College Eddie THE SAMPLER KDWAKI) CAPRON If is very hard In seek to please everybody’ Student Advisory Hoard 4, 3, 4; Junior Prom 3; Football Formal t: Senior Class President 4; Home R run President 3; Hoys State 3; Freshman Reception 4; Christmas Dance 3. Meet our class president, the boy who has led us through our last year with Hying colors. Eddie has proven his splendid leadership and ability by being an outstanding student. Of course, all his life isn’t school. Oh. no! Eddie has his love-life ami plenty of it. Fletcher’s will be lost without its star worker. Never a day goes by that Eddie isn't seen busily working away, either at some chore or at keeping the help company. Eddis is another honor student and was voted smartest boy. MARY CETTO General “ Then she will talk; ye gads how she will talk Mary Glee Club 3; Music Festival 3; ‘ Au Old Kentucky Garden” 3; Cafeteria; Home Room Represent live 4; Junior Prom 3; Jr. High School Tournament 4; Librarian, 3. Mary is a gal with a cheerful and happy-go-lucky disposition. We wonder what Newberry’s will do without her. The same goes for the fire department for she has been a morale builder for both. A friend to all ami one born with a glorious sense of humor, Mary has a wide range of pals. She is quite a chemist. At every laboratory period the Cetto—O’Connor experiment always took the cake. “Hut it was loads of fun,” Mary says! You’ll make a wonderful nurse. PETER CRAFTS General Pete Still water runs deep Activities at Stoneham High, Stoneham, Mass; Hasehall 1, 4, 3; Football 1, 4; Traffic Monitor 3. Pete is the one fellow in the class of ’47 from whom we never hear a word. Perhaps, if w« got to know him better., that covering of silence would unveil a true, jolly fellow. The Crafts- Tolin combination is quite the thing. A word of advice is, “Don’t do everything Dean tells you to do!” Dean hasn’t succeeded in some of his bigger and more dangerous plots. Hut time will tell. “To listen is to learn” may well be his motto, for Pete does just that. With looks, a nice smile and brains we’re sure of your success. DANIEL CRAY General Dapper Hell is empty—all the devils are here (ilec Club 4; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Football Formal 4. If anyone should ask, “Who’s the fellow in the class of ’47 who kept it live- ly and jumping its past four years at R. F. H. S.?” quickly reply, “Danny Cray, the wit and joker.’ Dan is never without a joke or remark in answer to every- thing the teachers say. He’s the reason teachers need a vacation. When the teachers start to shout, no one needs to look to see who the victim is. He could be innocent, but, with that Irish grin and spark of deviltry in his eyes, Dan is the logical suspect. He also has a way with the women. We can truthfully say our class wouldn’t be complete without Dan. KENNETH CURRIER College Butch Leave lit- bottle on the chimney piece and don't ask me to take none, but let me put my lips to it when I am so disposed J. V. Football 1: Varsity Football 3, V; Husketball 3, 4; Hasehall 1. 3, I; Interclass Hasketball 4; Glee Club 4; Class Vice President 4; Football Formal 4; Hi! Schooler 4; “An Old Spanish Custom 4; Boy’s State 3. There’s no doubt about it; Hutch is the tallest boy in the class! And he really uses his size to an advantage. In all major sports Hutch has been a star and a most valuable player. On a dance floor he is one of the best. Hutch has had more than his share of women while in school. Springfield seems to be popular with him but B. F. still holds his interests. His secret ambition is to be able to drive his car without holding on to the steering wheel! This swell athlete is a regular guy!

Schooler 1, 4: “June Mad 4. Whenever anyone mentions a joke or humorous incident yo i can bet that June has her two cents in on the deal. One of the most happv-go- lucky dam- sels of the class and a gal blessed with a golden disposition, June has kept things rolling with her humor. Perhaps that’s why she walked off with four n tables! Her connections with the opposite sex are many. Giftel with looks and a charming personality, the cards spell a sunny future for Jun • on her ranch in the West! CHARLES ANDERSON General “Charlie” “Man in the on y animal tha’ blushes” Baseball 1; Glee Club 4, 4; Spring Concert 4. Charlie is a representative of Bartonsville who has contributed to making our school days happy and mischievous. He is always smiling and is known for his sporty walk. Stop! Listen! Yes, it’s Charlie coming down the hall, full speed ahead. He’s a good friend and a regular guy. We all a rce that it takes loads of ambition to come down every morning from such a distance. We can imagine that the school bus holds many secrets for Charlie. ROBERT ANDOSCA General “Xoot” “Books cannot a’lrays please, hoteerer good; Minds are not erer rearing for their food” Basketball 1; Interclass Basketball 4; Baseball 1. Bob can really look innocent when he wants to and in the course of one school day he certainly has to. The teachers are finally catching on, so poor Bobby and Lady Luck arc separating. His Dad's car gets quite a work-out from him. If cars could talk, we could write pages and pages of his private life but we’ll let him off easy. He says lie’s going to be a professional furniture mover. After all the moving he did for plays we can vouch for his experience. This jovial, good natured fellow has a great many pals an 1 not all boys! ERNEST BLANCHARD General “Doc” “Let's ta'k of grares, of worms and epitaphs” Football I, . 4: Glee Club 4; Spotlight Club 3, 4: Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop, 3; Hi! Schooler 1, 4, 8; An Old Spanish Custom” 4: June Mad 4 Ernie is the good-nature I kid who hails from Gageville. He is one of those persons who is always cheerful and even-tempered, with a friendly atti- tude toward all his friends. His sharp wit and grand sense of humor have made some of his classes far from dull. Ernie proved in his junior year that he ha . the ability to be an orator, ending up with thire! prize in the State Oratorical Contest. He also has proven his athletic skill in football. His love-life seems a mystery, but perhaps a senior still holds his heart! DORIS BODINE General “Dor s” “Of grnt'e son to human rare a friend Basketball 8, 4; Interclass Basketball 3, t: Interclass Volleyball 3, 4: Glee Club 3, 4; Monitor 4; Junior Prom 3; Christmas Cantata 3, 4: Operetta L Doris is another one of our gals who is rather quiet and unassuming. She has a popular rating in Windsor. Say. what’s Iris name, Doris, or would that be telling? Mrs. Jones will lose a good player when graduation takes Doris! Besides having athletic ability Doris is always on hand to offer services. For a while we wondered whether or not the food in the cafeteria was the big attrac- tion. We doubt it! With a good disposition and a splendid sense of humor you’ll go far.

Stretch is the name we’ve given to the tall, lanky end on our football squad. He says he’d rather ski than eat. And we don’t wonder after all the time he spent at the Ski Howl this winter. What’s this we hear about you wanting to be a famous correspondent! Now we know. Remember, when you become famous, you got your start with Hi! Schooler. Another fellow-classmate who is a gifted dancer. Stretch has been the life of the class. Mr. MacCarthy will be lost without you. Stretch. But, won’t we all?

Schooler Staff 4, 8; Senior Sampler 4; “The Gypsy Rover” 4; “An Old Kentucky Garden 8; “An Old Spanish Custom” 4; Playnite 4; Senior Play 4. Don’t let that quiet manner deceive you. Jean is a girl who gets around. Physically she is in Bellows Falls, but mentally she is thinking of Bennington. Just get her started and Jean will talk endlessly about Ray. Oh well we would too! May your future be filled with happiness. We can’t see how you can be sad in your new Chevrolet! We know we wouldn’t be! EDWARD OCR ELL General “Chick” “ can be pushed just so far” Chick is one of the spark plugs of the class always in there with a joke and being a good sport if it’s on him. He is one of those responsible for keeping sociology class rolling and adding gray hairs to Mr. MacCarthy's head. He’s always ready and willing to make some fun for himself or for some one else. Chick is happy-go-lucky with not a care in the world. We envy his good nature. Maybe some day you’ll tell us how you manage to be so cheerful.

Schooler I, 4; “June Mad” 4; Girls State 8; Junior High Tournament 4; Home Room Secretary 4, 8; Christmas Cantata 4: “Old Spanish Custom” 4. Jeanne is forever with something on her mind, whether it's her duties as class secretary or her associations with the opposite sex Her love-life is very mixed up, but we all know one of our fellow classmates who will be sad when graduation comes along. Whether it’s Athens or Westminster, he is a lucky fellow who gels this gal. She’s smart, attractive, and full of initiative. She has a way that gets her places and things. May you be the success in the future that vou are in high school. • » WILLIAM FARRELL College BiU” “He is the eery pineapple of politeness” Baseball Manager 1: Senior Hop 8; Freshman Reception 3; Managing Editor Hi! Schooler 4; Monitor 3, 4; Student Advisory Board 4. Bill is one of the nicest and smartest boys in the class. He’s quiet and polite, plus being an all-round good sport. If you see him sort of starry-eyed, you’ll soon know the reason. It’s a certain neighbor of his in Westminster. Besides leading a busy love-life. Bill has managed to come through with wonderful marks. We sometimes wonder whether he’ll be another Einstein! His dad’s ear has seen plenty of action this year. It’s a wonder it isn’t all worn out. Perhaps it deserves a diploma, too!
