 10 THE S A M FLE R CARL WILLIAM BLAKE General Blakie” “He has heard the chimes at midnight.' Junior Varsity Football 2, 3; Spotlight Club 4; Hi! Schooler 3; Divine Flora 4. The good-looking lad you see ambling up the steps just as the last bell rings is probably none other than Carl. Carl deserves a lot of praise for he’s had a creditable school record and still held a job at the railroad station nights. He gets along well with everyone and that includes the fair sex. Take heed, girls, certain spies tell us that the way to Carl’s heart is through his stomach. In future years we expect Carl to be a successful railroad president. DELORES MAY BOUCHER General Dutchie “ take the world to be but as a stage. (ilee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Gypsy Rover 1; An Old Kentucky Garden 2; An Old Spanish Custom 3; Special Glee Club 4; Spotlight Club 3, 4; Home Economics Club 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Football Formal 4; Cafeteria 1, 2, 3; Hi! Schooler 1, 2; Prize Play, Antic Spring 3; The New England Drama Festival 3; The Minuet 4; The Divine Flora 4; Majorette 2; Librarian 1, 2; Monitor 3, 4; A. A. Secretary 4. Dutchie can always be counted on to do her share when a committee is chosen to work on some program or project. She plans to be a beautician and there’s no doubt that she’ll be a success. Dutchie has proven that she’s at home on the stage and the class has come to depend on her to make their dra- matic production a success. Skiing is her chief outside interest. It helps when you have a friend for a teacher, doesn’t it Dutch? PHILLIP JOSEPH BOUSQUET General tiousq He was not merely a chip off the old block, but the old block himself. Junior Varsity Baseball 1, 2; Baseball 3, 4; Junior Varsity Basketball 1, 2; Basketball 3, 4; Junior Varsity Football 2; Football 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2; Junior Prom 3; An Old Kentucky Garden 2; The Gypsy Rover 1; Little Jack Horner 2; Class President 1; Home Room President 1. Phil is one of the most popular fellows iu school and easily one of our most proficient athletes. He proved himself to be a skilled football player and nar- rowly missed landing a berth on the All-State team, being placed on the second squad. During the winter court, and spring diamond seasons, Phil held forth as a regular on both teams. Around school, his friendly manner has won him many friends. His graduation will leave a noticeable gap at B. F. If. S., but we wish you even more success in your future, Phil. JEAN ANN BRENNAN General “Jeannie” On udth the Dance! Let Joy be unconfined ” Glee Club 2, 4; Band 1, 2; Spotlight Club 4; Junior Prom 3; The Divine Flora 4. Jean with her dark hair and green eyes is one of the most temperamental girls in the senior class. She’ll keep you in fits of merriment with her “bed- time” stories. Where there’s a party there’s Jean and where there’s Jean there’s a party. Jean’s newest hobbies are collecting long skirts, new hair-dos and carpenter’s tools. She’ll never be without loads of friends for she has an abundance of helpful assets, including good looks, a sense of humor and an ability to do any kind of dancing from the “jitterbug” floor to the ballroom. JOANNE BRUCE General Fanny A quiet mind is richer than a crown (ilee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Home Economics 4; Gypsy Rover 1; An Old Kentucky (iarden 2; An Old Spanish Custom 3; Senior Play 4; Majorettes 2, 3; Librarian 3, 4. What is so rare as a quiet blonde? You say there aren’t such creatures? Oh yes there is. Joanne’s one. She’s done her share for the school just the same. She was one of the drum majorettes who led the band to success last year. As property manager of the Senior Play, Joanne had to do a lot of run- ning around and she did it all with a smile. We couldn't all do that. Best of luck to you, Joanne, in your plans for the future.

% T II E S A M P L E K 9 WHO’S WHO MARJORIE CLEM1NTINE ANDOSCA General Marge To manage men% one ouyhl to have a sharp mind in a velvet sheath. Latin Club 2; Junior Prom 3; Football Formal 4; Senior Hop 3; Basketball Manager 4; Business Manager of Sampler Board 4; Monitor 3, 4; Cafeteria I, 2. We can’t think of a better introduction to the class than Marge, the girl who always has a cheery smile and hello for everyone. We often wonder where the girls’ basketball team would have been if Marge weren’t there to buy oranges and guin before every game. You see. Marge was the star manager. The first day of vacation usually finds this girl bound for Lawrence. No one asks what the big attraction is, but we can guess, can’t we? JEANNE AGNES ASHCROFT General “Jeunnie' The trorld has angels all too few (Bee (’tub 1,2 3; Monitor 4. A very quiet and peace loving girl from (iageville. And contradictory to the old familiar statement, she’s quiet even when you do get to know her. We know very little about her out-of-school activities, but sometimes you wonder about these quiet girls when they arc out of school. Are all girls that come from Gagevillc as quiet as Jean? Here’s joining a line of well wishers. MARY ANNE BARBER Commercial Mary Anne The devil cannot tie a woman's tongue.” Cheerleader 2, 3, 4; (Bee (Bub 1, 2, 3; Gypsy Rover 1; Spotlight Club 4; Home Economics (Bub 1, 2, 4; Senior Hop 3; Art Editor of Hi! Schooler 2, 3; Art Editor of Senior Sampler 4; Divine Flora 4; Monitor 3, 4. Mary Anne, one of the most dependable girls in the senior class, is always willing to cooperate. Where would we have been if it hadn't been for Mary Anne and her artistic talent when formal time came around? She is also one of the ‘‘Peppy Six” who cheered our boys along during football and basketball seasons. This tall, good-looking, cooperative and full-o’-pep girl also has another asset which helps her to get along well with everyone; and that is a wonderful personality. B'hat personality will take you a long way on the road to success, Mary Anne. RITA MARY BARBIERI Commercial “Pep I laughed, and danced, talked and sang. Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 1; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Home Economics Club 2. 3, Gypsy Rover 1; An Old Kentucky Garden 2; Junior Prom 3; Senior Sample Typist 4; Hi! Schooler Typist 3, 4; Monitor 4. Ask Rita about dancing and then see her eyes light up! For a while after dances ended at the Blue and Gold, Rita went around with a rather long face. This didn’t last long though because Rita loves to laugh. Rita is a loyal B. F rooter at sports events. It’s too bad everyone hasn’t got her school spirit. Rita is a whiz at typing so there’s no doubt about her being a successful secre- tary. PARKER BURNHAM BLAKE College Burn Hunger is sharper than the sword. Band 1. 2; Orchestra 1, 2; Glee Club 1; Spotlight Club 1; Hi! Schooler 1, 2; Elmer and the Lovcbug 1; A. A. Treasurer 4; Junior High 'rournament 4; Junior Rotarian; Bovs’ State. Burnham has done a wonderful job as A. A. Treasurer, which without a doubt is a very tough assignment. He certainly knows how to choose his com- panions, especially those in the fair sex. We all admit she’s a swell gal. The Times would have a major problem if Burnham ever quit. We feel that it won’t be long before Burn is owner of a national publishing company. Best of luck to this fellow who’s seldom without a smile.

T HE S A M V L E K 11 ROBERT EDWARD BUSHWAY General “Bob” “Be careful, young fella! Y oure ready for love. Monitor 4; Industrial Arts Award. Boh has been 48’s outstanding contribution to the shop classes. He walked off with the Shop Award in his Sophomore year. Although Bob is notice- able for his quiet manner, he has done his share for the Monitor system. Some- time. ask him how he liked serving down in the “salt mines.“ If you’re looking for Bob just find Al McCoy: they are inseparable. On the class trip everyone decided that Bob was one of the nicest fellows in our class. Mr. (voiding will miss him, but, then, won’t we all? JOHN JOSEPH CENTER General “John” “Woman mould be more charming if one could fall into her arms without falling into her hands” Special Glee Club 2; Spotlight Club 2, 3, 4; Hi-Schooler 8; Young Man's Fancy 2. Miss Santamaria had better watch her typewriters when he is around; he’s apt t«» have them in a million pieces. John loves to tinker with everything. John, we hope you havens much luck putting them back together again as you do taking them apart. He's another star pupil in shop class. The class has made use of his artistic talents, too. He has made posters and worked on scenery for almost every stage production while he’s been in school. We’ve appreciated it and will certainly miss his efforts. BEVERLY ANN CHILDS General “Ber” “Spare your breath to cool your porridge.” Softball 2; Glee Club 2; Spotlight Club 1, 2, 8, 4; Home Economics Club 1. 2, 8, 4; Junior Prom 8; Senior Hop 8; Football Formal 4; Librarian 1, 2, 8, 4; Cafcteriu 1. 2; Elmer and the Lovebug 1; The Divine Flora 4. Yappity, yappity, yap yap- that’s Bcv our happy-go-lucky classmate with those great big beautiful eyes and the snappy clothes. There’s never a dull moment in her life. She’s kept busy with her many admirers—and we don’t mean girls. Rev’s another skiing fan who likes the people she meets while skiing! Right now her chief ambition is to get rested after a long chain of parties. Bcv deserves all the breaks and here’s wishing her all kinds of luck. Go to it, Bev. DANIEL EDWARD CROWLEY College “Danny” “Thou hast seen nothing yet” Manager Football, Baseball, Basketball 4; Junior High Tournament 4; Spotlight Club 2, 8, 4; Latin Club 8; Hi! Schooler 2. 8; The Happy Journey 8; Antic Spring 8; Prize Play 8, 4; The Divine Flora 4; Quiet Please 4; New Eng- land Drama Festival 8; Christmas Cantata 4; Class Vice President 1, 2; Fresh- man Reception 4; Student Advisory Board 3, 4; Vice Chairman of S. A. B. 4. Deacon is one of the best actors ever to take Bellows Falls High School by storm. When this tall Irish lad isn’t acting, he’s busy performing his duties as manager of all the boys’ varsity athletic teams. On the side, Dan can write a poem for any occasion at a moment’s notice. Deacon is one of the brains of the class. He established some sort of a record, as a freshman, when he got all “AY’ and then got both a 5 and 6 in study hall. Not everyone could do that. JOAN ANN DEMPSEY General “Joan” “Every inch of her a queen ” Basketball 3, 4; Softball 2, 8, 4; Tennis 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Special Glee Club 2, 3, 4; All New England Chorus 4; Home Economics Club I. 2, 8, Pres- ident 4; Spotlight Club 1, 2, 3. 4; Football Formal 4; Junior Prom 3; Hi! School- er 2, 3; Freshman Play 1; Antic Spring 8; New England Drama Festival 3; The Divine Flora 4; Monitor 3, 4; Assistant Business Manager Sampler 4; Librar- ian 1, 2, 3; Junior High Tournament 4; Gypsy Rover 1; An Old Kentucky Garden 2. Easily one of the most attractive and best dressed girls in our class, Joan is also very popular. As a forward on the girls’ basketball team, Joan was one of the high scorers this year. Joan and her pal. Mary Margaret, manage to have friends in every town they pass through. For example, mention the New Eng- land Music Festival. Just as a hint he was tall, blond and darn good looking. As a nurse, Joan will undoubtedly be the best. Joan can count as her friend almost everyone in the class.
