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.

 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.

12 THE SAMPLER ROBERT PREVILLE DE ROSE General “Chink” “Though he he but little, he is fierce.” Track 4; Band 3, 4; Orchestra 3; Glee Club 4; An Old Spanish Custom 3. Rutland High lost a great fellow when Bob came to Bellows Falls. He promptly became a drummer in our band and orchestra and made a great hit as “Chink in “An Old Spanish Custom.” Bob is an out-of-door enthusiast and, seeing him out with his big friend, Wes Nies, is really seeing the long and short of it. Going to agricultural school and someday having a farm of his own arc included in Bob’s plans for his future. We can’t think of anyone we’d wish more luck to than you, Bob. JAMES ANTHONY ENO Commercial “Jimmy” “And thus he bore trithout abuse, the grand old name of Gentleman.” Junior Varsity Football 3; Track 4; Junior From 3; Hi! Schooler 2; Sam- pler Typist 4. Introducing the wonder boy of the commercial department. We used to think Jimmy was always quiet, but, after seeing him with the “boys,” we’ve changed our minds. Although Jimmy is the only boy taking the commercial course, he’s easily one of the star typists. This year he went out for football and track and proved his skill in both sports. Congratulations to the politest boy in the class. JEANNETTE DORCAS FAIRBROTHER College “Jan” “Many, they $ay, have I.” Dramatic Club 2; Football Formal 2, 3; Little Jack Horner 2; Home Room Secretary 2, 3. Jeannette is another attractive member of our class. Most of us have a difficult time keeping track of her many beaus, but the other girls wish they could have as much luck with the opposite sex as Jeannette does. Here’s a girl who loves skiing and horseback riding. Ask her about these sports any time. She’ll be glad to tell you all about them. Incidentally, we heard why it was so quiet in the back of the Chem Lab. She and Bill have been working on disappearing red ink, to be used on report cards. JOHN PATRICK FITZGERALD General “Fitz” “A joke's a very serious thing.” Football 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1; Football Formal 4; Senior Hop 3. Fitz has the map of Ireland on his face. Along with this, he’s got the Irish sense of humor and gift of gab. Fitzie was chosen Most Talkative Boy in the class, but no one minds listening to him, because he’s always happy. Fitz has been a dependable member of the football team for two years and he’ll be missed on the team next year. Whenever you want to tell a joke or hear one, look for Fitz. He’s the fellow you want! MARY JOANNE FITZGERALD General “Fiizie” “Babble, babble, little brook.” Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; The Gypsy Rover 3; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; An Old Ken- tucky Garden 2; An Old Spanish Custom 3; Latin Club 1, 2, 3; Spotlight Club 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom 3; Football Formal 4; Senior Hop 3; Hi! Schooler 1, 2, 3; Elmer and the Lovebug 1; The Divine Flora 4; Little Jack Horner 2; Monitor 4; Assistant Librarian 4. Fitzie is an attractive, vivacious blonde from North Walpole. It’s hard to find anyone in B. F. High who doesn’t call Fitzie a friend. She has seldom missed a sports event during the past four years. We sometimes wonder what the teams would have done without her vocal support. Fitz is another one of our actresses; she’s done her share in many plays. More than one teacher has remarked about her golden gift of gab, but that’s never stopped her wonder- ful stream of talk for long. We’d have been rather bad off without Fitzie to keep up our spirits throughout high school.
