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.

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!

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.

TIIE S A MPLE ft BEVERLY ANN FONTAINE General “Bev” “Tiro to full and bright—tuck eyesl Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Home Economics Club 2, 3, 4; Tea Dance 2; Junior Prom 3; Football Formal 4; Hi! Schooler 2, 3; Gypsy Rover 1; Old Kentucky Garden 2; Cheerleader 2, 3, 4; Monitor 3, 4. Bev is another one of the Senior cheerleaders who has cheered the boys through all the games, whether we were ahead or behind. Conversation is never at a standstill when Bev’s around. Her laugh is contagious, but no one minds catching anything like that. We sometimes wonder whether the ticket sales at the “State” went up when Bev became the ticket seller. It’s our guess that they did. Your smile and laugh will enable you to go far in the future. Best of luck, Bev. RUTH ELAINE FREIHOFER Commercial “Ruthie’ You were born for something great Hi! Schooler 3, 4; Monitor 4; Art Editor Sampler 4. Ruth is a very quiet girl who really accomplishes a lot in a day. As sec- retary of the monitor system she was kept busy. Not satisfied with only this job, she’s always willing to use her artistic ability for some school affair. Several gym decorations have been a testimony to her skilled hand. Chosen the best artist in the class, Ruth will go far with her brains aud talent. JEAN ELIZABETH GADREAULT General “Jeanie” “ Man hat hit will—but woman hat her way Glee Club 1; Home Economics Club 1; Home Room Committee 2; Senior Play 4; Librarian 4. Jean is from Saxtons River, but that doesn’t mean she’s never in B. F. She finds it very convenient to have a sister who lives in town. The class could always depend on Jean whether they wanted someone to work at a food sale or wanted a program seller. Although most of the girls envy Jean’s chance to know the V. A. boys, she seems to be perfectly content with what B. F. has to offer. No one will mind being sick when they have Jean to take care of them. DORIS EILEEN GAFF General “Dorry” “She wears her heart upon her sleeve.' Glee Club 2, 8, 4; An Old Spanish Custom 3; Home Economics Club 4; Junior Prom 4. Doris hails from Bartonsvillc. We don’t see her too often after the bus leaves, but that doesn’t mean that she shirks her share of the school duties. Doris has been a member of the Glee Club throughout school aud has lent a hand to other activities as they came up. However, we know her time is pretty well taken up by Fred. When we see that diamond sparkle on her left baud, there’s no need to guess about her future. Best of luck in the future, Doris. You deserve it! FLORENCE ELIZABETH GLYNN General “Flossy “Her pulse beats matrimony. Glee Club 2. 8. We almost put Florence down as the quiet type, until a few friends told us differently, aud recently we overheard an argument over letters. Flossy, we take it all back. We all agree, though, that she’s a grand sport. She’s been a staunch member of interclass teams since she was a freshman. We don’t know much about Florence’s outside interests, but we do know she has some nice fellow’s ring. Would you miud telling us all about it, Florence? She hopes to go to business school. We all know she’ll be successful.
