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.

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.

THE SAM P L E R 14 JAY HERMAN GORDON General Ikey He was a man of an unbounded stomach. Glee Club 1, 2; Discussion Group 4; The Gypsy Rover 1; A Kentucky Garden 2. Whenever words are flying thick and fast, you will find Jay defending another New York Giants’ loss. It seems that his ambition is to be the third base coach for Mel Ott. Well, never mind. Jay, they will get into the World Series someday. When it comes to finding someone who has got his homework done. Jay usually has to do the finding. In Jay the monitor system will lose a good mark—who’s going to get all the warnings now? We’re all going to miss that cheerful smile and the man with the incorrect answers, but undoubtedly our loss is someone’s gain. LEONA MARY GRIGNON Commercial Lee So light of foot, so light of spirit Cheerleader 2, 3, 4; Spotlight Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Football Formal 4; Hi! Schooler 4, Managing Editor 2, 3; Elmer and the Ix ve Bug 1; The Divine Flora 4; Three’s a Crowd 4; Antic Spring 3; Monitor 2, 3, 4; Librarian 2; Girl’s State 3; Prize Play 3. If you happen to be walking through the halls of Bellows Falls High School and see a certain monitor with a super smile on her face,you will know it is none other than Leona. She is the blonde heartbreaker from North Walpole. The way she spreads that charm around is really a mystery. She doesn’t have much time for the boys now because of the tall blond whom we all know'. She also showed her ability on the stage, on the basketball floor and football field as a cheerleader. We don’t have to wish her success because we know her life’s ambition, and it looks pretty good. LOWELL DOUGLAS HANSON General Scoop What cannot be cured, must be endured.” Football 4; Spotlight Club 4; Football Formal 4; Freshman Reception 4; Hi! Schooler 2; Divine Flora 4; Discussion Group 4. Lowell, the guy with the innocent expression. But, believe us, there’s many a need for that innocent look. Lowell and a few others are the cause of our summer vacations. For the kids? Lord no! For the teachers. In addition to his athletic ability, proven during football season, he also starred as Buzz, the supersalesman in the Senior Play. Quite an actor, we’ll say. Ix well has many ambitions, but his main one is to run the car until it falls apart. MARY LOUISE HARTY College Mary Lou AU is fair in lore and war Basketball 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Majorette 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Hi! Schooler 3; Gypsy Rover 1. Here comes the band and w’hom do we see way out in front? Why, it’s Mary Lou, of course. A real strutter, by gosh. Holding her own on the basketball floor, she really outdid herself. By the way, was the Navy any help? Mary Lou, with that red hair, good looks and personality, you shouldn’t have a thing to worry about. WILMA CHARLOTTE HENDERSON College Dimples Her eyes how they twinkle, her dimples how merry Basketball 2, 4; Softball 3, 4; Glee Club 1; Home Economics Club 1, 2, 3; Vice President Latin Club 3; Junior Prom 3; Freshman Reception 4; Hi!School- er 2, 3; Treasurer Home Room 1, 2; Monitor 4; State Vice President of Home Economics Club 2; Class Vice President 4. “Dimples! Dimples!” Where she got this nickname is beyond the shadow of a doubt. Wilma did a swell job as class vice president, although she didn’t have too much of a job in that particular office, she was always willing to help anyone who needed her at any time. She showed everyone w hat she could do on the basketball floor and there seemed to be a cheering section of alumni there for her. With her charm, peaches-and-cream complexion she should be an aid to all patients in any part of the w’orld.
