12 THE SAMPLER EDWARD ROBERT FABIAN, JR. General Bob My heart's a lonely hunter that hunts on a lonely hill. Baseball 1, 2, 8; Football 1, 2; Junior From 8; Football Formal I; Senior Hop 3. Bob is one of our best sportsmen. If you think he’s quiet just ask him about his hunting experiences. For the last three years, he’s come home with the venison. Although he is one of the more conservative, less noticeable members of our class, critical eyes voted Bob the best dressed boy of the class, which he well deserved. It is a noticeable coincidence that he is continually seen escorting our best dressed girl. Bob’s future plans aren’t certain as vet, but we are sure that with his quiet, likeable ways he will reach the top in what- ever field he chooses. MARIE DOROTHY FRENETTE General Marie The wrong tray altrays seems the more reasonable. Glee Club 1, 2; Softball 1, 2, 3, 4; Home Ec Club 1. Marie seems to be quiet in school but some people think differently. She’s a good sport, anyway, we all agree on that. When it comes to interclass games, Marie is the first one there and, as an outfielder in softball, a better one would be hard to find. We don’t know too much about your outside interests, but maybe you could tell us, Marie. May you have the best of luck in the future. SHIRLEY FRANCIS GRAY General Shirl Light or dark, short or tall, she sets a trap to snare them all. Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Softball 1, 2, 3, 4; Spotlight Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; New England Dramatic Festival 2; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Prize Play 3; Football Formal 4; Librarian 4. When Mrs. Jones issued a call for first string forwards, Shirl answered— with dividends! This wasn’t the first time—athletics are her specialty. Dra- matics run a close second, and Shirl’s a top-notcher in both. She’ll' always laugh at your jokes, no matter how corny, and then come back with some herself. Shirl’s always in question about the out-of-town men. She does her best to remain faithful to all of them. Maybe her smooth dancing helps. That’s Shirl, the fun-loving girl of the Senior Class. LOUISE MARIE GROUT College Louise The beauty of art is irreplaceable. Hi! Schooler 1, 2, 3; Monitor 4. Louise is the class artist, and what an artist! She has done everything from painting the mural in the cafeteria, to designing Christmas card's, and even illustrating poems! When the honors were announced, Louise took second place as our salutatorian. Besides this, she always has time for the opposite sex, we hear. U. V. M. will be getting a wonderful girl next year and we’re sure Ixniise will be at the head of her class. PRENTISS WHITING HAINES, JR. College Bing Think in the morning, art in the noon, eat in the evening, sleep in the night. Senior Play 2; Christmas Pageant 2; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 8; Play Nile 3; Spotlight Club 3; Football Formal 4; Football 4. This quiet, good-looking fellow is none other than Bing Haines, the idol of many a lass. He manages to keep them all guessing and has fun doing it. Com’on, Bing, give them a break. If he would plough through his English like he did through the football line. Miss Brown wouldn’t have so many worries! He’s always on hand to set up scenery or Prom decorations and occasionally takes part in a play. Here’s wishing you the best, Bing!

THE SAMPLER 11 WILLIAM CBOTTY College Billy Sometimes I wonder; other limes I know. Business Manager of the Junior High Tournament 4; Hi! Schooler Staff 3; Freshman Basketball; Junior Varsity Basketball 2: Latin Club 2 Basketball 3, 4; Track 3, 4; Tennis 3, 4; Junior High Tournament 8; State Junior Tennis Singles Champion 8; Latin Club 3; Spotlight Club 3; Boys’ State 8; Vice President Home Room 3; Monitor 3, 4; Play Nite 3; Football 4; Senior Play and Play Nite 4; Spotlight Club 4; Football Formal 4; Freshman Reception 4; Junior Rotarian 4; Sock Dance 4; Buseball 4; Joint Concert 4; Spring Conc- ert 4; Junior Prom 3. Billy is one fellow who is not only well known in Bellows Falls High but also around the state, being Vermont’s Junior Tennis Champion for two years now. With all this, Bill is also one of our leading basketball scorers and other sports also take up most of his time. This is why we can’t figure out how Bill gets those marks and that third honor. There is no question that with this kind of ambition, and Bill’s winning personality, certain success is ahead for him at college and in later life. DENNIS DAMON College Dennis To appreciate heaven well, 'lis good for a man to have some fifteen minutes of Hell Junior Varsity Football 1; Junior Varsity Basketball 1; Monitor 2, 3, Lieutenant 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Operetta 2 Student Advisory Board i, 3, 4; Home Room Committee 2, 4; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 8; New England Chorus 3; Special (ilee Club 3, 4; Play Nite 4; Spotlight Club 4; Football Formal 4. Dennis is one of the quieter boys of the (’lass and he never seems to have much to say, but, when he does, look out! Between Clark’s Store ami Saxtons River most of his leisure time is taken up. Besides this and studying he still finds time to hold his end up in the tenor section of the special glee club and also to be one of Miss Santamaria’s right hand men on the monitor system. As a friend and good sport you couldn’t ask for any better and we are sure that whatever Dennis does in the future he will be successful. SHEILA ANN DESNOYERS College Shel Silence is golden. Home Room Representative 1; Basketball 1, 2, 8, 4; Softball 1, 2, 3, 4; (ilee Club 1, 2, 3; HilSchooler 1, 2: Latin Club 2; Play Nite 2, 8; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 8; French Play 3; Senior Play 4; Football Formal 4; Librarian 4. “ Let me introduce myself. Not only am I athletic and a robust young wit, but also first cousin to the atom bomb. Of course, a large part of my inspiration comes from Wallingford, Vt. He’s really swell! My future? Oh, that’s all taken care of. Three years of schooling and then—who knows? I probably will be nursing either here or there. I’ve really had a grand time here in B.F.H.S. and, since I livened up many a class, all the teachers, in- cluding Mr. Osborn, have my full permission to sit back, relax, breathe a sigh of relief and just hope and pray that the future years don’t see another such pesky rascal. ” IRENE DUFFY Commercial l ffy Her brown eyes conceal the deviltry behind them. (ilee Club 1, 2, 3; Home Ec Club 3; Senior Play Committee 4. Irene is the blond-haired, brown-eyed, happy-go-lucky girl with the great big smile and very pleasing personality, and, of course, last but not least, in this description let’s not forget her dimples. She comes from Saxtons River and along with her share of boy friends, Irene has been indispensable to Kurn Hattin during these years on their basketball team and as a Major- ette for their band. Many fine qualities and lots of good nature will surely make Irene a success. JOAN MERLE DYMOND College Joanie Style is the dress of thought. Basketball 1, 2; Hi! Schooler 1, 2; Softball 2; Spotlight Club 2, 3, 4; Roman Banquet 2: Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Monitor 4; Football Formal 4; Special (ilee Club 4; Junior High Tournament 4; Senior Sampler 4; All-State Chorus 4; Christmas Play 4; Senior Play 4. Joan is what they mean when they say, “Gentlemen prefer blondes.” Besides being tall, blonde, and our best dressed girl, she’s smart too, and a college future looks bright for her. It doesn’t seem funny that this year’s best dressed boy frequents Joan’s house on Pine Street because this couple have become one of the stable twosomes of the class in the past few years. Joan seems to have that extremely pleasing and dependable way that gains her many friends. She has been an excellent supporter of our school and she’s also noted for being the perfect hostess over these school years, with parties which cannot be forgotten. Whenever there is something to be done, Joan is always on the spot ready and willing to help and there is no doubt that, whatever she does and wherever she goes, she’ll be a tremendous success.

JUNE HALL THE SAMPLER 13 College June Every inch of her a queen. Hand 1, 2, 8, 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; (lice Club 1, 3, 4; Special (lice Club 3, 4; Vermont State Music Festival 2, 3, 4; New England Music Festival 2, 3, 4; Home Room Treasurer 3; Play Nile 4, Football Formal 4; Senior Play 4; Sampler Hoard 4; Spring Concert 1, 2, 3, 4; Christmas Cantata 1, 3, 4; Junior High Tournament 4. Who is that girl who plays the piano, the cello, the bells, the drums, the tympannie, sings in the Glee Club, and won the best actress award? You ask? Well, it’s none other than our June. She certainly keeps busy with all these activities and figuring ways in which to get back and forth between Bellows Falls and Rockingham—but she manages. Whenever she’s around, there’s bound to be fun. If you don’t believe it, just mention those dances at Walpole ami the parties out at Spofford Lake. Some fun, huh, June? May you have the best of luck and success in your future career, June, you certain- ly deserve it. ANN BALLOU HARRIS College Ann A lair unto herself. Special Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Kentucky Garden 1; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 8; Freshman Dance 1; Home Room Secretary 2: Hurlington Music Festival 4; New England Music Festival 4; An Old Spanish Custom 2; Christ- mas Cantata 2, 3, 4; Football Formal 2, 4; Latin Club 2: Senior Play Com- mittee 2, 4; Sophomore Party 2, Home Room Program 3, 4; Junior Party 3; Hi! Schooler 3; Play ite 3, 4; Spotlight Club 3, 4; Monitor 3, 4; Sock Dance 4; St. Patrick’s Day Dance 4; Sampler Board 4; Freshman Reception 4. That was no cyclone! That was Ann. Here’s a person who always seems to be either keeping someone in stitches with her witty remarks or crazy antics or else working towards making a success out of some class function, such as her delightful, original schemes for the decorating end of some of our formats. Ann is certainly a vital part of our class with her looks, personality, artistic ability, and musical and dramatic talent. She not only sets the pace for our world of fashion but also for many new ideas in class planning. Ever seen a boy sporting a pair of argyles? He must be one of Ann’s various beaus. Her Rumpus Room has added to the excitement of some of our good times this year. JANE CECELIA HARTY General Janie Then she u'ill talk, ye gods, how she will talk. Home Ec Club 1, 2, 3; Glee Club 2, 4; Softball 2; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Football Formal 4; Play . ite 4; Senior Play 4; Monitor 4. We’re all ardent admirers of this attractive, well dressed girl—the very ideal of courtesy, wit, charm, and grace. A sudden outburst of laughter is never unusual when Janie’s around, and she can easily be identified by that laugh! What a diversity of talents she possesses, which might well put us to shame for not being so ambitious. In dramatics she’s our Catherine Cornell and her vocal cords are exercised continuously between singing and being a sincere and loyal fan for H. F. H. S. Her knitting accomplishments are amazing and, if she can handle her patients similar to a pair of her knitting needles, she'll be very successful. With such a nice personality, this future nurse has much to look forward to, and so have the patients! PATRICIA NORMA HINDS College Patty As merry as the day is long. Home Room Treasurer 1, Class Treasurer 2, 4 ; Ha ml 1, 2, 3; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Student Advisory Board 1, 2, 3, 4; Softball 2, 4; Latin Club 2; Home Room Secretary 3; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Spotlight Club 3, 4; Librarian 3, 4; Monitor 4; Football Formal 4; Senior Play 4; Freshman Re- ception 4; Sock Dance 4. This cute trick from Gageville has played an important role in the history of our high school career. As far as sports go, Patty is tops. In fact, accord- ing to some fellows, she’s tops in everything, and we agree. Always ready and willing, she has been our class treasurer two out of four times, and that’s no cinch, is it, Pat? With all the experience she’s had as an aide at the hospital, she’s sure to be a wonderful nurse in the future. Our hats are off to you, Pi “I MARION CLAIRE HOGAN Commercial Marion Music is well said to be the speech of angels. Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Home Room Treasurer l;An Old Kentucky Garden 1; Special Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Hurlington Music Festival 1, 2, 3; Thanksgiving Hall 1; A Young Man’s Fancy 2; An Old Spanish Custom 2; Secretary of Dra- matic Club 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom 3; New Hampshire Girls’ State 3; Senior Play 4; Monitor 4; Play Nite 4; New England Music Festival 4. Marion is that blonde bomber who hails from North Walpole and, boy, does she let you know it! When you see a group of people roaring with laughter, you can be sure Marion is in the midst of them. She has done her share of acting and singing these past four years, on top of earning one of the top honors. Now that you are working at the telephone office, we’re going to miss your wonderful popcorn, Marion. We’re going to miss those jokes next year (corny as they may be) and that cheerful personality that brings forth hilarity wherever you appear.
