10 THE SAMPLER M Ain MAR I HA BARIO Coin merci» I Mary Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

Schooler 2 Monitor 4; Senior Sampler 4. Mary is certainly well-liked and a friem) to all. We have all seen her right out front in the cheering section, giving her full support to the athletic teams. She is cute and has a very pleasing personality. Practically every Saturday night she is stomping at North Springfield. How do you manage to get those good marks with all the other activities you're in.v Mary has been a great help in raising money for our class. We’re not sure just what the future holds for you, but we can predict that it will be bright and successful. ERNEST JOHN BASHAW Merchandising Sig Think in the morning, art in the noon, cat in the crating, sleep in the night. Baseball 2, 3; Science Club 2 Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Football Formal 4. If you go to one of the local theatres, and sec a blond-haired, blue-eyed usher, and he yells. “Keep quiet,” don't be alarmed, because it is just Ernest doing his job. In school Ernie is very helpful when he puts his artistic talents to work. Not much is known about his love life, but rumors around the high school state that he is interested in a certain girl from Walpole Valley. Due to his artistic abilities, his chief ambition is to own a model agency, and we wish him all the luck and success in the world. CONSTANCE BEALS Commercial Connie Tlton hast seen nothing yet. Softball 2, 3; Basketball 2, 3; Spotlight Club 4; Senior Play 4; Monitor 4; Senior Sampler 4. Wherever you hear a gale of laughter, you’ll be sure to find Connie telling one of her famous jokes. She has a wonderful personality that has won her many friends since she came to us from Keene in her sophomore year. Every week-end you’ll find her heading to one of the neighboring towns to a “stomp. ” Taking the part of the comical Lila in the senior play was second nature to Connie. The future is bound to hold pleasant things for such a swell girl! SHIRLEY ANN BEMIS Commercial Woody Croat things come in small packages. Although she’s tiny, they say good things come in small packages, and, once you’ve seen our Shirl, you will know that this is so. She is one of our proud commercial students who is always in there pitching. Besides being good in the commercial line, she is graceful, cute, and neat; she is short and she is sweet. What more can one expect from a girl who can’t be beat! !

This is the popular fellow with the wavy hair who seems to make a hit with both sexes. In class as well as out, he has the enviable gift of keeping his schoolmates in stitches. Few of us will ever forget Ralph’s Sociology class. Some Fun! Although he may not be in the same class as Einstein, lie’s smart enough to be happy! Luck in the future, Ralph! ! PATRICK JAMES BA LHASA lt ) Merchandising Patsy IIell is cm ply all. the devils arc here. Junior Varsity Football 3; Junior Varsity Baseball 2, 3; Play Nile t; Spotlight Club 4. Coming from North Walpole and nearing the home stretch, is this coura- geous young man who walks a “country mile” to school every morning, well, nearly every morning. Active in several phases of school life, he stars on the baseball diamond as well as on the stage. Quite a man with the ladies too, we hear, as well as being a member of the National (iuard. As you might guess, lie leads a busy life. Knowing you’re a fast worker, Patsy, here’s to the future! ! JANE FRANCES BARBER Civic Jam Lije is trlial you make it. Spotlight Club 1. ‘2.

Whether it’s a dance, a party, or just an afternoon with the kids, Jane's laughter and wise remarks really keep things going. She’s one of those tall girls who makes us all admire her height. Jane has answered the calls for help when formals or plays were being put on. All this adds up to a friendly, well- liked girl who will be a success in whatever she attempts. ELIZABETH ANN BARNES Civic Hetty The silent girl is I lie best to listen to. Home Economics ('lull 1, 2, 3; Librarian 2, 3, 4; Monitor 4. Betty might be termed the quietest girl in the class of I960. However, she’s a good one to have around in time of need, for she reaches out a helping hand to you, whether it’s to carry a book or lend a cent or two. It seems that her two main hobbies are baby-sitting and knitting. A good combination for later life, eh, Betty? We, the class of 1950, wish you luck in your future.

T I I K s A M P L E K 11 LAWRENCE GORDON BENSON Civic Beanie I can hr pushed just so Jar. Varsity Football 3, 4; Monitor 4; Homeroom President 4, 3; Junior Rotarian 4; Junior High Tournament 4. Beanie is one of the best-natured boys we have. He has participated in football and has proven to be a valuable man to the sport. We certainly like those “hot square-dances at Benson’s Barn. Well all remember Beanie for the swimming lesson he gave us in chemistry class the day he broke the main water pipe. Mr. Davis will not forget, either. Here’s luck and success to, shall we say,—one of our most adventurous members. ELIZABETH ANNE HOLLES College Preparatory Betty Success treads on the heels of every right effort. Basketball Manager 3, t. Tennis 3, 4; Band and Orchestra I. 4. 3; Vice- president and Librarian t; All State Band 4: All State Orchestra .3, 4; Latin Club President 4. Roman Banquet 1.

Schooler 4, Business Manager 3; Journalism Award 3; Asst Business Manager Sampler Board 4; Play Nile prompter 4; Spotlight Club 4: Cafeteria 4; A. A. Treasurer 4: Junior High Tournament 4. As manager of the girls basketball team, this friendly gal from the Terrace certainly did a swell job. The band and orchestra will be losing one of their most valuable members when she leaves; just ask her to direct for you sometime. As treasurer of the A. A. she had writer’s cramp. Ever been to one of her parlies? No? Well, you’re missing a treat. Best of luck in your chosen field. CLAIRE REGINA BOUSQCET Commercial Bousq Man has his will, hut woman has her way (Jlee Club 1, Home Economies Club 1; Freshman Party 1; Sophomore Nile 4 Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Junior Party 3; Freshman Reception 4; Football Formal 4; Cafeteria 1, 4 Librarian 4: Cheerleader 3, 4. If you’re looking for a girl who has a sense of humor, nice personality, and good looks, then look on the basketball floor and see Claire cheering the team along. No wonder she’s popular; she has a smile for everyone. Whenever there is a joke or humorous incident, you can bet Claire is there, putting in her two cents worth. She will argue you blue in the face that “ E SHOt’LI) HAVE WON THAT GAME! !” Her masculine interests change frequently but they are always the athletic type. Good luck! ROBERT FARR BROWN College Preparatory Boh lie thinks too much; such men are dangerous. Who’s the snazzy-looking guy with the cocky walk, coming down the aisle? Right the first time; it’s Bob Brown! Where would we have been these past four years without his timely (?) class comments? He’s quite a socialite too, we hear, fond of dancing, dancing, and more dancing! Not only that, but he’s very obliging about taking his friends places in his little buggy. Am- bitious, too. 11c plans to take up Civil Engineering! We’ll be pulling for you, Bob!
