THE S A M PLER 15 PAUL WILLIAM EMERSON Civic Doc If there isn't any fun, I start a circus of my own. Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom 3: Senior Hop 3; Football Formul 4; Spotlight Club 4. The cause of all the disturbance in study hall? Oh, you must mean Doc. No, he isn’t the quiet type; he doesn’t believe in it. Doc is often seen at dances in Wulpole and Springfield. We wonder what he does the other nights of the week. Homework? Impossible—he doesn't believe in that either. With his exceptionally likable ways, he's sure to be a success in any field he chooses. HOLLAND STANLEY FISHER Civic Ronni Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we may die. Basketball 3; Baseball 3; Spotlight Club 4; Play Nite 4. Here’s the fellow who came to B. F. from New Lebanon in our Sophomore yeur. Ronnie, being the class night-hawk, gets around quite a bit. He can always be seen in Springfield or one of the other neighboring towns. Never see him in B. F. though. Ronnie showed just how talented he really is, when he was culled on for Play Nite. Keep up the good work in the future, Ronnie PAUL FRANCIS FLAVIN Civic Flat Women? I hare never heard of women before. What are women like? Basketball 2, 3; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Freshman Reception 4; Football Formal 4. Paul is one of our more quiet boys. But you know the old saying,” Still water runs deep.” He’s also quite ambitious and certainly has done his bit in helping the class put on formats. The A P couldn’t have had a more indus- trious employee than Paul. He’s also a steady customer at the Friday night Walpole dances. What’s the attraction, Paul? Best of luck to a swell fellow. We know you’ll succeed. HUGH HENRY GRAGEN, JR. Civic Hughie Sometimes I wonder: other times I know.

Hugh has also offered his talents in basket- ball and football. He is a wonderful all-around sport, who has many friends, a good many, we hear, female. Here’s wishing you luck. Hugh; we know you will make good use of it.

The Curved Bar. If asked what she plans to do after graduation, Mary will smile ami reply, “He a housewife and, maybe, have six kids.” We wish you all luck, Mary.

Junior High Tournament 3; Science Club 1; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Football Formal 4; Monitor 3, 4; Cafeteria 4; Junior Rotarian 4. Here is the tall, dark, and handsome lad of the senior class. You have all seen him displaying his friendly smile, while directing traffic in the halls. You can always find him at the Saturday night dances showing his ability. We also know he’s been the life of many a party. Whatever Ned may decide to do iu the future, we know he will make good. CATHRINE THERESA DISKEN Civic Kitty And still the ironder grew, that one little head could carry all it knew. Spotlight Club 4, 3, 4; Sophomore Party 4; Junior Party 3; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Hi! Schooler 3; Sampler Hoard 4; Christmas Cantata 4; Librarian 1, 4, 3; Head Librarian 4; Monitor 4; Conversation is never at a standstill when Kitty's around. Dance, party, or any other social affair, Kitty is always there, right in the middle of every- thing. having the time of her life. Though she is the smallest girl iu the class, Kitty has been a big asset to the school. She has had her share of men and keeps the mailman pretty busy. Journalism is her choice for the future. We don’t have to wish her good luck, because, with her brains and personality, she can't help but succeed in unvthing she tries. ■ gr PRUDENCE MILLER DUFFY College Preparatory Prudy As merry as the day is long.

Commercial Gripps 1 ) 'I' HE S A M P L E R HOSE ANTOINETTE GRIPPO The world has angels all too few. Spotlight C‘lul Vice-President 4; Girls' State 3: Sophomore Dance 2; Football Formal 4: Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Hi! Schooler 2, 3, 4; “To 'Flic Lovely Margaret” 4: Senior Play 4; Home Room Secretary 3; Monitor 4. Rose is the girl who seems very quiet around school, but only to those who don’t know her very well. Her popularity is, perhaps, due to her cheerful and friendly manner. She proved her ability as an actress when she played the part of “mother” in “To The Lovely Margaret.” She went to Girls’ State as a Junior, too. We wonder if it’s really the work that’s so interesting down at the office, that makes Rose rush off every afternoon at 2:15! There’s no doubt that whatever she does, and wherever she goes, she’ll be a tremendous success. CLAYTON EMERSON GRISWOLD Civic Gizmo It is very hard to seel: to please everybody. Rand 1; Orchestra 1; Senior Hop 3; Junior Rotarian 4. Many of the underclassmen who plan to participate in football next fall will miss the familiar ear with yellow wheels in which Gizmo transported the players to the “Dust Bowl.” Like most of our local boys, he was drawn to Springfield once or twice, but the home town talent always seems to bring him back. We often wonder how his poor old car stands up under a load of 1(1 kids. Like Gizmo, it must have a lot of patience. We all agree you’re going places and 75 kids can’t be wrong! WILLIAM WALLACE GROUT, JR. Civic Bill 1 must complain the cards are ill-shuffled, 'til I have a good hand. Freshman Basketball 1; J. V. Football 1. 2; J. V. Basketball 1.2, 3; J. V. Baseball 1, 2; Varsity Football 3, 4; Varsity Basketball 4; Varsity Baseball 3; Spotlight Club 1; Science Club 1; Junior Rotarian 4. Who’s the smiling face coming down the hall? Right the first time— Billy Grout! He’s been a staunch supporter of our football and basketball teams, holding down the position of guard in both sports. Bill’s big problem stems from not owning a car. Ten miles is a long way to walk,—and all for a girl!! His big ambition is-------? Well, Bill, what is it? Keep ’em smiling. Bill, and we can guarantee you’ll knock ’em «lead! WORDEN FRANK HALE, JR. College Preparatory Shorty Little strokes fell great oaks. Band 1, 2. 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Special Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Spotlight Club 2, 3, 4; Christmas Pageant 3; Junior Rotarian 4. That quiet boy from Bartonsville is none other than Wor«len. The saying, “Big things come in small packages,” certainly holds true. We have seen Worden in many of the musicals «luring the past four years. Being quiet, he «loesn’t tell us about his love life, but one never knows. One of his biggest outside activities is the 4-II. He took several trips to Burlington anti the Eastern States Exposition. He is, as yet, undecided what he would like to do after graduation, but, with his ambition, he’s bound to make the grade in whatever he chooses.
