Business Manager Sampler 4; Class Treas- urer 1; Cafeteria 1; Monitor 4; Librarian 4. Tis said that this merry young lady would rather dance than eat. Cute, blue-eyed Nan is a friend of everyone. She is always on the go. Her future seems to be all planned out for her; Sully is the lucky guy. Vivacious Nancy has added life and gayety to our class with her ability to find humor in even the dullest situation. As a student and as a friend she has proved herself tops. WILMA ANN GOLEC General Wil “ Her voice was ever soft, gentle, and low — an excellent thing in women Basketball 1, 2, 3; Special Glee Club 2, 3; Home Ec. Club 2; Sopho- more Dance 2; Home Ec. Award 3. Meet Wilma, one of the tallest, most attractive Senior girls, who al- ways has something to do. She is a very smart girl, but a very quiet one. She is now employed by the New England Tel.

Phil has a bright smile and a cheery hellS for everyone. He is a boy with bubbling humor, who seems to have an answer for all questions that arise. His great temptation is to play innocent. Phil plans to go to Nor- wich next year ; with a sense of humor in his comments, he will surely keep his classmates in good spirits. All his ambitions should lead to success. BETTY JANE GROUT College Betty Silence is the unbearable repartee Cafeteria 1, 4. Betty’s the girl with brains, looks and charm. Although she’s small and quiet, her blonde hair and blue eyes manage to make people give her that second look. How she ever can keep the fellows at bay is beyond us. We don’t see much of her; perhaps it’s because she travels ten miles every- day just to come to school. Athens won’t be the same next year when Betty goes to Burlington to find that young, good-looking millionaire. Good luck to you. Richie J. V. Basketball 1, 2; Varsity Basketball 3, 4; J. V.

Besides his sense of humor and friendliness, he has starred on both the football field and basketball floor. Richie’s motto is, “A good time at any cost.” Sports, fun, and women is the daily routine for Richie. Here’s to you Richie; great times are ahead. 4 3 V RICHARD ALLEN HALLADAY Civic A good time at any cost mark.

B. 1, 3, Vice President 4; Junior High Tournament 4. Butch has been popular in sports, as well as with all the girls, during his school years. He is one of the wittiest boys of the class, always coming up with a wise-crack. If you don't believe us, ask Mr. Sanders. Eugene wants to join the Navy before the draft board gets him into the Army. Best of luck in whatever you do, Butch, and, if you join the Navy, they’re getting a swell guy. OLGA GLORIA FREDERICK College Olga If thou thinkest twice before thou speakest once, thou wilt speak twice the better for it. This dark-haired gal from Westminster is the envy of all the girls with the “problem hair.” She is always wearing a smile; anyone who can’t get along with this good-natured gal just can’t get along with anyone. Her favorite Friday night pastime is square dancing in Charlestown. Why? Well, let’s ask Olga! She hasn’t really decided what her career will be after graduation, but her sweet personality will be an asset in anything she attempts. May the future years hold the best of everything for you. K LOIS DIANE FREIHOFER Commercial Lois In every cloud is an angel's face. Lois is truly a very wonderful person. Her competence and charm is evident in whatever she undertakes, and her undertakings are numerous. Never an idle hour for Lois! She is one of the most accomplished amateur pianists in Bellows Falls. Her artistic ability also merits a good deal of praise. Lois is always eager to lend a helping hand wherever she can assist. With her fine qualities and gentle manner, she has a promising future. ROBERTA MAE GARFIELD Commercial Peg God delights in true, earnest thinking. Senior Sampler 4. Such a small girl, yet she can accomplish as much in a day as anyone. Coming from Keene, Peg was a wonderful addition to our class in our Junior year. Her outside pleasure is dancing, especially when it is in Charlestown. How she can keep her hair so neat is a question many of us would like to have answered. Peggy seems so quiet until you get to know her. She has a friendly smile and a helping hand for everyone.

CHARLES EDWARD HAMEL College Charlie Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere. Latin Club 2, 3; Spotlight Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Sophomore Dance 2; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Football Formal 4; Hi! Schooler 1, 2, 3. 4: Play Nite .4; Senior Play 4; Home Room Treasurer 1; American Scholastic Art Awards Contest 4. Charlie is that good-natured boy who has done more than his share of work in decorating for the formals. There is a lot of talent in those hands! He seems shy, mysterious, and bashful, but, when you get to know him, he’s quite the opposite. Sometime in the future you’ll see Charlie’s name in headlines as a successful and established artist. JAMES THOMAS HARTY, Jr. College Jimmy “ will succeed though the way be hard. J V. Football 1; Special Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; All-State Chorus 1; N. E. Music Festival 1. 2. 3. 4; Spotlight Club 3, 4; Play Nite 3; Senior Play 4; Sophomore Party 2; Junior Party 3; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Football Formal 4 ; Class President 2. 3, 4, Vice President 1; Xmas Pageant 1, 2, 3. 4; Spring Cone. 1, 2, 3, 4; Boys’ State 3; Monitor 4. If you don’t believe Jimmy is one of the class leaders, ask him, and ask him where he comes from. He is proud of the fact that he comes from that industrial city across the river, North Walpole. Class President, part- time job, and Special Glee Club keep him busy. He is a fun-seeking guy, who doesn't mind spending four or five hours finding it. Pleasing personal- ity and nice appearance assure him of success. GERTRUDE ANN HAWKS Civic Ann “ Your greatest contribution to the sum total of things is uourself.” Basketball 1. 2. 3. 4; Tennis 1. 2. 3, 4; Softball 1, 2. 3. 4; Home Ec.

That wasn’t “Superman”; it was Ann with a last minute warning for the closing report. Those who don’t know her may think she is quiet,—but —when you know her! Like all the crew from Center Street, she is an excellent athlete, and has given the teams a big boost. Her spare time is spent on her hobbies, but what hobbies!! Congratulations on the work in 4-H. The teaching profession will be proud of you. RALPH ALWYN HODGKINS General Ralph It seems to make an auto driver mad if he misses you. Glee Club 1. If you see a ’34 Ford with a gang of kids in it, the safest thing for you to do is head for the ditch; it may be Ralph. On the whole he is a pretty good driver, but it’s just that he’s in what seems like a terrible hurry. Although he’s not seen much in company of the fairer sex, we wonder about some of his out-of-town trips. What’s the story, Ralph? You’ve really added a lot to our classes these past four years and we hope the future holds nothing but success and happiness for you. JAMES GERALD HOGAN College Jerry All the devils aren't in hell; some are here. J. V. Football 2; Sophomore Party 2; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Freshman Reception 4; Football Formal 4; Senior Play 4; Homeroom Vice President 3; Monitor 4. . The boy who carries the most weight in the Senior Class,—physical weight. With his wit and personality, classes were never dead. No, he isn’t just our class comedian; he-has a lot of intelligence, too. With all the time he spends at the B. F. Times Office, don’t be surprised to see editorials by him in the near future. A good monitor, no one dared cross his path. How will Miss Brown get along without Jerry’s witty remarks? He has all the qualities of success.
