THE SAMPLER RICHARD HASKELL DAMON Steve “Quiet mind in a loud world.” Spotlight Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Christmas Pageant 2; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Tennis 3, 4. Short, dark, curly-haired, Steve is never without a twinkle in his eye. His favorite hangout before school starts is the railing over the foyer with his buddies from Gageville. Tennis is one of his favorite sports. He often “whales away” at the playground courts, and is one of Mr. Sprague’s most dependable racketeers. After graduation he plans to go to the Vermont State School of Agriculture. VIRGINIA ANN DONZELLO Virginia “All are merry that dance lightly.” Softball 1, 2; Home Room Sec. 2; Spotlight Club 4; Cafeteria 4. Virginia is that short, brown-eyed, honey blonde with a flashing smile. You can always count on a good time with Virginia. Her fun-loving personality will always keep you laughing. Talking seems to be one of her main joys in life. She likes to dance, and does it so well that, if she tried hard, she could probably dance The Thinker right off his stony seat. We don’t see how she finds time to listen to her fine record collection, since lonely hours must be rare to a girl with sparkle like hers. VIRGINIA MARY DOWLIN “A helping hand, ready at your call.” Special Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; All-State Music Festival 1, 4, All-N. E. 4; Home Ec. Club 1, 2; Jr. Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Spotlight Club 4; Football Formal 4; Play-Nite 4; Hi! Schooler 4; “Eve of St. Mark” 4; Monitor 4. If you happen to be in the school some afternoon around four and see a brown-eyed Senior walking down the halls, you’ll know it’s Ginny, coming from typing. Ginny has been a great help to the Glee Club and many other activities. Whenever there is a job to be done, she will always volunteer. Even though she’s not an artist, she undertook the job as chairman of decoration for the Football Formal and really did a swell job. When graduation rolls around, we’ll be losing a swell classmate, but our loss is Castleton’s gain. Dave “No civilized person goes to bed the same day he gets up.” Football 3; Baseball 3. Dave bears a strong resemblance to John Hodiak of the movies, but Dave claims he doesn’t look like Hodiak; the actor resembles him. He has one of the more unusual jobs of our class, toting mail bags at the railroad station. He promises free passes to all his old classmates when he becomes president of the Boston Maine. 12

THE SAMPLER ISABEL MARY EUSHWAY Isabel “Many are called bui few gel up.” Home Ec. Club 1, 2; Librarian 3, 4; Spotlight Club 4; Football Formal 4; Cafeteria 1, 2, 4. Soft brown hair and a wide smile mark Isabel, another girl who shivers across the bridge, on her way to school, when the icy winds blow. You’ve surely seen her down in the cafe- teria, increasing the sales of ice cream by her efficient man- ner. With all her running around, she manages to keep pretty busy. Isabel will be remembered as a girl a friend could always depend on for help over a rough spot. DAVID EDWARD COSTIN Ace “Irish, but not green.” J. V. Basketball 1, 2, 3; Football Formal 4; Junior High Tournament 4. Ace is very quiet from 8:30-2:30, but, when school is out, look out! He is one of the class hell-drivers and has covered many miles on the open road behind the wheel of his father’s new two-tone Plymouth. He seems to have settled his affections on one pretty Sophomore. He hails from North Walpole and is quite proud of the fact. He is an avid Red Sox fan and goes around yapping about their prospects every spring and explaining their sad finishes every fall. His handsome face and winning manner have made him a friend to many of both sexes. ROBERT JAMES HALL COWAN Bob “The wheel that moves gathers no dust. Baseball 1; J. V. Football 1, 3, Varsity 4; Class President 2, 3, 4; S.A.B. 3, 4; Jr. Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Boys’ State 3; Football Formal 4; Freshman Reception 4; Chairman School State 4; Jr. Rotarian 4; Monitor 4. A truly active member of the Class of ’52, Bob has dis- played ingenuity and ambition in his leadership. How has he managed to keep his hair brown during the troubles he has had running our class the last three years? His love of antiques is shown by his series of horseless carriages. His trips to Ludlow wear them out fast. He has a special brand of humor all his own. Wherever he goes, he will make his influence felt. THOMAS ALBERT CURTIN Tombo “Smile and the world smiles with you.” Class Treas. 1; J. V. Football 1, 2, Varsity 4; Freshman Basketball 1, J. V. 2, 3; Home Room Vice Pres. 2, Sec. 3; Special Glee Club 2, 3; Xmas Pageant 3; Spotlight Club 3, 4; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; “Ghost Story” 3; Junior High Tournament 3, 4; Freshman Reception 4; Football Formal 4; Home Room Rep. 4; Vice Pres. A.A. 4. If there’s anything mischievous going on, you can be sure Tombo’s in on it. He sure has made life interesting for the Monitor force! His whimsical smile and jovial manner have made him a favorite with everyone. He is another one of the Senior boys who flicker the flashlights at the Opera House. After graduation, he hopes to become a Certified Public Accountant. ll

THE SAMPLER RICHARD HEATH FULLAM Dick “It is not good that man should be alone. Librarian 3; Junior Prom 3; Freshman Reception 4; Cafeteria Cashier 4. Dick is that efficient lad from Westminster who pounds the cash register in the cafeteria. He keeps his private life like a closet,—“Open the Door, Richard.” He drives a shiny black Pontiac to get to his female acquaintances in surrounding towns, especially Brattleboro. Dick’s father has enough apples in his orchard to keep the doctor away for centuries. His privilege of hunting deer year-round makes him the envy of his classmates. HARLAN IRVING FULLER Harlan “Silence is one art of conversation.” Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom 3; Interclass Skiing 4; Monitor 3, 4. Harlan is a boy of curly brown hair, broad shoulders, and few words. An enthusiastic skier, he captained the Seniors to victory in the Interclass Ski Meet. He is always working up some scheme for fun and frolic. Harlan has been a main stay of the track team ever since this sport was revived at B. F. H. S. He is another outdoor boy, fond of hunting and fishing, and can often be seen on the back roads with rod or gun. He’ll leave a space that will be hard to fill. HUGH EDGAR GOLDSMITH Goldie “Good nature is stronger than tomahawks.” Junior Prom 3; Football 3, 4; J. V. Basketball 3; Baseball 3, 4; Track 3, 4; Special Glee Club 3, Pres. 4; Monitor 4; Junior Rotarian 4. Goldie came to B. F. H. S. from V. A. for his Junior year and brought with him a large stock of football ability. Re- member the touchdown he made at Springfield? Not only is he good at football, but he is also one of Miss Bedell’s top tenors. If he has half as many friends later as he has now, he’ll never have a dull moment. Neither will his friends. ROBERT WILLIAM GREENOUGH Bob “The easiest thing to do in life is to live. Home Room Treasurer 1. Generous, good-natured, happy most of the time, Bob is an excellent person to have with you on any kind of a trip. He drives the black ’48 Chevy more than his folks do, quite often going to Walpole, or maybe to a drive-in. He is inter- ested in popular music and good movies. Presently em- ployed at Cray Chevrolet, he hopes to become an expert mechanic some day. 13
