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

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 EDWARD BRIAN HARTY Ed The only people in the world are the Irish and those who wish they were.” Home Room President 2; junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Junior High Tournament Asst. Director 3, Director 4; Football Formal 4. Ed is the tall rugged-looking fellow who comes from North Walpole and is proud of it. He really did a swell job manag- ing the Junior High Tournament this year. We always find him walking around the halls. Do classes bore you, Ed? Just to be different, Ed often wears two shirts and they usually clash. He plans to join the Air Force next year. They’ll get a good man. HOWARD EDWARD HASKELL Cy A woman is only a woman, hut a good cigar is a smoke.” Christmas Pageant 2; Cafeteria Cashier 3; Spotlight Club 3, 4; Senior Play 4. Howard is the lad from Davidson Hill who had us rolling in the aisles with his performance of Cy in “The Eve of St. Mark.” Don’t try to pick a fight with him; he’s very good- natured, but quite strong from his frequent trips up and down the aforementioned Davidson Hill. He used to be an active Boy Scout, but lately has found other things to do. Montreal and its bright lights gave him quite a gay time when he visited them. HELEN ANNETTE HOLLAR Helen The busy bee has no lime for sorrow.” Class Vice Pres. 1, Sec. 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Soft- ball 1, 2, 3, 4; S. A. B. 2, Sec. 3, 4; Tennis 2, 3, 4; Sp. Glee Club 2, 3, Treas. 4- Off. Asst. 2, 3, 4; Mon. 3, Lt. 4; Badmin- ton Medal 3; Jr. Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Girls’ State 3; Xmas Cantata 3, 4; School State Aud. Accts. 3; Vt. Mus. Fes. 4; Fresh. Recep. 4; Football Formal 4; Hi! Schooler 4; D. A. R. Good Cit. Award 4; Sr. Play Bus. Mgr. 4; Jr. Ro- tarian 4; J. H. Tourn. 4; A. A. Treas. 4. Here’s to the girl with the staggering pile of books who always has a dazzling smile for everyone. Although Helen is a very busy girl, she manages to take a leading role in every- thing she does. Her willingness to accept responsibility has made her popular among the members of her class and in the school. AUDREY RUTH HOTCHKISS Audrey I care for no one—no, not I.” Softball 2, 3, 4; “The Eve of St. Mark” 4. After living on top of Fisher Hill, in Grafton, a couple of years, Audrey moved to town, and only a stone’s throw from school. A carefree girl, with a stride all her own, she has square-dancing in her blood and a love of reading in her head. Miss Blood remembers her for small favors well done in the office. In the spring, she turns to the softball field. She has quite a habit of borrowing things. Audrey, where’s that comb I lent you two weeks ago? 14
