The Boulder ]949 CARL EDWARD ABLETT Bashjulness is an ornament to youth. Eddie is one of those bashful senior boys. He comes from Shirley Center. Eddie does very well in his school work and his name is always on the honor roll. Like quite a few others, he is interested in stamp collecting and has many interesting and valu- able specimens in his collection. Eddie would like to join the air force after graduation. Happy landings, Ed! FRANCES RUTH ADAMS Kind and quiet and always neat, She'll find friends in all she meets. Although Fran is rather shy in the classroom she is really a very gay and lively girl. Her merry smile and happy greetings are responsible for her many friends. One can always count on her to have a good time. Fran is an ardent sports fan being principally interested in swimming. She is always willing to lend a helping hand. R ALPH GWYNNE ADAMS His good humor overcomes all obstacles. Bud can always be identified by his flashy neckties. He is one of the few boys who now wear them all the time and so he takes advantage of the fact. Bud has a nice line of chatter and with it he can persuade any one to do just what he wants. He can also be seen driving his sporty Ford or the family's new Mercury. If you ask him, he will give you a ride. Band 2. FRANKLIN CHARLES ALARIO The world belongs to the energetic. Babe, as he is called by his friends, may be seen working at Brockelman's store at almost any time of the day. He is an ardent sports fan, baseball being the favorite. Babe plans to continue his education after graduation. Band 2; Orchestra 2. 14

Eddie, our class treasurer, is a part-timer who works in the school bank. His great popularity is due to the quiet, amiable manner by which he succeeds in making friends. Eddie is also very popular with girls; maybe one of the reasons for this is his excellent dancing. One of the finest saxophone players in the school, he has demonstrated his ability for us at many school functions. Being sports-minded, Eddie plays basketball in a league at the Y . He also ran for us in the junior-senior relay. The Navy is the course which Eddie will chart after graduation. Band 2, 3; Home Room Representative 2; Junior-Senior Relay 3, 4; Orchestra 2, 3. 13
