The Boulder ]949 MARILYN LOIS ALDRICH As merry as the day is long. Marilyn known as Ollie is one of our happy-go-lucky classmates from West Fitchburg. She has a wonderful smile and her dimples are the envy of everyone. We understand that she is an enthusiastic sports fan and during the winter can usually be found out in her backyard practicing the latest methods. RITA MARY ALLEN She could dance the whole night through. Rita, a girl who possesses an attractive personality and cheery smile, enjoys dancing and has become quite successful at it. In the fall she plans to enter the New England School of Business Science to take up accounting. We wish her success in the future. Basketball 2, 3 ; Dramatic Club 2 ; Volleyball 2, 3, 4. ROWENA JANE ALLEN Full of mischief, a jolly good sport. Jane, a popular, light-haired miss, is a real lover of horses. She has two horses of her own and spends much of her time with them. Being a confirmed movie fan, Jane attends every movie that she possibly can, especially ones with fencing in them. Jane enjoys flying and has taken many trips aloft with friends of hers. After graduation she would like to become an airline hostess.

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

The Boulder ]949 MARGUERITE MAY AMBI.O Breezy and jolly is she always. A true friend and a conscientious student, Marguerite is always good natured and ready to help anyone in need. The lovely red cheeks and the sweet voice of Marguerite are really something to see and hear. Her favorite sport is skiing and, of course, she excels in it as she does in everything she attempts. Marguerite plans to go to college and to become an airline hostess. Dramatic Club 2; Glee Club 2. NANCY EMILY ANDERSON You can't beat me for all-around cheeriness. A girl who never hurries describes Nan to the letter. She may always be seen sauntering slowly down the corridor. She has merry blue eyes that twinkle mischievously when she smiles. Her favorite pastime is waiting outside a classroom until the last bell has rung. Glee Club 2, 3; Volleyball 2. JAMES ANGELOS The life of all classes, and the death of all teachers. Make, as he is better known to everyone, is truly what his quotation says. He is continually laughing and joking with some- one and usually succeeds in making his companion laugh too. His efforts as a cheerleader for the past four years have made us more lively and peppy at all of our athletic contests. One of his famous sayings is What a boner I just pulled. He can be recognized by his crop of black hair and dashing walk. Make is so small he has to take two steps before he moves.
