VIRGINIA CECELIA BIANCHINI 21 Corbin Street Franklin “GINNY” “NINA” “Serious, yet with smiles, and gay yet earnest too.’’ Upon first acquaintance Virginia seemed to be a timid sort of person, but as time went on we found we had been mistaken. She can take a joke as well as give one. We have found Virginia to be cheerful, modest, steadfast, and effi¬ cient in everything she does. Her ambition is to attend Wilfred Acad¬ emy. Best o’ luck, Virginia: we know your wonderful characteristics will lead you to the heights of success. Dramatics 4. Dramatic Club 4. French Club 3. Blue and White 2, 3, 4.

She is one of the carefree members of our class who doesn ' t seem to worry or get excited about anything, no matter what happens. She is well-liked and has many friends. All in all. Rose is a swell girl whose “days to come” are sure to be filled with happiness. Public Speaking Club 4. WILLIAM EZRA BLANCHARD, JR. 80 Dean Avenue Franklin “BILL” “SONNY” “For he ' s a jolly good fellow.” “Bill is a very good-natured fellow with a pleasant grin and a quiet voice. His musical ability is shown by his support of the band during all of his four years in high school. He has a tendancy toward things electrical, so if you want an electrician, call on “Bill.” He was the official school lighting expert at many of the plays and at the Oskey Show. When he leaves high school, he intends to take up television. With his likeable manner and his easy way of meeting and talking to people, we know that “Bill will go far in his chosen field.

No one gets a chance to feel lonely or blue when “Bette” is around, and her many friends appreciate her jovial manner. “Bette’’ is one of the tallest members of our class. We are sure her desire for success will be fulfilled. Marshal 2. Blue and White 2, 3, 4. Hallowe’en Committee 1, 2. Commercial Club 4. Home Economics Club 1, 2. Etiquette Club 4.

We know that “Nat ' s” ambition is to be a great artist, and we can truthfully say from experience she will be a success. Good Luck, Natalie. Blue and White 4. Hallowe’en Committee 2. 4.

CAPALDO 376 Union Street Franklin “BUDGE” “Here is a boy with a ready smile; A friendship with him is very worthwhile . ” Here’s ‘ Budge’’ — the envy of all the girls because of his sparkling teeth and pleasant smile. Biagio certainly made friends while in school and has won his place in the hearts of all his classmates. He has had to put up with quite a bit of teasing from everyone, but his good disposition always kept him on pleasant terms. Good Luck, “Budge.” Hallowe’en Committee 1, 2, 3, 4. Alumni Dance 4.

CARL ARCHER CARLSON 81 Union Street Franklin “BUD” “Shy at first, slight in talk, but strong in deed.’’ Ordinarily quiet and serious, Bud is a master of humor of the slapstick variety. He is not a ladies’ man, but is well liked by the boys (and the girls, too, although he won’t admit it.) Although he never went out for any sports in High School, Carl is a great sports fan. Carl is interested in airplanes and is thinking of becoming an air¬ plane designer. In this field we know he’ll prove that he’s got what it takes. Good luck, “Bud.’’ Dramatics 3. Band 1.
