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.

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.

Rose is a swell girl whose “days to come” are sure to be filled with happiness. Public Speaking Club 4.

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.

ROBERT RICHARD CATALANO 14 King Street Franklin “BOBBY” “A kinder friend has no man.’’ Bobby,” with his smile and easy-going way, was well known throughout the school. He was manager of the football team, and worked very hard and industriously for the school in that respect. Mr. Colbert is going to miss him. Bob” always has a well-kept look about him, and it ' s a wonder he wasn ' t bothered by the opposite sex. He never made any disturb¬ ance about the school, so it seems that he saved all the energy he had for advancement. Let’s hope this is so. Marshal 1, 2. Basketball Manager 1, 2.
