LAWRENCE A. D’AGOSTINO “Doug Larry is very close to the top in terms of popularity. He excels in football, and barring accidents, he should keep right on gaining recognition in that particular field. During the ’46 season, he was voted a position on the Bristol County All-Star eleven, the only member of our team to attain that distinction. A pleasing personality, a friendly attitude, and frequent guffaws that resound far and wide, are other characteristics. The girls term his dancing expert. Since Larry rates high scholastically, we visualize naught but suecess in his chosen aim at an engineering degree.

ROBERT M. DELONG “Bob” Versatile and outstanding in athletics is Bob, the captain of our football team. He is invaluable on dance committees, and he displays a certain ingenuity in the art of decoration. Tall, dark and handsome, he is regularly seen on the dance floor at Saturday night hops. Friendliness and a lively sense of humor con- tribute to make Bob one of our most popular boys. His scholastic brilliance has been such that we foresee no serious obstacle in his studies of veterinary medicine at Massachusetts State College.

Ay BE LYDON TAIN “Shortie” Many people opine that Betty is the ideal representation of a serious mein. Those who support that view have seen her only when deeply engrossed in work or thought. The many of us who have associated with her in recrea- tional activities had no difficulty discovering the gay blade she really is. Her popularity with teachers and companions is thereby justified. Pastimes include books, Bette Davis’ movies, and Ink Spot records. She is also sports-minded, and contributes greatly to social events. Diligence and dependability spell her future prosperity.

ROBER DG. COOPER —BOod Bob has no monopoly on blushes, but h e could provide excellent competition for the title of the shyest male in the class. Notwithstanding his natural quiet, he re- veals a joyous personality practically all the time. He can boast with cause about his many friends since they do exist in numbers. Enmities, if any, are probably in- spired by jealousy of his curly hair. Bob excels in many sports and there is never a give up sign in his fight for victory. He is a Hercules’ conquest, and efforts promise chemical engineering.

Peggy is ever on hand when a gay time looms nigh, which does not alter the fact that she gives generously of her time and labor to make events and activities successful. She enjoys dancing and rollerskating, and, believe it or not, but take heed ye hearty males, she is an especially good cook. Judging from her yesterdays, we feel justified in proclaiming her a positive success in the coming years. A.A. 2, 3; Usher, Reception; Thanksgiving Dance Com- mittee 4; Program, Class Play. ROSES), (DOMEILE “Oozie’ Rose impresses you as an exceedingly quiet and re- served person. But a c.oser association with her, and a deeper knowledge of her character, reveals her as a most amiable and gay companion. She can be well commended for her ability to get along. An excellent typist, her fly- ing fingers make short work of any task, (and her talent in that line has proved an asset for many a school pro- ject). Her favorite leisure moments are those which in- clude bowling or dancing. All in all, a serene sky is predicted for Rose’s personal and business worlds.

ROBERTS eDOYLE “Bobby” This gentleman joined the group in his Junior year and the class funmeter immediately scooted up many degrees. Comedy and laughter are definite objectives in Bob’s life, and his ready wit often keeps his listeners in stitches. His approach to problems is direct, as he promptly chal- lenges that which is not readily seen. Such frankness is usually synonym with s uccess. In basketball, his speed and accuracy counteract the disadvantage of his short stature, while he is considered quite the player in base- ball. As seems most natural, he hopes to emulate and surpass the efforts of Hope, Allen and Benny.

G, RICHARD EMERY “Dick” Here we present one of the quietest persons of the ’47 clan. Unassuming, even-voiced, rather bashful, he travels on his merry way, with greater attention to the business on hand than to the various distractions that beckon in the course of a busy day. Believe it or not, his main hobby consists of studies and reading that supplement his class work, with a stress on math and sciences. He did labor on model cars for a while until his main tasks deprived him of free time. He has visions of college and engineering, and promises enduring efforts to make his dreams come true.

ADAIR ENMAN “Peanut” Adair appears geared in high practically a'l the time, judging from her liveliness and speed. And with her merry laugh ever ringing true and wide, we unhesitatingly proclaim her one of the jolliest among us. Where expert lez work is concerned, this bundle of atomic energy moves very much at ease; to wit, the jive or waltz of the dance floor, or the sprinting and springing of the basketball court. Taunton beckons in spare hours, and if rumors mean truth, she is said to have good cause. She shall be some lucky somebody’s private secretary someday.
