ABBIE E. FERGUSON “Abbie” Titian-haired Abbie is a person of prodigious energy and spirit. She graciously shares her many talents as can be seen by her fine work on the Yearbook Board, and various other activities of the class. Her diligence in her studies merits her the title of an exceptional scholar. In her out-of-school hours, Abbie’s favorite pastimes are; basketball, enjoying good music and bowling. After graduation, she plans to launch a secretarial career by attending Katherine Gibbs School. A.A. 2, 3, 4; Softball Manager 3; Math Club 3; New Century Club; Yearbook Board; Class Play Cast “Kate Ault’; Usher, Reception. ROSE, C3 HIORg: “Rosie” Cheerfulness and cooperation are two distinctive notes of harmony in Rosie’s busy life, and any task undertaken is completed with thoroughness and determination. Side- lines in her existence include collecting picture postcards and listening to good records. Her friends are many, due mostly to a definite ability in promoting topics of fun and interest. The crystal ball reflects for her a school of modern design at some time in the future; and teachers and friends agree that she owns the qualities sufficient to perform with success. A.A. 2, 3, 4: Pan-American Club 3; Reception, Decorat- ing; Archery 3; Math Club 3; Class Play, Usher. FRANCES C. FORNACIARI “Franny” Sparkling eyes, gay laughter and a rather elflike demeanor are all very much personal property to Franny. Her companions say she has never changed, and she has been making people happy around here for years, a fact that has won her numerous friendships. Many tes ts have shown her ready and willing to help in the promotion of social events and her inclusion on a committee means plenty more than merely a name on paper. Her energetic inclinations spend themselves wonderfully well as a guard in basketball. Her preparation is for secretarial service and we rest assured that her efficiency will more than satisfy her employer.

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. Basketball 3, 4; Pan-American Club 3; Math Club 3; Reception, Music 3; Thanksgiving Dance Committee 4; Baseball 3, 4; Science Club 3; A.A. 3, 4; Glee Club 4; Class Play, General Chairman. 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. Basketball 2, 3; Math Club 3; Checking, Reception 3; Thanksgiving Dance Committee 4; A.A. 2, 3, 4; Science Club 3; Yearbook Board; Class Play, Publicity 4. A. 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.

ERNEST J. FOURNIER “Ernie” Here, we proudly present one of the most staid char- acters of the class. Unassuming in his ways, even- tempered in deportment, he pursues his life’s goal in silence and dignity. Not given to excessive babble, his opinions become a rare treat and reveal both a keen perception of truth and a witty personality. An ardent sportsman, he bowls and skates at every opportunity, while basketball and track were his favorites at school. Though still coping with uncertainty as to his future, we hold no fear of failure concerning his days to come. Track 2; Basketball 3, 4; Class Play, Program 4; A.A. 2, 3, 4; Reception, Decorating 3. JEAN R. GALANTE “Jeannie” Attractive Jeannie is the possessor of many fine qualities. She is a happy, laughing girl with a keen sense of humor. Swimming, skating, bowling, and basketball, she lists as her favorite sports, and billiards her hobby. Considering these interests, it is easy to guess her future plans. She wants to specialize in physical education. Incidentally, did you know that Jeannie is a culinary artist? Softball 2, 4; Reception, Usher 3; A.A. 2, 3, 4; Class Play, Co-Chairman of the Stage and Properties. ANNE GALLIPEAU “Galley” Quietness, geniality, humor are only a few of the qualities apparent in Anne. Her eyes seem to reflect a perpetual smile, which we duly translate as a sure demon- stration of internal contentment. Loyal and true, she puts a high value on friendship. She plays basketball, enjoys swimming and bowling, and the ivories of the piano are no puzzle to her. She looks forward to becom- ing a medical secretary.
