He graduated f rom the structural ' engineering courses at the Franklin i Foundation and at Lowell Institute, M. ; I. T. A couple of years with Stone i Webster in the drafting division intro- ' duced him to his present job with the ' B. M. E. E. desiging and drafting i steel bridges and he intends to stick to , structural engineering. Hope he takes i the flat wheels off the cars, too. He’s j engaged to Miss Bernice Doucette of | Heading. It happened in May, 1929, so j guess Johnny is all set for the rest of his life. Francis Eafferty, 20 Wright Street, is also a plumber.

He spent four years at Dartmouth to get a B. S. degree but he really didn’t need it for he made good on the road with his ability as it was demonstrated in the Webster Debating Society of old. Florence Kelly also has done espec- ially well. She took the preliminary hospital course at Simmons College 1924-25 and then trained at N. E. Dea- coness Hospital of Boston for three years. In 1923 she was appointed su- pervisor there, a very responsible posi- tion, and then followed her folks south to do private nursing in North Carolina and Florida.

A. work nights, construction work and excavation work. He’s now an engineer and expects to go into con- tracting with his father in New York. Katherine Owen, 114 Summer Street, is a secretary.
