BLANCHE EVANS General 405 Osborne Avenue Glee Club (3. 4). Blanche is the very attractive blond girl who is always smiling.

JANE FULLERTON College Preparatory 237 Sylvania Place Although for the past few months Jane has deserted us for Linden Hall, we still claim her as a member of our class. We remember her as an obliging, happy-go-lucky Jane tearing around corners in her big Auburn, or as a tall, slender, piquant Jane, with a marvelous ability to keep her small (very small) voice going continually. And thinking over Jane—well—she just couldn’t belong to any other school but Westfield High. We wouldn’t let her.
