Although to the passing observer Fran appears very reserved. she is known to be full of fun. She is an active participant in all sport and a veritable Sonja Hcnic on roller skates on which she practices on any free night. We understand Cranford has its attractions. We're sure nursing is the career for Fran. Fit , our perennial high school student, is one of the props of both the football and swimming teams when he'-- eligible.
