So far, she has been able to uphold the Blaisdell standard and her future should be colorful and most inter¬ esting. Born in Boston, Mass., February 2, 1921.

BOLIVAR “CARL” Carleton is very quiet in school, but those who know him well agree that he certainly can hold his own in any “rag-chew” outside, for he can talk well about almost any subject. Aside from his in¬ terests in drawing, nature, and mystery stories, his real ambition is to be an engineer in planning and constructing great networks of over-head, one¬ way, super-highways all over the country. We can think of little that can stop him. Born in Dayspring, Nova Scotia, May 24, 1920. Activities: Track Team ’37. Hobbies: Nature Collections. Ambition: To become consultant civil engineer.
