1949_Bulldog

**__Hand-carved Wooden Bulldog__**

> || = ="Mason" was an actual bulldog. One of the members of our class was followed to school each day by a bulldog. According to the 1949 yearbook (page 32), his name was "Driver" Smith. The class is pleased that their gift, Mason, attends graduation. The gift's namesake (the dog, "Driver) was such a friendly old thing, and very sociable. The Class of 1949 feels that the real bulldog "Driver" would like that he's involved in such social events. Nancy Lenihan Milligan, Class of '49 (in an email dated 6/18/2007) = ||  ||
