MARION BARTLETT Franklin, Mass. Marion was one of the quiet people of our class, but even though she was quiet she always saw the funny side of things. Marion was one of the hard-working General Course girls. She excelled in sewing and cooking. The dresses she made al¬ ways were sew r ed to perfection, to say nothing of being good looking. What a good house-wife Marion will make some one! Marion always took part in our inter-class track meets and her good work helped us out a lot even though we can ' t boast of winning. We hope Marion w r ill have a happy career—we wish her lots of luck for whatever she undertakes. Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Track. JOHN CLAPP Union Street “Johnny” Franklin “A Smile for each—A Friend for all.” Johnny entered High School in our class and has proven worthy of his station all along. During his High School career he has led the track team for four years. If he was not always cap¬ tain he was high scorer. Johnny also has played basketball for three years. His last year was broken up because of injuries to his foot. During our Junior year he held the office of Treasurer at the removal of Richard Lynn from town. After graduation he intends to go to school at Mercersburg, and as this school spon¬ sors track we believe Johnny will sail right through to success, for which he has our best wishes.

MADELEINE CLARK School Street “Mad” Franklin, Mass. ‘‘Laugh and the World Laughs With You.” This holds true for “Mad” because the whole class always laughs with “Mad” when she bursts out “all of a sudden.” “Mad” not only furnished laughter for the class but furnished her brains for the intellectual side of it. She never went out for Athletics much, but always a “Good Sport” in all the track meets, taking her part in the bag race and the three legged race. “Mad” may be a fortune teller, a teacher, or a director’s as¬ sistant of a jazz orchestra. Who knows? Whatever field you do try, “Mad,” we wish you loads of luck.

ROBERT FRANCIS BOURBEAU Chestnut Street “Red” Franklin “Look for the Woman.” There’s no need to introduce “Red” as lie ' s so well known. You could easily distinguish Robert by his red hair, and the fact that he towered above everyone else. “Red” w : as especially pop¬ ular with the opposite sex, and he was continually writing letters to his fair friends. “Red” was also one of those “Athletic boys.” He played on the basketball team with great success. We don’t know what we’d have done without “Red” as our center. “Red was also a mem¬ ber of the football team and did his share in winning games. We hope “Red” will be as successful in life as he was in making the basketball and football team. “Oskev” Financial Committee: Basketball 2, 3, 4; Football 3, 4; Baseball 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Band (Drum Major) 2, 3, 4; Interclass Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee; Dra¬ matics 3. FLORENCE WILLIAMS BAKER “Flossy” Franklin, Mass. “Speech is silver, Silence gold.” Quiet and demure, yet full of fun is “Flossy.” For four years she has “stood by,” a loyal and loving classmate. Always ready and willing to lend a helping hand to classmates in distress ; such will be the memories of Flossy.” There is a rumor that she plans to attend a Business College and it seems quite probable, for Florence is an able business scholar. She may be considered as one of the best all round pals, for she has a true heart and makes a true companion. In her four years at Franklin High School she has won many friends and we are sure she will continue the same way throughout her life. Track 2. PHILIP NICHOLAS BAIONA Lincoln Street “Phil” Franklin “Dancing the whole night long.” “Phil” didn’t enter our ranks until our Sophomore year, but he soon became popular, as shown by the fact that he was elected Vice-President of our class the Junior Year. He was always ready to lend a helping hand, and when there was work to be done he was right there. His favorite pastime was dancing and singing, and perhaps he’ll be with Ziegfeld some day! Who knows? Every Friday “Phil” rushed for the 2:17 train for Boston. We wondered what the attraction was. Philip expects to go to Fitch¬ burg Normal, and become a teacher. We’re wishing him the best of luck for one of the “Best!” Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee; Football 3, 4; Dramatics 4; Prize Speaking 4; “Oskey” Financial Committee; Ring Committee 4.

LLOYD CRANDALL Oak Street “Junk” Franklin “Good things come in small packages.” Although Lloyd is a small man he has done very well in sports. In football he brought down men much larger than himself. In basketball he played on the second team and was one of the lead¬ ing “basket hangers.” Lloyd is also a good long-distance runner. While on the track team he placed in some meets in the mile event. Baseball is the sport that “Junk” is best in. He plays shortstop on the team and allows very few halls to go by him. “Junk” is a perfect example of what a good little man can do in sports!

PERSIS CROWELL Maple Street “Perry” “Pers” Franklin “Thou hast so much wit and humor about thee.” “Pers” was alw-ays one of the most popular member s of our class. She was noted for her smile (grin) and her peals of laugh¬ ter. As she looked always on the bright side of life, being able to find a joke in everything, we found our classes to be incomplete without our “Pers.” “Perry’s” ability in athletics was like her laughter, always showing up on the most unexpected occasions. All through our high school days Perry’s home was a general hangout for all “gangs” of the school and many are the happy hours which have been enjoyed there at “Pers’ ” expense. We’re all with you. Pers, when you enter “Prep” School next year and we warn you not to put “too much Pep into Prep school.” Oskey” Editorial Staff; Orchestra 1, 2; Junior Prom Com¬ mittee; Freshman Acquaintance Committee; Lit Club; Glee Club 4; Dramatics 1, 3, 4; Shakespearean Club 2; Interclass Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Hockey 3; Interclass Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 4. LINCOLN DANA Crescent Street “Line” Franklin “We are the music makers.” Lincoln is a good-natured fellow and is very popular with his classmates. He is one of the best drummers in the school and plays in both the orchestra and band. He is a fast basketball player and has played in interclass basketball and on the second team. Track is another sport that “Line” has taken part in. He is a good high-jumper and has won places in meets against other high schools and in interclass track meets. Lincoln wants to be a pharmacist and is going to prepare for this profession at Mass¬ achusetts Pharmaceutical College.
