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.

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.

LESTER DENNING North Park Street “Denny” Franklin Lester was one of the members of the business group of our class. Although he was quiet, and not so well known as some, he was a good friend to all. Lester w T as particularly interested in athletics, and went out for football, baseball, and track. He also played well in the interclass basketball games. We are not sure just what Lester is planning to do, but we know that he will go about it in his own quiet way and come out successful. Lester may not tell everything that he is going to do, but we know that he will accowmlish a lot. Football 3, 4; Baseball 2, 3, 4; Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Interclass Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. ANTHONY D’ANIELLO Howard Street “Tony” Franklin “Full of wit and humor.” “Tony” was one more of the honorable class of ’29 who saw service on the champion Basketball Team. We know that there is no sense in our asking “Tony” who has his little gold basketball, for that goes without saving. When we did see “Tony,” which w r asn ' t very often, he always seemed to be verv much occupied. He was always wearing a grin, and we wondered curiously among ourselves if “grin” were catch¬ ing, as his side-partner was noted for “Its” grin. He plans to enter college next year, and although he isn’t certain which one it will be, we know that he will succeed.

MARY FICCO Alpine Place “Mary” Franklin “Her face was always wreathed in smiles.” Who is the girl with the laughing brown eyes? Why, that’s Mary, of course! Did anyone ever see Mary when she wasn’t smiling? I don ' t believe that anyone ever did. Although she may appear quiet, to those who know her, she is certainly merry enough. In basketball Mary was one of the Seniors who played on the team. She always played a fine game, and although the team suffered several defeats it was through no fault of Mary’s. We are uncertain just what Mary’s intentions are for the future, but we wish her the best of luck. Interclass Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club. [ 28 ]
