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 ]

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.

RAYMOND FEELEY Depot Street “Ray” Franklin Smiles galore—Wit encore. Ray” helped our class to shine, especially in our Freshman year. He won the first prize in the Business Men’s contest. “Ray” is a fine fellow to have for a friend; he is a good sport, and is an outstanding figure in our class. “Ray” tried basketball one year and did very well for his first year, but he did not try again. Although “Ray” did not go out for sports, he was quite an athlete. He was a very active member of our class and served on several committees. Good luck, “Ray”, we all hope that you get the “break” you deserve! We wish you the best of luck in the future!

CORA FIELDS School Street “Cora” Franklin “Thy Modesty’s a Candle to Thy Merit.” Cora has been in our midst for four years, and during this time she has given almost every one of her schoolmates the impression of being a very quiet and modest scholar. Although her time was short for activities, she always was a willing helper when she was needed. She was an act ive member of the track team in her Freshman year, as well as a participant in the Fashion Show of the same year. Besides this, she also belonged to the Glee Club her Sophomore and Junior years. It is rumored about her that she is an aspirant to a business career in which we are sure she will attain success if she w ' orks as she did in High School. Best of Luck!

He w 7 as on the hockey team, pitched regular on the baseball team, and also belonged to the orchestra and the band. “Eddy” showed considerable skill in everything. Eddy” has played the cornet for two orchestras in town, and is still blowing strong for one of them. Aside from all these ac¬ tivities that “Eddy” has been a part of, he manages to be with the old gang quite a bit. Although we know that he will succeed in the future, we wish him all the luck in the world. Hockey 2, 3; Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 2, 3. [ 29 ]
