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! Alden Club Prize ’26; Dramatics ’27; Class Prize ' 27; Hallow¬ e’en Dance Committee ’27. 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! Glee Club 2, 3; Track 1; Fashion Show 1. EDWARD FITZGERALD Peck Street “Eddy” “Fitz” Franklin “Eddy” has been a very busy boy all the time that he has been in high school. 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 ]

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. Band 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Lit Club 2, 3, 4; Biology Club 4; Basketball 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Inter-class Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. 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 ]

i LEONARD HOULE “Billy” South Bellingham “Still waters run deep.’’ May we introduce a member from Bellingham? Leonard came to us from Woonsocket two years ago, and has been with us ever since—in more ways than one. He has been called the “wise man” of his English class, and his occasional wise cracks were all the funnier for being so un¬ expected. He had plenty of class spirit, and w r as generally around when he was wanted. He had a quick smile, and a clever wit. Leonard was a hard working student, and undoubtedly has ambitions. However, he is undecided about next year, but we wish him the best of luck! BARBARA HUDSON Dean Avenue “Barb” Franklin “The Best Ever.” A most distinguished and very much honored all ' round class¬ mate is Barbara. Throughout her four years she has been one of the most popular members of the class. “Barb” was our lead¬ ing lady in nearly all of our plays, and we w r ere fortunate indeed to have her as leading lady in our Senior Class play, “The Cat and the Canary.” Her dramatic reputation has been fullv established. She was one of the peppiest girls in the class, one of the cleverest, with a good firm foundation of common sense. Barbara had many friends of both genders. She was a good dancer, a fine student, and a hard worker for her class. Our best wishes follow her, no matter where she goes. Best of luck, “Barb”!

WALTER KORNICKI Crook’s Corner “Waltz” Bellingham “Silence is Golden.” Walter Kornicki has been with our class for the last four years. As he comes from Bellingham most of us are unacquainted with him, because as soon as school is over he is away. We that know him in our class rooms realize he is a fellow worth knowing. Although time does not allow him to take part in many activities he is occasionally seen about the building on nights of social events and in all is a necessary member of our class. For his knowledge of books,—let us leave the decision to “Doc ! May your path through life be sunny and pleasant, as it has seemed to lie in High School! L 30 j
