Howard Abbott “Bunny 136 School Street, Franklin, Mass. “A student as well as an athlete.” Howard, although a quiet fellow, was never behind in anything. He was liked by all because of his pleasing good-nature. He was a brilliant student, as is shown by the fact that he received the second highest honor in the class. Howard was also an excellent basketball player and did some fine work in this line. He was a decided hit in the band play, “A Mad Breakfast,” when he took the part of one of the women. Howard has come through Franklin High with flying colors and we are all certain he will keep on in the same manner.

Margaret Temple Abbott “Gete “Marge Alpine Street, Franklin, Mass. “The Best Ever. Gete” is the exception to the rule. Beauty and Brains do not usually go together.” She certainly has both. Gete is always smil¬ ing. Never a frown crosses her face. She is also a loyal friend, a good student, an excellent dancer, and a very good chauffeuress. She also was the Sheba” of the Class of ' 30, and a right good choice it was, too. Gete” was also interested in athletics. She went out for track and intcrclass basketball. She could act, too, as evidenced by the parts she had in different plays given at the school. She is undecided as to what she will do next year. She thinks she will train either for a secretary or a nurse. Whatever field she enters, we wish her the best of luck.

Lois Edith Alexander “Siol 153 Alpine Street, Franklin. Mass. “None but herself can be her parallel. Lois is another one of our well-dressed flappers of the class of ' 30, and it cannot be denied that she was also a real good sport in more ways than one. A dance proved to be Siol ' s” joy and many’s the night she has spent in happiness and bliss on the F. H. S. dance floor. No wonder she was socially prominent! Tall, slender, and graceful was Siol” and -— (come on, girls, admit it) — was envied by more than one little miss of her list of acquaintances. Lois has always done well in her studies. Anyone that knows her will agree that none but herself can be her parallel.” Her success in life is sure. Dean and Wheaton follow F. H. S. for her, so good luck, “Siol.” Horace Mann Lit Club 1-2-3; Interclass Basketball 1-2-4; Track 1-2-3; Junior Prom Committee 3; Dramatics 1-2-3-4; Glee Club 4. Alvah Aldrich West Central Street, Franklin, Mass. “A tireless worker and true to his trust. Alvah was a quiet fellow and one of the most likable chaps in school. One could always find Alvah in the afternoon at school at his private desk in the hall. If anything ever needed to be done he was always on hand and never failed to do it properly. His efficient work behind the scenes at the school plays and dances was greatly appre¬ ciated by all. Dramatics 2; Track 2; Glee Club 1-2-3-4. Seventeen

“Buck 128 Pleasant Street, Franklin, Mass. Hail to the chief who in triumph advances. All of us know Buck,” and why shouldn ' t we when he was the unanimous choice of the class for president? He held this position for both the Junior and Senior years and we know of no one who could have done the job half so well. “Buck” took a leading part in Doc ' s” Christmas play — and did a wonderful job with it. Buck” has always had his heart set on being a doctor and we’re all sure that he will make good in this line or whatever else he attempts.

John Rogers Goodwin Fales Street, Franklin, Mass. A good man possesses a kingdom.” John was well-liked by all who knew him. He played an im portant part in the life of the school and no better person could have been selected for vice-president of the Senior Class. John took part in most of the social activities in and about school and always made events more enjoyable. He was a willing worker and always did his job well. John will certainly stick to his work, whatever he starts, until it is finished and done to perfection.

Blanche Geraldine Moore “Bunch” 24 Fales Street, Franklin, Mass. “Wit and wisdom go hand in hand.” Everybody stand! Allow me to introduce Blanche. Oh, I should have known she needed no introduction. Bunch” is certainly a very popular member of our class and the credit she deserves would fill a book. As class treasurer she served most faithfully. She has taken part in all of our school activities and we have always felt assured of her wishes for the best of success in all our undertakings. Blanche has never had the blues and we doubt if she knows what they are. Her smiles have never failed to gain an answering smile, no matter what the gender of the other face. So, in what ever field of work you try, Bunch.” we extend to you our sincercst wishes for success, and hope that your spirit is always as ready as now.

Muriel Elizabeth Reilly “Sis” Mur” 188 East Central Street, Franklin, Mass. “Good nature and good sense were her companions.” Muriel has always been an ardent worker for the class of ’30 and has always made a good job of it. Many a stormy morning ”Sis” has hiked up from the plains to grace the corridors with her presence. Although Muriel is quiet, if she is ever absent — which is seldom — everyone misses her and is looking for her return, anxiously. Busi¬ ness seems to be the vocation that has called Muriel. We know she will make as charming an executive secretary as she has our class secre¬ tary. So here’s the best to you, Muriel.

Eleanor Allen ■•Red Medway, Mass. A Smile for Everyone. Red ' ' came to us from Medway. She was a welcome member of our class, taking part in many activities. She was always going around smiling, happy all the time. Her studies didn ' t interest her a great deal, but she managed to wade through them. Red certainly made a hit with the opposite sex while in school. They were interested in her and she was interested in them. That made it very nice. One particular fellow, though, got most of Red s attention. Give a guess as to his identity. Best of luck to you in Burdett’s, Red. We all hope you ' ll make a great success as a stenog.

Mary Avadanian Mechanic Street, Bellingham, Mass. “Laugh with the world, but never at the world.” Here is our little farmerette from Bellingham. Mary could al¬ ways find time to laugh at anything. In any class, whenever she said anything out of the ordinary she would be the first to laugh. She would then put her head on her desk and keep it there for about ten minutes. We often wondered why Mary hid her face, but probably it was just a habit. Mary could laugh but she could also tickle the keys in typewriting. She usually had her work done before the others in our class. After graduation she intends to go to New Jersey to work. We are sorry she is leaving our vicinity for you might call her a neighbor, living as she does in Bellingham. We extend our best wishes for her success, wherever she may go. Glee Club 4; Track Meet 1. Eleanor Baker Ruggles Street, Franklin, Mass. Thought seems to come and go In thy large eyes, imperial Eleanor.” Eleanor always found a happy side of life. Maybe it came from athletics, for she was one of the athletic girls in our class. She took some part in almost all of the girls’ sports, and went out for Track all four years. Although Eleanor also excelled in cooking and sewing, she plans to make a business career, and be somebody’s secretary. Best wishes from us all, Eleanor! We know you will make good.

Gladys Baker “ Glady” East Central Street, Franklin, Mass. “Study now, play after.” In our English classes Gladys was noted for her book reviews. Her descriptions or reports of books she had read were unusually good. She developed that talent in her freshman year and kept it up through¬ out the remaining years. She was always a quiet unassuming girl and never caused the teachers a troublesome moment. Her ambition is to become a stenographer and we are sure she will make a very good one and be a credit to her school, and to her employer. She has already shown her ability in her stenography class by being one of the best pupils. Success is sure to come to a student of Gladys’ ability and ambitions.
