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.

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

Russell Barnes “ Barnsey” Marvin Avenue, Franklin, Mass. The good and well behaved get the worst bargain.” We often wondered if there was any such person as a Russell Barnes in our senior class, for he certainly was a bashful, quiet boy while he was in school. During his four years in high school he was one of the best behaved boys in the school. The teachers must have wished there were more like him. Although he was quiet and did not care to talk before the class, he still could do well in his subjects. Russell intends to go to Burdette next year. We all wish him the greatest of success and happiness during the time he attends Burdette and in the work he chooses. Hallowe’en Party 1. Marjorie Belcher “Marge” Bellingham, Mass. “Friend of all — Foe of none.” “Marge is another Bellingham girl. She is one of the best seamstresses in the Senior class. In her Sophomore year she received honorable mention in the National Buttrick Contest in New York. In her Senior year she also won third prize in a county dress-making contest. She won several canning prizes and won the Home Beautiful contest in this state, too. “Marge’’ didn’t take very active part in high school activities. Not very many of us knew her well, but those of us who were privileged in knowing her, certainly liked her. We never saw “Marge angry. She was always happy and good-natured. This was a great help to her in making friends. Music 1-2-3; Trick 1-2; Interclass Basketball 3-4. Herbert Alden Besse “Herbie” 70 East Central Street, Franklin, Mass. “I have the courage of mg opinions.” “Herbie” is a man of the world and a connoisseur of fine cars, motor boats, and (?). One of his greatest ambitions is someday to do one hundred down a six mile cement straight-away in his own Due- senberg. We all remember the time he had appendicitis and his tale of the delights of taking morphine. Herbie’s looks and figure gave him advantages in gaining the attention of the opposite sex at home and abroad. He twirled a mean roulette wheel in “Father and the Boys and proved himself worthy of the distinction of being the first in our class to have a major part in one of “Doc ' s plays. We all know that “Herbie will succeed in whatever he attempts. Dramatics 3; Track 1-2; Monitor 3-4; Junior Prom Commit¬ tee 3; Hallowe ' en Committee 3. Sophie Barbara Bis “Silence is golden.” Wrentham Street, South Bellingham, Mass. Hail, a maiden from South Bellingham! It is Sophie Bis, a quiet, shy girl of Franklin High School. She was very popular with her classmates and loved by all. Sophie never slipped in her studies, and she certainly kept up with her Typewriting Speed Tests. Perhaps Sophie intends to enter a Business College, or maybe she’ll join the Business World. In any case, we wish her heartiest luck for a pros¬ perous and successful career.
