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.

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. Dramatics 1; Music 1-2-3; Track 1; Junior Prom Committee 3; Freshman Acquaintance Party 1; Hallowe’en Committee 2; Inter¬ class Basketball 1-2. 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. Track 1-2-3-4; Interclass Basketball; Glee Club; Junior Prom Committee; Marshal. 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.

Louise Mary Brunelli ‘ ' Lou Summer Street, Frankliil, Mass. “Sloio but sure. Here is Louise! She was one of the best natured of our class¬ mates. Louise was a Jolly Kid and she had a great big smile on her face all the time. Whenever Ann came in late. Lou was sure to follow her. In her Sophomore year, Lou won second prize in the District Butterick Contest in Dressmaking. Wasn’t that fine? Congratulations. Lou. Just what she intends to do is unknown at present. Perhaps it ' s dressmaking, or maybe stenography. Here ' s wishing hef the best of luck. Track Meet 1; Literary Club 1-2; Glee Club 1-4. Velma Byrnes Vel Vellie W. Central Street, Franklin. Mass. Dimples in her cheeks, dimples in her chin, You ' re always sure of lots of fun when Vel comes rushing in.” Vel is always doing something which will make you laugh. Hers is the eye with the mischievous twinkle, the laugh that is often a chuckle. “Vel ' s” sense of humor and good nature are always in evidence. Athletics and dramatics also have a strong pull for her. As long as she can get out for a game of hockey, basketball, volley ball. Vel doesn ' t mind how long the assignments are. But she also has her serious moments and at times puts aside her jolly spirit and assumes a grave attitude. Vel is a pleasant combination of serious¬ ness and fun. Track 1-2-3-4; Hockey 2-3; Dramatics 4; Junior Prom Com¬ mittee 3; Stunt Night 1-2-3-4; Interclass Sports 1-2-3-4. John Croston Carr “ Baldy” Chestnut Street, Franklin. Mass. He draweth out the thread of his verbosity finer than the staple of his argument John was the star catcher on the baseball team and an ardent fan. He also played basketball and we all remember the clever work he did in the game with Woonsocket. John played football, too, and did a great deal of good work in that sport. John always put across what¬ ever he attempted and the magazine contest is an example of his fine work.

Marjorie Patricia Casey ‘‘Marj’’ Pat School Street. Franklin. Mass. ‘‘Mischief dances in her eyes and smiles upon her lips. Pat always had a ready smile and a breezy answer for every¬ one. You may well ask how so much Pep could come in such a small package. Pat is one cf the merriest members of the class, but very serious when it is a serious person to be dealt with. She is the staunchest of friends and you may count on her loyalty every time. The two things that make Pat particularly dear to us are her coy ways and alluring manner. Middlebury seems to be her goal and we are sure she will arrive, and acquire as many friends there as she leaves behind. Blue and White 4; Junior Prom Committee 3. T wenty
