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. Baseball 1-2-3-4; Basketball 4; Football 1-2-3; Manager Maga¬ zine Selling 4; Dramatics 1-2-3; Marshal 2; Hockey 1-2; Band 2-3- 4; Decoration Committee Junior Prom 3. 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

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.

Everett Cataldo “Leelac” East Central Street, Franklin, Mass. “Power to start and power to finish.’’ “Leelac,” one of the best athletes Franklin High has ever seen, pulled us through many a tight place in football, baseball, and bas¬ ketball, and we all can remember thrillers that he provided in many of the basketball games during the four years he played. “Leelac” often had the crowd roaring during one of the tense moments when he dribbled down the floor, dodging everyone, and scored. It certainly is no little honor to have been captain of the basketball teams which have secured first place for two consecutive years in the South Shore Tournaments, and “Leelac’s playing had a great deal to do with the wins. “Leelac’ ' certainly made a name for himself at Franklin High and all who know him are certain that he will continue in the same way in future life. Basketball 1-2-3-4; Captain 3-4; Baseball 1-2; Football 1-2- 3-4; Dramatics 3-4; Track 1. John Alden Costello 81 Union Street, Franklin, Mass. “Full of wit and humor.” John was one of the best-liked fellows in school and had a line that would put him across anywhere at any time. He certainly could play the piano and generally could be found in the auditorium tickling the keys of the Baby Grand. He played with the Symphonians and after returning from Chatham last summer told us all about the beau¬ ties of the seashore. John was a member of the track team and ran at the Brockton Fair in his freshman year. He also played with the baseball squad for two years. We all hope that John will make music his life work, for we know that his playing will make as great a hit with others as it has with us. Baseball 2-4; Track 1-2; Vice-President 3; Orchestra Commit¬ tee, Junior Prom; Band 1-2-3-4; Class Marshal 3; Junior Dance Committee Hallowe’en Party 2. Mary Lucy Costello “Costie” Chestnut Street, Franklin, Mass. “Rough and ready. Well, well, if it isn’t Mary, the basketball star! Was she popu¬ lar among her classmates! Don’t ask. Mary was the “Good-natured Senior who always took a joke. S he certainly showed her school spirit in athletics. Mary also took part in various assemblies and she always made a “great hit with her classmates. Basketball Team 2-3-4: Captain of Basketball Team 4; Captain of Interclass Team 2-3-4: Track Meet Captain 2-3-4; Literary Club 1-2; Glee Club 1-2-4; Hallowe’en Committee 4. Lewis Crandall “Lewie Oak Street. Franklin, Mass. “Nice things come in small packages.” “Lewie’’ may be small, but he sure has his place in Franklin High. He is always bubbling over with laughter and keeps everyone else the same. His jokes and wise cracks have gotten him in many tight places but he usually manages to escape somehow. He took active part in athletics. He played on the basketball team for four years. Didn ' t we all cheer when “little Lewie made a basket, which he did frequently? He also could run and jump, taking part in the track meet his Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years. Basketball 1-2-3-4; Glee Club 1-2; Track 2-3-4; Inter-class Basketball 1-2-3-4. T wenty-One
