Everett Denning Midget” Peck Street, Franklin. Mass. Small of Stature, Quick of Wit.” That ' s Midget. Any new wise cracks that you want to know? Ask Midget ; he’ll tell you. A real jolly good fellow, never too tired or too lazy to give a few points in the up-to-date slang. Midget spends his afternoons laboring in one of the First National Stores, and he certainly is an expert along that line. Who knows? He may be a manager some day. He also starred in managing football and basketball teams, so all in all he is extremely capable as far as managing is con¬ cerned. Best of luck to you, Midget,” in anything you may do!

Live while you live and Die and be done with it.” This is Orlando, better known to all as Luns. His radiating personality will certainly be missed next year. Luns has been in the Band several years and has certainly helped to make it the success we know it is. Most of us see Luns on the street afternoons and he always has a ready Hi” or something to that effect for all. Some have wondered what the attraction is in Medway, but we’ll not go into that. Luns has been in several High School activities, always show¬ ing a good deal of enthusiasm. Luns doesn’t know what he is going to do next year, but here’s wishing him the best luck in the world. Band 1-2-3-4; Operetta 4; Literary Club 1-2-3. Francis Richardson Desper Dusty” Uncas Avenue. Franklin, Mass. It is the quiet worker who succeeds.” Francis is one of the two boys who stuck to shorthand and type¬ writing, and his ability in commercial work was very apparent. Dusty was one of the industrious boys who worked after school, and we understand that he is a very efficient business worker. Francis was also a dependable man on the football and track teams. Many times his playing and running have helped F. H. S. to victory. Our best wishes for success go with you, Francis. Football 3-4; Track 1-2. Nichola Carmin Dl Paola Nick Alpine Place, Franklin, Mass. Large was his bounty and his soul sincere.” Nick came into our class at the beginning of our Senior year. Before coming here, he attended school in Florence, Italy. After he had been here only a short time he wrote for the Blue and White a very interesting article on his former school life. As a marshal in front of the Senior rooms, Nick was the man to subdue the on- rushing mass. We don’t know just what Nick” intends to do. but whatever he does, the class wish him all the success in the world. T wenty-Three

mm Mary Crothers Martin Avenue, Franklin, Mass. “Lean on your own crutches. Mary could be classed with Mandy Ryan for her funny charac¬ teristics. They were often seen together. She was popular among her classmates because of that funny streak” that she had in her. Her chief pastime while in school was to ride in a packed car, with her other friends, during the lunch hour. There were no lazy bones on Mary; she was always in a hurry to do something. She desires to go further to school and the one she has chosen is Higgins. Here she will take a secretarial course and will some day be a noted character, if she continues to be on the go as she always was while in High School. Let us hope that she reaches the goal, success.” Literary Club 1-2. Track Meet 1-2-3. Hallowe’en Party 1; Glee Club 1. Mary Elizabeth Cruise Cruisie ” Union Street, Franklin, Mass. A dainty tripping miss-- with spirit rather high. Have you heard the latest song? If you haven’t, ask Cruisie.” Mary was always tripping around, singing the newest hit. And could she dance? Did you ever notice that Mary was always one of the lucky girls at social hours? Although full of fun. Mary was a good student as well as an athlete. Cruisie wants to become a nurse, and we surely can picture her in a uniform. Won’t she make a per¬ fect nurse! Our best wishes for your success, Mary! Inter-class basketball 1-2; Track 1-2; Junior Prom Committee 3 ; Chorus 1 -2-3-4. Elizabeth Daily “Liz “Lizzie Peck Street, Franklin, Mass. Nothing great ever was achieved without enthusiasm. Lizzie is a dreamy sort of a girl, but plenty of fun can be found in her for all of her dreaminess. Who made an almost invincible marshal? Why, Lizzie, of course! Who was the star center of the girls’ basketball team? Liz.” Who could always be seen chewing gum in school? Liz,” (even if she was unconscious of it.) Liz” was a big girl with a big heart, and she gladly shared this big heart with everyone. Liz plans to enter Higgins ' Business School next fall to continue her business career. Best of luck, Liz.” Music 1-2-3-4; Basketball 2-3-4; Jr. Prom 3; Track 1-2-3; Lit Club 1-2-3. Mary DeBaggis Deb Uncas Avenue, Franklin, Mass. Dance and keep that boyish figure. Deb,” the lover of a dance hall! Her greatest delight was a shiny floor and a good partner. The days when she seemed happiest were the ones when there was a social hour or when there was a chance to go to a dance in the evening. In her classes she was as glamorous as in dancing. When she was summarizing anything in English, the descriptive adjectives she used would make one sit up and take notice. Mary intends to go in training as a nurse and we are sure she will make a good one. Track Meet 1-2; Glee Club 3-4; Hallowe’en Party 2; Literary Club 1-2. T wenty-Two

John Dowling “Johnny” Lincoln Street, Franklin, Mass. “Innocence is thine.” There are some people who, while not created to create any great stir in public life, make their influence felt, nevertheless. Johnny is one of our enthusiastic classmates. He went out for football and showed his ability in holding the line. Not only has he proven his ability along athletic and scholastic lines, but he has established himself as a very capable associate business manager for the Year Book. We know that anything that John undertakes will be just what he intends to make it.

John Clifford Feeley “Chff” East Central Street, Franklin, Mass. 7 would I were a butterfly.” John Clifford has been cruising among us for the last four years at F. H. S. He’s always been quiet, as the class goes, but he’s un¬ mistakably there.” One might think from his size and meekness of aspect that in about two or three years, he should be able to play marbles for “keeps.” Don ' t let appearances fool you. He may be small, but he ' s got a load of athletic ability condensed in his frame. He went out for football for four years, and in his fourth year he came into his own; he engineered the team through a successful season, and continued to prove that the age of miracles is not yet extinct. We know he’ll make good at anything he tries, but wouldn’t he look brutal in a “Chief of Police” outfit.

Marshall Francis Ficco “Mush” “Musko” 3 5 Alpine Place, Franklin, Mass. “A friend to all, and a grand good sport.” Toot! Toot! Here comes “Musko,” one of the numerous big guns of our class. As is signified by his name, “Musko” was an all¬ round athlete and sure did his best wherever he was, whether on the gridiron, diamond, or basketball court. He always entered into the spirit of whatever was happening or whatever required his services. Strange to say, “Mush” seems to have acquired a great deal of common sense, for it is very seldom we see him in the presence of a member of the “weaker sex,” altho’ for a time he wore “green,” a very signi¬ ficant emblem of the freshman class. Never mind, “Mush” — keep up the good work and success will be assured. Football 2-3-4; Baseball 3; Interclass Basketball 4; Track 1-2- 3-4; Glee Club 2-3. Ethel Fisher “ Fishhooks ” ” Eth” East Central Street, Franklin, Mass. “It takes life to love life.” Nobody is blue when Ethel’s around, for she brings sunshine in spite of herself. Always jolly — the blues are just not in her vo¬ cabulary. A proven athlete, too, as was shown by her record in inter- dass sports and on the varsity basketball and hockey teams. In a way peculiar to herself, she has delighted us with her clever singing and dancing skits. Her athletic ability is not her only virtue, for she has shown us her talent along dramatic lines. Just take a look at the activities below and tell us what she missed.
