3 . Stanley Fleming “Stan Oak Street, Franklin, Mass. “Answer promptly and get it over. Stan was another quiet boy in our class. We remember the day when Miss M. Shepard, our English teacher, waited two minutes for him to speak. In his senior year, however, he developed into a fast boy with his Ford Sedan. He certainly did step on the gas while riding on the roads near the school. Stan was very prominent in our High School Band. He went out for band for three years. We do not know whether he has yet chosen his life work, but we know that in his quiet manner he will succeed. Track Meet 3; Band 2-3-4; Orchestra 1. Margaret Anne Goodwin “Peg “Punk 8 1 West Street, Franklin, Mass. Still water runs deep. Peg was a member of the business class and tickled a typewriter with the best of them. At present she is occupying the position of stenog for Attorney Lee C. Abbott. Keep it up, Peg. What lawyer wouldn ' t envy the one who had this little ray of sunshine around? The four years of her company were pleasant ones for us all, for, to a high degree she understood the fine art of friendship, and if you have a true friend, what more can Heaven give you?

Alice Hale Alice Main Street, Franklin, Mass. “Silence is Golden.” Alice was one of our brightest students. She was the valedic¬ torian of our class. She was one of our quiet high school pals. She was not particularly athletic, but she was an energetic student. She ' was popular with those who really knew her and highly respected by those who were less familiar with her true self. Alice was quite a beauty, too, with her smooth skin and heavy golden curls. Here’s to your success for the coming years, wherever they may lead. Music 3-4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Horace Mann Lit. So¬ ciety 1-2-3; Oskey Editorial Committee 4. Francis Lewis Hamant “Hammy” “Fran East Central Street, Franklin, Mass. “Silence is Golden. Hammy has been one of our quietest classmates — seldom heard of or from, but always calm, serene, and good-natured. In his quiet way he has taken part in many school activities, including base¬ ball, band, and orchestra. In the latter two activities he deviates some¬ what from his usual quiet course in life. You see, he plays a saxo¬ phone. Fran has always been a good worker. He sticks faithfully by his studies and in his spare time labors as usher in the local play¬ house. During his first two years at High School he was a member of a certain obscure and much defeated basketball team labelled Com¬ ets. We don ' t know his plans for the future, but we wish him suc¬ cess in everything he undertakes. Orchestra 1-2-3-4; Marshal 2-3-4; Band 1-2-3-4; Interclass Basketball 1-2-3-4; Baseball 1-2-3-4.

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.

Marion Esther Holmes 270 Main Street, Franklin, Mass. “For Oh, eternity’s too short to utter all thy praise!” Here’s to the girl with a wonderful disposition, one whom we have never seen cross, and who has never been too busy to lend a helping hand, or to do some favor for her friends. Marion is the type of girl that one describes as a “perfect peach.” She has been prominent in student activities where her jolly good will, sound advice, and ready-to-help spirit have done much to put things over. Need we say any more about Marion? At present she is undecided whether to grace Mount Holyoke or Wheaton with her presence. Wherever it may be, they will be getting one of the best all-around girls we know.

Betty Hutchinson “Betty” School Street, Franklin, Mass. “Head and Heart of Gold.” Betty can write, dance, talk, laugh, and study in ways equally clever. This was shown when it was announced that she received the third honor for graduation. Betty also starred in dramatics, taking the lead in several plays. In school Betty seems to be a demure girl, but it is said she “steps out plenty.” Betty is about the only one who has that wonderful gift of combining knowledge with good times. With this advantage over the rest of us, we’re sure she’ll be successful.

The Scout Oath . Bob has always been a quiet, unobtrusive student, quite capable of humor, or shall I say satire, at times. I don ' t think he’s ever come under the jurisdiction of school law in all his four years in high school. Bob has been a frequent contributor to the Blue and White, and some of his articles show that he is capable of thought. Now this is the height of mental attainment for high school students. Perhaps if he makes a habit of thinking and sticks at it, he’ll be a big “Exec” in the A. £3 P. We know that if patience and industry are factors in advancement, Mr. Robert Jacques, Esq., will advance swiftly and far. The best of luck to you. Bob. — Strive onward.

Doris Christina Johnson “ Dorie” “Dot” Prospect Street, Franklin, Mass. “A pretty golden head is hers, And a heart as big as all Outdoors.” Friendly and lovable, “Dot” has proven herself to be of the type “once a friend, always a friend.” Ask her sometime to do something for you. You know perfectly well that your answer will be “Sure, old top. I’ll try.” That was “Dorie” all over. She tried hard al¬ ways to win friendliness and fame — the latter especially for her class, for she was one of the two most brilliant commercial students chosen to represent her class in the big contest at Worcester. She took many things seriously, but it was the sunny side of her nature that drew the hearts of many toward her. Good luck. “Dorie.” Horace Mann Lit Club 1; Track 1-2-3; Year Book Editorial Committee 4; Glee Club 1-2-3-4. T wenty-Six
