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. Band 1-2-3-4; Blue and White 1-2-4; Music 1-2-3-4; Dra¬ matics 4; Marshal 3-4. 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

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.

Frances Keefe “Fran” Cottage Street. Franklin, Mass. “A smile full of sunshine A heart full of song” Here comes the girl with the truly pink cheeks, the big brown eyes, the roguish smile, a frank spirit, and a generous heart. “Fran” is always on the spot ready to do her part and do it efficiently. One of the nicest things about Fran” is the way she always understands and sympathizes when we tell her our woes. Then, too, she is ever ready to lend a helping hand, which makes us like her better. If you want to laugh just listen to “Fran ' s” “Slants on the Dance.” “Fran” is a devotee of goed times, and a good time is a better time if “Fran” is along. But she can be serious, and when the occasion arises there are few who are more capable or have more dignity. Her friends are many, and anyone will tell you she’s a good scout.” Track 1-2: Stunt Night 1-2: Glee Club 2-3-4; Hallowe’en Party 1-2-3-4; Junior Dance Committee 3; Dramatics 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Freshman Acquaintance Party 4; Editorial Com¬ mittee Year Book 4: Blue and White Staff 4. Sally King “Pal” City Mills, Mass. “A daughter of the gods, divinely tall.” “ There is no lady in the land Is half so sweet as Sally. ' Although she did not join our class until the Sophomore year, we feel as though we had always known her. How often she was the envy of some of her shorter classmates! Her first year with us she showed her ability in athletics by taking part in the Track Meet. Sally was also a good dancer, singer, and speaker. Both her Junior and Senior years she went out for prize speaking. Sally plans to enter the Dea¬ coness Hospital next fall, not as a patient, we are glad to say, but to study to be a nurse. We know she will make a perfect nurse. Track 2: Prize Speaking 3-4; Glee Club 2-3-4. Doris Rita Landry Pleasant Street, Franklin, Mass. “Serene and resolute and still and calm and self-possessed.” We have heard it said about Doris that “she ' s the kind of a girl that you like to know” — of course we haven’t any idea who said it??? During our four years at High, Doris has been a most loyal supporter of all social functions and sport activities. No committee was ever complete without Doris being on it to render her valuable assistance. Nursing is to be Doris’ vocation, and we know she’ll be a success, because of her sympathetic and capable disposition.

Anna Viola Lan Ducci “Red” “Ann” Summer Street, Franklin, Mass. “Never on time, but always there.” Introducing Anna Lan Ducci, the happy-go-lucky girl of Frank¬ lin High. “Ann” was never in school at 8:25. She usually came stroll¬ ing in after the morning exercises. If Anna was ever wanted after 2:17 you would surely find her in Session Hall, either for being tardy or for “fooling,” but in spite of her sessions. Anna was one of the most popular girls in the Senior Class. She was a marshal practically all of her Junior year, and did she make the students behave in line? We don’t know what “Ann” is planning to do, but we surely wish her happiness and success. Glee Club 1-4; Marshal 2-3-4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Literary Club 1. T wenty-Sev
