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

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

Frank Lola Elm Street, Franklin, Mass. “Always spin but never spoon. Introducing Frank, the Senior sheik! Wasn’t he popular? Of course, especially with the opposite sex! Every noon hour this spring, — Frank was seen parading through West Central Street with his little Ford and it was never empty. He always picked up his friends for a little spin. Judging from his recitations in class, it seems that he in¬ tends to be a chemist or physicist. At unexpected moments, Frank would use some long expressions, generally used by chemists. Perhaps, after all, he doesn’t intend to be a chemist, but merely a business man. Here’s wishing him the best of luck in whatever he endeavors to do. Dramatics 4 ; Interclass Track 1-2-3-4. Helen Louise Lyons “Tiger School Street, Franklin, Mass. “Always ready, always there. Always willing to do her share. Helen was one of the active girls in our class. She showed her ability in studies, athletics, and music. Tiger” took a great interest in our class, and could be found at every class meeting. One never saw her idling in the corridors; she was always doing something. Helen was a very good athlete. Who can forget the despair of the Senior girls when Helen sprained her ankle just before the track meet? Tiger plans to go in training soon, and we envy the patients that have her for a nurse! Best of luck in the future, Helen! Track 1-2-3; Hockey 2; Chorus 1-2-3-4; Inter-class Basketball; Junior Dance Committee 3. Lincoln MacDonald Link Cottage Street, Franklin, Mass. Motto: I resolve to study conscientiously, attend school whenever possible, and be a gentleman and scholar always and forevermore. Link joined our class in the fall of ’28 after a lapse between his sophomore and junior years. At first we thought him a little ancient, but we soon became great friends; you see, he always bought his own cigarettes. He was one of the strong points of the line in football last year, but due to a rule, he was barred from athletics this year. And did we miss him, —- say, at Plymouth, for instance? He was always first with the latest, from first to last or vice versa. It has always been a mystery to his classmates why, after having been absent (approximately five times a week), he borrows a pen and a piece of paper as soon as he gets to school. Has anyone ever seen him worry? No, and it’s doubtful if anyone will. He ambles along (8 ft. strides, I know), at peace with the world, and lets nature take its course. We’ll wish him lots of luck, even if he has got an oversupply at present. Good luck, and good hunting, Linkun. old sock. Football 3; Track 3; Basketball (Interclass) 3-4; Dramatics -— 1897-—1930 (inclusive). Bernadine McInnis “Bernie Charlotte Street, Franklin. Mass. Beneath a cool exterior lies a warm heart. Although Bernie” was always rather quiet in school, we know that underneath her serene countenance there was really a lot of pep. For, do you remember when a certain Senior boy frequented the vicinity of Charlotte Street and was seen as an escort in many a place? Bernie wasn ' t so prominent in school activities, but she sure can dance. Of course, we all have seen her do ng the Highland Fling and the Sword Dance. Who hasn ' t? We don ' t quite know what Bernadine is planning to do next year, but we imagine it will be along the busi¬ ness line. Best o ' luck, Bernie, in whatever you may undertake. Twenty-Eight
