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

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

Arlene MacIvor “Mac” Emmons Street, Franklin, Mass. “Laugh and the world laughs with you; Weep and you weep alone.” That’s “Mac ' s motto and she sticks by it through thick and thin. “Happy I am, from care I ' m free, is the breezy way “Mac goes along. A girl with a heart ot gold — by the way — the last we knew about that heart it had been stolen — What a break that boy’s getting. Though “Mac ' ' be old and gray as the years go by, a laugh like her ' s will never die. Junior Prom Committee 3 ; Freshman Acquaintance Party Com¬ mittee 4; Hallowe ' en Party Committee 2-3; Track 1; Stunt Night 1-2-3; Hockey Varsity 2. Ruth Irma Mann “Ruth City Mills, Mass. “Her face is fair, her heart is true.” We couldn ' t help liking Ruth at first acquaintance, but somehow the more we knew her the better we liked her. She was always an ideal friend, kind, and thoughtful of others. In school activities we might say that Prize Speaking was her favorite, for she went out for this all four years and always made a fine showing at the Contests. Ruth will probably go to Normal School next year, and then be a teacher. Our best wishes will go with her. Prize Speaking 1-2-3-4; Glee Club 3-4. Preston Mason “Dud” Lincoln Street, Franklin, Mass. “In a way, a smile has a way of going a long way.” Don’t get this “Duddie mixed up with the other “Duddie,” al¬ though at times it can’t be avoided. Here are two boys that must be known well to be known apart. Preston has always been outstanding in athletics, especially last year, when he added basketball to his list of sports, making him a four letter man, Football, Basketball. Track, and Baseball. He holds the mile record for the school. Anyway, “Dud. work hard and remember, — If at first you don’t try, succeed or you’re bound to fail. Football 1-2-3-4; Basketball 3; Baseball 1-2-3; Track 1-2-3; Interclass 1-2-3-4. Prescott Mason “ Duddie ” Lincoln Street. Franklin, Mass. “What rough games the boys play nowadays!” Take down the telephone receiver any Thursday or Saturday after 10 P. M. and a sweet, refined voice on the other end of the line will say “Number Please.” “Duddie” has been outstanding in High School Athletics. He has made every team that he has gone out for since he came to F. H. S. This last year, he captained the football team through a successful season, and this being his 5th year in High School, he was barred from Athletics for the rest of the year. “Dud¬ die has a distinct leaning toward telephones. Who can tell to what heights he may rise in this field! Greetings, Salutations, and Conflag¬ rations, “Dud ; we’re all waiting for you to make good.
