GRANT A. MacMICHAEL 199 School Street Franklin, Mass. “Mac” “The Lord is my Shepherd. We take off our hats to you, Mac, to one who has stood by his school always, to one who has fought his heart out on the gridiron for his team, and last but not least to our class president. As our president for the last year he has worked hard to make every class undertaking a success, no matter how small it may have been. Grant’s quiet but sincere manner has won for him many friends during his four years at high school and will continue to do so in the study of the Ministry which he intends to take up at Gordon College starting next fall. Anyone with Grant’s personal qualifications and his bright outlook on the future will be successful in life’s work. So all you need now, Grant, is—“Good Luck.” Football 1-2-3, Track 1-2-3, Marshal 2-3 (Captain 4), Junior Vice- President, Senior President, Chairman Editorial Committee of Oskey. ARTHUR CURTIS 24 Mechanics Street Bellingham, Mass. “Art” ‘ ‘ And laughter holding both his sides —’ ’ A tall, fuzzy-headed youth from Bellingham with a grin that never wore out. Has anyone ever seen him worry? No, and I don’t think anyone ever will. His name adorned the honor roll for four years even though he did cause some fun in classes. Art made a fine Vice-President and as an actor—well, ask Doc. He was a good sport and would do most anything for anybody. And there were times in Math class when he was severely reprimanded for being too smart for the rest of the class. Art will surely succeed in all of his undertakings. Business Manager of the Oskey, Dramatics 4, Marshal 1-2-3-4. DOROTHY DOWLING Lincoln Street Franklin, Mass. “Dot” Born {or success she seemed. With grace to win, with heart to hold. Like to have you meet Dottie, the girl who was at ease whether she was with some of her classmates or the President—yes, she’d meet the President with the same equanimity as she did some of us. Her one weakness was tangoes and we sort of wonder who first induced her to play them on the organ. Dot wants to be a missionary and we rather envy the little heathen to whom she goes to teach and help. Good luck, Dottie, and don’t let the cannibals eat you. Secretary of Junior Class, Secretary of Senior Class, Student Council, Dramatics. NORMA LONGTON Scott Hill Road South Bellingham, Mass. “Nonnie” Happy-Go-Lucky. The girl of the many nicknames and happy feet. Outside of class we have never seen Nonnie still for any great length of time. She enjoys life, yet does not value it. She may have been called “Farmer,” but if everybody could be like her we ' d ' want them all to be hicks. In fact we think that it was “Brainstorm” Longton who put South Bellingham on the map. How many times she has saved the day by playing the piano for socials. Her personality will take her a long way. Music 1, Marshal 1-2-3-4, Finance Committee Oskey, Basket Ball 1-4 (Captain), Dramatics 1-2, Class Treasurer 4, Track 3 4. 17

ALTHEA ALLEN Mechanics Place Franklin, Mass. “Al” “Alf” Good luck comes to those who bring sunshine wherever they may go.” It is said, “Laugh and the world laughs with you,” and we believe this was Al’s motto while in high school—for in all her four years here, she was noted for her famous laugh. However, this was not her only good quality, for her good sportsmanship rated high as a char¬ acteristic. She played well throughout the basket ball season and helped to bring many a victory to F.H.S. Basket Ball 1-2-3-4, Marshall 4, Junior Prom Committee 3- VERNON ANDERSON Maple Street Franklin, Mass. “Andy” It is the quiet worker who succeeds.” A fine student, a fine athlete, and a fine fellow. Andy came to us from Watertown at the beginning of our Junior year, and it was not long ere he proved himself an outstanding student and athlete, for his name appeared on the honor roll, and he made the first team in basket ball. Although he was a very quiet chap we all liked him very much. I don’t think he had one enemy in F.H.S. We don’t know just what Andy intends to do, but whatever he does, if he applies himself to the task as he has applied himself to his studies, he will surely succeed. Basket Ball 3-4, Editorial Committee 4. THOMAS BARNES 11 Orchard Street Franklin, Mass. “Tommy” Small of stature, quick of wit. He never spoke in class unless he said something important, but out of class his quick wit quite often caused us to hold our sides. Tommy never took part in any outside activities until his senior year, when he surprised us all by holding down a regular job on the football team. He was one of the reasons for the team’s success. Because of his ability to make decisions quickly and correctly when in a tight corner, we are sure Tommy will succeed in all his undertakings. Football 4, Interclass Basket Ball 1-2-3-4. FLORENCE ELIZABETH BARROWS Lake Street Bellingham, Mass. “Buffy” A friend is another self.” Whenever that old Bellingham bus heaves in sight in the morning we know Buffy is on it, ready to go to school and make it a better place. We think she does make it a nice place. Buffy is a fine classmate— always seeing the good points in a person. We can find a lot in the line of study that is to her credit—and may see her in the future in a high place on the ladder of success. Glee Club 1-2-3. 18
