RAYMOND DANTON 15 Washington Street Franklin, Mass. “Ray” Let the world slide—what care 1 ?’ ’ This is clever Ray who, we hear, can read a composition from a paper without having written it. It gets by the teacher, too;—pretty good, Ray. We’d never dare. We haven’t such a knack so we envy you. We hope you keep that knack, Ray. It will help if you ever are in a ticklish position, when you become a big business man. We think you should study shorthand; it requires quickness and brings good money. JEMMA DE BAGGIS 49 Ruggles Street Franklin, Mass. “Jemma” “Friend of all—Foe of none. ' ' Introducing Jemma with her sparkling eyes and flashing smile. She was a very popular member of our class and has scores of friends singing her praises. Everyone knew that Jemma’s favorite food was an enor¬ mous doughnut chock-full of luscious jelly, which she had filled ’specially for herself. Lucky Jemma! Jemma was a very good marshal, and did she make us little children behave? She was also on the finance committee for the “Oskey,” and her knowledge of business was cer¬ tainly valuable. Jemma took a secretarial course, and what a boon she would be to any office. Best wishes, Jemma. We know that you’ll make good. Track 1, Refreshment Committee Junior Prom 3, Marshal 4, Finance Committee Oskey 4. BRUNO DE CECCO 20 Howard Street Franklin, Mass. “Socksy” “A great sport and a friend to all. As happy as the day is long is Bruno. He always had a broad smile and a merry greeting for every one, no matter if a stiff exam haunted him. If the Commercial Law class began to get dull, “Socksy” would liven things up by starting a heated argument and would have everyone in the classroom feeling wide awake, ready to match skill with his next subject. Many a limb-weary linesman has been cheered and has responded to Bruno’s “Come on, fellows; they can’t beat us.” Not only was Bruno popular with the boys, but he also had a large follow¬ ing of sentimental girls. Football 2-3-4, Track 1-2-3, Interclass Basket Ball 1-2-3-4, Marshal 4. FILOMENA PAULINE DI PIETRO 19 Mechanic Street Bellingham, Mass. “Fil” Always ready, always there. Always willing to do her share.” Hail, a maiden from Bellingham! Fil is just “pleasingly plump,” has a dazzling smile, and her sense of humor, plus her witty remarks, make her popular with everybody. Fil is always calm and collected- no matter how nerve-wrecking the circumstances. Remember how she rattled off an oral composition as if she were inspired, while we sat and bit our nails, dreading our turn? As a marshal, she had no rival. Fil is a very bright girl, too, and we can just see her as a secretary, attending to everything quickly and efficiently. Success is sure to come to a student of Fil’s ability and ambitions.

i WILLIAM CHRISTAKES Garfield Street Franklin, Mass. “Bill” “Christy” I am sure care is an enemy to life.” Where is Christy? Down at the pool room. This is Christy’s favorite hangout. If he is not there, he will be seen driving a truck. If he is doing neither of these two things, he can be found in school. He likes to have a good time but he is also a good scholar. He has taken the general course in his four years in high school and he will probably go to work following his graduation. Good luck, Christy. HAROLD CLARK 1086 West Central Street Franklin, Mass. “Eskie” ‘ ‘ Always spin but never spoon. The gentleman often seen driving around town in a snappy Ford Roadster is Eskie. No matter if it is rain or shine Harold always has something big on after school. He truly has been a busy fellow but never too busy to laugh and joke with his classmates, which makes Harold a very desirable friend. Good luck to you, Harold, and may your future be as bright as your days in Franklin High were. Football 2-3, Orchestra 3- ROBERT CLARK Crescent Street Franklin, Mass. “Bob” “ Artistic Fingers. “Wit” and “Artist” should have been Bob’s middle names. Many times did a classroom burst into laughter at some of his witty remarks and dry humor. Everyone who has seen the “Nuts Parade” will also recognize Bob’s talent as an editor and cartoonist. He has taken the college course during his four years in school and he expects to continue his study of journalism at Boston University. We all know that Bob will succeed and we wish him the best of luck. Dramatic Club 4, Baseball 4. LOUIS COREY 20 Ruggles Street Franklin, Mass. “Louie” ‘ ‘ 1 shall succeed —’ ’ His hair is the envy of all. No hairdresser could have done a better job in making it so curly, and crinkly. Think of the care involved in keeping all those tendrils so nice and curly. He is considered one of Doc’s good-looking young actors, quite an actor at that. He was kept very busy at English period—always being called down to the office. If you’ve ever played cards with Louie you know what a card shark he is. Good wishes and success for whatever you attempt to do, Louie. Orchestra 1-2-3-4, Band 1-2-3-4, Dramatics 2-3-4, Operetta 1-2, Junior Prom Committee 3, Oskey Committee 4, Marshal 3-4. 20

IRENE EDNA DUMAIS 38 Washington Street Franklin, Mass. “Irene” ‘ ‘Good nature and good sense were her companions. And now we introduce to you Irene of Di Pietro Dumais, partners in crime. If you would like a description—slender, dark haired, vi¬ vacious, and alert. She reminds us of a little girl just grown a little taller. Don’t take us wrong—she isn’t the least bit childish—she is fresh and untarnished by her contact with the mean old world. She is one reason why it is so pleasant to sit in the back of Room 110. Her ambition is to become somebody’s stenog., and we have no misgiving about sending her out into the world, because her training and per¬ sonality make her a girl who will stand out as just the girl who is needed. Committee Club 3, Oskey Editorial Committee 4, Dramatics. HARRY DUNNIBIER Lincoln Street Franklin, Mass. “Harry” “Short of stature, quick of wit.” The saying, “Good things come in small packages,” certainly runs true in Harry’s case. Although he is quiet, his words have always carried weight, whether in class or outside amongst classmates. Judg¬ ing by the way he handled himself while in high school we are sure he will be successful in the future, whatever his line may be. Student Council 2. RITA DUCHARME 242 Beaver Street Franklin, Mass. “Dutch” “Care-free, clever, and sporty.” With great pleasure we introduce Dutch, sharp shooter of our basket ball team. We’re sure that if Dutch keeps that good sense of direction, we’ll soon find her making a name for herself in this great world. Dutch is a friendly sort of person and we can always depend on her to help her school and us. She’s right there when it comes to studies, too. May our acquaintance with her go forward, as the years roll by. Varsity Basket Ball 2-3-4, Track 1-2-4. WILMA MARY EIDA Daniels Street Franklin, Mass. “Will” ‘ ‘A golden head—a golden heart. Is Wilma ' s smiling face familiar? It should be, for whenever there is a sign of physical activities, “Will” is always on the spot doing her best. She doesn’t say much, but she gets there just the same. She proved that in her needle work, making all those dainty things in sewing class. Will doesn’t say what she wants to be, but when she decides we know she’ll choose right. Track 1-2-4, Varsity Basket Ball 2-3-4. 22
