VERONICA WNUCOSKY 302 Washington Street Franklin, Mass. “Veronica” ‘ ‘ It pays to be clever. Reading books was Veronica’s hobby. She read anything from Horatio Alger to Shakespeare with fellows like Zane Grey and Joseph Lincoln sprinkled generously in between. And yet she always had her lessons done and proved that there was a happy medium between all work and all play. Here’s luck to you, Veronica, and by the way, have you read “Anthony Adverse” yet? Glee Club 3, Dramatic Club 4. ALEX GALUZA Pickering Avenue South Bellingham, Mass. “Prof” What is worth doing at all, is worth doing well. Ask the teachers who have been fortunate enough to have Alex in their class and they will tell you what a brilliant young scholar he is. Everything Alex does is done right, before it suits bim, which accounts for his good marks. The opposite sex doesn’t bother Alex much al¬ though it is no fault of the girls. Bellingham may add another name to her list of students who have been successful in their four years at Franklin High. Wish you luck in whatever you do, Alex. Junior Prom Decorating Committee 3, Art Committee for Oskey 4, Track 2. JOHN GEISHECKER East Central Street Franklin, Mass. ‘ ’Johnnie’ ’ “ Always there, but seldom heard from. John was one of the more quiet members of the class. He probably believes that “fewer words make fewer enemies.” But to those that know him better, John is the best of friends. He plays the violin well and he is largely interested in music. He has been a valuable member of the orchestra during the four years in High School. John has taken the college course and although he didn’t say much he usually said it right. He is undecided as to what he will do after graduation, but we give him a hearty send-off. Orchestra 1-2-3-4. GERTRUDE HAMM 1166 West Central Street Franklin, Mass. “ Vee’ ’ “A friend to all and a grand good sport. Vee’s beaming countenance has graced the halls of Franklin High for four years. Everyone liked “Vee.” She was so full of fun. She found everything funny and giggled at the least little thing. As a result, Vee had scores of friends and kept them. A good time is a better one if Vee is along. We don’t know what she is planning to do, but we surely wish her happiness and success. 24

EVELINE FARRINGTON 128 Pleasant Street Franklin, Mass. “Jackie” “Ev” “The world without fun is a poor one.” Here ' s a girl that was always happy. Her smiles never failed to bring an answering smile, regardless of the sex of the other party. One could always hear Eveline gaily singing a popular ditty down the corridors, not realizing, of course, that it was against the rules. She just had to show how happy she was. She loved to indulge in a heated argument and never failed to hold her side. Her ambition is to be a nurse, and then a doctor! Who wouldn’t go to Eveline for a heart ail¬ ment when she has really realized her ambition? We know you will succeed in your chosen work, “Jackie.” Dramatics 1-2-3, Dramatic Club 4- ANTHONY FICCO Alpine Place Franklin, Mass. “Tony” “Baby” “A friend in need is a friend indeed. During his four years in the Franklin High School Tony has found many friends, and in future years this will give him a decided edge over his rivals. Anthony has also taken part in and supported many school activities. He has been a valuable member of the band, and the work and time spent as a member of the Oskey committee and Junior Prom committee deserve much credit. Anthony has taken the General course through high school. He is not decided as to what he will do after graduation, but we wish him much success in whatever he undertakes. Band 1-2-3-4, Junior Prom Committee 3, Oskey Committee 4. DOMENICK FREDERICK FICCO 35 Alpine Place Franklin, Mass. “Dom” “Dina” “l am not a politician and my other habits are good.” Dina is our idea of something special. His personality is the type hard to find, for it is of the best. We admire his ability to do well- such a variety of things. His work done in the shop shows talent and real skill. His business-like manner has secured him positions as chair man of several committees, which positions he has executed with un¬ failing success. He was so popular with his fellow pupils they even composed a song in his honor to the tune of “Beautiful Girl.” “Dina m’ love” will remain in our memory long after “Beautiful Girl” has fled. Marshal 3-4, Oskey staff, Junior Prom Committee, Interclass Track 1-2-3-4, Glee Club 1-2. HAROLD FLEMING Oak Street Franklin, Mass. “Monk” “A Smile Tor Everyone. A small quiet fellow who did much for the F.H.S band, for he tooted a horn for four years and he never seemed to run out of wind. Many good laughs were provided in study hall, because of Harold’s humor, but only in study hall, for in class he was very studious. He was friends with everybody, for he was always willing to help anyone in difficulty. Our best wishes for a successful career go with him. Band 1-2-3-4, Interclass Basket Ball 2-3 4, Baseball 4. 23

WALTER ELMAN HAWKINS 51 Fales Street Franklin, Mass. “Happy” Wherever music can be heard—Happy may be found dancing. It would seem that he was very fond of the Frisco and each new step had to be conquered before he felt comfortable. His scholastic work was more or less of a bore to him during his four years here, but he found enjoyment in study hall, though he didn’t study. He was one of F.H.S.’s ardent rooters and cheered the basket ball team on to victory many times. And Happy could never be anything but happy! Junior Prom Committee. FRANCES ELIZABETH HILL 1331 West Central Street Franklin, Mass. “Fran” “Franny” A tripping dainty miss, with spirit rather high. Franny came all the way from Unionville each day to attend F.H.S., but she was so quiet we never got to know her as well as we would like to have. Her interest in music was advantageous to the school, for she helped so much by her cooperation to make our musical en¬ deavors successful. Franny always shows up at socials with the very latest dance steps, and done to perfection. May her musical talent bring her success and the aim of us all, happiness. Glee Club 1-2-3, Operetta 1-2, Interclass Basket Ball 1-2-4, Track 1, Hockey 1. GENEVIEVE HOLCOMB Lincoln Street Franklin, Mass. “Gen” Happy as the day is long. And now for Miss Giggles. Genevieve always had a smile for everyone. She was quite business-like or at least she always seemed to be in conference on the Horace Mann corner—saved paying rent she claimed. She rather agreed with the theory of evolution—she showed her stuff on the ropes in physical. We are sure that your smile and skill in physical will land you a job, which is one of the hardest things in the world to land, right now. HELEN AGATHA HOLMES 22 Reed Avenue Franklin, Mass. “Helen’ ’ A stitch in time saves nine. Helen is one of those friendly links in the chain of friendship of our class. Helen ' s smile just radiates her good spirit. Those dancing eyes, that nice complexion will surely help us always to remember her. If we think of dressmaking we should remember her well. Helen was always our class needle-craftsman. She won two prizes in it, so if any of you want any Paris tailoring done, in the future, just call up Helen. Glee Club 1-2-4, Track 1-2-4. 25 J
