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

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

RICHARD JACQUES West Central Street Franklin, Mass. “Dick” Wanna buy a brush! Introducing Dick Jacques, a quiet, unobtrusive fellow who, however, was quite capable of making noise when it was called for. Dick seemed to have a great deal of common sense, or shall we say will-power? For he was never seen in the company of the weaker sex. He didn’t par¬ ticipate in any outside activities but was active in class recitation. We do not know what Dick will do when he goes out into the big wide world, but anyway we can wish him luck, and hope he succeeds in selling his brush. HOMER C. JENEST 76 Dean Avenue Franklin, Mass. “Pete” “Jakie” Nice things are wrapped in small packages. Pete was small but he was certainly a big worry for all opposing basket ball teams, for during a game it seemed as though he were everywhere at once. Not only was he active in basket ball, but he proved himself a live wire when it came to entertainment, for he worked faithfully and worked well, and on several different committees. If Pete can succeed in selling real life insurance policies, as he did in selling false policies in school, he will be a great success. Out best wishes for success go with you, Homer. Basket Ball 2-3-4, Music 1-2-3-4, Prom Committee 4, Freshmen Acquaintance Party 4, Thanksgiving Dance 4, Marshal 3 4. YVONNE JOYAL 137 Peck Street Franklin, Mass. “Von” Serene and Re solute and Still and Calm and Self-possessed. “Watch those signals, Yvonne.” You can just bet Yvonne is on the job when there is a basket ball game in progress. Athletics are not all the things we like in her. We know she is a staunch friend, and that her calmness will always help us when we need it. In the classroom Yvonne is of the best. May she ever be of the best and so have those things she wants most in life. Varsity Basket Ball 1- 2-3-4, Commercial Club 3, Marshal 4. JOSEPH LANDRY Metcalf Street Franklin, Mass. “Joe” I will be prepared and my chance will come. When we speak of that alert business-like boy, we are referring to Joe. Always up on the latest news, especially that concerning politics, he was nearly as interesting to listen to as Lowell Thomas. People say there isn’t and never will be an honest politician. Well, if Joe ever decides to enter politics, which isn’t impossible, this statement will be all wrong. Many have wondered why Joe knows so much about shoestrings, corsets, paint, and such articles. The fact that he works in J. J. Newberry ' s store after school probably explains this. Keep up the good work, Joe, and you will be rewarded. Baseball 2, Marshall 1-2-3-4. 26
