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

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

CHARLES LAVIOLETTE Oak Street Franklin, Mass. Charlie” Music’s Slave Music is Charlie’s talent. His skill in playing the clarinet and saxo¬ phone, and in singing, has made him invaluable as a member of the band and orchestra. The jazz band of which he is a member played at many school socials and was liked and appreciated by all the students. Charlie also has a sense of humor which was probably more applauded by the students than by the teachers. Charlie’s interest in music urged him to continue in that line. Good luck, Charles. Track 1-2, Orchestra 1-2, Band 1-2-3-4, Junior Prom Committee 3- DOROTHY LINDFELT Pond Street Franklin, Mass. Dot’’ Her face is fair, her heart is true. Ever since entering our class Dorothy has been one of our most popu¬ lar and most respected girls. She was always glad to take part in any class activity, which made her very busy. Studying seemed to come natural to Dot, so she found it quite easy to do her class work and get good marks. Although her day’s program was usually a full one, she always seemed to find time for a certain young man in the class. In case you don’t know already, it was our presiding officer. What a lucky fellow he is. As long as Dot lives up to her noble Franklin High record, she will master any obstacle she may meet in future days, and her life will be a worth while one. Marshal 2-3-4, Dramatics, Basket Ball 2-3, Junior Treasurer. ARMANDO ALEXANDER LOMBARDI 71 North Park Street Franklin, Mass. Butch Baron” Al Music washes away from the soul the dust of every day life. Some day when you’re listening to your favorite orchestra over the radio-—concentrate on the tenor sax—it ' s the Baron!,—for he’s made good in his chosen profession. F.H.S. will surely go on the rocks with¬ out its star sign printer and athletic promotor. Watch out for those bets, Butch—you may not always be as lucky in the future as you have been in the past. In fact, we hope not! Football 1-2-3-4, Band 2-3, Oskey Staff 4, Baseball 2-3-4, Marshal 2-3-4, Basket Ball Manager 4, Junior Prom Committee 3, Freshman Acquaintance Party Committee 4. RAYMOND LOUGEE Union Street Franklin, Mass. Ray Ca-pable of great things. If you are walking down a corridor in F.H.S. and you hear a loud guffaw, then Ray is somewhere within the radius of a mile or so. Ray is one of the few who stuck to math for four years, but not in vain. He was another valuable member of the band, and contributed much to its success. Also he was in the orchestra, and in that organization he labored diligently under Mr. Webber ' s direction for four years. Ray is the type of person who will consider both sides of the question carefully before he sets forth his viewpoints. Because of this fact and because of his broadmindedness, we are sure he will succeed.
