fa ml KATHERINE PATRICIA COSTELLO 122 West Central Street Franklin, Mass. “KATE” “BOBBY” Quiet and shy at first is she. but soon you ' ll find her good company; With wit unexcelled, dull cares abate, under the magic smile of Kate.” Kate always looks happy; mischievous smile and twinkling eye prove that she isn’t so serious as she at first appears. Sad faces brighten when Kate’s radiant countenance appears. Although she doesn ' t belong to the Glee Club, Kate seems to find the inspiration to sing during History Class. It livens things up a good deal! Never bothering about the tune, she has all those sitting near her trying to suppress their mirth. Kate never has to worry about her marks and will surely succeed with her Irish wit and ready smile. Junior Prom 3, Dramatic Club 2, Hallowe ' en Party 4. PATRICIA CRAY 75 West Street Franklin, Mass. “PAT” As 7 treat my friend so shall I treat my enemy.” When Pat walks by, even if you do not see her, you are con¬ scious of her passage. She is one of those people who, while un¬ assuming, have nevertheless very delightful personalities which make them the joy of all their friends. We all rejoice to see Pat in our midst, and enjoy her quiet presence. If you get to know her well, you certainly will agree that she is a very good friend. All her friends know she will be successful, no matter what she undertakes. French Club 1, Commercial Club 4. FRANCIS CROTHERS 5 7 West Central Street Franklin, Mass. “FRANNY” ‘‘Never trouble trouble Till trouble troubles you.” Franny is a spirited fellow with lots of pep and energy. He seems forever in a red-hot argument. Franny played basketball for four years and was captain in his fourth year. Franny is well-known for his many “Long Toms” that saved more than one game for the home team. He has also played well for our baseball and football teams. He was always the smallest player cn the team but the one with the. most vim and vigor. We wish you luck, Franny. May you never lose your pep.

OLIVE CROWELL 4 Maple Street Franklin, Mass. “PICKLES” “Sweet as the freshest breeze at dawn, Gentle as a dove, Thou hast won due admiration Mingled with pure love.” Being the pride and joy of her teachers and the fun-loving com¬ panion of her classmates would be difficult for anyone but Olive. Appealing winsomeness, keen sense of humor, flattering interest in others, unaffected goodness arc just a few of her qualities. We could go on singing her praises ad infinitum (how are we doing, Olive?) but why completely exhaust ourselves when we can sum them up in the one word—Charming.

sm LILLIAN MAE CLARK Center Street South Bellingham, Mass. “RED” “LILLY” Quietly she walks her way; Steadfast duty fills the day. An ideal type of student is Red, who voices her opinions in the face of opposition, rather than stating them behind opponents ' backs. This hurts no one ' s feelings, but rather makes friends of would-be antagonists. More may be learned by this method, and Red is well aware that other people’s ideas broaden views on different subjects. Never holding back shyly. Red has acquired many friends because of her friendly attitude and buoyant spirit. Whatever field she chooses to enter in her life work, we know Lillian will succeed. Blue and White” Secretary 4, “Oskey” 4. JAMES COCHRANE Summer Street Franklin, Mass. “JIMMY” “TINY” “ Soft-voiced and calm, of disposition mild. Until by some foolish infant riled. A modest, unassuming youth is Tiny. Because of his quiet way, many have not had the good fortune to discover his true nature. This is rather deceiving, as Jimmy knows the force of sarcasm and believing that the tongue is mightier than the sword, acts accordingly. Without a great deal of trouble he can see through the analytical part of mathematics. Geometry and Solid are simple for him, per¬ haps because of his remarkable memory. To continue in this line, Tiny plans to attend Lowell Tech. Happy landings, Tiny. Marshal 2-3-4. ALICIA VERONICA CORR 4 3 Oak Street Franklin, Mass. “MIKE” And it ' s looked upon as very meet To give a smile to all we greet. A cute Irish coquette is she, full cf pep and enthusiasm. Mike never looks on the dark side of life, but like a true “Pollyanna” tries to find something to be glad about, no matter how difficult the task appears. Her geniality and mischievousness are the pride and delight of her friends. Because Mike has such a pleasing peron- ality, she has selected a vocation that will enable her to meet many people and acquire new friends. Mike wishes to be a hairdresser and will begin to study for this soon after leaving F. H. S. Glee Club 4, Music 2, Freshman Acquaintance 4, Marshal 4, Hallowe’en Party 4, Home Economics 4. HELEN COSTELLO 122 West Central Street Franklin, Mass. “MICKY” A genial spirit and pleasant word Make scowling faces seem absurd. Behold! A superior being in our midst. Make way, pitiful imi tators, for one who not only dares to be herself but has confidence in that self. Midst the harrassed beings that make up the greater part of our school population, Helen goes serenely on her way brightening less gifted ones with her ready wit and warming smile. As you might imagine, popularity follows, not only with her classmates, but also the faculty. This is a commendable achievement (as any aspiring student knows). Glee Club 4. Page Twenty-Five

... — ANTHONY N. D’AMELIO 23 Arlington Street Franklin, Mass. TONY” FLASH” “His mouth is stretched in happy grin, Ready to open and merrily sing.” Listen! Do you hear it? Tony is playing his accordion and everybody’s feet want to dance. Fie is the Franklin High School ' s Phil Baker, with his accordion and witty manner. When you find Flash, you usually see, accompanying him, Bruno and Louis; the three are Siamese triplets. Like the three Musketeers they back one another, whether it be a game, fight, or general good time. With this remarkable talent for music, his love of a frolic, and his characteristic grin, Tony will surely take his place in the world. Football 2-3-4, Senior Flop 4, Basketball 3. ALPHA DAVIS 95 Dean Avenue Franklin, Mass. AL” The personification of sweetness, all grace Summ’d up and closed in little.” Presenting Alpha, a gay classmate and a true friend. One of our very dainty misses, Alpha is blessed with a friendly disposition, un¬ obtrusive ways, and a becoming reserve which has a tendency to distinguish her from her far too forward contemporaries and which is, at the same time, one of the reasons why everyone finds her so appealing. If her friendliness and retiring ways have struck a re¬ sponsive chord in our hearts, her singular sweetness has caused them to burst into an unrestrained melody. PALMA ANNE DeBAGGIS 49 Ruggles Street Franklin, Mass. “Quiet, but smiling.” Most of us will remember Palma as the girl who was quiet except when showing some erring classmate how to do a certain Latin phrase correctly. Palma always seemed to have some predilection for Latin (for what reason she never disclosed) and she always engaged in any controversy regarding the subject. All in all, Palma is a great girl, both socially and mentally, thereby warranting our wishes for a happy future. Tibi optima et felicissima fortuna. Hockey 1, Dramatics 1-2, Hallowe’en Party 1, Math. Club 4. DORIS RITA DeJORDY 16 A Street Franklin, Mass. DOT” The better we know her, The better we like her.” Dot joined our class at the beginning of our third year and soon became acquainted with everyone. She is one reason for the vic¬ tories of the girls ' basketball team. Because of her height, Dot was the star jump center and it was with difficulty that an opposing team got the ball by her. She not only excels in fields which require brawn, but stands high in those which require the rarer quality of brains. We hope your winning spirit will enable you to get to your goal in life suc¬ cessfully, Dot. Basketball 3-4, Track 3-4. Page Twenty-Seven
