GUY EMERSON Park Road, Franklin, Mass. “Emma” A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the best of men.” Usually a model student, but sometimes a mischievous one is Emma, one of the class comedians. His innocence after an outburst deceives the most discerning teacher. Alone, he is the quietest of the quiet, but when he is with his own special friends, his wit readily bubbles out in all its glory. Classes are never dull when Emma is at his best. In athletics, students have a great time watch¬ ing Emma hopping up and down cheering the team. Next year he plans to attend college and we are sure that Emma will attain his desired goal. Basketball 1-2-3, Baseball 3, Co-Captain 4, Hockey 4, Class President 3, Football 4. SUSAN ELEANOR ESTES Scott Hill Road Bellingham, Mass. “SUE” How wise and calm she seems to be, So quiet—we shall never know.” Susan comes from the quiet little town of Bellingham and brings a lot of its good qualities with her. She is about the quietest girl in school, but like all non-talkative people she works. Susan has la¬ bored industriously for our journals, especially the Oskey, but no one realizes that, because she never says a word about what she has done. The last year, however, Susan learned to do a new thing, blow her own horn. She joined the band, and was a very valuable addi¬ tion. High credit for her list of “deeds.” Melting Pot 1, Band 4, Math. Club 4, “Blue and White” 4, Hallowe ' en party 4, Oskey 4. HAROLD FREDERIC FALLS 30 Fales Street Franklin, Mass. “PETE” Handsomeness is not a snare. When calmness added makes a pair.” Pete is what is known as a good fellow. He is friendly to every¬ one and is a good pal. As for his classes he gets along very well in them, having little trouble with any assignment. He also has an eye and an aim, as his pitching for four years on the baseball team shows. He has been the team ' s standby and the Blue and White will miss his steady pitching. Next fall Pete intends to enter college. Good luck and good ball. Pete. Baseball 1-2-3-4. Basketball 4, Hallowe’en Party 3, Marshal 1- 2-4. JOHN FITZPATRICK Dale Street Franklin, Mass. “JOHNNY” Steady buzz and steady drone, He murmurs along in an undertone.” Johnny was our senior debater. No matter how many were on the other side, who they were, or what the question was, he could always be depended on to give a fight. Fight he would until the opposition gave up or admitted he was right, as not infrequently happened. In spite cf this tendency, he was always cheerful and never held a grudge more than a few minutes. Upon finishing school, he plans to attend the “First National Col¬ lege.” Hallowe ' en Party 2, Jr. Prom, (decorating committee) 1-2-3. Page Twenty-Nine

RALPH DeLUCIA 240 Summer Street Franklin, Mass. In all the fields of sports Steadily to the enemy he sends retorts. Which make them sadly view The things they thought they were to do.” Ralph returned here at the end of his sophomore year, from New York, after an absence of four years. He quickly became accustomed to the change and has succeeded in all his classes since. In the two years preceding his return, Ralph took part in all the sports. Here he has continued, playing two years of basketball and football. The future is still a closed book to Ralph, but soon he will fill in the blank pages successfully, we are sure. Football 3-4, Basketball 3-4. JOHN DeNAPOLI 2 7 Washington Street Franklin, Mass. A quiet, unobtrusive lad, is he, 71s anywhere you are apt to see.” Although he is naturally quiet when quiet is the thing, John makes plenty of noise when that is proper. As a freshman he joined the “new band, under Mr. Patty, there to learn to toot the trumpet. In the orchestra he exchanged the trumpet for a banjo, which he strummed vigorously. John has enjoyed these activities very much, as those with him have enjoyed his presence. The future which lies ahead is as yet undecided for John. What¬ ever it may contain, however, his classmates wish him every success. Band 1-2-3-4, Orchestra 1-2-3-4. RUTH DOWLING 330 Lincoln Street Franklin, Mass. “DARLING” “RUTHIE” ‘‘Unruffled, calm, and appearance sleek. For these no farther need you seek. Ruth personifies neatness with a capital “N.” Her affable manner draws many to her. She always attends the social functions of the school, a fact which proves she is a faithful backer of the term “school spirit,” and also enjoys the society of her friends. Ruthie is a good sport, playing the game of life fairly and squarely. She is a true friend in times of trouble, doing her utmost to create a cheerful and pleasant atmosphere. Ruth chooses to be a nurse, at which vocation she is sure to succeed. Glee Club 2-3-4, Junior Prom. 3, Bicycle Club 3-4, Treasurer 3, Home Economics Club President 4, Marshal 4, WILLIAM DUMAS 198 East Central Street Franklin, Mass. “BILLY” A mischievous dark-eyed piping Pan, Softly thru the woods he ran. The little fellow in our class was “Billy.” Though he was so quiet that half the time we didn’t know he was about, he held his own in the classrooms. Billy ' s sax playing won him many laurels and he proved a dis¬ tinct aid to the band and orchestra while he played in them. His ardent school spirit prompted him to attend all the games and parties, whether he cared about going or not. He isn’t certain what he is going to do. but we are sure he will succeed. Band 1-2-3-4, Orchestra 1-2-3-4. Page Twenty-Eight

EILEEN KATHRYN FOLEY 5 1 Marvin Avenue Franklin, Mass. “The days of our youth are the days of our glory.’’ If anyone in the class is looking for some fun. he never needs to go far, because it is right around the corner whenever Eileen is near. She is always bubbling over with pep and mirth. Drawing pic¬ tures is one of her favorite amusements, and many a grinning cari¬ cature has delighted an interested audience. When she is not busy with homework, Eileen’s bits of humor are gratefully received by toiling neighbors. Mischievous and happy-go-lucky, Eileen will meet her future experiences with as much enthusiasm as she has shown in those she encountered at F. H. S. Glee Club 1-2-3. CLARA FOSS 483 West Central Street Franklin, Mass. “A sympathetic listener to other people’s woe Brings a ray of sunshine wherever she may go.’’ Clara is one of those rare “finds. Instead of doing all the talk¬ ing, she listens to you. When there is a particular task to be done that is distasteful to her, Clara doesn’t try to “pass the buck,’’ but willingly undertakes the work. Clara respects authority; if she is told to do a certain thing, she’ll do it to the best of her ability without grumbling or procrastinating. Clara is a good sport, a good worker, and a good friend. With these qualities to her credit she can ' t fail in the future. ANTHONY PHILIP FRENETTE 27 Washington Street Franklin, Mass. “FROGGY” “TONY” “A likeable chap with manner easy. His very words and acts are breezy.’’ Introducing Tony, light-hearted and light-footed. Flow he keeps up in classes is a mystery to his friends, for his numerous engage¬ ments allow him no time for study. Many times Tony’s wit has come to the rescue. (A clever excuse is sometimes worth an A with a broad-minded teacher.) So, Tony dances merrily on, for he really can, there is no question about that, and there are few in¬ deed who don’t know it. Perhaps Tony takes it more seriously than we think and who knows but what Tony ' ll be a professional dancer? Music 1, Marshal 4, Dramatics 1-2. MARY GALUZA Scott Hill Road Bellingham, Mass. “MARY” “GAL” “Work a little, play a little.” Mary, a charming and likeable girl, hails from Bellingham. With her pleasing personality, Mary found no difficulty in making friends. Mary is talented in toe dancing and we know that she ' ll go far in that field. She was the acrobatic dancer in the Oskey Jubilee” which was one of the reasons for its big success. Gal plans to join a dancing troupe and travel on the road. We wish her the best of luck. Some day we’ll be saying—“We knew her when—■” Oskey Jubilee 3, Marshal 4. Page Thirty
