CHARLES GORDON BOUCHER 47 Cottage Street Franklin “BUTCH” “Not from the stars I my judgment pluck.” Gordon is one of our wittiest classmates and was a very popular student. When he was a member of a class, that class would immedi¬ ately turn into the best liked class in school because of his timely re¬ marks and his never-failing sense of humor. We ll never forget Gordon in the Sophomore French Class, when he was called upon to read some French passage. Immediately he would clear his throat, adjust his glasses, and then begin to read the passage in his own French dailect, which would be followed by an outburst of laughter from the class. Good luck Gordon. Dramatics 1, 2, 3, 4. Biology Club 2. HENRY C. BOURBEAU 269 Union Street Franklin “BOO BOO” “Laugh and the world laughs with you.” Henry is a quiet easy going chap, who seldom ‘‘gets sore at any¬ body. He has a good sense of humor and was often the instigator of pranks on classmates or teachers, some of which caused his ap¬ pearance in session hall. It is rumored that Henry could cause a laugh, even in that grim place. He played in the band for two years, and was a valuable addition to the reed section. Following graduation. Henry plans to go to work. We wish him success. Band 1, 2. Junior Prom Committee 3. RAY BRENNAN 121 Grove Street Unionville “TWERP O’BRIEN” “Slow and steady wins the race.” Is anyone in search of a ‘‘sports writer?’’ He’ll find the answer to his problem in Twerp, who proved a valuable asset to the Blue and White during his four years. Much of the success of the class paper was due to Twerp’s ably written sports section. He is also an excellent student and is very humorous at times when he manages to get in his two cents worth. He hopes to become a Sports Writer” and with him go the best wishes of the class. Blue and White 1, 2, 3, 4. Freshman Acquaintance Party Committee 1. Editorial Committee of Oskey 4. Dramatics 1, 2. DOROTHY MAY BROWN Union Street Franklin “DOTT1E” “SUGAR” “Petite she was, yet seemed so tall.” Dorothy has been one of the quieter members of our class but still had that quality about her that showed she was very popular with those who really knew her. Always ready to greet every acquaintance with a smile and cheery hello,” she made you feel as though she wanted to be friends with the world. We feel sure, Dot, that with your quiet and engaging ways you will never lack a friend. We hope that you never do, and that Lady Luck may never pass you by. Marshal 1, 2, 3.

ALDO A. BARTELLONI 62 Wachusett Street Franklin “KELLY” “He who loves and lets love is loved by all. Aldo might have been seen almost anywhere in the midst of a group of laughing boys. His ready wit and good humor have long been a subject of amusement to the students. He is exceedingly popular, which fact can be attested to by any senior. Aldo plays golf, goes horseback riding, and is very fond of fishing. His baseball achievements have also won him a good amount of fame. He is extremely desirous of becoming a lawyer or a radio announcer in the future. His strong clear voice will doubtless be a valuable asset in attaining either goal. Marshal 1, 2, 3. Dramatics 1. FRANCIS C. BARTOLOMEI 36 Hutchinson Street Franklin “FRANNY” “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.” “Franny” was seldom heard from, but he was willing to help out in anything whenever asked. He was an all around sport. “Franny” was on our football, basketball, and baseball team, and was outstand¬ ing in every game. We do not know what “Franny’s” plans are for the future, but we wish him all the luck in the world in whatever he chooses to do. Basketball 2, 3, 4. Baseball 2, 3, (Captain 4). Football 4. MARTHA ELIZABETH BISHOP Spring Street Franklin “PEE WEE” “Better to be small and shine Than to be great and cast a shadow.” A cheerful friendly member of our Class is Martha, who. when she isn’t wisecracking, is arguing with Mr. Fitzpatrick. We wonder if her success in math class has anything to do with her being in Mr. Fitzpatrick’s room after school! Martha is always ready to put her shoulder to the wheel whenever a friend needs help and is a conscientious as well as ready worker. Her apitude for making everyone comfortable makes it seem as though she should become a successful nurse, the vocation which she has chosen to pursue. French Club 3. Latin Club 3. Dramatic 1, 2. Blue and White 4. Oskey Committee 4. IDAMAE E. BORMET Washington Street Franklin “IDA” “Quiet yet pleasing is she.” Idamae was one of the few quiet, but pleasing girls in our class. She was seldom heard from, but her amiable manner conquered for her many friends. Idamae’s ability as an artist won for her the honor of contributing to the art section of previous Oskeys. Ida” and Shirley have been inseparable throughout high school and their steadfastness deserves notice. Idamae plans to enter the Rhode Island School of Design and we wish her the best of everything.

JOHN ALFRED BRUNELLI 67 Alpine Place Franklin “John Brunelli without.” “BRUN” “All work and no play makes a man dull, not gay.” A great personality with a great amount of humor is “Brun. His ambition is to become a certified accountant and he has already started to fulfill it as he is employed in his spare time at a local bakery. This is not work for Brun” — it’s a pleasure. As a good-natured, ambitious, hard worker, he is certain to become a first class” ac¬ countant. A more friendly and sociable chap can rarely be seen, and this will, without a doubt, be a help in his success. The best wishes of the class are with you, Brun.” Camera Club 3. Junior Prom 3. ELYNOR P. BUFFONE 36 Pinehurst Road Franklin “BUFFY “What ' er she did was done w ith so much ease, In her alone ’twas natural to please.” Where’s Elynor?” Have you seen Elynor?” These phrases quickly became the pass-words of our class. Elynor was the busiest girl in school, being Editor-in-Chief of the Blue and White; Editorial Chair¬ man; member of the Varsity Basketball Team besides serving on va¬ rious committees and keeping her date book” straight. Elynor turned out to be Doc’s female “discovery” of our class. Never having been on the stage before her senior year, she won her way into the hearts of her classmates, playing many leading roles. The high school and its students will miss Elynor and her famous” smile. Good luck, Elynor. Hallowe’en Party 1. Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. Commercial Club 4 (President). Blue and White 4. Dramatics 4.

CAMPBELL Emmons Street Franklin “LIL” “Jovial as the day is long.” If you heard a giggle which took you off your feet and sent a chill up your spine, it was none other than Lil.” ‘ ' Lil” was popu¬ lar among her friends, both male and female. She was one of the very few who could squeeze an A” from Mr. Rutledge. Always ready with a witty remark she will make herself popular. Lil” aspires to be a beautician and may she sail her waves to suc¬ cess without getting seasick! Marshal 3. Library 3, 4. Debating Club 4. Junior Prom Committee 3. Hallowe’en Party Committee 2.

Blessed with a great sense of humor which often got him into hot water, it was not like Milton to stifle his healthy laugh. Life was not all a joke to Cap,” however, for he worked to re¬ ceive good marks. Milton was a member of the Three Musketeers,” and his social life occupies a large part of his time. We wish him the best of luck at Boston University, which he plans to attend. Ring Committee 2, 3, 4. Junior Prom 3. Blue and White 3, 4. Football 2, 3. brench Club 3. Marshal 2, 3.
