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.

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.

Franklin 103 Washington Street LEWIS J. CATALDO “DUKE” I shall succeed — ” Duke” was an ardent supporter and rooter for F. H. S., being at every athletic game in which the school participated. “Duke” was one of our tall, bashful boys, but he was popular with both sexes of the Senior and Freshman classes. He should have joined the de¬ bating club, as he was always debating with Miss Wiggin in her classes. His knowledge of English was the envy of all the English students. Lewis is planning to attend Massachusetts State College upon grad¬ uating. We wish him all the luck in his new studies. Marshal 1, 2, 3. MICHAEL J. CATALDO 91 Summer Street Franklin “MIKE” “SPORT” Brevity is the soul of wit.’’ A roar of laughter often discloses the whereabouts of “Mike.” one of the wittiest boys in the class. He was usually seen in the midst of a laughing group of students, of which he was one of the most popular. “Mike,” “the best dressed boy,” was the “Sport” of the class, be¬ ing very prominent in social affairs. However, this did not prevent him from being a good student, for he received good marks in his studies. After graduation “Mike” plans to attend Worcester Poly¬ technic Institute. Good luck, Mike.” Freshman Acquaintance Party 4. Junior Prom Committee 3. Football 2. Alumni Dance 4. Oskey Advertising Chairman 4. LAWRENCE J. CLARK 15 Thayer Street Franklin “CLARKIE” Every man can seek acquaintance, But friends happen.’’ “Clarkie” was a quiet, unassuming chap, but he presented a very commanding appearance as a debator. His logical mind presented con¬ vincing arguments which his opponents found difficult to meet. Un¬ doubtedly the poise acquired as a debator gave Clarkie” the air of stage presence which he exhibited as leading man in many of the school plays. Lawrence was a member of the ‘‘Camera Club,” and it is rumored that he has been offered large sums in exchange for some “candid” shots he snapped. Lawrence plans to attend the Litchburg Teachers’ College. Best of luck, Lawrence. Band 2, 3, 4. Camera Club 2, 3, 4. Debating Club 3, 4. FRANCES S. CROCHUNAS Beech Street Franklin “FRAN” A little with quiet is the only diet.’’ A shy, unassuming girl is Lrances. Although she was in the back¬ ground most of the time, she was always there. Frances has helped in the library this year and has proven herself a favorite with the pupils. The friendship of Frances and her ever faithful Mary cannot es¬ cape unnoticed. This friendship which has lasted through all their school years, we believe will last for many years to come. We are sure that you will get along as well with others, Frances; here’s wish¬ ing you luck. Commercial Club 4. Librarian 4. Nineteen Hundred Thirty-Nine Page Twenty-Five
