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

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.

NICK DANGELO 32 Hutchinson Street Franklin “NICK” “Personality is the key to happiness.” Although “Nick is always very quiet, his pleasing personality is ever in evidence. As a close friend of the “Green Jackets,” he is known to all. He didn’t participate in sports because of “doctor’s orders but was always present at the games. We know not what the future holds in store for him, but we feel sure he will succeed. Basketball 1. PHYLLIS MARJORY DARLING Off Fisher Street Franklin “PHIL” “Nice things are wrapped in small packages.” Like to have you meet “Phil, one of the “shorties” of our class. But, in spite of her shortness, she makes her presence known to every¬ one. Who could help but notice her smile and that black wavy hair, which was the envy of all the girls? We understand “Phil is one of those who has a very special in¬ terest located in well-known Bellingham. “Phil was one of our efficient office girls, too. She surely will be a valuable addition to any office if she takes up that work. Here ' s to your success for the coming years, “Phil. Hallowe’en Committee 1, 3. Band 2, 3. Blue and White 4.

ALDEN BURTON DAVIS 95 Dean Avenue Franklin “DRIBBLE” “I dare do all that may become a man; who dares do more is none.” Alden was that trumpet player whom we all called “Horace Heidt.” For this reason, he was one of the most popular students in the class. His “happy-go-lucky” attitude made him a delightful personage in any group. He is good-natured and likes a good time. He played Basketball and Football in his spare time and indulged in a game of pool now and then. Alden wants to pass several Civil Service exams in order to obtain a good Gov’t job. He has ideas of joining the Navy and may carry them out. Band 1, 2, 3, 4. Marshal 1, 2, 3. Football 3. ARTHUR DAYIAN 169 Maple Street Franklin “ART” “You’ve got to be a football hero.” To look at “Art one might think he was a very quiet young man. but looks are deceiving, and “Art’s” case is no exception. When he gets on the football field, he certainly can hold his own with all op¬ ponents. Being a speedy and flashy “end, he helped his team gain victories. With his quiet, good-natured personality “Art” has found his way into the hearts of his classmates. His main interest and hobby being sports, which he proved to us in his English themes, sports will possibly turn out to be his life’s work. Best of luck, “Art!” Football 4.
