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. Commercial Club 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.

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

a fos? Keg CHARLES S. DAYIAN 169 Maple Street Franklin “CHARLIE” “CHAS” “Short of stature, quick of wit.’’ “Charlie,” as he was known to his friends, was one of the most quiet boys of our class. He wasn’t known to everyone, but those who did know him knew him as a true and loyal friend. “Charlie” was a very good student. In his first three years at F. H. S. he was never seen without his pals. We understand “Charlie is becoming very religious lately, hav¬ ing his heart set on having a Bishop in the family. We also learned that “Charlie” is interested in studying Diesel after graduating. The best wishes of the class are with you, “Charlie.” HENRY R. De BAGGIS 72 Alpine Place Franklin “HANK” “A kinder friend has no man.” Besides being a great little basketball “star,” “Hank” is a jolly lad, willing to take part in any form of amusement that may occur. He is a lover of all sports and usually attends the games if not in the lineup. “Hank” is seldom seen without “Mike” DeGrazio except when he went to see his “intended.” Whatever he attempts in years to come, we wish him the best of luck. Basketball 4. MICHAEL DeGRAZIO 68 Alpine Place Franklin “MIKE” “Where there’s a will, there ' s a way.” “Mike” is the type that one likes on sight. His cheerful counten¬ ance and jovial ways would make any pessimist gay. He is exceed¬ ingly popular with both sexes and has a very charming personality. “Mike’s” hobby is basketball, as one can readily observe when seeing him in action. As a matter of fact, he is a promising player for the future Town Team. The height of “Mike’s” ambition is to own and operate a reasonably prosperous business, and, if he sticks to his motto, he will doubtless achieve it. Best wishes, “Mike.” Marshal 1. Boat Club 2. Basketball 4. ANTHONY L. Di PARDO 49 School Street Franklin “TONY” “Of soul sincere, in action faithful, and in honor clear.” “Tony” was one of the most popular members of our class. His brown eyes were the envy of all. Besides being a good student, he was one of Doc’s actors, being in practically all of Doc’s plays. We have learned that “Tony” has been going to Norwood lately with “Nick” Muccillo. All we have to say is, keep away from Nor¬ wood, “Tony,” or you’ll get “Bernie,” “Bernie.” “Tony” plans to attend Northeastern University in preparation for his study of law. Good Luck, “Tony.” Dramatics 1, 2, 3, 4. Band 1, 2, 3, 4. Orchestra 1, 3, 4. Biology Club 2 (Treasurer). Marshal 1, 2, 3. Blue and White 4. Oskey Editorial Committee 4. Oskey 3, 4.
