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.

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.

ELIZABETH ANNE D’ORAZIO 87 Alpine Place Franklin “BETTY” “Always ready, always there Always willing to do her share.’’ Is someone in need of a helping hand? ‘ Betty” is there to help if she can, and she usually can. One thing she was always willing to do was to provide humor. She isn ' t a very big girl, which proves that good things do come in small packages. What she lacked in quantity she made up in qual¬ ity. Also, her scholarship was of a grade to satisfy all demands. What more could be asked to make an ideal classmate? Good luck, Betty,” and may you succeed. Commercial Club 4. Year Book Editorial Committee 4. Oskey 4. HELENA MAE DWYER Chestnut Street Franklin “SHORTY” “Good Mind, Good Find.” A brilliant mind plus a sincere personality equals Helena. She was one of our best students and her knowledge in every subject was amazing. She was the type of pupil that delighted the heart of any teacher. Her studious nature however, did not prevent her from par¬ ticipating in any gay activities. Helena was one of those rare students who studied for the love of it, and not because it was assigned as homework. We are certain that this valuable trait will help lead Helena on the road to success. Marshal 2. Library 2, 3. Blue and White 4. Commercial Club 4. Liter¬ ary Editor of Oskey 4. Oskey 3. BEVERLY BECKWITH EDWARDS ■829 West Central Street Franklin “BEV” “It is the quiet worker who succeeds.’’ Although she is quiet, she has been a hard worker. We shall prob¬ ably see Beverly sitting on top of the world looking down at the rest of us, and we know that sitting on top of the world, she will still be a friend to all of us. Beverly’s ambition is to be a nurse. Can’t you just imagine her easing the pains of the sick? With her quiet comforting ways and her willingness to work, we know she will succeed. Best of luck.

ELLIS S3 Fales Street Franklin “SPORT” “Ask and thou shalt receive.’’ Lloyd is that tall good-looking fellow whom the girls were con¬ tinually trying to Make.” He is an excellent sport at anything he does, as his nick name indicates. He was very popular with his fel¬ low students. His cheerful attitude and witty remarks caused much amusement among the members of the class. Lloyd likes to go fishing and swimming, play basketball, and has often been seen on the ballroom floor. He hopes to attend an en¬ gineering school after graduation, and with application of untiring ambition he will succeed. Marshal 2, 3. Hallowe’en Party 4. Page Twenty-Eight Nineteen Hundred Thirty-Nine
