Franklin 12 Garden Street WILLIAM P. ELLIS “CHEEKIS” “A tripping fellow, with spirits rather high.” William is one of the tallest members of our class. He is popular with members of both sexes. We wonder what he will do without Warren Sampson. When asked a question by a teacher, he would always start “beating around the mulberry bush,’’ and give a round¬ about answer. We haven’t found out as yet what “Cheekis’ ’’ plans are for the future, but we wish him all the luck in the world in whatever he chooses to do. MARIE FINN Brook Street Franklin “RIE” “A smile for each — a friend for all.” “Rie” is always there with a smile and a helping hand when called upon. She never lacks a companion, no matter where she is going. She loves to dance, and she dances well, whether she is dancing with a good dancer or a fair one. Her smile has made many manly hearts flutter and miss a beat. ‘ ' Rie has been with us only two years, but during this time she has made many friends. We aren ' t sure of Marie’s ambitions, but neither is she. Best of luck, “Rie.’’ MAJORIE FORD Fuller Place Franklin “MARGIE” ‘‘She never has a great deal to say Her words have been deeds day after day.” “Margie” has been one of our quietest members and during her four years we have hardly known she was around. To those who really know her she is a good sport. “Margie’s” ambition is to be a secretary. If she stays as ambitious as she is now, she will make a good secretary. The world would be a much better place to live in if there were only more people like you, “Margie.” Good Luck. Commercial Club 4. Home Economics 2. BARBARA FRASER Miller Street Franklin “RED” “BARB” ‘‘Never a dull moment.” Did we hear a giggle? Oh yes, there’s Barbara. You could al¬ ways pick her out from the rest of the crowd by her pretty red hair and her brilliant smile. A little birdy has told us that at the present time her interest lies in a certain Catalano, and we do mean “Herbie.” “Barb” would like to be a telephone operator and we’re sure that when she’s on the line we’ll get no wrong numbers. Here ' s to the success of a good natured classmate and a faithful worker — Barbara “The Belle of City Mills!” Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. Hallowe’en Party Committee 1, 2, 3, 4. Dramatics 1 , 2 .

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. Beverly. Orchestra 3. Librarian 3. Junior Prom Committee 3. Blue and White 4. Commercial Club 4. Marshal 3, 4. LLOYD M. 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.

VIRGINIA FRESN 8 Charlotte Street Franklin “GINNY” “She lived the day to the fullest.” Virginia always gave the impression that one should eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die.” We are sure that she lived each day as it came, and that she enjoyed it too. We never glanced across the classroom at Virginia but she smiled back. With her friends she appeared to be a favorite and we know that with this friendly attitude towards the world that each of her days will be well worth the living. Success and happiness as each day comes, Virginia. Glee Club 2, 3, 4. Orchestra 2. Oskey 4. ANGELO GAZZOLA East Central Street Franklin “ANGIE” “He kept his head when the crowd cheered.” During his first two years in High School, Angie was a pro¬ fessional horse-man, winning many blue ribbons at the big horse shows and fairs. While handling high-strung thoroughbreds, Angie must have cultivated the patience and evenness of temper which has marked his High School career. He has a good sense of humor, and this combination makes him well liked by all. After graduating, Angelo plans to continue his education at Wentworth. Best of luck, Angelo. KENNETH R. GILDERSLEEVE 817 West Central Street Franklin “KENNY” “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” Kenny is that calm, cool, and collected young man who seems to believe that Silence is Golden.” His reserved manner, however, cannot hide that touch of clever humor and good-nature. Kenny” hunts, fishes, and traps in his spare time, as he is exceedingly fond of outdoor sports. His hobbies are, as one may readily see. closely linked with his fondest ambitions: to become a forest ranger or a game warden. He has had a lot of experience in this line of work and will probably realize his long desired ambitions. Dramatics 1. BARBARA LOUISE GRAVES Mechanics Place Franklin “BARB” “Good luck comes to those who bring sunshine wherever they go.” Whenever you see the Lincoln street bus leave, you know that Barb” is on it. Faithfulness is one of her qualities. She is one of the few of us who has a fine sense of humor. These qualities have made four years of knowing Barb” a pleasure. The Paris dressmakers certainly have a dangerous rival in Barb” if we can judge by those beautiful dresses and coats she made and the prizes she won for them. Want to know a secret? Don’t tell — Barb’s favorite name is “Albert.” With all her fine qualities she will be successful we are sure. Glee Club 2. Home Economics Club 2 (Vice President).
