Franklin 226 West Central RUTH A. BEAUDETTE Street “RUTHIE” “Shy at first, but a good sport when known.” One of those deceiving girls. Ruthie is quiet and serious to all out¬ ward appearances, but she is really capable of much fun-making. She has the faculty of making all friends and no enemies and retaining them like a diplomat. Ruthie is another of our athletic supporters. She followed all the games and ably supported both the participants and cheering section. Ruth ' s ambitions are unknown, but if she perseveres as she has done while in school, she will be very successful in her chosen vocation. Good luck. Ruthie, and never let anything overcome your gay and very ambitious spirit. Junior Prom Committee 3. Freshman Acquaintance Party 4. Etiquette Club 2. Glee Club 1, 3. LLOYD E. BLACKWOOD 92 Pleasant Street Franklin “TEAK” “Laugh and the world laughs with you.” We have never heard very much from Lloyd while he has been with us these last four years. (Maybe he is bashful.) Lloyd seemed to be interested in sports, because he attended quite a few of the games during the seasons. He never went out for sports because he has always worked after school. Lloyd doesn ' t know what he plans to do in the future. But what¬ ever you do, success to you, Lloyd. Military Training 3, 4. DORIS M. BRENNAN 121 Grove Street Franklin “DOT” “A girl with a very pleasing smile Making our classes worth while.” Dot is a pleasant and attractive girl who has many friends. She is quiet, but we do like her company. She has proven to be a good sport not only in classes but also in athletics. Dot’s friendly manner will be a great help to her in her chosen field. She has the desire to become a nurse and without the slightest doubt she will prove to be a most capable one. Junior Prom Committee 1. Freshman Acquaintance Party 1. Hallowe’en Party Committee 1.

(He should make more noise. Don’t you think so?) He is very sociable and has a very nice personality, so I have found out by his friends. Elwyn also enjoys sports very much, but he never went out for the teams for reasons unknown. He has no definite plans for the future but in whatever he does plan to do, all his classmates wish him the best of luck. Basketball 3. Oskey 4. Military Training 3, 4.

429 Union Street Franklin “APPIE” “Mirth with thee I choose to live” Here is a girl who needs no introduction. Everyone kn ws “Appie.” She is always in demand by teachers and students alike. “Appie has a personality that has brought her many friends. She can usually be found surrounded by a noisy crowd who are listening to her plans for a new prank or joke. (The funny part about this is that Appie is usually the last one to catch on to a ' new joke.) Appie is an A-1 pupil and has completed the secretarial course with the greatest success, graduating as valedictorian of the class. Need we say more? Blue and White (Literary Editor) 4.

Why aren ' t they all content like me” “Smilie is Franklin High School’s gift to the fairer sex. He has decidedly earne d the title of Clark Gable for more reasons than one. Smilie is a boy who is full of pep and cheerfulness. Everyone enjoys his presence in class because he keeps the ball rolling with his clever remarks. Being an able helper of Doc’s, Angie has enjoyed many tricks and now he boasts that he knows them by heart. Three cheers to Smilie for a successful future. Keep up with your good cheer, because we all appreciated it. Marshal 4. Ring Committee 3, 4. Freshman Acquaintance Party 4. Hal¬ lowe’en Party Committee 2, 3. Dramatics 1, 3. 4. Orchestra 1.

MELVILLE BAKER Longhill Road Franklin “MEL” “I resolve to study conscientiously” Now here is a boy who has a way of taking life easy but who suc¬ ceeds in whatever he undertak es. Mel is a good-looking boy who could easily be pictured in fashion magazine with the latest of men ' s wear. Mel has talked to many of us on his interest in aviation and if this is to be his chosen field we can rest assured that he will prove to be a credit to us all. Junior Prom Committee 3. Dramatics 1. Military Training 2. HAROLD BARNES, Jr. United States Navy “BUD” “BUDDY” ‘‘Those who know — do” Buddy’’ is a likable fellow, always kidding someone.

The Navy will have no trouble with Bud. as he has a good personality and is easy to get acquainted with. We admire you for your patriotism. Bud!

228 Summer Street Franklin “GIN” “GINNY” “A Smil e full of sunshine A Heart full of song. Ginny” is a friendly and good natured girl who has a lot of friends. She has been a loyal rooter at all F. H. S. games. Although Ginny is quiet in class, there is a rumor that she can make a lot of noise when she wants to. A pet peeve of Ginny’s is that in English she usually has the honor of being the first girl called upon to give her oral composition. (Do you blame her?) Keep up your giggles, Ginny, for we know they will lead you to an enjoyable future. Junior Prom Committee 3. Freshman Acquaintance Party 4. Hallowe ' en Party Committee 2, 3. Etiquette Club 2.

He is very sociable, and has an interesting personality. Jimmy has combined sports with studies and done wonderfully well in both. He played basketball and football and deserves much credit for his performances in both. He also has been on the honor roll be¬ cause of his high grades in his studies. As to his life work, Jimmy has not as yet decided, but in whatever he may plan to do his friends are all wishing him the best of luck. Junior Prom Committee 3. Football 3, 4. Basketball 3, 4.

CATRO 79 West Street Franklin “SAM” “He has won just praise that he deserved.” Sammy is one of our most studious fellow students. He takes life seriously and is one of the few who believes in having his homework done daily. Sammy doesn’t seem to care much for the girls, but he did take a certain girl in our class to the Hop last year. Sammy is well-talented in dramatics and has given many successful performances. He plans to go on to college. We wish him loads of luck in what¬ ever he undertakes in the future. He deserves it! Junior Prom Committee 3. Freshman Acquaintance Party 4.

RUTH MARIE COMOLLI 234 Lincoln Street Franklin “RUTIIIE” “Dimples in her cheeks, dimples in her chin, You ' re always sure of lots of fun when Ruth comes rushing in” Ruthie has been chosen as the best-dressed senior girl. (She always did look nice didn’t she?) Of course, no added remarks need be made about her hair, which, as you probably know, is her own natural wave. Ruth has more than the usual share of attractiveness and with her personality plus, she will get along. Ruth has not decided yet whether to be a hair dresser or an art de¬ signer, but we are sure she will be a credit to whichever she chooses. Junior Prom Committee 3. Blue and White 4.
