EDWARD CHARLES DAILEY 100 Union Street Franklin “EDDIE” “A speedy youth in more ways than one.” Introducing the captain of 42’s undefeated basketball team, Eddie Dailey. “Eddie” has been, until recently, a quiet boy, active in sports but with little interest in girls. At present he has proven himself to be very popular with the fairer sex. In fact, we can’t keep track of his heart interests. How many of us have noticed and commented upon the springy jumps that “Eddie’’ is able to accomplish for a “high one” on the basketball court? Just keep your aim for success in the future as you did your aim for the hoop, “Eddie,” and you ' ll be right on top. Junior Prom Committee 3. Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. Baseball 2, 3, 4.

CHARLES DANGELO 32 Hutchinson Street Franklin “CHARLIE” “COUSIN” ‘‘Fun loving and gay is Charlie all day.” “Charlie” is one of our swell football players. Whenever he played, he went in the game to win. On the field or in school, “Charlie” is one of the best-natured Senior boys. Speaking of boys, “Charlie” was always seen with his cousin (which is quite unusual). “Charlie” is thinking of becoming an aviation mechanic. If he works at his favorite ambition as he did at school, we can be sure that he will succeed. In order to keep the planes flying, the United States must have “Charlie” as their mechanic. Good luck, Charlie, and “Keep ’em Flying.” Junior Prom Committee 3. Football 4. Oskey 4. Military Training 3, 4. WILLIAM W. DANGELO 18 Hutchinson Street Franklin “WILLIE” “BILL” ‘‘Always a-grinning, always a-winning , always a-feeling fine.-” “Willie,” like his cousin, is another of our football players and one of our Senior boys who is liked by everyone. Although “Willie” played only one year of football. Coach Colbert and the remainder of the football team will certainly miss his performance on the field. “Willie always pals around with “Charlie” and for cousins they get along very well. Both are always having a jolly time just for the enjoyment out of it. “Willie,” like his cousin, also wants to take up aviation mechanics. With his winning personality, he is bound to win success.

ELEANOR DeGRAZIO 68 Alpine Place Franklin “SHORTY” ‘‘Always gay and full of fun, Shorty’s a pal to everyone” Eleanor is one of our petite seniors, but that doesn ' t make much difference because as the old saying goes, “Good things come in small packages.” (They are not always noiseless, either). When laughter was about in the room, “Shorty” would be in the midst of it. (1 wonder if she laughs all the time.) She does all the time while in school. As her life work, Shorty would like to take up nursing. With her sweet smile and cherry laughter. Shorty will be the favorite as a nurse. Success to you, Shorty; success is in your way.

Franklin fog He 664 East Central Street CAROLYN COOK “COOKIE ' ’ “Aye, Every inch a Queen. Ask Cookie. She always has an answer to anyone ' s problems. She certainly has been an answer to Doc ' s problems at assembly times for one was never quite complete without her. We’ll always remem¬ ber the swell work she put into every Oskey Show especially this year’s. But these are only a few of her attributes. She is a born leader and nothing whatever appalls her. The title of the best-looking girl in the class has become hers. Cookie’s bright smile and cheery manner will bring her success we know. Junior Prom Committee 3. Senior Hop Committee 4.

Central Street Franklin “DOT” “BLOSSOM” “A smile full of cheer’’ Dot is one of the newer members of the class having entered Franklin High from Keene, N. H. at the beginning of our Junior year. Dottie has been a most welcome addition to the class not only for her cheerful, good-natured self but as a good addition to our orchestra. Dot plans to attend Wilfred Academy in Boston after graduation, but as we gazed into our crystal ball we foresaw Dottie changing from a Cook” to a ‘‘Miller.” Orchestra 3, 4. Oskey (Production) 3, 4. JOSEPH CORNETTA 69 East Central Street Franklin “JOE” “I must have music’’ Joe has been told by his many friends that he could easily make his fortune by doubling for a famous comedy star. (Three guesses who!) Joe’s ambition is to form an orchestra of his own and play at all F. H. S. dances! Joe has music in him, so we don ' t doubt that he will become a famous orchestra leader. Good luck, Joe, and keep up with your music. Junior Prom Committee 3. Hallowe’en Party Committee 3. Band 1, 2, 3, 4. Oskey 3, 4. Military Training 2, 3, 4. MARGARET ANNETTE CROSTA 246 Washington Street Franklin “MARGIE” “A little with quiet is the only diet.” A girl who always looks so neat and pretty and whose hair is the envy of her classmates — that is Margie.” Margie is a shy but pleasant member of our class. She is a de¬ voted player of basketball, and it certainly is a pleasure to watch her play. Margie” has plans of attending a hairdressing school, and we feel confident of her success.

HENRY DeGREGORIO Alpine Place Franklin “BUGSIE” “DeGREG” “Quiet is of me no friend Give me noise without end” Bugsie has been voted the class tease, and no one who knows him wonders why. He is always joking with his fellow classmates and the teachers have been no exception. He is always ready with a quip and often makes himself the butt of his own, and others’ jokes. When Bugsie really put his mind on his work, he really surprised us with his knowledge. We don’t know Bugsie ' s ambition, but if joking is one of them, he’ll probably be a future Fred Allen or Jack Benny. Win your way through life as you did in school with a joke or a smile.

ELEANOR PAULINE D’ORAZIO 87 Alpine Place Franklin “HAPPY” “Little, but, oh my!” This girl has been rightfully nicknamed Happy” for she is always smiling and good-natured. Eleanor has lovely dark hair and eyes and has many friends who enjoy her pleasant company. Happy is a good student and does her work faithfully and well. Eleanor ' s plans for the future are uncertain. We are sure though, that she would make an excellent dressmaker because of her fine work in sewing classes. Junior Prom Committee 3, Etiquette Club 2.

Every once in a while, though, you can hear a giggle and sure enough it is Helen. Helen is usually followed by an extremely long shadow, but this seldom disturbed her good nature. Di has been studying typewriting very diligently so that she may be able to secure a position as stenographer or secretary. If Di struggles as much to earn her position as she has struggled to win the badminton tournaments, she won’t be a failure. Di can always entertain her friends by playing the piano for them. Good luck, Helen, and may you always have high ideals. Junior Prom Committee 3. Glee Club 1, 2, 4. Hallowe’en Party Committee 2. Dramatics 1. JEAN FEELEY 40 East Central Street Franklin “IRISH” “JEANIE” “Wise and witty, pleasing and pretty” Jean is the typical high school girl supplying jokes for most of her pals, especially Virginia, Ruthie, Vera, and Carolyn. Jean has been chosen as the wittiest girl so that might have something to do with it. (Or may be it’s inherited from a certain sister.) Jean always attended various school activities which the school sponsored. (Mostly basketball games though. What was the attrac¬ tion, Jean?) She is planning to be a nurse as far as she knows, and we can all be sure that with her witty humor and pleasing personality she will succeed. Junior Prom Committee 3. Freshman Acquaintance Party 4.
