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. Oskey (Production) 2, 4. HELEN JEAN EASTMAN 56 Dean Avenue Franklin “DP’ “HONEY” “She is pretty to walk with and witty to talk with.” Di is one of the quieter members of our class. 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.

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. Football 4. Oskey 4. Military Training 3, 4. 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.

ROBERT FOX 103 Dean Avenue Franklin “BOB” Eat, drink, and be merry.” “Bob” is a swell kid, but we didn ' t see enough of him. “Bob” liked to play hookey most of the time — or were you playing hookey, “Bobi”’ Seriously, Bob is a good student, very quick to learn, and a grand pal. He has done a lot for Military Training in the position of Captain. Whatever you do when you leave F H. S., “Bob,” you should be a big success. Junior Prom Committee 3. Football 2, 3. Dramatics 1.

He seems quite shy, but we only see him in school (so who knows?) Johnny was chosen as the cutest high school Senior boy. (Don ' t run. girls.) “Johnny” was a member of our undefeated basketball team, and we certainly are proud of him. Johnny was always being teased (mostly by girls and a teacher.) As his career, “Johnny” has decided to be an aviator. With him in the United States Air Corps, I am sure victory is bound to be with us. Loads of luck to you, “Johnny.” Marshal 1 .

CAROLYN GEROMINI 61 King Street Franklin “CARRIE” A Stitch in time saves nine” “Carrie” is a pretty little girl who is inclined to be a bit on the shy side. “Carrie” doesn ' t seem to have much to say, but she is well liked by her schoolmates. “Carrie is the domestic type and likes sewing and cooking very much. Carolyn wants to attend a dressmakers’ school in Boston when she graduates. We wish you luck, Carolyn, and hope you succeed in your chosen career. Junior Prom Committee 3. Etiquette Club 2. Home Economics 1, 2, 4. LOUIS GRICI 664 Union Street Franklin “LOUIE” Silence is golden” “Louie” is one of the very few boys who know how ' to maintain silence. We never heard very much from him in High School but whenever he was asked to do anything, he would always assist as much as possible. He never went out for any sports for reasons we do not know. It’s too bad. too, because he would certainly have helped us during our football season. As his career work, “Louis” does not definitely know what to do. Whatever you do, “Louie,” success to you.
