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.

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.

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.

EILEEN RUTH GRINNELL 14 Wachusett Street Franklin “I” “Graceful and useful in all she does” “I” is one of the girls whom we have taken from another school. She came to Franklin in our Junior year. Because of her sweet manner and grand personality, she quickly made many friends. Eileen is one of the business girls and plans to make office work her career, although she hasn ' t decided on the particular type of work. Success wherever you are always, “I.” Commercial Club 4. Blue and White 4. MILTON GUINARD 27 Alpine Row Franklin “MILT” “Small but Mighty’’ Meet Milton who could very easily write a book on the “Gift of Gab. His powerful voice carries through the corridors and certainly makes up for his lack in height. He ' s always prepared for a good argument with anyone else who (unfortunately) thinks he can put up a good argument, too. “Milt is undecided on the future but he has been working after school hours in a local store. Who knows? Someday he might be a member of the Retail Board of Trade. The best wishes of the class are with you always, Milton. Junior Prom Committee 3. Blue and White 4.

She is disturbed at noth¬ ing sometimes and is disturbed at everything other times. Really though. Shirley is a swell friend and the kids will never forget the fun they have had with her in all her classes. Shirley likes to talk a lot and also likes to write a lot. She writes to a certain “Hi in the army. Great success to you in the future, Shirley. Junior Prom Committee 3. Hallowe’en Party Committee 4. Orchestra 4. Oskey 1, 2, 3, 4. VIRGINIA LORRAINE HAWLEY 147 Maple Street Franklin “GINNY” “GINGER” “Care-free, clever, and sporty” Virginia came to Franklin High from Canton in our Junior year. We are sure Canton missed her not only because she is a brilliant scholar but because of her likable nature. Virginia has made many new friends of both sexes since she ar¬ rived here. “Ginger wants to take a nurses’ training course or go to college. Although she prefers college, we are sure she will succeed in whatever she undertakes to do. Glee Club 1. Oskey 4. Nineteen Hundred Forty-Two Page Twenty-Nine
