WILLIAM ROGER BRUNELLI 19 Dale Street Franklin, Mass. “ROGE” Witty, sociable, good-natured and cute, All of these things—and more to boot.” Introducing Roger, a boy who’s always cracking a joke, keeping everyone laughing, or talking in a voice that doesn’t seem to be his own. There was no doubt in anyone ' s mind when Roger was chosen wittiest boy, best-natured boy, and one of the two most sociable boys. Roger did not go out for sports, but he made it up to us in many other ways by keeping everyone laughing and happy. After graduation, Roger plans to join one of the branches of the armed forces, so you Japs’’ take warning. Junior Prom Committee 3. Freshman Acquaintance Committee 4. Military Training 2, 3, 4.

ALICE TERESA BUCKLEY 219 Union Street Franklin, Mass. “TOODY” Life is what you make it.” Now we’ll introduce you to Toody.” She is one of our quieter girls. At least that is what people say who don’t know her. It is true enough, though, that not very much has been heard from her. She was always present at the basketball and football games and was almost always present at dances. Toody” hasn ' t decided for the future yet, but we know that she will be a success at whatever she chooses as a vocation. Our best wishes for your success, “Toody.” Junior Prom Committee 3.

EILEEN ANNE BUFFONE 36 Pinehurst Road Franklin, Mass. “BUFFY” “SQUEAKY” “BUFF” Again we have a little, but oh, my!” Here we have “Buffy.” She is one of our jolly, carefree, and witty girls. If a group of girls were about laughing, “Buffy” would be the center of attraction. Though a wee bit small, she ex¬ celled on the basketball court. Though “Buffy” enjoyed a good time it did not keep her away from her studies. She would always be on hand to help, whether it was for the benefit of our class or the school. In the future “Buffy” plans to continue her Secretarial Course. Whoever gets “Buffy” for a secretary will certainly be fortunate. May you have the best of luck in your chosen career, “Buffy.” Junior Prom Committee 3. Freshman Acquaintance Committee 4. Hal¬ lowe’en Party Committee 1, 2, 3, 4. Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4.

WILLIAM JAMES BURKE 46 Dale Street Franklin, Mass. “BILL” All work and no play makes ‘Bill’ a dull boy.” A great personality with a great amount of humor is “Bill.” A roar of laughter often discloses the whereabouts of “Bill,” one of the wittiest and noisiest boys of our class. “Billy” works in the self-service Stop Shop store after school. However, this does not prevent him from being a good student. “Bill” is also a good sports fan. “Bill” plans to join the Navy in the future. The class extends to him gobs of luck for success in his chosen career. Military Training 2, 3, 4. Oskey 2, 3, 4. Band 1, 2. Dramatics 3. Nineteen Hundred Forty-Three Page Twenty-Five

PHYLLIS ANN BISCOTTI IS Ray Hill Franklin, Mass. “PHYLL” “Serious or gay, which e’er it be, Phyllis is always good company.” Phyllis was a very quiet worker, but her sweet nature was always appreciated by all her classmates. Phyllis has gone through four years of high school with a jolly “hello and a smile for all her classmates. She has attended many school activities, and we know she enjoyed herself. We wish you luck in the future, “Phyll.” You can’t help but succeed. Hallowe’en Party Committee 3, 4. Basketball 4. Oskey 4. Etiquette Club 1. HELEN FRANCES BRENNAN Lincoln Street Franklin, Mass. “Gentle thoughts and calm desires.” Those who were not closely acquainted with Helen thought she was one of our more quiet members. Those who know Helen well have an altogether different opinion. Helen is the proud possessor of dimples. Every time she smiles she makes a new friend. Her pleasant personality and pleasing dis¬ position will help her to be a success in the future. Best of luck and much success to you, Helen. Hallowe ' en Party Committee, 1, 4. Blue and White 4.

MARY AGNES BROWN 6 Cottage Court Franklin, Mass. “BROWNIE” “When you have nothing to say, say nothing.” Mary is one of the less boisterous memb ers of our class, but when called upon in a classroom she always had an answer. Mary is willing to lend a helping hand wherever she can and she may be depended upon. Her good nature and friendliness towards all classmates has made her well liked in high school. For the future, Mary ' s plans are not known, but we wish her lots of luck. Oskey 2, 3. Glee Club 1. LAURABELLE MAE BRUNELLI 67 Alpine Place Franklin, Mass. “LAURIE” “Success treads on the heels of every right effort.” “Laurie,” though a bit on the quiet side, has won the respect of both the students and the teachers. She is what a teacher dreams of in a student. “Laurie” was outstanding in all of her subjects. She excelled in two of the hardest subjects, Latin and mathematics. “Laurie” did not let her studying interfere with her social life. She was always present at the basketball and football games. “Laurie” doesn ' t know exactly what she wants to do when she graduates, but we know that wherever she continues her studies, she will come through with flying colors.

44 Worsted Street Franklin, Mass. “GINNY” Cutest, most popular, typical girl. In Virginia Cataldo we’ve found a pearl.’’ In our recent voting for class statistics “Ginny” was chosen “cut¬ est girl,” “most popular girl,” and “the typical high school girl.” Each title fits her very well. She has taken a great interest in social events at school and has also been a very good student. She always has a smile for everyone. As president of the Commercial Club she has been a very good leader. “Ginny” plans to be a private secretary; we know that she will succeed. Vice President 2. Junior Prom Committee 3.

VIRGINIA CLARK 144 Hillside Road Franklin, Mass. “GINNY” She with honest, fleeting smile Only on one hath used her wile. But, nevertheless, a real friend, true Is found in her by not a few.” Though some of her classmates don ' t realize it, “Ginny” is among the most spirited of her class, as well as one of the most silent. She is the type we would like to hear more from, yet her inborn modesty cannot but be admired. Her achievements, in and out of school, include the athletic and musical, and her personality and scholastic record should prove in¬ valuable in her chosen profession which, she confides, is nursing. Junior Prom Committee 3. Basketball 2. Oskey 1, 2, 3, 4. Glee Club 1. JOHN FREDRICK CORNETTA 69 East Central Street Franklin, Mass. “JOHNNY” He who laughs first laughs last.” He is a hard-working boy, both in school and out. He is very sociable and pleasant; that is, he can mingle with his fellow class mates and can carry on a conversation very pleasantly. He is dependent on no one but himself, and for this reason we have no worry about his later life and how successful he will be, be cause a boy with his character cannot fail in life. Hallowe’en Party Committee 4. Military Training 2, 3, 4. Oskey 4. ERNEST DeBAGGIS 39 McCarthy Street Franklin, Mass. “ERNIE” It’s the little things that count.” Ernest is a deceiving chap, for although he is quiet and serious to all outward appearances, he can thoroughly enjoy fun-making. Although he never forged to the front, he was a good student and a loyal supporter of the school. Ernest worked after schools hours. If he continues to display such ambition in the future, he is sure to be successful. We’re not sure of his future plans, but we sincerely say, “All the luck in the world, Ernest.” Junior Prom Committee 3. Hallowe’en Party Committee 1, 4. Military Training 2, 3, 4. Oskey 1, 4.
