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.

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

MICHAEL ANTHONY DeBAGGIS 57 Ruggles Street Franklin, Mass. “Mikey” “Gravy” “Though modest, on his unembarrassed brow Nature has written ‘gentleman’ Though he was quiet in most respects, we could always get a rise from Mikey’’ by casually mentioning that the Red Sox was the best team in both leagues, or that B. C. had a super football team. He is a staunch supporter of “Joe” DiMaggio and the midwestern football teams! But sports were not his only interests. His marks clearly showed that he was no “dunce” in his studies. Nor was he averse to the “fair sex,” though he might have you believe otherwise. All in all, “Mike” is a regular fellow whose time is pretty well balanced by work and play. With such equilibrium, he can’t help but be a success in the years to come. Military Training 2, 3, 4. Basketball 2, 3. Oskey 4. VINCENT JOSEPH DeBAGGIS 39 Ruggles Street Franklin, Mass. “VINI” “Vin” “He is a real nice curly-head baker boy; The sweets he carries will fill you with joy.’’ “Vin” is a sports fan with his nose always in the paper following the sport of the season. Baseball is on the top of his sport list. When the baseball season rolls along, you can always find “Vin” talk¬ ing with some of the other boys, in a tone that all baseball fans use, about the activities of the different teams. As always his team is the best, and he ' s not afraid to say so — backing up his say-so with a little bet. He is a conscientious student, and we all know his success and hap¬ piness will be great.

Etiquette Club 1. 72 Washington JEANETTE AGNES DeLUCIA Street Franklin, “JEAN” Mass. “Swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.’’ Never one to shirk from work, “Jean” was always ready and will¬ ing to lend a hand when help was needed. Even though she worked in her senior year, she sold tickets for sports events, answered tele¬ phones at the C.D. headquarters, and in her spare time” sold war bonds and stamps at the theatre. Glancing at that list, one would think that “Jean’s” school work must have suffered, but such was not the case. Her marks were among the highest of our class despite her other “duties.” With such will and determination, “Jean” is sure to be a suc¬ cess as a laboratory technician, her chosen work.

ANTOINETTE MARTHA D’ERRICO 31 Ruggles Street Franklin, Mass. “TEE” “Her very frowns are fairer far Than smiles of other maidens are.” Everybody possesses a smile, but none so gracious as “Tee’s.” She is the type of girl everybody likes to have for a friend. Among other pleasing qualities she has a lovely voice, and this makes her a valu¬ able person to have around. “Tee” is a member of the bookkeeping course and plans to con¬ tinue with this same type of work. Our best of luck to you as a future bookkeeper. Freshman Acquaintance Committee 4. Hallowe’en Party Committee 1, 3, 4. Basketl all 1, 2, 3. Yearbook Staff 4. Blue and White 4. Commercial Club 4.
