ALEXANDER DlCAMILLO 20 Wachusett Street Franklin, Mass. “ALLIE” “Always ready, Always there, Always willing to do his share.” “Allie” with his sparkling white teeth and black shining hair is the envy of all. He is very musically inclined; especially with his guitar and banjo. “Allie” showed his great athletic ability on the gridiron. This year “Allie” came out of his shell and among other things became a Romeo. “Allie’s” plan for the future is to join the Marines. We all wish him the greatest success in his chosen career. Military Training 2, 3, 4. Football 4. Oskey 2, 3, 4. GEORGE H. ELLIS 12 Garden Street Franklin, Mass. “This boy, George Ellis, is very tall When Grace is around we don’t see him at all.” George, one of the many tall boys in our class, possesses blond hair and a friendly smile. He has an answer for everything and bases most of these on facts. In case someone doubts him he is able to “back” himself up. He is very successful in debating, and very few overcome him. George’s ambition is to become an airplane mechanic, and we are positive he will make a success of it. Military Training 3. Oskey 1. WANDA MARIE FICK 95 Peck Street Franklin, Mass. “A stitch in time saves nine.” Our class is fortunate to have people in it who are good workers. Wanda is one of these. No matter when or where you see her she is busy. Most of her time was spent in the cafeteria and the sew¬ ing room. Her friendly smile and disposition were welcomed in these rooms and our class rooms. We are sure that no matter what Wanda takes as a career she will make a success of it because of her diligence. Oskey 4. Etiquette Club 1. Glee Club 1, 2. JOAN MARY FOLEY 204 Union Street Franklin, Mass. “JO” “Quiet and studious and very business-like She’d be quite at ease before a radio mike.” Introducing “Jo,” one of the members of the Secretarial group. Your first impression of Joan would probably be that she was very quiet, but when, you get to know her, she is a lot of fun. “Jo” always believes in having her school work done right; that’s why her name has always been on the Honor Roll. All our best wishes with you in your future vocation as secretary, “Jo,” and we know you will be an asset to any business organization. Blue and White 4. War Savings Committee 4. Glee Club 1, 2.

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. Junior Prom Committee 3. Military Training 2, 3, 4. Oskey 2, 3, 4. Sal¬ vage Committee 3. 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. Hallowe’en Party Committee 1, 2, 3, 4. Oskey 1, 3, 4. Honor Roll Com¬ mittee (President) 4. Etiquette Club 1. Librarian 3. 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.

She is one cf the most at¬ tractive girls in our class as evidenced by the way she attracted both sexes. She has trouble with her date book.

ROBERT NEWTON GOWING 89 Union Street Franklin, Mass. “BOB” “STINKY” “His popularity — known, His personality — desired, Bob” is known to practically every member of our class as a staunch friend, loyal worker, and experienced musician. The Oskey Yearbook, of which he is the editor, can place the cause for the great¬ est part of its success at his doorstep. His ability for keen analysis of problems of all kinds has made him indispensable to fellow students and valuable in the classroom. This unique quality tied with Bob ' s intelligent, fun-loving attitude should stand greatly in his favor both in the Army Air Corps — his immediate concern — and in a prospective engineering career.
