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.

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.

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.

LUCY KING HANCOCK Chestnut Street Franklin, Mass. “TOOTS” “Serene, yet warm: humane, yet firm her mind.” Cheerful and serene are the adjectives which best fit Lucy. Never unduly excited, she went about her work calmly and cheerfully, and the results were always gratifying. Dressmaking and art seemed to be Lucy ' s favorites. She made most of her own clothes and is to be congratulated on her wardrobe. Her artistic ability was put to good use for the Junior Prom. Much of her time was spent in beautifying the gym, and I ' m sure the re¬ sults were as pleasing to her as to everyone else. We hope you ' ll always be as cheerful and serene as you were in H.S., Lucy, for these two characteristics are a great asset in life. Junior Prom Committee 3. Yearbook Staff 4. Basketball 1, 2, 4.
