E. ALDRICH D. ANDERSON G. ARCHER J. AUSTIN G. BARDOL P. Bisson EUNICE MARIAN ALDRICH DONALD THEODORE ANDERSON GEORGE LEWIS ARCHER JOSEPH FRANCIS AUSTIN GEORGE FRANCIS BARDOL “It’s the little things that count.” Hear anything? No, because it ' s Eunice, our quietest girl. A six-footer would have difficulty seeing her, since height ' s not one of her assets. All in all, you ' d think that Eunice would be lost in the shuffle, but her friendliness saves her from that fate. Nursing is Eunice’s ambition; perhaps a nice patient will make her lose her man-hater title! “Easy does it.” We proudly present Swede,” our cutest boy. Since he lives so far from school and moves at such a slow rate of speed, it’s one of Franklin’s greatest mysteries how he ever got here on time. Donald was one of the mainstays of the basketball team for four years. Recall those two overtime foul shots in the Natick game? Best wishes, Swede.” Forward and up.” Ace” is the editor of the yearbook, who goes about with journalistic matters cn his mind and a camera in his hands. George ' s clever cartoons and witty remarks (delivered with a poker-face expression) are examples of his talents. He intends to become a big-time windbag — pardon us, pol¬ itician and his chances are the best to make the grade. “Let the world slide — what care I?” Joe” joined the class in our senior year. Whenever help was needed we could count on him to aid willingly. He didn ' t participate in athletics because he worked after school, but sel¬ dom did a game go by that Joe” didn ' t attend. We don ' t know what his plans are for the future, but what¬ ever they are, we wish him success. “Carefree in manner, he drifts along.” George likes to have fun and always has a twinkle in his eye. He doesn ' t care especially for homework, but who does? Whenever anything was doing, George could be found in the thick of it, were it a game, a dance, or a conversation. He’s what you would call a regular fellow. PAULINE RITA BISSON “Better late than never.” Pauline is one of Franklin High ' s most attractive girls. Be¬ cause of her good nature and winning ways she is liked by all her classmates. A dance floor is her special joy, particularly when in the arms of a certain Junior boy. Pauline intends to take up nursing after graduation. Best wishes, Paula”; we know you will be a success. Eunice Swede Ace Joe George Paula

SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS ANTHONY E. CORNETTA “Power to start, power to finish.” President Unusually hard working, exceedingly popular, and an effi¬ cient “grease monkey, that’s “Tony,” our class president. For four years he has held the executive reins of our class in his capable hands. Keenly interested in all the undertakings of the class, he has always been found participating in its social as well as its business affairs. Good student and all-round good fellow, this senior class president, boasting a pair of lusty lungs, is beard cheering at the athletic functions too. “Tony” expects to join the Armed Forces soon, and all we can say is that if he works as hard and as fast and as enthusiastically as he has at Franklin High — the war is practically won! CLAIRE KENNEDY “Virtue way be gay, yet with dignity.” Vice-President With a faculty for doing everything well, Claire is one of the best all-round girls in our class. For three years she helped blow the “steam behind the team” and. of course, was partly responsible for our victories in the field of sports. Being just a born good sport, Claire has taken plenty of good-natured ribbing from some of her friends. She has shone “cutting a rug” or leading the rooters in a cheer as well as in the classroom — and is the envy of many for her ver¬ satility. Everything is Navy — hmmm—could his name be Wally? Best of luck and success, Claire; here’s to as successful a fu¬ ture as your high school days. ANDREW E. BISSANTI Secretary “Personality — with a capital P, Goes with Bissanti — with a capital B.” “Pal may be small, but his presence is always felt. He has great talent for imitating. His two best acts involve “Keep your eyes on it,” and “Music is the art of melody.” Andrew’s tackling in football leaves nothing to be desired. He shows that he has all the spunk necessary to be successful in life. “Pal” is the leader of the hilarious “Railroad Gang.” Their talents have often been displayed with the result of resounding laughter. Andrew would like to be a doctor, so it will be medicine’s gain and Franklin High’s less. MARY PATRICIA ANDERSON “Life is what you make it.” Treasurer A fitting name for “Pat would be “sunshine,” for that is surely what she radiates. We didn ' t even mind being hounded for those class dues which she eked out of us nickel by nickel! “Pat” was voted the “cutest” senior girl and at the same time took much ribbing about that “healthy look.” But don ' t think she didn’t have an answer ready for everyone! Probably one of the most energetic members of our class, she worked tirelessly getting “ads and took pleasure in seeing a job well done. And did you ever notice that good looking cashier at the local theatre? Yes-—- ’twas Patsy. We all love and admire you, “Patsy,” and we ' re sure they will at Sargent.

M. BORRUSO A. BRUNELLI J. BURKE J. CATALDO R. CREVO M. CUGNO “Quietly she goes her way.” Mary, Mary, quite contrary.” That sums up this tall, smil- MARY ASSUNTA BORRUSO ing senior. Mary is a person who keeps her troubles and mis¬ fortunes to herself. Mary’s homework is always done at any price, and her name generally heads the Honor Roll. May your knowledge and personality always guide you in the future, Mary! ”For he ' s a jolly good fellow.” ALBERT R. BRUNELLI Pete’s” carefree manner and indescribable ease make him our choice for most sociable and wittiest boy, as well as class tease. He hasn’t decided whether to lend his talents to the Navy or Marines, but either branch will be fortunate in getting a boy like “Pete.” ‘‘Never trouble trouble ’till trouble troubles you.” Burkie” is the happy-go-lucky member of the class. Al¬ ways brimming with pep, she received opportunity to let off steam” while serving capably as a cheerleader for two years. Burkie ' s” constant joking aided in making her the most so¬ ciable as well as the wittiest girl. Keep ’em laughing, Burkie”! “Leave seriousness to the gods. As for me, am only human.” In Joan we have proof that the saying, Business and pleas¬ ure don ' t mix,” isn’t true. Joan was always in the center of activity, and yet kept her marks above the average. Joan plans to attend New Rochelle College, and to her go our best wishes for a successful future. “A speedy fellow in more ways than one.” Bob has done much for the senior class and soon will be helping Uncle Sam in the guise of an Air Cadet. A true friend, “Bob” has always been willing to give one a lift with either his car or his music. Best wishes to you, Bob,” while you are up in the clouds. “A great sport and a friend to alt.” A wise crack on the tip of his tongue was “Mickey’s” pana¬ cea for any dull moment. Being the ace aircraft spotter, he enrolled in the Army Air Corps A-5 program early in his senior year. You ' ll succeed, “Mickey,” you just can ' t help it!
