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!

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

E. DAGLIAN A. DeBAGGIS V. DeBAGGIS C. DeGREGORIO M. DERAGON A. D ' ORAZIO “The better we know her, ELIZABETH DAGLIAN The better we like her.” “Betty” is the girl with an impish look lurking in the cor¬ ner of her eye. She was an active member of the Commercial Club and she works in an office after school. “Betty” has cer¬ tainly proven her ability in this line of work; we imagine she expects to build her future around it. May good fortune be yours, “Betty.” ANTHONY DeBAGGIS, Jr. ‘‘You ' ve got to be a football hero.” Bluffing through classes, visiting “relatives in Boston, a great athlete, “Tony” is one of our shining lights. “Tony,” Miss Wiggin, and throat lozenges were the stars in second pe¬ riod English, and as the one-note member of the “Railroad Gang he was equally spectacular. The Air Corps will get a great sport in “Tony.” VICTOR MICHAEL DeBAGGIS “Happy and gay is always his way.” With a twinkle in his eyes, a cheery greeting on his lips, and a wave in his hair, Victor goes his popular way. Victor can play a hero, a “baker boy,” or Hitler equally well, being our best male actor. In reality “Vic doesn’t have to play a part; he has only to be himself to win our admiration. CLARA DeGREGORIO MARIETTA DERAGON ALFRED JOHN D’ORAZIO ‘‘Small of stature, quick of wit.” Clara is the average high school student, a good worker, friend, and student. She is a diminutive girl, whose merry laughter rang out in every class. She can also provoke the laughter on occasion (ask any of her friends). It is rumored that hairdressing is her choice of profession. Good curling, Clara! “Pleasing and pretty.” “Marie’s the girl with big eyes and long eyelashes to match. That shy, little-girl manner is well-known and her personality equals her “looks.” Marietta ' s main ambition is to become a nurse. Lucky will be the patient who has Marietta for his “angel of mercy.” ‘‘A bashful boy, but not so shy.” “Freddie” conceals his mischievous personality under a bash¬ ful exterior, but we ' re not deceived. A bit of a flirt, a bit of a wit — that ' s “Freddie, when you know him. Like most young American lads, he intends to join the Army soon. Betty Tony Vic Clara Marie Freddie
