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

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!

S. DOW E. EASTMAN B. FIORIO R. FITZPATRICK A. FONTAINE J. GALGANI “Merry as the day is long.’’ Sheila is one of the biggest factors in any hilarity, and es- SHEILA MARY DOW pecially has added to the gala times had in Room III. It is no secret that her heart is in the Navy but she had us guessing occasionally. As a nurse, Sheila will never find it difficult to keep the patients comforted. “A stitch in time saves nine.’’ ELIZABETH MARIE EASTMAN Most people know Betty” as a rather quiet, determined, serious student. Betty ' s” yodeling and guitar playing make her a wonderful entertainer for any occasion. Elizabeth Marie didn ' t take to the boys in Franklin as much as one in Provi¬ dence ! “Not a care in the world have I.” BRUNO F FIORIO Bruno is one of the quietest boys of the class of ' 44. He’s never worried, least of all about homework. He rejoices in having one of the most peculiar nicknames in Franklin High — Bunzo ; its origin should make an interesting story. “Let tomorrow take care of itself.’’ ROBERT FITZPATRICK “Bob” disliked homework (who didn’t?), but since he al¬ ways had a wisecrack for every question he couldn ' t answer, the teachers usually got more than they asked for. The say¬ ing You can ' t tell a book by its cover” applies to Bob”; he seems reserved, but it takes only a word to show his friendly personality. “Her talents were of the more silent class.” ALBA JOSEPHINE FONTAINE They say tall persons will be the important people of to¬ morrow, but we’re betting on Peanut” to hold her own. Here’s to a girl with a vivacious smile and an infectious laugh that endears her to all. Alba won’t have to learn the details of nursing; her personality will have the male patients pro¬ posing ! “Though modest, on his unembarrassed brow JOHN PATRICK GALGANI Nature has written ‘gentleman’ Kearney’s soda jerker is no jerk; once out of his shell he can mix like the most gregarious of persons. As a retiring and hard-working student, he has gained the respect of both teachers and friends. We are sure that modest air will be one of John’s best assets in his future calling.
