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.

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

E. GARELICK E. GEROMINI N. HANCOCK C. HOBBS D. HOLMES J. HOLMES “Personality plus.” ELINOR GARELICK Elinor ' s splendid participation in many plays earned for her the title of best actress. Her talents are not confined to dra¬ matics, for she served capably as the treasurer of the Blue and White. Her ability to win friends will no doubt be a help to her at Syracuse next year. ELEANOR JUDITH GEROMINI Constantly jolly and full of folly.” Eleanor is one of the most carefree members of our class. She proved at all times a dependable friend and helper, ever anxious to do more than her share. We wish you luck, Eleanor, in whatever profession you choose, and we feel sure your presence will be enjoyed as it was in high school. NEVA MARGARET HANCOCK “ Sh y at first ’ but a 9 ood s P ort when known.” “Ne” is a brunette cutie whose ability to acquire friends makes her a delightful person to know. She is an enthusiastic supporter cf all sports, especially basketball. Neva plans to join the Cadet Nurse Corps in the fall. Loads of luck to an all-American girl! CHESTER W. HOBBS “A joke’s a very serious thing.” “Chet” was seen in the midst of most discussions being waged at Franklin High, standing up for his opinion with persistence and animation. “Chet’’ was Franklin High’s “nine o ' clock scholar,’’ arriving at school from the wilds of Caryville at that time. What’ll it be, “Chet’’ . . . lawyer? PVT. A. DAVID HOLMES, U.S.A. ‘‘Success treads on the heels of every right effort.” “Dave’’ started helping his country by promoting War Stamps sales in F.H.S. and followed up by joining the Army in the middle of his senior year. When the lighter side of life beckons, he has the wit and good nature to face it; when a serious situation confronts him, he has the ability, perserverance, and character to master it. JOHN HOLMES just go rolling along.” Introducing you to “Johnny,” “the painter.” Since he is Miss Holmes’ brother, John ' s been laboring under a slight han¬ dicap these four years (or was the handicap Miss Holmes?). John doesn’t seem the worse for wear, for he’s always been carefree and unconcerned. El Gerry Ne Chet Dave Johnny
