THE OSKEY FRANKLIN HIGH SCHOOL MARY ARLENE BARDOL 227 Union Street Franklin Happy and gay, carefree all day . Arlene is one of our wittiest girls with a happy and cheerful disposition. She was a member of various athletic teams in high school and was an ardent supporter of the boys’ teams. Always ready to have some fun we seldom see Arlene without a smile on her face. Her sparkling personality without a doubt is the reason for her popularity. What she plans for the future she has not said, but we wish her good luck and success in her special field of endeavor.

BARTOLOMEI 36 Hutchinson Street Franklin “LEFTY” To laugh once a day keeps the doctor away”. “Lefty” is a very avid sports fan and a very good athlete. He excelled as pitcher and co-captain of the baseball team, as well as a sub forward on our excellent basketball team. “Lefty” knows sports inside out, and anyone that argues with him on sports is usually left on the shorter end. “Lefty” is awaiting call from the Navy since he passed the Navy tests with flying colors. We are sure “Lefty’s” future will be safe in Uncle Sam’s hands, and we wish him Good Luck and Godspeed. Footbcll (Manager) 3, 4. Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. Baseball 2, 3, 4. Junior Traffic Corps 3, 4. ALBERT P. BASSIGNANI 83 Alpine Place Franklin “AL” In sports he has gained A good share of fame . What! Did you say, “Who is ‘Al’ Bassignani?” (Aside) Can you imagine that? He doesn’t know “Al” Bassignani. “Well, listen closely, and I’ll tell you.” “Al” is Franklin High’s contribution to the sport world. If you have seen him in action, you know why. He starred on our football, basketball, and baseball teams. He was co-captain of football and gained honor¬ able mention in that sport in the selection of the annual all-scholastic team of the state. This is only one of his long list of sport honors. Football 3, 4. Basketball 3, 4. Baseball 3, 4. Class Day Marshal 3. Nineteen Hundred Forty-five Page Twenty-Five

FRANKLIN HIGH SCHOOL THE OSKEY ROBERT J. ACCORSI 338 West Central Street Franklin “BOB” ' ' Happiness is from within” “Bob” was a quiet and unassuming member of the class of ’45, but always a willing helper. “Bob’s” guitar playing and singing certainly helped our Oskey this year just as it did last year. No matter how early one came to school, it was sel¬ dom that he got there ahead of “Bob”. Whatever his plans for the future may be, we know that “Bob” will be sincere in his undertaking. Oskey 3, 4. RICHARD APALAKIAN 429 Union Street Franklin “APPY” A great sport and friend to all ” On first meeting him, one might think that “Appy” is a drone. This is just the opposite of what is true about him. In the first place, “Appy” is a scholar in the true sense. That he is a good student is shown by his getting one of the honors. He seems to have found the perfect formula for getting good marks, he calls it home¬ work while we have another name for it, and it is be¬ cause he does it that he is so smart. And in the second place he is pretty handy with a basketball and is no slouch with a catcher’s mitt. “Appy” finds much in life to laugh at, and, although he is no “eager beaver,” we know that success is just a matter of time for him. So it is with a sense of security that we say “More power to you.” Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. Yearbook Staff (Editorial Committee). War Savings Committee 4. RICHARD ARCHER 94 Main Street Franklin “DICK” “ARCHIBALL” His time is forever, everywhere his place” “Dick” has a smile that is really infectious, and he Jhas used it to his best advantage, making fast friends with both sexes at F. H. S. He is a familiar figure on the dance floor and has also been active on the athletic field. “Dick” has always helped out when asked, and he proved himself to be a real asset to the class. He is now attending radio school in Boston We are sure that he is succeeding there, too. Junior Prom Committee 3. Football 4. Oskey 3, 4. Dramatics 4. Page Twenty-Four Nineteen Hundred Forty-five

BERGHELLI 27 Alpine Road Franklin “BOGEY” “TARZ” Just keep rolling along” The artist of our class, “Bogey” has one of the most appealing personalities known.

Friendly, a firm believer in Iris convictions, Ray will be outstanding in the memories of his classmates for many years to come. Junior Prom Committee 3. Yearbook (Art) 4.
