a PHYLLIS BERTONE West Street Franklin Phyr Phyllis is one of the quietest and most unassuming members of the class, but she is interested in all doings of the class of “48”. She is a member of the Business Course and next year plans to go job-hunting with the talents she has acquired in this field. HARRY MELBOURNE BOONE 61 Cottage Street Franklin Although Harry never was noted for his talking, we knew he was around when we heard a cheerfully-whistled tune in the corridors or spotted a good-natured grin. Harry excelled as a builder; he could always be counted upon to repair the damage done to desks and chairs by more ram¬ bunctious classmates. Although not an athlete himself, Harry supported Franklin High ' s teams with a loyalty and enthusiasm that will stand him in good stead in whatever he undertakes. ARTHUR BOURETT Oak Street Franklin “Art” Art” is one of the boys who lives so far away that we wonder how he participates in so many school activities. He was one of the steady, reliable men on the football team; not spectacular, but always dependable. Although he is not seen around school much, being one of the bus-boys”, he is well- liked by all. SHIRLEY BRAUNEIS 5 Grove Street Franklin “ Browneyes” Her name fits her well, for those big brown eyes with the ever¬ present twinkle are the first thing you notice after hearing Shir¬ ley ' s infectious giggle. She is one of the most willing workers in our class and can always be counted on to give uncomplain¬ ingly of her time and energy. One of our outstanding Commercial students, Shirley will, we are sure, make an excellent secretary for some lucky boss. Nineteen hundred and forty-eight

ROBERT ANDERSON 7 Milliken Ave. Franklin “Bob” Bob has won many honors this year in being nominated for the Pepsi Cola Scholarship and qualifying in the N.R.O.T.C. Besides studying, he has found time to play basketball, both J. V. and varsity, and to be class treasurer for his first three years. In addition, he is also the editor-in-chief of the yearbook. It looks as if Bob will be in Harvard next year, and we hope he does as well there as he has done here. PHYLLIS ALTHEA AUSTIN 50 Dean Avenue Franklin ‘“Bunny” Bunny combines an attractive personality, a keen sense of humor, and an abundance of brain power to make her one of our most popular classmates, liked by both teachers and fellow students. Bunny is also gifted artistically, and her vocational ambition is to apply this talent in the world of fashion. We know that success will follow Bunny through future school years and out into the business world. GEORGE BELYEA Plain Street Franklin George found himself in our midst in the middle of our junior year, coming from Braintree High. After we finally caught up with George and his Ford long enough to get to know him, we found that a very pleasing personality had been added to our class. Full of fun and ever ready with a joke, he always made study hall more enjoyable. His burning desire after graduation is to travel, preferably to California, before settling down to any further education. Hope the Ford holds together, George. MARY BENNETT 72 Hutchinson Street Franklin Blondie” A cheery smile heralds Mary, one of the well-liked girls of our class. The diamond on Mary’s finger spells real happiness for her in the future. I don’t think Mary will forget her class¬ mates. and we will always remember her. All the luck in the world! AM xc A 7 Nineteen hundred and forty-eight Page Nineteen

JEAN BRUNELLI Alpine Place “Jeannie” Franklin Jeannie is one girl that everyone knows and likes. In fact, the longer you know her, the better you like her. The class couldn ' t have made a better choice in selecting her as the best all-around girl. Jeannie was always on hand at socials and dances and among the loyal rooters at all the games. A good athlete herself, she was a member of most of the girls’ teams. We are sure that with the aid of her pleasing personality and sunny smile, she will be a great success in her chosen field. VIRGINIA BURNS 28 Stubb Street Franklin “Vivg” Here is Franklin High’s girl of sunshine. Her gay Irish laugh and smiling eyes will never be forgotten. “Virg is always willing to do her share, and because of this willingness she is a favorite with her many friends and classmates. She is generally found with her “other half, Shirley. “Virg’s’’ plans for the future are centered in and around Washington, D. C. ALBERTA MARIE CATALDO 18 Lincoln Street Franklin “Berky” Ask any senior girl who “Berky” is, and the answer is likely to be that she’s the girl whose wardrobe and talent for sewing are the envy of us all. “Berky” is also one of the most loyal rooters for all the school teams. “Berky’s” plans for the future include a course at comptometer school, and we know she will bring a good deal of fun as well as efficiency into any position she may hold. DONALD FRANCIS CATALDO 44 Worsted Street Franklin “Don” Don is the classmate who can always be depended on for a ready smile and a snappy answer. The occasions on which he is completely serious are pretty rare. During his high school years, he was active in sports and was present at every social function. He started us off on the right foot by serving as class president in our freshman and sopho¬ more years. Don plans to join the group of Franklin boys already at¬ tending B. C., and his many friends wish him all the luck in the world. Nineteen hundred and forty-eight Page Twenty-one
