Franklin JOHN FRANCIS MORRISSEY “Kato” 149 West Central Street Virtue: Personality Usually Found: As an entertainer Suppressed Desire: To be able to retire at the age of twenty-one Kato ' ' is another one of the boys who made such a fine show¬ ing on the gridiron. His spectacular jaunts down the field thrilled young and old alike. To retire young is his main ambition, but we think that comedy is his proven vocation. Kato, a fine athlete, a sparkling comedian, and a grand guy—we salute you! Activities: Football Mgr. 2; Football 3, 4; Jr. Prom Com. 3; Grand March 3, 4; Baseball Mgr. 3; Freshman Acquaintance Party Com. 4. LAWRENCE EDWARD MOR RISSEY Larry 128 Emmons Street Franklin Virtue: Excellent vocabulary Usually Found: With Neil Suppressed Desire: To be an airplane mechanic Larry is one of the shy boys in our class. He very seldom has much to say, but when he does he puts the rest of us to shame. Where did you ever learn those 25 cent words, Larry? Activities: Band 1, 2, 3, 4. JOHN ANTHONY McCARTHY “ Mac” 13 Church Avenue Franklin Virtue: Joviality Usually Found: Arguing with Riparco Suppressed Desire: To be in the U. S. Air Force Mac ' ' is that good natured Irishman with the catchy laugh. His easy manner is his greatest asset and has won him a host of friends in F. H. S. When his ambition is realized and he’s flying high up in the clouds, we hope he’ll think back once in a while of all the good times he ' s had with the Class of 1950. Activities: Band 1, 2. Joseph f. McDermott “Joe McQue” 74 Dean Avenue Franklir Virtue: Eyes Usually Found: With Leo Suppressed Desire : To own a Cadillac L.ook for Leo and you’ll find Joe. Usually, you’ll find mis¬ chief. too. This famous combination is at the bottom of every practical joke staged in F. H. S. Joe can never hide his guilt. His dancing green eyes seem to sparkle with mirth and are a definite give away. Owning a Cadillac seems to be his suppressed desire and. if we know Joe. he will! Activities: Baseball 3, 4; Band 4; Oskey 4; Grand March 3, 4.

LOUIS MOLINARO “Louie” 56 Ruggles Street Franklin Virtue: An unlimited vocabulary Usually Found: Hunting Suppressed Desire: To become a game conservationist Louie is noted for his quiet and gentlemanly conduct through¬ out the school and in private life. His popularity with his class¬ mates is shown by the fact that he was chosen as our vice presi¬ dent for three consecutive years. He didn ' t participate in very many other outside activities because his work kept him busy, and any spare time he had was spent in the great outdoors hunting and fishing. Activities: Vice President of Class 1, 2, 3; Radio Club 2, 3. PAUL MORRIS “Horace” 269 Union Street Franklin Virtue: Blond hair Usually Found : Washing windows Suppressed Desire : To become a linotype man Here’s another one of our “Little Men.” “Horace” may be little, but watch out, girls; he ' s full of surprises—nice ones. Paul can usually be found climbing ladders in front of J. J. New¬ berry’s. Is it so that he can see what it’s like to be “up in the world,” or is it really his work that takes him up there? We wonder.
