Page 19 EDWARD KUSHNER TENTH CLASS ED 913 NORTH SEVENTH STREET Stoddart Junior High School Industrial Ed was a good student. His humor and personality were two reasons why he was universally liked. He was, and is, very much interested in anything in the industrial line and will probably be a success in his field. DOUGLASS MAILLARD TENTH CLASS SLIM 2443 WEST TURNER STREET Barratt Junior High School Academic Gliding across the floor to the rhythm of Erskine Haw- kins or rug-cuttinq to the tempo of Benny Goodman, Slim Maillard is at ease in either case; for Doug is an excellent dancer. His reticence is slightly misleading, for he has a fine command of the English language, which was evident in his work on the Almanac Staff. Activities: Basketball, Record Book Staff, English Club. CHARLES MARTIN TENTH CLASS CHARLIE 2105 NORTH EIGHTEENTH STREET Vaux Junior High School Academic Charlie loves to swim and he loves to play ball, as do so many Franklin bovs; however, his first love is basketball. He was a member of our excellent Basket- ball Team and made quite a name for himself through- out the school. Activities: Basketball. EDWARD MASINKO TENTH CLASS ED 846 NORTH TANEY STREET Vaux Junior High School Vocational Arts There is no doubt that Ed Masinko was by far the most outstanding artist at Franklin. He had always had a mania for art, but it was here at Franklin that he learned to express himself. The beauty of the S curve was unfolded to him, the power and speed of the diagonal, the quietness of the horizontal, and the strength of the vertical. He learned composition. He painted several murals, one of which hangs over Room 106. It is a montage of Franklin in his various roles. Masinko wants to attend an art college and become Ct cover artist for the Saturday Evening Post. Good luck, Ed! 1944

FRANKLIN ALMANAC RICHARD HUIE TENTH CLASS YUKIE 1925 REED STREET Barratt Junior High School Commercial Richard Huie might be termed the moderator of Frank- lin . He had that indefinite something found in nearly all leaders. The students listened to what he said, then followed his advice. Yukie played a big part in the success of our scrap metal drive and scrap survey. He often spoke in assembly for Mr. Sewell and Mr. Williams for various occasions. Activities: Student Patrol, Student Council, Basket- ball Team, Correspondence Club, Presi- dent of the School Beautiful Committee, Senior Class President. HENRY JOHNSON TENTH CLASS SLIM 2338 ST. ALBANS STREET Audenreid Junior High School Mechanic Arts The thrill of fencing, its speed, its unseen mind-strqule holds a strange fascination for Henry Johnson. He has been an earnest fan of the art oi the foil since he first arrived at Franklin. Slim loves to wisecrack, biit he is not taken very seriously by anyone who knows him well. i MARTIN KAPLAN TENTH CLASS CAPT' 926 NORTH SECOND STREET Penn Treaty Junior High School Academic Cap has a hand in everything in Franklin, which deals with student government. He was very prominent in the organization of the streamlined Student Patrol, and last year he was chosen as Chief Justice. Martin had a gift for tossing piercing innuendos and biting satire around, apparently without effort. He was always interesting and was a constant source of amusement. Activities: Student Patrol, Chief Justice, Student Council. JOSEPH KOLISNYK TENTH CLASS KOBBLE 863 RINGGOLD STREET Stoddart Junior High School , Commercial Kobble Kolisnyk loves sports, but oi all the sports in the world, baseball is his prime favorite. He was a member of Franklin's baseball team last year and played very well. Joe is hoping to become a clerk in a postoffice after graduation. Activities: Baseball. Page 18

FRANKLIN ALMANAC JAMES MEADE TENTH cuss JIMMY 833 WEST LELAND STREET Stoddart Junior High School Mechanic Arts Bowling, the fastest growing sport in America, has claimed another victim in James Meade. Besides that, Jimmy likes to swim and dive. Jimmy is the tallest boy in the class, as well as one of the quietest. CHARLES MOORE TENTH CLASS CHARLIE 2316 ST. ALBANS STREET Barratt Junior High School Charlie was elected to the post of vtce-president of Franklin when he was in 12A and he was well suited for the post. His work on the Student Council, Council Patrol, and a member of the committee for the Youth Forum, which was broadcast from Franklin, were deserving of merit. Charlie had quite an interest in William Penn, and who can blame him? Activities: Student Council, Council Patrol. ALBERT MURRAY TENTH CLASS BERT 1502 NORTH PERCH STREET Audenreid Junior High School Distributive Education Bert was one of Franklin's star Stamp and Bond sales- men. He loves to talk to pretty girls tany girls, for that mattert. He wants to become a successful sales- man. Here's to his success! JOHN MYCHOI. TENTH CLASS VANCH 447 POPLAR STREET Penn Treaty Junior High School Distributive Education Vanch Mychol has a good hobby and one which is not uncommon. It's called Wolting. Its a kind of game in whieh the wolf is supposed to catch the poor, innocent sheep. Some sheep! Mychol is an aggressive fellow and was formerly the assistant captain of the Student Patrol. Activities: Student Patrol. Page 20
