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.

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
