The thought came to me that it would he a fine thing for every member of the Senior Class actually to sign the pledge and have the printer reproduce the signatures. The pledge comhined with signatures of your classmates wiii take on increasing importance and significance as you go on in life striving to achieve the finer things in life for yourself hut making sure that you join in the struggle to maize the finer things avaiiahie to all men. I was glad to note that the Year Book is heing dedicated to Niiss Dina Di Pino and Miss Aureiia Varrone. Joe Darmento's dedicatory statement con- tained no exaggerations either in the facts or in the sentiment expressed. The friendship and guidance of these teachers have heen vaiuahie to you. Niost important of all they have had iaith in you, an unwavering faith which has had the effect of huiiding a faith in yourselves to the point where you feel that you can Uascend even higher altitudes hy yourseiff, I was also happy to note that in the closing statement of your pledge you considered Franklin tithe finest community school in the cityf' To those of us who are deeply concerned ahout maicing Franklin effective in service to the community and making it the finest. it comes as an encouraging thought that you feel that way ahout your Alma Mater. it makes us feel that hy our continued efforts we can maize Franklin one of the finest centers for wholesome community living, The Alumni of an educa- tional institution can bring resources which are not avaiiahie to ali of their group in the community. It is the alumni who know the needs, the Weaknesses. and the strengths of the institution so they can develop into an enduring power for good. Let's give these ideas thoughtful consideration and then translate them into action-not in the distant future hut now. iwiy hest wishes are yours as you go on into new fields. Remember that Franklin is your Alma Mater and wiii he happy always to weicome you hack. Cordiaiiy yours, LEONARD COVELLO. Principal DEDICATION At a time iilce this when sentiments are strong and true as weii as eager to voice themselves, we nevertheless find it difficult to convey what we leel irecause we feet so deeply. As we approach time end of our days at Franlclin, tilere is deep in the lweart of every boy in tile Class of January '48, a feeling of appreciation and gratitude which he cannot adequately express. ln tliis, our dedication, we will attempt to acilieve this expression, at least in part. It is our great pleasure to dedicate our Yearbook to Miss Dina Di Pino and Miss Aureiia Varrone whose graciousness and generosity made it possilole for the Seniors to have ali the Htrimmingsu wiiicii malce gradua- tion an even more glorious occasion. These two young Women toolc care ol? calling us together for meetings, wrote orders for our class rings, caps, and gown, and they also arranged appointments for our never-to-ide forgotten photographs. We will always ciuerisii the memory of the lcindness, patience, and cimeerfuiness of Miss Di Pino and Miss Varrone. it is our IIOIJG that they iootil live long and happily and tilat Franidinites coming along after us will enjoy the sweetness of their personalities.

With faith and the never-ceasing encouragement and iniiu- ence of our teachers, we have been able to succeed. The path upward has been like a venturesome trip up a mountain by an inexperienced mountain- climber on his first trip with, however, the advantage of an experienced mountain-climber at his side. We were, of course, the inexperienced climb- ersg the teachers, the experienced helpers. Upon embarking on this venture, we were anxious but enthusiastic. We proceeded to climb, gazing iongingiy at the top and imaging how wonderful it must be up there, knowing that once We reached the summit we could ascend even higher altitudes by ourselves. We were cautioned by the climbers at our sides not to rush, but to take our time because the road ahead was treacherous. We went ahead cautiously, oblivious of the world around us. We were concerned only with the immediate task ahead. As we climbed, the road seemed a little easier. We ascended still higher, sometimes iosing our footing but the experienced climbers ever at our side tightened the siack in our rope steadying us. As we continued to climb, we sometimes slipped, we must confess, cutting and bruising ourselves, but the reassuring hands of the ones at our sides kept encouraging us. At times, we became discour- aged and were tempted to turn back but the ever-reassuring hands kept urging us on. Their patience became spent at times at our lack of iaith in ourselves, but nevertheless they remained steadfast. At last, we looked up and just before us in a ring of inviting clouds was the topi This encouraged us to put everything we had in this last lap. We made iti We are at the top now. We shake hands with the help- ful aids without whose guidance we could never have reached our goal. Thanking them, we leave them to start their journey to give some other inexperienced climbers their wonderful help. Now, at last, we can proceed alone. We therefore pledge that to the best of our ability, we will put to good use the knowledge we have acquired as students of Benjamin Franklin High School, the finest community school in the city.

We will fight, it necessary, for the ideals and sacredfstiiishnlwei ' :JM ' ' X x the United States of America, both as private citizens and with the Army, if called upon. Towards all races and all creeds, we will ever preach and practice the principles of equality as set down in the Constitution of the United States of America. We will ever guard jealousty the right to freedom of worship, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press. We will respect and ohey our country,s laws and do our hest to awaken a similar respect in those ahout us who are, perhaps, prone to he careless about these duties. We will strive ever to do our full duty as citizens and thus in all these ways to transmit these ideals to our children so that they will he, if possible, even better Americans than we have been.

Scutaro, Martuscelli, and Russo are dis- cussing the Yearbook. They pay no at- tention to the President. There is a knock on the door. Tamburrino and Meinero, the Artists of the class iThere's another one-Verrico who usually travels with these two but he's not with them this morningl, burst in looking for . . . you guessed it . . . the third member of the Artists' Triumvirate. Miss D. comes in looking more harassed than she should. It must be the Accounts Payable again! She wants something typed. Everyone says, Give it to Russo. They all know what trouble Russo is having with his Sten and Typing. Tortorici sings disconsolately, O Solo Mio. He's just about given up the idea of holding a meeting. Scutaro is urging Treasurer Coles to start collecting money. This Scutaro is a human dynamo when it comes to getting other people to do things. Poor Russo by this time has made so many mistakes that he is being advised by the group around his typewriter not to let it get him down. Martuscelli was elected to make all tele- phone calls. He calls the man about the Senior Buttons. Everyone stops talking . . . Al1's Well, now . . . The meeting is called to order and . . . the bell rings for the beginning of the first period.

She has heen interested in dramatics since her own high school days in Erasmus Hall.

We had hoped to get one of the authors of the play to make a personal appearance, hut I am sorry to announce that conditions beyond our control, William . . . tto Prizzi, How do you pronounce this name? fprizzi whispers it in his earl Shakespeare, known to his friends as Hvvillie, the Shake will not he ahle to make a personal appearance. He died rather suddenly. But don't feel too had, I douht that he would recognize our play anyway. However, so that his friends and relatives don't feel hurt, l will tell you what he contributed to our play hefore we start. This story we are ahout to enact for you is set in the distant past about the Tenth or Eleventh Century in Scotland. It is the story of a very am- hitious man named Max Beth. Three witches told him that he would he made a nohleman and then he would loecome king. Since he was in a very great hurry to become king, he decided that the hest way to get there fast was to kill everyone who happened to he in his way. Qnly one thing hothered Max Beth. The witches had said that only a man who was not horn as other men could overcome him. This upset him some. But his wife was a helpful, little woman, as all wives should he. She kept inspiring him. Onward . . . ever onward . . .
