triumphantly as that Home-town girl who made good. We have four of the best, and each has some cherished memento of the commercial dungeon to leave behind. Never-Miss Elspeth Ring and Speed Doris Schmidt dub Cecile Gagne and leanette Hebert with their Titles, lane Lefebvre and lackie LaBelle, after watching loyce Parris and Elaine Coen struggle to transcribe their cold notes, land we mean coldll decided that their endowment should be an eraser and a Gregg dictionary. And He Tips The Scale At 303 To Slim Berard, the Hodgdon twins leave TWO of their skirts for next year's Sadie Hawkins dance, as he has too much territory for any single skirt of theirs to cover. The Glow Worm To those who cram before the exam, Maurice Pierce, loseph Langevin, Leon Sokul, and Robert.Robichaud leave their open books, horrible nightmares, and desk lamps to those who think they still might be able to stagger out of school after a year of it. In My Merry Oldsmobile Faster than a speeding bullet .... Noisier than a locomotive .... Able to turn corners on one wheel!!! Look, wrapped around that post, it's Gene Piela, it's Iohn Schaefer, nope, it's Leonard Kelton! Yep, them's our boys. We can't persuade them to leave you their cars, but they have a few precious items with which they will part. Gene has a special road map showing Cmarked in redl all the best parking nooks in this vicinity, which he knows lohnny Sokul will appreciate. ls there a mechanic in the house? To you, Iohn leaves his jet propelled DeSoto. Leonard leaves his ignition keys fthe only remnant of his last wreckl to Ray l'll find a use for it Le- Brun. Take Me Out To The Ball Game There you will find Casey Barker wiping off the plate, Streak Poisson running home, and Slugger Keating swatting flies. Then out in the bone yard we find The Kid Cushing catching cold, while '!Tiny Sweetland is still look- ing for the bat. We leave these EMPTY spaces for Coach Eustis to fill as he sees fit. Drifting And Dreaming You've all heard of the adage, The Absent-minded Professor , well, Esther Simonds is no professor, but you try ask- ing her where she last left her mittens, pocketbook, chemistry books, etc. To remedy this, Esther made a nifty little fil- ing cabinet and it helped her so that she would LIKE to leave it to Mary Thibo- deaug but as this goes to press, she is still hunting for it. Yah-ta-ta-Gab, Gab. Gab Don't let our music title fool you, Esther Laloie, Charlotte Youngman, Marjorie Durgin, and Theresa Marceau are 'strictly the seen and not heard type. Study hall teachers call them a blessing to the rowdy community. To those who find detention a habit, they leave the slogan Silence is golden. I Used To Work In Franklin In A Dept. Store Upon our departure from F. H. S. three gaps will be left in our representative body at Holmes G Nelson's. To remedy this deplorable situation, Barbara Short Change Wiegand, Pat Wrong Size Varney, Barbara Charge lt Magyar, and Stanley Let's Duck Charlie Sakowski consented to leave their positions in Franklin's biggest department store, to be replaced by Mgr. B. Deshaies, Buyer C. Prince, Time-keeper W. Rayno, and Ken- neth What's your hurry Dussault. Rumors Are Flying Advice To The Lovelorn by A. Mar- ceau, A. Fillion, N. Mahoney, A. St. Cyr,

C air 'MMI As is the custom, we, the Class of l947 of Franklin High School, have gathered together all our personal property and talents in the form of a music album to bestow upon our successors, to be theirs Cwhether they want them or notl now and forevermore. Music Makers Not to be undone by previous classes we want to bestow upon the music lovers of the junior class, the cream of our crop of musical artists: Glenna Munsey and her gueetarg Mike Hot Lips Woods and his golden trumpet, Valentino Boogie Moscardini and his hot alto sax, Ianet Fingers Allard and her one-finger boogie Woogie, Bob Krupa Hinds and his drum-sticks, with Bob The Voice Trachy to set the beat for these, our Melo- dious Yokels. Donald Beaupre might find them quite useful for sound effects in his latest radio hit, Wreck of Old '97. The West, A Nest, And You Perhaps you junior girls, who already have snared your man, will be interested in some delicious, nutritious, never-fail recipes by the homemakers of '47. Mar- jorie Cook, Florence Wentworth, Doris Brown, Dot Kelley, Beverly Cilley, and Genevieve Robichaud have them all under lock and keyg but if you ask nicely, they might give you a few. Money is the Root of All Evil Since we are discussing artists, we might mention another group of artists, known to us as The Depleted Five Be- hind the Eightballf' Yes, you guessed 'em! Smoky Bailey, Dead-eye Mead, Cue-stick Daigneau, Blood-shot Cros- by, A-N-D . . . All-shot lohnson. These pool sharks will make your head whirl with cue-balls, eight-balls, corner pock- ets, side pockets . . . and come out' with EMPTY pockets. As a parting gift they leave their EMPTY pockets to anyone in the junior class who can fill them with the folding stuff. Do You Like My . . . Personality? F. H. S. would not be if it were not for the fairer sex, and we of '47 sure have some slick chicks. As the old saying goes, There are some things you must take with you. However, not wanting our class to appear selfish, Norma Schwartz offered to leave her pearl- handled toothbrush to Sophie Kyratzis. Natalie Hartwell leaves her -blond locks to Barbara Hartwell so that Babs may entwine them in her red tresses. Peggy Cleary leaves her geometric figure to anyone interested in higher mathematics. Le It Snow-Let It Snow Roland Cate, Helen LaPlante, and Ei- leen Mercier leave their curls to Mr. Cashman, Mr. Bourn, and Mr, Turnbull, as lack Frost predicts a long stay next year. And I Chew And I Chaw My Gum Alfred Chandronnait, Gloria Rivard, Mary Daigneau, Marie Martin, and Rita Perreault have been hard at work for days in order to complete a detailed blue print of the study hall, illustrating every desk and indicating the exact location of each cud of gum they have been forced to relinquish. This priceless gift they leave in the care of the school li- brarian to lend to anyone longing for a morsel of the best in tender-aged-mint gum. Take A Letter. Miss Iones Every class has its secretaries, you know, those efficient, career-bent young ladies who are out to take the bull by the horns fas the saying goes? and to emerge

and R. Rayno. These boys may have you buffaloed, but we've had an inside tip that these ruthless Boyers have methods ot their own in the art of How to snare your chicken. So, to you junior Casanovas, they leave special appoint- ment cards so that you may gain prompt admission to their den if your lovely flame dies and you suddenly realize that life is not just a bowl of cherries. There's No Business Like Monkey Business Roger CHOW much did we make'?l Bush- man and Gerard Clrlow much have we got?l Montambeault, the senior class business men, leave their accounting ability and secrets to nobody. Find your own! l l Leave The Dishes In The Sink Every noon, to the tune of running water and the smashing of dishes, An- thony Keating and Leo Robitaille douse their lily-white hands in the dish washer and emerge with a new type sandpaper and a glorious new color, Vibrant Red. The reason for this amazing transforma- tion is a special new hand cream discov- ered by the boys and which they leave to Earl Lowell and Wm. Miller, so that these future dish washers may always keep their hands lovely to look at, and lovely to hold. The Old Gray Mare Ain't What She Used To Be Are you young, full of vim and vigor? You are? Aren't you lucky? Then we of the hockey team advise you to start training now and with the right equip- ment. Maxine Andrews donates an oxy- gen container for that second wind, Gloria Gilman-binoculars with which to keep the puck in sight, Irene Dumond- a new human jet propulsion device for extra speed, Barbara Wooley-steel plates to anyone who finds shin guards inadequate, Virginia Magoon-a shovel in case your hockey stick isn't enough to get by the opposing goalie, and to Miss Kyrka, a special wish for a successful 1947 season. In Witness Whereof: We have set our hand and seal this thirteenth day of Iune, in the year nineteen hundred and forty- seven to last Till The End Of Time. 'XPRIMA DONNA MERCIER MAESTRO PIELA
