GORDON FITZPATRICK East Street “ Fitz ” Franklin “ No words suffice to tell his talents.” “ Fitz ” was another intellectual member of our class. If he looked into a subject you could be sure that it was well investi¬ gated. One subject he seemed particularly interested in was avia¬ tion and we were quite surprised to learn that he had not taken this for his vocation. He also demonstrated his talents on the track. Gordon never started anything which was not well finished, and he was thoroughly dependable. We never knew him to crab, and his good nature appeared to remain unruffled during the most trying circumstance. We are sure that he will make as thorough a job of his life as he made of his high school career. Hockey ’28; Track ’28; “ Oskey ” Finance Committee. MILDRED GAY Pleasant Street “ Milly ” Franklin “ Let’s do it and get it over with.” With Milly, “ Still water runs deep.” Not many of us know her very well, but those who do will testify to her ability as a commer¬ cial student and hair dresser. It seems “Milly” has an ambition along the last mentioned line, and we are glad she will continue with that idea at the Boston Hair Dressing School. We expect to see her running a beauty parlor of her own some day. Interclass Track ’26, ' 27, ’28. VIOLET GEORGE School Street “ Georgie ” Franklin “A tripping dainty miss, with spirit rather high.” Georgie was one of the happy-go-lucky members of our class, and could keep us in gales of laughter continually. She was just chuck full of witty sayings and she always had a ready comeback for any remark. There was nothing Violet would not do for a friend ; she was generous, big hearted, and always good company. Georgie was a good athlete and was always there. Blisters, sprains, or blizzards made no difference to her. May good luck always follow you, Georgie! Interclass Track ’26, ' 27, ’28; Dramatics ’28.

DANIEL D’ERRICO Ruggles Street “ Danny ” Franklin “ A good reputation is more valuable than money.” » Danny was a spirited fellow ' with lots of pep and energy. He liked discussions, particularly spirited ones. He seemed forever in a red hot argument. He wore a perpetual smile, which even the dread of exams, the excitement of a hand concert, or a basketball thrill did not erase from his features. Danny was a very friendly lad and known from one end of the town to the other. We send with you our best wishes for success in whatever field of work you try, Danny, and hope your spirit is always as ready as now, and we don ' t want any argument about that. Band ’27, ' 28; Marshal ' 28; Basketball (Second Team) ’28; Interclass Basketball ’26, ' 27, ' 28; Interclass Track ’26, ’27. ROBERT ELMER FALLOWS Crooks Corner “Sonny” Bellingham “ The Collegiate Boy.” Sonny hailed from Bellingham. His were the characteristics that made for the good all-around chap; generosity, and joviality, a winning smile, and a willing heart. Sonny was an ardent sup¬ porter of the Thursday evening dancing classes and was indeed a Merry fellow! ” “ Sonny ” was a good sport and made many friends. We always saw that cheerful smile on his countenance, and we feel sure that if we met him some day in far off China, he would still wear the same happy smile. Sonny wants to become a Golf Pro’ and after seeing him in knickers, we are sure he will succeed. Junior Prom Committee ' 27; School Marshal ' 28; “ Oskey ” Financial Staff ' 28; Baseball ’28. PRESTON JOSEPH FARRINGTON Pleasant Street “ Buck ” Franklin “ The secret of success is constancy to purpose.” “ Buck ” was an iron man on the football team, and a clever all- around athlete. He was one of the most respected and best liked fellows of the class. His cheery modest way won the hearts of all of us. Activities? It made no difference to him. He entered into the spirit of whatever was happening or whatever required his services, with as much vim and zest as he hit the line in foot¬ ball. As a good fellow, he ranked A-one, and won the second prize in the Singleton Prize-speaking Contest in his Senior year. We all appreciated his good naturedness and humor, and consider ourselves lucky for having known him. May your star be bright and successful, “ Buck.” Football ’26, ' 27, ’28 (Capt. ’28) ; Interclass Basketball ’27; Track ' 28; Public Speaking ' 28.

HAROLD TURNER GILBERT Summer Street “ Dutch ” Franklin “ Quick of wit and humor.” “ Dutch ” might be called a Rhode Island follower as far as politics are concerned. It is more than second nature for Dutchy to argue, and always on the opposite side. Even if, however, you do argue the rest of your life, (and you will as long as women live) we’re for you, Dutchy.” Alvin has found a priceless aid in Dutchy as associate Bus. Mgr., for he certainly has a clever bus¬ iness head. For this reason we know Dutch will succeed in the business world. Lots of luck, Dutch. “ Oskey ” Ass. Bus. Mgr.; Interclass Basketball (Capt) ’27, ’28; Band ’27, ’28; Dramatics ' 27, ’28; Junior Prom Committee ’27; Senior Class Ring Committee. SOPHIE GORDON Alpine Street Franklin “ By the work one knows the workman.” We could always tell Sophie’s work by the way in which it was done and that was always thoroughly and neatly. Besides being studious, which has resulted in her high standing, Sophie has gained many true friends. She was always friendly but reserved. However, when she was known, the reserve dropped, revealing a jolly personality, and her pals found her a most agreeable chum. She was always a salvation when the class was at sea as to the right answer, for at precisely the right moment she would drop the correct solution. We know that F. H. S. is but a stepping stone to success for Sophie, and when Simmons College claims her, they will have gained a pearl indeed. With her goes our best wishes. “Oskey” Financial Committee; Glee Club ’25, ’26, ' 27, ' 28; Dra¬ matics ' 27; Hallowe’en Committee. HENRY VICTOR GREGORY Beaver Street “Greg” Franklin “ I love my teachers but you know, My fun must have a little show.” “Greg” was a happy-go-lucky fellow, good in athletics, and very popular. He helped our teams to victory in hockey and baseball. Henry had a facility for getting into tight places, but he was equally good at getting out of them. We never knew him to hurry, and he appeared calm and collected in the most exciting moments. “ Doc ” will vouch for his chemistry ability, we are sure. Certainly the same qualities that have made Greg so popular in High School will make him successful at Rensselaer, which he will enter in the Fall. “Oskey” editorial Staff; Baseball ’27, ’28; Track ’26; Hockey ' 28; Dramatics ’27, ’28; Junior Prom Committee ’27; School Mar¬ shal ’28.
