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.

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.

JOHN EDWARD HISCOCK West Central Street “ Long John ” Unionville “ Sensible people find nothing useless.” John is our representative from England, and many are the times when he has amused us by misplacing his “ haitches.” But he surely “showed us how” in Physics and Math! John could take a group of figures, letters, and x’s and make them say any¬ thing. On several occasions he even corrected the textbooks. John was more or less quiet, although he was always ready to enter into a discussion on a scientific subject, and he was usually right! When F. H. S. loses John, Lynn General Electric will gain a fine man. Good luck to you, John; we’re betting on you. Football squad ' 27. RUTH LEAETTE JOSLIN School Street “ Rufus ” Franklin “ Wisdom was not her only virtue.” Ruth was one of those girls whom you so often read about and seldom meet. If you should combine all the nice things of the feminine sex such as best looks, best student, friend, and sport you would have Ruth. A sunny smile was ever on her counte¬ nance and a friendly greeting for all on her lips. Ruth will go down in the H. S. annals as one of the very best students and most popular individuals in the history of the school. She always had loads of friends, masculine and feminine, from all parts of the country. She was not only active socially but athletically. Ruth’s plans are to enter Normal School. We envy the children who will have her for a teacher. “ Oskey ” Financial Committee; Junior Prom Committee; Dra¬ matics ' 26, ' 28; Basketball ’26; Glee Club ’25, ’26, ’28; Blue and White Staff; Junior Class Dance Committee. MAX LOUIS KETOVER Dean Avenue “Max” “Red” Franklin “Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.” Max joined our class in bis Freshman year, coming to us from Woonsocket High. He certainly has made his presence felt amongst us in more ways than one. Where ever you saw his red hair shining in a group, you were always sure to find a jolly crowd. His wit and pleasing manner have made for him many friends of both sexes. Last year Max played as a star forward on the sec¬ ond team in basketball. This year his brilliant playing won for him a place in the hearts of all the enthusiastic basketball follow¬ ers, not only among the High School students, but also among the town’s people. Next, Max is going to leave Franklin to study at Lowell Tech. Good luck to you, Max. Basketball ' 27, ’28; Mgr. Track ' 27; Mgr.
