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.

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.

EDGAR KNOWLTON Summer Street “Brady” “Ed” Frankllin “ Smiles galore — wit encore.” Brady is one of Franklin’s ablest and most jovial representatives. Ed has been our leading basketeer especially during the season of ' 27 - 2 %. Ed surely could make those fellows “ step.” Proof of this is that they received second place in the South Shore Tournament held at Brockton. Brady was sort of a woman hater for his first three years, hut something (?) we don ' t know what, changed his opinion of the opposite sex in his final year. His popularity is similar to that of a Chesterfield cigarette, so it must he deserved. Good luck, Ed, in wdiatever profession you take up, and re¬ member the many friends at F. H. S. who will not forget you. Class Vice Pres. ’25; Glee Club ’25, ’26, ’27, ’28; Band ’26, ’27, ’28; President of Band ’27, ’28; Basketball ’27, Capt. ’28; Junior Prom Committee. JOHN KUPNICKI Crooks Corner “ Johnny ” Bellingham “ It is the quiet worker who succeeds.” “Fore!!! ” This yell brings to mind Johnny, our golf pro. You all know the hoy who is always smiling and genial, never obtru¬ sive, and so well liked by those fortunate enough to he his friends. He was always a quiet appearing person, hut don’t judge a per¬ son too harshly on first appearance. It is safe to say that the Business World will receive an honest, hard-working member when Johnny is admitted to it. Although he is quiet, he has been a hard worker and a good scholar, and since hard work is the key to success, we should soon see Johnny sitting on top of the world looking down at the rest of us. Baseball squad ’28. ALVIN O. LANDRY JR. Pleasant Street “ Frenchy ” “ Duffer ” Franklin “Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.’’ Who’s ambitious? Who does loads of the hard work? Who’s always friendly and ready to help a person out? Frenchy! Did you see a cloud of dust going up the street? Frenchy was ahead of that on some errand to help accomplish some important task. “Duffer ” was always there when it came to a smile, and in this way he captivated many hearts. Although not a leader in ath¬ letics, Alvin achieved success in whatever he went out for. It w r as mainly thru’ Frenchy’s efforts that this famous edition of the “ Oskey ” is in existence. He plans on entering B. U. next year. May good fortune go with you always, Frenchy. “Oskey” Editor in chief and Business Mgr.; Junior Prom Committee ' 27 ; Junior Dance Chairman ’27; Hallowe’en Com¬ mittee ' 27 ; Dramatics ’25, ’28; Track ’28; Interclass Basketball ’26, ’27; Interclass Track ’26, ’27. jt A
