Franklin High School - Oskey Yearbook (Franklin, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 52 of the 1933 volume:

Jfjarefuorfr 1. When Life’s grim fight has wearied all our souls, And ceaseless toil has made us long for peace, When struggles for success have claimed our minds, Oh, Book, thou will be sure and swift release. 2 . Each picture shall unlock a secret drawer Of long-forgotten files in memory’s chest, Each word a pleasant story shall unfold, Each page invoke our tired hearts to rest. 3. And in our dreams again to see each face — Once more to hear the voice of long-gone friends Shall bear us far aloft on wings of joy, And happiness of love that never ends. JVcluuifalehgetttents We, the Editorial Board of the Oskey, in behalf of the Class of 1933, wish to extend our sincerest appreci¬ ation to those who have made this, our annual, possible. Among the others who have contributed to the success of this venture we particularly wish to thank Mr. Patty, whose guiding hand has always kept us pointed towards our goal; Miss Wiggin, who has super¬ vised the writing of the material; the photographer, whose clean-cut work has made possible the excellent pictures within this volume ; Mr. Ralston, for the spirit of cooperation he has shown; and to all others who have contributed to its success; and lastly we the Board wish to thank our classmates for the way in which they have supported our project. We know that this Oskey would never have been possible if the committee chosen to investig ' ate such a venture had not worked tirelessly toward that end. Therefore we hope that that committee will accept our whole-hearted thanks for their effort. If, in the editing of this book, we have made any errors, we solicit your kindly criticism; if we have of¬ fended anyone in any way, we beg an humble pardon. We hope that our edition of the Oskey will prove worthy enough to warrant the continuance of a year book and with this thought we give over to your hands Volume VI.

WOODWORTH 12 Pond Street Franklin “It is the quiet worker who succeeds.’’ Nineteen jicmthal This year, because of few social events, the Senior Class became somewhat dull or dead. This era of dullness or deadness prevailed only a short while, as one of our classmates, Charlie White, appeared with a Scandal Sheet, which was to be published weekly, and was read by Seniors only. The word Scandal woke us from our dullness, and stirred plenty of controversy. As each copy was edited, the sheet became more and more slanderous. Disaster came, after several sheets were seen by the faculty. The sheet was resumed and was then known as the Gossiper, which was sold to all teachers and students. This didn ' t prove-very successful, as it was cen sored by faculty advisers, and only a little scandal appeared. The following are selections from the editions: Jimmy Boucher has promised to repeat his sensational feat of scoring a basket for an opposing team if promised immunity from Mr. Hilbert’s wrath. These events would be MIRACLES if they ever should happen. If Brute Riley quit being a fish for DYNAMITE MARTEL. If the editor escapes annihilation, and quits being a FISH. If the hyphen on this typewriter ever works right. If SUNSHINE SIMON ever quits trying to get a drag with her teachers. HOLD IT — MISS SIMON —■ Remember the punishment for murder. If Dago DeBaggis ever quits chastizing Miss Lawrence in Italian. The female species of the school have united, and intend to edit a counter-scandal sheet. We at least have the honor of editing the original. The editors, all females, include, Lillian Saltman, Phyllis Davis, Elizabeth Hale, Eleanor Holmes, Ruth Carlson, and Russell Chase. If you don ' t think Ronny Palumbo is a second Cab Calloway, come around to the auditorium some noon. Mrs. Riley: John, the trouble with you is that you are too lazy. Why don’t you work as the industrious ants do? Flabby: Nope, not me, I’m too smart: work or no work the ants get stepped on. We had always considered Hot-Cha Mann fairly intelligent, but imagine the vice-president of the Senior class going home and telling his father his mid-year exam marks the night of an important game. What a change a year can make in a youth. A year ago this time, Cummings was just a studious, brilliant, and apparently over- serious young man. Look at him now. He goes around singing popular songs, expresses his opinion of prominent orchestras, harasses Miss L ittlefield by making unasked-for comments and topped it all off last Friday afternoon. Enter today’s comedians: Oo-fa Turco: Say, Turkey, what ever happened to Axle Bennett’s iron will, that he used to brag so much about? Turkey Burgess: Oh, “Good-Time” Nelson’s tears rusted it. Doc. Frazer recently congratulated your correspondent on the last Scandal Sheet. Was the editor’s face crimson? Nick Vignone is still slightly love-sick. The girl responsible for the deplorable condition aforementioned, “Brain Storm” Longton by name, is hereby officially notified that she owes ye editor 10 . It might not be a bad idea if: George Vozzella quit claiming he is a star boxer. Telo Catalano quit hanging around the Sophomore girls. Dumb David Mann: Say, Jack, I saw your car parked down at the lake last night for two hours. What was the matter? Did you have a flat tire? Jack McMorrow: If she had been, do you think I would have kept her there two hours? T iventy CLASS DAY i History of tlte Class of 1933 In September, 1929, we, the class of 1 933, entered Franklin High School, fres h from a long summer vacation and from the glories of lording it over the seventh graders at Junior High School. Little did we know that all this pomposity was to vanish in a few short davs. In fact, a few days of wandering around, as if we were in a daze, and of the none too helpful upper-classmen made us wonder if we had ever had this feeling of worldliness, or if it were all a dream. The first remarkable event in our lives as students of Franklin High School was the Freshman Acquaintance Party. We turned out 146 strong, for we heard that refreshments were free, for us. Aside from participating in games, having our arms pumped vigorously, and being fore¬ most at the refreshment stand, our class did not seem to be of great importance, socially. The class decided, as a whole, that the art of dancing must be acquired. The annual Hallowe’en Party was really the first event at which we had an opportunity to try our new found art — but alas — we were not as successful as we had hoped to be! Our dancing seemed to consist of bumps, stops, and jerks. We have learned since that Practice makes Perfect.” As the time drew near for mid-year examinations it was noticed that the Freshmen were carting tons of books homeward every night! Even the upper-classmen seemed to wear a har- rassed look! When the results of the exams were made known, we felt well recompensed for the numbers of hours spent in studying. The brightest spot in our lives as Freshmen was the one when a member of our class won first prize for the annual Alden Club Essay. We were all very proud of our classmate, Whitney Pedersen. This event raised our feeling of inferiority and made us regard the upper-classmen with a slightly different attitude. We were also very arrogant concerning the fact that a few of our classmates were in the Operetta, and especially so, because a Freshman had the leading role. By now our first year at Franklin High School was rapidly drawing to a close. We had taken part in plays at school, and members of our class had been prominent on the various athletic teams. We were eagerly looking forward to our next year. In September, 1930, we were removed from our lofty position on the third floor to make room for the raw material from Junior High School. We now considered ourselves full- fledged High School students, since we were on the second floor. This year an increasing number of our classmates participated in dramatics — even if in minor parts — and in athletics, even if it consisted of warming the benches.” A number of the class of 193 3 contested in the Singleton Prize Speaking Contest, and although we didn ' t win first prize, we came through with flying colors. As Junior Prom time drew near, we were all wondering what “plums” in the form of partners would come our way, although we all knew that the Sophomores were asked only to fill in.” Our class went in full array to the Junior Prom that year. We assured ourselves that the following year we would outdo the snobbish upper-classmen. The vocal talent of the Sophomore class was again prominent in the Operetta of 1931. Many of the leading parts were filled by members of our class. When we returned to school in the autumn of our third year, we found that the original 146 of our class had diminished to 100. T wenty-two This year we elected our class officers, and various committees for Junior Prom and Class Rings. The officers elected were, President, Richard Bennett; Vice-President, George Burgess; Secretary, Dolores Martel; Treasurer, Robert Cummings. Later in the year we decided to purchase our rings during our Senior Year. The first prize for the Alden Club Essay was won again by Whitney Pedersen, one of our classmates. We felt highly elated to think that we had won this honor over the Seniors. Members of the Junior Class were more prominent on the various teams this year. We felt certain that none of the organizations would have been quite so victorious minus the members of our class. Little was done in Dramatics this year, but representatives of our class had major parts in the few plays that were produced. Our classmates were again prominent in the operetta, one of our number, Marjorie Knowlton, taking the lead, as in previous years. The Junior Prom this year was both a financial and social success. The decorations were beautifully done to represent a Colonial Ballroom. We felt that the Junior Prom of 193 2 was the best Junior Prom ever held, — regardless of what other classes might say. In 1931-’32 a local store sponsored a contest for the four classes in High School. The class receiving the most votes in the outcome would receive a prize of $25.00. We worked industriously all winter and were in great competition with the Senior Class. It is needless to say that the store offering the reward received all of our patronage, although it consisted mostly of nickels and dimes. It was a most happy day for the Class of 1933 when we were awarded the prize of $25.00. This money was used for the Prom, and without it we feel that we could not have made our social event as successful as it was. At the beginning of our Senior Year, we found the number of our classmates had de¬ creased to about 90, and now as the school year is ending there are about 80 members in our graduating class. We elected Class Officers early in our Senior Year, President, Richard Bennett; Vice- President, David Mann; Secretary, Elizabeth Hale: and Treasurer, Robert Cummings. A Ring Committee and Year Book Committee were also organized at this time. We received our rings shortly after the mid-winter vacation — and as the present Juniors were receiving theirs at the same time, we compared them to ours with glee — for in our opinions, ours were far superior. We did not fare so easily in regard to the Year Books, but finally after much opposition we decided to have one. Although athletic ability, this year, has not been so great as in other years, we do not feel that this reflects on our class -— for we have no really good supporting talent! Now as our days at Franklin High School are drawing to a close, we are finding our¬ selves busier every moment. The Year Book must be completed, the school play, “New Brooms, is in the making, and with Junior Prom an ever present thought in cur mind, we are finding our last few months as Seniors both busy and happy. We are now looking forward to our graduation week — the Baccalaureate Service on Sunday night, the Senior Class Play on Monday night, the Alumni Banquet on Tuesday night, Class Day on Wednesday night, and Graduation on Thursday night. Certainly Graduation Week would not be complete without the Senior Hop at Lake Pearl on Friday night. Now as we look forward to the future — our thoughts are full of wishes for success and happiness for each other. Each day at Franklin High School is impressed on our minds, and we feel that the happy thoughts of the years as students of Franklin High School will linger long in our memory. CLASS MOTTO “Personality is the foundation of all success’’ CLASS COLORS Blue and Silver T wenty-three r (Llje Class piill I, Charles White, legal attorney-at-law, do herewith present the will of my client, the honorable Senior Class of Franklin High School, whic h has been sentenced to “Partial” oblivion (as far as teachers are concerned) on June 23, 1933, by their honors, the School Committee of Franklin High School.

ROBERT LLOYD CUMMINGS Thirty Class Poem L’ENVOIE Farewell, ye pleasant pastures, and farewell, Ye sheltered fields and calm, untroubled hills; No more we wake in light of morning sun, Soothed by the gentle breeze and winding rills. No more the shepherd’s reed shall call us forth, Laughing and happy, from the evening’s rest; No longer may we gambol on the green; No more by careless peace shall we be blest. The wide world calls, the vast unchartered deeps Beckon, and we must leave the placid fold; Forth we must fare upon the ocean’s crest, To sail for newer lands, for deeds untold. Sadly we go, yet eager for the test, Our eyes ahead, we search expectantly For islands fair, forgetful of the reefs That lie beneath the surface of the sea. Once more, ye pleasant pastures, fare ye well. With tear-filled eyes we bid ye fond adieu; And oft on stormy waves, our hearts will turn Back to these joyful hours ’neath skies of blue.

Thirty-two Jitufrent Cumtctl The Franklin High School Student Council is now at the end of its third year. It has made many activities possible without faculty assistance except for supervision. This year the officers have been: Nicholas Vignone—president, Vernon Hutchinson— Vice-President, Elizabeth Hale—Secretary. The members ha ve been: Seniors: Nicholas Vignone Vernon Hutchinson Elizabeth Hale Dino Viola Joseph Lombardi David Mann Juniors: Carolyn Parren Charlotte Mackenzie Norma Longton Harold Rice Julian Dickey Sophomores: Alfred Tero Arthur Dye Ray Parmenter Barbara Woodworth Freshmen: Harold Talbot Earl Sutherland Rita Johnson Last fall the Student Council installed a new Marshal System in which each marshal had a post near the room in which he had spent the previous period. This system eliminated much confusion and has proved more successful than the former system. The Student Council in cooperation with Mr. Patty has arranged the assembly programs which have included plays given by various school groups, speakers, and picture-illustrated lectures. Socials have been held by the Council; at these, music has been furnished by orchestras largely made up of High School students. We trust that the good work of the Student Council may continue for years to come. ®j t (SI tt Club This year, owing to the change in period schedule, the Glee Club has been holding its classes on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. At the beginning of the year, two classes of study were held: one in Music, and one in Harmony. After the Christmas vacation, the class in Harmony was abandoned and the time given to practice on the operetta, “Pirates of Penzance.” However, on account of the cost of production, the operetta will not be given before the public. Selections from it will be given at the exhibition. Thirty-four Front row (left to right) — Bailey, Dumas, Gianetti, Goodwin , Bower, Woloski, Landry, Willert, Baker, Rosa, Buteau, Hancock, Mason.

Back row (left to right) — Fleming, Ficco, Vignone, Lombardi, Whalen, Lougee, Pedersen, Laviolette, Dye, Johnson, Richardson. }t J mxb In seven years, the Band has developed into one of the finest organizations in the school. Just seven years ago, Mr. Patty founded this organization, starting with a few boys who were able to play instruments, and a few others who were soon taught the art of Band Music. So far this year, the band has played for football games, for the Girls’ Physical Exhi¬ bition, for assemblies, and for a series of weekly concerts held on the common. A new system which was organized three years ago still exists. Underclassmen grouped as “New Band’’ are taught to play different instruments. When they have acquired sufficient musical knowledge, they are transferred to the Old Band. The Band is directed by Mr. Patty, who is assisted by Mr. Alfred Webber. The Band officers, elected at the beginning of the year, were, President, Romeo Palumbo; Vice President, Vernon Hutchinson; Secretary, Amando Lombardi; Treasurer, Joseph Lombardi.

The orchestra has assisted at several assemblies during the year. Other school affairs the orchestra played for were, What Happened to Judy, given by the Commercial Club of the High School, Hallowe ' en Party, and Graduation. On May fourth, there was a presentation by Mr. Webber of a most interesting concert which proved very successful. The Orchestra played several selections and both i nstrumental and vocal numbers were given by members of the Orchestra.

Center row (left to right) — Daddario, DeGrazio, Garneau; Catalano, Captain; Vozzella, Martin, Tavlone. Back row (left to right) — Mgr. Abbott, Scott, Graves, Vozzella, Hancock, Riley, Galuza, Korff, Guerin, Saster, Coach Bart McDonough. Our baseball team this year is captained by that super athlete, Telo “Whataman” Catalano, whose hefty bat has always helped league contests through ( his high school career. Captain Telo and Coach McDonough have been confronted with a difficult task, since only a few aspirants for position have had experience; but present indications are that they will succeed in moulding a fine team from the material at hand. On the tentative team the Class of 193 3 has only two representatives, Catalano and Hancock, but they are providing plenty of “punch” and making the class of 1933’s presence felt. Several of our class are members of the squad, Riley, George Vozzella, Graves, Mann, Palumbo, and Harry Vozzella being most prominent. For the first year in several, the Senior Class is not prominently represented on the mound staff nor has a Senior as yet succeeded in gaining a position in the outfield although we are well represented with aspirants. Maybe as the season unfolds our class will gain more prestige by additional positions being won by Seniors. Forty Front row (left to right) — Martin, Burgess and Palumbo, Co-Captains; DeGrazio. Second row (left to right) — Mgr. Vignone, LeDuc, Crothers, MacCahill, Jenest, Mucciarone, Coach Hilbert. Basketball With only two members of last year’s regular team with which to start the season this year, Coach Hilbert moulded a presentable quintet consisting of a few Seniors with the remaining players underclassmen. The team played a hard schedule. To be sure, our team did not secure many victories but this cannot be traced to anything but the size of the players on the team. Despite the fact that the players had basketball ability and understood perfectly the rules of the game as presented to them by Coach Hilbert, they had to give way to their opponents in height. Our team this year consisted of Co-Captains Romeo Palumbo and George Burgess, right forward and left guard respectively; Americo DeGrazio, left forward; John Martin, right guard; Francis McCahill, center. Edward Crothers. Homer Jenest, Anthony Mucciarone, and Vernon Anderson comprised the background of our first string substitutes. The Junior-Senior game this year found the Senior boys bowing to the underclassmen which gives promise of a better basketball team for Franklin High School next year. Forty-one First row (left to right) -— Brunelli, MacMichael, DeBaggis, Kussmaul, Captain Vozzella, Rice, Bennett, Crosta, Mann. Second row (left to right) — Scott, Buckley, De Cecco, Martin, Boucher, Catalano, Vozzella, Lombardi, Tavalone, Coach McDonough. Third row (left to right) — Mgr. Crothers, Masi, Bozek, Keefe, Costello, Graves, Romikitis, Mucciarone, Turco, Mucciarone, Assistant Mgr. Abbott. The 193 2 football season was not so successful as the 1931 season as far as winning games goes. In 193 2 Franklin won three games, lost four, and tied two. The schedule this year was much more difficult than that of the preceding season. This year for the first time in a number of years Franklin High played Walpole. This was one of the best games of the season, ending in a scoreless tie. The team was captained by George Vozzella, who played fullback. Bart McDonough, a graduate as well as a football player of Dartmouth, coached the team. The team of 193 2 had much more support than that of previous years, which shows that Franklin is becoming a Football town. Ve hope that football will continue to have the support that it had this past year, for the more support given a team, the more incentive there is to win. We also hope that, in the years to come, Franklin High School will put forth the best football team in the State.
