WOODROW ABBOTT 136 School Street Franklin, Mass. “Woodie” “He relished a joke and rejoiced in a pun.” Woodrow was well-liked by all who knew him in High School. He surely knew how to manage the various sports. He made an extremely good Co-Captain of the basketball team. Not only was he a fine looking fellow but full of fun. Woodie was one of the school’s best marshals. When com¬ mittees were chosen he was usually on one of them and we all enjoyed working with him. We wish the best of luck to Wood- row whatever his future may be.

ROSE ACQUASALIENTE Paine Street South Bellingham, Mass. “Aloof, and yet a spirit grand.” Although Rose entered our ranks in her junior year, it wasn’t long before she gathered a large circle of friends. Her striking individuality captured the hearts of her classmates. Once ad¬ justed to our school routine she ranked high in scholastic at¬ tainments. Her oral compositions made us wonder “That one small head could carry all she knew.” Candid, unbiased, studious, and one who recognized the more excellent things of life, she will always be remembered. Year Book Committee 4, Cap and Gown Committee 4. WALDO ARNOLD 206 Maple Street Franklin, Mass. “Peace is rarely denied to the peaceful.” Waldo is one of those exceedingly tranquil boys, possessing the rare gift for maintaining silence. For all his reticence in this line, there are baits which quickly attract him. One of these is the mention of stamps, for Waldo is a philatelist (in understandable English, a stamp collector). Science is another unfailing bait. Waldo’s plans for the future are indefinite al¬ though he hopes to be able to continue in school. Marshal 3. CARL BAILEY 38 Crescent Street Franklin, Mass. “The days of our youth are the days of our glory.” This is Carl—he needs no further introduction, for what girl has not said, “Who is that chap?” Utter impeccableness at all times marks Carl as a paragon in style and fashion. Just how Carl manages to be nonchalant despite his long limbs (which he insists upon draping about the furniture) is still a mystery. Carl is a Pied Piper when it comes to sax playing and attracting (not rats), and he has proved his worth in our musical organizations.

RAY PARMENTER 466 King Street Franklin, Mass. “Of soul sincere, In action faithful, and in honor clear.” The class of ’3 5 considers itself fortunate to have at its head a boy like Ray, capable, willing, and possessed of initiative. Ray, a most popular member of the class, has two very dis¬ tinguishing characteristics, a head of hair, decidedly on the sunny side, and a disposition as even and serene as his grin. Ray ' s headed for Mass. State and chemistry along which line he always excelled in High School. Marshal 1-2-3-4, Dramatics 3-4. Senior Class President, Ring Committee 3, Prom. Com. 3, Vice Pres, of Junior Class, Finance Committee Oskey.” RUSSELL BELKNAP 255 Union Street Franklin, Mass. “Blondie” “When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see.” It ' s the combination of brawn and the art of flattering the Weaker sex that has made Blondie” the fair-haired class fa¬ vorite. Given the accoutrements of a football or hockey uniform Russell has always looked pretty formidable to the other team. Franklin High loses a fine athlete when Russell graduates, but some college, as yet undecided upon, will gain one. Football 2-3-4, Hockey 4, Editorial Committee for “Oskey” 4, Prom. Committee 3, Dramatics 4, Ring Committee 3, Mar¬ shal 3-4, Vice President of Senior Class, Football Captain 4. LAURA MARTELLO 17 Howard Street Franklin, Mass. “Laura” “Grace was in all her steps; In every gesture dignity and love.” Who doesn’t know Laura, the most capable secretary in the class? Laura is certainly a popular member of our class. She wrote the words to the “School Song” in her senior year. Typing and shorthand agree with Laura so well, that Busi¬ ness is to be her vocation, and we know she will make good in whatever she undertakes. We all wish her plenty of luck and happiness, but most of all, success. Class Secretary 3-4, Blue and White 4, Editorial Commit¬ tee “Oskey” 4, Junior Prom Committee 3, Basketball 1-2, Freshman Acquaintance Party 4. IRENE McKENNA West Central Street Franklin, Mass. “Mack” “Legs” “Her eyes as stars of twilight fair; Like twilight’s too, her dusky hair.” The gayest of the gay! Whenever there’s any fun going on, you’ll find Irene in the midst of it, just rarin ' to go! Never a dull moment when she’s around, particularly when she feels the urge to lift her voice in song, which is often. “Mack” has been of great assistance to the varsity basketball squad and to the Glee Club during her high school career. Judging from her capable fulfillment of the position of Senior Class treasurer and staff member of this year ' s “Blue and White,” Irene will be a model business woman.

osftea YOLANDA BARTELLONI 62 Wachusett Street Franklin, Mass. “Yola” “Curley” “There ' s fun in everything we meet.” Yola is the girl who had many friends both in school and outside. Her favorite pastime was writing and answering notes. One special period was devoted to “notes.” Dancing, singing, and riding in snappy cars is what Yolanda craved and she came through with flying colors. “Curley” could draw but was very shy in showing her art. We don’t know just what “Yola” plans to do, but what¬ ever it is the class wishes her all the success in the world. Blue and White 4, Art Committee “Oskey” 4, Marshal 3. MARY BILAZARIAN Cottage Street Franklin, Mass. “Dizzy” “A smile for everyone” Small of stature, quick and active, Mary is one of the peppy girls of the class. Mary’s doctrine is one of constant action with allowance for nothing dull and staid. Although all sports rank high in favor, swimming is her favorite. Her hobby is chewing gum at which, needless to say, she is quite adept. Whatever field Mary may enter after high school days are over, we wish her luck. Track 1-2-3, Marshal 3, Glee Club 1-2. SYLVIA BLANCHARD 159 East Central Street Franklin, Mass. “And vital feelings of delight. Shall rear her form to stately height.” There has never been any need for Sylvia to crane her neck to see over other heads what was happening at a track meet or football game, for she has the advantage of being tall. But never let that worry you, Sylvia, for you can always see what’s coming. Seriously, though, Sylvia is a quiet, well-liked girl to whom we wish only the “mosta of the besta” of luck. ARTHUR BLUNSDEN 74 Cottage Street Franklin, Mass. “Bunny” “A comrade blithe and full of glee Who dares to laugh out loud and free.” Arthur, control that temper! One could never imagine this blushing, amiable chap possessing a temperament proof to anger. The occasions, however, are so rare that we need not worry about them, but we do want to make you familiar with his excellent dancing. Any young lady would be delighted to be his partner on a dance floor. His frequent appearance at the Y. M. in which place his athletic enthusiasm is noticeable sets us to believe he will pursue sports. Are we right, Arthur? Jr. Prom. Com. 3, Music 1. Page Twenty
