DOMINIC DELFINO 31 Chestnut Street Franklin, Mass. “Dinah” “A great sport and a friend to all.” ' Tis often said that a rolling stone gathers no moss, but here is one fellow who succeeded in obtaining Morse of the genus “Dot.” On the diamond Dinah has given valuable assistance as an alert third baseman. He ' s a chummy chap with a fasci¬ nating smile who, unlike most athletes, is also a smooth dancer. Dinah’s hobby is photography, and were he to decide to make this his vocation every one would have his pictures taken. Why? With whom does that smile not raise havoc? Football 2, Baseball 2-3-4, Dramatics 3, Glee Club, Band 1-2-3-4, Halloween Party Committee 3. JENNIE DIPIETRO 19 Mechanic Street Bellingham, Mass. “JEN” ‘‘A friend when friends are wanted most.” Jennie is certainly a necessity to the Commercial Department. It seems as though she is always typing and running off stencils for some teacher. Jennie seems to be paving the way to a suit¬ able position, and we all wish her the best that luck can offer. “Jen” is a very likable person, as you will agree if you have talked with her. Good luck, Jen, and don ' t forget the good times you had in F. H. S. Basketball 1-2, Music 1, Year Book Committee 4, Blue and White 4. ARTHUR DYE 228 W. Central Street Franklin, Mass. “ART” “7 scorn to change mg state with kings.” Art has always had more or less of a quiet disposition and has always been a good student, though studying did not hold his entire interest. He also was prominent in sports, and in the band, of which he has been an active member during his four years in High School. His ardent school spirit prompted him to attend all the games and parties whether he cared about going or not. Although Arthur ' s plans for the future have not been completed as yet, we wish him all the luck possible in what¬ ever he attempts. Jr. Prom. Com. 3, Cap and Gown Com. 4, Band 1-2-3-4. MARTHA ELLSWORTH 693 East Central Street Franklin, Mass. “Martha” “Those smiles and glances let me see.” Martha was a quiet girl in our class, but it was indeed a great pleasure to have her as one of our classmates. Can Martha drive a car? Sure she can, and we all remember the day she received her license. Martha was never late for school and she could be seen in her homeroom with a large circle of friends gathered around her, discussing the events of the day. Her plans for the future are to go further on, and her suc¬ cess in life is sure. Blue and White 4, Music 4. Page Twenty-Six

ROSE DeBAGGIS 72 Alpine Place Franklin, Mass. Rosie” ‘‘A nymph of healthiest hue.” Rose DeBaggis. The name immediately brings to your mind a girl with wavy brown hair and laughing eyes. She is good- natured and makes a joke out of almost nothing. She seems to be having a lot of fun this year and is always with a fun-loving group. We wonder what Rose will do when she is separated from her friends in school. Make the best of the present, Rose, for who knows what the future holds for us! Blue and White 4, Track 2, Glee Club 1, Social Committee for Year Book 4, Marshal 4. LAURA D’ERRICO 3 1 Ruggles Street Franklin, Mass. LAU” ‘‘There’s nothing so kingly as kindness, And nothing so royal as truth.” Laura has a talent which we all know about. It is her fine singing voice. If she keeps up her singing, and studies further along the line of music we shall some day probably hear her on the stage or over the radio. Who knows? Laura’s favorite hobby is listening to the radio and she never misses Bing Crosby’s crooning. After graduation Laura expects to be a salesgirl in the Mity- gud Pastry Shoppe. We wish you luck in the future, Laura. Freshmen Acquaintance 3, Glee Club 2, Music 4, Blue and White 4, Halloween Party 4. ALBERT DE GRAZIO 68 Alpine Place Franklin, Mass. AL” ‘‘An honest man’s the noblest work of God.” The little fellow of our class was Albert. Though he was so quiet that half the time we didn’t even know he was around, in the classrooms he held his own. His favorite hangout was Miss Anderson’s room where very often a wrestling match be¬ tween him and John De Napoli took place. Of course it was just in fun, as they were great pals. Al’s many friends enjoyed being with him in and out of classes. We hope Albert will make good in the future. BLANCHE DE GREGORIO 13 Alpine Place Franklin, Mass. Blandy” ‘‘Silence answers much.” Does she study up at the library every night—or what? Hail to Blanche! The only commercial student who dared to venture into the 3rd year French Class. A lovable, silent girl is she who tries hard and gets what she goes after. Blanche is not content to satisfy; she desires to excel, and therefore always endeavors to do her best. Her ready smile shows that she understands the bright and joyous aspects of nature. Our parting wishes to you are health, happiness, and suc¬ cess. Hockey 1-2, Hallowe’en 4, Baseball 1-2.

fos Key RUTH FRASER Mill Street F ranklin, Mass. “Fashioned so slenderly, young, and so fair .” Tall and extremely slender, Ruth is one of our outstanding feminine athletes. She makes no more work of jumping over a pole four feet high, than of stepping over a rock. Ruth ' s dialectic imitations and humorous poems are a constant source of entertainment for her friends, while her frequent trips to Boston remain a constant source of mystery. We wish Ruth lots of luck in whatever she may undertake. Commercial Club 2-3, Track 1-2-3-4. HAROLD FRESN Charlotte Street Franklin, Mass. “One blast upon his bugle horn Was worth a thousand men.” Every class must have its Don Juan, and ours is no ex¬ ception. Harold most competently fills that office. With ever¬ present smile he gains welcome everywhere. What girl refuses him a dance; that is, when he isn’t playing with the “Harmo- nians”? His talent as a trumpeter has also been a benefit and pleasure to both the band and the orchestra. Good-looking, good-natured, and talented as he is, there can be no doubt con¬ cerning Harold’s future success. Dramatics 3-4, Orchestra 1-2-3-4, Pres, of Band 1-2-3-4, Jr. Prom. Com. 3, Freshmen Acquaintance Com. 4, Halloween Committee 3-4. BRUNA GEROMINI 31 Peck Street Franklin, Mass. ‘‘Gerry’’ “A springy motion in her gait, A rising step—” Bruna is a star basketball player who knows how to play the game. She will be greatly missed when next basketball season comes around, and it will be hard to find anyone who can play as Bruna did in her position as forward. Bruna is so active that at some games you can hardly keep up count with the baskets she makes. Bruna is also prominent in other sports. We hope, Gerrv, that your aims will always reach their goal as your ba sketball did. Basketball 1-2-3-4, Track 1-2-3-4, Hockey 1-2, Blue and White 4. Franklin, Mass. DOROTHY GREEN 20 Dean Avenue “DOT” “Fair she is, if that mine eyes be true And true she is, as she hath proved herself.” Dorothy needs no introduction whatsoever, as she is a very popular member of our class. As class treasurer she filled the office most faithfully. “Dot” could always be seen out walking, but to say with whom would give her away. One of the beauties of the class was “Dot,” and she certainly knew how to dress. We can’t wish vou enough good luck, Dorothy. Wheaton College is where “Dot” intends to go, and may they enjoy her as much as we have.
