HERBERT AMBLER Scott Hill Road Bellingham, Mass. “BUDDY “Carefree in manner, he drifts along.” Herbert is one of those admirably calm and collected fellows who remain cool and unmoved under practically all circumstances. His retiring nature is only on the outside, however, as it has been found that he enjoys social affairs. Whenever the fellows were in doubt about a fight or the physical prowess of one of their number, they always appealed to Buddy. Bud’s favorite sports are wrestling and horseback riding. His good nature and bits of philosophy made him liked by all. Good luck and good times. Bud. VIRGINIA BAGDONOFF 1 10 Pond Street Franklin, Mass. “GINGER” ‘‘Tall of stature, calm of mind.” Meet Ginger, drum-major of the Franklin High School Band. You can easily guess how she got this position. She is tall, graceful, and has the ability to lead with a rhythm that is hard to equal. Ginger has other musical talents and hopes to cultivate her voice later. She intends to take up the study of law, in which she should be successful, gifted as she is with a commanding appearance. We should hate to defend ourselves against her cross examination. Luck be with you, Ginger. Drum-major 4. Home Economics Club 4, Marshal 4. RUTH COOPER BATES Scott Hill Road South Bellingham, Mass. “BATESIE” ‘‘Smiles and songs smooth o ' er the troubles of the world.” Batesie comes from the old-fashioned town of Bellingham where the venerable residents believe that Girls should be seen and not heard, but Batesie, being modern, disagrees. Everyone admits she’s right. That flashing smile of hers spreads more good-feeling than seems possible. As for being heard, Ruth has the most gor¬ geous voice a High School girl ever had — and it would be a shame if she didn’t use it. Long after all else is forgotten, we shall remember the winning combination of a lightning smile and a golden voice.

CLEMENTINA BERTONI 3 7 Alpine Row Franklin, Mass. “MANDY” ‘‘Always friendly and full of cheer, Faces brighten when Mandy draws near.” Mandy is always a true supporter of the class. When the class is trying to put something over, Mandy is right there, pushing hard for success. If help in wanted, Mandy is always glad to assist. She proves a worthy friend to all who are fortunate enough to have a claim to her friendship. Humorous sayings easily drive the dark clouds away and Mandy’s happy face is welcomed everywhere. As her vocation, she has chosen stenography, and we wish her all the luck in the world. Commercial Club 4, Blue and White 4. Page Twenty-One

BARBARA SHAW COWING 89 Union Street Franklin, Mass. “By many followed, loved by most, admired by all.’’ Barbara is one of the outstanding members of our class; a brilliant scholar, a good athlete, a good student of human nature. Science and mathematics have a particular attraction for her. Those who can’t do their homework go to Barbara for aid and advice. She understands and is willing to really sympathize with the poor suf¬ ferers. Even if they are dumb (as not a few are) she summons up her patience and struggles until an awakening occurs. Undaunted, afraid of nothing, Barbara will make a name for herself regardless of circumstance or impediments.

FLORENCE THERESA MARTEL Scott Hill Road Bellingham, Mass. “FLO” “And her merry smile and graceful air Show her wise and good as she is fair.” Flo is one of those few people who can mix business with pleasure and still have everything straight when she is done. Flo ' s ambition is to become an A-1 stenographer (which she is now). If she continues her present methods, she should progress rapidly. But as was afore-mentioned, Flossie isn ' t all business — she has the keenest sense of humor and the squarest, cleanest per¬ sonality in High School. She played a marvelous game of basket¬ ball on the same principles. Florence is a class favorite because of her all-around “square shooting.” French Club 1, Junior Prom 3, Vice-President 4. Basketball 1- 2-3-(Capt.) 4, Commercial Club 4, Blue and White 4, Oskey 4. RAE ELIZABETH ATWOOD 5 Charlotte Court Franklin, Mass. “Seeing only what is fair, sipping only what is sweet, Thou dost mock at fate and care, leave the chaff, and take the wheat.” Graceful and dainty, Rae is one of the most popular girls in our class. Her sunny smile and friendly attitude denote a happy spirit. Outstanding in sports, Rae can make a homerun or a basket with equal ease. Dancing is one of her favorite pastimes, and whistling another. Next year Rae plans to attend Forsythe Academy and we all feel sure that she will do as well there as she has done in Franklin High.

EDMUND J. KEEFE 3 3 Cottage Street Franklin, Mass. “NED” “Rugged, steadfast, and tall, ‘Ned’ is the favorite of all.” In athletics Ned has certainly proved his mettle. He ' s about the only one that stands cool and collected in the midst of the fray. The opposing team trembles when it sees our big captain, Ned. The class, recognizing his business ability, twice elected him for class treasurer. Ned can also keep good order, and his work as a mar¬ shal has proved beneficial to the school. Popular among his friends because of his Irish wit, Ned will be well-liked in the future with his good nature and common sense.

MILDRED BOZAIv Franklin Road South Bellingham, Mass. “MILLIE” Merry and cheery, always gay. Happy to smile and light your way.” Millie is another girl with a sunny smile, sparkling eyes and a cheery “hello” for all. She is a fine athlete, but for some reasons unknown to us, she has not taken part in school activities. Swim¬ ming is Millie ' s favorite sport. She is a good student and has a large number of friends. Although Millie has no definite plans for the future, here ' s wishing her loads of success in whatever field she may choose to enter. MADALENE BROWN 49 Main Street Franklin, Mass. “MADDY” Of gentle manner, of affection mild.” A glowing red head atop a statuesque figure, that’s Maddy. She is our shining light in domestic science, and Miss Hathaway ' s right-hand man. If there is anything to do in that line, she is sure to be in it. Even her marshal station is down by the sewing-room. We believe she is to be a domestic science teacher or a dietitian, with leanings toward the latter. If so, she’ll surely know her business. Marshal 4, Hallowe’en Party 3-4, Home Economics Club 4. MARION BROWN Mechanic Street Bellingham, Mass. “BROWNIE” A tripping, dainty miss, with spirit rather high--” With a sparkle of mirth and a glint of laughter in her dark brown eyes, stands this attractive miss who hails from Bellingham. Marion is a studious girl and takes pride in doing her work thoroughly. Brownie ' s fingers are very clever with the needle, and she enjoys using her talent in turning out smart clothes. Like many of the rest cf us, Marion is not just sure what she is going to do, but whatever it may be, we wish her luck. Marshal 4, Home Economics Club 4. BRUNO BRUNELLI Ruggles Street Franklin, Mass. “Quiet is of me no friend; Give me noise without end.” Bruno is one of our most alert and noisy classmates. He kept the teachers on edge with his continuous comments on other people. Bruno went out for only one sport, but that was enough, as he played a wonderful game of football. He also tooted long and loud in our excellent band. Jolly and good-natured, Bruno likes to see those about him as happy and carefree as he. Bruno ' s success will spring from a happy spirit and the wish to do a good job on everything he undertakes. Band 1-2-3, Glee Club 3, Football 2-3. Page Twenty-Two
