VIRGINIA MILDRED CATALANO 14 King Street Franklin, Mass. “Ginny” “Chigg” “Catty” “A friend to all, and a grand, good sport.” Ginny is the spry little athlete of our class. In her last two years she became famous as the star side center on the Basketball team. Catty may W small but her vitality and speed have won many honors. Virginia was right there in track and never failed to come out on top. Ginny’s popularity is not due to her athletic ability only, but also to her vivacious good nature. Maybe Virginia will combine her ability for reporting and her love of sports and become the first woman sports-writer.

PAULINE MARIE CATALDO 105 Cottage Street Franklin, Mass. “PAULY” ‘‘A smile for each — a friend for all.” Pauly has a smile that never vanishes. On cloudy days when the majority of people feel blue, Pauline is always wearing her happy smile which brightens many a classroom. Pauline’s gaiety goes still further, as she was an active player on the basketball team and sang in the Glee Club. Pauline intends to go to school next year, and we hope she will still be as good-natured and popular as she was in her High School Days.

ETHEL CHRISTAKES 2 Garfield Street Franklin, Mass. “Christy” ‘‘A great sport and a friend to all.” We want you to meet Christy, a fair complexioned girl with dark, naturally wavy hair. Her pleasant smile wins many friends and doesn ' t limit itself to them, hut also brightens other voyagers, sailing o’er the sea of life. These charms would cheer us in any office, but Christy doesn’t intend to be a stenographer. Her am¬ bitions lie in a different direction, in the field of hairdressing. We can readily see why they do because the neat appearance of her hair always attracts admiring attention. We are confident that she will do well.

BESSIE ELLEN CLARK 43 Lincoln Street Franklin, Mass. “Modest and shy as a nun is she.” We hesitate to list all Bessie’s good qualities: because of limited space we couldn t do them justice. The hest we can do is to suggest that you pause and think over the qualities in your New Year ' s resolutions. Weren’t they something like the following? Resolved: to be helpful, agreeable, considerate, natural, cheerful, respectful to superiors, etc. Such qualities look very well written down as reso¬ lutions but are more appealing written in one ' s character, as every¬ one realizes who knows Bessie.

LOUIS BRUNELLI 228 Summer Street Franklin, Mass. “LOUIE” “With a quick leap and a forward pass Louie ' s the athlete of the class.” Excelling in athletics, Louie is a true picture of the “football hero.” He can carry a ball for yards in the teeth of the darkest foe. Franklin rooters go wild about the “beautiful” kicks that he drops over the goal post for a sensaticnal extra point. Louie doesn ' t spend his time on sports alone; oh, no; he also takes books home to study and really tries to see through their teachings. In the fall Louie plans to enter Dean Academy, and with his spirit and en¬ thusiasm he will surely meet success. Football 3-4, Baseball 3-4, Junior Prom 3, Basketball 4, Marshal 4. PIA BRUNELLI 67 Alpine Place Franklin, Mass. “PETE” “Steady and kind, honest and true. These I will be in all I do.” Never late for school, she can be found discussing the events of the day with all her friends before classes. Although she was a quiet girl, it was a pleasure to have her as a classmate. As a pal, Pete is one of the best-natured girls and is willing to see you through, no matter how trying things are to the patience. Her ready smile shows that she understands the bright and joyous aspects of nature, and a broad grin makes her welcome everywhere. Our parting wishes to you, Pete, are health, happiness, and success. Home Economics Club 4. MARION CARPENTER 285 West Central Street Franklin, Mass. ‘‘A friend in need is a friend indeed.” We always find Marion of unfailing good nature and friendli¬ ness. Whenever possible Marion will assist her classmates, and is a willing helper of our long-suffering teachers. She is rather a quiet girl, but whenever she is called upon, you can always depend on a good answer. Marion wants to work in an office although she hasn’t chosen any particular type of work. We wish her success and know that she will make a fine office worker. Dramatics 2-3-4, Junior Prom 3, Blue and White” 4, Glee Club 2-3, Hallowe’en Party 3, Commercial Club 4. VINCENZO A. CALDARARO 49 Ruggles Street Franklin, Mass. “JIMMIE” “Always spin, but never spoon.” Jimm ie is not known by everybody, but those who do know him are glad to have him as a classmate. He never hesitates to do a good turn for any of his friends. Understanding human nature, Jimmie knows humor is often lacking in the classroom and usu¬ ally gives valuable assistance to star comedians. Disregarding pene¬ trating glances of cross teachers, he sometimes carries his humor to a session. Whatever Jimmie takes up as his life work, among the many he may choose from, we wish him success.

sm LILLIAN MAE CLARK Center Street South Bellingham, Mass. “RED” “LILLY” Quietly she walks her way; Steadfast duty fills the day. An ideal type of student is Red, who voices her opinions in the face of opposition, rather than stating them behind opponents ' backs. This hurts no one ' s feelings, but rather makes friends of would-be antagonists. More may be learned by this method, and Red is well aware that other people’s ideas broaden views on different subjects. Never holding back shyly. Red has acquired many friends because of her friendly attitude and buoyant spirit. Whatever field she chooses to enter in her life work, we know Lillian will succeed. Blue and White” Secretary 4, “Oskey” 4. JAMES COCHRANE Summer Street Franklin, Mass. “JIMMY” “TINY” “ Soft-voiced and calm, of disposition mild. Until by some foolish infant riled. A modest, unassuming youth is Tiny. Because of his quiet way, many have not had the good fortune to discover his true nature. This is rather deceiving, as Jimmy knows the force of sarcasm and believing that the tongue is mightier than the sword, acts accordingly. Without a great deal of trouble he can see through the analytical part of mathematics. Geometry and Solid are simple for him, per¬ haps because of his remarkable memory. To continue in this line, Tiny plans to attend Lowell Tech. Happy landings, Tiny. Marshal 2-3-4. ALICIA VERONICA CORR 4 3 Oak Street Franklin, Mass. “MIKE” And it ' s looked upon as very meet To give a smile to all we greet. A cute Irish coquette is she, full cf pep and enthusiasm. Mike never looks on the dark side of life, but like a true “Pollyanna” tries to find something to be glad about, no matter how difficult the task appears. Her geniality and mischievousness are the pride and delight of her friends. Because Mike has such a pleasing peron- ality, she has selected a vocation that will enable her to meet many people and acquire new friends. Mike wishes to be a hairdresser and will begin to study for this soon after leaving F. H. S. Glee Club 4, Music 2, Freshman Acquaintance 4, Marshal 4, Hallowe’en Party 4, Home Economics 4. HELEN COSTELLO 122 West Central Street Franklin, Mass. “MICKY” A genial spirit and pleasant word Make scowling faces seem absurd. Behold! A superior being in our midst. Make way, pitiful imi tators, for one who not only dares to be herself but has confidence in that self. Midst the harrassed beings that make up the greater part of our school population, Helen goes serenely on her way brightening less gifted ones with her ready wit and warming smile. As you might imagine, popularity follows, not only with her classmates, but also the faculty. This is a commendable achievement (as any aspiring student knows). Glee Club 4. Page Twenty-Five
