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

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.

fa ml KATHERINE PATRICIA COSTELLO 122 West Central Street Franklin, Mass. “KATE” “BOBBY” Quiet and shy at first is she. but soon you ' ll find her good company; With wit unexcelled, dull cares abate, under the magic smile of Kate.” Kate always looks happy; mischievous smile and twinkling eye prove that she isn’t so serious as she at first appears. Sad faces brighten when Kate’s radiant countenance appears. Although she doesn ' t belong to the Glee Club, Kate seems to find the inspiration to sing during History Class. It livens things up a good deal! Never bothering about the tune, she has all those sitting near her trying to suppress their mirth. Kate never has to worry about her marks and will surely succeed with her Irish wit and ready smile. Junior Prom 3, Dramatic Club 2, Hallowe ' en Party 4. PATRICIA CRAY 75 West Street Franklin, Mass. “PAT” As 7 treat my friend so shall I treat my enemy.” When Pat walks by, even if you do not see her, you are con¬ scious of her passage. She is one of those people who, while un¬ assuming, have nevertheless very delightful personalities which make them the joy of all their friends. We all rejoice to see Pat in our midst, and enjoy her quiet presence. If you get to know her well, you certainly will agree that she is a very good friend. All her friends know she will be successful, no matter what she undertakes. French Club 1, Commercial Club 4. FRANCIS CROTHERS 5 7 West Central Street Franklin, Mass. “FRANNY” ‘‘Never trouble trouble Till trouble troubles you.” Franny is a spirited fellow with lots of pep and energy. He seems forever in a red-hot argument. Franny played basketball for four years and was captain in his fourth year. Franny is well-known for his many “Long Toms” that saved more than one game for the home team. He has also played well for our baseball and football teams. He was always the smallest player cn the team but the one with the. most vim and vigor. We wish you luck, Franny. May you never lose your pep.

OLIVE CROWELL 4 Maple Street Franklin, Mass. “PICKLES” “Sweet as the freshest breeze at dawn, Gentle as a dove, Thou hast won due admiration Mingled with pure love.” Being the pride and joy of her teachers and the fun-loving com¬ panion of her classmates would be difficult for anyone but Olive. Appealing winsomeness, keen sense of humor, flattering interest in others, unaffected goodness arc just a few of her qualities. We could go on singing her praises ad infinitum (how are we doing, Olive?) but why completely exhaust ourselves when we can sum them up in the one word—Charming.
