LAWRENCE BARRETT ELLIS 12 Garden Street Franklin “LAURY” “Happy-Go-Lucky” Laury” is always doing something that requires energy. He never stays still long enough to relax, but his attitude livened up every class and gathering of which he was a part. He slowed up a bit in his last years, however, as a girl can’t be expected to go about that fast, and he did have a girl. Lawrence wants to enter the poultry business. He has taken strides in that direction, and it is safe to say that it will not be difficult for him to succeed. Dramatics 2, 3. Dramatic Club 4. Hallowe’en Committee 1, 3. Junior Prom Committee 3.

OWEN WILLIAM EMERY 57 Queen Street Franklin “LEFTY” “Serious or gay, which e’er it be, Owen’s always good company.” This diminutive fellow was always working for the benefit of the school. His scope of activities and ideas proves this point. He is an interesting conversationalist and he is always looking on the gay side of life, a side that is needed to enjoy high school. When he showed his ability to play basketball, he won everyone over, and that, combined with his personality, made him a sure friend to everyone. Marshal 2, 3, 4. Basketball! 2, 3, 4. Football 3, 4.
