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.

He participated in football, basket¬ ball, and baseball, and played all of them well. In school he was a jolly fellow, always with a smile and a good word for his classmates.

KATHERINE GRICI 664 Union Street Franklin “KAY” “KATIE” Quietness is only one of her virtues.” ‘‘Kay” has kept herself pretty well hidden from all snooping re¬ porters. We don ' t know much about her, but the old adage, No news is good news,” seems to fit. We can say, though, that we saw her at all our school games, rooting for our team until the end. It isn ' t definitely known what Kay’s” plans are for the future, but we wish her loads of luck. Marshal 1. Band 1. WILFRED HANSON Washington Street Franklin “LITTLE CAESAR” “Modest men are dumb on their own merits.” Wilfred always was modest and we had a hard time getting him to admit his abilities. He has a swell sense of humor and rather surprised us on many occasions, because we had considered him rather the quiet type. Lots of luck, Wilfred, and always try to keep that swell sense of humor.
