MR. RODGERS Manual Training, Mechanical Drawing Although Mr. Rodgers’ classes are limited to boys, he has proved unusually popular with all students. In his quiet, unassuming manner he has won the respect and admiration of all. Whenever there is any work to be done, he is always ready to lend a helping hand and anything which he does is always done well. MR. COLBERT History, Civics, Athletics Where ' s Mr. Colbert?” “Have you seen ' Coach ' ?” At one time or another each one of us has asked one of those questions. Mr. Colbert is one of the most popular members of the faculty, especially among the Seniors who take U. S. History. His popu¬ larity can be attributed to his wonderful personality, his methods of teaching, and his keen sense of humor. Under Mr. Colbert’s able coaching, the athletic teams have fought on to many victories. As a result, athletics have been popular among the students. MR. DePASQUA Italian, English, Law Mr. DePasqua is a great favorite with all high school boys and girls, both for his ability and cooperative spirit. We can all say without exaggeration that the more classes we had with Mr. DePasqua, the more we wanted. May he always keep his wonderful humor. MISS HOLMES English Red-headed people are said to be u nusually quick-tempered, but there is an exception in this case. Because of Miss Holmes’ calmness and good nature, she was the best-liked teacher of us all. May you always keep your sweet disposition. Nineteen Hundred Forty-One Page Eleven

§ MR. DOHERTY Principal Trigonometry We of the class of 1941 have the honor of being the first graduating class to have had Mr. Doherty all during its high school life and we wish to express 1 here our appreciation for the help and guidance which he has extended to us in the last four years. We feel that without this aid our high school career would have been much less successful and that our prospects for the future would be much less bright. MR. FRAZER Submaster Chemistry, Physics Franklin High is indeed fortunate in possessing a teacher who has done a great deal to help us, both in and out of school. Everyone enjoys and learns a great deal in his chemistry and physics classes. All of “Doc’s plays are great successes and his great help in these and other social events has always been greatly appreciated by all. MISS WIGGIN English Without Miss Wiggin the F. H. S. would have a hard time, for her profound understanding and infinite knowledge does a great deal to help us, both in and out of school. Her sound advice, which she is always willing to give, is greatly appreciated by all. She is admired for her thorough understanding of English. MISS BULLUKIAN Shorthand, Typing, Office Practice Miss Bullukian ' s patience and good nature has been the reason for the fact that so many good secretaries have come out of F. H. S. We will certainly missj Miss Bullukian after we leave school and know that the pupils coming in will certainly relish being in her classes. Page Ten Nineteen Hundred Forty-One

a C MR. HANCOCK Civics, Mathematics, History Many of the students who have had Mr. Hancock as their subject teacher will attest to the fact that his classes are enjoyable as well as educational — due to his sense of humor and ability to teach. His understanding nature and willingness to help have made him one of the more popular teachers of F. H. S. We hear that Mr. Hancock is a rabid “Red Sox” fan, even though they aren’t in the lead! MISS KEEFE Mrs. Edward Powers Business Practice, Bookkeeping, Typing Much to our sorrow, Miss Keefe left us in the middle of the year to become Mrs. Powers. To her we wish all the luck in the world. Mrs. Powers has always been one of our most helpful and cheerful teachers. The future pupils of F. H. S. will certainly miss something by not having her for a teacher. MR. BEANE English, Economics, Problems of Democracy Mr. Beane, our class advisor, has labored with us for three years in making the sociaKevents and activities of our class suc¬ cessful ones. His English classes are never dull, but they say his economics classes are no cinch. His basketball teams for the last few years have not been as fortunate as they might have been, but we leave him, hoping that in the future years he will have patience enough to continue with them. MR. FITZPATRICK Algebra I, II, Geometry Through all his years of teaching, Mr. Fitzpatrick has always lent a helping hand to whoever finds himself in need of one. His quiet manner has made all students who have had him, like and respect him. If you are ever in school between the hours of four and five, you will probably find Mr. Fitzpatrick ' s room filled with pupils whom he is trying to help along. Page Twelve Nineteen Hundred Forty-One
