i MARGARET ANN DeBAGGIS 72 Alpine Place Franklin “ PEGGY ” “ MARGIE ” “Straight and tall and a smile for all.” ■‘Peggy” was known to be one of the most cheerful girls in her classes. She always had a smile on her face and was a great fun pro¬ vider. The only time she hadn’t a smile was when a certain ballplayer left for the minor leagues. Peggy” was of great value in her sewing classes and as she leaves us we wish her the best of luck when she takes up sewing as her vocation. MARIO DeBAGGIS 39 Ruggles Street Franklin “Daunted by nothing, ever willing to try.” Consternation in Room 114 and somewhere at the bottom would be found the happy, laughing Mario. Never too loud, but still, never too soft- -that was Mario. We shall always remember Mario for his good nature, good humor, and ability to take a joke as well as give one. The best of everything to the best of good sports. Etiquette Club 3. WILLIAM DeBAGGIS North Park Street Franklin “ WILLIE ” “And to uphold and cheer the rest, I ought to do and did my best.” “Willie,” up to his Senior year, was very quiet and reserved, at least that is the way he seemed to us. T his year though, has seen Willie” come out of his shell and turn into quite a Romeo among other things. After school closes, Willie” plans to join the Marines. We are sure that he will be an asset to that organization. Football (2nd team Captain) 3, 4. Basketball 1. Freshman Acquaintance Party 4. Hallowe’en Party 3, 4. Etiquette Club 3.

EMILIO DELLORCO 8 Hillside Road Franklin “Always ready, always there.” Emilio was the rugged football player who quietly made many of the long runs of his mates possible. His ability as a blocking back was appreciated by his team and felt by the opposition, and much of the success of the 1940 football team can be attributed to his efforts. Whenever there was work to be done Emilio was ready to lend a helping hand. To a good athlete and a good worker the best wishes of the class. Football 2, 3, 4. Baseball 2. Military Training 4.

LAURICE COOK 391 East Central Street Franklin “I must have music” Laurice was the other member of the Cook family who proved a welcome addition to our class. Besides being an excellent student, Laurice was also a good mixer and soon won himself a host of friends. As a musician he proved his worth in the Orchestra, and his violin and vocal work in the Oskey Show were two outstanding features of the production. Whatever Laurice decides to do we know he will be a success for he has that never say die attitude which we all want but which few have. Orchestra 4. Oskey 4. WALTER COOK 391 East Central Street Franklin I came, I saw, I conquered” If it makes music, give it to Walter and relax. Walter came to us from Keene, New Hampshire, where he had established quite a repu¬ tation as a musician. With us he took right up where he left off and was recognized as one of the most versatile musicians in the school--- Band. Orchestra, or solo, it was all the same to Walter. If he follows music we know he will be a success, but whatever he follows---the best to Walter! Orchestra 4. Band 4. Oskey 4. JOSEPHINE D’AMELIO Arlington Street Franklin “JO” “She is pretty to walk with And witty to talk with.” Josephine is one of the smallest members of our class, but also one of the most active. This year Jo came out for basketball and her ability to play amazed a great many of us. Josephine was always shy and quiet up until her senior year and then, well, you frequently found her in the middle of a giggling crowd and usually it was some¬ thing she had said that caused the outburst. We don’t know what Jo plans to do in the future, but we do know that she’ll be successful. May luck be with you. Jo. Basketball 4. Glee Club 2. Etiquette Club 3. JANICE DAUPHINEE East Central Street Franklin “DAFFY” ‘‘You can’t have everything.” Although Janice was not heard from much during her first years of high school, in her Senior year she has been present at many social events and has become better known to her classmates. When one hears Janice’s carefree laugh, one cannot help but to laugh with her. Janice did not go out for sports which is surprising to those in her physical class for Janice did well there. During high school, wherever Janice was seen Uliana was not far behind. We do not know for certain what Janice ' s plans are for the future, but whatever she undertakes, best wishes always.

58 Wachusett Street Franklin “BABE ” “Graceful and useful in all she does.’’ Claudia has been one of the bright lights of our class all through high school. As one of the cheer 1 leaders she has urged our team on to victory many times. She can be counted upon to lend a helping hand whenever needed. Babe’s” success on the dance floor equals her ability in the classroom. She is the kind of girl that makes parting at graduation a none too happy occasion. Here ' s to your success, Claudia. May your career be as beneficial to you as your friendship has been to us in high school. Marshal 2. Freshman Acquaintance Party 4. Glee Club 2. Etiquette Club 3. Oskey Production 1, 2, 3.

JOSEPH DeNAPOLI 136 Washington Street Franklin “ JOE ” “He has won just praise that he deserved.’’ Besides taking part in many school and classroom activities, Joe” was one of our better students. Quiet and unassuming, he won a place for himself in the hearts of students and teachers. Although Joe” never took part in any sports, he was one of the most loyal supporters of all teams. Good luck to you, “Joe,” in anything you undertake. We know you will be successful . Military Training 4. Camera Club 1, 2. NICHOLAS DiPARDO 74 Cottag ' e Street “ NICK ” Franklin “Thinking is but an idle thought.” Nick” never seems to be glum. Always smiling and always happy- go-lucky. That is the best description of Nick.” Nick” has been in the band for four years and has been a valuable asset all this time. ’ Nicky” played football this year and certainly proved his ability every chance he got. FRANCES ELIZABETH DONAHUE 92 Crescent Street Franklin “ FRANNIE ” “Pure and noble is her soul Success and honor will mark her goal.’’ Whose name always appeared on the Honor Roll ? Of course, it was Frannie ' s ; she was one of the best students of our class. If anyone was in difficulty about his school-work, he would consult Frannie who was willing to share her knowledge. Her untiring efforts as Editor-in-chief of the Yearbook have proved her efficiency and worthiness. We’re sure the F. H. S. Orchestra will miss Frannie,” an accomplished violinist, who has rendered her valuable service for the entire four years. Junior Prom Committee 3. Basketball 4. Dramatics 3, 4. Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4.
