They extend their thanks for his kindness and understanding and hope he’ll remember his “ quiet ” homeroom class. GEORGE H. COLBERT Athletics, United States History, Civics “Coach” has an unusual combination of intelligence, humor, and athletic ability besides many other virtues. He makes his classes very interesting and most enjoyable. The U. S. History classes will verify this. Besides putting his boys in condition for football and baseball, he is also aiding Uncle Sam by preparing them for our line of national defense. JOSEPH DePASOUA Italian, Commercial Law, Geography Introducing our popular teacher and adviser, Mr. DePasqua. Mr. De Pasqua has been active in civilian defense and has had an A. R.

ii JAMES J. DOHERTY Principal Mathematics “A good friend, a good teacher, and a good principal—” these titles are bestowed by us upon Mr. Doherty. Mr. Doherty ' s idea for collecting newspapers to buy defense bonds has received attention from numerous other schools, many of which have followed suit. His guidance has been appreciated by all, and we leave F. H. S. with the knowledge that we can return at will for further guid¬ ance. CHARLES F. FRAZER Sub-Master Chemistry, Physics “Doc,” as he is popularly called by many of the students, is loved by one and all. He regales his classes with jokes and funny stories and as for his fine work in putting on our assem¬ blies these many years it cannot be excelled. “Doc” has de¬ voted much time and energy to our “Oskey show for which we certainly thank him. Without his guidance our “Oskeys” would not be such great successes. ALICE WIGGIN English Having been teaching school for many years, Miss Wiggin is one of our most understanding teachers. She is always willing to help any one that she possibly can. Being well versed in Philosophy Miss Wiggin is able to quote many helpful proverbs. To you, Miss Wiggin, we extend our sincere thanks and ap¬ preciation for your guidance. PRISCILLA BULLUKIAN Shorthand, Typing, Office Practice, Spanish Miss Bullukian introduced Spanish this year. It has been very successful. Franklin High is certainly fortunate to have such a fine Commercial teacher. She has sent many efficient secretaries into the business world. Her soft voice and endless patience endear her to all. From the secretarial girls especially, “ Thanks for everything.” Her new pupils will certainly enjoy her classes.

ROBERT HANCOCK History, Business Practice, Civics Mr. Hancock is the proud father of a son. We hope his son will turn out as well as he did. He is very well liked because of his enthusiasm in his students and subjects and his fine humor. He will always be remembered for his good disposition and willingness to help his students. GORDON H. FITZPATRICK Mathematics Here is a teacher whom the Freshmen class could not do with¬ out. Under his experienced tutelage the problems of Algebra are easier to solve. “ His patience is his virtue,” so many upper¬ classmen say. To see him after class without a group of beginners in ‘‘math would certainly be out of the ordinary. “A does more work than ”B” but ”C does more work than ”B.” Who does the most work? (Ask Mr. Fitzpatrick). J. MURRAY STEVENS Science, Biology, Band, Orchestra Mr. Stevens, the talented director of ' our school orchestra and band, has made our school assemblies and activities very enjoy¬ able with his fine arrangements. His classes in science and biology are very popular as attributed to the fact that many pupils may be found in his homeroom after school. HENRI BEANE English, Economics, Problems of Democracy Mr. Beane is the most popular member of the faculty. It is little wonder that he is so popular, for he is the coach that gave us such an excellent basketball team this year and spurred the boys on to many victories. His English classes are most interesting as are his other classes also. Page Fourteen Nineteen Hundred Forty-Two
