Fortunately our class benefited by his clever leadership demonstrated during his presidency in our Junior year and again in our Senior year. When he was honored with an appointment to the position of a page in the State Senate, he became the object of our envy and admiration. Suitable enough, he is an enlistee in the Army Air Corps, for Aeronautical Engineering has lain in his hopes ever since he can remember. If it takes a lot, Sammy ' s got it to give. President 3, 4.

RAYMOND DOW 100 Union Street Franklin, Mass. “RAY HORATIO” “This fair-haired son of versatility Has shown with tongue and deed his real ability. And his pleasant presence has each function graced, Nor will his classroom record soon be ’rased:’’ A great addition to any classroom, this fellow had a hand in all but a few of the activities of our four years. To some degree he showed himself an orator, an athlete, a scholar, a worker, a politi¬ cian. and, above all, a friend to many. Well-liked by the teachers and popular among boy and girl stu¬ dents. his interest centers in sports. In fact, participation in all of them has given him the initial experience required for good journal¬ ism in the field of sports, yet our wish for the success of one who has so many possibilities stands unrestricted to any field he may enter.

That was proven when she held office as Secretary of the class for the past three years and did an exceptionally good job of it. Her charm and personality are pleasing to all her fellow students. She believes in having a good time always, but she never let her schoolwork go undone. “Ag” could always be found right out front at our games, cheer¬ ing the team on to victory, and she could also do very well on a dance floor. Whenever you see Agnes, you will almost always see Virginia and Bernadine. Secretary 2. 3, 4. Junior Prom Committee 3. Freshman Acquaintance Com¬ mittee 4. Hallowe’en Party Committee, 1. 2, 3.

LUCY JOSEPHINE VIGNONE 180 Washington Street Franklin, Mass. “LU” “Always a-grinning, always a-winning, always a-feeling fine.” “Where ' s Lucy?” This call was heard more than any other dur¬ ing our four years. Everyone heartily agrees that Lucy has been very efficient in whatever it was that she did. She would help out in the office when she was needed, she sold tickets at the basket¬ ball games, she sold defense stamps, and she worked at Adams ' Studio after school. On top of all this she managed to be on the Honor Roll and take care of the class funds. Lucy plans to go to a Business School where she will carry on her secretarial work. Whoever gets Lucy for a secretary will certainly be in luck. Lucy, may the luck you had here at L.H.S. continue with you in the future. Treasurer 4. Junior Prom Committee 3.

ACCORSI 110 Alpine Place Franklin, Mass. ‘‘Ugo is rather quiet, but we’re glad to say, He ' ll be a renowned builder some day.” He is noted for his quiet and gentlemanly conduct throughout the school and in private life. Being a hard worker and a willing assistant of the shop teacher, he has gained entrance into the Thomson Press to further his edu¬ cation as a craftsman. Never one to be too intimate with girls, he keeps his mind on his work, as he realizes that this will be a helping factor in his future career. Here ' s happiness and great success to Ugo. Freshman Acquaintance Committee 3. Hallowe’en Party Committee 3. Librarian 2, 3, 4. FRANCIS K. ALLEN 24 Hayward Street Franklin, Mass. “FRANNY” “He dares to laugh loud and free.” “Franny” was a fine performer in basketball and an equally fine sport. Because of his mechanical ability, he was selected to do special work at the Thomson Press. Our best wishes follow him for a successful machinist’s career. A naval career also seems to interest “Franny.” We’re sure he’ll be an asset to Uncle Sam’s Navy because of his willingness to do well. Our best wishes for your success. Military Training 2, 3. Basketball 2, 3, 4. Senior Hop Committee 4. MARGARET HELEN ARNOLD 206 Maple Street Franklin, Mass. “PEGGY” ‘‘A face with gladness overspread.” Friendly Helen — that explains her in one word, for she has a smile worth noticing and a grand personality. A member of our secretarial group, she is planning on that same career. We are positive Helen would make a success of any career, and so with all of our best wishes we say, “Good luck to our future private secretary; we are also envious of your future employer,” Blue and White 4. Commercial Club 4. MARION E. BAER 261 West Central Street Franklin, Mass. “SIS” ‘‘A friend is another self.” Marion is both friendly and pleasant with all her classmates and is always ready to greet all with a smile. To those who do not know Marion she appears to be very quiet, but her closer friends know her to be a good companion with a sense of humor. We do not know what your plans are for the future, Marion, but we wish you luck and success. Blue and White 4. Glee Club 1. Page Twenty-Two Nineteen Hundred Forty-Three HELEN MAE BARNES 54 Marvin Avenue Franklin, Mass. “BARNSIE” “Small in stature; quick of wit.” Barnsie” is always joking and laughing with the person to whom she is speaking. She is never out of place and is a good conversa¬ tionalist. She has always planned to train for the profession of nurse, and hopes to realize this after graduation. “Barnsie’s” friends are many, and she has no trouble whatsoever in finding someone to accompany her anywhere. We are sure you will make a fine nurse, so keep that good dispo¬ sition. Etiquette Club 1. Oskey 2. LAURA MARY BARTELLONI 62 Wachusett Street Franklin, Mass. “BART” Personality, smile, and a friendly voice ,— Voted best dancer of the class by choice.” “Bart” has been chosen best dancer of the class and her sunny dis¬ position is part of the reason. No matter who or where you are, she never slights you. These characteristics are essential for any career, and ' ' Bart’s hope to be a secretary will s urely be realized. Her attendance at our socials and dances made everyone enjoy every minute of time. Our best of luck to you, “Bart,” in your future career. Hallowe’en Party Committee 3, 4. Oskey, 4. Etiquette Club 1. Glee Club 1. SIRPOUHI BEDIRIAN 1376 West Central Street Franklin, Mass. “SIP” “SIPPY” “A clever student, an athlete; Tho rather quiet, she’s quite complete.” Whenever you need a helping hand, you can always count on “Sip.” She is a very quiet girl but exceptionally good in her studies. Sirpouhi didn’t attend many of our dances, but she could always be found on hand cheering our athletic teams on to victory. “Sip” has been outstanding in sports and has been chosen “best girl athlete. an honor which we know she deserves. Best wishes to you, “Sip, in the future; we know that you will succeed. Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. Yearbook Staff (Girls’ Sports) 4. Blue and White 4 Commercial Club 4. Etiquette Club 1. ANNA F. BERTONI 37 Alpine Row Franklin, Mass. “ANN” “Good luck comes to those who bring Sunshine wherever they may go.” “Are you going to the game?” This was “Ann’s” favorite say¬ ing during her entire four years. During our Sophomore year she was chosen as a Cheer Leader. This year she has been Captain of the group. Whether it was to be a good game or not, she would be there. “Ann” was always on hand to cheer the boys, whether it was in victory or defeat. Anna was not only a good Cheer Leader, but she was also a good student. Upon graduating she intends to go into nurses’ training. “Ann,” may you cheer your patients in your chosen career, as you did the boys here at F.H.S. Good luck to you, Anna.

Nineteen Hundred Forty-Three Page Twenty-Three PHYLLIS ANN BISCOTTI IS Ray Hill Franklin, Mass. “PHYLL” “Serious or gay, which e’er it be, Phyllis is always good company.” Phyllis was a very quiet worker, but her sweet nature was always appreciated by all her classmates. Phyllis has gone through four years of high school with a jolly “hello and a smile for all her classmates. She has attended many school activities, and we know she enjoyed herself. We wish you luck in the future, “Phyll.” You can’t help but succeed. Hallowe’en Party Committee 3, 4. Basketball 4. Oskey 4. Etiquette Club 1. HELEN FRANCES BRENNAN Lincoln Street Franklin, Mass. “Gentle thoughts and calm desires.” Those who were not closely acquainted with Helen thought she was one of our more quiet members. Those who know Helen well have an altogether different opinion. Helen is the proud possessor of dimples. Every time she smiles she makes a new friend. Her pleasant personality and pleasing dis¬ position will help her to be a success in the future. Best of luck and much success to you, Helen. Hallowe ' en Party Committee, 1, 4. Blue and White 4. Commercial Club (Treasurer) 4. Etiquette Club 1. Librarian 3. MARY AGNES BROWN 6 Cottage Court Franklin, Mass. “BROWNIE” “When you have nothing to say, say nothing.” Mary is one of the less boisterous memb ers of our class, but when called upon in a classroom she always had an answer. Mary is willing to lend a helping hand wherever she can and she may be depended upon. Her good nature and friendliness towards all classmates has made her well liked in high school. For the future, Mary ' s plans are not known, but we wish her lots of luck. Oskey 2, 3. Glee Club 1. LAURABELLE MAE BRUNELLI 67 Alpine Place Franklin, Mass. “LAURIE” “Success treads on the heels of every right effort.” “Laurie,” though a bit on the quiet side, has won the respect of both the students and the teachers. She is what a teacher dreams of in a student. “Laurie” was outstanding in all of her subjects. She excelled in two of the hardest subjects, Latin and mathematics. “Laurie” did not let her studying interfere with her social life. She was always present at the basketball and football games. “Laurie” doesn ' t know exactly what she wants to do when she graduates, but we know that wherever she continues her studies, she will come through with flying colors. May success follow you wherever you go, “Laurie.” Junior Prom Committee 3. Yearbook Staff 4. Oskey 1, 3, 4. Honor Roll Committee (Secretary) 4. Etiquette Club 1. Librarian 3. Page Twenty-Four Nineteen Hundred Forty-Three WILLIAM ROGER BRUNELLI 19 Dale Street Franklin, Mass. “ROGE” Witty, sociable, good-natured and cute, All of these things—and more to boot.” Introducing Roger, a boy who’s always cracking a joke, keeping everyone laughing, or talking in a voice that doesn’t seem to be his own. There was no doubt in anyone ' s mind when Roger was chosen wittiest boy, best-natured boy, and one of the two most sociable boys. Roger did not go out for sports, but he made it up to us in many other ways by keeping everyone laughing and happy. After graduation, Roger plans to join one of the branches of the armed forces, so you Japs’’ take warning. Junior Prom Committee 3. Freshman Acquaintance Committee 4. Military Training 2, 3, 4. Yearbook Staff 4. Blue and White 4. Commercial Club 4. Oskey 4. Social Committee 4. ALICE TERESA BUCKLEY 219 Union Street Franklin, Mass. “TOODY” Life is what you make it.” Now we’ll introduce you to Toody.” She is one of our quieter girls. At least that is what people say who don’t know her. It is true enough, though, that not very much has been heard from her. She was always present at the basketball and football games and was almost always present at dances. Toody” hasn ' t decided for the future yet, but we know that she will be a success at whatever she chooses as a vocation. Our best wishes for your success, “Toody.” Junior Prom Committee 3. Basketball 1, 2. Oskey 4. Glee Club 1. EILEEN ANNE BUFFONE 36 Pinehurst Road Franklin, Mass. “BUFFY” “SQUEAKY” “BUFF” Again we have a little, but oh, my!” Here we have “Buffy.” She is one of our jolly, carefree, and witty girls. If a group of girls were about laughing, “Buffy” would be the center of attraction. Though a wee bit small, she ex¬ celled on the basketball court. Though “Buffy” enjoyed a good time it did not keep her away from her studies. She would always be on hand to help, whether it was for the benefit of our class or the school. In the future “Buffy” plans to continue her Secretarial Course. Whoever gets “Buffy” for a secretary will certainly be fortunate. May you have the best of luck in your chosen career, “Buffy.” Junior Prom Committee 3. Freshman Acquaintance Committee 4. Hal¬ lowe’en Party Committee 1, 2, 3, 4. Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4.

WILLIAM JAMES BURKE 46 Dale Street Franklin, Mass. “BILL” All work and no play makes ‘Bill’ a dull boy.” A great personality with a great amount of humor is “Bill.” A roar of laughter often discloses the whereabouts of “Bill,” one of the wittiest and noisiest boys of our class. “Billy” works in the self-service Stop Shop store after school. However, this does not prevent him from being a good student. “Bill” is also a good sports fan. “Bill” plans to join the Navy in the future. The class extends to him gobs of luck for success in his chosen career. Military Training 2, 3, 4. Oskey 2, 3, 4. Band 1, 2. Dramatics 3. Nineteen Hundred Forty-Three Page Twenty-Five 44 Worsted Street Franklin, Mass. “GINNY” Cutest, most popular, typical girl. In Virginia Cataldo we’ve found a pearl.’’ In our recent voting for class statistics “Ginny” was chosen “cut¬ est girl,” “most popular girl,” and “the typical high school girl.” Each title fits her very well. She has taken a great interest in social events at school and has also been a very good student. She always has a smile for everyone. As president of the Commercial Club she has been a very good leader. “Ginny” plans to be a private secretary; we know that she will succeed. Vice President 2. Junior Prom Committee 3.

VIRGINIA CLARK 144 Hillside Road Franklin, Mass. “GINNY” She with honest, fleeting smile Only on one hath used her wile. But, nevertheless, a real friend, true Is found in her by not a few.” Though some of her classmates don ' t realize it, “Ginny” is among the most spirited of her class, as well as one of the most silent. She is the type we would like to hear more from, yet her inborn modesty cannot but be admired. Her achievements, in and out of school, include the athletic and musical, and her personality and scholastic record should prove in¬ valuable in her chosen profession which, she confides, is nursing. Junior Prom Committee 3. Basketball 2. Oskey 1, 2, 3, 4. Glee Club 1. JOHN FREDRICK CORNETTA 69 East Central Street Franklin, Mass. “JOHNNY” He who laughs first laughs last.” He is a hard-working boy, both in school and out. He is very sociable and pleasant; that is, he can mingle with his fellow class mates and can carry on a conversation very pleasantly. He is dependent on no one but himself, and for this reason we have no worry about his later life and how successful he will be, be cause a boy with his character cannot fail in life. Hallowe’en Party Committee 4. Military Training 2, 3, 4. Oskey 4. ERNEST DeBAGGIS 39 McCarthy Street Franklin, Mass. “ERNIE” It’s the little things that count.” Ernest is a deceiving chap, for although he is quiet and serious to all outward appearances, he can thoroughly enjoy fun-making. Although he never forged to the front, he was a good student and a loyal supporter of the school. Ernest worked after schools hours. If he continues to display such ambition in the future, he is sure to be successful. We’re not sure of his future plans, but we sincerely say, “All the luck in the world, Ernest.” Junior Prom Committee 3. Hallowe’en Party Committee 1, 4. Military Training 2, 3, 4. Oskey 1, 4.

C. had a super football team. He is a staunch supporter of “Joe” DiMaggio and the midwestern football teams! But sports were not his only interests. His marks clearly showed that he was no “dunce” in his studies. Nor was he averse to the “fair sex,” though he might have you believe otherwise. All in all, “Mike” is a regular fellow whose time is pretty well balanced by work and play. With such equilibrium, he can’t help but be a success in the years to come. Military Training 2, 3, 4. Basketball 2, 3. Oskey 4. VINCENT JOSEPH DeBAGGIS 39 Ruggles Street Franklin, Mass. “VINI” “Vin” “He is a real nice curly-head baker boy; The sweets he carries will fill you with joy.’’ “Vin” is a sports fan with his nose always in the paper following the sport of the season. Baseball is on the top of his sport list. When the baseball season rolls along, you can always find “Vin” talk¬ ing with some of the other boys, in a tone that all baseball fans use, about the activities of the different teams. As always his team is the best, and he ' s not afraid to say so — backing up his say-so with a little bet. He is a conscientious student, and we all know his success and hap¬ piness will be great.

Etiquette Club 1. 72 Washington JEANETTE AGNES DeLUCIA Street Franklin, “JEAN” Mass. “Swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.’’ Never one to shirk from work, “Jean” was always ready and will¬ ing to lend a hand when help was needed. Even though she worked in her senior year, she sold tickets for sports events, answered tele¬ phones at the C.D. headquarters, and in her spare time” sold war bonds and stamps at the theatre. Glancing at that list, one would think that “Jean’s” school work must have suffered, but such was not the case. Her marks were among the highest of our class despite her other “duties.” With such will and determination, “Jean” is sure to be a suc¬ cess as a laboratory technician, her chosen work.

ANTOINETTE MARTHA D’ERRICO 31 Ruggles Street Franklin, Mass. “TEE” “Her very frowns are fairer far Than smiles of other maidens are.” Everybody possesses a smile, but none so gracious as “Tee’s.” She is the type of girl everybody likes to have for a friend. Among other pleasing qualities she has a lovely voice, and this makes her a valu¬ able person to have around. “Tee” is a member of the bookkeeping course and plans to con¬ tinue with this same type of work. Our best of luck to you as a future bookkeeper. Freshman Acquaintance Committee 4. Hallowe’en Party Committee 1, 3, 4. Basketl all 1, 2, 3. Yearbook Staff 4. Blue and White 4. Commercial Club 4.

He is very musically inclined; especially with his guitar and banjo. “Allie” showed his great athletic ability on the gridiron. This year “Allie” came out of his shell and among other things became a Romeo. “Allie’s” plan for the future is to join the Marines. We all wish him the greatest success in his chosen career.

ELLIS 12 Garden Street Franklin, Mass. “This boy, George Ellis, is very tall When Grace is around we don’t see him at all.” George, one of the many tall boys in our class, possesses blond hair and a friendly smile. He has an answer for everything and bases most of these on facts. In case someone doubts him he is able to “back” himself up. He is very successful in debating, and very few overcome him. George’s ambition is to become an airplane mechanic, and we are positive he will make a success of it. Military Training 3. Oskey 1. WANDA MARIE FICK 95 Peck Street Franklin, Mass. “A stitch in time saves nine.” Our class is fortunate to have people in it who are good workers. Wanda is one of these. No matter when or where you see her she is busy. Most of her time was spent in the cafeteria and the sew¬ ing room. Her friendly smile and disposition were welcomed in these rooms and our class rooms. We are sure that no matter what Wanda takes as a career she will make a success of it because of her diligence. Oskey 4. Etiquette Club 1. Glee Club 1, 2. JOAN MARY FOLEY 204 Union Street Franklin, Mass. “JO” “Quiet and studious and very business-like She’d be quite at ease before a radio mike.” Introducing “Jo,” one of the members of the Secretarial group. Your first impression of Joan would probably be that she was very quiet, but when, you get to know her, she is a lot of fun. “Jo” always believes in having her school work done right; that’s why her name has always been on the Honor Roll. All our best wishes with you in your future vocation as secretary, “Jo,” and we know you will be an asset to any business organization. Blue and White 4. War Savings Committee 4. Glee Club 1, 2. Page Twenty-Eight Nineteen Hundred Forty-Three JEAN CHARLOTTE FREDRICKSON 9 Farrington Street Franklin, Mass. “Beautiful eyes and lovely hair, Girls like Jean are very rare.’’ She ' s considered among her classmates as a good sport and an easy acquaintance. Always smiling and cheerful, she has become every¬ one ' s friend. In sports she ranks with the best athletes in her physical class. It can easily be seen by her classmates that she has acquired much knowledge from her conscientious studying and her faithful class at¬ tendance. To Jean we wish her good luck in her future life.

Her talent has contributed toward the success of more than one Oskey.” Next to her music. Dot’s main interests of late, lie in Dean Academy. She seems to be making a collection and so far has added to her innumerable pictures a Dean sweatshirt. Right new her prize possession is a photograph of the football team. With such charm and ability Dot” is sure to climb high on the ladder of success. Freshman Acquaintance Committee 4. Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. Oskey 1, 2, 3, 4. Etiquette Club 1.

Her personality is a great asset and her smile and sense of humor a perpetual joy to everyone. She was prominent in most student activities and has always been a devotee of good times. She is one cf the most at¬ tractive girls in our class as evidenced by the way she attracted both sexes. She has trouble with her date book. May success follow you to the Bentley School of Business Ad ministration. Junior Prom Committee 3. Freshman Acquaintance Committee 4. Hal¬ lowe’en Party Committee 1, 2, 3, 4. Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4.

ROBERT NEWTON GOWING 89 Union Street Franklin, Mass. “BOB” “STINKY” “His popularity — known, His personality — desired, Bob” is known to practically every member of our class as a staunch friend, loyal worker, and experienced musician. The Oskey Yearbook, of which he is the editor, can place the cause for the great¬ est part of its success at his doorstep. His ability for keen analysis of problems of all kinds has made him indispensable to fellow students and valuable in the classroom.

MARY T. VALENTE 13 James Street Franklin, Mass. “MAY” “Good health and good sense are two of life’s greatest blessings.” An avid baseball fan, Mary could always be found at the field in Spring, either watching practice or attending an actual game. Her major league interest was the Boston Braves despite their low rating. Not ordinarily contentious, she was always ready to argue her points on the subject of baseball. Her pleasant nature made her well-liked by both teachers and stu¬ dents. She maintained a fine standing in all her classes with her main interests centered on scientific subjects. Mary is undecided about her future work, but we feel sure she will be a success in her ultimate choice of a career. Yearbook Staff (Editorial Committee) 4. Oskey 3, 4. Honor Roll Com¬ mittee 4.

Her merry laugh would ring throughout the gym daily during the lunch hour, and, as a result, her companions were never without a smile. An enthusiastic rooter, “Margie” attended many sports events and cheered the teams to victory. Never slack in her appearance, “Margie ' s” hair was her crowning glory. Nq matter how she fixed it, and the styles were many, it al¬ ways looked like a shampoo advertisement.

Finding ourselves entering a world of hopes and fears, We take heartening courage as that milestone nears. With us we carry memories both numerous and sweet, Memories of class and field and wherever we did meet. Such possessions merit of our thanks so true, And now we try to mention to whom thanks are due. First of all our childhood guides, the pillars of the home. Our parents dear, with loving hearts, we cherish all our own. Along with life, they ' ve given us a school in which to learn, To play and work, to make a friend, and then to try life ' s turn. Years of toil since we were five-alas-have reached an end, And all the while has with us been a true, enlightening friend. That friend is every teacher; today each one has come to be America’s great symbol of democracy. Our boys will join those teachers who once taught within these halls; You ' ll find them fighting side by side wherever duty calls. The part we ' ve played has ended now; we see the curtain fall, But on we go to win a war that must be won by all. Lyrics composed by Harriet Parsons and Walter Mitchell. CLASS HISTORY ' X7 ' E BEGAN our high school career at F. H. S. one Wednesday morning ’ in September, 1939. Our group then consisted of 152 students. We tried to appear sophisticated and nonchalant Nut it seems the upper classmen were well aware of our inner concerns. After stumbling through our first few weeks, wandering into the wrong classes, and invariably making spectacles of ourselves, we were pleased to learn that we were finally being recognized as members of the student body. We were invited by the seniors to attend the annual Freshman Acquaintance Party given in our honor. At this afifair our hands were duly wrung (an ordeal few of us will ever forget) but, on the whole, it was an enjoyable and memorable occasion. The next social event was the Hallowe’en Party. The freshmen class took a large part in this and contributed partly to its success by serving on various committees. During our first year members of our class participated in several assem¬ blies. The Etiquette Club was formed by Mr. DePasqua, and several members of our class joined this organization. Time passed swiftly and with it passed our freshman year. When we came back in the fall of 1940, we recalled the previous year and smiled, for we realized it was no longer necessary to appear nonchalant. We were full-fledged sophomores and, as such, were accustomed to the rou¬ tine and felt quite at home. At our first class meeting, we elected the following students to serve as officers : Fred Pasini, president; Virginia Cataldo, vice-president; Agnes Mahoney, secretary ; and Fred Hodges, treasurer. A Social Committee was selected to plan all social activities for the coming year. Those chosen were Robert Gowing, “Kay” McNally, and Donald Sampson. Miss Beane was chosen to be our class advisor. Miss Keefe left us this year and her duties were taken up by Miss Rose. Miss DeBaggis also joined the teaching staff this year. At the Freshmen Acquaintance Party, it was our turn as upper-classmen to wring the hands of the defenseless freshmen but recalling our own ex¬ periences, we were merciful. Nineteen Hundred Forty-Three Page Forty-Seven □ The Social Committee was in charge of a successful social held in Feb¬ ruary. This year, members of our class were well represented in all activities; band, orchestra, sports, and we also participated in the Oskey Minstrel Show. So passed our second year as high school students. We returned in September as juniors (most of us) and were ready and willing to undertake our new duties. The first of these duties was to elect class officers. Donald Sampson became president, Walter Mitchell—vice-president, Agnes Mahoney—secre¬ tary, and Fred Hodges—treasurer. The Social Committee was elected as follows: Fred Pasini, Jean Santoro, Elinor Keefe, and Mary Morrissey. Rob¬ ert Cowing, Donald Mackintosh, “Kay” McNally, Eileen Buffone, Virginia Cataldo, and John Mazzone comprised the Ring Committee. As a class, we supervised many entertaining socials. Dancing lessons were given at these socials and the idea proved profitable and successful. The most important event of the year for us was the “Prom.” We started making plans after the February vacation. This year, because of “Doc ' s” illness, Miss Beane aided us greatly by directing the Grand March. The “Prom” was a gala affair. The gymnasium was decorated in the setting of a pent-house. To set it off, a star-studded sky was suspended from the ceiling. The senior class gave to each junior a ticket to the Hop at Lake Pearl. This was in return for the “Prom” reception. Upon re-entering in the fall, we took up our positions as dignified seniors. We were greeted by several new teachers. Many of our male teachers had left to join the armed forces. These teachers were the Messrs. Colbert, Abbott, and Fitzpatrick. Mr. Hancock had also left to resume other duties. The new teachers were Mr. Walsh, and the Misses Nichols, Marrs, and Bailey. The first social event of the year was the Freshmen Acquaintance Party. This was, of course, under the supervision of the seniors . Class officers were elected and the following students were chosen: Donald Sampson, president; Raymond Dow, vice-president; Agnes Mahoney, secretary; and Lucy Vignone, treasurer. This year’s Social Committee consisted of Helen Hutchinson, Elinor Keefe, Marjorie Young, Fred Pasini, Roger Brunelli, and Donald Mackintosh. Page Forty-Eight Nineteen Hundred Forty-Three i Card socials were held during the year and the proceeds went to the senior class. The social affairs presented by the seniors were all very successful. Early in the spring committees were elected for the Oskey, Hop, and Yearbook. Robert Gowing became editor-in-chief of the yearbook, Ray¬ mond Dow was dramatic chairman for the Oskey, and Fred Pasini was music chairman. Early in “ ’43” Mr. Doherty became Lieutenant Doherty of the Army Air Corps and Mr. Charles Frazer, better known as “Doc,” became our principal. The Oskey show was held the 29th and 30th of April. It was a Canteen Show in which the canteens of both World Wars were represented. The efforts of Miss Beane, “Doc,” and the cast were not in vain. The show met with great success. It was presented to packed houses both nights. Many had to be turned away because of the limited capacity of the auditorium. Donald Sampson was master of ceremonies. The War Savings Committee, under the direction of Walter Mitchell, did a wonderful job this year. Through their efforts, more war bonds were purchased and added to the fund for obtaining the plaque which will honor all Franklin High School boys who serve in the armed forces. In April, graduation honors were announced as follows: valedictorian, Laurabelle Brunelli; salutatorian, Walter Mitchell; 1st essay, Robert Gow¬ ing; 2nd essay, Donald Sampson; 3rd essay, Harriet Parsons; and 4th essay, George Maringas. At our next class meeting, the procedure of electing class-day honors was planned. Class-day honors were as follows: Jeanette DeLucia ; Proph¬ ecy; Lucy Vignone, Gifts; Virginia Cataldo, Class Will; Raymond Dow, Ora¬ tion ; and your historian. The membership of our class has dropped to 85. Many of our former class-mates are now members of L ' ncle Sam’s fighting forces. The class of 1943 is proud of these boys and joins me in wishing each and every one of them all the luck in the world. To sum up, our 4 years at F. H. S. have been years of profitable study and enjoyment. Our associations with teachers and each other have and will prove valuable. We are proud of our Alma Mater and hope that she will be proud of us.

What a tremendous problem he is facing. The wholesale murders of not only servicemen but also helpless civilians, plus the wanton destruction of priceless and irreplaceable property, place a serious and unprecedented burden upon the shoulders of today’s American youth. Only by the “blood, sweat, and tears” of countless millions, can this truly horrible state of affairs into which the world has fallen be finally and completely ironed out. Upon these strong and willing shoulders will fall the following huge tasks: 1. The disarming of the defeated countries. 2. The feeding of the undernourished countries. 3. The material rebuilding of the world. 4. The reorganizing of trade routes and the freedom of the seas. 5. The welding of international law and brotherhood among all nations, plus the funda¬ mental outline for an enduring peace. One of the most delicate problems facing us will be the disarming of the defeated countries. Even with our pledge of “unconditional surrender” here will be a most trying task, for this time the disarmament must be complete. There must be no loopholes, for if there are the ominous clouds of war will once more roll over the horizon and another worldwide conflagration will break loose with unbounded fury. There is a good possibility that the defeated countries will be sullen, antagonistic, and uncooperative so this proposition must be handled by cool heads. We must be firm but uncompromising. After the disarmament, the valuable steel, iron, etc., in the machines of Mars may be converted for industrial and building purposes. As there are a great many level-headed students in American schools, I feel certain that they will be equal to this delicate task. The nations which have fallen under the Axis yoke have had almost their entire food supply looted and seized by the armies of occupation. Greece, Poland, the Netherlands and Czechoslovakia: these are slowly being starved to death. Men, women, and children are losing their strength. They are barely able to travel to and from work, not to speak of their doing a hard day ' s work. They are susceptible to disease: young men and women are being stricken in their prime, and still others are slowly dying from malnutrition. These pitiable un¬ fortunates will depend upon the “land of plenty, America, to feed them when victory has been won. At present too many of our food supplies and medicines are being confiscated by the invaders. Dieticians, doctors, and experienced agricultural students will be needed to set many of these lands back on their feet. From America must come fresh fruits and vegetables, milk, meat, and other foods to feed these starving nations. Here in the United States we are ex¬ tremely fortunate to have our farms and dairies still producing the foods that we need. Soon the need will be even greater and the tillers of the soil will have an extensive job to do. Do you think they are equal to the task? One of the vast and immense problems facing draftsmen, carpenters, and engineers, is the material rebuilding of the many cities devastated and razed by this relentless air war. Today the headlines often read: “Bremen, Brest, and Naples blasted by the Yanks and R. A. F.,” “Lon¬ don. Stalingrad, and Coventry heavily bombed by the LuftwafFe. Millions upon millions of homes, churches, hospitals, and public buildings are being laid waste under incessant poundings from big guns and terrific bombings. People are living out in the open air with only the blue sky for a roof, in dirty and disease-ridden hovels, and still too many are barely existing behind the grim walls of Nazi and Japanese concentration camps. At the time of liberation, and with the help of God may that day be soon in coming, these homeless communities will have no Nineteen Hundred Forty-Three Page Fifty-Nine place to call “home.” Entire cities must be rebuilt with comfortable houses, where there will be enough room to accommodate each family adequately, and built well enough to allow sun¬ light and fresh air to enter in order to lessen the opportunities for disease. One could easily name ten or fifteen cities that have been razed and laid waste. These “ideal ' ' communities must be rebuilt if mankind is to be preserved, and upon skilled workers will fall the greater portion of the planning and rebuilding of these cities and towns. One good result of this conflict, how¬ ever. will be the extermination of disease-ridden slums the world over, with all families re¬ ceiving better living quarters. Thus, one more task has been added to the already heavy burden upon the able shoulders of our young generation. A very rapid advancement in air transportation will follow this war. Before plans for extensive air transportation can be drawn up, however, supplies will have to be transported the world over. The South American and Alaskan highways must be completed; easier and faster routes for liners and freighters are to be mapped out. All nations will be brought closer to¬ gether by these rapid means of transportation. Traveling and commerce will be greatly in- Cieased, resulting in international trade laws which must not be disregarded and tariffs which must be standardized. The seven seas must be opened to all nations with no one nation placing restrictions on its territorial waters. The submarine menace must be completely driven from the seas. These new sea lanes which are to be opened up must be mapped out very carefully in order to lessen the careless accidents that could result from faster modes of transportation. There will be enough experienced men after victory to man the planes and ships. Our big problem is to find easier, faster, and safer routes for these hardy men. The largest and most tremendous problem facing us by far is the welding of international brotherhood among all nations plus the forming of the fundamental outline for an endurirg peace. The world today is reputed to be fairly well civilized. There is a slight doubt in my mind concerning this theory. If mankind today is truly civilized, why can ' t these dangerous political problems be settled by the peaceable means of arbitration instead of grueling murder¬ ous wars? It is our duty as the future generation which will govern the world to impress upon all nations the fundamental precepts of brotherhood and peace. Some sort of governing body, elected by either the people or government officials, must be formed to meet semi-annually and discuss all matters troubling all nations. This plan very easily could be based on the Pan- American Union, which has given the world a shining example of how many countries can live in peace for years. It has always followed after previous wars that the children of the men and women defeated in that previous war have had a desire to avenge their parents ' defeat. This feeling of revenge must be completely wiped out. We must show the defeated nations that we have no ill feelings toward them. They must be shown that all nations can peacefully live to¬ gether under the democratic ideals of equality, freedom of press and religion, and freedom from fear and want. Great men for centuries have tried to straighten this out. We must not fail. It is our world to live in and rule. We want our world free from hardships and bloodshed. We want to be free and happy. We want no ill feelings among nations. In order to give ourselves and our children a better and happier world, we will work and work hard to present to the world the fairness and equality of democratic ideals, straining every nerve and muscle until the world is safe for all nations, of all creeds and colors, living in complete harmony together. This is our main objective. WE WILL NOT FAIL. Our main problems have been presented. They show a heavy burden is to be placed upon our young and strong shoulders. It will be a long and difficult road to travel, beset by pitfalls and dangers. Ours is not an easy task. But I am certain that each American youth, with the help of Gcd, will march shoulder to shoulder, firmly and confidently along the thorny road to build forever a free, better, and happier world.

Due to the Naval enlistment of our former Coach, George Colbert, “Hack” Walsh came forward and did a supreme job in molding a good football aggregation out of practically all “green” football hopefuls. The team led by Capt. Joh n Mazzone, split the 4 game season by winning two and losing two. Outstanding throughout the year were: Capt. J. Mazzone, J. Carr, F. Saster, D. Sewell, W. Spence, G. Simmons, J. Momjian. The summary is as follows: Franklin 0 Medway 6 Franklin 6 Foxboro 0 Franklin 14 Hopkinton 7 Franklin 0 North Attleboro 19 Page Sixty-Six Nineteen Hundred Forty-Three BASEBALL B ASEBALL STARTED off this year under the confident hand of our new coach, “Hack” Walsh. Enthusiasts from Freshman to Senior classes turned out to play the game that has always been so popular with the boys at Franklin High School. The season was necessarily limited to but a few games, due to transportation difficulties, but in those few games the boys showed great ability and spirit found only under good leader¬ ship and high standards. Players are as follows: Capt. D. Sewell. E. Schluntz, J. McDonald, J. Penque, T. Pecci, G. Simmons, N. Pidgeon, . C. Jenest, C. McNally, F. Pasini, H. Eknian, J. Santoro, W. Spence, L. Pisano, D.

They suffered defeat, but with their spirit, teamwork, and knowledge gained through experience, they nobly defended the school colors. With one of the toughest schedules ever booked the Blue and White ended its season with nine wins and ten losses. Regulars and subs included: Captain “Joe Carr. “Eddie Schluntz, “Charlie Jenest, Butch Saster, Don Anderson, Pete Bartelloni, Franny Allen, and “Don Mackintosh. Due to the war, bus service was unavailable. With the aid of private cars, however, transportation was made possible.

On the court were boys of all abilities and sizes, with three Freshmen showing great prospects as well as others who have had previous basketball experience. More than half of the team’s competition resulted in wins — with some games cancelled due to transportation difficulties. The lineup was as follows: Capt. N. Mucciarone, R. Mucciarone, J. MacDonald, S. Cugno, J. Penque, G. Wiggin, H. Bartolomei, H. Eknian, G. Johnson, D. Sullivan, R. Apa-• lakian, and D. McCormick. Nineteen Hundred Forty-Three Page Sixty-Nine GIRLS’ ATHLETICS T HIS YEAR the girls ' athletic program was run on the basis of physical fitness. Under the direction of Miss Alice Beane an exhibition was given to show that the girls were doing much to keep strong and healthy. The names of the various athletic teams had a militaristic aspect—-such names as: Test Pilots, Senior Coast Guards, WAACS, WAVES, Army Nurses, and Senior Air Cadets. During the year our program consisted of volleyball, basketball, badminton, softball, and physical fitness exercises, the girls taking part in each with enthusiasm. The point system is still being used and many girls will be receiving their various awards. The point system is as follows: Volleyball 20 points Numerals 100 points Basketball 30 points Letter 170 points Badminton 20 points Star 200 points Softball 30 points Emblem 300 points Posture 30 points The volleyball tournament was won by the Test Pilots and the First Aiders were run¬ ners-up. The girls ' intramural basketball tournament was won by the Senior Coast Guards, and the Junior Marines came in second. Badminton and softball were played to the end of the year.

Page Seventy-Tivo Nineteen Hundred Forty-Three ★ ★ ★ ★ Activities ★ ★ ★ ★ ORCHESTRA U NDER the capable direction of Mr. Stevens the orchestra continued its usual active pro¬ gram this year by participating in school assemblies and plays, outside functions held in the school auditorium, and a Horace Mann observance program at the Grange Hall. One of the high points of the year was the orchestra’s assistance at both performances of Rubinoff and his Violin.” Actually the orchestra was supposed to play at the matinee only, but Mr. Rubinoff requested their attendance at his evening concert and praised them publicly for their precision, intonation, and balance. Among the good times was a spaghetti feed given by J. Socci at his home. Members of the orchestra did their share at the Oskey Show with H. Parsons, F. Pasini. and J. Socci providing a continuous musical background. This year the orchestra was fortunate in its veteran members and t heir loss by graduation will be felt keenly — “Fred” Pasini, Harriet Parsons, “Bob” Gowing, Don” Mackintosh, “Bunny” Mitchell, Bill” Gurwitz,—-all members since their freshman year.

Page Seventy-Four Nineteen Hundred Forty-Three GLEE CLUB T HE GLEE CLUB, although small in size, made very good progres s in the various activi¬ ties it undertook. It was directed very well by Mrs. Riley. Its meetings were held on Monday and Friday of each week. This year the Glee Club was the sponsor of the Victory Sing, a show which proved to be very successful. The Victory Sing, as far as we know, was the first in New England and possibly in the United States. Mrs. Riley did splendid work as did all the girls. The Glee Club was asked to sing at the farewell assembly of Mr. Doherty, our former principal, also for the Christmas assembly and Class Day exercises. The members and director did wonderful work and should be congratulated.

Its purpose is two-fold; first, to keep records of the past students now in the service; and second, to correspond with them. This committee was organized by Mr. Doherty and since his entrance into the service, it has been capably led by Miss DeBaggis. The Honor Roll Committee has been doing fine work in keeping up the morale of the former Franklin High boys now serving our country. Page Seventy-Eight Nineteen Hundred Forty-Three THE SALVAGE COMMITTEE T HE SALVAGE COMMITTEE is a new committee which was organized this year for the purpose of collecting the different kinds of scrap material which are needed by our government. During the year they have held drives for paper, scrap, metal, and tin. The money received from the sale of these materials is turned into war bonds. At the maturity of these bonds, a bronze tableau will be purchased and placed in the school. In¬ scribed upon this will be the names of all the former Franklin High students, who have been in the armed forces. Nineteen Hundred Forty-Three Page Seventy-Nine OSKEY T HIS YEAR the Oskey had a surprisingly new idea. It gave to the townspeople an “Oskey Canteen. This was a preview of the old canteen in the first World War and the new canteen in the second World War. Donald Sampson, our class president, was master of cere¬ monies for the Modern Canteen. For our old canteen we had Robert Gowing, but before he had a chance to perform he was called into the Army Air Corps for training. A short time before our first performance we had to scout around and find a new master of ceremonies. By chance we got David Sullivan who did an excellent job in the role of the colonel. The show was under the able direction of Miss Beane, Doc” Frazer, and the chairman of the Oskey committee, Raymond Dow. Truthfully, this Oskey was a great success. Mem¬ bers of the staff who deserve praise are: musical chairman, Fred Pasini; dramatic chairman, Walter Mitchell: pianist, Harriet Parsons: costumer, Miss Wiggin: and other members of the committee, Alexander DiCamillo, Norman Pidgeon, Billy” Spence, Laurabelle Brunelli, Jeanette DeLucia, and Vincent DeBaggis. We congratulate those who took part in the chorus and specialty numbers. Page Eighty Nineteen Hundred Forty-Three WAR SAVINGS COMMITTEE F ULL COOPERATION of the student body was given to this committee which has aided in the selling of more than $5000 worth of war stamps and bonds in seven months of this school year. Since its institution in April, 1942, it has been very successful, under the able leadership of Chairman Walter Mitchell. We were all proud of being complimented by our principal for our wonderful coopera¬ tion, and we wish the committee much success in years to come.

CHARLES W. ANDERSON MILITARY DRILL T HE PEOPLE of Franklin may well take pride in the fact that the School Committee, about three years ago, acted favorably on the suggestion of the local post of the American Legion and instituted a course in Military Training. The instructors have been: George Cook, now Chief Radioman, U. S. Navy, in the Aleutian Islands. Richard Baker, now in U. S. Marine Corps in the South Pacific. Mr. McDonald, a veteran of the First World War. Charles W. Anderson, also a veteran of the First World War, who is now serving as instructor. When school opened last fall, Mr. Howard Laundry instituted a course of physical training that is the same as that given to all who go into the armed forces. The military and physical training has proven to be of great help to those who have left our school to fight in defense of our country.
