THE OSKEY FRANKLIN HIGH SCHOOL J. MURRAY STEVENS Mr. Stevens’ all-around knowledge has helped out many of us when we needed sound advice. When one goes to his classes or has an informal talk with him, one is sure to come out with helpful ideas. Surely, when we look back at our days at F. H. S. we will appreciate even more what Mr. Stevens has HENRI C. BEANE Mr. Beane is one of the most popular members of the faculty. He is known mainly for his excellent basket¬ ball teams. Some of the teams he has produced have been included among the finest of the state in Class B. He has helped make basketball the most popular high school sport in F. H. S. Mr. Beane and his teams have helped popularize Franklin’s name throughout Massa¬ chusetts. Although Mr. Beane is known as our basket¬ ball coach, he ' s also well-known as our successful athletic director. The ease with which Mr. Beane handles his classes makes everyone feel comfortable and in a state of mind ready for study. It isn’t any wonder that he has so many A pupils. MISS DeBAGGIS English , Latin, and Italian Miss DeBaggis, our class advisor, is one of F. H. S.’s most popular teachers. Her classes are always as enjoy¬ able as they are educational. As our competent Latin teacher she made many of us realize that Latin is an important as well as an interesting language. We will miss you, Miss DeBaggis, and long remem¬ ber you. We know that future pupils at F. H. S will appreciate you as we did. Nineteen Hundred Forty-five Page Thirteen

FRANKLIN HIGH SCHOOL THE OSKEY JOHN RODGERS The quiet, unimposing member of the faculty, Mr. Rodgers has an intense concern for our welfare which has made him well liked and respected by all, during the past four years. His high standards and ideals have inspired us to greater heights in our scholastic achieve¬ ments. It is with the greatest reluctance that we leave one of our truest friends behind us. MISS BEANE Health Education, General Math., Girls ' Physical Director In “Beanie” we found both a teacher and a friend. As the girls’ physical director she was wonderful, and her classes proved as enjoyable as they did helpful. Al¬ ways ready to give a helping hand, she chaperoned at many of our social hours, directed the Grand March at our Junior Prom and in every way she could she made our high school years happy ones. We know that the future classes will admire her as much as we do. MARION E. HOLMES An English class and teacher that one looks forward to! That is the reputation that our popular head of the English Department has won and lived up to. Miss Holmes’ warmth, personality, and true and lively interest in the welfare of her pupils make it so. May she always uphold our ideal of a “student’s teacher” Page Twelve Nineteen Hundred Forty-five

THE OSKEY FRANKLIN HIGH SCHOOL MISS EDITH Z. ROSE What’s personality? It’s that indefinable something which radiates from Miss Rose’s face. She never could stress enough the importance of having a pleasing per¬ sonality. If her students use her as an example, they are sure to be successes! “Cute” is the word for EZR. Strangers think her a student, and who wouldn ' t? Your constructive suggestions and helpfulness, espe¬ cially with the Commercial group, will not be forgotten, Miss Rose. BERTHA NICHOLS If you ever had Miss Nichols as a Home Room teacher, you know that she does have a sense of humor despite all you might have heard. Miss Nichols deserves the Purple Heart for what she went through with the Seniors this year, but we can only thank her. Under her supervision, the Commercial Department has progressed, and she has sent many members of our class into the business world with valuable training. MARY L. MARRS With us for three of our four years in Franklin High, Miss Marrs has had a personal interest in each and every one of her pupils which will long be remembered by the graduating class of 1945. Much can be said and written, but the main part of our gratitude must remain unexpressed, for it can only be felt. Our thanks to you, Miss Man’s, for what you have done for us.
