Franklin High School ' s students have many qualities in common which makes them unique. CANDID AND OPEN The candid or open manner in which the students of Franklin High convey their feelings or attitudes to teachers and ad¬ ministrators; this form of communication is one of the most important factors in the continued improvement of the educational climate of our schools. Robert Cresto Robert Cresto is the Assistant Super¬ intendent in Franklin. FRIENDLINESS AND OPENNESS It is difficult to choose the one human quality from the many fine qualities found in the students of Franklin school. Forced to make such a decision, I would choose the quality of FRIENDLINESS AND OPEN¬ NESS of the Franklin student body. The students have been extremely helpful to me in my adjustment to a new school and community situation. Their willingness to discuss their school and town with me has given me a good perspective of the educational needs of the community. In addition, the students friendliness mani¬ fested in their smiles and greetings in the school corridors and throughout the town, is part of this fine human quality which engenders a desire to work with and for these young adults. Frank J. Giuliano, Jr. Frank J. Giuliano, Jr. is the Superin¬ tendent of Franklin Schools. Your idea of dedicating this book to People was an absolutely fantastic idea. After all, that is half of what this world is made. I mean, where would we be today if it weren ' t for other people? And the word, People just about covers everyone. Unique, funny, poor, old, bitchy, friendly, even the heads. They ' re all people. And without knowing each one of them, can we really say we know what people are like? This book helps give an all around view of the people at F.H.S., and let me tell you--that ' s a pretty good representation of the different kinds of people. ■� I enjoyed your two previous publica¬ tions but this one is really something else. You guys did a fantastic job (thank-you all) and I hope to see more of this type of work done in future years. Debbi THEME—PEOPLE Well, people, this is our yearbook and no one else ' s! And guess what the theme is. Never mind, if you can ' t figure it out just read the cover. No, it ' s not Franklin High School 1975—it ' s People! It was people who were responsible for this one-of-a-kind yearbook and the book is made up of one-of-a-kind people. The great thing is that our yearbook is more unique than any other. Where else can you find the exact same 304 seniors spread over 50 pages? (Unless Mr. Evans decides that he can ' t possibly let 304 fantastic seniors graduate.) We all share one quality and that is that we all are the first class to have gone through all four years of absolute heaven (?) together. Just think, where would this school be without us? Remember, it was some of us who organized those great class dances, broke windows in the cafeteria, forgot to go to detention for throwing milk cartons, and cheered on our sports teams in both victory and defeat. Now I hope you get the idea. It just proves that it takes all kinds to make up a school. Gayle Crook 2 COOPERATION The thing I find most unique about F.H.S. is the size. We have approximately 1,300 people in this school, not counting teachers. Ours is probably the most populat¬ ed school in all of Norfolk County. How¬ ever, it is also one of the best run schools in Norfolk County. This can be attributed to cooperation. The cooperation between faculty and students, students and students, and faculty and faculty. Problems like vandalism, acoholism, discipline, and drugs exist; however, these are nationwide problems and are not unique to F.H.S. These problems, which are experienced by the minority, are counteracted by the productive things done by the majority such as youth groups, clubs, and team sports which build char¬ acter rather than destroy it. But even though these problems exist, I personally feel that F.H.S. is one helluva school and I am proud to be an officer. Bill Burke Senior Class President THANKS PEOPLE I would I i ke to open I y thank the people from People Magazine for allowing us to use their format for our book. Most of the layouts and headings you will see are straight out of the magazine. Every carat, (those little arrow things), every I ine, every page from their magazine. We ' ve kept this book fairly clean and respectable and we are sure it conforms to their requirements. Without their permission, our book wouldn ' t look like it does right now. So, if you like it, you can truck on down to any local news store and buy a few coDies of People Magazine. And if you really like it, write them a letter and show them how much you I ike it. So to People Magazine I would like to say thank-you .... People Magazine —Thanks a lot.

Balest is one of three music teachers at FHS who help with the musical productions. M. Gormley corrects a speed reading quiz for one of his students. I Mr. Joseph Gormley Mr. Gormley is a greathelpto many of the students ofF.H.S. Some kids never heard of him but those who have can consider themselves fortunate. He ' s a great guy to talk to because he ' s intelligent and un¬ derstanding. Most of the kids go to him on a volunteer basis. I wanted to improve my reading. They learn to read faster and with more understanding. They are also introduced to a number of vocabulary words. But beyond the educational part of it, Mr. Gormley is a great guy. The kids respect him because he . . . doesn ' t give us a hard time—he listens to our side of it first! One student said of Mr. G., he didn ' t turn me in, he helped me out! Mr. Gormley can be found in L120 in the reading room. Mr. Patrick Carney Pat Carney (slightly Irish) is a great asset to this school and was nominated to Bio by the Yearbook Staff. He is the dis¬ trict co-ordinator. He is a very funny person and a delight to work with. And he thinks Franklin is great too! Of the kids I ' ve met, this years student body seems to know what ' s going on. They know what they ' re doing and they have fun doing it! Pat beleives in students with young minds. He thinks young people are realer than adults. The class of ' 75 (that ' s us kids) had the energy of the class of ' 73 and the diligence of the class of ' 74. It ' s not really a happy medium--but a happy combination. Mr. Richard Balest Mr. Balest is the head of the Music Dept, and a very good band director. Uncle Dicky as he is called by some of his students, is in charge of producing Oskey each year. And he does a fine job. Many of the kids find him understanding and likeable. He likes us kids and he ' d do just about anything for us. . . . He ' s a nice guy! A Mr. Olsen is a member of the math dept, and is the advisor to the Class of ' 75. Mr. Lumente is the adjustment counselor and is well-respected by many students. V A Mr. Johnston is a member of the social studies dept, and very active in dramatic productions like 1776. Mr. Ralph 0 Isen Mr. Olsen, from the Math Dept., is our Senior Class ad¬ visor. And a good one at that. He is open and honest with the kids in school. Several kids in school think of Mr. Olsen as a nice guy and as someone they can talk to. He spends his spare time playing army and going to night school in Framingham. As an advisor he lets the kids do pretty much as they please. ' Not everything!—but almost. As a teacher he makes class more interesting with his army stories . But when he ' s in the classroom, he gives the kids a chance to prove their responsi¬ bility. Either we do it or we don ' t! If we fail it ' s mostly our own fault. Mr. Anthony Lumente Mr. Lumente, the school adjustment counselor, has helped many students at F.H.S. Stu¬ dents with personal, school or family problems are directed to Mr. Lumente for counseling. He ' s easy to talk to be¬ cause he listens! ... I had never heard of him until I ran away from home and tried to quit school. It took a little work on my part but now I ' m making straight A ' s. Mr. Lumente really gets in¬ volved with the kids problems. A large part of his work includes going to the kids ' homes and getting to the root of the problem. Mr. Lumente ' s door is open to anyone with a problem--big or small! Mr. James Johnston Mr. J.J. is a social stud¬ ies teacher at F.H.S. He ' s in¬ volved in many histrical events in Franklin including the produc¬ tion of the Senior Class Play-- 1776 . . . And All That . J.J. knows more about the History of Franklinthan most peo¬ ple. Anyone who ' s ever been to his house can see his large col¬ lection of antiques. Everyone knows Mr. John¬ ston by one name or another— Oh, you mean ' Shorty ' ! He ' s decent! His room, C219, is open to tmt Mr. James Chelotti Mr. Chelotti, from the Social Studies Dept., admires the fact that students are offered a wide variey of opportunities for them to acquire ski I Is, se If-confidence, knowledge, and a positive self image through the best of edu¬ cational methods and materials. Mr. Chelotti is a very funny and intelligent man, admired by most of the students. He is pleasant and easy to talk to. Students tend to agree that he is one of the few faculty mem¬ bers who really puts himself in our place. He ' s never afraid to be himself. While teaching Psychology, he finds most gratifying, the op¬ portunity to help young people learn more about themselves and the worldthey live in , and through this, open the door to a happy, rewarding life. Mrs. deLaubenfels looks more like a part of the class as she sits amongst the stu¬ dents in her English class. Mr. Mol la teaches his students how to start from the bottom and work up. Being himself, Mr. Chelotti sits com¬ fortably in front of his Psychology students. each and every person and their ideas as if they were your own. It ' s not too hard to find some¬ one who knows Mr. Mo I la, if not by looks , at least by name. He is kind of a living legend and tru¬ ly an asset to F. H. S. She also finds them warm and affectionate. Her room is open to any wan¬ dering passer-by. And when it seems like no one understands you, Mrs. D. is more than will¬ ing to listen to and understand anyone. I enjoy myself! 11 Mrs. D. enjoys camping, traveling and all kinds of sport events. She spends her leisure time reading a book or admiring such people as Noam Chomsky, a humanitarian, or Buck Ful¬ ler. (Buckminster Fuller to us common folk.) Her advise for the future is, Be courageous and responsible in your decision making. Thank you Mrs. deLaub! Mr. Francis Mo I la Most of us know Mr. Mo I la as the Be Nice man. Outside of hammering nails and building houses, he enjoys a social chat with the student body. He ' s a good guy. If you didn ' t know Mr. Mo I la, he appears to come on rather mean and hard, yetundoubted ly, before he leaves he ' II instruct you to Be Nice! Get to know as many people in as many areas of life as posi- ble, on all levels, and respect Mrs. Catherine DeLaubenfels Ms. deLaub , as she is more commonly known, spends her days at F.H.S. teaching English. Any time you walk by her class, you are sure to find her sittingamong 15or20 captivated students. She ' s very realistic, and at the same time, she ' s very intelligent. When asked what she admired most about the students she said, Their honesty about themselves. to new ideas and wi I ling to coop¬ erate ... far more courteous and respectful of each other and of teacher, than students I have seen elsewhere. We love you to Queeny! Mr. Gerald Leone A proud man is Mr. Leone, and justifiably so. He led our 1 team to victory many times, Outside of football, he teaches Math. He admires Ihe students ' Determination, Poise and Tryingto figure out the Mew Math System , Mr. Leone works intently. Pride . Mr. Leone possesses Determination, Desire and Ded¬ ication. He would like to im¬ press these characteristics on everyone for the future. A word of advice—Get to know Mr. Leone, he ain ' t a bad guy. Smiling, as usual, Ms. Maguire instructs one of her English classes. . She would like to impress one thing on the students and that is, The world is a big place, full of many beautiful sights and a wide range of interesting people. Travel. Take advantage of all the world has to offer you. Mrs. Takoohy Reizian Mrs . Reizian heads the DECA program at F.H. S. and spends even her spare time working with and for the kids. Most of the DECA activities take place after school, week¬ ends or evenings. Mrs. Reizian, at her desk in the D.E. store, where she is usually found, enjoys working with the students at F.H.S.. viduality of people, the world would be a beautiful place. Her classrooms are comfort¬ able and easy going. Heavy dis¬ cussions often arise within the classroom, headed by her firm belief in such matters as women ' s lib and the irrelavency of thumb¬ tacks . Most of the seniors, at one time or another, have worked with Mrs. Reizian, and they seem to enjoy her. She ' s willing to listen to the kids, ; She sticks up for us! Mrs. Reizian in return, finds the F.H.S. students receptive Ms. Susan Maguire Besides teaching English full time, Ms. Maguire advises the yearbook staff. She enjoys working with the youngpeopleatF.H. S. Shesays You tend to keep in touch with what ' s happening in society. Ms. Maguire relates to the students on their own level and rather effectively at that. She listens to and respects the opin¬ ions of others. If everyone could learn to respect and appreciate the indi- Mr. Evans, the principal of F.H.S., is calm and good-humored and besides, he ' s a nice guy. A Mr. Vallencourt, a member of the science dept., is also the advisor to the Class of 1977. Mr. Sacco, a member of the music dept., has been instrumental in improving the quality of the chorus. all for a talk, a problem or a lit¬ tle historical background. I like him Mr. Arthur Sacco Mr. Sacco, also of the music Dept., is choral director at F. H. S.. He introduced and now di¬ rects Choral Competition. Many of the kids say it ' s the first time they got a chance to show off their voices. His main interest is in improv¬ ing the qua lity and variety of the musical production. He ' s always wi I ling to he Ip the kids at Frank lin High to improve themselves . Not only does he direct the High School Chorus, but the Ju¬ nior High and elementary grades as well. He really cares about the students and he wants to help them help themselves. Mr. Charles Vai llencourt Mr. Vaillencourt, the Junior Class Advisor, teaches out of the Science Dept. Most of the stu¬ dents like Mr. V. I think he is a pretty nice guy. 11 He is a uniq ue teacher! 11 When you talk to him, he comes on as a person, nota teach¬ er or a disciplinarian! He cares about the individuals. When I see him in the halls, he always says hi. Students say that he always has time to listen to them and their problems. And unlike most adults, he really DOES listen. Mr. Vaillencourt is a sensi¬ ble man with a lot of good ideas. MR. Richard Evans Principa I Mr. Evans entered this school as principal in September of the 73-74 year. Since then many people have come to know and admire him. He holds private conferences with 8 or 10 individuals at a time so that he may get to know them and they may get to know him. At these conferences the students get to express their views on such things as Super¬ vised Study. it ' s a minority of students who cause the trouble and this Supervised Study is one way to filter them out. It was the stu¬ dents ' idea. He really cares about the school and the student body as a whole and as individuals. ON ' j l KALEIDOSCOPE 74 Dawn Meyers sings Sons of.

This year ' s Kaleidoscope was entitled, Something Out of the Ordinary. The peop le in the cast felt they did present something out of the ordinary. The acts varied greatly from soloists to a full cast dance routine, from skits to the M.C. ' s jokes. The show started off with a welcome from Jacqui Schaef¬ fer singing Wilkomen which she adapted from Cabaret. The audience was then welcomed by the host and hostess of the even¬ ing, Dave LeBlanc and Raye Lynn Mercer. Many songs were included in this year ' s show; they ranged from I Don ' t Know How to Love Him to American Pie . Since this year ' s singing talent was excel¬ lent; the audience enjoyed the 15 songs immensely. Also seen that evening were 4 excellent skits. The first was Perfume and Soggy Sweatsuits which showed the true side of the girls ' track team. Peter and the Wolf was done in a differentway.

The new mem¬ bers were given N.H.S. member¬ ship cards and N.H.S. pins as momentos of the evening. Every¬ one proudly filed down the aisles of the lecture hall to receive their pins and cards from Mrs. Gebow, the N.H.S. advisor. In order to be inducted, students must dis¬ play qua lities of service, charact¬ er, leadership, as well as scholarship.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY PLEDGE National Honor Society In this group, members are elected because of their schol¬ arly abi lities, leadership, ac¬ tivit ies in school, and outside affairs. We are a small group, but we have a larger project. We are trying to lend a hand to those who need help in school subjects through a tutoring program. So far we ' ve helped many students who seem to have profited from this assistance and hope to con¬ tinue. Both the student and the tutor learn something in the pro¬ cess of those sessions. They learn how rewarding it is to help others with your accomplishments and we hope to set a good ex¬ ample for those around us. A Vice President of N.H.S., Pia Lodi, walks away with a smile. I pledge myself Always to seek the light of truth. To hold scholarly habits, To engage in worthy service, And to lead forward in all things That shall advance the welfare of the school. I pledge myself To uphold the high purposes of this Society To which I have been elected, Striving in every way By word and Deed To make its ideals of my school and life.

Yergatian JUNIOR MISS PAGEANT The local and state pag¬ eants have been a symbolic ex¬ perience of my life. I have en¬ joyed myself as I did during the rehearsals of the state pageant. We expressed ourselves in danc¬ ing, singing, laughing, and mak¬ ing new friends which was what it was all about. A With thumbs up, Liz Fiscus sings of her search for the perfect match. Through these experiences, I have discovered that friendship and love are the greatest gifts. There were those who helped each other during rehearsals, those who rooted for me, all my friends and neighbors, and those who love me, my family who are a great influence to my life. With¬ out these gifts, I would have been lost. Dona Bissonnette 1975 Mass. Junior Miss The 14 contestents then changed back stage, while the audience anxiously awaited the Poise and Appearance portion of the show. After each of the girls walked around the stage in her wide variety of gowns, they formed a line to await the judges decision. During the weeks of hard, long practices, the girls grew closer together and spent more time laughing. Inside jokes will always be remembered by most of the girls, and it will redden the faces of a few. Most of the girls will agree that the over all experience was worthwhile and gratifying. I don ' t think there is any¬ one that didn ' t enjoy it. Part of the success of the show was due to Kathleen Mills who did a comendable job with the lights. Debora Barrieau tells her sister of her plans for the evening. Later, she explained her ecstacy to Michelle. Lynn Plummer performs herfeats of ma¬ gic whil competing for the title of Franklin Junior Miss.

Other aspects include set- design, body movements, excer- cise and speech projection. Do you feel this course was worthwhile for you? Why or why not? Yes, because I want a career in theater and this course has taught me the fundamentals. Sandy Furkart I feel this course was worth¬ while because I was shy but this class taught me to show what I have to give to others.

The Fourth Annual Art Fes¬ tival was held this year. Many students particapated in the Art Festival. The main objec¬ tive of the festival was to give the public an idea of how to look at art; to see how stu¬ dents express themselves on paper with day and many other materials. Paticipating in the Art Fes¬ tival were the students from Portfolio. This is a class that was introduced to Franklin High this year. The program is designed for students, plan¬ ning on going to art school after graduating.

In its narrowest def¬ inition, the word refers to those people involved in organized athletics. However, as is true of many words, it can also have a much broader meaning. It is our intention that jocks should refer to all people who are knowm for their energy and enthusiasm in the pursuit of their jobs and or activities.

She says her most memorable experience is when she got hit on the leg with some¬ one ' s hockey stick. Nancy Guidrey, center half¬ back, says that by taking part in field hockey, I feel that I ' m really doing something worth¬ while and exciting with my time. I ' ve learned to set hopes high and strive to reach my goals. She feels that her most mem¬ orable experience is, outdoing a fantastic hockey club like Foxboro Cheri Dorr says of people who criticize field hockey as being too violent, If they don ' t like it, they don ' t have to play. She says that through teamwork she has learned to get along better with people, and when asked what was her most mem¬ orable experience, she replied, On my first scrimmage, I got two goals. Laura Giuliano, left wing, says, Playing field hockey brings you closer to individuals on your team so that you have to be able to co-operate and un¬ derstand others. It also gives you a sense of personal accom ¬ plishment and pride. Before a game, especially a big game, I ' m very nervous, but psyched. When asked how she felt after winning a game, she replied, After winning a game--l feeeel good! However, when asked how she felt about losing a game, her answer was, I wouldn ' t know. We haven ' t lost any yet. (By the way, we don ' t plan on losing, either.) Jenny Nicholson, goaltender, says of the field hockey team, The girls in front of me are try¬ ing to help me, not to make me feel ostracized. When asked how she would respond to someone criticizing field hockey as being too violent, she replied, In field hockey it is skill more than bull¬ dozing, and if the girls know any¬ thing about playing hockey, they won ' t be violent at all.

When Margaret Walters, fullback, was asked how she feels before a game, she said, I just go out there and do my best. She also said that even if the team loses a game she feels, O.K., if everyone was really trying, and the goals that were scored were good goals. Cindy Conaghan, center halfback, said that her most memorable experience in field hockey was, Beating Med- field 3-0 11 After winning a game, she feels, Like we should do it more . Miss Avitable, coach of field hockey, says that the reason she coaches is because, I like the sport and enjoy watching the girls improve. They get a lot of playing, and I can learn from them, too. She says, I enjoy all my players and hope they feel the same toward me. We work hard and learn from our mis¬ takes. (Hopefully!) cont. on p. 81 Pia Lodi, right halfback, says that by taking part in field hockey, I can now co¬ ordinate my mind with my body. She also says she feels phooty after Iosing a game. Susan Abbott, left wing, says of people who criticize field hockey as a violent sport, I think I can understand how they might feel, but it is not a violent sport. She says that after winning a game, she feels accomplished and ful¬ filled, ready to win again, but after losing she feels, De¬ pressed and defeated, yet determined to succeed in the next game. Robin Romaine, fullback, says that her most memorable experience in field hockey is bus-zoos. Before a game she feels a little nervous, Nancy DiBenedetto, with support from Amelia DeBaggis, stretches for the ball.

YEARBOOK AUCTION A Cheryl Simpson waits patiently for the next bid. The auction held this year for the yearbook featured many strange items; two gerbils were sold with a cage to hold them, and old phonograph cabinet went eary in the auction and flying lessons soon went up to the block. The strangest part, however, was when quite a few teachers were auctioned off. They provid¬ ed dinners , Celtic games, a day in Boston, and even a weekend vacation in New Hampshire. We beleive that everyone at the auction had an enjoyable day. The success of the second annual Yearbook Auction was due to the large number of bidders that came and went as the day pro¬ gressed. Supporters came from surrounding towns as far as Milford. Karen Johnson, Kathy Mills, and Cheryl Simpson recorded the sales of the day. Kathy is the Yearbook financial editor and Cheryl was one of the many Auction co-ordinators. 57 Mr. James Johnston (center) was auction¬ eer for the day. The Yearbook auction, held on November 23, 1975, was successful due to the efforts of many helpful people. Mr. James Johnston, auctioneer, insured the auction ' s success by volun¬ teering his services. Mrs. Hon- charuk donated a large number of the items sold in the auction, including an organ. There are also many unsung heroes who worked to make the auction a success. The auction, which began at 10 a.m., started out with a small crowd, but the buyers quickly grew. Soon the runners were hav¬ ing a busy time delivering items to buyers and collecting money. Themostdifficulttime intheauc¬ tion, however, came during the half-hour lunch break. The piz¬ zas were there, but there were no drinks! iimniiniihitnt On the whole, though, des¬ pite the mistakes, the auction was successful. Mrs. Irvine, who attended the auction, said, It was well organized and well attended. In the confines of the field house, the auction was a great success with the help of yearbook members.

She thinks that there are a lot of neat people who are really interested in science in the club. Mary Herrington became in¬ volved because, I enjoy science and I know the people.

AFTER SCHOOL JOBS Working at Hancock ' s Animal Hospital has been very interest¬ ing. I ' ve been there almost two years and I ' ve learned quite a bit, like what to do if a dog becomes constipated. My job consists of assisting the doctor in treating the animals, and filling out cards for the in¬ coming patients. When I first started, between the dogs barking and the smell of the hospital, I didn ' t think I ' d last a week, but I quickly became immuned. The only part of working there I really dislike is when I go to take a dog out of its cage and it piddles on my pants or when a cat gets its claw stuck in my neck! --Brian Jenest A A Friendly person, Karen Burns, works in a Friendly place.

It was good because we read, which not too many people do, so it helped us in that way. You learn about the way other people act and what they feel. One pupil thinks, I ' ve learned something for once in twelve years of school. Most of the students say that The field trips and video tapes made the course interest¬ ing. Several of Mr. Nerney ' s pupils think that the teacher was the best part of the course. The remark typified the attitude of the entire class. It wasn ' t a boring course. It was interesting. Many students claim that a sense of humor is an important attribute of a superior teacher. Almost the entire class thinks that being fair is important, and two members of Mr.Nerney ' s class say that an excellent tea¬ cher should have a beard. This positive attitude however, is not shared by all, since one person commented that a teacher should be absent a lot. Tom Corbett enjoys gaterball bacause it ' s a zoo. He thinks an excellent teacher should like kids. Doug White thinks, It was fun because it ' s a zoo. Jeff Grin ley says, I had a lot of fun. It ' s a break from regu¬ lar work. Jim Shea does not like gater ball because, It ' s boring. How¬ ever, he says he enjoys watching everybody having fun. He thinks that the best teacher is one who enjoys what he ' s doing. Robert Rony thinks he did a lot of interesting things, and I enjoyed them all. He says that a good teacher is one who is not too strict.

If we accomplish this, there is no doubt for whom wehave labored. --Ms. Bennett Teaching is hard work, but stimulating and rewarding when one sees or hears students exclaim, ' Oh, now I understand! 1 --Ms. Markee iFlorence Markee, dept, head, teaches I Cake Decorating, Clothing I, among other classes. A Teaching is a highly chal¬ lenging vocation. You must be interested in sharing your know¬ ledge, and stimulatingpotential. --Ms. Droll In order for learning to be successful there must be 2-way cooperation and effort between students and teachers. —Mrs. Berglund For any learning to take place, it is imperative for the student to want to learn. --Ms. Bai ley Shirley Bennett teaches Foods 1, Tailoring, and Advanced Clothing.

Brian Jenest shows Vanessa Daley how to use a ladder diagram—a vital tool to the staff. Running around Franklin High there are approximately 55 fan¬ tastic, hard-working students who comprise the 1975 Year¬ book Staff. The staff meets daily after school and sometimes the light in B-206 shines until 6 P.M. Each member of the staff has as¬ signed jobs. As a team the staff works very hard to meet publish¬ er ' s deadl ines. It ' s a lot of hard work, but we all have a good time. One major contribution to the 75 staff ' s success was the 2nd Annual Yearbook Auction held early in the year. Approxi¬ mately $1,400 was raised. The 75 Yearbook Staff is just one big happy family. We have stuck together through the hard times, and partied together through the easy times. Mid year additions to the photography staff include Teresa Barrieau, Tim O ' Hara and Andy Hanson. Thank you also to any¬ one who contributed to the com¬ pletion of this book after the submission of this page. Good luck to all future staffs. Yearbook staff members are always in¬ tellectual and dedicated people. To Whom It May Concern: I have gone off and killed myse If!

Goverment and Western Society are the topics of Peter Frailey ' s classes. y fi r i k How would you respond to the following? ... the people are the most important element in a nation ... Man ' s potential for physical, mental, and spiritual energy makes Harold Williams teaches Contem¬ porary Issues and US History in the course of his day. him a nation ' s most important re¬ source. The challenge that a na¬ tion must meet is realizing and developing this resource. --Mr. Frailey A Through the course of the year, David Mulcahy keeps himself busy as Dept. Head and teaching Socio¬ logy, American Political Behavior, and Contemporary Issues. Frances Peters keeps herself busy teaching U.S. History, Behavior Sciences, Humanities, American Political Behaviors, and Govern¬ ment. Without the people, you have no nation because a nation is a group of people with a common language, culture, and government. —Mr. Crowley A U.S. History, Behavior Sciences, and Geo¬ graphy are the topics of James Johnston ' s day. A Mr. Lucini teaches U.S. History and sits in the Library a lot. The people are the nation. — Mr. Chelotti I agree. — Mr. Luccini I feel this class isworth- while because you study things that are happening in the world today. How they affect you and what is being done to try to correct the problems. —Joe Simms In most courses you will learn about different things from the past. This course keeps you aware of events that are happening around you in Gov¬ ernment and other issues of importance . —John Genoa What did you feel was good about the course? The newsmakers article in Newsweek magazine. — Paula Flynn It was fun —Bill Summers The best thing about this course was reading Newsweek every week. —Joan Wallace Pia Lodi, senior, joins some of her class¬ mates in writing and checking an assign¬ ment before submitting it to the teacher. CONTEMPORARY ISSUES A James Chelotti is busy throughout the day teaching Psychology and Geography. 76 LIBRARY Mr. Peters smiles beneath his pile of Library paper work. Popularity of the comfortable chairs can be seen here. The Franklin High Library has many materials for student use. They have cassette players with a large collection of cas¬ sette tapes, a large collection of reference books (most ofwhich can be borrowed overnight), and current magazines and microfilm . The library recently purchas¬ ed a collection of silent movies such as Charly Chaplain and Laurel and Hardy. They have 16 to 18 students working be¬ hind the desk each day. There are also two aides, Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Greenwood. These people help Mr.Peters, the li¬ brarian in assisting students with school projects. Mr. Peters is very upset about student abuse to the li¬ brary. He says many books are stolen each year and he says, There is no reason for this, as there are no fines for overnight books. 11 Mr. Lucini keeps a watchful eye for li- brary violators. Student listens to his lessons taped on a re corder in I ibrary. I LIBRARY Several reasons for being thrown out of the library are talking to Nobbles too loudly 1 and, eating Good and Plenty. According to Sue Plummer, Rick Keras says he has been thrown out for, Bothering the teacher, and, Too many at a table. John Genoa says Coming in after the bell. He also has been thrown out for, Helping some¬ one with homework. Everyone I spoke with said, Because Mrs. Gebow is there. Mrs . Rog- ier says she has few problems with the kids in the library. S. Arruda, D. Jeon, R. Heinzman and l l. Guidrey take advantage of the facilities. A Tape recorders and ear phones are a valuble asset to learning. Here Vinny Profenna demonstrates. A Unidentified student uses the microfilm machines in the library. GRAPHICS OF LANGUAGE Students from Ms. Maguire ' s first period Graphics class help out doing layouts. Students, Jennifer Alger and Katrina Jaros, from the Graphics class work steadily in helpingout yearbook staff meet itsdeadlines. Brian Jenest agonizes over where to start his first photo on his layout sheet. Beth Craig, Sharon McCue, Denise DeGrazia and Brian Jenest look through yearbooks done by Franklin high in past years. Debby Barrieau says that she feels the Graphics of Language course is worthwhile, Because it gives us time to work on the yearbook, and all the kids are really getting together and help¬ ing, and we all have a good time, too. She feels that the co¬ operation of all the kids and rel¬ ative freedom of expression is the best feature of the course, and says that the ability to make the kids want to do the work makes a superior teacher. If the kids can teach themselves to do something after the teach¬ er has explained it, and when they make mistakes, a fellow student can help them out. That ' s a good teacher. Dave Henault feels that the best feature of the course is, learning how magazines and other types of books are made. You feel proud of yourself when you finish a page that you de¬ signed and laid out yourself. Cheryl Simpson feels that a superior teacher, understands the students, has patience, and can be sympathetic. She says that through Graphics of Lan¬ guage, I ' ve learned a lot about publishing and what it entails. Tracee Vozzella learned how to do layouts and exactly NEWSPAPER Senior Journalists, Editor Rich Pez zulo and Bob Padula discuss Mew Dawn copy. The Journalism Advisor is Ms, Vosburgh.

Ginny Walsh, center for¬ ward, says she feels, Nervous¬ ness if against tough competi¬ tion before a game. If she wins she feels, That we ' ve worked hard as a team--GL0RYZ00- FANTASTIC.: Stella Frascotti, wing, says that her most memorable experi¬ ence is, When I found out I made the team. If she loses, she feels, That there was some¬ thing more I should have done to help us win. Lynda Krueger, right full¬ back, says that in field hockey, I ' ve learned to control my tem¬ per greatly. Alter she wins a game she feels, Psyched for the next one. Kathy House, right inner, says that her thoughts before a game are, Kill to an extent, but more, to do a good job than literally kill the other team play¬ ers. Her most memorable ex¬ perience in field hockey is, Stella. Sharon Guiliano, center half¬ back and co-captain of the team, says of field hockey, We all make mistakes, and if we stick together, we can make it. Debby Edelstein, left inner, says that after winning a game she feels, Really good and hap¬ py that I did the right things right. Judi Woo, left inner, says that taking part in field hockey, Let ' s me meet new people from all around. It also made my mouth bigger and louder. Her most memorable experience is, The day I soaked Cindy Conaghan with the water jug. When asked, How would you respond to some¬ one criticizing field hockey as being too violent a sport? Judi ' s retort was, Aw, shut up! Why don ' t you interview the football team ? Margaret Sheehan, half¬ back, when asked, How did taking part in field hockey im¬ prove you as a person? replied, I giggle more! Her most mem¬ orable experience is, When 1 got hit on the forehead by Mary Howard ' s scoopball. Amelia DeBaggis, left half¬ back, says her most memorable experience is, When I got kill¬ ed in a winning locker room brawl! When asked how she feels after winning a game, Ame¬ lia replied, I feel like kissing everyone in sight, and vandaliz¬ ing the bus or locker room. Cheryl McGlynn, halfback, says of field hockey, I don ' t play to kill, or to win. I just play the best I can, and if we win, that ' s great. Svrs ?eN 5 i Sitting (L-R): G. Roberts, R. Tassine, P.

A 85 m BRUINS BEWARE Barraclough collects a pass from Mar- chand and Hart and then takes a blister¬ ing slap shot at the Holliston goal tender. Dave Thompson, goalie, says hockey makes me feel important knowing that I am good enough to be on the team. I feel responsible for my actions, knowing that I am representing the school. Some¬ times it makes me feel better than others, because I ' m on the team and they ' re not; I don ' t like that feeling of being a big shot, be¬ cause it can cost you your friend¬ ship with others. I ' ve learned that no one person makes a team. If you feel otherwise you upset the balance of the team . He says that his most memorable exper¬ ience would have to be the sup¬ port of the home crowds. Every time we scored the crowd would roar. He feels that in hockey no one goes out with the thought of losing. If you do you shouldn ' t be on any team. If I lose I feel depressed because I let the coach down and also my fans.

Awakening and satisfying youthful curiousity is certainly a part, but it is not the whole art of teaching . A teacher is not a complete functioning unit unless he or she can cause such phenomena as emotional, men¬ tal, and social development- motivation; pride; and a sense of achievement. —Mr. Parmenter Not every subject is satis- A Elizabeth Smith teaches Introduction to chemistry. Current Science, and Chemistry. Peter DiMarco teaches Biology. William Fiske teaches Photography, Biology, and Introduction to Chemistry. A Mary E. Carlson teaches Biology and BSCS. Arthur Post teaches Biology and Ecology. V We must not only awaken the mind but provide the tools , with which the student can fol- | low a lifetime of learning . — i Mrs. Smith However, lest we discover I we have opened a Pandora 1 s box, [ we must not be so presumptuous | as to think there is an easy course to satisfy it. --Dr. Sayer While this is certainly im¬ portant, it also seems necessary ; to teach students how to teach j themselves. T his would require showing students the language and methods in a discipline. It would also seem appropriate to engage students in activities I and experiences that give evi- I dence for the facts that make up the volumes of knowledge we ' ve acquired so students can make rational judgements on novel problems. I don ' t buy this, or any other simplification of so complex an activity as teach¬ ing. —Mr. Fiske Learning anything worth¬ while is, to a great extent, dif¬ ficult and requires effort.

Kati Huntington said of the Latin Club, I am in Latin, so I thought it would be worthwhile 1 to join the club. This club is one of the smallest in the school, but I it seems to be one of the most active. Every year some of the members attend the national con¬ vention, which is a really great experience. A Selling jewelry was one of the club ' s fund raising projects. After a hard day of school, Brian Jenest, Richard Nordlund, and Ms. Irvine seem to find it difficult to be enthusiastic. V Under the leadership of Mrs. Eleanor Kenney, club advisor, and Amelia DeBaggis, Presi¬ dent, the club joined a catapult contest with many of the other Latin clubs in the state. They plan to give a scholarship this year and several of the members hope to attend the National Con¬ vention—con ' t on page 165 113 GREENHOUSE FRESHMAN: GARDENING We did many things in this course that I thought were good, but the Green House was a lot better, mainly because we all got to do our own thing. —Ann Marie RiciIlo I learned things I never knew about some plant that I might need to know in the future. — Cheryl Walker Well ... I thout it was worthwhile singing in the green¬ house. (Singing to our plants.) With Karen Beth Sandy.-- Donna Fontaine A teacher should be well informed about the class she or he is teaching.

THE BEDPAN BRIGADE Did you ever wonder why there were six or seven girls running around the school wearing pink uni- forms and white shoes? Well, the reason was they were enrolled in a new health course offered for the first time this year. It was offi¬ cially entitled, The Health Ser¬ vices Assistance Program; and un¬ officially, thanks to Mr. Parmen- ter, The Bed-pan Brigade. The class was taught by Mrs. B. Nowacki and was basically about becoming a nurse ' s aide. The class met two periods a day at Milford Hospital where their classroom education was backed up by clinical experince. Ac¬ cording to the girls who took this course, this set-up was very successful. This program was funded by State Department Occupational Education, and was provided with a blue van for transportation to and from the hospital. Partici¬ pating in this program were: Gayle Moran, Cheryl Trask, Marie Forte,Lori Pinkham, Brenda Hunt- ley, Linda Kutil, and Karen Stoughton. A C. Trask, L. Pinkham, B. Huntley, K. Stoughton, G.

Composition for the College- bound is designed to improve writing skills (especially the skills needed for success in college), prepare for the college board examinations, and learn the technique of the research paper. Mr. Lumente ' s a good coun¬ sellor because he listens to our problems and doesn ' t yell. He lets the kids express their point of view, and gives his own point of view. If there are pro¬ blems at home, Mr. Lumente often visits the home and then he is able to give us all the points of view.He helps us to see when we are wrong. It ' s not easy to admit your wrong. — Laurie St. John I chose my job because I love to help people. I ' m a sensi¬ tive and understanding person and feel that every person should COMPOSITION FOR THE COLLEGE BOUND ANTHONY C. LUMENTE, ADJUSTMENT COUNSELOR have a dece nt chance in life. I love my work. It brings me a personal satisfaction to see peo¬ ple deal better with their lives. I like the kids because they ' re people and I enjoy talking to them. I think that they feel com¬ fortable talking to me. I ' m very interested in them and I want to help them solve their problems or just be their friends. The most important thing is to understand their point of view and their val¬ ues. They usually listen to me and accept my point of view. The times that they don ' t is when they can ' t accept what I ' m saying strongly enough to do what I ' m saying in a certain situation . --Mr. Anthony Lumente PROFESSIONAL PATRONS Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert 0.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY 1776 AND ALL THAT A Mr. Johnston is caught with angels, B. Craig and M. Freniere. The President and Mrs. Ford who were played by G. Cummings and D. McNally stop to be photographed before making an appearance. y This year ' s Senior play was 1776 And All That . The play was a major success due to the surprising amount of talent in this year ' s Senior class. An¬ other contributing factor was the excellent directing jobs by Mr. James Johnston and Mr. James Chelotti. 0 B. Bilotta, A. Gorden, Mr. Chelotti and B. Craig are posing backstage.

Prominent people from 1776 heard about it and came from heaven to crash it. This govermental spoof was written by Leonard Wibberly. Like any other production, it wouldn ' t have been possible without a good stagecrew which included: K. Mills, G. Streeter, G. Roberts, B, Jenest, K. Mart¬ in, L. Plummer, J. Ramsey, M. Churchill, B. Brunelli, C.Liot- ta, and M . Arcaro. The costumes were made by Mrs. Donald Roberts, Kathy Mills and Carmel Walters who all did an excellent job. R. Guiliano, L. Plummer, P. Flynn, M. Arcaro and C. Walters listen to Mr. Johnson lecture. A Some of the members of the cast posed before the performance. Martha Washington was portrayed by R. L. Mercer. 141 THIS IS OUR MUSIC CLASS... ■ 9 , (i a Perfect silence, a rare moment in the music room. Various students watch as Dave Heanult and Jack DiCecco display their talents. Franklin High School has a number of accomplished musi¬ cians. The music class has pro¬ vided some of these people a special occasion to display their talents. A friendly drumming duel be¬ tween Dave Henault and Jack DiCecco added variety to the class and gave the class addi¬ tional knowledge of this per¬ cussion instrument. Jack is with the band Blood¬ stone and Dave plays drums for the band known professionally as Mt. Zion (see ad pg . 3). Jack DiCecco, watched by his music teacher, Mr.Mahan. 142 Mr. John Mahan is a music teacher in the music department. All things shall perish from under the sky . Music a lone sha II live—never to die To comment one must first decide if music is an entity that uses life (things) as the vehicle for its expression; or if life (things) creates music as a vehicle for its expression. In the first case the quote would have validity; in the second it would not. — Mr. Balest Much of the music that I enjoy has died and been reborn. Even music eventually perishes but if it is of any great value it usually has a long life. --Mr. Mahan ...AND THESE ARE OUR TEACHERS. Mr. Richard Balest is the director of the music department. The choral director for the music depart¬ ment is Mr. Arthur Sacco. 14J A.V. COURSE A course was offered this year in the area of audio-visual equipment.

However, the movies designed for the course were infantile. John Ristaino did not like the course because now I feel that I can hold a conversation on the political or economic systems of a society with any moron.

It was too early for any real excite¬ ment but the breakfast was enjoy¬ ed by all those who came. The Aroma of fresh coffee, sweet pancakes, and frying bacon was enough to stimulate anyone ' s appetite. We all had a leisure breakfast and quite a fi I ling one at that. Jean Curran, Diane Calderone, and Liz Beane display the enthusiasm that is vi¬ tal to the Pep Club. A Claire Rondeau and Chris Cataldo are among the members who attend all games and help the club raise funds. This year ' s project was selling memory boards.

PEP CLUB 1S9 The crowd moves in rhythm with the band at the pep rally. ‘and the crowd cheered on, 1 Beatem Panthers! 160 Being a senior and a member of the Pep Club for four years I found my¬ self becoming more involved in the school; and not just with sports. Miss Carlson has really contributed quite a bit of time and effort as our advisor to the club. A big annual event of ours is the Homecoming, The crowd cheers with excitment as they watch a funny skit. Patty Sullivan, Co-captain and Vanessa Daley, Panther for the FHS cheerleaders, anxiousl y awaits the results of a play. the last home game before Thanksgiving where the alumni return.

This allowed stu¬ dents, once a week to utilize the field- house facilities. Vollyball, Gatterball, Basketball, Street-hocky, Weight-lifting and track were some of the activities that were most frequently participated in. As this team of boys await some opponents, they plan their defense. As in any activity held by the school, there were people who attended regularly. Some felt the large area and variety of sports was what interested them. Others enjoyed the freedom to organize games for themselves. The evening went over so well every week that it wasn ' t uncommon to find yourself waiting to take part in a game. That was a great shot, sure hope it A goes in. ' ' 161 BASEBALL A Dave Boisture, a Franklin High School infielder, prepares for the pitch. Paul Padula, a junior, takes part in the practice session. 1st Row (L-R): M. Giardino, S.

Jack Fraser says, Cham¬ pion baseball teams have become a tradition at Franklin High. Be¬ ing part of the varsity baseball team has been an experience it¬ self. An opposing team considers its season victorious if they beat Franklin. This indicates what a great success the Franklin High School baseba 11 team has become. 11 Dorn Gervasi says, My true ambition in life has always been to play 1 trip le-A-ba 11 1 . 162 I wonder if you can really teach anyone anything. It is more to the point to create a positive atmosphere in which a person is encouraged to learn through exposure to a wide range of people and opinions. If humanity is ever to be truly civ¬ ilized, people are going to have to respect and accept individuality. We cannot con¬ tinue to squeeze everyone into the same mold nor can we continue to force people to our own way of thinking. We will be¬ come masters of our own fate when we can accept the premise that we are ' free to be you and me. 1 As I see it, literature and the arts afford us the greatest upportunity to meet people and ideas. Literature can help us to establish our values and refine them through the experiences of others. 11 — Ms. Maguire You can ' t TEACH them this. You can only teach each person as an individ¬ ual, recognize and accept differences, and to inspire each person to reach out for more of the world. —Ms. Ligon The key to individuality lies in man ' s value system. By classifying these values, one man may become his true self. — Mr. Buckley In order for a student or any person to realize freedom she must first become aware of her own value. Adults can en¬ courage such an awareness by demon¬ strating an openness to responsive living. Unfortunately there are few adult models around as responsive living is in direct opposition to the patterned, non-free but safe existence most of us follow in our own flights for freedom —de Laub. For each person to be happy and to behave in a civilize.pl manner, I think the person must believe that he or she is important and that someone honestly cares about the person. In my teaching, I try to express my genuine concern for each student as a special individual with unique talents and interests. Hopefully, in this way, each student will gain greater confidence in his or her abilities and realize his or her self-im¬ portance. I, also, try to make my classes inter¬ esting and enjoyable. If a person enjoys what he or she is doing, learning becomes a natural and equally enjoyable out¬ come. --Ms. Hepburn (Language Club cont. from pg. 113) of the Junior Classical League, The club will also be active in the Foreign Lan¬ guage Festival. Frank Mauro joined because he was interested in Latin. He says he learned to get along well with others and met some new people. Laura Anderson was interested in joining an active club that would help others and that she would en¬ joy and be active in. Ray Johnson became a member be¬ cause he was interested in Roman history. He says he gained a better understanding of the Roman way of life.— Balinda 164 It may sound corny but it ' s true; high school is an experience that will stay with us alI our lives. Years from now when you thumb through your yearbook, you will reflect on many memories of your high school days, just as millions of Americans do today. Everywhere you turn you are hit by the rage of nostalgia that overtakes people with fond memories of their past. Every decade has its own nostalgic memories that are associated with it years later. The current rage is, of course, the 50 ' s. Most of us have seen American Graffiti and Happy Days, listened to old¬ ies featured on radio stations, and seen 50 ' s stars, such as James Dean, immortal¬ ized in their death. This period of nostalgia can ' t help but make one think ahead. It ' s a possible revival of our high school years. When you listen to your oldies station at about the turn of the century, you will be reminded of your high school years while listening to such late, great stars of the past as Elton John, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, etc. You will look back in disbelief at the styles of hair and clothing; and stars that you may have taken for granted in the 70 ' s will become legendary. Yes, just as in the 50 ' s revival, you will be reminded of how sweet it was in the 70 ' s. But just as you may be thinking, it isn ' t so sweet. Our government has been torn apart by scandal in which a president and vice president were forced to resign. We are in a state of recession and near depression. Meat, gas, and sugar prices have all taken their turn of jumping out of sight; the negative aspects of the time may create a list a mile long . . . but the 50 ' s weren ' t exactly all malt shops and greasy combs. Nostalgia fails to recall memories of the Korean and Vietnamese wars, how communism had threatened to tear the government apart, and other facts that may make that era a little less than it is currently cracked up to be. If you think of the possibility of a nostalgic revival of our era as far reach¬ ing and impractible, so would a teen¬ ager had he been asked the same question in 1955! But I may be wrong, although I don ' t think so. I think around the turn of the century people will be able to wear a sytlish set of today ' s clothes to a costume party! . . .

Padula (Industrial Arts cont. from pg. 61) Comment on the following: These unhappy times call for the buiIding of plans . . . that build from the bottom up and not from the top down. These are unhappy times because Mediocrity reigns supreme. Plan a sub¬ stantial foundation and build well upon it. —Mr. Mol la Who said these times are unhappy! Happiness is a value judgement only. What makes me happy may not neces¬ sarily make another happy. Plans hardly ever come from the bottom but always from the top.

To be objective is a very difficult thing in today ' s society because most of the American way is one-sided. Sharing our class with our students is what we hope will happen, sometimes they are unable to handle this. They at least get the chance. Teaching is not merely a give situation. It should be a give and take relationship.

The first activity for us was the Senior Class Christmas Par¬ ty followed by the Holly Ball which were both successful. It was also the first time in three years a Senior Class has put on a play . The cast was com¬ posed of all Seniors with the exception of one person. The play 1776 and all that was on the Bicentennial theme and was very well received by an expectant audience. 7 (T ) J y 1 1 (Er J JJ v_ JJ J y SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Bill Burke, President A Leslie Archer, Vice Pres.

We also had the usual acti¬ vities such as the Senior Class Dance and the Oskey which was a great show with many Seniors participating. Although many more things maybe should have been done, we feel this our senior year, was the best of our high school years. —Burkey TENNIS Rick Carnes slams ball over net back to opponent using the back hand.

Senior Steve Abbot and jun- 1975 could very well be the year that the Panthers bring home their first league tennis cham¬ pionship. With a combined record of 26-4 for the past two sea¬ sons, we hope to continue our winning ways. At midseason we are now in a tie for second place, losing two close matches to Mansfield and Sharon, ourtough- est opponents. We have a very balanced team with depth at every pos¬ ition. One of the reasons for Franklin ' s tennis success is due to the superb coaching of Al Sutherland. He is now in his second year as coach after successful coaching at Xaverian High. At first singles is return¬ ing letterman Mark Herbert. The second singles slot is filled by veteran, Rick Cairns. Herbert and Cairns are the two co¬ captains . At third singles is a very promising sophomore, Kurt Swan- beck, who thus far is unde- ior Steve Forbes completed the starting line up, at second dou¬ bles.

This included swimming, volleyball, baseball, and a course in how to cook your own hamburgers on the grill. As our school year started in September, we held a very prof¬ itable flea market. Then there was the Halloween Dance Party which was a lot of fun because both neither kids or teachers were afraid to dress-up.

It ' s non-contact and, like other sports, there ' s a lot of emphasis on skill. There ' s a great amount of pressure put on one, or some¬ times two, people because you either win all by yourself or lose all by yourself; and it ' s no one ' s fault, either way, but yours. It ' s an all out thing. Or, as the coach says, You give 100 percent of your best and winning or losing doesn ' t mat¬ ter. I play because, not only is it fun, but it ' s a challenge, which brings rough times as well as good ones. I ' ve been on many sports, and I ' ve found that out of all of them, the tennis team, especial¬ ly this year ' s team, has been the closest knit ever.

Maybe No. 1 isn ' t our place this year as far as points go, but to talk about potential, ded¬ ication, courtesy, sportsman¬ ship, and effort, Franklin rises above them all.

Some of the social activities the Student Council put together this year was the Summer Dance, Film Festival, and we are current¬ ly working on a Concert.

The case of Inez Garcia verses Cal¬ ifornia was brought to life in a true court atmosphere by Ms. Maguire ' s Contemporary Viewpoints classes. It was so real that one couldn ' t help, but to get involved. Some of the participants viewed the trial as follows: I was a researcher on the prosecuting side. We dealt with an aggressive defense and learned the basic functions of all involved. — Kathy O ' Brien As an assistant attorney I learned the work behind a case and the difficulties encountered in a courtroom situation. —Sue Gannon The trial is at its height as Bret keeps shooting questions (From left to right are Lisa Gerimini, Dyan McNally, Bret Simon, and Dona Bissonette.) Walter Nelson and Debbie Simon who were part of the jury listen intently. This trial was like a dream come true for me. I considered law as a career and now I really know what its like. This is, I know, what being a lawyer entails. I think one reason why both trials went the way they did was because of the types of people on the jury. We ' re all young and have basically liberal ideas. In our case, in particular, the jury, or women in the jury, believed in women ' s lib. and because of exposure to the crime of rape, they knew what it was about. You couldn ' t exactly call these jurors a cross section of the community. —Rebecca Williams I really got to realize some of the problems that (cont. on page 240) Judge tom Poirier listens with interest to Lt.

The yearbook staff wishes to apologize to the members of the Ski Team and Coach Hend¬ erson. The yearbook photographer was assigned to cover the team ' s races but he failed to meet his obligations. In view of the team ' s outstanding performance this year, we are particularly sorry for this oversight. The first (and one-and-only) cross country meet proved to be quite an experience considering no one knew how to cross coun¬ try. The course consisted of 4.7 kilometers of unbearable hills. Unfortunately none of the Franklin girls were able to beat the Norwegian exchange student who skied for Walpole. This years ' Ski Team ex¬ perienced the best season of their four year history. They had an impressive place in their opening meet, with Chuck Mc¬ Stay placing first in the boys division. All ski meets were situated at Prospect Hill, in Waltham. As the season rolled on, the team gained a great deal of ex¬ perience through their cross¬ country and alpine races. Five of the teams skiers trav¬ eled to Austria, skiing to an im¬ pressive victory over such coun¬ tries as Austria, Switzerland, Sweden, France, and England. Following with gold medals scores were Chuck McStay, Steve La- Rosa, MaryBeth Clifford, Ken Martin, and Cyndi Gaultiz, by the chairman of the International Skiers Assoc. Robin Romaine of the ski team who claimed that her position on the team is General Mad Dog, says that her most mem¬ orable experience is, Not getting disqualified. She feels that skiing is kind of violent—when you ' re yelling at those Wellesley kids. She says that before start¬ ing she often thinks, What am I doing up here? Ken Martin says that his most memorable experience is, Having to run a course three times, due to unofficial timing. He says I am very tense before I leave the starting gate, but after that the course seems to follow my skis. 194 ON THE r ' i i ' i T I i V 4 : — i i !

I wish I could accept Ronnie as gone For he was one I was really fond I have a funny feeling inside That I really can ' t hide For I lost a friend today But I will never forget what he would say; When I die I want to see Everyone party just for me. The reason there are tears in my eyes For now I ' ve come to realize That Ronnie ' s gone from our lives My very best friend—Ronnie. — Jeff Vendetti Iused to party with Ronnie all thetime — never being bored. One time we were over a friend ' s house watching cartoons. We were laughing and he couldn ' t stop and then I started. At the end of the car¬ toon two boats are racing while some ig¬ norant narrator was calling the race. Then the winning boat stuck up a J. Durante face and said Ah-cha-cha-cha . We couldn ' t stop laughing. After that Bacon always said that whenever he saw me. — Nelmsy I remember Ronnie, the one who always made you smile when you were down. He made everyone happy because he was never down, never a care in the world. I was as good friends with him just as any guy. Like he always told me, Your just one of the boys. —Moe I remember Ronnie on my birthday. We had a decent party up at Wayne ' s house in Woonsocket. At midnight, Ronnie had everyone beat the 18 years out of me. But that was just one of many memories I have of him. The one memory of Ronnie I re¬ member most is that he was a warm and sincere person. —Paula (Beef) I remember when Ronnie used to call me Brutal and other good names. It used to get me really pissed , but then I would get back at him by thinking up better names. Mo matter what he called me I always had to laugh. He was a good friend, and he always made me laugh. — Gayrolle One thing I remember about Ronnie is the Allman Brothers Concert. All us guys had a real good time. Ronnie always had these weird nick names for me, Lila, Little Mac, Kurgrer Burgers. I can remember going down Campys seeing Ronnie there roudy as usual. He was always in a fan¬ tastic mood and I ' ll never forget him. — Kurger Burger He always wanted to help everyone; he ' d do anything for anyone. Ronnie and I had a lot of other things that we did to¬ gether but it would take a book before I got it all down. He liked everyone and everyone liked him because he was a happy go lucky person. He never worried about anything. I never saw him without a smile. Thats how I remember Bacon. —Moon The one thine about Ronnie thatstands out in my mind is his fantastic rendition of the Raisin Bran commercial in OSKEY ' 73. I remember at the cast party at Cindy ' s all of a sudden someone would start singing ' It ' s raisins, it ' s raisins, it ' s raisins . . . ' and Ronnie would pop up and lead the song. ' More raisins than you have ever seen be¬ fore, if you like raisins, plump juicy rai¬ sins, you ' ll like Post Raisin Bran more. ' We sang that song at least a hundred times. Ronnie really got into it everytime! —A member of OSKEY ' 73 cast The one thing I remember most about Ronnie is how he was always in a good mood, and never wanted to just sit around. He loved to run around the streets and sing ' trippin in the U.S.A. ' at the top of his lungs. Or else cook bacon and eggs late at night over a friends when we all had the munchies. But the one thing that stands out in my mind is how he gave me the courage to jump off one of the cliffs at the Milford Quarries. I had said before that I could do it (never planning on it really). But Ronnie held me to my work. First I hesitated for about 10 minutes but finally after being called a puff for all that time, I decided now or never. So I jumped straight in like an arrow! If it wasn ' t for Ronnie I never would have tried it! —Darlene 195 Patty Daley; Gary Bolduc; Joe Symmes; Bob Brown; Jack DiCecco; Marc Elliot; Rich Pezzuolo; Rene Perron.

I played many positions, but I enjoyed half-back the most, I think, be¬ cause it gave me the freedom to play both offense and defense. Al Lemire: I enjoyed soccer because of the competition involved, we had a great team . Taking part in this sport hel ped me understand other people. My most memorable experience was the play-offs with IMeedam High School. Being an in¬ dividual performing with a team influenced my attitude by making me follow other people ' s ways. After winning a game I feel that I accomplished something. Jeff Elliot: My most memorable ex¬ perience was the state play-offs in Boston. Being an individual playing with a team helped me respect others for what they are, and it helps me in co-operating with others. I play soccer to have fun, and to do the best I can. Scott Courtney: Playing soccer helps you work with other people. Playing in the semi-finals of the Eastern Mass. Tourna¬ ment, under the lights at B.C.

Astronomy and Space is a very inter¬ esting and informative course. It is taught by Mr. Charles Vaillancourt, who has man¬ aged to make an uninteresting subject in¬ teresting. He kept his class alive and with it for the whole term. Students in this class state that they learned alot in it and they were very glad they took it. This class proved to be worth¬ while and exciting. This course delt with the vastness of the universe and the placement of the stars, planets, galaxies, etc. Also it delt with the movement of everything through the uni¬ verse. It was a very rewarding course. Mr. Vaillancourt, himself, giving a note¬ taking session. ASTRONOMY Karen Kosmenco discussing with other classmates some aspects of an experiment. A student hard at work in Mr. Chase ' s AC DC class. k Con ' t from page 83 Steve Carlucci says that his favorite memory of wrestling is going into the third period against Catholic Memorial. Paul Heim says that wres¬ tling provides me with a chance to test myself. Before a match he worries considerbaly about the outcome of my match and the responsibility I have. I think in terms of my opponents ' weak¬ nesses, and in terms of working my hardest. He says that after any match, whether he has lost or won, he feels tired and hungry. Richard Evans says thatafter winning a wrestling match he feels higher than the sky, but that after losing he feels like crawling into a closet. Bill Summers says a person has to be very dedicated and ma¬ ture to be a wrestler. Wrestling is the most physically demanding high school sport, and the phys¬ ical advantages to wrestling are incomparable. His most mem¬ orable experience is whenRon- ny Cook got pinned in less than twenty seconds. People have died laughing. Ms. Nowacki from the Health Ca¬ reers listens with a smile. SPECIAL INSTRUCTORS Mr. McCall looks up in his usual state of awareness. I believe that the best teach¬ er is experience. By providing people with the opportunities to experience the quoted conditions, civilization, and being one ' s self are realities in a world designed for just that purpose or purposes. People learn through example. I have always felt that I am mast¬ er of my fate and captain of my soul. I hope that people will lis¬ ten to me and learn by my ex¬ ample. I pray that what I say is of value and what I do, worth¬ while. Service to humanity is the best work of life. 11 Mr. Gormley 11 Perhaps of all that we have that we take for granted, our body is least appreciated. And yet, it is such a unique, intricate net¬ work. Nothing in the universe can match it ' s perfection and syn¬ chronism. No computer can ap¬ proximate the complexity of the human brain. It is the body which gives the human race a common¬ ality, but is that which is housed in the web of cells, tissues and organs makes each of us individ¬ ual, unlike any other. How mag¬ nificent and precious a gift we have. 11 Mrs. Nowacki Mr. Chauncey also teaches in the Special Needs Dept. Mr. Gormley checks a reading quiz and explaines the details. 207 HOMEBUILDING (CONTINUED) (cont. from p. 93) ' Bernie ' feels the course was worth while because we go a booggi party. Mit a Mowa showed us a lot. He says that the qualities of slap¬ ping, yelling, and horsing around made a superi or teacher. He thinks the parties we had up the moon were the best par¬ ties of the class. Michael Maycock says, You learn a lot in the course and we got to booggi. When asked what qualities made a superior teacher he replied, Lammer thought on somebody could take a joke. Bob Gosselin took the Home Building course because, It will help me get a job, I hope. Mart Walz likes the course because it is there. He feels that a good teacher is someone who knows what the construc¬ tion field is like. George Hoi 1 ingdale says, I learned a lot about the car¬ Bruce Martello is one of the stu¬ dents whose hard work has contrib¬ uted to the Building of the bathhouse. The building at Beaver Pond nears completion. pentry trade. He likes the course because it teaches the trade by actually participating in it, instead of just reading about it. He feels an excellent teacher should be able to get along with the students as peo¬ ple, not just as students. Steve Voneuw thinks, The home building course is b etter than all my other classes, be¬ cause I get out of school at ten of twelve. Mike Crowley says, This course has done a lot for me, because this is the kind ofthing I like to do. It teaches you all the basics. It teaches you about the building industry, as well as giving you side privi ledges. He believes that a good teacher should give you breaks now and then. Teachers should yell when they have to. But also fool around sometimes. 208 THE LOVEABLE ST. MARY’S FAIRIES In the school year of 1969 -1970, the local Catholic school closed down its Jr. High grades. The 8th grade was in¬ fested with strange new kids from this school. Everyone took an immediate dislike to these St. Marys ' Fairies because we were different. I guess we were all kind of shy back then. It was a whole new environment for us. For the first time since first grade we could chew gum in school, wear pants and take extra curi- cular activites. It was great. We soon learned how to handle these new freedons. After one year we were like everyone else in public school Junior High, Brats? We were as cool as everyone else! This page is a colage of our 6th grade class in St. Mary ' s. A lot of people are going to laugh when they see this and a lot more are going to cringe with embarrasement but—that ' s life. And now la¬ dies and gentlemen ... the St. Mary ' s Fairies! 40 17 29 41 Con ' t on P. 240 I HUNGER WALK On his way to the finishing point, this junior high student passes the cemetery Milford. This is a group of students making their way down Route 109 in Medway.

GRADUATION REHEARSAL V Debbie Wilson doesn ' t seem to share Steve Walsh ' s confidence in this gradu¬ ation thing. (cont. from page 79) what putting together any publication entails. She says that the ability to listen to the student as an individual makes a superior teacher. Denise DeGraziasays, We learned different things about the yearbook. Denise feels that good ideas and in¬ teresting teaching methods make a superb teacher. Ken Martin says, I acquired a better knowledge of what really goes into a yearbook. Ken feels, however, that he could have gained the same knowledge by attending yearbook meetings. Karen Stoughton feels that a su¬ perior teacher is, One who has crea¬ tivity and imagination. She selected Graphics of Language, because I am interested in helping the yearbook. David Conaghan says he was Ig¬ norant about how a book or magazine was printed until he entered Gra¬ phics of Language. He feels a superb teacher is, One who is able to turn a class, which is ordinary and possibly boring, into an interesting one. It would appear that Mr. Rose had the seniors ' undivided attention while he ex¬ plained the ceremony process. After getting the A ' s and B ' s seated, Mr. Quinlan and Mr. Rose only had to be concered with the C ' s through Lau- rianne Yurt. After getting into the correct alphabetical order, it took fifteen minutes to get the seniors in to the proper seats.

V Lori Potter displays the usual happiness of a recent graduate. Linda Spellman is congradulated by her father recieving her diploma. The class theme of we have only just begun, and the idea of individuality were stres¬ sed by the speakers during the graduation ceremonies. Mary Howard, Salutatorian, said, You are valuable, . . . Individuality is our most pre¬ cious possession; it is the tool with which we carve our identi¬ ty. How dull the world would be if it were only made of mil¬ lions of me or millions of you. This means that each and everyone of us is precious and important. The contributions we make by our individuality add much to our world. Know that you are you, that you ' re different, and that you are valuable. Be proud of yourself. There is strength in an individual, a confidence that makes him able to ignore all ridicule .Don ' t let others stifle your spirit. You are the most powerful force in your life. Julie Evans, Valedictorian, began her speech by quoting Henry David Thoreau, Only the day dawns to which we are awake. Continuing with this theme she refered tp the students ' memories of school. Memories wi II not fade with with age as quickly as math scores. It is quite plain now that the common denominator of all of these rememberances is centered on the people. Franklin High School may have provided the backdrop, but it is the students themselves that have not only made the memor¬ ies but have been the substance j of these memories . Looking back over the past, I and probably with an eye toward j the future, Julie stated, We have not only met the chal¬ lenge of high school, but we have conquered it totally as well.

Gordon Bartolomei, a junior, winds up ' for a fast ball. Bob Padula feels that, Every¬ one can easily look back at the fine record of this team and look up all the individual statistics; but how many can look back and really remember the crack of the bat, the pop of the baseball, the side jokes, and all the things that contributed to the personality of the team? I think everyone con¬ nected with this team, whether they turn professional or sell pea¬ nuts at the ballpark, would like to look back on this aspect of the team; rather than bury their nose in a book of statistics Jack Fraser, a senior, returns ball to the hitter during infield practice. Dave Buffone feels that, So far during my two years on varsity, I have been on two league cham¬ pionship teams, possibly three. The reason for this is that Coach Bonollo taught us to play as a team, instead of individuals. There was never a team that won a title, when playing as individ¬ uals. That is why Franklin High has always had successful base¬ ball teams. 227 Denise Rose leaves the field house with her proud mother after the graduation cere¬ mony with flower and diploma. A Mary Ann Dempsey, Jean Colt, and Jean Bourbeau seem to be at a loss for words after a long, solemn ceremony. 228 SENIOR BANQUET Dyan McNally, usually the life of a party, seems a little startled to see Tim O ' Hara with a camera.

OUR JUNIOR MISS A In front of a huge tree covered with Spanish Moss, these fifty 1975 Jr. Misses, pose for an official publicity shot. I am very thankful for those people, who worked so hard, to organize such a wonderful pag¬ eant. It is a time when we can put aside all the tragedies of the world (even though we must not forget and avoid the problem we are forced with). I have found in the pageant which I have been in, that friendship, love, and shar¬ ing, creates beautiful relation¬ ships where there is no hatred or jealousy. It was such a unique experi ence. I could not believe that we were being asked for our auto¬ graphs and our pictures taken. We were treated like royal celebrities. And food, so plentiful and the best! I just kept eating, knowing that after two weeks it ' s back to the ol ' diet. —Dona Bissonette A Dona poses with Stephanie Robinson, a 5th grade student at the Eight Mile Elementary School, who led the cheering section for Massachusettes.

It is the recogni¬ tion and understanding of these differ¬ ences that form an integral part of foreign language study. Mrs. Irvine feels that, People every¬ where have the same basic needs and wants, tempered by the situation in which a person finds himself. What does this have to do with anything? Mr. Vallee does not agree because, People of different communities are of different socio-economic make-up. Mr. Rice thinks, All people have basically the same needs, hopes, dreams, fears and concerns. However, differences of a minor nature often exist. Mrs. Kenney says that, “Everyone is a unique individual with his own special talents, strengths and weaknesses, whom A Kathleen Irvine teaches a variety of Span¬ ish classes including Spanish World and Spanish Civilization. A Robert Vallee has classes of first and sec¬ ond year French. Deborah Wilson has a variety of language classes including Contemporary French Literature. God created for some special purpose, the attainment of which should be his life- pursuit. Mrs. Ledoux holds that, People may on appearance differ, but there are basic human qualities that we all possess to some degree. Mr. Robinson replied, The same in what way? We all have heads and hearts, we all need food, shelter, love and a good laugh now and then, but people here are not the same as everywhere. Your state¬ ment implies the universality of man, but, as written, it excludes all possibility of variety in national and regional char¬ acteristics, frame of reference, point of view, and perspective, to say nothing of this perspective, to say nothing of those differences of individual personality that make each one of us unique. How unin¬ teresting it would be if, in fact, we were all the same as everywhere. A Warren Kemp, department head, teaches Spanish 1 and French 3.

Eleanor Kenney, in addition to having two English 2 classes, has Latin 1,2, and 3. 233 The slug cutters purpose is to cut slugs on which you put a line of type. SHATTER Dave Foley is setting lines of type in composing sticks. After the type is set you make a proof of it, make cor¬ rections, tie it up, and begin printing. The entrance of the Davidson Press is where the paper goes in to be printed. A The handpress is used for small jobs such as business cards of 500 copies or less. Mr. Ettenhoffer and Ed Berg are checking the copies for clarity and centerization. GRAPHIC ARTS A Planters created by high school students in ceramic classes were sold at the Art Expo ' 75. Works of art created by the elementary students, as this one, were exhibited at the Art Expo ' 75. A Franklinites crowded into the High School as the doors open at 7:00 p.m., to view the Art Expo ' 75. The above picture is a small section of one of the portfolios which was on ex¬ hibit at the Art Expo 75. 5 ■ Mq g ro ooo The Art Festival also included the work of the elementary students from A House. Mr. Evans. F.H.S. principal talks to several visitors to the exhibit. This sculpture of a soldier ' s head was one of the many projects done by a student in the art department. This exhibit of sculpture readily displays the wide range of talent. FOREIGN LANGUAGE FESTIVAL The foreing language festival also had dis¬ plays of the classid art forms. V 238 The display of French food or cuisine was a favorite display. This bull could set bull fighting back a few years. Epicurean delights were very much a part of the festival as evidenced by the Latin Club. A Stan Meubert appears to have adjusted thoroughly to the Roman life style. The Latin scholars can always be counted on for a touch of humor. Isn ' t that right— Raymond, Marge, and Rick? 11 • .( i j, One could find many things, including a wine cellar and these two Madmoiselles. French waiters offered the many guests an assortment of pastries. El Toro makes a grand entrance from the Spanish corner. Here we have reclining Romans resting in the Latin sector. V (cont. from page 190) women face when they do get raped and have to testify in front of a jury of strangers who really couldn ' t care less. I also got to appreciate some different aspects of law that I never knew before. All in all, I thought it was a pretty good experience that made me think a little, about pre¬ judices and people in general. — Laurie Klumpe Dear Folks, This is a farewell message to all you folks. It ' s been a long four years for us seniors but now that the end has co me, those 4 years don ' t seem so long. As editor, there are a lot of things I ' d like to say to you folks. Number one—thank you. And I mean that sincerely. Many, many people have helped a great deal in the publica¬ tion of this yearbook. Some people have written copy for us, others have taken pictures and given up hours of free time to help us. We ' ve had a lot of fun in our 4 years. We ' ve belonged to clubs, sports and cliques. They ' re all part of high school. But now what? Now that we ' re not in high school anymore?! Well I ' m not really sure either. But it ' s one of those inexorable things—un¬ tie those strings and go out on your own. Well, I guess that ' s about it ex¬ cept for one thing. Earlier in the year, I wrote a suicide note as a lit¬ tle joke on the yearbook staff. (I thought they ' d get upset) but in¬ stead, they took advantage of my good nature and submitted the note to the yearbook. As a result the note appears on the staff page in this book. Please disregard this note because it ' s not my fault it ' s in here. I guess people just don ' t have any respect for authority anymore. Well, that ' s about it. Thanks again. Good Luck and one more time for Bacon . . .
