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.

Pat Carney checks over the yearbook layout. (He doesn ' t quite know what to make of it.) M. 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!

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.
