Class History As a history is a compound of facts and interpretation, we probably flatter ourselves by calling this a history. However I shall endeavor to put together a few facts concerning the class of 54 and I sincerely hope they will be of pleasure to every member of this class. On August 27, 1930, there was seen for the first time wandering about the campus of Franklin High School a rather uncouth group of Freshmen. For the First few weeks these Freshmen seemed quite uncertain as to what they should do but after being initiated by the Seniors, they soon felt quite at home. Much fun was made of us until we at last learned that one must put away childish things upon entering the dignified student body of High School. As Sophomores we began to realize our importance! For some unknown reason we gained the reputation of being the worst class in school. They told us we were uncontrolable and many times a Sophomore's name was discussed at faculty meeting both pro and con tbut mostly con t Our Junior year rolled around and at last our class settled down for some real work. Our conduct was considered the best we had given. The main feature for the year was the famous Junior- Snnior banquet given on Feb. 14, 1933. We hope you won't think us conceited when we say this was one of the best Junior-Senior banquets that Franklin High has ever witnessed. It might be well to mention also at this time that the Junior Girl's Basket Ball team won the banner in the Class Tournament. As Seniors the goals we set were to publish a school paper and an annual. And to institute a real freshman week. These have added much attraction to dear old Franklin High and we hope that the next class well be equally as enthusiastic in con- tinuing theml And now: lay this brief summary an augury be, For the glorious destines 1n the future you see or every single member of this class or '54' Graduating from Franklin--the school we adore!
