RELIGION For the second year classes in re¬ ligion for the high school pupils of Franklin have been held by the clergy of the town. The instruction for the Catholic pupils is under the direction of Rev. George Gray, and the pupils of Protestant denominations are in¬ structed by Rev. Gordon C. Capen, Rev. Warren G. Hunt, Rev. Trueman J. Menadue, and Rev. Holger N. Schluntz. The classes are held on Tuesday morning of each week from 10:20 to 1 1:20, at which time the Catholic and Protestant students g o to their respec¬ tive churches. The purpose of this religious teach¬ ing is for the development of the stu¬ dents morally as well as intellectually. That this program is a success is attested to by the apt response of the pupils to the instruction given them. Rev. George Gray The members of the clergy are to be congratulated on the fine interest rhey have displayed in this year ' s achievement. We want to extend our best vishes for the continuing success of this program. For it is now, more than ever, that we need the spiritual guidance necessary to aid us in the struggle to preserve that which our relatives are trying to secure for all time. That thing is peace.

THE OSKEY FRANKLIN HIGH SCHOOL MRS. WIGHT Art To our art teacher wb owe our thanks for decorating the gym at our Junior Prom and setting the stage for our theatrical endeavors. Although only a few members of our class have displayed talent in art, from them we have learned how en¬ joyable her classes were. We hope that the future pupils will have the opportunity to know Mrs. Wight as we have. CHARLES W. ANDERSON Perhaps we of the graduating class owe more to Mr. Anderson than we realize. Strict, patient, and fatherly in his methods, he has not failed in giving us an insight into what lies before us. Our gratitude to you Mr. Anderson, and we hope that the following classes may be as thankful for your efforts as we are. ANTHONY PISINI Many of us will not know until we are out of F. H. S. how much “Tony” has done for us. This year he succeeded Mr. Walsh as football and baseball coach. It was also this year that he started a pre¬ induction physical fitness program in our school, this being his second year as physical instructor. As we grunted and groaned while doing our push-ups etc. we wondered to what earthly use could these infernal tortures be put. Then when the girls began voting our manly physi¬ ques found the answer. MRS. RILEY Many thanks to Mrs. Riley not only from the Glee Club for endless, untiring efforts in supervising our musical endeavors, but from the entire student body for some really fine entertainment. May you continue with your work in future years, Mrs. Riley; it will certainly be to the school’s advantage. Nineteen Hundred Forty-Five Page Seventeen
