In March the band gave their annual Band Concert, which was enjoyed by all who came to it. They participated for the first time in the Band Contests held at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. The band also participated in the I Am an American Day celebration at Middletown this yearg they marched along with six other bands from Middletown and nearby communities. Their snappy marching and music got a good round of applause from the spectators along the streets. The band will end its season by playing concerts at Harmon Field and playing at the Fourth of July celebration. The 1948 and 1949 season can be classed as a really successful one for the Franklin High School Band.

Representatives from grades 7f12 are elected at the end of each school year. The council holds their meetings regularly every two weeks, under the sponsorship of Mr. Hartzler, principal. The officers elected for this year were: Gene Murray, Pres' ident, jerry Egelston, VicefPresidentg Janet Klaber, Secretary, and Ann Simpson, Treasurer. The representatives try to bring the students' probf lems to their meetings, in order that we might have a closer connection and a better understanding between the students and faculty. The main purpose of the council is to uphold a democratic school life. One of the main projects of the Student Council are their annual Student Council Forums. They inf vite the schools of this vicinity and ask them to bring their four officers and sponsor. Gathering at Frank- lin High School, they hold discussions on the many problems which confront both students and teachers. The reason for having such meetings as these is to promote better fellowship and leadership among stu' dents. They encourage the students to bring questions of their own, giving the students a chance to see what other students are facing. The Student Council, also, has the noonfhour movies, which are held every Friday during the regular noon' time period. They try to obtain movies that are ed' ucational as well as entertaining. A new project of the council was the selling of football programs at the games. This was done in order to make money for the Honor Banquet, which is held at the end of the school year for entertaining students in scholarship, leadership, and athletics. They have sponsored after the game dances both for football and basketball. They wrote and presented a radio program, which was a Student Council meeting in session. It was done for the purpose of letting the adults of our community know what they are trying to do.

SEVEN MILE vs FRANKLIN The Franklin Wildcat football team tipped its hat to the public for the first time in the 194849 season by squeezing past the Seven Mile Cardinals, 7fO. Franklin trebled the Cardinals' efforts in yards gainf ed by rushing, and more than doubled them in first downs. Running from the Tfformation, the Wildcats work' ed smoothly for the initial game of the season, and the ball handling was one of the bright spots of the game. Robert Dearth, right halfback for the Wildcats, turned in a sterling performance on offense and def fense along with Captain Jim Imes and fullback Dick Ruppert. The game was a seefsaw affair until midway in the final quarter when Dearth plunged through the center of the line from the tvvofyard line for the only tally of the game. MIAMI SBURG vs FRANKLIN The Wildcats were handed their first defeat by the Miamisburg Vikings. The hard blocking and runf ning of the Vikings proved to be too much for the Wildcats. The Burg's touchdowns came in 1, 8, and 6Ofyard drives by Weidner, Pressell and McPherson. A blocked punt and a pass interception set up two more touchdown drives of 40 and I2 yards by McPher' son and Kirby. The final touchdown came when Mc' Pherson returned Dearth's punt all the way for a touchdown and the game ended 3245 in favor of the Vikings. Dearth, Ruppert, Imes, and Wade kept the Cats in the game with nice blocking and tackling but the Wildcats couldn't get their offense under way. MONROE vs FRANKLIN The rain poured and the Wildcats roared as they rolled over Monroe, 27-12, to chalk up their second win in three starts up to this time. End Tom Doliboa snagged for the locals with Bill McCabe and Robert Dearth setting the stage with some brilliant runs from their respective halfback posif tions. The Franklin line opened holes in the Monroe line almost at will, and on the defense, stopped the run' ning attack of the Butler County team with almost as much ease. Monroc's scores were odd ones as they scored on the first play from scrimmage of the game and again in the second quarter when an attempted lateral pass was intercepted by Margerum, right end for the Hornets, and he carried the ball over for the final Monroe score. Compliments of Prof 's l l Line: Dale Kellis, Don Moore, Dick Taylor, Jim Imes, jack Kellis, Ray Wade, Tom Doliboa. Backfield: Bob Abrams, Bill McCabe, Dick Ruppert, Bob Bottles. Absent: Gene Murray. O. S. S. O. vs FRANKLIN The O. S. S. O. Cadets handed the Wildcats their first loss of the Little Six competition and second loss of the season. In the closing seconds the Home threw a long desperation pass to win by the score of 2044. The scoring came when the Cats fumbled and the Cadets took advantage and recovered, with fullback Younker taking over. The Wildcats fought back with a pass from Abrams to Bottles. On the third play of the third quarter Frew went 57 yards off left tackle to give the Home the lead. After recovering a fumble, Bottles dropped back and threw one to Doliboa who drove to the seven. At that point Abrams flipped a pass to Kellis in the end' zone and Franklin took the lead. In the closing sec' onds Franklin fumbled and the Cadets recovered, throwing a long desperation pass from Younker to Jackson who turned and drove over for the winning touchdown. VANDALIA BUTLER vs FRANKLIN Franklin edged out Vandalia Butler, 2Of14, in their first Little Six victory of the season played at the But- ler stadium. Captain Jim Imes played a whale of a game at cenf ter, the best effort he has put forth this year, as did Bob Bottles, Bill McCabe, Bob Dearth and Gene Murray, who presented some sparkling runs on offense. Kellis and Doliboa continued to snag Abrams' accurate pass' es for two of the touchdowns which spelled defeat for the Butler squad. The Aviators threatened to score again in the last quarter but time did not permit and when the smoke of the battle cleared away the scoreboard showed 2Of14 in favor of the Wildcats. Bob Abrams NORTHRIDGE vs FRANKLIN Franklin wound up the football season with a surf prising but brilliant upset over the highlyfrated Polar Bears of Northridge, I3f7. The Wildcat line charged hard and fast and pref sented some excellent blocking on offense throughout the contest. The superb linefbacking on defense kept Northridge from displaying too much strength with their large and powerful offense. The feeling of victory was in the air from the start' ing whistle until the final gun as the Wildcats out' played and outfought the 'Ridgers at every angle and point in the game.

The first score came early in the game when hard' hitting halfback Gene Murray plunged over from the twofyard line and Dearth drove over for the extra point. Lebanon came back with Whitlock carrying the pigskin over the goal and Williams putting the placement through the upright. The Warriors fought ahead with Mobley scoring on a pass and a good con- version. The Cats' reserves took over then with jack Hammock bucking his way through the tough Lebanon defense for the final score of the game. OSBORN vs FRANKLIN Franklin was outplayed in front of a homecoming crowd by the fast and heavy Osborn team. Early in the first quarter the Flyers forged ahead on a pass from Huey to Cunigan.

Front: Coach Born. The Franklin Wildcats took 4 the spotlight in the cage game -an 54111 i f opener for the 194849 season by romping over Seven Mile, f N L 4949. Earl Lansdale flipped l4 points through the hoop for the Red and Black to top the scoring. A successful fast break system and consistent rebounding were the deciding factors and there was little doubt in the minds of the Wildcat fans as to the probable outcome when the lo' cals left the floor at halfftime on the long end of a 21f7 score. The Wildcats followed up their opener with a 5 3f47 win over the Warren County Class B Champions of Waynesville in a close contest which was marked with some outstanding shots and brilliant floor play by both teams. The Wildcats led throughout the contest but the Spartans from Waynesville threatened time and again. Don Hanes paced the local attack with 20 points. The Wildcats continued to roll on as they turned back the Monroe Hornets, 37f29, in their annual tussle on the Middletown court. The Hornets fell behind, 8f1, at the first quarter mark and were never able to catch up although they closed the gap slightly at the half to five points which was as close as they came throughout the remainder of the contest. The Bornmen bowed to Middletown, 7 1f2i, for their first setback in four starts. They put a scare in the hearts of Middie fans in the first quarter by leading, 13f12, at the buzzer but the lids closed then and their shots careened off the boards into the waiting hands of the Middletown players. The Wildcats tired in the latter part of the game allowing Middletown to widen the gap even more as the game ended. Franklin definitely outclassed the Panthers of Springf boro in a 5823 contest and it was evident from the beginning on. At intermission the Wildcats were out in front, 2lf8, and they never cooled off throughout Best Wishes from Patrick's Service Station BASKETBALL the remainder of the contest, even in the final quarter as they pushed twenty-two points through the hoop before the final buzzer went off with fourteen of the locals seeing action before the game ended. The Wildcats bowled over Trenton, 57127, in a game which saw the locals playing at their best, with ref bounding strength and accurate set shots marking the game brilliantly and spectacular floor play by Captain Carl Hathaway and his teammates provided many opf portunities for the crowd to cheer them wildly on as they marched to their fifth victory in six contests. This was one of those games! Johnny Born's team fought hard against their teammates of former years and previous Franklin stars to down the Alumni, 41-40. The crowd watched breathlessly as basket by basket the Wildcats managed to slip by the Alumni squad in their closest win of the season thus far. Lansdale and Kennedy led the scoring with 12 points each. Bound for the Little Six Championship, the Wild' cats swept past a tough Northridge quintet for their first league game and their first league victory. North- ridge closed the gap slightly in the final quarter but couldn't collect enough to even threaten the Wildcats, who are defending Little Six Champs, and who looked very impressive in their first league game. The Wildcats met Kings Mills in a game at the local gym and when the smoke of the battle cleared away the scoreboard showed Franklin 53, Kings Mills 30. Tom Kennedy pumped 21 counters through the hoop for the Red and Black in showing the way for their fifth consecutive win since dropping their annual Middletown contest. The Red and Black turned in their best offensive score of the season in turning back Dayton Kiser, 59' 23.

Stephens - The Wildcats fought desperately with the Spring' field Catholic squad at Tiffany gym in Springfield be' fore going down, 4'if44, before a large, fast team in the first encounter that the two quintets have ever played. With less than a minute to go and the score tied, 4444, Hanes of Franklin and Ferryman of Catholic collided, resulting in a double foul.

The Wildcats were very hardfpressed by Xenia O. S. S. O. until the last five minutes of the game when they opened up with a 2O'point scoring spree to hand the Xenia quintet a 52f37 setback. The score at the begin' ning of the terriic splurge by the locals stood at 3242.

Their in- ability to hit was proven in the second quarter when the Wildcats were held scoreless. Kennedy, Hanes, and Doliboa shared scoring honors with seven apiece. The Bornmen topped Vandalia Butler, 4741, to win their fourth L. S. L. victory this season and their twelfth consecutive league victory over a period of two and onefhalf years without a defeat in league play.
