SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY
MARGUERITE SECORD
KATHLEEN SAULS . .
MRS. LYMAN and MRS. RICHARDS
This semester the Scholarship Society has under-
taken the project of better citizenship. Moving pic-
tures are being made with the new school camera.
Some of the pictures which are being filmed include
cafeteria conduct, hall order and school ground be-
havior. All of these pictures stress courtesy and safety,
and should help improve Franklin citizenship. The
entire plan was suggested to the society by Mrs. Price,
the Vice Principal, who has appointed several teachers
to cooperate in the plan. Ground action will be super-
vised by Mr. VVertz and Miss Clark. Costumes are
to be provided by Miss Morrison and Miss Ringheim.
Mr. Deaver, who wrote the script, also is acting as
cameraman and Miss Burns is collaborating with Mr.
Deaver in preparing the scenario. All pantomime
scenes are directed by Miss Walker. The following
students are in the Society:
7A-Lou Jean Barlow, Darlene Benson, Joyce Buchanan, Vir-
ginia Clevenger, Betty Goosen, Patsy Green, Geraldine Hoy, Len-
nice Hubenbecker, Marilyn McClure, Leona Murry, Edda May

The Senior Orchestra is one of the most active organizations
in school as it has represented Franklin in many of the civic
affairs of Long Beach. Franklin attracted the attention of
Southern California Music Officials by winning so many high
ratings for the soloists entered at Pasadena. Besides those
outside activities there was the splendid Spring Concert in
which Mrs. Whitnack so ably conducted the Senior Orchestra
to higher levels of musicianship and music appreciation.

In the minds of those who are closely associated with the
orchestras, there is a doubt whether or not the Junior Orchestra
receives due credit. The reason for such a doubt is easy to see
when we realize that although the Junior Orchestra makes
fewer appearances than the Senior Orchestra, it affords an
opportunity for the musicians to prepare themselves for Senior
Orchesetra. It gives them needed experience and confidence to
become efhcient in the advanced work in Senior Orchestra.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Girls' Physical Education
This semester the girls have had an after school play-
ground, twelve different kinds of games. The most
popular games were paddle tennis, shuHieboard, deck
tennis, and tether ball.
We have found that with twelve games, more girls
come out to playground thanlif there is just one game.
The second nine weeks we had baseball and we had a
few of the paddle tennis courts, deck tennis, shuHieboard,
and other balls in use so if some of the girls wanted to
earn their playground points and did not like baseball
they could play one of the other four games.

Brawny muscles, broad shoulders, and a deep, pleasant voice.

train of beautiful girls, parading up the aisle. Trumpeters
announce the royal party and a lovely girl is crowned our
Queen. Youlve already guessed it; this brilliant pagentry
occured May 10, 1939, at our May Fete.

Oh yes, it was a comedy given by Miss Walkerls speech classes
on May 23 and 24, 1939.
Franklinls Art Department was very proud of Wanda
Roberts. Her poster, nStopeSave a Life," was exhibited on all
Lang Busses on March 23, 1939. How some of us students envy

We were honored on May 26, 1939, for it was perhaps the

The Junior Girlsi Glee was organized to help prepare girls
for Senior Glee. This is not the only service it gives, for the
girls take part in many programs. To be taken into Junior Glee
one must have a good voice, good citizenship, and a high stand-
ing in scholarship in other classes. Usually a girl is admitted
into Senior Glee after two semesters in Junior Glee. However,
if a student has done outstanding work and is needed in Senior
Glee she is admitted after one semester.
