HEARN JOSEPH L. TOMLINSON V ice-Principal Ass? to Principal a Message From our Prin cipdl MY F RIENDS OF THE GRADUATING CLASS: Ever since the founding of this country, education was considered the cornerstone of democracy. A democratic system of government is not pos- sible without a free system of public education, and I might add that no- where else in the world does such a system of free universal education exist. Individual freedom and national strength depend upon clear thinking of informed citizens. At Ben Franklin you have learned the steps in the development of self- government in America. Through your school experiences you have learned that democracy is a way of living together. You have learned that demoe- racy is a process that protects the rights of the minority while expressing the will of the majority. You have realized the importance of self-control and of putting the well-being of others above personal desires. I hope that, as grown-up citizens of tomorrow, you will help establish a world where no unnecessary disease exists, a world where people live in decent homes, not in slums, a world where people feel neighborly and enjoy good human relations. My best wishes for success and happiness go with you as you leave Ben F ranklin and begin adult life which lies just ahead. I. LEWIS HOROWITZ IJUB FACULTY FIRST ROW, Left to right: David E.

From our past mistakes, efforts and accomplishments are molded our character and courage with which we squarely face the problems of manhood, parenthood and responsibilitye to ourselves, our families, and our community. Our faculty has endeavored to show us the intellectual horizons, without which no man is qualified to make mature decisions or to enjoy a full and successful life. Our associa- tions in the classroom, on the playing field, and in our student activities have made us cognizant of the problems of living and prospering together. We have come to realize that we can exist happily only through giving the best we have, to oHer and sharing our best with that olfered by our fellow men. Thus, we reflect nostalgically upon our high school days and record some of the highlights of our academic life. Mr. Blum left for Central High and Mr. Weiss transferred to Girls, High. Mr. Snyder retired last year and Mr. Tomlinsonf-who so ably managed the business affairs of our school- is retiring at the close of this term, as is Mr. Hall, who has taught us Com- merce and English. Mr. F ox, who directed our two plays, America Sings and Down in the Valley, has left for Arizona. He performed an admirable job on these productions which brought much pleasure to the audiences and well-deserved recognition to our School. We should have to write indefinitely to include our many memories of happy days and fond friendships in the halls of F ranklin High. This being impossible, we shall write no more; but shall, nevertheless, carry these pleasant thoughts with us as we bid farewell to Franklin and march forward along our chosen paths with a strength of assurance conceived within its walls.

The class consists usually of 25 boys in the senior class who attend classes during the first of periods each day and work during the afternoons and Saturdays in some distributive occupa- tion. These students receive the regular diploma at graduation. Many of the graduates in this course have made worthwhile use of their training and have become successful workers in, and owners of, business enterprises. 34 Dr. Horowitz receives City Championship Trophy from Devonne Muchison, Iaptain of the Public High Champions in Basketball. 35 VARSITY FDUTBALL After taking several defeats, they tied Dobbins. On Thanksgiving Day they played Bok Tech. During the first half, Ben Franklin matched Bok point for point. They played as well as the last year,s Champions. The second half turned the tide. Bok launched an aerial attack that the Poor Richards couldnft cope with. Franklin fought gamely all the way. They never let up for one minute during the entire game. JB.VABSITY FDDTBALL Most of the boys are members of the tenth grade. The idea of J. V. F ootball is to teach fundamentals to the boys and get them used to play- ing F ootball under game conditions. Approx. 40 boys played the entire season and about 70 boys came out for the team. Won 3, Lost 3, Tied 2. VARSITY BASKETBALL Franklinfs Varsity was the most outstanding team of the 1951-52 session, in the Public High Contests. They got off to a bad start by losing the first game to Southern. They lost 5 out of 15, including the two championships fPublic and CatholicL Franklin lost 3 out of its first 5 games fSouthern, West Philadel- phia and NortheasD . Then they had a rally for the next 5 games, winning them all, some was close, some were not. They lost the last schedule game by 20 to Lincoln. At the end of the session there were eight teams playing for the play offs. It was narrowed down to 2 teams fFranklin and Lincohn. Franklin won by 2 points to win the Public High Championship. They played for the City Championship but lost. Although they lost the City Championship, this is the first time that a Varsity and :1 Jr. Varsity won the Public High Championship in one year. Franklin Varsity won 10 out of 15. Franklinfs Jr. Varsity won 10 out of 12. 36 b2 JR. VARSITY BASKETBALL The team went to the playoffs against Central and for the first four minutes Franklin was scoreless, 12-0. In the second half the team came back strong, and went on to win 66-58. We take our hats off to William Jackson, for if it werenlt for him the team wouldnlt have been as good. The players who assisted William, were as follows: Blakney, Belton, Conyer, Samuel, Gee, Ronald, Hard- away, Lucious, Layne, Alanzo, and Riles, Nathan. But above all of these praises the majority of credit goes to Coach Robert K. Logan, for his outstanding coaching. Winning or losing, Mr. Logan always had a cool mind. The team took notice to it, and I guess thatls what made the team what it is today, a cool, hard playing and never giving up too the last second team. Won 10, Lost 2. VARSITY SHEEEB The team had a successful season, winning its share of games. Stephen Gerowoshi, was one of our fine players and Joseph Russo a transfer from Girard College was of great help to the team. Most of these boys return for another season. JB. VARSITY SUEEEB Even though the team won only one of its league contests, the team played in true sportmanship spirit. This was the first season that many of the boys ever tried to play Soccer. The boys improved as the season pro- gressed and many of them should make the Varsity team in the near future. EBIISS EUUNTBY TEAM-FALL 1951 Quincy Battle was the outstanding runner for Ben Franklin and finished well up with the leaders in each meet. The Championship meet was run in Fairmount Park on a bitter cold day. In this meet, Franklin finished eighth of thirteen Public High Teams. Won 3, Lost 7. GYM TEAM-IQSI-SE For a new group of boys the team did very well. Donald Stevens one of Franklinls all around athletes placed high in Public High com- petition and showed a fine attitude by assisting the newcomers.
