Humorous discussions, spine-tingling debates and emotion prone speeches are highlights of Mr. Roger Cook ' s Speech II class. After directing the highly successful senior play, Mr. Cook is now planning another stage production. Hurry! Hurry! We ' ve got a deadline. These phrases could usually be heard from room 113 as Miss Melva Cornwell, as sponsor, attempts to emphasize a serious point to the forever hustling Pilot Flashes newspaper staff. Challenging freshmen with new words, ideas, and stories, Mrs. Georgia Stumpf presents each day ' s lesson with renewed vitality and enthusiasm. Her detailed but understandable expla- nations include patience and perseverance. Literary ballads and folklore were brought to real life by Mr. Williarri Bankston assisted by Mr. Doug Stevens in his junio r English classes.

Running a library smoothly is an important as well as a time- consuming job. The efficiency and success of our library can be attributed to Mrs. Thelma Shutt. Her efforts to improve and update our present library facilities are positive proof of her objective interest in the educational advancement of our com- munity. In the above picture, Mrs. Shutt examines some of the many new books received this year in preparation for their entries in the card catalog. Library Facilities Are Improved This Year Many new books, visual aids, and more research materials have been added to the library at Frank- lin Central this year. Our head librarian, Mrs. Thelma Shutt, was able to accomplish this improve- ment with the help of the federal government. Mrs. Shutt should be commended for her efforts and for her interest in the student body. This year a new assistant has been added to the library staff, Mrs. Elsie Freese. An F.C.H.S. student librarian, Marsha Miller, performs her daily task of replacing library books which have been returned by student borrowers. Many student librarians spend their mornings working in the library. Teacher ' s aid, Mrs. Elsie Freese, works industriously on the card catalog of our library, inserting entries for new materials that have supplemented the improvement of our facilities. Mrs. Freese is also supervisor of the study hall.
