ln this age of Sputniks, space ships, and intercontinental ballistic missiles, the need for scientists has become all-important. Science today means electronics, nuclear energy, radar, television, chemistry, and many other things which have quickly be- come necessities of ordinary living. General science, biology, physics, practical physics, and chemistry are avail- able for all students, as they prepare them- selves to live in our modern world. Many experiments are conducted in these scientific courses, from snakes and snails and guinea pigs' tails in biology to acids, bases, and salts in chemistry. Anxiously awaiting the outcome of a chemistry experiment are John Ferrell, Nancy Brown, and Bill Brown. facts and formulas . . Bonnie White and Clarellen Simon measure the elasticity of springs.

The geometry classes have a chance for creativity in the figures they draw and for originality in their proofs. In the advanced classes, students are prepared for college, es- pecially for such fields as science and engineer ing. These people get a lot of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, plus brief ex- cursions into allied fields. The general mathematics classes get a re- view of fundamentals and a lot of practical problems--some just for fun.

As well as teaching the many phases of art and art appreciation, our art department helps keep Franklin High School attractive by making posters and decorating windows. Art students aid in publicizing school events, such as National Book Week, and school plays, and at Christmas they adorn the school neigh- borhood by making beautiful stained-glass windows with Christmas themes. -During the years students learn to work with clay, crayons, paints, water colors, oils, and tempera, and all other types of art equipment. Some of the students win recognition for work they have entered in contests in other cities. Carole Fricker and Janet Hunt exhibit cardboard figures which were made in sophomore classes to portray book characters during Book Week. eiafli-1. Making masks was lots of fun for Mary Graham, William Julian, and Kathy Lybrook.
