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.

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.

sports and sportsmanship . LAURA BERNICE WEBB Physical Edu- cation, Health. fl ARTHUR H. coscaovr Physical Educa- tion, Health, Basketball coach, Baseball coach, Freshman sponsor. Together now! One-two-three-four! This cry with its accompanying calisthenics often brings cracking knees and throbbing muscles to F.H.S. students who discover muscles they never dreamed they had. Softball, basketball, volleyball, tumbling, football, kickball, and various relays help to make strong, healthy gymnasts. Alternating with the actual physical participation is a health course designed for growing teenagers. lt stresses cleanliness, a balanced diet, plenty of sleep, a happy mind, and lots of fun to keep us in tiptop shape for high school and the future . The rules of good sportsmanship, not only for school activities, but also for community life, are studied and dis- cussed. Although the temptation to break these rules is often great, we learn to try our best to control ourselves and our tempers in work and play as we grow in mind and body. Volleyball, a major activity in theF.H.S. physical education program, is exciting. Emily Yount tries to return the ball as her teammates Sandy Justice, Janet Wheeler, Norma Lewis, and Barbara Cowan urge that ball across the net. David Lemons finds, as do many other students, the thrill of the man on the flying trapeze as he flies through the air with the great est of ease. 17
