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

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.

Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home, is the theme as home economics stu- dents from grades eight through twelve learn both the basic skills and the finer points of homernaking. It not only features the traditional sewing and food preparation and serving, but also trains in fields of household economics and budgeting, interior decorating, home nursing, child care, home management, and family relationships.
