THE FACULTY LOOK 10 THE FUTURE ““There will come a day!’ To all of us this expression means the realization of personal am- bitions, or the vision of hopes and dreams fulfilled. What does it mean with reference to Frank- lin County High School ? One does not need a crystal ball to visualize our building in its final form. The gymnasium and cafeteria wing is already under construction. We hope for the completion of a unit of fifteen additional classrooms by September. The auditorium should be ready for use by the middle of the 1951-52 school year. We shall then have a school building three times as large as our present plant, and one of the most beautiful and complete high schools in the state. As soon as adequate classroom space is provided we shall complete our consolidation pro- gram. Under this plan the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades will be brought in from other -schools. This will give us an enrollment of from eight hundred to a thousand students, and place us on a par with other large city and consolidated high schools. Of first importance is a wider and richer offering of courses. We hope for Diversified Occu- pations and Distributive Education programs for those students wishing to work and attend school under a coordinated plan. Our program will include an expansion of the science department to include physics; of the home economics department to offer a wider range of experiences for homemakers; of the commercial department to provide commercial training for a larger number of students; and of the school workshops to provide manual arts training for all eighth graders and others wishing this type of work. We foresee a summer school for those finding it necessary to take make-up or additional classwork. This will include a summer counseling and guidance program arranged to give stu- dents and parents an opportunity to contact the school to plan for the students’ work for the com- ing year. We look forward to the time when we shall have a school newspaper published exclusively for own school, and a yearbook worthy of the highest awards. Beginning with September, 1951, we shall have a modern school cafeteria with a feeding ca- pacity of eight hundred persons. We are planning for a well organized activity program, with opportunities for each student to belong and become active in some worth while club. : We foresee for our school a brass band, an orchestra, anda glee club second to none in this section of the state. These should provide a wide range of musical experiences and serve as a means of building fine school spirit and morale. There will be a regular auditorium program, utilizing school talent along with well selected troupes from the outside. . Our gymnasium will be the envy of all who see it. There will be shower and locker rooms of the latest design, and physical education activities unhampered by weather, no matter how foul it happens to be. We can see a lighted football and athletic field with ample seats and parking space for im- pressive crowds of spectators----to be used not only for intermural, but also for intramural sports. These will include football, baseball, volleybali, outdoor basketball, tennis, badminton, hockey and track, We can see our library open to the public during the summer, with all the outmoded and un- suitable material removed, and the shelves filled with books that are bright and new and spark- ling and tempt us to sit and read, and read, and read! These are some of the ‘‘things hoped for ’ by the faculty. We may confidently expect them in the not too distant future. A. O. MORAN CO. .
