Franklin County High School came into existence September 11, 1950, when the main building, the first unit to be completed, was opened to students. Since that thrilling opening day, work has progressed until the year of ’52 has seen the magnificent school plant almost completed. A new 15 classroom unit was ready for use September 1951. The gymnasium and the cafeteria were opened in January 1952, and the auditorium was initiated in the spring. Thus, the year of 52 has been one of expansion of school plant, curriculum, personnel, and activities. Almost over- night it seems, we have become a huge, well organized institution of learning, com- parable to any of its kind. With this material expansion, the spirit of our school has been greatly intensified. The year has been characterized by seriousness of purpose and keen d esire to work together for the good of all. The name ‘‘Animo”’ well typifies the way we do things-- ‘‘with heart, mind, soul, and spirit.’’ Likewise, the soaring eagle on our school seal symbolizes our Saibition for achievement. It has been the earnest hope of the Animo Staff to capture and record this spirit, which has as truly been expanded as have the walls of our building and the numbers there-in. If this book, through its pictures and script, brings to you, readers, a glimpse of our school life; if it recalls to you, seniors, pleasant memories, which perchance inspire you to achievement in future years--then we shall know that it has served its purpose well. Our °52 ANIMO Contains: People of °52 Organizations of 752 Athletics of 752 Big Events of ’52 Pea, Pe i Because of her knowledge, her willingness to give of her time and rare talent, and her patience in helping us prepare this volume, with gratitude, we dedicate the 1952 Animo to our first year book sponsor, WV).

We feel that we are very fortunate in having so many capable, energetic new instructors added this year to our old tried and true ones, whom we love dearly. Our staff now numbers 36, an increase of 12 over last year’s staff. Among the additions are two former principals, Mr. Bruce Kent, new guidance director, and Mr. Cecil Doss, business manager. These two gentlemen have been a wonderful asset to our school. Our principal, Mr. E.A. Bonner, who came to us last year to initiate us into our new school, is proving his ability as an administrator in setting up policies and is doing a magnificent job organizing our rapidly expanding school. We realize that the progress of any school depends largely upon the personalities who shape and execute its policies. Therefore, we are deeply appreciative of our strong faculty and administration at Franklin County High School. J.T. CLEMENTS RS.

This was the year that we were joined by the first new students from the county schools. This experience of making many new friends was indeed a thrilling one. Our first and second years were not so full. Some of us were members of the Science Club, Choral Club, Student Council, Cheer Club, and many of the boys played baseball and basketball. We started our third year in our new con- solidated school, Franklin County High School. Many more new faces were in our midst from various sections of the county. These added much to the spirit and the life of our class. We were thrilled at the thought of being ‘‘Jackie Juniors’’ in such a modern, up-to-date high school. This year it was our privilege to be- come members of the Beta Club, Hi-Y and Tri- Hi-Y Clubs, and Annual and Newspaper Staff. ANGLE SILK MILLS ae To the great delight of the entire student body, football was added to the sports of the school and proved to be one of the most outstanding. A large group of us enjoyed the annual Beta Club Conven- tion, held in Roanoke March 30 and 31. It seemed as though Rocky Mount enjoyed a quiet week-end because of this trip. Proudly, we began our plans to entertain the seniors. After much wrang- ling, we decided to have a Junior-Senior Prom. Everything went off fine with everyone having a swell time. We entered our last high school year as proud, dignified seniors, ready to go “‘the last mile of the way.’ Again many attended the annual Beta Club Convention held in Richmond, at which time we ran a junior for state president. How about that Junior-Senior Prom? We had long looked forward to this big event, but it far ex- ceeded our greatest expectations. One of our fondest memories will be that we were the first seniors to graduate in the beauti- ful auditorium of Franklin County High School. The beginning and the end. The beginning of a new world, one for which we must perfect the ideas of citizenship in order to be able to crush the ever-rising threats of Communism--- the end of a wonderful part of our lives that can never be re-lived. And so, we leave these familiar halls of Franklin County High School, saddened with the thought of leaving, but eager to face our new world and to make it a better place in which one can live in peace and happiness. DAVIDMAN’S DEPARTMENT STORE JUNIOR CLASS — JUNIOR JOYS As the end of this school year draws toa close, we Juniors begin to recall some of the basic principles learned here. We recall wel- coming our fellow Junior classmates from other schools. In the beginning, it was difficult for the new students to acquaint themselves with the methods of teaching displayed here. Being united with so many other people, almost strangers to the most of us, made it a little harder to ‘‘get in the game’’, As we progressed in familiarity with the new faces and new classrooms, thus we progressed in the desire to strive for higher levels. Those of us who really pitched right in and worked final- ly made the Beta Club and for those who wanted to settle their arguments in a gentleman and lady- like manner, we had the Debate Club. The Mask and Gavel Society gave all an opportunity to show their dramatic talents. And the Camera and Pro- jection Club gave the boys a reason for using so many flashbulbs on the Cheerleaders. For the first time in our school year, as Juniors, we really felt that we were wanted and looked up to. The highlights of our Junior year were the football, basketball, and baseball games, the Homecoming Dance, having Randolph Scott visit us, working on the Annual, moving into our new gym, cafeteria, and auditorium, Beta invitation --for the boys, the Football Banquet, Lions Min- strel, ‘‘Junior Miss’’, and the spring hops. About the biggest event of the year was the Junior- Senior Prom. But the culmination of events of our Junior year came when the Seniors of ’52 stepped out and we became the Seniors of ’53.

Upon our faces there must have been a look of indecis- ion, and in our hearts was a feeling of fright, which was hard to suppress. Still, those of us who had attend- ed F.C.H.S. as Freshmen felt a little proud, knowing that we belonged here. Knowing that one belongs is a feeling to which every student is entitled. We Sophomores have opened our humble hearts to those 10th graders who are com- ing to F.C.H.S. from Boones Mill, Callaway, Ferrum, Glade Hill, and Henry. We feel as though they have e3 PN MARTIN JEWELRY COMPANY always been with us and belonged with us. The new additions to our school, the cafeteria and gym, have brought us more than a little pleasure and we, as a larger class, are beginning to realize our greater responsibilities, not only in showing our appre- ciation for the opportunities given us but by giving our best in everything we attempt in this school. If the motto for our school when its plans were first drawn out had been ‘‘Nothing but the finest’’ it would have been carried through in every way, for we are in the finest of schools with the finest of teachers and equipment. To live up to such a motto is the goal which we sophomores are trying to achieve, for that is, after all, what is expected of us!

Look us over. Maybe you aren’t impressed now, but give us time. Come ’55, and we will have blossom- ed into the most handsome men and the most beautiful dames in the whole confederacy. As for our Intelligence Quota--we have cornered the market on brains. If we seem too young and rash and full of enthusiasm and utterly obnoxious, it is only because we are so thrilled and grateful for all the good things that have come our way in our first year of high school. This super-duper school, --then the gym, and the cafeteria, and next, the auditorium! No wonder you can’t hold us down. Lucky us, with three more years of all this before us! The only things that cramp our Style are the stud- ies, but we realize they are a necessary evil to every school curriculum, and so we shall accept and endure them. What with all the new cultural subjects and clubs and activities that are being added to the three R’s we have always known, it looks as if life will be more beautiful and adventurous for us. There are clubs which appeal to everyone. If one cherishes a secret desire to be an actress or actor, or if he has a yen to writing or public speaking or if he has a hankering for the wide open spaces, there is a club for him. We’re looking forward to the next three years with high hopes for the future.

Turner Sponsor THE ““ANIMO © The Animo, which had its humble beginning in 1950 in the form of an unpretentious little volume of 36 pages, must, of course, increase its size if it is to reproduce fully the happenings ofa year in a rapidly expanding school. We, the 1952 Animo Staff, have worked hard to finance and plan a book which portrays the complete story. Sixteen pages have been added to last year’s 88, and yet we found it impossible to include many activities in these 104 pages. The number of subscriptions also increased from 317 last year to 420 this year. Without the whole-hearted co-operation of students and faculty and the fi- nancial assistance of sponsorships given by our business friends, we should not have been able to publish an annual. We appreciate deeply the interest shown by the students in the project, it? which to many was entirely new. Our Staff has been greatly enriched this year by new members from our feeder schools --Boones Mill, Ferrum, Glade Hill, Callaway, and Henry. These people have added much enthusiasm to the task. The Animo is published as an extra-curri- cular project under the direction of Mrs. Clyde Turner, teacher of English, as our school does not yet have a Journalism department. Miss Ruth Hunt, also teacher of English, is assistant sponsor. We have put in many overtime hours arrang- ing pictures, drawing lay-out, and checking fi- nance--but we have enjoyed the work, and we are rewarded if you, our readers, like the book.

The school, then, must set up the machinery by which these aims may be accomplished. Student participation in the affairs of the school is not a new idea at Franklin County High School. For a good many years certain respon- sibilities have been delegated to the students of the Rocky Mount High School, and last year, under the direction of Mr. Fred Brown, the council became a part of the new school. Schedul- ing difficulties limited the frequency of meetings COUNCIL at first, and some difficulty was encountered by the council in finding time for planning its activities. During the past year, however, time has been allowed for more frequent meetings and our student representatives have been busily en- gaged in resolving the several problems con- sidered by them during the year. Our Student Council is rapidly becoming a serious minded, responsible group of students who are genuinely concerned with the welfare of our school. As this concern continues to de- velop, we shall all find ourselves looking to our Council for its help when considering the various phases of the students’ school activities.

The club took part in presenting a dramatic pre- sentation at the annual County Teachers’ Banquet. The society presented a three-act play ‘‘Junior Miss, ’’ which was met with praise and success.

We met for the first time October 8, 1951. There were fifteen per- sons present, who automatically became the charter members. Since then, two more mem- bers have been taken into the club. This club was organized by popular demand of the students of F.C.H.S. Many of us were interested in forensic activities, and saw a per- fect chance to fulfill our wants and desires. We decided that we needed a constitution F so a committee for this grueling and important task was selected. When the constitution was finished, presented to, and ratified by the club, we felt we had a constitution of which we could be proud. JEFFERSONIAN DEBATE SOCIETY — Ruth Kingery Joyce Hunt Janet Adcock Mary Elizabeth Meeks Claudette Jamison Georgia Love Tommie Newbill We have decided upon several debates for the near future. The debates will be connected with some of the problems of our school, such as: ‘‘Student smoking should be allowed in F. C.H.S.,’’ ‘‘F.C.H.S. should have an honor system,’’ etc. Some of our members are planning to enter the American Legion’s Oratorical Contest this year. We have a lot of faith and confidence that these members will win some of the many prizes offered. We decided that our club would not be an “fall work no play’’ club. We have had several social events up to now and hope to have more in the future. Last, but not least, we would like to give the credit of our success to Murray Shapiro, our sponsor. He has given us a lot of his valuable time and he’s been very patient with our short- comings. Beverley Reid Bobbie Ramsey Betsy Naff GOODE-MENEFEE ELECTRIC COMPANY CAMERA PROJECTION President Amos Fisher The Camera and Projection Club for this Vice President Junior Hairfield school was organized on October 15, 1951, with Secretary and Treasurer Jean Giddens an enrollment of 36 members. The club’s main Assistant Betty Skinnell objective is to acquaint those young people who Sergeant-at-Arms Darwyn McCall wish to learn more about the operation of cameras and projectors with the opportunity to learn how to use and make the best use of them. Many students in this club have learned how Sponsors: to take better care of their cameras, take better Mr. C.W. Doss (Projection Section) snap-shots, develop a roll of film, and to operate Mr. Roy Snyder (Camera Section) small projectors. Many of the action shots of the action shots of some of the football, basket- ball, and baseball games that are in the ’51 and 52 annuals were taken by members of our club.

New books were waiting to be accessioned, and soon we were well started on our year’s work. In October we initiated 30 new members, bringing our total membership to 42. With such a large group we were able to assume more and more work in the library. We are justly proud of our group and the work we have completed.

These have been gained through the hard work and enthusiasm of those who belong to this choir. In the fall, much time was spent in prepara- tion for our joint youth choir concert held at the Methodist Church, November 2, 1951. The two selections rendered were: Sullivan and Proctor - The Lost Chord Richard Rodgers - Blue Moon Later in the year we furnished the music for the Rotary United Nation’s Day. ‘‘We The People of the Nation’’ by O’Hara was Sung in unison beautifully by the group. Again we were called upon to assist the Home Economic girls in their anthem song, ‘‘Dear F.H.A.”’ The time drew nigh for our ‘‘busy’’ month, December. We furnished the music for the re- corded Christmas play, which was presented over the Intercommunication system. The numbers consisted of: Adams’ - O Holy Night Rodgers’ - A Christmas Lullaby Neidlinger’s - The Birthday of a King and the Carols December 18 was the date set for caroling, which everyone enjoyed thoroughly. Following the caroling, a party was given by our sponsor at her boarding home. CHOIR ROLL: Hazel Angle Donald Akers Anne Beheler Effie Mae Betterton Carolyn Boone Mary Elizabeth Bousman Sally A.

CHOIR | A group of the choir members were guest singers for the Baptist Woman’s Missionary Society on January 8, 1952. February was a month set aside for members to work. We were the chorus of the Lion’s min- strels. March 21 was the date everyone looked for- ward to, since this was our big day for our musical comedy ‘‘Waltz Time’”’ by Charles George. The entire musical score was composed in waltz time and every style of waltz; the slow, dreamy, Vien- nese waltz; the waltz with a comic tinge; and the fast, bright modern waltz. This proved to be worthwhile for the choir members. March 24, a group of our singers entertained the Fine Arts Department of the Senior Woman’s Club. April, the choir rendered several selections for the Faculty Banquet. The other date on our calendar for this month was the State Musical Festival. Hard hours of work was used for the preparation for this occasion. It was with sadness in our hearts that we sang together for the year’s last public perfor- mance at graduation exercises.

Peake to those high school pupils who wish to take. Stud- ents taking these lessons have their schedules arranged so that their regular classes will not be interrupted. This is managed by their taking these lessons during a study period. The purpose of the piano lessons is not only to train the pupils to take an active part in musical programs, either in or outside of school, but also to add to the pupils’ appreciation and enjoyment of music. Special emphasis is given to the fact that a person who takes piano lessons is expected to take an active part in community activities when- MEMBERS: Daphne Mitchell Sally Ann Brown Emelyn St. Clair Jean Carter Betty Mitchell Shirley Mitchell Yvonne Webb Eleanor Gray Love Lavona Hodges Barbara Bowling Carol Jean Doughton Betty Lee Sink Velma Jo Clingenpeel Bobbie Ramsey Denise Law ever piano music is necessary. At the end of each school year, a music re- cital is given, at which time friends and patrons are cordially invited to come and see the year’s progress which has been made. For those who are planning to major in music in college, very special attention is given to col- lege preparatory work. This training in music is a valuable asset throughout life, whether one intends to major in music, take part in out-of-school activities, such as church services, or simply to be able to enjoy piano music.

V. ’s------ the successful campaign at Altavista------ the bitterly cold night at Christiansburg (’nuff said) ------ the thrill of winning our first District VI tilt over the Hillsville eleven, to the tune of 34-0 ------ the successful trip to Byrd------the romp over the scrappy Troutville team for a 45-13 Homecoming victory------ the final game with Martinsville; the final score 32-13; the final tally in the ‘‘win-loss’’ column: 6 wins--and 2 defeats. Much of the well deserved credit goes to the fine and capable leadership of the Coaching staff. Many heartfelt thanks go to the fine spirit and pep exhibited by our cheering squad. We cannot forget the fans who raised spirits as they raised their voices. But perhaps we should pause a moment to give the major part of the credit to our Eagle Eleven. They are the ones that sweated out the many strenuous and long hours of practice. They are the ones that put forth the extra effort that was needed to meet the force of the opposit- ion. They are the ones that wearily plodded the way through mud and slush and fought to the end, even when the odds seemed overpowering. It is the team that gave FCHS the creditable reputation in the field of ‘‘good-sportsmanship’’. It has alwavs been. and will continue to remain, a part equally strong character’’. So, then let us offer our thanks, our appreciation, and continued best wishes to all who have had a part in making this year’s program the success that it has attained. RETROSPECTION Remember when------ Co-Captain Carl ran 55 yards in the Jefferson game------ and the one man campaign he staged at Altavista, before he and the night all the fans and cheerleaders were using the football blankets at the Christiansburg massacre------ then at the Hillsville game when w™% AST UF's Ue TA TOIT TIS A ETSI everyone was really going wild as the whole Eagle team worked every play in the book------ and remember Bucky’s beautiful tackle that stopped 77 in his tracks on our ‘‘twenty’’ ------ and David chalking up a total of 99 yards------ we were all hoarse for a week------ and Bobby Newbill’s great playing at Byrd------ and then the crowning game of the season as we romped over Troutville as Louie played his usual ex- ceptionally fine game at the QB slot------ and David running 80 yards only to be stopped on the two-yard line------ Don’t forget the rather long game when our Baby Eagles played Hargrave; Jake Chitwood filled in as halfback and threw to Tommy Newbill for a point after touchdown. Eddie and Amos controlled Jefferson’s line help- ing greatly in our victory of 12-0. In the Martins- ville’s game Ronnie Cooper got a face full of knee but until then was outstanding in defensive play. Ralph Cahill showed his ability as a‘‘glue fingered’’ end in the Troutville tussle by catching nine passes for a total of 57 yards and one touch- down------ then Carl and David nearly dropping the crown for ‘‘Miss FCHS’’-- --- and the final game with Martinsville------ yep, we’ve really had our good and our bad times this year, but we’ve enjoyed them all and are looking forward to next year! RIVERSIDE DAIRY JONES BOWLING ALLEY BABY EAGLES Our J. V. team consists of ten boys who are very much interested in basketball and who are striving to become a member of the varsity squad next year. All these boys are playing for their first time this year. They have had to start from scratch and learn all the fundamental plays as well as the art of dribbling, passing, and shoot- ing. Our J. V.’s have had the willpower to keep in there pitching even when the chips were down. In several of their victories they have had to overcome their opponents after a high score had been run up against them. No particular boy can JUNIOR be singled out as an outstanding player; the boys work as a team, not on individual basis. Coach Bob Cokely is a newcomer to our school, but he has already proved his ability as a good, cool headed, and capable coach. A lot of the boys’ success goes to him. Next year will show even more success be- cause of the eighth-grade team. Some of these boys will be on the J. V. next year and will al- ready have one year of valuable experience. The eighth-grade coach is Mr. Walter Hunt, who is ably assisted by Mr. Snyder and Mr. Shapiro. VARSITY BOWLIQUE BASKETBALL Franklin County High started the season off by defeating Moneta High in the first game of the season. For most of the boys this was their first season of varsity basketball. Captain Carl Price, Bobby Newhbill, and Dick Allred were the only boys remaining from the ’51 squad. Jesse Sigmon, Billy Shepherd, and Paige Shepherd moved up from the J. V. squad. Grady Webb and Kenneth Clingenpeel are newcomers to F.C. H.S. and both had starting positions on our first team. We got beat, too. Sometimes by a high score, but no one can say our boys weren’t in there try- ing. The team’s record of four wins against 14 loses does not tell the whole story. When our boys were able to get going they were hard to contend with. The boys had the right spirit and showed it by whipping William Fleming High School, a task which has not been achieved since °46. Don’t forget the Bassett vs. F.C.H.S. game at Bassett. We lost to Bassett up here, but down M. L. ENGLISH, CONTRACTOR -— there it was a different story. When the final whistle blew the scoreboard read B.H.S. - 61 and F,C.H.S. - 64. We lost two very close games, one to William Byrd, 47-45, and Roanoke Cath- olic, 51-50. Jesse Sigmon and Dick Allred will be the only boys to graduate this year so we are look- ing forward to a more successful season next . e ry . . rf . taf haf af x} Pa} . e e . aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa posh eat Sat pt bot batt ot tt ott ot ott pt . e e ANNNNNNNANNNNANNNNUNN ba a af af Pa af af ayy . ° 47 36 18 34 38 73 33 44 37 34 39 44 45 44 64 57 40 50 Moneta Fieldale Hargrave Blacksburg Fieldale Moneta Ferrum Jr. College Hargrave William Fleming Ferrum Jr. College Bassett William Fleming William Byrd Blacksburg Bassett Martinsville William Byrd Roanoke Catholic EXCHANGE MILLING COMPANY - 22 - 71 - 57 - 58 - 69 - 38 - 72 - 64 - 36 - 51 - 50 - 74 - 47 - 61 - 61 - 70 - 64 - 51 Sally Ann Brown, Senior Carol Jean Wallace, Junior = } Georgid Ann Ramsey, Sophomore Joyce Hunt, Junior oe Maryan Whitlow, Senior Individuals: Nancy Mattox, center forward Betty Jane Barbour, forward Grace Draper, guard Alice Patterson, forward Elaine Hall, guard Joyce Hall, center guard Kneeling left to right: Grace Draper Elaine Hall Joyce Hall Nancy Mattox Betty Jane Barbour Shirley Smith Alice Patterson Christine Smith Standing left to right: Nellie Bernard Maryan Whitlow Alice Hodges Shirley Tucker Christine Dudley Maureen Brown Tatum Newbill Martha Ann Hudson, Manager Coaches Jones and Beard W.C.
