Franklin High School where . . . The Hi-Y float was the center of attention in the homecoming parade. These ten lovely girls were chosen by popular vote of the student body. Linda Bowling reigned as queen while Nancy Hodges was chosen as her attendant. Susie Winesett and Phyllis Guilliams represented the junior class, Sue Robertson and Norma Petrini the sophomores, Carole Menefee and Laquita Ramsey the freshmen, Gail Lynch and Georgia Dillon the eighth grade. Adding to the enjoyment of football games was the newly erected concession building. Annual members find Jack Bumgardner, Judy Jamison, and Charles Davis capable salesmen. Our baseball team was the first athletic group in the history of FCHS to become district champions. They finished the season with a record of eight wins against naught losses.

The Home of The Eagles is... Every day of the school year we find stu- dents coming from all parts of the county to Franklin County High School, a consoli- dated school, located in Rocky Mount, Vir- ginia. The hours spent in the classroom were the most valuable ones during the day. Stu- dents acquired knowledge in subjects rang- ing from Vo-ag and home economics to English grammar and trigonometry. Students have also spent many hours at FCHS in participation in athletic events, plays, club activities, and dances. Through school-sponsored organizations the pupil gains the qualities of leadership, “followship’’, and fair-play in order that he may be a responsible and well-rounded citi- zen of his community. Boies Miss Hodges and Mrs. Vaughn issue excuses each morn- ing to girls who have been absent. Carol Hodges reports for her permit to class. Many of the Franklin County High School students arrive at school each morning by bus. Eighty buses transport students from all parts of the county to Rocky Mount each day.
