; Mr. Cecil W. Doss Assistant Principal and Business Manager Mr. Morris Law has many duties as as- sistant principal in addition to others hav- ing to do with his position as guidance counselor. He administers tests and in- forms students of their scores, helps stu- dents make decisions on vocations or col- leges and future careers, helps them when seeking advice or an opinion, holds meet- ings for the parents, and is concerned with the adjustment and education of each stu- dent into a good, responsible citizen. Mr. Law is in charge of the Students’ Bulletin Board which was displayed very attrac- tively and appropriately each day. Many of his hours were spent in planning, pre- paring, and arranging this showcase. Also he was sponsor of the valuable SCA and taught a class in the art of speech. 22 In addition to being assistant principal, there are many duties for which Mr. Cecil Doss is responsible. He must know of all business transactions and financial affairs which take place within the school. He is in charge of the cafeteria, the book store, and the paperback book store. All kinds of school supplies are made available by him. The cafeteria is very efficiently and smoothly operated. Without his knowledge and wise decisions in business, our school could not possibly meet its financial needs. Mr. Doss’s services are very valuable to all students at FCHS.

Mr. Bruce M. Kent, Principal Serving on the Franklin County School Board are Mr. James T. Smith; Mr. Harold Ramsey, superin- tendent; Mrs. Peggy Love, clerk; and Mr. C. A. Mr. Bruce M. Kent, our principal, has a job with a variety of tasks and responsi- bilities. In addition to planning and keep- ing the staff organized, he has to take care of all activities, see that FCHS meets the educational needs of Franklin County, and work with the school board, the superin- tendent of schools, and the director of in- struction. His hours aren’t of a regular school day because there are many outside activities at which he has to be present. Yet he finds time to confer with parents, teachers, and students seeking information and advice. The love and appreciation we feel toward the vital role which Mr. Kent fills in each student’s school life cannot be expressed. The thought lies far beyond words. Martin, chairman. Row 2: Mr. A. C. Martin; Mr. O. P. Akers; Mr. A. D. Simpson; Mr. Posey J. Ross; Mr. Jesse Amos; and Mr. Ward Finney.
