We remember Opening day of school found FCHS auditor- ium bulging at the seams as 1350 students crowded into it for announcements concern- ing the new term. Seniors enjoyed their first privilege by marching out to a standing ova- tion of the underclassmen. FOREWORD In the following pages of our 1964 Animo are Moments to Remember which we will read, see, feel, and cherish as part of our right to lead free, useful and happy lives. The goal of our school is to build minds and character. Centered here in our high school are foundations of knowledge and wis- dom, of learning and growing, of honor and integrity, of work and fun, and of love and friendships. Assembled here in the Animo as a portfol- io are our teachers, our classmates, our class- es, and our activities that will represent part of our life in 1964 at Franklin County High School. Oh! what memories of the hours spent here will rush back to us when- ever we leaf through this yearbook! May we always remember to be grateful to all of those who have helped us to pre- pare ourselves to meet our future responsi- bilities. The torch of mem’ry burns But oftimes flickers, and we then forget. Within this volume We have left a sparkle To touch and to light again Our mem’ry of 1964.

Lbese moments... Franklin County students, traveling from an area of 721 square miles, must spend many hours on a bus during a school year. Mem- ories of crowded conditions, of stops at the “Jot-em-down” stores, of back seat love af- fairs, and of friendships acquired will linger for a life time. Despite the crowded conditions, the librarians were able to set up a rotation schedule so that every student would have at least one hour in the library each week. The library was also opened at 8:15 for the benefit of those students who did not have a study hall period. NRE EN)
