And Keeps The School Running Smoothly MISS MARGIE HALL Secretary ... A.A. Ferrum College Mr. Wesley Naff, the assistant principal, contri- buted much to Franklin County High in many ways. In enforcing discipline, his friendliness and fairness in settling problems throughout his years at Frank- lin County have brought forth respect and admira- tion from the students. He also guided students through his sponsorship of the influential Student Cooperative Association. Besides these time-con- suming duties, he sold tickets to sports events and approved excuses for student absences. Mr. Naff received his B.S. from VPI and his M.Ed. from Radford College. Without the help of secretaries, the administra- tors would have had an overwhelmingly difficult job in the operation of the school. Providing the necessary assistance, Miss Hall and Mrs. Adkins typed, arranged files, and did many, many jobs to keep the school functioning efficiently. As well- managed finances are the root of a successful school, Mrs. Brown’s work as bookkeeper played an important part in the achievements of Franklin County High School. MRS. MARGARET BROWN Bookkeeper... A.A. Ferrum College MRS. JEANETTE ADKINS Secretary . . . Attended Ferrum College

Establishing harmony between students and teachers, providing a balanced curriculum, and main- taining high standards throughout the school were a few of the major concerns which filled his busy day. In spite of the large number of students, he gave each person individual attention to make sure that everyone received the greatest benefit from his education at FCHS. Always working beyond regular school hours, he represented the school, and greeted its visitors at professional and civic functions. Realizing that a leader must have cooperation, Mr. Kent took time to promote a friendly relationship among the students, faculty, and the administration. Through his wise and outstanding management, Mr. Kent created an atmosphere wherein students prosper- ed both mentally and morally. Mr. Kent earned his B.S. and M.Ed. degrees at the College of William and Mary.

General Business and Business MISS PATSY JEFFERSON Lass B.S. Radford College... Shorthand, Typing The Guidance Department Instructs And Counsels In order to fill the present needs of students at Franklin County High School, the guidance counselors advised each person of the curriculum most helpful to his future plans. In the spring each student had an individual session with his counselor in order to organize his schedule for the coming year. As an increasing number of FCHS graduates continued their education at college, the guidance department endeavored to match each student with the college or university at which he would be happiest and would reach his full potential. The office was well supplied with catalogues and information on all state colleges and many schools in other areas. Students who finished their formal education at high school graduation found that the guidance department had help for them, also. There they had access to many books and pamphlets which explained the advantages of the variety of opportunities open to high school gradu- ates. MR. JAMES BROCE B.S., M.Ed.
