Varied Special Services Help Students Plan Donald K. Ranson Assistant Principal As times changed at Franklin County High School, students felt the need for extra advice in the many decisions they had to make. The Guidance Department continued to expand to meet this demand through the addition of Mr. William C. Walker, guidance director, and John L. Smith, director of student activities. To the graduating class of 1970, the guidance de- partment helped many students to choose a college in which he could reach his full potential and one which would best suit his needs. The students found the large library of college catalogs and pamphlets especially useful, in addition to the counselors’ advice. In a school of multiple changes, this department proved and will continue to prove that it is invaluable to the students of FCHS. Mr. Donald K. Ranson, who achieved his B.S. from West Virginia Wesleyan and his M.S from Radford College, began the year busying himself with various activities. His sincere fairness in disciplinary actions and his general friendliness with all students won him instant respect. Being a new-comer to the county, he soon became familiar with the school system wi th help from students and faculty. His orientation into the school came quickly when he agreed to sponsor the Student Cooperative Association. Handling the mountains of paper work in the office, the secre- taries, Miss Hall and Mrs. Adkins, kept the school functioning smoothly. Keeping files, typing letters and transcripts, and consider- ing tardy slips were among the many jobs they handled efficiently. The bookkeeping department was well staffed as Mrs. Brown coura- geously handled the financial details of all clubs and supplies. William C. Walker Guidance Director 18
