Administration Stresses Cooperation And Understanding at FCHS Individually and as a team, Mr. C. I. Dillon and Mr. Wesley W. Naff strived to keep the public school system of Franklin County and, in particular, Franklin County High School operating smoothly. A comfortable, educational atmosphere prevailed as students and faculty worked with the admini- strators. As Superintendent of Public Schools, Mr. Dillon worked diligently toward improving the educational system of the county. He possessed a background of academic preparation that provided a firm foundation for his position. Mr. Dillon earned his B.A. at the University of Richmond, his M.Ed. at V.P.I. and completed post-graduate work at the University of Virginia. Mr. Naff, as principal of Franklin County High School, strived to keep the instructional program up-to-date in order to meet the increasingly varied needs of the students. Even though his days were usually very busy, he always took advantage of any opportunity to talk with students. Mr. Naff received his B.S. from V.P.I. and his M.Ed. from Radford College. Mr. Naff admires the many trophies the Franklin Eagles have won. C. I. Dillon Superintendent of Schools Wesley W. Naff, Jr. Principal

Mr. Ranson, Mr. Smith, And Office Staffs Assistant principals Donald K. Ranson and John L. Smith strived to promote a sense of unity and purpose within the school. Although their obligations often seemed numerous and burdensome, they fulfilled each one with the accuracy that was characteristic of the entire administration. Mr. Ranson earned a B.S. degree from West Virginia Wesleyan. As he pursued his educational preparations further, he received a M.S. degree from Radford College. In all areas of Mr. Ranson’s immense duties, he exhibited traits of sincerity and fairmindedness. Mr. Smith, a familiar face at Franklin County High School for many years, ascended to the title of assistant principal. In his new capacity, which combined the duties of assistant principal and director of student activities, Mr. Smith could always be depended upon to express meaningful advice for a student or faculty member facing an “insurmountable” prob- lem. His academic preparation included an A.A. degree from Ferrun ‘unior College and a B.S. degree from V.P.I. The secretaries, Mrs. Adkins, Mrs. Gann, and Mrs. Wright proved to be essential components of the administrative office. Numerous duties that consisted of keeping up-to-date files and answering a constantly ringing telephone were among just a few of the endless challenges they tackled each day. In addition to the secretaries, Mrs. Brown, as the school book- keeper, proved her efficiency as she maintained accurate records of all school finances. Donald K. Ranson Assistant Principal John L.
