EDUCATION Faced with the tedious task of operating an educa- tional system smoothly and efficiently, the faculty and administration of Franklin County High School arose as competent leaders with a ready solution to every problem. The instillation of knowledge into the students’ minds was not sufficient. Each member of the faculty was well qualified in persuading students to develop their talents and abilities, in teaching them to profit from new ideas, and in helping the young students to realize the signifi- cance of each new opportunity. Students found that words were inadequate to express their appreciation for the deep devotion shown to each student by the educators. Instead, the young people of FCHS gave their fullest admiration and respect to those who had so unselfishly given of themselves so that each person might stand individually and independently. Yes, those were the days when the students worked with the faculty and administration in acquiring a new and prosperous education for the near future. IS
