She is chang- ing from a small school to a large one. From the start she has grown steadily, but never so rapidly nor in such proportions as at the present time, and never has the enlargement extended to so many departments. Of course. the new gymnasium is the most conspicuous proof of this development, but closely following are other irrefutable proofs, the new equipment in the Agriculture and Gymnasium departments, the increased number of students, the new members on the faculty, the new athletic field, the higher average our teams have brought home, and the en- larged Annual. The growth of Franklin may be approximated by the Almanacs alone, for each year the book is larger, each year it gives evidence of the increase in school activities and the progress in every department. With the well-known Franklin spirit we have endeavored to make this Annual better than any before it,fjust as Franklin always strives to profit by her former mistakes and attempts to bring each undertaking closer to perfection than the last. ' We have tried to show you, dear reader, the unquenchable, joyous spirit of the Franklinite along with the serious, level-headed, sportsmanlike deter- mination to play the game through, whatever it may be. We have attempted to show the gay, social side of the school life as well as the athletic activities. In short, we have tried to record the activities of all the departments and societies of Franklin. It is with a great deal of gratitude that we wish to thank the members of the faculty for the help they have given the staff in the publication of this Annual, for, without them, it would not be what it is. ' Each member of the staff has been of invaluable aid in the compilation of the Almanac.
