— Pep Fest Lead To Homecoming Victory! Thursday, October 15, found many of the Franldin students donning their costumes, making props, and preparing for the talent show. At 8:00 the curtain opened and the variety of skits, miniature dramas, and songs spewed forth from the mouth of the stage. Following the variety show, the coronation took place and Queen Jane and Grand Marshall Duane rode to the foot- ball field with their junior royality sitting alongside. The Franklin Marching Band led the route to the field where the large pile of lumber and trees were ignited by our Grand Marshall. As the flames lick- ed higher and higher, the crowd became more and more fired up by the fine leadership of the cheerleaders. The Franklin Fire Department kept an eye on the last dying ember as the crowd slowly dwindled away. Friday, October 16, started off with the highly aroused students sitting anxi- ously awaiting the time for the start of the homecoming game. Alumni mingled in the halls and returned to visit old faculty members and friends of the past. Balloons bobbed up and down seventh hour struggling to be released at the kick of the ball. At last the team took to the field for the warm-up and the Milroy players looked worried. They had every right to be. With the opening kick-off, there was no doubt that the Tigers were out to win the game. The bonfire, talent show, pep fest, and new reigning royalty were not in vain. Kirk Jensen pas- sed to Steve Serbus and a 31 yard pass from Dickmeyer to Anderson made it 12 to 0 at the end of the first quarter. A 26 yard pass to Dickmeyer and a 50 yard run by Dickmeyer and 17 yard run by Sander finished the game. Final score - Franklin 34, Milroy 0. By George, 1 think I’ve got it! Grab his arm and rip it off! Playing the Royalty March , the band of Franklin high school leads the home- coming royalty to the bonfire.

Reach” Is Junior Class! For many years now, thirteen year old Wilbur Maxwell, has wanted a bicycle. He's dreamed of peddling through town, getting fond gazes from the girls, and boastfully shouting, Look, no hands! But he still can't persuade Mama and Papa to buy him one. So, when Papa is called away for a week-long business trip, and Mama is persuaded to go with him, Wilbur gets the brilliant idea of opening a boarding house to earn his own money, to buy his bike. Wilbur knows that there's a housing shortage, and he knows people need places to sleep, and he knows he can really clean up and be rolling in bicycles. After putting an ad in the paper, the Maxwell house is crawl- ing with people. At two o’ clock the next morning. Mama and Papa unexpectedly return home--Papa forgot his briefcase. This upsets Wilbur's entire scheme. Now it's one mess after another. Papa has an important business con- ference that same morning, but he can’t get in to shave, and he can’t ever read his own paper, Things are going round and round. Finally it's discovered that some- body in the house is a bank robber, and poor Papa is mistakenly carted off to the clink. When the whole mess gets straightened out, Wil- bur is a hero for nabbing the bank robbers, and he finally gets his bicycle. BELOW: You look like a real swinger in that outfit Pam!
