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!

Franklin s Winter Wonderland One of the most exciting weeks was February 15th to 20th, which was officially named Sno-Week. With equally good ideas, each class set out to capture the winning snow sculpture. The sophomore class was the winner with Tony the Tiger ; second place was taken by the juniors with their winning sculpture, Fred Flintstone . The ninth grade built Chumley ; the eighth grade built Dino the Dinosaur ; and the seventh grade built Huckleberry Hound , which re- ceived honorable mention. The seniors were either too busy (or lazy) to do a sculpture. One of the more exciting moments was the crowning of the Snow King and Queen. Each class had chosen its most likely candidates to be crowned and the lucky candidates were Carmen Anderson and Kirk Jensen . Their court consisted of Susan Forbrook, Diane Drexler, Wayne Olson, Garnett Pederson, Trudy Dingels, Sean Ness, Jean Koupal, Mark Jensen, Mindy Triden, and John Sander. On Friday night a big dance was held in the gym, with music provided by records, which were later raffled off to the students. Refreshed by the dance the night before, everybody was ready and anxious for the broom hockey games the next day. Lothert's Litter was the winner of the girl's teams, with Pam Lothert as captain. Dingel's Pick-ups with Jim Dingels as captain, was the winner of the boy's teams. All in all, Sno-Week was a very fun and successful week.
