climbed on up the ladder to become juniors. Wle won the magazine drive with an overwhelm- ing sum of money and decided that the juniors must win everything. From there we proceeded to get our Football Queen candidate, Mary Lynch, elected, and Anita jordan, our candidate for F. F. A. Queen, reigned over the Harvest Ball. Electing officers for our junior year was an important business, and the officers chosen- Claude Lynch, Carolyn Kinnard, Martha Ann Isaacs, and Morgan Lynch-led us successfully through the strenuous year. Soon the main event of our high school career rolled around- The junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. This was the most successful ever-even the seniors admitted that as they were shown the time of their lives at Clown Town. We won the con- test for having the most mothers at the P.-T. A. meetings during the year, and were rewarded with a party. Honors were bestowed this year upon several individuals of this astounding class. Charlene Sawyer received the Four-Square Medalg Daly Thompson, Jr., received the junior scholarship medal, and Ruth Zane Dodd was awarded the girls' athletic medal. It was due to the untiring and ever-faithful efforts of Miss Mfebb that we were able to do so many great things, and we shall always be grateful to her for her labors with us. The year was a hard and trying one, but a happy one, too, and we managed to continue in the struggle for our hearts' desire-the title of seniors. . At last! There we were-dignified seniors! Our goal was almost reached. To start this year off right we won the magazine drive and enjoyed the reward of seventy pounds of choco- late candy. Bobby T. Ladd, Ned Elliott, Daly Thompson, Jr., and Betsy Church were chosen to lead our class during this busy last year. Naturally, we really enjoyed initiating the fresh- men after waiting four years for this privilege. Mary Lynch was elected Queen of the F. F. A., and reigned over the Barnwarmin' with Barbara Little as senior attendant. The Queen of the Gridiron was our own Mary Ruth Fagan. The captain of the football team, Bobby T. Ladd, was voted most valuable in this sport, and Eugene Newcome was voted the most improved lineman. Carolyn Kinnard was chosen by the students and faculty as the D. A. R. Medalist. and Daly Thompson, jr., was selected as johnny Rebel. All in all, it has been but a few brief, flying years, and we have reached our goal. Yet mingled with the joy of it is sadness also, be- cause we must bid adieu to those with whom we have worked and struggled. Today we leave behind our love and apprecia- tion to our beloved faculty for their untiring efforts, patience, and guidance. . . . These are the memories which flash through our minds as we complete these event- ful years, and the doors of Franklin High School close softly behind us.

CLASS HISTORY As dignified seniors we receive our diplomas. Grasping these treasured and long-waited-for diplomas, we find the incidents of the last four years flashing through our minds . . . In 1945 we thundered into the front hall of Franklin High School as freshmen-but what green freshmen l We felt our importance, but much to our dismay we were only a drop in the bucketg we found this true especially in Mr. and Mrs. Dedman's algebra classes. The outstand- ing event of our freshman year was, of course, Freshman Week. Shining upperclassmen's shoes, relieving them of their burdensome books, and jumping whenever the seniors spoke were only a few of our many tasks. During our event- ful year as greenhorns, Elsie' Locke was chosen as a nominee for the F. F. A. Queen, and Nadene Warf represented our class in the contest for Football Queen. On graduation night Daly Thompson, jr., received the freshman scholar- ship medal. The next fall, as sophomores, we were ready for those long-talked-of subjects such as Caesar, history, and Willie Shakespeare. But soon we were heard to say, Oh, I didn't know that! We had discovered these subjects were not pleasant dreams, but horrible nightmares in- stead, only to be quieted by hard work and late hours. This year we elected our first class of- ficers-Bobby T. Ladd, Huberta Hill, Mary Lynch, and Claude Lynch. Betsy Church was nominated for Miss Franklin High, and Barbara Howard was chosen as candidate for Football. Queen. Carolyn Kinnard received the sophomore scholarship medal. By this time others were beginning to realize that we were in school. At last we were becoming important! We
