Franklin High School Song I We sing no praise of Princeton, Of Vassar, nor of Yale, We raise no college standard, No college name we hail, But where the maples' shadows, With nature's beauties throng, Is Franklin, Alma Mater To which we raise our song. Chorus Here's to the blue and crimson, Shout their praises high, Ever float our banner Proudly in the sky. Let the song re-echo From the woods around, And the sound of triumph From the hills resound. II And to her halls in Autumn, When leaves are red and gold, We children come from summer, In forest and in wold, And when in soccer scrimmage You hear our voices ring, And life and joy run freely As merrily we sing. l Franlclin Senior Song Tune of Londonderry Air O here's a praise for dear old Franklin High, We'll ever hold her colors in the sky, And when we see her banner Hoating in the air, We'll know there's not a stain to spot her there. So thirty-three has come to say goodbye, And says she'll keep her banner floating high. So leave the task to dear old thirty-three, And you will End she'll not forsaken be.

It is not in the form or in the word, but in the spirit that lies the power. Principal's Message To Graduates ,U T always gives me great pleasure to write this message to the boys and girls 'VN K' of Franklin High School who have completed successfully the require- ments for graduation. A high school diploma is a symbol of achieve- ment. It will not, however, be a magic wand to success, your physical self, your moral courage, and your ambition will be the chief factors to obtain for you a place in human society. There are two quotations that have been a constant source of help and inspira- tion to me. I give them to you with the hope that they will be the same to you. The first is a German proverb: As the Work so the Reward , the second is one that you have heard and is taken from Hamlet: To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any manf' In the following paragraphs, I shall give to you my interpretation of these quotations. In order to have growth, there must be work or effort. This is nature's way of showing development. A seed thrown into shallow ground or in soil that is not fertile will produce a stunted plant. The same kind of plant will be produced if seed is poor, if there is a lack of sunlight, air and water. The seed germinates and pushes its way up through the warm soil, it struggles for sunlight, for food, and utilizes its effort in the form of food or beauty. Human life is the same, you come into the world endowed with certain abilities and physical equipment. Your job is to develop these endowments to their limits. This means egort, and effort means work. Now it is a strange time to talk about work when so many are out of employ- ment. Yet now more than ever must you watch your talents', in order that they do not remain idle and become dwarfed. Work is necessary for life, for development, whether it be of the mental or physical type, both are necessary for a well balanced individual. Sometimes it may appear that your efforts are not appreciated, here again you must remember that if you persevere, the reward will come if only in the form of satisfaction of work well done. Do not be fooled by a mirage of money reward or pecuniary success. Money is necessary but only to the end that it procures human happiness. You must con- tinue to work in order to grow. , In order to grow you must be true to yourself, you must establish a standard of conduct, of living, and only change these when the change points toward contin- ued growth. Think out your life, and how and why you are going to live it. A house builded upon sand cannot and will not endure the winds and storms of life. A character established upon bluff, shallowness, trickery, and selfishness will meet the same fate. It will endure for a while but soon the true light of public opinion, and the drawing away of your friends will betray to you that your course is poorly charted and must be changed if you are to lead a healthy, happy, normal life. Your life is your own, you must live it as well as you can. No other happiness is as great as the happiness of having good friends, of honoring your parents, and serving your fellowmen. Society demands unselfish men and women, demands people who while for- getting self, find immortality in serving others. Each and everyone of us must and can contribute our part to make your community a finer one. Your principal, teachers, friends and parents wish for each of you a splendid career, a career based on the solid rocks of character. May you ever be true to your ideals. May you find happiness and peace in your work, is ever the prayer of R. S. HYSON, Principal. ' r -fe, , .g ag. LL. N -s S. x Page Fourteen
