O'Z5UD'O'Z A half a score and two years ago, our fathers brought forth in this school district a new group of pupils, destined to become the future leaders of the nation. WVe are now prepared to leave this school, to prove that any pupil or group of pupils so edu- cated and so dedicated can successfully face the World. As We leave the scenes of these experiences we find in a larger sense, that We cannot relive -we cannot retain-We cannot recapture these cherished moments. Therefore, We have pub- lished this keepsake so that these adventures of the pupils, for the pupils and by the pupils shall not perish from our memories.

The veteran is also re- turning to his old job and is given preference in the new ones. Of course, this is the only way we would have it for the men who have given their all so we might live in peace. But to offset these disadvantages we are entering a world which is free from war. We will at least be able to choose our own future and know that we will not be forced to serve in a conflict which was started by aggression and had to be ended in the same manner. During our high school education we have been asked to forego many pleasures which classes before us have enjoyed. However I feel certain that in this, our last year at Franklin High School, we have enjoyed ourselves and found school to be a pleasant preparation for the ways of life. I am sure you will agree that facing the world without this training would have been a handicap. Through all of our 12 years, we have had the best teachers available, and the most excellent of educational facilities at our command. Our teachers have watched our progress and have helped us when the going was rough. To them we owe a great deal. Any success which we achieve in life will be a Product of their diligence in preparing us for the future. Bruce C. Rounds
