Class History Time brings everything, even graduation day. To most of us, it hardly seems four years since we entered Franklin High School, beginning our careers as fresh- men, stowed away in the balcony for assembly programs and admonished to 'be quiet. There were one hundred and ninety members in that class who chose james Dolson, presidentg Betty Anderson. vice presidentg Virginia Marwood, secretaryg Bill Breene, treasurer, and Mr. Theron Davis, class adviser. VVe decided on blue and silver as our class colors. If anything was outstanding that year possibly it was the presentation of lilmer by the freshmen and sophomore Dramatic Clubs. A bake sale featured the month of March. It was then we learned that salesmanship was an art to be acquired with practice. The sophomore year found the class responding to the high school curricu- lum with more aptitude 3 we had opportunity to lend a guiding hand to the new fresh- men. Bernice Anderson and Robert Grannis were chosen as cheer leaders. Sopho- mores took charge of the Lost and Found Department-almost getting lost them- selves. Selection of two sophomores from each home room to the Student Council sponsorship of an Easter Dance in the old gym, and participation in the commence- ment pageant, Gateway , were highlights of an interesting year. As class responsibilities increased, so class activities gained in prominence. The junior year found this class of 1938 really hitting a stride that led it far on the pathway of success. Our officers were james Dolson, presidentg Betty Anderson, vice presidentg Mary Kunkel, secretary, Bill Breene, treasurer, and Mr. William White, class adviser. During the football and basketball seasons, the junior girls busied them- selves by selling the spectators hot dogs, ice cream, and candy. In the first week of November we participated in the mock election held in the school library. Asthe months quickly rolled away, we sponsored a colorful St. Patrick's Day Dance, and published a Scandal Sheet which made public secret heart-throbs and deftly 'hidden weaknesses! Our junior girls held a bake sale, ushered at the sen- ior play and aided in the selection of class rings. Those final exams came, all too soon, in May-and we really began in earn- est to s'tudy. After completing them, our class presented a playlet, The Cat's Whiskers , on the morning of May 28, for the pleasure of the departing seniors. On the afternoon of the same day we juniors had a thrill that comes but once in a high school career, in fact, but once in a lifetimeg for the first time we occupied the seats of the seniors, and thrilled with pardonable pride. Now we no longer had to stretch our necks to see over the tall students in front of us. This memorable exper- ience took place in Senior Assembly.
