By the second week of our junior year we were busily working in the concessions at the football field. Some of our willing workers found it quite a feat to sell hot dogs and watch the game at the same time. Nine juniors were out there defending FHS. Some of us sold candy and pop at the basketball games while others were getting in their share of plays on the floor. By this time we had grown up enough to stage the play, Meet Me in St. Louis . We still smile as we remember Mary Baker and Sue Riddle in their long dresses, black stockings and high button shoes, and the roar that went up from the audience as Mary tried to bite Dick Gillingham's leg, or the party that followed on the last night of the performance. The hard working play cast was soon retplaced by an equally hard working prom committee. After numerous meetings a fairyland theme was chosen. Then ollowed long hours of making pro rams, drawing the never to be forf gotten pictures of Puss in Boots, Cinderella, and many others. These pictures, abfy drawn by Rick Bleakley assisted by other members of the committee, adomed the walls of the gym the night of the dance and were later carefully laid to rest in the third floor for future generations to admire.

NOVEMBER 1950 AT OUR FIRST CLASS MEETING in the balcony of the Auditorium we elected the following class ofiiers: Jay Rhoads as president, Dick Haggerty as vicefpresident, Charlotte Serge as secretary, and John Harris as treasurer. These officers served faithfully and well and were refelected for our Junior year. We sponsored several successful projects in 1948. First of our class projects was selling homefmade candy at the plays and the Broadcast. Basketball schedules and pencils were sold at the games and the amount in our treasury gradually increased. In the second semester of our Sophomore year we held our first dance, The Apple Blossom Frolicn and danced to the tunes played by the FHS Swing Band. The gym was attractively decorated in keeping with the theme. During the intermission the dancers were entertained by a floor show. Guy Stallone, already beginning to be noticed for his sin ing ability, rendered a solo, accompanied by Ginny Gramlich, who amused the audience by being dressed in the garb of an old fat farm lady, Norman Beals rendered a selection on his musical saw, and Mary Ann Wiegel enter' tained with a ballet dance. After an evening of fun and dancing everyone left the frolic with a light heart. The many talented members of our class were gaining more recognition, and preparing for the leadership we were looking forward to in the next two years. As Sophomores, Ed Wible and jay Rhoads attended the football banquet and received letters for defending FHS on the gridiron. Qs ROW IAM. Gregory, R. Fulmer, A. Knooihuizen, L. Heffernan, M. Baker, F.

DECEMBER 1950 THE LONG ANTICIPATED EVENING OF THE PROM finally arrived and found Betty Lou Anderf son and Bill McGuckin as queen and king. The court consisted of Jim McBride, Mary Baker, Jay Rhoads, and Sally Morris with Larry Morris and Peggy McDowell as crown bearers. At the beginning of the second semester of our Junior year, Bill Gaiser, Peg Walz, Pat Brown, Dick Haggerty, Sue Riddle, Barbara Porter, and Charlotte Serge were honored by being asked to become members of the Franklin Chap' ter of the National Honor Society. Bill Gaiser and Peg Walz served as president and secretary during their Senior year. On the Hfth day of September, 1950, we embarked upon our last lap of the long and toilsome journey with a company of 136. However, a few, eager to venture into matrimony, left us during the year. We missed one whole assembly when we met in the gym the first week of our Senior year to iron out a few important problems. Officers emerging successfully from the election that day were Jay Rhoads, president, Charlotte Serge, secretary, John Harris, treasurerg and a tie between Jim McBride and Dick Haggerty for the vicefpresidency. After casting the votes over again Jim McBride was elected. At the meeting the class chose white and maroon as the class colors and decided the girls' robes for graduation should be white and the boys' maroon. Following this meeting the yearbook staff selected a cover of maroon and def cided that the Franklinite for 1951 should be a diary of our year s activities. Three successful record hops were held after the football games. Early in the fall we ordered an assortment of Christmas cards to sell, and you could always pick out the Seniors as they went about burdened with an armload of samples. ROW 1-B. Fleming, N. Good, S.
