Sophomores MANY CLUBS AND ACTIVITIES that had been closed to the Sophomores were chosen this year. The many who were active in these organizationsAtoo many to name all of themfshowed that the Class of 1953 is going to be an outstanding one in many fields. Sandra Richards and Ruth Weiss became members of the Debate Club, and George Norton and John Eshelman were initiated into I'IifY. Whenever a play or concert was given by students, Anita Power, Norma Keil, Jon Davies, Peggy Stallone, and Jim Vergis, members of the Courtesy Club, were on hand to assist in seating the audience. Bob Cranford, Linda Barnicle and Linda Heckathorne were among the Sophomore representatives who worked hard and long on the projects of the Junior Red Cross. Janet Laughner, Carolyn Rebert, Jim Runninger and Jean Clark were only a few of our class who represented their home rooms on the Student Council and Jean Clark served on the Public Relations Committee which has done such good work each year at the time of the FranklinfOil City football game. Among the Sophomores who worked on the Projectors Club and Stage Crew were Jim Runninger, Jim Gramlich, and Jim Fleming. Faye Rhoads and Betty Lou Morrison were members of the Broadcast Staff. The Sophomore class was well represented in all the musical organizations. Allan Pedley, Don McCullough and Linda Barnicle were in the band, Coyla Ritz in the Orchestra, Mary Marshinke, Peggy Stallone, Jim Harris, Gerry McFarland, Chuck Bennett and Ruth Weiss in A Cappella, Jim Henson, Wayne Crisman and Bob Maul in Boys' Glee Club, to name only a few. We were active in many sports also. Many of us participated in Girls' and Boys' basketball and Intramural teams, we had representatives on both JV and Varsity football, and the cheerleaders were tops. We have put forth a great effort to surpass the sophomores of earlier years. During the next two years we will take our places as leaders of the school and activities. We hope that our work this year will help us to bring honor to our class and school. 'Ac ROW 1-A. Power, B. Snyder, R. Shouey, J. Neider, D. Wheeling, S. Welshans, M. Wilmouth, C. Wilkins, V.

FEBRUARY 1951 a-11 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Dean Crawford, treasurerg lack Adams, secretary, Kay Dale, vicefpresident, Dick Manson, president. Dear Diary, When we first entered the seventh grade, most of us were awed by the confusing halls, the many classrooms and the older students. We felt important though, because we, at last, were students of Franklin High. It didn't take us long to get acquainted and I remember how proud we were of Nancy Wiegel and Barbie Cealy when they appeared in the Musical Broadcast. The next year many of our classmates entered the band and orchestra. As freshmen six of our class were chosen cheerleaders, P. Butters, D. Boughner, M. McGrew, B. Gealy, A. Monarch and N. Wiegel. It seemed to us that every' thing was going faster. In our sophomore year we elected oilicers for the first time, and with Mr. Newell as adviser, we enjoyed a sucf cessful year and built up our finances by selling basketball schedule pencils everywhere, and candy at the plays. Qs A committee was chosen to select class rings. We brought our year to a close with the spring dance called A Dreamer's Holiday . , Time flies right along and here we are Juniors! The first thing we did W2 T was organize committees to sell hot dogs and refreshments at the football games. The kids really hustled and bustled seeing that everyone got hot coifee and candy bars too. The following juniors helped to sellg K. Dale, A. Monarch and A. Colella, chairmen, R. Metz, H. Grove, S. McFetf ridge, C. Hawkins, M. Morrison, P. Heller, J. Findlay, O. Morrison, M. Stefanakos, D. Green, D. Sterns, A. Brown, S. Brown, D. Ahearn, P. McFarlane, M. Skelton, B. Wolfe, S. Cubbison, A. Brookhauser, C. Foreman, E. Warner, R. Farren, A. Timmis, F. Greggs, B. Gildenston, B. Ritz. These sales brought us profit and helped us pay expenses. Then we elected our ofhcers, whose pictures are shown above. Our class rings arrived. Maybe we're prejudiced, but we think they're the neatest ever. There were several class meetings during the year. At these meetings we learned new committees on which we were to serve, and heard reports about the progress of class work. Mr. Newell, Adviser
