Tl-IE FRANKLIN CALENDAR September 1944-After a strenuous T summer of helping the war effort, we returned to the comparative quiet of Franklin and the alleged distinctive of being seniors. The Key Staff was organized, the clubs got under way, the Teen Canteen prepared for a busy sea- song and incoming students pro- rrur .W ceeded to get lost all over the place. CARLTON JOSEPH BETTY ZETTLEMOYER GULLO RILEY October 1944-The football season opened with unusually enthusiastic student support. The Honor Societies elected officers. The Student Government began its work, and several dances started the social season off with a bang. November 1944-AThe Bond Drive and the Memorial Scholarship Campaign gave November an appropri- ately patriotic air. Franchot Tone charmed feminine Franl-:linites and helped to boost the bond sales. The cast started rehearsing for the Senior Play. December 1944-The Senior Play delighted the biggest audience ever. Plans were made for a Christmas dance, but the snow came, schools closed, and all social activities stopped. No one had to dream of a white Christmas. january 1945-We had our senior danceg a few unfortunates had to take regentsg student officers were electedg and we had ertered on our last arm. Miss Clary took a half-year leave much to the sorrow of her senior English class. February 1945-Even snow storms brought some good. To us it was the opening of school one-half hour later. This has made it pos- sible for many of us to get to school on time and in one piece. March 1945-National Honor So- ciety inductions, our variety show, W the Red Cross Drive, and the ap- I proach of Spring brightened our days. April 1945-Spring came, and we were overjoyed at the unexpected Easter vacation. 4' JAMES AUGUST GRACE Wssrcorr MIALE Gloaoro ' May 1945-State scholarship exams troubled our brighter minds, Franklin Day was celebrated in the traditional manner, and june regents began to darken our horizon. june 1945-Senior Day, final exams . . . graduation. . . and happy memories. 26

Last Fall our staff was chosen and began with great enthusiasm to plan this book. After many hours and much labor we had the dummy ready to be submitted for bids. At this point our woes began in earnest. Wliat to cut? How to meet the budget? That being settled, we moved on to our next task- getting the pictures taken. Then came more writinr and revision and so far on into the ear. We can onl ho we that the book t 5 U I r Y Y pleases you. lf it does, the staff will consider that it has labored to good purpose. Our artists worked sueedil and well. Wfhatever ou en'o in this book will vrobabl be due lar vel to , , l Y Y I Y Y 3- Y their efforts. But for the faithful and intelli vent work of all branches of the business staff, there would be no book. . 5 . . . They broke all records both in the number of books sold and the amount of advertising obtained. And last but not least, we wish to thank Estelle Miller, who typed most of this material, and Roland Ewing, our gifted and faithful photographer. To their skill and hard work the Key owes much. 28
