CALENDAR Because of the earlier publication date this year, the Key saw only half the yearis activities. To record what has occurred is an easy task, but any attempt to foretell the future is difhcult, to say the least. The staff, therefore, apologizes in advance for any omissions. After a restful summer vacation, Franklin welcomed back her knowledge-seeking citizens. A better football team was a happy augury of a brilliant season in athletics. Determined to get the Keys out earlier than two weeks before graduation, the yearbook staffs were organized, and work on the yearbook was begun. The Variety Show was held to raise money for the Memorial Building Fund instead of for the Red Cross, in October. The class of '46 started its activities off with a get-acquainted dance in November. Our then unknown champs, the basketball team, opened the Season in a blaze of glory downing Aquinas in the traditional Thanksgiving Day opener. An ingenious plan put the teachers at the mercy of the pupils for the bond assembly. Listen in next year for the sequel to the Sullivan-Sabin soap serial and keep your eyes open for the Riley child-lovable 'KHowie Edwards. Trying their hardest to make a good impression, thc seniors brought their Best Foot For- wardi' in December. The drives continued as we gave our all to the Friendship Nursery and Carver House. Vacations were happier this year, for older brothers were coming home for Christ- masg dances were gayerg there was peace once more, Returning full of good resolutions, Franklinites faced a busy schedule: The cameras started clicking for Key pictures, the second term election of officers was heldg and the gloom of mid-term exams was dispelled. February--the month of great men and an extra holiday. Even St. Valentine had compe- tition when our victorious basketball team led by Coach Gersbach, captured the city champion- ship and our hearts. I From this point on, we can only chronicle those events that are somewhat assured. If when .Tune comes, certain events here listed have not taken place, or others of importance are omitted the fault lies not in our intentions but in that we lack the gift of second sight. March blew in with happenings of note. The Red Cross drive got under way. The annually impressive National Honor Society induction was held, and the spring play, Seven Keys to Baldpaten, added a touch of mystery to our lives. Following up the very successful conference they sponsored last year, the Social Science Forum held another Inter-High Conference on Race Relations. Easter brought a brief respite. Somewhere in late April or early hfay spring sports began. State and Scholastic exams had a sobering influence as they brought tl1e realization that June was very near at hand. June-the high point of our years. Franklin Day, Senior Banquet, Senior Day, and gradu- ation. All our school years have been a happy prelude to these days. How impatiently we have awaited them-only to realize now that they are at hand how hard it is to say good-bye.

The committee for the Handbook has worked diligently and pains- takingly on a new edition of our Franklin almanac. This will be a valuable factor in introducing incoming students more rapidly and more thoroughly to Franklin procedure and tradition. 28
