Today we looked into the largest section of the Log where we saw members of the SENIOR, JUNIOR, SOPHOMORE, and FRESHMAN classes.

foreword . . . When in a reminiscent mood, one likes to live again the memories of the past. He would like to put his reminiscences in a frame — keep them — look at them often. By means of photography, written words, a little worry and work, we have tried to record these memories in a book rather than in a frame. Here it is — your Log. Reviewing the pages of the first Log of Franklin High School, we live again that school year. To you we give the Faculty under whose direction you worked, played, and learned. We present the Freshmen — gay, bewildered at first; the Sophomores, finding themselves and entering into school life en masse; the jolly Juniors, the traditionally fun-loving jesters of the school; and the Seniors, trying to assume a mark of dignity and taking their places as leaders. Read these pages showing a year of your school days at Franklin High — smile — enjoy it — and we shall be satisfied. The Staff.

Dedication ♦ ♦ ♦ High school days are recalled through the memory of friends. To each of us, these friends are different, but to us there is one whom we have in common. Never too busy when we needed her, always there with needed advice, she will be remembered for her guidance and thoughtfulness. It is to this person who has made possible the publication of The Log whom we wish to pay tribute. With the addition of her subtle humor, she has corrected errors in copy, planned pictures, typed, approved and corrected all parts of the annual, pushed us on when we lagged, and never failed to help us at any time. It is with these tasks in mind and with deep appreciation of her services that we dedicate the 1948 Log to Mrs. V. D. Thorpe.
