S.C.A. Guides Student Activity w p ' £ 1 1 livT 1 I ’ 1 - ; 4 I The Student Cooperative Association strives to bring faculty and students closer together, to solve everyday problems, and to inflict within the student body a feel- ing of school spirit by sponsoring several projects. The homecoming dance, the faculty basketball game, and the Christmas door-decoration contest were such pro- jects. During the student elections for the S.C.A. officers, every student familiarizes himself with campaign speech- es, slogans, and the methods of voting. This is even more educational for those running for the offices, for they are taking an early step in politics. Best of all, a student in the S.C.A. can learn to think for himself and to express his ideas freely. This training helps him face the outside world with more under- standing and responsibility. Students in the S.C.A. help in decorating for the annual homecoming dance. Before school started, S.C.A. officers served drinks to the teachers who were busily preparing for the opening of school. Members of the S.C.A. decorate the Christmas tree in front of the auditorium at Christmas.

Athletic Participation Encourages Sportsmanship The physical education department at Franklin High School helps students grow physically. It is a belief of the school that a student should develop physically as well as mentally. Students develop a sense of sports- manship and team spirit. They can become skillful in individual or team sports which may lead them to participate in further sports activities. Students are also taught pro- per hygiene which helps them form good health habits for later life. These classes con- tribute not only in building healthy bodies but also provide a needed break between academic classes. Three years of physical education are re- quired, but some students continue this ex- cellent training in their other years of high school. Physical education classes evidence the school’s belief in physical as well as mental development. The training from these classes contributes to the versatility of the students. These activities give students the proper amount of physical activity required for a balanced physical fitness program. Second period girls’ gym class participates in their daily athletic activities.
