The work of the custodial staff requires many tiring hours. Long after the school day ends these people continue to work to make our school look like the lovely school it is. The floors are kept clean, the windows are kept shining, and the blackboards are washed. The custodial staff helps greatly in creating a much more pleasant environment for study. The school’s student body owes much to these workers. The cafeteria staff works hard to prepare nourishing meals for the students. The cafeteria staff works industriously to prepare wholesome meals for the students. For convenience and variety two different plates are served each day. Mrs. Cox and her staff work diligently to prepare the most economical and nourishing meals so that the students can better greet the rest of the day. The students consider this group of workers a very important part of the school.

THE OFFICE STAFF The administration is a very important key in the running of a school. Mr. Davis and Mr. Lassiter head this group. Helping them is Mrs. Hundley, who works to aid students overcome their problems and to help make plans for their future.

The Community and School On November 26, the annual football banquet was held in the school cafeteria. The purpose of the occasion was to recognize the out- standing players on the football team. About one hundred-fifty play- ers, parents, and fans were present to hear Mr. Ed Booth, the Norfolk Neptunes offensive coach and for- mer coach of Franklin High School. His speech on the experiences he has had as coach for a professional ball team was as interesting as it was informative. Coach Mathews addresses those attending the annual football banquet. The Parent Teachers Association is a volunteer organization that unites the forces of home, school, and community on behalf of chil- dren and youth. The Parent Teach- ers Association offers a variety of entertaining programs. Often an in- teresting person, may be a top political figure or even a teacher in our own high school, speaks at these programs. The band and chorus add greatly to the programs as does the annual open house. The PTA is an important key in maintaining the good relationship of the school. Mr. Vess talks to the parents at open house. The Interact Club is an organiza- tion sponsored by the Franklin Rotary Club. Each fourth Thursday night the Interact members meet and have interesting programs. Dr. Birdsong, a Rotary Club member, attends these meetings and helps the club with their problems. The Interact Club sponsors several com- munity projects during the year. Buddy and Bob leave for the Rotary luncheon they are to attend. 28
