And Foster Cooperation The Hi-Y is a young men’s Christian organi- zation committed to a Christian purpose. With a motto of “Create, Maintain, and Extend”, the Hi-Y Iras had various service projects through- out the year. A hat and coat check was spon- sored at each home basketball game to help raise money for projects. At Christmas a food basket was sent to a needy family, and this year the Hi-Y “adopted” a foreign child. The club provided the boy with all necessary funds for clothing, food and education. Members of the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y assist at the registration table for their conference. The Tri-Hi-Y is affiliated with the YWCA of Franklin. Involved in varied projects, the Tri- Hi-Y has aided both school and community. Along with the Hi-Y, the Tri-Hi-Y was host to an area Hi-Y, Tri-Hi-Y Conference held here at Franklin High School which proved both ben- eficial and enjoyable to all who attended. Beaver Kannan serves as coordinator for the conference program. Two Pep Club Members decorate the hall with a spirit sign. The Pep Club promotes spirit for our school the year round. Posters are displayed in the halls before football and basketball games, raising the morale of all. Goal posts are dec- orated at the football fields before each home game. During basketball season large signs are placed in the gymnasium. At all sports compe- titions, the members of the Pep Club sit to- gether, thus showing their group enthusiasm for the Broncos. 25

Clubs Help Teach Responsibility Through their work with the school news- paper and the annual, budding journalists learn what it means to strive to meet dead-lines. They also learn how to develop a sense of discern- ment between the important and the trivial, and are inspired to sharpen their creative in- stincts. Mr. Vess offers assistance to Sidney Dodson and Candy Beaman in pictun choice and lay-out for THE LOG. THE BRONCO BULLETIN, our newspaper, is published every six weeks. It contains news and photographs of current events and topics of that six weeks. Humor is sprinkled liberally throughout. Eeature stories on colleges, gradu- ating seniors and outstanding athletic students are included from time to time. A happy group of newspaper staff members review the newest edition of THE BRONCO BULLETIN. THE LOG has as one of its goals the faithful recording of the events of the year through pictures and copy. Published by a represen- tative section of the student body, it teaches economics, cooperation, writing, leadership, and effective use of leisure time. Needless to say, it also gives a great sense of accomplish- ment and pleasure. Pat Watson and Nancy Underwood sort pictures for a page of candid shots f THE LOG. 24

Varied Activities Add Dell Young demonstrates some of the fundamentals of Algebra. The Drama Club, under the supervision of Mr. Clark was newly formed this year. Among their goals are a fostering of the Thespian Spirit, a heightening of the dramatic sense, and encouragement of the art of communication. Two of their plays were presented in neighboring communities. The Beta Club is an honorary society made up of students in the Junior and Senior classes who maintain an average of 90 or above, and who exhibit certain attributes of a desirable nature, such as worthiness of character and honor. The Beta Club provided student “tutors” this year to aid others in various courses. The highlight of the year is the annual Beta Club Convention in Roanoke which most members attend. Mr. Clark shows students how to use a tape recorder effectively. The Library Club, consisting of students interested in all phases of library work, has had quite a busy year. Mrs. Gadberry is assisted at some time by all members of the club. These students are active in the library during their study halls, lunch periods and after school. By working in the library, techniques and functions in maintaining a library are learned. Meeting once a month, the club engages in numerous activities, and are pre- sented many interesting programs. At the beginning of the year, experienced members offered to teach incoming members all aspects of their library work. With an increasing number of members, the Library Club continues to offer much to students. Dawn Hagan gives a report on good points in reading. Such programs are beneficial to all. 26
