Sanitary and Dietary Engineers The kitchen staff contemplates the day’s appetizers. ■ Our custodial and cafeteria staffs are the foundation of our school. They aided a great deal in the preparation for the initial evaluation of our school by the State Team of Evalua- tors. We are sure that the first impression was favorable due to their efforts. Two members of the custodial staff take a well-deserved break. The cafeteria workers prepare breakfast and lunch each day for many of the students. The custodial staff keeps our hall- ways and classrooms clean. Their hard work gives our school a neat, clean appearance. George and his office — models of custodial efficiency. 12

With the help of our administration and faculty, our high school underwent ten-year evaluation by the State Board of Education. Although an on-going process, evaluation by the visiting team during March marked the culmination of much toil, turmoil and burning of th e midnight oil. A major problem that faced our administration was the ending of the contract between Franklin City Public Schools and Southampton County Public Schools. This contract al- lowed students to attend either system’s school without cost to them. After much lobbying, a temporary agreement was settled which would let rising seniors continue in the school of their choice without extra cost during 1975-76. Our guidance counselors help the student with social, emo- tional, and academic problems, while our principals are mainly concerned with discipline and school management. Mrs. Holoman thinks a smile a day keeps the troubles away. Mr. Parker, one of our guidance counselors, doesn’t appear to have a worry in the world.

Mrs. Harris our Business co-ordinator, is up to her ears in work. Would you believe that our DE teacher Miss Congleton, is a former Miss Norfolk? Sometimes we have to let our clothes out a little, don’t we, Mrs. Hamlet? Business and Distributive Education It appears that leather jackets are part of the uniform of the DE teacher. Mrs. Felts demonstrates that a smile is a great asset. The Business department offers such courses as typing, bookkeeping, business, law, general business, shorthand and clerk-typing. These courses prepare the student for the world of work after graduation. Students enrolled in clerk-typing may spend a portion of their day working in an actual office. Our DE program was active in the state’s distributive education contest. Several titles were awarded to Frank- lin students. Second year DECA students work in down- town stores as part of their training. Mrs. Smith helps Debra set her tab. 13
