Many of the townspeople do not have children that have to walk up the path to school every day. In the winter the path is always all slush andwater. The students do not mind it so much in the winter because they have to wear boots anyway, but why should we have to wear boots all spring just to walk up the school path? These conditions are very inconvenient for the grade school teachers, because their little pupils are bound to rlay in the path The mud stains clothes very easily, or even spoils them so they cannot be worn again. It seems to me that the town could pay the little sum of money it would cost to either black-top the walk or make a cement walk to the school house. This would also help the janitor greatly because he wouldn’t have so much mud to clean up, I have walked that path for twelve yeacs and it has always been the same way. Let’s see if we can’t fix it up for the stu- dents that will come back in the fall. They would all appreciate it very much I’m sure. Alice Magnant ’61 FRIENDSHIP Have you ever thought about what friendship is and what true friends can mean to each other? Just stop and thitek about it for a minute. Take for instance the person you consider your closest friend and answer these questions. 1, Do you talk things over ith him or her and feel that the conversation will not be repeated? 2, Does he or she understand you? 3, Will he or she stick by you in times of trouble when no one else will? If you can hosestly say yes to these questions, then you have a real friend. Having good friends isn't good enough. You have to be yourself,just as good a friend in return.

To me it is a close relation- ship between two people—people who are happy when something nice happens to the other or feels badly and shares the others sadness when a hardship befalls him. You must have heard the saying A friend in need is a friend indeed . How true this is.. Some people will have nothing to do with you until they want something.. Then watch out. Are you that kind of person? Most of us are inclinded to be a little that way. The only thing we can do is to try to correct it. Don't be one of these people who is friendly one minute and talks behind your back the next. Be one whom everybody likes and trusts. Don't make a point of being friendly with just a certain group; include everybody, I think Franklin is one of the best schools there is about including everyone in everything. Everyone here is treated the same and it's something to be proud of. You may think you have a good many friends and maybe you do. But if you lose one over a silly little disagreement, don't say, who cares? I've got plenty more friends. A good friend is something warm and good and too valuable to lose. You can never have too many. Uas-t EemembsT,. abova.all, that true friends are hard to find and when you are fortunate enough to find one, never lose him. Brenda Mayo '62 ARE SCHOOL SPORTS IMPORTANT? Every school whether it is high school or college, has some kind of a sport. But you must have high school sports, before you can qualify for the college sports. The main sports of small high schools in Vermont are baseball and basketball. There are different leugues depending on the size and location of the school. There are, of course, pros and cons for high school sports. Most people feel that the sports are - ery important to a stud- ent. Sports provide opportunities to get along with people and to make new friends. Boys and girls who participate are taught not only to play to win, but to take a loss without giving alibis, and if they win, not to praise themselves. The exercise derived from sports is very important to young adults. It keeps th’em in good physical condition. Sports also bring about leadership. In other words they help you in your adult life. The people against high school sports say that students go to school just for that reason and not to study. And of course, in some cases that is true. Yet as long as they are passing they are getting a high school education. And if they couldn't take oart in sports they might not even go to school. Most boys that participate in . , sports are average or above average students. Most people that are against soorts have never participated in sports in high school and they don't sea why other people should. Yet, they could have par- ticipated if they had wanted to. College sports take on from high school sports. You are older and you play with and against boys that are older too. Colleges have several different sports, the main ones being football, basketball, track and skiing. Some colleges also have hockey teams. In college the stakes are greater, because if you are good enough you can be- come a professional player. Some boys who go to college shouldn't be there as far as studying goes. They are given a scholarship for being such a good player in high school athletics. Most people think that good college athletae if en't good students. But if they would just think, boys can't be tbo stupid if they can learn to play basketball or football. They have to think fast in either. In the long run high school and college sports prepare you for the future, how to get along with other people, to make new friends, and to be leaders. There will always be good athlets, whether they are good students or not. Gary Messier '61 LETTER TO THE EDITOR Now that spring seems upon us, and winter is fading away, in the background a certain restlessness pervades over the school. Softball seems to be the main topic of conversation for the girls, and the boys can be seen during noon hours doing windsprints or playing toss and catch, in anticipation of the coming baseball season. Although a good percent of the student body will be taking an active part in these extracfarricahr activities, this does not mean there is not a place for the rest of students. When the games start a great deal of morale boosting and audio supoort will be needed. In the last two or three years there has been an alarming attitude of defeatism among a good percent of the student body and it has spread to some members of the faculty. In order to win, a team, in this position, not only has to boat the opposing team but has to break down psychological barriers set up by its classmates. Both teams have winning potential but they need a lot of help from the student body. Let's not sit back and make sarcastic re- narks about the ability of the two teams, but get behind then now with our moral support, and when the games come around get out and cheer in anticipation of a winning team.

The flowers were all asleep in the ground so still. The birds were all nestled in the trees high above. As the sun shown down in its fondest love. It was so warm on those tiny living things, It brought all the joy that only spring brings. The sun smiled down on the mountains so high. It gave its good wishes to the winter passing' by. It silently rose over the fields of brown And loft its warmth in tho cool, rich ground. It melted the ice on the tiny, little stream. And the stream seemed to smile and then to beam. Its rays burst forth on wild animals large and small. And a feeling of joy and hope came from all. For at last the hard winter had once again fended. Tho time of struggle and toil had again ended. Spring had now come in all its glory And this happy thought is the end of my story. Brenda Mayo 62 OUR BASEBALL TEAM Our baseball team is often critized, The people of Franklin often remark They must bo hypnotized. This team I talk about often starts out ahead. Until tho fifth inning when our faces get red. And the scores start stacking for the other team instead. Wo begin then to realize it is tho spirit behind. Not tho runs nor the scores. Which makes our toam best in any loaguesman's mind.

John Chalifoux 61 POEM Spring is just around the bends Bringing all its joys and friends Bringing warmth; bringing health; Bringing all its love and wealth. Gary Rice � 62 A poem I have tried to write But from mo my thoughts all took flight. I sit and wonder what I'll do; My mind is blurry and ideas are few. I can think of one that's not too bad, it seems. But I found it in some magazines. I know copying is strictly taboo. So I guess this will have to do. Herman Benjamin 61 BELIEVE IN YOURSELF Sometimes in this life of ours All is not sweetness and flowers; We have to learn to live and strive And make the best of our lives. Decisions hard that we must make Only help us to awake To the things which we must do That will make our dreams come true. When it seems your future's growing dim Remember to have faith in Him. He will always help you through All the things that bother you. When the time comes. As the time will. To decide to go on or to stay still. Do what you know is in your heart. And then from your dreams never depart.

Heck Ma, he won't hur'cha. 'Member you was scared of Zeke, my pet snake, Edgar the frog, and Murtle the big snapping turtle, but they didn't hur'cha none. You mean they didn't hurt me at all, corrected Mother who was trying to shy away from the skunk. See, Ma. 1. knew you'd agree with me. How it all happened is hard to tell, but right then Sam, their new puppie, came running into the bathroom and got Pete excited. In five minutes Jamey was tack in the bathtub and Pete was out doors. Jamey whispered out the window to Pete. Thanks,Pete, You did a bang-up job. What Jamey didn't know was that mother and dad were smilingly listening to him outside the door. Well, said dad good naturedly, I guess we won't suggest another trip to the city. No, laughed Mother, I don't want to meet up with Pete again for a while. Brenda Mayo '62 10 The Randle House of Horror In this dark house that hath fortold Of many Randle's horrible lives. Out back they all lie now so cold With only the pine tree's groans and sighs. They, all terrible deeds of death did do - Such things as murders and suicide - And now all dead-this bloody crew; Old Josh hung for patricide. Do not our interred remains disturb Or we will rise and haunt once more - Our hands all smeared with bloody gore, Bangl Slaml Bangl and then all was quiet in the dirty, dark, gloomy, old Randle house, A white transparent luminous shadow arose from the area of a grey picketed inclosure in which tall bone white memorials stood evidence of the resting place of the remains of the terrible clan the Randles. That ghastly white shadow seemed transfix- ed for a moment as if remembering something and then it opened a red maw of a mouth and uttered a heinous sound that began at a low scale and ascended to a high lilting cresendo, It’s a rather large house, remarked Ron Jackson to the Real estate Agent, it is certainly a handyman's dream. The sun was warm with a caressing breeze that smelled of the freshly bloomed lilacs and there were tall scented pines in front of the old house and in back a rather bleak but quaint old cemetery where the remains of old Josh Randle had been laid but a month ago. Ron thought to himself that tho old cemetery would just have to go, but then, he didn't have the moral right to remove it so he would just have to make it as presentable as possible. His mind soon wandered to more pressing problems such as the leaky roof and the broken windows for soon there would be a new bride in this old house and he must make it as homey as possible. It was so horribly dark that the old house seomed to be smothered in a dark velvet cloak. The only light came from the marsh where the will-o- the-wisp gave one the impression of a lost man with a lamp looking for his way or for some lost thing possibly, his soul. It was in this forboding atmosphere that the young Mrs. Jackson tried to ■_ quiet her pretty two year old child. The child was a little girl with long blonde ringlets and shining blue eyes that sparkled when she laughed, bringing to attention the dimples in her cheeks. It was strange that ever since Ron had changed his mind and had the old cemetery removed their little girl had been unable to sleep on nights like this. She said that strange shadows were alwajrs lurking over her crib reaching for her when she would awaken but would disappear as soon as she cried for her mother. These grim specters became more and more real as the days went by. Her husband built a small arti- ficial pond where the cemetery once stood and a few weeks before as the light waned in the west, Rover, the German Police watch dog, was seen to jump into the pond and when Ron got to the back of the house the dog was dead, not of drowning for it stood stiff-in the'shallow pond, its .black fur turnod a deathly grey white • ..n Vi. .

Doors banged shut mysteriously and shutters groaned in the wind. There were strange sounds in the attic at night scrapping rasping, grinding sounds. One afternoon while Ron was in town and she was cleaning the upstairs bedrooms she heard her little girl screaming. In her frantic haste she mistook the sound to be coming from outdoors only to realize as she rushed into the yard that it came from the dark, grimmy, o3d cellar. She rushed down into the unused cellar, nearly falling on the rotten stairs. She found her daughter in a state of shock, staring at the open mouth of an old closet where a huge skelton was hanging by rusty chains to the back of the closet. It was nearly seven feet tall and had, by the grotesque way that it hung, died slowly and in a terrible manner. The police identified the grim spector as the huge Negro servant the Randids kept to keep visitors away. He had not been seen for a full year before old Josh has been hanged but it was his written testimony mailed to the police that had started the investigation of old Josh. Ron and his wife and child built a small house in town and for years nobody went near the old RandLl' house. The many years later, on a dare, a group of brash young teenagers went to investigate the old place. The house had rotted to the ground and the grounds were grown over with bushes and briars, but in the back of the old ruins they found a rectangular space as clean and neat as if someone wepetaking care of it. In the center of this clearing was a little pond. They moved to the edge of the water and one of the girls gave a percing scream and pointed out into the water; there before their eyes, ris- ing out of the water, was a large, bloodly, gory hand.

One day Fanner Jones and Johnnie Iaorgan were out looking for gold. They came upon an old shack and decided to go in and look around. While Farmer Jones was looking, Johnnie fell and caught his log in a brocken board in the floor, Farmer Jones vas heloing him up 'hen Johnnie's foot felt something big. It vas a rock. Farmer Jones examined it for a few minutes then shouted, It's gold! It's gold! Are you sure? asked Johnnie? Of course, I am, said Farmer Jones. I can tell gold when I see it. We’re rich! We’re rich! shouted Johnnie. So they went home for lunch; then they returned to the shack, gathered up their tools and rode out to find the mine. It took them about an hour to find it. Farmer Jones saw the gold and started to dig. It wasn't long before everything cane falling in on them, and they were trapped. Trapped in the cave and no one knew it, Johnnie's horse, Trigger, knowing something was wrong, ran home to get help. Mrs. Morgan was very much alarmed. Thinking something had happened at the mine she telephoned for help. Within an half hour men v.'ere at the cave. Meanwhile, in the cave, Johnnie and Farmer Jones could barely stand it. Mow gas was coming in somev here. They heard noises and they new some one was digging them out. After thirty minutes the men had a small opening which was big enough for Farmer Jones and Johnnie to crawl through. Farmer Jones sent a piece of the rock io the laboratory to be tested. As soon as he received the letter he rode over to tell Johnnie the nows. Son , said Farmer Jones, we're not rich after all. ,r, hy not? asked Johnnie. It's fool’s gold, remarked the old man. But you said it was gold, shouted Johnnie. Yes I did, said Farmer Jones, but I guess people are never to old too make a fool of themselves. ♦sr Ile i: • v • nol Tams'? b - ’ r ' 1 993 I ns: • - «..c -f ■ ?-“w • ‘ w� qq;:T: .fcg ■«•■■• 'tr .

At 11:30 Joe' and I wore still tracking. We had just decided to stop for dinner and continue at 1:30 when something unusual hap- pened. We ran across a dead deer, but it had been dead for some time , ® the odor didn't givo us much encouragement r . we continued tracking.

At,5:30 I was ready to give up completely, vhen I heard a rustling of branches and leaves. Looking to my left I saw a herd of some twenty-five deer. And then my eyes struck that twelve pointer I 1 The other deer hustled around tin as though they were all mothers to him. Then in a secend the big fellow dropped to the ground; I had caught up wilh him. When I started out to the dead deer something odd happened. One of the deer, another buck, started at me. I piokc-d up my gun ready to cockpit when it jammed; I threw thu gun down and started running I climbed the nearest tree. The buck started taking his ho.'ma and rubbing the tree. Being a small tree it swayed back ind forth. I was a ball and the deer a bat. I hollered fo:? Joe to come, but he was out of hearing. Night fell and ths bucj: remained. Right then I wished I wot'o back with the juys eating that rotten cooking of mine, instead of being up a tree with just bark to eat. It was a long hard night, but lawn finally came . at 8:30, Fred and Joe were there to snoot the deer and rescue me. Bo I skinned my well earned deer and went back to the car, the boys kidded me all the wa home, because I was put up a tree by a deer. This was a day in deer hunting 1 will never forget, Gary Lothian '62 Our Vermont Legislature as I Saw It We arrived at the State Capitol amidst sighs of relief from drivers. Although the trip w is rather long, the scenery along the new Vermont Interstate was beautiful. Although we did not know it at the time our trip down was more inspiring that our Legislative session. During the two and a half hours I sat in the balcony of tfte Legislative Hall it seemed to me that very little was accomplished, except it was announced that two enterprizing page-boys had enough energy to set up a shoe-shine stand which seemed a worthwhile project for young Vermonters. In my opinion there are too many Legislators for the amount of work that needs to be done in this small state of Vermont. Many bills are read two or even three times with- out being voted upon or reconsidered, therefore wasting the taxpayers' money.

That car, more than any material possession , sets you and the American way of life apart from all the world's peoples. To their wondering, hungering eyes, your automobile is the symbol of your power, the proof of your prosperity and the fact of your freedom. That fact ms an ironic as well as happy one, because the automobile in origin, was J'iot American at all. It was born in Europe. Eut S'10 Anroa'icvisaa put the world on wheels. Today, the American and his car are as inseparable as the colonist of earlier days and his musket. The American travels and eats in his car. He goes to the bank, the movie, and even to church in his car. Ten million American employed in the nation earn their living from some part of the highway trans- port industry. More significantly, the Great American Auto- mobile has erased the barriers of regionlism and sectional- ism. It has made a meighborhood of a nation. It has re- volutionized Americanliving— socially, culturally, econom- ically, sind politically. ziaoTnq era «a XJ j od UtedA) «EXsB baa useiiuioa ov H , ..:-•{ • p� v ’• � , i i-.i '-'tto xtcx odcf j e i)3 oIqui ; ex 03' tvst tod anbuxs'C ... ,yf ,xiv- iIA . jt’-ru. : yiw ' --i-i -”i «u ua v jw eu.tfll -iau; xtjc noxi ,T r- ■� sit ow aiertt ofi' .aujdrwd Linda ’ .aalqo q e'blrow edt lie moil t-J9ca el' . f1- to W -a XX ''' u :•.: . j . ; • +fii.n 3 tit:'-, hi ,XX J J £ XLEO h t .riA ., . .aleerlw no i)Iiow ed iuq mmiksi-msuL --1 • 9d aeLbf° 'Lq } -■ U ■ .1 tiffs ZlttSSm ■ i •■! •� . : ;vf. i 26 The great American, Automobilb also epitomizes the Great American Dream. The jet plane, the atomic submarine, the rocket ship, and the space satellite-all these are triumphs for the elite who created them and the specialists who command them. But the automobile is a magic carpet for the millions, the personal chariot of Mr. American, drawn by 200 plus horses in a comfort and style no king of old could ever command� Like many great works, the auto started slowly, nurtured by a clique of noncomformists. When the pent-up wartime desire for cars burst out in the first big post-war year of 1946, the auto industry was off and running on its most phenomenal decade In the last ten years, the number of autos on U.S. roads has jumped from 28 million to 51 million. Virtually the only automobile statistic that hasn't grown by leaps and bounds is the number of makes - the mortality rate of auto name plates has been fearful.

We were escorted through the new building, which has five floors and a total floor area of 325,000 square feet. We started our tour on the basement floor which is oc- cupied by heating systems. From here our guide showed us to the fifth floor which is at this time unoccupied. There are ho partitions and we were able to get a rough idea of the vast- ness of the building-. From here we started down to the fourth floor which is occupied by offices such as printing. On the third floor we were amazed by the large number of typists and secretaries. (There are more than 1,000 employees.) The second floor con- tains a model of the first National Life Office. On this floor the president and the board of directors have their offices. They have a beautiful cafeteria and a dining salon, which are equipped with modem untilities. We enjoyed not only the building itself but the marvel- ous view which it has overlooking the «apital city. Madeline Fields '64 Doctor: Have an accident? Herman: No thanks 1 I just had one.
