In my estimation many of this c-saeration are net physi- cally fit. The reason I say this is because people are be- coming lazy,•'•sometimes not in- tentionally. If you compare yerr father's childhood with yours I think ycu will find a remarkable difference - partly because inventions have found ways of retting things done with hardly any effort. Also your father may not have had the conveniences you have. For instance, he probably would have to work for the little money he got while you go up to him now and say, Give me a quarter; I want a bottle of pop and som9 potato chips. And then you go home and' watch television. Does this sound familiar? While you are filling your face and doing nothing, your oaoher was orobably working and keeping in shape. Then you wonder why you are p-etting plump or just plain fat. It seems that you could figure out why. Automobiles have made a definite change in our lives. Fortv years ago you would have to walk, ride a horse,or_drive a team. Now you get ?nto a car and save your feet for the few tV.ios •.’.'• you ban not possibly find any ether means of transportation. One of uour reasons for be- ing pleasantly plump may be because we have no physical education program in our school. If ycu stop and think-in yar father's time there was not any either. All you have to do to solve this problem is to engage in sports, walk or do something that pertains to. exercise. Some peoole say they would so more exercising if they had the time. This is a poor ex- cuse. Wouldn't you rather- spend a few minutes a day .o exercise your muscles and haw a 1oncer, healthier life? Mary Lou Richard ’6I4. CLASS PLAYS One of the most important pro iects in school, to j point of thinking, is the class plays. They cive you u vivrid picture of waat it must be like on Broadway or other great entertainment areas. They also give you a better chance to get acquainted with vour teachers who work so t ard. trying to make yours th9 very best pla-1'’. And last, they give you the feeling that you belong to the class and have an active part in the participation of a school proj ect . The first step in putting on a olay is the nicking out and ordering of play books for which the student council paya Then we have to learn the different parts that each character has in the play and join them together to make a liferlike story. When every- one has learned his part comoletely, we start to per- form the different actions end movements that moke the pl3y seem life-like. After those have been accomplished and learned by heart, we are just about ready to step out on the ste e and perform the play for an audience. On the night of the play -2 everyone is nervous, at least in my opinion anyway, I know I am. But then the curtain rises and I seen to fall into the plot of the nley. I don't recover from this sooll until the ulay is over and then my happiness at hearing the ao- nlruse overcomes my nervous- ness. Last, everyone cores out to take a bow and, I'll .tell you this, you will never feel any more pride than you do at that moment for a job well done. Robert Magnant '63 JD!I What is JD ? It means breaking laws, taking part in crimes and violence. All teenagers are faced with the name JD;'. Although they c'o not earn it, it is apolied to them because of what only a few do. The P.B.I. Director J. Edgar Hoover says, America is facing an emergency, a crisis which threatens the very future of our nation. It is JUVENILE DELINQUENCY. Sixty per-cent of all major crimes in a recent year in- volved young neoole. One of every nine teenagers had con- tact Ttfith the Police because of criminal behavior In that year. Many girls' cases were runaways and truancies.- Practically 50 Per cent of the boys' crimes were larceny, vandalism, robbery, or burgla- ry. Illegal carrying of weap- ons, disorderly conduct, drunkenness, and use of narco- tics made up 10 per-cent of the boys' cases and 7 per-cent of the girls'. Do we want this record stamped on our names? The figures above are already there but we can prevent them from ri sing. We can lower them. Do not think that all JD's are bums from the slums. Because they are NOT! Many are rejected at home and look for acceotarce and recog- nition in the wrong friends. They are not limited to the lower class. They come from all calsses _ just average teens. Perhaps you feel you can't helo. We associate with many young people who are potential delinquents. We are on the same age level as they are; we work, play and associate with them. Many prosrrais, money and time is suent on this pro- blem, but we are the ones who can do the most. 39 friends; try to help, just don't ignore these people. The rate has decreased; but this does not mean we are free from the tragedy. In 1961 figures showed 1; oer cent drot in semiurban communities and an 18 Der cent increase in cities Don't oass up the three R's; by doing this you become one of many too many three U's. Unschooled, unskilled, and unemployed. With nothing to do many of these people turn to crime. Hence - JD . Do help this country's young people, our nation's future. Our teen-agers can be useful, intelligent leaders in our country's tomorrow. We need you. Don't make those figures climb; be one of the many striving to lower them. Laurel Stanley ' 6I4. 3 SCHOOL CURRICULUI This year, as in the past, all students were requested to select their subjects for the cowing school year, For west cl us it wasn’t too difficult, but for some it was ne:cb to impossible, The seniors cf '64 ware faced with, the prob- lem of finding enough courses to fill the reqvironient of tour class periods per day. The situation is nearly hope- less for those taking college preparatory courses. v?c are forced to settle- for subjects which do not interest us and which we don't need for cur college majors. Although I believe any course taken in school will be of seme use, the fact remains that seme other might be more suitable if it were offered. The problem here is lack of classrooms and teachers. This situation is an overwhelming problem. Franklin has an ex- cellant faculty, but they are terribly overworked, with some even resorting to double cJasses, This is not a happy state of affairs for teachers or students. However, we are net alone, Eve y small school in the state nas the same pro- blem; this being true., I sup- pose we must grin and bear it and JOyO for better days to ceme„ Carol Sweeney '64 TOWN il Last summer, after many cold winters, our school was given a new heating system. The teachers can now regulate the heat to the temperature they find is needed At first cur new furnace gave us a lot of trouble, but the school has been warmer and more comfort- able this year than in the past. Our school still needs im- proving The roof has leaked as long as I can remember. T e paint on the outside the school building is chipping off and if not repainted soon the boards; will soon begin to decay The virc fence -;bat limits the school grounds has always been a hazaic to the safety of the ''kids“, They are forever crossing the fence to get a tail, but. or some- thing else that has gcre ever the fence. About a month ago the little 31 shop h l was taken to the hospital because of a cut he received when he slipped and fell against the sharp barbs along the top of the fence. It has been ru- mored that the fence was pur- posely reversed to ’-eep the school children 'Oweoovog onto private property If you attend. fca.W'sui .y.rnior , you know as .ell as I do that the barbs do not stop them from crossing the fence. If this fence remains the way it is many more of the children downstairs will get hurt. Our town hall has also been improved. Cur stage has a new coat of paint for which we are grateful,but the work at the town hall is net yet completed. The selectmen plan to buy new curtains for the stage ro.i put new doors where they are needed. The tv n hell is had Tv in n ed of a new beating system. All winter it has never been warm enough for people to go to a school or town activity without freezing. The basket- ball teams nsed new dressing rooms. The boy J: present dressing room is less than a 4 foot or two from the furnace, with no partition betweeii They are so warm and messy v;e are ashamed to take the visiting teams there. Some people say that we ask for too much. I have just stated v;hat the town has done for us and what we would like to have done. We are thankful for what we have but there are still imiru v«_ nents to be made. Raymond Magnant '64 VALID CRITICISES OF OUR SCHOOL If our school could talk for itself I'm sure we'd hear many criticisms. Haybe they'd sound something like tliis- kany people walk around in- side of me bach day, and. of course I get dirty. The dirt may be from muddy shoes, and articles that some of the pu- pils drag into ray interior. Many 01 ycu bathe every day, but not me. My dirt just builds up daily, and some- times weekly. For a good look, as an example of this, pull out a bookcase n one of ny rooms. You never know what you may find. Futhermore, sene folks get the idea cf x ritii g on r� y desks or even on my walls. This not only tickles but spoils my ap- pearance. In short, if any of ycu pencil-laden, muddy- footed, little or big, crea- tures read what I have said, just think about it. adieu! Ch, now you know . here I have been eavesdropping. Ruth Myott '65 WHY ARE CHILDREN NOT WELL-BEHAVED? Children today just don't mind their parents as well as they used to. The main reason for this ,I think,is that wher- ever they turn someone is or- dering them around and soon they begin to resent it. Also the times have changed conaid- erab.’v since the time ox cur fo ikes' childhood. If they hadn minded their parents they ouid have expected to go to bed without their supper or else with a spanking. But today, there isn't a home without a child-care book in it, and also some mean mis- chief making youngsters. These child-care books tell you not to spank a child . for his wrong deeds, but to merely tell him the difference. This I do not believe in. I think if more children were spanked, and made to mind their parents they would respect other people and their property as they grow older, instesd of looking for more mischief, which could soon load to real trouble. Donna Peaslee 65 There were two microbes in the bloodstream of a horse, one in an artery and the other in a vein.

Polly Wright '64 THINK! A poem—what is it? Oh, I think. a piece of paper, Pen and ink. It doesn't matter If you're bright, As long as you think You can write. Anyone can write a poem! All that he Needs to do is think. Even I can—See! Carol Sweeney 64 I'M NOT A POET I could not think of a poem to write. I thunk and thunk 'til The Edge of Night . Then I awoks to the Brighter Day And hoped to find the right words to say. Then all of a sudden the Guiding Light Plashed by my window and I knew what to write: NOTHING!

I yawn and say, All Right i O.X,I I'll write a dilly, sonothing great. But now not even a line can I make! Right now I'm at my wit7s very end. So I'll find someone with a poem to lend.

While some People think that she is rare Other's say she is no square One day in a rainy mist My dear granny started to twist, She twisued all o er the dov- one place It was all I could do to keeD a smile from, my face. Then with one fantastic tvrirl She twisted right out of the world. And that was the last I saw of my dendy- And the world's first twistin' granny. Madeline Fields '6)4. DAY AND NIGHT I love the day; I love the night. But which is grander in my sight? This problem, I have pondered lone. And wondered as tne days went by, Pnd then the ight; and with a sigh, I wondered to which did God belong. The day is bright with sun and light; The night is long with a quiet fright. I wonder, while in my lonely cell, Which one, day or night, is where God doth dwell. Robert Magnant '63 I STOP 7 One night I asked for the Old Kan's car I s.id I wa3n't going too far. I drove down the road a mile or so And decided I was going too slow. I drove down by 01' Magpie's house- Didn't stop, I felt like a louse.

The air was stifling and she walked to the window to get a breath of air.. From this height of twenty stories she could look out ovei much of the city. Mow Y .rk was relatively uuiet on this night The lights of the a-,p v eoQildd vary jiyAt a- gair.st the black of the night. Chris felt a sudd an ro.vge of patriotism as she v atoned the city's ever changing f.ace.

They came from all walks of life, she imagined a .reat pageant of people of all nationalities, all pursu- ing their sep-rate ambitions. Chris looked at the clock again. It was 2:30 A.It. She climbed b-ck into bed with a sigh. Suddenly a terrific clap of thunder broke the si- lence, followed by lightning which seemed to be just out- side the window. Rain began to beat on the window pane. Faster and faster it came. Her first impulse was to puJL 8 the h'd cox ers ever her i-rad and v,.-y to gc hack to sleet), but ar.ether equally mag.:'-...- cent-, flash paralyzed her for a moment.. The thunder storm continued for some time and she tuued in her transistor radio to an all night jazz concert to drown out the thunder Shortly a nan’s voice announced, AH. p.inav in the city has been cut off by a break in the main cable. All residents are re- ciuested to stay where they are until the break can be located and repaired.'1 Chris sprang out of bed and ran to the window. The city w_iS completely dark except for the lights of the cars in tne street. Horns began to honk as motorists came to intersec- tions with no traffic lightf’. Traffic piled up with incred- ible speed. Hospitals wa; e without iron lungs or ]ights in busy operation rooms. People in night clubs and all nigr.t bars drank their one fc r the read” by candle light; then had another for luck. It was now 3'-30 A.M. The same voice again came over the radio, The break in the power line had been located and workmen are now at the scene. They hone to have the cable in working condition by daybreak’.’ The fury of the storm began to diminish at about 4 A.M. and by 5 A.M. the air was calm and cool again. It was very comfortable as the dawn broke in the east. This nignt was '•one in a million” but of the millions of people in the city probably not one regretted the daylight. Carol Sweeney '64 . . 9 Dear Pen-Pa? Hello., My name j.s Caroline I live in a big white house. Once a lot of men and women came and took lots of pictures ihey had funny boxes on wneels for cameras. They didn't look like my camera at all. They said the pictures would be on television sometime and we could watch them. Later I saw my house and Mommy on the television, daddy came on for a little while, too. Mommy says we'll live here four years. we will stay longer if daddy wins the next champagne. I don't know what that means. It takes a long time, daddy, Uncle Bob, Uncle Teddy and my other relatives make long talks to lots of people. I don't understand what they say, but I guess itfe important. My daddy is President. V.'hat is your daddy? Mine works in a big office with im- portant people coming to see him all day. I sit on the front steps and watch them ccme. They all smile and say hello to me but they never stop and talk. I guess they're all too busy. Some of them look funny but I don't laugh. mommy says that's wrong. t night sometimes I listen to daddy and liommy talk. A long time ago I heard daddy tell about a big fat man who took off his shoe and banged on the desk. I hope my daddy never does things like that. He says it's very rude for me to even take off my shoes at the table! Grown-up s sure act funny! I wonder if he told the man it was very im- polite to do that. Once daddy talked about the Cuban crisis. Lots of ships stopped differ- ent ships and seached them. When I play with my boats I pretend they're at the Cuban crisis. My boats are called PT 109's. do you have any boats? i like to listen to daddy talk, he sits in his big rocking chair. Everybody rocks! Sometimes they talk about goingt on a fifty mile hike. I don t tuink they will because they just sit there and rock! Sometimes I ride my pony, ..bcaacai, He's not very tall but he's fat and very nice, he likes to run on the back lawn. It's so big and green. Once in a while 1 ride with Mommy. She rides very good. She likes horses, too. Just like I do! Mommy's fun to ride with. She's nice. I have a little brother. His name is John. Everybody fusses over him. They all wonder who he looks like-Mom- my or daddy. I tnink he looks just like John. Grown-ups sure are funny. I'm not going to be funny when I grow-up. What are you going to be when you grow up? I want to be just like my baddy. Then I will live in a big house, sit in a leather chair that goes right around in a circle, have a big desk and lots of impor- tant people coming, to see me. daddy is very busy. Sometimes he comes in at night and reads us a bedtime story. I'm very tired at night because I play hard all day. • • I ; ' ..r � • i . - • .

MY FIRST PROFESSIONAL RACE Today was going to be a big day for me because I wa3 going to drive a 1963 Sting Ray in my .first professional stock car race against new Portiacs, Ford Thunderbirds, Dodges, and many other new car3. These cars are straight from the factory. Nothing has boon added to make them co faster, I woke up about five O'clock, ate breakfast and then went down to the track. The me- chanics wore already .th.vre checking my car. After they had 0 ini shed checking tse car I took it out rn the track and drove most of the forenoon. This was the first ti.m9 that I had ever driven on this track, V h6n I drove into the pits it was 11:30, so I ate dinner and came back to the track. When I arrived the car was a'UL...ready to go. I took it around the tracK a few times to warm it up and try it one more time before the race. About an hour before the race it began to rain;... making the track slippery and danger- ous. About 1:30 the cars be- gan to come out on to the track and gov. in startiner for- mation. The track was a ten mile course and the r 1� e was fifty laps. This moans chop- ping twice for refueling and changing tires. As I pulled onto the track all’sorts-of thiners raced through my mind. I was racing against exporir enced racers. Then before I knew it the flag went down and we were off. I was quick on the take-off and took the lead, but on the first earner three car3 flashed by. Then I decid- ed that I would nave to take the corners faster and keep on the inside as much as I could. Soon one of the cars dropped out, leaving two ahead of me. Then on the straight of way I again gained the lead. On the fifth Jap at the third corner I began sliding to the outside and almost off the track. Now the other two cars had passed me and it was impossible for me to met back into fireplace until the pit stoo. Or the fifteenth lap I was motioned into the pit where my car was refueled ar.d the tires were changed. Then two or thije laos later the other two cars pulled i ito the ’cits. Nowl was in the lead again. I stayed in this position for the rest of the race. Finally the last lap was coming up fast. AlasS About a hundred feet before the line one of my back tires blew out and I had all I could do to keep my car in the road. This slowed my hpood suddenly, and I wondered if I could make it to the fin- ishing line. I just barely made, it but one of the cars pulled around me, ..winning by five feet. I was disappointed but I aolt a little better when they told me I had aver- aged a speed of '155.5 miles per hour, Richard Patterson 63 DUDE RANCH Penny Baker, who was study- ing to be a vetertnorinr got a 11 telegram saying to rush home because her father was very Jill. When she arrived, her father was already daad. Her father had left her Dude Ranch, so she decided that be- fore going back to college to get her degree she would get the ranch in order to learn how to run it herself. She had no idea how much in the red it was until she took it over after his death. It was just about a hair's distance from bankruvOy. The reason for this was that a movie stag Rod Serling, had built a ranch similar to hers a couple of miles away and ’he was ge . t;. ■ g the trade that usually came to her ranch. Of course, Fenny couldn’t blame them, for his ranch was more beautiful than hers and in better condition. She knew that the buildings on her ranch needed a lot of rs- pair befoi’e she could really get some good trade. But whe® was sne to get the money? When she went to the bank to borrow money they considered her a bad risk and would not loan her any. One night Rod came for her to see if she eculd find out what was wrong with three of his horses. Wien she got there she had to clean all of their stomachs out, for they had eaten some grass that was’poi- sonous. But when the drought came she did not have to worry about water, for her father had built a dam on one of the streams that ran through his ranch. At Least she had that to her advantage. Rci's ranch dad not have a good supply of water, and he asked if he couH buy some from her; of course, she said yes but that soon’fell out, for they had a heavy rain storm and the dam broke. Now there v:as no longer a reserve or a way to control the water. With the storm and the con- tinuing weather she was get- ting absolutely no trade at all. Penny and Rod became fast friends and he promised to send all the overflow of his ranch to hers, but she still needed money to fix up her ranch. One of her old friends from high school days, who was a fast rising lawyer, loaned her the money to repair her ranch. After she had renovated the ranch and paid most of its bij l.s there was an awful tor- nado that tore off roofs . • od carried away some of the buildings that she had repair- ed . Although she was deeply discouraged, she thought to herself, '•If my father could have given the best year of his life to start this ranch I can at least try again. Penny borrowed some more money to restore the ranch coca again, ana finally put it on a paying basis. OhJ I almost forgot some- thing. Penny and Rod were married and they incorporated their ranches. Carol Each 'S3 A BAEYSITTING SCARE One night about ?:?0, a frier.i came to my house and ashod mo if I wanted a baby- sitting job for that evening. Of course I said Yes and we were on our way in about ten minutes. I took along my school books and a good murder mystery. 12 TMft babysitting job took me ort into the country where there was no television, raid q. or telephone, and the nearest neighbor was five miles avray. There were seven children rac- ing in age from two months to eight years. I wasn't too lonely at first because the children were Running around screaming end fighting. I tried to quiet them but with- out much suceoss. After tbo baby wa3 .'..fed and asleep I started getting the other six ready for bed. When J the’ last child was tucked safely into bed, around 9!30, I dicidod to do some of my studying. I studied until about 10:1|.5. Then I wa.: sud- denly interrupted by a rap at the front door. An old man was st ndin� - on the porch. Ke frightened me almost to death. He was dressed in old. torn, ragged v clothes 'ahd he was really filthy. His hands and face were covered with ftrease and dirt. For some unknown reason, I had locked the doors right after the parents had left, which is something I had never done before. I went into the downstairs bedroom and watched the man, I could see him very plainly, but he couldn't see me. The man just stood there on the front porch looking in the livingrcom and occasionally rapping. I triod td force mysolf to g.o to the door to see what this bum wanted. My mind wanted to open the door, but my body just wouldn't move. I was frozen I I didn't know if this man were a robber or what, and as long as I was staying with the seven children I was re- sponsible for their safety. I had turned of 1 all of the lights in the house except for the one in the den where I had been studying. As the den was on the back part of the house he couldn't see it. As soon as I had heard the rap on the door I had snapped the light off. Finnally the rapping ceased and I looked around outdoors to see if the man had gone, or what he was doing. Apparently the man had gone, so I went back to the den to continue my studying. In about an hour, another rap came to the door. I again snapped the den light off and started to- ward the bedroom to see' who was rapping. As I got to the window I noticed the bum with two State Policeman standing there. Thinking that they were real police, I let them in. The bum grabbed me, gagged me, and tied me 'to- a chair. The so-called policemen went through the cupboards and drawers, I wasn't worried a- bout myself so much, but it was the children. I didn't know wha+- the maniacs would do. Apparently they weren't inter- ested in the children, because they never went near the up- stairs. After they, had searched through the downstairs and had torn everythin? apart, I heard a siren. In a flash two more policemen came to the door. I didn't know whether they were honest to goodness police or not. They were, for they seized the three men, handcuff fed them snd put them into the police car. Then one of tte policemen came in. Untied me, and asked me if I were all . . i ■ .. . 13 right I said Yes”, Tine po- licem .0 n told me- that these me n we ;p - ex 0 envJ' rs who were very 6 ,':ge rou 3, B-y • the tima he had f i til s h'.u tolli r.g m -c s.b ‘ut ■ he meu, the parents returned After the policemen had ex- plained the whole to them, I was taken homo. rc ,.' let wo tell you I didn?t need my murder mystery boo!: and that i.3 an experience I will never forget. Darlene Greenwood � 61; MY TRIP TO OUTER SPACE AND BACK At 7� 09 A.il. on February 161, 199?,. I arosa to a bright morn- ing and then slipped into the bathroom to take my daily shower. After a break- fast of Cheerios, milk, and a belt cf strawberries, I was ready to begin ray trip into spacee Dressing took some time as I had to zip up my own suit (Agatha had gon9 into town).

Right in front of me was a biv blob; and it was vreen. There was no '!frr to avoid it -- Ban HJ Fben ! awo'-e, my ship was sur- rounded with little green men.

One of them, w om I assumed to he their leader, motioned for re to follow him. I did, unwill- ingly you can be sure. We walked for about fifty miles and then I sighted a huge castle, make of aluminum. I was escorted inside and whom should I see but Carolino Ken- nedy, daughter of the ex-Pres- ldent John F Kennedy seated upon a throne. Apparently she had been here fer some time as I noticed dust -inches thick on one cf the PT beats. Ken- nedy had been President twenty years before my birth„ Father used to tall me a lot about him, especially'his fifty mile hiking programs. Well, to get back to ray story. Here I was 200,000- miles away from home and. scared stiff. The guard at my side Vuioved me toward Caroline and I humbly fell at her feet. 3he It was a mood take off, al- 14 gave me a friendly greeting and then started questioning me: What happened on earth after the bomb fell? Have you heard anything about macaroni, my pcry?'1 The poor girl burst into tears when I couldn't an- swer all her questions. Ap- parently wnen the bomb fell, the entire ilennedy fanily had escaped in the Presidential missile to this planet, and she had to leave all her worldly possessions behind. The people living here had forced them to stay. when I suggested that she try to get back to earth with me, she accepted with delight, we worked hard for tne next two days getting our space- craft ready for the journey back to earth. It took nearly a week to get home ; as we had quite a time finding our way back. I never really appreciated home and my 'darling Agatha until I finally got back. I sold my ship to the salvage company and vowed never to take the trip again, but I always keep the money I received for it in -is bank, just in case Aga- t:ha's henpecking gets too much .tor me soiieday. lolly Wright '64 HUNTING IN TiiN SOUTH WOODS The morrison hill farm is fifteen miles from town-which is considered out of tne reach of civilization because they had no telephone, car, or truck. The only people manag- ing it are Mrs. Hugene Morri- son ana her seventeen year old son, Joe. They do the best they can to keep it in shape. Hugene had died two years ago with pneumonia ana left his wife and son to take over the farm. In the spring and summer months there is almost too much for them to handle, so they hire a man or boy to -p with the work. There w«,.fl planting to be done, and nay-- ing; the house and barn had to be repaired after the long winter. Desides this the wood supply had to be cut and a number of other things done. Their livestock consisted of a bull, five calves, and twenty-five cows. They also had chickens, ducks, two horses, two cats, and a dog. It was a warm fall bunday in September - the day of rest, except for doing the chores. This is the day Joe looked forward to; it was the only day he could go hunting for any length of time. After chores, he put up his lunch and with his dog, Champ, started out for a day full of excitement. iirst tney went down the road into the South woods. This was the best place to find a dashing rabbit tba t Champ could run. while Champ was rabbit hunting, Joe looked for a gray squirrel or a par- tridge. Today Joe found soue small tracks tnat caught his eye. He followed them for a- bout half a mile. They looked as if the animal were using only three feet and dragging the other one. When he was about to fcive up following it he heard something just a few feet ahead. He kept going,but didn't know what to expect. And there it was----a baby bob- • . • • • ' M ■ •• N •! , • • • . ■ 1 • I • • . •. • • • • ; ' ... . • - • . « % £ .. • - 1 i ' ' 15 cat, that had broken hi3 leg.- He probably wandered away from his mother and got it caught between a couple of rocks. As Joe started toward him he snarled and put his ore paw up tc defend hinself Kut Joe talked to him and finally he lay back down with as much to say O.K. I give up. You've got me 111 Joe decided to take the little fellow home to mend his leg for him. He also thought of the bobcat's mother who was probably looking for her baby now. Joe could imagine her long needle-like claws which could sink into him like nothing. So he end Champ.‘hur- ried, home as fast as they could,go. He hadn’t thought of what his mother would say about the whole escapade until he was going into the wood shed. At first he was going to keep it a secret but how can you keep a secret ovor a thing like like this. So he told his mother when she came in from hanging out the clothes. Joe thought she didn't mind at first because she didn't say a word, but he was mistaken, SdP started talking so fast Joe could hardly register it in his mind. But he got the point all right 1 Us talked her into leaning him pu.k a splint on the bobcat:s leg, but that was all. He couldn't keep it - of all things. The third day he took the bobcat back to'the south' wodds and hoped� ha would recover.

Teen- agers from Templeton, Mass- achusetts were also present at the conference. Of these schools eight have AY groups. Each school has five dele- gates represented to the con- ference. Those from Franklin were Gaylord Horskin, Kenton Pierce, Gary Benjamin, Diane White, and Jo-Ann Sherrer; also our advisor, Mr. Mudgett, who drove for us. We left about l .:25 and ar- rived at 6:05. Our group went to the Orleans High School where we registered our names and found the names and ad- dresses of our hostosses for the night. Then we went to the Munici- pal Auditorium where the ban- quet was held; there we met the other students from other schools. During the banquet a soecial guest was heard - Miss Elaine Wright, Miss Vermont of 1962. She stated her exper- iences during the past year as the representative of Vermont, and discussed the ability of all teen-agers to over- come all obstacles in the future. Upstairs above the banquet hall was a variety show about the early times. Acts were presented by AY posts from St, Albans, Orleans, Windsor, and Winooski. Following the show a dance was held down-stairs for all AY members and their guests. The next morning at 8:lj.5 was time for voting, Down we went to Orleans High School to vote for state officers: Miss Alice Renaud, of Winooski Vice President; Miss Marley Martin of Windsor, Secretary; and Miss Cheryl Berard of Hardwick Academy, Treasurer, The AY’ers went to several different workshops which dis- cussed such things as election procedures - constitutionalaad social, and a Vermont Youth Code. When we returned, one person from each workshop ex- plained what had been accom- plished in his group. At the luncheon meeting F. Harris Leavitt of St. Albans was honored for his many years of service to youth. The Ver- mont Association of Allxed Youth presented him witha.gold watch inscribed Fromffoe Youth of your beloved state. The guest speaker of the afterrcon was Mrs. Marge Dunton, managing director of Naukeag Inn, which is devoted to the treatment of alcoholics. The conference was summarized and closed by Wayne 0. Stacy, principal of Orleans K..gn School. It was a very worth- while convention. Gaylord Horskin � 61; ' ■ r 17 DESCRIPTION OP A FAVORITE PLACE My favorite place would be a far away place, where it's peaceful and quiet from the rest of the world - where it's people are always busy with their work and chattering. This favorite place I haven't yet found. But in my dreams I see a beautiful garden where the birds and squirrels are happy and gay with all the sunlight and warmth of quie- tude in the air. There are streams and waters which spar- kle like diamonds in the sun- light as they come between the huge trees. The flowers in the beautiful garden are all colors, which combine with the rest of the sconery. The big shady trees are all lined up and act as a border around the garden. Maybe this place is far away, or it may be very near, waiting for all of us. Maybe this place is • waiting for someone, somebody——maybe you and me. Claire Breault '65 THE VERMONT LEGISLATURE The seventh and eighth grades went to Montpelier on Thursday, April 25� There we saw the legislature in session for about two hours, then wont for lunch at the Pavilion Hotel. The Legislature is a marvelous example of democracy in action, where even the smallest town may have a decisive say in the working of the state. There are sev- eral page boys there, all in the seventh grade. There is no classification as to where they come from, although they must have straight A's. On the floor was the oroblem of Unemployment Compensation, one faction wanting to make it harder to -apply for it, the other wanting it easier. Be- cause so many amendments were introduced, no voting was done in the two hours we were there. After the session we met the Govenor, and were .'hahdeid little pamphlets iirhich read, Welcome to Vermont J Prom here we went to the Pavilion Hotel where Senator Dunham and Representative Olmstead. enter- tained us with a delicious lunch. Then we went to the National. Life Insurance Comoanybuilding, a tremendous granite structure with a mural word history of Vermont. We were ushered into a big room where we saw a mag- nificent view of the Green Mountains, with the Caoitol in the foreground. We saw a movie Green Mountain Heritage','which did emphasize- theeNationaLLife Company. Then, after getting postcards and folders, weleft for home.

As there was no commercial department I was fashioned by the faltering typing of Miss Dewing , with purple staining hekto- graph carbon and pulled off the sticky gelatin one page at a time, each ending very moist and curled like an ancient scroll. Jay staff consisted of six members who did what they could to help in the publication and assembly of my pages, but the hektograph had to be washed between each page and allowed to dry a bit, it could be washed much faster in warm water, but if the water was too warm eome of the gelatin would melt, necessitating the refilling of the hektograph pan and waiting several days for the gelatin to harden again. Eugene Olmstead 37 dubbed me Molecule and the name stuck, (If I am still a molecule now, I should, have been an atom then, or even a neutron,) As I recall the sum of ten cents was charged for y ' my first ten page issue, to cover the cost of the paper and carbon, We bought our own supplies then , you see. Some of the news that I carried in that first May 12th pamphlet consisted of a spelling contest, baseball victories, and a FreiOch supper prepared by Miss Gates and her french classes, A play writ- ten by Rachel Whiting '37 entitled A Shopper's Luck - a comedy fea- turing a husband trying on a dress he was purchasing for his wife- wa3 produced in the school assembly. Another article in my first issue describes the thrill of a trip the agriculture class took to Boston with Principal Arthur Sturtevant. The time of year doubt- less added more to the excitement than Just the dairy and meat- packing industries - New Year’s Eve, no less. My third issue describes a debate held on December 12, 1939 by the members of the junior and senior English class: ’’Resolved that Franklin High School should have a student council,” The speak - ers for the affirmative side were Marjorie Gates '40,Howard 01m - stead '40, and Phyllis King '40, Those who upheld the negative were Marguerite Benjamin '41, Newell Ploof '41, and Genieve Messier '40. Barbara Magnant '41 acted as chairman. Both sides did extremely well, for they had visited other schoolawhich al- ready had adopted the student council plan as part of their re - search. The affirmative side won, however, both by the majority vote of thewhole school and by the decision of the judges: Prin- cipal Sturtevant, Mrs, Sturtevant, and Miss Geneve Wilcox, Frank- linJunior-Senior High School has boasted a student council ever since. In 1940. I describe Wayne Mullen's experiences at Boys State. In 1941 my first picture cover appeared, thanks to Corinne Ben- nett '44, who became my first art editor. During this year also I graduated from the messy hektograph to the mimeograph which we . N ■ 33 still use today. Through an arrangement between Principal Sturte- vant and Rev. Stevens, pastor of the Federated Church, this A 3 Dick mimeograph machine was purchased jointly, at a total cost of about thirty- ei ht dollars This machine boosted my length and my sales, besides giving my staff a greater portion of my work to do; yet there was still no commercial department until Principal Kaszuba came in 1949, thus increasing my staff and my speed of production. Amici , the school song as arranged by Mrs, Mae Gates, appeared in my-!l55o issue. In 1941 I carried a basketball song, written by Marguerite Benjamin 41 to the tune of Shipmates Forever. B7 1942 I began to appear twice a year said to exchange with ohe High- gate Oriole . the' Enosburg Falls Hl-Solrlt, and the Richford Search- light. These same exchanges have continued intermittently through- out the years. From 1944 through 1949 Sally Gates 49 was my principal artist, assisted by M. Priscilla Dewing '46 and Olin Samson ’50. Sally had many original ideas for cartoons and, acting upon her suggestion , my 1946 spring issue was dedicated to the seniors, with a cartoon drawn for each senior. Although Miss Dewing and I had always objected to selling adver- tisement as a source of income, like the Reader-s Digest, I finally yielded in 1949. Simone Bouchard 51 and Ortiia Columb ?52 contin- ued my cartoons and drew my aids. Cynthia Clark ’54 became 30’interested in- photography that she printed the senior pictures and prepared a photography project for the science Fair. David Jestcot ‘60 is the only other pupil who has done this for me. Generally now my senior pictures are purchased from Wallet Photos, Milbum, New Jersey - an address Introduced to me by Audrey Cummings '59, who met a tragic death in an automobile accident thevery fall after she graduated. My next issue was dedicated to her. As you can see I am a product of growth from the ideas of many passing pupils and teachers, both English teachers and commercial teachers. Mr. Mudgett has contributed much to my present position, and I wish to thank him for it. Sometimes I become weary and think how comfortable it would be to retire to my original status -no aiif and no art , but how lonely I would be without my many friends. Be seeing you soon. The Molecule B.F.A. SCIENCE LECTURES Franklin High School has been represented at three of the sit B.F.A. biology lectures, all of which were extrenely good.- The first .1 . m V, ■ • • • • • • t • •. • - ■ : ' . • . i .. • • 39 on November 15, 1962, was about The Last 10,000 years . The speak- er at this lecture was Dr. Hubert Vogelman, Botanist, He ua about plant spores found in neat bogs and showed that from the way they were preserved the 'prehistoric climate of the region might be determined. The next lecture which we attended was on March 7, 1963� is was about Limb Regeneration in Amphibia , which explained leg and tail regrowth in lizards. The speaker was Dr. Richard Glade, Zo- ologist. The final lecture we heard war on Tumors in Domestic Animals , Our spealter was Dr. James Wadsworth, Veterinarian and Pathologis . This was about the growth and structure of tumors - benign anu malignant. All of the students liked the lectures and hope to go to more next year.
