k going. In my opinion, three years are plenty of time to settle this matter, but appar- ently we are going to be in the dark until the last minute. I say, People of Franklin,wake upl If you wait too long, our chances for joining the Union School will be gone, and then where? To other schools, for an indefinite long term period. Please make an all out effort to yet this settled, one way or the other, in the very near future. Dwight Tatro 68 EDUCATION THE KEY TO v0UR FUTURE The job opportunities today are numerous and varied; but many applicants are not quali- fied or do not have any sal- able skills. The yeas of School from elementary to high school are long; and if you ask any student, he will say, they can bo dull, boring, and just the birds I Stop right here, right on this line and think for a min- ute. What shall I do or what am I able to do for my future career? Will I have the re- quired qualifications my em- ployers will ask for? These are just a few questions I ask myself and I bet they sound familiar to you. There are many roads to take. Don't get left by the wayside; don’t get tired. Finish high school at least. Ifyou are willingto work there are people and scholarships a- vailable to help you, but with one requirement. You must show some inclinat'on to work and work hard, A person who quits or drops out of high school loses out. he’s no longer a part of his school friends’ lives but is thrown into the working world, with no skill. There are few employers that will want him. Another nerson completes his high school and seeks out a college or trade school. He graduates with a certain def- inite oride in himself. These people are still young '■nd fresh with new ideas; they will have a future. My fellow students, stay in high school and work. This is my advice and believe me it will prove worthy. Pick up your books with renewed vigor and dig for what you v nt. The rewards by far out-weigh that make-believe freedom you think you have attained as a high school drop-out. Take vour key of education to unlock those doors of know- ledge, and let your mind expand so ihat it will grew alongwith the world. Three instruments for you to dig your way to that diploma are hard work, much courage, and good luckj

Through tests of the radio- active cloud produced by this tomb the United States has found that itis no more power- ful then their previous bomb. The United States and the rest of the major powers in the - qrs terrified when Red Cnina ce3ts bombs. They are frightened to death that Red China might discover a bomb powerful enough to be able to wipe out entire countries, like vhe bombs that the United Slates, Great Eritain, and Russia already possess. Someday in the very near future Red China willpossess such a bomb, that can be mount- ed as a warhead on a missile and fired thousands of miles away with deadly accuracy. Red Chp na will soon possess as powerful as our's this is the inevitable. Why don't we want China to have such a tomb? We se.m to think that Red China will start a major war out of which no one will win. We seem to think that the Chinese see like children, and they are not to play with bombs. The Chinese are no more stupidtihen we are. Red China's science is speed- ing up and within the next very few years Red China will be as rowerful a nation as any on the face of the earth, and 1 be- lieve that they will be just as capable and careful of having such a dangerous weapon as we are.

Christmas is t’ everybody is happy ar . , and when we can share it all with others to make them fool they belong to someone and are felt wanted.

Poankinoonse,and iiyrrh. They followed a br: mt star abac shone from the north to find their way to him. And since the dayof Jesus Christ's birth, we all havo colei' cted Christmas in memory of him. And I have come to think t'st Christmas is thomest lire.- - t day of the yeer. Richard Bier - '67
