Thank you The senior class of 1986 would like to thank our class advisor, Mr. Chrabaszcz for leading our class through many events and also to financial success. As freshmen, we found ourselves without an advisor for about half of the year. Finally, Mr. McCall volunteered to do the job. Under his guidance, we held a fund raiser to establish a class treasury. Unfortunately, we mistakenly spent that treasury on our Freshman Banquet at the Franklin Country Club. During our Sophomore year, Mr. McCall was joined by Mr. Chrabaszcz giving us co-advisors. Together they helped us make our class ring selections and led us in a fund raiser for our Sophomore Banquet at the Red Snapper. This time, however, we managed to keep some money in our treasury. In our Junior year, Mr. McCall retired and Mr. Chrabaszcz continued as our advisor. His extra efforts helped make our Junior Prom glamourous and exciting. With his enthusiastic guidance our class became the first to sponsor four dances in one year. Continuing this tradition as seniors, we sponsored more dances. Mr. Chrabaszcz encouraged class participation and brought the class of 1986 closer together. Our Senior Banquets were enjoyable and unforgettable! Mr. C. helped us with the magazine sale in order to raise money for our Graduation. With Mr. Chrabszcz’s ideas and dedication we have been able to have activities that are fun for all. We are grateful that he took our class as if we were always his. The time he spent helping and guiding us make him a special man. Mr. Chrabaszcz, we thank you for all of your guidance and support and we hope you remember us fondly as we remember you! Good luck with future classes! Sincerely, 2 The Class of 1986

“It is great being principal and I am thoroughly enjoying it. I do not look at the principalship in terms of gender. I see it in terms of getting the job done.” “Students know me as a strong disciplinarian; therefore, I did not have to take measures to establish myself. A female principal is a good role model for female students. I hope that indirectly, I am teaching them to aspire to any position they want if they want it badly enough and are willing to work hard for it.” “If anything is needed to help me,” Mrs. Swanbeck told us, “it is longer days. I knew well what the responsibilities would be when I became principal and I looked forward to them. As principal, I have total responsibility for all school administration and operations. I must define rules and regulations; prepare the budget; supervise and evaluate staff; establish public relations; and oversee extracurricular events. The position gives me the opportunity to do positive things and to bring about changes that are beneficial to the students, staff, and school as a whole.” “When my children were at Franklin High School, I was aware of the unrest students were experiencing with the establishment, not only at FHS, but all over the country. At that time, rules were not as tight as they are now and consequen ces for infractions were not consistent, therefore students did not know what to expect.
