Early Planning Helps Students Mr. Richard Laughlin, Franklin,s col- lege co-ordinator, is very concerned by students who are late in planning for their future. But, he feels that it is the student,s individual responsibility to ask for the necessary information. Mr. Laughlin works with the counselors and Mrs. Bonnae Lindley in the Vocational Information Center in sending this in- formation to the students. Underclass- men should be encouraged to use all sources of information offered to avoid a last minute and perhaps a hasty de- cision.

Annual PTA projects included textbook distri- bution and vision screening. Eight de- voted mothers assisted in the registra- tion of students on August 25, 26, and 31. The PTA helped the seniors with the Christmas wrap-station at Pay-Less. With the money earned at this wrap-station, football concession stands, and on glass collections, the PTA was able to give a 35250.00 scholarship. This year's Dads' Club is greater than ever, and have displayed their spirited activity by patrolling football and basket- ball games along with the track meets held at Franklin. Fall Dads, Club Presi- dent Wayne Bergstrom noted that this year's membership numbers 126, and Hweid like to have more dads. The efforts from physical education teachers have, also, greatly helped the Dads' Club with their activities. Money mak- ing activities include the addition of concession stands at Franklin track meets. This money will be given to Franklin High School to aid in their endeavors and in scholarships for graduating senior students. Academics 27
