Smith at forward position and Billy White and Billy Belton at guard position, the Cardinals had a first five that, was hard for the opposition to stop The team was lacking in height „ but this deficiency was made up for by speed and deception of all players Coach Hiatt had a second five that was only sli ghtly less effective in competion than the first „ - These were Norris Hail, Buster Nichols Norris Hodge „ Wayne Frye, and Junior DraughnA third str¬ ing team was substituted frequently when the going was not too tough which was composed of Buster. Edwards, Wade Frye , Benton Wagoner 9 Albert. Me Hone, and Bobby Holder, In planning and arranging the season J s schedule, Coach Hiatt made it a point to try to arrange games with strong team records „ Con¬ sequently„ there were few soft and easy games This constant going against tough opposition was a decided factor in bringing the team along to a peak of strenght , During the pre-tournament schedule „ only two games, were lost botji of these to the state champion pilot Mountain team By tournament time 9 the Cardinals were at their Peak They lost an over-time period game tn the finals of the county tournament to Pilot Mountain In the Yadkin Valley tournament , Franklin boys fought it out in the finals with Pilot Mountain „ and, in one of the fastest, cleanest „ and best games of the year,won sweet revenge by downing pilot ? s team by a one point margin in an extra period In the state race for. class B teams , Franklin lost to Clemmons who „ in turn went down before Pilot Mountain in the final game of the Northwest Tournament at Reynold r s High Gymnasium m Winston Salem , In the Journal-Sentinel Tournament , the Cardinals of Franklin breezed through to the quarter finals . In this game against the strong quint from Children J s Home, Franklin was considerably off form and lost by the largest margin of the season Children r s Home went on to the finals and lost t,0 King boys - Notwithstanding the few tough losses that the team suffered , it was a good year for Coach Hiatt and his red-clad, hard-fighting team,. The boys who made up this year J s squad can rest assured that it was one of Franklin ; s best years m basketball • The fine spirit of sports¬ manship that was exhibited throughout the season , the gentlemanly con¬ duct of the players on or off the court , and the excellent record of scholarship of all squad membere makes it a season to be remembered with pride 0 Seated First , Row Left to right Parthene Slate GIRLS ' BASKETBALL Polly Worrell Betty Hutchens Raney Gordon Louise Parker TEAM Ruby Beasley Second Row Coach Hewsome Wanda Lou Golding Betty Ruth Bunker Bobby Lou McCraw Helen Gal yean Margaret Blackburn r girls basketball Back from La:, and Nancy Gordon. year ' s sextette back from Lost to the team was Geneva Kendall for three years and added to them Ruby Beasley ffi cks who had for - Po l ly came Louise Parker t Parthena Slate, squad representation was Betty Hutchens r been the chief reliance of Miss toach Newsome began with these returned players oppo itio that 6 a w °h ractlce a nd played against the strongest opposition that could be found m Surry County and nearby Virginia schools . m reocrd showed about an even break m games won and lost , but Beit said to the credit ofihe girls who played that nearly all the games lost were lost by very small margins.

One was the game with the county district title holdays of Blue Ridge across the line m Virginia. In one of the finest displays of team work and skill of the entire season, the home team won by a substantial margin . Another close game was taken from Francisco girls,, one of Stokes County ' s best girls ' team. Also, it was a pleasure to break even with the, West fi eld team by beating them on the home ccurt and losing on the Nest field court, Members of the class of iqfq did good job m basketball for their Alma Mater. Outstanding was the work of Slate who was named for county All-Star and Yadkin Valley Conference All-Star. Worrell, who was county All-Star. and widely mentioned for honors m the Yadkin Valley tournament and the T Journal-Sentinel tournament , Nancy Gordon who played consistently good ball as guard all the year . Louise Parker., who was one of the fastest girl forwards m the Northwest and Betty Hutchens, whose height at times served to give her a tremendous advantage over smaller guards. The other members of the sauad did well Beasley, Lambert, Golding, Nichols and Bunker Two other seniors were dependable and hard-playing when called upon.

Smartest things on the court . That was a remark that was frequently heard about the iqqq edition of Franklin Cheerleaders as they presented themselves before the cheering sections at the games at home and at the several tournaments that Franklin teams entered. When the regular teams were able to secure their bright and fbashy scarlet uniforms, the cheerleaders found themselves out of style as far as color was concerned. Since materials were scarce for making uniforms, the cheer¬ leaders were all remorse because they could not, for a time, find uniforms to match those of the teams. It was decided that the Cheerleaders could sponsor the annual get-together dinner for Scouters and their wives to pay for the new outfits, if they could be found. The Cheerleaders were willing to ' furnish skirts and trousers if the funds could provide for the jackets. A search was begun that let all the way around the country to find the scarlet jackets. Finally some were locat¬ ed in satm way up in New York. They were duly ordered in the proper sizes, the Cheerleaders Pro¬ vided the other parts of the uniforms, and then they flashed out before the cheering sections with Plenty of dash and color. Those who were acting in the capacity of advising sponsors were Mrs. Starling, Mrs. Jarvis, Mrs. Broome, and Mrs. Laughridge. All these, and others ivere responsible for the outfitting of the squad and the leadership that gave inspjration and taught a high quality of sportsmanship to the student body. The Cheerleaders were Katherine Blackburn, Wilma Frances Broome, Mary Anne Nichols, Frances Quesinbury, Frank Miller, and Billy Overby. Be it said to the credit of the group that they did a mgst excellent job. Much credit must go to them for the school ' s refutation of being able to take our wins and our losses with a smile. Also, it can be said that the Cheerleaders never let the teams down. No matter whether they were winning or losing, the Cheerleaders always stayed behind the teams until the final whistle blew. So here’s fifteen Rahs For the Rah, Rah girls and boys from good old Franklin. TRACK AT FRANKLIN For several years Franklin High School , under the capable leadership of Coach Hiatt has placed especial emphasis on track and field events in the Physical education set-up. Last year was one of the best years m the school ' s track history. Both girls’ and boys’ teams loon first places in the county meet and m the Lions Club meet that was held m Mount Airy. Beautiful troph- ies were won for the school m both Meets. This year the school is without the services of Cecil Hill, Keith Gant Osier Martin and Randolph Golding among the boys and it also misses the points that might be added by Geneva Hicks and Jackie Golding. There are Herman Hichols, Morris Hodges, and Billy White,. Louise Parker Haney Gordon and Honda Golding. All of whom will have an opportunity to earn places on this yearns team. Who the other members will be can not yet be told., for _ the try-outs are not yet being held as this publication gioes to press. However, it is quite certain that Alton Phillips, will be m for dashes and hurdles. The grammar grades can by counted on to put out as strong a team as they did last year. So Franklin should be m the with strong defenses for their two crowns which they hold from last year. It is a credit to the physical education department that the school annually has more competition for individual positions on the track squads than for any other spovjt.

Being the club with the largest membership ,, it is but natural that some of its members would have been honored in their work Last September Billy Smith exhibited the Grand Champion Guemesy in the Li-ons Club Junior Dairy Show. Other exhibitors who rated near the top m their classes were Muncy Beamer and Ed. Southern The year previous Randolph Golding and Wilma Frances Broome Exhibited claves m the blue ribbon class of the Elkin Fat Stock show. Lust year under, the leadership of Wilma Frances Broome as president and Mrs. Ralph Cooke as faculty advisor, the Club sponsored a very successful 4 H Fair. The act was repeated this year with Frank Miller as president. Exhibits at these local fairs have been of such quality as to justifyf their being shown at the annual county fair. Soon after the beginning of this yearns work it became necessary to divide the group into a senior unit. More than 1 0 members are included m the two groups „ Each member is required to carry a project and good progress is being made with these . Last year the club was honored by having had one of its members selected for county health queen „ Muncy Gordon made a beautiful queen and their high rating contestants were members of her court at the county coronation. At this event, Franklin club was featured m dancing the minuet. This feature wi ' il be repeated this year. OFFICERS OF THE JUNIOR CLUB President . i i. i i iii..i................ i i.

Few troops have made more progress than this, and much of the progress is due to the efficient leadership of Mr. J, C. Hiatt, Scoutmaster, The present year finds Mr. Hiatt with an able assistant m the person of Mr. R. C. Wiggins. The record of advancement of the individual members is excell ent. There are many Star and Life Scouts in the troop despite the fact that the troop is young. Four mem¬ bers have only to complete life saving examinations to become Eagle Scouts . The various patrols meet regularly with their leaders and plan their outside activities. All patrols are experienced in the art of camping, and on inspection they have all rated high m this particular. Frequent hikes and outings are taken by patrols or by the whole troop. The Scout Committee have always rendered loyal service. Hotable among these Scouters are Mr. B. A. Jarvis, Mr. Robert Jones, Mr. Joe Hall, and Mr. Alton Leonard. This year, fathers of some of the boys are the Troop Committeemen. Mr. Caleb Allred and Mr. Bill Meadows are new members of the committee. One of the finest services rendered by the Scouts is in their duty at the school building on program nights. There has never occurred a theft or a property damage when the Scouts were on duty.

Chapter One . Freshman year, iQ4q-iQ44. Our career at Franklin marked its beginning m the fall of 2 Q 4 q when 6 q green, ignorant, questioning boys and girls entered Franklin High School and were given the appelation of Freshmen. Due to our number and our need of guidance, we were placed mthe care of two home room teachers, Miss Johnson and Miss Bray. We really didn’t know what it was all about but we soon set our¬ selves to the tasks of finding out what it meant to be students of Franklin High School. We real¬ ized the fiirst place was m the class room, but there were many other extra-curricula activities which influence all of us We formulated our class organization, for we knew we needed student leadership as well as faculty guidance, The school soon found the freshman taking a leading part m athletics, especially basket-ball; freshman names weri found on the staff of the Hi-Life, fresh¬ man voices were heard in the Glee Club , - By the spring of 1Q44 much of our greeness had disappeared and we were ready to be Sophomores . • Chapter Two, Sophomore Year 1(144-1045 When we returned in the fall of 1044 we numbered 58- We were typical Sophomores We thought we knew it all, we had lots of fun watching the freshmen as they became acclimated, forgetting that we so recently were in their places. In our Sophomore year we were soon placed under the capable ,it. H leadership of Miss Louise Kendall and Miss Virginia Colt fane, who by their example made us realize th a f we were not exalted sophomo res only, but students. In athletics Owen Stone and Wayne Frye made first m basketball, Owen Stone was assistant Editor of the school paper , On the staff were Albert Lawrence, Louise Parker, Wayne Jarrell, John Ralph Creed and Haney Gordon, Albert Lawrence was used in the Senior Play n Lena Rivers ' 1 . Many Sophomores again took part in the Glee Club . The Sophomore class found themselves with a new principal, Mr. H S. Broome, former principal of White Plains High School, Before the year was over we selected as class officers ; President .... Louise Parker.
