Every such great idea must have its generating spirit, that small spark within the human mind which is so rare, but for which we are most thankful when we find it. We wish, with this dedication, to honor the one whose mind provided that spark, the one who foresaw what this organization could and would be, and the one whose hands have worked so faithfully in making it what it is today. We honor this person as a leader in the truest sense of the word. She deserves this title because she has been able to say the right word at the right time; she has been able to help us find those strengths within ourselves which we did not know existed; and above all, she has been content to let our triumphs and achieve¬ ments be our own. We honor her as a true friend to the organi¬ zation and to each of us individually. We honor her for showing us what a truly dedicated life can accomplish. As long as there is a Franklin alumnus, this friend will have the honor due to such a life. It is with glowing pride, and with deep thanksgiving, that the Franklin Alumni Associ¬ ation dedicates this twenty-fifth anniversay yearbook to LOUISE KENDALL. 3

5nis u as 3ran Im Franklin is one of the oldest Surry County ' communities. Always there was a scliool, and several buildings have been used at the present school site. As the area developed, schools were enlarge d, teachers added, and equipment provided. In 1920, this was the school, located near the present road, and it was to be used until the large brick building, to house the elementary grades and the newly organized high school, was built. Here, Franklin people centered their interests around their school. First row, left to right: , B. Caudle, C. Hollingsworth, R. Hodge, B. Mauldin, J. Patterson, J. D. Alderman, L. Ball, W.

She gave her time and effort for others, and was never too busy to help her neighbors. 5
