DEDICATIUN TO MINNIE CARLOTTA JOHNSON, we the students of Franklin High School dedicate our year book that we may in some small measure express our love of her as a delightful person and a grand teacher. AN APPRECIATIUN AS A MEMBER of the Mathematics department and a friend of Miss Johnson, I wish to express my sincere regrets at her retirement from the faculty. The thoughtfulness and friendly cooperation which she evidenced to me during my :first days of teaching at Franklin have continued to be a help and inspiration throughout our association. Her many fine qualities have won the lasting respect and affection of the faculty and student body. HELEN KUEBLER.
