NOTE: All faculty ot' the Eighth Grade Center came to Franklin in 1943. Mr. Samuel E. Fleming, who came to Seattle in 1908, taught at Eve high schools before coming to Franklin in 1912 as Head of the History Department. In 1917 he became Vice-Principal: in 1919 he was appointed Vocational Guidance Director: in 1922 he became Assistant Superintendent and continued at this post until his recent appointment as Superintendent. Mr. Fleming wrote for the 1940 Tolo Annual: I was visiting with a member of the Franklin faculty not very long ago. The name of one graduate after another was recalled. What is he doing? What is the news from this one and that one? Some of the news was greeted with exclamations of pride, some with expressions of disappointment. Whenever teachers meet to reminisce. whenever alumni gather to relive their school days and revive old friendships, the real acid test of high school values is applied when one inquires of the other, What is he doing? While in school the criterion seems to be marks and credits. As the years roll along these are forgotten. In their places loom measures of performance in the larger school of life. 'Y' 12

Senior Class Ours was the last class to enter Franklin before the war. In those days the Frosh spent their study periods in Study B and there were as many boys as girls in the class. The high- light of that year was the Freshman party with dancing and Dixie Cups for all. Everyone participated in an adult and dignihed game of musical chairs, until joe Benyon-the old spoil sport -started using jiu Jitsu on the girls. The fall of 1942 we were Sophomores-no longer at the bottom of the world. However, we were still young and frivolous, for the Sophomore party held the spotlight of that year, with third and fourth helpings of huckleberry pie for the hungry. In our Junior year We really took our places as leaders in school activities and some of the boys went off to war. At last we have attained the goal we started for as Freshmen-we are Seniors, the leaders of the school. The class officers are: Bill Pratt, President QWhat, again? It seems to us that he was president in our Freshman yearj 3 Ralph Holmstad, Vice-President, Joe Benyon, Secretaryg and Marjorie Plumb, Treasurer. In january we held a party for the February graduates. Assistant Superintendent Campbell was guest speaker. The students in our group have not had an entirely normal existence, since our entire four years have been war years. However, every member has left his contribution to the school and Franklin in turn has left its mark upon each member. Every boy who goes into the service and every girl who stays on the home front will work for the time when all boys and girls will be able to have the experience of a rich and happy life such as we have had at Franklin. We of the Class of 1945 owe all possible thanks to Miss Strain for the inspiration given us, for her friendly guidance, and for her sympathetic humor. BILL, RALPH, MARJORIE, and MISS STRAIN. 14
