Franklin Quakers, whose pictures and activities are recorded in this book, will use, or fail to use, the education acquired at Franklin in a world quite different than the one we are familiar with today. It is certain that the next fifty years will be years of rapid changes, changes in all kinds of things affecting human beings, and how they live. Folks who yearn for the Good Old Days and dream of the past will be most unhappy, for there will be no good old days, only Good New Days, in which the expression You ain't seen nothing yet will be all too true. A society, undergoing rapid change, whose membership is not educated to understand and to guide this change, is likely to deteriorate and to disintegrate in time. One great purpose of education is to prepare our youth for intelligent, wise citizenship in a future way of life which will be different in many ways from that characteristic of todayj ' To assure that these differences will be 'constructive rather than destructive, helpful to mankind' rather than hurtful, and truly the result of democratic processes, will require of all Franklin Quakers continued lifelong learning. This lifelong learning will be not only their responsibility but also their greatest resource as they pursue the great adventure in the world of tomorrow. HARRY L. GARRISON

l960 Editor Speaks OUR YEARS AGO the. Tolo was dedicated to freedom and reflected the honor of the Bellamy Award for Franklin High's loyalty, patriotism, love of country and good citizenship. Into this stimulating atmosphere we came as Freshmen. We Worked and played together as a team with the help of an outstanding faculty and led by our Freshman cabinet. The majority of us came as Sophomores to the Sensational Sixties. The Tolo of 1959 was dedicated to Walter J. Reseburg, a great man and beloved principal. We were influenced by his drive for good sportsmanship, high scholastic standards, and enthusiasm for worthwhile things. We shared Franklin's democratic living and freedom. We felt personally responsible not to abuse these prin- ciples. DONALD S. MEANS-U. of W.g B.A. in Econ. and Bus.g Bus.

Prin. Our Junior Tolo honored all teachers, staff members, and students who have made Old Franklin a great school. We looked forward to progress under the inspiration of our new prin- cipal, Mr. Garrison. Additions and improvements were begun at Franklin and as juniors we con- tinued to better our minds, our attitudes, and our characters striving to develop those qualities which will help us during our lives. The new con- stitution was adopted and a new type of student government came into being. In this our Senior year there has not only been a change in the building, but also the general con- cepts by which the school is being directed. Among the changes around the school is the Activities Office. Here emanates all student op- erations, achievements, and performances. A new roll room system was tried and has proven suc- cessful. All these experiences have added to the knowl- edge we have gained here at Franklin. We go forth better equipped to take our place as citizens of this changing universe. 1960 EDITOR In this constantly changing world, it seems that many of our most brilliant technological advances are almost obsolete by the time they are perfected. I find it very comforting to re- flect that certain things never change, simply because these things cannot be improved. These things are the moral and spiritual values that have made our nation great. Hon- esty, integrity, respect for oneself and for other persons, reverence for a Creator, intel- lectual curiosity, clean-mindedness, loyalty, patriotismg these are constant and unchang- ing principles that our schools strive to per- petuate. They give us a comfortable, solid place to stand while the world swirls madly around us. They provide science with a conscience. DONALD S. MEANS
