Mr. Joseph Plasket, principal, supervises Frank- lin ' s many activities, prepares individual stu- dent ' s programs and directs the school ' s daily routine. Franklin ' s staff assistant, Mr. Devon Mathias, who serves as a guidance director for the boys and girls, must listen to many complaints and problems during the school year. Mr. Plasket Guides 800 Students During Year Mr. Plat ket spends a few minutes talking to two ninth g ade studen ts abo Lit some phase of the school ' s orog ram. Franklin ' s principal and his staff assistant keep us marching straight toward our goal — success in the future. These men try to provide us with an excellent education and a sense of responsibility. Guiding the 800 stu- dents enrolled in the school, Mr. Plasket and Mr. Mathias naturally encounter some diffi- culties during a school year, but they may be counted on to solve any of our problems. Mr. Plasket ' s daily activities begin when he opens his office to any student who wishes to see him. During the course of the day, he attends to problems of absentees and has con- ferences with teachers, parents, or students about any particular item which needs atten- tion. His primary responsibility is to provide a good education for the students which in- cludes coordinating a good academic program, making certain that the teachers have ade- quate materials, and providing a good atmos- phere for learning.
