Hard Work Leads to Success For Future Life Girls take part as the basketball season comes in. The girls as well as the boys learn and abide by the rules of the game. The girls have much ambition as well as enthusiasm. Two students study parts of the body through the use of a device called a human torso. Students learn the names of the parts of the body as well as how they function. Students have many chances to express their ideas in English class, such as, in a speech. Much work is required for a speech so it will be interesting and informative.

Faculty Members of Franklin Help Students Through the year our principal, Mr. Joseph Plasket, supervises school activities, plans student programs, and promotes better school life. Two important jobs in every school are those of the principal and of the staff assist- ant. This past year our principal, Mr. Joseph Plasket, and our staff assistant, Mr. Devon Mathias, have worked to the goal of improv- ing the education of Franklin ' s students. Mr. Plasket has shown a keen interest in keeping our academic standards high. Dur- ing the past year, he has attended several principals ' conferences and returned with re- newed enthusiasm and new ideas for our school. He has worked with teachers to see that students are always in the class in which they would have the best learning situation. The staff assistant, Mr. Devon Mathis, serves as a guidance director. This year he has concentrated on developing an effective homeroom guidance pro- gram and has provided many materials for teachers to use in this area. As Mr. Plasket talks to students, he may learn about their prob ' ems or open their minds to a new phase of learning in school. By spending a few moments with a student, he learns to know each of the stu- dents better.
