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.

The faculty members are a very important part of Franklin Junior High. They are re- sponsible for teaching the students the vari- ous subjects offered, and they always encour- age students to think critically. The teachers are also the sponsors of the various extra- curricular activities at Franklin. The teach- ers take interest in each student so that he will be able to achieve to the best of his abil- ity and succeed in his work. Together, the faculty members have helped greatly in making this year at Franklin ex- citing and successful. Teachers Lead Us Through Academic Year
