Extra-curricular activities which take place during the seventh period of the day have become a large and important part of Franklin ' s program. This year students en- joyed participating in their choice of over thirty clubs. A sense of responsibility and a need to get along with others resulted from club membership. The types of clubs varied so that all students could find a club that interested them. Walking down the hall during the sev- enth period, the sounds of a ball bouncing in the Ping Pong Club or the shouts of the girls in GAA were just a few of the sounds which could be heard. Students who were involved in the activities knew the fun and enjoyment awaiting anyone who joined a club. Activities Provide Opportunities For Students 17

The ninth grade cheerleaders led the other students in a cheer before one of this year ' s basketball games in our gym. The girls perfected their leading of the old cheers and taught many new ones as they cheered their team to victory during this year ' s basketball season. Cheerleaders Enliven Sports With Their Cheers Go ! Chiefs ! Go ! is a familiar cry heard by the cheerleaders as they lead the students in pep sessions as well as at basketball and football games. These girls help to organize the noise as the team strives to win. The girls are most proud as they wear white skirts and sweaters with the Franklin F on the sweater. Many interested girls practiced every night for several weeks early in the year to pre- pare for the tryouts. The judges had a hard decision to make as they needed to choose twelve girls from the large group of those who were interested. Needless to say, those chosen were very thrilled. The ninth grade cheerleaders were Mar- sha Dill, Connie Stamanis, Earlene Dunbar, Kathy Hanshew, Candy Volmerding, and Debbie Lyons who served as captain. The sev- enth and eighth grade cheerleaders were Jeanine Neauman, Susie Pister, Linda Lees, Susie McAtee, Linda Meredith, and Sally Shepler who was elected by the girls as their captain. The seventh and eighth grade cheerleaders show one of their many interesting formations which they use in leading the various cheers at a game. 16

The editors look over the different parts of the yearbook to make certain everything is in order and that a good yearbook is ready for the students on the day designated for distribution of the 1964 Kite ' n Kev. Two large sections of work on the yearbook are copy and activities. The copy staff is responsible for writing all the paragraphs of the yearbook, and the activities staff is responsible for planning all of the pictures for the annual. Kite ' n Key Staff Works Long Hours The 19G4 Kite ' n Key has required many long hours of work from the yearbook staff. However, the staff has enjoyed the op- portunity to help in preparing this book and has enjoyed many of the experiences. Learn- ing to work together as a staff and sharing ideas have been two outgrowths of work on the Kite ' n Key staff. Mrs. Carol Rohrabaugh advised the staff again this year. One of the first things that the staff had to do was choose a theme and cover idea and then carry this idea throughout the book. This work started before the actual subscrip- tion campaign was held. Then work in circu- lation, art, sports, activities, and copy sec- tions began. Each member of the staff was assigned a certain position. Persons on the circulation staff planned the year- book ' s campaign. When the campaign started, they kept records on the sales of yearbooks and records of the money. 18
