rhe members of the Library Club work very hard in he school library. During this time they learn the skills of the library. The main purpose of this organi- zation is to learn the techniques of the library procedures and to help keep the library running very smoothly. Students Develop Skills, Operate Equipment The members of the Library Club learn the work that goes into the operation of the library. They work before and after school helping Mrs. Anderson, their sponsor, in any way that they can. One of their jobs is repairing and shelving books. The students of Franklin owe a great deal of thanks to these people for helping them to have a good library. The members of the Audio- Visual Club learn to operate some of the schools audio- visual equipment. These students work particularly hard to assist the teachers by keeping the equipment in good condition and helping them run the equipment in the classroom. Mr. Weaver is the club ' s sponsor. These are the members of the Audiovisual Club that learn to operate the various equipment. The members are showing some of the equipment that they learn to operate.

Student Council Engages In Many Projects This year Franklin ' s student council con- sisted of thirty-two members, including president Dave Burns; vice-president Don Sherman: and secretary Sally Shepler. All the members of the council took as part of their responsibilty the setting of standards for dress and behavior. The purpose of the student council is to give a better relation- ship between students and teachers. The members asked advice and passed on the feelings of the student body. Members served as chairmen or as mem- bers of various committees appointed by the officers to work on various projects through- out the year. The council worked on the constitution which will be put to use in the years to come for the student body. Two peo- ple that worked very hard to make the stu- dent council worth while were Miss Shaner and Mr. Mathias. The council instituted a new project this year which was the selection of a citizen of the month. Each classroom had a citizen of the month box where the students could put their votes for the person that they felt was worthy. The officers of this year ' s student council discuss the approaching meeting of the student council for which many plans must be made. These are the hard working students who were cho- sen to represent the other members of their home- rooms at weekly student council meetings. Part of representative responsibility was to report to his class the new and old business that was discussed at the meeting.

The Y-Teens is much like the Junior Hi-Y only its membership is all girls. They meet with Miss Minsel and Mrs. Colchin. The boys of the Junior Hi-Y meet every other Wednesday with Mr. Hogan and Mr. Simpson in room 113. Their meetings are both fun and serious. Clubs Promote Growth For Future The Future Teachers Association meets every other Thursday in room 107 with Mr. Philips and Mrs. Dick. The club has had some interesting speakers. The Junior Hi-Y ' s main purpose is to be a service to the school. They took a survey to find out some of the problems teachers have with pupils which they might help solve. The Junior Hi-Y works in co-operation with the YMCA. The Y-Teens is a city wide organization. Out of their two monthly meetings they de- vote one to business and one to social activi- ties. They have done such things as attend city wide parties and help out at the Christ Child ' s Festival. The Future Teacher Association does not have a large membership this year, but they have just recently received their charter in hope that this may help to increase their membership. They have been seeing profes- sional teaching films and gaining much knowledge in the field of teaching. The club is mainly for those students who feel they may be interested in becoming teachers , and the members are given a chance to come very close to teaching. 22
