Club Members Stage, Run Machines The stagecraft club, sponsored by Mr. Leis, and Mrs. Ehinger, met about once a week and provided the special effects of all of Franklin ' s assem- bly programs. They also prepared the sets for the plays presented by the Dramatics Club. A great deal of time was spent in preparation of each pro- gram. They did a fine job this year in all of their staging. The ninth graders in the Audio-Visual Club op- erated and repaired the equipment, which in- cluded projectors, record players, and tape record- ers. The members also delivered the equipment to various teachers. They were required to take a written test on each piece of equipment they had learned to operate. The sponsor of the Audio- Visual Club was Mr. Weaver. The seventh and eighth grade students in the Audio-Visual Club met once a week and learned how to operate the equip- ment. They were trained in teams and each team had a ninth grade instruc- tor. The students learned how to operate the equip- ment to relieve the teach- er of this responsibility.

These students were representatives to Franklin Student Council. They did their part by volunteering willingly, working diligently, and contributing ideas and opinions from their homeroom. Thanks to the co-operation of such willing persons, Franklin had a very effective Student Council. Franklin Has Very Active Student Council Student Council Officers this year were Connie Hoylman, president; George Wagner, vice-president; and Cherie Spuhler, secretary. They helped Franklin have an active school government. Franklin ' s Student Council consisted of seventh, eighth, and ninth grade representa- tives. The homerooms each elected a representative and an alternate. They attended the meetings, brought back information to their home- rooms, and discussed the homeroom ' s feelings about it. Also the representatives voted for the homerooms. The al- ternate attended the meetings and took part in committees but could not vote.

The Cheerblock sponsored by Miss Loraine, did a fabulous job this year in supporting the teams. This club consisted of seventh, eighth, and ninth graders who met many times with the cheer- leaders to learn each cheer. This large and supporting club showed much enthusiasm and spirit in the cheering of Franklin ' s teams to many victories. Members Cheer, Discuss, Serve School A newly formed club this year was the Varsity Club which met every Monday. The boys discussed athletics, promoted good sportsmanship and studied the tech- niques of todays sports. Only Franklin lettermen were al- lowed to be members. Mr. Ault and Mr. Riley were the sponsors. The Franklin Squaws spent many busy hours in service for the school. The girls met every other Monday and discussed the things they might do that would be beneficial to Franklin. This year they took tickets at the doors and sold candy at the basketball games. They were assisted with these tasks by Miss Minsel and Mrs. Colchin.
