Franklin Melody Makers 1. The Franklin Chorus is made up of selected eighth and ninth grade students, most of whom have been in chorus for three years. They began as a training choir and have prog- ressed to a performing group. The Ninth Grade Choir meets every day, and performs as a unit at each concert. The entire chorus has the opportunity to sing for outside activities, other than school concerts and assemblies, as the privilege arises. The many voices of Franklin are directed by Mrs. Ehinger. The language of tones belongs equally to all mankind, and melody Is the absolute language In which the musician speaks to every heart. Richard Wagner 2. The Seventh Grade Chorus is a selected group from each of our feeder schools.

Georgia Holmes, Tammy Harris, Sally Stoiche, Becky Larue, Mr. Reche, Dragan joueski, Tim Counterman and Dan Eiter look on as the world gets lifted up. The 7th grade social studies classes are beginning to realize their responsibilities in sharing the burden of world problems. Classes study the Non-Western World,— combining his- tory, geography, economics, and political science in a cultural approach. The only freedom which deserves the name, is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it. Seventh Grade Block Program I have ever deemed it more honorable and more prof- itable, too, to set a good example than to follow a bad one. Thomas Jefferson 4 3. The seventh grade Developmental Reading Class in R-101 is working on a grocery list. The grocery ads listed in the Wednesday Journal Gazette provide an excellent opportunity for comparison shopping. Developmental Reading is required of all sev- enth grade students. The course is designed to improve all students. Contrary to some thinking is the fact that even the best can still be better in all areas of reading. The desire to read and enjoy reading is a prime objective. 4. This Section 500 of the seventh grade after- noon block is perusing the newspaper. Classes are involved in newspaper projects during one week in November and another in April. Math is an important part of the block experi- ence, also.
