• • • This is our story This is our story, a record of our accomplishments through four years of hard work and play. It is a summary of our happy times, our physical and mental growth, our endeavors, and our final chapter—graduation. In writing this story there have been scenes, plots, and characters. In this drama of life many scenes have changed—from adolescence to physical maturity, from periods of depression as freshmen, to the heights of happiness at the junior prom and the senior dance. As we finish this final chapter, we hope other classes enjoy their school days as we have. These memories of Franklin Township High School will linger with us forever. 2

Table of Contents SETTING ... Set in our spacious lawn among stately trees our beautiful school is the nucleus of this dramatic story. Within its walls and crowded corridors we have mingled, chatted, studied, danced, and laughed our way to the end. We shall always remember the exciting ball games and the beautiful dances in our school gym. In our trophy case in the hall there is a reminder of the Championship Team of ’51. Other scenes will change, but this Setting— this Franklin—will remain as a pillar of wisdom, a pearl of reminiscences. CHARACTERS . . . We are the real characters in this story. We are the scared freshmen, the giggling sophomores, the excited juniors, and the dignified seniors. Each of us seniors, in different degrees of appreciation, approaches the last proofreading of his school record. We hope that those records are good blueprints of our characters, our attitudes, and our sportsmanship. PLOT . . . Our story has had an intriguing plot, for each of us has planned his school life differently. Some plotted for good grades; others, for fun and play. How- ever, we all believe that we have had a splendid class spirit, that we have cooperated with our teachers, and that we have learned to see the best in the other fellow. LOCAL COLOR . . . Our flashy cheerleaders in all modesty have added their encouraging cheers to the blue and gold. Their spirits are always high whether we are winning or losing. This small group is the synthesis, the core, the heart of the morale of our school.
