TABLE OF CONTENTS Running to catch the bus . . . hurrying to class . . . snatching a few minutes of study at lunch . . . decorating for a dance . . . going out for a sport... All this is a part of our school life. Stu- dents on the move, working hard and having fun. We seek out new ideas that stimulate our imagi- nations. We have good times with friends that we will never forget. We work hard, studying for the test tomorrow as well as planning for the years to come. We are truly going places. The 1968 Quill is Dedicated to Mr. Burt. For the past three years, Mr. David Burt has spent many hours working with members of the Class of ’68, not only in the classroom but in planning many of the class’s activities. Mr. Burt’s calm manner, rational thinking and wry humor have earned him the respect and admiration of all. Through his realistic approach to his subject, students learn to think and reason; not to accumulate facts and turn the crank.” The Senior Class is happy to dedicate the 1968 QUILL to him as a teach- er and a friend. 7 Mr. Burr snows AP class ■E Seniors move out in front with the Victor)1 Cry.'

Junior Class Presents Tom Jones Early in the school year the Junior class was or- ganized, with the following people as officers: Steve Weeks, Pres., Vincent Manetti as Vice Pres., and Margie Stetson as Sec. Trcas. Under the direction of Mr. Plischkc, the Junior Class pre- sented a play version of Tom Jones, which has been called one of the great realistic novels in the English language. The story is about Tom’s ad- ventures, and the theme, his subjection of emo- tion to judgement. With the help of Mr. Lozier, the Junior class had the prom in May. The theme was an under- water one, and the prom was a wonderful success. Leading the Junior Class were Vince Manetti as Vice President. Margie Stetson as Secretary, and Ken Weeks as President. 78 11k sponsors of the Junior Class were Mrs. Leslie, Mr. Lozier, Mrs. Lovcday. Mr. Jacobs. Mr. Dctar, Mr. Ondcr, Mr. McCormick, and Mr. Hill. 79 Bob Like records Bill Blundon’s poetry reading in Oral Communications class. Cindy Kenned)' attempts to chuck a thirty yard pass.

Program. Holland's familiar trademark, a windmill. This summer, Bill Johnston, Franklin’s Amer- ican Abroad candidate, sailed from New York aboard the S.S. Ryndam for Rotterdam, where he met his foster family, the Boskcrs. Bill spent the summer at the family’s farm in northern Nether- lands. Besides helping with the farm work and har- vest, Bill visited Germany which was only seven miles away, and took several trips through Hol- land with both his family and other AFS stu- dents. All too soon, Bill’s summer was over, and he left Holland to return to Murrysvillc. AFS is a great organization,” Bill said, and I’m very glad I got to be a part of it.” The Netherlands greatest secret agent, preparing for a mission. Here Is Hedi, Our 1968 American Field Service Student With her cheerful disposition, Hedi quickly became a part of the Franklin community. Only a few more weeks and I have to say good-bye to a country and to people who have given me a second home. I want to thank very much my family, the Cordners, the Frank- lin High School teachers as well as the students, and the whole Franklin community which was like a big family to me. When I go home to Germany I will take with me the memories of happy days which I was fortunate to spend in a wonderful country. My stay here in the United States was a great experience for me and I owe this to the American Field Service, an excellent organization whose purpose is to bring under- standing and peace between countries by exchanging young people. This song expresses the goal that AFS has set for its self; A plea for one world, is heard in many different lands. This is the plea of a world that is hungry for peace. Let all men live together, let all men come together, Striving to make the world better, pledging their lives for peace.” If you come to Germany, visit me.
