As in the years before, this day is filled with the routines of arranging schedules, receiving books, and greeting friends in the drug store afterwards. Yet there are changes and new activiti es which make this year different from all the rest. The addition of twelve new faculty members, the journal¬ ism class, increased lunch prices, and even the banish¬ ment of Pepsi-Cola from lunches, with the compensa¬ tive permission to enjoy lunch time on the lawn, are among the many things which form the individual and special story of the 1967-68 school year. Academics Effective communication is the key offered in English, French and journalism English courses are offered for the college-bound student and the high school graduate. Their main purposes dre to help the student understand what he reads, com¬ prehend what he hears, and express himself in speech and writing. Teachers of the English courses are Miss Edith Jackson, Mrs. Betty Timberlake, and Mrs. Jane Wil¬ der. The Language Department atFranklinton High School emphasizes oral and written communication. It includes English I, II, III, and IV, French I and II, and journalism. The French classes at Franklinton High School use films, records, and books for outside material. The purposes of French I and II are to help the students to read, write, and speak a foreign language. Miss Edith Jackson teaches both French I and II. The journalism class, taught by Mrs. Timberlake, is new at Franklinton High School this year. The course is designed to help the student become a bet¬ ter writer, reader, individual, and ultimately, a better citizen. The students work on the yearbook and school newspaper. They write copy, crop pictures, lay out pages and proofread. Skills in co-operation, organization, and leadership are gained through group work. Such traits as tact, initiative, and punc¬ tuality are also developed.

Students also gain knowledge and skills that would help in a study of higher mathematics. The curriculum includes general math and Algebra I for freshmen, geometry and Algebra II for sophomores and jimiors, advanced math for college-bound seniors, and business math for seniors who desire a course designed to help them in business fields. Mrs. Margaret Pruette, who teaches five math classes a day, heads the department. She is assisted by Mr. Luther Harrison and Mrs. Ruth Martin. 6 Academics Practical experience dominates science instruction 8 Study and practice are emphasized in Biology I and II taught by Mr. Hiram J. Guedalia, In these courses students learn through practical experiences such as dissecting animals, collecting insects, and using microscopes. A complete study is also made of the de¬ velopment of plants and animals. Each semester students are required to read books pertaining to biology or to do some form of biological experiment. Physical science, chemistry, and physics are taught by Mr. Luther Harri¬ son. In physical science, students are concerned with the study of the earth and become aware of the relationships between animals and their environ¬ ment. Chemical laws in balancing for¬ mulas and the structure of everyday materials are emphasized in chemis¬ try. Through work in the lab, students gain practical experience and find, so¬ lutions to problems. In physics, stu¬ dents analyze natural occurrences in relation to the fundamental principles of matter and energy. Practical work includes the use of the slide rule and charts. 9 Academics Health and PE emphasize exercise and good habits 10 The P.E. and Health Depart¬ ment, under the direction of Mrs. Julia Carr, Mr. Hiram Guedalia, and Mr. Richard Blackwelder, provides instruction in physical and mental health as well as ath¬ letics. Good grooming and the study of body parts and functions are included in the health pro¬ gram. Medical Self Help, a new unit this year, is designed to teach the student first aid and care of a sick or injured person. Students develop bodies as they learn the rudiments of football, baseball, basketball, soccer, volleyball, and acrobatics. 11 Academics I Social studies department makes use of library I 12 I I i I I 1 i { ,1 |i A nation that does not know its past cannot understand its present and is not likely to have a future. ' ' This motto of the U. S. history classtaught by Mrs. Jane Wil¬ der encourages the students to prepare themselves to deal with present and future problems with knowledge and insight gained from earlier generations. Practical work includes oral reports from several sources. Each student must read a minimum of t vo books that may be classified as biography, history, or historical fiction. Mr. Richard Blackwelder instructs two classes of world history and one U.S. history class in the F.H.S. cur¬ riculum. The classes are required to keep notebooks and do parallel reading of related materials. All the history classes find the F.H. S. library a great help in their reading assignments. They can select their information from a total of 5,973 books, 27 magazines, and 3 newspapers. Mrs. Fred Blount, school librarian, appraises the selection of books as goodj but she adds, We always need more and newer books. 13 Academics Efficient business department prepares students for office work Our Business Department, though small, is efficient and well sponsored. Its purpose is to prepare the students for the business world, for office work is among the most popular and most important careers. Our business curriculum includes Typing I, office practice, bookkeeping, and shorthand. Students enrolled in Typing I are introduced to the basic rules of typing. In office practice students leam how to use the dictaphone, adding machine, and dupli¬ cator. They also learn how to type business letters and reports. Bookkeeping teaches the students to keep books for a single individual or a big business. Students en¬ rolled in shorthand leam the Gregg method of taking dictation. Mrs. Ruth Martin heads the Business Department. She attended Lenoir-Rhyne College at Hickory, N.C., and has an A.B. degree in business education. I i l! 14 16 Academics r I I I Vocational Education builds skills in homemaking, agriculture, business, and citizenship Home Economics is a comprehensive course in the art of home management and the pro¬ vision of family needs. Under the direction of Mrs. laleen Mode, the basic skills of sewing, cooking, child care, and budget planning are taught. Mr. Howard Boling, head of the Agriculture Department, encourages his students to strive for high goals in mechanics, farming, and con¬ struction. The study of parliamentary procedure enables the students to participate in politics and government. Competition with other schools provides active experience in this field. Introduction to Vocations, Distributive Edu¬ cation, and Basic Economics have brought forth much interest this year from the students of F.H.S. The instructor, Mr. Carl Grad, not only uses classroom lectures as a method of teach¬ ing, but also schedules numerous field trips. In this way, the students are brought face to face with the actual situations being studied on class. 17 I Organizations New look evident in Franoca; newspaper revived Several major changes have taken place giving the ' 68 FRAN¬ OCA a new look. Emphasis has been placed on the entire school rather than on the level of high school alone . A new technique in advertising has also been added to the yearbook. These changes re¬ sulted from application of good journalism rules. The purpose of attending school is for an educa¬ tion; therefore, the staff chose The Story of the School Year as the theme of the 1968 FRANOCA . Journalism has been added to this year ' s curriculum and a news¬ paper has resulted from this course. The Charger is an ad¬ vanced type of school newspaper. The staff has tried to cover that which is news in a factual, yet in¬ teresting way. Charger: Editor, Brenda Webb; Reporters, Jim Flefner, Diane Barnette, Sonja Beckham, Mabel Kingsberry. Business Manager, Martha Whitfield; Co-Editor, Barry Burger, Ruthie Pearce; Editor, Alice Green; Adviser, Mrs. Betty Timberlake . 18 ■I ! I Banquet highlights year for The presentation of the Most Valuable Player trophy in basketball to Tommy Cooke by Coach Guedalia was the high spot of the 1967 Monogram Banquet. Monogram Club members Participating in a team sport, managing, or cheering qualify sophomores, juniors, and seniors for admission into the Mono¬ gram Club atFranklinton High School. This membership allows the students to attend the annual Monogram Banquet, an impor¬ tant social event at F.H.S. and the only fund-raising activity for the organization. At the 1967 banquet, awards and letters were distributed to promising newcomers and to members having shown outstanding participation. Sport jackets are awarded to boys belong¬ ing to a subdivision of the Monogram Club which honors boys in football and basket¬ ball. This organization differs from the Monogram Club in that a boy may be ex¬ pelled if he does not participate in either football or basketball throughout high school. 19 Organizations Beta Club emphasizes honesty, service, leadership Meritorious achievement, high character, and leadership ability serve as requirements for membership in the Beta Club at Franklinton High School. The purpose of the club is to promote the ideals of honesty, service and leadership among high school students of America and to encourage and as- siststudents to continue their education after high school. Programs given at the monthly meetings are geared toward helping the students in their present high school studies and future college studies. Officers for the club are Alice Green, President; Annette Ball, Vice- President; Hope Medlin, Secretary; and Brooks Bennett, Treasurer.

Dancing, danc¬ ing, and more dancing highlighted this groovy evening. Couples made the scene at tire swinging Bastille where tliey frugged, watusied, swam, and jerked the night away to the sweet soul music of the psychosoundsational Inmates. The juniors put to use record covers, revolving lights, and go-go cages in decorating the discotheque . When they finished, the Bastille was filled with mobiles, pictures of musical instru¬ ments, and a model of Twiggy. Music, dancing, and wild decorations all made for a rocking time between eight and twelve . Ji. Athletics Football season yields 2-8 record for Rams The 1967 football season atF.H.S. was a frus¬ tratingtime for fans and players alike. Mistakes led the Rams to eight defeats, but likewise fine runs, good blocking, and the over-all desire to win led the Rams to two victories. Although no team member was completely satisfied with this year ' s season, it is a fact thatthis year ' s team had made many improve¬ ments. F.H.S. is especially proud of David Secor, Cliff Williams, and Freddie Coats, who were chosen as Tar River All-Conference players. Freddie Coats also received honorable mention in the selections of the All-Eastfootball squad. Co-captains for the 1967 football season were David and Freddie. The football cheerleaders also did an outstanding job. Brenda Webb was chief and Susan Johnson was co-chief. Other members of the squad were Shanna Moore, Janet Carr, Joan Blackley, Sue Biarke, Ruthie Pearce, Deborah Satterwhite, Mary East, Sharon Champion, Betty Ann Wilder, Diane Collins, and Carolyn Bracknell. The following boys were members of the 1967 football team: Donnie Beckham Mac Beckham, Brooks Bennett, Dennis Carter, Freddie Coats, Mike Collins, Warren Collins, Gary Dement, Stuart Fakes, Everette Frye, Jim Flefner, Eddie Holmes, Terry Isenhour, Billy Johnson, Mike Johnson, Bobby Kearney, Haywood Lawrence, Tim Leonard, Glenn Phelps, Charles Privette, A1 Sandling, David Secor, Spencer Stricldand, A1 Thompson, David Thompson, Gordon Wilder, Cliff Williams, Dudley Whitaker. 35 EEBESBSn Athletics Experience is gained from the defeats and the hard-earned victories The Rams took their first victory of the season in the opener with Spring Hope, thrilling both fans and players with tire final score of 20-12. The following week ' s contest proved to be a disaster. Penalties and mistakes provided the Oxford Orphanage Red Devils with a staggering score of 38-0 . Determined to show their ability, the Rams charged onto the Wakelon field September 7. After making a touchdown early in the first quarter, the boys were determined to hold onto the lead. This proved to be the over-all story until late in the game when the Bulldogs scored their first touchdown and the conversion attempt was good, placing the score at 7-6. The Rams tried in vain to gain possession of the ball; the game ended with the heartbreaking score 7-6. After losing to Louisburg, Norlina, and Helena, the Rams showed their strength as a team, defeating Elm City with the impressive score 34-7. The Rams made 27 of their 34 points in the third period. 1 37 Athletics Skill, teamwork, and hustle promise winning season for Rams The basketball season got off to a good start this year with the Franklinton Rams de¬ feating the Oxford Orphanage Red Devils 63-38. After a close first quarter Franklin¬ ton broke loose to score 29 points in the second period. This winning burst was led by newcomer Foster Brodie, With help from the bench, the Rams proved their strength in reserves. Franklinton ' s Rams downed Gold Sand Friday, December 8, by a score of 62-50 to win the first conference game of the sea¬ son. Gold Sand took the lead early in the first quarter and at the end of the period held a six-point lead over the Rams. Fos¬ ter Brodie sparked the Rams ' attack in the second quarter, giving Franklinton a four- point advantage at half-time. The on¬ slaught continued throughout the tliird and fourth quarterswith Brodie leading the scor¬ ing with 37 points. Franklinton made one of the best show¬ ings ever seen at the Franklinton Gym Tues¬ day, December 12. Several of the Rams had double figures as a result. Oxford Orphanage was trampled by the unbelievable score of 85-32. After a losing streak of three games in the second part of the season, the boys bounced back to take a conference win over Edward Best with the score of 80-59. The Rams overpowered Louisburg in the final game of the season, placing the record at 15 wins, 5 losses. Co-captains for the Rams were Charles Goswick and David Secor. 38 The members of the 1967-68 Varsity Basketball team are as follows: (FIRST ROW) Coach Hiram Guedalia, David Secor, Spencer Fakes, Foster Brodie, Charles Goswick, Mac Beckham, Billy Johnson, Haywood Lawrence; (SEC¬ OND ROW) Manager Brooks Bennett, Mike Collins, Dennis Carter, Tim Leonard, Warren Collins, Lewis Edwards, Dudley Whitaker, statistician. 39 1 I This fervor and enthusiastic spirit is the result of the basket which put the Rams in the lead and gave them full control of the ball game December 8 with Gold Sand. The morhent characterizes all the loyalty, zeal, and pride with which? . H. S . students follow the efforts of our school athletes. Athletics Ramettes show spirit even in defeat Franklinton ' s RAMETTES paced the seasonwith four wins this year, proving their ability to move the ball down court. The season opener saw the RAM¬ ETTES defeated by the Red Devils of Oxford Orphanage with the score of 36-24. The RAMETTES were unable to catch the Gold Sand Blue Devils, and as a result took the second loss of the season on December 8. Leesa Elarris and Emy Eishel showed much spirit in the Oxford Orphanage game December 12. The Orphanage team handed the girls their third loss of the season, but everyone agrees the RAMETTES showed some fine playing. The girls ' spunk and determination certainly helped them as the season progressed. Near the season ' s end, the Ramettes surprised third-ranked Edward Best with a conference win of 24-22. Co-Captains for the Ramettes were Dolores Johnson and Brenda Webb. 42 The Ramettes of 1967-68 were: (1st ROW) Joyce Frazier, Hope Medlin, Dolores Johnson, Brenda Webb, Leesa Harris; (2nd ROW) Barbara Alford, Joan Blackley, Kathy Toler, Annette Ball, Donna Freddy, Karen Colbert, Diane Cannady; (3rd ROW) Wendy Gupton, manager; Diane Col¬ lins, Sandy Dixon, Shanna Moore, Emy Fishel, Julia F. Carr, coach; Connie Hagwood, Donna Collins, and Donna Mitchell, manager. 43 1 Athletics Franklinton track team captures conference championship with 7-0 record Coach Hiram Guedalia had quite a bit of material to work with in the spring of 1967. Record after record was broken by the team in the conference meet, where the Rams were named conference champions. Charles Gos- wick set a new record in the 880 with a time of 2;03; Freddie Coats set a record in the 440 with the time of 55. Brooks Bennett ran the mile in 4:52 . Da vid Secor set a new shotput record with a distance of 42 feet 6 inches, and Tommy Cooke jumped 18 feet 8 inches to seta new broad jump record. Two records were set per¬ taining to height: Mike Goswick went over the bar at 5 feet? inches, and Larry Parker pole vaulted 10 feet. The mile relay team composed of Charles Goswick, Freddie Coats, Tommy Cooke, and Dennis Carter also set a record with the time of 3:37. Team members felt that their success was made possible through the fine coach¬ ing of Mr. Guedalia. When asked about the coming season, Goach Guedalia replied, The team will become conference champions and it will be one of the best teams in the state . 44 45 Athletics Boys compete in Duke Relays Win after win delighted the coach and the entire student body. Actually small in size, the track team defeated such large schools as Vaiden Whitley and Northern Nash7 and went so far as to set a number of conference records. The Franklinton track members were winners in their sec¬ tion at the Duke Relays. Charles Goswick, Freddie Coats, Dennis Carter, and Tommy Cooke came within four seconds of the Duke Relay record. Among other schools defeated by the Rams are Louisburg, South Granville, and Oxford Orphanage. The following boys were members of the 1967 track team: (KNEEL¬ ING) Brooks Bennett,. Coach Hiram Guedalia, Charles Goswick; (FIRST ROW, standing) Freddie Coats, Dennis Carter, Tommy Cooke, David Secor, John Dement, Larry Parker; (SECOND ROW, standing) Cliff Williams, AlSandling, Mike Goswick, Donald Day, Johnny Wheelous, Dudley Whitaker, Darrell Tant; (not pictured) Barry Mangum, Joel Webb. 47 ♦at Athletics Baseball team improves as year progresses The 1967 baseball team was small in size, which may account for the losses of the season. The crack of the bat at Helena started the beginning of a disappointing year. The Helena players rounded the bases eleven times while the less fortunate Rams had only one run in the game . The Rams ' determination led them to a first victory of the year, over Edward Best by a score of 9-2. Franklinton came within one run of tieing the conference champions, Youngsville . The Rams outscored Bunn the last game of the season, for the second win. When the season ended, the Rams ' record was two wins and ten losses. What can be expected of the coming season? The boys feel sure they will surprise and delight the en¬ tire school. The following boys were members of the 1967 baseball team: Mac Beckham, Brook Bennett, Fred Clarke, Mike Collins, Warren Collins, To mmy Cooke, Jim Hefner, Eddie Holmes, Billy Johnson, Tim Leonard, Glenn Phelps, Spencer Strickland, Harold Woodlief. 48 1 People Adults, students give life to FHS 50 I t Every individual, adult or child, has played an essential part in this school year. Teachers and administrators have organized and directed learning activities, office as¬ sistants and bus drivers have helped to carry out school business, the maintenance and cafeteria staffs have kept the days running smoothly, and the students as a whole have added life and have determined the atti¬ tude of the school. 51 People He is known as teacher, coach, and friend of the student. 52 As a teacher he has made learning fun as well as interesting by using a method that is different from any other. He not only teaches, but shows his stu¬ dents how they can put what they learn to use in their lives. He concludes his classes with his unforgettable phrase-- Any questions . . . problems . . . he artaches? As a coach he has instilled in every athlete a winning spirit and a desire to reach his utmost capabilities. He is a man who will be satisfied with nothing less than the best--and his athletes give him no less than 100% all of the time because they would not let him down for the world. As a person he has won our hearts and served as our leader. So with great pride and sincere gratitude, we dedi¬ cate this, the 1968 FRANOCA to Coach G. --Hiram J. Guedalia. 53 People I Execution of business provides stability for FHS Mr. Wesley Jackson, Principal Mrs. Bettie Harris, Secretary Mrs. Sarah Whitfield, Secretary 54 I Mrs. R. B.

David Secor brought honor to the class by being chosen a member of the All¬ conference football squad. In December, Pamela Radford won the Miss Franoca beauty title, and two other seniors were finalists in the pageant. The journalism class, made up of seniors with the ex¬ ception of one student, put tremendous effort into re¬ viving the school newspaper and making it a quality publication. Time at F.H.S. is growing short for the seniors of ' 68, but tire future lies ahead as a challenge to be met with courage, determination, and most of all with enthusiasm. 59 Sonja Sue Beckham Louisburg Players, dancing, viva- cioros Susan Elaine Cothran sweet, typist, scholarship Marjorie Janet Dixon ECU, studious, dependable Clarence Michael Goswick reserved, individualist, Donna Andrew Jay Frazier Chevy, produce, reports William Larry Goswick bus, good sport, physics Barry Glenn Burger ECU, friendly, news hound 60 Patricia Sue Harper Donald, Norlina, geometry Jeffrey Carlyle Cash quiet, prompt (?), married Alice Adelaide Green boys, D, S, R, (?)
