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. A 4

The First Day Begins The Story Of A Year On August 31, 1967, students ascended the steps of Franklinton High School the first of one hundred eighty times to come this year. 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.
