w Mr. Copeland Of all the many splendid contributions, of the Class of 1938, one of the finest is the current edi- tion of the Eagle. An honest attempt has been made to assemble, herein, an accurate picture of our school days togetherg so that those who fol- low, in our foot-steps, may be inspired to emulate and foster those ideals for which we have striven. There has arisen, within our ranks, an un- faltering belief that we shall not drift with the tide, but that we shall chart our own course in the direction of those ideals, that have become a tra- dition within our school. To that end, we chal- lenge, those who follow, to hold high the standard and dare to believe in our philosophy of life. To you, the Seniors of '38, I desire to express the appreciation of the faculty for the completion of a task Well done and to solicit your co-opera- tion as you labor in other fields of service. 5611811

Mr. Welborn The present trustee, Mr. Welborn, together with the advisory board, Mr. Meyer, Mr. Foust, Mr. Curtis and their immediate predecessors have engineered changes in the properties, faculty, and curricula of the school, that has brought a most commendable rating from the state department of education. As a result of their efforts, the Frankton school now operates on a continuous commission instead of a yearly commission as formerly. This is not a mere happen-so improvement. It was planned in the follow-i ing Way. The building was painted, efficient commercial facilities were added, equipment in the domestic science department was doubled, shop equipment was doubled, supplementary reading material was increased in the elementary grades, and last but not least, first grade licenses were de- manded of teachers and permits eliminated. These men have realized that Ustinginess in education was poor econ- omy and have striven to get the most real value from the tax payer's dollar. Last year they added a new heating unit and toilet facilities to the gymnasium and added vocational agriculture to the curriculum. Voca- tional home economics had already been added. Next year they hope to plaster the gymnasium and knock out the ramp that leads into it. We appreciate their work. Mr. Foust Mr. Meyer Mr. Curtis six
