If you like our Annual and want it to have a permanent place in the school activities, there are two ways in which you can help to make it a success. First, patronize the advertisers who make the publication financially possible and make them feel that it is a good thing to advertise in the Posr 5 and secondly, ii you think it worth reading, buy copies for your friends who are interested in Franklin Academy. The physical training work introduced this year has been a decided success. The move of converting the chapel into a gymnasium was a good one, for it has made it possible for our, school to have a basket-ball team. In the girls' classes folk-dancing has been begun in preparation for a public exhibition ofthe dances. Library and laboratory work has been much more efliciently and conveniently done this year by theclassification and replenishing of the library and the purchase of new laboratory equipment. There are a large number of very good and up-to-date reference books in the library which are free to the pupils and inhabitants of the district. Why not make use of what the school can give you ? The editorial staff wishes to extend its most sincere thanks to all those who have helped in preparing this book. We appreciate very much the help that the members of the faculty have given us. To those outside of the school we are especially indebted to Miss Charlotte W. Howe for the statistics furnished for the Alumni department, and to Miss Carol Cooke for her invaluable help in the writing of the Senior poem. The drawing at the head of the Literary department is the work of Miss Sarah Polmanteer, and we are very pleased with it. This is only a beginning, and we hope to have in time a design for each department. FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 7 School Notes N Friday evening, October the 26th, the school held a Hallowe'en festival in the school building. In one room was the den of horrors where were displayed the heads of Bluebeard's wives and the headless man, everyone was given a free ride to Mars and usually returned in a very unexpected manner. In the Academic room there was a pretty program by the lower grades, in the upper hall a candy booth, in the lower hall a real gypsy fortune-teller, and in the class room a lunch counter. In the chapel there was the big show. af vaudeville performance consisting of clever songs and skits. The afternoon of the same day was given over to a fruit and poultry exhibit, the work of Mr. Whitteniore and the students of the Agricultural department. The proceeds ot the festival were used to purchase an electric programme clock for the school. To encourage parents to visit the school, the week of March 5th was set apart as Visitors' Week. During the live days quite a large number of people attended and the visitors were allowed to go about through the building as they pleased. The whole High School enjoyed a sleigh ride party at the home of Clara Prosser the night of Feb. 23d. A fine warm supper was served when we arrived and the rest of the time was spent in playing games and singing QU At a reasonably late hour, and after thanking our hostess for her hospitality, We decided to adjourn for home. When Uncle Sam said that our food production must be increased and the Board of Regents and the State Legislature permitted students having an average of 75 per cent. in their studies to leave school for the farms, thirty-six of our High School pupils responded. By far the greater majority of these live on farms, but there are also some town residents among the number. About ten out of the thirty-six are girls whose parents feel that they are needed at home. These Farm Cadets send in weekly reports of their work and are still under the supervision of the school. One student, Delos Saunders, a member of the Senior Class, has been accepted for army service, and has joined the Marine Corps. The patriotic spirit of one other member of the class, Park Arnold, is also to be commended, but Park was not so fortunate in passing the physical examination. 8 FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL THE DUTCH DETECTIVE 'F On Thursday, December 21, the pupils of Franklin Academy presented the fliree entitled, The Dutch Detective.

The little village seemed entirely deserted except for the one solitary person sitting on a bench in front of the village hotel. This lone being was anold colored man a.bout 70 years old, his pure white hair seemed to form a halo around his pitch-black face and to set off the redness of his lips, the bigness and blackness of his ears, the shininess of his nose, and the roll of his big, white eyes. Like all the other members of his race, he was dressed in an old, rusty black, shiny suit, very much the worse for wear and tear, his feet resembled canal boats in size and shape, his hands, quivering and shaking, looked as though they had seen hard work during the greater part of his life, for they were large, rough, and hard. Sambo, for such was his name, had indeed spent most of his life in hard work, before the war he had been a slave, after it, he had done whatever he could do to earn a living for his family. Now, in the sunset days of his life, Sambo, the last leat upon the tree, earned his living hy running errands for the hotel, and between errands dreamed and mused over the days of his youth. On this particular afternoon as Sambo was sitting in his usual place, on the shady side of the hotel, peacefully smoking his corncob pipe and thinking of how the cotton fields on the old plantation in Virginia would look on a day like this, he received a shock that sent his memories whirling back into the days of the war, when he was a slave on the plantation of Colonel Harding. Down the street came a young lady, who resembled the daughter of his old master so closely that the picture of an incident which happened during the Civil War came vividly to his mind. FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 11 Lord a-massyll' exclaimed Sambo, Ah shore thought that was lil' Missy Aileen, bless 'er heart. Pray tell me, who was Miss Aileen, Uncle? Sambo, frightened at this unexpected remark, turned around to face the very person who had reminded him of Aileen. She was slim, tall, and as graceful as the slender sapling in the woods: her large, dark eyes, the delicate features of her face, her smile, and the pretty little turn of her head as she spoke, all reminded him more forcefully of Aileen. Laws, Missy, if yo' was a lil' older I'd say that she was you. Missy Aileen was the lil' darter of mah old master, Colonel Hardin', of old Virginnyf' Why, then she was my mother, she cried out. My name is Alice Finley. Perhaps you remember my father, too? Yes, indeed, missy, 1 remember yore father when he was a courtin' lil' Miss Aileen. Ah! How well I remember those bright days on the old plantation! and here Sambo, forgetting his company, allowed his mind to wander back to the courtship of lil' Missy Aileen. He saw Aileen, a slender slip of a girl, even as her daughter was, growing up in her father's house, a sweet, lovable girl, almost worshipped by all the slaves and also by Robert Carter, the son of General Carter, a very good friend and neighbor of Colonel Harding. Carter was a typical southern youth, hot-headed and very strong in his hates and loves. He had loved Aileen beyond measure, ever since she was a mere girl and they had played games together with the little pickaninnies. Nothing had as yet happened to break in upon his dreams, he had no rival as far as he could lind out, for Aileen seemed to care more for him than for any one else among their acquaintances, and he was confident that when she was a little older, should he ask her to marry him, she would do so. Upon Aileen's seventeenth birthday a dance was given in her honor to which, of course, all the aristocrats of the county were invited. It so happened that at this particular time, Harold Finley, a young lawyer, whose home was in Boston, was visiting at the Carter home. Although his visit was primarily a business one, in accordance with true Southern courtesy, which rarely drew the line between pure business and pure social relations, he was invited to the dance. Contrary to the present custom of coming fashionably late to an affair of this kind, everyone came fashionably early. Sambo could see in memory how all the pickaninnies stood around to watch the guests arrive and could again hear the long drawn-out expression of admiration as Miss Aileen came down the broad stairway to greet her guests. Sambo with Miranda, who. dressed in a bright yellow dress trimmed with green, had seemed to him to be second only to Aileen in beauty, stood near the large 12 FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL parlor in which the guests Were assembled. He saw the quick glance of admiration given her by the stranger from Boston, he also saw that young Carter noticed the glance, and that for a second a very unpleasant expression came over his face. Massa Carter doan' like Missy Aileen to have no more beaus but him, Ah reckon, Sanibo had said to Miranda and Miranda had answered with a squeeze of his hand, being entirely too much engrossed with admiring the costumes of the ladies to put her answer into words. Oh! if Miranda were only here to talk to him now! How well Aileen and the young Northerner had looked as they danced together ! And how often they did dance ! The darkies talked about the dance for months afterward and they always seemed to dwell most, in their conversation, upon Aileen and the Northerner. It was not a very long time after the dance before Mr. Finley came to visit the home of Aileen's parents. Although this first visit was short, the succeeding ones grew longer and the intervening time shorter. He soon became a general favorite with the entire household and with everyone else except young Carter, whose intense jealousy and hatred of Finley knew no bounds. At last came the day when the engagement of Aileen to Mr. Finley was announced. Sambo had taken the announcement to the home of General Carter, and having been in the service of Colonel Harding for so many years, was accorded the privilege of remaining in the room while the message was read. They shall never be married while Iam alive, Carter cried out in his anger. She was mine until he came and took her away from me. Oh, Robert, renionstrated Mrs. Carter, If Aileen had really loved you, she would never have cared for Mr. Finley. It was simply true friendship that she felt toward you, and it is wrong for you to say that. Aileen would have loved me if he hadn't come. They shall never be married while I am alive, he answered doggedly. Sambo heard the threat with fear and trembling and tried to dissuade him, but to no avail. Robert would not be persuaded, but before he could carry out his threat, war was declared between the North and South and both men were called away to fight---the one for the North and the other for the South. During the first year of the war, the plantation of Colonel Harding was not molested by soldiers from either side, but during the second year skirmishes took place frequently in the near neighborhood, terrifying all the negroes and whites who could not be assured of their safety in any way. Aileen's father and the majority ofthe negroes on his plantation were, of course, in the army fighting for their cause, and so the management of the home fell upon Aileen FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 13 and Sambo, to whom the Colonel had entrusted the care and safety of the plantation. Sambo recalled clearly how proud he felt as the Colonel gave the plantation over to him, and how he could scarcely say, Thank you, massa, Missy Aileen will be safe with me, and how, with tears in his eyes, the Colonel had grasped his hand and told him that he trusted him beyond measure, and that Aileen's mother in heaven would protect them. Sambo had faithfully lived up to his trust, he watched Aileen when she was unaware of it, he took every precaution he could to insure her safety. Aileen would frequently laugh at him for being such an old fussy, but he could not be laughed out of his determination. Frequently he remembered the threat of Robert Carter and wondered what would happen if he and Finley should ever meet on the field of battle. The skirmishes around the plantation soon became more numerous and Sambo's mind was not a little disturbed when he discovered that Finley and Carter were the opposing leaders. Aileen, of course, knew nothing of Carter's threat against Finley, but nevertheless was greatly alarmed whenever any new skirmish took place, for although she loved Finley, she also felt a warm feeling of friendship toward Carter, with whom she had spent all her girlhood days. Her heart, too, was divided, for her desires and hopes were all with the South, but her love was- with Finley. How could she help both and be loyal to both? She knew that the slaves left on the plantation were carrying food to the Southcrners and were helping them in any way they could while everything was being done to hinder the Northerners. One day an unusually severe skirmish took place on the Harding plantation. Sanibo recalled how he had summoned all the slaves into the house, had barricaded the doors, and had stood ready to defend the house against the enemy. After a few hours of anxious waiting a loud knock was heard at the door, and entrance was demanded. Pushing Aileen behind the draperies, Sambo cautiously opened the door, but before he had a chance to open it very far, it was forcibly pushed open, and Carter and another man strode in, knocking Sambo to one side as they did so. After again securing the door, Carter faced Sambo. Now, you, tell me where she is,'l he demanded. Who? answered Sambo, fencing for time. She, Aileen. She is going to marry me now. Where have you hidden her ? My massa left me to protect lil' Missy Aileen, and I will. You'll have to kill me before you touch her. I will, if necessary, you nigger, and at that he sprang at Sambo 14 FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL as if to choke him, but Sarnbo was too quick for him, and with an agile leap he sprang aside, and Carter, entirely overbalanced by the force with which he had rushed forward, fell prone upon the floor. You nigger! he exclaimed, picking himself up, You'll suffer for this. Take that---and that ! He pulled out his revolver and was shooting directly at Sambo's head, or where he thought Sambo's head ought to beg but Sambo was jumping around in front of him in so many different ways and the smoke was so very thick that every aim went amiss. Then Carter, almost beside himself with rage, turned toward his companion. Can't you help me rid the earth of this infernal rascal? No, I cannot, Robert. I cannot help you kill one of the race that we are fighting for. You're just about as bad as he is. If you weren't white I'd be tempted to put a bullet through you, too. Take a care there, Robert, or you might get the bullet first. No danger, I guess, and at that Carter tired a shot at him. Both Sambo and the minister now sprang toward him. Revolvers were fired otf and in the noise and confusion no one noticed that the door had been broken open and that Harold Finley had entered---that is, none except Aileen who had spied him coming toward the house and had signaled for him to hurry. What is the trouble here, anyway ?' he demanded. This house is in our possession for the time being. Explain this. Sambo and the minister, thrown off their guard by his sudden appearance, temporarily loosened their hold on their captive. Carter, taking advantage of it, sprang up and grappled with Finley. Either you or I must die, and I prefer it to be you, he jerked out as they struggled together. Carter, already worn out from struggling with Sambo and the minister, was soon thrown to the floor by his opponent, but still had strength enough left to pull Finley down with him. As they fell, Carter reached over for his revolver, put his finger on the trigger and turned it toward Finley's head. Finley, realizing Carter's purpose, made a sudden move and the shot, intended for his own head, went through Carter's instead. Sambo could still feel the tenseness of the situation and the awful anxiety lest some harm should befall Aileen. He remembered, even now with a sigh of relief, how relieved he had been to know that Carter was dead, shot by himself in an effort to kill someone else, and that his threat had turned out to be his own undoing. In order to avoid any complications of any kind, a brief funeral sermon was preached over the dead man, and Sambo, together with the minister, carried out the body FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 15 and buried it, while Finley stayed to encourage Aileen. Sambo was sure that to this day no one except himself and the minister, besides Aileen and Finley, knew anything about the real reason for Carter's death. At this point he suddenly remembered that he had been talking to Aileents daughter, and turning to speak to her found that she was no longer there, for Alice, noticing the dreamy look coming into the old man's eyes, had silently stolen away and left him to his dreams. ERNEST KENNEDY, '17. What Became of the Relic T was a beautiful day in July and Tom as usual was enjoying the pleasure of sitting on the porch reading and eating cookies. He had not been sitting there long before his brother Pete, who was mowing the lawn called to him to come and watch the pet calf, while it ate some of the clover which grew in one corner ofthe lawn,nand to see that it did not run away. So Tom picked up his hook and the chair in which he was sitting and walked down to the corner where the calf was peacefully eating, As fate would have it, the chair was a very antique one, and a relic cherished very much by 'l'om's mother, as it was over one hundred years old, and had been given to her by her grandmother. When Tom reached the corner where the grass was so high, he placed the chair in a shady place, sat down, tied the calf to the arm of the chair and proceeded to read. In the meantime Pete was working very industriously with the lawn mower, and did not even hear his mother call to Tom to come and get hera pail of water. But he soon realized that Tom was not in the chair, for as he pushed the lawn mower toward the spot where the chair had been, he saw the precious chair bobbing up and down over the ill used calf's back and the calf trying to run out from under it and both were going at a very swift rate of speed down the road. Pete's cry of dismay brought his mother to the door, and made the hired man who was working in the vegetable garden look up to see what was the trouble. At the sight of the chair bobbing down the road at such a terrific rate of speed, Tomls mother became very angry and Pete's face began to lengthen, but Tom, who always looked on the funny side of life, laughed until the tears rolled down his cheeks, and the hired man also laughed until he was brought back to his senses by Tom's mother who told him to get out the Ford and bring the calf back. A In the meantime, pieces of the chair were flying in all directions, 16 FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL a round in one direction, the back in another, and an arm in still another, until only the arm to which the rope was tied remained, and that certainly was a sad looking arm. Pete ran down the road after the calf, and had gone quite adistance before the hired man succeeded in starting the ear. He soon caught up with Pete, took him into the car, and then raced on after the calf. When he had gone about a mile he came upon the calf which stood by the side of the road viewing the remains. He took them back in the car, stopping often to pick up some part of the chair, but to this day the chair has never been put together again, and I fear that it never will be.

Our colors !' Nature's favorite green Combined with gold of lustrous sheen, Green of the forest, cool and deep, Green of the nnountain's wooded steep, Shimmering green of the waving rye, Greenvof the sea 'neath a stormy sky, Gold of a sunset day in spring, Gold like the flash of a yellow-bird's wing, Gold of the metal whose worth is untold Such are our colors, the green and the gold l To choose our colors was easy But we found our hardest task, In trying to choose a motto As a lesson for our class. We searched the library o'er- - Through the books on every shelf Till the words: He who would conquer others, First must conquer himself, Caught the eye of one of the teachers Who pointed it out to us, And we chose it for our motto Without more worry or fuss. For wherever the future may find us, Wherever our life path leads We must learn to conquer our own desires Ere we can do noble deeds, 'Twill be fight to conquer our tempers, Our selfishness and our greed, 'Twill be iight to keep our convictions And fight to defend our creed, But if we light and conquer, If our victory o'er 'self is complete, We have but to forge on and upward And the world will be at our feet. A FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 21 So, as we leave old Franklin, Bid farewell to the dear old walls, We will take with us the motto, Which we learned within her walls. We will cherish it with the lessons We have learned from day to day, We will profit by its teaching As we go upon our way. Now we say good-bye to Franklin, School of which we're justly proud, And ever, as true Alumni, We will sing her praises loud. Prophecy of the Senior Class of 1917 HEN I was chosen prophetess of the class of 1917 hy the Juniors, I sincerely wished that these were days of old, 'when good fairies, everywhere present, appeared at one's side and fulfilled his desires, for I did so long to know just what the future held in store for each member of the Senior Class. One evening as I was sitting by the iireside, looking intently at the fire, thinking about everything in general, but nothing in particular, I suddenly became lost to the afiairs of this world and seemed to be transported to those of another. Soon my chair was whirling around in space, and I, frightened, called for help. My cry was answered by the appearance of an old woman, who seemed to come from fairyland. Quickly seizing my hand, she drew me on and on, over hills and plains, rivers and seas, until at last we reached a large building which we entered. I at once recognized this building as a theatre. My. godmother, as I will call this strange old woman who had so kindly taken me under her care, led me to a seat, and sitting beside me, told me that my wish would soon he fulfilled for moving pictures were to be the principal event of the evening. I wondered how moving pictures were going to fulfill my wish, but asked nothing, yet eagerly awaited them. The first picture thrown on the canvas was that of an American army being led against the Germans. All the soldiers seemed to be most enthusiastic, for they were waving American fiags and their hats and, judging from the motion of their lips, they were singing, Dixie Landf' At the head of this army rode the commander, a tall, slender girl on a beautiful black horse, whom I thought must he the Joan of Arc of America. On and on they rode, swiftly, eagerly, I was eager to see 2- 22 FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL who the commander was but was about to give up all hope when finally she turned around, and to my utmost surprise, I recognized Dorothy Stone, the beloved president of the Senior Class. The next scene was that of a jungle in South Africa in which a small group of the natives was shown. In front of one of the huts I saw a tall elderly gentleman, who, while talking to the natives, would scratch his head and then look at his finger nails for inspiration. This action reminded me of a person whom I thought I knew, but could not just remember where I had known him. Turning to my godmother, I asked her who this person was and she willingly told me that it was Park Arnold, the most famous missionary of the time. The moving picture show was followed by a vaudeville performance. I couldn't imagine how this was to affect my wish but that didn't hinder me any from enjoying the performance because I took especial delight in watching the exquisite dancing of the leading actress who was graceful beyond all description. Although rather short and inclined to be fat, she overcame this hindrance by the charm of her personality and the agility of her movements. Suddenly she stopped dancing, came toward the front ofthe stage, held out both hands, opened her mouth and began to sing a most pathetic litte ditty about preserving the walks that lead to the reservoir. As soon asI heard her voice, I jumped up excitedly and exclaimed, Why, thatis Ella McDowell! and almost fell over the balcony railing in my amazement. When the curtain came down on the vaudeville performance, my godmother asked me if I did not wish to see the rest of the Seniors. As that was my desire, I replied that I did. Placing me in her car, she took me down to the poorer section of the city. We stopped in front of an old shanty where we saw a large fleshy woman bending over a wash tub and up to her elbows in soap suds. As she heard us approaching, she looked up so suddenly that her wig, which was insecurely fastened on, fell over to one side, balanced lightly on the side of the tub and then fell into the water. A familiar smile greeted us and my godmother introduced me to Miss Cornelia Pratt. Then we started back to the wealthier part of the city and stopped in front ofa beautiful mansion. My godmother warned me to walk very cautiously and so we went and peeked in at the window. Inside they were holding a grand ball and as I was watching them I saw a distinguished looking lady dressed in silks and diamonds, with extremely high-heeled slippers, which, if truth be told, did make her look a. trifle top-heavy. As she danced a little nearer to the window through which we were looking, I readily recognized my old schoolmate, Erva Wraight, formerly the belle of West Hill, now the belle of this place. FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 23 But we were suddenly interrupted by a policeman who came up and grufliy ordered us to move on. That voice had a familiar sound and it seemed to come from his very boots Which, I soon discovered, were about six feet from his mouth. Immediately I remembered, this was Delos Saunders, the eighth wonder of the World. Who would ever have dreamed that he would become a cop ? The next morning was Sunday morning and we started for home. When we arrived at the next town, we decided to go to church. We entered the church and sat down not noticing the preacher. When I did finally look at him,'I could scarcely believe my eyes, for there on the platform sat Ernest Kennedy, who, when he got up to stand behind the pulpit had to push a small foot stool in front of him and stand on it so that people could see him, although they certainly had no diiiiculty in hearing him. After church I turned to inquire how it happened that Ernest had ever calmed down enough to become a minister, but I found myself again alone at my own hearth. I have since wondered whether these events will really occur or if it were justa dream. DOROTHY E.

The first game was played on the Fifth of December with Haverling High School. The team was defeated by a score of 64-12. But this defeat was not taken seriously as it was the first game that had been played, and the first that some ofthe players had ever seen. At this time the girls' team was formed, and at almost the same time a team of smaller boys who called themselves The Infants, was formed. The second game was played with Pulteney the Fifteenth of December. The game resulted in a defeat for the High School boys. The Infants played with, and defeated the Midgets, a team from Pulteney, as a preliminary. The third game was with Atlanta. This was also played at Prattsburgh. The game was won by the visitors, although the score was very close. The Infants played the girls' team as a preliminary. The fourth game was played with Pulteney.

In the spring the base ball ball team played a game with Pulteney which they won by a score of 15-13. Many boys throughout the county took advantage of the law recently passed by the legislature which allowed them either to, enlist in the army or in the farm cadet service. The officers of the County Athletic Association at a meeting held in Corning in April decided not to have the track meet as so many boys had left school that many of the schools could not be properly represented.

One placarded his sausages at one shilling a pound and the rival promptly placed eight pence on his card. Number One then placed a notice in his window, saying that sausages under one shilling could not be guaranteed. Number Two's response to this was the announcement: I have supplied sausages to the King.
