We, as a staff, extend our thanks to the community as a whole, and especially to those who have advertised in our annual, and we are especially grateful to those, who have purchased copies of the same. We have tried to make this publica- tion worth while and readable. As for mistakes we will ignore them entirely and hope that our readers will be charitable. We also wish to thank all members of the staff, who have worked hard to make the POST a success. We also appreciate the assistance rendered by the faculty and pupils, who have contributed themes and ideas so generously. To the School Board we are also grateful for the interest they have taken in our work. If any of you have passed our homes since the first of March, you no doubt, remember seeing a light at our place. That light symbolizes the fire in our minds and from the material that fed this fire, we have obtained that which you now hold in your hand, the 1922 edition of the FRANKLIN Pos'r. The Senior class, through the generosity of the people of Prattsburgh were able to take that very instructive Washington trip, to which all Seniors eagerly look forward. The class, as a whole, wish to thank the people who helped them so willingly with all their efforts, and they appreciate the kindness of all concerned. The pecuniary assistance rendered bythe Board of Education to the Athletic Association has helped it over the rough places. We realize that we could have had no basketball season if we had not had this aid. In a way of appreciation we, as a school, tried to make a good showing in the basketball line. 3' ll' age: , if ef. lvl ll if .H . ri-vsvv1'Qqg?

The conflicting claims upon this territory between New York and Massachusetts were settled by a board of commissioners, and by their decision the claim was given to New York: but the pre-emption of Indian titles to Massachusetts. In the year 1787 this pre-emption was sold to Messrs. Oliver Phelps and Nathaniel Gorham. From them it was conveyed to Mr. Robert Morris of Revolutionary War fame, then to Col. Charles Williamson who acting as an agent for a11 English association transferred the title to Sir Wm. Pulteney. After his death this great tract of land was known as the Pulteney Estate. In the year 1799 a man by the name of Captain Joel Pratt came from Columbia County on horseback to Steuben County. He erected a log cabin on Urbana Hill five miles southeast of Prattsburgh but afterwards went away. The next year he came again, cleared the land and sowed some wheat. In 1802 Mr. Pratt and Wm. Root of Albany contracted for the purchase of the township of Prattsburgh from the Pulteney Estate and here Mr. Pratt moved with his family from Urbana Hill i11 1805. However Mr. Joel Pratt was not the first settler of Prattsburgh as jared Pratt and his family had come to this township in the year 1800. Others came and finally in the year I806 the population had increased to about twenty-five. It is of some interest to know that the first white child to be born in this settlement was a daughter of Jared Pratt, Maryetta Pratt. The first death was a daughter of Esq. Curtis. About the year 1808 Prattsburgh was designated as a postofiice station and post-riders began regular trips between Geneva and Bath pass- ing through this settlement. However, through political influence the route was afterwards changed to the east side of Lake Keuka. For a few years the people of Prattsburgh were without a postoflice station but at last they again had another system and thereby mails were received regularly. About the year 1816 a small school-house was erected and later in the year I824 Franklin Academy was founded. FRANKLIN ACADEINIY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 9 I11 1848 tl1e village of Prattsburgh was incorporated. The early records were destroyed by tire, but under the new charter of IS77 E. T, Watkiiis was elected village president. One important event which tended towards the welfare of tl1e town was the building of the Prattsburgh railroad. The work was begun on july 29, 18318 and the first train passed over the completed road October 9, 1339. ---I fw'111a1'1z cll'0S.YIIll7l1. Reminiscences of Franklin Academy RANKLIN ACADEMY received its Regent charter in 1824 and the same year the original building fifty-two feet by thirty-two feet and two stories high was erected. This building was surisounted by a belfry About sixty-five years ago when two well known ladies attended school at Old Franklin there was just the academic department. The grades W:re i11 the building now the home of Mr. Richard Deighton. About 1852 wings were added and the building was made three stories l1igl1. The building was enlarged because it was not able to accommo- date all who wished to attend school. The wings were put on as dormi- tories for the men and ladies, the ladies occupying the east wing Zllld the men the west wing. At o11e ti1:1e the school consisted of 219 pupils of which QI were from Prattsburgh, 123 from New York State, 2 from Illi- nois, and 1 from each Indiana, Pennsylvania a11d Connecticut. The original building was very small. The lower story was divided i11to three rooms and a hall and the upper story into nine rooms and a hall. lo FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL The chapel in general was the same as it is now with the exception that the platform was then at the south end and large wooden benches were used as seats. The room now occupied by Miss Flaherty was at that time the oflice. The library was the room over the chapel or the room now known as the High School Room. The school at a very early date obtained a library consisting of 1,ooo books, a microscope of high power, a Dollan's telescope and several large maps. The apparatus for scientific work was far in advance of that used in many of the schools of the present time. The basement which is now occupied by the janitor was used as a boarding house while the janitor had rooms on the east side of the second floor. The school, which was at first Franklin Academy and Collegiate Insti- tute, was the best school within forty miles. Whena person left it he was ready for any college he wished to enter. In 1868 the academy became Franklin Academy and Union Free School. In later years many changes were made on the interior of the building. Has anyone stopped to think how great Old Franklin was at one time? How about trying to raise its name again? ---Bertha Gillette. Our Park HE, ground, for what is now our park, was donated by Captain jcel Pratt. It then consisted of about four acres, which was used by the villagers as a common cow pasture. Dr. john Selover described it when he first came into the village as a rough, unkempt cradle knoll, cow paths and stones predominating. One of the most important things that he did for this village was when in 1848 he helped grade and plant the park, which we prize so much and of which we are so justly proud. Not only he but others took pride in establishing for themselves a mon- ument that should live and tell their worth to the living in years to COIIIC. Although the names of these men are not chiseled in the granite rock, they are stamped on the minds of the people of this place and we younger people are eager to learn who it was that showed such advanced ideas. Dr. Selover planted the elm tree which now stands on the northwest corner of the park, others were planted by different men. Among them are an iron wood and a bass wood. At first there was a variety of native trees, as a pine, a button wood, and a linden, but unfortunately some of these were cut down when people were trying to improve things. The park was planted somewhere between 1845 and 1848. We only wish that some one might write a more complete history of this park and that some one might be appointed as historian for the future, that the 1 ...Ae 1 FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL ll names of some of the pioneer builders and beautifiers of this place might be kept in remembrance. ---Elizabeth Hall, '23. THE PARK HOTEL The first houses that were built in Prattsburgh were built around the public square. In 1854 the Park Hotel was built on the south side of the park, by joseph Rice. This large three-story building is a well known landmark in Steuben County. The large ball-room on the third floor has been the scene of many social events in days gone by. ---Elizabeth Hall, '23. A Day from the Life of Julius Caesar OT up at four-thirty as Calpurnia had set the alarm for four, and it took me half an hour to get fully awakened. I put on my white duck suit and had breakfast served in the garden. The butler served up some potatoes and rice. It was very good. Ordered up my town car and drove to the Senate building. Cassius wanted the water main to extend down to the Coliseum, but I vetoed the proposition as the cost of the pipes didn't make t-he plan feasible. I went home to lunch. The butler served up pigs' knuckles and peas. Stopped in at Cotta's Quick Lunch and bought a glass of Burgundy. Then went to the Senate again for a two hours' session. A letter was read by a messenger from the Morini saying they formally declared war on us. I despatched a fleet of scout planes to fly over their- territory and make plans of their army stores. Went to the Arena and watched the gladiators for a couple of hours. They werenlt much gocd. They were killed too easily. Went home and took a dip in my bath, and put on my full dress suit. Had dinner at Brntus'. After that Calpurnia, Portia, Brutus and I went to the Impera- tor theater and saw Wallace Reid in The Lion Killer. It was very good. He beardedliive lions in their den, and ran them all through with his dagger. Also saw a good Chaplin comedy. Drove home via Lacus andlspent an hour reading Dickens and Poe. Turned in at 12:30 and left Calpurnia to turn off the electric lights. --- Vrooman Hzlgby, 124. THE CIVICS CLASS Our class in Fivics is real bright, There are four boys, of girls there's two, They never have to stay at night, And all their best they'd die to do There are just six, and that's enough They'd sweat and study 'bout all night To have some fun and not be rough. To End out if the president's right. , We study 'bout the taxes, and we Study 'bout the laws XVe argue and We scuffle And then the teacher jaws. ---Hcrllcrl Clark. ,24. I2 FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL A Night Alone ln An Old Farm House NE night last spring old John Cobbs stopped me while I was on my way to school. He asked me if I would stay at his house over night, attend to the chores, and keep the house safe while he and his wife spent the night with some friends in a distant town. At first I would not con- sent because they lived in an old and very huge, dilapidated house in a secluded valley far from any neighbors. But when he offered me a dollar I consented soon enough, for a dollar in those times looked pretty big: I arrived at John Cobb's house about five o'clock that afternoon, and from then on my trouble began. I started at once with the chores, but it was nearly dark before I started 'to- climb up into the old loft after the hay to feed the mule and the cows. While I was throwing down the hay the mule, waiting for his supper, began to bray. It was very startling, and amazing, and was made more so because every time he brayed an answering screech would come from the house. This sort of stirred me up and I imagined I heard something moving in the hay. Suddenly looking into a dark corner, I saw two very large unblinking eyes staring at me from the dark. I was at first frozen with fear, and threw my pitchfork at those horrible eyes. The fork struck the side of the barn with a crash, and one of the eyes suddenly disappeared, but the other remained and continued to stare at me. I procured another fork and cautiously proceeded to investigate the cause of those glaring eyes, but as I came nearer I felt ashamed at myself for those eyes were only knotholes and the weak light from the outside made them appear like great, strange eyes. It seemed that when I had thrown the fork it had lodged near enough to cover one of them, and made it appear as if one of the eyes had been put out. I was very glad indeed to find out that they really were not eyes, but nevertheless 1ny nerves were somewhat shaken, and I hustled away from that barn as fast as I could. I was somewhat afraid to go into the house because I was sure that the noises I heard while I was in the haymow came from the house. I finally got up nerve enough to enter the house, but first I reinforced myself with a good stout club. By the time I had lighted a lamp and started getting supper, I began to feel more at ease, but this feeling did not last long because while I was eating my supper I heard what seemed like a human voice talking somewhere from above. I was so frightened that I nearly choked, for the voice seemed to say in a deep gutteral tones, Dig his grave! Dig his gravel Well! I did not eat any more supper nor could I think of anything but ghost str ries. I remembered all the stories that people had told about this house being haunted, and I was in a frame of mind to believe part of them at least. The perspiration seemed just to ooze from my body and I was so weak I could hardly walk to my bed, and when I got there I could not sleep for that awful voice kept on talking. Once in a while it would stop for an instant and a horrible blood-curd- 4 V- L j,S1 !i- ,. I I FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL I3 ling scream would follow. I could also hear scuillings and scratchings which added the more to my misery. I didn't sleep a wink that night, but lay awake in constant fear. I tried to persuade myself that there were no ghosts, but when that voice would snarl and say, Dig his grave! I feared I would soon be a ghost or a spirit myself. Long before morning the wind began to rise, and it seemed that the house would be demolished, windows rattled, shutters banged, floors squeaked, the wind shrieked, and altogether I was nearly driven frantic. To add to my terror, besides these noises the donkey began to bray. I suppose he wanted to tell me that he was still alive, but I could do noth- ing but wish him dead for each time he uttered his woe-be-gone call, that horrible demon, ghost or whatever it was answered with a screech. When morning really did appear, I honestly believe my ribs were sore where my heart had pounded them, and I was the happiest boy when Mr. and Mrs. Cobbs arrived. They drove slowly up the driveway, and seemed to be happy for they were smiling and talking to each other. When they saw me, they stopped in amazement, and John said to me, Why I declare boy! what ails you? You are as white as a sheet. I began to tell him of my experiences and had just reached the point where the ghost began to trouble me, -when John Cobbs broke in and said, There now boy, I did forget to tell you to feed the old parrot up there in the attic. I hope he didn't give you any trouble. Q --Joseph Horton, '23. Neighbors ' EIGHBORS are human beings that live next door, and are often mistaken as friends, although the word neighbor means a fellow- being, a friend, and hence entitled to receive and expected to show mercy. In ordinary life the word neighbor often means our intimate enemy or worse. We apply the word neighbor to the persons living in our imme- diate vicinity that come to borrow anything from a paper of pins to the washing machine. The person who comes over and talks a straight three hours about all the bad things in the neighborhood but never says a thing about the advantages of an education or anything good. Those are the people one generally thinks of when the word neighbor is used. On the whole, if we had more people in this world that were real neighbors, as defined inthe dictionary, this world would be better off. Neighbors generally have from five to twelve cats and at least two dogs. At night the cats usually start a singing-school right under your bedroom window while the dogs all join in on the chorus. If there were more shotgnns kept I think there would be fewer cats which would be a good thing for every neighborhood. But as it is we must think of our neigh- bors as joined to all kinds of disagreeable livestock such as goats, guinea hens and such like. ---Charles Borden. qs. 5.

My Dream QNE night I thought I would take a long trip to the Land of Dreams. I traveled and traveled over many, many miles in a beautiful airship. Soon I reached Dreamland. I slowly stepped out of the airship into a lovely, magnificent garden, where no one had ever been allowed to roam. As I stood there, the airship disappeared and I was left alone. Being a little frightened, I looked about, and the next minute a beautiful, ador- able fairy had come and stood beside me. She gowned me in a pink satin robe, placed a golden crown upon my head, and silver slippers on my feet. She told me that this was the Garden of Dreams, and disap- peared. Again, I raised my bright and crystal eyes, To my great astonishment I found abeautiful castle before me, of marble and pearl. I stepped in and softly walked through a narrow and long hall. At the end of the hall there was a little white diamond door. Softly I opened it and stepped into the Land of all my Dreams. At each step that I took in my silver slippers it seemed as if some one were explaining and giving the meaning of each dream that I had ever had. But suddenly everything vanished. I awoke, to my great disap- pointment, and found myself still in the Land of Reality. ---Mary Ezfcbfn Sloddarl, '25. Rosslyn--- Mother had a great fright yesterday, a great big spider ran up her arm. Herbert--- That's nothing, I had a sewing machine run up the seam of my pants.

It was late in the spring and not liking to go to school I had much trouble, especially in geog- raphy which I disliked very much. It was my luck that night to have to stay and get my lesson, which was on the earth and the planets. I did not feel like studying so I thought I would make the teacher stay late. I might have spited my teacher but I spited myself the most. It was dark when I went home. Having many chores to do I'was very late going to bed. I was no sooner in bed than I began dreaming. I dreamed that I and john Hamilton were going on a trip to Mars. John was also a student in the same geography class. We were to it out a flying machine to suit ourselves. When once on our trip the time did not seem long, but there were many changes in winds and climate. When we reached Mars, it must have been in winter for the ground, if there was any, was covered with snow and ice, and the'air was very cold. We saw in the forest strange animals' tracks, but no people. We saw several strange birds. This planet is not inhabited, or else we were not in the inhabited region. We landed in a very hilly place and there was a small lake which by the thickness of the ice showed there had been very cold weather. We spent two nights here and I thought we would perish on account of the cold, but we were molested by neither man nor animal. It being so cold we had much trouble starting the motor' in our machine fcr the return trip. We had just left that cold region when we came into a warm climate, then I thought I heard some one call my name. Opening my eyes, I saw the sun shining into my face, and it was father that was calling me. I hurried to school that morning so that I could tell John my dream before the bell rang. ---Henry Walker, '24.

LTHOUGH the Prattsburgh High basket-ball team made a rather unauspicious beginning of the basket-bail season-, they had reached the high spots and were still growing strong when the season ended. At the beginning of the season two or three games were played before much practice was obtained, consequently in several of' the first ones our opponents squelched us with but little effort. Another reason for our first defeats is that the hardest nut of the season was cracked in the first two games, namely---Penn Yan Academy. With their eihcient and heavy guards, they held our forwards down without much trouble, but I will say more of those games later. Basket-ball practice was started October seventeenth, and' about twenty- five boys turned out to try for the first and second teams. Some were dropped almost immediately, as being too inexperienced for use. If more time for practice had been available, some of the meh who were dropped would have stayed and had a longer try-out, however as it was, the best were picked in the first two practices, and the others wereidropped. The first game of the season was with Penn Yan Academy, and, as I have said before, their team was a fine bunch. They outweighed our boys considerably, and so our men were unable to do much except by pass work, which indeed was fine. In the end the score was 28 to I2 in favor of Penn Yan. ,. The second game was also with Penn Yan Academy, but was played at Prattsburgh. This game was held on November the eleventh, a week after the first game with the P. Y. A. The game was even worse than before, as our boys were defeated by a score of 29 to 6. The predomi- nating feature was the pass-work utilized by Prattsburgh. The third game was considerably better. It was at Prattsburgh on November 24th with Rushville. At the end of the first half the score was a 9 to 9 tie, which was unchanged until the last thirty seconds, when a Rushville forward threw afield basket, clinching the score at IO to 12. The fourth game was at Rushville on December 2nd with Rushville. At the end of the first half Prattsburgh led by two points, but they were swallowed up in the avalanche of field baskets piled on them by Rushville in the last half. At the end of the game the score was 2I to 13, in favor of Rushville. U FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL I9 In the fifth game the worms turned, and Prattsburgh swallowed Avoca Highwhole to the tune of 56 to: 4. l The game was a run away, and the only distinctive feature was Donley and Thomas' rolling in field baskets. During the game Thomas made thirteen of them, and Donley twelve. In the sixth game, Haverling High was given a rub, but it .was over- come and Prattsburgh was finally defeated, 26 to 18. ' Ill the seventh game, Prattsburgh again ,let victory slip from its grasp and go to I-Iaverling, 9 to 16. At the end of the first half, Prattsburgh led by one point, as thegbcore was 8 to 7, but Lee, of Bath, spilled the beans in the last half by making good on long-shot baskets. Pnattsburgh's pass work was as eiiicent as in preceding games, and had itgnot been for Lee, Prattsburgh would doubtless have had the game 011 a platter. On january 13, 1922, the eighth game was played. It was in all respects an excellent game, next best of all played during the season. It was between Prattsburgh and Canisteo High, and Prattsburgh pulled out just one ahead, as the score was 23--22. Prattsburgh led, II to 6, at the end of the first half, but in the last one Canisteo caught up, and it was ia seesaw game until the timeris whistle finished it. It was the best game of any ever played at Prattsburgh. , ' The ninth game was between North Cohocton--Atlanta and Prattsburgh and was a rather one-sided aiiair, the score being 45--21, in favor of Prattsburgh. Donley and Thomas each made eight baskets and'Higby five. Donley also made two foul goals, and Higby made one. , The tenth game was with Canisteo, and' was not a replica of 'the former game, as Canisteolreigned supreme with a twenty-four point plurality, the scoreiwasl 37--13. Prattsburgh's pass-work,was their principal asset. In the eleventh game Painted Post buckled up unto ourymen, and wilted with the 38--16 score. The gauze was more or' less' easy for our men, and they made the most of it. D ,. I . Q ,. 1 The twelfth , game wasV,the return with Avoca, andfour boys treated them with a 56--9 drubbing., .Ringrose and Clark, regular second team men, were put in as right forwards, as Donley was absent because of sickness. They worked veryksplendidly, and Qllagk made five baskets in the last half. Wi U ff W I f The thirteenth game was with the Corning Eagles, 'who were defeated 26--20. Although they put up a gocd fight, our men were togo much for them. . p L 1 V 1 And now for the game of games! Of all games any .Prattsburgh team has ever participated in, the return game with Painted Post was Qthe, most exciting, and best played of them all. A.t the end of the first half the score was 1 1 to 12, and at the and Cf the last half the score was a 20 to 20 tie. Accordingly it was decided to play five minutes more, and during the last minute the Painted Post center made the fatal basketzv All bas- kets made by the Prattsburgh boysain this 'game were beautifully neat, especially a length-of-the-court shot by Olney, which did not even nick the rim of the basket. Enough can't be said describing this 'game, but 20 FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL just imagine a mob of spectators howling from seats, and ten sweating, exhausted, men, each struggling for the ball, trying to do his best for his team, and you will have the barest idea of the game. Higby's phenome- nal foul basket shooting was the sensation of the game, as he made ive baskets in succession, and barely missed the sixth. The fifteenth, and last game, was with the Corning North Side Inde- pendents, and Prattsburgh swamped them without effort, by a score of 46 to 18. It would be interesting to know what would be the result if Penn Yan, Rushville and Bath, our worst opponents, were to play us again. I think that hardly without a doubt, Prattsburgh would lick them all in a third game. The Prattsburgh pass-work was, as a whole, the feature of all the games played, and played a most important part in winning them all. The credits attained by each player of the basket-ball team in all fifteen games is as follows: Position Field baskets Free throws Total counts Higby Forward 27 1 9 7 1 Donley Forward 3 1 5 67 Thomas Center 9 I 4 1 86 Olney Guard 7 o I 4 Conine Guard o o o Ringrose Forward 2 o ' 2 Clark Forward 7 o 1 4 McConnell G'd and For. I4 o 28 Thomas played all fifteen games, Higby all but one, McConnell all but two, Olney all but two, Donley all but five, Conine played eight full games and two half games, Clark played but'two half games, and Ring- rose played but one game and two half games. As can be seen, Thomas nearly reached the century mark in field bas- kets. If Donley had not been obliged to go to the hospital, it would have been interesting to watch between Thomas and him in registering field goals. As it was, Thomas was nineteen ahead when Donley had to quit the game. The Prattsburgh High School team was a cracker-jack this season. Although they lost two from the three games they played, they put up a good fight in each, and it took the best in their opponents to down them. The first game was played at Avoca with the High School Second Five and ended in a Prattsburgh victory. The second was with the Atlanta second team, in favor of Atlanta. However an extra five minutes of play had to be instituted in order to saw CPE the 1 1 to 1 1 tie at the end of forty minutes of play. A lucky shot made by an Atlanta forward in the last thirty seconds of the five minutes, gave the game to Atlanta. The other game was with the Penn Yan Independent Juniors, and our boys were defeated 24 to 12. The members of the team are: Clark, forward, ' Ringrose, forward, Horton, center, Jones, guardg Putnam, guardg Keys, substitute. FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 2I The Prattsburgh High girls seemed to have rather bad luck in their season, as they played eight games and won two.

Higby is the only member of the first team that will not be with us next year, and he will be sincerely missed, as any good player always is. but the members of the second team will be ready and eager to ill his place, and, to say the least, there is some very promising material in that team. The team of 1921--22 wishes to thank the people of Prattsburgh for their line interest and pecuniary support, and it's hoped by one and all that the team of I922--23 may enjoy the same support which has made it an added pleasure to fight for Old Franklin. --- Vrooman Higby, '24.

The Freshman class organized March 21st, and elected joseph Bailey President, Beulah Ainsley, Vice-Pres., and Melva Warren, Sec. and Treas, They chose gold and white as their colors, the daisy for their flower, and Crescat Scierzlia as their motto. The Sophomores organized November Ist, elected Vrooman Higby, Pres.g Howard Donley, Vice-Pres., Herbert Clark, Sec. and Treas., and Ruth Munson, Reporter. Their class flower is the lily, their colors, orange and white, and their motto, Nu!!a,a'z'cs simzc limzca. The Class of '23 organized September 15th, and elected Esther Blood, President, Denton Sturdevant, Vice-President, Frances Paddock, Sec. and Treas., and Catharine Cornell, Reporter. The motto chosen was Ufllieux wux sagcssc que riclzesse, the colors, green and white, and the flower, four-leafed clover We believe that a better class has never been organized in Franklin Academy. Our's is a class of stars both in scholastic and athletic lines. On every basketball team the greater number of members wore junior pins, even the star of the first team is a Junior. The Juniors,who always start things, had a very delightful party March 28th, at the home of their president Esther Blood. The Juniors all ar- rived safely as the Seniors did not hear of it until the eleventh hour, when they had to call some of their members from bed in order to attend. A farcical battle took place between the two classes in which cakes, castor oil and potato parings played the roll of weapons of war. It ended in an unquestionable Junior victory and the Juniors would advise the Sen- iors to bring larger numbers next time and also remind them that eaves- droppers never hear any good of themselvesf' We also hope the Seniors were not disappointed because we had a party instead of a candy sale which they thought was the cause of all the excitement. The Seniors evidently became so afraid of us that when they left for Washington they were afraid to go to the depot for fear of encountering the Juniors so they left from another station, not however without the Juniors arriving in time to steady their nerves for the trip with Hrecrack- ers and rice, and also to advise them how to conduct themselves during the trip in order that they might come safely back and bestow new hon- ors on Old Franklin in june. Class spirit ran high another day when the Juniors and Seniors both tried to display their banners to the world more than to their rival class. At last the Junior banner was placed safely on the dome of the academy but it stayed there only a minute as the Juniors were thought to be too hilarious over their victory. In order to show our good will toward the Seniors, in spite of every FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 25 thing, we intend to give the Seniors a banquet where we hope to bury the hatchet of class rivalry and send the Seniors forth from Old Frank- lin, remembering the Juniors as the best classmates and friends they ever knew. From what has been said, and because of our general reputation, it is obvious that the Juniors are a class who are iirst in everything. First to organize, first in athletics, first to have a party and we have endeavored to be first in scholarship. ' The Seniors organized Q September 16th, and elected the following oiiicers, President, Ruth Sturdevantg Vice.President,-Ida Murphy, Secre- tary and Treasurer, julia Peterson and Reporter, Ralph jone. The colors chosen were, purple and white, the flower, the white rose, and the motto, Excflsiorf' A K A One of the best classes that Franklin has ever graduated is the class of 722. Perhaps it is not 'as large as some, yet it proved that quality not quantity will make any class succeed. Q , The Senior year has been a year' to remember. The Junior class have proved to be good sports, and the rivalry between the two classes has been all in a friendly way. i , I . , ' One day during this year will be remembered as a' landmark of our class rivalry. One Monday as the Juniors entered the building a great Senior banner, stared them in the face. It was placed high over the double doors, and as they passed into the next room, ,the twin of the former banner greeted them. Nothing was done except talk until noon, then when the Seniors came back the juniors had changed the Se H to ju thus making them Junior banners and saving themselves considera- ble work. But in some mysterious way, during the night, some ,little elf took away the ju again making Senior banners. After schoolwsome of the brave juniors aided by the Sophomores, put a beautiful banner of '23 on the dome of the academy. It would have been perfect had not some thoughtless junior rung the bell, which caused the professorto order the juniors to pull down their colors: They closely guarded the banner intending to put it up again soon, but as luck would have it 'the Seniors captured it in a pitched battle and succeeded in keeping it. The juniors consulted all the oracles, but could find no trace of the lost banner. Thus the contest ended in a defeat for the juniors. ' Then came the Junior party at the Blood home. They thought that they had done wonders after giving or attempting to give three Seniors castor oil. Also the party would have been a failure had not the Seniors go,ne,to liven things up. The Juniors claimed victory but considering the number on each side it was hardly a victory. Three Seniors and seven- teen Juniors. Ra! Ra! Ra! for the Seniors! One thing more, the trip to Washington. The poor Juniors were hop- ing and praying that we would all have the mumps, flu, or anything so We couldn4't go. But they were disappointed as none was even homesick. When ready to start we went to Bean's station to take the train. One 26 FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL thing learned on the trip was how much the Juniors cared for us. They just had to be with us at the last moment before we started. But Fords and Overlands are of different types. Anyway the juniors gave us a royal send off and we have had a wonderful year together and will always remember them as good sports and friends. ---Margelia Phillzfs, '23. Assisted by class reporters. The Seniors Trip to Washington OR weeks we poor Juniors had heard about the Seniors intended trip to Washington and for the first time we were really glad they had begun to show some interest. At last the expected day was only a week away---and then it was the night before. The morning dawned, and we, all went to the train to bid them a fond farewell and give them a bit of good advice. There were two more days of school before vacation and we felt it a vast relief to be able to enjoy the privileges of upper class men, even for such a short time, instead of being made to feel like Fresh- ies on every corner and being gently reminded of their senior superiorities. The train began to steam up and we felt none too happy with our lot, to tell the truth, we imagined ourselves about as near extinguished, as the Seniors should have been when we gave them castor oil. Then by some magic I found myself such a tiny coin that I fitted into the hole in the lining of Ruth's coat Cof course Ruth had been too busy to care for such trivial thingsj but I'm not going to complain for if she had 'found such a bright new coin as I, I would probably never have seen Washing- ton but would have been used for a hair net or a few sticks of gum. Ruth remained unusually quiet throughout the whole trip, perhaps due to the fact that she was at last beginning to realize that there are some things that even Seniors can learn, thus giving me ample time to wear a thin place in her pocket which would serve as a window that I might enjoy the brief visit in our Capitol City. I must have slept for a few hours on the train for when I next peeped from my window I found myself descending the Capitol steps. I had missed one of the most important sights, the trip through the Capitol and the glimpse of the President. Ralph came out with less confidence' than he had entered---another one of our Seniors was feeling rather small and insignificant. I heard his voice tremble and saw his knees shake. Yes, on the steps he stumbled taking Charles down with him. I crawled back from my window for both boys had lost the press in their clothes and I didn't want to be seen even as a coin in such a mess. I soon heard their voices in the usual good humor and so ventured to look forth again to see both boys as trim as before. They were to attend the church where President Harding would give them a hearty hand-shake on Easter Sunday. The service was a miner detail and at last came to an end. As they went from the church it was Ida's turn to be honored first. She cleared her throat and choked out something---probably about the FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH' SCHOOL ANNUAL 27 weather. Julia came next and her face got as near the color of her hair as I had ever seen it and she even forgot to wink. Then Ruth tripped up and said so much and talked so fast that I wonlt even try to tell about her. The girls were lost in the crowd before it 'came Charles's and Ralph's turn to shake hands with the President, and so of course, I had to go with Ruth, but I don't believe that Ralph made any noticeable blunder. After traveling for what seemed days about the city we went to Atlan- tic City where Charles took his first swim in the ocean and thought a whale was after him, but it turned out to be only a niinnow. I was so tired by this timerthat I 'was glad when they said the return trip would start the following dayj Onmtlie train the next morning Ida began to talk about the wonderful' trip and to my astonishment Cfor I supposed her knowledge of History was as extensive as what she thought it was in Englishj I heard her say that Valley Forge Cone of the first places visitedl had been built up very quickly, and that the Northerners in the War of the Roses, or the Hundred Years' War, which I supposed took place in France, really couldn't have liked the Indians after that and she didn't blame them. V Oh! I felt myself falling, and expected to find myself on the fioor in the dining coach where they spent a great deal of time. Instead of that I opened my eyes, to find myself on the floor in my own room and the trip had not yet materialized. The next day I realzed was the time set and I had yet to find a place large enough for me in Ruth's coat. ---EsthcrtB!ootz', '23. V p INSEPARABLE Catharine and her books.

' 1 THEIFRESHMAN CLASS AS THEY FANCY THEY ARE When we left the eighth grade it was said that wewere the best class that ever graduated. Now, as Freshies we still hold the same opinion. Our class was increased in September by a number of equally bright students from other schools, especially two from Jerusalem, and one from the hamlet af Lynn, and another from Wheeler. K , This class is noted for being studious. Mr. Comstock thought them so good in Algebra and Latin that he let some of them drop those subjects. They all seem to have inquiring minds and have to ask a question over three or four times. In reality, they act as if they came from Missouri Their conduct in the study hall is so exemplary that the other classes have taken them for models. If any criticisms have been made concern,- ing the class it is due to those who are only eighth graders. We think that when the Sophomores try their eirams in June the swelling will go out of their heads and they will find that appearances are sometimes deceitful. V ,- At the end of the year we will prove our efliciency and show that we have lived up to our motto: Crescat sgimlia. ' ' ---Mclva Warren, ,25. TRUE TO TRADITIONS THE SOPHOMORES HAVE ONLY SCORN FOR THE FRESHMEN It seems that they have a good, bright,,Freshmen class about every other year. Two years ago they had a punk Freshmen class, but last year they had a good, bright class, and then again this year they have a bunch of boneheads like the class two years ago. Talking of boneheads this class contains the most. If you should come into the study hall you could tell at a glance, who were Freshmen unless you got them mixed with a few Juniors. They are usually whispering or making a disturbance of some kind while the rest are studying. Then you can always tell their classes as they are always noisy, a good deal like the juniors. I suppose they will almost act human when they get to be Seniors but by the time they get that far, I will be too old to finish writing their history. ---Herbert E. Clark, ,24. THE CLASS OF '25 AS JUDGED BY A JUNIOR The graduating class of '25 are very intellectual and refined, that is, they think they are. They consider themselves the best and most intelli- gent pupils in old F. A. They feel that the school and playgrounds are owned by them and they think that each one of the other classes ought to cater to them. Of course we know they are not real high-brows, and that in spite of their refined qualities and brightness, all their minds seem to FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 29 run to is mischief and pleasure. However there are a few exceptions such Bob and Maurice. I remember when the class of '24 were Freshmen. They were the same way. When we were Freshmen we were brighter than most classes are the first year. We did as we were supposed to do and we were never caught doing anything else. But then, most of the Freshmen have done as well as could be expected, considering that many of them have come from far beyond the limits of Prattsburgh. But it is a pity they are so lazy and it makes no difference to them whether they have their lessons' or not. Perhaps it is not all their fault, it may be the effects of environment. But then, when they become juniors possibly they will know nearly as much as we do. ---lllerlin Drumm, '23. THE FRESHMEN AS SEEN BY THE SENIORS Perhaps the Freshmen class of good old Franklin Academy has its good points, yes, I guess any class has, but if so, they manage to keep them pretty well covered up. There may be a president or some other future celebrity in the class, but so far he hasn't shown himself. We, the worthy Seniors, know that they are just beginning to develop and learn, and presume that at the end of four long years of study they will have reached the elevated stage attained by us, yet we are unable to believe that four years ago, we were at so low a level. To say that there is no talent in the class would be under-estimating them without due consideration. Yes, they have one talent, that of making a great deal of extra trouble for the teachers. Let me hand it to you, Freshies, it will be well for you to follow our lead as far as you are capable and if you work hard you may be able to reach the heights which we have attained. ---Charles Higby, 122.

She really takes great pleasure i11 talking She is uncertain as to what she will do in tl1e future, and we hope she will prosper in whatever she undertakes RALPH JONES He loves the ladies, he loves the ladies, He loves to be among the girls. Ralph came from a farin and we are very glad and fortunate that we have him among us. His one failing is in always seeing things in a different light from everyone else. He seems to favor the opposite sex but never mind, we wish hiln luck. FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 31 CHARLES HIGBY Distance lends enchantment to the view. Yes, we are sorry to say that Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and that Charles seems to have little use for the girls in Prattsburgh, but that doesn't matter, we all like him just the same. ROSSLYN BOYD 'LA merry dark-eyed lass. Skete with her dark eyes and hair is studious, but one would not believe it. She aspires to be a kindergarten teacher and our best wishes go with her. IDA MURPHY A quiet girl, and yet a happy one. Those who don't know Ida say she's quiet, but a good authority says she's very different outside of school. She is one of those lucky mortals termed good-natured, and is always ready to help the more unfortun- ate of her classmates. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have her among us. There must be some powerful attraction in school for her, as she never stays out. ---Elizabfth Canine, '23, Qi-if v 'ff-1 CQ ' Agricultural Department HE Agricultural Department was again resumed in September, 1921, after a period of three years, with Mr. Watkins as teacher. In the department there are two classes, the third year class, with four members and the first year class, with thirteen members. Two of those in the first year class were obliged to drop out on account of other school work. The class have taken great interest in their work, especially the shop work. Although the tools were scattered and in a bad condition, much helpful work has been done. The two classes have formed a club, called The Farm Club, and elected the following officers: President, Joseph Horton, vice-president, Denton Sturclevantg secretary and treasurer, Merlin Drumm. The purpose of the club is to promote interest in the work, and to gain knowledge from the discussions in the open meetings. The club has different departments and committees that prepare entertainments from time to time. ---Denton Sturdevarzt, '23. Gamaliel Conine brought up the qaestion one day as to whether one could raise a horse pistol from a Colt revolver. FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL WHAT OUR HENS DO Before the agr. class came to town, All the old farmers wore a frown, Because their biddies would not lay, But always insisted on good pay. But after our class came to school, The farmer called himself a fool Because he let his hens go free While we got eggs, a hundred and three. Sometimes the farmers fed their hens Apple sauce and cakes and gems, But more often they let them go This to the hens was an awful blow. Our hens all get the best of care, While the farmers flunk their's every where And our tabs show we get the eggs, While the farmer, he implores and begs. He wants to know just what we use And what we'd do, if we were in his shoes To make his hens produce more eggs Because we get 'em by the kegs. We feed our hens the Cornell ration While the egg records we sure are smashin', We feed them sprouted oats and beets, And all egg records we sure do reach. We keep our hens in houses tight, And always let in lots of light We give fresh air and litter dry, Which makes the lice and mites all die. We think that Leghorns are the best Because we've tried them with the rest, And we found they beat them all Of any breed, great, large, or small. Weire trying to change the farmers' views By telling him the poultry news, By showing him the best of ways, To prove to him that our way pays. Our motto is, We do not brag, But when we run against a snag, We certainly try to do our best, This makes us prosper in our quest. ---By members of llzc agricultural dass FRANKLIN ACADEMY mon SCHOOL ANNUAL WHEN WE KILLED THE CHICKENS Down into the smoky shop, Marched the silent ag. class, Into their overalls each one did hop, The quiet period to pass.Q?j 1 L Then comes the word, Let all get busy, And' Watkins darts about enough to make you diny Some grind plane blades, knives, and chisels, Others file saws and make some iizzles. Some wear overalls blue and white, Some wear those that are a sight, They call each other fools and prunes, But when cleaning up comes, it's other tunes. Next day when we come back'to school, i Feeling blue and rather cool, The word is passed around by 'Watkins That all of us must kill some chickens. First came a laugh and then ia sigh, And just then Prof., he happened by, My, my, said he in accents gruff, i If this don't stbp, I'1l sure getlroughf' Then after this had all passedxby, Watkins cried with a twinkling eye, A Now I think that you had best be quiet, Or Prof. will start another riot. Then tuck your hat beneath your arm, And we will start for the Ringrosen barn. i At last we got started, and just for fun, Ward McConnell tripped Merlin Drumm. i Ast the big barn we did arrive, And found the hens were quite alive, So the strenuous task was to begin, And Watkins passed to each a hen. He said, said he, you'd better be, As careful as you can, x If you get gay and act that way, You'll surely cut your hand. Twenty hens were killed and ready for canning, A return to the school-house we were planning, And on our return, Prof. said with a sigh, Could you make more noise, if you should try? H ---Gamaliel Canine, '24 34 FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Announcement for the School Year IQ22-IQ23 BOARD OF EDUCATION The following is the present organization of the board of education. The board meets for reorganization the first Tuesday in August each year. S. B. Merritt, President J. C. Allen, Secretary Charles E. Clark Fred P. Wheeler Arthur Kennedy FACULTY M. W. Comstock .... ............ P rincipal, Mathematics O. H. Watkins ........ .......... A griculture Vernie E. Rayton ......... Biology, Chemistry and History Helen M. Blumenstiel ,,,, English and Drawing Latin and French Laura H. Pinneo ........ Seventh and Eighth Grades Mrs. Ervia D. Horton ,,,, Fifth and Sixth Grades Third and Fourth Grades First and Second Grades Mrs. Flora Hlbbard ..................... Cecelia Flaherty ......................... School will open Tuesday, Sept. 5, 1922. All who intend to enter are urged to be present on the opening day. Parents who are considering the matter of sending their children to school for the first time should either send them when school opens in the fall or should wait until the following year. A beginners' class is organized only at the beginning of the year and it is not possible to do much for a beginner who enters at a later date. TUITION The tuition for non-resident, grade pupils is eighteen dollars per year, one-half of which must be paid at the beginning of the year and the balance the week following the January examination. Tuition for non- resident academic pupils, who possess a regents preliminary certificate or its equivalent, is paid by the state. COURSE OF STUDY The following course of study will be offered next year: The number following each subject indicates the number of regents counts assigned to it: First Year---Elementary Algebra, 53 Biology, 55 English I, Latin I, Ag- riculture, 7 I-2, Elementary Design, 2. Second Year---Plane Geometry, 55 English II, 83 Latin II, IO, History A, CAncient and Modern,j 5, French I, Agriculture, 7 I-2, Civics, 2 I-2, Elementary Representation, 2. Third Year---Chemistry, 59 English III, 4, Latin III, 5, French II, Io. Fourth Year---Intermediate Algebra, 2 1-2, Solid Geometry, 21 English IV, 43 Latin IV, 5, History C, CAmericanj 5. FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 35 From nineteen to twenty-one counts is considered a full year's work and, as a rule, one should not attempt to do more than that. To obtain a regents academic diploma seventy-two counts are required, including sixteen in English, ten in mathematics, ten in science, ten in history and two and a half in civics. To be eligible for graduation in June one must have earned fifty-four of the above counts not later than the preceding january and must complete the work in the remaining subjects with a class average of at least seventy-five in each and must obtain a passing mark in each subject in the June examination. We would admonish both parents and pupils of the necessity of regular attendance. Without this it is impossible to do satisfactory work. No pupil should be absent for one day if such absence can possibly be avoided. A few days absence during the year may mean the sacrince of tl1e whole year's work. A pupil who has not studied a subject for the required number of recitations is not permitted to take the regents exam- ination except by special request of the principal, and then a higher standard is required. ' No pupil can carry the full amount of high school work satisfactorily without preparing part of that work at home. There is not time enough during school hours for both recitation and preparaton. If your boy tells you he doesn't need to study outside of school hours you had better investigateg the probabilities are he is not doing satisfactory work. Parents are earnestly invited to confer with the principal concerning their children's progress. It is more practicable for the parents to visit the teacher than for the teacher to visit all the parents, and such confer- ence may do much to insure the pupil's success. We invite the co-operation of all concerned to the end that the efficien- cy of our school may be increased. Merlin---I was mimicking the teacher yesterday and she caught me. Hildreth---What did she say? Merlin---She said to stop making a fool of myself. Latin Teacher---The ancients used to consider the liver the seat of affection. Where is it now? Pupil---The knee. Elizabeth---I know a town that was named after you. Vrooman---What is. it? Elizabeth---Marblehead, Mass. Visitor---Can you tell me where the lecture room is? Robert W.---Qlndicating oihcej Right in thereg Miss R.---What was the result of Shay's Rebellion? Ruth---Why a lot of people were killed I remember. Class of 1858 Libbie McMichael Kennedy ' 'U .mr l f-is ,.- 36 FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Alumni Department HE following is a list of the alumni of Franklin Academy and Prattsburgh High School and is as nearly correct as it has been possible to make it but it is known to be incomplete in some respects and reliable information is solicited. The list of early graduates was made out by individuals who were accurate and painstaking beyond the average and who had access to old records and data belonging to the school. Furthermore it is known that some students received regents certificates and diplomas for having covered a prescribed course of aca- demic studies which entitled them to graduate but for one reason or another never graduated and so cannot rightly be called alumni of the school although they were among those thorough students which the school sent out in early days and their attainments both then and in later days may be regarded with pride by all who call Old Franklin, Alma Ma- ter, for individually and collectively they helped to make the splendid reputation which Franklin Academy had as a school for collegiate and academic instruction and for training men and women of high character and scholarship. f ' 8 S.
