FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAI Our Lights While sitting 'neath their dreary gleam And studying our lessons, We sometimes wish the sun would beam Or that our lights would freshen. At first they're bright, and then they're dinig Sometimes they're not at all: Then Prof. goes at it with a vim, To try to light the hall. They burn, they Hare, and then they flicker, And make such noise That Prof. can't even hear us snicker-- CLeave that part to the boys.J Even when he gets them lighted Going good and strong, It looks to us as if they're blighted, And won't last very long. If the kitchen you should visit Where Miss Stacey reigns, You will say-- whatever is it,' This groaning, as from pains. 1 She says she is nearly crazy From their buzz and roar, Such sweet music makes us lazy-- We want to work no more. It is fun to see Prof. travel All around that hall, Trying the mystery to unravel, VVhy they don't burn at all. Again we turn back to our lessons, And wish the sun would shine, To come and brighten our clark sessions, And straighten out our spine. - joseph fl0I'f0I1, '2-3. Tliere's a most clever teacher named Fahy, She's here, and she's going to stay. I do not know why- But the look in her eye- Well-I guess I would rather not say.

surf'- FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 31 In order to establish a reputation, it see111s that a class must have a party which will fool the other classes. Well, we did it on the twenty- second of May. It did not hurt our feelings in the least that none of the other classes appeared. Not only was the party successful from this standpoint but also because everyone had a good time. The Freshmen were not as fortunate in regard to their party. It seems to me that there was something told about the ice cream being taken from them. If they watch the tactics of the Sophomores for a while they'll learn how to give parties successfully. Of course, this change may not take place very quickly but we feel confident that they have a chance oflearning, in time. '- Our class is small, there being only eight members, but it makes up for its size by living up to its motto, Facta non verbal' --Charlfs lfordnz, '25. FRESHMAN CLASS NOTES ' There's one thing about a freshman class--it can't rest on its laurels, because it enters High School quite without organization. However, it did not take the class of 1926 very long to build up its reputation. Every- body except the Sophomores realizes the worth of that organization, too, but we aren't surprised that they don't, we really didn't expect them to as they haven't the faculty of appreciating anyone cxaybl the Sophomores YWQV suit lhrm all right though. The class of 1926 was organized in April, and the following officers were elected: Edith Cincebox, Presidentg Frances Allen, Vice-presidentg Marion Ford, Secretary and Loper Keyes, Treasurer. Very soon after that plans were made for a party, and the party was held at Lydia Hotchkin's. There were several members of the other classes who are apparently not used to ice-cream at parties, for they felt impelled to steal ours. Or per- haps, they needed it to make up the required amount of calories, who knows. The teachers, especially appreciate the Freshmen. They always smile when it's time fora first-year class, for they are sure of a brilliant recitation, without any inattention or fooling. This will be proved at the end of the year, when every Freshman will become a Sophomore, showing that we live up to our motto, Finis coronat opus. --Edith C1I'7lCl'b0.l', '26, 5 iigil .- JM? ry' '9 5, A Q K x X X
