FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNIY.-KI. 5 K Q lib fi fi 7' 3. X X Q-Ztffiflflilge 5 M l fflld E. in D- NOTHIQR year has gone by and we again offer for your approval, Cwe hopelb our High School Annual, the l'l tllId'lI'll Pasl. VVe sincerely hope that this number will be received with the same hearty welcome that has greeted the previous issues. This hope has helped to lighten the burden of the staff, which is always heavy, but especially so this year. VVork on this issue has necessarily been rather difficult. This is simply a little more evidence of the loss of Old Franklin. When the school building burned the Pos! was, of course, deprived of its home, and as a consequence, the work has gone forward much more slowly than would have otherwise been the case. XVe do not intend to apologize for what we offer, but merely to invite you to look upon our work with a kindly and encouraging eye. NVe realize that our faults are legion but beg your indulgence. The editor wishes to extend his sincere thanks to the members of the Staff for their hearty co-operation, and to the members of the Faculty for the time and effort which they have expended on the Poxl. It is only through the combined efforts of all of these, and the good spirit that all have shown, that we are able to present this issue of the l'y'tllIA'fI.lI Posl. On February 28, I923, the village and connmmity of Prattsburgb suffered a severe loss. Two old buildings, neighbors and landmarks of the county, the Presbyterian Church and Prattsburgb High School were destroyed by fire. It is unnecessary to go into the details of this fire which destroyed the church, first, and then the school. Of course, it was a disastrous occurrence, and a decided blow to the town. However, we are glad to say that through the efficiency of the officers of the two buildings, suitable quarters have been found, in which to carry on the work of both organizations. Needless to say, the present temporary quarters are not as convenient as our old home was: but they are as com- fortable and convenient as they could possibly be made through untiring forethought, work, and consideration of those in authority. Of course, we miss Old Franklin, as we should miss any old friend, and we rather
