10 FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL SENIOR NOTES MARY DEARLOVE, '25 It was on February the fifth, immediately after the January Re- gents, that the Seniors met to organize their class, which was composed of six members. The following officers were chosen: President, Gamaliel Conineg Vice-President, Beulah Ansleyg secretary and treasurer, Melva NVarren. The class colors chosen were green and white, with the white rose as the class Howerg the class motto, Carpe Diem, -seize the op- portunity. With the above competent officers in our class we were bound to succeed in everything we did. The first undertaking was certainly a success, as the movie which we put on was well attended both nights, and we were all well pleased with the proceeds. just what will be done with the money is not yet decided, for although we were unable to raise enough to take a trip during Easter vacation, we have not given up the hope of spending it to a good advantage in june. On May the twelfth, the first senior party was held at the home of Mary Dearlove and all reported a good time. even if Arthur was a little tardy in arriving with his belated cake. The evening was spent with games and singing and, A romance in a nutshell. Of course our class will have more good times before the end of the year, one of which is in the near future. Cur class was presented passes for a movie in Bath, by Harold Lee, and we all appreciate this kindness and expect to see a fine play. XYe feel that we have reason to be proud of being the first class to graduate from the New Franklin Academy and after we graduate. may we always think with pleasure of the days spent here. ,i- AUSTIN- Whan:'s the difference between ammonia and pneumonia?

12 FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL when we were freshmen. The class flower selected was the white rose and the class colors chosen were purple and white. This sensible Junior class, at the very start, united with a spirit which urged them to forget the parties and remember their lessons. It appears that most of the other classes forgot that parties and studying are an ill-mated pair but the faithful juniors remembered. 'Tis easy now to figure out how we Juniors succeed in carrying home such splendid report cards. Probably if the other classes carried out our formula they could do almost as well. Everyone knows that a hike in the fresh air is far better than any patent medicine that was ever advertised. Naturally it did not take our enterprising junior class long to realize this fact. XYith this wise thought in mind combined with various others, we started off one fine May day for a walk. In the end we found ourselves clustered about a fire while our weiners were roasting away therein. Of course, the whole class was there for the Juniors usually are when they plan anything. For you know that when we Juniors were freshies we planned to become Juniors in two more years and thus following our wise motto and using a cooperative spirit we are what you know us to be, juniors l1- FRESI-IMAN NOTES By COYLA DAVY, '28 When the class of '28 entered high school they were considerably noticed, because of the large number of bright looking pupils. Our class is really the brightest that ever has graced the study hall of Franklin Academy. Perhaps there are some that are not as bright as the others but they sit up and look intelligent. - That is more than any of the other freshman classes have ever done. On February 17th we formed a class under our advisor, Miss Bed- win. For President, Harland Bennett was elected, Horace Babcock, vice-president and Valentine Pratt, secretary and treasurer. You see, by some means all offices were obtained by boys. NVe had our first party at Durwood Hibbard's and the second at janyce Clark's. We certainly had splendid times at both places. The other classes laugh at us and our parties but some day we'll show them we live up to our motto, Facta non Verbaf'
