FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 5 EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT Edited and Published by the Pupils of Franklin Academy, Praftsburgh, New York This issue of the Post is unique in that it is the first to be publish- ed from our new home.

No more complete contrast could be found than that existing be- tween the two buildings, for the one was old fashioned, roomy, pleasant, with the comfortable appearance of a home and yet with all the peculiar- ities of one also. The new building would never remind one of a home, unless the viewer be a native of Auburn, for it is made of stiff red brick, has steel trim, and makes compact and efhcient use of every atom of space, even to the lockers set in the wall. All these things are modern and businesslike to the Nth degree. VVe loved the atmosphere and influence of old Franklin, which were- acquired by time and work.
