PROLOGUE

The good life is one inspired by love

and guided by knowledge. Knowledge

and love are both indefinitely extensi­

ble; therefore, however good a life may

be, a better life may be imagined.

Neither love without knowledge nor

knowledge without love can produce

a good life.

— Bertrand Russell

This year’s Student Council was far more vigorous than any in recent years. The year started out with an enthusiastic cam­paign, and that enthusiasm never let up. The Council met every week and managed to accom­plish quite a bit. They got a candy machine, Human Days, permission for girls to wear boots, a Sophomore dance, and they even ran a model “CoUege Bowl”. Phniipe Salomon, the president, and his council cer­tainly deserve a round of ap­plause.

The Franklin chapter of the National Honor Society has great reason to be proud this year. Under the direction of Dr. Elliot, the faculty advisor, and Bill Thomashower, the president of the group, the Honor Society organized the first city-wide meeting of the National Honor Society. More than 100 representatives from 30 different schools came to Franklin. They discussed the purpose of the Society and heard a marvelous lecture by Mr. Lowenstein, an expert on South West Africa. The day was a total success.

This year, for the first time, Franklin has initiated a chapter of Quill and Scroll, a national literary honor society. To be granted membership in the society, a student must have shown an exceptional ability to write. The members each receive a bi-monthly magazine put out by members of the Quill and Scroll in all parts of the country. We thank Mrs. Youman, the faculty advisor, for once again broadening the scope of Franklin activities.

THE FRANKLINITE

The staff of the Franklinite sincerely hopes that it has succeeded in portraying FrankUn as it really was so that not only today, but years from now, you can look back and contentedly say “Oh yes, I re­member that well!”

The editors of the yearbook would like to thank the rest of the staff for their enthusiasm and above all Mrs. Wein- garten without whom we might still be drowning in a pool of uncollected and unorganized facts.

FACESLy W alt W liitm an

Sauntering the pavement or riding the coimtrtj hij-road, lo, such faces!

Faces of friendship, precision, caution, suavity, ideality.

The spiritual-prescient face, the always welcome common heneDokmt face,

The face of singing of music, the grand faces of natural hw yers and judges broad at the hack-top,

. . . The face of an amour, the face of veneration

The face a of a dream, the face of an immobile rock,

. . . Sauntering the pavement thus, or crossing the ceaseless ferry, faces, and faces, and faces,

I see them and complain not, and am content with all.

GRADUATION

The Reverend Dr. James H. Robinson was born in Knoxville, Tennessee. In 1935 graduated Valedictorian from Lincoln University (Pennsyl­vania), he went on to be President of his class from Union Theological Seminary in New York City. He has founded the Church of the Master and the Morningside Community Center in Harlem.

Dr. Robinson has travelled around the world as a representative of the Board of Foreign Missions of the United Presbyterian Church, U.S.A., and of the National Conference of Christians and Jews. In 1958 Dr. Robinson initiated the Opera­tion Crossroads Africa, a study seminar and work program in West Africa for young leaders.

In 1955 Dr. Robinson was invited to give the Lyman Beecher Lectures at Yale Divinity School, Yale University. This is the greatest academic honor that can be achieved by a minister. He has written such books as “Road Without Turning”, “Tomorrow Is Today”, and “Africa at the Cross­roads”. He serves as one of the four advisory chairmen of the Peace Corps and is chairman of the Youth Activities Committee of International Cooperation Year. We are proud that Dr. Robin­son has taken the time to honor us at the Cross­roads of our life.

EPILOGUE

As we took our first timid steps

through the halls of Franklin, all of the faces were one blurred mass. Then, day by day, the blur cleared. Each face became unique. Each

had a story. Each brought us some­thing: beauty, love, happiness,learning, friendship.

Now we will encounter another

mass of featureless faces. And, in

time, those faces too will become

distinct. Yet, carrying with us al­ways the faces of Franklin, this next experience will be easier and the future richer.
