Yearbook Staff b Busy The annual staff at Franklin High has experienced a very busy and hectic week. Monday, a rep resentative from the Hunter Pub lishing Company visited the school and a staff meeting was immediately proposed. The meet ing lasted the entire day and many important decisions were made, among them being the sel ection of Mack and gold as the colons of the "Laurel Leaf." The latter part of the week, pictures were taken and the staff members, which include Linda Shope, Emma Jean Hogan, Patsy Corbin. Linda Whltaker, Gary Crawford, Robert Vinson, Charles Waldrcop, Ann Fagg, Genevieve Whitmire, Paul Cabe, Carol Callo way,, Martha Angel. John Craw ford, and Betty Sue Williamson. were a great help to the photo grapher. Test Administered Two All- Force officials from Greenville, S. C? were present at the school on September 14 and 15 for the purpose of administer ing the Air Force Aptitude Test to all seniors desiring to take it. The purpose of the two and one half hour long test is to determine in which branch of work each stu dent is best fitted. The examina tion is composed of these four dif ferent divisions: electronics, mec hanical. business education, and general. A student scoring very high in electronics and low in general, would naturailly be more qualified to seek a career m elec tronics. The results of the examin ation will aid the guidance coun selor in her conferences with stu dents since she will know the stu dents capabilities in each field and will be able to make helpful suggestions. The test was completely on a voluntary basis with no one being required to participate, but ac cording to the guidance depart ment, 115 seniors out of a class of 175 took part in the examina tion. Bulletin Boards The vocational bulletin board located in the lobby of the high school is but one phase of the WE ARE OPEN Yes, we are open and ready for business, even though you may find it a - little hard to get in while the "old porch" is being torn down, a face lifting job is going to be done and we are sure you will find the new appearance well worth any little inconvenience this might cause.

Local Exchange Student Writes To Home Folks (EDITOR'S NOTE: A Frank lin High student. Miss Morrow. Is In Belgium this fall as an exchange student. In the following letter to 'THE PRESS she tells of her experiences on the voyage over and something of the country in which she is visiting.) Wednesday. Sept. 21, I960 Kapellen. Antwerpen Dear Sir: This is a letter from the Ameri can Field Service student in Bel gium. The SS GROOTE BEER left the harbor of Hoboken. New Jer sey, at noon on July 26. The pas senger list compcsed almost en tirely Of A. F. S. students? iO^A mericans going to Belgium an about 150 Europeans returning home after a year in the United States. The voyage was wonder ful. although there was some rain during two days. The Am?T}canf spent much time studying French and Flemish and talking with the returnees ab^ut life in Europe. The boat docked in Rotterdam. Netherlands, and we said fina good-byes to our new friends. That same day we 10 Americans went to Brussels, Belgium, by train. There we had temporary quarters at the Paul Heger University. 1Tw next three weeks passed quickly with sightseeing trips, language lessons, orientation, and shopping expeditions in downtown Brussels. During this time we also had sev eral short visits with our new families. Near the end of August we left Brussels and each went his separ ate way. My destination was Ka pellen, a small village of ten thousand people located about nine miles from Antwerp. Kapel len has a small-town atmosphere with friendly neighbors, tiny puidance program of the school. Thus far during the P1*??"* school year, several attractive and meaningful bulletin boards have been prepared by studeYits. A grad ate of the I960 class Vianne Keener, who is now a freshman at Woman's College. University o North Carolina, prepared during this past summer anarUsticdi? play on the topic or theme. The Educated Man". With drawings, she illustrated that the educated man is open-minded; workseasUy with others; Is a lover of beauty is always ready to learn; is bet ter equipped to take his place in community activities; that educa tion is more than learning . that it is a way of life. More recently, two high, school .seniors. Genevieve Whitmire and jane Mallonee, prepared as a spe cial project in their home econo ?mics class a bulletin board titled "All Aboard for Careers in Home Economics.'' This depicted many phases of work open to the student with an interest in the field of home economics. shops, and cobble stone streets. The surrounding countryside Is very much like that of Franklin. The mountains here are smaller, but everything is lovely and green. As for the climate ? well. It rains every day. It was raining on the day that school began. The school is very large and modern with some won derful students and teachers. For ;the first few days I didn't know exactly where I was. or what I was doing there, but now, thanks to them, things are much better. The schedule Is quite different from the one at home. Here I take 13 subjects ? German. Dutch. French, Geometry, Algebra, His tory. Geography. Typing. Gymn astics. Chemistry, Physics, and morals. Some classes are held ev ery day and some only once each week. I have 14 hours of French per week. The school week Is six days long with only half days on Wednesday and Saturday. On other days school ends at 4:30 or 5:30. Most of the students. In-' eluding me, ride bicycles to school. It has been nearly two months since I left the U. S. So much has happened In such a short while. I have developed new ideas and adopted new customs. Life here Is more different in some respect* than I had imagined, but the similarities have also surprised me. I like living here and eagerly await the new experiences that come with each new day. Yours very truly, Linda Morrow Statiestraat 52 Kapellen, Antwerpen Belgle State Highway Men Meet For Catfish Dinner Friday night, September 23. 18 men with the State Highway De partment met for a catfish dinner at the Normanaie Restaurant here to mark the completion of the paving job on the Baird Cove Road.
