We entered this alien school with a combination of excitement and nervousness, not knowing wirat lay ahead for the next four years. Wit It a completely different set of tTiles, we set about testing them to see where they could bend and where they would break. We met new people and formed the foundation of friendships tliat would last forever. (>ing into high school, we never thought that Franklin High would have offered us so many lessons and new e\j naiences. I Jpon receiving our schedules, we wore faced with the burden of an increased workload and the problem of .juggling that with sports and extracurrieulars. We learned to work in groups and the im] >oilunce of delegating tasks so that the group can accomplish m< >re than the individual. Time management and organizational skills became crucial, but we also learned social skills and developed new friends. The days spent in the classrooms and halls of Franklin High have proven more beneficial and more significant than wo could have imagined. As freshmen we walked the crowded halls with our backpacks and schedules, shuffling quickly from class to class, fearing the consequence of being late. We enjoyed ourselves at freshman banquet, even though many had not fully adapted to the new surroundings yet. Sophomore year w e received our rings in March and had a party to celebrate. That was also the year of the MCAS, the tost wo had spent countless English classes preparing to bike. Junior year brought the excitement of prom at ( Gillette Stadium and the corresponding problem of funding it. Yet, the class banded together to solve it, making prom a complete success. Now', as we complete our final year at Franklin High, wo still have much to exjrerience. The end of the school year will bring graduation, senior banquet, and the all night party, but there is so much more woiting for us beyond Franklin High. Indeed the lessons we have accumulated both individually and as a class will servo us woll in the future. Many of those lessons come directly from relationships we have firmed with students, teachers, and staff within the building. Our friendships with other students will be the bond that unites us even after wo have gone off to pursue other endeavors. The teachers have formed the backbone < ifour educatk >n here and w e are forever indebted to their service. In addition to their strictly academic teachings, they have regaled us with stories and tales of life, like Mr. Lynch’s often hilarious biles of od< 1 acquaintances and unusual experience and Mr. Hoar’s constant talk of retirement despite1 actually retiring. 1 ike wise, the administration and guidance deservo credit for the work they have put in behind the scenes. The education wo have received here has extender! far beyond the classroom due to the support of those involved in the school. ~ I We have load several class advisors during our' four years at Franklin and we wont; to extend our' thanks to all three. Mi Brennan and Mrs. JSeilly’s indefatigable enthusiasm and hardfwork kept us motivated and is greatly appreciated. Mr. Schmidt has been our class advisor for all foul' years, through thick and thin, offering his ;tdvice and wisdom. Hi constant leadership has been pivotal particularly in fundraising, prom, and senior activities. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication. In our* final year at I Yanklin, it is clear that the lessons accumulated here have laid the groundwork for our future success. They liave developed our education and leadership skills; we have become wiser, more aw are of our abilities, and better able to manage time. Yet continuing past, high school, wiretiier to the military, the workforce, or- higher- education it Is important to recognize the significance of always pursuing excellence. Never give up, stay tiare to your morals, and always strive to be the best. Those ar-e the attributes of an indiv idual from Franklin High Schtxrl who will truly make his mark upon the world.
