FRANKLIN MAN TO
SUCCEED PRUITT

Thomas Campbell, A.B., A.M., Elected
Member of High School Faculty.

Mr. Campbell got his bachelor of arts degree at Franklin College, Franklin, Ind., in 1914, and later was awarded his master of arts degree at Indiana University in 1915. He comes with a splendid recommendation.
The aspiring atheltes of the city will be glad to learn that he comes here with a big recommendation from Coach Thurber, of Franklin College. This Thurber is the brother of the famous predecessor of Coach Shooks of the Little Giants, and knows college athletics from Alpha to Omega. For Campbell to carry away a big boost from this Franklin athlete is worth something. Campbell's record will speak for itself. He was captain of the college basketball five during the school year 1912-1913.
Basketball and baseball fans are looking forward to a winning season beginning next year, a season that will put Shelbyville high school on the map athletically.
