By RONALD MISKOFF Home Newt sfaff writer FRANKLIN1 The Franklin High School class of 1975 played to a packed house last night. Parents, friends, sisters, brothers and hundreds of underclassmen came to watch the 375 graduates get their diplomas and then toss their mortarboard caps high in the air at George Ackerman athletic Field. The class was cheered and then cheered itself repeatedly.

In a brief dinnertime cerenW ny, the regular graduating seniors were joined by 33 students who completed their requirements in three years and 34 seniors who completed their requirements for graduation at mid-year. There also were sev-' eral graduates from the township's alternate school. Salutatorian Karen Melick told her classmates. "Now it's time for us to go our separate ways." Her way will be to the University of California at Los Angeles where she will continue training as an Olympic swimmer. Next year she will try out for the 1976 Olympic games at Montreal.

"It's kind of hard sometimes because my sister is always swimming against me," she said after the graduation ceremonies. Valedictorian Rita Ritsema said the top two graduates have been friends for years in spite of their competition. Miss Ritsema said she will attend Boston University and probably will major, in biology. She has been awarded a $1,900 freshman scholarship. Seniors who received awards valued at $100 or more include: Leslie Brockett Samuel Cunningham, Madeline Gonzalez, Mary Elizabeth Hughes, David Jalajas, Raymond Kimball, Richard Lawrence, Denise Le-Comte, Annemarie Pillon.

It was another example of what the bridge' administration will accept from people who can't cough up the toll. The one-armed man's clubs were beautiful, recalled Sgt. Charles J. Jalivet of the toll security force. "But when we looked inside we found the guy's false arm," Jalivet said.

"I guess he used it when he played golf." Had the clubs and false arm not been retrieved by the owner, they would have been auctioned off with other booty tomorrow. Among the items to go on the block are an assortment of tools, sunglasses and cigarette lighters, a cocktail shaker, an electric sunlamp, a horse brush, a Bible and a wilted six-foot Christmas tree. "I remember one man who gave us his frying pan" said Jalivet.
