he rise and fall of spelling bees was one of the features of 1938 and '39 that is to be remembered. Through the efforts of the Student Council, Mrs. Esther Page and Frank Mclntyre, a spelling match was arranged between a group of Fairbury matrons and a team of high school spellers. When the smoke of the orthographic battle had cleared, four surviving high school members were still able to battle while the foe had been vanquished. The four survivors were Marjorie Chancellor, Lloyd Jackson, Dorothy Dodd and Betty Riley. Just so all can remember what a fresh- man looks like, this picture taken in home room 108 has been included. The picture tells more than words can say- so go ahead and read between the lines. How many times during the year did you and your locker mate lose your keys and have to call for help to get the locker open? If you did, then this picture should bring back memories of those profession- al locker crackers-custodians Charles McMannon and Art Webb. No lock could withstand the attack of these two and as a result would soon yell 'nuff and open. Ujage Twcvityfsevenj

orma ean Caiey K n ueen oi193Q Crowned, at t1'1e Coronation Ceremonies Qinserveci During the VFW Party, April 144, 1939 C The past year is to be remembered as the year of confusion . The confusion was whether there would be a prom, whether there'd be an F party and whether this or whether that . Finally, there was an F party, April 14, some 200 students, athletes and teachers gathered around the dinner tables placed in the gymnasium to feast, sing songs, and hear a few short talks by varions guests. The main speakers were Coach Sloang Alton Werner, N. U. basketball starg and Charles Brock and Jack Dodd, N. U. football stars. At the close of the banquet the annual cus- tom of coronating the Fu Queen took place. Those in attendance, who were privileged to vote on three candidates, chose Norman Jean Caley as the F Queen of 1939. In an interesting ceremony, Bill Yoachim, president of the F Club placed the flower crown on Miss Caley's head to symbolize the approval of the student body of her accession to the throne.
