Robert Korte, threesport s N Umfgqdfwf Inspired by a deep spirit of patriotism, the students and faculty members of Fairbury High School have given immediate and effective support to every worthy project suggested by local, state and national war agencies. This enthusiastic cofoperation is our sch.ool's emphatic acceptance of democracy's chalf lenge to freedomfloving youth in a world wide struggle against the forces of tyranny and oppression. ng I A:., . , gil 1 'J' At tht- brgqinmnq at each new week, all students stand in reverent :rtti-ntzon as the American Fla is raised ato th g p e building to the atirrrnq strains, ol the National Anthem, played by the band.

MOVING UP TO THE FRONT There will be no dearth of leadership or pro- motional ability when the current crop of juniors takes over the senior class duties next year. The two major activities of the juniors this year have been the annual play, Growing Pains, and the annual junior-senior prom. Under the capable directorship of Miss Phyllis Thornton, the juniors worked overtime pushing ticket sale for the play-and came out with the highest total receipts in recent years. Although the prom was scheduled for a date after this copy was prepared, preliminary plans indicated that the event would have all of the glamor which has characterized previous proms, despite war-time obstacles. Efficiency has been the keynote of all of the juniors' projects. The junior class had an enrollment of 151 at the opening of the fall term. Many of these stu- dents were unable to appear in the small-group photographs on the next three pages. ln the classroom, the juniors have consistently ranked high on the honor roll. In extra-curricular activities, the group has produced an all-state basketball player, numerous football, basketball, and track lettermen, the F. F. A. queen, officers of various school organizations, and a large per- centage of the membership of clubs. Fairbury High School, though regretting the passing of an outstanding senior class, looks lor- ward to another season and another fine class of seniors in 1942-43. Although the munitions manufacturers have diverted most of the ingredients of cosmetics, there is still enough rouge and lipstick around. ln the picture frightl, Darwood Long is attending to LaVerda Luehring's coiffure, while LaVerda re-finishes her face. Waiting in line are Cleft to rightti Darlene Wright, Lula Mae I-linz, and Phyllis Ruth Edmund. Five smiling juniors prepare to descend the steps after a hard day in the classrooms. By coincidence fperhapsl, Bill Bonsall finds him- self the lone male in the group. The war has created a scarcity in young men, but it isn't as bad as this would indicate. The young ladies in the picture fleft to riahtl: lane Neiman, lean Thompson, Florinne Glebe, and Shirley Iohnson. Martin Bower is probably telling these junior girls about his exploits in the outfield of the Fairbury High School baseball team last spring. At least, he seems to be doing the talking-which condition is unique, to say the least. The listeners fleft to rightlt Arlene Hessenflow, Anna Margaret Aasen, Mary Morey, and Dorothy Culp.

At the beginning of each :study period in the :study hall, knowledge-thirsty students crowd around the librarian's desk to check out ref- erence books and magazines. ln the top picture, five junior girls and one junior boy are the book seekers.

This years sophomores exhibited plenty of enthussiasm when they staged a successful party rn the fall. Sponsored by Miss Ruth Hein, the class inf eluded l4G members. Befause of absences and other factors at the time when the photographs were taken for the 'l'HAll,, there are 79 members of the group irrrs:-:irra in the pictures. lt might be said about this year's sopho- more vlass that they have learned fast-ethat they have progressed remarkably well from the heteroaeneousness which characterized. their tre.:hman year.

XOX- W And they're Rookies Smallest freshman class in many years, this year's group numbers only 109 members. How- ever, they make up in enthusiasm for their lack in numbers. Miss Dolores Spence, who teaches freshman English classes, has sponsored the class. As usual, the freshman year has been one in which the students become oriented to the con- ditions and requirements of high school. They have been enrolled in the traditional subjects, for the most part, which give them the funda- mentals upon which to base more specialized study during the remaining years of high school. Meeting in front of the second-floor bulletin board, the freshman officers exchange informal remarks between classes. ln the photo Cleft to rightl: Francis Rice, Charles Schultz, lane Tuttle, and Sam Sollenberger. As a class, the freshmen have been inactive during most of the school term. However, as in- dividuals, they have made their presence felt by the whole-hearted co-operation in all school functions and by their friendliness and inob- trusiveness. Big things are expected from this small class in the future-both in scholastic achievement and in the successful prosecution of those group act- ivities which they must attempt in the next three years. Sixty-two members of the class were unable to appear in the class photograph above.

X Equipped with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes gleaned during four years in the classrooms, the study halls, the social chambers, and athletic fields of Fair' bury High School, the seniors now prepare to enter a new phase of their lives. Whether the future will find them on college campuses, in business establish' ments, or on battlefields, they may go forward with confidence in the quality of instruction and opporf tunities which have been theirs in Fairbury High.

Valuable training in writing of a utilitarian nature, experience in meeting the public, appreciation of printing problems, and practice in the organization of larger financial enterprises are only a few of the many benefits derived from work on school publications. ln Fairbury High School, there are no iournalism classes. Duties and responsibilities of publishing the newspaper and the annual, as well as other types of school publicity, are shared by volunteer members of the senior English classes, taught by Frank O.

Many other students have assumed heavy re- sponsibility in producing a high-ranking news- paper which is financially independent--but the length of the list of such assistants is too long to include here. From time to time, throughout the year, vari- ous staffs of the publications have held parties. The high-point of the year, however, was attend- ance by ten students at the convention of the Nebraska High School Press Association in Lin- coln in November. The Trail staff has been small-and the skill with which its members have done their work has distinguished them as an outstanding organ- ization.

Directed by Kenneth E. Foust, the F. H. S. band has earned a unique reputation among musical organizations in the state. Comprising seventy pieces, this year s group is a tribute to persever- ance and skill of Mr. Faust, who assumed the direvtorship five years ago when the organization was less than half its present size. On September 4, the band played at the annual Nebraska State Fair in Lincoln. On October ll, they returned to Lincoln to participate in the annual Band Day held in connection with CI University of Nebraska football game. Forty bands were represented in the latter festival. Another major event in the bands calendar was the annual midfwinter concert on February lil, at which the F. H. S. musicians proved their ability as concert artists as well as marchers. A banquet, given by the parents, was held on March l3. Other band activities during the year included playing in the rodeo parade and at the Iefferson County Fair, playing at all home football games and most of the home basketball games, both high school and junior college, traveling tc Line coln for the Fairbury-Northeast football game, participating in the annual Christmas parade, appearing at the Defense Bond rally, playing at student convocationsg parading prior to the ann nual spring opening downtown, and sending rep resentatives to the annual district music contest, At the district contest, held in Geneva, soloists and small groups chosen from the band upheld the tradition of the organization by capturing l'superior ratings with monotonous regularity. Another event on the calendar for district win- ners is the National Regional Contest, to be held in Omaha on May 8 and 9. lttivk ww tl' tt to iiqhtl lllll Mi 'ptr Mon' tit- l.tim, Phillip Gil-:nerr Hob l'dwaiit:s, Ava Kiwi-l wvx' k, C7-iiiwll Nmtwl, and lack ltvwinwilf' l'iw:il iivw, lwla limits Niidinv Atitli--x' lt--viiultls., tiiitt l'lo:1mit- GM-lv' tzaltiriitinttl ,.t- k 'Q y si if' 1 .: E 1 V I I I I i x ....e I ,,, -Q Int-tli-il--, Phyllis: Hauer, Leland Iohnson, and lflainrf Snyder Bottom row: ltailfinfi Sliinn, Ava Knohleck, It-anne Lywilo, Bob Clianw-Iloi, livttfilri K-wriaii, Vtifvi-lf-s Perm x, ltmolvl Adams, PM-loris Williams, Betty Valentine, Nota Wyiick, Mable Opt-'-1, ltutli CT-ibrcon, Malone 'lhamiw 1 min, .Hvmttiy lltirton, tirn-'stint U:t1if1 Shirley Allen, If-an I-I'tf1S9l'1, Ytonna W'-inmcin, Bt-tty fiom-n, ltianilti Stnckvi, Niilti Iluttm 1, llvtty ltiifzt- lktiitzl, tiluiili-5 lim- I'ii.-fwri, anti t'.1'roll Niupe-l Not in picturvi Hlciiiitl Mmm.-I ,1t1h,tg1 'I',m,m' Py,v'11,:1 jtiiiytwgp, Pwgigy Nt ville, Incl-1 lttiintftt Alum- Mt'Wllll11m::, k'alvin lititivx, ltick Vlovt-, lack liarbwi, lfxiv Hiitnnn, Ln-la lluima, and ltnnmg Wlckmfin A pep band, comprirsina the leaders from the various: sections, made outeotftown trips when it wan imporsszible tor the entire group to travel.

At the Kearney Forensic Contest, William Ford placed first in radio newscasting, Calvin Hager, superior in original oratory, and Richard Dove, second in after-dinner speaking. Debating resulted in one of the best records in the history of the school, when an undefeated team, Dove and Hager, won the trophy at Kear- ney, with Ford and Stocker tying for second place. Fairbury won the Lincoln High tournament, and at the Wesleyan tournament, rated fifth, with William Ford fourth as an individual debater. Contest activities in oneeact plays and de- clamatory were canceled in recognition of tire rationing. Co-operating with the music department, an excellent performance ot Freedom Revue, writ- ten and directed by Robert L. Pullen, was pre- sented May l, with Dwight Griswold, Governor of Nebraska, as honored guest speaker. In this production, Richard Dove played the role of Uncle Sam, with William Ford as the voice, building the continuity. Each year, students displaying meritorious achievement in any of the phases of speech arts, are accorded membership in Masque and Gavel, National Honorary Speech Society. Robert L. Pullen, local sponsor, is also state director. - - And Debate Winning top honors in meet after meet, the Fairbury High School de- baters ranked among the best in the state. ln the upper photograph trightl, Bill Ford is speaking. Other members of the two teams tleft to rightlz Dick Dove, Calvin Hager, and Iohn Stocker. The Wishing Fairy, a marionette show, was presented by members of the speech arts department. All scenery and puppets, as well as the dialogue, were handled by students. A scene from The Wishing Fairy is shown at right. l WE ENVY THEM - - Perhaps the most widely-envied groups in Fairbury High School are the National Honor Society, the senior play cast, and the Lit- erary Guild. As the coveted reward for schol- arship, leadership, service, and character, the National Honor Society stands as a symbol ot recognition tor outstanding stu- dents, Only a tew juniors earn this high honor' and senior mem- bership is limited to a small per- centage ot the class members. Because selection ot senior play cast members is based on ability and dependability demonstrated throughout the high school course, inclusion on this group is a tribute to any individual. The Literary Guild members are envied be- cause they are the only organization in high school pursuing a scholastic hobby in alter-school hours.

The many clubs in Fairbury High school have followed this dictum in their attempt to promote the welfare of the individual student, the school, and the nation. Able faculty and student leadership have been combined with wholehearted participation of the members of each group, to make this a pleasant and memorable year, marked by an optimism which has contrasted sharply with the darkness of the inter' national situation.

Undefeated in non-conference play, the Sloanrnen finished third in the powerful Mid-East Conference. Opening the season at Belleville, Kansas, the entire squad saw action in a 33-to-O conquest over a weak and out-manned Buffalo eleven. ln the second game of the season, last year's state championship Hastings team succumbed to Ieff power by a 13 to 7 margin in the home opener. York's mighty Dukes, unbeaten and untied at the end of the season, out-foxed the injury-riddled F. ll. S. crew, 26 to 14, at York. Then came Hebronf-va team which the Ieffs spanked, 35 to U, on the home sod. Crete was next to fallffbut only after a bitter battle at the Saline County metropolis. The score was 13 to 6. Northeast High School disappointed a trainload of Fairbury fans by taking a 26 to 6 decision in Lincoln, but the F. H. S. squad bounced back to win its first victory in recent years over Falls City, 14 to 6. ell llull, 1' 1-tussi-l1Willcoxun, F 1effL1tel,F Don Kenney, FFF Bob Korto, FF Ass't Coach G G C tln circlelz Frank Shipman, Fairburys all-state quarterback tln the action photol: Shipman plows across for a touchdown in the 'lhanksglving Day game with Bcahicc After spotting the Wyinore Zephyrs a l4fpoint lead in the first half, the Ieffs staged a comeback to gain a 14 to 14 tie in the final home game under the arcs.

NEBRASK1-YS EIGHTH-BEST TEAM Finishing the season in eighth pace among Nebraskas prep school teams, the Ieffs were un- defeated in twelve games against non-conference foes. The final seasons record shows fourteen vic- tories and four losses. The defeats included a two-point and a four-point loss to Northeast High School of Lincoln Cconference champion and run- ner-up at the state tournamentlg a one-point set- back at the hands of a hot Hastings five, and a two-point loss to a strong York team. To offset these defeats, Fairburys season in- cluded a twelvefgame winning streak which car- ried the team to second-place ranking among the state's Class A clubs one weekHa-twenty-three- point victory over a Geneva team which finished the reguar season in first place among Class B teams in Nebraska-a nineteen-point conquest of North Platte, winner of one of the state's four Class A regional tournaments-a decision over the high-ranking Falls City outfit fthe first such win in recent years for a Ieff teaml-and victories over Superior and Hebron, which brought a third consecutive title in the Hebron College Invita- tional tourney. Besides the victories enumerated above, Coach Sloan's cagers won regular-season games over Lexington, Wilber, Crete, Beatrice, Wymore, Hebron, Nebraska City, Nelson, and Clay Center, Kansas. Although this season did not bring the high- Richard Millar, F flelt belowj est total of victories, it did bring the fewest de- feats--fand considering the narrow margin in these defeats and the caliber of opposition, the l94l-42 squad deserves its reputation as the best yet developed in Fairbury High School. Iim Denny, F Carroll Nispel, F Eugene Mens, F Bill Gear, F Leland Smith F NEXT YEARS FIRST TEAM Reserve athletic teams in Fairbury High School include rio seniors -and no undersclassmen who are capable of first-team play or substitution. Thus, F. H. S. reserve teams often win few games. This years light football reserve squad was composed largely of freshmen and sophomores, lmproverzient during the season, in which there were no topeheavy losses, makes the prospect for the l942 first team bright. The Reserve grid lettermen are as follows. Lyle Austin, Robert Beachler, Arthur Bitter, lack Chas- dek, Paul Eaton, Eldon Hayes, Frank Hayes, Calf vin Hirsch, Clifford Holmes, Bill Keenan, Iohn Kno- bel, Harold Long, Stuart Madison, Bill Mcliimmey, Norman Mitchell, Eugene Mees, Leon Ridenour, Carl Robinson, Elmo Schueller, and Reuben Will- eoxen if RESERVE BASKETBALL TEAM -A' ln basketball, Coach Carnes had an unuszually inexperienced group with which to start the :sea son. After dropping a series of corrtelztas by Wide margins, the junior lcffs, finally deiriorisstrated the skill of their coaching by llfllillllllfl the izeanori with close defeats at the handzs of unbeaten Plyf mouth, once-beaten Milligan, and :strong Diller in addition to four victories, the most noteworthy of which was a 56 to 22 conquest of Reynolds. One of the most thankless and unheralded tasks in sportdom is that ol a reserve team player: He must take daily beatings from laraer and iriore experienced players, with ne hope of immediate reward for his toil and sacrriice, For the loyalty which proiriptpa these irrizaurrsr heroes, and for the contribution which they make to the training of the first-team players, Fairbury High School salutes the left reserves and their coach.

Among the individual performers, Korte, Shipman, I-land, and Miller ranked second, fourth, sixth, and ninth, re- spectively, in Nebraska. Fairburys track team, easily the state's best in field events, won the Fairbury invitational, Southeastern Nebraska, and Mid-East champion- ships. Prior to May 6, when this copy was prepared, Korte had the state's best javelin cast to date, Hand lead the discus throwers, Miller had the season's second-best pole vault, and Shipman was near the top in the broad jump and hurdles. As the state championship meet neared, the Ietts loomed as one ot the two or three favorites to win the Nebraska high school title. IEFFS IN ACTION BELOW Upper lelt: Bob Korte.
