Cheer Cheer for Fairbury High Under the baton of Mrs. Marion Yoachim, the Booster Club was directed through the busy year ot 1947 and l948. The Booster Club is com- posed ot three members from each class who are elected by the student body the fourth Tues- day ot April ot each year. They are installed l-lonor's Day to serve the term ot one year, they cannot serve consecutive years. The purpose ot this organization is to boost all school activities and to sponsor cheerleaders. The activities ot the club during the year had many variations. Their lirst appearance was made when the seven cheerleaders ee- Shirley Hammond, Dick Ford, Monte Reynolds, lean Hare lan, Shirley Iohnson, Bobert Schroll and Marjorie l-luss S were chosen. Following this piece ot work, the members were seen covering the town selling season loot- ball tickets and distributing tootball schedules. Then came the football rallies which included those absolutely original skits. lt was here that Dale Walker as Father and lack Oglevie as lunior made their never-to-be-torgotten ap- pearances. A new addition to this pair later in the year was Charles Scheuler who played his part ot 'iMother equally as well. This talent carried over to Stunt Night when the Hill Billy Weddin' was presented by the actors and actresses ot Booster Club. Local color and acting ability galore won the skit second placing. To raise money tor the F Banquet, the Booster Clubs greatest performance ot the year which was given in recognition ol the F men, several projects were undertaken. Besides sell- ing at two tootball and basketball concessions, crimson and gold F caps and 'lVarsity Vics were sold. The movie, The Five Sullivansf' was presented to the student body on lanuary 29. The banquet was held March l9 in the Meth- odist Church basement. The tables were gaily decorated with miniature F men and crimson and gold streamers which were placed in the center ot the tables that seated approximately 200 guests. The expressions of the '47-'48 Booster Club members indicate that someone must have had a brainstorm for the F Banquet which is al- ways the top event on their annual agenda.

The Right Sort of Man The YMCA directs its activities in the high school through the l-li-Y. The Fairbury Senior l-li-Y club has been known for several years as one of the strongest l-lieY organizations in Ne- braska. The '47-'48 club began with a happy note under the competent leadership of President Willis Day and Sponsor Kenneth Foust with the annual invitational meeting. The keynote of this meeting was to create an interest in l-li-Y and to subscribe new members, The candidates for membership were initiated into the club through a worshipful ceremony on October 9. This made them full-fledged members in time Page 52 for the steak fry which was held at the City Park on October l6. This feast was enjoyed by everyone even though most of the members brought wieners and only one steak was present, The top note of the first semester was the Halloween party. On Thursday evening, Octo- ber 3O, about twenty couples gathered at Camp Iefferson for the fun and frolic. The feature of the evening was the measuring of the girls' necks, each boy was charged two cents per inch of his girl's neck. Besides selling about two thousand football and basketball pencils, the Hi-Y held their an- nual holly sale. They also sold refreshments at a football and a basketball game, sharing the work and the proceeds from the football game concession with the Tri-Y. Delivering telephone directories toward the end of the school year netted the club a nice sum, too. Out of the pro- ceeds of the years projects, a large donation was made to the World Youth Fund. The money in this fund helps to rebuild the many devastated YMCA buildings in foreign countries.
