Of M948 CLASS HISTORY It was in the fall of 36 that a frightened group of girls and boys entered the portals of Fairfield. We were then ushered into first grade, where Miss Albright made us forget the fears we had, so we learned to like our school career. For our second year at Fairfield, we were led into Miss Bierman's room, where we learned how to subtract numbers, as well as to add them. Our next teacher was Miss Moore who, through much patience and teaching, finally drilled into our minds the art of multiplication. We were then ready for fourth grade where we were very capably taught by Miss Funk. Our fifth year, we felt pretty proud of ourselves, as we were advanced to the other side of the playground. We had Mr. Randels as a teacher and he was very helpful to us, putting forth all his efforts to increase our knowledge. Next we entered the sixth grade where Miss Schwab very successfully taught us and prepared us for Junior High. Then, came the big thrill: that of promotion into Junior High. We had as our home-room teacher, Miss Greenisen, who was always on hand to straighten out our class schedules and to see that we made our classes on time. For eighth grade we had as our home-room teacher, Mr. Faloon, who was very kind and helpful to us in everything we did. Came our next big moment, that of entering High School. We all felt pretty glib about this, but the Sophomore class soon took us down a peg or two by their initiation party. However, we fared none the worse for it and all had a grand time. To do them honors, we had our Freshman return party. We chose officers as fol- lows: Dale Sitler, President: Carolyn Swope, Vice President, Harold Baker, Treasurer, Mr. Frank, Sponsor. The next year found us in the big Study Hall, which served as the Sophomore home-room. We felt better that year, because we had the pleasure of initiating those poor green Freshmen. We also had the pleasure of initiating Mr. Utterback, who came to Fairfield that year to be our Superintendent. We chose officers this year as follows: Carolyn Swope, President, Betty Houlette, Vice President: Harold Baker, Treasurer: Miss D Sponsor. Our Junior year we had more fun than we ever had before. We put on our play, 'The Big Blow Up. Also during the year we sold refreshments at the football and basketball games, so that we could sponsor the Junior-Senior Prom. The date for this gala affair was set for May 9. Our officers for this year were as follows: Presi- dent, Carolyn Swopeg Vice President, Dorothy Criderg Virgil Kornbau, Treasurer: Twila Carlisle, Marion Moser, Student Council, Walter Kyser, Shirley Fesler, Room Chairmeng Sponsor, Miss Greenisen. We have finally slipped into our Senior year, by staying in the Junior home room. This was our final goal and how unreal it seems that we have reached it. The time really seemed to pass so very quickly and here we are, Seniors. Yes, we have finally reached our goal, but we have never forgotten the teachers and friends who helped us reach this final attainment. For this year we chose as our class officers the following: Carolyn Swope, President, Dale Sitler, Vice President, Harold Baker, Treasurer: Dorothy Crider, Lowell Brubaker, Student Council: Irene Domanski, So- cial Chairman: Miss MacLearie, Sponsor.

'Che 4l'2llRllE5S6lIf PAGE 26 CLASS PCEM Tswas in the fall of thirty-six, That a group of girls and boys, Started a career at Fairfield, Of sorrows and of joys. Miss Albright was our teacher, And she was always kind, Until we all decided, A better, we couldn't find. Then we went to second grade, And from there passed to third Where we learned to multiply- It seemed such a big word. We were now getting bigger, Our minds were full of wonder, And as we reached fifth grade We soon put that asunder. For there we had a teacher, Who taught us some things new, And soon we all decided He was a fine teacher, too. Then we went to sixth grade, And there we learned much more From a teacher named Miss Schwab, Who led us to seventh grade's door. Now we had reached our one big step, That of Junior High, Memory takes us back to it As the years have since gone by. We now have reached our Hnal step: The end of our high school, But none of us will e'er forget, Our loyal friends and the Golden Rule. -Tw ila Carlisle
