E 1Q.‘X •IIIUIIIIMIIIfll FINISHED YET BEGINNING Finished wc are in Math and such; We've worked and studied and accomplished much Four years we've struggled with toil and pain Rich opportunities and success to gain. From cradle on, we learned to work And never a daily task to shirk; For things that arc gained without the price re as red pep| er mixed with 'pice. We can't be healthy and wealthy, too, Until we learn each lesson through. One may be finished only jiolished and line. Rut tlie house of life doesn't need that kind. Instead, a wholesome, thoroughbred soul I' the sort who always reaches the goal. Re he humble and p« or. hut faithful and true. His ta k is lighter, and he's happy, t� x . We're beginning our voyage at sea. nd the sails l clong to you and me. Shall we be tossed ant) rolled on the deep, Or shall wc the safety of an anchor keep? Have wc finished our voyage in joy and mirth Or are we useless and just orphans of the earth? Have we courage to fear the things of life. The battles with failure, filled with strife? Arc wc happy the whole day through? Do we have pride in all wc do? Finished—yet Ix-ginuing—is our motto each day: Another reminder along the way. We find contentment in the golden rule— The greatest lesson in life’s hard school. Tu'tntyfonr THE CRUCIBLE HISTORY of CLASS In the Leap N ear. 1924, we were fired from the Grammar School Cannon into the I'air-ficlrl High Crucible. We were small, green .shot, wrapped in diplomas. So fresh were we tli,-it we had had net time to .shrink Our heads were swelled with ideas of the blessings which we should be to the school that was so fortunate a to Ik- receiving us. During the freshman year, the sophomores ami seniors showed us the error of our ways. We were mere numbers, not human livings, possessed of ideas. Worn into smaller round halls by class discipline, by scientific investigation, by algebraic equations, by historical conclusions, by foreign conjugations, and by English themes, after nine months of refining, we fell out of the Crucible with groans—as the dames died down for the summer. As some of the halls were left so square that they could not lit into the round moulds demanded, they were unable to return for the next nine months. Youth is resilient. During the entire sophomore year the idea that our group bad entered this Crucible that a finer metal might Ik; turned out. prevailed. The dames ceased to scorch us so severely, for we were a little nearer the top. Occasionally there were gleams of luster, and the smcltcrcrs began to feci that some gold might result. Upon reaching the junior year, wc were becoming stabilized metal. If the coach needed steel to make strong a football wall. In- |x� urcd a junior into the gap. If the stall needed color to brighten the year lx ok. it saw the glow from junior metal and chose that. Now, the Leap Year. 1928, is here. In the short span I ctween the two leap years, wc have liecome refined. A glance at the flow of gold reveals many jewels. The big lumps are athletes; their purple and gold lias brought much recognition. Those so close to them shine with the glamor that comes from serving on tlx Crucible staff, in the magazine contest, and many student activities. Then come those of tine gold, smooth, round, choice. Their re linen lent has come through much study. The Council of Honor has claimed them; college is before them. Perhaps again wc shall lx; only small round balls, wrapped in diplomas; but when the Crucible of the world is through with us. may wc lx? highly enough refuted t � be worthy to I laid at the feet of the Master. Joe Cacua.no, Historian. TntHiyUff SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY One evening, during Indian summer. I was strolling past a placid lake where everything seemed to Ik? enchanted. Suddenly, a fairy appeared among the shrubs that bordered the lake. She invited me to conte to the lily pond, saying that he would teach me to read from the floating lily leaves the future of each senior as the fairies had pricked it there. She selected a leaf and began in her own mysterious way to read from it the future of Louise Sims. Soon I was able to decipher the picture It gave me great pleasure to learn that after Louise Sims was graduated from F. H. S.. she had entered Montcvallo. There she proved such a brilliant scholar in French that she was made a student teacher. Now. she is an instructor in French at Columbia I'niversity. New York. Of course, you all remember Houston Law and Kenneth Clarke, the scientists of F. H. S. The next two leaves show that they are now connected with the government, experimenting on the future possibilities of aviation. On this leaf is an organ with hcautifully colored pipes. Before it sits Jo Hinton, broadcasting one of her widely known pipe organ recitals over one of the world's largest stations. Who is the huge figure that appears here? Why, William John Philpot, the owner of the world's largest chewing gum factory. Having been particularly interested in chewing gum. even from high school days, he now manufactures his own. This next leaf I tears the picture of a modiste shoppe on a certain street in Paris. The proprietress of this shoppe is none other than Madame l.orcnc Jackson, assisted by Mademoiselle Agues Salter. On these two there arc the figures of athletes. I learn that the Tucker Brothers, Ed and Joe. are now basketball coaches in rival universities. Real F tateH appears here as the sign over an im|K siug business house. As I look. Edith Kiskc comes to the door as one oi the best real estate sales ladies in the district. For the first time I behold a Mage. Behind the footlights appear Richard Palmer and Frank Paffc, Fairfield's own harpists, who are now traveling over a well-known vaudeville circuit. Who is this next, the lady of the violin? Why, it is Elizabeth Easier, who went to Italy to study tinder great masters. T u-enty-tix THE CRUCIBLE A sound of oratory reaches me as I pull these two leaves. The voices are those of I)ugnan Boart field and Frank Brincr. As prominent lawyers they have proved the most successful in the South. The figure of a woman in white is 1 a;fore me. In a nurse’s uniform I recognize our former petite lassie. Sarah Johnston. Having always liked that work, she is now head nurse in the T. C. I. Hospital. Here is another T. C. I. figure. At last William McCaddon has realized his life-long ambition—that of being chief draftsman of the T. C. I. works. Now. I tind Mary Cookson and Klsie Brown in charge of a fashionable school for little girls. They arc interested in the welfare of little children; and. therefore, enjoy their work with them. A magazine page appears on this leaf. Upon it is a cartoon. Frank Hein ton's name is signed. Thus is he expressing his opinion on world matters through cartoons in the Literary Digest. Here is a musical leaf. Full, gracious, silvery tones reach my cars. Ailcen Williams is singing her way into the hearts of lovers of song. However, as I take this leaf, a quicker, jerkier music—as from mans instruments— greets me. I see Joe (iagliatio as leader of one of the best known jazz orchestras in America. Three leaves alike! A charm conies from each. It is pleasing to note that Mary Carolvn Sims, Mildred Brock, and Myrtle Johnson have long since settled down in their cozy little homes. I next observe a Imsy city office. Clyde Carter is the central figure. He i- now the editor of the paper he was once accustomed to deliver. Close by rises a stone structure. Beauty of line and Micce in the world arc characteristic of the “Woman's Bank, where Doris McDowell is president and Audrey Maccrtney is cashier. This leaf has a building lieariug the name “Fairfield High School. It i� not the same building as the one which housed us. Yet. one of the same students is in it. KoU-rt Kimbrough is the principal of F. II. S., and has proved himself efficient in every way. Likewise, this same building holds another of the old students. Ktigenia Cosper is now a tutor and is enjoying her work in the Commercial Department of !• H. S. One leaf more remains. A tinge of red touches it. Immediately I recognize Douglas Sellers, who is now athletic director of the new Fairfield Y. M. C. . A leaf for myself 1 do not find: I can only hot the future holds a fortune kind.

Rebellion was rising within my soul. Why should I stay in a Crucible for another year and sizzle with the heat when there were by-paths that were fragrant and cool? Before 1 was aware that I had formed the idea. 1 gave a mighty lunge and hopped out of the Crucible. s 1 struck the earth, I lay prone until I should gather strength to run away. 1 was about to rise and slip into the darkness of the world when I heard Marian Morris exclaim. “Oh, dear, isn't it dark. hot. and dirty in here!’’ “Yes, it’s terrible. This job of Ix-ing refined and created into something that will l c useful to the world is no easy matter. answered Virginia Fitzpatrick. Evidently there were others who were becoming weary of the struggle. I wondered whether I should have company if I waited. At that moment Louie DcAromn spoke up. “Sometimes I think that I’ll give up trying, and just fall back to the bottom. Yes. it’s discouraging to stay down here four years; and sometimes it takes longer.” sympathized Mardis Wallace. A new note entered the discussion. Oh. hut it would never do to give up and fall down; then wc would never get hack without a tremendous effort. encouraged Mary Lancy. “N'o, wc can’t give up. We would have to l rgin all over again. agreed Rita McNeil. Wc are getting along tine. now. We should all W thankful that two years arc gone, and that the third will soon be over. s Ida DcArman said this. 1 could feel that she was looking at Louie. A boy’s voice tilled the pause. Yes. if you'll only look down ami see all the pupils who have just started up the ladder, you’ll feel U'ttcr. I was surprised to know that Boh Glen was planning to stick to the end. It seemed onl natural to hear Jacquc Owen add. And then look up and see the otics in front of us. who are not so far from the top. It was then that James Dcttsmore proved himself the true president of the class ‘‘Let's sing the Fairfield High School Song to keep our courage up.” he suggested. Before they could begin, Haynes Kelley said Keep Itelicving that wc shall reach the top. just as the others arc doing. Wc must not hack-slide. It is possible for us to fail even now. and fall Kick an unfinished product. came from Mary Lewis. “Yes. wc must keep on working until the end.” agreed Isabelle Sellers. I was not surprised to hear James Harrell say. “With the goal so near, wc must work all the harder. However, it was the speech of Marjorie McLaughlin that really started me to climbing l ack into the Crucible. “Students, I can see light now. The dawn is coming. Before you know it, we’ll be walking around, doing our bit in the world—a finished product from this Crucible! By the time she finished, I had hopped back in. and was in time to join Marian Hayes as be called out, It won’t be long, now!’’ Joseph i n e Archer.

The breeze played upon my checks and crci t noiselessly through my hair. Everything seemed as still as it a spell had been sent from above. Alas! What was that? Didn't I hear, “Whoo. whoo!” I stopped, looked and listened. Surely I could not have been mistaken: 1 heard it again. What could it be: I concealed myself behind a tree, as I was taking no chances. My. why should I l c so alarmed! It was only Mister Owl that I heard “whooing.” But 1 noticed that he wasn't asking me who I was; he was looking in another direction. A ray of light made a narrow, but Itcautiful pathway through the center of the dark, shaded road. From where could it come, and where did it lead? My attention was drawn to the source of the light, as Mr. Owl again said, “Whoo. whoo I saw a form, the form of a girl, coming toward me. Her hand was held high al� ovc her head in Statuc-of-Libcrty fashion. Who could it be. and what was that huge something behind her? I crouched from view lichind the tree. The procession came nearer and nearer, hut the ray of light did not seem to move in front of the procession. It was as Mill as if it had a fixed ending. Well, I would attend to where the light led later: so I concentrated my mind on its source, which was the procession. Why. if it wasn't Doris McDowell carrying the torch of wisdom! The object behind her was none other than Miss Blair with all the juggers clinging to her. How proudly she walked! Some clung to her skirt: these l� eing Lorene Jackson. Maxine Brown. Mary Lancy, Mary Frances Buck, and Josephine Archer. Bearing up the hem of her gown, were Elsie SjHarinan. Johnnie Shaw, Maycic Thompson, Elizabeth Hartman. Eugenia Cosper. Thelma Brooks. Eloisc Addington, Sue Beth Nixon. Mildred Posey. Gene Windham, and Ruth Shaw. Our lady's arms were outstretched; and upon these capable arms sat Kathleen Kelly. Katherine Williams. Myrna Andrews. Brownie Simmons. Louise llosey, Myrtle Johnson. Sara Johnston, Audrey Maccrtncy. Agnes Salter. Evelyn Gill� ert. Anita Coker. Geraldine Hawkins, Sara Bell Graham, and Grace Wilson. I’pon the shoulders, holding to either ear. sat Louise Walsh and Louise Gwillim, our secretary and treasurer. Upon the sturdy head sat Mildred Brock, our president And that’s not all. What could be better and safer than to have Miss Jacka coining along in the rear to see that all of the • juggers were safe and sound? She was armed for momentary action, not with material armor hut rather with mentality with which to protect and direct the “juggers.” I also noticed that each member carried a sack upon Her shoulder. At first I could not understand why they had them, hut I learned this later. The procession went on. It reached Old Fairfield High School, hut the ray of light did not end there. It went far out and away from the dear old school. It finally broke into thirty-five different rays, these rays leading into the futures of each one of the thirty-five mctnl ers of the J. U. G. Club. Where they lead, we do not know. Let us hope that each girl will lay her little sack of accomplishments in a bright spot where they will shine for man and make this old world happier. Sclah.

I A TOAST TO FAIRFIELD HIGH In looking over the lug of t!ie Fairfield High, one finds man) thing . j interest. The following are a few of the most important items: In 1921 the steamer. Fair field High, was launched on the Sea of Education. The first year it was piloted hy C aptain Graves and his four deck haiids There wore ii t many passengers. The ship was small: and so it could venture through only two years work. It reached two port- of History, English, Science. Math and Latin. During t’le next three years the steamer was piloted by Captain Stuckey The passengers increased every year; new ones kept coming ahoard as the old ones went ashore to enter the different walk' of life. During these three year.' thv school reached the port of accreditation; ;ds harbor' of French. Manual rt'. Home Kconon ic«. and Physical Education. In 1923. three ports « i Athletics were reached. These were Football. Basel a 11 and Girls Basketball. In the fall of 192� ( iptari Cook took command of our dearly loved steamer. Me added the part of Commercial work to our list of stops. In 1927 the harbor of Physical Education was discontinued until future years. hairfield High is at present sailing along very smoothly and is now making twenty-five ports each year. I lie passengers who have sailed on this ship have learned many things which will aid them in future years. I hey have left the steamer to tread the walks of life. Many of them have gone to cruise on 'till larger Uamers; while oolite arc holding down responsible positions in our town and others There arc nearly three hundred passengers aboard now.

When a little more tight was needed, he had it. Hr proved his ability in the Hucytown game. I air held High herewith commends him on his excellent leadership. A xios Crock hi “Crocket 2 years Center Amos ranked among the l est centers in the state. He handled the ball like a veteran throughout the season He will not l c hack next year. Gedrok Brink 2 vears “Baby Back If the way that Baby played this year is any pointer towards the future, he is destined to liecome a worthy successor of Tony Holm. James Dens more 2 years Dude” Back Ducie was the fast man of the team, and his long runs against Jeff Co. Hi provided the fans with many thrills. Seventy-eight THE CRUCIBLE Joe Tucker 2 years Cotton Tackle Colton was not so large, but lie was hard to lxrat on the line, lie showed up in the Jefferson County and luwley games. Tucker will not l� c l«ck next year. William John Piiilot 1 ycar ' ockct Guard Philpot could stop anything in his path, lie was missing from the line up in the Huey-town game because of injuries received during the Leeds game. This is PhiljKit's last year Douglas Sellars Red 2 years Tackle “Red was the iron man of the team. He played in every game although hampered by an injury. Wc regret that this is his last year to help stop Hueytown. Duggan Hoartkikld 1 ycar fiordy Back Although Duggan had not had very much experience as a back, he showed his ability to carry the hall for yardage when the team was in need.

Marius Wallace 2 years Back Wallace was handicapped from the beginning of the season with a broken collar bone received during practice. He received the same injury in the Hucytown game. Wallace had the real lighting spirit. Jame - Harrell 1 year “Foots Guard Another man who will have a chance to make a name for himself next year is James Harrell. Harrel is big and powerful and has the ability to take care of himself in the thick of the fight. Duncan Huffman 1 year -Unde Dunk” Back Although the smallest man on the team, Duncan was nevertheless a powerful running hack. One of his greatest feats was when he caught a fifty-yard pass and ran for a touchdown to tic the score in the Leeds game. Eighty THE CRUCIBLE p.vf Hahoi.ii Crain “Lot lie” 1 year Tackle Crain was the lust tackier of all the linesmen. When he was in the game, he usually made the tackle on the kick-offs ami punts. He will lead the 1V28 squad. Lapeu.e Alvkrson 1 vear Polly'' End •Tolly could take a pass out of the air like taking candy from a hahy. lie was one of the stars in the Hucytowu game. 'Tolly has one more year to play. Albert Bullock 1 jear Loosa End “Loosa won the heart of the people with his tirst appearance on the gridiron. He was a great pass receiver. Loosa will he hack next season. Evert Swenson 1 year Sweeny End Although a small man. “Sweeny was one of the main cogs in the Tiger machine. He was fast on his feet and usually got his man. He played his best game against Jeff Co. Hi j'ldlf.V-OHC T II K C R UC I B L E 19 8 BOYS' BASKETBALL Tlu Itoys’ basketball team was handicapped from the l� eginning of the season on account of the lack of equipment and experience. But through the wonderful efforts of Mr. Ray and tile boys, Pairticld turned out a basketball team that was the talk of the school. The team made a very good record for the year and has succeeded in establishing a new sport in the Fairfield High School.

In the above picture arc Mr. Cook and Coach Clements, carefully guarding the Reach Trophy won by the team. T H E C R U C I B L E GIRLS BASKETBALL The Kairlicld High Girls' basketball t-.arn was organized in 1925 l� y Miss Dorcas Jacka. who fur two years very successfully coached the team. This year, under the direction of Miss Camille Mhright. and with the whole stjuad l� ack, with the exception of the guards, the team has had an unusually successful year. Some of the outstanding points oi the team have been its splendid team week and good sportsmanship, which are both very valuable assets to a good team. The girls thought more of how they played the game than of whether they won or lost. The flashy and accurate forwards. Captain “Jo ’ Hiuten anti “Red” Morris, could always be depended on for the points. They both played a good game. s this is Jo's” last year with r U. S., the coach will have a hard task before her to find someone to take her place. To Ida Margaret DeArman ami Ijou Sims, the faithful centers, goes much credit for their smooth work They (flayed their responsible. positions well. Lou has also played her last game with the Fairfield Tigerettes and will l e hard to l� c replaced. Bertha Gompers and Meathel Minor, although new additions to the regular team, played their positions as guards, like veterans. The subs, faithful until the last.” also showed up well: and when a chance came for them to play, they put their best into the game. LINE-UP Joskimiink Minton (Captain) .
