We were quite proud of Lewis Loving and William Keck, the only seniors on the football team, and the girls ' basketball team really did shine! Evelyn Payne, as captain, and Helen Kidd, as manager, were well supported by other seniors on the team. The Mon- ogram Club also was well represented by the Seniors with Evelyn Payne, Harriet White, Lewis Loving, Joan Rea, Julia Holland, William Keck, Eula Marks, Mildred Breeden and Helen Kidd.

A. : Glee Club: presidents to the following clubs: Eleanor Greene Betty Jane Griffin Harriet Bell Lewis Loving Agnes Penn Harriet Bell Lucille Hasher Sandra Williams This year Mildred Breeden was elected president of the Jolly-Six Federation and Evelyn Payne, Historian. The plays, the clubs, the many programs, the athletic teams and games, the parties and dances - even the classes and study halls - have left us with innumerable memor- ies. However happy we are at being graduated, it is certainly with mixed feelings that we leave FCHS. It will never take more than a strain of Anchors Aweigh to recall to our minds our very happy four years and a host of fine friends, but then should auld acquaintance be forgot?
