PuLLU B, Jlie. tuJen t .5airlorn School l9 3airl OMj Ok io airborn Dedication of the new High School build- ing took place on November 1, 1953. It is located on a 25-acre tract of land and houses 650 students. The estimated cost of the new building was $1,044,360 of which $969,360 was contributed by the federal government, and $75,000 by the local community. The new school contains 21 classrooms, a music room with four practice rooms, a cafe- teria, library, and an auditorium. Ground has been broken for the erection of a new Field House to be attached to the east V behoof end of the building with a seating capacity of 4.000 persons. At one end will be a stage completely equipped with theatrical lighting and other facilities, as a setting for plays and concerts. The Stadium will provide seating for 2,500 persons on the Vest side of the Football field. Thus the building program was a very neces- sary part in the development of a fast growing city which has developed from a tiny village of 1.000 persons in 1913 to a thriving metropolis today. This increased population made neces- sary the huge building program which is now in progress. Jlie Editor peaL Man’s age-long effort has been to be free. Since the beginning of time, he has rebelled against the forces of tyranny that would enslave his mind or body. During the mid 1800’s there occurred, the world over, a revolution of great social significance. Imprisonment for debt and flogging as a punishment were abolished. Great movements were initiated for world peace, women's rights, abolition of slaves. One of the most important movements of widespread significance during this pe- riod was toward a system of free education. This ideal was strenuously opposed every- where by the wealthy, primarily because of the need for increased taxes, but also be- cause it was felt that the workingman need not be well-educated. In 1830 a working- man’s convention resolved that there can be no real liberty without a wide diffusion of real intelligence — that until means of equal instruction shall be equally secured to all, liberty is but a meaningless word, and equality an empty shadow.” We of this generation are indeed thankful for the wonderful progress that has been made toward equal educational opportunities in our community. We are proud of our scholarly instructors and our fine buildings. I believe that if every community in the world were so blessed, then, surely peace and happiness would come to this troubled world. We are appreciative of the academic freedom, our fine teachers, and of the freedom of thought and speech that we now enjoy. We can keep these freedoms only as long as we are self-reliant and vigilant through the crises of our times. The faith of the past so- cial crusades must be ours, and only if we have that faith can we guide the world to the fulfillment of liberty and equality — and thus to the final glorious achievement of peace and happiness . John Gidcombe ibetli ication We, the authors of Flight '54, dedicate this, our Yearbook of Memories, to the spirit of educational progress, as well as to the civic minded citizens of this fair city, who have had the vision to plan for our future needs in education. We trust that, with the divine help of Almighty God, the chains of ignorance and lethargy shall forever be broken, and that we shall walk into the dim, uncertain future with enlightened minds and uplifted hearts in the service of mankind. Herbert Dalin H. K. BAKER Superintendent of Schools Wan. of the Ijear. Superintendent Baker named (Man of the Year) for 1953 is an outstanding edu- cator and business executive. He is a kindly father, a civic minded citizen, and an ener- getic administrator. He has long possessed that undefinable quality which makes him a shrewd interpreter of youth, and an exacting leader of men. He is highly respected and admired in his community and an international coordi- nator in intellectual advancement. All of these qualities, coupled with an amiable disposition and an honest heart, make him worthy to be named MAN OF THE YEAR Educational foundation5 The true foundation of a growing community, the cement of which its character is moulded, lies in the people. During the long course of history, it has often been said that a well-informed peo- ple is a free people. How true are these words today! We have the all-too familiar exam- ples before us of the wretched conditions of the enslaved millions in those parts of the World, where the light of freedom has sadly been extinguished. Due to the evils of ig- norance and indifference in planting the seeds of learning, and seeing them blossom among the masses of the people, these countries have been conquered by the brute force of their aggressors, and made to suffer the cruel punishment of tyranny, and have had the slightest hope of freedom removed from the heart of all. In other nations the decline of moral values has proven to be the ultimate downfall of their civilization, as can be gleaned from the history of the Romans. Before there can be strength militarily, there must be knowledge and understanding, for education is the refinement of the intellect. Herbert Dalin Our CUL enae It is always a thrill to have something new — new clothes, a new pencil, a new car. Only occasionally are we privileged to move into a brand new home, espe- cially a new school home, as modern and as nice, as is ours here at Fairborn High. Never before have so many oppor- tunities been offered to high school stu- dents for the development of their tal- ents and abilities. However, we shall not feel that our program is adequate until all boys and girls of high school age are attending high school and are de- veloping to the fullest extent possible, their inborn talents. These are critical times but most inter- esting and thrilling times. Our challenge to you, the youth is — grasp the oppor- tunities that are yours. Your challenge to us, your parents and your teachers, will be to provide you with more and more opportunities for development into more wholesome, happy citizens in a free and peaceful world.

We had three main activities which were all suc- cessful. These being the South Seas Swing, Sadie Hawkins Day Party, and a White Elephant Sale. Time flew swiftly by and we soon found ourselves entering our sophomore year. It was in this year that we had to get down and ’ dig, but not only in scho- lastic events, but in social events too. We sponsored the Shoe-Sling Sock Hop and our first skating party. This year went slowly by, and we fi- nally found ourselves emerging into our Junior year. In this year we really out- did ourselves! Our play, January Thaw,” had people applauding from here to eternity. We had a most secretly planned prom which proved to be the most talked about affair ever, Colonial Cotillion.” Then came the exciting plans for our ex- cursion to Washington, in our Senior year, which we carried out by our paper and scrap-iron drives, and the selling of plastic towels. Our newly organized parents' club started off with a bang by having two very successful wrestling shows. Then the great day came and we found ourselves faced with only one more year. We were Seniors! We found ourselves soon in a whirlwind of activities. Fair- born became the cleanest town with our paper and scrap iron drives, and the sell- ing of plastic towels, shampoo, and room deodorant. We wowed the town with our series of shows. Our play, Father of the Bride, our variety show consisting of the Womanless Wedding and our theatre show. We sponsored the Homecoming Dance in which we had the biggest turn- out of alumni. The reward we received for our four years of slave labor was the most COOL. CALM AND UNCOL- LECTED trip to Washington. We re- turned to graduate on May 27, 1954. Thus ended an illustrious four years at Fairborn High School.

The Senior Play, Father of the Bride written by Caroline Francke, was the first play to be presented in the new auditor- ium. It was a fast moving comedy with the leads, John Gidcombe, the father; Pennie Perkins, the bride; and Fred Funke, the groom. John Gidcombe Mrs. Banks . Pat Koeppc . Pennie Perkins Ben Banks Bill Terry Buzz Taylor Jack McCarty Peggy Swift Delilah Judy Blum Mary McGuire Joyce Swartley Vilis Kilpe Toe Fred Scnseman Gene Sipc Pete Larry Heider Hubert Gross Mrs. Pulitzke Overda Lipp May 27, 1964 John Gidcombe. Senator of Illinois, Washington, D. C. Dear John: You asked for the latest ''info” on the class of 54 —well here it is. . . Remember that crazy Bob Adams who was going to be a millionaire-’ Well, he is! Anna Adkins is doing pretty well herself. She caught her man as well as her fingers between the typewriter keys. (If you will recall she wanted to be a secre- tary.) Larry Anderson, the real gone engineer completed his bridge to the moon. And Joyce Ashley got her leg caught on the bar (ballet) and hasn't gotten it off yet. Guess what? Joyce Baker was the first commuter on Larry's bridge to the moon. She plans to set up her own medical laboratory there. Bob Barr has received his Wings to make him a full-fledged colonel in the Marines. And Jeanette Beal, after graduation from Miami Uni- versity, is instructing children but not in school. (They arc her own—five of them.) I have received word that Judy Blum has tipped the elections in Spain and she is the first woman ambassador to that country. Oh. those lucky Spaniards! Wilgus Campbell is a crooked politician. He helped to get Judy elected. Venus Cantrill's high school efforts finally paid off. She is executive manager of a large chain of drive-ins. Eugene Carl has been elected president of the Amalga- mated Society of Masculinity Opposed to Feminity. Rita Carrabba is editor of a column from Miami University, straight from the boys' dorm. (She has in- side information!) Don Christopher is now owner of 126th filling sta- tion in Fairborn. Virginia Crack up Christopher won the sweepstakes in Indianapolis 500 and seems to be the crowd's favorite. Gcarldinc Combs, the outstanding marine, had twins while spanning the Pacific on her 10th world tour. And now Lc Roi Cottrill is the proud papa of a new- automatic hat-takcr-offer-coathangcrupper. Also El wood Coyle has invented a new chemistry chart for the chemistry students. Maestro Herbert Dalin has finished the Unfinished Symphony and found the Lost Chord. And do you remember how Janet Daniel always wanted to travel? Well, she is still traveling on her stairway to the stars. As for Windy Day. she is working at W.P.A.F.B. earning a small fortune and spending most of it on her vacation to California. Joan Dean is really making her fortune by curling Libcrace's hair. And guess what. Alva Deaton is the proud owner of a business school, where he teaches tall blondes how- to type. Also do you remember that cute future nurse. Bar- bara Denton? Well, she not only landed her medical degree, but she also landed her man a former patient! Emily Dove's finally put her psychiatric work to good use for she made Libcrace's brother say something at last. Richard Gerald Egts has become president of a Jarge motor industry mart, because of his ability to take care of himself, and also because he invented a car that flew. Miss Loretta Elam has been named assistant coach of the Harlem Globe Trotters. Dick Folk is playing a wicked game of baseball under the lights at Cincinnati and is also kept busy with his own baseball team. J. L. Fultz is very active in the racing world. He lives in Florida and is executive head of speed-boat racing down there. Senior C feixs Fred Funke, the foremost sports-editor, just returned from a vacation at his monthly hunting lodge. He wanted to stay longer but he had to get back to his sports magazine. And occasionally Pat Getter ventures from her tidy home in the country to take trips abroad which have always been a great delight to her. Carl Greer, who in high school was undecided on a vocation, has decided to go into the field in which Hubert Gross is excelling rapidly; this field being pub- lic speaking before large business organizations. Dr. Edward Hagcrman better known to his classmates as Eddie, is now head of the chemistry department at Ohio State. He commutes daily in his sporty Jaguar. We find the new addition to the Vogue Magazine staff, is Mclc Hall who done very well with her crea- tive genius. And we find Marylou Harris at Ohio University taking post-grad. work. She has become very interested in the mechanics of typewriters and wants to be well-informed on them. Marjie Hayslett has now reached the height of her ambition; she is flying high—in a super jet as an air line hostess. King Larry Heider is now reigning on his farm. And last Sunday I saw Glenna Hensley playing the organ for her husband in his own church. She plays beautifully. First place was just won by Lois Hinkle in the Fourth of July Rodeo at Jose's Ranch in Carollton, Texas. We're really proud of her. The new phys. ed. teacher arrived in Fairborn last week. It was none other than Dora Hoagland. I hear she has big plans in mind for G.A.A. Another classmate we arc really proud of is Dotty Hodge. We find her much too busy for words—she is Secretary to the President and finds little time for much else. Also, Byron Jones is very busy defending criminals all over the country. He is a much sought after man; ranking as one of the ten most wanted men Butch Kelley is now raising cheerleaders to cheer Ty's team on to victory. He is also working on his own team. John Kendig we haven't heard from in the longest while. He left Ohio for an expedition to Tasmania and hasn't been heard from as yet. Vilis Kilpe ha been named Surgeon of the Month at Mayo Clinic, and his services arc very muchj in demand. And Mary Kirkland has given up her journalistic work and has settled down to being the First Lady of Virginia. Pat Koeppe is the private nurse to the surgeon-gen- eral of Boston hospital. And we find Virginia Larch on the Olympic Team this year representing the United States in the 240 swimming meet. The motto of Dave Lawver now is Big bridges from little scholarships grow. Harold Leach we find has developed an uncanny knack for sleuthing. He know's where to hit and does! He is a professional boxer, soon to be seen in Madison Square Garden. And if you happen to dial the Pentagon some day. you may find yourself giving the number to Ruby Lewis, who is a telephone operator there. Also if you ever happen to be in Indianapolis, drop in at the speedway, for there you will find the two Lewises. Dave and Daris trying to outdo each other on the track. Profih Ovcrda Lipp has recently returned from a European hospital. She was entertaining the ill. And with the mind of Carroll Lovett, we find the world prettier and prettier. Carroll has become another Luther Burbank. Dell Lowrie is also following the path of a great man. Thomas Edison All day Dell listens to bells to test their quality for the tones. Just returning from his last furlough is Jack Luce and we find him in fine health, being most happy in his life in the service. . Remember Ray Marcum who was always talking about rods —well, he is really a rod himself. He has broken the light record in his own private jet. And Beverley Martin, who can well be remembered by class of 54 cannot be pinpointed right now; she went with Marcum on his flight and he lost her out in space someplace, no one knows where. As for Bob May. he is the kiddies’ favorite cowboy on Television. His stage name being Bounce Along. Myrna McCalla is still working diligently at the bank while going skiing on her vacations. Speaking of banks, it was really a bad break when Jack McCarty broke the bank at Monte Carlo, but see- ing as he’s a doctor, it was quickly fixed up. Mary McGuire is really knocking them dead at the nearby hospital. And Mary Jo McLaughlin is teaching high school stu- dents how to charleston, for they seem to have forgotten how; it has been outmoded by the modern dances. Then Gert McMahon came up with the idea of teach- ing fencing to students also. So Mary Jo and Gert have gone into partnership. If the boy gets too close while charlestoning the girl can ward him off with a saber! And as yet we haven’t contacted J. C. Moore. He is so enveloped in rewriting Webster's Dictionary that he is hard to get ahold of. Another member of our class who seems to be en' joying service life is Gene Mountain. He is a fly-boy in the Air Force. We also find Annie Mowbray sailing to the top of the ranks in the Waves. Well, Sue Norris got her World Series ticket for 1964. She got to see her husband, Ty, play. As for Mary Lou Ormcrod—two years after gradua- tion. she visited West Point; liked it so well she decided to enroll. Eleanor Ottino is still trying to get one of her sisters out of their apartment so she'll have a place to live. Barry Packard crashed in the Pacific while flying his outdated jet and his training as a frogman was finally put to good use. And Nella Mac Payton is a very efficient secretary to the internationally famous actress Pennie Perkins. Home from the navy. Jim Phillips has gone into partnership with his father in the automobile business. While in the navy. Jim was musical director of a Variety Show. Carole Ann Pond is extremely busy these days keep- ing track of her Leins Club.’’ Arlene Porter, after moving around for several years, has settled down to being Miss Cupcake for Eavey's. Marjic Putoff is also a secretary, but finds it differ- ent than that she learned in school. She is secretary to a talking mule; Francis is now on his own! Ann Rainbolt is administering aspirins and bromo- scltzers to frustrated students. And Gene Rkhter is now assistant coach at Ohio Uni- versity. I hear the position of head coach isn't too far away. Mary Lou Ross is living a very prosperous life as a wife, mother, and part-time typist. The champion world bowler chosen last week was none other than Allan Routt. And Grayson Rudy is working very hard at his job of assistant manager of a chain of drug stores so he can retire at the age of 50. John Schauer has received his professorship in en- gineering. As a hobby he can be seen after hours on a basketball court. And we find that Fred Senseman who now lives in Southern California is advertisement manager of a movie studio. Susanne Sharp was hired to make two Easter outfits for the President s wife. She has achieved great repu- tation as the foremost seamstress of the country. And Edward Shearer, after much college training, has opened a School for Boys out in the west. Also Roger Sherman, still quite the cassanova. is wowing the women in Hollywood. Gene Sipc is one of the most promising basketball stars our country has seen in the history of basketball. Gene is playing for Rio Grande. Sandy Smith is now teaching French at Oakwood. And Janet Spahr seems to be enjoying life driving her 1964 Ford. She can afford these luxuries as she gets her dry-cleaning free. June Stover after being secretary to a minister for several years, finally received her wish of becoming a choir director. And Jerc Studcbaker made her first appearance on T.V. not too long ago. and as a result is now singing with Ray Anthony's band. A very cultured girl. Joyce Swartlcy. after her Euro- pean tour, is now the social chairman of the international functions held by the Whitchouse. Althea Taylor whizzed past in her lavender Lincoln convertible; all that and a house in Beverley Hills too! Don Teach, the world’s most successful farmer, has cultivated the largest piece of land ever to be cultivated. Stocks from the Sun Oil Co., have gone up and the main reason is the new manager. Bill Terry, has done such a marvelous job of management. And with Konrad Toth we have the world's most beautiful rock collection. He is an archeologist and keeps souveniers from the ruins he unearths. A top athlete of the day. Scotty Wells is now in the finals for the Davis cup in Australia. Faith Whitaker, very sueixssful in her chosen field of art. has received the Pulitizcr Award. La Vera Whitt, who married into the Air Force is kept busy constantly packing and unpacking because her husband is always being transferred. Clara Wolfe is a stenographer at a big dairy farm in Indiana. Jane Wones finally heard her echo after traveling all over the Swiss Alps looking for it. Alice Wuichet has married her millionaire. I hear it was the psychology she used that made him pop the question. One cf his many appealing qualities was a Jaguar. The newest addition to the disc jockey world is Norma Wyrick. She finds this life very exciting. Also new is the Tool and Dye Company in Fairborn. Marvin Zimmer is the president of the huge concern, and parked in front of his penthouse can be seen his mark of distinction, a snappy roadster! Our information bureau is closing now. Bye. Bye. —THE GANG— P.S. Almost forgot! Mary Welch finally got her M.D. (even if she did have to marry it). Also, Ivan Thompson received his degree from the University of Alaska. He married an Ohio girl and they arc now cosily snuggled in their own little igloo. We, the class of 1954, being of sound mind and body, do hereby leave to the class of 1955, the glorious privilege of being the eldest group of students in the high school. We, the class of 1954, being of sound mind and body, do hereby leave to the class of 1955, all the rights, respect and honor due to a senior class.

We, the class of 1954, being of sound mind and body, do hereby leave to the class of 1955, the seats in the middle of the auditorium in hope that they will get as much enjoyment out of them as we did. We, the class of 1954, being of sound mind and body, do hereby leave to the class of 1955, a trip to Washington. We know that they will use this to the best of their ad- vantage. We, the class of 1954, being of sound mind and body, do hereby leave to the class of 1956, the responsibility of helping the class of 1955 with their job as the senior class. We, the class of 1954, being of sound mind and body, do hereby leave to the class of 1957, all of our stored-up energy and ambition to carry on their already colorful jour- ney through the next three years. We, the class of 1954, being of sound mind and body, do hereby leave . . . The senior class of Fairborn's, mighty neat, We stand a hundred per from head to feet. We've got the style, the jazz, the winning way. When people look at us you'll always hear them say, Now there’s a class that's really going far, Someday each one of them will be a star. The senior class of Fairborn's mighty neat. Can't be beat, from Fairborn High! junior C (ci35 iceri Seated: Peg Duncan, Vice-President; Karen Smith, Sec.; Pat Dransfield, Treas; Standing: Joe Sheridan, Pres. The Juniors have been jokingly called the livewire class.” However, it really does seem to fit them. From early in their Freshman year they have been working toward that goal of a trip to Washington D.C, when they graduate. First it was the Freshman Dance, then several months later, when they were Sopho- mores, the Sophomore Christmas Formal, and a Magazine Drive. With the coming of the Junior year came many new privileges. A new school to work in, to give various programs in, and the best possible equipment to work with. For the first time for us came the duty of giving the annual class play. Then just after the play, preparations for the Prom were to be made. With all the hard work and planning the Prom was made a really special event of the year. But finally with all the highlights and shadows the Juniors came through with flying colors and have earned that title, The Livewire Class”. by Peg Duncan Junior Class Advisor Junior Class Advisor Miss Randall Miss Titlow FIRST ROW—Larry Ackerman, Marvin Arnold, Carol Bailey, Janis Beacom, Ethel Bel- low, Joe Becasso SECOND ROW — Dale Blackmore, Elwood Bogner, Sondra Borchert, Dorothy Boyd, Sharon Bloomhurst, Athlyn Brantly THIRD ROW—Tom Brashear, Carol Burgess, Hurndon .Burton, Sherman Campbell, Nancy Cantrill, Dave Chaney FOURTH ROW — Wendell Clendenin, Clayton Combs, Barbara Cox, Clayton Cox, Georgadell Cozad, Don Crawford FIFTH ROW — Phyllis Crooks, Jack Crum, Frances Crum, Marvin Cowman, Janice Degenhart, Clara Dinwiddie SIXTH ROW — Kay Douglass, Pat Dransfield, Pat Duffy, Don Duncan, Peg Duncan, Georgia Duncan SEVENTH ROW — Fred Ebetino, Dick Eden, Errol Feilback, Bob Frazier, Shelby Frost, Bill Gamble FIRST ROW—Grace George, LeRoy Gessel, John Glaser, Evan Gregory, Lee Grimes, Jewel Gross „ SECOND ROW—Mary Gerlaugh, Janet Greene, Charles Hammes, Margaret Hammes, Glen Haughey, Charlene Hedrick ..

They have sponsored many activities, and helped the class with many of theirs. Some of the things they have sponsored are bake sales, paper drives, and square dances. The biggest activity they have undertaken is the minstrel, given on April 2nd, and 3rd. It was called Showboat Shenanigans and as all of their other affairs, was a huge success. Those parents have certainly been behind us all the w-ay, and when our class boards that train for Washington in 1955, we can thank our parents for helping us to finance our trip. by Gretchen Taggart SPEECH WINNERS One of the members of the Junior class has brought honor to the school by partici- pating in the Prince of Peace Contest at Columbus for the State semi-finals. The student is Gretchen Taggart. She won the local, county, and district contests for the declamation and then went on to be named alternate in the state finals. Another one of the Junior class members, Peggy Duncan, won a trophy for the Am- erican Legion Voice of Democracy Contest held in January. She went on to State com- petition also, and made a good showing in that contest. MUSIC WINNER For the past number of years, Norma Jean Yike has won first place in the state music contests. First of all there is a district music contest held in the spring, and then on to state competition. Norma has always come out first, and we're certainly proud of her.

The purpose is to educate boys and girls in the duties, privileges, and rights and re- sponsibilities of American citizens.

This year, the Sophomores held a grand Christmas Formal which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Later they sponsored a paper drive to increase their funds. To the Sophs we wish all success for the future and know that they will one day achieve an honorable position among the distinguished alumni of Fairborn High School.

The prospect of being the very first class to attend all four years in our brand-new high school has really thrilled the Freshman Class of '54, the youngest group of all. And, henceforth, they will be identified with the entire high school in social status. The Frosh commenced their opening year with a real bang by presenting theii very first dance, the Sweetheart Swirl, which was a tremendous success. Also, they have or- ganized a Freshman sextet, the members of which have proven their fine talent. There is promise of many more projects to be accomplished in the future. In closing, we would like to wish the Class of '57 the best of luck through the com- ing years.

The Student Council is an organization within the school created to maintain a high standard of school spirit. It strives to promote a spirit of democracy and responsibility in the school and encourages better relations between students and faculty, and students and public. The council is composed of students elected from each class, by the mem- bers of the class, and two faculty members, elected by the council. They make suggestions and recommendations for desirable changes in school policies and accept and consider suggestions made by other students. Our council has been very active this year in aiding the members of the faculty transfer their needs into this new school. They have played a very prominent part in establishing several regulations and in acquainting the public and the students with the new facilities. by Peg Duncan Membership in this honorary society is the highest honor conferred by Fairborn High School.

This is no small honor and the students and school should be congratulated on the fine showing. Our beautiful Chapel Services have become a traditional part of our school life. These programs are held once a month and are sponsored by the Speech and Music departments. The inspirational chancel settings consist of spreading palms, gleaming candles, and blossoming flowers, which surround the altar on which is placed Solmen's Head of Christ and the Holy Bible. This Christian tradition will always live in our memories and leave us with a better understanding of the doctrine and discipline of the unwrit- ten laws of Christ and His apostles.

From the number of young hopefuls that signified their intention to travel the cinder path for the coming season, we are convinced that we will have many entries for our first season in the Miami Valley League. We realize that the competition in the new league will be keener than the former Little Six group, but with a past of nine years of Firsts, we feel we can meet any challenger successfully We are fortunate to have twelve letter men returning as the backbone for the many new aspirants, and Coach Heskett is looking forward to maintaining our past records.

This spring with only three returning lettermcn; Sherwood Kelley, third baseman, who led the team in hitting with a robust .429; Bob Vance, Sophomore sensation in left field; and Ty Folk, who batted a tremendous .560; the chances look slim for their first time in M.V.L Fairborn looks like the most inexperienced team in the league. Over fifty boys are expected to turn out on opening day workouts, and some dependence is on those three lettermen to supply the offensive power and defensive spark. Accord- ing to Coach Winkhouse, no position is cinched, and everything is wide open. D. Folk. gjf With two returning lettermen, Dick Steadman and Fred Ebetino, this year’s golf team enters into the M.V.L as the only Fairborn athletic team to carry a Little Six Championhsip into action. The schedule is still in the making, but after last year’s team beat all their M.V.L. rivals, and ended up with a final score of 12 wins and 2 losses, and a 3rd place District win, they hope, with the help of their new coach, John Gorkis, to continue where they left off.

Now to find a vacant table. We cake this opportunity to express publicly our sincere appreciation for the many acts of kind- ness extended to us in the production of Flight '54. Especially do we owe a deep debt of gratitude to the Merchants and Businessmen who have so gen- erously helped us in a material way by reserving advertising space. We leave you now this book of memories which is a cross section of our school at work and play. Our hope is that you will bear with us in our shortcomings, speak graciously of our success, and enjoy that which is pleasing. 1954 Yearbook Staff
