V- . FLIGHT ’55 Published By The Students of FAIRBORN HIGH SCHOOL FAIRBORN, OHIO CHAPEL If there is one thing that will live forever in the hearts of those who have walked the halls of Fairborn High School, it will be the chapel services; produced and presented once a month by students from the speech and music departments. The impressive chancel settings, complete with flowers, palms, and candles, along with beautiful music, and the word of God, cannot but help to deepen the meaning of life, and the wonderful opportunities of education. These services are becoming a tradition in our school, and are something for each of us to hold unique, and sacred in our book of school memories. -2- DEDICATORY PRAYER In dedicating this annual we have received permission from the President of the United States, to use excerpts from his speech, In Connection with the Annual Cere- mony at the Lighting of the National Community Christmas Tree”, in Washington, D. C, December 17, 1954. With these excerpts, we have composed the prayer below. Our Heavenly Father, we humbly approach Thy altar, dedicating this publication and our lives to the accomplishment of World Peace. Among our greatest blessings is our strengthened hope in Thee, to lead us to last- ing Peace. With this spirit and with our nation, we must enlarge the design of our partnership so that we, who marched together in evil days, when war and fear of war darkened this earth, shall enjoy together in days of light, the rich rewards of a secure and stable era. O God, with Thy strength, the strength of our unchanging devotion to Liberty and to Human Justice, we may have Peace. Let us stand for peace based upon decency and right. We — America — join hands with all believers of every faith in a prayer of thanks, and plead that whatever lies ahead, we may be strong, courageous and wise in the ac- complishment of our own task in accord with Thy Divine Will. Thy Will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven.....Amen. SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS H. K. BAKER NEW HIGH SCHOOL THE MASTER KEY In the legend of Indian lore, we find that a paleface may not sing his own praises, and hope to have them acceptable before his God. It seems however that the Great Spirit who watched over the destinies of the red man had returned, and found lodging in the soul and being of one who has been raised up to become a leader and counselor in our community. Yes, as Lowell says, God sends his teachers unto every age, to every clime with revelations fitted to their growth and shape of mind, that the wheels of progress may continue to move. This man carried with him a master key that was to unlock a vast expansion program which would meet the needs of a fast-growing, progres- sive and civic minded city. Endowed with understanding and foresight, as well as de- termination, he launched a vast building program which was to give to our city and its youth one of the most modern and well equipped institutions in this part of Ohio. Yes, that key has turned the lock of a new high school building, a new fieldhouse and stadium, and two elementary buildings in the past five years. Yes, and plans are under way for more elementary buildings, thanks to a civic minded and loyal community, a cooperative Board of Education and a leader who carried the master key. i AND MEMORIAL FIELDHOUSE —s— NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING AND FIELD HOUSE FAIRBORN MEMORIAL FIELD HOUSE We present as one of our greatest achievements of the year, Miami Valley’s most impressive high school athletic plant, which stands as a proud symbol of a community’s interest in its youth. The building is 126 feet long by 134 feet wide, with a spacious playing floor meas- uring 84 feet by 50 feet with cross courts 62 feet by 29 feet. Some of the specialties are — three types of backboards made of glass, large locker rooms, drying area and shower space — two offices for coaching and last but not least two concession stands. Seating accommodations for 2200 have been provided, and four electric scoreboards advise the results of the games. For special pageant or Commencement activities the floor space would boost the capacity to 4,000. And yes, that biggest and last item the grand total cost was $449,016. FAIRBORN BOARD OF EDUCATION PICTURE Mr. Baker, Superintendent of Schools, extends congratulations to the Board of Education through Mr. Hagen, Vice- President of the Board. Mr. Emerson Palmer, Clerk Mr. Vearl Hagen, Vice President Mrs. Catherine Crawford Mr. Fred Kauffman Mr. Robert Kneislcy, President This hard working group of people are the very foundation of our school system, upon which the bricks of educati ion are laid. They work hard and long for every cause (including the building of this memorial fieldhouse) which can further the education of the children of Fairborn. For these many services to the school and community, the people of Fairborn extend their heartfelt thanks. THE EDITOR SPEAKS As the bells rang out, loudly and clearly on Christmas morning of 1954, there was a special gladness in the hearts of Americans; for it was the first Christmas in 15 years that there was not open combat somewhere in the world. How many more Christmases will we be able to say this? Our destiny is up to man. In him lies our expectations for a greater world to be, and the possibility of universal peace. It has been said that wars begin in the minds of men, and so it is in the minds of men that the seeds of peace must be planted. And who is going to plant these seeds? Our generation—you and I— hold man's destiny in our hands. The sole objective today is attaining world peace. Whether we live a life of hap- piness, and opportunity, enjoy the normal activities of marriage, family love, and service; or whether we live in constant fear—finally being blasted from humanity to eternity, unconscious of this obliteration of civilization—depends entirely upon peace. But we do not want a peace that guarantees only the absence of war—we want peace of the spirit, mind, and body, assuring man's soul of the harmony and brotherhood throughout the world. As we see the beautiful steeple of a church rising into God's beautiful sky, the families entering the house of worship together, the wonders of nature round about us, the sound of laughter from a group of children, it seems as though there could never be anything else but peace in this wonderful land of ours. As yet, it is still a dream— but dreams are vivid, and courage is steadfast. Quoting from a journalist, and this should be remembered above all— This living generation should hold its head high, and build its civilization with the thought that the human creator is of much more importance than the thing created, that material workmanship can be created by posterity, but God alone can create the worker. So, as we take leave of our alma mater, may we too realize that In ourselves our future lies.” Gretchen Louise Taggart CROWING PAINS EDWIN BURKHART, PRINCIPAL Bigger and greater problems seem to confront our administrators as the years come and go, and the situation in Fairborn is no different, as growing pains are already manifesting themselves in our new high school building. Every available room, including the cafeteria and auditorium, are being used to accommo- date fast-growing classes, and crowded conditions are obvious. To handle these situations and keep the ma- chinery moving smoothly, indeed, takes a lot of the oil of human kindness. These responsibilities fall on the shoulders of Mr. Burkhart, our principal who in his quite decisive manner plans, figures, and devises means by which all can be suitably housed and made happy. Our efficient office staff is headed by the school secretary. Charlotte Wolfe. Those assisting her arc: Donna Miller, Beth Naragon. Sue Mattia, Judy Kyle and Sevilla Hutchens. Mrs. Rain bolt, our school nurse, is always ready and willing to help, whether the cause for distress be a broken arm or the complexities of the weighing machine. The supply room gals. Barbara Clemmer, Dorothy Boyd. Dana Lan- ning. Lynn Burgess and Judy Null, can be found in the supply rorm before school and at noon, ready to help you with your purchases of school supplies.

Buses furnish transportation for our students. CLASS OFFICERS Secretary — Karen Smith Treasurer — Pat Dransfield Vice Pres. — Peggy Duncan President — Joe Sheridan THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS May 26, 1955, is a day that shall long be remembered, at least by one Hundred nd thirty-four members of the class of 1955. For us it marks the end of a long but successful line of events, each symbolizing a stepping stone along the path of exper- ience. The live wire class of '55, which it has often been called, did not waste any time in conquest of accomplishment. From the organization of the class, up to and includ- ing the Senior trip, that live-wire spirit was still evident. May 26, 1955, also marks the day when one hundred thirty-four graduates will embark upon another conquest, more challenging and more taxing than in the past, but I am sure that that same spirit will be our companion through all of these new experiences. The success of our class could be measured by material means, but more important than any material gain, was our individual pride and respect for our fellow class- mates, all of these intangible characteristics will outlive and outweigh all other gains. We have used as our symbols this year, the Bible and cap and gown. Education and a faith in God has been our guide post and 1 hope shall continue to be in future years. I feel certain that these indestructible evidences of accomplishment will be an indelible mark in the minds and hearts of another one of Fairborn High School’s Senior Classes. To the Class of ’56 and all future graduating classes, we say, Best of luck and keep Fairborn High School the very best in every field.” Class President ’55 Joe Sheridan CLASS ADVISORS Mildred Baver Josephine Randall Martha Titlow George Moody LARRY ACKERMAN Always quiet, sometimes gay; slow and sure, he gdes his way.

That Freshman year was really a riot, now that I look back on it—remember how excited we. were to be associating with those big seniors, and even talking to them sent us into the clouds. When football season came around all the girls had mad crushes” on the heroes of Fairborn’s football squad. After our class was organized with officers and advisors, we began to think, plan, and dream about a trip to Washington when we were seniors. That sure seemed like a long way off. We calculated we’d have to earn between six and eight thousand dollars. The first big event as freshmen was a semi-formal dance called Twilight Twirl.” If I remember right, it turned out to be a big success, and a lot of the upperclassmen did turn out after all. The money we made on that dance was stowed away as a start toward our tremendous goal. Remember the General Science trip we took to the Ohio Caverns? That certainly proved to be a hilarious day, besides being of educa- tional value with loads of pretty scenery. With that trip our freshman year was pretty well finished—of course, we had our class picnic at John Bryan Park, which turned out to be fun . . . with squirt gun fights, and the boys chasing the girls into the woods. When the next fall rolled around we were sophomores, and didn’t we ever feel big then. The first project we launched was a magazine campaign in October We boosted our treasury about a thousand dollars because of it, which put us a little nearer to our Washington trip. The parents club was organized, and they sponsored two successful 50-50 dances to help the class' efforts. In December our class sponsored the first Christmas formal, with decorations as pretty as the prom! A big white tree with lots of lights was the main attraction, with other lights strung about the gym. We felt proud that we should be the instigators of such an event After such an exciting first semester, the sophomores sort of settled down to some book learnin’” for the rest of the year. With the beginning of our junior year we were really upperclassmen! There was so much to look forward to, yet it all went so fast. First, we had another magazine campaign, proving to be more successful than the first. . . As January approached, we all anticipated the rehearsals for the class play. The one chosen was George Washington Slept Here, a three-act comedy, that the cast put on with a Broadway touch.” After that all thoughts turned towards the biggest event of the year—the Jr.-Sr. Prom, sponsored by the class of ’55. The theme we chose was Song of the Islands. The dance was May 8 — an unforgettable date for everyone — especially those who worked so hard for its success. The orchestra, food, and decorations were just right and we felt we’d given the seniors a memorable evening. The parents’ club sponsored lots of activities during the year, the biggest being the minstrel called Showboat Shenanigans.” It would be hard to tell everything about our senior year; but I believe everyone will agree with me when I say we'll never forget it . . . Now, all the boys in our class were the football heroes, and we had at last reached the heights of all our dreams— to be respected and looked up to by the underclassmen, and to complete our studies and receive a diploma. At the close of football season came the annual Homecoming Dance, sponsored by the Seniors. With a beautiful Queen, a handsome King, and unusual decorations, we made our last sponsored dance a memorable one. The senior play, Quiet Summer” was presented in November, adding more joyous memories to our book. Something that every senior looks forward to, finally came—you guessed it—Pictures!! Gosh, what a flurry of excitement to get a picture of everyone in the class. Not long after that we received our name cards. It just didn't seem possible that the time had come to make final plans for our trip to Washington—but, sure enough, it did—right down to rules and regulations, too. But of course before our trip came the prom—with the theme Evening in Paris,” and the minstrel show sponsored by the parents. May 13th was the seniors' last day in high school, and believe me, we really took over, didn't we? With an assembly to announce senior superlatives, read the last will and testament along with the class prophecy, lunch together in the cafeteria, and the taking over of classes. May 15, over 100 happy students boarded the train for a much anticipated trip to Washington, D. G This trip seemed to bring us a little closer together, and bind the ties of our friendships forever. The final step was May 26, 1955, that long-awaited day, when 134 graduates marched down the aisle to receive hard-earned diplomas. For us, it was not the end— but the beginning of a new life, new friends, new places. Whether we be scattered to the far ends of the earth or stationed right here at home—our memories and hearts will always lie at dear old Fairborn High; where for four years we laughed, cried, and worked together—preparing ourselves for better things, and realizing more fully each year that IN OURSELVES OUR FUTURE LIES!” Gretchen Louise Taggart SENIOR SCHOLARSHIP TEAM ROW 1: G.

CLASS OFFICERS Vice-President—Jim Null; President—John Rainbolt; Secretary—Judy Kyle; Treasurer—Mary Fulton JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY . Get Hep! Get Live! Bear ’55! With that slogan in mind the Junior Class began their first big campaign of the year, the magazine drive. For a while it looked as if it couldn't be done, but in the end the Juniors were able to surpass any previous record: Over $5,000 worth of subscriptions were sold, netting the class $1,700. With the magazine drive behind, the Juniors began to look forward to even bigger and better things. This year also saw the formation of the Junior Parents Club. In February, light, tasty cakes, tender pies, and crisp, warm brownies helped to fill the coffers of the class. In March, the play, Home Sweet Homicide,” had the audience rolling in the aisles. With the feeling of romance in the air and the theme of Evening in Paris in their minds, the Juniors are now hard at work on the prom in an effort to uphold their past record, and make this prom the best ever. What lies ahead, only time will tell, but it is certain that many opportunities will yet be in store for the class of '56, and it will take its place with the other great classes of Fairborn High School.

History of the Class of ’57 We have not written too much in our book of history, but what we have added, we feel, are wonderful events to recall. The Sweethearts' Swirl, a dance given in our Freshman year, and this year's Christmas Fantasy, a beautifully decorated formal dance, were well attended, and everyone had a wonderful time. This year, like last, we are collecting tax stamps to add to our funds. However, it is our hope that we can bring more activities for the betterment of all in school during our Junior and Senior years. With such a fine crew of officers, this is our goal. —57— Phyllis Adams Ernie Adamson Gary Aldridge Mary Applegate Bob Armstrong Gary Ater Beverly Baker Jerry Baker Joyce Baker Jim Barr Jim Bartlett Barbara Behme Roger Benasutti Garhard Benz Fred Bolling David Borchert Ann Brammer Betty Brown James Browning Dave Bruggcman JL § k r a j O y n .0 '‘XT' K-y O •- Betty Burkhart Fred Buschmeyer Forrest Carroll Carrie Caudill Dal Chambers John Chapman Stanley Cherryholmes Sunny Chesser Barbara Clemmer Talmadgc Combs Mickey Cclcm.tn Nelda Comill Don Cromer Kay Cunningham Janet Darner Bob Davidson Charles Deaton Andrea Descov Wayne Domigan Harvey Dryden —58— Ronnie Drydcn A1 Dulevitz Sudic DuncaA James Duvall Jerry Ellis Kathleen Evans Chico Feilback Terry Firman Arlene Fisher David Fortune Georg?

The idea of walking the same halls as the upperclassmen, and participating in the same interests, seemed like a dream, too great to come true. The most important thing we noticed was the beauty and artistry manifest in all the halls and rooms. The upperclassmen have certainly kept the building looking very nice, and we shall continue to fulfill the same obligation. Truly our class has had a happy and enjoyable year as Freshmen.

The Student Council, made up of students selected by their classmates to repre- sent them, helps to promote a better understanding between the students and faculty. Activities that we have sponsored are the Honor Banquet, concession stand during football season, and finally, the student supply shop. We entertained the student body with a talent show composed of students from all four grades. Perhaps the most enjoyable event was playing host to all the other student councils from the Miami Valley. It was most enlightening and beneficial to exchange ideas with so many interesting students.

BATH CHAPTER NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The highest honor conferred by Fairborn High School is membership in the National Honor Society. The members of this group are chosen by the faculty on the basis of leadership, scholarship, character, and service. Fifteen per cent of a class is eligible for membership, with five per cent being chosen at the close of the Junior year, and the remaining ten per cent being chosen at the close of the Senior year. Membership in the society is known as active and honorary. The active members are the ones chosen at the close of their Junior year and the honorary members are the ones who are chosen at the close of their Senior year. The biggest thrill in a student's high school career is when a yellow and white ribbon is pinned on him. This ribbon signifies that the person wearing it is a newly elected member of a National organization. The pinning of new members takes place in April and is participated in by members who were elected in their Junior year. The induction takes place one month later, in May. The ceremonies are held before the student body, and are very impressive as each members repeats the pledge and receives the emblem of the society. For the first time, we became an active organization. We elected officers and started planning for projects which could be of benefit to ourselves, the student body, and the community. Our first project was the collection of clothes, toys, and canned goods, which were distributed to the needy at Christmas time. That project was a success and of so much benefit that we feel it should be carried on in years to come. We also helped sponsor the concession stands at the basketball games. The money we netted from this project will be used to defray the expenses of this year's induction ceremony. —7S— Norma Jean Yike SPEECH DEPARTMENT For many years, Fairborn has had an exceptionally fine speech department, one which has succeeded in bringing many honors to the school.

Many people don't realize the ins and outs of building an annual—but just ask any of the members on this board, and they’ll be able to tell you! Twenty-five were selected from the student body, with all the classes represented. These students learn the art of systematic work and cooperation. Long hours were spent after the school day was closed, assembling and organizing the project. We sincerely feel that the public will enjoy the effort that we have put forth in publicizing the cross-section of our school at work and at play. SENIOR ANNUAL STAFF STANDING: K. Smith, C.

Fairborn’s Football Flyers opened what promised to be a fine football season on August 20, bolstered by a large contingent of returning lettermen. Flyer fans had high hopes for a fine record. FAIRBORN 20 VANDALIA 13 Fairborn opened their season by slamming out a hard win over Vandalia-Butler's Aviators. The Flyers were extremely sharp, showing flashes of mid-season form. FLYERS FALL TO 'RIDGERS 27-19 Fairborn’s high flying Flyer’s were given the cold shoulder by the Northridge Polar Bears for their first loss of the season. Scoring for Fairborn were Marv. Cowman, on a 65 yard run, John Torch on a plunge over the middle, and Jim Losey, on a long pass from Tom Howard. FAIRBORN SCALPS INDIANS 47-0 The Flyers of Fairborn went on the warpath against Piqua’s Indians, and ran wild, as they ran up their highest score of the season. This was a team victory, as the second string shared the spot-light with the starters. —9t— a -.Cr r Jack Crum Fred Ebecino Sr. Halfback Sr. Guard All MVL Dick Steadman Jim Losey Sr. Tackle Sr. End All MVL All MVL All Ohio 3rd team Bob Frazier Sr. Quarterback FLYERS WALK PLANK BEFORE BUGS Xenia Central's Buccaneers, although outplayed in most phases of the game, managed to capitalize on the breaks and fashion a 20-12 victory over Fair- born's Flyers. Scoring the two touchdowns were a long pass from Marv Cowman to Don Vallance, and a smash over tackle by Earl Sine. FLYERS FALL TO GREENVILLE 34-19 Fairborn was again stymied by Lady Luck, as they fumbled twice in the early minutes of the first quarter. Both times Greenville drove for touch- downs; after this, Fairborn was never in the game, though the)’ fought till the finish.

The line opened up several gaping holes, as the hard charging backs ran beautifully. This was one of the Flyers best all-round performances. LATE RALLY WHIPS FAIRBORN The Flyers ran out of gas in the last quarter and fell to Miamisburg’s Vikings 28-20. It was a tough loss for Fairborn, who led most of the way.
