Fred Buschemeyer Assistant Principal Millie Parker Dean of Girls ... we aspire to greater goals fit their students, just as the choir director does. But their applause is not represented by one single ovation. It echoes throughout the year. It comes from executives, business- men, housewives, clergymen, mechanics — all types of townspeople who have children in school, or those who are connected with the school system in any way. And most important, this applause comes from us, the students. We appreciate all that they have done to help us develop into individual personalities and to become a part of what we hope will be a harmonious world. They have given us the staff, the notes, the G cleft— all the necessary parts of the framework for life. They have given of themselves, and, It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. —Judy Landrum TEACHERS' COMMITTEE Every executive; no matter how compe- tent, finds he cannot carry the burden alone. We arc fortunate in having a group of fac- ulty members who serve as an advisory board to Mr. Burkhart. They meet each week to discuss the needs of both students and teachers, and to perform the tasks nec- essary in keeping our school running smoothly and efficiently. FACULTY COMMITTEE Mr. Buschmeycr, Miss Baver, Mr. Burkhart. Mr. Marshall, Mrs. Keeler, Miss Randell. Miss Parker. We are all grateful to this group of teach- ers who give so freely of their time and talents to help us.

Edwin Burkhart Principal This marks our fourth year in our new building. You students have shown your pride in it by treating it well. You have proven yourselves to be outstanding in spirit, in devotion to your job, in school citizenship. Success has come your way in scholarship, in music, in speech, and in athletics. We have received our share of honors and commendations for which we are all proud. May your community, your parents, and your school con- tinue to be proud of the work you do at Fairborn High. —Edwin Burkhart under their leadership . . . Every song must have a director to work out various parts, blends, and effects. The leader of a choir, for example, spends hard and long hours in preparation, training his choir, trying to make them into a piece of perfection. Then comes the day of the per- formance. The choir rises, the director comes to the front, raises his baton, and conducts the group in one of the most beautiful concerts the audience has ever heard. The crowd brings down the house with thundering applause. We wish to give our directors of Fairborn High School the same kind of thunder- ing applause. Mr. Edwin Burkhart, Principal; Mr. Fred Buschemcyer, Assistant Princi- pal; and Miss Millie Parker, Dean of Girls, work many long and tedious hours to bene- OFFICE STAFF Mrs. Charlotte Bleininger, Mrs. Cravens, and the office aides are really the best pals a student could have. They always have a smile on their faces and arc willing to help out in any phase of school life. We wish to extend our sincerest thanks to them for doing such a wonderfully efficient job.

Education Birthplace: Yorktown, Indiana College: Wittenberg Subject: English Activities: Freshman Advisor english and related subjects . . . Throughout our high school years, we have continually been told English is a must. In our modern day and age it is essential that every member of society be able to express himself clearly and intelligently. In our English Department grammar is not the only phase of English stressed. The study of great foreign and American authors and their writings was also in- i . Jtorporatcd into our education. After studying the writings of others we gingerly y took pen in hand and tried to express our own feelings. These three phases of English have given us a well-rounded knowledge of this primary subject. Energetic students who desired to put their English talents to further use found just what they desired in the Speech and Journalism Departments. The Speech Department teaches the fundamentals of public speaking and gives students self confidence in expressing themselves before a group of people. I SPEAK FOR DEMOCRACY CONTEST WINNERS One of the activities in which the mem- bers of the speech classes participate annu- ally is the I Speak For Democracy Contest, sponsored by the Fairborn Junior Chamber of Commerce. The winners this year were, from left to right, Mary Esther Johnson, second place; Ken Mitchell, first place; and Sudie Duncan, third place.
