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.

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.

Birthplace: Toledo, Ohio College: University of Texas Subjea: English ... develop self-expression Through various contests during the year the Speech Department, under the guid- ance of Miss Burns, has brought many honors to Fairborn. Struggling out of bed at the crack of dawn on Saturday mornings, the stout-hearted speech students set out to win a name for themselves and their school in public speaking. This speech experience will prove valuable in the years to come. When a student feels he has a workable knowledge of the king's English he might try his hand in the Journalism Department which consists of the newspaper and annual publications. Mrs. McMahan's department will produce the editors and reporters of the future. Since English and its correct usage is of primary importance in journalism, it is necessary for a member of the journalism staff to have a firm grasp on the subject. But to know the language is not sufficient. He must be original and be able-to express his thoughts clearly. When a member of the journalism staff scans the pages of a copy of the weekly Flyer he can be proud of a job well done. ■'MTS ANN LANGSTON, A.B. Birthplace: Seattle, Washington College: Washington University Subjea: Library Aaivities: High School Library and purchasing and supervision of other Fairborn School Libraries. Whenever a member of the Journal- ism, Speech, or English Department, or, for that matter, any member of the schol, had reference assignments he would find the correct answer in the innumerable reference books in the school library. Under Mrs. Langston's careful supervis- ion the library was kept in excellent con- dition and at the disposal of the student body at all times. JOURNALISM CLASS AT WORK
