THE STUDENTS OF FAIRBURY TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL PRESENT THE 1938 CE I EE Supervised by A. C. WATSON Foreword In this publication the Class of 1938 is attempting to uphold a long established custom of F. T. H. S. Our aim is to portray the various happenings of the past year through pictures, thoughts, and ideas. If to you this book is a work of art in which all inform- ation is reliable and authentic, no characters fictitious, and if you regard it as an educational institution in itself—we will have achieved our goal. As the time for us to leave F. T. H. S. approaches, we pause a moment and reflect on a very joyous and valuable span in our lives. We think of the happy hours we spent here, participating in the many activ- ities of which F. T. H. S. is so proud. We are also reminded of the time spent in studying our textbooks, solving our problems and in later years, as we take our place in this world, we may regard this institu- tion as the basis of our success. Mary Ann Alexander. Editor-in-Chief. Two The Crier � 1938 Dedication IN APPRECIATION The faculty and students of Fairbury High School, desiring to show their appreciation for the loyal and untiring service given to this school by Dr. Law, the former president of the Board of Education, dedicate this book to his memory. With the passing of Dr. Law, we have lost a kind and understanding friend with a deep philosophy of life which endeared him to everyone with whom he came in contact. His in- terest in the school and his conscientious effort in his relationship to us leaves a deep impression of a fine character and the high ideals which he upheld. Dr. Law was president of the Board of Education for ten years, during which time he gave his whole- hearted attention and support in helping to make this a fine institution for the education of many future citi- zens. Those who have attended and graduated from our high school can share in our sincere gratitude toward him. Dr. Law had the interests of everyone at heart and was a friend of all. Though a quiet person, he had a fine sense of humor which attracted many people to him. The fine memories we hold of him make us feel that he has not gone but is just away.

Eight The Crier � 1938 The Crier � 1938 Nine Fairbury Township High School Fairbury Township High School as it now stands was erected in 1915. The Board of Education at that time consisted of F. L. Churchill, President; W. Logan Kring, Secretary, and the other members were: J. N. Bach, L. E. Broadwell, Elmer H. Odell, Emil Keller, and Mrs. Ada P. Foster. The Building Committee included: F. L. Churchill as chairman, and L. E. Broadwell, J. N. Bach. Hewitt and Emerson were the architects and Herbert B. Krauel. general contractor. The heating and plumb- ing contractors were from the Arthur W. Murray Company. These men alone, however, could not have built such a fine structure. Their success was due to the unselfish and untiring spirit of the people of the community. Fairbury Township High School at the present time has an enrollment of over 200 students. The assembly is quite large enough to seat everyone. Also we have adequately equipped laboratories and vocational training rooms. We boast of a Chemistry ar.d Physics laboratory, a completely equipped Home Economics room, for both boys and girls, a typing room with 18 typewriters, all new either last or this year. Also our Agricultural laboratory has up-to-date methods of various seed- testing and agricultural work. In the last few years, a decided interest has been taken in music work and today we have a fully organized music department. From year to year as the classes have been graduated, each has left something behind which adds to the beauty or the convenience of the building. The first class of Seniors that was graduated, in 1915, left the Master Clock, and the class of 1916 left the secondary clocks. This Master Clock, located in the assembly, controls the bell system of the entire school. The loud speaker in the assembly was also given by one of the graduating classes and has proved a valuable asset to the school. In 1924 and 1925, the classes had the pillars erected, two at the driveway entrance and two at the walk entrance to the grounds. Scattered through the halls and classrooms are beautiful pictures that have been given by several classes. In short, Fairbury Township High School is a place from which any student, after he has taken his place in the world, should be proud to point out as the place from which he was graduated.

They were, namely, Mary Ann Alexander, Isabelle Harris, Helen Huette, Mary J. Merrill, Perry Munz, Marion Ramsey, Ersoll Runyon, Martha Steers, at the Edison School; Helen Beckley, Margaret Combes, John Nussbaum, James Sterns, Louise Tipton, Virgil Troehler, and I.loyd Zimmerman, at the Isaac Walton. During the eight years of our grade school education many class- mates came and went. At the time of graduation, there were forty-nine in the class, twenty-three of whom are in our present class. In the Fall of 1934, as freshmen at the F. T. H. S., we were joined by graduates from the country schools, making an enrollment of sixty. During our first year many boys entered in football, basketball, and track. A number of students entered into dramatics, glee club, band. Joseph Vance transferred from Pontiac. Class officers were: Marion Ramsey, President; Ross Dickson, Vice-President; Arnold Rigsby, Secretary; and Helen Huette, Treasurer. Upon returning to school the second year we took a more prominent part in school life. We again took part in sports, glee club, dramatics, band, and the many newly-formed organizations in the school. Our class was enlarged by the enrollment of Betty Smith from Cheyenne, Wyoming, James Grubbs from Piper City, Richard Atteberry from Pontiac, and Mary Ann Alexander from Bloomington. |k In our Junior year we found more opportunity for activities and social interest. There were several athletes in our class who were out- standing in their particular sport. Our play, “Ghost Bird,” a comedy mystery, presented by twelve of us, went over in great style. On April 1 we observed traditional Bum’s Day and entertained the assembly. Other activities in which we entered included: commercial teams, dramatics, and an active part in our much improved Music Department. However, the biggest event of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom, enlivened by a circus background. We were glad to have Irma Eichelberger from Bloomington, and Leonard and Margie Sidfrids from Strawn, enter our class. Class officers were: Mary Ann Alexander. President; Glen Moore, Vice-President; Helen Huette, Secretary; Margaret Rathbun, Treasurer. Now we have reached the end of our secondary education. Although we look forward to graduation, we feel a certain sadness in leaving. In our opinion our biggest accomplishment of the year is the publication of the fourth annual Crier. We are now looking forward to our play. “Nothing But the Truth,” commercial and music contests, Junior-Senior Prom, and, finally, graduation. Class officers are: Mary Ann Alexander, President; Robert Paternoster, Vice-President; Margaret Rathbun, Sec- retary; and Elmer Hallock, Treasurer. The Crier � 1938 Fifteen Senior Class Will We, the Senior Class of 1938 of the Fairbury Township High School, District 130, Indian Grove Township, Livingston County, State of Illinois, in the United States of America, being of sound mind and very wise in the ways of the world, realizing that our vacancy cannot be filled, do hereby loan, give, bestow, and hurl upon the beloved undergraduates of this institution of higher learning most of our assets, abilities, and knowledge specified herewith: First: We wish to bestow upon the whole student body our Serior dignity, mental ability and good sportsmanship.

The Parade of Inventions Virjjil Troehler, '38 The United States did marvel How he invented it, Nobody seems to know, But the late Mr. Marconi Gave us the radio. At the incandescent light, Made possible by Edison So we could see at night. When cars were not so handy And the roads were not so well, The peddlers came a peddling With different things to sell. Way down deep in the water, Where it can’t be seen, Men encased in a shell, They call this the submarine. But then there came a fellow, With a sheet of tin and board, He put them both together And called his plan a Ford. Although their waiting was legible, The burden was made lighter, When a man invented a device That was called the typewriter. And then there were some others, Who put sand and cement in one load, And mixed them with some water, And now we have the road. When you see it lit, You better get out of sight, Because it’s a tough baby, This stuff called dynamite. And now with women driving, They rush to every store, Until today as you know, The peddler is no more. And then there were two brothers, Who did not work in vain, Until one day at Kitty Hawk, They brought out the aeroplane. Although it does look harmless, It doesn’t feel very nice, I don’t know how it’s made, But they call it artificial ice. And r.ow to close this ditty, And give you a little peace, I’ll wager with you ten to one, That inventions never cease. The Crier � 1938 Seventeen American History Jim Tipton, '38 The Civil War is over, at least that’s what they say, But North and South still quarreled, for many a dreary day. The South still wanted slavery, the North said “nothin' doing,” But in the minds of Southerners, many plans were brewing. With all these Black a-wander, they didn’t know what to do. This large and serious problem, had Congress guessing, too. Some Blacks became unruly, some plotted in a gang, And many a Southern white man saw many a Negro hang. Then came the Reconstruction, what to do with Rebel States; Many plans were thought of, and also many debates. Then Congress had a plan, after a lot of deep thinkin’, Another plan was made, this one by President Lincoln. The Radicals then objected, they thought this plan too lenient; They planned to make another, to be much more convenient. Amid much hot discussion, we find another man, This was our new President, he made the Johnson Plan. While Johnson was in power, the Radicals tried to impeach him, And Johnson’s chance to hold his office, sure looked awful slim. The President would have lost his rank, his cause would have fell, Had only one more Senator voted for acquittal. Scalawags and Carpetbaggers, then appeared on the scene, The white people of the South, thought them rather mean. The Scalawags joined the Carpetbaggers, they said it was their duty, But the main reason for this union was, they wanted to share the booty. The legislature of South Carolina, had the two races mixed. They had quite a problem on their hands, and couldn’t get it fixed. The Negroes numbered eighty-eight, with sixty-seven white, And many of the Negro members could neither read nor write. While these Negroes held the power, they set an awful tax, And the progress of this Southern State, became rather lax. With military regiments stationed to stop all violence, The Southern people couldn’t stop, corruption and extravagance. Also harmful to the South, were the works of Union Leagues, These people were almost helpless to the Union’s intrigues. The Southern whites decided that in order to save their treasures, The only thing left to do was to resort to drastic measures. A secret organization was formed, and called the Ku Klux Klan, And every time the Negroes saw them, they turned around and ran. The reason the Klan was started, was to secure some discipline, But after it gotta good start, they caused a grudging feelin1. This organization finally committed general disorder, But General Forrest issued a notice to disband the order. By many of the Southern people the Klan was greatly feared, And after an act of Congress, the band practically disappeared. Finally the Republicans and Democrats broke the Radical power, And Radical ruling in the South, suddenly became quite sour. After this the North and South gradually became re-united, And many a wrong on both the sides had suddenly been righted. Since that time our Country’s grown, and had its ups and downs, And other territories and villages, have grown to States and Towns. Although we’ve had some difficulties, and many foes we’ve met, I think that our own United States is the greatest country yet. Eighteen The Crier � 1938 The Industriae Era John NuxxbHum, '38 It all began in “’34,” When cotton gins came in, The cotton price began to soar, And “sweat-shops” to begin. Inventors found a ready sale, For products of their mind, With uses of petroleum. For fuels of every kind. The farmers had supplied themselves To fill their humble needs, And peddlers selling from their shelves Sold ribbons, pins, and beads. But cities soon began to call. With money, jobs, and noise, So farmers left their farms, and all Sought city wealth and joys. The cities filled with wealthy men, Who made their gold from oil, They pulled all strings around them then And drilled out good rich soil. The rich would live in large fine homes, Far from the stench and dirt Of alleys filled with dead things’ bones; The rich, these could not hurt. The same old cycle has to run, There is no way to stop it, We know hard times are not much fun, So don’t you be too hard-hit. The fact’ries ran by children’s work, They had no proper care. With city fathers—not alert, Improvements were too rare. What happened then will happen now, A panic is the name. The rich men said, “We’ll not allow—” It came though, just the same. The Crier � 1938 Nineteen It Isn’t Lovk Hetty Smith 38. When boy meets girl it’s plain to see he can’t Be kept a suitor long without a kiss. If all girls went upon a strike he’d rant, He won’t try going on without; his kiss he’d miss; A kiss alone upon the dark front steps, Is quite a triumph of a boring night, But you should hear the girls run down his rep, And you’d lind out she’s darned near always right; I’d say if you can find another girl. Who honestly will say she likes to neck You’d better hold her, you have won a pearl, Yet I’d still look at you and say, “Oh, heck,” A boy may think a girl can really spoon But will his ears burn on the next day’s noon. Sonnet Real Happiness Is Preceded by Sadness Helen Beck ley 38. How often when we look ahead in life, And all the obstacles thereof we see Which must be overcome by work and strife, Before our aims of early youth can be. It seems that those who have the things to start Are not the ones who want to get somewhere; And those who work with all their mind and heart, Can truly feel that life is most unfair. But after they have gone through all the years, With high ambitions and a strength of will, And although they have known of cares and tears, The other one may not be happy still, The joy of sincere happiness is not shown In those who have no sadness really known. A Life Lived by Two James Sterns '38. The trunk of that old oak in our front yard Is very much the same as my lithe frame, For its own trunk is very staunch and hard. The limbs compare to arms and legs of me. As long as there is food for each to eat. The tree and I will be alive and aid Each other in preparing when we meet That day in which our blessing will be made. The tall and stately pine is very straight, For it has never told the world a lie, And some day we might pass through heaven’s gate If we can plug along without a sigh. And get to be just like the lonely pine, If we can only keep into the line. Twenty The Crier � 1938 JUNIOR 1 9 3 9 Row Oxi: JUDY ANN BEAN WILLARD BESS MELVIN EUGENE GLEN COOPER Science Club 1.

Characters: Barber, Harold Ward; Customer, Willard Bess. A man sits in a barber chair, his face covered with lather. A barber stands over him. A moment later the heavy beard has disappeared. Harold: Say! You look mighty familiar to me! Why, I used to know— Willard: Don’t say it, let me guess. Now there used to be a fella’ in our room called Harold—Harold Ward, I believe. Harold: Well, sir—you’ve got the right person. Say, I’ve kept lists of all the Seniors since I was a Freshman in high school. I’ll get them and let you look at them while I linish cutting your hair. Willard: Well, would you look at the class of ’38. It’s about the largest of any of them. Let’s see who was graduated in that year. Look who’s at the top of the list. Mary Ann Alexander. The guys used to call her Blondie, didn’t they? Harold: Yes, but guess what she’s doing now. She is known to all the little folks of the radio as Aunt Mary and her Kiddies hour. Willard: Speaking of the class of ’38, Richard Atteberry stopped in to see me the other day. He’s a traveling salesman and sells “Oshkosh B’Gosh” Overalls. And here’s Iris Beatty. She started out to be a secretary and married her boss. Harold: I read that Helen Beckley graduated from college and is employed as washwoman for Ching Chow laundry in Peoria. Willard:Oh, look! here’s one of the Carter boys, Royce. The talk’s that he built an airplane and tried to fly to Mars, and hasn’t been seen since. Harold: He always did have high ideas. And you could have knocked me over with a fender when the other night at the Hotsy-Totsy club who should I see but Margaret Combes, a chorus girl in the floor show. Willard: Here’s Jean Craig, who just lately won the 50-yard dash in the Olympic championship. Harold: They call her Tarzan. Sterling Craig, I remember him. Didn’t he go to California after he got out of school to look tor a job? I guess he found more than that, because he is now married to one of the greatest movie stars of the time. Willard: She calls him “Icky Poo.” Irma Eichelberger! Say, I just heard from my second cousin the other day who is in Hawaii and he said that Irma joined the great society of Hula-Hula dancers. Harold: James Grubbs, wasn’t he that good baseball pitcher? I guess everybody thought he would turn out to be a famous pitcher, but I see he is a scientific re- searcher and is sailing on an iceberg in the middle of the Arctic Ocean. Willard: And here’s Elmer Hallock. I ran into him just the other day eating at Joe’s place out on 44. He says he rurs a transport truck from St. Louis to Texas now. Harold: Who ever would have thought that a handsome boy like Elmer would turn out to be that. Here’s Isabelle Harris. Boy. did she surprise us! She took up missionary work in Africa. Willard: That was rather white of her, wasn’t it? Look at Deretha Hornsby. She makes all the billboards nowadays. She swings through the air with the greatest of ease, a graceful figure on the flying trapeze with Bingling and Bingling Circus. Harold: She always looked to be booked for a trapeze act. Well, well, if it isn't Helen Huette. Did you ever hear how she turned out? She gave up all her luxuries in life to become a Salvation Army collector. Willard: Helen was always interested in other people’s welfare, wasn’t she? Vivian Jessup. She is on a cruise in the Mediterranean Sea on her honeymoon after being married to one of New York’s wealthiest young men. Harold: Mary Jewell Merrill. She was quite chummy with Joan Williams of our class, wasn’t she? She won a trip to Switzerland She decided to stay there and has set a new record in mountain climbing, to a height of 1,932 feet. Willard: Here’s Glenn Moore. You remember him. He and Iris had a fight when they graduated and he was so heart-broken that he took up the profession of auction- eer down on a tobacco factory in Louisiana. Twenty-four � 1938 Harold: Well, I guess Ross Mowery really went in for sports in a big way when he landed the job of pitcher on the White Sox ball team. Willard: Ha! Ha! I guess we were all taken back to find out that Perry Munz has taken the place of Charlie McCarthy, who has long since “aged in the wood.” Harold: Yes, he sure fills the bill. Hm’m, John Nussbaum is in the radio skit, “Texas Ranger.” They call him Thrill-a-Minue Nussbaum; and I wasn’t surprised at all to find that Wilmer Nussbaum ran Walt Disney out of business creating his new character for the screen, Rattle-pus the Rat. Willard: Yes. Wilmer used to draw some clever cartoons back in the old days. And take the case of William Orth, who has taken the place of Professor Kaltenmyer on the radio and has made rapid success. You never can tell what will happen next Harold: I make quite a few trips to visit Robert Paternoster. He took over a wine distillery, and is he popular! And just hold on to your chair and I’ll tell you what happened to Marion Ramsey! She raises chickens on a farm. Willard: Now, let’s see, Margaret Rathbun. She is a ballet dancer for a theatre. Harold: It sure didn’t take long for Ersoll Runyon to rise to fame. Imagine writ- ing gags for the new comedian Back Jenny. Willard: Virginia Schlicher, wasn’t she madly in love with some fellow ard he skipped the country. Now she is house-mother at a Baptist Orphanage. Harold: They say Dwight Seale gets fan mail by the carloads. He’s a melodious tenor and has won the hearts of all the women. Willard: Leonard Sidfrids, isn’t he a life guard on a beach at Miami, Florida? I guess all the girls flock after him. Harold: What about his sister Margery? She’s the famous cooking expert. Willard: Boy, she really gets around! The last I heard of her was that she was chambermaid on the Queen Mary. Harold: Speaking of getting around and doing things. How about Betty Smith? She was married and divorced seven times and new is filing a suit for divorce from her eighth husband because he ate crackers in bed. Willard: Glen Sparks is really swinging it. As soon as he left high school, he took up tap dancing and now dances with a swing band. Harold: How about Bill Spence? Did you know that he took up the study of mummies and is now searching for them over in Egypt? I think he is discovering that studyii g them and finding them are two different things. Willard: Aha! Here we are! Martha Steers, our little golden-haired queen of Hollywood. She changed her name to Martha Delca. Harold: Jim Sterns thinks he’s Hawkshaw the second. Belongs to Scotland Yard and does he have that English accent! Oh deah! Willard: It's funny, but I haven’t heard anything of Arline Stiver lately. I guess she’s still running a trailer camp up in the Adirondacks. Virgil Troehler! Why, I saw him just the other day. He is a street cleaner. Willard: I hear Joe Vance is kr.cv n as the “it” boy. And Richard Thomas is a farmer. And Ethel Fae Simpson helps him. Harold: Jim Tipton got the bright idea of manufacturing invisible ink. All he has to figure out now is a way to read it. Willard: That’s what I heard. I also found out that his sister Louise cooks for a lumber camp up in Wisconsin. Harold: Ruth Wilborn owns a number of horses and entered one in the Kentucky Derby. Her horse came in last, so I saw by the paper yesterday. Harold: Well, here’s Harold Wilken. “Skin,” they used to call him. I got a letter from the old home town today and they say he sells women’s lingerie in the Walton Department Store. Harold: Just a ladies’ man at heart. But wait a minute, here’s Lloyd Zimmerman. I read in the Radio Guide that he’s sound effect man on a radio program. It showed his picture in amongst a pile of junk to make noise with. You could hardly see Lloyd. Willard: Here’s Thelma Zimmerman. She is manager of a Turkish bath. Well, it looks like we have come to the end of our line. I better be going. I’m late for that business meeting new. I probably will be in soon and we can again talk over our old classmates. The Crier � 1938 7wen ty-five History of the Junior Class We were like the seed of a flower, that Freshman Class of ’35- 36. Everyone of our fifty members was firmly embedded in the soil of secondary education, but had yet to develop and show what we had in us. This we proceeded to do, some of us participating in sports and band, and our class contributed freely to the glee cJubs, while others took an active interest in the Home Ec., F. F. A., and Pep Clubs. The following were chosen to serve at the Prom: Jack Morris, Lucille Gibb, Rudolph Jarvis, Phyllis Deputy, John Fugate, Dorothy Zehr. James Lester. Barbara Foster, Carlyle Hayes, and Betty Hirstein. Another year and we believe that the seed has grown considerably. In fact, a semester or two, and we'll already be budding out. This year, with only 49 members in our class, the following participated in sports: Football: Glen Cooper, Rudolph Jarvis, James Lester, Harold Ward, Fred House- holder, Carlyle Hayes, Jerome Downing, and Raymond Householder. Basketball: James Lester, Glen Cooper, Harold Ward, and Carlyle Hayes. Baseball: Jack Morris, Herbert Patrick, John Healy, and Robert Von Bergen. Track: Willard Bess, Robert Wessels, Eugene Carlson, Harold Ward, Jerome Downing, Maurice Ricketts, Byron Dunn, James Lester, and Rudolph Jarvis. Represented in the girls’ glee club were the following: Betty Hirstein, Lucille Gibb, Lillian Reis, Judy Ann Eean, Barbara Foster, Evelyn Reany, Cathryn Wink, Alice Roach, and Dorothy Zehr. Boys’ glee club: Jack Morris, Robert Von Bergen, Fred Householder, Willard Bess, Jerome Downing. John Healy, and John Fugate. In addition to these, many participated in the band. A three-month vacation from school, and back we go to classes and the many activities. We Juniors are inclined to think that the Junior year is the best of them all. We are past the middle High School stage and feel much older. We also have a much wider range of activities to take part in and we are old enough to realize that we must bring forth all we have, or that flower we planted as Freshmen will be just a common ordinary plant, nothing outstanding, not even a healthy bud. As it is, we feel that the flower must grow great and large, meanwhile budding and blooming. Then, too, we are out of the general hub-bub the Seniors must have, worrying about Senior pictures and class rings. The former, I am informed by some of the Seniors, puts one under severe mental as well as physical strain. Those who received credit for first semester glee club work were: Girls’ glee club: Betty Hirstein, Lucille Gibb, Barbara Foster. Ada Mae Kerr, LaVerne Metz, Lillian Reis, Alice Roach. Joan Williams, and Dorothy Zehr. Boys’ glee club: Leslie Tappan, Robert Von Bergen. Willard Bess, Jerome Down- ing, John Healy, Fred Householder, and Jack Morris. Those who did their stuff in football were: Jim Lester, Jerome Downing, Rudolph Jarvis, Harold Ward, Glen Cooper, Carlyle Hayes, and Herbert Patrick. In basketball: James Lester, Glen Cooper, Harold Ward, Carlyle Hayes, Willard Bess, Melvin Bushman, and Johnny Fugate were not to be overlooked. In addition to these activities, we still have much to look forward to. I believe the ore most of us look forward to is the prom, when we play host to our Senior friends. Then, of course, there will be baseball for boys and the carrying on of the Home Ec., F. F. A., and G. A. A. Clubs by all those interested. Class officers are: Robert Von Bergen, President; Jack Morris, Vice-President; Cathryn Wink. Secretary; James Lester. Treasurer. Twenty-six The Crier � 1938 Love Robert Von Bergen, '39 There is a time in the lives of every- one, when he, or she, is inclined by a feeling toward someone else (usually another he or she). This is called love. Many people make the mistake of thinking they know love when they see it, or rather, feel it. Once they feel it. they jump into it and and therefore in love. Many books have been written on how to forget love, but none offers, anything in the way of falling in love. As I know the secret, and am of an obliging na- ture, I will endeavor to give you the steps for falling in love. First you must find someone you wish to fall in love with. After you have selected him, or her, you have fin- ished the first step. However, therein lies the trick. There is but one step in falling in love, and after you’ve taken it, you either have a turban consult your palm or read up on How to For- get Your Love.” After both of these have failed, and, although I do not en- dorse it, the proper procedure, it seems, is to jump off the Tribune Tow'er or Washington’s Monument. If this fails, a person in love will often go to ex- tremes. Rufus Brown—Single and Double Leslie Taiwan, '39 One day as Rufus rode along The Trail of Lonesome Pine, He saw a lady sweet and fair Ar.d thought that she was fine. He rode his horse up to her side, And introduced himself. She said she’d never heard of him And wished he’d behave himself. Now’ this was too advanced for him To see why she was mad. He meekly asked her to forgive And told her he was sad. She asked him what was troubling him. He told her yes-er-ee, I am so sad because I know You will not marry me. How do you know that I will not?” The maiden swiftly asked. I think that you are very nice, But, oh, you are so fast!” I’ll give you lots of time.” he said, To think it over, dear. I’ll marry you right now.” she said, Come, let's get out of here.” Who Is a Gentleman? Cathryn Wink, 39 There is a great difference of opinion as to what constitutes a gentle- man. Some consider the gentleman the man who has and wears the finest clothes. In England and much of the Old World the gentleman is the man who owns a great estate. Perhaps the most universal idea is that a gentle- man is the man who is kind, refined in manners and disposition, chivalrous, peaceable, and likeable. Some of our old aphorisms very ably illustrate these characteristics, such as: All that glitters is not gold; Fine feathers do not make fine birds; Many an honest heart beats under a ragged coat. Kipling has very ably described a gentleman: “If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue. Or walk with kings—nor lose the common touch; If neither foes nor living friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much, If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the earth, and everything that’s in it. And, what is more, you'll be a man, my son.” The Crier � 1938 Twenty-seven Unknown Heroes Betty Hirstein. ’39 Football is a game of brawn and brain, Where back field men receive the fame. They carry the ball and make the gains And the linemen get what glory remains. The Fullback hits the line with mighty thrusts. The Halfback skirts around the other teams, The Quarterback calls the plays in faultless fashion. But on the lire is where the victory leans. When the weather is cold, the players with fingers numb Go sliding through the chilling frost, Who is it opens up the way For the backs to go across? The linemen! Always the linemen! Getting the Car Harold Ward. ’39 The use of the car one night I sought To go upon a date. ’Tvvould be an easy matter, I though. How easy, I’ll now relate! The parent was at first amused, Which made me feel quite glad; But the answer made me quite confused And needless to say, quite sad. His answer was quite kind yet firm, Though he had spoiled my date, I could do naught but writhe and squirm Objections I could not make. “Too young,” he said in his stern way, “Too careless and too daring. When with your crowd you are too gay And careless in your driving.” This I could not then renounce, His reasoning was so fine. But I felt better to hear him announce, “Perhaps, my son. another time.” The Secret Is Still His Jack Morris, '39 A small middle-aged man sat in a quaint, study room, reading a note which evidently bothered him. He shifted restlessly. The man’s face was drawn, and deep lines shrouded his forehead and cheeks. His body was slim and fragile, and he was quick of movement. The paper in his hand trembled as he read again. The note had been placed under his door, but this was not the only one—no, many more had preceded it. “Why did they have to threaten him?” he thought. It was his dis- covery; no one could have it. He could call the police; but no, his secret would be told. These men were desperate, they would stop at nothing. Many others had suffered unknown tortures by the hands of these people, for this was a wild country and mobs ruled. I le would have to hide from them; they could not find him deep in the forest he knew so well. He would be safe for a while. In a few quick movements he had donned his hat and coat and, with the formula safely hidden in the wall, he hurried downstairs and out the door. With a gliding motion he shifted from one dark place to another. But wait! Someone followed! I hree sinister figures appeared in the blackness. The fleeing man screamed and dashed aside with the speed which only fear can create. I he three figures emerged on horseback from the blackness and bore down on him. With a few deft movements they stilled his tongue and mounted him on horseback. lie is carried to an old castle, long abandoned. They question him. No! The secret is his; they must never know. They place him on a platform in a torture room. His feet were tied on one chain and his arms to another. Then very slowly the chains are pulled in opposite directions. The man squeals in pain. Will he tell the secret? Never! The chains are tightened; his muscles grow tense. He screams in agony as his body parts and his heart stops beating. All is quiet. The secret formula is still his.

The Crier � 1938 Tliirtx-one Indians Marjorie Hajren '40. There was an old Indian named get-em. Who married a squaw named set-em; Their little papoose Looked just like a goose, And you’d agree if you ever met-em. This little papoose was named patch-em, Who liked to hunt bears and to catch-em; He saw one one day B U without delay Ran so fast that no one could match-em. Whoa Now! Anonymous. The pioneer led out his horse, As wild as it could be; It was a perfect gentle horse As far as he could see. He grabbed the reins and sprang aboard And then the fun commenced; The pioneer soon found out that this Was rot the horse he sensed. The man clung bravely to the horse. And judged it to be sound; As it seemed it had entirely ceased To live down on the ground. He suddenly landed with a squash And felt at ease at last. When down upon the stable spoils By force he had been cast.

T hirty-six The Crier � 1938 Fairbury, September 17 Coach Smith’s Fairbury Tartars got off to a flying start in their eight-game foot- ball schedule when they took the highly-touted Forrest eleven into camp on the local gridiron, 7-0. A 15-yard run by Albert Harris, after he had snatched a sizzling pass from Jim Tipton, provided the only touchdown of the game. George Walker annexed the extra point by a line plunge. Normal, September 24 Coach “Hap” Arends’ Normal Community pigskinners, holding an advantage in both weight and experience, spoiled Fairbury’s Corn Belt League inaugural by over- powering the Tartars, 20-7. Bob Paternoster scored Fairbury’s lone touchdown on a line plunge from the 1-yard marker, and Perry Munz kicked the added point. Fairbury, October 1 Empire township of Leroy, a former member of the C-B conference, was no match for the hard-working Tartars at Lewis field, Coach Smith’s laddybucks annihilating the visitors, 20-0. Fullback Bob Paternoster was the scoring star of the game, cross- ing the goal line for three touchdowns. Perry Munz and Jim Tipton added the extra points. Chatsworth, October 8 Ken Hummel, a one-man football team, led a stubborn Chatsworth eleven to a 6-6 tie with the Fairbury Tartars. Jim Tipton went over for the locals’ lone touch- down on a sprint around left end from the 12-yard stripe. Perry Munz failed in his attempt to kick the extra point. Fairbury, October 15 Fairbury’s lighting Tartars outplayed their traditional rival, the Dwight Trojans, gaining 125 yards to 100 by rushing and picking up nine first downs to five, but were unable to hold a 12-0 lead, which they boasted at the half. Dwight was a different team in the final two periods, racking up 13 points, which enabled them to clinch the game, 13-12. Bob Paternoster and Carlyle Hayes scored the Tartar’s touchdowns. Fairbury. October 22 Coach Smith’s gridders dropped their second consecutive Corn Bolt game to Normal University High, 18-7, being unable to successfully halt the rush of Quarter- back Major Homey. Verron Lester, on a reverse play, went over from the four-yard stripe for the Tartars’ only touchdown. John Ziegenhorn added the extra point on a line plunge. Pontiac, October 29 Fairbury journeyed to Pontiac, where they dropped their third and final Corn Belt encounter to Coach Wib Henry’s Indians, 20-0. Two fumbles and a blocked punt proved costly to the Smithmen, who never endangered Pontiac’s goal line. Ciienoa, November 4 Coach Smith’s footballers wound up their season’s schedule in a highly successful manner by trouncing George Ferree’s Chenoa Red Birds, 13-6, scoring all their points in a furious, last-quarter rally. Vernon Lester and Bob Paternoster garnered Fair- bury’s two touchdowns, and dependable Perry Munz place-kicked the additional point. Returning lettermen in football are: Rudolph Jarvis, Jim Lester, Glenn Cooper, Dewey Dernier, George Walker. Jerome Downing, Harold Ward and Carlyle Hayes.

Thirty-eight The Crier � 1938 Fairbury closed another successful season in basketball under the guidance of Coach Smith, who made good use of good material. In the Corn Belt League, Fair- bury linished second; in the Chenoa regional it finished first, but was eliminated in the first game of the sectional tournament at Pontiac. Fairbury’s team was small but fast as not one man measured 6 feet. In almost every game Fairbury came from behind to win and six of these games were won by 1 point and two games by 2 points. On next year’s team, which will also be small, will be five returning lettermen, Carlyle Hayes, James Lester, Glen Cooper, George Walker and Reuben Huber, while only Sterling Craig, Elmer Hallock and Bob Paternoster will be lost by graduation. GAME SUMMARY Odell, November 19 Jim Lester’s field goal in the last five seconds of play gave Coach Smith’s quintet a 20-19 decision over Odell in the first tiff of the season for both teams. Fairbury, November 30 Fairbury opened its home stand by taking a 23-22 verdict from the perennially strong Cornell five. Glenn Cooper and George Walker garnered 6 points apiece to lead the Tartars in scoring. Minonk, December 3 Coach Smith’s laddybucks lost their first encounter of the season to their Wood- ford county foe, 25-24. Bob Paternoster was outstanding for Fairbury. Fairbury, December 7 Art Mathieson, Trojan center, utilizing his height to a good advantage, was instru- mental in Dwight’s defeating the Smithmen, 25-17. Lester led the Fairbury boys with 9 points. Fairbury, December 10 Fairbury had little difficulty in defeating their southern neighbor, Cropsey, 33-18. Lester threaded the nets for six field goals and two free throws to lead the Tartars in scoring. Fairbury, December 14 Glen Cooper, stalwart Fairbury guard, paved the way to a 31-30 defeat of the Chenoa Red Birds when he hit the irons for five field goals and tossed in two free throws. Pontiac, December 17 The Tartars did a thrilling job of scalping the Pontiac Indians in a red hot ball game to the tune of 21-20. George Walker and Jim Lester shared scoring honors. Dwight, December 21 Art Mathieson, the gangly Dane, proved just as troublesome on his home floor as on Fairbury’s, with the result that Fairbury lost its second tilt with the Dwight Trojans, 35-21. Cooper was high scorer for the Tartars with 8 points. Chatswortii, January 4 Chatsworth caught the Tartars off their stride and administered them a 27-20 trouncing, after leading from the opening whistle. Walker hit the irons for three field goals. The Crier � 1938 Thirty-nine Fairbury, January 7 Normal Community had too much experience and height for the hard-working Tartars, and handed Coach Smith's laddybucks a lop-sided 41-25 defeat. Fairbury was tied with the Normalites at the half 19-19 but the Arendsmen rapidly drew away in the last two cantos. Normal, January 14 Fairbury won its initial Corn Belt win of the season by whipping Normal Uni- versity High, 27-20. Elmer Hallock, stellar forward, copped scoring honors with 8 points. The Tartars’ lead was never threatened. Cropsey, January 18 Cropsey gained revenge for an earlier loss by defeating Fairbury 32-24. It was Robert Paternoster’s last game, he being a ninth semester man. Bob had four per- sonals in the first two minutes of play and was put out. Cooper and Hallock shared scoring honors. Fairbury, January 26 The Tartars using excellent passing subdued the Alumni to the tune of 34-27. Jim Lester was hot and connected for 15 points. Fairbury, January 28 Odell, paced by the Hare twins, upset the Tartars’ applecart, 25-18, leading from the initial play. Carlyle Hayes looked best with 5 points. Fairbury, February 2 Fairbury ended its slump by annihilating their eastern neighbor, Forrest, 40-22. Cooper was hot at the irons, swishing the nets for 10 points. Ciienoa, February 8 Coach Smith’s boys snatched a one-point victory from Chenoa, 23-22, when they staged a desperate last-quarter rally. George Walker’s free throw with 45 seconds left to play broke a 22-22 deadlock, giving the Smithmen their well-earned victory. Fairbury, February 11 Fairbury copped its second Corn Belt League encounter by whipping a stubborn University High quintet, 26-19. Hayes held scoring honors for the Tartars with 7 points. Cornell, February 15 The Comeli-Tartar tilt was a more thrilling game than the 31-23 score would indi- cate. The score was tied until the last two minutes of play when Fairbury drew away to win. Cooper and Walker shared scoring honors. Normal, February 18 Fairbury lost an opportunity to tie for the Corn Belt conference lead when they dropped a well-played encounter to Hap” Arends’ Normal Community five, 43-21. The Tartars tried hard enough but were no match for their taller opponents. Fairbury, February 22 Minonk’s highly-touted quintet attempted to repeat their earlier victory over the Tartars but Coach Smith’s laddybucks turned back their Woodford county visitors, 26-22. Jim Lester swished the nets for 7 points. Forty The Crier � 1938 Fairbury, February 25 It took the Tartars two overtime periods to come out of a 21-21 tie and win 25-23 over the Pontiac Indians in a grudge game. Jim Lester had a total of 10 points for high scorer on Smith’s team. Chenoa, March 2 Fairbury took a one-sided game from Cooksville in the Chenoa regional tourney, 28-19. Lester racked up 8 points. Chenoa, March 3 With the score 19-17 in favor of El Paso in the Chenoa regional tourney and 1% minutes left to play, Fairbury with Glen Cooper’s help rung up 3 points to win, 20-19. Lester again led in scoring with 8 points. Chenoa, March 4 The Fairbury Tartars held U. High back for four minutes to win the Chenoa regional tournament, 30-28. It was one of the season’s best games with Glen Cooper ringing up 10 points for Fairbury. Pontiac, March 10 Fairbury was eliminated by Toluca in the initial sectional tournament game held at Pontiac. The Tartars were handicapped by lack of height. Walker swished the nets for 10 points. Seated: Lenter, Cooper. Hnllock. Runyon. Hayes. Standing: Walker. Huber. Weber, Atterberry. Sparks.

Forty-two The Crier � 1938 Thirty-three men reported to Coach Burdell Smith for baseball prac- tice this spring, and to date, with victories over Towanda, Normal, Uni- versity High and Strawn tucked under its belt, Fairbury appears to be headed for another successful season, such as in 1937, when 16 games were won and only four lost. Coach Smith is banking heavily on a pitching staff, composed of the veteran Ross Mowery, Jimmy Grubbs, Herbert Patrick and George Walker, all right-handers, and Robert Von Bergen, a southpaw with great possibilities. In encounters thus far, the Fairbury diamondeers have shown well both afield and at bat. William Freed. 175 pounds of bone and muscle, is proving to be a steadying influence behind the plate, and his good right arm has snipped off many a potential enemy run. LeRoy Huber’s long-distance drives are greatly missed. Smith's charges, however, are gradually getting their “batting eyes sharpened, and by mid-season will no doubt be poling the ball far and wide. Towanda, April 2. — Coach Burdell Smith’s Fairbury high dia- mondeers won their opening game in mid-season form here hriday after- noon, when they coasted to an easy 9-1 victory over Towanda’s nine be- hind the no-hit pitching of Herbert Patrick, who was on the mound for six innings, and Robert Von Bergen, a southpaw, who twirled the final stanza. Fairbury, April 6. — Coach Burdell Smith’s Fairbury diamondeers copped their second game of the season and first Corn Belt League encounter here Tuesday afternoon when, behind the effective pitching of Ross Mowery, they took a 4-1 verdict from University High. Normal. Strawn, April 12. — Fairbury made it three in a row here, l ues- day afternoon, when the Smithmen combed the enemy pitching for 11 blows to defeat Strawn by a 9-0 count. George Walker struck out 1 1 batsmen in five innings, and in the final two stanzas Robert on Bergen whiffed five. Fairbury, April 14. — Bombarding the enemy for 16 hits, Coach Buck Smith’s Fairbury high diamondeers had little difficulty defeating the Kempton nine here, 13-4, for their fourth consecutive win of the sea- son. Ross Mowery, who hurled five innings, allowing one hit and strip- ing out 10, was credited with his second win. Robert Von Bergen, prom- ising southpaw, pitched the last two stanzas, giving up two singles and issuing one base on balls. The Crier � 1938 Forty-three The Athletic-Community Banquet On Tuesday evening, May 3, the John Joda Post of the American Legion, the Fairbury Rotary Club, and Buccaneer Club sponsored a community athletic banquet and program in honor of the athletes of Fairbury Township High School, and the band of Fairbury Township High School.

Forty-four The Crier � 1938 Band Thirty musicians, meeting before school every morning for the first semester and three mornings per week during the second semester, make up the b. 1 . H. S. band. In spite of the difficulties attendant upon re- hearsing at this early hour, the band members have met ami rehearsed faithfully throughout the year. I heir ability has been demonstrated in the annual School Concert at the theatre, and in their uptown concert in May. On May 3 the band entertained the arrivals to the annual athletic banquet sponsored by the Rotary Club, the John Joda Post, American Legion, and the Buccaneer Club. If appetites are one of the qualities of musicians, then this band, as demonstrated at this banquet, is well on the road to success. Next year the band expects to add to its instrumentation sufficiently to be able to enter the contests and vie with the vocal department in bringing honors to the music department. First row: Lanire.

The Crier � 1938 For v-seven Boys’ Glee Club The F. T. H. S. Boys’ Glee Club this year is comprised of twenty-seven voices, all of whom have successfully met the rather rigid requirements for getting in and keep- ing in the Glee Club. While a knowledge of music helps a boy to pass entrance re- quirements, the chief requirements are a good physique ar.d an alert mind. The boys this year have demonstrated that they have both—broadcasting over WJBC, recording, and in the annual home concert given by the music department, as well as at many club meetings ar.d dinners. The boys meet twice a week throughout the school year, and those who sing in the Mixed Chorus consequently rehearse three times each week. In music as in other social activities, a certain amour t of give-and-take—teamwork—is necessary. This accounts in a large measure for the club’s success. The members all have dark green uniform sweaters with gold letters, which gives the club an attractive stage appearance. The following excerpts were among the judges’ criticisms of the Boys’ Glee Club at the district contest, at which they proved their superiority to all other glee clubs from schools of equal enrollment and from twelve counties: “Splendid tone. Tenor is especially tine. Balance is one of your points of per- fection. Group follows director particularly well. Intonation and blend very good. Tone quality lovely. Good control in dynamics. Interpretations very interesting. Attacks and releases good.’’ First row: Henning. Heins. J. Nussbuum. Franger. W. Craig, Nolan, Mr. Kortkamp, Healy, Thomas, Sutton, M. Morris. Voris. Second row: S.

Forty-eight The Crier � 1938 Operetta “The Belle of Bagdad,” an operetta in two acts, was presented by the Glee Clubs of F. T. H. S., Friday evening, October 20, in the Central Theatre. Lucille Gibb ably filled the role of leading lady, with Jack Morris playing opposite her. Solos, sup- ported by chorus work and dances, scenes of Oriental splendor, lighting effects—all combined to make the operetta a success. CHARACTERS IN ORDER OF THEIR APPEARANCE.

These three and those who were conceded first place be- cause of no competition—Velda Gerber, La Verne Martin, and John Nuss- baum—represented F. T. 11. S. at the District Contest held in Fairbury. Mr. J. Alfred Neu, the judge at this preliminary contest, was liberal in his remarks concerning the high calibre of all the contestants from our school. At the District Contest here April 23, Velda Gerber received the coveted rating of “Superior.” Two others of this group, Helen Mc- Mahon and LaVerne Martin, were given the highest rating in their event. These three participated against soloists from all over the entire state at the contest at Normal, May 6, 7. First row: Lillian Rein. Helen McMahon. Velda Gerber. Back row: Willard Bess.

Fifty The Crier � 1938 District Four Contest The Illinois School Vocal Contest for District Four held at Fairbury High School, April 22 and 23, reached a new high level in attendance and accomplishment. Forty-four schools from twelve counties, represented by 1,000 contestants, par- ticipated in the thirteen different evenis. Beginning at 8:00 Friday morning, the contest was continuous till 11:00 that night, all the boys’ medium voice solos (16), and unchanged voice solos (2), boys’ low voice solos (13), the girls’ ensembles (18), boys’ ensembles (14,) and mixed en- sembles (10), singing that day. Mr. LeRoy Hamp, Miss Velma Kitchell, both of the University of Illinois School of Music, and Rev. Fr. Loughran, of St. Viator, acted as judges that first day of the contest. On Saturday it was necessary to use two contest centers—the gymnasium and the high school auditorium. Girls’ high voice, Girls’ Glee Club Class C, Girls’ Glee Club Class B, Girls’ low voice, and Girls’ Glee Club Class CC were the events sched- uled in the auditorium. In the gymnasium, Girls’ medium voice. Boys’ Glee Club Class CC, Mixed Chorus Class CC, Boys’ high voice, Boys’ Glee Club Class C (Fair- bury’s class, school enrollment up to 250), and Mixed Chorus Class C were rated by the judges.

The Future Farmers of America lost some of their members last year but they have set just as good a pace as before. Twenty-one boys carried eighteen livestock and seven corn projects. The otlicers for the year were: President, Harold Wilken; Vice-President, Ross Mowery; Treasurer, Reuben Huber; Secretary, La Verne Martin; Reporter, William Freed. Much work has been accomplished by the club. Four members competed in the corn husking contest sponsored by the chapter. Several of the boys accompanied by Mr. Hamman, their sponsor, toured the stockyards during the International in Chicago. There are several teams in the club. Namely: the corn team—Eddie Orth, Reu- ben Huber, William Freed, and Ross Hildreth as alternate; the grain team—Wayne Russell, Thomas Glennon, and Ivan Johnson; the poultry team Verne Saunders, Berle Ricketts, LaVerne Martin, and Billy Bartlett as alternate; and the milk team— William Freed, Glen Wilken, and Ross Hildreth. The boys participated in a Jamboree held in Chenoa on April 21, and the results were: Heavyweight wrestling—Harold Wilken, 1st; Pingpong—single—William Freed 2nd, double, William Freed and Ivan Johnson, 1st; free throw—Reuben Huber and Ross Hildreth, 3rd! volleyball—LaVerne Martin, William Freed, Reuben Huber, Glen Wilken, Thomas Glennon, and Ross Mowery, 2nd; shuttle relay—Wayne Russel, Fred Householder, Irvin Kaisner, Arnold Tammen, Ross Mowery, Merle Ricketts, Glen Wilken, Billy Bartlett, 3rd. ..

Miss Whitford The delicate odor of cookies and cakes and the whir of sewing machines greets you as you come up the steps of F. T. H. S. Yes, sir, its the home economics depart- ment busy at work. The club was organized by Miss Whitford, and is composed of girls taking the course in home economics. They hold social and business meetings on the third Thurdsay of every month. The club year was started off with a wiener roast, at which time the new members were initiated and the following officers were elected: President, Jean Craig; Vice-President, Catherine Yeagle; Secretary, Martha Steers, and Treasurer, Thelma Zimmerman. The home economics girls helped serve at the Halloween Carnival. Thanks- giving rolled around and the club did its part in celebrating. Santa Claus made his visit the following month and an exchange of gifts was carried out in the club. In January, they were entertained with a movie and Valentines Day was celebrated dur- ing the noonday meeting. The girls very willingly helped the F. F. A. boys with their annual Father and Son banquet. On Saturday, April 23, a group of club mem- bers journeyed to Normal, Illinois, where they were entertained by the Illinois State Normal University Home Economics Department. This helpful, willing group of domestic-minded girls is a very valuable asset to the school. They always lend their capable hands and services to every occasion, serving banquets and giving their aid in making oraperies, costumes, etc. Long may the Home Economics Club live! Fifty-four The Crier � 1938 G. A. A. In the year 1936 a group of girls started on the road to higher ideals through organized athletics and better health standards. It did not take long to realize to the fullest extent the need of team- work among the girls, and soon under their supervision a number of athletic contests were held. This year the G. A. A. was hostess at Play Day for visiting schools on October 23. Baseball, volleyball, and recreational games were played. A delicious luncheon was served followed by group meetings. “Play the game!” Our motto applies not only to the field of ath- letics but to any event in our daily lives. But this is only a start. With the ideals that are woven into our code like a bright starred night, re- minding us of the higher things we are striving to perform, we are for- ever making our way on the road to success. Watch the G. A. A. grow. Its seed has been planted in the fertile soil of teamwork and sportsmanship, and with care it will become a mighty organization. We are now throwing on the goal of light — healthful living—at the fullest, highest, and noblest degree. President ....................... Helen Beckley Vice-President .......

The Crier � 1938 Fifty-jive Commercial Teams Students taking commercial courses have taken a great deal of interest in con- test work. Of course, everyone could not take part in the contest, but those not participating have helped willingly on outside activities. For example, much splendid work was done during the Music Contest, the students acting as secretaries to the judges. Also the commercial pupils type the school news for each of the local papers, helped type P.-T. A. programs and F. F. A. banquet menus. The following teams composed the entries in the Chenoa Invitational Contest and the District Commercial Contest. TYPING II Marian Ramsey. Louise Tipton. Virginia Schlicher. TYPING I Ada Mae Kerr. Barbara Foster. Betty Hirstein. 100-WORD SHORTHAND Martha Steels. Louise Tipton. Jean Craig. The Typing I team placed first at the District Contest held at Chenoa.

Soft lights were used to create a romantic atmosphere. The decora- tions for the tables set for four were very effective in carrying out the theme. Small individual favors and candles were placed on each table. The colors of the Senior Class of 1938, blue and silver, added the finish- ing touches to the setting of the Club and the softness of the atmosphere. 1 he floor show with Robert Von Bergen acting as Master of Cere- monies consisted of the following: Welcome .........................................

Fifty-eight The Crier � 1938 fCATLCEf Appreciation The students of Fairbury Township High School wish to thank those merchants of Fairbury whose many purchases of advertising space in this yearbook have made its publication possible.

Here’s ago, Fortibus es in aro. Noces, Mari, Thebi trux Vatis in em pax a dux.” After weeks of effort, the student came forth with the following. It is not surprising that the instructor read it to the class: “I say, Billi, here’s a go, Forty busses in a row.” “No,” says Mary, “they be trucks.” “What’s in ’em?” “Packs o’ ducks.” Being told to write an essay on the mule, a small boy turned in to his teacher the following effort: “The mewl is a hardier bird than the guse or tur- kie. It has two legs to walk with, two more to kick with and wears its wings on the side of its head. It is stubbornly backward about going for- ward.” It was Lloyd’s first day at school. He walked up to the teacher’s desk and announced: “I ain’t got no pencil.” Shocked at his expression, the teach- er exclaimed, “Oh, Lloyd. I have no pencil.” A sympathetic look crossed the small boy’s face, and he replied. “You ain’t either? Well, we’re both in the same fix.” One day as Dick A. was visiting an insane asylum he saw a man fishing over a flower bed.
