The Students of Fairbury Township High School Present THE CRIER Published by The Class of 1940 Supervised by A. C. Watsoi FOREWORD DEED, an action, or practi cally anything without a pur- pose is valueless. That is why we have a direct purpose or aim in mind with the sixth publication of the Fairbury Township High School Crier. We hope that in future years, this hook will not only recall experiences of every type, but by chance, perhaps cause those who read it to realize the basis of their success in life. And if, in time to come, this Crier is vivid enough to prompt that realization, the students of F. T. H. S. will not have failed in their purpose behind the pub- lication of this yearbook. CHARLINE BECKLEY Two Editor-in-Chief DEDICATION E, the students of the Fair- hury Township High School, dedicate the 1940 Crier to the Community of Fairbury. Without the help and interest of many lo- cal people, the production of this book, as well as many of our other accomplishments, would be impossible. We students form a vital, mov- ing part of the community. With our ambitions and ideals, and your sincere regard for our efforts, we strive to make the community a better place in which to live. And so to you, who will find in this book a memory of your high school days; to you, who have ac- tually lived the pages of this book; and to you, who in future years will become a part of these year- books; we dedicate this Crier of 1940. Three Four Five CONTENTS ADMINISTRATION CLASSES ACTIVITIES FEATURES ADMINISTRATION Seieii A. C. Watson University of Illinois M. S. PR INCI PA I :s G REETING Seniors: You have arrived at a cherished goal, that of graduation from the Fairbury Township High School. Graduation will, without a doubt, bring a bit of sorrow to your hearts because it will sever many ties which have been so dear to you. T his sadness will soon pass, however, and you will be confronted with the greatest and most important prob- lem in your life’s program, that of finding your place in the life of this or some other community. Your adaptation to this program will be relatively easy if you follow that one big policy which has so often been stressed during your high school career. This policy has a twofold application, namely, coopera- tion, and responsibility. Assume your responsibility and cooperate with your fellowmen and you will be started on the road to success. Give the best that you have and the community will be a better place in which to live because you have made it so. Eight PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF 1940 We, as a community, are deeply interested in you as a graduating class and as individuals ready to take a very important place in society. We have done our best to provide you an excellent elementary and sec- ondary school system whereby you have received training for this great venture which you are now starting. We are proud of your many accom- plishments because we feel they are the experiences which mold the type of characters that are so necessary and essential to today’s living. As you go through life, may we ever be reminded of your accom- plishments and character training, by your works and deeds performed. Let the performance exemplify your ideals, habits, and relationships to your community. Nine Roy C. Hamvian Lincoln College University of Illinois B. S.

They were, namely, Charline Beckley, Bernard Carlson, Valerie Fultz, Velda Gerber, Marjorie Hagen, Marian Henning, Reuben Huber, 1 lelcn McMahon, Mary Nance, Wilma Schmidt, Agnes Steers, Harryette Werling and John Zie- genhorn. I he fall of 1936 found us en- tering E. r. 11. S. Our class had lost many members and gained many more. There were 59 stu- dents entering high school, over half of them from the country. I he freshman year was a period of adjustment, but we took an ac- tive part in school activities. As sophomores we looked down with haughty disdain upon the freshmen. We lost several mem- bers during the freshman year and gained only one, Peggy Good- win. There were 45 members in our class. We took a more active part in school activities. Our class was very musically in- clined, taking an active part in the operetta, glee clubs, and solo events. We also were well repre- sented in football, basketball, and baseball. When we became juniors, we felt that we had reached the best year of our school life. We now definitely belonged to the “upper- classmen,” but we were not yet bothered with the senior troubles of rings, invitations, and gradua- tion. Bernice Compton, Imogene Ferguson, Patrick Flanagan, and Charles Rice were now members of our class. We were very proud to help win acclaim for our school by winning four superiors at the National Music Contest held in Anderson, Indiana. The trip it- self was something long to be re- membered by the students. We were also active in sports and va- rious clubs. Several members of the cast of the all-school play, “Big-Hearted Herbert,” were from the junior class. Our com- mercial students helped win first place in the district contest. The junior play, “It Pays to Adver- tise,” was a successful event, al- though it demanded long hours of work. The climaxing event of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom, held in a Japanese garden. Class officers were: President, Reuben Huber; Vice-President, Dorothy Yoder; Secretary, Helen McMahon; Treasurer, John Zie- genhorn. And now we have reached the top rung of the ladder and as sen- iors, are looking forward to the time of graduation. We have taken part in many activities this year, and are looking forward to the ones still remaining before us. Sixteen The following represented us in the music department: Band: Vincent Ambrose, War- ren Craig, Ross Hildreth, La- Verne Martin, Edith Robinson, Wilma Schmidt, and Harryette Werling. Girls’ G1 ce Club: C h a r 1 i n e Beckley, Helen Craig, Velda Ger- ber, Marjorie Hagen, Helen Mc- Mahon, Edith Robinson, Harry- ette Werling, and Dorothy Yoder. Boys’ Glee Club: Vincent Am- brose, Ross Hildreth, Warren Craig, LaVerne Martin, Fred Householder. We were well represented in sports. Football: Dewey Dernier (cap- tain), George Walker, Reuben Huber, John Ziegenhorn (trophy winner). Basketball: Reuben Huber (captain), George Walker (tro- phy winner), Dewey Dernier, Charles Rice. Baseball: George Walker, Reu- ben Huber, William Freed, Dew- ey Dernier, Forrest Landsman, Francis Nolan, Jakie Peter. We were well represented in all other school organizations. From our class came the football and basketball captains, trophy win- ners, a majorette, the cheerlead- ers, members of the orchestra, and all but one of the soloists. One of our outstanding accom- plishments is this student Crier of 1940. We are looking anxious- ly forward to the production of our class play, “One Stormy Night,” and in aiding the glee clubs to still greater achievement this year. The climaxing events will be the Junior-Senior Prom, the Alumni reception, and, of course, Commencement. Our class officers are: Presi- dent, Dewey Dernier; Vice-Presi- dent, Reuben Huber; Secretary, Rosella Von Bergen; Treasurer, Velda Gerber. And now as the time draws nearer, when we shall walk across the platform and receive our di- plomas, we are inclined to think back over our four years spent at this institution. They have, in- deed, been happy years. We have met people with new and varied interests, and most of us have formed lifelong friendships among our classmates. Some of us will now take our place in the world, while others will go on to higher educational institutions. But for all of us, the time spent here at F. T. H. S. has been a wise in- vestment. We have developed our interests along various scholastic and social lines, that have made us better fitted to cope with future situations. We are certain that in the years to come the knowledge that we have gained here, and the memories of F. T. H. S. will be a valuable and cherished part of our lives. Seventeen SENIOR WILL WE, the seniors of Fairbury Township High school, of the city of Fairbury, State of Illinois, being of sound mind and memory, and desiring to impart to our un- der-classmen, the formula of our achievements, do hereby make and declare this our last will and tes- tament : I, Vincent Ambrose, leave my staid and stately manner on the dance floor, to that one, hand- some jitterbug, George Thomas. I, Charline Beckley, leave all spare time to that industrious sophomore, Floyd Masters. I, W arren Beckley, most cer- tainly do not leave to E. B. Ram- sey, the supervision of Mary Fuller. I, Ileene Bunting, wish to leave my pleasing manner of speech to Frances Rathhun. I, Bernard Carlson, will my deep interest in scientific phenom- ena to one of the same mental characteristics, Robert V'. Vance. I, Bernice Compton, desire to leave nothing, since George Walk- er is coming along with me—since Ella has everything. I, Helen Craig, will to Joan Milne, my title of “school nui- sance,” in hopes she may continue in my footsteps. I, Warren Craig, do hereby be- queath to the masculine Jay Mor- ris, my ability of growing a heavy beard in less than two weeks. I, Dewey Dernier, leave to Mellroy Ross, access to buv lum- ber on credit, which he will cer- tainly need if Charline Beckley continues building submarines. v I, Francis Fosdick, hereby leave my extraordinary ability of grad- uating in four years to the unstu- dious Marilu Steinberg. I, Ray Ellis, leave my acting ability to the unemotional Rose- mary Ramseyer. I, Imogene Ferguson, bequeath my ability to get my typing bud- gets in on time to Jeane Gibb. I, Patrick Martin Flanagan, will my knack of getting to school on time to Bernice Bills. I, William Ralph Freed, do hereby bequeath my timidness when in the presence of teachers to the haughty and boisterous N'ola Huber. I, Valerie Fultz, do not leave anything, but do direly wish that someone would leave me a credit in English IV. I, Velda Gerber, willingly leave the institution, since with all my man-trouble I have no more time for school studies or activities. I, Thomas Glennon, leave my blushing technique to the bashful and courteous Marilyn Sheppard. I, Peggy Goodwin, will to Jane Spence, my feminine technique in hope that she, too, may “snag” a ring before graduation. I, Marjorie (Sill) Hagen, take my giggle, glamour and boldness with me, since I certainly will need them in later life. I, Marian Henning, having gone through high school without a single calling down, leave, with the hope that Hugh and Dorothy may carry on the distinctive fam- ily tradition. I. Ross Fiugene Hildreth, leave my mother’s influence with me, in all things to the timid, reserved Vivian McHatton. I, Fred “Speckles” House- holder, leave my woman troubles, my nicknames and finally, my dim, dirk past, to the delicate Pearl Weisser, in the hope that I may face the world with a clean slate. I, Reuben Huber, wish to will to Kathleen Wilborn, my lengthy basketball shorts so that she might Eighteen wear them when in search of a new spring skirt. I, Helen Jefferson, leave my overflowing love for Roy C. Ham- man, to one in my same capacity, Margie Schnetzler. I, Forrest Landsman, leave my masculine stride to Sara Mullan- ey, since she needs something add- ed to or detracted from her newly acquired stepping. I, Glen Lewis, wish to leave to Maxine Lange, my revoked dri- ver’s license, for if Maxine car- ries on as she has she'll need two or three. I, LaVerne Martin, leave to I lerschel Leffingwell my position as No. 1 T enor in the glee club, since Hersch always manages to hit the right notes at the right time. I, Helen McMahon, leave my “line” to the plotting, scheming, Marie Filers. I, Jean Mowery, bequeath to Anna Margaret the privilege of keeping alive the Mowry family interests and name. I, Mary Ann Munz, leave my pessimistic nature to the frivolous and voluptuous Florence Sutter. I, Mary Nance, leave to my sister Charlotte, the happy smile and unfailing joviality which I have sustained, even after four years of schooling, in which I atin and History were unavoidable barriers. I, Francis Nolan, leave my bookkeeping accounts to Mr. Wat- son, since after finding variations between Francis’ figures and the authoritative textbooks, Mr. Wat- son decided to consider Francis’ answers, completely and officially correct. I, Jake Peter, bequeath to I eon Knopp, my many spitoons, since Leon insists on chewing Beechnut in many places, where spitoons are considered definitely out of style. I, Charles Rice, leave my “devil may care” attitude, to one deeply concerned with grades, studies, and the like, Junior Ferguson. I, Edith Robinson, bequeath my ability in getting five A’s to one worthy of the honor, Maurice Johnson. I, Emma Schmidt, leave to the amiable Mona Waples, my catty attitude toward other students. I, Wilma Schmidt, leave my artistic hair coiffeurs to the poorly styled Maxine Lange. I, Agnes Steers, leave my de- cided love for Bill Freed, to Miss Kemple, since without absolute and genuine devotion William is unbearable. I, Christine Strode, after much deliberating, genuinely desire to leave Patrick Flanagan, since Harold has proven faithful, to the end???? I, Rosella Von Bergen, be- queath to the intellectual Charles Heins, my lack of gray matter. I, George Walker, will to the athletic Eddie I ometti, my love for studies, and music. I, Harryette Werling, leave mv jitterbug antics to the syncopated Betty Hildreth. I, Helen Wilson, will my red hair to Janet Moore since she seems most concerned with the shade of her tresses. I, Irene Woodard, leave to Lil- lian my knack of long recitation in History. I, Dorothy Yoder, leave to any- one who dares take it, my unfor- tunate ability of being the butt of Smith's failing puns. I, John Ziegenhorn, being last but not least, do hereby bequeath, will ?nd leave the dead silence of the assembly to the teachers, since without me next year they will be greatly—relieved. Nineteen Dedicated to Ivan Kortkamp It was about four years ago that I first met him. If I remember right he looks about the same—that moustache and a dark suit. I think I liked him from the start; I know I have ever since. I was im- pressed — I guess he must have had something there. He was one of the fellows in the glee club room and I sup- pose he knew what we felt, at least that’s what I’ve always presumed. I can truthfully say that I’ve never ap- preciated anyone so much, in times since or before. We worked — I’ll say we worked; and we won and we can prove it! Every year we won more — don’t get us wrong; I’m not bragging. We had fun and it was fun. but we respect him the more for his broad-minded ap- preciation of our pranks and our whims. I!e is a friend and an example of friend- ship to all, and a pal of all students who have use for a pal. Of the few of us that are left that have known him so long, I’m one among many who can think him no wrong. VINCENT AMBROSE. The Tale of the Terrible Typist All black and shiny my typewriter sits. But I could grind the thing to bits. While others gain in speed, my friends, I gain in errors by the tens. To some it’s plain as plain can be, But to me it is a mystery: How to make your fingers move And hit the letters in the groove. I try to tabulate, you know— And make it even in a row. But something usually goes amiss, And then, oh, dear, it looks like this! In making errors I take the prize, I get mixed up on “e’s” and “i’s.” It makes no difference: words short or long, Experience has taught me they can be wrong. So how in the world will I ever make A very competent secretary, for pity’s sake, Won’t someone make QWERTYUIOP Something more than Greek to me? V. FULTZ. Dear Wilma: I have just spent a most pleasant af- ternoon looking through my old 1940 Crier. Remember that year—we were seniors—and the book was a product of our class. It was a wonderful year, so unlike the first year we spent at old F. T. H. S. We held a lofty place that we had never before attained, and I am sure that we have not been such rulers since. For three long years we had eagerly awaited the time when we would be seniors. But once that time arrived, my, how the year sped by. Remember the day our rings came—it practically broke us up paying for them; but, oh, were we proud to wear them! And then we had our pictures taken. We thought they were simply awful then, but now I find mine was quite good. Almost before we knew it, semester exams rolled around, and the year was half over. How worried we were that Smith would flunk us in history. And if it was possible, it seemed that the last part of the year went even faster than the first. How we worked on The Crier. Then came the finals— wo sat up all night cramming history, with no results, except we were all too sleepy to write what little we did know. Then all the hubbub of Prom and Alum- ni. And last of all, Commencement. How important we felt in our caps and gowns, and yet we were a little sad to think it was the end. When you heard Mr. Watson call your name and you walked up there and got that all-im- portant diploma, you wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. And then it was all over. Many times during the past ten years I’ve wished to be back at F. T. H. S. It certainly was the best year of my life. Love, VALERIE. A Dirge Here am I. without a doubt The smartest girl the school’s turned out! I can cook and giggle and eat and play, I can dance and laugh. I’m plenty OK— There’s just one thing that lacks, I guess, That God in his goodness forgot to bless Me with brains for shorthand, typing and stuff. In plain simple English I'm just one big bluff. CHATZ BECKLEY. Twenty History Dirge I work on history every day In just the hardest sort of way; But when my grades come out, you see, I find I’ve only got a D. Now why this is I do not know— The reason that my grades are low. Unless it is that I’m too young To remember when the wars begun. Or when the Constitution was made. Or how its principles were laid. The “Open Door’’ is Greek to me. No wonder that my grades are D. Now when my next report comes out, There’ll be another D. no doubt. And so I'll end this silly rhyme, Hoping to find an A some time. ROSELLA VON BERGEN. Utopia Ten lonely teachers sitting in a row. All of them wishing for some place to go. Along comes Chenoa. dressed up so fine, One goes away, and now there are nine. Nine lonely teachers, one just can’t wait— Hears his children crying—now there are eight. Eight lonely teachers, one thinks she’s in heaven; Along comes the minister, and now there are seven. Seven lonely teachers—a big blast of air— Where there were seven, now only six are there. Six lonely teachers, but hear that blast of jive; One trucks off playing trumpet, and now there are five. Five lonely teachers, along comes poor Romeo; She plays his Juliet, and now we have but four. Four lonely teachers, one cooks a luscious lunch; “A man’s heart is in his stomach,” so only three are in the bunch. Three lonely teachers, but that will never do. So along comes a gas station boy, and now there are but two. Two lonely teachers, they think the other fine; And so he asks to take her out somewhere to dine. And now that they are gone we kids can have some fun; For instead of ten teachers, we don’t have a single one. A SENIOR. T wetity-otte On Anything The Three of Us “Write me a poem,” said Chatz to me. “On what?” said I to her. “On anything,” she said to me. So, on “anything” it will be. Now “anything” covers a lot of space, And space for me is confined. So what can I write of Anything, When nothing comes to my mind? Brooms and dustpans, pencils and pens, Books, and desks, and rules Are all classed under “anything”; And how am I to choose? Seven words in a hat; I draw one. Aha! It is “school,” my good man. But you know all about school I’m sure. So I’ll stop here—where I began. EDITH ROBINSON. Say, students, don’t you think it’s wrong. It seems that way to me. That in this Crier we seldom mention A most important three. There’s one who’s always up at four To fix the fires on chilly days. It really seems that Mr. Bastion Deserves the student’s praise. Then Dewey cleans with brush and broom, (He also plays good basketball). He never tells the students’ tricks For he’s a right good friend to all. And don’t forget “Efficiency.” Miss Steidinger’s work would knock me dead. But without all the work she does The school would end up in the red. To Future Students When orders are given, always obey, Although the rules are tough, Agree to th5ngs with a willing “OK,” ’Cause out here you can’t bluff. If Smith says, “Around the field ten times,” Around you’d better go; For when athletes are kicked off the team It brings the school much woe. And the time to really sit up and take heed, Is when Kortkamp’s bark you hear— For he means business with you kids, “So trot to bed—“You little dear.” ROSS E. HILDRETH.

Twenty-four CLASS PROPHECY As the gates of Hell swing open, a burst of flame flashes forth, and in walks Forrest Landsman, a member of the 1940 senior class from F. T. H. S. To Ileene Bunting, Satan's wife, he remarks: “So this is Hell, eh?” Ileene: “Well, good evening, Forrest. What are you doing here, and in your prime of life?” Forrest: “I’m down looking for a job with prospects of advancement.” Ileene: “Come on down and meet our foreman. Reuben Huber. He’s shovel- ing coal on head furnace No. 1.” Huber: “Well, fan my brow if it isn’t Forrest Landsman. Fancy meeting you here. Small world, isn’t it? What hap- pened to you?” Forrest: “Oh, I fell off a merry-go- round and dislocated my thumb. The shock that I got from my injuries was too much for me, and this is where I ended up. Say, what have you got un- der your arm there?” Huber: “This, why this is my Dooms- day Book. I keep the names of every- body in there. Did you meet any of the mob on the way here?” Forrest: “Sure did Passed Marian Henning on the way down.” Huber: “You did? What happened to her?” Forrest: “The trap broke while she was cleaning the outside of the windows on the top floor of the Empire State Building?” Huber: “I bet that’s the nearest she will ever be to heaven.” Forrest: “Say, she was one of the members of my graduating class. Let’s see that book anyway. Ole Timer.” Huber: “Sure thing; here, have a seat since you’re going to be with us for quite a spell.” Forrest: “Here’s an ol’ friend of ours, recognize him?” Huber: “Yep, Bernard Carlson, good old Barney. What’s he doing?” Forrest: “Barney, oh he’s put into into operation a self-sustaining cat and rat ranch, where one sells the skins of the cats, feeds the rats on cats’ car- casses and the rats to the cats.” Huber: “Barney was a little eccen- tric. Isn’t that Edith Robinson’s pic- ture there in the corner?” Forrest: “Uh huh, I was quite sur- prised at Edith. She took the role of Tarzanna in the Jungles, but tiring of this wild life she took up teaching kin- dergarten. She once remarked, ’It’s surprising how much one learns from one’s work.’ ” Forrest: “Where’s Warren Craig’s smiling countenance?” Huber: “On page 23, second row, 8th person No. 31405 in series (T.) What’s Warren engaged in now, anyway?” Forrest: “Warren’s a soap box orator teaching nutizism in Bartonville. By the way, have you seen Helen Jeffer- son’s latest picture, ‘Go Peel a Grape’? She is known as Two Gun Sadie in the movies.” Huber: “She and Gerber didn’t reach a snag in their friendship, did they?” Forrest: “Shucks, no' Velda is a dime a dance girl in Betz’s cafe. She’s nearlv as good as Dewey Dernier. He bought a bucket and established a curb service on corner of State and Madison in Chi- cago. Last time I saw him he told me business was booming.” Huber: “Gee, I’m really surprised at Velda. I figgered she would be a per- manent assistant embalmer for an un- dertaker in Pontiac; still, though, she was quite interested in farming and all the things that go with it.” Forrest: “I saw in the Blade where Warren Beckley, an enterprising under- taker, was jailed recently for changing the labels on Dr. Ambrose’s medicine bottles.” Huber: “That’s a profitable business for me. Who is this Ambrose bloke, anyhow ?” Forrest: “Dr. Ambrose? Why, he’s a surgeon, and a hopeless one at that. It seems that he tried to separate a pair of Siamese twins. He separated them okay but he forgot to put on a patch and as a result they are in constant fear of dropping something.” Huber: “Before I forget about it, did Helen Craig get the divorce from her husband, Mickey Bartholomew?” Forrest: “She and Christine Strode competed in a contest on who can get the most divorces in the shortest time. Christine’s had seven victims to Helen’s five. I guess Christine maintains gentle- men prefer blondes, but Helen main- tains ‘Who wants a gentleman?’” Forrest: “Ha, ha, ha, here’s our old side-kick. Bill Freed. I’d sure like to see Bill again.” Huber: “He’s due here any day now.” Forrest: “Did you hear about what happened to him?” Huber: “No, what?” T went y-five Forrest: “Bill, who is champion hog caller of the world, became the proud father of a bouncing baby boy, but his heart is broken; not because the baby won’t bounce, but because his mouth isn’t shaped right for hog calling.’’ Huber: “Oh, goody, my old heart throb, Chatz Beckley.” Forrest: “Schatz was a snake charmer for the Century Circus owned by Charles Rice and Francis Fosdick. But alas, she was bitten by one of the snakes, prob- ably Charles Rice. She is at death’s door, and ‘Doc’ Ambrose thinks he can pull her through.” Huber: “Well, I hope ‘Doc’ does it. We can use all the help down here we can get.” Forrest: “Being down here in Hell, I suppose you don’t know anything about psydhology. Well, here is something for you: Dorothy Yoder, famed woman psychologist, has advanced the startling statement that if people don’t send their children to school, they will be unedu- cated men and women when they grow up.” Huber: “Speaking of uneducated men what do you hear of Fred Householder?” Forrest: “The last report I heard, he swore he would graduate this year, girls or no girls. Undoubtedly when he finishes he will join the Foreign Le- gion.” Huber: “Why the Foreign Legion?” Forrest: “Well, wouldn’t you if glam- our girl, Valerie Fultz, with her two Desert Raiders, Agnes Steers and Bor- nice Compton, were commanding the outfit there? Mentioning glamour girls reminds me. Mary Nance has just had an expensive coming-out party, estimat- ed at $100,000.” Huber: “What is a coming-out party?” Forrest: “It’s a little dress that isn’t there. Not changing the subject any, but did you see any signal flares the other night?” Huber: “They have been seen repeat- edly from Mars. Why?” Forrest: “Well, Jakie Peter, explorer for the United States Scientific Research organization, flew his rocket plan' to the planet Mars to seek alposterenistic organisms. He cabled back that in the excitement of his great voyage he took a supply of four dozen parachutes in- stead of four dozen rockets with which to return home. He’s never been heard of since.” Huber: “Who’s that hefty looking fel- low right there in the middle of the page?” Forrest: “That’s Pat Flanagan. He’s a current sensation among dancing cir- cles, has been starred in ‘Elevated Arches,' or ‘Kick Up Them Heels.’ At any rate, he does the Hoola Hoola in his best form. He had Fred Astaire worried but LaVerne Martin, famed me- chanic, came to Fred’s rescue with a super-charging job that increased his speed fifty per cent.” Huber: “Is LaVerne Martin an in- ventor now?” Forrest: “Yes, Martin claims he can super-charge anything from an ostrich egg to a Shakespearean play, the latter being the harder.” Huber: “Say, did Helen Wilson get to take that trip around the world that she always wanted to make?” Forrest: “Well, not exactly. She and Jean Mowry went on a European tour and were drafted into Hitler’s women army. They wrote home that they would be back after the next war, though.” Huber: “Sounds a bit optimistic if you ask me.” Forrest: “Talk about people being op- timistic, you couldn’t beat Ross Hil- dreth. You recall how he used to break the occasional silence of the assembly with a violent and audible rush of air through his mouth and nostrils caused by a sudden and brief spasm of the breathing organs, or in other words, a sneeze? Well, he invented a muffler that serves turkish towels with the showers.” Huber: “Ah, a genius in the crowd.” Forrest: “But can you imagine this! Rosella Von Bergen is a saleslady in Africa. She is selling lipstick to natives in the country of Ubangi, land of the big-lipped women.” Huber: “Heaven help her if she brings any of those dames’ fancy ideas on ‘How to Be Glamorous’ back to the U. S. A. Hold on to your garters though, didn’t you just pass up George Walker’s pic- ture?” Forrest: “Gosh, I forgot he was in our class. It’s been so long since I heard from him. Bet you could’nt guess what Georgie was adoing to occupy his spare time.” Huber: “What?” Forrest: “George established a man on the street program in Venice, Italy. He said that of every one hundred lis- teners on his program, ninety-nine and a half were women.” Huber: “He must have become quite a ladies’ man.” Twenty-six Forrest: “Well, I’ve seen people who have been worse off than he.’’ Huber: “Remember that girl? What’s she doing now?’’ Forrest: “You mean Mary Ann Munz? Why, didn’t you know, she’s cheerleader for Notre Dame. They tell me that she can really make the student body yell.” Huber: “I guess Mary Ann surprised us!” Forrest: “Remember that boy, Hube?” Huber: “Yes, Francis Nolan. What’s he doing now, anyway?” Forrest: “He owns and operates a ‘Wimpy’ hamburger stand in Weston. He said his earning totals to about ump- teen cents a week.” Huber: “What have you heard from the Schmidt girls lately?” Forrest: “You know how everyone is rushed on Saturdays and holidays?” Huber: “Yes, what about it?” Forrest: “Well, they have started a cash and carry association. If you have any large sum of cash, and are afraid of losing it, give it to them and they will carry it for you. Wilma made the remark that it isn’t the kind of a job that a person gets poor on.” Huber: “Say, hasn’t the love-bug bit- ten any of our old classmates yet?” Forrest: “Yes, he’s worked on Harry- ette Werling. She married an aviator, and was doing performances over Boul- der Dam on a trapeze that hangs from the undercarriage of the airplane. But you know, Hube, that every chain has a weak link. Well, Harryette made a pretty good dent in Boulder Dam.” Huber: “I hope that he does better than ‘John Dillinger” did, or he’s liable 1o lind himself working on the rock pile.” Forrest: “I bet Johnny Ziegenhorn wishes working on a rock pile was his sentence. He put a thumb tack under Miss Sharp and was sent to the electric chair.” Huber: “I don’t get the point.” Forrest: “Well, Miss Sharp suffered severely from the effects of the shock, axid I’ll bet you can’t guess who pressed the button when Johnny was in the chair. Tommy Glennon.” Huber: “I didn’t think our old pal Tommy would let him down like that.” Forrest: “Oh, that’s all right. Tommy pressed the wrong button and Johnny’s soul reached the pearly gates in time for the passing out of the harps and wings. Have you heard about Marjorie Hagen ?” Huber: “No, what’s she doing now?” Forrest: “She’s working in a tele- phone exchange.” Huber: “Telephone exchange? Never heard of it.” Forrest: “Well, it’s one of those places where you exchange slug for slug. When you get a slug that won’t fit the slot in the telephone, take it to her and she will exchange it for one that will.” Huber: “Didn’t any of the seniors turn out to be honest?” Forrest: “You bet your boots. I’m proud to say that Helen McMahon is a social worker in the slums in Nome. Alaska.” Huber: “Bony always was kind of chicken-hearted, I guess.” Forrest: “Here’s someone I haven’t seen for an awful long time.” Huber: “You mean Peggy Goodwin? I haven’t heard anything from her since graduation. Where’s she hide out?” Forrest: “Can you imagine! The very minute that Prof, handed her her di- ploma she dashed out of the theatre, over to the city hall just in time for the judge to pronounce man and wife. Huber: “What won’t they think of next!” Forrest: “What won’t they? You knew Raymond Ellis, didn’t you?” Huber: “Yes, what about him?” Forrest: “He bought five trained rats, rnd now he’s a jester in Hitler’s court. He entertains by having rat races. Ray- mond said that Hitler enjoys his rats very much. But what more can you expect as one rat to another?” Huber: Mentioning rats brings to my mind a close subject, cheese. I heard that Imogene Ferguson is working in a cheese factory.” Forrest: “Well, not exactly in the fac- tory end of it. She’s been working as secretary of the Limburger Cheese Asso- ciation at Limburg, Illinois.” Huber: “Any more familiar faces on that page?” Forrest: “Here’s the last one that I recognize, that of Irene Woodard. She writes editorials for ‘Esquire.’ A very popular magazine, ‘Esquire. There’s chance for a good advancement.” Huber: “You’d better stop gabbing and advance on Furnace No. 5, because here comes the boss and does he look burned up. You had better get busy or he’ll make it hot for you.” Twenty-seven CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1937, seventy freshmen gathered in the assembly of the Fair- bury Township High School to continue their education. Upon entering school neither the boys nor the girls had the advantage, be- cause there were exactly 35 boys and 35 girls. During the first year some of us par- ticipated in sports, band, and the glee clubs, while others were active in F. F. A. and Home Ec. club. During the year, our class decreased by the loss of Mary Jean Grubbs, Verne Sanders, and Donald Watts. After a short vacation, we returned as sophomores. During the year the following were represented in the differ- ent activities: Football: Chester Powell, Ivan Fos- dick, Dick Gouge, Carter Mardis, Merle Ricketts, Oval Vernia, Clarence New- man, William Weber, and Glen Wilken. Basketball: Lloyd Beatty, Don Clark, Dick Gouge, Hugh Henning, Charles Heins, Oval Vernia, and William Weber. Baseball: Chester Powell, Don Clark, David Voris, Glen Wilken, Bill Wharton, and Joe Franger. Girls’ Glee Club: Lois Bedell, Eliza- beth Carter, Marie Ellers, Jean Gibb, Marian Hazen, Maxine Lange, Peggy Morris, Rosemary Ramseyer, Mary Lou Steinberg, Jane Spence, Mona Waples, and Mary Ellen Wink. Boys’ Glee Club: Orin Crouch, Charles Heins, Joe Franger, Hugh Henning, Mahlon Morris, and David Voris. Our class decreased further by the loss of Erma Clemens, Elma Goode, John Reis, and Arnold Tammen. After a three months’ vacation, we again resumed study, this time as jun- iors. As before, we were fluently rep- resented in the various activities, such as sports, glee clubs, and band. Those representing us in band, were: Orin Crouch, Hugh Henning, Charles Heins, Maxine Lange, Rosemary Ram- seyer, Mary Lu Steinberg, Bill Whar- ton, Betty Rathbun, and Anna Margaret Newnam. During this year we were deeply grieved when Lloyd Beatty, Bernard Sieg and Carter Mardis left our class. However, Eileen Ward added to it. On March 29, the Physics and Chem- istry classes journeyed to Urbana and visited interesting places, in connection with their studies. The junior class play, “For Pete’s Sake,” was a great success with a good audience. A number of juniors took part in the Public Speaking plays which were given on March 19. Our class is also represented in the F-Club, F. F. A., G. A. A., Home Ec.. French Club, and Theatron. The officers of the class are: PRESIDENT ............ David Voris VICE-PRESIDENT .......

But teacher says, “not:’ I mustn’t do that, I’m ornery, uncouth, And a very mean brat. And so, dear little typewriter To you I must be kind. Although I’d like to take you out And around a light-pole bind. Author: (Anonymous) Longing for You It’s been only a few minutes since we parted, but it seems a week already. A week! It seems forever! I’ve tried to relax and forget, but it is impossible. From where I sit I can look out the window and see other girls passing, dozens of girls, but all I want is you. Darling, why don’t you come back? At every approaching step my heart leaps, thinking it might be you. But it never is . . . and my heart grows colder at each disappointment, each more poig- nant than the last. I’m longing for you—my gosh, am I? If you don’t come quick. I’ll sure get pinched for parking by this hydrant! WHO CARES ABOUT THE AUTHOR? CHARLES HEINS. Of all the sad surprises. There’s none that can compare With treading in the darkness On a step—which isn’t there. When the donkey saw the zebra He began to switch his tail; Well I never,” was his comment, Saw a mule that’d been in jail!” Sssst! Suddenly arises a dozen or so, bowed heads. It’s those curious little freshies who are usually gazing around the room. Next is a series of unusual contortions of the face, probably some- one trying to convey to a person three rows away that something spectacular is about to happen. Followed by this is a yelp from the victim who had his spinal cord tickled with a long pointed fingernail belonging to the person be- hind him. Immediately all heads are bent studiously over their books. A few minutes later a glance from the corner of the eye proves that all is well at the assembly desk. Whiz! Down the aisle flies a peculiar shaped object. But alas! It alights too far away from its destination. An oblig- ing neighbor gives it a hefty kick in the right direction. There is a smile and a nod of the head from the receiver of the action and all the freshmen settle back to their lessons. Once again a freshman note has been successfully passed! PEGGY MORRIS.

Thirty-two The Raven On Saving Foo Once upon a time. Not so long ago, There was a crazy guy, Called Edgar Allen Poo. Now his dear little wife I think that people who say “foo” Sure don’t have very much to do. They are the ones you always find, Who in their work are still behind. They never cuss nor gum do chew When they get mad they just say foo.” Had got tuberculosis, And he had just developed A slight case of gabosis.” So Edgar got a bottle And started in to drink; He thought he heard a tappin’ They are the type who always know, Just what will happen in a show. Because they always read the book From which the show has just been took. Take my advice I give to you, Just don’t say foo.” Stop! P. D. Q. Plink, plink, plink. BETTY FLANAGAN. He opened up the window, And there he saw—a Raven Who jumped upon a statue, And said, tain’t misbehavin'.” Just Hoping Poe asked him lots of questions O’er and o’er and o’er; But all the dizzy bird would say Was never, never more. I’m afraid I didn’t realize How much I’d miss my sis. I know how much she meant to me, And also what loneliness is. Then Edgar threw away his bottle And asked about Lenore; But all the crazy thing would say, Was never, never moie. I can hear her clear ring of laughter, Her bright and witty joke. I guess about all that I can do Is wait for her and hope. Now Poe kept asking questions Till it got to be a bore. But all the d d old bird would say, Was never, never more. Just hope that I will see her soon Is about all that I can do. And I am sure her many friends Feel lonesome and miss her too. Then when the raven told him His wife was going to die. Poe jumped up quick and threw a fit And told him that “you lie.” JANE CARTER. I guess that bird’s still sittin’ there Up above the door; And still it can’t say nothing. Than never, never more. There once was a gal named Joe.” Her men all worried her so. She always had a man In every town in the land. And don’t think she didn’t let us know. So here is the end of the story Of the Raven, Poe and Lenore. I’ll never write another poem, Nope, never, never more. VAN AMBROSE. There once was a teacher named Lillian,” And really she was lots of fun. But the truth now is this: That she soon tired of Miss,” And now her teaching days are done. Thirty-three Cats I don’t know how I got started on cats, but here I am writing about them. For one thing I hate cats. I think a cat is a big nuisance! They crawl all over you, and cling to your skin. We had a cat once, and once was enough. It was a little black kitten when we got him. He came home with me one night, and I just couldn’t get rid of him. Of course, I had to give him a little milk but that was enough to keep him for the rest of his life. He grew very fond of me no matter how much I abused him. I’ll admit he was very cute when he chased balls of string and rolling thim- bles and such things as that, but that doesn’t make up for the many times that he scratched me. Blackie, that’s what we called him, would run up the curtain and drapes and tear them with his claws. Then I would get the blame for it, because I happened to let him in the house. When I think of any cat, I think of black cats crossing in front of me, and everyone knows that that is bad luck. Then there’s always the tom cat roaming around in alleys scaring people, mostly alley rats. I think perhaps I’ve said enough about cats, considering my dislike for them. MARY FULLER. Night A dark, still, lonely night— The revel of burglars, murderers and thieves; The moaning of a dog in the distance; The howling of coyotes in the wilderness; Wind whistling about the tombs of those who sleep. Fear, death, tears. A canopy of stars overhanging the peaceful desert, The earth breathing of reticence, The reflection of moonlight on waters gently lulled by summer breezes. The snow-capped peaks are swathed in fleecy clouds. Night, the essence of wonder and enchantment! The close of day—the return from labors; Lights kindled in windows along the peaced thoroughfare, The draperies stirred by a fresh, cool breeze. Grotesque forms are cast in shadows by brilliant moonlight. Night—the joy of revelers Wanderings through blossom-strewn pathways. Bright lights, laughter, gaiety. These things all come from you.

Thirty-six Happiness How vainly many people seek For what we term as “haopiness”; A cherished gift which rich and poor Can equally possess. What is it? It’s the pleasant time When soul and heart can truly say, “I’ve shared the sorrow of a friend, I’ve made somebody glad today!” And it’s the sense of joyousness You feel in warm spring rain, When God seems very near and dear, When earthly troubles all seem vain. It comes from knowing in your heart Your path is straight and true; In knowing that, though hard the road, A blessing lies ahead for you. Where is it found? In nature’s world. Around you everywhere, In warmth of home, in school, in play, In work, in friends, in prayer. So take it now, it’s yours to keep. Enjoy it while you may; It won’t be yours tomorrow or soon, Happiness is in today. It’s so much deeper than just fun. It’s hope and memories, too. To everyone it’s offered free— I’m happy now. Are you? CARLLEENE STEIDINGER. The Tale of an Old Valentine I was looking through some keepsakes. ’Twas just the other day. Away up in the attic, Where they are stored away. And I found an old Valentine, With memories so fair, To a little boy with a turned-uo nose, From a little girl with golden hair. This Valentine of years ago, In the days of the golden ru’e. Was given to me by a little girl, At a little district school. The writing now is getting dim. But I can read each line. And in the corner I see the date, Of eighteen ninety-nine. This treasure relic of olden days, I am very much afraid Was never bought at a store, So it must have been home-made. It’s not the value of this gift, Or what it means to me, But pleasant memories of the one. That gave this Valentine to me. I’ve put it back in the old chest. With other treasured things. And tied them altogether, With the very same old strings. And there they lie, a message From back along the line. When I was even glad to get A home-made Valentine. LOIS FITZGERALD. Thirty-seven English I We studied IVANHOE; that wasn’t so bad. We studied THE LADY OF THE LAKE; Everyone said “Gad!” But when we studied those measly poems, We all went around with long faces, and groans. VINCE FRANGER. Evening The long, long day is at its end— The evening stars are due; A dusky gray steals o’er the sky; Another day is through. The moon’s bright silvery light doth flood The sleeping world in splendor; And soft winds whisper through the trees, Making us—our cares surrender. Cool evening comes so silently To sooths this world of ours; It brings the restful darkness All studded with bright stars. MARGIE SCHNETZLER. Mr. Moore We have a great teacher called Moore, Very seldom he ever gets sore; When he teaches a class, He explains to the last— Many details of GENERAL SCIENCE. CHARLES HANES Third Hour Woes Some kids sit in the assembly, And study as hard as they can, They are Mamma’s little angels, And Daddy’s little man. Others sit in the assembly And have a lot of fun; But when the bell begins to ring, Boy, how they do run! They run because they are afraid, They got in teacher’s hair; And she might say, “To the office with you!” And you’ll never get out of there. I sometimes pity the teachers, For they have a lot to do; But what a dull school this would be If it weren’t for teachers like you. PEARL WEISSER.

Farmer City ...... Chenoa Forty Fairbury Wins Over Forrest 41-12 On T uesday, September 22, the Smithmen started their football season. The former eleven was light and Coach Smith, after es- tablishing a comfortable lead, al- lowed every squad member a chance. The final score was 41-12 in favor of Fairbury. Peoria Central Takes F. T. H. S. 16-0 The Peoria eleven, a heavy football team, barred the F. T. H. S. squad from their goal posts. Unable to penetrate the heavy Peoria Central line, the local boys forced defeat when the final whistle blew. T he score was 16-0 in Peoria’s favor. Fairbury Gets Setback 20-0 Hap Arends’ football squad cleaned up on Fairbury on their own gridiron on Friday, Septem- ber 29. Normal scored two touchdowns in the second quarter, leaving Fairbury behind. The final score was 20-0. Fairbury Defeats Ei. Paso 12-0 In a drizzling rain at Lewis Field on October 6, the Fairbury eleven defeated El Paso 12-0. Captain Dernier was very vital, getting the ball in scoring posi- tion. Fairbury outplayed the El Paso squad in making 14 first downs—while the visitors were making three. The final score was 12-0. Fairbury Tramps Chatsworth 33-0. With a sensible and well organ- ized team the Smithmen played Chatsworth on Friday, October 3. Not at any time did the Chats- worth boys threaten the local team. Huber was Fairbury’s best man—namely, in the first quarter when he caught a Chatsworth punt on F. T. H. S. 45-yard line and raced 55 yards to a touchdown. Fairbury scored in each quarter. Dwight Beats F. T. H. S. 27-0 A fast backfield and a much heavier line were a few of the many advantages the Trojans had over the Green and Gold eleven in a good game between the Dwight Trojans and F. T. H. S. Tartars on Friday, October 20. Fairbury at no time threatened the Dwight goal. The final score was 27-0. University High Routes . Fairbury 26-6 U. High handed Fairbury a 26-6 defeat on Friday, October 27, on the local eleven’s own grid- iron. The boys were hard fighters, but it was a matter of too much strength and speed for the Smith- men against U. High. In the third quarter a faint spark flickered and then went out as the pass by Ziegenhorn was intercepted and taken 25 yards to a touchdown. The final score was 26-6. Forty-one Well Played Game Lost to Pontiac 12-0 In an action-filled game on Fri- day, November 3, the Smithmen again failed to break the heavy drive of the Pontiac Indians. The first half remained com- pletely without scores from either side, while the second half in the early part, the Pontiac scalpers made two touchdowns. The ex- tra point failed both times. Farmer City Defeats F. T. H. S. 13-0 The Farmer City squad thrilled their cheerers on a homecoming game in which they were quite successful. The winners did all their scor- ing in the second quarter. The extra point was successful once, making the score 13-0. Night Game in Chenoa Fails FOR FaIRBURY The Redbirds defeated Fair- hury by a score of 37-6 in the last game of the season for F'.T.H.S. F'airbury failed in all the at- tempts to make the touchdown. However, the eleven men worked up to the opposing goal posts three times. It was a sad ending to a rather sad season. Ziegenhorn was the bright spot during Fairbury’s whole football year. BASKETBALL Row I Mr. Watson, Joe Franger, Don Clark, Dick Deputy, George Walker, Pat Flanagan, Ross Hildreth. Row II Mr. Ross, Reuben Huber, Charles Rice, Bill Weber, Dewey Demler, Ray Bess, Oval Vernia, Coach Smith. Forty-three FAIRBURY OPENS CAGE SEASON BY OVERWHELMING ODELL 48-9. Smith’s Buckaroos opened the season right at Odell by trimming the latter very soundly. Rice led the Smithmen with 10 points and everybody except Bowie contrib- uted to the scoring. FAIRBURY OPENS HOME SEASON BY TROUNCING SAUNEMIN AND FORREST QUINTS. The Fairbury cagers hooked up in a twin bill and won them both to make their home debut. Walker led the scoring in the first game with six points, as Saunemin was an easy mark for the Tartar aggrega- tion. The score was 28-7. Bob Skinner’s boys gave our boys a bit of a scare, but were subdued by an 18-14 count. Huber took scoring honors for Fairbury with 8 points. Shobe and Gulliford each hit the irons for 7 points. The Fairbury reserves were the vic- tims of a 42-13 onslaught handed out by Forrest. FAIRBURY LOSES TO DWIGHT 39-27 Fairbury was the victim of the Dwight cagers 39 to 27. , Bess led the Smithmen’s scoring with 9 points while Mathiesen chalked up 12 for Dwight. George Walker suffered a dislocate 1 shoulder as hard luck hit the squad, and George will be gone from action for the next few weeks. FAIRBURY DROPS FIRST GAME IN CORN BELT CIRCUIT 28-19. The Buckaroos couldn’t hit the bas- ket and so fell before Farmer City 28-19. Clark led the local cagers with five points while Helmick scored consistent- ly with 14 points. The Fairbury reserves were victims of 20-14 victory by the Morinmen. FAIRBURY LOSES TO CHATSWORTH IN CLOSING MINUTES 25-24. Fairbury lost a tough game to the Chatsworth cagers after leading all the way. Fairbury scored early when Cap- tain Huber scored a basket. Stanley Hill, a former Fairbury boy, led Chatsworth with 11 points. The reserves won a thriller, 25-24. FAIRBURY PLACES THIRD IN PON- TIAC HOLIDAY TOURNEY Fairbury upset the dope can and everything else by placing third in th? Pontiac invitational tourney, Centralia being their only black mark, through- out. Casey was Fairbury’s first victim in a 32-31 game which was won in the last thirty seconds. George Walker and Dewey Dernier scored 9 and 8 points, respectively. The Proviso game proved to be an even bigger thriller than the Casey game as the Smithmen gave the ex- perts another boot with 33-32 overtime victory. While Ray Bess’s field goal was the winning basket, George Walk- er’s fifteen points was the main factor in winning. Centralia, the tourney champs, stop- ped Fairbury’s further bids with a 33-20 victory. The Centralia cagers led from the start and completely outclassed the locals. Normal was Fairbury’s victim for third place, being defeated 32-29. Walk- er, as in all other Fairbury games, was the sparkplug of the attack with 13 points, raising his tourney total to 44. F. T. H. S. BOYS WIN TYPICAL FAIRBURY-PONTIAC GAME. The F. T. H. S -Pontiac game played on December 15 was one of the most exciting of the season. With the tra- ditional feuding between the two teams the games proved to mean much to both towns. To add to the excitement the game went into an overtime since the score Forty-four was bound 21-21 at the end of the usual game time. Huber scored the winning basket and was also high-point man for the evening. FAIRBURY WINS 34-24 GAME. Taking an 8-0 lead in the first quar- ter and scoring consistently throughout the game, the Smithmen took a romper from the C. C. H. S. boys. Cornell out- scored Fairbury in the second and third quarters by one point. Baskets by Walker and Huber chalked up the vic- tory for the Green and Gold quintet. FAIRBURY DEFEATS CROPSEY 34-19 With the Cropsey game won, Fair- bury had three victories in five days to their credit. Dernier was the first to score and they were never left trailing through- out the game. Cropsey had quite bad luck; however, the boys refused to stop trying even with the F. T. H. S. score growing steadily in front of them. ODELL BOWS TO GREEN AND GOLD The Green and Gold Tartars added another victory to their long list of suc- cesses when they defeated Odell in a game that ended in a one-sided victory for the Smithmen. The half ended with the F. T. H. S. quintet leading 19-7. The third quarter proved fruitful in the way of field goals. The final score was 46-12. The Smithmen showed good ball han- dling and an expert basket eye. NORMAL TRIUMPHS OVER FAIRBURY, 29-28 The Normal five defeated the Green and Gold Tartars in the last 15 seconds of play. The winning field goal was a climax to the many exciting plays ear- lier in the evening. The first half was claimed by Arends’ men, but the Fairbury cagers kept try- ing and were determined to win. With Weber and Dernier scoring, the gap was lessened in the third quarter, the score being 22-19. In the last two minutes Walker came through with one of his “never-failing” one-handed shots, giving F. T. H. S. a 28-27 lead. Schneibel, of Normal, was then fouled, and made his two free throws, giving Normal the lead and the victory when the final bell rang. Weber was high scorer for Fairbury with ten points. FAIRBURY SCALPS CHENOA, 33-25 Another victory was added to the F. T. H. S. score book on Tuesday, Janu- ary 12, when the Smithmen won a rous- ing game from the Chenoa quintet. The first quarter ended in a 9-6 lead for the local cagers. In the second quarter they raised their lead to a 16-10 basis. Chenoa then staged somewhat of a rally by tying the score 19-19. The Smithmen led by Captain Huber broke the jinx and let go. The game ended in a 33-25 victory for the Green and Gold Tartars. U. HIGH DEFEATS F. T. H. S. A close game ending in a victory for U. High was played on January 12. Fairbury made only one field goal in the first half but outscored U. High by one point in the final half. Walker was high-point man with Dernier close be- hind. The Fairbury reserves won their game 17-15. FAIRBURY WINS 34-19 FROM CORNELL In another victory for Fairbury the local cagers ably demonstrated their un- For ty-five usual ability in hitting the hoop when they do shoot at it. The first half was rather close with Fairbury leading 15-12. In the latter part of the game Weber led the scoring attack for F. T. H. S. and made 7 goals and 2 free throws. The final score was 34-19. Fairbury squads divided. With a division in the regular basket- ball squad the Fairbury cagers proved that together we win—divided we fall.” However, the squad journeying to Cropsey proved successful in the battle against the C. T. H. S. quintet. Walker led the Fairbury offensive at- tack with total of 14 points to his credit. The final score was 43-24. The squad going to Strawn did not come out so well. The final score for them was 40-18 in Strawn’s decided favor. Strawn was ahead at the beginning and remained in the lead practically to the end. WELL-PLAYED GAME LOST TO PIPER A 13-3 lead at the end of the first quarter proved useless to the Smithmen who were finally trounced on by Art Keefe’s quintet. The Piper City boys won 28-25. Huber of F. T. H. S. was high-point man with 12 points to his credit. The Fairbury reserves defeated the Piper City reserves 29-20. FORREST AND FAIRBURY BATTLE IS TIGHT A little boxing mixed up in over-en- thusiastic athletes during the Fairbury- Forrest game proved to be unhealthy to both parties. They were suspended from further activities. The Smithmen came through with a 23-20 victory. Walker was high-point man for F. T. H. S. TARTARS LOSE HARD-FOUGHT GAME TO DWIGHT The Fairbury quintet was defeated on February 9 on their own floor by the Dwight five. It was a hard-fought game. The score finally—32-27. Mathiesen was the bright spot for Dwight. With his ability in pivoting and getting around his ever-watchful guard, he is to be considered a true ath- lete in his cat-like movements. He chalked up 14 points for the Dwight quintet. Huber was high-point man for Fair- bury with 11 points. Nineteen fouls were called during the entire game, nine reluctantly claimed by Fairbury THE REGIONAL AND SECTIONAL TOURNAMENTS The Fairbury Tartars entered the Chenoa regional by drawing the winner of the Colfax district. The winner was Lexington and they put up a good scrap to the last minute. Fairbury proved to be too powerful for this ag- gregation and the green and gold won by a score of 26 to 17. Bloomington defeated Chenoa and thus advanced to the semi-finals to meet Fairbury. This was a nip-and-tuck affair all the way and some outstanding ball was played by both teams. Read was a standout for Bloomington, while Walker kept Fairbury in the game by some expert shooting. Fairbury emerged victorious by a score of 23 to 18. Normal Community defeated Univer- sity High of Normal and El Paso to ad- vance to the finals. Fairbury gave Nor- may Community quite a finish and even though the Tartars were defeated by a score of 35 to 27 the game was much more closely contested than the score indicates. Fairbury entered the Ottawa sectional as a regional runner-up and was pitted against La Salle. The large floor seemed to cause the Fairbury boys to shoot short at the basket, and as a result they went down to defeat by a score of 36 to 14. This game closed a very succes- ful year for the Smithmen. Forty-six Basketball Schedule November 22 Odell November 28 .

They have won ten straight games, and hope to keep up their winning streak. FAIRBURY VS. MELVIN The opening game of the season turned out to be successful, with the battery of Nolan and Freed. Not much hitting was done on Fairbury’s part, winning 6 to 3. Nolan struck out eight men in the opener. FAIRBURY VS. CORNELL Smith came out with a new pitcher, George Thomas, who scored a 12 to 1 victory for Fairbury in a slowly played game. FAIRBURY VS. LEXINGTON The boys, still moving along, took Lexington by a score of 9 to 3. Keep up the winning streak, boys. FAIRBURY VS. CIIATSWORTH Fairbury beat Chatsworth, 13 to 8, just to keep things in the swing. Looks like the boys are in full power now. Makes four in a row, but they say their goal is fifteen or bust. Let’s hope they don’t bust. FAIRBURY VS. GIBSON CITY Fairbury ventured to Gibson City to wallop them by a score of 14 to 2. Chet Powell hit two triples, Nolan hit one, and Walker topped it all by a home run. FAIRBURY VS. FLANAGAN Buck goes to his own home town and has quite a few arguments. Walker began pitching the game and was re- lieved by Thomas. Walker struck out five men and Thomas seven. The final score was 11 to 8. Smith wanted to stop and shoot pheasants on the way over. FAIRBURY VS. CORNELL For the second time Fairbury downs Cornell. Huber got his first real hit of the season, (he wasn’t hit by a pitched ball), a triple. Dernier got a double in the fourth inning. Thomas, Franger, and Sparks were the pitchers. They struck out 19 men. The final score was 12 to 9. FAIRBURY VS. CHATSWORTH Thomas pitched for Fairbury, and also banged out two triples. Dernier hit a double and there were seven singles. Chatsworth gave a bit more of a strug- gle this time, but Fairbury came out winners, 9 to 8. Nine more strike-outs for Thomas. FAIRBURY VS. GIBSON CITY Seems like the second game with these teams is a little tougher. Walker pitched us to a 3 to 2 victory over Drummer. Freed hit one of his old- style doubles of last year. Keep that bat. Bill FAIRBURY VS. PIPER CITY Nolan pitched Fairbury to their tenth victory by a score of 6 to 4, allowing four hits, two walks; and struck out seven men. Triples were hit by Walker and Knopp, doubles by Dernier and Knopp; total hits for Fairbury, eight. Forty-nine ATHLETIC BANQUET On Monday evening, May 13, the members of the athletic organiza- tions at F. T. H. S. were honored with an athletic banquet. The banquet was attended by those people participating in the major sports, namely, football, basketball and baseball. Also the public was cordially invited for the evening’s food and entertainment. The band members were in- cluded when the invitations were issued, and everyone certainly enjoyed themselves fully. And why not, with a menu and a program such as this: Program Invocation ..... Father Farrell Toastmaster .... Henri Mohar Song, America ........ Audience Letter Awards . . . Burdell Smith Trophy Awards .. Mellroy Ross Address...............Jack Ryan Sports Editor of Chicago Daily Nows Menu Chicken, Noodles New Potatoes New Peas Cole Slaw, Coffee Rolls Butter Angel Food Cake Strawberries and Whipped Cream The banquet was sponsored by the Buccaneers, the Rotary and John Joda Post. Fifty MIXED CHORUS The Mixed Chorus performed the major part of the annual spring concert. The chorus was divided into two choirs, one of thirty voices and another of eighty voices. This was done to insure greater volume for some of the heavier numbers. The chorus presented programs before the Woman’s Club, the Rotary Club, the Moline Temple, and over radio station WHBF in Rock Island. Eight members of the chorus were selected to help form the Illinois Vocal Clinic Choir at the University of Illinois, and four members were selected for the All-State Chorus at Champaign. Two members have been offered scholarships for further study of voice at universities. Fifty-two Fifty-three BOYS' GLEE CLUB BOYS' ENSEMBLE GIRLS' ENSEMBLE GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Fifty-four MIXED ENSEMBLE SOLOISTS Fifty-five BAND This year the hand specialized in marching and field formations under the leadership of Drum Major Eugene Sutton and four majorettes, Charline B e c k 1 e y , Marian Hazen, Peggy Morris and Mary Fuller. New uniforms were partially earned by members by means of selling “band helper” tags. An uptown parade on the evening of tag day was staged as a token of appreciation for the community’s help. The band demonstrated their marching and playing ability at all home football games last fall. The spring concert was the cli- max to the year’s work of the band. Fifty-six VOCAL MUSIC COMPETITION Fairbury’s vocal music competition began this year with eighteen soloists who had endeavored to perfect their rendition of two songs each. Judge Bruce Foote of the University of Illinois was given the task of selecting the seven best at the preliminary solo con- test held in the high school auditorium. These seven soloists were then ad- vanced, along with the mixed octette and girls’ glee club, to the district con- test held at Clinton. Every one of these entries emerged victorious from this competition against schools from tive surrounding counties. Again they were advanced and pitted against still keener competition at the sectional state linals (one-third of Illi- nois) which were held in Peoria and Champaign. Here four soloists met de- feat, the three remaining soloists and the octette and glee club surviving to en- gage in the national regional contest (Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois) held at Springfield. In this highest of all school music contests, Fairbury’s entire vocal forces entered, the groups which had hitherto been biding their time now coming forward to compete against groups of more nearly equal calibre. Having won their “superior” at the na- tional last year, the boys’ and girls’ oc- tettes and the boys’ glee club and mixed chorus had been excused from compet- ing in the lesser contests this year. At this national contest all Fairbury groups that entered brought home “su- perior.” The mixed chorus was not en- tered, however, although eligible, due to the lack of time available for learning the five festival numbers required of all entrants in this event.

The oflicers tried hard to make this year a better one than ever and we feel that they were successful. The officers elected this year were: President, Rocella Von Bergen; Vice-President. Dorothy Leh- man; Secretary, Emma Schmidt; and Treasurer, Dorothy Yoder. Aside from our monthly meetings we have enjoyed many other events. In the fall three members journeyed to Chicago to represent our club at the annual Home Economics conference. Several members again attended the Normal University Home Economics Day at Normal on April 20. Another well-spent day was the district Rally Day held in Streator. A good time, as well as an instructive one, was had by everyone. The members of our club were de- lighted to have the opportunity to serve the annual Father and Son banquet again this year. The year was ended with an appropri- ate climax, the events being two teas, one for the eighth grade girls and the other for the mothers of the club girls. A style show by members of the cloth- ing class was presented, the girls mod- eling the garments made in the class. Refreshments ended the very happy afternoon. We know every girl enjoyed her club work and everyone wishes to thank Miss Whitford for the kind and willing attitude she shows in helping the girls with their programs and entertainment, as well as work in their classes. Fifty-nine Officers President .............. William Freed Vice-President .... Ross Eugene Hildreth Secretary ............ LaVerne Martin Treasurer ............ Thomas Glennon Reporter ............... Glenn Wilken This organization represents the farm- ers of tomorrow. Through the wide variety of work they do, the members are learning the intelligent use of sci- entific farming. Ths high school now offers a four- year course in agriculture. The curric- ulum includes Farm Mechanics, Soils and Crops, Animal Husbandry and Farm Management. The F. F. A. participates in various activities: judging, project work, soil testing, club tours and trips and corn husking contests. Thev also play base- ball an! basketball during the year. Each spring they sell seed to raise money for their chapter. All of these activities tend to advance the members in the field of co-operation in the community and with farm work. Sixty G. A. A. Officers President .......... Chari ine Beckley Vice-President .. Betty Jean Rathbun Secretary-Treasurer, Rosemary Hoffman Sponsor ................ Miss Mullaney The purpose of our Girls Ath- letic Association is well expressed in our initiation pledge: “I promise to uphold the ideals of the Girls Athletic Association, By promoting interest in ath- letics and the out of doors; By living so that I may be healthy and strong; By making good sportsmanship a constant factor in my conduct.” In our social and business meet- ings this year, we strived to carry out this purpose. The open- ing picnic and scavenger hunt, the party in the music room with dancing, ping pong, and other games, the April Fools’ Day Slack Party in the gym, and the farewell party to the seniors are some of the main social events. The regular business meetings were followed by class programs, one of which was a simplified ver- sion of “Gone With the Wind.” Any G. A. A. member will recall the bake sale which the club spon- sored. Often during the noon hour or evenings after school, G. A. A. members gathered to play base- ball volleyball, basketball, or to go on hikes. Sixty-one F. CLUB Officers FIRST SEMESTER President ............... Bill Freed Vice-President ......... Dewey Dernier Secretary-Treasurer ..... Joe Franger SECOND SEMESTER President .............. Dewey Demler Vice-President ........ George Walker Secretary-Treasurer ..... Bill Weber Since our F-CIub has been or- ganized a year — and since we have been successful in our organ- ization—we believe that we have shown the school that our club has and will prosper. With the success of our sig- nificant bake sales up to the cli- max of the year—our trip to Tur- key Run — we have proven that our hearts are in the good of the club. The F-Club sponsored three trophies this year. They were awarded to the three most valu- able players in our major sports, football, basketball and baseball. In order that we might have enough funds to carry us to and from Turkey Run and to furnish us with plenty of fun while we were there, Mr. Ross successfully managed the benefit show, “The Shop Around the Corner.” We believe that without the help of Mr. Ross, our sponsor, we could not and would not have had the good times we have en- ioved since our F-Club has begun. Therefore we consider it our duty and pleasure to thank Mr. Ross for the patience he has shown in his work with us and our club. Sixty-two LATIN CLUB Our Latin Club, which is under the direction of Miss Sharp, was organized for the purpose of ob- taining more information about the Roman people and their cus- toms. In 1937 the first state conven- tion was held in Normal and we sent several delegates. Fairbury was also represented at the second state convention in Normal. This year the convention was held in Peoria. Marian Hazen, Margie Schnetzler and Jessie Frances Bartlett were the delegates. At that convention it was decided that the next year there would be district meetings throughout the state, the year after that a state meeting, and so on, alternating every year. Next year Fairbury has the honor of having a district meeting, and not only the students taking I atin, but everyone in high school who once belonged to the Club, will help with the meeting. The Latin Club meets once every month at the public library. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: President ......................... Ruth Brunson Vice-President ......... Louise Hirstein Secretary ........... Helen Steidinger Treasurer ........... Katherine Roach After the monthly business meeting and program, various en- tertainments arc held, and refresh- ments served. Sixty-three LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Officers President ..................... John Ziegenhorn Vice-President Herschel Lellingwell Secretary ........ Marilyn Thompson Treasurer ........ William Alexander Once again we greet those am- bitious looking students of the French classes, only this time they are in a more serious mood. The club has increased in mem- bers since last year—puree que—a few more students were inspired to learn the French tongue. The purpose of the club is to promote appreciation for the French language and customs, and t o provide social relationship among the members. A French newspaper was sub- scribed for by the adviser, Miss Sharp. The boys and girls en- joyed reading the news of the routine of French life. Monthly meetings were held in the homes of the students. In order to realize the true beauty of the country scenes in F rance, the club attended a French picture show. After a year of this language the students have progressed in speaking ability to a moderate de- gree of conversation with one an- other. And to prove they can speak F'rench they say “Adieu, jusqu’a prochain Fannie.” Sixty-four THEATRON Theatron is a newly organized dramatics club of P'. T. H. S. sponsored by Miss Kemple. The club is a combination of the Public speaking and Dramatics classes. It also consists of those who have participated in class plays. This club has been organized in the hope that dramatic activities in our school will be improved. The club chose for its officers: President, Ross Hildreth; Vice- President, Velda Gerber; Secre- tary, Helen Craig; and Treasurer, Prances Rathbun. There has been quite an inter- est shown in the club, and with the aid of the officers and spon- sors, the club has a good begin- ning. In order to urge public speak- ing and participation in plays, there is a list of activities given. There are points given for each. After an individual has obtained 200 points he receives a pin. Following is the list of activities and the points that may be ac- quired : Contests ....................... 2 pts. Speeches outside of class .... 5 pts. One Act Plays ................15 pts. Major role .................25 pts. Minor role .................10 pts. Three Act Plays Plays outside of school ..... 5 pts. Operetta .......................10 pts. Manager of one act plays .....15 pts. Manager of three act plays ...20 pts. Asst, manager of one act plays ....10 pts. Asst, manager of three act plays.,15 pts. The hope is that the club will continue to grow both in members and in ability. Sixty-five Junior Play “FOR PETE’S SAKE” Thursday, March 7, 1940 A Three-act Comedy The juniors of 1940 had the biggest event of their school year at the Cen- tral theatre on Thursday evening, March 7, at 8 o’colck, where the three-act com- edy, “For Pete’s Sake,” was given. The action of the play, “For Pete's Sake,” centers around the trouble of Peter Peppordine. Peter is a college student who is always in hot water. He not only flunks Latin but is constantly prevaricating as Thorndyke Murgle- thorpe (Muggsy) calls it. Muggsy not only uses jawbreaking words, but also sentences such as “Laughing is a syn- chronized coordination of neurophysio- logical reflexes with semi-automatic im- pulses.” He also makes a very good acting girl when it comes to flirting. Peter has quite a time with his Aunt Sarah, but not for long for she soon goes to Jerusalem. Peter now rules the whole house. He dresses Bill Bradshaw, his college chum, as the gardener; Muggsy, as the sweet housemaid, but Jasmine is still the colored cook afraid of Grandfather Pepperdine’s picture, which is always “hauntin’ her.” This whole set-up is to the advantage of Peter and Bill so they can keep an eye on their girl friends. Nadine and Peggy Clarkston. While they are at it they kill two birds with one stone for they are low on spending money. Des- perate, they rent Aunt Sarah’s house to their girl’s mother, Mrs. Clarkston. It also helps them to see how their girls act to the rich banker, John Boliver, and the soulful, mooning poet, Dupont Darby. During this time Aunt Sarah has got- ten seasick and Dean Murglethorpe, a friend of the families, has been making eyes at Mrs. Clarkston. Not until the final curtain falls did you know how it was going to turn out. The cast of characters is as follows: Miss Sarah Pepperdine....Betty Rathbun Jasmine Jackson ....... Mary Ellen Wink Cicero Murglethorpe ........ Orin Crouch Peter Pepperdine ......... Charles Heins Bill Bradshaw ............. Lloyd Beatty Thornedyke Murglethorpe (Muggsy).. ......................... David Voris Mrs. Georgiana Clarkston... Marie Eilers Nadine Clarkston ............ Jeane Gibb Peggy Clarkston ........... Peggy Morris Malvina Potts....Jessie Frances Bartlett John Boliver .......... Joseph Franger Dupont Darby .............. Mahlon Morris Sixt y-J .Y Senior Play “ONE STORMY NIGHT” A play in Two Acts by George M. Cohan Directed by Marjorie V. Kemple Friday, May 3, 1940 To break the monotony of conven- tional farces and silly comedies, the senior play this year was a costume comedy. It was a good play — with witty remarks, a very interesting plot, and a chance to demonstrate acting abil- ity, stage settings, and the use of sound effects. The students ably tilled these positions. However, behind all this—behind the whole successfulness of the play, was something very great. It was the fine character and understanding personality of Miss Kemple. Through long days and longer nights — through days of planning, cutting, and hoping—through nights of rehearsing during which the greatest patience anyone could possibly have was exercised -Miss Kemple plod- ded on. Therefore, after a very successful pro- duction for which she is in great part responsible; and after a fierce nervous strain which forced her to bed, we sen- iors believe it our duty to here thank her for everything that she did for us during our play and throughout the school year. Nothing can show our ap- preciation more than saying: “God bless you, Miss Kemple!’ Cast of characters in order of their appearance: Zach, the innkeeper’s son..Ross Hildreth Sally, the hired girl ....

S. has be- come a paradise of beauty and color—it is the night of the Jun- ior-Senior Prom. Shadows cast by the flickering flame of the candles, dance back and forth along the wall. A star- less sky gleams overhead. To- night is the night of the Mexican Fiesta. The room is decorated as a Mexican patio. Several long tables, decorated with gourds and assorted fruits, run lengthwise of the gym. An orchestra, dressed in Mexican costumes, plays while the dinner is being served. The place-cards are in the shape of sombreros; the programs are Mexican fans. David Voris, the Master of Ceremonies, is taking over as soon as the dinner is finished and the following entertainment is of- fered for the evening: Welcome .......................... Joe Franger Response ............... Dewey Dernier Toast to Seniors ............... A. C. Watson Class History .......... Valerie Fultz Class Will .......... Charline Beckley Class Prophecy .... William Alexander, Marian Hazen, Charles Heins School Song ................. Students After the program is over, the floor is cleared; and as the orches- tra begins to play, each Senor ob- tains for himself a Senorita. Then begins an evening of games, fun, and merriment. Between the dances, the follow- ing acts are given: Junior Girls Quartet ............... .............. Marian Hazen, Peggy Morris, Marie Eilers, Marilu Steinberg Tap Dance ......

We wish to take this opportunity to express our thanks and gratitude for the willing cooperation shown by the merchants of Fairbury towards the students and the school. CALENDAR 1939-1940 Dear Diary: AUGUST 28. Reading, writing and arithmetic Is still the well known rule; So once acain we enter the doors Of F. T. H. S. High School. 29. Not much accomplished today. Most of the time spent in looking over the freshies, and the new Commer- cial and Math teacher. 30. Several senior boys tried to get into typing, only to find it full, so are now enrolled in Vocations. Don’t worry, boys, the new soon wears off. SEPTEMBER 1. Senior boys spent day looking over the freshman girls, and decide they will do in a pinch. 4. Labor Day, everyone works hard having fun. 5. The little freshmen just can’t find their right rooms. “Mr. Watson, could you tell me and my little friend where the Algebra room is?” 6. Fly season opens again in the as- sembly. Bill Freed wins first prize, his score being 460 per day. 7. Freshman Imogene J. claims to be the most attractive freshman girl this year. My! My! 8. The football boys really get Copch’s goat by spitting on his favorite foot- ball. 11. “Chatz” Beckley and “Dud” Fultz, Vince Ambrose and Ross Hildreth, four seniors, are elected cheerlead- ers. What is this, a put-up job? 12. Freshmen are beginning to think they run the school. In fact they RUN all over the place. 13. Helen S. can’t understand why the days aren’t longer. “Wouldn’t you think these terrible hot days would expand them?” 14. It’s not only flies this year, it’s live- stock, too. Cats, dogs, horse flies, and mice. Men too—a few of ’em. 15. First football game with Forrest. Guess we showed ’em. 18. Hard-hearted Werling finds a way to hibernate the flies. She puts candy wrappers on the floor, and when the flies cover it she gently puts her foot on the candy wrapper. 19. Seniors decide they will like Ameri- can History after all. Nice and airy. 20. Don't wonder about that continuous honking any more. It’s only Ella J.’s little brother leaning on the horn of the family car. 21. We notice Sara M. doesn’t eat din- ner any more. Eighteen pounds in three weeks is away too much. 22. Normal Community played ball here. Not a bad bunch, are they, girls? 25. Kitty W. can’t seem to walk up or down the stairs without falling — would a bicycle help, Kitty? 26. The Paxton Typewriter man visits tyoing room to fix machines and Mullaney keeps him there for an hour for being naughty. 27. Poor Johnny Z. He just can’t make up his mind whom to rush, Margie S. or Imogene J. 28. Smith tells seniors first hour in as- sembly that they are as bad as the freshmen about talking. Covers a lot of territory, doesn’t it, Smith? 29. The golf course seems to be a fa- vorite rendezvous for a certain grouo of juniors. How about it, C. H., M. H., P. M., B. R.? OCTOBER 2. Mr. Watson hasn’t lost his pleasant smile and personality over the sum- mer months. His merry laugh is needed around this tomb. 2. Ruth Brunson comes up from Latin just fumin’. She was mad cause Sharpie was mad — and everybody got mad. Even Prof! 4. Many students were jolted from their seats in the assembly as Miss Seventy ‘The ‘Blade ‘Publishing Company PRINTERS OF THE 1940 CRIER CALENDAR Whitford let out a joyous war- whoop. She had accidentally found a pair of long lost, treasured scissors. 5. Mary E. W. stays home at night writing her book, “Six Hundred Best Ways of Refusing Dates.” Can it be from experience, Mary Ellen? 6. Vince and Ross do an Adagio on the campus.

Smith gets wiser every day in His- tory class. He says George Wash- ington was the god of the credit men. He left a farewell address. 11.

Hagen was found sitting in the corner in Homemaking today. What is this, a game? 20. Louise H. and Miss Sharp play ring- around-the-rosy in Latin over Louie’s assignments. Louise now has Miss Sharp sign on an affidavit every day swearing that she has handed in her assignments. 23. Why did three senior girls, H. M., B. C., M. H., and sophomore V.

Too many un-OK excuses given to students. By the way, why didn’t Mr. Smith get one ? 7. Herschel Leflingwel! can’t make up his mind which of his passengers (girls) to drop off last on his taxi service at noon. Today it was V. Fultz. 8.

Vince Ambrose certainly gets in some odd positions in English Four. The class has threatened to chip in and buy him a day-bed—but then he’d have to have some pajamas and too much is too much. 16. Eoys food class cooked pheasant to- day. Miss Whit ford learned some- thing about cooking she never knew existed before. 17. Smith runs the legs off Pat Flana- gan.

Our new sophomore, Dorothy A., can really swing it down the assem- bly aisle, whether in a hurry or not. 28. The seventh hour is really begin- ning to become a leisure hour. Only about two students had their books out today and were really studying. Others were sleeping, talking, pass- ing notes, or throwing beebee shot across the room. 29. Mullaney lectured her Shorthand class about the way they acted in Typing. She meant her Shorthand II class, for her Shorthand I class are angels. 30.

Mr. Watson at last took down the Thanksgiving picture in the as- sembly and put up the Christmas picture. 5. V. Gerber’s hose are reallv some- thing original. She embroiders all the way down the form of them with brown thread and has a French knot on the end. The designs differ —but originality is the keynote of fashion. 6. Jane Carter loves to have heart-to- heart talks with Kortkamp the sev- enth hour. She is never in her seat, except when Kortkamp is out of the room. 7. Don Clark says he likes to have fun.

L. Beatty and B. Hildreth are seen quite a lot these days. But we heard that Beatty will be leaving us in the spring, doubtless the romance will not last long. 13. Mr. Moore forgot his film projector, so the American History students had to have their hour of misery after all. 14. Smith and Jeff argued all History period today, the final results have not been handed into the office. 15. Wilbur Lewis and Florence Sutter have at last got together for a date.

As Christmas draws near, the fresh- men are commencing to become Santa’s little darlings. That is, all except for two freshman girls. They say they don’t like Santa. 21. School party is scheduled for tomor- row evening. Some tell us that a few of the freshman girls are ex- pecting their nursemaids to be wait- ing to take them home afterwards. Did we say nursemaids, pardon our mistake. 22. Christmas vacation begins. Every- body is looking forward to a pleas- ant rest. Many books are taken home for study. Did we say a pleas- ant vacation?

What blonde sophomore girl is most commonly known as the “village queen,” is it Vivian McHatton? 10. Bernard T. makes students uneasy. He couldn’t handle a car right if he did have one decent enough to handle. 11. Charlotte Nance seems contented in this institution of knowledge. She is copying after her sister Mary, who has always seemed contented when not annoying some teacher. 12. Willie Alexander strolls up to see Miss McAllister and it’s not about any Algebra, I’m sure.

Mullaney will not have any new gray hair this week. 17. Tommy Glennon sure loves Smith, and the same goes for Smith. 18. It was inVESTment day at school. Boys of the upper class wore vests. They are getting sillier than the freshmen. 19. The weather sure is getting cold. Everybody goes to Florida. “Shucks, what’s Florida got to keep you warm,” asks Peggy M. I think she knows. 22. After a lonesome, stormy period of nineteen days Marjorie H. and Fred H. are back for another try. 23.

What is the reason Bill Freed gives so many adoring glances to Betty Hildreth the seventh hour? Billy, it isn’t spring yet. 2. Miss Sharp still has trouble with her newer students. They just don’t know how to pull things—or Miss Sharp is getting wiser—What? 5. Margot Spence is really a bright spot around F. T. H. S. She’s al- ways smiling. 6. Mr. Watson has some of the pret- tiest red ties. You know, “You ought to see him when he’s all dressed up.” Wow! 7. Miss Steidinger hasn’t changed a bit all these months of drudgery. She’s still “patient Leona” with these dev- astating freshmen. 8. The music you hear the seventh hour is another way of conducting Physical Ed class. Sara says that volleyball, etc., is much too strenu- ous. We don’t know which is worse, to have them hurt their muscles or to hurt our heads. 9. Anna Margaret Newnam has a ter- P. M.

We are going to put up a loud speaking system so we third hour brats know when we are being bawled out. The funny part of it is—we all have guilty consciences. 13. Warren Craig keeps going around with his mouth shut. He’s afraid that his “oratory quality” will es- cape his voice. 14. Valentine Day. Cupid flits around the assembly, but floats out into the air as Eskimo Forrest Landsman opens too many windows. “The odor is bad,” so he says. 15. Mr. Ross installs a new coke machine in the Manual Training room. Stu- dents, I bet the cows will go bank- rupt. 16. Our boys go to Normal tonight. Here is hoping with you. Smith. 19. Fred H. looks tired this Monday morning. Could it be that Velda G. kept him out too late last night? Could be, but was it, Fred? 20. “Ginnie” Munz has a new snood. Well, you don’t have to be so “snoody” about it, Ginnie. 21. A 35 Ford leaves some very artistic drawings on the F. T. H. S. land- scape. Don’t tell me we have some guilty students. 22. Poor “Mo” Dernier. Some of his Pontiac girl friends came to visit school and they demanded from Mr. Watson to visit the classes where Dewey was. 23. Hot time in the old gym tonight. Pontiac got beat by our boys. The yelling and cheering (on our part) was really keen. 26. Smith gives his students a lecture on the new vocabulary he acquired when sitting in front of some Pon- tiac girls Friday night. We thought your vocabulary was quite full enough, Mr. Smith. 27. Some of our bright students (boys) barrel out with bow ties. Girls, do you think “they are fit to be tied?” 28. Fairbury players enter the Regional Tournament at Chenoa. Good luck, boys. 29.

He has such a piercing glance. 5. Harryette Werling and Edith Rob- inson are the daily assembly strag- glers. They always come in late from band. 6. The freshmen make daily after- school trips to Porter’s in hopes of finding some “drugstore cowboy.” Isn’t that true, Margie, Helen S. and Ella? We hear Margie S. would like to definitely rope a senior cow- boy, if any. 7. Harry Wagenseller made the re- mark in driving to school. “I’d bet- ter put my front seat in before I get too old.” 8. The March winds don’t seem to af- fect Kitty W.’s skirts. Maybe that is her objective in wearing them all so short. 11. Sara (school marm) Mullaney bar- rels out in big horn-rimmed specs. “Newest things,” sez she; “silliest things.” sez we. 12. “Boney” McMahon sure has a cer- tain little sophomore boy twined around her little finger. He follows her all over the school. Bone, what will the freshman girls do? 1 13. Dot Yoder seems to be Smith’s fa- vorite History student. But he al- ways seems to call on me at the time I have the wrong answer, says Dot. 14. Ross Hildreth and Harryette Wer- ling were seen pitching a little—on the dance floor. Woo! Woo! 15. The romance between Fuller and Warnie seems to be blossoming into a real love affair. Poor E. B. has been left out entirely until Christ- mas next year. 18. Compton had to walk this noon. No ride home. She also missed the taxi on her way back to school. Got to watch it. Bernice. 19. Harry W. just sits and stares at the senior girls the seventh hour.

What will you do when she graduates, Lee? Put up a statue? 25. Marion H. and Vince A. are seen quite a lot these days. Looks like Charlie is slipping, doesn t it? 26. Kortkamp bears down on Girls Glee club. No sweets and in bed at 9:30. if they expect to go to the contest. 27. Senior R. Huber makes eyes at jun- ior girls every eighth period in the assembly.

Friday night and 9:30 is the limit. APRIL 1. Bum’s Day again, the juniors are on a rampage all day. They took it out on poor Hitler. 2. Smith’s American History students like to keep on thinking it is still April Fool’s Day, especially when a debate is the topic of the day. 3. Who do we see here, there, and everywhere? Easy enough, its Lee H. and Rosella Von B. 4. Vince A. finally decided on Louise H. to court. Both are cute, little and agreeable, about each other? 5. Blushing Maurice Sutter gathers up enough courage to pop a poor inno- cent paper sack the third hour. 8. No senior Play practice tonight. Made it nice, didn’t it, F. H. ? 9. Joan Milne is the pet of the senior girls. She helps them with their coats, books, and with their trou- bles especially. You don’t find many freshmen like that nowadays. 10. With the coming of spring V. Ger- ber decides to roam the vicinity of Cropsey. Don’t tell us, Velda, that you’re tired of Pontiac and Fairbury, or is it just for a change of atmos- phere? 11.

By the way, how and where and why did Dick Deputy get that black eye la- ter in the evening? 15. “Chatz” wonders if she is really go- ing to have to stay six hours after school as McAllister insists. She says, “I wasn’t misbehavin’.” 16. These freshmen! Mr. Ham man jumped a foot when some little inno- cent boy set off an alarm clock the fifth hour. Even some of the sen- iors got a laugh out of it. 17. V. G. has a class ring and it isn’t her own. It has a “C” on it which probably means cousin or something. 18. Bill Freed is really worried. He wants to be an actor, farmer, and adagio dancer. 19. Girls Glee Club went to Champaign and returned with superior honors. No sweets and early hours really helped, didn’t it, girls? So we shall have another week of deprivation before the National. 22. Prof, accepted excuses from your parents to see Gone With the Wind. We hear that “Chris” and her friend attended the premier at the cemetery. The result was that they walked two or three miles back to town. 23. These freshman girls are not so dumb.

Hildreth was given a picture by the photographer who said that they might as well save time when possible. The pic- ture was one of a monkey. 29. Ever-forward Mullaney advances to a game of solitaire in the office. She’s just dying to play slap-jack with Mellroy. Ninety-one I CALENDAR 30.

Don’t worry, students, they are our last, we hone. 2. What’s this we hear about McAllis- ter not being with us next year? Taking advantage of Leap Year, huh? Couldn’t be those week-end trips? 3. The reason that George Walker car- ried Bernice Compton from the dance floor the other night, to his car? The reason was not because Bernie could not walk, but because she didn’t want to. 6. Senior play was a great success. All honors go to Miss Kemple as they always do. She deserves a big hand, students. 7. Jean Gibb falls down basement steps at home. She goes arouni school holding her back—well, a little be- low her back. 8. Miss Kemple is ill at the Mennonite Hospital. Her classes were taken over by Mr. Pricer, very well liked by the students. 9. What is this we hear about some of our important glee club members being kicked out of the contest for Friday and Saturday. After all, rules arc rules regardless of Decker’s and Forrest. 10. Home Ec Club entertained the eighth grade graduates today. 13. Athletic banquet for all those eli- gible. Some students looked very tired this morning.
