★ CLASS HISTORY Intent upon gaining new knowl- edge and eager to climb the ladder to higher education, fifteen of our senior class enrolled in the Fair- bury Elementary Schools in the fall of 1930. Of those, ten who entered the Edison School, name- ly Kathryn Hetherington, Virginia Munz, Edward Lometti, Ray- mond Bess, Jean Hurt, Bob Whar- ton, Louise Hirstein, Francis Pat- ernoster and Pauline Zimmerman, continued their education togeth- er. Vivian McHatton, Jane Car- ter, Mary Fuller, Dorothy Brad- ley and Margaret Downing began school life at the Isaac Walton School. These groups were com- bined in the third grade and con- tinued to share alike the joys and sorrows of obtaining greater knowledge. On completing the elementary requirements, sixty-four freshmen entered F. T. H. S. in the fall of 1938. Little surmising the future scope of our activities, we envied the upper classmen and disdained our humble status. From our class twenty-one proved themselves to be vocalists, participating in chorus, ensemble, and solo events, doing their share to bring music laurels to Fairbury. Girls’ Glee Club: Jane Carter, Shirley Moyer, Mary Fuller, Jean Hurt, Betty Flanagan, Viv- ian McHatton, Bette Neumann, Wilma Jean Munz, Pauline Zimmerman, Rose Noble, Carnell Strode, Louise Hirstein. Boys’ Glee Club: Herschel Leffingwell, Bob Cooper, Bob Wharton, Francis Paternoster, Raymond Bess, Dick Deputy, George Thomas. Wayne Hish, Jim French. From our class to the ranks of the marching and instrumental or- ganizations Louise I lirstein, Bette Neumann, Virginia Munz, Ray Bess, Herschel Leffingwell, Jean Hurt, Mary Fuller, Van Am- brose, Jim French, Bob Wharton, and Francis Paternoster contrib- uted their talents. Mary Fuller and Carnell Strode were our high- stepping drum majorettes. In the realm of sports we made many notable contributions. Al- ways striving for a well-earned victory to bring glory to the green and gold, the following partici- pated : In football: Frank Merrill, Dick Deputy, Ray Bess. Wayne Hish, George Thomas, Bob Wharton, Van Ambrose, Jim French. In basketball: Ray Bess. George Thomas, Dick Dep- uty, Bob Wharton, Virgil Price, Jim French. In baseball: Howard Freed, Jim French, Ray Bess. Frank Merrill, Herschel Leflingwell. Bill Jenkins, Francis Scouler, Wayne Hish. The remainder of our class was to be found cheering the team on from the sidelines. Important in maintaining a rousing school spirit Louise Hirstein was senior cheer- leader. As juniors we presented Little Orphant Annie, a spirited comedy under the supervision of Mr. Ralph Moore. As the year’s cli- max, we entertained the seniors at 17
