CLASS POETRY “TO SCHOOL” There’s a rumble, not a roar, We know it’s Don at our gate; In we jump, shut the door, Hurry Don! we might be late. Those two Freshmen, they’re just babies, Silly! Man alive, who knows, They’re not the least bit bashful, Oh maybe! That’s the way the story goes. As fast as the car can go, That’s the way we take it, With all the rain or snow Hurray! We made it. JoAnne Moser. HIGH SCHOOL H is for the happiness that remains all the year. I is for the ignorance that’s not lacking here. G is for grades that show who’s a fool. FJ is for hilarity that reigns o’er our school. S is for sports of several different kinds. C is for classes, supposed to develop the minds. H is for halls meant to be quiet. O is for organizations that end up in a riot. O is for—oh, I guess, most of the rest. L is for Love—for old F. T. H. S. Marilyn Steidinger. MY TRIBUTE TO F. T. H S. Opportunity knocked and 1 opened the door, Then into my heart this rhythm did pour. A tribute to F. T. H. S. I must bring And praise of its teachers I joyously sing. I hey helped me acquire what I sought to attain. I heir skill I admire and shall seek equal fame. I'll regret when my three years shall turn into four, And cherish each memory now and evermore. Don Broquard. 28

JUNIOR Cl ASS HISTORY September 2, in the year of our Lord, Nineteen hundred and forty, fifty-seven Freshmen entered upon the premises of the Fairbury Township High School to teach the teachers as well as the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors how much we knew. It’s surprising how much one forgets from the eighth grade to high school. It is also surprising how slowly they responded to our treatment, but how much more quickly we responded to theirs. Our Freshman year was a happy one, as we took active part in all the activities of the school. Year number two was not less enjoyable, and we are now making a huge success o four third and Junior year at F. T. H. S. In our three years at Fairbury High our class has been well represented in foot- ball, basketball, and baseball. Along with our athletic heroes, we are proud of our cheerleader, Shirley Moser. We have contributed time and talent to all the organiza- tions of the school, and have done our best to keep them at least more alive than dead. In the past three years our class has decreased by the loss of Verne Dawson, Betty Bittner, Donald Doran, Robert Friedman. Bennie Kiger, Norma Loy, Richard Mowry, Margaret Miskell, Betty Sears, Stanley Tagg, Harvey Traub, Wilmer Stork, Ethel Mae Kaisner, Gene Knopp, James Schove, Dorothy Wells, and Robert Williams. We are proud of our contribution to the performance of “Hollywood Bound” and of our Tri-class play, “January Thaw.” 30
