Fairbury Cropsey High School - Crier Yearbook (Fairbury, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 84 of the 1954 volume:

1 Foreword As anyone will agree, a story without an end would be useless to read. However, if it were a continuation of a long story complete in itself, a collection of the stories would be worth saving for years to come. That is what we, the annual staff, wish to do with this edition of the Crier. It will be just one more chapter in a long history of F. C. H. S. We hope that in future years students will look over with pleasure the memories this book contains. Crier Staff FIRST ROW, Left to Right: C. Lemon, R. Thomo , D. Nussboum, Mr. McNeil, Advisor, P.
