Time out. Music from a shell. EBB TIDE It was a perfect day, May 2, 1959, for the Junior Prom that was held from 8 to 12 P.M. to honor the gradua- ting class of 1959. Our class had selected as the theme of the prom, an underwater scene, which we appropriate- ly called, Ebb Tide. The theme song of the prom was the song by the same name. After many hours of hard labor we saw our dream finally come to a reality. The dancers beheld a complete false ceiling representing the waves overhead. Sparkling fish, sea horses, and star fish could be seen many places throughout the room. Tables at which the dancers were seated were octupi, lighted candles, and balloons decorated with painted Mermaids. Music floated to appreciative ears, from a giant sea shell located in a far corner of the gym. The Biglerville High School Dance Band furnished all the music. Refreshments, also made in accordance with our theme, were served from a large underwater rock by a few selected Freshman girls. Students and teachers were ushered into our aquatic wonderland by Neptune, God of the sea. We believe that none who attended, Ebb Tide, will soon forget this important dance which is one of the outstanding events of our high school life. 29

'60 FAIRHIAN STAFF Working diligently, the Fairhian Staff gave many hours of hard work in order to present to the Student Body of Fairfield High School its 1960 Fairhian. The Staff was made up of two main bodies: the business staff, and the editorial staff. The purpose of the business staff was to sell the books, sell ads for the book, and to do the general financing of the book. The pur- pose of the editorial staff was to do the actual putting together of the book, such as the pictures and copy. Members of the staff and our whole class want to thank Mr. Bechtel, our yearbook advisor, for a job well done. He labored with us many times, assisting us in important matters so that we could make our deadlines. We realize now that we could never have completed our yearbook successfully without the aid and cooper- ation of students, teachers, parents, and friends. .-zv wi , Deadlines! Deadlines! Money!

PLAIN ENGLISH Our Junior play, Plain English, was presented in October, 1958 and directed by Mr. Bechtel. ln this spoof of college life, fraternity initiations were involved, and Bill Anderson found himself with the most impossible stunt of all. The problem: to get Laura Carter to go out with him or surrender to his fraternity brothers. That sounded easy enough but Laura was no ordinary girl, but rather a studious and serious sophomore who spent all her time with her unattractive girl friend Aurelia. Both, vowed to have nothing to do with men, but to become mathematicians. When Bill found this out, he decided to call it quits, but Laura 's sister Ellie and her sidekick, Ruthie had other ideas. All he had to do was pretend to be her pen-pal, Hubert Montleray III. Bill re- sisted but finally agreeded to the idea. He assumed a weak Brit- ish accent, fooled Laura, and promptly fell in love with her. Laura thought Hubert had left town, so Bill was afraid to show up as himself. Ellie and Ruthie helped make matters worse by getting two of Bill 's frat brothers to also impersonate Hubert. Finally the real Hubert sends Laura a telegram and she rushes off to meet him. This only made matters worse for Bill, but as the plays ends every- J thing comes to a happy end, and Bill and Laura are together.
