Tonight the royal palace of Demi-Dictator Dye of Dyspepsia, tHayl Dye!! was the scene of a gala celebration at which the Dictator celebrated his third year in power by sponsoring a reunion of his graduating class of 1942 of Fair- field Community High School, Fairfield, Illinois, USA. Surely everyone is familiar with Dictator tfondly called El Garlicob Dye's thrilling story,-his marriage to adventuress Kathryn Koontz, his political struggles, and his rise to power in the State of Dyspepsia, South America, as the irst democratic-dictator in the world. The magnificent royal palace here in Hyde Park, the capitol, was elabor- ately and beautifully decorated for the occasion. Red and black streamers hung in all the rooms, white roses islam flowery were everywhere, and all sorts of cards and banners carried the old class motto, Push, pull, or get run over! lEl Garlico must have been confused on this point.J In the greeting line at the palace were the familiar faces of many of Dyspepsias leading men and women. Among them weze Field Marshal William Haynes of the DDOIIS KDyspepsia Department of Official Internal Information and Stufflp Commiscar Stewart Meinsohn, former state architect but now Com- missar of Billiard Halls and Bowling Alleysg Commissar Meinsohn's wife, for- merly Miss Judith Zimmerman, of the Dyspepsia Propaganda Ministryg Major- general Lowell Mauck, collector of taxes, tariffs, revenues and match book coversg Admiral-in-chief of Dyspepsia navy Max Atkinson and Lady Atkin- son, formerly Miss Betty Elliotg and Technical Advisor-General Robert Dan- iels and his fifth wife, formerly Miss Dorothy Musgrave. Everyone cheered when at an appointed time during the celebration all guests assembled in the royal chancellery where many honors were conferred upon the sons and daughters of Fairfield by the government of Dycpepsia. The first award was a medal from the Spanish Athletes of Dyspepsia to Dr. William Frankel for throwing the bull. Special mention was also given the doctor and his nurse-Wife, formerly Miss Midge Borah, for their work in curing Linton- the lungs tresulting from chewing the ragl and Spring-fever. Their latest work has been in collaboration with Dr. and Mrs. Willis Crooks Cfonnerly Miss Dorothy Brown! of Jeffersonville, Illinois, who are seeking a Sugar-cure for Sourpusses. Although all such attempts have as yet resulted only in sugar dia- betes, the doctors are not discouraged. Comedian Marshal Kenshalo, widely known as the Bob Hope, Mickey Mouse, and Three Stooges of his day, was awarded the covetedbtitle of Colonel in view of the fact that he is .so corny. Fred Haegele, famous cattle breeder, was honored for his pioneering in hog- 130318, a now popular sport. Mr. Haegele has been breeding the long-legged hogs necessary for this sport. Mrs. Haegele, formerly Miss Margaret Tribe, was given honorable mention for her pioneering in the sport of hog-calling. Ex-Admiral Max Simmons of the United State: Navy ww commended for de- vising the now famous Simmons Super-Suction Dry Cleaning Bathing Method which has brought happiness to thousands of people. As everyone knows, the Admiral was forced to resign from the Navy because of his allergy to water, -W-1-v-I--f--vy-,--H ..Y.. .,.-.-rv-N -fl. . We l1.... - THE REFLECTOR 'H-'H'- SENIORS FREDA M.

He remedied this by de- vising the dry-cleaning method of bathing. The exquisite music for the celebration was furnished by Hallams Hashers, nationally famous dance band conducted by Earl J. Hallam. Among the music maestros were Helen Chappel, jug playersg Wayne Thacker, wash- board playerg Fred Boze, pianistg and his Wile QMiss Lizzy Bonnerl, saxophone player. The song hit of the evening was one which took Mr. and Mrs. Boze two gears to devise,-the Unfinished Symphony set to Boogie-Woogie. Singers for Hallam's Hashers were Martha Mann and Freda Bruce tknown in the radio world as the Burlapp Sistezsh, and baritone Red Knodell, rising opera star. Stars of radio, stage, and screen, actor Donald Medler and actress Lucille O'Leary, both irom the Catarnount Studions of Wormwood, California, were very popular at the celebration. 'Ihey were accompanied by Russel Terrell and his wife tforrnerly Marjorie Simpson? also of Wormwood. Mr. and Mrs. Terrell specialize in the field of facial makeup. They entered this profession while still in high school where they were notorious pan-handlers . Many of the old schoolmates were dreised in the uniforms of Uncle Sam's fighting forces and came from United States outposts all over the world. From Berlin came Brigadier Verlyn Burkett and his lecturerer-wife tformerly Miss Wanda Gaitherl. Mr. Burkett is head of salvage and reconstruction work in Berlin. Mrs. Burkett reecntly finished a lecture tour in the States where she won geat popularity with her famous eisay App1eauce,-It Started With Eve '. Also from Berlin came Pilots Philip Pike and Fred Puckett of the Air Corps. Pilot Puckett was recently grounded for six weeks for chasing rainbows while on air patrol duty. Major Jack Copeland, Lieutenant-General Cloyd Cravens, Commander Charles Carter, and Captain Russell Shockley flew to Hyde Park from Tokyo where they have been stationed since they took the nip out of the Nipponese. The United States Navy was represented by Commedore War- ren Cable, Rear-Admiral Ira Musgrave, Commander Jack Vaughn and Captain Olin Hodge. Commodore Cable and Captain Hodge are in submarine service, -a suitable branch for such deep men. Lady of fashion, and eminent designer of ladies' attire, Edythe Rheay, made the trip to Hyde Park with her three models, Freda Thompson, Grace Fraley, and Freda Dawson who are known as The Patriots in the modeling world because of their hair. Freda T's hair is still red but Grace's turned white long ago from worries so Freda D. dyed her hair blue to complete the trio,- hence the name The Patriots . Naturalist Max Barnard, his wife, tfozmerly Miss Betty Ryanb, and fam- ily made the trip to Hyde Park from Point Blank, Alaska, where Mr. Barnard has been studying nature at first hand. His latest book on nature is entitled Fuzzie Wuzzie Was A Bear , in which he sheds new light on whether F'uzzie Wuzzie was fuzzy ', and also debunks old theories on how much wood a wood- chuck would chuck if a wood-chuck could chuck wood . Almost a whole business corporation was present at the celebration in the persons of Miss Wilma Miller, ms Leatrice Lemons, Miss Dorothy Grove, Miss Doris Haegele, and Miss Maxine Grubb. These ladies, discouraged with married life, fthey have all been married at least twice and some tive times, but are all divorced nowl banded together and, u.:ing what they learned in Home Ec and Bookkeeping in High School, formed the Dandy Candy Co. Inc. of Fairfield, Illinois. They have been very successful but say they prefer maffied life after all S0 Single gents,-here is a chance to lead a sweet life! The Class of '42 seems to have turned out several talented song writers. -1- ROSE ADA SANDERS B.

Ben Roundtree, and his secretary, Miss Marilou Nesler, flew to Hyde Park from New York City where Mr. Roundtree is the manufacturer of Roundtree's Run Remedy,-beneficial for hose. Several of the girls of the class have become beauticians, and good ones at that. Mozt of them, Grace Mayer, Rose Ada Sanders, Marian Lane, Mildred Musgrave, Margie Sanders, and Louise Gregory, have graduated from the 1e- nowned Bennett Beauty Culture College founded by none other than Miss Jaoquelyn Bennett. As all beauticians of today, they belong to the A. S. A. A. A. B. C. tAfTiliated Society of Amalgamated Association of American Beauty Ciulturists and Beauticiansl, founded by Louise Gregory. The class of '42 has produced some very outztanding athletes. Two, or rather three have starred in baseball, these being Kenneth Blackford, Harold Hammil, and Russel Wilson, who are on the most famous baseball team in the Western Hemisphere,-the Jerks from Albuquerque,-managed by the one and only Bob Chiz Friedman! Blackford pitches, Hammil is at first, and Wilson recently won the position of bat and water boy. Another very prominent athlete is our old friend Bob, better known as Slaughterhouse in the fight world, Johnson, unchallenged overweight medium light-Weight champion of the world! Miss Doris Smith and Miss Pat Lensgraf had to go only three blocks to attend the reunion. Miss Smith B the United States Ambatsadress to Dyspepsia and Miss Lensgraf is her personal secretary. They are both married and have families but prefer their maiden names in professional Work. Still carrying on the oil industry in Wayne County are Neal Laws, Ho- hert Kiger, Fred Veatch, and Ladown Farra. Kiger and Veatch are roughnecks land we do mean roughnecksl and Kiger and Farra. are drillers. Neal was a driller but it seemed as though he couldn't strike oil, so, on the suggestion of wifey lformerly .... Aw! You know who!J he began thinking of some other branch of the industry that he could enter. I-le couldn't think of any so made one. He began pulling up dry oil wells, cutting them up and selling them as post holes and has been doing it ever since. There ls quite a demand for these post holes and Neal has amassed quite a fortune. Robie Fearn's Nursery and Kindergarten in Fairfield was suspended for a week when Robie and her helpers came to Hyde Park. Robie has worked in several such institutions but was not content until she had one of her own. She has Alioe Grubb, Mary Hensler, and Jean Miller helping her. This trio teaches the kids to play in the sand piles and knock down tin soldiers. They also lull the kids to sleep when night rolls around. A most famous statesman present was Sen. Paul Gurley, who is still carrying on for the Bundles for Congressmen Pension Plan. Miss Naomi Hat- lett accompanied the Senator from Washington. Miss Hatlett was postmis- tress in the Senate until recently released because she was suspected of tamper- ing with the Senate males. IM:-zybe she lsn't Miss Hatlett anymore!! The problem of how to transport all the old class-mates from the States to Dyspepsia. was solved when Charles Hicks offered to fly them down in several of his planes. Mr. Hicks owns the Hicks Airplane Plant of Fairfield, lformerly Chefford Master Mfg. Co.J. Mr. I-licks has working for him M'ss Martha Smysor, Miss Jewell Wilson, Miss Betty Winter, and Miss Geneva A J 3 5351 '-l THE REFLECTOR ------' SENIORS MARTHA MANN FRED VEATCH Wheels G.A.A.

Our old friends Charles Walker and Forest Detroy are also working at the plant. Mr. Detroy recently resigned as President of the Tri-City CBurnt Prairie, Mill Shoals, and Bamhilll Subway and Transit Com- pany to be come a co-owner of the Hicks plant. Dorothy Hollinger and Wanda Water made the trip to Hyde Park from Ohicago where they manage the H 8a W Perfume Company. The ladies got their start in Do1othy's father's flower shop in Fairneld but turned from flowers to perfume and have produced many lovely creations. Their latest scent-sensation' is Sweet Essence of Cauliflower ,-- an odor you'll never forget! The newspaper world was represented by Mr. Viril Cunningham and Mr. Phil Martin. Mr. Cunningham and Mr. Martin are co-writers of the widely read and popular Vacuum Cleaner Column in the New York Times. Their motto is, We get all the dirt! Perhaps the happiest man at the reunion was Glen Piatt. Mr. Platt was inducted into the army several years ago but was retired on a pension after several months of service. Reason:-The army physicians pronounced him to be in a condition that only one person in one hundred million suffers from,- that of being too light for heavy work and too heavy for light work. Glen has a1wa5s dreamed of this but thought it too good to be true. After the banquet and the dancing were over, the old classmates wander- ed around the hall and talked about the good old days with old f-riendsg about the good times they had at High School, Gus's, The Lantern, and Jerd's. The reunion was a huge success. Everyone seemed to enjoy himself and all were reluctant to call an end to the celebration, but all good things must have an end. After singing the Red and Black , followed by a rousing Hayl Dye , the classmates of '42 hide farewell to one another and departed. -By Edythe Rheay and Phil Martin 'MM' THE REFLECTOR SENIORS MARILOU NESLER WAYNE THACKER Who Gets the Car Tonight?

JMJI '-'W'-' THE REFLECTOR SENIOR POETRY THE YEAR I think that out of all the year October is the best. It seems to me that all the trees In Sunday clothes are dreised. Just when I'm sure that it's my choice 'Iis then I think of May. The fields are green, the skies are clear. Such lovely days to play! December is a jolly month With Christmas in the air, With Santa Clause on Christmas Eve And snow just everywhere. Now on my mind there flashes March, With every wire and tree, All wearing coats of ice that look Like oiled-silk to me. For Painter God it take a month Upon His canvas-earth To paint a brand new landscape scene And give the world new birth. In all twelve pictures not one has The beauty of them all. The winter doesn't have a show Of flowers as the fall. Now which one really is the best? I'm sure that no one knows. I change my mind the thirtieth day Of each dear month as it goes. -Doris Smith. T0 A CAT Wee, scurryin', hurryin', little lady, Oh, what a panic's in thy haidie! Thou come a' flurlyin' into the ha' Wi' a' the newciel About our friends you tae us a' Bill, Kate, an' Susie! Your business own must gae neglected Till faults of ithers are a' corrected: 'Iill secrets deep have a' been shared You must say on! Till lives of ithers you have blared, Yes, ever' n' anon! -Max Barnard. BLAME THE TEACHER She bide us study fast and hardg We looked into the hall, Marlin explained in great detail: We wondered who'd won in ball. We listened to her patiently, We thought of something near, Like where we'd go, or what we'd do, Not of the poets, oh dear! She gave us tests, we wrote some words, With all our fingers crossed 5 We got our grades, we raized the roof, All hopes for us were lost! She went over, explained, and preached, We knew deep in our hearts, But would we admit defeat, no! Our eyes threw angry darts. She gave in, we took another test, We raked our brains in vaing We hadn't studied, how could We pass, So, she was blamed again. -Dorothy Musgrave. .,.,1 SPRING TIME In early morning when I woke, The smoke coils through the trees The boat lies idle on the lake, The leaves play in the breeze. I hear the song of the skylark As he sings to his mateg The blue jays and the sparrows dart Over the garden gate. The clear blue sky up above Is sprinkled with white clouds, I hear the song of the turtle dove As he sings long and loud. I see the rocks and zigzag paths, The rippling of the stream 5 The water rushes playfully Acrocs the woodland scene. When evening shadows begin to fall And I sit down to rest, The whippoorwill to his mate calls, The sun sinks in the west. -Doris Mae Haegele. ' ez THE REFLECTOR E'-'-1-' SENIOR POETRY ENGLISH IV Onoe upon a morning dreary, while I studied, worn and weary, Over composing poetry in our English IV. As I Wrote, erased, and rewrote While I frowned, and thought, and fretted, fretted o'er my English IV. T' is some poem, I muttered-for I had my English IV. Just a poem and nothing more. Ah, faintly I remember, it was getting near November, And each and every Senior, wrote a poem as before. For in vain I had tried to borrow fzcm my classmates of tomorrow Prose, blank verse, or poetry, poems for my English IV, For I found no rhyme or rhythm, in my poem for English IV. Only words and nothing more. -Jean Miller. THE MAN OF TOMORROVV A parody on The Man With the Hoe . Bowed by the weight of self pity he 188115 His head upon his hand and gazes down, The brilliance of all lmowledge in his face. On his imagination he believes, The burd of the world is on his back. Who made him dumb to problems that are real? A thing that leams not and never be- lieves? Who has designed and molded this weak spine? Whose were the hands that made his life easy? Whose was the brain that has done his thinking? Is this the Man the Lord God made and gave To build and lead our great and free colmtry? There is no shape on earth more wrong than this And none more useless to the human race. He is slave to little pleasures of life, And he is foe to all that means labor. Awake! O parents of America, How will the future reckon with this boy? How answer his futile questions that day. When he is forced to think and work alone? --Edythe Rheay. A HIDDEN TALEN T I think if God had meant for me To be a. gushing poet, I-Ie surely would arrange to see That I at least might know it. It seems that I would have an urge To write about things lovelyg But I don't want to write a dirge Or talk of stars above me. The stars are slivery, bright, and clear, I love to watch them shining, But alter that I sadly fear, The picture starts declining. Due to these facts, I think it best That I should not endeavor To put my thought in anapest, But leave them mute forever. -Wanda WHtErS. LEISURE With apologies to W. H. Davis What is this school, if full of care, We have no time to sit and stare. No time to sit within our class, To stare at the trees, sky, and grass No time to see the airplanes pass, Os see the dog-fight on the grass. No time to think in broad daylight Of the swell time we had last night. No time to watch the clock until It's time to leaveg so say we still- A poor school this, if full of care, We have no time to sit and stare. -GIHC8 M8.yET. A ' ,. . LA. L Aa WW THE REFLECTOR SENIOR POETRY Donald Medler's a regular guy Tho' he never knows when, where, or why. When he's called on to speak Theres not even a squeakg He says nothing lor fear it's a lie. I really wish lI'm sure you dol There were mole girls like Mariloup Her wit and charm, her ease and grace, Make this dull world a brighter place. I can see, can you not, too, What makes the sky such glowing blue? It's Judith's radiant beaming light, Reflecting like the moon at night. Wandas cute, I must admit, She has that undefinable it g She chatters on from morn to night. And seems to think the world's all right! -Leatrice Lemons. OUR SENIOR CLASS So in our modern Senior Class We dream about our future years, Our li'e we know it's not just fun And yet, we think not of its fears. 0-ir classmates we shall not forget When we are old and drink our tea, But even then, to tell the truth, We cannot know just what will be. The first, a girl named Robie Ann, She sure is fun and knows the way To get the grades we make our goal, And still has time to joke and play. Another girl is cute and short, She waves and calls to each and all: Her name we know you've guessed by now, Naomi, smallest of the small. A boy with hair as red as fire, Fe Weds fo' love, he's just plain Bill: Miss Marlin has no patience left When he is through with English drlfl. We must not overlook the tall, Elizabeth. with queenlv grace, She'll always have that quiet air Though she wear lavender and lace. The last, but not the least. by far, A Senior boy with eyes of blue. His name is common but not he. Young men like him are very few. -Dorothy Hollinger. THE DEFEAT OF A POET The melancholy day: have come, The saddest of the year, Miss Mazlin picked her pencil up- For there's no rhythm here. Stacked in her basket dry and cold, The poets dreams lie deadg They are the solitary thoughts Of some poor senior's head. He was a. worker, long and hard, His theme it was sublime, Mifs Mazlin poisoned all his hopes- I-lis poem wouldn't rhyme. I-le used the dictionary, the text, The encyclopedia, too, But even then he was aware- His poem wouldn't do. But then ,alasl He missed the thought! It should have been in rhyme, No matter how much we work or try, Miss Marlin doesn't mind. We work and work and get no rhyme. Nor do we get the feetg But as lou read, you'1l surely see Our educations not complete. -Betty Eiuozn. SCHOOL Though I have toiled all night and day And worked my fingers to the bone, I've miszed a Louis-Nova fight To study English all alone. Though I have stood out in the rain, Walked through the cold and snow and sleet, To find when I arrived at school Icicles frozen on my seat. Though teachers scowl from time to time, That is, from morning until night, Though I've been cooped up in spring' When the sun outside was so bright. Do you think I'd have this changed? Do you think I would if I could? Think you I'd want to leave this school? You can just bet your life I would. -Russell Wilson. - '- -' THE REFLECTOR -ll' SENIOR POETRY DREAMS Whatreasonwuldtherebe? Aslhavesaid, I'd rather dream than think. And though I've thought It did no good because I gained but nought. And then, as lively fancies through my head Insist on madly wandering, instead Of stately, staid, serene thoughts, I'm wrought To find I'm rather pleased. And I have sought, However much in vain it seems, to stead My flight of common sense, as does the night With great determination try to hide The stars' uneven journey from our sight, Thus all we mortals to our dreams confide What really lies beneath. I cannot write, But only dream, of things that lie inside. -Dorothy Brown. THE THREE SENIORS Three Seniors were writing their poems one day, Writing and working when their week had begun, Each hoped his poem would pass Ma.rlin's way But on Friday they wrote stillg no poem was done. for Seniors must write and Seniors must weep, Though there be no harvwt worth-while to reap, And Miss Marlinis warnings be coming! 'Shree poets kept writing till the lights w t out: They scribbled and marked the verse as they scanned, 13117. the rhyme was all wrong or the rhythm in doubt. Somehow those poems wouldn't work as they'd planned. For Seniors must write, and Seniors must weep Though iambic pentameter disturb a night's sleep, And Mis Marlins warning be numbing. 'Ih'ee semi-ghosts tumed in stories in verse The Judge took them, looked over the meter, The Freshmen oou1dn't do any worse, Or 'Ihere's one or two too many feet here. For Seniors must write and Seniors must weep, The pcor things died softly and fell in a heap, And Miss Marlin's warning kept humming. -Judith Zimmerman. - THE REFLECTOR i' - JUNIGR CLASS President ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,., ,..,,.,A, B ob Etheridge Vice-President ,,,,,4,,, ...,.,,,..,, Ha zel Harris Secretary ...........,..... ........

BAND The band is composed of about seventy members including part time and full time students. This is one of the best bands the High School has had. Probably it was given more notice this year, due to the fact that at public ap- pearances lt played chiefly popular music. This organization played at the var- ious entertainments and athletic events during the year. In addition, they at- tended two Music Festicals, one at Carbondale and one at Charleston 3 also par- ticipating in the drills given at the Homecoming Games of those two schols. CHOIR The choir is composed of sixty-live mixed voices. The following mem- bers were selected to sing in the All-State chorus under the direction of Noble Cain of Chicagog Ima Jean Staton, sopranog Genevieve Urban, alto, Bill Kno- dell, baritoneg Max Barnard, bass and Earl Rudesill, bass. They rehearsed in Urbana from Wednesday until Friday night, when they sang in concert for the State Teachers' Convention, November 7. The choir furnished the music for the Union Thanksgiving service at the Christian Church on Thanksgiving eve. February 7, the choir, conveyed by two busses, went to Carbondale where singers from seventeen schools sang together in a music festival. Again the conductor was Noble Cain of Chicago. At the Lincoln banquet, February 16, in the Methodist Church basement, the choir sang a fifteen-minute selection called Ballad for Americans , by Robinson and La Touche. The soloist was Bill Knodell. The Girls' Trio consisting of Ima Jean Staton, Ardyce Mulllnax, and Genevieve Urban, has sung many times this winter for various clubs and other organizations. The following soloists will enter district contest at Flora, February 28: Ima Jean Staton, Jlme Musgrave, Louise Hearn, Genevieve Urban, Bill Knodell, Max Bamard and Paul Gurley. The choir will sing there in contest on March 14. A spring concert will be given by the Vocal Music Department, in the gymnasium, April 10. i.M..M-i-1: THE REFLECTOR -..M..M..i-1- Mr. Phelps Betty Andrews Doris Ashbrook Carson Baker Lois Jean Banker Doris Barnett Carol Blades Ruth Boggs Elizabeth Bonner Dewey Bowden Eugene Brand Dorothy Brown Freda Bruce Gerald Burkett Barbara Dickey Ellsworth Duke Chuck E.

This organization is composed of those students who have taken one or more commercial subjects. There were thirty-nine members in the club during 1941-1942. The meetings were held once monthly. At each meeting an interesting program, consisting of current events pertaining to the business world, movies, demonstrations on businets machines and appliances, and discussions on phoper business ethics and etiquette, was given. Music or other rpeeial talent often supplemented the regular program. Each year the club sponsors some business or commercial project. At the close of the school year 1940-1941 the club awarded honorary pins to those thirteen students who were most outstanding in stenographic Work in high school. A .iimilar plan will be followed for 1941-1942.

Three men on the team gained extra merit for their outstanding play. Bob Etheridge, a veteran from last feason, was placed on second all-conference team, while Dale O'Neal and Bob Sanders gained honorable mention for all-conference berths. Coach Newton expects a successful season next fall with such men as Ra1 mond Grothe, Pat Belt, Nate Gray, Kenton Smith, :Carson Baker, O'Neal, and Etheridge returning to carry on the Hpigskin parade for dear old Fl'J.H.S. BASKETBALL TEAM Mr. Newton lClifford Elliott Bob Etheridge Glenn Piatt Nate Gray Ray Lee Warren Montgomery Mr. Parsons Paul Gurley Viril Clmningham Fred Puckett Cale Englebright Pat Belt Earl J. Hallam The basketball team reached a higher degree of success than did the foot- ball team. Bringing Coach Max Parsons from a' highly rated professional team, the .Mules gained a record of seven victories and twelve defeats. New life was given to the sport this year as Oapt. Earl J. Hallam, a senior entering his first year of competition, led the Red and Black to the second highest scoring team in the conference. Pat Belt, a transfer from a Kentucky high school, also sparked the team to its best record in three seasons. Veterans from last year were Glen Piatt, Cale Englebright, and Paul Gurley. A successful season is assured next year with Pat Belt, -Cale Englebright, Clifford Elliott, Nate Gray, Ray Lee, and Bob Etheridge retiuning to the team. In tournament play, the Mules were surprised by a fast Woodlawn team, which beat them in their first game of the regional by a score of 35-32. .Q ' ., 3 'fr A ' fr.. l f L Q ' Q ,V ' ' ' ' 59 5 311, F1 in Q., an 'S' l -:,3,,Q,f,:,. qv' it: -qi F HW 'qs - 1 ,fhf,, f'4- 2-wan of'F. f4fmv,,,-QQ '31 'z Q E ' N 5 i 1 E 5 4 1. ,flzjliii 1 Elliliiiiilig 41 i!' !Tl l!lllIIIIIIIIllIIlI.IiSlij',i 1k M gi! 75!!!!ll l!

Who were those lost and frightened little ones? Must have been the Fresh- men. And the ones who as they saw it, should have been running things? The Seniors, I suspect. 12. Election day. It had nothing to do with Rooseve1t's fourth term but was as important, for class officeis were elected today. 19. Mr. Newton rounded up his hopefuls at the very start of the school year, and soon the padded, ponderous plgskin pushers were pimting and passing all over the place. But Bridgeport proved nasty enough to put that iirst game on the wrong side of the ledger, 13 to 7. OCTOBER 8-9-10. Teachers' Institutes are very popular. All students agree that there should be more of them. 24. Old Fairfield grads flocked back for Homecoming, featuring a big bonfire and pep rally, crowning of the queen, and a football game with Flora. Some fun! NOVEMBER 5-6-7-8. The musical element of Fairdeld was represented at Urbana in the All-state chorus by Ima Jean Staton, Genevieve Urban, Max Barnard, Bi.l Knodell, and Earl Rudesill. 11. Armistice Day had a deeper meaning for high school students than for anyone else-we got out of school. 14. From the talent display ed on the stage here in the all-school play there will surely be many famous actors and actresges among the alumni of Fairfield Community High School someday. 20-21. Many turkeys gobbled their last gobble this Thursday. Friday was spent recovering fiom the day before. 28. Ma and Pa got a chance to see what readin', 'ritin and 'rithmetic have come to in recent years. Open House was a big success, especially the pro- gram which brought the evening to a close. DECEMBER 2. At least our basketball season started well. Our team beat Wayne City's 34-29. 8. By placing a radio on both sides of the assembly we all heard Rooseve1t's speech concerning the Declaration of War against Japan and its formal declaration by Congress. 23. Christmas was in the air today but not in the form of snow. It was rain- ing. Well, Merry Christmas eveiybody and so long until January 5, 1942. JANUARY 15. What we don't know about liquid air isn't Mr. Elliott James' fault. At least he tried to make us understand all about it. We even know how to make it. 22-23. Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise may be all right some- times but remember A little learing is a dangerous thingy D. ink deep or taste not the Pierean spring. The latter makes a better motto around semesters. FEBRUARY 12. If only there were more famous men whote birthdays are celebrated with a national holiday. 23. Today will be remembered long by the students of F. C. H. S., because it marked a decided change in boy's hair styles. The Crew cut is now very popular. 24. 1t's too bad our last basketball game of the season could not have been an overwhelming victory for us. 26. This morning when Mr. Sanford spoke to the asfembly, he gave us a motto that he wanted each of us to follow. It was I will be consistent. Throughout the remainder of the day he gave vocational guidance to - THE REFLECTOR - '- --l 2. Juniors and Seniors. Didn't he know that most students are consistent? They never study. MARCH Who got the car-Dad and Mom, or Son? This didn't need to be thrash- ed out tonight because they could come together. It was the Parent-Son banquet for F.F.A. boys, you see. APRIL 3-6. All the girls were given a chance to display their new Easter bonnets 10 8 15 22 24 29 25 during the vacation we enjoyed from the third until the seventh. A Spring Concert by the music department was the attraction tonight. MAY The Hedy Lamarrs and Clark Gables of the Senior class had their chance to strut tonight in the senior play. A fiesta ln Mexico City could not have been more colorful or gay than our own Junior-Senior Prom. Awards were made at the Class Day program to those who deserved more than just a diploma. Yes, each of us will have to admit we were sorry to see our high-school days end. For that reason Baccalaureate services were a trifle sad. Proud Papas and fond Mammas with their minds filled with great dreams for Junior's future attended the commencement exercises. -26. Seniors, except those who didn't made the required C or failed to blarney their way out of a blue slip, got a vacation while the rest of us were fuming OVCI' CXBUIS.

THE REFLECTOR W'- FUN 84 FEATURES WAYS OF THE WISE To know how kids will turn out just ob. er-ve when they turn in. Most gills hope that when Cupid shoots his arrow he Mrs. them. A girl can be very sweet when she wants. Maybe daisies don't tell, but orchids speak lor themselves. It is better to fall up the study hall steps and give the impression that you are in a hurry to study, than lt is to Iall down and give the impression that you are in a hur-y to get away. A tack on the chair has put many a good man back on his feet. If those big mouths that talk about other peop-le all day long were used in making recitation , there would be more names on the honor roll. It is about as hazd for a rich man to enter heaven as it is for a poor man to remain on earth. Statistics prove that women live longer than men--which goes to show that paint is a good preserver. It isn't too hard to live on a small salary if you don't spend too much money txylng to keep it a secret. Kising a girl nowadays leaves its mark on a man. With the advent of radio the num- ber of unpopular tunes has increased by leaps and bounds. Sorry to say that many a bad egg has gone unbroken. There are only two classes of pede- strians-the quick and the dead. Betty Elliott: Who was Talleyrand? Marilou Nezler: A fan dancer, silly. And cut out the baby talk. Mr. Newton: Bob, tell me what's the difference between the North Pole and the South Pole. Bob Friedman: Shucks, all the differ- ence in the world. After he kissed you three times- then what?

ART OF COMPUISING Once upon a day so deary, While I was in English four To my ears came this, Now dearie, You will write or be no more. While I pondered, Weak and weary Over Wozds I had before, I had a thought it came ao clearly, And then did vanish evermore. First my mind would think of English Then I'd glance up at the doorg In came teacher with a swish And the thought would be of yore Can it be that I'm too stupid, Or is teacher just too mean- I don't want to write of Cupid Like the poets I have seen. Like a flash a thought came to me Like a bird on silver wing, Of the sheep herding in the valley, Of a maiden about to sing. To me it seemed so light and lovely, So beautiful, I wanted to shout, The only thing that bothered me How was I going to get it out? -Marjorie Simpson A-CLASS This senior class in Fairfield High Will never be outdoneg I've never seen a bit of work Out of a single one.
