-'-1'-' THE REF LECTCR CALENDAR - - 1941 - - 42 SEPTEMBER 2. 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
