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.

-'-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.

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.

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.
