Attorneys-at-Law, J OANN JONES BURL PRICE Witnesses: Gene Howey, President Bill Green, Vice-President Winston Montgomery, Secretary-Treasurer QIDGXJ SENIOR POETRY AN AFTERNOON IN F. C. H. S. The shrill bell rang throughout the hall, It echoed in the room. My heart it bounded as I flew For class, and none too soon! Miss Marlin cleared her throat ifor mel? And class began at once. My thoughts that were across the hall- Made me, almost, the dunce. The fifth, the sixth, the seventh, the eighth, The hours go crawling by. My mind is everywhere, but school, As I gaze into space with a sigh. Ten, five-a few more left to go And then day will be gone. Although this learning is so fine, To me it is too long. -BARBARA RECTOR ODE TO A STUDY HALL SEAT Break, break, break On thy cold, tan seat, O Me! And I would that my tongue could utter The thoughts that arise in me. O, well for the taxpayer's boy That he squirm with pain that way, And many the girl who thought she had A misplaced corset stay. The teacher glides grandly on To her seat overlooking the hall. Though our back break, legs cramp, arms ache, We must not protest at all. So break, break, break, From your foot to your head, O Me! Though I sit there and take it, I wish I could make it. A little bit softer for me. -GENE HOWEY SENICDRS.. Leona Beard Commercial Club Pep Club Typing Medal Herbert E.

We thought all there was to do was just to sit back and take lite easy. We would be a Senior only once so our only worry tfor a while? was to be dignified and re- spected. It didn't last long and was it sour! The teachers really piled the work on us. They said, You'd better get to work and not loaf another minute or not one of you will see Commencement Day. You talk about speeding upg boy, this takes the cake. It seems the more work we do the more they give us. All of us are so busy we don't have time to eat a square meal. I'll bet when school is out, we'll all have to spend the summer recuper- ating from this awful catastrophe. Our minds are over-worked, and if we go to the nut house, it wouldn't surprise us. The teachers have no pity on us poor Seniors. It is just slave, slave, all day long without a minute's peace. Where are you going? I wouldn't do that, You can't leave this room until you've finished your work. My, my, Grand- mother was slow, but she was eighty-five. Your I Q is less than that of a Freshman in High School. You Seniors act as if you were snails, slinking down the hall, heads drooping, when you pass be- tween classesg it reminds me of a funeral process- lon. When we were Freshmen, oh how green we must have been-going into the wrong rooms and saying the wrong things. We were so scared we didn't know what to do. Everyone kidded us about being green. The teachers didn't see how we ever got out of the eighth grade. We were so bewilder- ed we almost flunked the whole year through. The semesters were so hard we were shaking in the knees when the first semester was over. How would we ever pass the next one? Barely made it this time! What a relief! We will do well to pass all our subjects our first year. How we'll make it the next three years, no one knows. We don't think we're green but every one else's opinion is just the opposite. We almost cried over it. Our Sophomore year we looked toward the brighter sic.e of school. We tried to study a little harder, but the teachers told us we should still be Freshmen. Didn't they teach you this or that in Grade School? What did you learn in Grade School? Not very much, it seems to me. Always telling us we didn't spend our time the way we should. In the study hall we surely had fun, the first six weeks, then the teachers moved us to the place where they could keep an eye on us. If we talked too much, it was up on the front seat for us for five days. Our Junior year we were a little more respect- ed by the studentskbut not the teachers. They still told us they didn't see how we managed to get this far. They insinuated that in order to save our last teachers any more grief and worry it was best to pass us. At the rate we were going we'd never learn anything to help us out. The only thing we work hard at is trying to get out of work. Then came our mournful day. You must write a poem, it must be original and on any sub- ject. Be sure it is in iambic pentameterf' Oh, my, what will come next? Maybe the English teacher will ask us to write a novel. If she does, it wouldnt surprise us in the least. Boy, our Senior year really costs money. I think companies use the Senior year just for an excuse to make money-for rings, class uues, pic- tures, announcements, and anything for another dollar. You must get measured for your caps and gowns. Why one ever has to wear a paraphernalia like that sure gets me-especially in the last part of May when it is so hot, and a tie that makes it even worse. Wearing a neck choker in hot weather -that beats anything I have ever heard. Then we have to listen to a big-shot tell his philosophy which he probably heard from someone else-tell his life experiences back in the horse and buggy days. We surely will be glad when the last day is over and all this fuss, hurry, and scurry is over. We all probably will go out and do good hard labor in the long run anyway. School, to us, never did do any good. -IRA JETT SENIGR PCDETRY .PARTING YEAR OF HIGH O my dear class of forty-six, Your friendship round my heart entwine, Where e'er I go, what e'er my fate Your contacts will be always fine. I know not what the future holds Because this is the atomic ageg But through the years I will be bold As I reflect this glorious page. Although I'm eager to go forth The larger things of life to start, Though I go south, east, west, or north, This year is precious to my heart. -DOLORES ATKINSON EN GLISH IV While I sit in English IV class, I remember saying in my Freshman Class, I swear I will take English never more. But here I am in English IV. Miss Marlin makes me study When I had rather play rummy. Shakespeare, Tennyson, they are all dead for ever more So is English IV. Now Miss Marlin, don't be mad, Incorrect English I knowg but I am so sad You make me write this little Verse, you know Just because I am taking English IV. -OPAL LEE DOYLE SENIOR POETRY A POETIC CREATION Today I have to write a rhyme, I don't know what to say, At work I've been for quite some time, At least for one whole day. I've racked and racked my poor ol brain, Until I'm almost mad, My mind is overworked in Vain, A verse I wish I had. A thought has come to my dear mind, I'll write about the moon, A night in June, when I shall find Someone to make me swoon I'll write about that lovely day, With teardrops in my eyes For all my friends will laugh and say, She'll wait until she dies. This masterpiece has got to end, Just how I do not know, This done, my business at an end, From this sad work I'll go. MDORIS WHITACRE. MY WONDERS OF THE WORLD While on the banks of some calm stream, My wandering thoughts go fleeting by, It seems to me a pleasant dream, To linger gayly 'neath the sky. The trees o'er head are full of joy, To hear the mighty wind rush past, Upon the hill a playful boy Is looking at blue skies o'ercast. So on this earth I think it wise, To live all days just as they come, To love all beauty and to rise In faith of man till earth be done. -DENNIS RAMSEY FLYING 'T'he sun is shining out today And all at once I sigh, Because I see an aeroplane Away up in the sky. But watch someday and never fear When I'll be out of English IV3 Then I'll go flying o'er land and sea As I've never done before. -DELORIS KAYS DON'T GET AROUND MUCH ANYMORE Someday when I am all grown old, When life has shown me to the door, I'll sing a phrase of an old song, Don't get 'round much anymore. It hurts, but then it's sad but true, No more for me do school bells ring No more the bawling out, the bore, Oh true, don't get around much anymore. I ran the halls, but tripping fast, Heart, head full of school-day plan and plot, Of cute smart sayings, jokes and such, Of Senior's problems, they hurt me not. No Phelps to plague me with the name, The rightful name of Eleanor, Oh, but to bring back youth and fun, To get around fast just once more. -EUGENIA TIIEOFANOPOULOS BRA INLESS I've tried so hard to think Of just a little rhyme, But every time I start to write, I have to stall for time. But Time waits for no one, It passes you by, So I stop to think and rack my brain, And have another try. But no matter how hard I may think, My efforts are all in vaing So the only answer must be That I don't have a brain. -ELSIE SIMPSON MY SCHOOL Because this is my school, I love it! The typing room with its click, click, click, The assembly room with its memories, A thought of leaving just makes me sick. Because this is my school, I love it- Home Economics where I learned to cook, The gym where I cheered for the Red a About it all I could write a book.

'A 'Tis the director, I mutter, rapping for the music score- It is this and maybe more. Now the cymbal, loud and clanging, bangs the accent once again, Filled me-chilled me with fantastic tremors I had felt before So that now to catch the tempo of the song, I stood rebeating, While the snare drums syncopated the theme of the music score. The director raised his baton for the tempo loud to soar. That's not all, for there is more. Instantly my beat grew stronger, hesitating there no longer, Then again I heard the cymbals clanging louder than before, And the snare drums in Crescendo rolled on to grand forzando, And the percussion all in unison swept on in one great roar. Then suddenly it was silenced by the fine of the score That is all-there is no more. WAITING FOR SPRING Oh, you must know how hard for me To wait till it is spring, To know at last that winter has gone, That joyful I could sing. I want to see the grass so green, .And Easter flowers so brightg I want to hear the Robin sing Of joy with all his might. The winter winds are getting warm, The frost is leaving fast, The snow has gone, the grass is green, And Spring is here at last. -DOROTHY ATTEBERRY TEACHERS' PETS We kids at school are getting worse- So all the teachers say, They really dread to see us come, They're glad when we're away. They say they try to understand, And over us they broodg They call us silly Jitterbugs , And think we are quite rude. But with our fads and giggly laughs, We really aren't so bad, But thinking of those teachers' sobs, It really makes me sad. -MARIE BAIN SMILE A smile will help an awful lot, When some-one's feeling blue, To brighten up their path of life And maybe help you, too. To be polite and courteous- It isn't much from ou y . A smile that comes straight from your heart- What wonders it can do. Perhaps your part will help to bring Life's joy along their way So make life's journey easy trod By smiling as you may. Just look at all the happiness Life brings and takes awayg So if you will and know you can, Smile now and every day. -LaDONNA. CRAVENS -ELOISE RINKEL SCHOOL DAYS With stalwart heart and hopeful soul, She entered high school's world She weathered storms of Latin forms That mighty teachers hurled. She laughed at sociology, And Math she scorned the most, A history book is good for someg I'm writing mine, she'd boast. Grades didn't bother her too much. A's, E's she liked all sorts. She might have reached the honor roll If grades were made in sports. In study hall she had her snacksg Of course she copied some. She fell asleep, slipped from her seat, And always chewed mint gum. Her notes were read aloud to prove Scholastic crime won't pay. She learned to know her teachers, for She stayed in every day. Four years crawled by, her time was served At last this wretched creature Decided she could never be A Fairfield High School teacher. -SARAH BOGGS WORLDS A world at war or a world at peace, What will our answer be. A world with love or a world with hate In time we soon shall see. A world of good or a world of bad, What will the solution be? A world of peace and love and joy, Sometime I hope to see. -DESSIE JEAN JEFFREY. EPITAPH When dead and gone from F. H. S. Please tell Mr. Holt I died a messy Put my geography on my head, Tell Miss Stierwalt I'm glad I'm dead. Please put my typing o'er my feet And tell Miss Stoltz I've seen defeat.

L odonna Cravens gl: N Qi iiyifiyiilyii CHOIR The choir was organized this year with a record enrollment of 81 members. For the first time in quite a while there was an abundance of tenors, a fact of which we boast, because few choirs of even larger numbers can say this. Bill Green was elected presidentg Carolyn Bestow, vice-presidentg and Jack Funkhouser, secretary and treasurer. Within the Choir are some very good organizations. There are an excel- lent boys' glee club, a very fine male quartet, consisting of Gene Howey and Jack Funkhouser-Bass and Baritoneg and Bill Green and Dale Smith, lst and 2nd tenor. The soloists are Eleanor Cable and French Tickner. The choir first sang for the Southeastern Teachers' Association, which was held here. At Christmas the choir gave a small program for the high school. The next appearance was in Carbondale as part of the huge mass chorus assem- bled in the auditorium on the college campus there. It was the annual choral festival held by the S. I. N. U. Music department. We were unusually fortunate in having Peter D. Tkach, famous choral conductor and composer from Minneapolis, as guest conductor. M1. Tkach is also associated with the Christinsen Choral School. The school buses were used to go, and everyone enjoyed the day land I might say nightj The quartet and soloists participated in the contest held at Herrin on March 2. French Tickner placed first in the solo group and Eleanor Cable, third. The quartet was second. All will be entitled to attend the sectional contest. Again this year, as last, the music department hopes to have a spring concert. The one held last year was a grand success. Mr. Floyd V. Wakeland of Carbondale was guest conductor from Carbondale College. He also furnished some soloists which he brought from the college. The choir, which includes, for the most part, voices other than senior voices, has excellent possibilities for 1947. BAND.

Just before Christmas the boys met to nominate new members and elect officers. Winston Montgomery was elected president with Fred Harris as vice-president. John Wardell was later chosen secretary-treasurer. The Constitution and by laws of the 596 club state that there must be 20 members and that any member caught gambling or smoking on the school grounds, defacing school property, or doing anything else to disturb school shall be punished by a heavy fine. If any one person misses three meetings, he is dismissed from the club. The new members were initiated in the traditional manner. Wearing dresses, smeared lipstick, onions and hot milk, became a part of the routine these boys had to go through to be a member. The 5'ZJ club has plans to buy a memorial plaque containing the names of alumni killed in this war. The club also intends to buy a trophy for outstanding work in athletics. Each year the name of the noteworthy player in football and in basketball will be engraved on the trophy. COMMERCIAL CLUB President ................. ....,...- .................

Miss Stolz The main objective of the club is to produce a business atmosphere for a business back-ground which will create interest in the daily classes. In other wordse, the com- mercial club should prove to be a motivating factor. The student is encouraged to study the developments of business, to become business-minded, to become social-minded, to develop high standards of scholarship, and to learn to appreciate the value of good business ethics. The social aspects of the club should not be neglected, but they should not be overemphasizied. SCIENCE CLUB..

Its pur- pose is to promote good sportsmanship at all athletic contests and to contribute to the social life of the school throughout the year. The athletic banquet held in the spring is the major project of the club. At this time all letter men, cheer leaders, and coaches are guests. Membership in the club is open to any high school girl who is in sympathy with its purposes. Dues are one dollar per year. Points are given for attendance at meet- ings, athletic contests, and prompt payment of due. These points are used as a basis for determining the ten girls who are awarded Pep Club letters at the annual banquet. Highlights of the year's activities were the Christmas party and dance held for mem- bers and their guestsg the all-highschool Valentine dance at which Pat Mietzner was elected Valentine Queen: the initiation for new members in Februaryg and the athletic banquet held in April.

Dorothy Kayes Miss Bracli The state organization of the Girls' Athletic Association is celebrating its twenty fifth anniversary this year. The local association was started in 1934. Before a girl becomes a member, she promises to uphold the ideals of the Girls' Athletic Associ- ation, by promoting interest in athletics in and the out of doorsg by living so that she may be healthy and strong: by making good sportsmanship a constant factor in her conduct. The members sell candy and chewing gum at the football and basketball games, and check coats and hats. Half of their profit is given to the Boys' Athletic .Associ- ation. A mother-daughter banquet is given each spring, and the officers elected for the next school year are sent to one of the three G. A. A. camps. In former years mem- bers have gone to the camps at Alton and Bloomington. Banquet and camp expenses are paid by the organization. PEP CLUB..

In order to be a member of the F club this year it is necessary that the boys have a C average and also be a major letter winner in basketball, football, or track. The club, consisting of twenty-four or twenty-five members, is trying to set up an example in the eyes of the public. To do so, the club has passed several new rules this year. Members have to pay a fine if they are late to school, skip school, or are late at the meetings. Years previous to this, there has been a Junior F club, but that organization is not functioning this year. BASKETBALL 'l'he 1945-46 Mules were the most successful in the history of FCHS, winding up the season with a record of 28 victories as compared to only 6 defeats, and winning the championship of the North Egyptian Conference for the first time since it has been organized. The only loss in league play was to Olney. The players who played the largest part in bringing the title to Fairfield were Wm. Wilson, Gene Wood, Donald Riggs, Jack Walton, Bob Elliott and Richard Martin, plus timely help from Jack French, Bill Garrett, Bill Mathes and Dale Felix. The only two players who will not return to join the 1946-47 squad are Wilson and Riggs. Ira Jett was again manager of the team and entered a few of the preliminary games. Coach McDowell Martin crowned his achievements as mentor by bringing to FCHS its first conference title in basketball. He was ably assisted by Bill Glenn, Jr., and too much praise cannot be offered these two men. His philosophy is to give the game all that's in you, but play it clean and be a good sport, regardless of the outcome. UF!! Ira Jett James Langdon Fred Harris Bill Barnett O. B.
