The Bantam Class History Four years ago Fairfield High School came into existence. It was a great feeling to all f us who graduated from Grammar School to know that we would he the first to enter the Fairfield High School, ttcforc this time, all High School pupils had been going to Ensley High, or elsewhere, but now we had begun a high school of our own! There were only a few pupils to begin with, but they con tinned to join us. W e assembled at the Fairfield Methodist Church in September, 1921. We felt very dignified as we walked up the church steps and saw the teachers standing in a row. with their hands behind them, looking at ns. and wondering what kind of pupils we would l e. We heard a great lecture that day about our High School life, given by our Superintendent. Mr. Graves. Afterwards we met at the temporary building which is now the Gate l.odge School. It was there that we began our great High School career. The building was not a fine one. but we enjoyed our school days there just the same. During the first year there were no athletics of any kind, no clubs, nor any organizations. During the Sophomore year we felt more important because we knew there would be some green Freshmen coining into High School, and that these pupils would know less than we. We organized this year two Literary Societies, which every one enjoyed being a member of. It was during this year. too. that Mr. Stuckev came t » be our Principal. He began at once to organize Athletics. A football team ami a baseball team were organized. It was also during this year that we were fortunate in getting as a coach for Athletics. Mr. T. W. C lements of the University of Alabama. He has been a great success here in making Athletics an essential part of our High School work. It was a great day to us when the new High School was completed. We entered our new building in 1922. It was in this year that we were given a teacher for training hoys in Mechanical Drawing and in Woodwork. W e were also given a teacher for Home Economics. During the latter part of our Junior year we were feeling our importance to know that we would son he Seniors and were realizing how fast Fairfield High was growing. We had a Supervisor of Music this year. She took a great interest in us. Glee Clubs were organized, both for the boys and for the girls. The orchestra also became an important feature of our high school. Our last year at Fairfield High School, we are glad to see. has been a great year for us. Fairfield High has made a record in Athletic.- this year that everyone is proud of. During the last four years the enrollment has increased from seventy-five to about) one hundred and seventy. ow as we are about to receive our diplomas, from Fairfield High, we wish the following classes the greatest success throughout the coming y ears, and that each member of the Senior Class may soon reach his goal in life, and be a great success.
