It is a time to take stock of assets gained and to dream dreams of future conquests. And the unknown trail upon which you note enter should not dishearten you. hut rather stir your spirit to the utmost: for there is ever a guiding star to point the way. This is the ideal held up before yon during the four years in which you hare wrought so nobly, the ideal of Duty honestly and fearlessly done, bar some of you the path may lead through fields of honor and renerwn; for others, in the common. humble 'walks of life. It matters not. The only question Eternity asks is—Hare we been true to the ideal.9 B. B. Baker. B. 15. Baker.

W e were told before we began our task of making Senior Steel that it was so very necessary that the finished product lx- of the best, because each one of us would have a great part to play in the machinery of the. world, so therefore we were told to he sure that every alloy and all minor substances be removed l eforc turning it out into the finished product. •'—In the Freshman process of the experiment we use the first eleven of our materials by placing the crucible over the Fairfield High Burner and slowly and carefully heating it. Mr. Stuckey carried the first steps of the process to a conclusion. S—After a lapse of three minutes the process was again heated, this was the Sophomore stage. This time the Crucible was heated under the direction of Mr. Clements (who was also the Football Coach) hut wc had less luck in the second step than in the first because just at the last it boiled over, losing several of our treasured materials. J—Again after the same lapse of time we placed our old materials from the step before in the Crucible and gave the job of our supervision to Mrs. Pratft and this time to aid in the process we used as a catalyst a few more of our materials. Just as the process neared conclusion we found to our sorrow that several of the materials had not reached the desired stage so they were separated from the Juniors and re-heated before going ‘on to the last process known as the Senior. .V— Again in the last process our four last materials were added along with the remains of the old material and were put into the Crucible under the guidance of Miss Cannon, and with a few exceptions Senior Steel was completed leaving as the product, substances of the truest metal and as a by-product, pleasant memories and many honors.

When they told me I must prophesy I wondered wlmt to do. Kor I am not a prophet ny more than one of you. For day and days I wondered— Passed many a sleepless night. While my mind roamed in murky depths Or soared the shakey heights. One night as 1 lay sleepless Mourning o’er my fate. A slowly shambling figure Paused before my gate. It paused and seemed to ponder Then started to pass on. A sudden Hash of lightning Showed the little elf had gone. Hut what was that before me A gleaming crystal ball. Laid on a purple mantle A ball and that was all. Though I was l adly frightened I gazed into the glass, And there to my amazement I beheld a comely lass. Why it was Margaret Hartman Dressed to Ik- a bride. Her classmate Burns McLendon Stood proudly by her side. Indeed this was quite odd But more odd yet to me. The preacher at the nuptials Was my old friend James Lee. Dimly to my vision Rose the face of every guest. But one of them was plainer More familiar than the rest. It was dear old James I lardy But now a man of power. Still he hadn't lost his failure For he munched a candy bar. The scene in the crystal shadowed And shifted to new sights. Willie Lee Mayes on a soap ho Was asserting woman’s rights. A girl lloatcd into the picture I'd never mistake that grin, But she had wandered far from home Louise was a Paris Mannequin. Roderick Southall the modest We always termed him meek. Dashed madly by on a camel A Hollywood Arab Sheik . lie stopped bci rc Bedouin tent Where Miss Lindsay strolled proudly out. And Ben Lively the hard-boiled director Sternly ordered them both about. Kd. Syx was down in New Orleans Serving a dainty dish. He drove through every alley Shouting loudly tish! fish! fish! Hazel Drummond was a nurse In a great big baby fold. Where she taught them all her baby talk And guarded them from cold. B. C. House our student Never broke the Golden Rule. He wore great horn-rimmed glasses And profited in a medical school. It was circus day in Boston A big day for the town. Barnes short-changed the audience And Whitson was a clown. Ttrrmly-foUr ■The C RIG 113 LI' 192 6 Senior Class Iropbecj Nate Kstroff was a Imotlcggcr And a mighty good one too. For lie holds to the Scotch at a protit What more could anyone do? The Rirls all started marrying Hut for Joe that wouldn't do. She played golf 'till she lost the hall And now she's married too. 1 saw the Senate G)amlH:r In the town of Uncle Sam, Stunned by a speech from old Kay Hodd A senator from Alaham. Gladys Green was a spinster Without parrots, dogs, or cats. She traveled almost everywhere Selling Paris hats. Bernard Holm sure loved himself. My, what great conceit. He's breaking rock at Sing Sing To give the guards a treat. I.ticile King studied hard And thought it out with care. Now she's grafting ocean waves To permanently straight hair. Clyde tried almost everything But nothing seemed to do. So lie sold snowballs to Fskimos And made a living too. From a married man or a football coach Bill Horne had changed his plans. And now I see him before me A proprietor of a hot dog stand. On the stage in a big theatre Minnie Lee has drawn a crowd. As an opera singer she’s won great fame And made us all extremely proud. Raymond Anderson was hashful But he didn't lose all hope. Now he's a traveling salesman Selling ivory soap. Bonnie set her heart on Giles Ami she was very smart. For though he tried to ilv the coop She had him from the start. B. C. Dandridge liked to cat So he started a hotel. With F.dna for a waitress lie's doing very well. Sara Mac our old classmate Who studied day by day. Is now an editor of a joke lnx k To drive the blues away. The shadows had grown blacker My room was inky night. But the mystic, silvery, crystal hall Was shining round and bright. A sudden dap of thunder And the night was bright as day. The little elf was before me But the glass had dashed away. Dear Miss you’ve seen the future Of your friends who are so near But your own future I withhold You must not see or hear. It you should know what is to come The things that are to Ik . You would lose half the joy of life In future years you'll see. He vanished in the empty air I could scarce believe it true. But he’d left the, purple mantle I can show it yet to you. Lots Moi nter.

Twenty-fit e The CRUCIBLE 192 6 Cast Will an6 Ocstamcnt We, tlit most handsome, humorous and enlightened Senior Class of Fairfield High School, being in a dignified state of mind, do make and declare this to Ik our Iasi will and testament. We, the Senior Class, leave to the Faculty and Student Body our good will, success, jov, and happiness. In addition, we as individuals, will to our favorite successors as follows: B. C. Dandridge bequeaths to Prank Paffe all his good looks so the citizens can forget the Evolution Trial. Minnie jx leaves to Virginia Sawyer her art of blushing in class. Louise Brown leaves to Elizabeth Poster her ability to wear clothes. (files Duncan wills his neatness and quietness to John Studinka. Nathan EstrofY leaves his voice, so effective at football games, to Earl Lewis and requests that he accept position as cheerleader. Edna Pant's cry of pay your money!' is left to the secretary of next year’s Senior Class.

The l eaut of a sunset. a landscape, and of all nature is free for the seeing. Some one has said: “You may have the land but the landscape is mine. We can pay for pleasures and luxuries, hut we cannot buy love; licauty, and virtue. We can buy palatial homes and extravagant furnishings, out wd cannot give gold for peace or for happiness. For happiness dwells within our own bosoms, and is the reward of honest, simple self-expression, with consideration for the rights and happiness of others. When we try to make others happy, in a simple way. tin- act is a boomerang which comes back to us many times multiplied. Some ignore the beauty «.f the simple things of life in the futile search for “the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and come to the end of life's journey to find disappointment; realizing that they have postponed living and have left life behind them. A woman whose life Inul been embittered by much hardship and disappointment, was strolling, one day, through a mountain farmyard. She did not know where she was going, and did not care. She just wanted to forget, if but for a moment, the bitterness of her life. Site stopped near a well and gazed angrily around her. wondering how there could be so much peace and quiet In a world that held nothing but turmoil and heartache for her. Suddenly she glanced toward the ground. A tiny girl was watching her intently—a little girl who had lived all her seven years in the untutored expanse of the mountains. The woman was annoyed, and she did not hesitate to show it. What arc you looking at—what do you want? she demanded irritably. Instead of returning the frown, the child smiled and stepped a little closer. I was just thinking how pretty your face would he if it smiled instead of frowned. she answered. The woman's face relaxed. The latter look in the eyes vanished and was replaced by a bright, new light. The scowl Iwcamc a grateful smile, and with an impulsive sob of purr joy. she knelt down and drew to her the little girl who had been the first in a long time to return her frowns with sincere smiles of friendliness. nd when she finally left the child and returned to the exacting conventionalities of the town, she was a nobler, better, and finer woman. It was beautiful, the simplicity oi that child. It triumphed over the bitterness of a woman who had known years of education and worldliness. It brought happiness into a heart that had tasted of all life's pleasure —and found them empty. All too often, in our search for happiness, we miss the happiness that is close at ha ml. We sin uhl not reach for the stars, hut should find l cauty in the simple things that are everywhere around us. Some writer has said: It is common things that quench thirst, not rare things; ordinaries. not luxuries; not palatial houses, hut a home: not royal wine, hut water. Good health, kind friends, encouraging words, loving deeds, duty done, heartaches healed, a grasp, a clasp, a kiss, a smite, a song. . welcome—these are the beams that bring summer into the soul ami make us lighthearted and free and glad. Live simply then. Enjoy the present moment. Do the duty next to you. Speak the kind word waiting to he spoken. Do the kind deed tarrying to l c done. N’ever will you pass this way more. Never will you he privileged to sec this particular spot again. The next time you come by, it will Ik different. Something will Ik added; something will Ik? wanting: something will be changed. Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply; expect little; give much; sing often: pray always. Fill your life with love. Scatter sunshine. Forget self.. Think of others. Do as you would be done by—these are the tried links in contentment's golden chain. R C.

Miss Lola Clarke Club “Prophecy As I was on my way to the swimming pool I was wondering what I should write for the Promethean prophecy. But suddenly I forgot the prophecy because the water never looked so Itcautiful and harmless. A wild desire seized me. a desire to do something I had never done In-fore. Without thinking or waiting a second, fearing my bravado would leave me, I plunged in. I felt the water close in over me. It was delightfully cool. Down, down, I went and then still farther down. Why didn't I come up? I had always longed to be able to die and come up gracefully with a calm and composed expression which Ida Margaret DcArman always has. I felt my downward speed increasing. Suddenly it seemed as if a thousand little hands grasped me. I opened my eyes and saw climbing ail over me hundreds of the most beautiful little water nymphs, more licautiful even than they are pictured in fairy talc . Some of them formed rings and began to dance around me. We have captured you and taken you to our kingdom under the sea” said one, “and you shall never go back. Oh. hut I can’t go. because I have to write the Promethean Club Prophecy, I said. But we will show you the real prophecy and not the make-believe one. said one about one inch tall. They led me on and on. to a beautiful castle. I began to cry but all at once a big door opened and an old lady appeared. I looked up in surprise as I recognized her to be no other than Mary Cookson. She -.aid she was keeper of the fairie’s castle. They then took me through beautiful streets into a beautiful building where in big lights was written, “Mine. Marion Morris. I walked in and to my surprise little Marion was singing in her beautiful voice and I remembered she got her training in old F. H. S. The house was a beautiful opera where she had gained fame through her wonderful voice. The nymphs carried me down to a beautiful swimming pool and whom did I recognize but Louise Brown dressed in a golden Itathing suit, and acting as life guard. I smiled as I remembered how well she could swim ami dive in Elisley Pool. Ml at once 1 seemed to I in Paris. I walked in a licautiful building and there stood in a licautiful gown our own dear Promethean President, Virginia Lindsay. I talked to her and she said she was a Parisian model earning a thousand dollars a week on her looks. I then remembered what a pretty model she used to make in F. H. S. In the next room I saw no other than Ruby Lively. She said she was a Parisian Toe-dancer and earning money galore! I smiled as I remembered what a grand dancer she used to be! All at once I hear music! I walked in the room and there sat l ois Mounter playing on the piano for Ruby to dance. I talked to her and she said she got her start in dear old F. II. S. playing for Mr. Stuckey in chapel. I went further down the hall and whom should I meet hut Fdna Fant and Myrtle Cald well. They had married multi-millionaires and were living together in the most licautiful house I had ever seen. Myrtle had married a Woodall and I don't seem to remember Edna's last name. I went on and I came to a large sign which read: Lucilc King and Gladys Sessions Beauty Specialists. I walked in ami saw standing there Bonnie Frost and Elsie Brown waiting to Ik treated. I smiled as I saw how pretty they were and knew the beauty specialists suited both. All of a sudden I saw the best dressed lady I ever saw in my life. It was no other than Miss Clark, our dear leader. She said she had married a multi-millionaire and never intended to teach school any more in her life.

Founded primarily for the recognition of scholarship in an obscure private cndcmy. Soon Schools in all sections adopted the idea. Accordingly a committee of Secondary School Principals met and took up the matter. But thinking that election to the Honor Society ought not be based on scholarship alone, they added three other fundamental requirements: Character. Leadership, and Service. At a Inter meeting oi the Committee the constitution and the emblem were adopted and the first National Council formed. Vs a result of their efforts we have our present National Honor Society. Who would not l c justly proud of being one of the few chosen by such a high standard. In reality there are only a few. for not more than 15% of the graduating cla s may be members. When a High School is granted the right to confer membership to the National Honor Society upyu a student, not only is the student honored, but the school itself is complimented, for only when the school has attained a certain rank, is it given the privilege.

Odom Mr. Wm. Wkenn Dr. Seymour Hall The Athletic Association has been functioning for four years with 1925-1926 as her hanuer year. Before this year the Association lias been limited to students and faculty of the High School which generally included nearly one hundred per cent of same. A small fee of fifty cents per semester constituted the mem-U-rship fee, which admitted the students to all games played on our home grounds. Every member of this Association proudly boasts of his colors. Purple and Gold, and gladly has he cheered the Team onward thru many a victory. This year the Association has been fortunate in listing as Honorary Mem-Uts, many of the finest professional and business men of our town. These men liccaine Honorary Members by virtue of having contributed five dollars ($5.00) ii the Association. Every High School student holds in high esteem these loyal Honorary Members because they have meant so much to our organization. Then, too, we added another feature to our Association this year. The Advisory Council. I his Council did more than look after our finance, they gave us publicity of untold value. It was this Council that made the trip to Tuscaloosa possible, at which time the City of 1'airfield moved on wheels 1 way of a special train to the Druid Cite. Then again, it was this Council that arranged for the grand Parade to Bessemer on that eventful Thanksgiving morn when our Thin Purple Line swept Besimeroflf the map. ('airfield High School loves and honors each member of this Council and we live in hopes that we may have the honor of their services in the future. Sixty-fonr •The CRUCIBLE 192 6 Coach Captain Manager football From obscurity to champions in one year. That is the title of a thrilling toot-hall story written in the annals of sj ort by the greatest team in the history of F. II. S. Unknown, unhonored, and unsung the old team that brought to us our first taste of glory have hung up those togs which carried them to victory and tackle. On marched our hoys to victory, but the greatest victory of all was when we trod ole Bessemer Hi into the soil to the tune of 6-0. Our Inns who made all-conntv first team were Ben Lively, quarterback; Jim Hardy, guard. Those who made all county second team were Tony Holm, fullback, and John Phillips, efeat. Our team made a grand success of the season just closed, but it was not without the scrub. Readers let me put a word in your ears: scrubs make football teams; coaches make football i ams The scrubs and Coach were two of the outstanding factors in the team's success. They gave all they had and yet did not share in the glory of the team victories. They are the work horses and deserve untold praises. Sixtyfn-t The CRUCIBLE 1 926 nun Ben Lively—Quarterback: .lit. Captain Ben was there with the old tight and pep. He was a natural horn leader and lighter. Ben has played his last game for F. II. S.. but he has given his all: so wc take our hats otT to you, Ben. and wish you worlds of success. Bill Hokne—Halfback; Captain Bill Horne, Captain, was there with the old lighting spirit. He never gave up even when the battle was against US. Bill has completed his four years this year and we wish him luck in college. Ton v Holm —Full bock Hit ’em hard and watch ’em fall. That’s why we put his name in the Mall of Fame. Tony is a pile driving piece of furniture and was high point man for our team for every year that he played. May you gain as much ground when you start out in life. Sap Walker—Halfback John was one of the most reliable men on the team, lie was a lighter from start to finish. He returns next season for more work. F. H. S. vs. Simpson The F. H. S. Fleven. as its First opponent of the season, took Simpson Hi. Fairfield displayed great skill in the attack and defense. The highlight of the game was Bat Lively’s 35 yard run around end for a touchdown. Johnston was the outstanding man on the offense f r Simpson. Datulridge’s touchdown by a forward pass for Fairlicld was another highlight of the game. Score F. H. S. 21—Simpson 3.

He was a man who was new to the game, but showed the fans that he was there with the Roods. K A Y MON tl AN'DKRSON— •'tillback Raymond had the all-reliable toe that sure did come in handy in the Bessemer game, wild) he laid his one hundred and seventy pounds l chind that sphere in the last quarter of the Bessemer game and sent it out of danger. Jim Hardy—Tackle Hardy was a man of might. He was good enough to make All-County first team ami good enough for F. 11. S. Fatty Phillips—Tackle: Captain elect. Fat was there with the poundage, treated cm rough and laughed at ’em. He has been elected to lead the team next year. F. H. S. vs. Jefferson County Jefferson County was our next strong opponent. VVc met them at Fairfield on a muddy field. The outstanding run of hc name came when Rav Hood for F. H. S. snatched the oval on the kickoff and lugged it up to the fifty yard line. The hall Seesawed hack and forth most of the first quarter. In the second quarter came the only score of the game when Tony intercepted a pass on their thirty-yard line and scampered thirty yards for a touchdown. Score. Fairfield 6, Jcffco 0. Sirty-fight BlLL WIIITSOX—11,1 It husk Whit hud the speed but lacked the weight. He was a very reliable backlield man but coubl. if necessary, play end. He was most necessary to the team's success. Ky ■ Rav Hood—End. Hooligan was one of the best ends in the state. He qualitied for this distinction by being a deadly defensive man and a good man on the offense. “B” Dakiiriuck—Hud B was a fighting piece of human mechanism. He was one of tin- 1 cm defensive men in the county and always gave his best for the team. This year was BV last to wear the Itirplc and gold. Clyde Kimbroit.I!—Guard Old Brough was a steady playing fellow, not flashy, but reliable, lie came to us this year, hut we really thank the person who sent him. F. II. S. vs. Tuscaloosa Fresh from our victory over Jefferson County, we hooked on to a rattler and took half the town with tis to Tus aloost. scene of our only defeat. We kicked off to Tuscaloosa and they carried the ball down the field to the 15-yard line. John Suther was their great star. He started them to victory when he swagged a 30-yard pass on our seven yard line on the fourth down and then plunged over for the initial marker with just tour minutes to go. They completed a 50-yard pass for the next score and then Captain Homers intercepted a pass and was downed on the 5-yard line from where he kicked it over. F. H. S. 0—Tuscaloosa 21. Sistf-nin? ■r i e C R U C I B L K 192 6 Edwarii Mosey— Halfback Grandma was another speed demon who played end or in the backficld. He was a fellow who always had the Roods. He will be- 1 ack next year we hope. Lion Woodall—Center Leon Woodall, the best center that ever snap| cd a pigskin lack and that’s saying a lot. Our hats are off to the righting demon that takes care of the center of the line. Douglas Sellers—Guard Sellers was a fighting guard who gave his all for the team. He was a green man. hut showed great possibilities. We expect great things from him next year. F. H. S. vs. Bessemer The most glorious game of all. Bessemer High School victors over F.nslcy Hi. (State Champ , of last year) was met and defeated on Thanksgiving morning at Bessemer. If ever a team put out all they had for their Alma Mater. F. H. S. Football Warriors did. Not a man. but eleven lighting devils defeated Bessemer ( -0. Tony intercepted a forward pass, but was called hack for Hood had roughed a Bessemer passer. But Tony got it back in the second quarter and plunged over the line for the touchdown that defeated Bessemer. Let’s all give fifteen for that ole team that put such a glorious game on the right side of the ledger in bringing the season to a close. Seventy The CRUCIBLE - 192 6 Coach C'np tain Manager baseball W e started off the season with a new shortstop and two untried pitchers. Barrett and Brandon were two fellows who seemed to he set for a good season, especially Brandon, hut it was Barrett who upset the dope by defeating Bessemer, Jones Valley and all the rest that he met up with. A lot of credit goes to the team Ixxause it was the only team in the county to defeat the C hamps. Jones Valley. Credit is due to Pony Holm (Captain) first baseman and slugger dc luxe. John Walker got more hits than any other man on the team. Ixrwis made a fine job of short-stop position. He did an awful task in filling the shoes of Carl Mcl-aughlin, former star. Dandridge was as good a manager as any one could wish for. Bailv was a fine player, a regular fly-hawk. The whole team trained faithfully as the results show. We rated second in our division of the league and hope to lie first next year with C'apt. Walker leading us in the fight. We lose only two men—Barrett and Brandon. Coach i responsible for the success of the team. He worked hard and faithfully and turned out a good team.

W e lost to Oak Grove, a team which proved to l e one of the winning teams to go to Montevallo to the State Tournament. Next year we hope to have a still stronger team. Only one girl is graduating, many of the girls on the team are Freshmen and that will leave Fairfield a good team for the next few years. We also have good new material of freshmen for next year.
