Senior Class of Twenty-nine. How swiftly the years have gone hy, Now we arc ready to finish school And here arc the reasons why: To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield Through the years our motto has Ix'en. We've learned to love one another And to l� c friends to all men. We’ve striven to prove ourselves worthy l:nto God and unto man. We've sought for only the good things And have, learned to say, “1 can.” We've found friendships, joys, and pleasures— Things that make life worthwhile. We stored up golden treasures To direct our after lives. We've not yielded to temptations That have strewn our paths and ways We've thought of this good motto Through all our high school days. Let's take our motto with us That Life's Purpose may be fulfilled To strive, to seek, to find. Yes and not to yield. Mary Elliott. T irrHtysiei 1929 T HE CRUCIB L E Class Tfistorv Wc, the members of the graduating class of 1929, began our High School career four years ag« . Our dignity, which we felt upon coining into High School, vanished as we liegan to realize that wc were only metal for the Crucible, and not the finished product. c learned that the Seniors were the rightful owners of the word dignity, and that wc were mere little Freshmen. As time wore on. we began to build air castles. Wc dreamed that wc would be Seniors in four years and then wc could Ik dignified. We studied hard to make our dream come true. The glory of being a Senior pushed us on. The road, at first, was hard; hut, with the aid of our teachers, we were able to make the grade. A year jiasscd swiftly, and wc found ourselves Sophomores. Wc took a greater interest in the school activities because we felt that we were more a part of the High School. Our Junior year came. Wc had worked hard and knew that wc were nearing the end of our High School days. During this year wc entertained the Seniors at a banquet. After this, wc felt that wc were truly upper-classmen. After a summer full of good times, wc entered our last, and perhaps happiest year of High School. At this time the school had grown so large in numlicrs that it was necessary for us to have a mw building. We were proud of this new school, and happy to l c the first class to graduate ftom the new Fairfield High School. To prove that we were proud of our new school, and that wc wished to have a good Annual, the Senior Class and Crucible staff sponsored a play. The play. “Here Conics Arabella.” proved a great success and brought us enough profit to print our year liook in a iK-ttcr way. We have spent four years full of beauty, happiness, and wc hope, usefulness, in our dear old Fairfield High School. We are through with the lK giniiing. and beginning the end. The background that the last four years in High School has given us. has made us more eager to go on through life, with a greater desire to Ik a success. Now we arc out of the Crucible; each is a finished product of Fairfield High School. To the Seniors of next year we leave our elassr«� oiii and dear Mrs. Pratt. Be theirs to uphold the class and our beloved teacher. Wc are leaving now. but the memory of our happy high school days will linger on. Ida Margaret DeArman, Class Historian, 1929.

I am sure that each of you arc glad t«� have the opportunity of seeing your old schoolmates and to hear al� out what has happened to each one of them since that memorable night when we graduated from old I . II. S. As the secretary calls your name, will you please tell us anything about yourself or your old classmates that will be of interest to us? Secretary: Mary Elliott. Mary: As soon as I finished. I went in training at the T. G I. Hospital, as my greatest ambition has always been to ! c a nurse. Mary Frances Muck and Jessie ShatTner joined me three or four months later, and I think they will agree with me that we have chosen a vocation which really serves humanity. Secretary: James Harrell. James: Harold Crain. James Densmore. and I went through college together. YVe all three were lucky enough to make the college football team. I hiring our senior year, we received some offers that were so good we decided to make football our profession. Probably you have read of us in the sports columns. Secretary: Glenn Green. Clean: Perhaps yon remember that while we were seniors, the shoppe of Augusta Friedman went into bankruptcy. By the aid of several influential friends. Mary Fancy and 1 were able to purchase her store and open a French Modiste Shoppe. Mcathcl Minor is one of our most attractive manikins, and she can testify as to our success. Secretary: James Newbold. James: Most of you know what Frank and I arc doing these days. Since the days of Josephient and “I’topia in high school, we have Itad a weakness for tinkering with auto- mobile.'. This has resulted in the garage in Birmingham in front of which hangs the sign: “James and NewbohL ’ Secretary: Josephine Archer. Jo: My training under Miss Woodall has stood me in giwxl stead. I am now secretary for one of the largest insurance companies. 1 have heard that Nannie Kooncc and Sarah Leo are following the same profession.

Louie: After finishing college in Birmingham, I decided I wanted to write for a newspaper. Perhaps my being an assistant editor of the Annual at old F. II S. gave me the idea. I have bummed around a lot. but I am now on the staff of the Chattanooga Times and think I'M stick. I.addle Alvcrson and Jack Atkins are deadly rivals of mine now as they arc reporters for our competitor, the Chattanooga News. Secretary: Mary Lewis. Mary: Isabelle Sellers.

Susie W ALKI-.K, Ru HARD SEMESTER VII ADDRESS Three years and four months ago our class brought into this school a new spirit, conceived in loyalty and service and dedicated to the proposition that all Should pull together We are now Seniors and shall soon be tested as to whether this class, or any class so trained and so prepared can long endure. We have met to carry out the program of this school, Wo are working to dedicate our services as Seniors to those who will soon take bur places. It i altogether tilting and proper that we should do this. In a larger sense, we will co-oj erate- we will serve—we will obey—the faculty of this school. The other classmen. Freshmen and Sophomores, are struggling here and. it is our hope, will l c able to achieve what we have attc opted. The school will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what we do lure. It is for the other classmen, the Freshmen and Sophomores of Fairfield High School, to uphold the standards that have thus far nobly advanced. It is for them to undertake and successfully fulfill the great task yet before them—that from these passing Seniors they take the devotion to that school from which we are graduating: and that they highly resolve to make Fairfield High School a great school. That Fairfield High School may continue to be the best high school is the wish that is made by Semester VII, • � f Semester VII. and for the coining Semester V ir , and |� v this wish you know that loyalty shall not perish from Fairfield High School.
