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. Tterntf-rizH
