Id THE CRUCIBLE. Class History In the year of 1926 wc. the memtars of the graduating class, came into the Fair field High School. We felt important, but our upper classmen soon changed our minds. Wc learned we were only a load of raw ore ready for the Melting Hot and the Pot was all prepared for us. T he first year we were poured into the Melting Pot with mathematics, history, science. English, and Latin. After being melted and mixed with these ingredients we were poured out as Sophomore ingots. During the Sophomore year we had more mathematics, history, English and other ingredients rolled into us. W e were then rolled into the Junior year. For another year we were squeezed and mashed into shajK . Wc had many flaws and had to Ik rolled day and night. We were ready for the Senior Class by the end of the third year. The fourth year we were all sent to Miss Lee’s finishing mill to Ik trimmed and straightened. We have had all the Mathematics. English, History, I atin, French, and Science that we can have. Miss Lee is bumping, shearing, and straightening us into finished rails ready for shipment out into the markets of society. We are soon to Ik a finished product. All we need now is the stamp of our instructor's approval. T11URSTON S PEA K M A N.
