Fourteen ’31 I HE CIKIICIItLE SENIOR CLASS POEM Well 'tis known that when once started Kverything must have an end; Be it work or play or study. On that fact you can depend. So it is with high school students, To us the rule docs well apply; But the end is crowned with glory, Graduates of Fairfield High. We began as do all freshmen— Timid, bashful, ill at ease, But we labored till we had The mighty Atlas on his knees. While we toiled we also grew To know the joyous side of life, Kver smiling, ever happy: We learned to bear the toil and strife. Now we’ve reached the day we’ve longed for, ’Tis a great day for us all— When we step forth from dear old Fairfield Leave its grand and stately hall. Still to us there comes a feeling That we'd like to linger yet— Spend a few more days in Fairfield In the school we’ll ne'er forget. Thus we come to take our parting From the school wc love so well; ’Tis so hard for us to do it— We pause—but yet wc must—farewell. Dokothy Gray Skllkrs, Poet t.?i Fifteen CLASS HISTORY In the school year of 1927. there entered into Fairfield High School a freshman class of seventy-nine pupi s. It was undoubtedly the best class that has ever entered. Statistics prove it and Mr. Cook has said so. The boys of the class suffered from initiation but the girls escaped this trial. This class learned the technique of high school, rosins, schedules, and teachers three and seven-sixteenths times as fast as any other freshman class of Fairfield High. The class passed on into the sophomore year with a loss of only twelve members. At the same time a seedy lot of freshmen entered school. They were terrib'e. They didn't know a thing about the school. (It is up to the reader's judgment what the class of '32 knows now.) At the first of the year elections were held. He %ausc the boys’ session room was smaller than the girls, the boys planned to vote a male ticket. However the g’r'.s’ session room had decided to vote a suffragette ticket and the election was worse than that of Hoover and Smith. The class was very loyal anti bought so many annuals and tickets that they established a record for all similar classes. The junior year was ushered in by the new school building. The class was in mutual concert with the other students. All would rather have walked three blocks to sit in the new auditorium than ten feet to struggle in the old. The class was now really entering into school activities. The most strenuous work it undertook was trying to pass Miss l.ee’s English class. Future classes should take note of this as they will also lx- put to the test. In the latter part of the year the Juniors were greatly honored in having the august Seniors as guests in the annual banquet. The year passed on and the class entered into the Senior year. They had come to the height of dignity, knowledge, and power. They even learned to do their business by committees, just like the Senate which Mr. Cook Ind told them about. The class worked hard and enthusiastically to print their annual. To this end everybody gave his support in trying to make “The Goose Hangs High” lay a golden egg. With this the c’ass of 1931 ceases to have a history, and begins to have a present. Thus they give their heartiest good wishes to the future classes of Fairfield High School. NELSON VAN TOI..

WITNESSES: BERTIE BAKER ATTORNEY AT LAW: RALPH HOOD ’31 Seventeen - --- ■ I8� CII1ICIIILE PROPHECY Time: 1950 Place: Vienna Character: Roy McAllister My, I'm tired. That Ruhcnstein Concerto almost got me. It's a good thing the reception after my concert was called off. I’m afraid that I would have failed to show up. Just think, tonight nineteen years ago, I attended the Senior Dance. How I wish I were back in old Fbirficid—back with the old gang—Grace, Sarabcll, Fat, Ralph—not with them as they arc today—great lawyers, doctors, engineers and so on, but with them as they were then. Oh to be back in the old Fairfield— not the present town of two million—but as Fairfield was then with eleven thousand. Oh, we had a wonderful school that year. The depression may have hit us hard in many ways, but not in school spirit. But, as Mr. Cook said, we were an exceptional group of young men and women.” What faith Miss Lee and Mr. Cook had in us. telling us that if we failed in our life’s work, it would be our own faults that caused our failure. Mr. Cook predicted great things for us. That presents a good idea. Where is my Crucible ? Of course I have it way over here in Vienna, for, you see, I do get homesick. I get a lot of consolation from just looking at pictures of the old gang. Here’s the dedication—Dorothy Sellers wrote that. Even then Dot showed signs of being something in the literary world. There's the faculty. Shall I name them? Here are the Seniors—Juniors—Sophomores and Freshmen (poor creatures)—but here’s my soaring achievement—the prophecy. What hours of agony (for my mother) these two pages represent. But some of my prophecies were pretty good. I'll just name them over in alphabetical order to you— John Baker, an editor. (That was a good guess. He’s now the editor of the New York Times.) James Blomclcy, a lawyer. ('Silly of me. wasn’t it. What could James be but a real estate man?) Rolfc Brandt, a noted violinist. (Wrong again, Rol fe is now one of America’s most brilliant architects.) Archie Campbell, an electrical engineer. (O. K.) Donald Elwcll, an actor. (Sure enough. Donald turned out to be a Broadway favorite.) Elvin Gardner, also an electrical engineer. (I missed that one. Elvin turned out to be a commercial teacher.) Matt Gilbert, an aviator. (Bad! Matt became Donald’s partner on Broadway. He and Donald, and of course Wm. Porteous. now own the largest theatre in New York.) Ralph Hood, a noted violinist. (Could I have guessed wrong. No. Ralph just played a series of concerts here in Vienna. He’s the same old Ralph.) Terrell Hardman, a great commercial artist. (My I must have had an inner vision with some of these.) William Lewis, a lawyer. (Yes, and is he a famous one?) M. C. Lindsay, a chemist. (O. K. He’s now as famous as Doctor Talton.) William Porteous, a minister. (Another incorrect guess, as already stated he owns a large theatre in New York.) James Stuart, a mechanical engineer. (What a guess. He’s now a big preacher.) Oscar Threadgill, a baseball player. (A good guess.) Nelson Van Tol, a college professor. (Half right, half wrong. Nelson wrote a book with six endings, letting one choose the ending he likes. It won him international fame as an author.) Dan Waite, a hanker. (Of course.) Henry White, another mechanical engineer. (What made me get this one right?) Clyde Wilson, a doctor. (He’s now head of theT. C. I. Hospital.) Now the girls—of course there aren’t so many famous girls as there arc boys, but we can guess why. However some of the girls of our class have become very important, as you will see. Eloise Addington, a housewife, no occupation. ( Home economics comes in handy” now says Eloisc.) Eighteen 1st. I HE CltllCIIILES Evelyn Benton, another housewife. (Pretty good. But Evelyn floundered around in Hollywood for several years before she settled down.) Annie Blakey, a nurse. (Annie is now head nurse at T. C. I. Hospital and she certainly can make her patients do what she wants.) Dorothy Bradley, an aviatrix. (What else could she be with her reckless spirit?) Emma Burnette, a famous athlete. (When 1 prophesied this, I never dreamed that Emma would today he the world's tennis champion.) Hue! Clements, a stenographer. (Check.) Jennie DeArman. another stenographer. (Of course Hazel and Jennie were stenographers only temporarily.) Martha Elwell. a secretary. (Mark me up incorrect this time. Martha is now the editor of the Ladies' Home Journal.) Mary Frances Gamble, a housewife. (What could quiet, demure Mary Frances be but somebody's good wife?) Evelyn Gilbert, a modiste. (Enter Paris! Evelyn is quite the most successful modiste in Paris. I saw her there on my last tour. She’s as stunning as ever.) Sarabell Graham, a physical education teacher. (Imagine Sarabell attending teachers’ meetings. That was a pretty bad guess. Sarabell became a scintillating movie star, reigned supreme as queen of the studios for a while, then left her career and became Mrs.—oh well—) Alice Green, a school teacher. (Not so good, nor so bad. Alice now teaches music.) Violet Halfpenny, another school teacher. (Violet is now America’s most renowned baby specialist.) Corinnc Hayes, a dramatic art teacher. (Corinnc now has a large studio in New York City. Her opinions are sought by the world's foremost actors and actresses.) Laura Jane Hicks, a beauty expert. (Who else but Laura Jane is the noted French specialist, Madame l,al,auric.) . I«ois Johnston, a voice teacher. (Like Corinnc. Lois has a large studio in New York. She has trained some of opera's biggest stars.) Emma Jean Lindsey, a private secretary. (A correct guess ) Virginia Logan, a housewife. (Yes, Virginia's beauty and good disposition soon put her name in the engagement list.) Mary Morris, a famous author. (Mary of the good personality is now America's rage in the line of romantic literature. 1 hope her fame isn’t just one of short endurance.) Margaret Love, a school teacher. (Margaret now is Professor of French at Birmingham University.) Wanda Mumpower, a successful music teacher. (Wanda, in spite oi her classical inclinations, turned to jazz and became famous overnight.) Frances Moragnc. a private secretary. (Yes? Well, she was one—to a college professor. She soon became Mrs. College Professor.) Inez Parrish, a famous h'ues singer. (Although Inez's jazzy instincts dominated the first of her career, the Garbo influence has made her a great tragedienne.) Jane Pratt, an artist. (At painting, Jane’s a genius.) Evelyn Rutledge, a pianist. (Good! She now plays accompaniments for Kalph Hood on his concert tours.) Dorothy Sellers, a literary genius. (Today Dot's works are translated into every language.) Ellen Turner, a housewife. (The on!y possible guess! It’s true.) Teresa Wilson, a stenographer. (Yes, she was a stenographer. Now she is a housewife.) Grace Wilson, a physical education teacher. (Well. I hate to say it after what I said about Sarabell. but Grace is a physical education teacher. However, she lost her maiden name long ago.) Esther Jean Wvper. a stenographer. (Of course what I said about Teresa holds true for Esther Jean.) As you see, some of my prophecies came true. But class prophecies don’t mean anything in anybody's life. Well. I hope having read my Crucible will make me dream of old Fairfield of '31. Bov McAllister. Prophet '31. Nineteen THE mill HI! ■ “GRUMBLES” Why on earth do wc have to have high schools, anyway? And colleges—ugh! For that matter, why have any old school ? I f wc must have them, why can't we be taught with movies and radio and then the nice little boys and girls could have more time for fun. Study makes wrinkles and gray hairs. And nobody likes either of these. If they would use pictures and radio, then it wouldn’t take so many teachers. A lot of good cooks, washerwomen, and ditch diggers have been ruined by making teachers out of them, anyway. Why don’t we have more dancing, bridge, baseball, and football taught us—something worthwhile, something to develop the body and then the mind, if there is any, could take care of itself. Why don't we have sunshine all the time; there isn't any use for cold winds snow, ice and had colds. Depressions are unnecessary and so are assembly, typewriting, English. mathematics, and all of the rest of the tomfoolery we are given in school. All of these interfere with the good times we could have and there ought to be a law against them. Why under the sun do we have to have graduation, anyway, and who even wants to go on board the Ship of I.itc? What good is class-night, and all the rest that goes with graduation? It’s all just a lot of put-on silliness, that docs nothing but go to show that senior classes arc composed of a lot of dumb-bells who ought to be ringing Cowbells at milking time, splitting firewood and hoeing com.

In the fall of 1923 an equally wonderful machine came into existence—the first Fairfield High School football eleven . Although a clumsy machine, it was destined to reach great heights with Coach Clements, the able pilot, at the controls. In 1925 all records were broken. Coach Clements piloted his craft to the County Championship. The fall of 1930 brought out a large supply of green raw material. Out of this material Coach Clements built a machine which was to Ik put to the hardest test yet undertaken.

Thirty-Five AN ACKNOWLEDGM ENT Due to the distressing financial depression that prevails in the district, it was deemed unadvisahle • to ask our friends in business to contribute toward financing this issue of The Crucible. And since we did not sell advertising space, it has been necessary. of course, to curtail expenses in every manner possible. We wish especially to express our indebtedness to Mr. C. P. Turner of the Fairfield Printing Company, whose liberal services made it possible for us to publish this volume of The Crucible. THE CRUCIBLE STAFF. Dorothy Sellers, lidilor-in-Chicf.
