’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..
