Though time will dull our memories, These glorious days be with us yet; They’re deep imprinted in our hearts, We’ll not forget. —S. Jay Roberts 17 SENIOR CLASS PLAY GREEN STOCKINGS In a certain locality there is a custom whereby an elder sister is compelled to wear green stockings at the wedding of a younger sister, provided she herself happens to be unwed or unbetrothed. After having worn the hated stockings twice, Celia Farraway rebels when the time approaches for her to wear them the third time. She therefore invents a sweetheart of the name of Smith, and excuses his non-appearance by saying that immediately after she became engaged he was obliged to sail for the war in South Africa. The surprise of her sisters forces her into details of supposed fact which have to be manufactured on short notice. She is even induced to write a letter to him; and though she thinks the letter is destroyed, her younger sister mails it. In an endeavor to extricate herself from the predicament, she later succeeds in having a notice published in the Times of the death of a Colonel Smith on October 11. However, what she thought was a fictitious name is really the name of an amy officer, wno receives the letter, and turns up under an assumed name immediately after the death notice is published. His interview with Celia results in a series of amusing situations which terminate happily. 18 JUNIOR CLASS SEMESTER VII OFFICERS President.......... Vice-President.......

Together the three have launched a new magazine. The Harrisville Town Topics. The three are. of course, confirmed woman haters; that is, until buddy's elder sister, Florence, is visited by her school chum, Joan, and Joan’s joung-er sister, Lillums. Lillums is a sixteen year old siren, and she quickly splits the ties that bind the three young musketeers. Skillfully she plays one against the other, and havoc results. Meantime, Buddy’s father, a trusted employee of the town bank, becomes involved in a serious shortage. Buddy takes it on his young shoulders to track down the responsible culprit. In the end. The Harrisville Town Topics scores a sensational sooop and the three young editors are united once more against all woman kind------and Lillums in part- icular. 24 SOPHOMORE CLASS SEMESTER IV OFFICERS President..........

There are more pupils at work on the program this year, and those who are working are better satisfied with their Jobs. As the Board of Education is continually providing new books for the department, the pupils are able to learn more about their work. The two boys who were graduated last year are regularly employed on the Jobs for whioh they were trained. This year there will be four to receive Diversified Occupations Certificates when they are graduated. 54 NATIONAL BETA CLUB OFFICERS ..............................Leroy Spearman ................................George Heard .............................Louise Campbell ............................Terrell Ann Bloe ...................................Lois Blake ....................................Ed Thomas ......Miss Anna Rla Davis, Mr. W.

Aunt Cordelia is coming to visit and Dick can not let Susan's absence be known, because not only does Aunt Cordelia furnish him with an allowance but also she lectures on the evils of divorce. Buddy Chalmers makes a deal with the professor then that in return for a special examination he will take the place of Susan; and Buddy's girl, Babs, agrees to be the butler for the time Aunt Cordelia is there. Dick, nervous and upset, asks Violet, the maid, and his old sweetheart, Diana, each to play the role of bis wife. When Aunt Cordelia arrives, Dick finds himself in a merry tangle with three loving wives. Into this mixup comes Susan, having changed her mind about Reno. Just when matters look worst, Aunt Cordelia unexpectedly straightens things out to the satisfaction of all concerned. 52 r PRINCIPAL’S CABINET MIIBERS George Heard Leroy Spearman Kathleen Vaughan Lucille Metz Bryan Adams Paul Bumgardner Catherine Bullock Louise Campbell James Rutledge June Kelton Francis Watkins James Robert Harmon The purpose of the Principal’s Cabinet Is to aid the principal In the promotion of the academic and extra-curricular activities and the improvement of the general welfare of the school.

Six selected voices of the Glee Club, representative in vocal ability and achievement, began rehearsals under the direction of the supervisor of music, Mrs. Maude Woodward Nunn. Because of the pleasing voioes of these girls and their ability to sing difficult harmony with ease, this group has obtained much popular favor. They have appeared on many occasions at publio performances and church and civic activities. Representing the Music Department, as well as the Glee Club, this group has brought before the public in a most effective manner, the outstanding achievements of the Jbirfield High School Music Department.

With no experience and ittle practice, the Boys' Chorus gave their premiere performance at the Christmas Cantata 1938. a performance that will be cherished in the memories of all who were so fortunate as to be present. 59 BAND MEMBERS Lee Alexander Eugene Beddow Earle Chaple John Furlong James Heard Ernest Herlong Helen Hopewell Frank Hollingsworth Avon Holt George Howard Thomas Johnston Betty McCool Ralph Miller Fred Owen James Powell Walter Reed Martha Roberts S.

Not only does a student learn the safe and proper way to handle an automobile, but also he learns the principal mechanisms of the automobile; physical and mental reaotions to various emergencies; and laws pertaining to automobile drivers and to pedestrians. After having taken a Drivers Training Course sponsored by the Alabama Motorists Association at the University of Alabama, Mr. A. E. Houk became the Safe Driving instructor for Fairfield High School. Fairfield High is the only high school in the state that offers this course to its students, and is duly proud of this distinction. 64 BACK ROW Assistant Coach Rouk; E.

Not Represented--Hendrix Through the efforts of Coach Clements and Assistant Coach Houk, and the cooperation and steady practice of the squad, a good team was molded for the 1938 season. Further aid that is necessary to any successful team was rendered by the student body, the band, and the cheer leaders in their spirited support at all games. Although the boys did not always play a winning game so far as the score was concerned, they always turned in a win with regard to teamwork and fair play. 66 A Crucible LETTER MEN Erskine Brlner-Back Erk was co-captaln of the team,a hard running, hard blocking, back. This was his last year. Carroll Briner-Back This was Dummy's last year also. He will be missed next year as a good runner and punter. Cyril Porter-Back Jones was one of the best passers, also a good ball carrier. He will not be back. Clyde Letcher-Back Small, but a good blocker, Willie could always crack the line for that extra yard. He graduates this year. C. L. Cookson-End Cooky probably stopped more of our opponents' plays than any one else. He was also the best pass receiver. James Robert Harmon-End Harmon started late but turned out to be a swell defensive end. He will be back next year. Morris Freeman-Taokle The best defensive tackle, Cocky will play next year and should show up well. Leroy Spearman-Tackle Spearman was a good offensive who could also hold his ground on defense. Spearman won't be back next year. Joe Cox-Guard Cox was a big fellow who could plug his hole in the line. He graduates this t ime. Billy DeBardeleben-Guard Debarde was a big, hard fighting guard, “e leaves a position that will be hard to fill. Francis Watkins-Center Co-captaln of the squad, Dog always played a good game. The team loses a swell pivot man in Dog. Jaok Heinton-Back Heinton didn't really get started until the middle of the season, but then—boy! He returns as alternate-captain, Paul Buagardner-Back Paul was the smallest man on the squad but every inch dynamite. He graduates. 67 James McNamee-Eack Goony always plays straight, clean, football. He finishes this year. Bobby Green-End Last year, manager; this year, letterxn n end--some advance,that! Green will not be bacic. Ted McKenzie-End McKenzie came here from another school but adjusted himself quickly and made his letter doing a swell Job at end. He's a senior. Eugene Anderson-End Pete was knocked out of most of all our games because of an injury He is next year's captain. Charles Guthrie-Tackle Guthrie finishes this year and leaves behind a good record as a tackle. Houston Endsley-Center Endsley had a hard position but continued to do a good job of it all season. He is a senior. Many of the team's lettermen graduate this year. However the scrubs who really built up this season's squad promise to frame a distinguished team for Fairfield High next year.
