Senior Class History' On September ll, l939, the class of 4O first gazed wistfully at the frame- work of the new high school as they entered the various portals of education strung hither and thither about the town. Their waiting was not in vain: for, the new high school, when it was done, surpassed the expectations of everyone. The class consisted of 23 ambitious CPD seniors eager to gain a grain of knowledge before the days of high school were past. Managerial head of our class was President Bruce Iohnson who personally offers to throw a book at any senior who speaks without recognition from the Chair. Shirley Arps was vice-president and Betty Young, who acquired the art of handling a pencil, was the secretary. Keeping account of our finances and holding the money-bag was the job of Leland Walker, who promoted business deals on the side. The senior class proved to be superior in athletic prowess during the year in that it had six football players receiving letters, and on the basketball team we numbered four men playing regularly in tournament games. We also had three senior girls on the first ten on the girls' basketball team. Senior class rings were ordered from Iosten's. Our caps and gowns were ordered from the same company. Mr. Umphress of Great Falls made our senior portraits and our pictures for the school annual. He also made a group picture to be hung in the hall so the students of later years could remember the first class to graduate from Fairfield High School. ln April a class meeting was held for the purpose of electing the class flower, colors, and the class motto, which were as follows: Flower-red and white carnations. Colors-red and white. Motto- The World of Tomorrow shall know our ambitions. Tiger House, a three-act mystery-comedy was given April 4 before a large crowd. The cast did good work and everyone who saw the play said they liked the performance. After the play the class presented Miss Lane, the director, with a bouquet of carnations. The entire senior class, accompanied by Mr. Dahl, their sponsor, held a sneak day April 19, and went to Gibson dam on a picnic. Regardless of sun- burn, stiff muscles from mountain climbing, and wood ticks, everyone who went reported a grand time. Graduation day finally arrived May 23, and resplendent in their caps and gowns, the class of 4U received their diplomas. With many happy memories of their high school days they go out to the real school of life to fulfill their ambitions. flll
