CBoard of Education The efficient administration of the Public Schools of Fairfield devolves upon the shoulders of those men who constitute the Board of Education. The membership of this board is composed of five men, who collectively bring a background of wide and suc- cessful business and professional experience with which to attack the problems constantly facing them. During these times of busi- ness and financial instability and unrest, these men have met and solved many of the same problems that have caused many industries to crumble and fall. That these difficulties have been attacked successfully cannot be denied, nor can they be attributed to selfish motives of gain or loss, but rather to an unselfish desire as parents and citizens to see this community benefited by an efficient system of public education. The retiring members of the board, Mr. W. B. Parrett who served nine consecutive years and Mr. Wm. Follen who served six consecutive years were replaced by Mr. Eugene Fleming and Dr. J. V. H. Schantz. To the retiring members the student body ex- tends a vote of thanks and to the incoming members a pledge of constructive co-operation. Page 7 The QUILL Page 8 MR. SAUR Principal C319 9 MR.

In order to attain this recognition, a student must average at least a B for the four years. The valedictorian this year, Dorothy Turner, has achieved the enviable position of an average of 4.98 out of a possible 5.00. She received only one grade lower than A, a B in a half-credit subject. Ruth Allen and Quentin Bates at the time this goes to press are tied for salutatorian with but one B apiece. l I 5 The names on the Honor Roll exclude the average of the last semester of the senior year. Those on this roll are: Ruth Allen Ila Hawkins Ned Baker Maurine Heath Joy Bangs Isabelle Keller Quentin Bates Ruth Bonnell Ruth Bower Ruth Carter Elizabeth Catlett Gordon Coleson Irma Corey Barbara Crow Edgar Eckey Bob Elmore Ely Finkel Marjorie Free John Gillespie Elizabeth Graham June Haefiin Vivienne Hammon Barbara Lars-on Dorothy Leathers Vannas Little Lucille McFarland Don McGiffen Paul McLean Richard Schafer Russell Seaman Carroll Snider Robert Stortz Mildred Tilford Dorothy Turner Evelyne Tuttle Virginia Van Nostrand Walter Zuehlke Page 25 - The Q UILL unior Girls SIXTH ROW-Catherine Brown, Mae Donovan, Henrietta Bates, Florence Brock, Hazel Webb, Pearl Coffin, Dorothy Marr, Olabeth Coots, Jessie Stever.

Page 33 The Q UI LL flhe High 5011001 Band Although several good musicians were lost in graduation last June, the level of musicianship as a whole has been raised in the band this year. Sev- eral promising young grade school musicians were added to round out the instrumentation. Yet the band was lacking almost entirely in some of the foundational instruments, and the middle voices weren't as complete as they should have been in the brass. The solo instruments were particularly out- standing except the flute section, which hasn't recovered since its loss sev- eral years ago. The double-reeds put on the best showing Fairfield High has ever had. At the first of the school year the mothers of instrumental music stu- dents in the public school system organized the Fairfield Public School Musical Auxiliary, whose primary purpose was the raising of a fund to purchase modern uniforms and musical equipment for the band. One step has been accomplished, and now the band is attired not in faded, weather- stained capes but in new military-style caps and coats. The band owes it a deep debt of gratitude and thanks for its aid and assistance throughout the year. But let us look ahead. Next year we won't be hearing the thunder of Howel1's bass, the squawk of Stortz's oboe, our big gob-sticks, Laurier, McClain, Hendricks and Nady, over the blast of all the little gobsticks. But we will have left Kay Thoma to lead all the little gobsticks on and young Ted to perpetuate the squawk and don't let me forget our bass sec- tion under the commandership of Eliel and his battered old brass. Page 34 The Q UI LL High School Orchestra This year's orchestra may be said to have been one of the best the high school has produced. The instrumentation was complete. The first violins, all veterans of two or more years, gave a. wonderful showing, while the sec- ond violins, less experienced, were up and coming. The violas and violin- cellos reached the culmination of several years work to bring them to a level of musicianship with the violins. The bass viols performed in a good degree in conjunction with the tuba. A complete balance was made by the addition of the finest of the woodwinds and brass in the band. Since not many of the numbers performed this year required drums, few requests were made of the band's percussion section for assistance. Showing the heights of accomplishment reached this year in music, the orchestra performed Beethoven's Filth Symphony at the music department's concert late in March. Although coming out of the District Music Contest with an equivalent of third place, the judges' criticisms were all compliment- ary, showing all that was needed was excellence of a higher degree. Lost in graduation will be about a third of the string section, but the instrumental balance will still be maintained by addition of promising grade school violinists next fall.

The Freshman Chorus is composed entirely of freshman girls. Its purpose is to give training to those underclassmen who are not in the First Girls' Glee Club. This is only the second year for the organization. It took part in the Christmas Chapel program. The Second Girls' Glee Club has approximately sixty members. Experience for the First Girls' Glee Club is gained through par- ticipation in this Club. The initial appearance of the year was at the Presbyterian Church in November. It also gave a program at the Woman's Club on April 19.

CDebate The first tournament participated in was the Bloomfield meet. There were thirteen teams entered from Southern Iowa 'and Northern Missouri. Both our affirmative and negative teams won their way to these semi-iinals. The negative team, composed of Christine Pedrick and Vannas Little, represented Fairfield in the final debate and won the decision, thus winning the tournament, while the affirmative team, composed of Virginia Van Nostrand and Ned Baker, retired undefeated. The first state debate contest was the pre-district tournament held at Oskaloosa. Virginia Van Nostrand and Ned Baker upholding the affirma- tive won through the tournament and were eligible to represent Fairfield in the district meet held at Iowa City. In the district meet the F.H.S. debaters were eliminated after Winning four and losing four debates. The season was closed with the annual Iowa Nine Association tourna- ment which was held in Iowa City. This group composed of Burlington, Davenport, Iowa City, Muscatine, Washington, Ottumwa, Ft. Madison, Keo- kuk and Fairfield furnishes the highest type of competition offered to the high schools of Iowa. The Fairfield teams ranked fifth by winning seven of the sixteen debates in which they participated. Although many of the students who studied debate were unable to represent Fairfield in the state and Iowa Nine tournaments, they were given inter-scholastic participation in practice debate meetings and undoubtedly laid the foundation for tournament team work in coming years.

The first major contest of the year was the Boys' Iowa Nine held at Fort Madison, January 18. Fairfield's representatives were Robert William- son in the oratorical section, Robert Fligg in the dramatic, and Roy Bates in the humorous. Williamson won the coveted lirst place gold medal giving his oration: Ask Your Undertaker! The Girls' Iowa Nine followed on February 6, at Keokuk. Pauline Coleson won the oratorical division, Catherine Clark in the dramatic, and Christine Pedrick in the humorous won the right to compete for Fairfield, but was not listed among the iinal winners. The freshmen upheld the standards of their class by retaining a half interest in the plaque won by the preceding freshman class. They tied for first place in the iinal ratings with John Catlett winning third place in the oratorical division, Florence Clark taking second place in the dramatic section, and Charmaine Nady winning first place in the humorous division. The next Iowa Nine contest was the Iowa Nine Original Oratory and Extemporaneous contest held at Iowa City, April 26. Gordon Coleson com- peted in the original oratory section, Vannas Little in the Girls' Extempor- aneous, and Ned Baker in the Boys' Extemporaneous. Vannas carried off the laurels in the Girls' Extemporaneous winning first place. As a fitting climax to this forensic season, the State Declamatory Con- test was held at Fairfield April 1'9, 1935. Catherine Clark reached the pre-dist- rict contest in the dramatic division before being eliminated and Christine Pedrick reached the sub-district contest in the humorous section. By win- ning the highest rating of speakers in the home contest and by virtue of the school's right this season to retain one speaker for the finals in the State Contest Pauline Coleson represented Fairfield in the oratorical division in the State Declamatory Contest. Giving the selection How Much Land Does a Man Need? Pauline won second place in' the State finals against the best of the state's high school orators. As Pauline is only a sophomore, an even greater season is anticipated for her next year. With the experience garnered this year by the underclassmen, Fairfield High hopes that next year's forensic season will reach the marks set in 1935.

Page 46 The Q UI LL lowa QN ine One-Act Exchange Plays The Iowa Nine initiated a newi program for plays this year. One-act plays were exchanged between various schoolsj Fair- field, Washington, and Ottumwa exchanged plays. On December 6, 1934 three plays were given by the three schools in the local audi- torium. Ottumwa presented the play Highness, a post-revol- utionary Russian drama. Washington gave The Wedding, a com- edy. Fairfield gave a comedy, E1mer. Elmer was built around a young boy, Elmer Collier, who did not like to see his sister, Susan, mistreated by the rest of the family. Susan, the much abused sister, received an evening coat as a gift. Her older sisters, Jeanie and Janie, twins, tried to appropriate the coat for themselves with their mother's consent. Through a scheme which Elmer cooked up involving the thrilling entrance of a bur- glar into the house, the twins were defeated in their attempt to take the coat, and the honor of Susan upheld. These plays were taken to both Ottumwa and Washington. At these places, Fairfield presented Three's a Crowd, a light comedy based upon the problems of a young lover, Eddie johnson, as por- trayed by Tommy Louden. Eddie was pursuing a love affair with Madeline, Catherine Clark. Through the efforts of Elmer, a rival, Eddie was beaten out of the use of his father's car. As a result, he had to take Madeline and her younger sister, Ellen, to the dance on a street car. The conductor put them off before they reached their destination be- cause Eddie did not have enough money for the fare. In the park where they were left, Eddie was trying to console Madeline and at the same time get her to walk on to the dance. Elmer, Edclie's rival, came by with Eddie's father's car and took Madeline to the dance. Eddie was left with Ellen and he decided she was not so bad after all. About this time Eddie's father came by looking for his car, for Elmer did not have his consent to use it. He took Eddie and Ellen to the dance and started looking for Elmer. The plays were directed by Miss Gladys McClain. The casts of characters are as follows: ELlvIER Elmer Collier ........ ...............,.............,., ..,,...

CRed Domino The Red Domino, Fairfield High Schoo1's dramatic club, has become quite a popular school organization. To be elgible for membership a student must have been in a play to which admission was charged, have been one of the six leads of the play, and have represented the school in some forensic contest. This year the organization sponsored the presentation of several one act plays which were given in Washington and Ottumwa. Frequent meet- ings of the group are held in the form of box suppers which were found to be quite popular. The officers for 1934-35 were as follows: President .,......,..... .......

To be eligible for membership one must first of all be a student in a high school having a chapter of the National Forensic League. Then, by taking part in non-decision debates, contest debates, orig- inal oratory, declamatory, or extemporaneous speaking contests, one might receive the required number of credit points which would entitle him to a membership in the League and a badge of distinc- tion as a reward for his activities in the forensic Field. When the time came to select the officers of the local chapter for this year, those elected by the votes of the other members were: President, Virginia Van Nostrand, who has been a member of the debate team for the past two years. Vice President, Tom Lou- den, who took part in non-decision debates. Secretary and Treas- urer, Pauline Coleson, who takes part in declamatory contests. Page The Q UI LL CBand Auxiliary The Band Auxiliary, an unofficial organization, has been or- ganized to further interest in music in the Fairfield Public Schools. At the present time its primary object is to raise funds for the band uniforms. The band capes and caps had been ordered by the auxiliary early in the yearg but, owing to the lack of material, they have not arrived and will not be here until next fall. The Band Auxiliary has participated in many activities in order to raise these funds. In the middle of October a Tag Day was sponsored to raise money for the uniform fund. On November 14, the auxiliary presented two plays in the High School Auditorium. The names of the plays and casts are as follows: WEDDING BELLS FOR FATHER COACH-Phyllis Bradshaw CHARACTERS- Sue Robbins ........... ................. B etty GibS011 Kit Robbins ........ ,.........

On March 14, the Rufus Rose Marionette Show, sponsored by the Auxiliary, gave two performances in the High School Auditor- ium. In the afternoon, they presented Pinochio for the high school chapel, in the evening Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves for the public. March the 18th, saw the first all-high school party which was given bythe Auxiliary. Refreshments were served, dancing was enjoyed in the gym, and games were played by those attending. Later in the year another similar party was sponsored. Page 50 The Q UI LL Senior CP1ay Take OH' Those Whiskers Take Off Those Whiskers was a farcical comedy in three acts written by Wall Spence. The play was the story of an actress, Laura Lee, who disappeared, -and people seemed to think the Pomeroy family had something to do with the disappearance.

Miraculously, she manages to hold on to her credit, realizing that if her creditors foreclose they will get nothing for their efforts. However, she realizes that things can't go on forever in this man- ner so she hits upon a brilliant idea. Years before, her husband's brother, a millionaire bachelor, had offered to support the household in return for the companionship of the family. Mrs. Bartlett, hoping to improve the financial condition, invites him to spend the summer with them. He accepts, but imagine her horror to ind that he, too, has been a victim of the hard times and, grateful for her offer, comes to live with them. Bruce goes to work selling vacuum cleaners, Alma starts a lunch stand, and Glen looks for a job, for the bank has also closed. Lynn Milham sells her depression song and makes quite a bit of money. They all end by making money and Uncle Thatcher really has all of his money, so everything ends happily by singing the song, Sing, Brothers, Sing.

The QUILL QN ew Pep Song? The need for a real peppy pep-song at F.H.S. has been felt for a long time. To Fill this need it was proposed that a substantial cash prize be offered to the person writing the song most suitable. Quite a number have been submitted but the judges have not made their final decision. In place of the new pep-song which was to have appeared on this page we print a poem written by Albert Porter, already known as the composer of Tantalizing Rhythm, one of the songs used in the Junior Specialties this year. ' FAIRFIELD HIGH F airfield has shown with glory bright Increasing through the years, And many heroes she has had to Honor with her cheers. Her name, it stands among the first In honor and in fame, And evermore in history It always will remain. Then fight! Fairfield! Fight! You who are so brave' and strong. We are here to rouse and cheer you with our song, I Our school so dear, its name we will defend ' So fight! Fairfield! Fight Fairfield! Fight! Until the end.

BL O OMFIELD vs FAIRFIELD Sept. 21-It started raining in the morning and rained up until the start of the game, but the field was not sloppy as it was during the preceding game. It was noticed that the Trojans had not lost the tight and pep during the week, as they walked over Bloomfield for a score of 27 to 0, holding Bloomfield powerless on the olfense. Again Keller swept the ends for long gains and Henness went through the line for first and tens. Keller made 3 touchdowns and Henness 1. OTTUMWA vs. FAIRFIELD Sept. 29-We went to the home of the State Prep Championship holders, Ottumwa, for our third game. The F.H.S. gridders were outweighed by the Bulldogs besides showing a green team. The Bulldogs steamrolled a 27 to 0 score over the Trojans, although we put up a hard fought battle. Henness and Carter starred on defense for the Trojans by contributing many needed tackles. WASHINGTON vs. FAIRFIELD Oct. 5-We met our second Little Six opponent here with a great amount of vim and fight after our trouncing by the Bulldogs. The Trojans started clicking in the first half and scored 12 points. The iirst 6 points were put over by Carter on a line plunge after a sweeping end run by Keller. The second 6 points came on an intercepted pass by Henness which he ran back 65 yards. In the second half the Demons came back with an over- abundance of light and pushed over 6 points. The Trojan line then buckled up and held the Demons. Henness and Keller starred on the offensive for the Trojans by making many long runs. Page 71 The O UI LL f 1 ALBIA vs. FAIRFIELD Oct. 11-The Albia game was a rest from the Little Six conffrence games. The touchdown came when the game was' young on a pas from Teeter to Keller who toted the ball about 40 yards for a touchdown. T eter's try for a point went wide, and the score was 6 to 0. From then on th game was even, with Albia having the slight edge during the last half. Keller showed up well on defense by getting quite a few tackles behind the s. irmish me. FT. MADISON vs. FAIRFIELD Oct. I6-The Fairfield Trojans went to the Prison City for he next game and fell to the score of 26 to 0. The Bloodhounds scored n every quarter. The first score came in the opening minutes of the ga e on a fumble on the Trojan's 5-yard line. This seemed to discourage the Trojans as the Bloodhounds gained from then on at will. BURLINGTON vs. FAIRFIELD Oct. 19-We went to the home of the Greyhounds on a mud y Friday, but with the determination to show them a real game. The he vy Grey- hounds leaped to the front in the first quarter with 7 points, whic followed an end around play. But the lighting Trojans never gave an inch from then on. They came back in the second half with an over-abundance f pep, and by hard blocking and running in the fourth quarter Nixon p t across 6 points on an end run. Nixon also came through with the extra point. Nixon starred in the backfield offense with many nice gains, while 9 the whole Trojan line stood up like a stone wall on defense. I MUSCA TINE vs. FAIRFIELD ' Oct. 26-A squad of over-confident Trojans journeyed to uscatine for a Little Six Conference game and fell to the tune of 32 to 7. This lost us the chance for second in the Little Six Conference. Coleso and Miller performed best on the line, and Nixon stood out in the backii ld, making a 55 yard run for the Trojan's lone touchdown. MT. PLEASAINT vs. FAIRFIELD 1 Nov. 8-The Panthers came to Fairfield with the strong st line of the Little Six and the lust for victory, but the fighting Troja s' line wasn't bluffed an inch and made two goal line stands in the first an last quarters on the four and five yard lines. The Trojans, although badl battered and shaken up, stopped the clawing Panthers in a 0 to O tie. T e Trojans also made a desperate attack, putting the ball on Mt. Pleasant's,four yard line after a pass from Teeter to Nixon. But because of a bad pass from center, the Trojans found themselves on the Hfteen yard line. hey next tried three passes, but failed to connect. Nixon and Teeter star ed in the back- field for the Trojans, and our line held perfectly when ba ked against its own goal. Page .72 5 I I The Q UI LL NIXON-Back.

Gordie proved his ability to hold down an end by breaking end runs and getting down under punts. ELMORE-Tackle. Elmer's size and ability to break up plays made him a great asset to the team. HARWOOD-Guard. Pete though inexperienced at the beginning of the season turned out to be an excellent guard. CARTER-Back. Bob was a hard fighting little half and contributed many tackles. He ran great interference, but due to injuries lost out on a few games. KELLER-Back. Keller was a good plunger and hard fighter. This is his third letter. RODENMAYER-Tackle. Rody always held up his side of the line with a lot of iight. NADY-End. Hard work and a willingness to fight won Nady a letter. HENNESS-Back. Glen was one of our fastest backfield men. He ran interference and was a consistent ball toter. OLIVER-Center. Pud, only a sophomore, 'played a good offensive and defensive game. He was awarded a place on the second Little Six team. SALTS-Guard. Salts played a fighting game at guard and could always be depended upon. McLEAN-Center. Scoot, our honorary captain, although small, won his letter through his lighting spirit. MILLER-End. Bing, a sophomore, showed his ability through hard fighting and breaking up plays. VANNATTA-Back. Pollock won his letter through hard fighting and consistent blocking and tackling. MCGIFFIN-Guard. Don received his letter through his ability to run interference and break up plays. WELDAY-Guard. Vermillion, a senior, played a hard steady game this year at guard. TETTER-Back. Slewfoot playing at quarterback piloted the team all year. He was fast, a good blocker, passer, punter, and runner.

' First Team Basketball T The first team of this year was composed almost wholly of the second team members of last year. Yet, in spite of t e lack of sea- soned veterans, the Trojans had the scrappiest bask tball team of the Little Six circuit, even if they did not win all their games. At the tournament at Ottumwa, the Trojans were elim nated by the Bulldogs who went on through the finals.

In league games they won 5 and lost 5, which is exceptionally good for inexperienced players play- ing against men that have had two or three years of experience. An example of experience was shown by the score of the Freshman and Second team game, most of the Second team being old members of the Freshman team. During the tournament, the Freshmen de- feated Batavia to advance to the semi-finals where they fell before the well-coached Pleasant Plain team, the Champions of the County Six.

MANAGERS-Tom Louden, Mr. Repass, Roy Hoch, Bob Williamson. Business Managers and Cheer Leaders CHEER LEADERS The Cheer leaders were selected early this year by popular acclaim. Virginia Van Nostrand, Karlena Thoma, and Burns An- gell took upon themselves the noteworthy task of aiding the Pep Club and Pep Committee to create pep. They started off right by making the students really yell, and they ran the yells in such a way that they were able to keep the spirit up between times. They deserve a lot of credit because they have done a job well that has to be done, a hard one, and one which is absolutely nec- essary if the school activities are to be kept up. MANAGERS Roy Hoch, our check room expert, is the vendor of liniment, tape, towels, suits, and other athletic equipment. In doing this job, he has very completely filled the shoes left vacated by Stew Gaumer who graduated last year. In the managerial duties, Bob Williamson, John Leech, and Tom Louden are-the ones who stand out in the rain taking tickets at the football games, the ones who take the job of looking up own- ers of stamp books in the different home rooms. They have a lot of miscellaneous duties that call for hard work, with but little com- mendation and general recognition. Mr. Repass has the hardest job of all, that of managing the student managers. As the business manager, he sees that track meets and tournaments run smoothly, and he tries to manage the books so that the income equals the outgo, a truly tough assign- ment. Page 78 The OUILL a . Track The track season of last year had its bright places. There were several outstanding performances. The relay teams were suc- cessful in placing in practically every meet entered. The track season was opened last spring with the Little Six indoor meet at Iowa City on March 23. Fairfield placed third in the meet. The one-mile relay team composed .of Bob Heston, Black, Hoskins, and Nixon placed second, as did the two-mile relay team made up of Switzer, Perry, Little and Nixon. Roy Dabner won the 60 yard high hurdles in 8.2 seconds, and broke a meet record set byCrayne. Sinn tied ifor first in the pole vault. In the state indoor meet the mile relay team placed third. Manary placed third in the pole vault. Dabner tied for fourth in the 60 yard high hurdles. At the Oskaloosa relays Fairfield placed seventh, with Manary 'winning first in the pole vault and Sinn tying for second in the pole vault. The mile relay team was successful in winning third. Dabner placed in the 120 high hurdles and 220 low hurdles. On April 27, Fairfield journeyed to Des Moines for the Drake Relays. The half-mile relay team of Nixon, Black, Bob Heston, and Dabner placed second. The mile relay team placed fourth. At the Outdoor Little Six Meet the two-mile relay team of Meth, Anders, Perry, and Griffitts placed second. The half-mile and mile teams both placed third. Sinn placed second and Manary third in the pole vault. Black won second in his heat of the 440. Dabner won first in the 120 high hurdles. . Q r At the district meet Dabner again won the 120 high hurdles and placed second in the 220 low hurdles. Nixon ran down a second place in the half-mile run. Black won his heat of the quarter mile, and the half-mile relay team won second. The team closed the season with a trip to Fort Madison where Manary placed second in the pole vault.

Since then the club has been very active sponsoring events to raise money to help activities. The only requirement for membership is a major letter in football, basketball, or track. The Letter Club this year has a membership of 25, with George Nixon, letterman in football, basket- ball, and track as President, Howard Keller, letterman in football and basketball as Vice President, and Bob Williamson with live manager's letters as Secretary-Treasurer. So far this year the Letter Club has sponsored a basketball game, with proceeds going to track, and one feed, with the Letter Club's famous beans at the head of the menu, prepared by the talented chef, H. D. Repass.

This year it started at the Parsons College Alumni Field on the eve of September 20, 1934. During the continual drizzle the Freshmen began carrying off the honors with a sack race. The ten member shuttle race teams of the Sophomore boys and Freshman girls gained victory. Then the sophomores pushed ahead by winning in the three-legged race. A sheet of rain swept across the Field as the Sophomore-Fresh- man boys' tug-o'-war ended. So ended the evening's activities leav- ing the score 39-37 in favor of the Freshmen. Through the courtesy of the Rex and Orpheum Theatres, the two classes were allowed to see the second show free. The held activities were resumed on September 25. Again the freshmen gained victory when the freshman girls pulled their rivals over the line in a tug-o'-war. The sophomore boys defeated the freshmen 14-9 in kittenball, and the freshman girls won 10-4 from their opponents. Members of the teams Were: BO YS-FRESHMEN : Robert Egan, Robert Marr, William Zeigler, Rex Black, De Wayne Barton, jay Munday, james Perry, Roy Six, Lawrence Nel- son, Wayne Harreld. SOPHOMORE: Dale Davison, Robert McBeth, Richard Blough, James Kause, Robert Peavey, Paul Waterhouse, Paul Caviness, Milton Graham, Lawrence Heston, Robert,Finley. GI RLS-FRESH M EN : Doris Willson, Sarah Switzer, Evelyn Hoskins, Rosalie Van Dyke, Evelyn Miller, Wilda Manning, Vivian Morris, Marion Lind- say, Florence Gorman, Evelyn Turner. . SOPHOMORE : Alice Brown, Helen Lauth, Lois Hawkins, Betty Talbott, Cath- erine Clark, julia Morgan, Marjorie Luke, Kathleen Maasdam, Dar- lene Hoskins, Pauline Coleson. The final tally of the night was 64-52 in favor of the Freshmen. Page 81 The OUILL Freshmen Halloween Party On Monday, October Z9,i1934, at 7:30 the freshmen initiated a new idea of having a class party. They held a Hallowe'en Party in the gym. The gym was bright with decorations of orange and black in the forms of black cats, witches, pumpkin faces, and ghosts. Masks and costumes of all kinds were plentiful. Games and contests furnished amusement for the hundred and twenty-one freshmen for an hour.

Dorothy Bates Penny Carnival On March 25, 1935, the doors of F.H.S. were thrown open to the public in a Penny Carnival! A thousand people enjoyed every- thing from faculty members' baby pictures to the pop corn popped in coffee pots because of therush. Home rooms had individual money making schemes. These were candy stands, freaks, bingo stands, a fish pond, ring-a-duck Cand get a chickenj, and other attractions. The dance floor and fish pond were the most popular events of the evening while the adver- tising contest of Miss Zeig1er'is home room brought in the most money. In addition to the home room activities there were two big shows in the auditorium. ' A portion of the proceeds of this carnival is to help the ,Ladies Band Auxiliary in their uniform drive.

Page 85 The Q UI LL Pay Chapels L The monthly pay chapels are highlights of the school year. Through them we are taken to all parts of the world. On October 1, the Stanley-Hoskins company put on an electrical demonstration. The most of the program was taken up with the explanation of the photo-electric cell. October 18, Madame Slaviansky and her troupe, dressed in native costume, took us to Russia for a program of folk songs, interspersed with Russian dances. Next we took a trip under the sea with Bob Zimmerman, the deep sea diver, who gave us one of our best chapels. We saw many different kinds of marine animals, and Mr. Zimmerman also explained the way in which moving pictures are made under the sea. In November we accom- panied the Davies Light Opera into the land of music. A little later in the month Philip Tordt, the snake man, passed his snakes around through the audience so that the girls might touch them. And then into the scientific world with Dr. Luther Gable and his lecture on radium, how it was discovered and to what use it can be put. Stanley Brookes took us back to Merrie England in the time of Dickens through his portrayals of characters in Charles Dickens' books. In March for the second time in two years we took a trip into doll land. Rufus Rose and his marionettes entertained us with the story of Pinocchio. On March 29, the far North was our desti- nation. Richard Finnie showed motion pictures of Eskimo life. Mr. Finnie has spent several years among these people. The best chapel of the year with no exceptions appeared on April 9 in the Petrie Quintette. This was an instrumental and vocal company full of humor. They wore very attractive costumes. Our last chapel of the year was Sidney Landon who took us into the land of liter- ature through his impersonations of Robert Louis Stevenson, Rud- yard Kipling, and Mark Twain. This program was very entertain- ing to literature students and to the other students as well. Page 86 The O UI LL Baccalaureate Sermon M. E.

Williamson RECESSIOPJAL- Page 88 The O UI LL Play Dey Play Day was held in the spring of 1934 on Alumni Field at Parsons College. Every pupil of the four Fairfield grade schools, Washington, Logan, Roosevelt, and Lincoln took part. Last year the first performance on the program was a flag drill in which all of the students, about one thousand in num- ber, participated. It was a very fine demonstration and showed much work on the part of Mr. E. D. Lange, the instructor of physical education, who had charge of the entire program. Then the different grades divided off and had a track meet with such events as dashes, the basketball throw, shuttle re- lays, broad jumps, and high jumps. The outstanding thing about this program was that each student and official kept a tabulation of points and then all of these Figures were com- piled. After the meet was over, a cup was given to the school having the most points. Roosevelt school has won this award each year. Then, according to the pupils, the best thing of the afternoon took place. Free ice cream cones were given to each student and then Play Day was over until another year.
