TED SAUR We, ihe Senior Class of 1950, humbly dedicate, this, our Quill to the memory of J. F. T. Ted Saur, who was considered by students, faculty, and people of the com- munity alike, as one of the best friends they ever had. Mr. Saur had been a member of the Fairfield school system since 1919, the last twenty years of which he was principal. On the morning of January 18th, it was quite evident that everyone knew that our principal had passed away very suddenly, as the result of a heart attack. Mr. Pence, Superintendent of schools, called an assembly immediately and delivered the following eulogy to the student body. Greater love has no man than this, that he gave his life for his friends. Yesterday our friend, Ted Saur, gave the last bit of strength to us. “Fairfield High School was his life. He believed in you; he gloried in your successes; he grieved when you failed to do your best; he trusted you and led you to grow into the finest group of young people that can be found. “Twelve years ago the 22nd of next April, the high school faced a lesser tragedy. While the remains of the old high school still smoldered, Ted called the student body together. They proved by their high morale during the next two years that it is possible to have a good high school without a building. 7 oday We have complete confidence that you will carry on in the days of adjustment that are ahead.” The shock of Mr. Saur's passing was felt throughout the building. An attempt was made to carry on classes as usual, but a deep feeling of loss was evident among the stu- dents and faculty. At the time of the funeral services school was dismissed and the stu- dents, faculty and the school board members attended the services as a group. Mr. Saur was bom December 12, 1891, at Barney, Iowa. He graduated from the Indianola High School in 1910, and from Simpson College in Indianola in 1915 with a B. A. degree. He later did graduate work at Parsons college. University of Iowa and the University of Southern California. He saw overseas service during the first world war. '50 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 5 31 Years of Service at F. H. S. AS A COACH Mr. Saur first took up hit duties as coach and teacher at Fairfield High School in the fall of 1919. shortly after his discharge from the service. He proved himself an ex- ceptional coach by setting many records, some of which have yet to be excelled. He was more than a coach for not only did he train the boys to win the game, but he also instilled in their minds the idea of fair play. No man played his petition better. Always on the job. enthusiastic, full of pep. loyal, sympathetic, a sport in the truest sense of the word. Mr. Saur had the honor of being a member of the rules committee of the National Federation of the State High School Athletic Association. He was also noted for his activities as an official throughout the state. Mr. Saur was considered one of the best referees, and was asked to referee many college games. Many of the people who saw him referee and really knew the game, could tell that he knew how to handle many “tough” situations. He refereed basketball, football, and was a starter at track meets. For many years he was a respected member of the Board of Control of the Iowa Athletic Association, and he was highly respected for his fairness in all decisions. AS A TEACHER AND ADMINISTRATOR Mr. Saur had been with the school for 31 years. He first came as a coach, but he also taught a variety of classes, usually connected with the mathematics department. As a teacher he taught General Science. Solid Geometry. Commercial and Industrial History. Plane Geometry. Commercial Law, Busi- ness Arithmetic, and Trigonometry. He had also been Quill sponsor. PRINCIPAL J. F. T. SAUR As a teacher, he had a special interest in each student and a certain knack that made the student want to learn. He always tried to give practical applications to the prob- lems as they would most probably present themselves in everyday life. He also watched to see that everyone would get enough information out of the subject so that they would be prepared for a more advanced course in the same subject. Mr. Saur had held the respected office of principal since 1927. He was well liked and showed himself very capable of handling this office of administration. He was gifted with an understanding of young people and a per- sonality which particularly suited him as principal. He turned down offers of much better jobs for that of the teaching profession, so that he could be with young people. Mr. Saur was very much interested in the student's extra-curricular activities and encouraged them to participate so as to become better adjusted in school life. He was always watching out for the underprivileged student to see that he would become better adjusted. Mr. Saur was a great sport enthusiast and did much for the sporting spirit of Fairfield High. Due to Ted's example of sportsmanship. Fairfield was often awarded the much coveted Little Six Sportsmanship Trophy. Words cannot express our feeling of deep regret, but it is our sincere hope that these pages may help keep alive the memory of one whom God has seen fit to take from us. If we work upon marble, It will perish; If we work upon brass. Time will efface it; If we rear temples. They will crumble into dust; But if we work upon immortal minds. If we imbue them with principles. With the just fear of God And love of our fellowmen. W;e engrave on those tablets Something that will brighten to All Eternity. 6 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL •50 Quill Staff ROW I-—Don Pipor Dick Speer, Nancy Zillman.

A committee, composed of five faculty members and the senior class officers, chose fifteen of these applicants to comprise this year's staff. Six of these mem- bers had gained experience by serving last year as Penscratchers. We all knew that we would have a great deal of fun, but we soon found out that there is much hard work connected with the fun in getting the Quill ready for the printer. Consequently, we have spent many long hours debating controversial issues, racking our brains for money-raising ideas, trimming pictures, composing writeups, and many other things too numerous to mention. We, the Quill Staff. sincerely hope that this Quill will live in your memories as one of the best! '50 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL Board of Education SEATED—Dean Gabbrrt. Harlan Andmon, John Earley.

Warren L awson, Charles Allen President Charles Allen Vice-President Jim Stewart Secretary ................................. Nick Martin Treasurer Warren Lawson Last year the students of Fairfield High School decided to adopt an official Fairfield High School ring. The crest of this ring was designed by our late principal. Mr. Saur, and the design was copy- righted. All of the students are eligible to purchase rings as soon as they enroll in high school. They may select a ring with either a plain background or a contrasting stone of onyx, red ruby or a blue sapphire. As most of the students buy class rings, this adoption of an official class ring, will add much to the prestige of our school. 28 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL •50 Myrna Ain Belly Allard Charles Allen Myron Angle Doris Babcock Doris Bagby Dick Bailey Jack Bradley Ray Brokken Harriett Brown Joan Brown Bob Calhey Leo Chapuis Rachel Christy Don Clarridge Wanda Coffin Thelda Coltrane Mary Lou Conner Perry Cornish Betty Crile Bob Crook Carol Cross Bob Cummings Bob Cults Park Davidson Wayne Davis Alice Davisson Elaine Davisson Leonard Drish Nancy Earley Virginia Fischer Don Fry Marcia Fry Edd Fulton Bob Glass Rex Godwin Ethel Mae Gustason Marilyn Haney Marilyn Harrison Mary Lu Hayes Juniors ’50 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 29 Juniors 9 ft ft ttfci +■ 'ft A nH| ft ft ft ■I r, MH fcfcCVft ’ft -!-r — ft.

We are a jolly student band: We stand for loyalty And all with one accord we’ll cheer Our team to victory. And when our high school days are o’er We never will forget. The cheers we gave together there; Yes, we can hear them ringing yet. CHORUS So let's join in and cheer, rah! rah! While we are gathered here, rah! rah! rah! Cheer for old Fairfield High Laud her to the sky! For we are ready to fight, with all our might. For her honor and fame and her glorious name! So let’s cheer (boys) cheer (boys) cheer. For dear old Fairfield High. —GLADYS WEST, Class of 1918 •50 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL I Marching Band This is a group of which anyone would be proud to be a member. They can always be depended upon to furnish stiff competition for any rival at contest time each fall, and this year was no exception. Under the able leadership of Betty Snider, they marched off the field with top honors for the eleventh consecutive year with some strong competitors falling victim to their seemingly effortless exhibition. But don’t let the ease with which they perform fool you for a minute. It isn't all so simple. Mr. Lowell always combines fun with good hard work, and they have come to the conclusion that maybe it's good for them. Any parade must have the high school band to make it a hit, and at every football game they perform with great gusto, and it takes practice. Every individual has a practice period twice a week, and regular band practice on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 7:30 a. m. To belong to this organization, you must be a combination of mechanic, weatherman, musician, with a touch of everything else. too. You never can tell when a valve will stick or a pad will come loose from an instrument, or whether you should bring yoyr boots and raincoat, or your winter coat. Just anything is liable to happen and it usually does. But as long as everyone enjoys it like they do now, you can always depend on Fairfield High School having nothing but the best in marching bands. 39 '50 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL ROW 1—L. Gamble. V'.

Just to make sure band members don’t get out of the early rising habit after march- ing band season is over, our school also has a concert band for the winter season. This group plays at all the basketball games, in addition to the football games in the fall. It would be an utter impossibility for this many students to be regular members of an organization if things were always on the serious side. This gang is a veritable store- house of jokes. Mr. Lowell is very well known for his bright remarks, and soon everyone is telling jokes that some one heard at band practice. The entire school gets to sit in on the annual concert, where everything from Bee- thoven to I Didn t Know the Gun Was Loaded ’ is rendered in the appropriate style. The student body seems to enjoy Panis Angelicus’’ as well as a jazz arrangement of ‘‘Dry Bones. •50 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 41 Concert Band ROW I—P. Lcwell, C. Kepler. J. Weber, D. Johnson, B.

Hav- ing been invited to attend the band festival at Des Moines in June to give a special exhi- bition, they sold food at games and tickets for a concert given by the Iowa State College Band. They worked hard so that they will be able to go to Des Moines with little ex- pense to the individual. When you come right down to it, there really isn’t enough that can be said in the way of worthy thanks to this swell group of musicians; but the school does appreciate all they’ve done towards furthering the outstanding reputation of the school's music depart- ment. 42 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 50 Instrumental Soloists SEATED—V. Heston. J. I.enhart. B. Speer. D. Blair. J. Six. B. Snider. E. Gustason. P. Lowell, B. Lowell. STANDING—H. Macy, L. Hanahaw, D. Horton, B. Harrison, J. Pumroy, D. Heslon, C. Kepler, R. Prill, D. Speer. The instrumental soloists make an exceptionally fine showing at any contest in which they compete. On the first of April, members of this group took part in the pre-district contest in Fort Madison and added ten first division awards to their laurels. Those par- ticipating in the State contest in the fall received four firsts. This group has certainly proven themselves talented in the music field. Clown Band If a stranger to the Fair- field High School should happen to wander in on a session of the Clown Band, we imagine he would be in for quite a shock. This is one group that absolutely no one will ever be sure just what happens when. Pep meetings couldn't be pep meetings with- out them. Oh. maybe everyone is- n't playing the same piece, but after all, it doesn’t matter too much. They give forth with sweet, swing, and march music at any time or place AND gladly. They are probably the most entertaining organi- zation in the music department. When all’s said and done, we always look forward to the Clown Band. Thanks a lot, fellas! « k I i a t '50 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 43 Cornet Trio These three boys make up a very popular group, for when music is in demand for programs in the school or for civic organizations, they are among the first groups considered. They have a varied selection of pieces prepared for instant performance and it is easy to understand their popularity once you hear them. We predict a very bright future for this trio, which is made up of Don Horton. Bob Har- lison. and Park Davidson. Chamber Group of Woodwinds This particular group was just formed this year and has proven to be a very popular one. Being made up of three Bb clarinets and one bass clarinet, it forms a very nice combin- ation. They haven’t performed at many civic affairs, but they make a fine showing at contests. The members of this group are Carol Von Ohlen. Pat Lcwell. Charles Kepler and Gene Schmidt. Two of the group will grad- uate this year, but the ones remaining will be a valuable start for a chamber group of woodwinds next year. Brass Sextet This group, made up of Bob Harrison, joy Hilleary. Don Horton. Don Speer. Jim Pumroy, and Ronnie Prill has the most varied instrumenta- tion of any in the instrumental music department. They received a division one rating in the pre-district contest and practiced hard for the contests that were before them. Three of the members will graduate this year but the remaining three will form an ef- fective nucleus for future groups. Very few schools can boast of as fine a brass sextet as ours. Woodwind Trio The woodwind trio this year con- sists of grade school students. but they have given the high school every reason to be proud to have them rep- resent the school in contests. The trio is made up of Carolyn Monson and Martha Langner playing clarinets and Linda Gamble on the flute. They did a fine job in the pre-district contest at Fort Madison and maintained the rec- ord which last year’s trio had estab- lished. Since they are all in grade school, they give great promise for the future of the woodwind trio. 44 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL •50 Drum Ensemble You say it’s noisy? That isn’t really noise, that’s the drum ensemble practicing for the next contest. Those who play in this group really get a bang out of be- longing to it. And for some rea- son or other, at all the contests they seem to get the smallest room in which to compete. The energetic members of this group are Larry Hanshaw, Emor Bal- lou, Sue Phillips, and Harold M a c y. So on Tuesday and Thursday noons don't be alarmed if it seems unusually loud in the halls, it’s just the drum ensemble. nsemble A snazzie addition to the realms of the music department is this group of flashy lassies. They really made us proud of them at State contest in the fall by bringing down one of the few firsts received by the many en- tries in that division. They are all regular members of the baton twirling class. Obviously, this group is Pete’s favorite. Boys Quartet Everyone always enjoys lis- tening to a boys’ quartet and es- pecially our quartet. This group of boys meets with Mrs. Ruby twice a week at 8 o’clock and did they work hard. This group is composed of two seniors and two juniors. They have sung at al- most every club and church in town and are always well re- ceived. The quartet is composed of Harold Macy, Ron Prill, Charles Kepler, and Park Da- vidson. •50 45 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL Orchestra ROW I—J. Hilleary, B. Marlin, E. Davisson, D. Smith. J. Hoover, G.

Hoage This year the orchestra was composed largely of grade school students who take private lessons from Mr. Ruby during school time. This has done much towards enlarg- ing the future of the high school's orchestra and in helping to make it a fine organization. Having few experienced players this year, the group has practiced diligently and has ac- complished a great deal. They have rehearsals twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 8:00. It is doubtful if a harder working group could be found and their hard work is showing good results. Their playing at graduation exercises is the climax of the year's work, and helps to make it a very impressive program. Most of the members will return next year to make this an even better orchestra. 46 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL •50 Mixed Chorus ROW I—N. Sip . J. Dickinson. C. Cole, B. Bratcher, F. Gustason. J.

Membership in the Fairfield High School Mixed Chorus is not only an honor, but also a fine opportunity for students interested in vocal music to attain more training. In order to be a member of this fine group you not only have to have an outstanding voice, but you have to be able to follow instructions. Mrs. Ruby has worked very hard to make this group a success. The members have enjoyed working with her, as a director, and have gained much experience. This year the practices were held during school time. Students in- terested enough in music have given up their study periods to participate. ’50 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 47 Mixed Chorus ROW I—A. Morrow. J. Hufford. R. Prill. C. Allen. P. Murphy. C.

McSwieney Here is a bunch of hard-working girls who give up their badly needed study periods just to be able to sing in the glee club. 1 his group is composed of forty sophomores and juniors who work very hard to make their group a success. The glee club practices sixth period on Monday and Wednesday. On the days when Mrs. Ruby has Music Auxiliary, there are many strange sounds heard coming from the music room. Of course the girls are practicing!! What else is there for them to do when there is no director present! They usually practice very hard and gain much experience from it. The Madrigal group of Fairfield High School has become one of the most popular of all the smaller groups. The number of singers varies from year lo year. This year there are four boys and five girls, four of whom will graduate this year. During two noon hours every week, long and hard hours were spent practicing. They have ap- peared at the Woman’s Club, Lady Lions and at several school programs. Madrigal received a Division 1 Rating at the contest held at Fort Madison April first. We are hoping to hear much more from them in the near fu- ture. The members of this group are: Shirley Clark. Jean McGiffin. Pat Lowell. Barbara Speer. Carol Von Ohlen. Ron Prill. Franklin Pierson. Jim Pumroy and Bill Smart. 50 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 49 Boys Glee Club ROW I—L. Rothwell. F. Graber, J. Luttcneggcr. J. Hufford, H. Mcay, A. Morrow. ROW 2—E. Fulton. E. Ballou, D. Heston. T. Wood. J.

There is a lot you could say about this group, but we will restrain ourselves. When they really get down to business, they make you want to sit up and listen to their crooning. Of course, they do a lot of other things beside croon. Many of the fellows find it quite hard to keep their eyes open first period, but Lloyd Rothwell wakes them up when he flashes his bright green admit at Mrs. Ruby. We are hoping to hear much more from this group in the future. Mixed Quartet This group is perhaps one of the most versatile in the vocal music department. They special- ize in everything from “Ave Ver- um’ to “Climbing Up the Moun- tain, Children”, which is th?ir favorite. Pictured here are Bob Herrick, Don Piper. Shirley Clark, and Barbara Speer with Jean Pierson at the piano. For all their performances in the latter part of the year. Bob Davis re- placed Bob Herrick. They re- ceived a Division I rating at the first contest and hope to equal it at the later ones. 50 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL ’50 Freshman Chorus ROW I—P. Nelson. D. Cole, S. Thoma S. Rains. B. Wesl, R.

The Freshman Chorus composed of seventy-two members is looking towards the future, for they know that they will have a better chance of being in smaller vocal groups later. We are glad to see so many Freshman interested in vocal music and we are sure that Mrs. Ruby will be able to help them in many ways this year. The only appearance they made this year was at the school's Thanksgiving program. We are hoping to hear from them in the future as members of other vocal organizations. ROW I—C. Stearns. J McGiffin.

Soloists The soloists of our vo- cal department did unus- ually well this year at con- test. All of the soloists lake private voice lessons besides the long hours spent practi- cing at home. Those re- ceiving Division 1 Ratings at the contest held in Fort Madison April 1st were: Jean McGiffin, Pat Fuller, Shirley Clark. Park Da- vidson. Charles Kepler and Ron Prill. ’50 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 51 Double Sextet This is the first time in many years that we have had a Double Sextet. They put in two hours a week practicing very hard with Mrs. Ruby. Should you hear the girls sing, you would appre- ciate their harmony very much and you would want to hear from them again. We are hop- ing to have a double sextet a- gain next year for we know that they will provide us with good music whenever they are called upon. The sextet is composed of: C. Stearns, V. Heston, P. Sheets, S. Phillips, E. Davisson. D. Blair. J. Oldfield. C. Barker, M. Selz, V. Robertson, S. Messer, B. Crile and J. Lenhart. Sophomore Sextet This bunch of girls, the Soph- omore Sextet, has shown much promise of becoming our vocal leaders in the next couple years. 7 hey met after school twice a week to practice. The Sextet has sung for several different organizations and they received a Division II Rating at the con- test held at Fort Madison. The Sextet is composed of: Virgin- ia Heston, Pat Murphy, Pat Sheets, Barbara Gardner. Jan- yce Gaines, Sue Phillips, and accompanist, Jean Pierson. Music Auxiliary This is a very valuable group for the music department to have helping them. The mothers of all members of the music department are automatically members of this very active organization. At home contests they are always on hand bright and early running food booths to finance their latest projects. They also have rummage sales, tag days, or food sales to raise additional funds. They are the ones who purchase merit pins each year for the music students and keep all the departments supplied with uniforms, cleaned and in good re- pair. This year they are helping finance the band's trip to Des Moines for the Cavalcade of Music. These energetic mothers will never know just how proud we are to have them work- ing for us. Here’s our thanks to one swell group. 52 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 1. Home Economic� 2. Letter Club Pop-Seller� . 3. Cafeteria Style 4. The Thinker. 5. Between Clau Antic� . 6. No Pool Hall Now. 7.

By participating in dramatic activities, students earn the ten points necessary for membership in this society. For each ten points earned after membership, you arc advanced to a One, Two, Three, or Four (Honor) Star Thespian. This year’s initiation was held on February 27, and the 17 candidates represented all four of the classes. Nancy Earley and Sue Coen became the only members to be in- itiated into this chapter with the rank of Honor Thespian. After the formal ceremony, new members demonstrated their dramatic ability with informal, unrehearsed skits and pantomincs. Everyone especially enjoyed this part of the initiation, which was followed by a coffee hour in the home economics room. Step right up, ladies and gentlemen! Only ten cents to see the two-headed freak! “ l ake a chance, mister, throw the darts and win a prize! These shouts and many others rang through the girls’ gym when these energetic Thespians held their carnival. Reigning as carnival king and queen were two active speech students, Arvene Morrow and Jayne Stewart. The purpose of the carnival was to raise money for speech contests, but everyone agreed it provided an evening of real fun and entertainment. Along with all Fairfield High School, Pete and Pat are very proud of the excellent work of our National Thespian Troupe No. 544.

They still haven't reached a decision on the question, ’’Resolved: That the President of the United States should be elected by the direct vote of the people.’’ After many weeks of research, study, and practice debates, the teams were chosen. For the A squad Myrna Ain and Jim Weber represented the affirmative side and Elea- nor Staves and Carol Maxwell the negative. The B squad had Martha Selz and Denny Russell on the affirmative and Bob Herrick and John Bucher for the negative. Bob Her- rick also worked as alternate for the A squad first affirmative. Their first contest was an invitational tournament at Iowa City with seven schools ’50 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 55 participating. Each team debated four rounds, and the two Fairfield negative teams each won two debates. Entering the Forensic League Sub-District Contest at Muscatine, March 10 and I I, the A squad won nine debates, entitling them to go to the State Contest. At the State Conest in Iowa City they ranked high, wih six wins out of a possible I 2. Beginning competition in the Speech Association, our A squad made a fine show- ing at the Ottumwa District Contest. Although tied with Muscatine for third place and a chance at the state finals, Lady Luck turned her back upon them, and Fairfield lost by a difference in team rating of one-half point.

Our only superiors were Jayne Stewart and Joyce Dickinson. Each won in two divisions, declam and interpretive reading, allowing them to go to the state contest at Cresco.

Nancy, and Norman were given honorable mention for their individual performances. FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL ’50 56 Night of January 16th F. H. S. opened it� play season with a new and unique drama. “Night of January 16th“. The playgoers were immediately placed in a court room atmosphere with the drawing of 12 jurors from the audience. Even after weeks of rehearsal, the 29 members of the cast and director did not know how the play was going to end, since the decision rested with the jurors. “Karen Andre”, excellently portrayed by Shirley Clark, was on trial for the murder of the wealthy “Bjorn Faulkner”, her employer. The heaviest roles of the play were the two male leads: the district attorney. Jim Pumroy and the defense attorney. Ronald Prill, whose brusque and emphatic approach was a nice contrast to the more deliberate and smooth manner of his opponent. Good acting brought out the personalities of the eleven witnesses which added great interest to the play. At the clcse the jury returned, after much consideration, with a verdict of not guilty”, which met with the approval of the audience. Because of the fine acting, and Miss Moyers' excellent direction, the play was a success. Prison Matron Bailiff ........... Judge Heath ......

This dramatization was taken from Louisa Mae Alcott’s famous novel of the same name. The entire first act was a Christmas setting with the four sisters making plans for the gifts to be presented to Marmee”. Jayne Stewart played the lead role of Jo , the wild tomboy with a de- sire to be the man of the family. “Meg , the oldest of the daughters, was portrayed by Marcia Fry ; and Joyce Dickinson was Amy”, who liked to use big words. Beth , the darling of the family, was played by Jean McGiffin. The sound motherly advice of Marmee . Alice Parsons, finally untangled the girls’ love affairs. Norman Smithart portrayed Laurie , the wealthy boy next door who thought he was in love with Jo”. Additional love interest was supplied by Jim Pumroy as John Brooke . Laurie s tutor who marries Meg . Humor was given to the show by Carol Maxwell as disagreeable Aunt March and Tom Essex as Professor Bhaer’’. Nelson Frescoln. Mr. March , returned from a sol- dier’s hospital to be nursed back to health by his family. The beautiful costumes of the girls, with the hoop-skirts and pantalettes of the Civil War period, added an authentic touch to this excellent produc- tion. Cast Jo .

This play gave the members of the cast an excellent opportunity to in- terpret character roles. It all began as a pleasant weekend for nine sorority sisters in their mountain clubhouse. It ended in a nightmare of terror with the discovery of a killer in their midst. The first act was a flashback to the prologue of the murder, that was committed three years before, when the death of a college girl made radio and newspaper headlines. Nancy Earley was cast as “Mary O’Ryan , the girl from across the tracks who murders two of her friends. “Paula , who is never seen on stage, and “Alice”, played by Dorothy Roach. Humor was added by Myrna Ain as Shotput , the athlete; ever-rehearsing “Glamorpuss”, Joyce Lenhart; and the radical Frieda , Sue Coen. The two inseparable pledges were Alice Davisson and Shirley Olson. Ap- pearing in the prologue were “Phyliss”, Doris Blair, and Jane”, Pat Lowell. “Jane’s” knowledge as a medical student came in handy during later episodes. The courage and determination of “Eve , portrayed by Eleanor Staves, finally halted the killer. There was no room for gloom when these girls got together for an exciting weekend that re- sulted in real entertainment for the audience. Cast Jane F rieda Alice Eve Sharcn (Glamorpuss) Shirley .....

The choice of the class of 1951 was the play. “Sense and Sensibility”, taken from Jane Austen’s famous novel, presented on January 26 and 28. The three Dashwood daughters “Marianne”, “Margaret”, and “Elinor”, were portrayed by Marcia Fry, Jayne Stewart, and Jean McGiffin. Their mother, who appeared in the same role with them in “Little Women”, was Alice Par- sons. The story centers around “Marianne’s” love for dashing “John Willoughby”, Bill Smart, and quiet, unselfish “Colonel Brandon”, Franklin Pierson; and “Elinor’s” un- happy romance with Edward herrars”. Bob Krane. Humor is supplied by impish “Mar- garet”, the youngest daughter. Other roles well played were “Sir John”, “Lady Middle- ton”, their two children, “Robert herrars”, two sisters. “Anne” and “Lucy Steele”, the maid Gibson”, and snobbish “Mrs. Ferrars”. Everyone agreed this drama of the em- pire period supplied two evenings of delightful entertainment.

Secretary ....... Ireasurer Only 16 girls were chosen to be members of this year’s Choral Speaking Choir. Every Tuesday and Thursday noon they rehearse in the speech room under Miss Moyers’ direction. In their pastel sweaters and dark skirts, these girls have performed for many church groups, and also, between acts of the play, Nine Girls”. Of special interest was their participation in the nation-wide World Day of Prayer services at the Christian Church on February 24. Do you remember a certain Wednesday in April when 16 weary, worn-out girls tried to catch ”40 Winks” in every class? The Choral Speaking Choir certainly does, because the night before they had a slumber party in the home economics room. That brings up the old question, “Why is it called a slumber party anyway, since nobody gets any sleep?” This was especially true for them, although everyone agreed it was a great deal of fun. Choral speaking has had its third very successful year in our high school, providing not only entertainment for the school and community, but teaching appreciation of litera- ture and developing co-operation among its members. 50 F A I R FI E L I) H I G H SCHOOL CURTAIN!

Five seniors, five juniors, four sophomores, and four freshmen were elected by their respective classes. Meetings are held every Tuesday noon, with Dick Goodwin, the president, presiding. Among their duties were selecting movies for the remainder of the school year, choos- ing all pay assemblies for next year, approving extracurricular activities, and sponsoring clean-up day in the spring. This is one day to which the entire student body looks forward, as everyone is included in the activity. Raking, digging dandelions, and burning leaves are the main tasks with the environment being changed from mental to physical labor. Apples were served at the close of the afternoon, which definitely hit the spot. T he candidates for the Levi Leap were selected by the Student Council. They selected two boys and two girls from each class, and in turn each class elected their boy and girl representatives. Each person who attended the Levi Leap cast his vote for Levi Lee” and Levi Lena”. Hats off to Miss Peterson, the sponsor, and the Student Council for the fine job which they have done. •50 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 67 Penscratchers SEATED—Jayne Stewart. Freddie Miller. Eleanor Slave . STANDING—Nick Martin. Jim Stewart. Although there were only six Penscratchers voted in by the Quill Staff this year, they fulfilled their tasks wonderfully. There were twenty-eight applications filed by the Juniors. They were busy every minute; trimming pictures, soliciting advertising, helping with write-ups and photography, besides adding much fun to the Quill Staff meetings. The Penscratchers are gaining know-how this year, since some of these will prob- ably bear the load of the 1951 Quill, although being a Penscratcher does not necessarily mean they will be elected on the Quill Staff next year. Jayne Stewart helped with the Specialties; Nick Martin with Athletics: Joanne Phillips with Music; Jim Stewart and Freddie Miller with Classes; Eleanor Staves with Dramatics.

To start things rolling, the officers were installed in a very impressive ceremony. However, the project to which the freshmen and new girls looked forward to was the drawing of names of Little Sisters. For a week the Big Sisters wrote letters, and sent small trinkets to their Little Sisters. Then they were entitled to learn their identity. Both fun and seriousness were on the agenda this year. Rev. Williamson spoke to us about his visit to the United Nations, a joint meeting with the Hi-Y held in store a Hit Parade, and Mary Lou Hoerner, Colleen Cromer, Marcia Fry, Eleanor Staves, Janyce Gaines, Nancy Zillman, and Betty Snider related their experiences at Y-Teen Summer Conference. Some sophomore girls presented a play entitled More Perfect Union which had a lesson for each of us. The Thanksgiving. Christmas, and Easter programs were all carried on with much reverence. In connection with the Christmas program Chocolate Bars were sent to Europe and a collection was taken by the Hi-Y and Y-Teen to be used to furnish baskets here at home. Much credit goes to their sponsors. Miss Calvert and Mrs. Ruby, and to the cabinet for the fine job that’s been done. —PAT •50 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 69 Hi-y FRONT—H. Macy, P. Gamble, B. Stewart, J.

Mr. Hays of the Hay’s Hobby Shop, tried to arouse the boys' interest in hobbies by airplane and racer demonstrations. The Hi-Y and Y-Teens were co-sponsors of the very impressive Thanksgiving. Christmas, and Easter services. At Christmas time we sent packages to the Orphans Home in Ottumwa and the needy families in town. The Hi-Y sponsored the Levi Leap where Jim Stewart and Joanne Phillips reigned as Levi Lee and Levi Lena. I wish you could have been here as we surely had fun. The Iowa Hi-Y Youth and Government meeting in Des Moines was attended by Senator Ronnie Baker and Representative Nick Martin who were elected by the HiA cabinet. They presented a bill on the swimming pool to the House and Senate to be voted upon. Besides gaining experience and knowledge, they had a good time.

As a means of raising money, they sponsored a dance the first semester after the Oskaloosa game. The Letter Club paid $180 for a block and tackling machine which they donated to the Athletic Department. It was their goal to purchase new furniture for the Letter Club Room. Also they are putting up a plaque in the Letter Club Room for the All State teams and those who received All Conference recognition. The highlights of the year were the football and basketball initiations. The parents of the Letter Club members and the Pep Club Girls were invited to the football initia- tion, November 15. We’ve often wondered if Wienie Nelson has learned to skate since that fateful night. Afterwards movies were shown and a dance was held. Basketball initiation was held. April I 4th, with Lee Kane and Dick Kelley as the only initiates. A party with plenty of refreshments followed, with the cheer leaders and girl friends of the Letter Club members as guests. We believe the Letter Club can well be proud of what it accomplished this year. •50 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL Pep Club ROW I—M. Whitney, H. SamueUon, J. Hllleary. J. Stewart. M. Nelaon. M. A. Dri«h.

They are easily recognized as they are smartly dressed in black skirts and sweaters with orange owls. To gain admission into this organization a girl must have maintained a B average. Each year five freshman girls are chosen, and five different girls the sophomore year. From these ten girls, five are selected to be permanent members their junior and senior years. Heading the highlights of this year's activities were the football and basketball ban- quets. Mr. De Kalb, dressed as Santa Claus, helped carry out the theme of Santa’s Sleighride for the football banquet. Springtime was the theme of the basketball ban- quet. As for the pep stunts in pep meetings, not too many were presented, but what few there were really went over with a bang. How can we forget the time we laid Mt. Plea- sant in the grave, or the time we portrayed the student body in the “Pepless Pep Meet- ing. This year the Pep Club’s dream came true. We were given room 205 which serves as a place to spend spare time. The girls furnished it themselves with ping pong table, radio, phonograph, davenports and chairs. From here on out it will be known as the “Owl’s Nest.” Thanks to Miss Van Dyke and Miss O’Conner for their assistance given to the girls as sponsors. •50 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL Library Club Sponsor President Vice-Pres.

The work meetings consist of straightening magazines, shelving books, alphabetizing cards, pasting pockets in new books, and decorating the bulletin boards. Besides collecting absence slips, the library is sometimes left in charge of a senior Library Club member. During Book Week a tea for the faculty, including Mr. Pence and Mr. Saur, and junior high school teachers, was held in the library. Refreshments of punch and cookies were served after looking over the new books and visiting. A large Christmas tree provided the setting for an exchange of gifts, along with other decorations on the bulletin boards. This was the orfiy tree in the school for quite some- time until one was placed in the middle hall. The last meeting of the year was a picinic at Chautauqua Park, which was held for the seniors. A good time was had by all with plenty of food for everyone. With 17 new members welcomed this year, the Library Club should be quite cap- ably carried on. Much credit goes to the sponsor.

This was the second banquet held and from the success of these two. it looks like it will be an annual affair. A breakfast was held by the lake, for the seniors.

Coach Sebben. ably assisted by Ray Schafer, worked hard this year, and even though his team was plagued with many bad breaks, they still produced a most reputable record. The loss of the services of their stellar end. Bob Stewart, who was sidelined with a leg injury, was keenly felt by the entire squad.

ROGER COOP CO-C APT. NORMAN SMITH ART 1 his year Roger Coop and Norman Smithart completed their last season for th? Fairfisld High School football team. Coop made the first All-Conference team and Smithart the second team. Coop s rugged line play and SmitharCs powerful line plung- ing from his fullback position, made them one of the most feared twosomes in the conference. Fleetfooted Dick Speer held down the left halfback position for his last year, and played exceptionally well. Speer was usually the boy who shook loose for those long touchdown jaunts. Bob Harrison, triple threat quarterback for the past two seasons, poses before flip- ping another of the many aerials he completed during the season. Harrison’s abil- ity to carry the ball and al- so punt made him a real threat to the opposing teams. Completing the other end of the aerial attack for F. H. S. was Dick Goodwin, senior end. Goodwin was a regular end for two years and played his posi- tion well on both offense and defense. Pete Wickliff, ace line plunger and backer, played his last game for the Orange and Black this year. Wickliff. a regular half- back for the past two seasons was always good for those few feet for that next first and ten. •50 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 81 Games Dick Speer, Trojan half-back i� brought down by an unidentified Bulldog. OSKALOOSA SEPT. 9-6-0 A touchdown pass from Harrison to Bob Stewart spelled the margin of defeat for the Indians. Our gridders showed a lot of spirit which made up for their lack of finesse. KEOKUK SEPT. 16-26-13 This victory was the result of a power-laden ground attack combined with a very effective air barrage. The Trojans, who were rated a two touchdown underdog, exploded for four touchdowns while holding Keokuk to two. It was Harrison to Stewart in the air, and Smithart and Speer on the ground. FT. MADISON SEPT. 23-0-20 A game crew of Trojans tasted their first defeat of the season as the speedy Blood- hound's backfield proved too much for our gridders. The Trojans’ strength was consider- ably weakened in the early minutes of the second quarter when they lost the services of their stellar end. Bob Stewart. OTTUMWA SEPT. 20-0-6 Fumbles and penalties took their toll on this fateful night. The Trojans outplayed their opponents in everything except the score. The Trojans were repeatedly in Ottum- wa territory only to fumble or have their offense bog down. Speer ran fifty-nine yards for a touchdown, only to have the official say he stepped out of bounds. 82 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL '50 Games Dick Goodwin, Trojan end. eludes a Bulldog defender as he goes for a loose ball. WASHINGTON OCT. 7-6-13 After holding a 6-0 lead at halftime the Trojans fell before a last half drive in one of the hardest fought contests of the year. It was the ball lugging of Wickliff and Smith- art that set up the lone Trojan touchdown with Smithart finally scoring. MT. PLEASANT OCT. 14-14-13 The Trojans came back strong in the second half to overcome the Panthers’ six point lead. It was a hard fought battle with Speer playing his best game of the season. MUSCATINE OCT. 27-7-13 The Trojans completely dominated the ball game the first half only to fall beneath the on-rushing Muskies in the last. Smithart and Wickliff made repeated gains through the lines and the latter scored a touchdown that was called back. A pass play from Har- rison to Goodwin, which covered twenty-five yards, produced the lone Trojan tally. CENTERVILLE OCT. 28-34-0 The Trojans played their best ball of the season in overpowering the Big Reds. The win was essentially a team victory as both the linemen and backs turned in a good ac- count of themselves. The rugged defensive play of Coop, Lawson, Horras, the plunges of Smithart and Wickliff and the passing combination of Harrison to Martin proved too much for the Big Reds. •50 83 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL Games Jim Stewart backed up by an unidentified Trojan pulls down an unidentified Bulldog BLOOMFIELD NOV. 4—28-12 Caught napping the first play from scrimmage, the Trojans fought back with a three-touchdown-third-quarter, to beat the Maroons. This was the last game for several seniors on their home field, but it will long be remembered by them. Four seniors: Speer. Wickliff, Goodwin and Harrison scored the touchdowns for the Trojans. BURLINGTON NOV. 11-14-34 The swift Greyhounds knew they had a ball game on their hands when the hard hitting Trojans scored first. In the early minutes the Trojans marched sixty yards, cli- maxed by an eight yard aerial from Wickliff to Speer. The score does not reveal the terrible battle that was fought, and though the Trojans finished far below the Greyhounds in conference standing, the Trojans proved to Burlington that they were the toughest ball club they had met. 84 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL '50 Lightweight Football ROW 1—D.

Even though the scores do not show a too promising outlook for the future, you must take into consideration that our freshmen and sophomores were playing against many juniors and seniors from the other schools. Don Brown, in his first year as Lightweight Football coach, molded a bunch of rag- ged prospects into a fine group of up and coming athletes.

Coach Frank Sebben and his Trojan cagers can now look back over a season that has brought one of the best records in ten years to Fairfield High School. The 1950 squad racked up a record of 13 wins and seven defeats, but the defeat which was the hardest of all to take was the 44-43 one at Ottumwa, when we lost by only a free throw in the last five seconds. Two junior cagers led the Trojan scoring. Larry Manary, guard, with 152 points and Nick Martin, center, with 142. Both Manary and Martin w'ere placed on the second All-Conference team. Six seniors played their last game for the Orange and Black. They were Bob Stew- art, Bob Harrison, Pete Wickliff. Dick Goodwin, Ronnie Baker, and Wayne Nelson.

BLOOMFIELD NOV. 23. 1949-36-33 The opening encounter of the 1950 cage season started off with a bang as the F. H. S. cagers snatched their first victory of the season at the expense of the Bloomfield Maroons. Dick Goodwin was the boy who clinched the victory in the final seconds as his all important bucket put the Trojans out in front to stay. Bob Stewart led the scoring with ten points. WAYLAND NOV. 29. 1949-38-29 Coming to life in the third quarter the F. H. S. cagers pulled away from a tough little Wayland five. Wayland failed to take advantage of the ragged Trojan playing while the locals had enough “know how to come through. OTTUMWA DEC. 2. 1949-40-57 The Ottumwa Bulldogs proved too much for the Trojans, as last year’s State Champs opened the 1949-50 Conference season. At halftime the Trojans were 9 points behind, and early in the third quarter they pulled to within 3 points only to have the Bulldogs come back strong. Pete Wickliff led the scoring with 10 points, followed closely by Nick Martin with nine points. KEOKUK DEC. 9. 1949-34-37 The Trojans made a gallant try to overtake the Purple Chiefs in the final minutes of the ball game, but their efforts failed. The Sebbcnmen had a cold night at the bas- ket, hitting 21% of their shots. Ronnie Baker led the scoring with 8 points, while Jim Stewart, Nick Martin, and Bob Harrison each made six. MT. PLEASANT DEC. 16. 1949-42-38 The Trojans racked up their first Conference victory as they dulled the claws of the Panthers. In racking up their first loop victory, the Men of Troy displayed some of the best basketball this season so far.

This victory aided the Men of Troy in com- piling a perfect non-conference record. Jim Stewart was high with I 3 points. WASHINGTON DEC. 23. 1949-39-40 Although the Trojans were handicaped by the small Demon floor, they played one of their best games of the season. The Trojans went ahead early in the first quarter and never relinquished the lead. Big Nick Martin was high for the Trojans as he rolled in eight field goals and two free throws for 1 8 points. MUSCATINE DEC. 30. 1949-32-37 After matching the Muskies for three quarters, the Trojans faltered slightly in the last quarter to let the Muskies take an important victory. It was a nip-and-tuck affair all the way. Larry Manary led the Trojans with nine points, followed closely by Jim Stewart and Nick Martin with eight and six respectively. FT. MADISON JAN. 6. 1950-36-51 Turning to a dazzling fast break and riding on the shooting eye of the forward. Lee Kane, the Trojans had the Bloodhounds smelling nothing but misery and defeat the whole night. Kane was high for the night with 22 points. BURLINGTON JAN. 13. 1950-38-47 A disastrous third quarter spelled doom for the Fairfield Trojans as they bowed to the Burlington Greyhounds. Again it was even terms for three quarters, but during the start of the fourth quarter the Greyhounds caught fire and built a lead that they maintained the rest of the game. Manary took scoring honors with 12 points. •50 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 89 Games Guard Jim Stewart capitalizes on a Keokuk bad pass, as brother Bob and Nick Marlin look on encouragingly CENTERVILLE JAN. 17. 1950-57-40 A blistering fourth quarter rally enabled the Fairfield Trojans to rack up a 57-40 victory over the Big Reds in a non-conference tilt. After a cold third quarter, the Fair- field fighting five led by Harrison and Manary turned red hot. Manary paced the Trojans’ attack with I 4 points, followed closely behind by Harrison, who rolled in I 3. OTTUMWA JAN. 20. 1950-43-44 Wow! 1 Just lost by one point to the 1949 State Champs. Jim Stewart. Trojan guard, held down Ottumwa's all-stater, Jerry Davis, while big brother. Bob, and running mate Lawrence Manary, carried the brunt of the scoring. Losing by only a free throw in the final seconds the Trojans took the toughest defeat of the season. KEOKUK JAN. 24. 1950-47-44 The Trojans did it this time! The battling Trojans came roaring back in the last half to overtake their taller rivals, the Keokuk chiefs, to win a thrill-a-minute contest. Every Trojan played a whale of a ball game. Martin and Kane were high for the Trojans with 14 points each. MT. PLEASANT JAN. 27. 1950-54-44 Lawrence Manary rolled in 23 points to lead the Trojans to their second victory of the season over the Mt. Pleasant Panthers. Fairfield took an early 14-7 lead and never relinquished it for the remainder of the game. WASHINGTON FEB. 3. 1950-57-43 The Trojans won their third successive victory by whipping the Washington Demons. It was an unimpressive but very important victory, with the Trojans leading all the way. Lee Kane, left-handed forward, pumped in 20 points. 90 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL •50 Games The tense moment of a jump ball, as Bob Stewart leaps for the tip, and the other Trojans are Lee Kane No. 31 and Niclt Martin. MUSCATINE FEB. 7. 1950-37-48 The Fairfield Trojans fell apart completely both offensively and defensively as they bowed to a taller Muscatine five in this all important game. The Trojans were just too tight and tense to play their regular brand of ball. FT. MADISON FEB. 10. 1950—43-33 The Fairfield Trojans methodically ground out a 43 to 33 victory over the Blood- hounds as they insured themselves of at least a 50% record in the final loop standing. Martin was high for the Trojans with 12 points, followed by Jim Stewart with nine and Lawrence Manary with seven. Bob Stewart and Nick Martin controlled rebounds on both boards. CENTERVILLE FEB. 14. 1950-42-37 A long, tiring trip plus an inspired Centerville quintet almost spelled doom for the Fairfield Trojans. Shot after shot failed to find the Trojan bucket. The game was saved as the Sebbenmen found themselves in a fourth-quarter stall. BURLINGTON FEB. 17. 1950-36-48 The Fairfield Trojans showing signs of staleness, put on the worst display of bas- ketball this season against the Greyhounds. The only bright spot in the otherwise dismal evening was Pete Wickliff, as he put on a one-man scoring spree in the fourth period to lead the scoring with I 7 points. WILSON OF CEDAR RAPIDS FEB. 24. 1950-52-47 Coming from behind in the last quarter, the Trojans really had to pour it on to overtake their taller opponents from the Quaker Oats City. It was after the automatic time out before Harrison tied it up at 43 all, the first time the score had been even. Bob Harrison, a senior, playing his last scheduled game for Fairfield was high with 14 points. DISTRICT OSKALOOSA MAR. 8, 1950-36-41 A disastrous second quarter spelled doom for the Fairfield Trojans as they bowed to Oskaloosa in their opening game of the district tournament. The Trojans battled valiantly in the third and fourth frames but they were never able to close the gap. Martin played a whale of a game and led the scoring with 12 points. Several Trojans wore the orange and black for their last time, they were Bob Harrison, Bob Stewart. Pete Wick- liff, Ronnie Baker, Dick Goodwin, and Wayne Nelson. •50 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL Junior Varsity ROW I—C. Allen, B. Smart, B. Krane, W. Lawson. D. Horton, L. Kane. ROW 2—Coach D. Brown, J.

Beginning with Centerville whom they downed 66-40, they started to roll, and won nine out of their last ten games. Coach Ray Schafer molded a very good team which has several players who should prove to be definite threats to varsity berths next year.

This is something that we of Fairfield High have been wishing to say for a long time. The Trojan Fall track men finally made this a reality. For the first time in the history of the school the Trojan milers finished first in the Class A competition of Iowa. Every year the Fairfield Trojans enter in the one mile team race held at Iowa City for all schools in Iowa who wish to enter. As the runners cross the finish line they are given points according to their placement; the winner receives 1 point, second, 2 points, and on down to the last one, then the points of the first three of each school are tallied and the sum is the score. The team with the lowest score is the winner. Lawrence Manary, running a spectacluar race, finished first, with Wayne Davis right behind him. James Hilleary finished fifth to give the Trojans their winning score of eight points, followed by Cedar Rapids with 18 points. TWO MILE CROSS COUNTRY The Fairfield Trojans again invaded Iowa City to show other Class A schools of Iowa that they could also run the distance races with the same results. Another Champion- ship for Fairfield! The Two Mile Cross Country is run the same as the mile team race, except that the distance is increased, and instead of running around the usual cinder track, they follow the course set by the University of Iowa. Lawrence Manary, leading the Trojans, and also the rest of the runners, broke the tape to be declared winner. Wayne Davis was nosed out in the last few yards but still garnered a third place. James Hilleary, repeating his past performance, finished fifth, to give Fairfield the winning score of nine points. •50 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 95 Spring Track ROW I—J. Bradley. F. McClurg. B. McKee.

Kelly, B. Crew, M. Leathers. B. Seaman. These athlete's nurse maids really earned the letters this year as equipment managers of the F. H. S. athletic teams. Theirs is the job of handling all the equipment, from football cleats to track batons. We hardly realize the services they render and surely they receive none of the glory the athletes do. Coach Sebben, taking pride in his orderly kept equipment cage, really keeps these boys on their toes. R. Godwin. K. Paul. L. Macy, L. Davi� , F. Sudcrmann. J. Ogden A group of fellows that we all remember and admire for their outstanding duties is the Financial Managers. When we think of the Financial Managers, many of us think only that they operate the movie machine and forget that they handle the majority of the athletic department’s funds, punch our pay books at the football and basketball games, besides selling tickets. All the Financial Managers certainly deserve their letters and have really done a swell job! 98 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL ’50 1. Music Festival 2. Posters for Carnival 3. Keller and Gardner 4.

This event is looked forward to by the entire student body. The Y-Teens were the able sponsors of the Ball, as they have been for some time. Both students and teachers gathered in celebration of the occasion, in the gay fes- tivity of the theme of the evening, The Harvest Moon. Two Co-Captains, Norman Smithart, and Roger Coop, were chosen from the Varsity Football Squad to officiate at the crowning. Ten girls were chosen from the senior class for the Court of Honor by vote of the entire football squad. The dress for the members of the court was formal, and the gay colors were breath-taking in the beauty of their setting. When the hour arrived to pick the queen. Norman walked the length of the gym floor and escorted Doris Blair to her throne. The other Varsity members escorted the Queen's Attendants in the Grand March. The Aristocrats supplied the music for the evening, and all present enjoyed themselves dancing to the theme of the Harvest Moon.

And we know we’ve done some wrong. A� freshmen we ran the halls. And as sophomores we took our falls. But as juniors hardy and strong. We anticipate the year to come. When finally seniors we become, The mighty rulers of our school. We discover the greatest ambitions Of an uneducated fool. As Pete and Pat look in on their friends some years hence, they first sight Maggie Whitney roar- ing down Main Street in her new Rolls Royce. Our next old friend we find at sea, it s Carol Maxwell, alias Maud Island Myrtle, piloting her twin stacked stern wheeler down the angry, surging Cedar. Bill Lawrence and Ronnie Prill have been hired by the President of the United States to create a dust storm in Kansas to raise the price of wheat and steaks. Pat and 1 made a special effort to get to the Met to hear two of our old school mates, Don Piper and Shirley Clark, sing in “Lohengrin . Due to the fall of the Rockefeller millions, there came to the front another Philanthropist. Pal and 1 found Pete Gamble administering over a staff of slaves in the First National’s cellar. Some of the executives are: Mr. James Pumroy, District Manager of the Swiss Cheese Division of the National Tea Company: and Mr. Francis De Kalb. Treasurer, kept in the vault to watch the money and let out once a year on New Year's Day to gather a little cheer and chase their blues away. When Pat and 1 visited the White Sands Proving Grounds, we found Phil Trumbo. world re- nowned physicist, still chasing flying saucers. Roger Coop has been hired by the Chicago Cubs for the cpening season. This will be quite strenuous for Roger, who is now working for the Chesterfield Com- pany. Wilbur Speer has just captured the crown from Mel Patton in the grueling two-twenty. The team of Cochran. Pattison, and De Guisne are on their way to Fngland to debate against the Oxford Debate Team. James Alfred Klise lost the 500 mile Indianapolis race to Robert Gordon Courtney by one lap. It seems on the 449th lap, Klise blew a gasket and lost his gold plated false teeth. Ronald Ellsworth Baker, famous artist, has just completed his latest work of art entitled. “Space”. Doris Blair has become the heart-throb of the nation in her latest picture. Return to Strombolie . To the suppressed impoverished millions, who no doubt suffer from the voters blues. Norman Smithart is President of these United States, by the female ticket. Bob Harrison, author of the current hit song, “My Henrietta Has Halatosis”, is now splurging his millions in some of the hottest spots. Jack Cavenee, famous golfer, has just won for himself the proud position of caddy for Slammin Sneed at the young age of 32. Yesterday, one of Harvard’s new calculating machines broke down while calculating the National Debt. Dolores Johnson was quickly summoned. Virginia Clarridge has just been accorded the distinguished honor of being the first female police chief of Fairfield. When we returned to Fairfield, we found the government of the city very capably handled by Mayor Bob Stewart. He had gained valuable experience for this position by serving as president of our senior class. John Kyle has just opened a barber shop on the south side of the square to accomodate Fairfield s lushing trade. A new and thriving businessman has just completed his second year in business in Fair- field. Hilleary Sporting Goods, on the west side of the square. Among other new business establishments that have sprouted up in the recent years. Goodwin's Hot Rod Shop ranks as one of the best in town. Charles Kepler has recently edited and published a series of articles. “The Evils of Comic Books”. Betty Snider and Nancy Zillman have dyed their hair led and have joined the “Red Heads”, a famous girls' basketball team. While Pal and I were traveling to Arkansas, we stopped along the road to watch a hog calling contest. We were surprised to find some of our old school mates at this event. Frank Buckingham, founder of the Buckingham Interstate Hog Buyers, was sponsor and judge. We were informed that a state wide search was underway for F.ugent Hiatt’s voice, lost while calling a litter of Wort Hogs. Frank gave us a list of his executives whom we knew from school days. They are as follows: Rodger Prince, Vice-President in charge of pen repairs. Alva Eshelman. in charge of feeding. John Ogden, in charge of the new fleet of Buick Semi's. Harold Laughlin, in charge of all new litters. We are proud to report on the successfulness of the Senior Class with which we graduated. As the fleeting light of day gives way. Ccme the stars and moonlit night; We pledge this never ceasing struggle to be Not a losing fight.
