Barbara Marley Betty Snider, Mag Whitney James Hilleary, Leslie Cochran Ronnie Prill Dick Goodwin Tom Essex Last fall thirty-four seniors filed applications in the library to become members of the Quill Staff. 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 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.
