4 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 50 memorial Dedication J. F. T. 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.
