lie Quill Published by c7 te Seni i GladA Volume 40 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL fyosi wonA Another year - another Quill — another volume now added to the history of Fairfield High School. It will be we, the seniors, who will first realize that many of the happi- est times of our lives were spent in these halls, and it is for the seniors that this story of the year’s high- lights is presented. The classes -- pleasant, instructive, or boring; study hours in the library; parties and dances, with their fun and compan- ionship; sports contests and athletic participations with their excitement and exhilaration --all these past ex- periences come out of the vague cloud of memory and live again in the concrete picturization on the pages of our yearbook.

During his 24 years in the Fairfield Public Schools he has been instrumental in the erection of one of the finest educational institutions in the state of Iowa. Studying, planning, weighing the facts and figures over and over again in his mind, he helped to make one of the wisest investments made in 1939. W. G. PENCE A man who has given 24 years of his life to the Fairfield Public Schools . . . who has achieved as much for the system as any other individual in his tenure of administration. Coming in personal contact with more than 10,000 students, knowing and sharing their de- sires — and wants — and am- bitions, ever striving to do every- thing possible to counsel them and start them out straight on the long road of life. Mr. Pence has done as much as any living man toward paving the future of youth. There could be no one more proud of this fine building. Ask any first year student at F. H. S. what one of the first things is he learns when he enters as a freshman. You will find that over and over again the answer will be. We must have great concern over the care of the entire school plant. Now, I 1 years after the final brick has been laid, people journey from nearly every state in the United States to study the layout and construction of Fairfield High School. At the untimely passing of J. F. T. Saur in Jaunary, 1950, long time principal of F. H. S., Mr. Pence was the man who so ably performed the double duties of both principal and superintendent of schools. For nearly six months Mr. Pence pondered and worried about upholding the responsibilities of a high school principal, as well as carrying on the administrative duties of his own office. We, the Staff of ’51, hereby dedicate our Quill to Superintendent W. G. Pence in grateful appreciation for his friendship and guidance throughout his many years of service and leadership in Fairfield High School. •51 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 7 A MemMial to- .. . Pearl M. DeKalb We're sure that every studenl who has entered Fairfield High School since that day sixteen years ago when Mr. DeKalb be- gan what was to be over a dec- ade full of advice and guidance, has felt his ability to understand and properly counsel them. Whether it was from the fel- lowship acquired through a weekly Hi-Y meeting, which was always high on his list of interests, or a class of Bible, Spanish, English, mathematics, or science, the result was the same. Perhaps the versatility of his skill was due to the fact that with his teaching duties went his fatherly guidance, which he considered equal to his scholastic responsibilities. The times are countless when he has led the student body through periods of difficulty and trouble. How many Holy Week — Easter — Thanks- giving — and Christmas Services has Mr. DeKalb directed during his span of service to the youth of Fairfield High School? These, too, are countless. The memory of Mr. DeKalb will live in the hearts of the students who knew him, long after these words are forgotten. A TRIBUTE It's not the goodbye service. That I will remember of him. But the way he understood me. And helped me when I came. I want to think of his service In the glory of his God; I want to think of young men He helped along the road. 1 want to remember the way God lived in his daily life; And how he loved the beauty Of flowers, stars and woods! His cheerful way of working. His joking at trouble and task; I want to remember him always As I saw him living in life. So I say goodbye to father As he takes the friendly road To the house of many mansions. He forever made his goal. —VICTOR DEKALB 8 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL •51 lite feoaldo-jj Cducatio-n . . .

President Pice-President Secretary Treasurer The Board of Education is composed of five members who are elected for a term of three years by the citizens of the community. The duty of these men is to formulate the administrative and educational policies of the Fairfield Public School System. Upon the agenda of the past year have been many ponderous problems of a varied nature. Among these are the supervision and upkeep of all school property, the purchasing of all text books and supplementary materials, and the establishment of modern policies to meet the changing curriculum needs. •51 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 9 Adminilbiatio-n . . .

It has been a real pleasure to have worked with the faculty and student body of Fairfield High School during the past year. Special congratulations should go to the members of the Class of 1951 for the wonderful way in which they have made so many fine contributions to the welfare of the school and community. They are typical of the high type of citizen which the high schools of America are training to meet the per- plexing problems of the contemporary age. Again, congratulations to the Class of 1951! Classes which follow you will do well to live up to the high goals you have set. A. W. SALISBURY W. G. PENCE, Superintendent MRS. MAR't PEEBLER, Secretary 10 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 51 faculty .

How about a rub-down Joe.” Those are some of the phrases you hear down in the cage. When an athlete needs some kind of equipment they ask the Equipment Managers. These fellows are the coach's right hand men. Without them, F. H. S. could not participate in athletics. Their work is not complete with just handing out equipment, they must also clean and repair it, which is a big job in itself. B. Wood, H. Macy. K. Paul. L. Drish, L. Halsey The school greatly admires the work of the businessmen of the student body, the financial managers. Besides being in charge of the athletic department funds, they shoulder the re- sponsibilities of the selling of all tickets at the football and basketball games and the operation of the movie machine during all the general movies throughout the school year. For their work, like the equipment managers, they are awarded a letter at the end of the season. FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL •51 (Dun. Htanki 7o . . . THE COOKS Mrs. Lucille Cox, Mr .

Although the Trojans led off the season with a poor start by losing their first game, they gained strength rapidly and made this the most successful season in the last decade. The Trojans racked up four victories against three defeats, with two contests ending in ties out of their nine game schedule. All of the victories came in the rugged Little Six Conference. The Trojans ended up with a third place rating in the conference and placed more men on All-Conference teams than any other school in the league. The team missed the services of Ray Brokken, 190 pound starter at the guard position, w’ho was injured early in practice and missed the entire season.

WARREN LAWSON WAYNE HORRAS The Trojans led the Little Six Conference by placing three men on the first All- Conference team. They were: Wayne Horras. Bob Krane. and Jim Stewart. Horras, the husky Trojan guard, who was also chosen on the second all state team of the Iowa Daily Press Association, was the best guard to be seen on the Trojan gridiron for many years. Krane, the sturdy tackle in the Trojan line, was constantly a threat to the opponents backfield. Stewart, the hard driving fullback, who thrived in mauling the opponent’s line, was ranked with the best in this section of the state. The Trojans also placed Warren Lawson on the second All-Conference team, and Dick Smith, Fred Miller. Marvin Stanley, Nick Martin, Frank McClurg, and Dick Wilson received All-Conference honorable mention. HONORABLE MENTION BOB KRANE JIM STEWART FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 45 •51 VaMdtif, Op H i . . .

OSKALOOSA—SEPTEMBER 15. 1950-0-15 The first half spelled defeat for the Trojans when they allowed the Indians to acquire a lead of 15 points, which they were never able to overcome. The Trojans played a better second half, but didn't have the scoring punch to pull this one through. KEOKUK—SEPTEMBER 22. 1950-19-0 After again learning the basic fundamentals of blocking and tackling following the Oskaloosa game, the Trojans exploded with an abundance of power to overcome th� smaller Chiefs by a score of 19-0. This was strictly a team victory with all of the line displaying the determination to play football. Touch-downs were scored by Jim Dabner. Frank McClurg. and Dick Wilson. V ut LINEMEN: B. Krane. J.

This brick and concrete monument will crmenl our memory of the man who has done much toward the true development of the youth of Fairfield. J. F. T. (Ted) Saur. We Seniors, and all who were under Ted at one time or another during his 31 years at Fairfield High School, knew him as a real friend of students who could readily understand the problems facing them. The memorial was made possible by the generous contributions of the alumni who graduated under the administration of Mr. Saur and the townspeople who came in contact with him during his long tenure at Fairfield High School. The memorial is known as “THE TED SAUR ENTRANCE. The entrance, located at the south end of the Fairfield High School stadium on East Broadway, is a brick structure that serve� as a ticket booth, the upper part of which houses the OLD FRANKLIN VICTORY BELL.” which has served Fairfield schools since their be- ginning. A wide expanse of concrete steps leads from the entrance to the track sur- rounding the athletic field. The dedication was held between the halves of the first annual homecoming foot- ball game at Fairfield High School.

The Trojans scored in the first half, but bobbled several other scoring opportunities during the second half. The Bulldogs scored their touchdown during a Trojan letdown late in the fourth quarter. The men of Troy completely outplayed the highly touted Bulldogs, but in seemed that “Old Lady Luck just wouldn't yield a Fairfield victory. WASHINGTON—OCTOBER 13. 1950-26-7 I he Washington Demons could not stop the super-charged Fairfield Trojans who downed them 26-7 at Washington. The Trojans held an upper hand in the ball game from the very beginning when they recovered an enemy fumble deep in Demon territory and capitalized on it. The Fairfield line manhandled the heftier Washington line during the entire game. TROJANS SNOW UNDER BULLDOG 47 48 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL ’51 £ td SeaAosi . . . RetuSMuna jOett unen Row I : F. Miller.

MUSCATINE—OCTOBER 27. 1950-20-7 The sturdy Trojans were not to be denied this victory over Muscatine, following their miserable outing at Mt. Pleasant. Size meant nothing to the snarling Fairfielders as they ran through, around, and over the Muskies. This game was highlighted by a hundred yard kickoff return by freshman Jim Dabner. Jlinetne+t F.

Coming back late in the fourth quarter the Trojans turned the tables and held a 32-27 lead with only a few minutes left in the game.

With a large turnout of Freshmen and Sophomores this year for lightweight foot- ball, Coach Don Brown and his assistant, Rex Morrison molded a team which produced the best lightweight record in many years. These boys won 4, lost 2 and tied 2, scoring 1 7 touchdowns and six extra points. Much credit is due to these boys who will make up the varsity team of the future. Fleet-footed Jerry Campbell was the lightweights’ leading scorer, however, all the lads scored several times on long runs. Jim King, center, was elected honorary captain for the year.

Dillon Lowell Director A favorite of Fairfield students is the marching band, whose perfect coordination in formations and marching tactics is display- ed at many fall events. This quality has been the basis for num- erous honors which have been awarded to the band. It adds zest to our many activities here at h airfield High School. A football game isn't complete without the performance of the band at the half. In addition to home game performances, the group attended the Cavalcade of Music held in Des Moines and the National Lion’s Club convention in Chicago. Plans are being made for the band to travel to Mason City next summer for a state marching band festival. Although seldom caught standing still, the marching band stopped long enough for the shutter to click. 51 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 53 R. Mclntire. M. Hamilton. S. Harrison. C. Harrison. P. Murphy. F.

Their nimble finger work amazes spectators as the twirlers strut proudly down the football field or basketball floor. These girls not only lead the band, but sell tickets, act as ushers, and assist in many ways for the good of the organization. Jlati This year the band has been proud of its Color Guard. They led the band onto the field at every football game and helped with various antics at halftime. Three of the color guard were en- tered in the Little Six Contest at Ottumwa this year in the flag swing- ing division. These girls were: Mary Lou Hoerner and Colleen Cro- mer, who received a division 11 rat- ing. and Vivian Kessel. a 111. This is the first time in several years that Fairfield has entered anyone in this field and these girls upheld Fairfield’s previous honors. The girls in the color guard are: Betty Keller. Mary Leu Hoerner, Colleen Cromer, and Mary Ann Drish. FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL •51 P it SeaA n flcuiauet . . . The 1950 Football Banquet was held November thirtieth in the Fairfield High School banquet hall. The football banquet is an annual affair sponsored by the Girls' Pep Club in honor of the varsity and lightweight football squads. The room was decor- ated in accordance with the theme, Trojan Touchdown. and footballs were appropri- ately in evidence around the hall. After the banquet Coach Robert Liddy awarded varsity football letters to the following: Warren Lawson. Wayne Horras. Bob Kranc. Jim Stewart, Dick Wilson, Frank McClurg, Jim Dabner, Marvin Stanley, Nick Martin, Ray Brokken, Jim Six, Terrel Hoage, Fred Miller, Bill Wickliff, John Smith, Bob Reed, Jerry Johnson, Larry Manary, Dick Smith and Bob Cummings. 51 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 55 7 4e flitf all The Trojan Ball! The fall season's most spectacular dance was held in the boys' gym, November II, with a theme of “Stairway to the Stars.” The Y-Teens. who sponsor the popular dance each year, made this one of their best Balls with the elaborate decorations and music by the Rythym Majors. The Court, chosen by the varsity football squad, consisted of Betty Cnle, Marcia Fry, Feme Headley, Joyce Lenhart, Jean McGiffin, Nancy O Neill, Rita Palm. Joan Phillips, Shirley Riggs, Sally Robinson, and Jayne Stewart. The identity of the queen was kept a closely guarded secret till the moment of the coronation. The Co-Captains, Wayne Horras and Bud Lawson, opened the ballot, walked the full length of the floor to the line of the Court, and singled out Jayne Stewart for the 1950 Trojan Queen. The shimmering blue and silver stars that hung from a blue and silver crepe paper drop ceiling made a lovely setting for the coronation. Jayne was completely enthralled at the honor, as would any Fairfield High School girl. The cere- mony was then concluded with the varsity squad members escorting the court.

The stadium still echoes, and the rafters of the gym still shake from the lusty yells resulting from the excellent lead- ership of the cheerleaders. The cheerleaders, clad in orange and black, introduced many new yells and also a new pep song with the help of the band. Cheerleader tryouts were held in the auditorium with the students casting ballots in their advisory groups. Six regular leaders and six alternates were elected. During both the basketball and football season, the cheer- leaders were behind our team all the way and gave us pep when things were looking tough. Credit goes to Mr. Leu and Miss Johnson for their time and effort in assisting the cheerleaders. This group showed loyalty and faithfulness in contributing their services to Fairfield High School.

VeAp.e.n.4. ♦ The vesper services, which are presented by the music department, are an important part of all seasons. This year the Christmas program was one of the fin- est, in that both the spirit of the holiday and the real meaning of Christmas were expressed by the blending of voices in song. The candlelight processional by the choir opened the impressive program which was narrated by Connie DeHaan and Jim Weber. The Christmas theme was carried out in the stage setting with a star as the focal point of interest.

Whenever anything is needed by the different music departments, the music auxiliary is always ready and willing to help. The women assist considerably with the financial side of any problem by having food and rummage sales, and serving banquets. The auxiliary is always glad to assist with transportation when out-of-town contests or festivals are attended by the music department. The organization's major project at the present time is acquiring enough money with which to purchase robes for the a'cappella choir. 62 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 51 Row I: V. Briggs. N. Sipe. C. Ramsay.

Davis Mulical 'laletit fyitidl A new musical organization this year is the a’cappella choir under the direction of Mrs. Ruby. Performing the works of all ages, from Palestrina to modern com- posers, this group has made numerous appearances. Choral numbers on the programs for this year included compositions by Handel, Orlando Di Lasso, and Mozart. For fun, the choir likes to sing music by Fred Waring and selections from light opera. This is a se- lect group of the most talented singers in school—for a'cappella singing is the most beautiful and the most difficult of choral work, since it is done almost entirely with out accompaniment and demands specialized train- ing. The a'cappella choir is composed of 70 voices, carefully selected and rehearsed by Mrs. Ruby. Gilbert and Sullivan's “H. M. S. Pinafore was the choir’s main project the first semester, and one which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. During the holiday season, the entire choir appeared in The Song of Christmas. This was given both for the Lions and Rotary Club as well as in the high school service. One of most difficult and powerful pieces of music studied by the choir this year was the Song of Easter,” a January publication of Fred Waring’s workshop. This is based MRS.

Self-governed, the choir officers are: Joyce Lenhart, president: Carol Stearns, vice president; and Franklin Pierson, secretary-treasurer. Accompanist for the group is Jeanie Pierson. Student soloists are given opportunities to appear with the choir, and a total of 10 performances were presented during the year. The culmination of the year’s work was the spring concert, held on April 22. The Little Six Festival, which was held in Mt. Pleasant, April 16, offered experience for the choir. Several money-making projects were carried on during the year for the purchase of new robes. Twenty-six students were selected for the program during National Music Week, which consisted of The Alto Rhapsody.” directed by Mrs. Ruby of the music depart- ment, Gounod's Gallia,” and the last two scenes of “Aida” by Verdi, directed by Mar- shall Barnes with soloists from the University at Iowa City. 63 ■ 64 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL •51 Row 1 : D.

Davidson The members of this lively organization are carefully trained as to their individual tone qualities. Madrigal is one of the most selective groups in the music department. In the 1 6th century the madrigals were the songs of the people, for they were generally sung by music lovers after the evening meal. People in homes would sing these pieces for enjoyment, much as we of today might gather around a piano or uke and give with a little harmony. The madrigal was the first music to be introduced into society, and reached its pinnacle of perfection at the time music and literature were at their peak in “merrie England. In Elizabeth’s time madrigals were every bit as popular as any hit of our day. They are musical settings of poems, sung by several voices to the part. Each person strives for perfection in both his own individual part and in the effect of the whole. Studying masterpieces of choral literature, the madrigal singers have also proven their abilities in all types of difficult music from Tchaikowsky's Nutcracker Suite to popular music such as “Rhapsody in Blue, a modern Gershwin composition arranged for mixed voices.

For several months a double quartet was maintained that collaborated with girls' sextet at Christmas time. The quartet’s two contest numbers were “Ezekeil Saw de Wheel”—a Negro spiritual, and ”Lo. How a Rose E’er Blooming.” a 16th century madrigal. For contest Franklin Pierson replaced Larry Manary as the second tenor. The quartet received a I rating at district music contest. J. McGiffin. B.

Careful tuning is essential in any group, but it reaches its highest point of necessity in the small group with one singer for each part. Striving for perfect performance, the quartet also concentrates on acquaintance with standard music literature. Good singing habits are stressed in this group, as well as constant attention to tone quality. '51 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 67 Kow I: S. 1 homas. M. Clark. K. Wood. K. Hinterm,.� e,r. G. Pari� . M.

At long last the band rehearses during school time, instead of in the early dawn! During its current season, the concert band of the instrumental music department boasted 77 members. This particular band comes into being at the end of the football season and plays through the rest of the school year. Mr. Lowell has been expanding and building this group, which makes a strong appeal to youth, with his capable instruc- tions and guidance. Under their director, the abilities of these musicians were evidenced in two sched- uled concerts. The first of the season featured Bill Emry. trumpet soloist, and the drum ensemble. Larry Cole was soloist at the second concert on March 18th. A bell lyre duet, appropriately titled “The Two Imps, was played by Marcia Fry and Virginia Heston. Carolyn Monson and Nancy Stewart combined to present “Concertina by Edgar for clarinets. •51 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 71 Row I : B. Lowell. N. Miller. J. Glolfelty. Rcw 2: G. Schmidt. C. Monson. J.

One of the very important functions of a band is to strive for good playing habits, such as good posture and correct holding of instruments. As the school owns a number of instruments, all students have equal opportunities to become members of the band. Concert band should be better than ever because of the fact that a gyade school band has been organized, composed of students from all four grade schools. This band serves as a training center for the more advanced high school concert band. Members of the band have made a fine showing at contest by bringing home I 7 division I ratings from district at Centerville. The Little Six festival was held in the Fairfield football stadium on May 15. The combined bands presented a public concert on the evening of that day.

An honorary group of the band? ? ? From the eerie sounds produced by the instruments of these fellows, it's hard for one to judge the musical capacities of this group. Without the clown band, no pep assembly would be complete, for its members vigorously play all kinds of music, both marches and popular. There has to be a group like this in every band, for it adds a finishing touch to every march and concert piece. Pleasant and soothing music is not produced by the drum ensemble, but one couldn t call it noise either. This group forms the basis for the percussion section of the band. A great deal of work is put into any selection that this group brings forth. The members of this ensemble are: H. Macy, L. Hanshaw, S. Phillips, and E. Ballou. The honor of a division I rating was awarded to the drum ensemble at the district contest at Centerville. These fellows really have a lot of fun playing together. They meet twice a week in the band room and practice hard to make perfect. For the past several years, Fairfield High School’s band has sported a very fine cornet section and this year is no ex- ception. This is an outstanding group, and we hope to see many more cornet trios representing our school in competition in the future. P. Davidson. D. Horton. B.

They work hard all year perfecting their pieces and ironing out every rough spot before contest in the spring. Then when this season rolls around, each and every one of them worry through it from contest to contest. Fairfield really has a lot of talent in this group anl we wish them luck through contests for many years to come. These are the students taking part in instrumental solo events at the district contest at Centerville, and receiving division one's: Linda Gamble, piccolo solo; Barbara Lowell, oboe solo; Bob Davis, cornet solo; Bill Emry, cornet solo; Phyllis Menke, marimba slo; Marcia Fry and Virginia Heston, bell lyre solo; Donald Speer, baritone horn solo; Harold Macy and Larry Hanshaw, snare drum solo. Of all the different instrumen- tal groups, this type requires the most concentration. The musi- cal development of this wood- wind trio is difficult, for the flute is combined with the clar- inets in this particular ensemble. Entering contest last year when they were just eighth graders, these three girls are working hard and have several years to make a top flight team. The mem- bers of the trio are: C. Monson. M. Langner, and L. Gamble. A chamber group is especially needed in a school such as ours which has a very rich offering of instrumental music. This year it is composed of two in- struments ; a flute and an oboe, played by Vaunceil Briggs and Barbara Lowell. Such small groups as this are encouraged by Mr. Lawell as desirable ex- tra-curricular activities. There are many values to chamber music, and these two girls have been developing musically as a result of this training. 74 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL •51 Qaii Yank Jim Weber Orderly Fred Sudermann Digger Roger Willson Kiwi Nick Martin Tommy Emor Ballou Blossom Dick Smith Margaret Marcia Fry Colonel .Franklin Pierson Lachlen Bill Smart Saitcuv 94. Zaw 9 t Jlte oUa4.Uf. atte ni The Hasty Heart,” a war story that brings together six wounded men of different nationalities, was considered by many to be one of the best plays ever presented by the Fairfield High School speech department. The leading role of Lachlen, a Scottish soldier who believed that sorrow is born in the hasty heart,” was played by Bill Smart. Pretty “Sister Margaret, Marcia Fry, and the other soldiers in the ward were urged by the “Colonel,” Franklin Pierson, to make “Lachlen’s last few weeks of life as pleasant as possible. “Lachie's bitter attitude was changed when his friends presented him with his first birthday present he had ever received, a kilt. When Sister Margaret accepted his proposal, “Lachie realized the greatest happiness he had ever known. His newly acquired faith in mankind was broken, however, when he learned of his condition and assumed that their friendliness was prompted by their pity for him. Finally, just before he was to board the transport for Scotland, he realized his mistake and begged to spend his few remaining days with his friends. Humor was added throughout the play by “Kiwi,” Nick Martin, whose legs were so long that his feet stuck out of the bed and were used as a bloodbank by the mosquitoes; Yank, Jim Weber, who calmed his quick temper by repeating the books of the Bible; Digger, Roger Willson, who was constantly peeking to try to find out what was worn under Lachie’s’ kilt: “Tommy,” Emor Ballou, who dreamed his stomach had grown so big that he had to carry it in front of him in a wheelbarrow; and Blossom.

This team placed third in the conference and beat Ottumwa on their own floor 52-45 in the district tournament. The team and fans alike were disappointed in the showing in the sub-state game with Muscatine in which the Trojans were defeated 40-41. The Trojans had a I 4-8 win-loss record, being out-scored only 20 points in all of the 8 losses. Nick Martin and Jim Kaska led the Trojans in scoring and Nick placed fifth in the conference scoring race. Jim Stewart and Nick Martin were elected honorary co-captains for the season by the squad.

His football team placed fourth in the rough “Little Six con- ference with four wins, three losses, and two ties. His basketball team placed third in the conference with an overall record of fourteen wins and eight losses. Mr. Liddy received his schooling at the Uni- versity of Iowa where he played three years of varsity football and was named captain anJ most valuable player in 1943. Many thanks go to Mr. Liddy for the fine teams that have rep- resented Fairfield this year. The Boys’ Letter Club recognized Mr Liddy’s leadership by pre- senting him with a coaching trophy soon after the football season ended. CO-CAPTAIN NICK MARTIN BLOOMFIELD—NOVEMBER 21. 1950-39-34 With the four returning lettermen leading the way. the Trojans scored a 39-34 victory on the local floor by defeating the Bloomfield Mustangs. Even though the score was close all the way. the team-play of the Trojans was outstanding. The timely baskets of Jim Stewart in the fourth quarter spelled defeat for the Mustangs and made a fine opening of the 1950-1951 basketball season for the Trojans. ’51 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 77 RETURNING SENIOR LETTERMEN WAYLAND—NOVEMBER 28. 1950-55-33 Roaring ahead rapidly after a dismal first quarter, the Fairfield Trojans literally blasted the Wayland Bombers out of the Fairfield gym by a 55-33 count. With Lee Kane and Nick Martin leading the way. the Trojans completely outscored their opponents during the last three periods, and all the Men of Troy got a chance to show their ability. MUSCATINE—DECEMBER I. 1950-60-46 Uncorking a basket brigade led by Nick Martin, the Trojans scored their first victory over Muscatine in a decade by a decisive 60-46 decision. This win sky- rocketed the Trojans as a contending power in the Little Six Conference. Martin fired in twenty-four points and was followed by Manary and Kaska with fourteen and twelve respectively. OTTUMWA—DECEMBER 8. 1950-28-35 The Trojans were defeated for the first time in the 1950-1951 campaign by the finesse of the Ottumwa Bulldogs on the Trojans' own court by a score of 35-28. The stalling tactics used by the Bulldogs were too much to overcome during the last half. The scoring was evenly divided, with every Fairfield man doing his share. MT. PLEASANT—DECEMBER 15. 1950-47-38 The Trojans blasted the Panthers from the gym with a blistering first quarter at- tack which they maintained throughout the game for a 47-38 victory. In winning their second conference game, the Trojans showed vast improvement in every field. Big Jim Kaska led the Trojans with twelve points. FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL '51 OSKALOOSA—DECEMBER 19. 1950- 35-37 Playing their best game thus far in the season the Trojans went down to defeat at the hands of the Oskaloosa Indians in an overtime thriller to the tune of 35-37. The Trojans would have won the game with ease had they been able to hit, however, it was one of those cold nights which every team has sometimes. Jim Kaska again led the scoring with I I points. FORT MADISON—DECEMBER 22. 1950-36-27 The Trojans toppled the Bloodhounds by a score of 36-27 in the F. H. S. gym for another conference win. It was a ragged ballgame on the local hardcourt with many erratic passes made by both teams. The scoring was evenly divided among the Fairfield five with all the Trojans seeing action. KEOKUK—JANUARY 5. 1951-42-47 A gallant clan of Trojans went down to defeat in the small gym at Keokuk by a 42-47 count. Nick Martin and Jim Kaska led the scoring with 13 and 1 1 points respectively. It was the sharpshooting of Bill Logan and Bob High of the Chiefs which spelled defeat for the local quintet. WASHINGTON—JANUARY 9. 1951-46-35 The Washington Demons pushed the Trojans to the first half mark, but th“ sharp- shooting and ball stealing of the Fairfield five was more than enough to obtain a ten point lead soon after the first half and never relinquished it. John Smith, who had re- placed the injured Larry Manary. played a nice floor game and led the scoring. BURLINGTON—JANUARY 12. 1951-62-35 The red hot Trojans bumped off Burlington for the fifth conference win by a score of 62-35. The Trojans were sparked to a start by Lee Kane and the Greyhounds never threatened to take the lead during the whole game. Kane and Kaska hit I 3 points apiece followed by Smith with 1 1 points to lead the scoring. •51 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL BLOOMFIELD—JANUARY 16. 1951-51-40 Coming from behind in the second half the Trojans won over the Mustangs in a non-conference contest. Fairfield, being the only team to defeat Bloomfield twice in the season, was led by Jim Kaska and Nick Martin with 23 and 13 points respectively. It was a close ballgame with Bloomfield maintaining the lead until the final quarter. MUSCATINE—JANUARY 19. 1951-50-36 The Trojans romped over the scrappy Muskies in the Fairfield gym by a score of 50-36. Sporting their best brand of ball the flashy five had little trouble defeating their opponents in this Little Six contest. This win cinched third place in the conference for the Trojans. OTTUMWA—JANUARY 23. 1951-43-44 Ottumwa one-pointed the Trojans before a capacity crowd in the Ottumwa gym by a score of 43-44. It was a very close and hard fought ball game with the lead changing hands numerous times. The Trojans fought back from an early Ottumwa lead with a stunning full court press to a 43-43 deadlock. With 15 seconds left, Harold Thompson stepped to the line and gave Ottumwa their margin of victory. MOUNT PLEASANT—JANUARY 26. 1951-57-52 Led by Lawrence Manary, the Trojans defeated the fiery Panthers by 4 score of 57-52. It was a close contest with the margin between the two teams never exceeding 8 points. Rich, of Mount Pleasant, almost pulled the Panthers into the lead in the fourth quarter with a blistering 21 points. However, a late Trojan surge put the game on ice. FORT MADISON—FEBRUARY 2. 1951-51-53 The Trojans lost to the Fort Madison Bloodhounds after a last minute comeback which failed. Fort Madison led during the game with about an 8 point margin between the two teams. However, the Trojans made a startling comeback with two minutes left and reduced the lead to 2 points when the final buzzer sounded. 80 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 51 WASHINGTON -FEBRUARY 6. 1951 62-34 Displaying one of their best games of the season, the Trojans completely stormed over the Washington Demons 62-34, Nick Martin and Jim Kaska took matters into their own hands by outscoring the entire Demon team by dumping in 37 points between them. KEOKUK FEBRUARY 9. 1951-43-44 Keokuk, the undefeated king of the Little Six” came the closest to having its conference record blemished at the hands of the Trojans. The game was tied at the end of regular playing time, and in the three minutes overtime period only the scoring cham- pion of the conference, long limbed Bill Logan, found the hoop long enough to unknot the score to the death of the fired up Trojans on a free throw. BURLINGTON—FEBRUARY 16. 1951-61-47 Jim Stewart, playing one of the best games of hie career, dumped in 18 points to lead the I rojans in an im| ortant conference game with the Grayhounds at Burlington. The Fairfield five showed more finesse and ability than in any ballgame thus far this year. At no time during the whole game was the outcome debatable as shown by the 61-47 victory. WILSON OF CEDAR RAPIDS—FEBRUARY 23. 1951-42-43 Hampered by the loss of two regulars, Nick Martin and John Smith, the Trojans were unable to defeat the Cedar Rapids club. The Trojans led during most of the ball- game. However, they were unable to overcome a fourth quarter rally by Wilson. CENTERVILLE—MARCH 2. 1951-60-44 Coach Liddy and company finished the regular playing season with flying colors by defeating the Centerville Big Reds with a score of 60-44. Although the Trojans were without the services of Jim Stewart, a regular starter, Jim Kaska more than made up for the loss by dumping in 31 points for an all time school record. '51 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 81 4 . cM- S. Ottumwa ! DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Fairfield 52 Ottumwa 45 A fired up band of never to be denied Trojans advanced to the sub-state tourney by defeating the favored Bulldogs on their home floor. The game was a team win with everyone of the orange clad boys in there to see that Fairfield had a ticket to the sub-state. The team was helped by the presence of many enthusiastic students and towns people who made themselves heard above the noise of the Ottumwa fans, and really helped the team by their ardent sup- port. SUB-STATE Fairfield 40 Muscatine 41 The Fairfield bid for state tournament honors came to a halt very quickly as a steamed up team of Muskies ousted the Trojans by a score of 41 to 40. Th; game was hotly contested throughout with the Muskies on the heavy side of the score-board when the final horn blew. 82 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL ’51 GSidcaunt eMa+toAA . . . Several Trojans received top honors whin the Little Six All Conference selections were made. The Trojans who made the first team were Co- Captains Stewart and Martin. Jim, who was con- sidered one of the hardest driving and best guards of the Conference, will be greatly missed when next year’s squad reports for drills. Nick placed fifth in the all-conference scoring race with 162 points and along with Stewart went on to receive Ail State Honorable Mention honors. Nick’s high scoring played an important part in many Trojan victories. JIM STEWART The All Conference Honorable Mention selec- tions for the Trojans went to tw’o deserving Juniors, John Smith and Jim Kaska. Jim set a new school scoring record for one game of 31 points and plac- ed ninth in the individual all-conference scoring race. John Smith was a top floor player through- out the season and could always be depended on when the cards were down. Both Smith and Kas- ka will return to pace the Trojans next year.

Al- though the record was none too impressive, the boys developed during the season and lost several games by a small margin of points. Several of the lightweights will be looked upon for major roles in varsity service next year. Don Cox. leading scorer for the team, has already seen varsity action, and will probably see much more next year.

It received its name from the Greek poet, Thespis, who is be- lieved to have founded the drama. To gain membership in this organization a person must earn ten points, each point representing ten hours of work. These points are earned by participating in plays, back stage crew work, and choral speaking. For each ad- ditional ten points earned a star is given until you become an Honor Thespian (four star). Much credit goes to the program chairman who provided us with interesting enter- tainment for our bi-monthly meetings. Some of our more interesting programs were: Mrs. Sayre’s talk on modern poetry, Mrs. Susman’s cutting from the play The Barretts of Wimpole Street,” and skits by various speech students. Formal initiation was held in the spring. At its conclusion the initiates provided entertainment with impromptu skits which were followed by a tea in the home economics room. Confetti, balloons, and serpentines, helped immensely to create the gay atmosphere for the Thespian Carnival which was held November 25. The marriage booth complete with altar, flower baskets, and robed attendant sponsored a bigamist contest, the winner being crowned at the floor show. The spooky fun house provided thrills and chills for all. Delicious homemade refreshments that had been donated by numerous willing mothers were available all evening from the kitchen. The floor show in the auditorium attracted both young and old. We’ll never forget that hula dance by some of the sophomore boys, and the bubble dance by the sophomore girls. Crooner. Ted Wood wowed the audience with a novelty number. More comedy was added by a “Woody Woodpecker skit. And of course everyone had fun outbidding his friends at the cake auction. The performance was concluded with the crowning of the king and queen, Arvene Morrow and Marcia Fry. It was a profitable night financially for the speech department and a good time was had by all.

Slaves jbetuUe One group in our school which constantly argues but never agrees or reaches a decision is the debate team. This year the question was. resolved: “That the Amer- ican People should reject the Welfare State. In the newly formed debate class we spent much time in discussion and practice debate before the teams were finally chosen. The debators were Myrna Ain, Eleanor Staves, Jayne Stewart, Jim Weber, Martha Selz, and Mary Lou Hoerner. This year we were invited to several practice meets which gave us good experience for regular contests. Fairfield started the ball rolling with a three school invitational in December at which we won three out of four debates. January sixth we were in- vited to Burlington to compete with twenty of the best teams from Iowa. Illinois, and Missouri. Both our “A and “B squads debated four rounds. Out of sixteen debates we won ten. On January eighteenth, we attended Ottumwa’s invitatonal and won all of our debates. One of the experiences that will remain in the memory of all debators is that hilarious Coe College tournament. Wading in snow up to our knees must have given us a lucky charm, for we came through with flying colors. Fairfield tied for first place in wins and losses, but missed taking the traveling trophy by two-tenths of a point on personal ratings. Entering the Forensic League District contest at Muscatine March ninth and tenth, we won twelve out of sixteen debates which entitled us to go to State contest at Iowa City. At Iowa City we won seven out of twelve debates which gave us fifth place. Debating, to those who know nothing about it, might appear to be a very dull and uninteresting way to spend one's time, but those who participate in it know that almost anything can happen. Some of the incidents we shall never forget were those embarrass- ing moments with only one boy in the class. We wonder if Mary Lou has ever learned to count fingers correctly when using gestures in a debate. Jayne’s “Chimpanzee story explaining the result of the Welfare State always brought a good laugh, and Eleanor’s artistic diagrams certainly made any debate more interesting. Jim's unanswerable argu- ment and impressive brief case (containing four cards) were continual topics of con- versation. All in all, 1951 proved to be one of the most successful years for the Fairfield High School debate team. As a result, they have been invited to represent Iowa at the National Speech Contest at Los Angeles, California this June. 92 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL '51 tyJete Ojijj to Content . . . Rtw I: T.

Fairfield High School should certainly be proud of the fine showing their com- petitive speech students made this year. 1 hey were entered in five invitational meets as well as the Forensic League and Speech Association contest. Top honors were won by the Fairfield debate team in the Coe College tournament February 9-10, when it tied for first place with Davenport but missed the traveling trophy by two-tenths of a point on individual ratings. Fairfield returned with four superiors in the following divisions: discussion, Jayne Stewart; radio speaking, Jim Weber; poetry, Jean McGiffin and Bill Smart. In Speech Association Preliminary at Keosauqua February 14, stven entries re- ceived byes and four out of seven of those competing received superiors. These were Martha Monger, humorous dcclam: Jayne Stewart, dramatic declam; Jim Weber, radio; and the one-act play “Why I Am a Bachelor.” The cast included Frank Pierson, Bill Smart, Marcia Fry, Martha .Monger, Doris Alierdice, and Martha Bowne. On March 7, eight of Fairfield's nine entries received superiors at the pre-district contest at Mt. Pleasant. We entertained the district contest on March 30-31 at which eight entries won division I ratings entitling them to compete in the state finals at Oskaloosa. These dis- trict winners were: the debate team; Jayne Stewart, dramatic declam; Martha Monger, humorous declam; Bill Smart, original oratory; Jean McGiffin and Eleanor Staves, interpretative reading; Jim Weber, radio speaking; and the one-act play. The Forensic League district contest at Muscatine March 9-10 entitled many of our students to enter the state finals. Besides the winning debate team. Bill Smart won in original oratory and interpretative reading; and Jim Weber received a four-year scholarship to the University of Iowa for being one of the state’s six top debators. Jayne Stewart and Bill Smart were awarded superior ratings for their participation in a one- act play, “Lima Bean.” Dick Smith was the other cast member of this play which re- ceived an excellent rating in the Iowa Play Festival. Jayne Stewart and Jim Weber both received exccllents in radio speaking, and Bill Smart received an excellent in inter- pretative reading. At the Drake Play Festival the play again received an excellent rating, and Jayne Stewart received the “Best Actress” award of all those participating in the Festival.

Besides performing between the acts of plays and for various church groups, the choir also gave a complete program on April 23. Some numbers were given by the whole sixty voice choir while others were short skits enacted by smaller groups. The highlight of the program was the rhythmical, yet weird selection, “The Congo, ' complete with native dancers and beating drums. It's not all work and no fun for this group, as we found out at their hilarious bunk party in the fall. The wonderful food, wild stories, and acrobatics in the front yard will never be forgotten. A weekend trip to Keosauqua is planned for the first part of June. 93 94 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL •51 7 e 2.uill . . . Row I : R. Willson, M. Ain. S. Metier. W. Lawton Row 2: J. Stewart. D. Babcock. J.

The Quill Staff of Fairfield High School was chosen by a faculty committee from 25 applicants and the staff in turn chose their editor, assistant editor, and business manager. I he editor s main duty is. in itself, self-explanatory—organization and management. The financing of the Quill is handled by our business manager who is also in charge of advertising and the sales campaign. As your mind dwells upcn the diversified items that all go together to produce an annual, you may wonder just who is responsible for each department . This year Roger Willson was head of the editoiial department and Jim Stewart was the Quill photographer. Athletics and statistics were com- piled by Warren l awson. Shirley Messer, and Jean McGiffin were in charge of organization write- ups and music respectively. 1 he set up of class pictures and the index were very efficiently handled by Fred Miller. The art masterpieces were created by Dick Smith, all final copy was typed by Doris Babcock, and Myrna Ain capably look charge of the dramatic department. I. as the Editor, would like to take this small bit of space to sincerely extend my fullest appreciation to all the above members of this year’s staff for the fine work they have all put into this annual. — 7he dUtoJi •51 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 95 7 Petvi iatclieA,!

This is the penscratcker’s cue to start slaving over write-ups, typewriters, and paste jars. They don’t do all the dirty work as the rumor says, but they are life savers for the Quill Staff. Who else would work as hard and long as they? From applications filed, the Quill Staff chose eight Juniors to be assistants, or in more dignified language, penscratchers. These helpers were busy every minute, doing the bidding of the senior members of the Staff. Although being a penscratcher doesn't insure a position on next year's Quill Staff, it gives experience to some of next year’s probable Quill Staff members. 96 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL •51 Row I : W.

The purpose of the Torch Club is to promote the four cardinal principles: scholarship, leadership, character and service. Only students in the upper twenty-five per cent of the class scholastically, are eligible. Five per cent of the eligible students are elected the last semester of their Junior year. Ten per cent of the remaining students who are eligible are elected into 1 orch Club during their Senior year of high school, five per cent each semester. Each spring a banquet is planned by the active members to which all graduate members are invited. Last year a memorial banquet was held for the deceased members of the Torch Club. May II, 1950, four students were elected into the Torch Club: Betty Crile, Wayne Horras, Warren Lawson, and Nick Martin. On December 22, 1950, five more students. Park Davidson, Bob Krane, Jean McGiffin. Freddie Miller, and Bill Smart were initiated. Betty Jo Kelly was accepted as a transfer member from Pueblo, Colorado. At the close of the school year, the remaining senior quota will be completed and several juniors will be initiated to form the nucleus of next years’ organization. •51 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 97 hjoun.

Did you ever wonder what they did in there? You should know! That is the student government of Fairfield High School. One representative from each advisory group, plus one junior and one senior elected from the entire class make up the student council which decides many important issues for the entire student body. This year the student council had charge of the class officer elections which w:re carried out in a truly democratic manner with signatures required for nominations and voting at a required polling place. It also conducted th? cheerleader election. Probably the most worthy projects accomplished this year were th? promotion of better sportsmanship at games and proper conduct at school activities. An increase of fifty cents on the price of the Quill was approved by the council. It also approved the buying of new runners for the auditorium to be purchased from the profits of the candy case. Another very important duty was the selection of movies and pay assemblies for the following year. Socal activities have a prominate place in the lives of high school students, so the council sponsored a Christmas party after the Fort Madison football game just before the Christmas holidays. It was a wonderful way to end the 1950 school year. The council also assisted the Junior Chamber of Commerce with their Halloween Party for the entire high school. Well, now you know the reason room two is such a popular place on Monday, and this room should feel proud to be the meeting place of such an active group. 98 F A I R F i £ L D HIGH SCHOOL •51 JleanstinCf to 2)0, uboi+Uf to Jleam, Scaled: B.

Meetings are held every month with various speakers, such as a conservation officer, a highway patrolman, and an insurance salesman. During the Christmas season Rev. A. Wayne Carr gave an inspiring talk on the Christmas spirit. Movies on soil conservation and wild life were both entertaining and educational. Four degrees are awarded for specific levels of attainment with respect to farming, earnings, investments, leadership, etc. These degrees are: “Green Hand, “Chapter Farmer, State b armer.” and “American Farmer.” In the local chapter eighteen boys are “Green Hands, thirty-two Chapter Farmers, and three Iowa Farmers. Harold Atwood and Kenny Paul have just been granted the “Iowa Farmer” degree. L. Huff. E. Horras, M. Hanna, V. Fleagle Germinating Seed. Each member is required to have three projects every year.

Richard Louth and Raymond Burns are caring for the two purebred gilts pur- chased by the chapter this year for the purpose of getting better breeding stock into the community.

The Fairfield Chapter was host to 125 boys representing seventeen chapters at the Southeastern District Contest, held here March 26. The Par- liamentary Procedure Team: LeRoy Craff, Don Jewel, Gei$ld Mann, Jim Taylor, and Dick Tucker, won a silver award.

A membership of over 100 boys has made it one of the largest and one of the most active organizations in school. Many interesting speakers were guests of the Hi-Y at various meetings during the year. Mr. James Hinkle, local attorney, related his experiences at West Point. Sports- manship was the topic of a talk by Coach O. B. Nelson of Parsons College. Mrs. Marjorie Miller Nordstrom, vocal music instructor at Parsons College, and Mr. A. W. Salisbury, told of their trips to Europe and New York respectively at two joint meetings with the Y-Teens. Mr. Bernard Merriam, director of the local employment office, gave a talk on how to secure profitable employment. The Hi-Y cabinet is planning to follow this with a series of sessions on occupational guidance. At Christmas time the Hi-Y and the Y-Teens together gave over $117 to the Community Chest Christmas Fund to be used in filling food baskets for needy families in the community. The impressive worship services at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter are spon- sored by the Hi-Y and Y-Teens. To raise money, dances were held after the Keokuk basketball game and at the end of the first semester. This year the Hi-Y started a newspaper, In the Spotlight, with the hope that someday it would become a school newspaper. Larry Manary was editor, and Lee Kane was assistant editor. The Hi-Y was deeply saddened by the death of their sponsor. Pearl DeKalb, on February 16, 1951. The Hi-Y cabinet members served as pallbearers at Mr. DeKalb’s funeral. Continuing the semester under the leadership of Mr. Salisbury, the Hi-Y com- pleted another successful year. '51 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 101 Scaled: B. Lcwell. J. McGiffin, C. Hendricks. C. Harrison.

Membership, which is open to all girls in high school, this year totaled 192. The purpose of the Y-Teens is to provide a wholesome and constructive program for the girls who are members. Several worthwhile projects were accomplished this year. Chocolate bars were sent as Christmas gifts to a Hostel in England, and in con- junction with the Hi-Y $117 was collected from students and given to the Community Chest Christmas Fund to be used in filling food baskets for the needy of the community. All new girls in school were helped over the first rocky days by their upper class Big Sisters.” Friendships formed through these big-little sister associations often last throughout high school days. Many interesting programs were given at various meetings throughout the year. A play, “Ins and Outs,” was given to show how everyone should be included in high school life and not be shunned because they are odd” or “queer. Miss Moyers gave a very interesting talk about being a good conversationalist and Mr. Liddy explained the game of football. “Choosing the Best Things in Life” was the theme of an interesting talk given by Mr. Salisbury. Mrs. Marjorie Miller Nordstrom's talk on Music in Europe” was a hit with everyone. Then, of course, the meeting when we played volleyball can’t be forgotten. The Y-Teens and the Hi-Y together put on the assembly worship programs at Thanksgiving. Christmas, and Easter. The eagerly awaited annual Trojan Ball, one of the more important dances of the year, was sonsored by the Y-Teens in November. 102 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL •51 ? a Q. Kow I: LX Horton, W. Horra� . F.

This is a room where they may spend their leisure time playing ping pong, listening to records, or just shooting the bull. To become a member of the Letter Club, a boy must win a major letter in ath- letics. The club is governed by a very “strict Rules Committee, headed by Wayne Davis. This committe makes the rules and regulations concerning attendance at meetings, keeping the room neat, etc. The fellows sold pop in the lobby at the basketball games last winter, and sponsored two dances after the games. Part of the profits was used to buy new furniture for the Letter Club room. So life in the room would not become dull (if that could be possible) a ping pong tournament was organized. They also helped the Student Council sponsor a better sportsmanship campaign. This year a scrap book was started which they hope will be continued year after year con- taining the important last-of- the- season write-ups and sport pic- tures of the teams. Two initiation parties were held during the year for boys winning letters in football, bas- ketball. golf, and track. '51 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL P p, Club- Glecitel Scltaal SfuAit Row I: J.

Five are selected to be permanent members their junior and senior years from these ten girls. Girls are elected to serve in the club on the basis of scholarship, dependability, character, initiative, cheerfulness, and school spirit. The Pep Club girls keep busy throughout the year selling pop corn, hot dogs, candy bars, and ice cream at all the football and basketball games. The year the Pep Club adopted a new constitution. It states the main purpose of the organization are to assist in school activities, sponsor football and basketball banquets, promote school spirit, and be of general service to the school. The annual football banquet this year had an appropriate football theme. In April the basketball banquet had as its theme “Treasure Island.” The Pep Club girls plan every detail of these ban- quets including the decorations, menu, and invitations. The Pep Club girls hold their meetings and spend their leisure time in room 205, otherwise known as the “Owl's Nest.

The purpose of this organization is to learn more about the functions of the library and to help with the operation of it. Meetings are held every other Wednesday in the library after school. One meeting a month is a program with games, book reports, or lessons in library skills and techniques. The other meeting is devoted to a workshop where we put away books, straighten maga- zines, decorate the bulletin boards, alphabetize cards, and get new books ready for circulation. Applications for membership are filed in the fall with sophomores, juniors, and seniors being eligible for membership. Eighteen new members were welcomed into the club this year. A highlight of the year was the Book Week Tea in November to which the high school faculty, junior high faculty, and the four principals from the grade schools were invited. A Christmas party and gift exchange was enjoyed in December. The Library Club was also responsible for the the decorated Christmas tree in the library. Another highlight was the picnic at the end of the year honoring senior members of the organization. Much credit goes to our sponsor.

H. A., has completed another successful year. The Chapter was divided into five class organizations which elected officers, held meetings, and carried out many worth- while projects. A meeting of all one hundred members was also scheduled for once a month. The planned programs of the meetings were varied and interesting. Mrs. Hayes from the Hobby Shop lead a discussion on hobbies, and Miss Borgman gave the girls many new and novel ideas for wrapping gifts. A panel discussion of The Importance of the Home in the Lives of People’’ was the theme of another meeting. During the Christmas season one class took homemade cookies to under-privileged school children in the community, and another group collected clothing which they gave to their local adopted Christmas family. The F. H. A. was responsible for the gingerbread house and cookie Christmas tree which added holiday spirit to the halls of F. H. S. when they were displayed. These were later given to welfare. A Freshman class gave a skit for the District Hi-Y Conference which was held in Fairfield in the fall. Highlights of the Chapter programs were, of course, the parties. After tramping through snow to the hospital to sing carols to the patients, hot chili and home-made ice cream climaxed the evening of the Christmas party. On March 29. the annual birthday banquet was held at Hotel Turner. Homemakers are supposed to be able to cook, and the F. H. A. Chapter is no exception. On February 26 the girls prepared and served the F. F. A. Parent-Son banquet. To the eight girls who prepared the lunch for the F. F. A. District Meeting. March 26, baked beans will never taste quite so good again. Beans were baked for one-hundred and fifty, but only eighty-five were served so quite a few were left over. However, when the last dish had been put away, and the kitchen swept, the girls agreed it had been fun as well as work. 106 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL '51 4 . cJt. S. Zaodtl Qi iMi Athletici . . .

The first day of the big blizzard, March 10. 1951, found a bus-load of girls bound for Iowa City where they took part in a play day. This gave the girls a chance to make many new friends while playing basketball, volley ball, eating lunch together, and generally having a good time. As a money making project the girls sold orange and black basketball pins. The annual Spinster’s Spree on April I 3, sponsored by the G. A.

Those fascinating days ... in the general science rccm . . . getting shocks from machines . . . listening to Miss Calvert give us the conjugations . . . amo - amas - amat - and all of us fellows will remember the good solid guidance that ’’Park’’ was will- ing to give us ... It took us a while to find cur rooms at first and we even used to hurry in order net to be late . . . my. but that was a leng lime ago. wasn’t it ? ? ? We were finally persuaded to lea:n the high school song and gave an audition before the s.udent body . . . We soon got into the swing of things though, and made curselves knewn as the hustling class ... in more ways than one . . . our girls got around amazingly well for freshmen . . . remember those little green slips they used to give us when we were late . . . you know, we had a lot of fun when we were freshmen. . . Well, a year does a lot of good. 1 suppose ... at least we had learned how to sleep in class and to come into class late with exceptionally convincing excuses . . . But it wasn’t all like that, for we could do other things too . . . for one thing, our athletic teams showed promise of breaking a few records before they left, and rarely did we see our lightweight teams lose . . . and in the classroom . . . w«e learned how to cut up worms . . . might want to go fishin’ some day . . . under the tutelage of Rex Morrison . . . and that Roman banquet we had ... it took a long time to prepare, but it was worth ail the time out of class . . . and shall we say we were exposed to geometry under an ace marksman himself. John A. Hoerner . . . and a lot of our class joined up with the highly successful thespian gang . . . You know, our sophomore year was a lot more fun than was our freshman year . . . At last, now we were upper-classmen ... we had distinction and the good times you have during the year . . . that was the year of United States History and the ’’Speedballs’’ . . . We put on Junior Night to a sell-out crowd of our parents . . . who didn’t quite fill the auditorium . . . but that wasn't all the trouble . . . There were a lot of blank looks coming out of the algebra room . . . just ask some of the fellows . . . and there were a lot of chemistry experiments that weren't in the book . . . The ’’Speedballs were edging out seniors for positions on the ahtletic squads and getting a lot of experience and praise at the same time . . . We all lost a real friend in January when Mr. Saur. principal for thirty years, passed away ... It was a lot of fun working on the prom . . . paint- ing those murals of odd-shaped fish . . . the crepe paper hanging out of class . . . the strange noises on the roof at the banquet . . . and a day we’ll all remember . . . the day the pool-hall closed . . . our junior year was full of fun and one we’ll always remember . . . Look-out ! ! ! we’re seniors now . . . now we could sleep . . . er. sit . . . in the middle of the auditorium and be the first to be called to the office for attendance difficulties . . . We came back to high school for the last time with a new principal and coach, and both deserve our praise . . . Mr. A. W. Salisbury for picking up loose ends so well and becoming our friend . . . and our coach. Bob Liddy. for putting some pep in our school and turning out teams that were fighting ones which we could all be proud of . . . there were a lot of other changes, too ... we were sent to advisory groups ... I don’t know what you did in yours but we had a nice canasta game in ours . . . and were given four report cards ... I had a hard encugh time trying to get my old man to sign ONE. Those floorshows after the games got to be pretty good . . . remember Rag Mop, lea for Two, and Santa Claus . . . But we had classes too . . . remember Emily Dickinson . . . are you nobody too? . . . Miss Peterson’s French accent and Magrooooooder . . .and those simple physics experiments with Mr. Coots’ encouragement . . . We really hated that March snow-storm that kept us out of school . . . We waved anchors aweigh to John Jones after a belated farewell which some of us fellows will remember . . . And it was with a little regret that we traded our senior pictures and namecards realizing that our high school days were nearly over ... as we reminisce over our four years together we could find hundreds of good times we had doing ail those things that are high school . . . And we by no means forget our teachers . . . from shop to English . . . from history to physics ... all of whom were inter- ested in each one of us and never failed to give us help when needed . . . high school is a part of our life that we have just passed through . . . and we hope that each member of our class will look on our four years of high school, not as a dull, empty, period of their life, but rather as a bright, gleaming period, brimming full of fond memories of high school . . . •51 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL I jdo kitMf, tf-OSlUMj ld . . . A year can make a lot of difference . . . last year we were g!ad to graduate from high school . . . new, I don't know . . . college is certainly not like high school . . . for that matter neither is work- ing ... A university may he a lot bigger and more extensive than high school, but it ce.tainly misses the life that is high school . . . Our class has certainly spread cut in a year . . . seme are at Iowa . . . seme are out at Parsons . . . some are cn the farm . . . and some are just working ... 1 hear Jim Stewart is mak.ng out very well up at Iowa . .

Speed Lawson got himself kicked out of college football for having three Cadillacs and drawing a higher salary than the coach . . . If you remember, it was our senior high school year that the annual homecoming was inaugurated . . . ten years have passed since that initial homecoming and now we’re all back together once more . . . Saw Corporal Frank Pierson, who locks very dashing in his army uniform . . . he's been in for seven years . . . has been stationed on the Isle of Bali’ all this time and likes it so well that he’s signed up for life ... it seems he likes the coconuts or something ... it must be something . . . Jean McGiffin has been a great success in music . . . she’s the current number one blues' singer on the hit parade . . . William I.

Fred Sudermann has a job he’s always wanted . . . that of repairing timepieces ... his last job was cleaning the face of Big Ben in London . . . Jayne Stewart is leading a spirited drive for a bigger, better, more efficient school system in Fairfield . . . Marvin Stanley has been named head of the Physics department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . . . sounds hard to believe, doesn t it Mr. Coots . . . Harold Macy is now the leading producer in Hollywood and Gene Schmidt has superceded Artie Shaw as the nation's number one clarinetist . . . Bob Krane is currently working for Chevrolet . . . he’s testing car tops by rolling them . . . now he gets paid for it . . . Lee Kane is s ill with Western Union and he’s making enough money to buy gas for his new motor bike . . . Dr. H. N. Martin M. D. has finally got a job. he’s just been named head of inspection of the sewage system ... I always knew that kid would make good . . . Thinking seriously for a moment, we sincerely hope that each one of our class has the best of luck in life, and that each one realizes his fondest dreams . . . And if we all apply ourselves to the school that is life, and each one. in his own right becomes a success, we may all be proud to be a member of the graduating class of 1951. i FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL •51 110 n.ajan JlaAsUe i6, Row I : D.

Coach Ray Schafer s fall track squad again cap- tured honors at the annual state track meet. The Trojans, who were entered in the grueling mile event, held October 21 in Iowa City, were Larry Manary. Wayne Davis, Lee Kane, and Dean Schafer. They brought home second place in the Class A division. Manary finished third. Kane fourth, and Davis eleventh for a team total of eighteen points. Des Momes Tech nosed out the Trojans with a fifteen point total for first place and top honors. This was the last year the three senior lettermen, Manary, Davis, and Kane, would participate. Dean Schafer shows much promise in this field and we hope that he and others will uphold the Trojans’ school colors in the future. Sp.'iUuf 'I'uxcJz The Trojan thinclads, under the direction of Coach Ray Schafer placed fifth in the Little Six Indoor track meet at Iowa City. Fairfield was nosed out of fourth by only four points and out of third only three additional points. The Trojans collected a total of thirty-five points in the entire meet. Those participating in the meet were: L. Kane. L. Manary, who placed first and second in the mile run; W. Horras, h. McClurg, F. Six, J. Hoage, W. Davis, J. Bradley. F. Miller, R. Goehring, T.

Jim Stewart. Denny Russell, and Larry Manary are also expected to see action this year. The team consists of five mem- bers with the scoring based on medal play. The best four scores out of five are counted for the team total. With but a day of practice under their belts, the Trojan Golfers took a sound de- feat at the hands of a potent Ottumwa five. As the Quill goes to press, the Ottumwa meet is the only one that has been played. Row I : Coach John Hoerner, J. Jones. D. Russell, G. Schmidt. R. Willson. N. Martin. J. Weber. B. Krane. Row 2: B.
