How many times do you suppose you walked through those doors to class when you were a freshman, a sophomore or a junior? It's hard to tell, isn't it? But I imagine you can never forget the day you were f1na11y a senior, then came graduation and you walk- ed through those classroom doors for the last time as a student. Remember-remember?

Mr. Dillon Lowell I 0 Sound the trumpets! ! ! This would definitely be an appropriate salute for the genial Mr. Dillon Lowell, Fairfield High School's band director extraordinary. Without fail, year after year, Mr. Lowell has turned out top flight marching bands -bands that have brought honor and rec- ognition to FHS through their consist- ently splendid performances at contests. Last summer the superiority of the March- ing Band was again proven, when at the International Lions Club Convention, it was judged as second best in competition with bands from all of the 48 states. What qualities must a band leader have to weld individuals into an organization with all the precision and finesse of a su- perb marching band? Whether it's friend- liness, a sense of humor, or just plain good-naturedness, Mr. Lowell has all of these along with the ability to inspire those with whom he works. So, sound the trumpets in salute to this jovial man with the baton who has brought honor and recognition to Fairfield High and smiles, laughter, and happiness to its students. Directors of our Education SEATED: Tom Nollerg R. C. Normang Stewart Gaumer, president, Shan Camp- bellg Robert Austin. STANDING: William Davidson, secretary, Glenn Sherman, treasurer, W. G. Pence, superintendent. Supervising Fairiield's educational sys- tem is, in itself, no small task. Add to this the job of directing the construction of the new junior high and the result is plenty of hard work. The live men who are on the school board, after holding many extra meetings this year, know how true this statement is. Here is a group of men who think enough of their town to give valuable time to help in a highly important job-the edu- cation of Fairf1eld's youth. They are the men who have Worked so diligently With Mr. Pence to solve the problems, large . and small, that arise in the administra- tion of any educa- u ,V tional system. The beautiful new jun- ior high is concrete proof of their abil- ity. So, here is a salute to the men behind Fairf1eld's educational scene, the school board. Two years ago when it became evident that Fairf1eld's facilities for elementary education were becoming inadequate the citizens of Fairfield approved a S600,000 bond issue for the expansion of these fa- cilities. lt was decided that a combina- tion grade and junior high building would best solve the problem. By last Christmas this ultra-modern building was completed and ready for use by the grades. Beauti- ful both inside and out with pleasingly decorated, well-lighted rooms, the new junior high will be an asset to the com- munity for many years to come. ur dministration Mr. Pence Retires This is the 29th and last time my name will appear on this corresponding page of the QUILL. It has been a wonderful privilege and honor. The fact that so many of the approximately 3500 high school graduates during this time have become so important a part of this community and so many others are taking important positions throughout the nation is a great satisfaction. The Class of 1956 gives every promise of living up to the ideals and the effective contributions that have characterized the FHS alumni. I wish for every member of the class a life of the great- est possible effective service and happiness. The student body with its high standards al- ways will be the real Fairfield High School. This fine community has expressed its confidence in its young people by supplying willingly good buildings, equipment and a loyal superior faculty. Good luck to every student: it will come to W- G- Pence those who are prepared when opportunity knocks. -71' Mr. Kirlin Advances Mr. Kirlin came to Fairfield High School as prin- cipal three and one-half years ago. Since then he has continually worked in this all-important post of supervising our school. An hour spent in the prin- cipal's office would soon convince you that Mr. Kirlin has a big job, throughout the school day he meets and solves all types of problems both big and small. In the three and one-half years he has been here Mr. Kirlin has done a Wonderful job. Just how good his administration has been is shown by the fact he was chosen to fill the post Superintendent Pence is vacating. So congratulations Mr. Kirlin, and lots of luck in your new position.

American Problems focal point for seniors The Last Year S a Busy ne Hall monitor, Lel, does his job Seniors give thanks Candy Counter Cuties Punching in at meal time Behind the scenes at the Soc Hop Al'l0thel' green admit? 35 Hmm-not bad!! This isn't always the reac- tion a senior in General Homemaking gets af- ter tasting samples of her cooking, but exper- ience is a good teacher? From pin-pricked fingers to style show-this covers a space of time that the girls spent both at home and in class making clothing which will add to their spring wardrobe, as well as learning the basic steps of sewing. The girls not only view home- making from the cooking and sewing angle, but they also study courtship and marriage, how to make a home more attractive, personal bud- geting and family finance, child care, and arts and crafts, all of which will be useful in estab- lishing homes of their own some day. 36 orking for You probably didn't know it, but the angle from the window in the back of Mr. Hoerner's room be- tween the nearest two light poles at the edge of the football field is 56 degrees and 18 minutes. Here we are in Trigonometry where such terms as antilog, cosecant, logarithmetric functions, and am- biguous cases float around the room. These trig terms are applied to the relation of sides and angles of triangles which are used in practical things like surveying. In this class such problems as finding the length of a pond, the height of a cliff, and the air distance be- tween two towns are solved. These seniors didn't get just sitting in on this sion observing children ing class. In addition room discussions, such ing to talks by a doctor, ister about the various demoted, they are kindergarten ses- for Family Liv- to regular class- things as listen- lawyer, and min- ways their fields touch family life, make the course even more interesting. This is a one semester course where problems of growing up, getting married, establishing a home, and raising a family are taken up and the sen- iors come out better prepared for carry- ing the responsibilities of adults. the Future Surely premarital interdigitation will be in a dictionary this big! Though increasing vocabulary is an important part of senior Eng- lish, the students in this course also learn a greater appreciation of literature, both poetry and prose, improve their use of gram- mar in speaking and writing, and have projects such as learning the technicalities of writing a term paper, writing book reports and reading and reporting on short stories. Even though this course is an elective, it is a popular choice because seniors realize that Eng- lish is a subject which is of value to everyone, no matter what their plans are after graduation. This may look like a still--but it isn't. Set- ing up a maze of equipment consisting of calorimeter, steam boiler, delivery tube, steam trap, bunsen burner, and platform bal- ance is an accomplishment in itself, let alone finding the heat of vaporization which is the object of this experiment. Verifying the various facts, laws, and formulas given in a textbook through laboratory work makes Physics an interesting subject. This course deals with the common things around us, dividing them into groups labeled mechanics, heat, electricity, sound, light and modern physics. If a boy wants to Work with his hands and does- n't mind getting them dirty, he is a natural for Vocational Machine Shop. The shop is well equipped with modern tools of the type used in industry. Students are instructed in their use but they are also made aware of the life expectancy of the worker who doesn't observe safety rules. They get the feel of the machines and practical training in the reading of blue- prints by making useful projects to be used at home and on the farm. Their cars are kept in good condition through the automotive train- ing which is a regular part of the vocational program. Graduates have skills and knowledge of basic machine shop practices which is a reg- ular part of the vocational program. 37 Juniors Journey Forward R. Menke, L. Swanson, K. Scarborough, J.

Stimulation of thinking power and capability of reasoning out a problem are demonstrated by these two students who are trying to prove their theorem to other members of the class. Whoops! There goes another finger! Now how am I going to eat lunch? Those planes are really rough on hands. I should have listened to Mr. Eddings. All in all, very useful pro- jects, some as large as desks, beds, or chests of drawers, are put forth. Woodworking stu- dents have some valuable furniture to show for their efforts during the course. l Bang! Bang! Off we go to another battle fof minds, that isj. Never mind the sound f effects, our troubles are finding out who shot whom, where they shot him, and when it happened. Then there are our T presidents-oh, we've had so many and ' they all served at a different time! Study- ing our country from its very beginning -our government, culture, development, and foreign relations-gives us clear un- derstanding of our United States. 5 42 B Doing Teacher's helpers doing their duty-trying to help other students whenever possible. Appre- ciation of American rights and liberties, also the cultivation of a life-long interest in read- ing for enjoyment, are gained by nearly all American literature students. Essays written on America, Beacon of Hope gave evidence of what each student actually knew about America. - ' Backing out of the parking space, drivers, training students know they are off on another trip around Fairfield. These students have learned road courtesy and the rules and regu- lations of driving in class work, and are now off to gain actual driving experience in the training car. Their Final test of the course is to drive with a highway patrolman to receive their regular drivers' licenses. Underclassmen notice a peculiar odor not unlike rotten eggs which fills the halls on certain days. As juniors, they enter the door of the chemistry department and sud- denly meet a new world of chemicals, bur- ners, test tubes, and explosions, and dis- cover that the mysterious smell is really hydrogen sulfide. 43 Juniors Mix Worli With Fun Christmas dance shapes up Wi 0.K.

Our school is very fortunate to have a council that measures up to these standards of service. This organization plans and carries out various activities that are beneficial to the school as a Whole. One delegate and one alternate from each advisory group are elected to serve on the Student Council. They make reg- ular reports on activities of the council to their advisory groups and serve as spokesmen for both the student body and the faculty. Homecoming preparations, March of Dimes collections, pay assemblies, and clean-up in the springg these are only a few of the various activities of our Stu- dent Council. Dale Mitchell capably car- ried out his duties as president of this or- ganization, assisted by Nancy Parsons, vice-presidentg and Darla Yoder, secre- SEATED: L. Leyden, R. Hirschler, D. Mitchell, N.

These officers and other Student Council members worked under the sponsorship of Miss Peterson. In addition to the Homecoming dance, this year's Student Council sponsored a Soc-Hop in the boys' gymnasium. There was no charge for admission, but shoes were forbidden on the dance floor. Inci- dentally, shoes could be checked for a 25 cent fee at the door. Again this year, FHS was fortunate to have the Greek boy, Dimitrios Stavridis, as an adopted son. Financing his educa- tion and correspondence with him were carried on through the council. Early in April, several representatives journeyed to Tipton to attend a district Student Council convention. The purpose of this meeting was to strengthen the stu- dent councils throughout our district. Special honors went to Darla Yoder when she was chosen as treasurer of the district and Fairfield Was selected as the site of the next year's district meeting.

McN ew Build for the Future Checking attendance at the door Greeted at the door by attendance-check- ers, eager Hi-Y members enter their place of meeting every other Wednesday antici- pating an interesting and lively program. This year's program and activities, plan- ned by an able executive council, helped the boys to become better acquainted and at the same time be of service to others. OFFICERS: H. Mann, B. McNew, D. Gardner G. Burk, L. Timmerman, N. Staves. 60 Selling pop at games helps to raise funds Highlights of the year included the an- nual Sunday morning breakfast served in the school cafeteria by the officers of the group. After downing all we could eat the boys attended services at the Luther- an Church, accompanied by Hi-Y spon- sors, Don Brown and Bill Eddings. Another event which the members look forward to each year is a very masculine style show presented by Lee Gobble. In- cluded in the program were hints on good grooming and samples of the new styles pervading in men's fashions. Nylon jack- ets were an especially big hit. One of the more evident service pro- jects carried out this year was the pur- chasing of the waste paper containers which are at both ends of the hall in the school building. The boys helped to li- nance this and other activities by selling phone books.

Whether they gather in the boy's gym or the auditorium, the girls look forward to entertaining and informative programs. As is the tradition, the Y-Teen year be- gan wtih a recognition service, aquaint- ing members and future members with the club. Then, after a week of suspense- Hlled fun and bevvilderment, Big Sisters officially greeted their Little Sisters in an impressive candlelight ceremony. Big attraction in the fall was a style show, with Y-Teen girls as models. Day- time to night-time, party-time to play- time-members discovered what the best dressed girl is wearing. Throughout the year food sales were sponsored by various groups in the organ- ization. These were primarily to raise money to carry on their charity projects, such as the giving of baskets of food to needy families at Thanksgiving time. Programs during the second semester followed a career theme. Speakers includ- ed a kindergarten teacher, a minister, a drama coach and a nurse. These last few meetings were of special interest to sen- iors in making their future plans. The year concluded With nomination and elec- tion of next year's officers. OFFICERS: L. Clark, R.

Books must be filled out and kept up to date showing a complete record of chapter projects. These reports keep right on going through the summer, too. Since many activities occur during the summer months, projects and records must be kept in ship-shape condition. Each member of the group is required to have an individual project involving either livestock or farming a specified number of acres of ground with certain recommended crops. While engaging in individual activities they also do many jobs as a group. Probably the major activ- ity of this type was the farming of 30 acres of ground recently purchased by the School Board. This ground was planted with various types of seed corn to show the best type for this community under ideal conditions. Activities in FFA were carried out un- der the guidance of President Stuart Tay- lor, Vice-President Larry Manning, Secre- tary Bob Hayes, Assistant Secretary May- nard Craff, Treasurer Richard Paul, Assis- tant Treasurer George Tedrow, Reporter David McCracken, Assistant Reporter Bob Litton, Sentinel Ronald Louth, and Assis- tant Sentinel Virgil Ledger.

Under the direction of Miss Louise Mes- ser, school librarian, and their staff of of- ficers, these willing workers assume full responsibility for planning and decorating the library bulletin boards, assist in pre- paring new books for circulation, and file and care for the various magazines. During Book Week a colorful tea for Junior and Senior High teachers proved interesting to all in attendence. The hos- tesses served as guides, and made sure that no one had a dull moment, including them- selves. All members look forward to the picnic which is held each spring in honor of the senior members. At this exciting meeting plans are made for the following year, in- cluding election of officers. All officers are chosen for one semester, except treasurer, who serves a full school year. This year's treasurer was Linda Taylor. First semester officers were as follows: Jackie White, president, Mary Anne Bowne, vice-president, and Jeanette Mougin, secretary. In January these girls were succeeded by Kathryn Keller as pres- identg Janice Smith, vice-presidentg and Janice Cummings, secretary.

Sponsored by Mr. james Hor- ner and Mr. Paul Franklin, these eager shutterbugs learn to develop their own prints in the darkroom below the stage. By combining efforts and experiences, and with a little expert advice thrown in, they hope to become better amateur photogra- phers. To some of the members, with whom photography is merely a hobby, the progress they make is for their own sat- isfaction. Others may put their training to use some day in a career in photography. President this year was Phil Warner, vice-president, Dick Robinsong secretary, Coe Ann Blough and treasurer, Bill Murphy. Dial in for Service On the air Off to a flying start in its second year of existence, Radio Club received its call letters, KBPR, from the Federal Commun- ications Commission. Now any members who receive amateur licenses will be able to transmit on the air. Radio Club was formed to interest more people in becoming amateur radio opera- tors. To get novice operator licenses, the members, under the direction of Mr. Iliff Leu, diligently study International Morse Code and the F. C. C. regulations concern- ing radio. This year they built a trans- mitter and designed an A. S. L. card that is sent to other stations they contact. Radio Club officers were Ken Hanshaw, Bill Lyons, Charlotte Mitchell and Charles McCracken. atin tudents Reconquer Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears. As the prospective members are led to their initiation, all their pre- viously acquired knowledge of the Latin language flashes before them, and then suddenly disappears. If the students can pass a rigid exam, they become members of Fairfield High School's Senatus Popu- lusque Romani. After wading through three semesters of Latin, under the guidance of Mrs. Mar- garet Hoerner, students are eligible for initiation into SPQR. Clad in togas, these newcomers serve at an authentic Roman banquet in the spring. SPQR officers were Dale Smith, John Krane, Darla Yoder, Myrna Solheim, Lin- da Whitney, Carol McCabe and Ann May- er.

Well, it really isn't as bad as it sounds, since an experienced instruc- tor drives with students using dual con- trols. Upon completion of this training, they have learned courtesy on the road, as well as fundamentals of driving. Drivers' Club was organized to promote better and safer driving among our teen- agers. Any high school driver may be- long, whether or not he or she has taken the Highway Safety course.

Gay Nineties Review was the grand title of the annual fall athletic banquet. Included in the program were selections by an almost authentic barbershop quar- tet. Spring sports Were highlighted by a banquet based on the theme Old Mexico. Decorations centered around a mural de- picting a typical Mexican landscape, com- plete With burro. To finance the projects, Pep Club mem- bers sell goodies at both football and bas- ketball games. It's lots of work, but every- one agrees that it is Worth the effort. Pep Club officers were Alice Fickel, Darla Yoder, Rosemary Menke and Deanna DeGood. ew Friends Throu h Sports Sportsmanship, teamwork, and fellow- ship are emphasized in the local Girls, Ath- letic Association. GAA members find op- portunities for wider groups of friends, they are given better chances to partici- pate in girls' sports and they also gain val- uable athletic training. The girls make their headquarters in the girls' gymnasium and under the sponsorship of Miss Norma Johnson they carry out their year's pro- gram. Each year the girls sponsor a Levi-Leap which is a dance in the form of a spinster spree. Participation in any sport is the way GAA members earn points. These points are earned by the hour and different types of sports rate different amounts of points. At the end of the year the girls' points are added up and pins or letters are awarded according to the totals. This year among their various activities, several senior girls represented Fairfield at a play-dayv in Iowa City. These girls came out on top in the contests in which they participated. Also, throughout the year several surrounding towns visited Fairfield.

Full of enthusiasm after an exciting trip to Atlantic City, where they won second place in the National Lions Club Parade, the Marching Band members began pre- paring for the busy football season. Com- ing down the bell tower steps playing the Star Spangled Banner and entertaining during half time, the band contributed to all home games. Left, Right, to the Rear, March com- ing from the field told us that Contest was on its way. Besides regular practice ses- sions during school time, many hours of practice took place on Tuseday and Thurs- day evenings under the lights. A great amount of effort was put forth by all. Tired feet and aching backs were well rewarded when Contest Day arrived. In the morning the baton ensemble: Kay 72 Carl, Shirley Kaska, Nancy Parsons, and Janet Porteous received top honor for snappy routine. The flag swinging solo- ists, Justine Stewart and Sharon Messer, were awarded ones. In bell lyre competi- tion, Mary Anne Bowne and Virginia Langner placed at the top with division one ratings. The climax of the day was the band receiving a first place rating. The snappy routine ended with the band forming a stage and the baton twirlers doing a lively dance to When the Saints Go Marching In. Thus Contest Day ended a big success. After the football season the Marching Band retired for the winter. When out- of-door music and majorette's commands could be heard echoing from the stadium we knew that spring had arrived and the band was preparing for a trip to Veisha. Brin s Hon A spirit of enthusiasm prevails when the Clown Band plays at each pep assembly. They have helped to raise the spirit of the school throughout the year when they have traveled to many out of town games. An added note this year Was at Homecoming, when in their unusual attire, the Clown Band led the parade around the square and played in the park. Another integral part of the band is the baton twirlers. Not only do they lead the band through its many unique routines, but they also offer half-time entertainment at the basketball games. Besides their routines, the baton twirlers participate in other band functions and are on hand to act as usherettes at the band concerts. Girls who have taken an active part in twirl- ing this year are: Kay Carl, Nan- cy Parsons, Shirley Kaska, Verna Speer, Marlene Morgan, Sharon Messer, Justine Stewart, janet Por- teous, Marilyn Fickel and Virginia Daggett. or O I O CLOWN BAND, FRONT ROW: G.

Next Christmas at Home was portrayed by a num- ber of small vocal groups. The last act of the evening was the interpretation of The Nativ- ity by the choir and a narrator, Hugh Castell. Pat McDowell and Dale Mitchell added to the beauty of the story with their solos. Finishing the concert was the traditionally sung hymn, Silent Night.

While working for Rudolpho, she arouses the affections of the Lieu- tenant Governor's son, Etienne Grandet. Etienne later visits Marietta at her new home and persuades her to attend a masked ball where she is on the point of accepting his hand even though she really loves Capt. Dick Warrington. Capt. Dick arrives on the scene with his men, exposes Etienne as the notorious pirate Bras Pique and discovers that Marietta returns his love for her. So all ends well as is told in the beautiful love song, Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life. Helping the cast portray the story were flower girls, street sweepers, Cap- tain Dick's men and the casquette girls. Also adding to the beauty of the story were a number of dances which Mary Ann Bowne originated and directed. Assisting with the success of the oper- etta was Miss Hart directing dramatics, and Mr. Glocke and his art class, creat- ing the beautiful sets.

At the beginning of the year tryouts were held to help get the right voices to- gether in harmony for the small groups. Those who were chosen worked for many extra hours out side of the regular sched- ule of chorus in preparation for the de- mands made by the public for the choral entertainment at their club meetings. These small groups also added to the per- formances of the choir during the year, and some helped at the special assembly programs for the school at Thanksgiving and Easter. All the hard work put in by the small groups and soloists was tested when they Went to the state music contest held at Chariton on April 27th and 28th. The Madrigal Singers were selected to attend a Workshop at Iowa City which helped their group get ready for this big event of the year. Other small groups who en- tered the contest were the First Girls' Sextette, Double Mixed Quartet, Boys' Quartet, and Second Girls' Sextette. Be- sides these groups there Were vocal solo- ists, piano soloists and choral conducting contestants also entered. Nadene Martin and Charlotte Mitchell sang solos in the high soprano division and Gary DuVa1l in tenor. Roberta Hirschler entered in chor- al conducting and she, Dale Mitchell, and Carol Sherman played piano solos. Provide Special Entertainment Besides vocal entries at the state music contest, FHS also had many instrumental contestants. Soloists who were entered are as follows: Dick Robinson and Janice Cummings, saxophone, Pauline Langner, piccolog Molli Rae Huff and Judy Hollan- der, fluteg Caroline White, clarinet, Kent Davidson and Denny Kemp, cornet, Tom Krumboltz and Roger Little, tubag Cath- leen Peck, snare drum, Gary DuVall, vio- lin, and Joyce Blough and Virginia Lang- ner, bell lyre. Just as the vocal music de- partment has small groups, the instrumen- tal department also has many ensembles which practice throughout the year and perform at many social functions. The ensembles which attended contest this year were: Brass Sextet, Saxophone Quartet, Bb Clarinet Quartet, Drum Ensemble, Cor- net Trio, Violin Duet and Woodwind Trio. Another activity offered at FHS, that is a big opportunity for many, is organ les- sons which are given by Mrs. Ruby. Or- gan music has become very popular the last few years and we are very fortunate to have an organ and a qualified instructor to teach our students. Those people who took advantage of this Were: Norma Hol- lander, Coe Ann Blough, Jim Hoover, Judy Hollander, Carol Sherman, J a ne Winter, Janice Cummings, Joyce Wade, Christy Russell, Eleanor Boos and Jean Russell. Their talents were greatly appre- ciated before and during all the vocal pro- grams and many used their ability for var- ious other activities at school and outside of school. BOYS' QUARTET: D.

Mr. Leu aroused enthusiasm in the student body by making the suggestion that school organizations march together carry- ing posters in the snake dance before the game. l Feeling the enthusiasm, a number of unnamed students whitewashed merchants' Windows, cars, and also themselves on the night before the game. The atmosphere was charged with excitement as students filed into the auditorium for the pep meeting. When the cheerleaders had worked the crowd up to a fever pitch, they star- ted the snake dance. As the parade reached the downtown area, a large group of townspeople assembled to view the stream of students, floats, Highlights banners, and Homecoming Queen candidates riding regally in convertibles. The paraders came together in Central Park and after shak- ing the tall elms With a few cheers, left to await the game. The spirit carried through the evening as we thoroughly trounced our opponents, but win- ners and losers forgot their differences at the Homecoming Dance after the game. Our gym was cleverly decorated in a Fall motif, and to make the dance complete, music was furnished by the Aristocrats . The Grand Finale of the evening was the crowning of the Homecoming Queen. As ten- sion mounted and drums rolled, Mr. Liddy, a master of suspense, finally placed the crown on the head of charming Donna Pattison. HOMECOMING COURT-SEATED: D.

Cheerleader tryouts were held the first week of school after which four regulars and two alternates were elected by popular vote, with Kay Maple being appointed cheerleader captain. Then began the big task of generating school spirit throughout the football and basketball seasons, which was no easy job. With the help of their advisor, Mr. Leu, the girls spent long hours practicing old cheers and devising new ones.

They gave forth with plenty of cheers of Fight, Team, Fight and en- listed the aid of the Clown Band, Pep Club and guest speakers to make pep assemblies varied and interesting. The cheerleaders played an important part in making this year's Homecoming a memorable one. They arranged the activ- ities for the afternoon of Homecoming starting with a pep assembly in the audi- torium, followed by a parade around the square, and climaxed by a pep rally in Cen- tral Park. To round out this year's activities, the cheerleaders and their advisor were hosts to the newly-elected cheerleaders for next year at a dinner in May. Win, lose, or draw the cheerleaders have given forth with enthusiastic cheering and a sportsmanlike attitude. Whether our games were played at home or out of town, these girls were always on hand at each of them to help spur on our team, so here is a cheer for the girls in orange and black who have served us so faithfully in the football stadium and on the basketball court. flame with Football Desire l I FRONT ROW: R.

The Trojans were a great well-coached football machine which would not give up, as was shown in the first few games, and again in the Home- coming game. Fired with a desire to win, the men of Troy defeated their first two opponents: McKinley of Cedar Rapids and Ottumwa. The exciting 20-18 win over McKinley Trojans Whip ttumwa produced many thrills for the Trojan fans, which proved to be the case throughout most of the season. In their crushing 19-6 victory over Ottumwa our Fairfield- ers pushed Ottumwa all over the field for a much-deserved win. jim Keltner, with about a minute gone in the first quarter, gave Trojan fans something to yell about by intercepting an Ottumwa pass and go- ing 93 yards to the Ottumwa 7 yard line. This run would not have succeeded if it had not been for the excellent blocking by the rest of the team. The Trojans proved they also had a defense throughout the game, especially in the closing minutes when they held Ottumwa for little or no yardage. The team, full of spirit, determination and confidence, invaded Keokuk. Our men were a little groggy from the trip and in the opening minutes were pushed back for a Keokuk touchdown. The Trojans then stormed back behind timely blocking and clutch runs by Terry Heil and Doug Bal- derson for our first touchdown.

In the second half our Trojans were the team they had been in the Ottumwa gameg tough, inspired and determined. We stormed over two touchdowns before Keo- kuk could get their feet on the ground and slow us down. Terry Heil again played a major role in the Trojans' second half drive by flashing for long gains and scor- ing one touchdown. Then disaster struck for the men of Troy with 3 minutes re- maining in the game. It began with a 35 yard screen pass for another Keokuk touch- down. With 2 minutes left Keokuk recov- ered their kickoff after it had gone ten yards and were in possession of the ball. Fairfield was then penalized 15 yards and the ball was on the Trojan's 30 with 1:45 left in the game. Keokuk then took the ball and went all the way to score the win- ning touchdown. At the final gun the score stood at 27 for Keokuk and 25 for Fairfield. A very bewildered team couldn't get started the next three games and lost to Muscatine 7-0, Mt. Pleasant 26-0 and to Fort Madison 24-7. GAME SCORES Fairfield Opponents 20 McKinley 18 19 Ottumwa 6 25 Keokuk 27 O Muscatine 7 0 Mt. Pleasant 26 7 Ft.

A 65 yard scoring jaunt by Lel Newlon in the third quarter was one of the main highlights of the game. Newlon's brilliant run started as a line plunge, but with the help of some crushing blocks in the line he went all the way. Then with about one minute left in the game, Terry Heil made a beautiful catch of Bob Mc- New's 30 yard pass. Three plays and 45 seconds later Doug Balderson ran the fast- est he had run this year around right end for 6 yards and the game-winning touch- down. The victorious Trojans traveled out of town for a non-conference game with Os- kaloosa. The Trojan attack looked great in the first half, but with no reserves they couldn't keep it up and went down to de- feat 14-7. The team, minus six regulars because of illness, invaded Burlington on a night that felt as if winter were here to stay. Burlington showed their conference superiority by downing the flu-riddled Trojans 47-14. The man shortage of the team was the problem all season. nexperlence Hinders Scoring only 19 points against their opponents 136 tallies, dur- ing a seven game season, the Lightweight gridders left a dis- heartening and unimpressive re- cord. Lacking capable manpower, because of inexperience, the jun- ior Trojans struggled through their winless season with team spirit and determination run- ning high. During the early fall practices, the lightweights, sore and tired with aching muscles, learned the hard way what goes into the making of a team which has the desire to win and in the face of defeat does not quit. These gridders continued to try, but the odds of fate and the skill of their opponents were too over- .. whelming. Reltner roars around right end for vital yardage in Homecoming game FRONT ROW: B.

The FHS players came through in two sectional contests by deci- sive scores. In the first game, at Washington, Co- lumbus Junction was downed by the Fair- fielders 64-54. The FHS squad also at- tained a ten-point margin over Keota in their second round of sectional play by downing them 63-53. Only in district com- petition did the Fairfield boys become the under-dogs and lose a hard fought game to mighty Keokuk 80-38. Fired with the determination to win the Fairfield boys did their best, but Keokuk's skill was too much for the Trojans. With only four returning lettermen, Jim Keltner, Dale Smith, Dick Freeman, and Lefty Leyden, the Trojans began the season with an inexperienced team. In addition to the above boys, the following received basketball letters this year: Dick Babcock, Larry Anderson, Bob McNew, Gale Burk, Larry Swanson and Ronnie Wilsong and managers, Don Unkrich and Paul Smith.

Organized for the purpose of gaining experience, the lightweights, junior var- sity, and freshmen basketball teams showed promise during their regular season con- tests. The lightweights, playing their games before the varsity games, compiled a record of 4 wins and 12 losses. The jun- ior varsity, fashioning a record of 10 wins and no losses, might be an indication of the caliber of future FHS basketball. End- ing the season with a slightly less im- pressive record than the jr. V.'s the fresh- men squad turned up with a record of 9 wins and only 3 losses. With increased practice and game experience, the future for these hardcourt prospects looks bright. JR. VARSITY Fairfield Opponents 55 Richland 51 59 Ft. Madison 51 54 Batavia 39 62 Ft.

The men of Troy, in only their second season of competition, achieved a very impressive record of eight Wins and two defeats and fourth in the conference meet. Our Trojans defeated Iowa City twice in very surprising 22-18 and 29-14 victor- ies. With this they began to build their prestige and show their team strength. They broke even with Ottumwa 20-17 and 18-21 and polished off Burlington very nicely 29-16. Muscatine, in its first sea- son of wrestling, was defeated by the Fair- fielders 24-20 and 26-5. These two wins helped establish the Fairfield High School matmen as very probable title contenders in the Little Six Conference.

Pleasant Sectional Agency Eldon District Keota The Trojans of Fairfield High swung into the second full season of baseball with valuable experience gained in the some- times devastating first year. The Fair- field moundsmen won only six of fifteen games last spring including tournament play, but this by no means gives the com- plete picture. Fairfield started the season on a good note by whipping Iowa City 3-1. In this game, the Trojans, behind the su- perb pitching of ace moundsman Bill Stearns, set the Little Hawks down in or- der, in every inning but the fifth and sixth, when the Iowa City players obtained their only run. The game was a thriller all the way. A combination of well timed hits and costly Iowa City errors, plus good Tro- jan defense, finally spelled defeat for the Iowa Citians. After this win there followed a drought of five losses to Little Six Conference teams. This was finally ended by a second win over Iowa City to the tune of 10-9. The season continued with a loss to Ft. Madison, splitting a two game series with Mt. Pleasant, and losing a second game to Burlington. The final game was with the Mt. Pleasant Panthers and the season end- ed on the same note as it began with a 5-4 win. Throughout the baseball season, the Trojans showed the fight and determina- tion which has been a trademark of Fair- field teams down through the years. FRONT ROW: D. Swan, D. Babcock, J. Bush, D.

These comments and others similar to them are common as the link season gets under- way. The golf squad, anchored by the brilliant style and skill of Bruce Louden, a four year letter winner, turned out some thrilling moments for FHS golf fans last year. As this QUILL goes to press, not too much can be said of the Trojan links- men, as their power has not yet been tested. Last spring, the Trojans, led by ace Bruce Louden, won all six dual meets and made impressive showings in the State meet, the Fairfield Invitational, and the Little Six GOLF SCHEDULE April 9 Ottumwa April 14 Muscatine and Washington April 21 Keokuk April 28 Fairfield Invitational May 2 Mt.

The team, composed of Bob Solheim, Danny Harrison, Louden, and Jerry Ephraim, made one of the more outstanding show- ings in Fairfield golf annals in recent years. With the favorable impression last year's squad left and the experience this year's young team has gained, much can be expected of Fairfield golfers this year and in the years to follow. Bruce displays accurate form 95 Track Builds ' Self Reliance Bang! They're off! False starts--Pass that baton-These words and many others are heard come track season. Last year's Fairfield High School thin clads produced a fine individualist in our miler Phil Howrey who won second place in the Drake Relays high school mile and gained a 4th place berth in the State mile. He also set a record at the Ottumwa Relays and won both the mile and half mile run at the Ft. Madison Relays. The mile medley team composed of Gene Fulton, Jim Keltner, Mert King, and Phil Howrey won fourth in the Drake Relays and compiled an impressive record throughout the season. Another individualist who made a fine show- ing last year was Maynard Baker who tied the Little Six indoor record in the 50 yard dash set by another Fairfielder, jerry Camp- bell. This year's track squad has steadily im- proved during the season. In their first two meets, both at Iowa City, they did not make an impressive showing, but gained valuable experience. In the annual Little Six Indoor Carnival they placed 7th but found they had p another miler this year in Morris Hilleary, l who placed 4th in the mile. At the Oskaloosa .

They placed 7th out of 11 teams, by scoring 15 points. The 440 yard relay team highlighted the Fairfield per- formance when they were nosed out of first place by two tenths of a second. This team was composed of Jim Keltner, Gale Burk, Terry Heil and Doug Balderson. The same team also placed second in the 880 yard relay. As this book goes to press, there is not much more that can be said except, that with continuing improvement, a successful season is certainly in store for the FHS tracksters. 1956 TRACK SCHEDULE March 31 State Indoor April 3 Little Six Indoor April 13 Oskaloosa Relays April 17 Ottumwa Relays April 25 , Triangular - Washington and Mt.

Louden Editorials, organization reports, sports news and just plain fun-to-read articles add interest and student appeal to the is- sues of the TROY BANNER. Much work and many noisy meetings contributed to the publication of the official school pa- per. Also, a lot of last minute prepara- tions went into each of the thirteen issues that came out this year. Bruce Louden gave many extra hours and a lot of useful ideas to the successful completion of each edition. Rosemary Lane helped Bruce with his duties by serv- ing as assistant editor. Miss Leslie Hart, sponsor, also faced many of the problems of compiling the write-ups and various other tasks. The entire staff helped sub- stantially to make the newspaper interest- ing and worth while for everyone. Special interest was created this year by the clever and original sketches, along with the attractive front page pictures, which were the finished products of Darla Yoder and Margaret Droz. Organization reports were written by Judy Schock, Jim Hoover and Mary Ann Klett. LaVerne Leyden and Kathryn Kel- ler compiled the sports news, and class cuts were handled by Sharon Russell, Ila Mae Hemm and Judy Hollander. Doro- I02 thy Fickel, Sue Horton and Marilyn Fick- el wrote the special articles which in- cluded everything from birthdays to fac- ulty portraits. Typists were Joyce Blough, Marjorie Montgomery and Darlene Smith. The TROY BANNER was put into circu- lation by Janet Porteous, Janet Hutchin- son and Kay Maple. The financial wiz- ardry was created by Karen VanNess who served as business manager. Last fall five members represented our paper at the state convention in Iowa City. They brought back many useful ideas which were incorporated into the TROY BANNER. Thus, with a lot of hard work and new ideas the TROY BANNER sur- vived another year as our tell all news- paper.

Mr. Mon- roe, of the faculty, and Mr. Tom Noller of the school board gave a few Words of ad- vice which could be used in future years. Dinner music was provided by underclass- men on the organ. The Boys' Quartet and a junior mixed group sang several songs fitting to the occasion. Everyone was in- vited back to dance after the gym had been cleared. ul- WBTZN, N. we-ai? .

Slaving away at write-ups, lugging heavy pop cases at games and opening bottles till their knuckles were sore, trudging cold streets peddling Christmas cards, and duti- fully executing various and sundry odd jobs assigned by their superiors, these en- thusiastic Penscratchers could equal the vim and vigor of any of the official QUILL staff members. A juicy bit of gossip, hamburgers by the dozen, and even a few jokes pepped up the regular Monday evening sessions. How- ever, a lot of hard work and several extra meetings went along with the fun as these Penscratchers would be the first to agree. From the large number of applications filled out last fall, eight juniors were se- lected to aid the senior staff members. Penscratchers are selected for their ability to work in cooperation with others. The juniors this year did everything from cleaning up the folders to writing extra lines to fill up space. These loyal Pen- scratchers were even kept in the dark con- Christmas card salemen Eat hearty while chances are good SEATED: C. Sherman, T. Goltry, J. Johnson, J. Mougin. STANDING: K. Keller, J.

They gained much valuable experience even though they were not assured of being on QUILL staff their senior year. Each of these eight was assigned to a certain section under the direction of senior mem- bers. Gary DuVall served as assistant bus- iness manager and Tom Goltry worked on the dramatics section. Judy Hollander assisted in class layouts, joel Johnson helped on sports and Kathryn Keller work- ed on organizations. Gary Lundberg clicked as assistant photographer and Jeanette Mougin helped with school life, while Carol Sherman as- sisted with senior write-ups. These Pen- scratchers made their contributions to- ward opening the door to the 1955-1956 school year. IO! Chapter farmer awards were made to a number of members. Stuart Taylor, chap- ter president, won the DeKalb award for outstanding work in FFA activities. The chapter program of work was interestingly presented by the use of pictures, printed material and slides. 99 Intramurals For Fun Participation Builds Speech Nite this year opened with a one-act play, A By-Line for St. Luke. Gary Lundberg, Sue Horton, Jim Hoover, Richard Zillman, Sharon Russell, janet Porteous and Christy Russell combined to make the play a fine success. Berle Decker, winner of the I Speak for Democracy contest, delivered his prize-winning essay and was awarded a portable radio as first place Winner. Examples of different types of individ- ual speech events composed a large part of the evening's program. Extemporane- ous speaking is one of the more difficult A By-Line for St. Luke forms of contest speech work in which the contestant receives his topic 45 minutes before delivering his speech. John Krane delivered an extemporaneous speech en- titled Preparing Our Soldiers for Poss- ible Enemy Capturef' Declamation, a memorized selection, is divided into hum- orous, oratorical and dramatic sections. Examples of each of these were delivered by Janice Smith, Marjorie Stewart and David McCracken. An interpretive read- ing was given by Shirley Kaska and Judy Hollander delivered an original oration en- titled Sensational Comic Books and Their Effect on Children. Two small groups, debate and panel dis- cussion, also made their appearance. Re- solved: That Our Present System of Re- cording Grades Should Be Abolished was ably debated by Phil Hinson and Virginia Daggett, affirmative, and Judy DeHaan and Marjorie Stewart, negative. The six member panel composed of Bruce Louden, Rosemary Lane, Hugh Castell, Judy Schock, Phil Warner, and Charles Mc- Cracken discussed The Outlook for the '56 Political Campaign. A choral reading group under the dir- ection of Mr. Monroe, furnished a suitable climax for the evening. The entire pro- gram moved smoothly under the artful dir- ection of the master of ceremonies, Tom Goltry. INDIVIDUAL SPEAKERS: D. McCracken, J. Krane, B. Decker IO4 Self Confidence In the spring a speech enthusiast's fan- cy lightly turns to thoughts of contest. As the fever of future competition overcomes him, he investigates and finds there are several channels in which he may display his abilities. Possibly he enjoys memory work. In that case, he selects some phase of declamation-humorous, oratorical or dramatic. Desiring an audience larger than that of the average auditorium, our hero prepares himself for radio speaking. Composing his own selection is only half the work, he practically has to learn to speak all over again so that his voice retains its golden tones over the air-waves. Having steady nerves, the hopeful en- thusiast selects interpretive reading. Not knowing what he is to deliver until 45 min- utes before time can be quite frustrating. Nevertheless he many times ventures into this division. Feeling well informed our gullible little contestant enters extemporaneous speak- ing He draws three topics from which he may choose one. A six minute speech is to be delivered after an hour of preparation. Perhaps our home town lad doesn't care for individual events. In this case he plans to make a place for himself in the dramatic work by taking part in a contest one-act play, which is a major part of contest speech work. This year Fairfield students took part in five different speech contests. First of the year was an elimination contest among only Fairfield entrants to determine who would attend the preliminary contest. Those who survived the preliminary con- test attended the sub-district in Keokuk. Next the remaining few went to Clinton for the district contest. Last it was On to State at Storm Lake for the six remain- ing contestants, where Shirley Kaska, Hugh Castell and Richard Zillman re- ceived Znd place ratings and Janet Porte- ous, .Tustine Stewart and Bruce Louden received top ratings. 9 .

We build useful projects Student guide points the way Teacher commands attention After many long years of absence, our par- ents were back in the class room again. The reason for this mass return was the invitation by the students and faculty to visit FHS on Parent's Night during National Education Week. Parents and teachers met in the auditorium where they were greeted by Dale Mitchell, President of the Student Council. Principal S. W. Kirlin spoke about the purpose of a good education in the world today and what high school was doing to train students to meet the challenge of a modern age. In conclusion, he asked the parents to visit their son's and daugh- ter's advisors to get a schedule of their classes. Our parents took a trip through the school day, talking for few minutes with each teacher their teen-agers worked with during the day. Some parents were slightly confused by the long rows of doors and asked directions from the friendly Student Council members at the ends of the halls who acted as guides. A much wiser, more understanding group met in the cafeteria where they were served coffee and doughnuts which sent them homeward bound. Helping round School What are we having for lunch today? This is a common question in FHS when stomachs begin to growl around noontime as practically all students, teachers and employ- ees eat their noon meal here at school. Pre- 5 paring tasty, hot well-balanced meals at a minimum cost is a full time job and no simple task. The menus are planned by Miss Gwen Mayers, home economics teacher, and pre- pared by the cooks Working under Mrs. Fern Stagers. Not only must the cooks do such things as peeling potatoes and onions, frost cakes, shred cabbage and lettuce, and butter bread in preparing a mealg but they must see that it is served on time and that the .f lunch room and kitchen are kept spic and span. For their many long hours of Work e the cooks deserve a big vote of thanks. D- Speasf A- Smith, D' Martin, F' Stagersf M. Schafer, N. Hootman 106 miles! Not many people realize that this is the daily round trip of one of the high school's busses. They play an important part in our school as almost half of our student body live in the rural areas and depend on school busses for transportation. Besides driving their regularly scheduled routes, sev- eral of the drivers use their busses to trans- port the junior high students to gym classes, our Trojan teams to out-of-town football and basketball games and speech and music contests. Seeing that the busses are kept running smoothly and are in tip-top shape is the job of Eddie Adkins. Piloting a school bus requires more than ordinary driving FRONT ROW: K, Crile, E, Adkins, E, skill and our drivers are to be commended Little, V- Ferrel, B- N0rth- ROW 2: R- for the safe record they have set. Little, B. Lyons, T. Krumboltz, J. Horras. ROW 3: R. Taglauer, W. Martin A rare picture it is to catch these gentle- men all together. One simply wonders how they seemingly can be in so many places and do so many things at once. A total of 575 persons are a lot of people to pick up after and can cause considerable Wear and tear on our school building in a day. Beside the tre- mendous job of keeping the building and grounds clean, one often forgets the small tedious jobs such as turning off lights when others have gone home, emptying Wastepapel' baskets, replacing broken pencil sharpeners, and repairing the many things that get bro- ken during the school year. These custo- dians, under the supervision of Elbert Little, deserve a big salute for helping to keep our school a place we can be proud of. mf , ' . P. Reese, E. Little, L. Linn, R.

And what could be a better selection than a typical Henry Aldrichi' production entitled What a Life . Following along the usual theme Henry manages to get himself involved in many amusing situations. In fact, Henry is in the principal's office so much he is practi- cally part of the furniture. More and more crimes Csuch as cheating and drawing uncomplimentary pictures of the teachersj pile up on poor Henry's head. Finally Henry is accused of stealing the school's band instruments and pawning them. After a very involved chase by the po- lice, Henry is finally cleared of the charge and the name of Aldrich stands unspoiled and spotless. In the midst of the confusion there is a budding romance going on between Hen- ry and a girl, Barbara Pearson. All's Well that ends well and as usual Henry comes out on top in love as well as his many oth- er difficulties. The cast of What a Life was ably as- sisted by many people who served on stage crews, costume committees and make-up crews. Miss Leslie Hart directed the pro- duction which gave experience to future dramatic enthusiasts.

That is exactly what Adelaide Willifer wondered after she innocently bought and published a novel entitled Cuckoo's Nest by another so-called unsuccessful au- thor, a novel which immediately became a best seller. Adelaide is suddenly thrown into the spotlight of fame and prominence, which she accepts in her usual childlike manner. She is about to receive an honorary Lady of Letters degree when the inevitable exposure comes, leaving her high and dry without her new found importance or friends. With the authorities struggling to cover their em- barrassment, the real author refusing to press charges, and Adelaide faithfully promising to buy no more books, her unusual and humorous adventure comes to a satisfying close. On May 10, 1956 the senior class pre- sented Lady of Letters as their last contribution to dramatics at Fairfield High School. They Promote the Dramatic Arts Hard working participants in previous dramatic activities are eligible for mem- bership in the Fairfield chapter of the Na- tional Thespians. The minimum require- ment for membership in this organization is ten points earned by acting or working on crews. Though these ten points seem very small, each one represents ten hours of hard work. The rank of a One, Two, Three, or Four Star Thespian may be at- tained by a member after initiation. Each star is gained after ten additional points are earned by the member. The officers guiding the activities of this honorary organization this year were: president, Kenny Hanshawg vice-president, Kay Mapleg secretary, Karen VanNessg treasurer, Sharon Russell, historian, Tom Goltry, program chairman, Nancy Parsons and point chairman, Kenny Simmons.

Hangman's Noose was the appropriate title for the evening of murder and in- trigue. The gory plot revolved around an ec- centric authoress trying to clear her nephew's name of murder. The whole family, all of whom are a little o-o-o-o-odd, were gathered for the reading of the will. The unusual pro- visions of the will combined with a faulty electrical system created many hair-raising situations. The evening was climaxed by the discovery that the seemingly innocent and only apparently sane member of the family was the guil- ty one. Three murders, one knockout, one abduction and one attempted mur- der vvere attributed to him. When con- fronted by the return of one whom he had buried alive, the villain obligingly committed suicide thus ending Junior Nite 1955. Sprinkled with murder, seasoned with suspense, and served With a topping of fine acting, the play was a huge suc- cess for all involved.

Who hear the laughter of the crowd through closed doors? Who freeze their hands and numb their feet to take tickets at the stadium gates while friends enjoy the game? Who miss the winning touchdown while the money is be- ing counted in the office during the last quarter of an exciting football game? Why, the diligent financial managers, of course! B.

Wallerich In fact, the student money watchers are so eager that they watch the bulletin board closely outside Mr. Jack Hoerner's room to be the first to know who will be ex- pected to come back to the school at 6:15 to check in the evening's receipts after everyone has gone home. These students work under the careful supervision of Mr. Jack Hoerner, athletic financial manager for the school. From the number of applications filed early in the fall the managers and their substitutes are chosen and are expected to serve all year. Not every manager works every game, as there are enough so that each may see a certain percentage of the games, both football and basketball. They are required to work not only all of the high school games but the grade and junior high ones as well. Their work knows no special sea- son as it is football in the fall, basketball in the winter, track in the spring and base- ball in the summer. The managers receive their reward at the end of the year when they are honored guests at the Spring Recognition Banquet. There, after two years of faithful service, they are rewarded with a handsome orange letter. uill Advertisers Our grateful thanks to the following firms and individuals who have substantially aided us by the purchase of advertising space in this publi- cation of the QUILL.
