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. S. Warner Kirlin I2
