John A. Hoerner From the resounding crack of a golf ball to the jingle of money in a change box, Mr. Hoerner's guidance and advice has always been present, needed and respected. This year is the culmination of thirty-three he has spent in the Fairfield school system. After the present school term Mr. Hoerner will no longer be with us, but who will ever forget his symbol for victory? In appreciation for his many years of ser- vice at FHS, we dedicate this, the '57 QUILL.

Often we are apt to forget such conveniences as a modern library, recent text books, musical instruments and stage lighting facilities. For these and many others, we, of Fairfield High School, owe a toast of gratitude to the people of the community who make it possible. Freshmen tread There's no place like home! QA home away from home that isj. This is exactly what a locker is to the high school student. The locker to the freshman was a thing of mystery until the knack of a combina- tion lock was mastered. It is the hub of friendship and information from the time the students enter the halls until they dash madly home. In this 5' by l' rectangle is crammed a various assortment of articles other than the essentials of learning. Items from a well worn orientation pam- phlet to remnants of a last minute snack are found among the waste paper and books thrown into the locker. Where is the card catalog? What is a vertical file? Why do we have to learn all this silly stuff? These questions race through the freshmen's eager minds as they venture to make the acquaintance of the library. For one hectic week Miss Messer, school librarian, managed to sur- vive the many seemingly very simple in- quiries on the workings of the library. The card catalog helps to simplify the sometimes confusing freshman year. After the first few days the students realize that the card catalog is the key which unlocks the knowledge found in the library. Can you bake a cherry pie? First year homemaking girls not only learned how to prepare a meal, but how to arrange appro- priate table settings. As thoughts turned from food to sewing, tempers rose as seam after seam was taken out to meet perfec- tion in the project. This course doesn't intend to specialize in one field, but attempts to give working knowledge in home economics. When freshmen came to FHS they found that extra-curricular activities soon became a part of their busy schedules. One of the activities especially for them was the freshmen vocal groups. These classes gave the first experience in singing with a group of mixed voices to them, and pre- pared many of them for a Cappella Choir. They took part in various music programs and also represented the Fairfield Vocal Music Department in the County Music Festival. a new roacl Shortly after becoming members of the Y-Teen organization freshmen and new students receive curious notes from anon- ymous girls identifying themself as your big sis. Notes are written in every man- ner from backwards to circles to confuse the frustrated little sisters. These notes were accompanied by small gifts of var- ious sorts. After a few days the little sister with great expectation was greeted by her big sister in a very impressive cere- mony. These big sisters will long be re- membered in the minds of each girl. Ouch! That was my thumb! This very common expression is often heard as fresh- men boys get their first experience in a shop class. With hammer, saw, and plane in hand, each person begins his first pro- ject, so as to master fundamentals in wood working. The day the project goes home, whether it be a meat board or a bird house, is a day of accomplishment. After he has acquired these needed skills more compli- cated projects are undertaken. Besides giving a beginning knowledge toward a vocational skill, the class also gives the boy a desire for the pride that comes from a job well done. Picture swapping has grown into quite an event at FHS. Oh your pictures are good! I can hardly wait to see mine! These remarks are heard as students gath- er in room 212 to get the first glimpse of the long awaited replica. These photo- graphs were taken by a professional photo- grapher to appear in the QUILL and were sold by the staff. Although these packets were filled to the brim, it seemed that the friends always out numbered the pictures. Bulging billfolds were mute evidence of the great number of pictures purchased. Does an electric current How from plus to minus or minus to plus? Many such questions arise in the minds of the fresh- man general science students as they probe into the vast field of electricity. Electri- city is only one of the many divisions that is studied in general science. The pur- pose of this course is to prepare the stu- dents for future subjects in the science field by giving them a broad general know- ledge. Sophomores work Sophomores personified the interest of a passing fancy at Fairfield High School. Lockers contained many colorful pictures of the current stars including singer, Elvis Presley. But all fads must pass, and this one was no exception. Dramatics take the lead as FHS soph- omores learn to act before a small group with confidence. The class presents an excellent audience. Pan- tomine is just one of many varied activities learned. Without speak- ing the students very effectively portray all human emotions-fear, anx- iety, love, hate and happiness. Equations! Equations! Equations! What would algebra be without equa- tions? Some problems require many hours of work just to find that the answer is wrong. Visual education plays an important role in algebra as students are often called to the board to explain a complex situation. Hurry up! the bus is leaving for the bowling alley! This is one of the many frenzied cries of boys and girls in gym class. Bowling is one of the most fascinating sports ever taught at FHS. Sore thumbs and turned ankles are just a part of learn- ing to bowl correctly. up the ladder Do you know the definition of Myo- hemetin? If not, run to the diction- ary and copy everything in sight about myohemetin. Use of the dic- tionary was one of the items taught in English III and IV. After search- ing all year commas, semi-colons, periods, and exclamation marks found their proper resting places. World history covers more territory both in time and square miles than any other subject taught in high school. From the passageways be- neath Rome in 200 B.C. to the moun- tains of Canada in 1957 AD., world history gives an excellent background for our modern American civili- zation. If there is one phrase remembered from Latin it is, ego amo te, QI love youj. Many tenses of verbs and cases of nouns are memorized but never forgotten. Latin is used in every- day life by giving Latin students a better understanding of the English language. Oil paintings adorn the halls of FHS at various times throughout the school year. One of the highlights of the year for the art students was the exhibition held in Des Moines. Marion Nichols won a coveted gold key for her wire horse sculpture. Harold Wisecarver received honor- able mention for his oil painting. Juniors near I'm ready for twenty more sacks of pop- corn! This was a common cry as juniors began raising money for the Prom. They racked their brains for every possible idea in order to earn as much money as they could. Many people don't realize the pounds and pounds of butter and popcorn used in a single season, but ask any money minded junior and he will tell you. Other organizations have come to think of the popping machine as the property of the junior class as they are the ones who use it most, and have the selling art well learned. Please name the provisions of the Ver- sailles Treatyf' As this question is asked nearly all juniors tear their hair and wish they had photographic minds. Treaties, boundaries, and square miles are all part of a nation's history. The United States has many possessions: the study of which is also included in the course. United States history students have a sound knowledge of the story of the United States and its possessions at the close of the year. A Bunsen burner is the first instrument chemistry students are introduced to in the laboratory. Through the year many acids and bases withstand severe tests put to them by future chemists. Few explo- sions rock the school but many odoriferous smells come from the lab. When not in the lab, students work hard on workbooks and texts to increase their knowledge. Equations make up a large amount of the work done by industrious chemistry stu- dents while they are not mixing a special brew. Chemistry often leads to exciting futures as druggists or research scientists. Line segments, parallel lines, rectangles, and circles are just part of the language well known to geometry students. Plane and solid geometry is very essential for our future engineers. In class the stu- dents learn to prove theorums and solve problems. Homework is very important in this subject because most of the class time is used for explanations. Compasses make many circles during the year, but it is the inquisitive minds of the students that do the real work. the top Did we sell S25 worth? Money mad juniors asked this question the whole year. Candy sales were conducted in the lower hall during the noon hour by diligent members of the class. Students Cmore often mothersj made candy at home and then brought it to school to be sold. Pro- ceeds of these sales were used to help pay for the Prom and banquet held near the end of the year. The time and labor put into this activity was rewarded only by more work preparing for the Prom. Many humorous incidents, however, helped to lighten the work and made time pass more quickly. What the long reaches of the peaks of song, The rift of dawn, the reddening of the rose? juniors learned the answer to this and many other questions in English class. American literature dominated most of the year with grammar a part of the cur- riculum. Many poets and authors were studied along with their writings. There were a few lines to be memorized, but these came easily in time. The bulletin board always contained interesting pictures re- lating to the authors being studied. Eng- lish 5 and 6 gave the juniors an excellent understanding of our American literature. Quick girls change that tire in ten min- utes. This and many other little helps are taught in driver's training class to make traveling by car a more enjoyable experience. Parallel parking is quite a feat, but soon the students find it just as easy as driving around the block. In reg- ular class time the students study the state laws in regard to the use of the car and the rules and regulations of the road. The highlight of the year came when the would-be motorists took their driving tests en masse. Prepare for a five minute timing! Aching fingers leap to the keys and begin pound- ing away madly. All too soon the five minutes is up and grades have been put on the papers. In class students learn the fundamentals needed in every-day typing. As the students progressed they learned to type term papers and various other ma- terial for school work. Some students took a second semester to prepare for secretar- ial work. As time progressed these stu- dents became so efficient that they made few mistakes in many pages of typing. Future secretaries graduate every year from this class. Purl one, knit two . . . This chant was quite common the weeks home economics students were learing how to knit. Many became discouraged as a stitch was dropped or yarn be- came entangled, but they soon recov- ,--tl... . ,M......,,,,,Me-qw' Seniors complete ered and a sample of their industrious work was ready for a grade by the deadline. Another project this year was working with wools and new: fabrics as suits, dresses, and formals were produced by expert seam- stresses. Clerical office practice gives needed background to prospective secretar- ies as they prepare for future jobs. Laboratory work includes use of the dictaphone and various calculating machines, as well as work with sten- cil and liquid duplicators. Filing and speed in typing are other essen- tials gained through this preparatory course. What's at the end of this line? Why, this is a familiar sight to seniors as they gather at the end of the day in room 108 to check out books by such authors as Magruder and Kidger for home study. American problems is a compulsory subject for all seniors in which they learn the fundamentals of American government, keep up on current events, and do various types of research work. Students in vocational machine shop are instructed in the use of modern machinery and tools which will give them skills and knowledge of basic machine shop practices. In the well- equipped shop the boys get the feel of the machines and practical train- ing in the reading of blueprints by making useful projects to be used at home and on the farm. final year Seeing is believing! These indus- trious senior boys are cleaning up after the annual Hi-Y breakfast. The cabinet planned, cooked, and served the early morning meal, after which the boys attended the Presbyterian Church in a body. The mid-morning milk break in- spired English literature students as they pondered over the works of Shakespeare and Chaucer. Extensive research gave them much knowledge in the technicalities of writing a term paper. Seniors in this course also gained a greater appreciation of liter- ature and improved their use of gram- mar. These surveyors are really trigonom- etry students in disguise. In this subject such terms as antilog, cose- cant, ambiguous cases, and logarith- metic functions are applied to tri- angles. Problems like Finding the height of a building, the length of a pond, and the air distance between two towns are solved by these stu- dents. Physics students learn the how and why of the world of non-living ob- jects. This science tells them how a radio works or why a ball bounces, or what makes a steam engine run. Through this course and by means of experiments students are able to understand and control the forces of nature. lv Seniors look back Many changes have taken place during our four years at FHS, but yet it remains the same - the friendly atmosphere, the hustling in the halls, the cheerful faces. Whether in need of information, advice, or admits, students are always welcome in the principal's office - the hub of the wheel. Before school or between classes a glance in the office will show Mrs. Bren- neman signing myriad colored admits, while Mr. Joss is in a student conference or in the midst of playing a practical joke on a faculty member. Sights of senior announcers, bundled up to meet the brisk autumn wind at football games and always alert for the next play, bring back to us memories of pep assem- blies, Little Six contests, the band in new uniforms marching at half time and the dance afterward. These amateur sports announcers are well on their way to later years in the field of broadcasting. Anticipated and celebrated victory assem- blies will long be remembered by all as faculty members drifted back to their school days and entertained the student body. Drum major Eddings led the band with much dignity and grandeur as cheer- leaders led the yells and various pupils took their turn at the dunce seat. As seniors we end our high school careers, but always we will remember the games, dances, assemblies, vacations, and school work. We are graduated and are going out into the world to make our own way, knowing that we would be lost without the experiences and knowledge gained during our high school days. We have had four good years full of fun and friendship and also our sadder moments - but as we leave we will look back and remember. Urganlzalluns With the phrases Will the meet- ing please come to order and Any volunteers for the refresh- ment committee? , the leaders and followers alike are enriched by participation in the various or- ganized groups of Fairfield High School. There are many types which sat- isfy all interests and personalities. Some organizations have as their purpose fellowship and service, others develop skills and interests. Students profit from association with others who are interested in the same things: speech, radio, farming, music, and library skills. Hard work and accomplishments in fields of sports, drama, or jour- nalism result in initiation into one of the coveted honor organizations. Perhaps a goal above goals is en- trance into the National Honor Society for excellence in scholar- ship, leadership, character, and service. The governing body in any large group, nation or school, is essential also. Our Student Council is the symbol of guidance and group rule in Fairfield High School. Though the proper balance be- tween extra-curricular and scholas- tic activity is often hard to obtain, it is a balance worth achieving and brings a satisfying part-answer to the search for friendship and knowledge.

One of its major activities is general supervision of the Homecoming celebration. Another im- portant job, choosing the many and var- ied assemblies for the school year, is done by a committee of Council members. Now We can say we've danced holes in our socks, but at the annual Sock Hop, held to raise money for the March of Dimes, no one got cold feet - they were having too much fun. Council also sponsored the new United Fund Drive, which combined contributions for the Community Chest and Red Cross. The high school has again chosen Demitrious Stravridis from Greece as its adopted son, to whom we sent let- ters, gifts, and financial aid for his edu- cation. FHS glittered with Christmas spirit as a result of Council planning. With every- one co-operating another seasonal activity overseen by the Student Council, the LIU spring clean-up, was soon accomplished. April 10, of this year, the district Student Council meeting, attended by 250 advisors and student representatives from each Council group in the district was held at Fairfield High. Fun you lintl your own sliocs? l Torches illumine scholarship Hushed expectation prevails throughout the high school auditorium as the students are called to take their places as members of Torch Club, the Fairfield chapter of the National Honor Society. Twice a year the eligible students are selected by vote of the members of their class and faculty. The final selection is made by a faculty committee. This honorary organization has as its pur- pose the encouragement of learning, hard work, and intelligent participation in school and community life. The group, with Miss Lindauer as its advisor, also sponsors an annual banquet for active and graduate members. The qualifications for initiation into Torch Club are high and difficult to meet. Ex- cellence in scholarship, demonstration of leadership ability, strength of character, and service to others are qualities all of which no human professes to have. Torch Club exists as a reward to those who have tried and partially succeeded in develop- ing these ideals into their lives.

Seniors and juniors started the year by being big sisters to the fresh- man and other new girls in the school. Anonymous letters, written in many orig- inal ways, along with small gifts were sent to the little sisters, and in an impressive candle light service the big sisters iden- tity became known.

The Horn of Plenty on stage for the Thanksgiving program showed some of the food brought as a result of this an- nouncement. The memorable program end- ed with a meditation T-H-A-N-K-S and the Lord's Prayer. At Christmas time jun- iors and sophomores could be seen bring- ing their food stuffs and everyone in the school aided by giving money to be used for the purchase of food to complete a well-balanced meal for needy families in the community. Some of the programs on a hobby theme included: the collection of mechanical banks: collection of rare coins and paper money: different handicrafts: and a style show displaying clothing made by the girls. Scouts went looking for hidden ability, when found the contestants were D0 .4 reduced to three girls who represented Y- Teen in a joint talent show with the Hi-Y. Easter time brought forth another style show with the Y-Teen girls as models showing spring fashions from local stores. Justine Stewart, Janice Smith, Ila Mae Hemm and Linda Genkinger represented Fairfield High School at the Y-Teen sum- mer conference at Pella last year.

The Hi-Y, in co-operation with Y- Teen and the student body bought food and distributed twenty baskets at Christmas time. The activity period on alter- nate Wednesdays, is well fill- ed with worship, education and entertainment. With a look to the future members were told about scholarship opportunities and future cars by a representa- tive of the Fisher Body Craft- man's Guild. Besides meet- ings on possible vocations, hobbies were considered at several programs. The ques- tion What'll I wear? was answered by a showing of men's styles - suits, ties, shirts, topcoats. Can you sing? Stand on your head? These were key ques- tions in the Search for acts for the annual Hi-Y Talent Show. The variety of acts in- cluded a melodramatic pres- entation, a pop singer, a snap- py drum solo, and other acts presented to the tune of much laughter and applause. The Hi-Y has functioned smoothly and profitably under the leadership of the elected cabinet. When a member is truly interested and consid- ers his enthusiasm and pre- sence important to the organ- ization and good for himself, then the group as in Hi-Y can more nearly fulfill its Chris- tian purpose in the life of the boys of Fairfield High School.

Candy bars! Ice cream! Coffee! These are all familiar sounds at any home athletic event. The Girls' Pep Club members are always busy selling their wares to the crowd. The money they receive from this and various other activities is used to provide the annual athletic ban- quets. The themes for this years banquets were Hawaiian Holiday and Dutch Delight. These themes were carried out in the table settings, menus, and speakers. A speaker was chosen to represent each of the sports or activities present at the banquet. The hard work and planning involved for the Pep Club members is some- what alleviated by their chance to eat. These girls also generate extra pep to promote school spirit. Making posters, and presenting pep stunts were a few of the many projects car- ried out by this years' members. A new symbol of our athletic teams was presented to the student body by the members of Pep Club. He is Tommy Trojan. Through the efforts of the coaching staff and the girls, a pep assembly was prepared at which time Tommy Trojan was un- veiled and the Tommy Trojan Fight Song was sung by the Pep Club mem- bers. This group consists of five members from the freshman, sophomore, jun- ior, and senior classes. They are identified by their black skirts, white sweaters, and orange neck scarves. This years' officers were: Kathryn Keller, president: Ann Mayer, vice- president: Janice Cummings, secre- tary: and Rosemary Menke, treasurer. Faithful worms Bookworms are the Library Club members whose duties include pre- paring books for circulation, check- ing out and filing old magazines, shelving books, and collecting atten- dance slips. A bookworm does not work all the time, for the meetings held every other Wednesday after school always close with refresh- ments. Membership is limited and applications may be received from only sophomores, juniors, or seniors. Those selected for membership carry out the work of assisting the librar- ian. Characters' Cabaret, a play featur- ing book characters such as Hamlet, Lady Macbeth, Mother Goose, Sherlock Holmes, Mephistophe- les, Tarzan, and Becky Sharpe was presented to the school during Book Week. The junior and senior high faculty and principals of the grade schools were guests at the an- nual Book Week Tea that same week.

Playnights are an important part of Girls' Athletic Association activities. Rivalry between the various teams which are or- ganized sometimes grows quite intense as the contest becomes close. But sports- manship, an important goal of G.A.A. pre- vails throughout. To maintain membership in G.A.A., each girl must earn ten points a semester. This may be accomplished by participation in any sport - from horseback riding to dan- cing. Points vary according to the activ- ity and are awarded on an hourly basis. For instance, a girl might be a member of one of the bowling teams, or she might spend a few hours practicing dancing for the Levi Leap, the annual G.A.A. dance. If, at the end of the year, a girl has earn- en enough points, she may receive either a pin or a letter. G.A.A. offers the only opportunity for a Fairfield High School girl to earn an athletic letter. Top: K. Scarborough, president: J. Johnson, freshman-sophomore point chairman: C.

A hope- ful applicant is interviewed by the coach- es, approved by the actives, makes and de- signs his own paddle, and passes an exam- ination. He then undergoes a rigorous initiation after which he is recognizable by his black and white leather jacket with the hard-earned orange letter and further recognized by his sportsmanlike attitudes and co-operative spirit. After the initia- tion one letterman was heard to remark, Makin' a good paddle pays off in the end! The club is enthusiastically supported and is designed to confer the honor due for athletic achievement and to maintain a high standard of conduct and training in the athletic program.

Mougin Enthusiasm, loyalty, and sportsmanship, the three ingredients of school spirit, are materialized in our Cheerleaders. These busy girls not only cheer at all school sports events, they also plan our sparkling pep assemblies. Inventing new cheers is also one of their jobs. One of the most popular this year was the Trumpet Call for which the leader of the Pep Band play- ed the trumpet. Cheering at all the games entailed many out-of-town trips. On these excursions the Cheerleaders, along with the team, were outstanding represen- tatives of FHS. Upperclassmen choose varsity Cheerlead- ers and underclassmen choose the light- weight squad during special assemblies. The girls really strutted their stuff, after which five were chosen for each group. Practice, practice, practice followed until both were well co-ordinated units, which could work together as a team to provide the vital spark for victory. Highlights of the cheerleaders' year in- cluded the large part they played in the Homecoming Day activities, and the cheer- leader's banquet in April. Everyone went Dutch Treat , Cheerleaders and Pep Band members alike who were special guests. is Top: J. Curtis, M. Lisle, R. Manley, C. Manley not pictured, B.

Fairiie1d's representative, Connie Abbott who is district vice- president, took part in the installa- tion which was conducted by the local officers. The chapter president, Dorothy Fickel, who had attended National Convention in Chicago last summer helped give the convention report. .ei Outstanding programs of the year were a demonstration on Hower cen- terpieces and a talk on party foods for the Christmas holidays. Mem- bers were given the opportunity to participate in the programs by group discussions on family relations. Night meetings were on the social side, with fun and service being worked into the Christmas party this year by singing carols while deliver- ing cookies and candies to nursing homes of the community. A kitchen party for the F.F.A. boys was one of the highlights of National F.H.A. Week. Later in the week a tea was given in honor of the home economic majors in the county and the high school faculty. Displays at this event showed the purposes of F.H.A. and careers in home economics. ev .. Nb' 4, K Standing: Il. Hoskins, music: C. Laudon, Middle Left: Fall Centerpieces liistoriang S.

The FHS Camera Club provides both for students interested in photography. Members learn how to use various types of cameras: how to take the picturesg and then how to de- velop them. Developing was done in the dark room with chemicals and paper bought by the group and with club-owned equipment. Many people have no idea of the technical details involved in taking a perfect photo: angle, light, focus, and exposure time of the picture: determining what kind of Film to use: and then correctly developing the resuult. The shutter clickers learn all these neces- sary details besides getting real creative enjoyment from this interesting and in- formative hobby. Roman customs prevail Olficers: C. McCabe, M. Solheim, D. Yoder, J. Krano, A. Mayer, I.. Whitney ll Ancient Rome lives again in the Latin Club banquet each spring. The atmos- phere is created by the togas, sandals, jewelry ,and slaves: while the dinner itself completes the illusion. Only typical Ro- man food is served - no potatoes. since the tubers were not yet discovered in the days of the ancient empire. However, to arrive at this bountious feast, one must have studied at least one year of Latin. One year entitles the student to be a slave: two years of class work, a senator. Another highlight of the Latin year is the S.P.Q.R. initiation during which members are received and officers for the coming year installed. S.P.Q.R. helps remind us all of the important part Rome has played in our civilization. Drivers of the future Officers: J. Nelson, L. Thoma, J. Niece, B. Emmack Safety pays all ways, and Drive care- fully, the life you save may be your own, might well be the mottos of the Fairfield High School Drivers Club. The group co- ordinates with the Drivers Training class in helping teen-agers to become better drivers. However, a student is not requir- ed to take the course in order to become a member, any licensed student driver is eli- gible to join. Movies about motoring, spe- cial speakers - including a highway patrol- man - and discussions among the members, are some of the interesting items which make up the programs. One special topic for discussion was teen-age drivers rodeos. The club meets once a month in the aud- itorium. The highest honor for a student driver is to be chosen Driver of the Year. First, though, he must be chosen a Driver of the Week, and then Driver of the Month. From the latter group the top driver of the year is picked, he or she, is then presented with a small gold car as a trophy. Calling KCDBPR Mr. Leu, adviser and J. Walker Calling all students interested in becom- ing ham radio operatorsg the FHS Radio Club will help you realize this ambition. At meetings members discuss radios: how to build them, the principles of electri- city involved in understanding how they work, and how to send code. Club meet- ings are held in the shop's Radio Cor- ner twice a week. International Morse Code is studied by listening to tape recordings of the code in spare time at home. The Federal Com- munication Commission's rules and regu- lations for amateur radio operators are also assimilated. Some of the club mem- bers received their novice license permits from the F.C.C. this year after passing a test over principles and rules. The appli- cant must also prove himself able to send five words per minute. Two special projects of the club this year were buying a new tube tester, and re- modeling a car to become a traveling radio station that will be used on field trips - The Disaster Wagon. 31 The Quill Staff Presents Publications To you, students, faculty, and mem- bers of the community, this annual is presented. It is a product of hours of planning, photography, writing and organization. The now complete book would not have been recogniz- able a few short weeks ago when it was spread in many parts over the tables of the library. In the decisions that have been made and the work that has been done the staff has had its share of friction and much more than its share of fun and co-operation. It is with slight trepidation and great hope that this book is given. The hope that it will fulfill its purpose: to give to you the story of a year, of a school, and of people, the paths we have traveled in our beginning on the long road of life. Top Row: G. Duvall, K.

The contents of the paper covered sports events, activities of of the school's organizations, and assem- blies. Building of school spirit and sub- jects of current interest were featured in the editorials. Students expressed them- selves in the student opinion polls and the identity of mystery students kept them guessing. Bits of news and unusual hap- penings from individual classes were writ- ten in the Classroom Capers column. Senior Personalities was a new feature this year with each senior being inter- viewed. Art work was spread through out the pages illustrating the different ar- ticles. An appropriate drawing of a cur- rent event or holiday, such as homecoming queen, or a Christmas angel, was usually on the front page of each issue. Trojans Win: 65-63 was the headline of a special two page edition distributed to the student body February 4, 1957. This issue was devoted to the first conference basketball game victory in four years. The Penscratchers and their assignments were: Ila Mae Hemm, business, Marjorie Stewart, organizations, Terry Curtis, tra- ditionsg Myrna Solheim, sportsg Linda Whitney, dramaticsg Ann Mayer, music: and Janice Cummings, classes. These Pen- scratchers are members of the junior class and were elected to work and learn the business of the production of a high school annual. Top: Business Staff Bottom: Editorial Staff 33 i, EVENTS Sports The responsibility, honor, and the pres- tige of an organization is reflected by the actions of its leaders and its admin- istrative body. The Athletic Council is the executive synod of the Athletic Department. In attaining the unwrit- ten goals of all important societies: greater results through better partici- pationg and the higher ideals by quality and not quantity of members, the Coun- cil strives to promote the betterment of athletics. It is composed of three permanent mem- bers elected by each of their respective classes: Gale Burk, senior, Nick Staves, junior: and Larry Davisson, sophomore. Larry Swanson, by virtue of his office as vice-president of the student body, is chairman. Other members included representatives of the squads of the sports in season: Bob McNew, Joe Chezum, Larry Babcock, Roger Schock, john Samuelson, and Coach Westering, faculty adviser. This group, in its first year of organiza- tion, is, and will remain, a strong link in the chain of progress in athletics at Fairfield High School. Griclsters battle l I Front Row: J. Johnson, L.

McNew, L. Crew Late-season fire Now that pigskin has to he in there someplace A fiery and determined squad of Trojans, decked out in new suits of white and black, took the field for the first time this year at Cedar Rapids, McKinley. During the opening half the first-game jitters were very evident as neither team was able to penetrate the goal line. Midway in the second half McKinley sprung a boy loose lfultmi throws Keokuk for a loss H for a touchdown run of sixty yards. The final score was 7-0 in favor of McKinley. The second outing was at home against the boys from the hills of Ottumwa. The Trojans took the opening kickoff and punched first and tens through the defense for an eighty yard touchdown jaunt. After recovering a fumble on Fairfield's four yard line the Bulldogs tied the score for the First half. Both teams came back with fire in their eyes but neither could advance to the goal line until the fourth quarter when Ottumwa exploded for two touch- downs. Even though the final score was 19-6 the Trojans led every statistical de- partment for a great moral victory. The Keokuk Chiefs, with a hard hitting offense took advantage of defensive lapses to take a resounding victory. Keokuk controlled the ball as if they owned it and rolled up a third quarter score of 33-0 be- fore Burk and Fulton enabled Fairfield to score. The game ended in a sad tale of 35-6. Traveling to the river city of Muscatine, the Trojans again were forced to taste defeat. With their tall end leading the way by his miraculous catching of passes the Muskies were able to take a 20-7 vic- tory. produces wins The next week the Men of Troy encoun- tered the fast Mt. Pleasant squad which literally ran over the hapless Trojans. Joel Johnson was the only bright spot as he came through with some Fine pass catching, but it was not enough as the score was 32-0. Homecoming will long be remembered by the senior squad members as the front-running team of Ft. Madison had its fire put out. Balderson drew first blood with the help of a tremendous blocking lane to go on an 80 yard touch- down jaunt. The Bloodhounds came back to tie the score at seven all at half time. The Men of Troy were not to be denied the game and with everyone go- ing all-out and with McNew and Bald- erson scoring touchdowns the Trojans pranced off the Held with a 20-7 victory. With the exception of one half, the game ignited a spark which carried on to the end of the season. After the resounding Homecoming victory the Trojans traveled to Washington for a game that was considered a toss-up. Burk and McNew combined on two pass pat- terns to put Fairfield ahead by 12-0 the First half. Balderson added an insurance touchdown in the third quarter for a final score of 19-0 in a loosely played game. Martin + Chczum 11 Stone Wall For the final game of the year the Trojans were up against one of the finest teams in the State, the Burlington Greyhounds. Krane put Fairheld ahead after intercep- ting a pass but the Little Six Champs came right back to tie the score. The score after an even-stephen first half was a rousing 6-6 tie. Mann took personal charge to score the second touchdown and the Tro- jans were downed by only one point. Lim--play is vicious 39 Sophomore season good Row 1: H. Wisecarvcr, L. Hanshaw, J. Leazer, J.

In a contest at home the Tro- jans dropped a 51-49 heartbreaker to Wash- ington and the following week were also on the losing end of a 53-51 score at Ot- tumwa.

The diamond-blazers of FHS, under the direction of Merlie Rostermundt and Bob Liddy, started the season in a resounding way by walking over Ft. Madison. With classy pitching from Larry Satch Swan- son and the power hitting of Dick Bab- cock the Trojans overpowered the Blood- hounds by a score of 6-1. The score was 1-0 in the fourth inning when Babcock started an individual rampage by cracking a home run with two on. Freeman walked to start the sixth and Babcock exploded again with a high, deep drive to right cen- ter which resulted in two more runs. The Fairfielders had Jim Keltner on the mound to face their next foe, Mt. Pleas- ant. In the second, with one on, Gale Burk connected with a triple for the l-irst run. With two men on in the sixth, suc- cessive singles by Millard Morgan and Burk tallied two insurance runs. Keltner fanned nine batters while seven Trojans went by the strike-out route. The Men of Troy split a double-header with the Burlington Greyhounds. In the first game Fairfield's big gun, Swanson, was on the mound. The game was marred by many errors which seemed to rattle him. He issued walks in vital places and failed to add this game to his credit. --.E In two games with the Iowa City Little Hawks, again the team failed to back Swanson although he struck out eight and allowed only six scattered hits. The Iowa City hurler allowed only three hits and fanned thirteen Trojans to win 'the game 7-3. Keltner pitched the second game and and allowed only three hits. He was going Hne until his teammates began booting the ball to the tune of eight errors. The game ended with the score 11-1 with Burk and Don Swan combining for the only Fair- field run. For the final conference game Fairfield traveled to Muscatine and for the first three innings it looked as though the trip was going to be successful. The first in- ning produced three runs on a combination of walks and errors. Swanson was doing a commendable job of pitching until sud- denly in the fourth inning Muscatine ex- ploded for seven runs. The Muscatine picher was wild but he allowed only one safety by Bob McNew. Even in losing, the Trojans put up a good fight to the future State champions of summer baseball. In the district meet Eldon stifled a Fairfield rally in the sixth for an 8-6 victory. Due to walks issued by Keltner and Swanson, Eldon was able to gain on only four safeties.

This year's team is strong in the running events but weak in the Held events. Doug Balderson, a sprinter, and Morris Hilleary, distance man, are being counted on heavily for points.

In the state indoor meet the 880 yard relay team composed of Balderson, Mann, Wil- son and Burk copped a fifth place ribbon in the stififest of competition. Under the guidance of Coach Lee Crew, former star athlete for FHS, the team is surely going to be in top condition as the famous saying is run run and then keep jogging boys ! ! Fairfield will be hosts to their own relays for the first time in many years, as the Trojan Relays will be initiated April 30.

The Trojan grapp- lers looked very impressive during the sea- son and collected a second place finish in the Little Six Conference Meet. In the first outing of the year the wrest- lers traveled to Ottumwa and had to settle for a depressing 20-19 defeat. The match could have gone either way but due to a referee's decision Fairfield came up on the short end. The next meeting between the two schools was played to a different tune as the Trojans posted a 27-13 victory. The Fairfield matmen claimed seven of the eleven matches and one ended in a draw. fortitude and knowledge The two matches against Burlington were won easily by the Trojans. In the first match Fairfield romped by the Grey- hounds as the final score was 34-9. Coach Smith had high praise for all of his wrest- lers as Burlington was able to gain only one pin and a draw. At Burlington the Greyhounds were greatly demoralized as the Men of Troy poured it on. The final score, 31-8, was in favor of FHS. It seems as though the wrestlers got home- sick when on the road as in two cases they lost to the opponents away, and at home ran over them. At Muscatine Fairfield couldn't seem to get going in the lighter weights and the heavier wrestlers were not able to make up the deficit. The score in the end was 29-17. At home the story was told differently as the Trojans reversed the score minus one, 29-16. Again the lighter wrestlers were unable to hold their own but as the weight went up our score did the same. In the Little Six Conference meet which determined the top flight wrestlers in the conference, Fairfield gained 5 champion- ships, one second place, 3 third place rank- ings for a second place total of 76 points. Carrying the colors for FHS were: joe Chezum, Nick Staves, Paul Ferrel, John Samuelson, Dave Prince, Paul Teeter, Al- len Chezum, Gary Bonnett and Harold Mann. In meets out of the Conference Fairfield broke even with a 2-2 record. The Trojans lost a close decision to Grinnell by a score of 22-18. Showing blue ribbon form the squad took a 31-12 decision from the Iowa City Little Hawks. Fairfield took seven of the eleven matches and two ended in draws. The Fairfield wrestling team brought the curtain down in fine fashion by dumping Roosevelt of Des Moines 30-8. Three mainstay seniors will be lost via graduation, but many fine underclassmen, such as Wayne Diers, Larry Messer, Dale Jeffrey, Richard Olson, Dick Nicola, Ken Rizor, and Jerry Chezum will move in to fill the slots left vacant.

Intramurals : Cooperation Excitement, friendship, and a fundamental knowledge of each sport are the achieve- ments of intramural activities. Here and there the competitive spirit rises and tem- pers flare, but in the end everyone has in- creased his friendship. Most intramurals are played on a male-female separation basis, but occasionally the girls venture to compete with the male gender, often to the regret of the latter. This year the trampoline has come into prominence as both girls and boys have gained an intense interest. Combinations of flips are most common to either sex. The tramp has pro- duced coordination, skill, and a sense of satisfaction that can be attained only by self-accomplishment. Names which were bestowed upon basket- ball, volleyball, and other groups were Eight Balls, Apes, Gorillas, Terry's Ter- mites and the Whirlwinds. These names signify the great amount of enthusiasm displayed in the partaking of noon-hour athletics. Maybe not realizing it at the time, intra- murals proved beneficial as well as enjoy- able to everyone participating. 51 W Music .., 'E J . XF.. X If 1 'X '..

These musicians may participate in the universal language through study of vocal or instrumental com- positions: which unfold to those who perceive the true meaning and beauty of this inspiring art. Specialization in s m all groups or solo numbers re- ward those w h o express their predilection and abil- ity to advance. These par- ticipants seek excellence in breath control, tone qual- ity, pitch, true harmony and the very important qualities of self-confidence and poise. The goal of per- fection may be achieved on- ly through sincere efforts in hours of practice: the re- sults being rewarding to those who achieve personal satisfaction. Band steps to rhythm Fanfare and forward march signals start the Fairfield High marching band into their unique routines and snappy marches. This colorful group, in their traditional orange and black uniforms, provides entertainment during the half- times of football games. At Homecoming the band formed a heart and played Let Me Call You Sweetheart, as the candi- dates for Homecoming Queen were intro- duced on the field. Droodles were clev- erly performed for the spectators at the Burlington game featuring a snake going upstairs, three blind mice , a bubble- gum blower, and a trombone in a tele- phone booth. Fast stepping to the march Indent , di- minished and increased fronts, and a unique horse formation were among the many maneuvers executed by this organi- zation. The marching band competed for honors in the state contest at Mt. Pleas- ant last fall and received a division two rating. BATON TWIRLERS constitute an inte- gral part of the band. Not only do these girls lead the band through special rou- tines, but they also provide half-time en- tertainment during basketball games. The contest season adds many honors for their baton and flag twirling abilities. State contest Division I ratings were received by Jean johnson, baton solo, Justine Stewart, Hag twirling: and Virginia Lang- ner, bell lyre solog Sharon Messer received a II rating in flag twirling. Besides their routines, the baton twirlers act as usherettes at band concerts, and promote other band activities. S Messer, J. Johnson, C. Noller, P. Wisecarver, M. Jenks, A. Carl, M. Fickel, K.

Three regular practices a week and a fourth special group rehearsal helps to polish the sections featured at the two public concerts. Additional practice is also required of each individual to advance in his section when challenged. The first concert was given January 20 featuring a variety of selections. An en- thusiastic march The Nutmeggersn open- ed the concert and was followed by a new version of the old favorite Swing Low, Sweet Chariot . Annie Laurie A La Mo- derne and Westerners Overture dis- played modern chords by all sections. Ex- erpts from the Broadway musical Okla- homa proved to be a favorite with the audience, along with Gay Nineties and 54 Dancing Reeds . The latter featured the junior high clarinet trio. Eager flute and percussion players showed their abilities in Hoop1a and the novelty Sandpaper Ballet . A specialty Quartet No. 2 was presented by the sax quartet composed of Dick Robinson, Janice Cummings, Ann Montgomery, and Judy Schock. A well received concert was closed with the fam- ous Crosley March . Seniors of '57 were featured in solos and ensembles at the last concert April 7.

This group is comprised of energetic lads under the leadership of Gary Lundberg. They helped to originate our noise cheer in which a sharp trumpet call is followed by special noise from the student body. A variety of new music was played by the band this year in a fast style. including such songs as Mother Goose jumps, When the Saints Go Marching In, Hound Dog, and Blues On Parade. This Pep Band also accompanies the Fairfield High's Fzincly sales increase funds 56 school song and again aids the cheerlead- ers with the favorite cheer song, Let's Win This Game . Their enthusiasm helped to improve school spirit at our pep assem- blies which carried over to the games in the evening. They served as background rhythm at our special victory assembly in which Coach Westering surprised the student body by displaying his talents on the drums. For Homecoming the Pep Band led the parade to Central Park in a truck where they provided the music for our special Homecoming pep meeting. BAND EARNS MONEY Active band members turn their attention from music to money earning projects. Their financial goal if reached may pro- vide a trip for the whole band to some fu- ture destination. In preparation for such a plan the band attended the Pella Tulip Festival this spring and gained the needed experience by participating in such fes- tivities. Several previous trips. such as to Atlantic City, New jersey, and Chicago, Illinois have prompted the present mem- bers to strive for equal opportunities. The band's major money earning projects this year were personalized candy bars, con- cessions at basketball tournaments. and the sale of tickets to two winter concerts. Practice brings results D.

Copeland MADRIGAL- Talented vocalists comprise the Madrigal singers of Fairfield High School. Their many appearances keep them always ac- tive. Hard work at practices reimbursed the singers as their performances were all well received. A worthwhile experience for all the singers was their television ap- pearance on station KTVO on December 20. The twenty minute program was pre- sented around a table in traditional 16th century English madrigal style. Many of the songs were Christmas carols such as The Twelve Days of Christmas. This number was made even more attractive by the depiction of the symbols of the twelve days of Christmas which were artistically constructed by Marion Nichols. Many other programs were given by Madrigal including parts of concerts given by the Choir. At the Tallcorn Music Conference, held on March first and second at Cedar Falls, Madrigal sang three delightful numbers, April Is In My Mistress' Face , My Heart Doth Beg You'll Not Forget , and In These Delightful Pleasant Groves. These songs were also featured at a Choir program given l at Fairfield High School for the public and the student body. A musicale at the Fairfield Country Club was highlighted by a per- formance given by Madrigal in which members of the group served as narrators. They also gave a small part of the history of the Madrigal and a background of the songs as they were presented. ORGANISTS- Entertainment is provided by these organ- ists before programs and between acts of performances by the Music Department.

Robinson, The ambition of all vocal music students is to be a member of a Cappella Choir. All other groups of this department serve as a preparation for the membership in this outstanding organization. Much time, ef- fort, and hard work was put forth by both the students and choral director to per- fect the techniques of tone and breath con- trol, in preparation for many programs and productions. On February 28 the Choir left for Cedar Falls, Iowa, where they had been invited to participate in the Tall Corn Conference the next day. There they presented a for- ty minute concert before music teachers and students including a Randall Thomp- son spectacular, The Last Words of Da- vid , Handel's Hallelujah Amen , and the old favorite Elijah Rock. In addition to the Choir. the Madrigal singers presen- ted three typical 16th century madrigal selections and excerpts from Weil1's 18 1 strive for perfection lion' I: T. l'aug'hlan, IJ. Bekol, H.

Night rehearsals, special group training, and hard work characterized the Choir's preparation for this performance, as well as other vocal productions given this year. Not all of the work of the Choir is done as a group since the various members par- ticipate as individuals in contest. State contest results proved their abilities by division I ratings for the following stu- dents: Sandra Winter. treble voice med- ium: Kathleen Maas. treble voice medium: Kay Lisk. treble voice medium: and Gary Duvall, tenor solo. In the special divi- sion of student conducting both Sandra Winter and Gary Duvall received I ratings. The Madrigal singers and dou- ble mixed quartet also received the cov- eted I. ccompanists: S.

The Mixed Chorus, Freshman Chorus, and Girls' Glee Club, as well as many small groups and the a Cappella Choir, contributed to make the program a big success. The opening, Mu- sic of the Nations , was presented by the four mixed choruses of the Music Depart- ment. Some of the symbols of Christmas Were carried out in songs by the three girls' sextets, double mixed quartet, and the Madrigal singers. The high-light of the evening was the a Cappella Choir's presentation of the Christmas story, The Nativity . The Choir sang many Christ- mas songs and carols-old and new. Gary Duvall and Kathleen Maas were feature soloists singing Jesus, jesus Rest Your Head and I Wonder as I Wander. The narrators for the Christmas story were Carol Sherman and Ralph Mawdsley. The Nativity was made even more effec- tive by the new lighting system in the auditorium. Blue lights were used on the huge Christmas tree which appeared on the stage. The tree was set off by a beau- tiful star at the top which shone brightly above the singers. At the end of the pro- gram the lights on the tree dimmed and then vanished so that only the star was still seen. The curtain then closed on an evening of inspiration which left many with thoughts of the true meaning of Christmas. First Girls' Sextt-t Varieties of '57 The Vocal Music Department's year was climaxed by a highly entertaining variety show. The performance was divided into three main divisions of which the first was Kurt Weill's tragic operetta Down in the Valley . This outstanding one act portrayed the love of Brack Weaver and Jennie Parsons which was severed when Brack killed another admirer of Jennie, Thomas Bouche. Character parts were: Brack Weaver, Gary Duvall: Jennie Par- sons, Sandra Winter: Thomas Bouche, Gene Copeland: The Leader, Danny Long: The Preacher, Tom Whitaker: and Carol Sherman as accompanist. The second highlight was the Calypso Club presented in true night club fashion with Gary Lundberg acting as master of ceremonies. A male ballet troupe pre- sented The Waltz of the Wall Flowers followed by the Girls Glee Club's panto- mime of Tops in Tunes . The audience especially enjoyed The Tragedy of Little Nell presented by Tom Goltry, John Krane, Danny Long, and Harold Mann. A grand finale featured the entire Choir commemorating a famous composer of light opera in A Tribute to Romberg . Solos featured Kathleen Maas and Larry Swanson and dancers Joanne Smithburg and Jim Hoover. Girl's Sextot as Bolahettes 'lop Opela leads Caly md Sandv Dramatics The auditorium lights blink, the aud- ience quiets expectantly, while on the other side of the blue velvet curtain revolves another world. The actors move about into their places. a sound effects man nervously checks his cues, the responsibility-laden stage manager calls to the light man, Ready? , then Curtain! And the drama unfolds: another world is op- ened, another story is told, to an aud- ience, sensitive to the feeling of the play whether it be comedy, farce, fan- tasy, melodrama or tragedy. Following a production through the make-up crew, whose work is done at the rise of the curtain, to the clean-up crew, who stay after the curtain has fallen, is a training and an experience. Performing before an audience in a play, delivering an interpretative reading or a declamation, presenting a radio speech, debate or an original oration are some of the best aids in developing confidence, poise and clarity in thinking. The Dramatics Department of Fair- field High School tries to give train- ing and practice in self-expression and in interpretation of other men's words: irrevocable parts of every- day living. Spotlight on s each students On December 11th, characters created by Charles Dickens came to life when the Thespians presented A Christmas Carol for the fourth annual Speech Night. The traditional classic, under the direction of Mrs. Williams, was well re- ceived. Following the play, the Fairfield High School debaters held a panel discussion on, What Should Be the Policy of the Federal Government in Regard to Agricultural Surplus? I Speak for Democracy! Gordan Ramey, winner in the school-wide contest, ably presented his views in a speech stressing opportunities in modern America. Interpretative reading, a phase of actual contest work, was represented by a selection entitled, The Inn that Missed It's Chance, delivered by Judy DeHaan. A choral reading group, under the direction of Mrs. Wil- liams, presented the well known selection, I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day by Longfellow with organ accom- paniment. Luke 2:8-14 was chosen for the final selection a fitting closing for Speech Night, and an appropriate op- ening for the Christmas season.

Cathleen Peck, Kathleen Maas, fudy Robinson On the nights of November 16th and 17th, the Fairfield High School auditorium was the scene of the Junior Class play - Heaven Can Wait! The basic plot of this play alternated between heaven and earth in a series of humorous situations. What to do with a pugalistic saxophonist. whose soul is collected sixty years too early by a tender hearted heavenly messen- ger, is the question. This perplexing prob- lem is solved by the authorities in heaven who place his soul in the body of a recent- ly murdered millionaire. This certain prizefighter is convinced that he will be the next heavyweight champion of the world. In order to help a sweet young thing out of difficulty he agrees to put up with the millionaire's poor phy- sique even though it's not in the pink. Through many trying situations the soul of the fighter triumphsg he saves the hero- ine's father, builds up the millionaire's body, and plans to enter the ring again. On the night of the big fight, the million- aire is once again murdered. The Hghter's oft transmigrated spirit was persuaded to enter the body of his opponent, who was shot when he failed to throw the light. Our hero wins the girl, gets a suitable body, and a heavenly peace returns to the Fairfield High School auditorium. 7. it 1.

Possibly the meaning lies in Santa Claus and a Christ- mas dinner? The Fairfield High School sophomores presented a one-act play, Song of Glory, to the student body in an attempt to clar- ify the true meaning of Christmas. Glory The play emphasized the fallacy of the yuletide emphasis on the superficial sym- bols of Christmas: the tree, the carols, the food, and Santa. While these are all an important part of the season the symbol and truth of Christmas is the birth of Je- sus Christ as was so clearly shown by the play. Everyone in the audience undoub- tedly heard the Song of Glory. CAST Angel . ,Connie Abbott Caddie ....v...,e ea..,r. B etty Harper Alison Drew .,,., ,,,,,..

A debate team consists of two members, either affirma- tive or negative. Each team tries to pre- sent their side of the question while tear- ing down the other team's argument. The members of the Fairfield affirmative team were Jeff Lamson and Gordon Ram- ey. Those debating for the negative were Ralph Mawdsley and David McCracken. Many, many hours go into the preparation of a debate issue. The question for debate was selected at the first of the year by the National Forensic League. The issue this year was Resolved: That the Federal Gov- ernment should sustain the prices of ma- jor agricultural products at not less than 90W of parity. Our debate team participated in eight rounds of debate at the District Speech 456 Contest of the Iowa High School Speech Association at Mt. Pleasant. Debating against veteran debators, our team came within one point of an excellent rating. R. Mawdsley, D. McCracken, G. Ramey, J.

This year's selection was Father of the Bride by Caroline Francke. An approaching wedding appears in a dif- ferent light to the various members of the family. The bride is all aglow with an- ticipation of a small but perfect wed- ding, while the groom dreads to be viewed by all those people . Mom and Dad also have different outlooks. Mother plans and plans in an effort to make her daughter's dream come true, but Father sees only fi- nancial and mental ruin. In the argument over the invitations to the wedding, the groom becomes very angry and walks out. His leave taking is violent but he returns humbly when he finds that his own mother has planned to invite near- ly twice as many as he wanted. All the differences are erased and off to the wedding. The organ plays Here Comes the Bride, but Csoblb there goes our little girl. Act well your part . . . for there all the honor lies Thespian Society is a national organiza- tion designed to honor those who have participated in high school dramatic work. Membership is gained by earning ten points, with each point representing ten hours of work. Many of the dramatic events of the year are under Thespian sponsorship. Speech Night, plays and contest work are exam- ples of their activity. In addition to these events, the society also works to encour- age students to participate in speech work of any form. On the 21st of March they held an initia- tion before the student body with new members admitted to the fun and work of this society. K. Keller, secretaryg R. Lane, publicityg K.

Smith, historian G7 Contest gives opportunity Again this spring as usual an eager group of individuals reported for the six events of contest speech work. Among the areas of the contest are humor- ous and dramatic selections in the field of declamation. Marjorie Stewart, Larry Morrow, and Barbara Smithburg were in- terested and successful in dramatic de- clam, while Carl Willey, Sue Horton, and Carolyn Noller took part in humorous de- clamation. Interpretative reading a very practical form of speech work was presen- ted by Judy DeHaan, Christy Russell and Vernanne Roberts. One of the more ad- vanced forms of speech work is radio speaking. Gary Duvall and David Day tackled with success this difficult job and ranked high in rating. Ralph Mawdsley represented Fairfield High School in the field of extemporaneous speaking and David McCracken participated in original oratory. The original group was considerably thin- ned out after the preliminary contest. These pupils attended State Speech Con- test, March 30, where Judy DeHaan and Christy Russell received excellent ratings while our radio speaker, Gary Duvall, was awarded a superior. lop: Humorous mleclamation C.

Smithlvurg' Competition develops talent Forty years ago, james Barrie wrote the one-act play The Old Lady Shows Her Medals, one of the most popular ever written. Fairfield students chose this play for their entry in the '57 one-act play com- petition. An old lady who has no relatives and de- sires a son to place her on an equal social standing with her friends, is the situation on which the plot is built. If you have no son, how do you acquire one? Possibly the easiest way is to pre- tend. Mrs. Dowey not only pretended, but she went so far as to send letters and presents to her son who was a member of the Black Watch battalion. All goes well in the deception until who should appear in person but Kenneth Dowey, the fictitious son. Kenneth is understandingly perturbed at the liberties Mrs. Dowey has taken with his name, but her kindly nature and atten- tion wins him over. Kenneth convenient- ly has no relatives either, so finally, he allows Mrs. Dowey to consider him her son in fact as well as fiction. In the third scene Kenneth is killed and as the play closes Mrs. Dowey is left alone with his medals and her memories. The cast of the play took superior ratings in the preliminary and sub-district contests, and received an excellent in the district.

Over a period of time our Fair- field High School has acquired numer- ous traditions from repeated actions and events in which alumni and stu- dents alike have participated. The feeling of respect for our building and equipment, annual banquets honor- ing our athletes, the more recent cus- tom of Homecoming, the practice of our parents attending Open House, conven- tional and special dances, clean up of our campus in the spring - all have become traditional by repetition. By working together through group ac- tivities and reaching for perfection, permanent and constructive traditions of our school have been formed. But perhaps the greatest of all our tradi- tions is the feeling of unity among the school, the teacher, and the student. Parents become students Parents came from far and near to Fair- field High School on the night of Novem- ber 13, 1956, to become students again for a few hours as they followed their child- ren's busy schedule through the school day. This practice, begun a few years ago, is an event looked forward to each year by many parents for it gives them a better understanding of the school pro- gram and increases the parent-teacher re- latioinship. First on the agenda for the evening was the assembling of parents and teachers in the school auditorium for a brief welcom- ing message from the President of the stu- dent body, Miss Darla Yoder. Principal Charles C. Joss then introduced the facul- ty members, telling what subjects each taught and the activities which each of them sponsored. After the school board ing them how he was presenting the ma- terial and what was expected of the stu- dent. Then the class was opened for ques- tions and discussion. In this way the par- ents could share their questions and views about the subject with the others present and everyone could benefit from it. After a busy night of school everyone was invited to the school lunch room for a social evening with refreshments of cof- fee and cookies. The strenuous day was finally over and it was felt that both par- ents and teachers profited by the program. was presented the meeting was dismissed and each parent went to the home room of his child where he obtained the stu- dent's schedule. As soon as the parents left their child's home room the confusion began. Frus- trated students asked the assistance of Student Council members in directing them to various rooms. Many other times during the evening the Council guides were summoned to give information to the bewildered parents. In each classroom the teacher in charge explained his subject to the parents, tell- fa - , Va 'L Mrs. Ruby instructs Ul'l'l0ll'u Top: Parc-nts ask clirections of guide Bottom: General meeting' in aurlitorium 71 Homecoming spotlights Top: Window painting Middle: Snake dzmce forms Bottom left: Central Park pep meetin liotlom right: Honieconiing dance mtv- y , ,ai ' 5 From the swish of a paint brush to the jeweled crown of the queen, excitment and anticipation of Homecoming reign su- preme. The first thrill of the evening came when the Fairfield Trojans upset the highly touted Ft. Madison Blood- hounds. The foundation for this victory was laid days in advance by the determina- tion of the team and student body. A huge pep rally held in the stadium Thurs- day evening gave the team added incen- tive. Senior squad members playing their last Homecoming game were introduced amid roars of the crowd. Those who dec- orated their cars showed them off in front of the stands. Everyone then grabbed a brush and bucket and proceeded to paint the town. Friday morning was probably the most gruelling of the year. Soon everyone was buzzing with anticipation of the activities of the afternoon pep assembly. Terry Hoage, a Fairfield star of years gone by, was the featured speaker. Next, a snake dance wound through the business district with queen candidates in convertibles leading the way. The cheerleaders led several cheers from the bandstand in Cen- tral Park. The most excited of all stu- dents then went home for a short rest. With the clash of the cymbol the big night was at last under way as Fairfield kicked off to Ft. Madison. The Trojans fought to a 7-7 deadlock at the end of the First half. While the band formed a heart and played Let Me Call You Sweetheart, the alumni and court lovely queen candidates were introduced to the crowd. As loyal alumni and Fair- field fans cheered, the Trojans gained re- newed vigor in the second half and march- ed on to a stirring victory. After such a wonderful victory everyone was ready to enjoy the big Homecoming dance. Everything was decorated per- fectly with the theme of Shine on Har- vest Moon being carried out in every de- tail. These decorations were planned and supervised by the Student Council. There was curiosity in the air as everyone won- dered, Who will be the queen? The queen candidates and their escorts were introduced and then the big moment came as Coach Westering walked to Kathryn Keller and crowned her Homecoming Queen of 1956. After the crowning many people joined the queen and her escort in the grand march. Queen Kathryn reigned over the remainder of Homecoming which had been filled with many delightful and unforgetable experiences. 7 Coach Westering' crowns Kathryn Keller queen ll0llll'll'0MlNG l'0l'R'l': L.

These dances were one of the most popular means of entertainment and recreation for the Fairfield students. One of the highlight dances this year was the Sweetheart Dance sponsored by the QUILL staff. This dance was a long awaited event for the candidates for King and Queen of Hearts who were chosen several weeks in advance by their classes. The final selection of the King was made by members of a sorority and of the Queen by members of a fraternity at Iowa University. The dance was held in the boys' gym and music was furnished by the Rhythm Kings. The center of the decorations was a huge mural of the King and Queen of Hearts. The season of special dances came to a close with the first annual Letterman's Hop on May 4. This dance was held in the boys' gym in true night club style. Tables were reserved ahead of time and joel Johnson acted as official disc jockey. Door- prizes were given to the winning couple of a mu- sical chairs game. It is hoped that the Letter- Queen and King of Hearn man's Hop will become one of our annual tra- P. xvinfl-oy, cs. Bm-it ditions. Many successful dances were held during dance was free but there was one catch- the year by various organizations to earn you paid to check your shoes. All these money. The Student Council sponsored dances, and many others, proved to be their annual Soc Hop from which the pro- popular and entertaining for all. ceeds went to the March of Dimes. The l'li0a-king shoes at Soc Hop Refreshments served at Futura Ball T-1 Juniors entertain senior royalty Preparations for the big night The juniors invited the seniors, faculty, and school board members to enter and enjoy their private Cavern of Dreams on Friday evening, May 24. Genial president of the class, Joe Chezum, acted as guide to the many passageways of the Cavern. As we entered the beau- tiful cavern juniors whispered to seniors, A dream comes true to you . Guide Joe led us deeper into this mysterious realm made beautiful with stalactities and sta- lagmites. Soon we could hear Echoes from the Cavern , as seniors were reply- ing to this here-to-fore unseen beauty. Guide Joe then led us to the lovely Fan- tasy Formations . The seniors were awed at these formations made by the slow pas- sage of time. Ever deeper into the cavern we explored, never knowing what lay just ahead. As we passed the reflecting pool we could see our Reflections in the Pool . On and on we explored the long and oft treacher- ous passageway. Too soon we saw the exit, our Passageway to the Future . How we wanted to linger in our Cavern of Dreams but time permitted us to stay no longer. Programs and decorations carried out the very proper theme. Speakers included Ila Mae Hemm, Janice Smith, Miss Norma Johnson, Terry Curtis, John Krane and Mr. Charles C. Joss. We danced until midnight to the dreamy music of The Aristocrats . Then starry-eyed we left for home after an enjoyable evening. 75 ssemblies promote interest Among the many activities in Fairfield High School, assemblies have played an important part. Due to the fact that FHS has been in a long losing streak, assem- blies to celebrate our victories as well as to encourage and promote school spirit have become a tradition. Clever stunts by Pep Club members, rousing speeches by alumni, and antics of the faculty helped in reaching our goal - victory! On the eventful night of February 1, 1957, the Mt. Pleasant Panthers went down in defeat at the hands of the Fairfield Tro- jans by a score of 65-63. After three and one-half long years victory was ours, and, as the faculty had promised, an assembly to end all assemblies was given to the stu- dent body. Teachers became cheerleaders, band members, and students, as they drift- ed back to the good old days. With the able assistance of Mr. Hoerner and his plunger the band played on while paper- wads and airplanes flew through the air. The 5B64,000 Question was reproduced by Pep Club girls, complete with the air-con- ditioned booth, M.C., contestant, and the all-important question, Who is going to win tonight? At another time baby pic- tures of our star athletes were confiscated from willing parents and flashed across the screen for students to guess who the little fellows were. Much hard work and time was put into our assemblies, but through them school spirit was kept alive and the Trojans were driven on to victory.

The Girls' Pep Club sponsored two of the out- standing banquets of the year. The annual fall one to honor the athletes who had participated in football and baseball, transported the guests to a Havorful Hawaiian atmosphere. The male members of the faculty and the school board also enjoyed the many , humorous speeches which made the l program interesting with Coach Wes- l tering acting as master of ceremonies. Come spring and a Holland April was represented on the banquet schedule. This time the honored athletes were those who had taken part in basketball, wrestling, track, and golf. There were a few added guests: the women faculty and wives of the members of the school board and men faculty were invited along with the Cheer- leaders, the Pep Band, and the Financial Managers. Mrs. Westering, acting as mis- Banquets honor athletic teams tress of ceremonies, added much life to the program. The closing feature of all athletic banquets is the presentation of letters and emblems to those students who have earned them. These banquets strive to give recognition not only to the athlete but also to all people who had a part in making our athletic program a success. Spring campus cleaning Students exert effort for clean-up In the spring a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of getting out of school for clean-up day. With rakes, baskets, and carts in hand, the students ventured forth to the distant corners of the school grounds. The annual clean-up day was planned by the Student Council and each advisory group was assigned a designated area of the campus to clean. School was dismissed in the afternoon and everyone began work at a fast tempo. Those who lagged behind or stopped were soon goad- ed into increased usefulness by the other members of their group. A few of the boys gave the posts around the school a new coat of white paint. Everyone was eager to finish their jobs because of the anticipated recreation and entertainment that followed, but they knew that a thorough job must be done first. After the work was finished the neat and clean ap- pearance of our school was viewed with admiration. 77 I , - . 1 1 k H 5 :f i 4- . as I 2 I . , 5 s ' + 7 3 V, lg A f Q 5 4 4 A tg , ,I Q. f . ix H ply' fm fr: 9 ' N- 'v 1-, ':'Q,LJ '. i I' A'. f f 'fy' + xf? , x f 4 1 X1 PECPLE Til I Cooperation promotes May we, the members of the 1957 QUILL staff, take this opportunity to say a hearty thank-you to Mr. p S.

Since this is his first year as superintendent, we appreciate the great amount of time and thought V, he has given to the supervision of our school system. . .r...

We are grate- ful to him for the advice which he has given us and the help in solving our problems. It has been a privilege to have been a part of the school under his administration and We wish for him much suc- cess in the future. SCHOOL BOARD Many problems arise in a city's education- al system. Our school board had to cope with all kinds and has done a commendable job. Such things as hiring members of the faculty, supervising the care of school grounds and buildings, and making final Superintendent S. Warner Kirlin decisions on what textbooks and materials to use, all come into a school board mem- ber's role. A very necessary and indis- pensable link is formed between the com- munity and the schools by this elected group of men. Seated: Tom Nollerg R. C.

Your class is an excellent one as indicated by the high caliber of schol- astic attainment and by your many varied ac- tivities. May the best of everything come your way - especially much success and happiness. To the underclassmen, next year's sophomores, juniors, and seniors-be more aware that you are making footprints in casts of cement, that you will be following in the next few years. Be aware that the record you are making now is a part of your permanent record for life. Your four years in high school should not be con- cerned with the academic only. The prospec- tive employer is interested in the over-all pic- ture of good grades and activities over a four year period in high school. He is interested in your ability to get along with those with whom you must work. He is interested in the leader- ship potential you demonstrated as a student, and your regularity of attendance. If you do the very best you are capable of in your academ- ic work and activities, your very best will be good enough. Make your high school record count! CQ' CQ I A. Hatley A. Brenneman M.

Keeping order, remembering at which house to stop, and joustling over muddy roads are a few of the things that a bus driver must do.

Here comes the roaring crowd for lunch! May I borrow the salt? This is a common question heard by the cooks each day or maybe May I have two sandwiches please? would be a more common one. These women spend a lot of time planning and preparing meals for about 425 people each school day. They deserve a big thanks from all the stu- dents, faculty and school officials for the fine job they have done this year. Front: M. Lawson, D. Mosinski, M. Crawford, B. No1'th, E. Adkins, C.

Sherman It is with a distinct feeling of pride that we present to you the honor students of the senior class of 1957 of Fairfield High School. It is an achievement worthy of mention to have maintained a straight A semester average during all of the four years of high school attendance. For this achievement we sincerely congratu- late Miss Dorothy Fickel, the valedictor- ian of the class. Ranking very close to her, and tied for salutatorian honors are Miss Carol Sherman and Mr. James Hoover. 913 While carrying a full schedule of academ- ic classes each of these students has par- ticipated in a wide variety of co-curricular activities and they have each been leaders in various fields of interest in the school. Their scholastic ability has been rewarded with membership in the local chapter of the National Honor Society, and their qualities of leadership have been recog- nized by their fellow students and faculty alike, all of whom join in congratulations for these outstanding students. bid farewell to FHS C.

II3 119 afinal note . . . This copy of the '57 QUILL, which is now in its finished state, was once a pile of assorted pieces. It has been strung from the library, where the staff holds its meetings, to places as far away as Chicago and Des Moines. Of the time and energy spent in its construction, much help was received from outside sources. The 1957 QUILL staff would like to extend a sincere thank you to all the people and or- ganizations who have helped make this edition possible. gary lundberg, editor 2 Srl, I S 'J III 9 F K J' v 4' A SSKQX TRIBUNE PRINTING COMPANY JAHN 81 OLLIER ENGRAVING COMPANY Fairfield, Iowa Chicago llllnols L20 Gi 31 821, K? r 5 'Mtv Sf., ff' xxx ve we is gi 35 E. m z.
