offer service The position of chief cook of FHS was threatened one Sun- day morning as a few Hi-Y boys invaded the kitchen and prepared a huge volume of breakfast for members of their club who were later to attend church together. 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.

Worship, fellowship, and good will are all a part of Y-Teen, a world-wide Christian organization, which meets every other Wednesday. 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.

Pep is our password Top Left: Tommy Trojan Top Right: Seniors lead yells Second: Juniors put up posters Third: Sophomores sell wares Bottom: i'll'9Sl'll1l9ll give pep stunt Hot dogs! 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.
