Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1961 volume:

Published By THE QUILI. STAFF M FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL Fairfield, Iowa FIll'ElllllI'li In this Colden Anniversary Edition of the QUILL, we have maintained the traditional purpose of a yearbook, that is, to por- tray the school year. Our purpose has been two-fold in this our fiftieth year of publication: to present the customary view of the school year, and in addition, to show the progress which has been made at Fairfield High School since the first QUILL was published in l9l2. To accomplish this, we have used pictures from the first edition of the QUILL. Introduction Dedication Echoes ...., Fine Arts ,l,A Organizations Sports ....,, Personnel .,ll,..

Her knowledge, undersfanding, and occasional genTle prodding when work wasn'T being done on schedule, have been invaluable in The preparafion of This book. On our Trip To The Nafional ScholasTic Press Associafion Conference in Chicago, she was The perfecf sponser. She realized ThaT vve could have fun and learn abouf The publish- ing business aT The same Time. Miss Nlesser was honored by being one of The fevv high school advisers selecTed To con- ducT a class aT The conference, This is evi- dence of The esTeem in which she is held by oThers in The field of yearbook publishing. Despife all The Time she spends on QUILL, she finds Time for ofher acTiviTies. A greaf deal of her energies are devofed To The library, and as sponsor of The Library Club. Her efforfs in This area have made our high school library one of The finesf in The sTaTe. IT is for These reasons, ThaT vve fondly dedicaTe The l96l QUILL To our librarian, sponser, and friend, Miss Louise Messer. 3 The Franklin Building Memories of this year echo through the empty halls, as FHS becomes the alma mater to another graduating class. Since the birth of the QUILL, two previous buildings have also recorded the chronicles of Fairfeld High. The first QUILL was published in 1912 in the old Franklin Building, located in what is now Howard Park. This building was officially opened in 1868 and was used forty-four years. In 1913, classes were moved into the newly erected high school on Briggs Street. When this building was destroyed by fre in 1938, the Public Works Administration assisted in the financing of the present building, which was dedicated in 1940. Fairjield High School's early students had few of the things we now con- sider to be traditional. Such events as the Prom and' Homecoming have evolved through the years, with each class contributing to the over-all pic- ture. In this section we present the echoes of a year at Fairfield .High- its traditions, both in and out of the classroom. x ECTUTCOES Y xx if 1 2 ff gs if 5 Q si , 51 Af 5 if 3 2 5 3 4 Q ig 5, if fe K Q 5 ii if Z S Q B? 1? gw il i X 2 2 il X e i Z Each llew Iluv Brings After unloading high school siudenis, The buses iourney To other schools. Seven o'clock and all is chaos. This would be The cry of a modern Town crier if he were paTrolling The sTreeTs of Fairfield on a Typical school morning. Alarm clocks iangle, The ToasT burns, buTTons pop off, school books Turn up missing, and The car won'T sTarT. Finally, wiTh buTTons re- placed, books collecTed, and The car pushed by a helpful friend, iT's full sieam ahead and a day full of new experiences in sighT. Bedlam also embraces rural households as sTudenTs Tumble ouT of bed, fumble inio Their cloThes, and sTumble ouT To do Their chores shorTly afTer dawn. This brisk exercise in The early morning air opens sleepy eyes and clears fuzzy brains. In facT, by The Time The bus arrives, everyone is almosT awake. AfTer The cold waiT for The bus and The ride To Town, The warm school building seems inviTing. A little car carries a big load. 6 Sfuclenis arrive for a day of new experiences. uIlI'iEll EllIlEI'iElIIIE5 The school building, which began To show signs of life aT 8:00 A. Nl. when sTudenTs arrive for commiTTee meeTings and rehear- sals, really begins To buzz aT 8:10 when The bell beckons everyone inTo The build- ing. A shouT of laughTer echoes down The hall as one sTudenT makes a sTarTling dis- covery when she opens her locker. A few lockers away a couple is discussing plans for The nexT week-end and aT The end of The hall The cheerleaders are selling TickeTs for a bus To The nexT ouT-of-Town game. A sTudenT, back afTer an absence, sTops in The office To pick up his yellow admiT, or -in some cases-The dreaded green one. In The biology proiecf room a bunny rab- biT happily greeTs his morning visiTor who arrives carrying The daily raTion of carroTs. This is an excellenT Time To caTch up on The laTesT gossip. Groups gaTher in The halls To discuss The game TonighT, or The show They saw This week-end, or who had a daTe wiTh whom lasT nighT and where They wenT. Some sTudenTs use This Time To geT exTra help from a Teacher in an especially diffi- culT subiecf.

General maTh, algebra, geomeTry, and TrigonomeTry are a parT of The maThemaTics program which is aimed aT supplying primary needs or more inTense advanced sTudy accord- ing To The inTeresT and abiliTy of The individual. Physics presents its own problems. VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE Care of farm animals and farm machinery is puT To use on The experimental farm for boys parTicipaTing in vocaTional agriculiure. lnTen- sive sTudy of seeds and of The principles of crop planTing and roTaTion provide an impor- TanT background for fuTure farmers. Welding, elecTriciTy, and car and radio repair are only a small parT of The essenTials ThaT accompany The rouTine farm schedule. B SPANISH STraighT from Mexico came Senora MarTa Huer- Ta for Two weeks, one of The 50 foreign ex- change Teachers senT To schools in The UniTed STaTes. Through This educaTional program, Mrs. HuerTa was able To observe The way in which American schools are operaTed while The high school Spanish sTudenTs gained firsT hand informaTion from an auThenTic source which made The foreign language They were sTudying seem even more realisTic. Geometry students struggle to draw round circles. SCIENCE Who are These diligenT people who are con- ducTing such indusTrious research? We could be describing any one of The science sTudenTs aT FHS wheTher They be sTudying physics, chemisTry, or biology. Each science course has iTs own way of challenging The sTudenTs' in- Telleciual abiliTy. Through experimenTs and invesTigaTions, one learns To Think for himself. Careful concenTraTion is required as one adds Two milliliTers of HNO3 To five milliliTers of HZO. Sheep, sheep, ancl more sheep. Ilnuntime tapers Susie demonstrates the quick way To the bottom. An embarrassed Woody makes with the dust pan. While some eat, oThers are in classes, so no one is sur- prised when Susie slides by on her way To pick up aTTen- dance slips. The candy counTer is a popular spot during all Three lunch shifTs, as sTudenTs seek a second de-sserT. Thirty minuTes fly by as Though They were Three and The bell rings To call The firsT shifT back To class and The sec- ond shift To lunch. Once more The quieT halls are dis- rupTed, but a few minuTes later The halls are once more deserTed, classes are in session, and The only sound is The low hum of voices in class discussion, The rustle of paper, or The scraTch of a pencil. lT's ll:32. The halls are deserted. Class is in session and The only sound is The low hurn of voices in class discussion, The rusTle of paper, or scraTch of a pencil. One minute passes. lT's Tl:33, and The halls have Taken on a new look. The low hum of voices has risen To a dull roar, and The scurry of feeT, and clang of closing locker doors has replaced The gen- Tle sounds of sTudenTs studying. On The boTTom floor a lunch line appears ouT of nowhere. Somehow, in all The confusion one poor fellow drops his Tray. He scurries away for a rnop and dusT pan and, under Mr. Eland's waTchful eye, soon has The mess clean- ed up. Students satisfy their sweet tooth. 9 lnvs of Honest luhur STudenTs, armed wiTh rakes, baskeTs, brooms, and painT brushes, are prepared To aTTack The enemy - fallen leaves, dead grass, scaTTered sTicks, broken glass, and discarded papers. Once a year, energeTic and enThus- iasTic workers arrive, dressed in old shirTs and painT- spaTTered levis for The spring clean up day. STudenT Council assigned each home room a specific secTion of The school grounds. Following The final lunch shifT, sTudenTs bursT forTh from The building wiTh over- whelming pep, ready To devoTe The affernoon To beauTi- fying The campus. So iT began. No one loafed for lack of work - of course There is always an excepTion To The rule. The fresh spring air and sunshine lifTed spirifs, and The work flew as each Took his Turn aT raking, Trim- ming, or pulling weeds. A few boys could be found painTing The posTs ThaT line The school drive. BaskeT carriers laden wiTh leaves, grass, weeds, papers, and Twigs made a consTanT sTream as They filed To The enor- mous bonfire Tended by The cusTodians. The reTurn Trip wiTh an empTy baskef proved To be a much easier and lighTer Task. Before long The TwenTy-Two acre campus began To Take on a beauTiful new appearance as secTion by secTion iT was compleTed. Weary, buT proud, sTudenTs Trek back To home rooms for refreshmenfs of pop. The cusTodians were very graTeful for This exTra boosT by The sTudenT body. To show Their appreciaTion, They sponsored a free dance for The enTire sTudenT body May l9, wiTh music by The NaTional Guard Dance Band. One never forgeTs The Tremendous Task The cusTodians per- form To keep our school beaufiful all year. TOP: Jim takes a mid-afternoon break. MIDDLE LEFT: Dandelions must go!

BuT before a sTudenT can compre- hend The meaning of These daTes, he musT sTudy each counTry's geography. VViTh The cobalf bomb, disarmamenT, and spuT-- niks, comes The Nuclear Age and currenT events and problems. Weekly publicafions keep sTudenTs well informed and up To daTe wiTh The newest developmenfs. The Presidential election of The pasT year lenT a flavor and inTeresT To sTudenTs, especially Those in American Problems, who now have a better understanding of our American sys- Tem of governmenT. ART The decorafive drawings, etchings, and wire displays which grace The halls of FHS from Time To Time are The products of The creaTive hands of The high school arT sTudenTs. Under The direcfion of Mr. Glocke, These budding arTisTs are developing Their TalenT To The full- est. Three semesfers of arT are offered wiTh a wide range of projects using a varieTy of maferials. LIBRARY The library is an oasis of quiet amid The husTle and busfle of school, where a sTudenT may come To do research and study. Over 7000 books and 80 magazines provide excellenT maferial on almosT any imaginable subiecf for sTudenT and Teacher alike. The vocafional files and Traveling science library lend assis- Tance in exploring special inTeresTs. Various and decorative bulletin boards give The library a welcoming and cheerful aTmosphere. AfTer school Ten minuTes of confusion accom- panys The mad rush for reserve books and Election year adds interest to government classes. Then again silence prevails as The lasT chair is puT in place and a lone book lies on The empty Table. ENGLISH How is your grammer? Most freshmen would agree ThaT They have had much practice in The use of The English language. The knowl- edge These sTudenTs gain will serve as a foun- dafion for The more advanced English courses They will receive in laTer years. Senior English consisfs of a concenTraTed and inTeresTing sTudy of English liTeraTure Through The cen- Turies, a highlighf of which is The sTudy of Shakespeare's Macbeth. A five-Thousand word Term paper marks The end of The four years of drill in English grammar and comp- osition. Ari' students display Talent. Busy hands are seen across a library table.

Because of his participation in the American Field Service program, Bob was able to bring to Fairfield a true picture of Switzerland and its people. When Bob returned to his home in the United States, he found a new face among the members of his family. Fred Brandl, the FHS foreign ex- change student from Austria, had taken his place in the Ryan household. ' Soon after his arrival in Fairfield, Fred became an active member of the student body, both academically and socially. He made posters for organizations, decorated the halls of FHS with his art work, took an active part in the Student Council, and added his voice to the mellow tones of the high school Choir. Fred's stay in the United States was made possi- ble through the co-operation of the student body and interested individuals and organizations in the community. They furnished sufficient funds to cover his stay in our country. This year, the Student Council has been working even harder to raise money for the program. This money, in addition to financing a student sent from abroad, will help defray the expenses of the student sent overseas by FHS. The Student Council held a sock hop to raise money, while each homeroom chose its own pro- ject to raise its 525.00 quota. A crazy clothes day, and a basketball game between the varsity squad and some senior boys, added to the cam- paign fund. Bob and brother Klaus watch wedding skit. Recalling Schnnl Iluvs Parents visil home rooms. The annual ParenTs' NighT, held aT FHS on Tuesday, November 8, during NaTional Educa- Tion Week, was supplemenTed by The Parent- Teacher conferences, held on The following Friday, in giving The parenTs an excellenT opporTuniTy To discuss Their children's progress wiTh The Teachers. ParenTs' NighT opened wiTh an assembly in The audiTorium where Roger Lawson, Presi- denT of The STudenT Body, welcomed The sTu- denTs pro Tem and inTroduced Mr. R. C. Nor- man, PresidenT of The School Board. ParenTs were briefed on The conTenTs of The lowa TesTs of EducaTional DevelopmenT, so They could beTTer measure The acTual abiliTy and achievemenT of Their children. For The firsT Time, many parenfs saw The faces of Teachers of whom Their children had spoken so ofTen, as all The insTrucTors were inTroduced. Mr. Charles C. Joss, Principal, and Mr. S. War- ner Kirlin, SuperinTendenT of Schools, each exTended a hearTy welcome. Following The general session The parenTs adiourned To home rooms in which They received The schedule They were To follow for The remainder of The evening. STudenT Council members were sTaTioned in differenT parTs of The building To direcT con- fused parenTs as They scurried from class To class. Each class lasTed approximaTely Ten minuTes - iusT long enough To explain The course and iTs fundamenTals. AT The end of fourTh period, The parenTs wiThdrew To The dining room for refreshmenTs and conversa- Tion. The whole school Took on a new aTmos- phere as parenTs sTepped inTo Their childrens' shoes To roam The corridors of FHS. 1 My, how chemistry has changed!

An empTy floor sTrewn wiTh fallen sTreamers and forgoTTen souvenirs, and The empTy chairs of The band were The only relics of The Home- coming Dance as The lighTs dimmed and The lasT sTudenTs lefT wiTh beauTiful memories of an unforgeTTable nighT. PreparaTions had begun weeks in advance. Homecoming meanT lengThy hours of prac- Tice on The fooTball field preparing for The all-imporTanT game, exTra drilling on The parT of The cheerleaders To perfecT each yell, and The work of The willing hands of many STU- denT Council members To execuTe The final plans for The impending dance. Thursday nighT was The prelude of The spiriTed acTivi- Ties. STudenTs gaThered on The Tennis courTs To give The girls a chance To show Their inTc:r- preTaTion of some of The fundamenTal fooT- ball Techniques, assisTed by members of The varsiTy fooTball squad. As a CenTerville man burned in effigy aTop a pole over The enor- mous, blazing bonfire, The roaring flames kindled a spiriT of enThusiasm and eagerness in every sTudenT in anTicipaTion of The game. AT The pep assembly, FrosTy WesTering, a former aThleTic direcTor and an all-Time FHS favoriTe, inTroduced The drum roll which broughT Tremendous sTudenT parTicipaTion. The pep assembly was concluded wiTh The Tradi- Tional march To The Town square led by The cheerleaders, Pep Band, and The queen candi- daTes aTop converTibles. Del and Judy lead The grand march.

Upon entering The gym, everyone was sTruck wiTh awe aT The beauTiTul decorations. Orange, brown, green, red, and gold sTreamers sprink- led wiTh autumn leaves carried ouT The Theme of SepTember Song. AT The norTh was The elevaied Throne draped in deep purple velveT againsT a brown, inTerlaced background crowned with shining gold leaves. A golden Trellis -en- hanced wiTh autumn leaves was The base of an array of golden encircled sTreamers. AT lasT The long anTicipaTed momenT arrived. Each queen candidate, escorTed by a senior TooTball member, was announced by Mr. Joss as she passed be- neaTh The Trellis. The crowd grew hushed as Coach Crew opened The golden leaves contain- ing The name of The nexT homecoming queen. After pausing before each of Them, he stopped in TronT of a short saucy, bruneTTe and crowned Judy JohnsTon as queen. ATTer being presenTed a dozen red roses, Judy, escorTed by 'Football captain Del Swan, led The grand march. The couples glided across The floor To The enchanting music of The ArisTocraTs. Behind The whiTe-pick- et Tence, which wound around The band, hung a mural displaying Indian summer along a counTry road wiTh a covered bridge. An enioyable band, beauTiTul decoraTions, and The handsomely dress- ed couples, all lent an air of gayeTy. FRONT ROW: K. Warner, J. Robinson, R. Coop, J. Ferguson, J. Cornelius, K. Smith. ROW 2: R.

The candidates for next year's Student Body President will be Betty Blough, Belinda Brown, Roxanne O'Grady, and Jim Watson. Thus, days of anxiety were ended as Roger Lawson, present Student Body President, announced the candidates. In the preceding week, the iuniors had nom- inated these candidates from a list of the en- tire class. After the announcement on Wed- nesday morning, the hustle and bustle really began. Early that night Operation Campaign began in earnest. The long hours stretched far into the night or more correctly, early morning. But no one seemed to mind, for the excite- ment and harmonious efforts of every individ- ual kept awake the tired dispositions. Candidates and their campaigners appeared on the scene bright and early Thursday and Colorful posters sparked Roxanne's campaign. Friday mornings to distribute tags, flowers, candy, and gum, and to put up posters, bal- loons, and tags on every available spot. Finally the hour come, each campaign mana- ger gave a campaign speech and introduced his candidate. Well-planned and well-execu- ted skits were presented. Following the assembly, everyone adjourned to homerooms where freshmen, sophomores, and juniors cast their vote for the one whom they considered best qualified and most capable. Once again the click of the public address system brought everyone to immediate atten- tion. Sig Krane, present Vice-President, an- nounced Roxanne O'Grady as Vice-President and Roger Lawson announced Jim Watson as Student Council President for the coming year. Roger and Sig extend congratulations to their successors. Hearts und Flowers l l Coach and Mrs. Eland crown king and queen. A luminous ray of lighT shone down on The ma- iesfic hearT and The candidaTes as Coach and Mrs. R. VV. Eland sTood ready To crown The fuTure King and Queen of l-learTs. Two weeks before, The dance had only been in The early sfages of planning. The class officers were in a frenzy Trying To selecT sixfeen nom- inees from each class. These names were Then puT before Their respecTive classes and The four finalisTs chosen were senT To Alpha Tau Omega FraTerniTy and Alpha Chi Omega Sororify aT The STaTe UniversiTy of lowa for final selecTion. Those nominafed were: freshmen - Jean Ann Har- den, Diane Billingsley, Chuck Dickinson, Ken AlTman, sophomores - Carol Clingan, Sharon Fishel, Rick Hoadly, Kenf Vorhies, iunior - .!aneT MclnTire, BeTTy Blough, Bill Rausc er, Ron Maddix, seniors - Linda Morrow, ose Coop, Roger Lawson, Jerry Coble. Spec la- Tion increased and gossip inTensified as The daTe drew near. Quill members had been aT work weeks be- fore designing and building The decoraTions for The oncoming dance. Many hours of work had gone inTo The main decoraTion, and as The 6000Th kleenex was sTuffed in The lasT hole a sigh of relief and accomplishmenf was heard. The nighT had finally arrived, The Troians had iusT capTured The TiTle of conference champs and a doubly exciTed crowd sfreamed inTo The gym. As They enTered The gym They were meT by The beauTiful Tones of The 34Th Division NaTional Guard Dance Band. Now The big momenT had arrived and a hush fell over The crowd as Coach and Mrs. Eland received sealed envelopes conTaining The long awaiTed news and Turned To crown sopho- mores, KenT Vorhies and Carol Clingan, King and Queen of Hearfs. Carol received a beau- Tiful corsage of red roses and KenT received a red rose boufonniere. BuT The nighT ended all Too soon as do all good Times. Everyone Took home wonderful mem- ories, especially The candidaTes for whom The nighT had been a lasfing experience. Carol Clingan 18 Kent Vorhies Hllil nllllll mIlfEf As The graduaTing class of T961 siTs Tensely awaifing The momenT when They will arise be- fore Their parenTs, friends, and Teachers To accepT Their diploma, They find Themselves reminiscing over The momenfs They shared wiTh Their fellow classmafes ThroughouT Their four years of high school. These momenTs of proud successes and miserable failures were a parT of Their everyday life ThaT helped Them To grow as individuals. Looking back, These years have passed by quick- ly, leaving behind memories ThaT will never die . . . memories of Their firsT prom, and Their lasT, The foofball game The Team almosT won, or The day The baskefball squad, and mosT of The school, journeyed To The STaTe TournamenT in Des Moines. Many sTudenTs spenT long hours helping To pro- duce The musical, Annie Gef Your Gun and The play Our Town, and many worked on sTudenT body presidenTial campaigns unTil The early hours of The morning. Dressing up as a Roman for The SPQR banquef, screaming aT The Top of Their lungs aT pep assemblies, and aTTending afTer-game dances will linger among The mem- ories of high school. BUT noT all of The sTudenT's Time was spenf in having fun. Homework required hours of concenTraTed sTudy. Seniors can remember The long hours of work ThaT final year as They prepared Their 5000 word Term paper in Eng- lish. And in Their oTher years, They will re- member The momenfous proiecfs They Tackled. As freshman They gave ThaT firsT speech, which aT The Time seemed To be an unapproachable Task. Caesar was The challenge of Their soph- omore year. Book reporfs were an ever pre- senT proiecf To Them as iuniors. Siudeni becomes alumnus. All is noT in The pasT. These sTudenTs who have prepared Through Their four years of high school now look To The fuTure. They are now ready To conTinue on info new experiences which will evenTually be added To Their sTore of memories. Every Senior musf aT one Time feel a lump in his ThroaT as his high school days draw To a close. YeT They can aT The same Time be glad ThaT They are sorry To leave, because These years have been such a wonder- ful parT of Their life. They look To The fuTure wiTh a mixTure of confidence and uncerTainiTy. The records which They made from day To day will be remembered as will The eTernal friend- ships which Took roof.

On the FHS auditorium stage students display their talents to their classmates and the general public. Fairfield High has always offered an excellent program in the field of fine arts. When the first QUILL was published, the debate and declam contests were among the year's high lights. Musically talented students could participate in the lvoy's or girl's glee club, the band, and the orchestra. Today, numerous dramatic and musical activities are offered to FHS students. These include plays, musical concerts - instrumental and vocal - and variety shows, plus many small group activities and individual work. The activities of both the dramatic and music departments are climaxed in the spring at the speech and music contests, where the results of a year's work are displayed and rewarded.

Choir mem- bers blended their voices in singing two selec- tions for criticism from Professor Charles Math- eson, of Iowa State Teachers College, the guest conductor for the day's activities. Star-studded heavens, symbolizing those which surrounded the earth on the first Christmas, set the scene for this year's annual Christmas Concert. Songs which have embedded them- selves in the American celebration of Christ- mas were presented by the small ensembles. Multi-colored lights, proiected on a white back- drop by Stage Craft Club, portrayed the var- ious phases of the Nativity as the Choir sang traditional carols. The inspired faces of the audience were illum- inated by the Star of Bethlehem, as the lights slowly dimmed, and the Choir concluded the program with the singing of Stille Nacht. Fred Brandl, who lives in Austria, also the homeland of Silent Night's composer, aided the Choir in learning the correct pronunciation of the lyrics. More specialized training was gained by par- ticipating in a small group. These small en- sembles took part in school assemblies and public performances.

There they were to represent our school at the annual All-State Chorus Festival. The seven-hundred All-Iowa choral representa- tives attended diligent rehearsals in preparation for the final concert at the KRNT Theatre. Though these practices were hard, industrious ones, they ultimately proved to be worthwhile. The singers in attendance had previously learned the eight selections that were to be performed. The necessary polish was added to the numbers through the vigorous efforts of the Festival con- ductor, Mr. Weston Noble. The trip's high light occurred with the Saturday night concert, blending the voices of the seven- hundred musicians before a full house. TOP: Plantation life portrayed by Freshmen girls.

As the chilly winds of winter began to swirl around the corners of Fairfield High School, the Contest Band laid aside its marching music and began preparing for its indoor public per- formances. On January 15, 1961, the Concert Band pre- sented its annual mid-winter concert. A march, Gold and Silver opened the show. The cornet section was featured during Etude No. 11 followed by Theme from the Nutcracker Suite. Jim Paulson, Danny Rupp, Marilyn Peck, Dana White, Roger Maple, and Bob Crandall blended the tones of their in- struments in presenting Moods. A marimba solo entitled Polka from the Golden Age, was performed by Jo Ann Short. Dialogue for Four was played by Nancy Earley, Bar- bara Egan, Anne Austin, and Marilyn Peck. The band members enioyed presenting a nov- elty tune entitled ln a Clock Store as much as the audience enioyed listening to it. Gun- smirk, an unusual series of songs telling a story of a cowboy who becomes entangled in a love triangle, was enioyed by the audi- ence. The action led to a gunfight, but all ended well with the arrival of the cavalry The Star Spangled Banner was the closing number of the evening's performance. Please! Oh, please! Buy a candy bar from me, is the plea which can be heard each year 30 throughout the halls as the band members begin selling candy bars to raise money for their band trips. These candy bars, complete with a picture of the band on the wrapper, are also sold door-to-door throughout Jeffer- son County. Another profitable source of in- come is the sale of season tickets for the annual concerts. The Concert Band embarked on its first trip on the morning of March 7, 1961, to partici- pate in the Southeast Six Conference Band Festival held at Bloomfield, Iowa. The Direc- tor of Bands at Drake University, Don Mar- coullier, was guest conductor for the day's activities. Multi-colored lights, furnished by the Stage Craft Club, were a new feature added to the band's Spring Concert. On the evening of April 6, 1961, the band opened its perform- ance with a rousing march Americans We. The lights gradually changed to a crimson red as the Woodwind Quintet played March Miniature. A hymn-like selection, Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring was entoned against a massive pipe organ proiected on the back- drop. The everchanging lights combined in a deep olive green as the Irish Tune from Country Derry was played. Tall, stately pines and small nomad tents were proiected on a dark red backdrop as a thought provoking Recognition fur Band FRONT ROW: J. A. Harden, N. Earley, C. Biles. ROW 2: T. Macldix, l.

The Two lmps, a bell lyre solo, was performed by Jo Ann Short. A medley of tunes from The Sound of Music was well received by young and old alike. With each new selection the lights changed to a new ray of color. A percussion ensem- ble, composed of Ken Norton, Ray McCrack- en, Gene Rizor, John Genkinger, Jon Bower- master, and John Drap played a very fast moving number Modulation, Their instru- ments, decorated with a phosphorescent ma- terial, shone very brightly as the black light was thrown on them. A lively tune entitled Nadine was performed by Marcia Griffin on her saxophone followed by a band num- ber entitled Overature for Winds. The lights again changed to a multi-colored background as the flute trio played Allegro, A huge American flag was suspended over the band and spotlighted against a blue background as the evening's concert was brought to a close with the playing of the National Anthem. Students learned specialized techniques through participation in small groups or solo work. These ensembles and soloists display- ed their talents in many performances and concerts. The final test came with participa- tion in the State Contest. Fairfield High School was host to the State Music Contest held on April 28 and 29. Small instrumental -groups which took part were: Clarinet trio, Anne Austin, Roger Johnson, Jim Evans, Flute trio A, Nancy Earley, Roianne Miller, Carol Biles, Flute trio B, Danella Young, Jean Ann Harden, Jean Whitaker, Drum Ensemble, Jon Bower- master, John Glenkinger, John Drap, Gene Rizor, Ken Norton, and Ray McCracken.

AfTer choosing Their cafegories and Topics, The enTranTs proceeded To prepare Their selecfions. These ambiTious pupils enThusias- Tically wroTe and re-wroTe, read and re-read Their speeches and readings in an efforT To reach perfecfion. They presenTed enTries repeaTedly To Their coaches for crificisms and advice in regard To improvemenfs. Thus, They impaTienTly awaiTed The day when They would hear The familiar ConTesTanT number-1 Fair- field, aT The STaTe ConTesT. 32 However, before They were able To hear These words, They had a long, hard road To Travel. Several sTumbling blocks along This road in- cluded The home eliminaTions, The prelimin- ary conTesT, and The disTricT conTesT. Each consecuTive sTride in The direcTion of STaTe raised The compeTiTion, and furTher increased The need for perfecfion. The preliminary evenT was held in Fairfield, wiTh The disTricT following aT Marengo. Grin- nell provided The final big sTep - STaTe. Sur- viving The previous eliminaTions wiTh flying colors, Twelve Fairfielders proceeded To Grin- nell.

This drama was chosen as the one-act contest play for 1961. Being completely in verse form, the play proved to be a new experience for those participating. The hen-pecked husband, Jacquinot, was discov- ered by his wife and mother-in-law while in the act of complaining about his numerous house- hold duties. This was indeed unfortunate for poor Jacquinot, for his consistent complaints led him to an even worse fate. He was then order- ed to write his wife's instructions down in ink and abide strictly by them. Assisted repeatedly by her mother, Jeannette proceeded to list the tasks to be carried out by her husband. The dictation was interrupted constantly by various excuses from the accused. When finally the list was completed, Jacquinot was summoned to help his wife wring the clothes. Still complaining and groaning, he sar- castically jerked a sheet so hard that the impact knocked his spouse into the suds. Jeannette begged for aid, but on checking over the list of duties set up for him, Jacquinot announced that getting people out of wash tubs simply wasn't written down. Hence, he was not com- pelled to get her out. However, after a short deliberation he concluded that if he could be relieved of all previously men- tioned duties, he would assist Jeannette from the tub. lt was agreed to gratefully by wife, and regretfully by mother, and Jeannette emer- ged from the suds. The play proceeded rapidly up in ranks from preliminary to district, and right on to the state contest. At the State One-act Play contest, in Grinnell, it received a division ll rating.

IT was drama- Tized by Ann Reynolds from The novel by Craig Rice. The sTory revolved around The life of a widowed mysTery writer, Marian Carsrairs, and her Three children: Dinah, who is 16 and practical, April, who looks as delicate and fragile as her name, buT whose acTions differ greaTly, and Archie, The eleven-year- old kid broTher.

Dinah wanTs To find an ideal man for her mother To marry, and April and Archie feel ThaT she needs a big publicity break on her next novel. When a real murder occurs next door, all Three children see a chance To put Their proiecTs inTo effecT. Dinah's answer To an ideal man arrives To solve The crime in The person of LieuTenanT Bill SmiTh. He is a good-looking bachelor, and Dinah feels iT is more Than coincidence ThaT his name is The same as That of The hero in all her moTher's mysTery novels. Bill and his assisTanT, SergeanT O'Hare, have considerable difficulty in solving The mys- Tery because The kids plant false clues To Throw Them off The Track. They want To keep Bill around unTil Dinah's plan goes inTo effecT. One of Their more daring ven- Tures is The hiding of suspecT No. 1. They continue To meddle in The mysTery as The play comes To a climax. The ending finds The proiecTs completely carried ouT. 36 TOP: The right gesture at the right time is important.

On these pages we are picturing the most inclusive organization Xat FHS, the student body. Today organizations play a key role in school life. They embrace mXany different areas, enabling each student to find a group in which to develop his own interests. Contrast this with the situation that existed fifty yeaXrs ago,when the only major school organizations were the literaXry societies. These groups stated their purpose as being, To further literary spirit. Now we have many organizations with varied purposes: to develop leadership, promote school service, prepare students for future voca-tions, promote scholarship, and satisfy individual tastes. Benefits such as these make our schedule of extra-curricular activities extremely valuable. These organizations combine with other phases of school life, to round out the high school student's personality.

We have worked To give you whaT we hope is one of The besT QUILLS ever pub- lished, a doorway To The exciTing and noT-Too-exciT- ing memories of The wonderful 1960-1961 school year. The sTaff's goal has been To produce a book ThaT symbolizes fifTy years of progress. Work began on The book lasT summer as The senior sTaff members .meT To decide The basic plan of The book. The Co-ediTors worked vviTh Their sponsor To prepare a miniaTure plan of each page of The book. This was developed inTo whaT was referred To as The Big Dummy. ln laTe Augusf, eighT members of QUILL sTaff iourneyed To Chicago for The Nafional ScholasTic Press AssociaTion con- ference To aTTend lecTures and discussions as well as sighT-seeing. Weekly Monday nighT meefings during The school year and exTra work sessions for indi- vidual secfions consumed many of The mem- bers' free hours. Peddling pop and Chrisfmas cards, selling adverTising To local merchanTs, and The sale of name cards and announce- menTs To seniors were The money-making pro- iecfs Thaf financed The book. The picTure of The school year is divided inTo five differenf divisions: Echoes, Fine Arfs, Organizafions, Sporfs, and Personnel. Al- Though The seniors on These secfions made The major decisions such as cover and dedicaTion, Sports section hard ai' work. The seven iuniors and one sophomore chosen in The fall as Penscrafchers offered Their valu- able ideas as well as working enThusiasTically. The enTire sTaff worked TogeTher To weave The numerous evenTs and memories of The year inTo one compleTe sTory. Revisions, in- Terrupfions, re-revisions, and The pressure of deadlines frayed The sTaff's nerves, buT finally The book wenf To press in April. For The sfaff iT had been a year of long nighT meefings, buf There had been much fun and learning, Too. Alfhough only a small group of sTudenTs do The acTual recording of The school year, iT is The accomplishmenTs of The enTire sTudenT body which provides The maferial for This book.

The undefeated girl hard- courters boasted one of the strongest teams in the state, while the boys were also compiling an excellent record. Fifty years later, we again find Fairfield High ranked as a basketball power. This year's Trojans reign' as Southeast Six Confer- ence champions. The highlight of our sports season occurred when the Fairfield starting line-up was introduced at the State Tournament in Des Moines. Since the first Trojan basketball teams took to the court, FHS's athletic depart- ment has undergone many changes. The gridders have moved from an empty field to .a large stadium. Girls' basketball has been discontinued while other sports have been inaugurated. The values derived from our athletic program have not diminished. Those who participate in athletics still derive individual satisfaction, acquire a knowledge of the sport, and learn the value of teamwork and sportsmanship. It remains a priv- ilege and a responsibility to represent FHS on the athletic field. SIQORTS I 61 liridders Tulle Third FRONT ROW: R. Leedy, E. Johnson, D. Egli, J. Cummings, D. Swan, J. Wood, K.

The FHS cagers opened their conference season by defeating Ft. Madison 74-62. Watson and Bob Cooksey were Fairfield's big guns, scoring 28 and 19 points respectively. Taking to the road for the first time the Trojans dropped a 54-50 decision to a strong Washington club. Our cagers were stone cold during the first half and their play was far off its usual form.

TENTATIVE SCHEDULE Burlington Burlington Burlington Notre Dame Burlington Notre Dame District State Tennis is Fairfield High School's newest sport on the varsity level. The squad was recruited entirely from students with no previous inter- scholastic experience. Those making up the team had learned the fundamentals in physical education class, and they had played only in- tramural competition. To sharpen the player's techniques, Coach Mitchell showed a series of films featuring stars of the tennis world, stress- ing both the basic fundamentals and the finer points of the game. Following the films, the 78 netmen went to the courts to work the rust out of their volleys and serves. After a short period of preparation, the candidates held an intra-squad tournament to determine a tenative team. Once this team had been formed, the other squad members were allow- ed to challenge their position. Coach Mitchell tried various combinations to determine the doubles teams. Although the tennis team has no conference schedule for the season, it does have a number of practice meets with established teams. These meets were set up for the experience that they will offer our beginning team. This year's team roster includes a large num- ber of underclassmen, who with the exper- ience they should gain this season, will form the nucleus of more powerful FHS net teams in the years to come. The FHS athletic department feels that this new addition to the spring sports program, provides Fairfield High School with an excell- ent, well-balanced spring athletic program. This makes it possible for a maximum num- ber of athletes to participate in varsity com- petition and provides for a wide range of per- sonal selection. lllLl'lIIllIlI'lll5 PI'llUlIlE Fllll lT is realized aT Fairfield High School ThaT only a small number of sTudenTs can parTici- paTe in varsiTy aThleTics.

In I883, Fairfield High School graduated its first class consisting of ten young women. They all followed the same course of study, but the subjects taken consisted of much more than the standard readin', 'ritin', and 'rithmeticf' Science, literature, physiology, and four years of Latin wer eamong the subjects emphasized. A typical exam question of fifty years ago, might have been, Draw a map of jefferson County, naming and locating the townships, towns, streams, and rail- roads. With the birth of the space age, the value of this sort of knowledge has declined. A broader knowledge of one's world has become necessary. However, the purpose of our schools has not changed since it was stated thus in a report of the Fairfield Public Schools in 1893: The first object is to teach the pupil to read intelligently, to express his thoughts correctly in oral and written lan- guage, and to use the fundamental principles of arithmetic accurately and rapidly. 191 EJ RQSQNNEL HIIIIIIIIISLITILIIIII SCHOOL BOARD: iSeatedl: Mr. Kenneth Larson, vice-president, Mrs. Ollive Hickenbottom, secretary, Mr. W.
