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.

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.
