An empty parking lot, undecorated windows and closed bootroom doors attest to the closing of Pleasant Plain. Pleasant Plain fond Remembered The doors to the Pleasant Plain school had grown accustomed to opening and shutting for excited, rac- ing, shrieking children. These same doors are now in a quiet, undisturbed sleep. Apparent unavoidable bud- get cuts forced the little red schoolhouse in the north- eastern part of the country to conclude its 82nd year of classes. For the alumni, sentimental feelings and memories accompany their confusion as to why their school had to close. Hundreds of people were educated at good ol' Pleasant Plain for they considered it the best in the state — a place that seemed like a second home. Graduates fondly remember recesses filled with games of tag, four-square, kickball, and football. Some girls would pick dandelions for teachers or jump rope to Cinderella-dressed in yella .. . The local monkeys climbed on the bars swining around and around until they would fall off from dizziness. Mischief-makers pushed merry-go-rounds so fast that heads would spin and screams were prevelant. All in all, recesses were a welcomed release of energy. Fortunately, the school lunches were good, although they weren't always appreciated until the students grew older. Friendly cooks everyone loved soon learned who liked Spinach and who didn't so they could serve the portions accordingly. Classes produced knowledge in the basic reading writ- ing, and 'rithmetic. Reading groups, spelling lists and science experiments were part of the daily routine as kids trudged from hour to hour. A special party for Valentine's day and the kindergar- ten's annual interpretation of the first Thanksgiving complete with costumes were just part of the extra activities. Another annual happening was the talent show with acts involving amateur singers, dancers, actors, and pianists. With the formation of the District's only PTG came fun chili suppers. The younger crowd looked forward to the good food, cake walk and fish pond, but their elders grew tired of handing out money. Student Council always sponsored several skating parties. These were especially important events since boys of- ten asked girls months in advance if they could be partners in the moonlight. Even though the majority of last year's students now attend Lincoln and Lockridge grade schools, local citi- zens were still saddened to see the diminishing com- munity's only point of interest taken away. This close-knit Family of Pleasant Plain people shared a unique closeness with one another through their in- volvement with the town's only survivor. Although this well-loved school was forced to shut its doors, no one can drive away the alumni's special memories. - Francie Horras Summer Oh, those great summer days! They break the dull routine of getting up early every day, taking those impossible tests, and eating school lunch. Summer is a time for running barefoot in the hot July sun, taking a refreshing plunge in the city pool, or perhaps keeping up with the suspense and drama of daytime soap operas. For some, summer is a chance for more hours at work, the beginning of a new summer job, or attending camp. The long awaited for summer vacation breezes by much too quickly, for that first ring of the bell on that hot August day rings in another challenging year. Baud Zrip Zip-a-dee-do-dah, zip-a-dee-ah, My-oh-my those were hot summer days. The band skipped through the streets of Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, and Phoenix to this well memorized tune during their trip west into the states of Califor- nia and Arizona. The smog filled Santa Ana winds of the Califor- nia coast made for a very hot and dusty stay in Los Angeles. Tired band members enjoyed luxur- ious accommodations and wonderful meals with plenty of fresh pineapple and watermelon at the Hyatt Hotel. Many experienced the thrill of see- ing the ocean for the first time. The highlight of the trip for everyone was marching in the Lions International Convention where they placed seventh out of thirty-five bands and the twirlers took third. 1. Putting finishing touches on the new Driver's Ed. door is Fairfield School employee, Keith Pearson. 2. Brenda Carolyn found a cool summer time job working at the Tastee Freeze. 3. Janet Wadle, Zena Howard, Jenny Holmes, Stephanie Hall, Tammy Oakes, and Kathi Brust enjoy Disneyland Park and the California sunshine. 4. Band members show appreciation for the work Mr. Prill did in organizing the band trip by presenting him with an engraved watch. 5. Keeping a watchful eye on all swimmers is Fairfield Mu- nicipal Pool life guard Julie Litton. 6. Luggage — � vj5 a persistant vacationing foe of every band member.

Ag Show brings memories of friends gathering around a show box to play cards, listening to KRNA on the radio, and laughing at a city girl dodge the pud- dles as she walks through the cattle barn. Inevi- tably, they would break the monotony with a water fight when the temperature started to scorch. These four days of hard work, relaxation, and accomplishment give the 4-H member a true sense of pride and satisfaction. Kegistration Old and new students experienced the usual cha- otic registration day in August that brought the beginning of school one week closer. A mad rush followed as everyone tried to schedule their first choice of teachers, classes and hours. Frustrations and headaches were only part of the dilemma for sophomores; juniors and seniors had registered already so some classes were filled. Ta- bles for these unlucky sophomores were scattered around where they frantically reworked their schedules. Finally, after standing in a long line to be checked out, students returned home to live out the rest of their days of freedom. 1. The end of summer brings students to the begining of school — and registration. 2. Senior 4-H meml er Gretchen Wells models her blue rib- bon clothing selection at the 4-H Fashion Revue. 2. Pinning high hopes on this pen of porkers are Bill Goehr- ing and Jim Stone. 4. Discussing schedule changes are sophomores Chong Kwak and Jenny Herzog. 5. Sweat, groans, and stinging rope burns were all elements ol the annual tug-of-war at this years' Jr. Ag Show. 6. Colleen Schillerstrom's first high school assignment was to decide whether to register for Driver's Ed 4th or rth hour. 7. Many Ag Show memories belong to the livestock shower stall: water fights, meeting old friends, talking to your steer, and hamming it up for the camera. _ It was more than just an ordinary day. Students and teachers alike could sense the extra restless- ness rippling through the halls. The guards occuping hall control would turn the other way if an obnoxious pupil would raise his voice or make an unnecessary bang against the locker. The excitement was building as the week pro- gressed. The Seniors seemed to have control of things as they won ,Lift Your Spirits Day , the Spirit Stick, and the float contest. Mr. Septor brought thoughts to everyone's minds when he reminded us all of the true meaning of Home- coming- winning the game. To a member of the football team it felt great to be supported by so many fans here at the Trojan Stadium. As the crowd tightly squeezed together, the enthusiastic fans cheered, the referee blew his whistle, and the contest had begun. Halftime brought the Trojans off the field and the Home- coming Queen and her court on. Most don't know what Coach Smith said to inspire the young players, but it can be well assured his voice was full of motivating force to bring the team back to 35-0 win over the Mt. Pleasant Panthers. The weary players and their supporters made their way to the annual Homecoming dance in the gymnasium. The slow-moving football play- ers showed signs of a hard fought contest as some filtered out the doors before the festivities ended. As the last student turned to look back, recollec- tions of friends, excitement, anticipation, and victorious relief all came to mind as the evening closed this year's homecoming week. HOMECOMING 1. Senior band members express moderate jubilation over their float victory. 2. Steve Nelson and Jean Lacey sway to the music of Foot- loose. 3. Reigning over Homecoming festivities is Queen Susan Kaska. 4. Senior determination produces a winning float. 5. Steve Crew and Mary' Ledger enjoy a slower moment. 6. Juniors Linda Copeland and Julie Bowden prepare the class float under the supervision of Stephanie Bender and Steph- anie Hall. 7. Enthusiastic cheerleaders and pom pon girls catch the homecoming fever. Missing persons, dark castles, and sinister evils combine to set the mood for The Creature Creeps by Jack Shark ley. The play opens as Baron Von Blitzen and Mord, his half human servant, are planning the conclusion of their dia- bolical scheme. Four members of the local com- munity have disappeared and the suspicious fin- ger is beginning to point towards the castle walls. A surprise visit by Daisy Von Blitzen, Babsy, and Frank Sterling helps lead to solving the crimes. With the help of an old school nursery rhyme, Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief; doctor, lawyer, merchant, chief the Baron brings forth his creature. Using these devices, the Baron proves the creature to be the rich man through the chief all rolled into one. Old and new performers alike came together to present the first production under Mr. Dennis Doyle.

Cupid's arrow struck the hearts of couples as they entered the gym for an evening of fun and dancing at the annual Sweetheart Dance. As the eve reached its climax, all minds focused on the pink and red royal throne from which the next Sweetheart king and queen would reign. Tension mounted during introductions of the royal court. Cries like good luck Snore and let's go Polish Cannon were heard as class peers cheered on their regal favorite. Applause smothered the room as Jeff Elia and Diane Jack- son were crowned nobility for the night. A slow playing song closed the dance with the words I won't forget tonight reflecting the thoughts of those who would remember this night for years to come. CHRISTMAS Friends, family, and students are brought togeth- er as the world universally celebrates Christmas. Spirit filled halls brought cheerful smiles to many while warmly expressed thoughts told all the yule tide season was near. The school began to buzz with rushed tests to beat the vacation; students and teachers scurried about delivering last minute presents and cards. Dumploads of snow motivated snowball fights and immobile cars. Singers, dancers, and Mrs. Santa Claus were all part of the Student Council's annual Christmas talent show. As time moved in a quickened pace, the clocks ticked away this joyous season. The sparkling light and pleasant glow of the Christ- mas tree was suddenly ended as the decorations were put away for another year. Christmas was filled with warmth and good cheer as many at school remembered another joyful year. 1.

A mood of relaxation settles over Sweetheart dancers. SWEETHEART Twelve Anerv lurors. by Reginald Rose, in- volves the preceedings of twelve jurors deciding the fate of a young man accused of killing his father. As the production opens, it becomes ap- parent that the members of the jury' are confi- dent that it will be an open and shut case. An- gered and shocked by one defiant juror, played by Kim Kleemyer, sides are quickly chosen among those voting guilty or not guilty. The action revolves around Kleemyer and an- other juror, Dianne Unkrich, who compete for the support of their peers while deciding on a verdict. The jurors appear depressed while they change their minds back and forth from guilty to innocent as Kleemyer and Unkrich present their cases. Unkrich pleads for support, but to no avail; she decides to give in as the play closes. The drama touched on a number of issues de- bated in today's society. Because of this serious tone, performers had to study their scripts thor- oughly to obtain depth in meaning and under- standing of character. 1. To the horror of other jury members, Dianne Unkrich, juror 3, demonstrates the correct switchblade procedure to use with Kim Kleemeyer (it 8) as her victim. 2. Stephanie Wells gives her opinion of the case to fellow jurors before discussion begins. X I'm going to kill you! bellows juror 4, Bill Craber, as he and Bob Curney, juror 12, attempt to reconstruct the mur- der. 4. Try-outs are a tedious part of a production, and the con- centration and weariness show on everyone's face. 5. Juror 8, Kim Kleemeyer, makes another point in her favor as she discloses a new piece of evidence. 6. This window, which created a problem is set design, also created a focal point onstage for several decision-torn jurors. Director Dennis M. Doyle Assistant to the Director Nancy A.

Students dined on differ- ent steak and seafood meals unlike the accus- tomed burger and fries. Entering the pastel park created by the junior class, couples spent Pre- cious Time dancing to the music of Horizon. After several encore dances, the weary group paraded to the Co-ed to watch Just You and Me Kid sponsored by local community service clubs. The students were treated as stars; club members parked their cars and filmed them in grand premier style as they strolled into the the- atre. At 2:30 the nightowls headed home to change clothes and then returned to the Elks for an early morning pepperoni, sausage pizza breakfast and a final spin around the dance floor. Admist parents and flashing cameras, the gradu- ates filed into the auditorium for Baccalaureate service. Reverend John VVHken began his ser- mon by granting the seniors a moment to holler, clap, and yell to express their feelings of accom- plishments and freedom . He spoke on the class motto, Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it expressing that to an extent, knowledge is good. Unfortunately, knowledge used unwisely won't solve the world's problems; rather, faith in God will take us further. Chosen by fellow band and choir members, Ali- son Herzog, performing a tenor sax solo, and Kim Kleemeyer and Todd Shannon, performing a vocal duet, provided the musical entertainment for the evening. Although rainy and cold out- side, the atmosphere in the auditorium was one of inspiration and hope for the graduating class of 1982. 1. Dave Bryon and Dianne Denny enter an enchanting paradise at prom. 2. Taking a cookie and punch break from dancing are Steve Bekel and La Dawn Smith. J. Seniors turn thoughts to summer and the upcoming futures as they file out during the Recessional at Baccalaureate. 4. Senior class officers and their dates receive special recogni- tion at prom. 5. Reverend John Sattler enjoys Alison Herzog's tenor sax solo accompanied by Francie Horras. 6. The class of '62 listens intently to Reverend WHken's words of wisdom. Precious Time served as theme for both the prom and the evening, for students had to set watches ahead one hour to meet daylight savings time. Brian Fronzcak and Jyl Cox fence together prom decorations. PROM For many seniors, graduation means the chance to face the world as adults with the knowledge they have acquired through many years of chal- lenges, friendships, and opportunities. For others graduation is a frightening step; old friends are lost and that long journey down the path of life suddenly begins. Weather threatened the 1982 Commencement exercises, but as graduation drew near, the sun shone brightly and marked another perfect evening. Senior speakers, Alison Herzog and Mark Danielson, spent days preparing for their address to fellow classmates. Alison compared the process of learning to the three little pigs who built their houses out of straws, sticks, and bricks. She emphasized that furthering knowl- edge is like mortoring the bricks and repairing the roof. As a closing, she told seniors to beware of the big bad wolf! After paying tribute to Gordon S. Brookhart, Mark in formed seniors to get the big picture, a phrase often heard in driver's ed. His main emphasis was on tolerance, understanding, and a sense of humor. Norman J. Sandler, a U.P.I. reporter and editor in Washington D.C., spoke on The problems and prospects of surviving the '80's. He stressed that the problems facing today's society are very severe and threatening; however, he pointed out that it's still possible to achieve your goals and control your own destiny. As the evening progressed, those long awaited for diplomas were presented to each senior. One senior in particular, Mark Danielson, placed a big, juicy kiss on Ralph Messerli's cheek to show his gratitude and appreciation. This impromptu event left Ralph speechless and in shock for a few moments before he could continue handing out the rest of the diplomas. Class presidents Milt Jackson and Brad Clements lead the class in switching their tassels which signified gradu- ation from high school. For the class of 1982, careers will be started, futures planned, and lives will be filled with happiness and new challenges. 1. Satisfaction glows on the face of Mike Septer as he receives his diploma from Bob Allison. 2. Chris Castle finds approval and support from proud par- ents. 3. Kim Crawford adjusts Mary Rowe's collar to perfection just before graduation exercises. 4. Ranita Rehkoff, Jeff Reneker, Renee Melcher, and Ray Messer display mixed emotions over speaker Norm Sandler's address. 5. Stressing the point of building a strong foundation of knowledge is senior speaker Alison Herzog. 6. “We're on our own now, confidently express Jane Bender and Lori McClain. 7. Norm Sandler nostalgically recalls his own high school days before the class of '82. GRADUATION ENGLISH 1 - A hush falls over the courtroom as a fore- man approaches the bench. He announces: The jury finds MacBeth - not guilty! Mrs. Pettit's British Literature class re-en- acted the traditional trial of Macbeth with a few new twists. One recent contribution was a blood-splattered pillow case present- ed as evidence by prosecuting attorney Jeff Whitney. Students will long remember a variety of unidentified flying objects on the 300 mile trip to Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis. The group departed at 4:00 a.m. to view a marvelous rendition of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Solar energy, violence, and cosmetology were a few topics sophomores chose for their research papers. Students spent deso- late hours thumbing through card catalogs, numbering footnotes, writing and rewrit- ing rough drafts. TUTORING Alot all teachers at Fairfield High School have a college degree in education; several students are teaching while they learn. Many students are involved in the reading lab program organized by William Broz. They have volunteered their first hour study hall to help fellow classmates better their reading skills. It's definitely not a one way street. Both the student teacher and the student pupil find it beneficial towards betterment of all read- ing skills. Higher grades to a better under- standing of class work are a couple of the accomplishments of the reading lab pro- gram. 32 1. Enjoying another of Mrs. Marker's stimulating lectures in Advanced Comp is senior snoozer Mike Septer. 2. Steve Nelson innovatively finds a way to make the work of research a little easier. 3. Brenda Brinkmeir gets a little extra help in reading from her faithful tutor Kim Crawford. 4. With a cackle and a cauldron, witches Stephanie Hall and Kristi Schmitter are sworn in to the trial of Macbeth by Amy Kessel. 5. Front row: J. Laux, K. Liblin, T. VanFleet, B. Bloomquist, Je. Holmes. 2nd row: A. Unkrich, S. Fitzsimmons, S. Hemm, K. Crawford, K. Hill, R. Helmick. 3rd row: Deb Griffin, K. Hanshaw, C. Snyder, T. Oakes. Back row: B. Clements, D. Galligan, M. Jackson. 6. Writing Lab II demands much research, which Darin Mes- serli proves as he searches the SIRS for terrorism . 7. Capote, Carman, Cather sophomore Kevin Boyce uti- lizes the card catalog in his research for a term paper. 1. Fourth year Spanish student Bill Craber discovers that Bread of the Dean doesn't taste as bad as the name implies. 2. A fiesta breaks the monotony of reports, stories, and oral discussions for Spanish 4 students. 3. Doc Tree prepares his History students for his notorious quiz on Friday. 4. The mysteries of the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire raised several questions from John Roush in Mr. Schrum's History II class. 5. Carmen Junez brings a piece of Yugoslavia to Fairfield. 6. Amy Kessel models a kimono during Sociology class while learning about the cultures of Japan. SOCIAL STUDIES Curiosity and learning go hand in hand in the social studies department where curious students learn not only the history of the countries, but also explore answers to such questions as, Who am I? Each student is required to take two semesters of American History, one semester of Government and one semester of either Western Civilization or World Cultures. In addition, students may also choose to take Economics, Sociology, An- thropology, or Psychology. Frustration as well as exhileration are two com- mon emotions found in the classrooms. This is especially true during such simulations as the trial of King Louis, experiencing the rise and fall of the stock market, and making decisions for a fictitious country in an arms race. These activi- ties enabled students to act out and understand the feelings of the people during the time under study. Films such as Animal Farm, Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, and The Golden Years were also viewed by the students. FOREIGN LANGUAGE As in a scene from a horror movie, skulls deco- rated the room. The scalding brew accompanied the ceremonial bread. But instead of eerie music floating through the background, lively Spanish songs sounded throughout the room. This isn't Frankenstein in Mexico . it's the Spanish stu- dents celebrating The Day of the Dead. This is only one of the several holidays celebrated throughout the year by Spanish students. The favorite holiday in both Spanish and French is Christmas. The thought of eating tacos, churros, or crepes and chocolate mousse could make the scale jump for anyone. French 3 and 4 students also arranged a suprise going away party for classmate Carmen Junez, foreign exchange stu- dent from Yugoslavia. Of course, eating isn't the only thing foreign language students do all year. They must also learn to speak, read and write the language correctly and to study the customs of the country. ■ fer-. k f v. 1.

Karen Hill has the sweet job of filling candy shelves at Ben Franklin. 6. As a Walker's employee, Kierston Kinsella executes various business related tasks. 7. Jefferson County Hospital; may I help you? asks Linda Diets in her secretarial job. students who start class at 7:30 A.M. In the class- room they are treated as if they were on the job. Mrs. Wells, their instructor, discusses with them their jobs and its problems. They are taught how to be better people on the job. Preparing for the future is also a part of the class. C.O.E. members can be found in the afternoons working at businesses from Pizza Hut to Duke's Yamaha. At work they continue to learn to be better employees. OK If you peeked into Mrs. Goudy's room at 7:30 in the morning you would find eleven eager-to- learn faces. Discussing their jobs and its prob- lems, learning office skills, and dealing with hu- man relations on the job, are just a few of the things an O.E. member encounters at this early hour. One o'clock finds all eleven employees in the job world. The hospital, DOT, and Sears are a few of the various offices these O.E. members are employed in. On the job they are trained in different areas of office work. A highlight of competing at contests in March helps all the hard work pay-off. 37 MAT 11 Concentration + dedication - frustration = Ac- complishment is an equation often found lurk- ing behind math books and swimming through students' heads. Seven mathematics courses are offered with one full year of math required. Stu- dents choose their classes depending on their post-high school plans. Since today's world seems to be centering more and more around computers, an Introduction to Computing course is offered to interested stu- dents. Those interested in a business career, or who may be entering vocations where the funda- mental operations of arithmetic and Algebra are essential, may choose Business Arithmetic or Practical Math. The remaining courses which are offered. Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, and Math Analysis, are strongly recommended to college bound students. Math may not be everyone's cup of tea, but with the variety of courses provided, most people should find something to suit them. SCIENCE The young chemists huddle around the boiling potion, eyes intently watching for any changes that may occur. Smoke oozes from the beaker, and as heat is applied a loud explosion followed by an unearthly smell erupts. This and other experiments like it sounded, and often times were, time-consuming and difficult. Chemistry I and II students combined tedious labs with sound classroom activities to give them an op- portunity to gain valuable chemistry exper- iences. For those interested in the field of medicine or health. Anatomy and Physiology challenged stu- dents to hands on experiences with fetal pigs and many life-like models. A course required for all sophomores was either Modern Biology or Liv- ing Things. These courses also involved the stu- dent with actual frog dissection and other labs. Physics enabled students to learn the principals and laws of man and the world they live in. 1. Biology teacher, Don Cummings, shows off his frog smarts while he aids students in frog dissection. 2. Chemistry 1 students find it necessary to relax before a hard day of studying chemicals and equations with Ms. Lemke. 3. The economic crush and a limited number of computers brings Scott Bailey in after school to develop his program. 4. Amy Fulton learns that rulers and compasses are essential in Geometry class. 5. Brian Weber and Barry Ward discover the world of Dr. Jeckyl and Dr. Frankenstein in chemistry lab. 6. Reviving Recesitator Annie are anatomy students Kaye Ward and Brian Smith. INDUSTRIAL ARTS Tunnel vision has a bad effect on people enterint the east door of the high school; it seems to lead them straight ahead into the gym to watch wres- tling and basketball games. However, if they de- veloped field vision, students would glance left and discover the Industrial Arts rooms. Paul Franklin, head of the department, ex- plained, We have a good program with interest in all areas of the Industrial Arts field. Auto Mechanics, Drafting and Small Engines are a few of the classes offered that provide building opportunities for an array of projects. Franklin also added that the program involves both boys and girls. V ITTO MECHANICS To an ordinary layman, the mechanics of a car seems to be a confusing mess of wires, hoses, and screws, but to a knowledgeable mechanic an engine is a masterpiece wherein each hose and wire is connected to carry out its own specific function. Auto Mechanics provided a student with the background necessary to become a full- fledged doctor of mechanics. Vocational Auto Mechanics, which is a three hour course, re- quired students to become employed by one of the area garages for one full week. This gave them some extra experience that they wouldn't ordinarily get in school. 1. Diagnosing an auto ailment are Tom Palmer, Mike Os- born, and Kenny McCabe. 2. Spice cabinets become a challenging project for Everett Lacey and Curtis Chase. 3. Perfecting his skills on a new lathe is Tim Messer in General Metals. 4. Getting this car in tip-top condition with an engine tune- up are Marvin Thacker and Carlos Cline. 5.

VO-AG The year is 1982; the place is America. Gas prices sail, dates become a dutch treat at McDonalds, and the farmer finds it hard to put food on our table. Through the Vo-Ag courses offered, the student is given the chance to learn about agri- culture and the life of a farmer. Under the direc- tion of Kieth Wells, the young farmer started his career his freshman year with Vo-Ag 1 and con- tinued to his senior year with Vo-Ag IV. Planting crops and testing them, studying live- stock in the textbook as well as in the barnyard, prepare the student for the world of farming and agriculture. The actual raising of some sort of livestock is a requirement for the vocational agriculture class. While raising this animal, the student is able to learn and apply his techniques. So it seems if our stomachs are to remain happy there must be an American farmer. HOME EC The smell of freshly baked cookies, the sight of new spring fashions, and learning of the devel- oping child all come to mind when the word Home Economics is mentioned. A well-devel- oped home ec. program offered a variety of classes ranging from Food Nutrition to Home Interiors. Breaking the ties from Mom and Dad, students learned such tasks as how to darn a sock or how to prepare an elegant gourmet dinner in the In- dependent Living course. The Home Interiors course allowed the student to dream about and plan their future house. A student planning to major in Interior Decorating found this class very useful. Many Home-Ec classes took field trips and listened to outside speakers. The Child Development class even held their own pres- chool where several 4 year olds came and joined the class. These experiences were all excellent teaching devices. 1. Keith Rich constructs a dinnertable fit for a cow. 2. The technique of pole bending is taught by Vo-Ag instruc- tor Keith Wells. 3. Muscle man Johh Roush tries his hand at pole-bending. 4. Tom Pickering knows it takes concentration and a good eye to make a perfect hole. 5. Doris Hutton helps a preschooler master the difference between quarters and nickels in Child Development. 6. Driver's Ed instructor Dixie Simpson informs preschoolers on proper driving techniques. 7. Experiencing all the ups and downs of working with a sewing machine is Bill Mathias in Independent Living. BUSINESS Variety-it's the spice of life. The business depart- ment offers an assortment of classes to benefit and spice all students' schedules. Trying to keep up with a fast-talking teacher giving notes can be a real hassle. Shorthand is a skill that would come in handy for many students. With the abundance of machines being used today in al- most every business, a course teaching how to run these various metal monsters-such as Busi- ness Machines-would be a help to anyone pursu- ing the job market. An important, but often overlooked, college prep class is typing. Know- ing the proper form for typing reports, composi- tions and manuscripts, and being able to do it quickly is an important step toward conquering college. FINE ARTS Railroad crossings won't be flashing, but watch out for the train when mailing a letter at the Fairfield Post Office. Two high school students, under the direction of Robert Glocke, spent many hours constructing a detailed 10 foot mural of a train. However, not all students spent their time on such a major project as this. Along with the traditional watercolors and weekly sketches, many art students challenged themselves with the intricacies of silk-screening and the not so delicate art of welding. The con- temporary style of photographic art appealed to several. Students experimented with basic pho- tography and advanced to the more sophisticated methods of solarization and high contrast codo- lith. Another form of art many students enjoyed was the art of music. From early operettas to modern day musicals, Russ Goode!I guided his Music Ap- plication class through many decades of music and song covering classical to jazz. 1.

Ground, sticks, ground, sticks, ground, sticks - hit! This call of the center forward beckoned many a player on the field at the start of field hockey games in girls'phys-ed classes. While the girls were dribbling out of and into mud puddles, the boys were ruthlessly attacking one another in flag football. Many football dreams were ful- filled on the rutted practice field. Weightlifting was accompanied by strained moans and stretched muscles of both boys' and girls' phys-ed classes. DRIVERS ED Adrenaline flows, nerves shake, and fingers numb — the anticipation has ended, and sopho- mores finally have their driver's license. Drivers' Education students endured an accumulation of six hours behind the wheel and thirty hours in the classroom to obtain the long awaited for rec- tangle of plastic. Simulators educated students in proper driving techniques by providing such experiences as a quiet ride through the country and the various hazards of downtown Chicago driving. In addi- tion, sophomores relished over numerous acci- dents at the hand of a broken simulator. Though instructors Herb Justmann and Curt Hanson did not inform their students how to scoop the loop or cruise the Hut, it's almost assured that skill will be mastered shortly after each semester. STUDY HAUL ZZZZZZZ a silent lull settles over the cafete- ria as a bell signals the beginning of class; study hall has commenced. Study halls are used for a variety of activities ranging from actual study- ing to playing catch up on those much needed Z's.

The Tro- janettes went 14-21 for the seasonal play, while the conference record was 9-11. One of the highlights of the season for the Tro- janettes was playing a double-double header with Osky. The Trojanettes won 3 of the 4 games in the hot July sun. Senior Pam Craff led the team in batting with .359. Soph Amy Kessel held the second spot with a .287, while Freshmen Jenny Herzog and Dina Holst rounded off the top four plate leaders with a .276 and .268 respectively. Shortshop Craff had an outstanding season re- ceiving many top honors. Not only did she lead the Trojanettes in batting, she also was the only player for Fairfield to make first team All Con- ference. In addition Craff received special men- tion at the state level. Coach Bob Bradfield pre- sented Pam with the honor of team MVP. Coach Bradfield presented Senior Janice Nelson with the Coach's Award. Kessel and Holst re- ceived Honorable Mention from the S.E. 7 league coaches. The players expressed an over all feeling that the season could have been better. To help shake this feeling in the latter part of the season the Her- zogs played host to the team for a pizza party. The party didn't crack the monotony of the long season, but it was a fun event. A rather large JV team was only able to run their season record to 9-8-1. Coach Green stated the girls worked well as a unit. They used a team effort to add to their learning experiences. 1.

Junior slugger Jon Neil is at the plate with a two ball-two strike count. The Mt. Pleasant pitcher winds up and delivers; Neil swings, connects and drives the ball into left-center field for a clean base hit. The runners on second and third both score and the Trojans go ahead 2-6. This base hit gave Jon his 30th RBI of the season and the school record for Runs-Batted-In while aiding him to become team MVP and all-confer- ence third baseman. Neil led the team with a .329 batting average, followed by Todd Freeman; .287, and Barry Led- ger; .272. Juniors Mark Heston and Chris Castle were the mainstays of the pitching staff. Seniors Barry Ledger, Todd Freeman, and Mark Wormley added stability to a young Trojan team that had only two returning lettermen. In Coach Jim Peterson's last season, the inexperienced Trojans achieved a 14-15 record overall, and a 9- 11 conference record. Assistant Coach Don Cum- mings will take over the top job next season. 1. Front row: J. Neil, S. McWhirter, C. Hutton, R. Messer, B. Fronzak. 2nd row: T. Freeman, B. Weber, G. Baumann, B. Holst, G.

According to head coach Pearl Smith, the Fairfield Trojans played the toughest schedule in the history of FHS. WAY TO GO TROJANS! 1.

Once again the curse of the State Playoffs hit the Tro- jans as they fell in the first round to C.R. Prairie in the closing seconds, 7-0. All-State receiver Milton Jackson sparked the offense and received MVP honors and shared the Brad Wickliff 110% award with Senior fullback Frank Fritz. advice and encouragement. 5.

Quarterback Darin Gilpin's voice echoed this familiar chant at the beginning of sopho- more football games. The young Trojans com- piled a 4-3 record handing losses to Ft. Madison, Centerville, Keokuk, and rival Mt. Pleasant. The Trojans had hoped to face Washington this year, but that game was cancelled due to rain. A well-balanced ariel and ground attack comple- mented the sophomore team. Chong Kwak was top producer on the ground as Gilpin and side- kick Terrance Jackson connected on many fine passes. Both offensive and defensive units gave opposing teams multiple problems through ex- cellent protection and tackles. 1.

All in all, even the six mile sprint'and various memories one gains from the season add to the sport of cross country. Obviously, the fun times standout in their minds along with inside jokes that grew throughout the season. Although they laugh now, the guys still remember times when the huge hill at Chauta- qua was not something to jeer at. No one regrets, however, the hard work and super friends made during the season. One special person the team will never forget is Coach Roger McHone. Girls Looking back on the girls' cross country season, one sees a season full of challenges and achievements. Certainly their ultimate accomplishment came at the closing of the year when they qualified five girls for the state meet. Susan Vaughn, Lisa Allen, Jean Arndt, Dianne Jackson, and Susan Fitzsimmons represented the squad at state. The team was proud to be the first Trojanette squad to advance to state since the class system was introduced. A second place conference finish was another fine feat ac- complished by the girls. The key to their success was the well-balanced talent all nine girls displayed. The team com- ment toward the season was, We couldn't have done it without Dose. 1. Front row: S. Fitzsimmons, J.

The outstanding matmen achieved an overall record of 7-2 while landing a 5-0 conference record including the conference championship. In addition, they finished 1st at the Ottumwa Invitational Tournament, 2nd at the Quadrangular meet in Iowa City, and 3rd in the conference tournament. The Trojans were especially dominant in the middle weights where senior Brad Clements (155 lbs.), junior Darin Messerli (132 lbs.), and junior Steve Crew (145 lbs.) all qualified for the state tournament. Senior Mike Keller led the team with 161 pts. and 20 pins followed by Clements with 133 pts. and 15 pins.

If you would only cooperate this wouldn't take so long, mutters Dave Bryan while wrestling with a Ford Madison opponent. Earning the privilege to play in the Ciris' State Basketball Tournament was certainly the high- light of the 1981-82 season. But although the Sweet 16 was the most memorable experience, the 19-0 regular season record was impressive and worthy of the undefeatable reputation the girls acquired. Capturing the Southeast Seven conference crown has become a tradition for the fearless Fairfield team as they were named champs for the seventh straight year. All the records, glory, and accomplishments did not come easy; howev- er, it can be attributed to the excellent quickness, player depth, consistency, and team balance the Trojanettes possessed. These talents proved suc- cessful as the girls scored an average of 76.9 points per game while giving up a mere 48.7 points. Obviously, this Trojanette squad was a little more than most teams could handle. Lead- ing the tenacious defense was Alison Herzog, Laura Stump, and Joni Clements while Jill Stump, Lori Lowenberg, and Julie Litton poured in points on the other half of the floor. Four of the starting varsity players, Julie Litton, Laura Stump, Joni Clements, and Jill Stump were selected as first team All Conference members while Alison Herzog and Lori Lowenberg were chosen for the second team. A rare occurance honoring the team was the recipience of all- Tournament votes for every starting Trojanette. Litton and L. Stump received the combined MVP award. J. Stump and Herzog were named Outstanding Seniors, and Beth Robinson and Herzog were presented with the 100% award. Lowenberg was named both most improved and most consistent. 1.

Good ol' Fairfield Gymnasium is a cozy basketball floor; yet, somehow the awesome size and seating of Veteran's Auditorium can overwhelm a Fairfielder. For the Trojan- ettes, however, it was as if they were playing at home. Swarms of orange and black poured in to watch the girls play some of their finest basketball. Also, the players found the court to be less omnipotent than expected. The Trojanettes stunned crowds with their quickness, su- perb defense and overall confident hall handling. The first victorious battle against highly ranked Terri! came as no surprise; the girls won with a score of 69-61. The second victory was against Lake-View Auburn, a team that had come to the tournaments six of the past seven years. Al- though many outsiders concluded that Fairfield didn't have a prayer, the Troja net te fans knew differently. Spar- kle was the name of the game as Fairfield out-scored, out- hustled and out-classed the unconquerable girls from Lake View. Des Moines arose as the up-coming opponents, a squad that had sailed past every opposing team thus far. Against Des Moines Fast, the Trojanettes had a few inches and about six points more than they could handle falling at a respectable 81-75 score. Nevertheless, the girls played an excellent game leading most of the way until late in the second half. That was probably the championship game people mut- tered as they emptied the stands. The consolation game may have seemed like a letdown, but the Trojanettes played Guthrie Center with the intensity and style of a champion- ship team. After the final game, the players proudly walked across the now familiar floor to receive a well deserved first state trophy for Fairfield Fligh School. 1.

Coach Herb Justmann often expressed his basketball philosophy before upcoming games, and for the boys' team, it happened! The guys built an outstanding 20-4 record overall; also, they captured the conference championship by defeating rival Mt. Pleasant. Their conference standing was a strong 8-2 record. Helping to achieve this title was a balanced offense and consistent defense. The cagers averaged the highest offensive point total in the conference while allowing the fewest amount of points to be scored on them. Receiving MVP for the team was All-state guard Milt Jackson. Barry Holst was named team Cap- tain. Returning to lead a strong 1982-83 squad are Rob Angstead, Brian Weber, Rick Wilkin- son, Greg Sutton, Brian Fronczak, and Curt Hut- ton. 1.

These girls won the unofficial J.V. conference championship again allowing Fairfield to be the only recipient of this award. The J.V. cagers invaded basketball courts at home and away capturing a 14-4 record. The road to victory wasn't always easy with early morning and late evening practices, but these guys worked intently. The extra training was rewarded when the J.V. boys averaged 58.7 points per game and 31 offensive and defensive rebounds.

The latter was extra special because of the excitement of two different teams thinking they had won while anticipating the final score. Fairfield won the meet by a mere one point. The gymnasts set the school record with 63.4 points and set 3 records individually. Fairfield, for the first time, broke the nine barrier when Cindy Harrison scored a 9.1 in floor exercise and then Jenny Holmes received a 9.2 on the uneven parallel bars. The first Fairfielders to surpass 30 points in all-around scoring were Cindy Harri- son and Kaye Ward. Kaye currently holds the record at 31.0. Karen Mogged, then Diane Jack- son, bettered the vault school record. Jackson's score was an 8.9. Ward also set the balance beam record with an 8.3. In addition to scoring achievements, the girls collected numerous memories of routines, meets, and friendships. Diane Jackson and Lisa Crock- ett worked diligently for the truckface award by literally charging into the horse. Deb Goehr- ing won the Black Belt prize for the best karate chop. Also, the expression on Kaye Ward's face at 5:30 in the morning is unforgettable. The gymnasts would have to agree that it was a season of accomplishments and remembrances. Nadia would have been proud. The Trojans had been leading the whole game but only by a narrow margin. The cagers couldn't afford to make a mistake. Then it hap- pened; a whistle blew, the foul was called, and the guilty Trojan raised his hand. Although this caused the team to fall behind and the crowd to die down, the cheerleaders didn't quit. They started an enthusiastic cheer which in turn brought the Trojan boosters to their feet. These encouraging chants gave pep to the Trojans, en- abling them to pull ahead and win the contest. Like the basketball squad, the cheerleaders dili- gently prepared for upcoming games. Hours were spent making locker decorations, planning pep rallies, and making hall posters which helped promote school spirit. Preparation for the school year began in August, when the cheer- leaders attended a camp at Iowa State University. 1. Varsity football Front Row: K. Crawford', C. Harrison, L Countryman, R.

Qirls Again it was a solid, balanced team, bellowed Bill Moore, a coach well-pleased with the entire season and the Trojanette squad. Proving this overall team skill, the girls won 10 of their 11 meets including the conference crown for the third year in a row. No other conference squad can claim this prestigious honor. In addition, four Trojanette runners achieved another spec- tacular accomplishment by placing first in the distant medley relay at the state track meet. Amy Kessel, Julie Litton, Diane Jackson, and Joni Cle- ments expressed, We laughed; we couldn't be- lieve it! Coach Moore, Breen, and Hunerdosse presented awards at the year-endpotluck banquet and also recapped certain meets and races. Named co-cap- tains for this year's squad were Julie Litton and Laura Stump, while Diane Jackson and Zena Howard were named 100% winners. Joni Cle- ments received the most points award and shared MVP glories with Amy Kessel. Boys When the 1982 boys' track season got underway, coaches and participants were optimistic for a good season. The boys weren't rated to place well in many meets; in fact, they were definite under- dogs through the majority of their season. How- ever, a change in workout styles and more dedi- cated committments by the guys helped create a detour to the lane of success. This road of success included winning or placing high in numerous relays and important meets. The Trojans, for example, won the Big Red Re- lays, took second in the Gordon S. Brookhart Relays, and with the girls' squad, shared the combined title in the Brookhart Relays. Captur- ing the conference championship in a tight bat- tle with rival Ft. Madison stood as the main triumph in the Trojan's track season. Senior Milt Jackson greatly contributed in meets including a sixth place finish in the 400 meter dash at the boys' state track meet. Jackson's efforts helped distinguish him as the team's MVP. Co-captains for the season were Grant Baumann, Brad Clements, and Milt Jackson. 1. A ward winner Milt Jackson is ready to claim a victory in the 400 meter dash. 2. The less glamourous side of track is exemplified on the face of Diane Jackson. 3.

However, the girls braved these elements to build a hardy 7-2 record. The team also added icing to the cake by capturing the conference title over a strong Keokuk team. The mighty Trojanettes were led by top players Julie Kinsella, Jackie Holmes, Dina Holst, and Jenny Holmes. Kinsella and Holst teamed up to play number one doubles and won the right to play at the district level by placing second in the sectional meet. The Holmes duo also fared well at sectionals as they brought home a third place finish, and also ended the year with the top doubles record for the team (11-3). The Troian netmen completed the 1982 season with a dual record of 4-6. Highlighting the year was Chris Castle, who won the singles division at districts and earned the right to play at state for the second straight year. The netmen fin- ished third in the conference with the highest honors going to Todd Workman with a second place. The other varsity players included: Cas- tle, Darin Gilpin, Rob Angstead, Brian Weber, Todd Workman, and Brian Hampton. Even though the year didn't develop into a winning season, it was a learning experience for the young team. The only senior leaving will be Castle, and as Coach Mike Schenck put it, The outlook for next year appears to be healthy. 1. Jackie Holmes completes a fake poach shot. 2. Sophomore Darin Gilpin returns the ball with a fore- hand smash. 3. Number one doubles duo Kinsella and Holst completed an outstanding season by placing third at districts. 4. Senior Chris Castle was the key player for the Fairfield netmen. 5. Junior Jenny Holmes concentrates on her shot. 81 Mark Danielson Rob Higgins y Butch Miner Greg Sutton Bud Ward Kevin Keeley The 1982 golf team completed a season of ups and downs characterized by several one stroke victo- ries and losses. However, the overall feeling golfers possessed was one of satisfaction and ac- complishment. The team compiled a regular sea- son record of 6 - 3, missing the conference title by only one stroke. Junior Barry Ward fired a one under par 69 to take second place individual- ly. Fairfield linksmen also placed second to Ot- tumwa at District competition, both teams ad- vancing to state. At Veenker Golf Course in Ames, senior standout Rob Higgins put together four good rounds to capture the class 4-A indi- vidual title by one stroke over Mike Evens of Newton. As a whole, the team made a comeback from the first day slump and placed 6th. Retiring only two seniors, Higgins and Mark Danielson, varsity lettermen Barry Ward, Kevin Keely, Butch Minor, Greg Sutton, and Allen Nelson will return to lead a strong experienced team next year. 1. Slate medalist Rob Higgins puts ample force behind his shot. 2. Junior Bud Ward executes another fine putt. 3. With a mighty stroke of the club, Butch Miner attempts a hole-in-one. 4. Senior Mark Danielson demonstrates proper form. 5. Practicing his putting is sophomore Kevin Keeley. 83 1981 Keys' Cross Country Cardinal Pekin Blakesburg Cardinal Oskaloosa Inv. Fairfield Inv. Ft.

The majorette's shrill whistle brings the marchers quickly onto the usually muddy field. The introduction crack- les from the loudspeaker, and the instruments are raised for Action Fanfare . The musicians hope they're in step and that they will remember what yard line to stop on as they strut down field to their opening number. Thoughts quickly re- flect on which way to turn and how many steps to take to get to the next formation. The musical notes float over the packed stadium as the band's routines and formations begin to flow smoothly together. Still smiling from the applause received after the last song, the band jogs happily off the field to a fast cadence. The musicians mop their wet foreheads and sigh with relief as another half-time performance fades into a memory. Weeks later thoughts turn to new music, chair challenges, and the cramped band room, as the concert season gets underway. 1. Oom-pa-pa's ooze out of Todd Shan nan’s tuba as he po- lishes up on a Pops Concert selection. 2. The Christmas concerts own drummer boy”, Robbie Hig- gins, cheerfully taps out a driving rhythm on his snare. 3. Cheering on the Trojans to victory, the band relaxes after a successful half-time show. 4. The pep bands' rendition of Hogan's Heroes became a familiar sound at winter sports contests. 5. Left-right, left-right. The band briskly moves out for an early Monday morning rehearsal. 6. Warming up is an important element of any successful concert band rehearsal. Many species of birds head south for the winter, but a flock of band members migrated west for the summer with the twirlers leading the forma- tion. Along with the band the girls marched in hundred degree weather, but that didn't bother the Iowa girls. Memories developed as the four- some marched down the main streets of Disney- land and Knott's Berry Farm where an interna- tional congregation viewed and snapped pictures of the girls. Travelling to Phoenix, Arizona, the twirlers marched with the band in the International Lion's Parade. Thousands of people lined the streets to watch the twirlers take third place in overall competition. During the school year, the girls added spark and excitement to half-time shows of football and basketball games. Also, the twirlers served as ushers at music concerts, as well as participating in fund raisers. Fame, I'm going to live forever ... This was an adequate theme for the Pompom squad as they were on the go from the year's start to finish. The season began with the girls present- ing routines at Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm. Once home from the exciting yet sun- burning experience, the squad busied themselves earning money by holding car washes and pop- corn sales. Eight pomponers attended a camp in Ames where they learned various dance moves and techniques. The girls practiced nights as a squad and also with the marching band preparing routines for football half-time shows and basketball games. In December the squad travelled to Des Moines to execute their style and abilities. A few mem- bers ventured towards performing individual routines in Miss Iowa Drill Team competition, thus exemplifying it takes more than jumps and smiles to be a pompon girl. 1. Front row: Z. Howard. 2nd row: S. Manning, J. Wadle. Back row: S. Bush. 2. Keeping an eye on her work, Janet Wadte twirls during half-time at a boys' basketball game. 3.

The Christ- mas, Pops, and Spring concerts were just three events where their music could be enjoyed. Di- rector Russel Goodell conducted students in songs such as Jingle Bells Through the Ages, Fame, Endless Love, and They're Playing Our Song, in performances this year. Choir members, making up two quartets, went to district All-State tryouts in Iowa City. Although only junior Jeff Shepherd was chosen, all bene- fited greatly from the experience, helping to im- prove their musicianship and performance skills. Eleven people stand grouped together, knees knocking and palms sweating. They reminisce over grueling hours of practice in preparation for this moment of truth. Through rigorous tryouts vocalists were chosen for chamber sing- ers on the basis of quality, diction, rythm and intonation by director Russ Goodell. Students harmonized and became early birds as practices were held at what seemed to be the crack of dawn. This unique ensemble performed a variety of classical and contemporary styles for local or- ganizations, the public, and graduation. No- where else in the music department can a young vocalist master such a variation of music. 1. Intense concentration is displayed on the faces of many choir members as they prepare for the Pops concert in Febru- ary- 2.

Soon warm-up notes begin to fill the bustling room. A signal for silence is given, and one-by-one the instruments are tuned. The first song starts awkardly. But soon lips are warmed, and the rocking notes of Amigo or Boss Talk burst. Jazz band participants, chosen by auditions early in the year, had set alarms ahead one hour on Tuesday and Thursday mornings to rehearse for upcoming performances. The group remembers cramming onto a very small stage at the VFW where they had their first performance of the year. Showing their stuff under the bright stage lights at the Pops Concert and band carnival Family Feud game, the musicians rendered such tunes as Gospel John and Satin Doll . The mellow sounds of I Don't Want to Walk With- out You echoed off the auditorium walls when the ensemble played for Torch Club in March. Although the notes and song titles will soon be forgotten, the friendships that were formed be- tween jazz band members will always be remem- bered. Music contest — the long hours of practice accu- mulate into a few short minutes of performance then blend into memories of an exciting and sometimes disappointing day. The crunching of Doritos and the slurping of Mountain Dew mixed with laughter and chatter as the bus load of musicians made its way to Ft. Madison. Once off the bus instrument cases and coats were stashed in a gym still displaying a roster of Fair- field names from the previous basketball battle. Contestants scattered to locate contest centers, and after countless glances at the clock in a hol- low sounding practice room, the musicians en- tered the performance rooms. Adjusting the icy cold music stand, contestants glanced hopefully at the judge and clusters of supportive friends. When the signal to commence was given, the room throbbed with music that had been re- hearsed for so long. Knees shook and stomachs knotted, but at last it was over. Once outside the chamber, nerves relaxed and friends compli- mented one another. However, no matter what the rating, the participants knew they were not only better musicians for experiencing contest, but better rounded individuals.

This motto of the Fairfield High School Thespi- an Society served as its guiding ideal throughout the year. Working in conjunction with the dra- ma club, the Thespian troupe helped with pro- ductions and fund-raisers. The group ended its year of activities with an initiation banquet at the Stever House. After the meal ten new initi- ates were inducted into the group following the initiation. President Alison Herzog, Vice Presi- dent Brian Smith, and Secretary Becky Sloca were succeeded by a newly elected slate of offi- cers. There's no business like show business ... Although the worn, gray, aisle runners and faded red curtains in the auditorium are a far cry from broadway theater. Drama Club members strived all year to put on two top-notch perfor- mances. Most of the club's activities centered around the fall and spring productions. Whether it was making audition posters, slapping paint on a flat, or memorizing lines for a lead role, drama club members worked diligently both on stage and off. In addition to production prepara- tions, club members spent a November day at the Iowa City drama conference. The outing was highlighted with the production Morning's at Seven at Hancher that night. Bright orange cal- endars, candy bowls, M M's, and KMCD cook- ing school bags bring back memories of fund raising efforts taken on by the club. The year- end finale of the club's activities was a pot-luck at Chautauqua Park, with food, awards, and a vicious game of volleyball. To receive a top rating in drama contest, ever- ything must be perfect- timing, characterization, voice, make-up, and movement. Gary Shute mas- tered this reel of demands and brought home a Division I rating from state contest for his solo mime. All entries captured one ratings at the district level, but at state, however, Shute was the sole recipient of this much sought-after award. A group mime entry consisting of La Dawn Smith, Susan Aistrope, Andrea Riggs, and Liz Mond- loch aquired a Division II rating at state. Their original, humorous selection, No Peace in the Park , appealed to local audiences as the girls performed for many functions. The Readers' Theatre group adapted the short story Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut and also received a Division II score at state. The anticipation felt before ratings are posted is unbearable; this con- test was no exception. This time, though, the person that relieved or grieved the minds of con- testants was 4'2 and wore a denim hat with a visible sign proclaiming Ask me- I know! _ With the flash of a hand and the pull of a shirt, world famous magician Doug Henning actually removed the shirt off a male audience member's back. An abracadabra and a sweep of his palms produced a dozen roses and two doves. The eyes of many Fairfielders, including Speaker's Club members, caught a glimpse of Doug Henning and his mystical feats during a reception held at the Fairfield Country Club for Henning and his fiancee Debbie Douillard. Highlighting the year for Mrs. Pettit and her troupe was a word dance performance to the music of Celebration at this reception. Early in the morning or after school orators could be found in room 108 practicing speeches until their voices cracked. These rehearsals paid off when contestants went to district speech con- test and received 24 division I ratings and 6 divi- sion II ratings. At state speech contest their win- ning record continued with 20 members receiv- ing division I ratings and 4 receiving division II ratings in competition with 1100 other students from southeast Iowa. Members Alison Herzog, Carolyn Stanley, Jeff Whitney, and Rob Kincaid were nominated outstanding in their categories of public address, original oratory, and radio news announcing, and traveled to Cedar Falls to participate on the State Speech Festival. Venturing to Iowa City in April, the club shiv- ered through a blood chilling performance of Sweeney Todd at Hancher auditorium. They also enjoyed the delicious taste of pasta at Apple- gates Landing. To finish the year, the club held their annual awards banquet where all members received awards both humorous and prestigious. Featured speakers Mary Wittmer, Peggy Eshel- man, and Rob Kincaid commented on the year's events helping to wrap up a fine and exciting speech season. 1. Front row: B. Graber, R. Allison, M.

Teresa Brown and Bob Gurney find something amusing from the new contact sheets just printed by photographer Brian Peaslee. With an exception of an occassional blizzard, room 106 found Monday nights buzzing with commotion. Quill editors and staff members spent many hours designing layouts, writing and rewriting copy, and finalizing pages. To help finance the yearbook, the Business staff as well as other staff members sold ads to many Trojan boosters throughout the community. Staff members enjoyed a juicy barbeque at Dian Marker's house early in the year. The delicious caramel corn and chocolate chip cookies were gone before the hot dogs and hamburgers even made it to the grill. A Christmas party at Brian Peaslee's house was a welcome break from the monotony of snowstorms and cropping pictures. Eight large sausage and pepperoni pizzas proved to be more than the staff could handle! Barb Stanley posed as Santa Claus and handed out gag gifts exchanged by staff members. An event ev- eryone looked forward to was the annual Quill and Troy Banner picnic where the Banner chal- lenged the Quill staff to a softball game. Being on Quill staff gave people an opportunity to be involved in the production of a book full of high school friends and memories. It's not often high school journalists get to attend press conferences with professional reporters; however, Troy Banner editors Francie Horras and Rob Kincaid, had the •opportune education- al experiences of working with pros when they interviewed Doug Henning and his fiancee, Debbie Douliard. Doug Henning's wedding well topped the list of exciting events for the Troy Banner staff as they faced many challenges and occurrences. Editors and typists prepared for the publication of the Banner by typing stories into the ledger computers and assembling the paper. The editors completed these final stages at the Ledger office where many long hours were spent in producing the highly rated paper. Through all this hustle and bustle to meet dead- lines, even the most professional journalists take time out for play. Games and contest highlighted a Halloween Party at Mary Pettit's house. Over Christmas break the staff traveled to Iowa City for dinner at the Iowa River Light and Power. % toy 3 yicA Waking up every morning with the sound of pitter patter outside the window made some 40 Quill and Troy banner staff members wonder for a week, Will we have our annual Quill Scroll picnic? When the designated day arrived the group enjoyed a scrumptious feast of hot dogs, chips, and beans. After each person had filled his stomach to the point of moving no further than the closest chair, the initiation of new Quill Scroll members began. Following the ceremony, the battle for winning the honor of the softball title began. Between pitches, steals, and runs, players lounged on park benches in center field, wrestled on the pitcher's mound, and chased an elusive ball into neck high weeds. Mumbled voices mingle in the suspense-filled atmosphere as students filter into a quiet audito- rium. A hush blankets over the crowd as lights are dimmed to allow parents, of soon to be mem- bers, to enter incognito. The red curtain parts to expose the elite members of the National Honor Society, members who have displayed the princi- ples of leadership, scholarship, service, and char- acter on which this organization was founded. All teachers vote on eligible students, and then a special faculty committee nominates and selects people to be initiated in two annual ceremonies. President Milt Jackson gave special recognition to Gordon Brookhart during the spring ceremo- ny. 1. Quill and Scroll Members - Front Row: A. Herzog, F. Horras, Ja. Holmes, back Row: C. Stanley, B.

A barn warm- ing dance kicked off the year crowning Senior Laura Swafford as F.F.A. queen. As part of their money making projects, they served faculty and staff members a delicious hot breakfast of pan- cakes, and coffee. The annual F.F.A. fruit sale added grapefruit and oranges to the sack lunches of many teachers and students. Many of the F.F.A.ers also participated in giving presentations at sub-district competition. Presi- dent Bill Goerhing advanced to districts, while Tom Gerleman, Paul Craff, and Jean Ann Lacey ventured on to state competition. In a world of me, me, me, it's often refreshing to find an organization centered around the family unit. The Future Homemakers of America em- phasizes personal growth, stressing value clarifi- cation and decision making. During the school year, F.H.A. was involved in numerous activities that benefited scores of people in the Fairfield area. During the Christmas season the F.H.A. members visited the county home to pass on some of their exuberance to the residents by playing bingo with them. During the week be- fore the Sweetheart Dance, the members sold carnations as one of their fund raising projects to finance their many events. The selling of carna- tions was as much fun as work and many stu- dents bought and sent flowers to others anony- mously. 1. Modeling the latest in international machinery is Steve Nelson.

Rick Wilkinson, one of the salesmen for the major money making project in F.F.A., is pictured here preparing to go out and deliver the produce. 105 Wheels, Camp Sunny Side, and the Jefferson County Care Facility were among the groups supported by Tri-Hi-Y's primary goal was to help people either financially or socially. Pedal- ing dozens of candy bars, selling acrilics, and working at consession stands helped finance these main areas. The group spent Saturdays and evenings involv- ing themselves with the retarded citizens, pre- paring them for the special Olympics. Also many Tri-Hi-Y members visited residents at the nurs- ing homes or Jefferson County Care Facility. The club has sponsored Premila in India, sold Easter Lillies to raise money for the handicapped chil- dren and given money to the Gordon Brookhart Scholarship Fund. Tri-Hi- Y found that working with under-privileged people can be a very re- warding experience and offer much towards the growth of their responsibility and maturity. It's time for the big game; fans rush to buy tickets and find seats. A Trojan booster springs down the stairwell and into the gymnasium. Handing over a ticket, the sports enthusiast eagerly hurries past the financial managers who are all too often overlooked. Patiently taking tickets and stamping hands ol fans waiting to enter these club members are an important assett to many athletic contests. Mem- bers are given an activity ticket and can learn letters numerals and pins. The organization of- fered its members a chance to learn responsibilty with money and an opportunity to meet people. The rewards of friendly smiles often compensat- ed for stiff legs and sore feet. 1.

It only takes a spark, this spark has become a small eternal flame of fellowship for student fol- lowers of God. The Fellowship of Christian Ath- letes is a group that meets bi-monthly; many rap sessions were held in the library along with films, Bible studies, and guest speakers from the University of Iowa which enhanced F.C.A. gath- erings. After a defeat at selling Trojan notepads, Tammy Philips' team was urged to buy pizza for the victorious team coached by sister Brenda Philips. Two members got a taste of summer con- ference at a weekend retreat in Marshalltown, and a larger group is anticipating a week of fel- lowship in Minnesota at summer conference. Los Gringos is a club aimed at providing mem- bers with the knowledge needed when travelling to a Spanish country. Culture and fun combined as students took part in a number of Spanish holidays. Members also ventured to the Fiesta Cantina in Ottumwa where they had a chance to test their stomachs with some real Mexican deli- cacies. Hobos, clowns, dragons, and puppets don't be- lieve in smoking and neither do the members of INS. These outging nonsmokers spread the bad news of smoking to students in kindergarten through tenth grade. Besides a variety of enter- taining presentations, a poster contest was spon- sored by the club for 2nd graders, with prizes awarded to the best poster. The local club had the special privilege of being the only high school INS club in Iowa. The non-smokers were very fortunate to be able to give parts of their presen- tation in Ottumwa at a special INS seminar, once again spreading the bad news of smoking. Real- izing the lasting impact they had on many young minds, INS students can look back over the year with satisfaction. SSB.'d. 0. .A. Oi 1.

Distributing more pamphlets to busy shoppers is the INS dragon. After returning from a leadership camp at Estes- Park, Colorado, co-presidents Brad Clements and Milt Jackson began the school year using tech- niques learned to motivate and improve council- student body relations. The first major project tackled was Homecoming and all of its festivi- ties. After a week of fun and excitement, thoughts soon turned to gobble season when two paper turkeys were hidden on school grounds. Student Council awarded a 10 pound turkey to two super sleuths who came across the lonesome birds. Various assemblies were put on throughout the year including a presentation on birth defects and pregnancy and a delightful magic show. The second major event was the Sweetheart dance highlighted by the crowning of Sweet- heart Royalty. To end the year on a clean note, the council headed a pick up trash day where study halls were designated to various sites to help make FHS beautiful! Working 9 to 5 may be disliked by Dolly Parton, but to OEA students these hours are important to their future careers as secretaries, clerks, or ac- countants. The Office Education Association provided on the job training for those who have an interest in office-related fields. Early bird classes informed students of business life and allowed members to put this knowledge to action while working at local businesses in the after- noons. Many members used their office skills and com- peted in contests at regional, state, and national levels. Caylin Richardson and Linda Diers quali- fied for the OEA National Leadership Confer- ence held in Nashville, Tennessee, where they each placed seventh in their respective categor- ies. During a special OEA week, members treated their employers to breakfast. A special banquet was also held which included an alumni reunion and an OEA Van Buren exchange. 1.

Robbie has many fine victories under his belt; they include the Junior Amana V.I.P. three times, the local Insurance Tournament twice, and first place finish in the Fairfield Country Club Tourna- ment. Despite these and numerous other victo- ries, Robbie's most outstanding experience came when he qualified for the National Insur- ance Youth Classic last summer in Augusta, Georgia. He placed 32 out of 160 and remarked, Besides traveling around, having fun, and meeting new people, I've gained confidence and experience that will benefit me in the fu- ture. Aside from tht'se summer tournaments, Robbie has always been a leader on the school golf team and has lettered for four years. He was named all-S.E. 7 his freshman, junior, and sen- ior years and grabbed medalist honors at the conference tournament his junior year. Through the years Robbie has fine-tuned his skills to such a degree that he was recently recruited and accepted at the United States Militaryr Academy in West Point, Newr York.

While most teenagers have jobs carrying groceries or serving Big Macs, Carolyn and Eric each hold a very unique part-time job at the Vet Clinic. They arrive at the clinic about 7:30 each morning before school clad in worn overalls. As they open the door, they are greeted by the eager faces of cats and dogs peeking out from wire cages. They gently lift the animals out of their kennels, and, armed with paper towels and bottles of cleaner, proceed to clean the cages. While most mornings consist of cleaning and feeding the animals, occa- sionally they are asked to assist a vet when he's treating a patient. I still remember the time 1 got to help deliver puppies, commented Carolyn. Most people might view their job as dirty and even boring, but Carolyn and Eric see manv advantages to working part-time at the Vet Clinic. Carolyn remarked, I get to set my own hours, the people I work for are really nice, and it gives me the opportunity to learn about animals. Eric, who has plans to attend vet school, stated, The job will give me a good background for vet school and a general understanding of how vets go about different jobs. Carolyn and Eric have had many funny experiences. Carolyn still recalls a lady who sent cards to her cat who was sick and staying at the clinic. Eric chuckles as he tells of a black cat named Bo who was so viscious that he had to wear welding gloves to feed him. They both smile when recounting stories of their frantic efforts to recover loose animals. It is obvious to anyone watching them work that they both love animals. {Jeff Marty David Andrea Melody Zhoms Zhenias Zapping Unkrich Van A 1st Kevin (fretchen Waugh Wells Zodd Caura Mary White Whitten Wittmr Not Pictured John Apiara Charlene Fowler Bloomquist Tom Church Todd Clough Deb Davisson Don Galligan Curt Cordy Dan Helterbran Mark Heston Beth Jackson Don Kerr Bill Leazer Jane McCabe Tim Parker Cary Phipps Dawn Rodriquez Laura Whitham Ryan Scott Snyder Regan Stickels Marty Symmonds Rob VVagler Money Wolfe Cori Zaltn JunlfrM Rhonda Allison Jeff Anderson Rob Angstead Mary Bag by Scott Bailey- joy ce Barr Greg Baumann Lisa Bechtel Entertaining senior citizens at the Parkview Care Center is among the varied duties of Kristi Schmitter.

Kristi has many duties, working as an office per- sonnel receptionist, and passing out dinner trays to residents, feeding them if necessary. She also helps in the laundry room washing the residents' clothes and doing the facility's towels and linens. Kristi interacts with the patients by playing cards, taking phone messages, and placing calls for them. To add a bit of variety and fun to their day, she sometimes fixes their hair in new styles. Holidays are especially vibrant at the nursing home as they celebrate all special occasions. At Halloween, Kristi disguised herself with a mask and creeped into the patients' rooms, setting the spooky Halloween mood. Kristi's main goal is to comfort all the residents and give them a lot of TLC. In addition to her numerable duties, Kristi enjoys simply sitting and reminiscing with each resident. She helps accompany them to the hos- pital, and, when someone new arrives, she helps them around and explains procedures and rules. Once a week she instructs exercises such as eye- rollers, finger flexes, toe push-ups, and ear wig- gles. The results are often hilarious! After Kristi graduates, she plans to go to college and study computer maintenance. She's glad she's had the opportunity to work in this nurs- ing home because it makes her more aware of the problems faced by people when they are growing old. Kristi says, I understand life and its pur- pose better because of my work.

Dumploads Of Snow Spending vacation in three feet of snow, and 30 below temperatures isn't anyone's idea of a good time. Fairfield and surrounding communities had to continually call school off due to adverse weather conditions. Ice and snow covered roads made it impossible for buses to run their routes. The thrill of hearing the radio announcer call school off was soon gone. Little brothers and sisters, however, couldn't have been more ex- cited. To them it was more time for snowballs and cartoons. Some of the rest of us had to face reality. It could mean sweating over the books in July and the dreaded idea of Saturday classes. Everybody had a different feeling toward Satur- day classes. The most common reactions were having to miss Scooby-Doo, not getting those extra Saturday morning sleep-in hours, and only having a one day week-end.
