To put it simply, it is this book's theme. The decision to use it as the theme did not come easily. We wanted a theme that would remind the reader of the personal- ity and attitude of FHS throughout the school year. Although most students did not take their home- work lightly, they didn't let it slow them down either. They still took the time to enjoy other parts of high school life, such as getting involved in orga- nizations and athletics and going out with their friends on weekends. The students helped to create a very easygoing and relaxed atmosphere that made it fun to get an education. We decided that a student with his feet up on his desk would best represent our theme. We spent many hours in the library trying to put this idea into words, but everything we found either didn't fit our idea or sounded too much like a stale cliche to have any meaning at all. Because of this, we decided to use a real picture as our theme. And that is why the feet are on the cover. We are all very proud of FHS. I hope that this yearbook will help you to recall many fond memo- ries of Fairfield. 1. Studying for his semester finals is Brad Holst. 2. Sophomore Brent Bower takes off for a big drive. 3.

CANADA TRIP The Fairfield High School Trojan Band participat- ed in the Red River Exposition International Festival June 20-25, 1984. The exposition took place in Winnipeg, Manatoba, Canada, an 800 mile char- tered bus trip from Fairfield. It took three charter buses to haul the 111 musi- cians, and 12 chaperones on the trip. They compet- ed along with 18 other bands in concert competi- tion on Friday, field show competition on Saturday, and parade competition on Sunday. The band also had time to relax and enjoy several sightseeing trips. These included a visit to the Mod ern Museum of Man and Nature, swimming in the Pan Am Olympic Swimming Pool, attending horse races at Assiniboria Downs, having a meal at the Old Spaghetti Factory, going to the midway and grounds of the Red River Exposition site, and even- tually a chance to do some shopping in downtown Winnepeg, a city with a population of 580,000. I was very pleased with how the band conduct- ed itself; we did very well,” commented band direc- tor Ronald Prill. The band held many fund raisers to help finance the trip. In November 1983, band members braved below-freezing temperatures to sell coupon books door-to-door. On June 10, 1984, they participated in the dedication of the Jefferson County Park by marching in the sweltering heat from the Junior High to the park and provided music for those that attended the ceremony. Earlier in 1984, a basket- ball game featuring former Iowa Hawkeye Basket- ball players vs. Fairfield all-stars was arranged. The proceeds were later given to the band, which also provided music and spirit for the occasion. Other fund-raising events and the help and cooperation of the community helped to make the Canada trip a success. ENGLAND TRIP On June 1, 1984, twenty-six students and chaper- ones Mary Pettit and Dian Marker left the high school parking lot in a bus bound for Chicago's O'Hare airport to catch an overnight flight to Lon- don, England. The group spent ten days touring the cities and countryside of England and Scotland. The first two days were spent sightseeing in Lon- don. The most popular spot was probably the Ox- ford Street Shops because there appears to be end- less numbers of places to shop. Some students even went to Harrods, the exclusive department store that can supply almost every demand and where the Queen herself shops. The group was also taught how to ride the tube, London’s underground subway. Because it was very fast and inexpensive, many students rode it to see Picadilly Circus, the famous animated neon advertisements. The group also attended a Medieval dinner while they were in London. In the next several days the group toured Oxford University, Warwick Castle, Shakespeare's home and Anne Hatheway's cottage. While in Words- worth's and Coleridge’s Lake District, the group rented a boat to go out on the lake. In Edinburg, Scotland, they stopped at a woolen mill and had the opportunity to purchase Scottish kilts and wool sweaters. That evening, some of the group went to a disco to try out the European style of dancing. The next day they toured the city of Edinburgh and then went to a Scottish country dancing show. They watched and even participated in some of the traditional Scottish dances. On the return trip to London, they stopped at the city of York and visited the Roman wall built by Roman emperor, Hadrian. The group also visited Windsor, the Royal Family's weekend home. The Queen was in residence - her flag was flying - but no one was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of her. On the final day of the tour, the group visited Stonehenge on the Salisbury Plains and the Roman baths in the city of Bath. Pettit commented, “It was the opportunity of a lifetime for twenty-six stu- dents. 1. Before marching competition, Steve Septer, Jay Peaslee, Jamie Keiser and Randy Martin pose in front of one of the three chartered buses that were needed to haul the band to Canada. 2. Stopping for a snapshot in front of Parliament in downtown London are chaperones Dian Marker and Mary Pettit, Chris Stanley, Neil Johnston, Michele Clnkrich, Stephanie Potter, Janet Millane, Lori Smith, Karen Dooley and Ken Rowe. 3.

An evaluation is performed once every seven years by a team of teachers from across the state of Iowa. This team evaluates the entire school system from the subjects being taught to the building they are taught in. According to superintendent John Kelley, the NCA study is two pronged. First, the faculty evalu- ates themselves, and second, they are evaluated by their peers. Kelley concluded that it is a learning experience which allows the school to expand and develop. “The NCA membership forces us to be involved in a self study in which we reassess our objectives and measure what we are doing against our ulti- mate goals, said Mary Pettit, overall chairperson of the study. “The climax will be the visit of the North Central team when they evaluate the school. The NCA team was last here in 1976. At that time they recommended remodeling the science department and increasing the number of credits needed to graduate, both of which were implement- ed. Other major renovations included the expansion of the boys' gym, which once seated 900 and is now capable of seating 2,000. At this time girls’ and boys' locker rooms were also remodeled. Just re- cently the old girls' gym was split vertically and horizontally to form new vocal music, driver's edu- cation and wrestling rooms. This remodeling also allowed for expansion of the art and band rooms. Besides the major projects several smaller tasks were completed over the summer. New windows were put in for energy conservation; classrooms were painted, cracks replastered and floors were waxed. The final phase of the evaluation began Septem- ber 22, 1984, when NCA evaluators arrived to make observations. The three day study consisted of vis- its to classrooms, inspection of school facilities, talking with administration, teachers and students, and writing extensive reports on the findings. On the final day of the stay, evaluators addressed ad- ministrative officials and members of the Board of Education with concise oral reports concerning school activities program, plant facilities, finances, staff and curriculum. Marliyn Zwing, chairperson of the team, praised the community for giving such good support to the school. Another evaluator commended the basical- ly traditional but somewhat forward extracurricular program that covers a broad range of activities which appeal to everyone. Two months after the evaluation had been com- pleted, FHS received a final written report from the evaluation team. The report contained recommen- dations for change and improvement along with commendation remarks on subjects the evaluators felt were being done well. . Juniors Audra McWhirter and Jill Miner catch up on the latest gossip during prep period. 2. Opinion editor Kelly Ogden doesn 't seem too thrilled about posting Troy Banner assignments. 3. Ralph Messerli grins after being thrown into the hotel's swimming pool during the band's trip to Canada. 4. Taking a break from building their homecoming float are juniors Liza Freeman, Ted Kennedy, Laura Deutsch, Bill Kessel, Pam Horras and Sandy Hahn. 7 Hfe The 1984 General Election significantly marked United States history. New Yorker Geraldine Fer- raro became the first woman vice-presidential nomi- nee, and Ronald Reagan’s landslide victory, the lar- gest in history, made him the oldest president elect- ed to office. Record campaign expenditures and heated debates amused, irritated and baffled voters. Although voting rights extended to only a small percentage of high school students, many took an active part in the political process. State Senator Forrest Schwengels included youth in his campaign to represent the 32nd District. On November 6 students involved in 4-H telephoned local precinct results to the News Election Service. Republican candidates dominated the pre-elec- tion poll conducted by the Troy Banner. Student results matched the winning ticket in seven of the eight major races. The only miss came from the ethically questionable battle between Tom Harkin and Roger Jepsen. 1. Junior Kristi Holt grimaces as she removes make up after the fall play. 2. Staring into her locker, senior Angie Thacker hopes she has finished all of her homework. 3. Assistant principal Barry Green takes time off from his duties to show that he is still a kid at heart. 4. Cheerleaders Cari Griffin and Robin Shepherd are caught painting spirit posters. 5. Sophomore quarterback Kent Gilpin takes a hard hit and fumbles the ball. 6. President Ronald Reagan and Vice President George Bush sought re-election in 1984. He vowed not to raise taxes and ran on his record of his previous four years. 7. Democratic presidential candidate Walter Mon- dale made history when he chose a woman, Geral- dine Ferraro as his vice presidential running mate. He announced early in his campaign that to lower the federal deficit increased taxes would be neces- sary. o 10 Student Life — Homecoming During the week of homecoming students went all out to show their school spirit by dressing up on surf day, crazy day, toga day, and jersey day. As the excitement of Friday's game built up, many students began to live up to the homecoming theme Let's go crazy! When the final bell sound- ed, students poured out the doors to attend the annual pep rally in Central Square. At the pep rally, Coach Smith announced the sophomores as the winners of the float contest, seniors in second place, and juniors in third place. Mr. Hunerdosse and Mr. White dressed up as expec- tant mothers and compared their expected ba bies to members of the football team. Then they announced Kirk Stevens as the winner of the baby contest. The students left the pep rally confident that we would win the game against the Ottumwa Bulldogs. The fans and students were not let down as we defeated Ottumwa 7-0. Later, in the high school gymnasium, students danced to the music of Uncle Sam. The highlight of the evening was a dance in honor of homecom- ing queen, Karen Dooley, and her court. As the band played the final song, students began to go home, with memories of yeat another successful homecoming. 1. Mike Nelson delivers a big “kiss to the senior float. 2. Getting into the spirit of homecoming, Tim Beall, Marc Osgood. Madonna Ross, Jay Peaslee, Steve Septer, and Robin Shepherd show off their design- er togas. 3. Homecoming Court-Row I: L. Smith, D.

Homecoming Queen Karen Dooley flashes a smile of victory at the dance. 12 Fall Play “A Hobbit? What's a Hobbit? This question was posed by several characters on the F.H.S. stage as the drama department presented Patricia Gray's adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic. The Hobbit. A fantasy adventure, the play centers on Bilbo Baggins (Bart Buch), one of the most conservative of all Hobbits, who is asked by Gandalf the wizard (Joe Ferrell), to leave his home in the ground to help thirteen dwarves recover an important trea- sure that is guarded by the evil dragon Smaug. Bilbo reluctantly agrees, and the rest of the play deals with his adventures as he tries to recapture the treasure. Using a cast of twenty-seven actors and ac- tresses, director Scott Slechta and student director Leanne King were faced with many challenges in their first production. Large puppets had to be ere ated by Ken Rowe to portray the fantasy creatures Smaug, Gollum, and the three trolls. Costume and makeup crews had to deal with transforming the cast into bright and colorful dwarves and elves. Although most dwarfs' shoes were falling apart by opening night, none went barefoot. Set crew was given the dilemma of building an imaginative set for a place called Middle Earth. All of the details went together smoothly as the play successfully recreated Tolkien's magic. 1. The trolls Bert, Tom, and Essie plot their next evil move. 2. Juanita Davidson and cast prepare their make up for the show. 3. Having a late snack in Bilbo's home, the dwarves discuss their plan to recover the treasure. 4. Robin Shepherd enjoys a brief moment of humor before the performance. 5. Gandalf (Joe Ferrell) directs Thorin Oakenshield (Paul Moser) to the treasure.

Neon was no longer just for Las Vegas; it hit the fashion scene in bright sweaters, shirts, socks and accessories. Cropped pants also found their place. Although not originally from our generation, they made a comeback and were as popular as ever. One of the new looks was a tank top worn under a sweater or shirt. Often this was accompanied by beads worn in a single strands or twisted several at a time, adding color to any outfit. Large, brightly- colored earrings dangled from the ears of many a fashion-conscious student. Swatches, inexpensive watches found in acces- sory colors, were used to accent many clothes com- binations. Some even held the added attraction of being fruit scented - a danger to the 4th hour stu- dent who skipped breakfast. The fads this year were basically anything goes. They depended on the personality and mood of the wearer. . Sitting under a tree is junior Lori Bailey modeling the casual look with a cotton Knit vest, plaid shorts and white loafers. 2. Many different styles of shoes walked the halls. Some of the more common styles included penny loafers with a penny inserted, Reebok aerobic shoes, the old-fashioned granny boots, pumps in a variety of colors, and suede ankle boots. 3.

To learn that your fingers can talk. And say anything you can name. The Miracle Worker, by William Gibson, portrays the younger years of Helen Keller, a blind and deaf child. Since her disabling illness at nineteen months, Helen has lived her life in darkness and silence and came through it as a raging tyrant. But the arrival of Annie Sullivan brought a fresh Irish temper to match her own. Annie is determined to teach Helen the language that can release her from her life of confusion and solitude. Helen is equally determined not to cooperate. In the final emotional scene, Helen utters her first syllables since she was a babe. With a gutteral wah-wah she breaks her life-long communication barrier. The serious theme of this play demanded that the cast draw from personal experiences to find and feel the emotion needed to portray the wonder of this child's moment of discovery. Similarly, the crews were required to research the late 1800's to provide realistic costumes, props, and settings. The crews contributed such miracles as a multilateral stage and a pump that drew real water. Drama advisor Scott Slechta, with the assistance of student director Don Wittmer, produced this play which was much more demanding than the ama- teur comedies usually performed by high school casts. Says Slechta, It (The Miracle Worker) is something I've always wanted to perform, and here in Fairfield I've finally found the cast capable of it. 1. Anne Sullivan (Amanda Zimmerman) speaks kindly to the blind girls (Juanita Davidson and Sarah Hennesy) of Perkin s Institute. 2. Kate (Robin Shepherd) attempts to retrieve from Helen (Tina Clough) a pair of dangerous scissors. 3. Playing in the garden are Missy (Kristi Holt), Helen (Tina Clough), and Martha (Wendy Snook). 5. The Keller family greets Annie (Amanda Zimmer- man) at the train station. 6. Captain and Kate Keller (Paul Moser and Robin Shepherd) gaze into the unseeing eyes of their in- fant Helen. 19 Prom The theme Puttin on the Ritz fit the prom dance very well as blue jeans and tennis shoes were discarded for elegant gowns and dazzling tuxedos. For many prom-goers the elaborate evening began with fine dining at a posh restaurant. From there they advanced to the high school gymnasium for the formal dance. As the students crossed a large crepe paper bridge, they entered the gym which had been trans- formed into a small city in black, silver and blue. The prom-goers were entertained by the band, Grand Marshall. For the students that took advantage of the post- prom activities, the evening lasted till the wee hours of the morning. They received excellent ser- vice from Elks' Club members as their cars were parked for them and they were filmed promenading into the CO-ED Theater to see the movie, Foot- loose. After the movie many prom-goers quickly changed into casual wear and attended the dance at the Elks' Club from 3:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. After the sparkling evening ended, the weary- eyed prom-goers went home to press flowers into memory books and to sleep. 1. Seniors Stephanie Potter and Jon Kelley advance to the CO-ED Theater to see the movie Footloose. 2. Grand Marshall presents quality top hits for prom goers. 3. Senior Jamie Keiser and junior Alisa Keller stroll across the bridge to begin their prom festivities. 4. Senior Rick Pacha patiently endures necessary pre-prom fittings. 5. “Puttin' on the Ritz includes a top hat for senior Randy Martin. 6. Senior Lisa Crockett prepares to pin the bouton- niere on her date, senior Don Mosinski. 20 It's all over folks ... you're done, said com- mencement speaker Jon P. Bowermaster as he ad- dressed the 180 students of the class of 1985. Bowermaster is a graduate of FHS and now works at the Carle Foundation Hospital in Clrbana, Illinois. He entitled his speech “Living Your Life in Your Own Way and Living It Well and used it to build upon the class motto To live your life in your own way. To reach for the goals you have set for your- self, To be the you that you want to be — That is success.” May 26 was a hectic day for seniors as they prepared to wrap up their first thirteen years of education. The day began at 8:00 a.m. with bacca- laureate services in the auditorium. In his message to the graduating class, Reverend Ron Bryan said, We all have a part to contribute to life ... be sure you do your part — be all you can be.” The mixed chorus sang “Show Me the Way by Luboff and featured soloist Paul Moser. Lisa McGlothlen ac- companied Wendy Freudenberg with her flute solo by G.P. Telemann, and Steve Septer and Robin White performed the vocal duet Lord, My Trust is in Thee by Schutz. Commencement exercises were held later the same day at 2:00 p.m. Paula Schultz encouraged her peers to be the best at whatever they chose to be in life, whether a teacher, a Pizza Hut waitress, ... or even a hit man.” Jay Peaslee received a standing ovation after delivering his speech Gradu ation: More Than Just a Day in Our Lives. In his speech he said, Today we’re up here on a lofty pedestal — the mighty seniors, but tomorrow its back to the bottom of the totem pole. The sun- shine and the 80 degree weather had almost every- one fanning themselves through Bowermaster's and the other speakers' speeches. Even the gusty wind became quite a challenge as seniors struggled to keep their hats on as they crossed the stage to receive their diplomas. The happy faces of the sen- iors, however, showed that it was worth the trouble. . The gusty wind kept many graduates busy catch- ing their hats. 2. Remember this school, says commencement speaker Jon P. Bowermaster, “This is where you started. These are your roots and don t ever forget them. You have many memories to be proud of. ” 3. With a smile Michelle Brown receives her diplo- ma from school board president Pete Nelson. 4. Marching out from baccalaureate services is Soo- kie Johnson. 5. The warm temperatures prompted Brian Zim- merman to wear shorts under his gown. 23 S.A.D.D. SADD (Students Against Driving Drunk) is a student organization founded in increase public awareness and prevention of drunk driving. Members faithfully attended the regular Wednes- day morning meetings in an attempt to devise new SADD Thoughts . These SADD Thoughts were regularly heard on the Friday afternoon announcements and were aimed to discourage the student-body from driving drunk. On one such occassion students were advised not to drink and drive because: “Drunk driving can make you look up.. .from a casket. Meetings also provided the group a chance to plan activi- ties to promote its values. Several SADD members were elected to at- tend the first annual State Convention held in Des Moines. This convention consisted of ideas to make students more aware of the drinking and driving problem. From the convention, the group adopted the idea of a “Project Gradu- ation. Members spent the entire second semes- ter planning and promoting the project which gave students the opportunity to attend a chemi- cal-free year end party. I.N.S. The INS club (Interested Non-Smokers) is sponsored by the American Lung association. The club is designed to discourage persons from starting to smoke and to persuade those who already smoke to quit. Members must be non- smokers and have an interest in preventing smoking and its health-related problems. INS members provide information on smoking and its health hazards to teenagers and children by giving classroom presentations which utilize peer influence to persuade the young people not to smoke. Besides making presentations, including origi- nal skits and demonstrations recommended by the national organization, to young people throughout the school district, many INS mem- bers participated in a workship about smoking that was sponsored by The American Lung As- sociation. Others judged posters created by local elementary students and awarded prizes for the fourth annual contest sponsored by the club. INS club advisor is biology and anatomy instruc- tor Vera Young. .

Creme de la Creme What do France, eclairs, and traditional lifestyles have in common? A five course meal which is becoming an annual event for Creme de le Creme members. Hors d'oeuvres, cheesecake, chocolate mousse, salads, and appetizers were a few of the luscious foods served. Before French Club mem- bers got to eat though, Ms. Hansen allowed mem- bers an inside look at traditions through her French family. “Man in an Iron Mask, a video tape, was pur- chased with the club's fund. This tape tells the story of the French King Louis XIV and his twin brother, Phillipe. Because the brothers despise each other Phillipe throws Louis in jail and ruthlessly has an irremovable iron mask placed on Louis so no one will realize his true identity. Eventually, Louis is rescued by friends and like most movies, he gains the queen's love and becomes king. As their fund raiser Creme de le Creme worked at the ice cream machine. Anyone enrolled in French class is eligible to become a member of Creme de la Creme which is sponsored by Ms. Hansen. Los Gringos Los Gringos had an enjoyable year by combining the Spanish language with activities that were relat- ed to the culture of Spanish speaking countries. Funds for these activities were raised by selling candy in the fall. At Christmas, the club visited local nursing homes and sang Spanish carols. After singing and distributing candy to the nursing home residents, members assembled at the home of club sponsor, Roxie Skaggs. Following a pizza party stu- dents broke a pinata. It was a special privilege to have two Spanish speaking students, Eduardo Ce- ballos and Carlos Rodriguez, present for the even- ing. To complete the year the club traveled to the Fiesta Cantina in Ottumwa for a taste of Mexican cuisine. Mary Harris was also a sponsor. 1. Slicing a luscious yule log is senior Shelly Stearns. 2.

Members attend weekly meetings to receive training and se- lect which games they will work. During football season, managers became accus- tomed to standing in the rain. Most counted down the seconds until half-time when they were released to go into the gym to count tickets and money. Basketball season proved to be more enjoyable; as one person put it, At least it's inside. Each member received an activity ticket for join- ing. Members also earned their numerals, letters, or pins after working a designated number of games. One member summed up an added benefit to his involvement in Financial Managers: We get to meet many local citizens as well as those from surrounding communities.” Student Council The Student Council started off the year with Margaret Kelly as the new adviser. Co-presidents Stephanie Potter and Darlene Kaska began the year by attending a leadership camp in Colorado. At the first meeting the treasurer, Jim Kaska and secre- tary, Michele (Jnkrich were elected. Student Council sponsored the Homecoming fes- tivities and also the Christmas Assembly featuring two student bands. Other activities sponsored were the Sadie Hawkins Dance and Teacher Apprecia- tion Day. The Council raised money through a fundraiser of collecting pop cans and bottles on a Saturday and also sold gift wrapping paper. Campus clean-up and Christmas caroling were highlights of the coun- cil's campaign to get every member involved in school activities. .

Future Farmers of America strives to get stu- dents acquainted with agriculture and it's related topics. The chapter's goals are experience, cooper- ation, service and leadership. FFA activities don't stop when school stops; they continue all year round. During the summer, members attended the Jefferson County Fair and the Iowa State Fair with their projects. Don Mo- sinski, FFA President, attended the Washington D.C., conference in July. Swimming parties also provided get-togethers for members during the summer. Fall brought several activities with it, such as the Rodent Control Project, which was held as a com- munity service project, and the annual barn-warm- ing where Cindy Lauderman was named queen. A hog roast was held for the members and their fam- ilies. Winter activities included a chili supper for the delivery of fruit and cheese sold earlier in the year, and the annual parent-member banquet. Thanks to Iowa State Bank and Reiff Grain and Feed, the FFA chapter was able to purchase a T.V. and V.C.R. with the money from a 102 feeder pig project. F.F.A. It was a year of involvement for Future Home- makers of America (FHA). The Chapters 18 mem- bers began the year with the formal candlelight initiation of officers. One of the group's goals is to become involved with the community. This goal was met throughout the year. Some of the more elaborate activities included: delivering homemade cookies to residents at a local nursing home for Halloween and planning an Easter Egg hunt for youngsters at the Childcare Center. The group took part in a year long project cen tered on raising money for the Ronald McDonald House. Members raised money by selling Tom Watt Kits, working concessions and selling carnations on Valentine's Day. The group finished the year with a trip to Minne- apolis • the high point of which was a tour of the Betty Crocker factory. I.

The permanent record of hopes and joys this book holds were produced during regular Monday night meetings, led by co-editors Paul Fritz and Tina Barber. Here copy was written, layouts were de- signed, photographs were assigned and deadlines were sweated through. Staff members sold ads to local merchant to help finance yearbook production. The Quill staff also took its turn at working the ice cream machine and concessions in order to raise money Kendra Owens hosted the annual gag gift Christ- mas party where staffers shared laughs and con- sumed a lot of food. Troy Banner Troy Banner editors and staff faced the never- ending struggle of meeting bi-weekly deadlines. The impressive four page supplement to the Fairfield Ledger serves as an important link between the community and the student body. The paper’s make-up consists of the opinion, news, and sports pages. Individual features include Banner Beat, Jay's Jargon, and Kelly's Column. On a less burdensome aspect, member's had the ever so demanding decision of who's bringing the rolls for next Friday's 8:00 meeting, Troy Banner provided members with the opportunity to practice journalism skills. Through their diligence and hard work, members make Troy Banner a paper to be proud of. 1. Senior Don Mosinski receives a Transformer from Santa at the Quill Christmas party. 2.

During the fall the club attend- ed a speech festival held in Ft. Madison. Several of Fairfield's members were honored by presenting their award-winning speechs from the previous year. In cooperation with KMCD-KBCT, members reestablished The Voice of FHS - a bi-weekly news brief of the happenings at the high school. This program enabled students to work with another form of communication and gave the community a new insight as well. As Thanksgiving approached so did the realiza- tion of contest. Members chose their categories and began the long drudge toward district competition which was held in February. The seemingly endless hours of practice and preparation were rewarded as speakers advanced to the state level. Upon return- ing from state with 16 division I's and 3 division M's, members were in a frenzy to find out who had achieved outstanding ratings. Three members were eventually named outstanding: Polly Adam, Kelly Ogden, and Paula Schultz. This honor made them eligible to attend the State Speech Festival in Cedar Falls. An unexpected surprise for the club was the recognition of sophomore Polly Adam's speaking skills in an article published in the International Lions Club Magazine. To complete the year, club officers planned the annual Speakers' Club award banquet. Revolving on the theme It's a Jungle out There,” member's decorated the Walton Club accordingly. To high- light the evening the group hired a gorilla to present Mrs. Pettit with a bouquet of balloons symbolizing their thanks. 1.

The chorus members were kept busy with fund raisers to finance their trip to St. Louis, the first the chorus has ever taken. In St. Louis they competed in national competition and received a division 2 rating. They spent a day and a half at Six Flags (rain didn't dampen the fun), visited Grant's Farm, climbed the Arch, and attended a dinner theater on a show boat. The three-day trip seemed longer with 6:00 a.m. wake-up calls, but there were no com- plaints. After practicing in the auditorium in September, the chorus moved into a new room with carpet on the walls and the floor for better sound, a practice room, library, and office. Mrs. Mitcheltree and the chorus had a busy year, but it was worth it. 1. Second Hand Rose gets a workout as Darcy Doggett in Girls’ Triple Trio gets rid of her second- hand gloves. 2.

A hectic football season with three successive home games started the year off in the fast lane, and the momentum continued throughout the year. Late night rehearsals of in- tense drilling and repetion, combined with individ- ual commitment, paid off every time as head drum majorette, Wendy Freudenberg, marched the per- fectly-aligned squads out onto the lighted field. Even in the stands, band members displayed their ability and enthusiasm as they cheered their team on to victory throughout the season. Football games and halftime shows, however, were not the extent of the band's fall activities. Parade work was also stressed as the band became a popular early morning attraction to many towns people. Once again, the hard work and patience paid off as the 100 piece marching band proudly brought back a first place trophy from the October- fest competition in Ottumwa. This day was high- lighted when senior saxophonist Karen Dooley was crowned queen to rule over the festivities. The FHS music department also performed in three concerts: Christmas, Pops, and Spring. Hours of preparation, not to mention a few small miracles, achieved desirable results every time the curtain was raised. In between such formal appearances, the pep bands rocked the gymnasium with spirit at all the winter sporting events. A different twist to the full band is offered by an elite group of musicians that make up jazz band. The ensemble is made of saxaphones, trombones, trumpets, drums, quitars, pianos, and a wide range of talent. The twenty-one musicians audition for membership and practice twice a week at 7:30 A.M. The group has competed in contests and played at the annual Country Club Valentine's Day dinner and dance. 1. Pep band member Dian Peaslee demonstrates the ease of playing the saxaphone while rooting her team on at a basketball game. 2. Determination is a key factor at the many tedious hours of late night practices for band members. 3.

Graber Contests Fairfield once again had an excellent showing at contest in both the band and chorus divisions. For band soloists and small group members it meant setting alarm clocks extra early on Saturday March 30 to board a bus bound for Burlington. There was the usual hubbub of excitement and anticipation, combined with fear and nervousness as the final countdown began. Weeks of preparation and hours of tedious rehearsing were forgotten as all concen- tration was placed on the instrument, the judge, and the score of music. The moment of truth for some meant jubilation, but others suffered heart- breaking disappointment. However, as Fairfield band members boarded the bus for home, it carried with it five division I ratings, seventeen division II ratings, and eight division III ratings. The chorus also had their share of success at their contest. They entered solos, duets, trios, quar- tets, a sextet, triple trios, and a madrigal for compe- tition. Chorus director Linda Mitcheltree was quite pleased with the results. 1. Taking one last look at the score sheet is senior Belinda Neff as she prepares for the judges. 2.

Pom - Pon The 12 member pom pon squad assisted the band in providing half-time entertainment for foot- ball and basketball games, With advisor JoRae Peiffer. the squad choreographed dance, pom pon, and novelty routines to perform for the crowds. The girls also marched with the band in several parades, one a competition held in Ottumwa in which the band took first in their division. The squad competed at the All-Iowa State Drill Team Competitions; they performed a routine chor- eographed entirely by themselves. Two girls also competed for the title Miss Drill Team Iowa. The year was a successful one for the pom pon squad; with the help and encouragement of their new advisor, JoRae Peiffer, they added new rou- tines to their repertoire and experimented with a varity of musical styles. Twirler F.H.S. had only one twirler this year, senior Darla Blakely. Darla performed at various parades and halftime shows including football and basketball. This past summer, she accompanied the band to Winnipeg, Canada for a five-day trip where they marched in a large parade with other high school bands. Darla ended her three-year twirling career marching with the band in Cedar Rapids May 18. 7. With her cheerful smile and original routines, senior Darla Blakley makes up for the absence of a large twirling squad. 2. Pom pom squad Row I: Co-Captains: G.G. Gentry and Kelly Kramer.

The fall production of The Hobbit brought to life the use of puppets, split sets and a large cast of 27 drama club members. The Speech Festival at Ft. Madison allowed members to learn about the rules and categories for large group speech contest. A one act play, readers theater, choral reading and several mimes compet- ed. Fund raisers for the year included running the ice cream machine and selling candy. Money is being raised for a summer trip in 1986 to Chicago or Mew York. Brighton Beach Memoirs was taken in by stu- dents at Hancher Auditorium as were other plays in the surrounding areas. As Iowa thawed out and spring came around, drama club members began work on the spring play The Miracle Worker. A lot of time, effort and work go into putting on a performance. Drama club members have a part to do in each play - be it makeup, costume, crew or the actual acting. This provides members with a healthy appreciation of the theater. Thespians Thespians, the international society in drama, demonstrated a proficiency in theater activities. This year the organization became active in the national level, not just locally. Members attended theater productions and special activities. The goals of Thespians is to serve as the honor group for drama. A Thespian is chosen to be a member according to a point system. They must excel in two produc- tions in two different areas of theater such as pro- ducing, directing, or acting. An initiation for twelve new members was held in January. Fundraisers included working concessions and the ice cream machine. This money goes toward the drama fund. 7. Waiting patiently as his make-up is applied is senior Paul Afoser. 2.

FIGHT! WIN! The familiar chant rings out above the murmur of the crowd from bubbly faces wrapped in black and orange wool sweaters and twirling skirts. These were the FHS cheerleaders leading their teams to victory on a road paved with enthusiasm, energy, and pep. Never before had the school seen such original and seemingly end less spirit boosters. Everything from decorating the locker room and player's houses, to setting off hundreds of balloons and serving breakfast-these cheerleaders covered it all! Even the traditional spir- it week was overflowing with fresh ideas and up- beat jam routines. It was, however, not entirely fun and games. Long hard hours of tedious work and effort com- bined with a deep-felt dedication is what made these cheerleaders better than others. There was constant striving for precision and unity as they reached for that ultimate goal of perfection. And every time the buzzer sounded or the fight song rang out, they were rewarded with a feeling of success for a job well done. 1.

The biannual Torch Club initiation is about to begin. The question lin- gers in everyone's mind, “Who will be tapped into this prestigious club? The winter initiation was conducted by vice-presi- dent Richard Ardnt. It included performances from High Society and speeches on the requirements for membership from Paula Schultz and Lisa Crockett. The long awaited moment finally arrived with eight seniors being inducted. The spring initiation marked the chapter's fiftieth anniversary and club sponsor Vic Rail’s decade of work with the organization. The ceremony high- lighted both occasions. To enhance the fiftieth anni- versary, tow of the first initiates of the Fairfield chapter took their places on stage with the 1984-85 members. To commend Mr. Rail for his work and friendship, 1982 torch club member Milt Jackson gave a sentimental speech telling of the influence Mr. Rail had had on him. Club members also thanked Mr. Rail with a plaque for his dedication and service. Once again new members were tapped in • leaving some awed with disbelief and all proud of their accomplishment.

A X WtWl X ■ WORK t«KEp Math courses provided opportunities for stu- dents to develop logic and thinking skills, both in traditional math classes and in the growing comput- er classes. The increasing use of computers in ever- yday life was reflected in the increase in the num- ber of students taking the computer classes. Com- puter Programming 1 and 2 introduced students to the Applewriter HE, a word-processing program. To observe computers in action students took a field trip to Falco. In the more conventional math classes, Geome- try students learned the basic principles of geome- try and wrote proofs. Business math students learned to deal with money-making processes, like keeping records and dealing with loans. In Algebra, students used computer programs to supplement course materials. Math Analysis, the most ad- vanced math course, introduced college-bound stu- dents to calculus, rounding out the curriculum. English All English classes had three basic ingredients in common: reading, writing and developing thinking skills. Besides using all three skills in studying lit- erature, students were given the opportunity to apply these skills outside the classroom. British Literature students moved to the Jefferson County Court House to try MacBeth. Advanced Composi- tion students wrote critiques of Shakespeare's The Twelfth Might after traveling to Iowa City to see a live production. Within the classroom, Writing Lab students en- joyed a break from the usual essay writing when poet George Roberts conducted a week-long work shop on poetry and speech. English 10 students began the year with a refresher library course taught by librarian JoRae Peiffer. Two classes par- ticipated in a pilot program using computer assist- ed research, allowing them to use data banks to locate material. Advanced Speech students de- bated laws, such as whether or not to have summer school or non-smoking sections in restaurants, when they formed a mock senate. . The 1985 teacher of the year, Vic Rail, collects his students' Math Analysis assignments. 2. George Roberts, modern poet, helps students write a collaborative poem. 3. Trying to get his point across to his students is math teacher Tom White. 4. Sharon Flinspach explains the mathematical concepts of a sphere. 5. Rhonda Eakins ' poster shows the everyday strug- gle of classroom teaching. 6. Trying to figure out her Math Analysis assign- ment is senior Jodie Kramer. 57 Social Sciences Social sciences and natural sciences both pro- vided students with information about the world around them. Social sciences gave students insight to other people, cultures, and the history of their own coun- try. CI.S. History 3 provided students with back- ground causes of the Great Depression which is important now when banks across the nation are having problems. Students recreated the French revolution by simulation in Western Civ II. Govern- ment required that each student attend a city coun- cil meeting and provide ten hours of community service. A mock wedding was held for the first time in Family Living to help students relate to an acutal wedding. Natural Sciences Natural sciences gave students information on the physical world. Biology students dissected fetal pigs to help them understand the various systems and organs of the body. Students in anatomy dis- sected a cat which helped them to review everyth- ing they had learned throughout the year. Chem I became a little heated when one student accidently caught a bottle of methyl alcohol on fire while making soap. Students in physics class were intra duced to various theories on light, motion, and sound. Both types of science are important to students; they make them aware of what is happening in their world. 1. Junior Jay mi Meyers gets a hair raising exper- ience from the Vande Graff generator. 2. Senior Ed Fritts feeds his Wife”, Michelle Cole- man, a piece of their wedding cake as they partici- pate in the Family Living mock wedding. 3. Senior Steve Roberts models his Best man's” attire worn for the staged wedding in Family Living. 4. Just a little more NaOH and then. . . thinks junior Sauni Vorhies. 5. Senior Paula Schultz and physics instructor, Ms Lemke. argue over the theory of relativity. 6. Examining the different vessels of a beff heart are seniors Tina Barber and Terrie Palmer. 7. Cathy Giberson and Sheila Jackson learn more about the functions of their own heart by dissecting a beef heart in anatomy class. ife 58 Foreign Language Work and fun helped to make foreign language classes a good learning experience. First and sec- ond year students concentrated on grammar and the task of speaking in French, while fourth year students studied French literature and mystery sto- ries. Fourth year French students enhanced their cooking abilities by preparing a whole French meal. Unlike French class though the art of speaking in Spanish and concentrating on grammar doesn't hold true for just first and second year students — it continues all the way through fourth year. French students aren’t the only ones to become the perfect little chefs. Fourth year Spanish students also make a Spanish meal. The foreign language classes were able to use the language lab this year to practice their comprehen- sion. With the language lab they not only hear speakers from other countries but they also hear themselves to make sure they're pronouncing words correctly. Along with this, fourth year Span- ish students enjoyed a trip to Des Moines to watch dancers from Spanish countries at the National Theater of Performing Arts. Tutoring Many students every year volunteer their time to help others improve their reading skills. Sopho- mores voluntarily attend reading lab in which they are tutored by an upper classman. Each year 10- 15% of the sophomore class enroll in this program. No credit is offered to them, and they have the choice of dropping it at any time. The results of this program are reflected in the average 2.0 grade level gain shown on post-tests taken by the sophomores. They like the class because they are able to go at their own pace and they realize their tutors really do care and want to help. The tutors also receive positive results from peer tutoring. The students said their own reading ability improved and they also made gains emotionally and socially. Peer tutoring is beneficial to all that participate in it. 1. Absorbed in their assignments during Reading Lab are Doug Peebler and Rick Cook. 2. Oooo, good fondue, ” expresses senior Paul Moser about his French food. 3. Lisa Crockett discovers that French cuisine is pretty good, but Kris Coop isn't so sure. 4. Senior tutor Toni Baker helps sophomore John Baxter with his Western Civ. 5. Sophomore Stacey Galligan looks on while Me- lanie Boswell makes the difficult decision of either buying Park Avenue or passing it on. 6. Concentrating on his homework is John Shondel while senior Lisa Giberson waits to help. 61 O.E., Office Education, builds leadership, busi- ness interest and group cohesiveness. It also pro- motes citizenship and professionalism while devel- oping self confidence. Twelve senior students participated in office jobs outside of the classroom. As part of the class stu- dents reported on exactly what they did and how they were progressing. Students were also required to take at least one business class per semester. The group is known for its service work. This year the group undertook several tasks: typing a 250 page art document for Mr. Glocke; typing the Nu News, a publication for teachers; providing a safety program for elementary students; and a big sister program with elementary special education students. C.O.E. i L 1. Ed Rusk helps to unload a supply turck at Pa- mida. 2. Stocking the shelves is Terri Ehrenhard at Brown's Pharmacy. 3. Lisa Carr takes time between bites to talk to her employer during the C.O.E. breakfast. 4. Weighing the candy at Ben Franklin is Norma Hill. 5. O.E. class gives their undivided attention to teacher Diane Goudy. 6. Ending the year with an employers' banquet is the O.E. class. For most of us the thought of arriving at school at 7:30 every morning is a nightmare in itself, but for the nine students of the C.O.E. class it was merely routine. C.O.E., Cooperative Occupation Education, allowed the student to gain experience and knowledge in the working world. It enabled students to work with full-time employers in busi- ness and industry, using tools, equipment and other facilities which they couldn't use in school. In C.O.E., students acquired marketable skills, be- came more aware of career goals and learned to work better with others. C.O.E. also helped businesses; they earned rec- ognition in the community for their willingness to help young people. They also received interested, part-time workers who were eager to learn and do a good job. Many of these employers were so pleased with the student's performance that they offered them full-time employment after graduation. C.O.E. was a beneficial learning experience for both student and business. Its positive results will be missed with the cancellation of the class at the end of the year. O.E.A. 63 Fine Arts Students taking a fine art class were able to do something most of us couldn't do; they were able to leave their books, pencils and paper behind. Students taking part in the art department were able to experiment with whatever they wanted to do. They were able to let their imagination flow through their hands as the sculptured. They worked extensively on sketching and tempra paint- ing. Music appreciation students analyzed what mu- sic really is. Students didn't just hear what music sounded like, they listened very carefully to catch something one does not normally hear, for exam- ple, a drumbeat. Classroom involvement helps to broaden a student's music appreciation outside the class. Business Business classes provide students with a voca- tional skill training that will help them find employ- ment in the world of business. Through typing, accounting and business law a student acquires skills, abilities and knowledge for their own person- al use regardless of career choice. Students develop understanding and attitudes that will be of value to them as consumers of business services. 1. Senior Julie Kremer uses the computer to help her with her art project. 2. Junior Kelly Mclntire finds typing more enjoy- able when she can teach it to a furry little friend. 3. Mr. Prill lends a helping ear to sophomore Shelly Donoho. 4. Practicing for the upcoming concert is sopho- more Angela Collum. 5. Sophomore Doug Peebler shows one facet of his art ability by doing a sculpture of a ram. 6. Senior Chris Stanley would rather think about graduating then do his accounting assignment. Auto Mechanics Auto Mechanics teaches the theory behind oper- ating engines, transmissions, drivelines and all of the inner related components that make up the car. Learning is by text, lectures and selected hands-on instruction. Vocational Auto Mechanics is for the student planning to enter the auto mechanics trade. This class is both lecture and hands- on. It’s designed to prepare a student with a saleable skill to enter the trade of auto mechanics. Student are involved in a work study program where they do some on-the-job training at local garages. 1. Jeff Pohren finds working under the car relaxing while David Speas is hard at work. 2. Senior Rob Martin is disassembling a CH 400 turbo automatic transmission for rebuilding. 3. Senior Dave Speas double checks to see that all of his measurements were precise. 4. Senior James Jarvis is turning a model naval gun barrel on a tool room engine lathe. 5. Senior Joe Hird is knurling valve guides during an engine overhaul. 6. Mr. Smithburg discusses cylinders and valves with the aid of a Chrysler Motor Company cut a- way engine block. Home Ec. Home Economics involves seven areas that teach students to become more self sufficient. Child development teaches parenting skills from conception through age twelve. Independent living is designed to help students take care of and make decisions for themselves. Textiles and clothing is used in creative sewing. Students use basic tech- niques to make clothes for everyone in the family. Advanced sewing is more of an oriented class that teaches a student what to look for in a house and how to furnish it. Students learn the basic daily supplements through Foods and Nutrition. Ad- vanced Foods gives students a chance to make up their own menus and experiment with their own ideas. Vo-Ag Vocational Agriculture is the study of plants, animals, and mechanics. This class trains prospec- tive farmers for proficiency in the fields; it also teaches skills for agriculture related occupations and provides on-the-job training for senior students, ranging from working with computers, to wiring a house, to overhauling small engines. Many things are studied throughout the year, such as swine production, agricultural math, beef production, horticulture, farm energy, and agricul- tural careers. Two out of three Iowa workers depend directly or indirectly upon agriculture for their jobs; therefore, this class is for more than just the farm oriented student. . Mixing the ingredients to a cake batter is senior Lori Kreiss. 2. Junior Cari Griffin has a few hidden words about ironing. 3. Frosting a cake is something Sheila Zelinski can get really excited about. 4. Seniors Bob Brown and Rob Martin are overhaul- ing an engine. 5. Without looking, senior Roger Drish, attempts to assemble a gasoline engine. 6. Dave Smithburg can't face the idea of doing his welding project. 69 rf Gym Physical Education has decided to put more stress on something new this year. It's not just the addition of self-defense, which taught the girls how to defend themselves when the need arises, or bad- mitten along with the etiquette, or cross country skiing added to fitness class as a new way of getting in shape. What is new this year is putting more education into physical conditioning. The teachers are teaching more of the how's and why's of physical fitness. Ms. Franke says the rea- son for doing this is that most young people are seldom concerned with their health; they often take it for granted. It is important to begin good health habits early in life. This year more information has been given to the students through films, handouts and field trips. For in class conditioning, most classes must run five or six minutes before the activities. By informing students about good health and how it can be accomplished, it is hoped they realize getting in shape is hard work, but it can also be enjoyable. By doing this, maybe more students will exert themselves more than just a trip to the refrig- erator. Drivers Ed. Drivers education is a three-phased program con- sisting of classroom instruction, driving and simula- tion. The three phases run concurrently and pro- vide a sound basis for the physical, perceptual and social responsibilities involved in the driving task. Instruction is provided for developing fundamen- tal manipulative skills and perceptual skills. Natu- ral and devised laws as well as the effects of such factors as alcohol and physical and psychological limitations are also covered. Many other areas are covered, with emphasis on the responsibility of the driving task. 1. Senior Doug Speas is determined to get a strike. 2. Senior Lori Smith uses her self-defense tactics to protect herself against Rhonda Nelson. 3. Senior Roger Drish always keeps his hands on his homework even when he sleeps. 4. Watch out drivers; here comes Elizabeth Bender and Tom Pohern. 5. Leave it to the pros,” is what Tina Barber says about skiing. 6. One and two and three and ...,” thinks Cathy Giberson as she gives CPR to rescue Annie. 72 Softball Softball The Trojanettes finished an inconsistant season with a record of 21 13. One of the teams biggest achievements could almost be called accidental. Because of a rain cancellation, Winfield Mt. Union was unable to continue second round play in the Eddyville tournament. Fairfield stepped into Un- ion's shoes in this prestigious tournamnet. The first task at hand was to dispose of 8th ranked Albia, The championship game saw the Trojanettes win- ning their second consecutive Pekin tournament trophy. All pitchers enjoyed winning seasons: Lisa Van- noy, 8-7; Diana Repp, 7-4; Kay Berg, 6-2. Players deserving special recognition are: Diana Repp (P-SS)-all conference, MVP. Jullie Davisson (C)-all conference. Lisa Crockett (CF)-Honorable mention all conference, Golden Glvoe Award. Lori Henderson (2 basej-Honorable mention all confer- ence. Dina Holst (3 base) and Laura Buch (DH)- Coach's Award. Sindy Crockett (PH)-Rookie of the Year. Baseball The baseball team held their own under direction of new head coach Mike Schenck. The boys played consistent ball throughout the long, hot season. Because baseball competition is fairly even throughout Southeastern Iowa, their final record of 13-14 was well earned. Fighting hard against strong competition enabled them to finish 10-9-1 in the conference. Exceptional individual talent accentuated this well-rounded team. Key performances by catcher Brad Rose and second baseman Jeff Davisson high- lighted the season. Pitcher Rick Pacha commanded the mound by striking out 73 batters in a total of 90 innings. He also ended up with an ERA of 0.93. Back up pitcher and first baseman Brian Best was next with an ERA of 4.39. Individual awards were as follows: MVP - Jeff Davisson and Brad Rose; Brad Wickliff Award • Brad Rose; Most Improved - Pat Pacha; Attitude Award -Dave Fordyce. Making All Conference First Team were Brad Rose (c), Jeff Davisson (2 base), Pat Pacha (OF) and Tim Jackson (Utility). . Laura Waugh concentrates on slugging another pitch during a regular season game at Washington. 2. With sheer determination, pitcher Rick Pacha uses his curve ball to strike out another batter. 3. Shortstop Tim Jackson springs into action to catch a fly ball. 4. Thinking twice about stealing second base is Jason Reever. 5. Cindy Lauderman foils Mt. Pleasant's Marsy Day ton s plan to steal third base. 6.

Sophomore Dian Peaslee received 17th place to lead the team in state competition. Pam Horras, Amber Stump, Shari Essary, and Jenny Calhoun rounded out the successful team. Overall, the Trojanette runners won seven of their meets and placed second in the other. They also placed second in district competion. Peaslee received the Most Valubale Runner award and sneior Michelle Brown was voted cap- tain by the team. Boys’ With four returning lettermen, the boys' cross country squad had good depth going into the sea- son. They won their first meet, defeating Pekin and Cardinal in a double dual. Because of injuries, how- ever, they finished a disappointing third in the con- ference. Jay Peaslee, Rich Arndt, Phil Ross, Tim Kinsella, and Andy Small all lettered. Peaslee and Arndt were voted co-captains of the squad and Arndt was cho- sen Most Valuable Runner. Highlighting the season was Rich Arndt's becom- ing the first state qualifier ever for the boys' team. 1.

Surprisingly, this inexperi- enced team fared pretty well throughout the sea- son. The '84 season could be deemed a bit inconsis- tent, but it had its highlights. Several officials and opposing coaches said that this was the best first- year team they had seen. Although the Trojanettes compiled a season re- cord of 6-14, it doesn't tell the whole story. The Trojanettes cleaned up all other first year teams they faced. Washington didn't stand a chance as Fairfield proceeded to sweep them in an easy 3-0 victory and even Mt. Pleasant failed to stop the fiery team. During an all-day tournament in Keokuk, the spikers were also able to defeat Danville 2-0. Dan- ville is a fifth-year team and the girls were proud of their accomplishment. Another exciting highlight of the season was the hard-fought battle against Ottumwa. Ottumwa is a major power in the Southeast 7 Conference, and the Trojanettes gave them a run for their money. How- ever, the Bulldogs triumphed in a heart-breaking overtime. Someof the post season awards were: Lisa Crock- ett (SR.) • co- captain, Teri Stammerman (SR.) - co- captain, Laura Waugh(JR.) • MVP, Shawn Dailey (JR.) ■ Most Improved, Tina Campbell (SOPH.) - 110%.

This was the fourth time a Fairfield football team made it to the semifin- als, but it was their first appearance in the CJNI- Dome. The season's games were often thrillers with the Trojans winning only in the final minutes of the game. The only loss that they sustained during regular season was to conference champions Mt. Plesant. The Trojans, however, avenged their loss in the first round of state playoffs by holding the Panthers scoreless in the mud-filled arena at Wash- ington. Two games later, the Trojans had to adapt from adverse playing conditions to perfect playing conditins in the UNI-Dome. It was the first time most of the players had ever experienced artificial turf. Things looked pretty good for the Trojans when they scored on each of their first three posessions, but in the second half, Waterloo Columbus couldn't be stopped. Nine Trojans were chosen for the Southeast Sev- en Conference Football Teams. Dave Smithburg, Paul Fritz. Tim Jackson, and John Stever were chosen for first team offense, and Rich Metcalf, Roger Drish, and Eric Danielson were chosen for first team defense. Jim Kaska and Steve Roberts were selected to the combined second team and Joel Herr, John Mineart, Don Mosinski, Bob Brown, Steve Septer, Dave Christner, and Dave Swafford received honorable mention. 1.

Consisting of one senior, eleven juniors, three sophomores, and four freshmen and having only seven returning lettermen, the semi-experienced team finished with a season record of 4 wins, 4 losses, and I draw and a conference record of 2 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw. The grapplers best meet was the Fort Madison Invitational. A total of 222 individual points were gained with a season high of 49 take downs and 11 falls. One of the accomplishments for the semi- experenced team was having sophomore Bill Glenn (112 lbs.) and junior Rich Metcalf (HWT) go to state. Co-captains for the grapplers were juniors Darin Dunn, Phil Ledger, and John Stever. Sophomore Bill Glenn led the grapplers with 264 individual points and 62 take downs followed by junior Chay Vongpanya with 183 individual points and 34 take downs, and junior Phil Ledger with 177 individual points and 39 take downs. Receiving special awards at the end of the year were: Seng Vongpanya - Rookie of the year, Ed Bryant and Bill Kessel ■ Outstanding J.V.

The Trojanettes rounded off the 1985 regular season with an 18-1 win loss record. There were several highlights throughout the season. Two of them were when the Trojanettes emerged the trium- phant victor after clashing with bigger city schools. Fairfield defeated Des Moines North Tech by 11 points and trounced Pleasant Valley by an impres- sive 22 point margin. But, like always, the limelight was in the post- season games. Fairfield was considered the under- dog throughout the sectional and regional games. But in a bursting display of will power the Trojan- ettes once more carried the title of Champion.” They breezed through such teams as Washington, Ft. Madison, and Mt. Pleasant. Down the stretch in the regionals, dark horse Fairfield dominated the rest of the field. The momentum of beating Ottumwa and South- east Polk in the regional tournament carried them on to state. In the first round of tournament play, Fairfield downed Sibly by a decisive factor. In the second round Fairfiled once again rose to the challenge and snatched a sweet victory from under Ankeny's nose. But for all their spirit and talent, they could not win the semi-final round against Waterloo. Michele CInkrich (Sr.), Laura Waugh (Jr.), Juanita Long (Jr.) and Diana Repp (Soph.) made the all- conference basketball team. Lqng was also named most valuable player for Fairfield and made first team all state. 7. Seniors Wendy Freudenberg and Teri Stammer- man celebrate a victory at home over conference rival Ottumwa. 2.

Having only one returning varsity starter, Coach Herb Justmann's team had a large obstacle to overcome. This obstacle was inex- perience. Starting two sophomores and three ju- niors, the young ball team ended their season with an 8-11 record. The players performed routine drills of rope jumping, lay-ups, scrimmaging, and the dreaded killers” at almost every practice. These drills helped to build a stronger Trojan team for tight game situations. Strong competition was met many times throughout the season, yet the young ball team fared well as they advanced to district play. Junior Tim Jackson, M.V.P., led the Trojan team in scoring and steals. He also set a new school rec cord for three-point goals. Sophomore Darin Freu- denberg, voted newcomer, led in rebounds and was second in scoring. Senior Steve Crile was named team captain. Jackson was named to first team all-conference as a guard, and Freudenberg was named to second team all-conference as a forward. Jay Justmann and Chris Horras received honorable mention. The season came to a close as the Ottumwa Bulldogs defeated the Trojans in the first round of district play.

Besides carrying wa- ter bottles for a thirsty team, the managers also perform other important tasks that are not always seen by the public. They help issue uniforms at the beginning of the season, come to every practice to get out and put away the necessary equipment for the team, keep the medicine kit stocked, and put up team rosters in the gymnasium. Some are in charge of keeping the team stats that are used by the coaches and by the local newspaper. At the end of the season, the manager's job is not finished until all equipment is checked in and all uniforms are returned. The managers are a very important part of Fair- field athletics. They deserve much credit for all of the work that they do. 1. J. V. FOOTBALL Row I: R. Marshall. R. Keifer. T. Pohren, B. Glenn, R. Hoskins. J. Schillerstrom. Row 2: S. Kramer. M. Dodds. P. Greiner.

The key to the team's success was experience, as five top gymnasts returned from last year. The three sen- iors, Karen Mogged, Susan Gurney, and Heidi An- dre, supplied leadership as well as many of the top scores. Junior Dana Messerli and sophomore Sarah Hennesy also pulled their own weight and came through on several opportune moments. The Fairfield team ventured out into a very com- petive field this year. Several teams made good showings, but our gymnasts skillfully outmaneu- vered them. They managed to defeat a very capa- ble Keokuk team both times and also routed an outstanding Muscatine team. The gymnasts also landed an impressive third place on their own Fair- field Invitational. They polished off the 1985 season with a team average of 118.3. After the official season the team entered into a grueling district meet and placed fifth. Karen Mogged was the only one to advance to the regional meet. She qualified in both the vault and all-around. Several of the gymnasts placed high in the histo- ry books of Fairfield gymnasts. With an 8.9 in vault and an 8.8 in floor exercise, Heidi Andre placed second and third respectively among all Fairfield gymnasts ever to compete. Susan Gurney ranked second in beam with an 8.6. Karen Mogged placed first in all-around with a 35.5 and first in beam with an 8.9. The records of the Fairfield gymnasts have been kept since 1973. The team awards were as follows: Gymnast of the Year and Most Points — Karen Mogged (sr.)t Congeniality and Most Improved — Heidi Andre (sr.). Attitude — Susan Gurney (sr.) and 110% — Dana Messerli (jr.). . Qualifying for the regional meet, senior Karen Mogged twists her way to a perfect landing on the vault. 2.

The netmen took third place in the elite Knoxville Tournament. There were several fine exhibitions, but the spotlight was on junior Shawn Lisk and senior Doug Speas as they won the doubles cham- pionship. The team also made a bid for the conference title, but Ottumwa edged them out and Fairfield finished second. The climax of the season was the district tourna- ment. The Fairfield boys rose above many fine teams to win, with Lisk and Speas once more cap- turing a doubles first place title. Speas and Lisk also advanced to the state doubles tournament where they won one of three tough matches. Girls’ The Fairfield girls' tennis team enjoyed the sweet taste of success and ended with a 6-2 season re- cord. With only two varsity players returning, the girls' team was relatively inexperienced. But the younger players stepped right up to the task and met the challenge beautifully. Throughout the season, the girls played in sever- al all-day tournaments. The first of these tournies was in No. 1 doubles where Karen Dooley and Lisa Crockett took second place, and the team placed third over all. In the Burlington Invitational, Fairfield made a very good showing. Jane Cartwright won a title in the No. 5 singles competition, and Dooley and Crockett advanced to the finals, but lost a close match to champion Bettendorf. In the SE7 conference meet the girls placed third. Jane Cartwright once more won a singles title at No. 5 and Kelly Ogden took a second place at No. 4 singles. Dooley and Crockett took a second place in No. 1 doubles after being beaten by Ottumwa in the finals. . Deep concentration is etched on Ian Loo 's face as he drives back a return. 2.

Although the team rated poorly throughout the season, it did send one runner to the state meet. Rich Arndt advanced to state in the 3200 meter run. He again broke the school record in this event with a new time of 9:52. The following runners received a varsity letter for their efforts: Kent Fulton, Rich Arndt, Steve Crile, Rich Metcalf, Tim Beall, Glenn Bechtel, Jon Kelley, Don Mosinski, John Stever, Chris Bechtel and Brent Bower. Girls Led by captains Michelle Brown, Karen Mogged and Michele (Jnkrich, the 1985 girls' track team had a very successful season. Highlights of the winning season included setting new school records in the 4 x 400 meter relay and in the Sprint Medly relay. The girls placed first in the conference meet and advanced the 4 x 400 meter relay to state. The relay placed 6th out of 72, the highest state finish ever by an FHS girls' track relay. Awards were presented as follows: Rookie of the Year — Angela Fritz, 100% Award — Shari Essary, Most Improved — Diana Repp, Deb Crew Memorial Award — Amber Stump and Dian Peaslee. 7.

The disappointing season was mainly due to an inexperienced team of either first or second year golfers excluding Nelson. They placed 3rd at conference and 5th at sectionals to bring their season to an end. Returning lettermen were Allen Nelson and Rob Ham. Receiving letters were Nelson, Ham, Andy Brouwer. Rob Phipps, Steve Nelson, Brad Holst, and Darin Freudenberg. In two dual meets Allen Nelson was was only one over par. At the Ottumwa Country Club he shot a 73, par was 72, and at the Mount Pleasant meet here, he shot a 36, par was 35. At the Ottumwa Invitational he shot par, 70. Allen Nelson was on the all Southeastern 7 Con- ference team, a Fairfield Invitational Runner-up, in the Ottumwa Sectional he placed 3rd in a playoff, and was Meet Medalist 6 times. The highest number of birdies went to Nelson with 28, followed by Rob Ham with 11, and Rob Phipps with 8.

Guitar and piano are only two of the musical instruments played by sophomore Steve Luckman. Steve enjoys playing all of his instruments, but his favorite instrument happens to be the one that tends to make the most noise, the drums. Steve began playing the drums in the fifth grade band. Steve's talent for playing the drums has improved tremen- dously since fifth grade. He has earned several scholarships to attend music camp, and this year he made honor band. Steve enjoys playing for high school band concerts, jazz band, the Methodist church, and several other special events. Steve’s philosophy on life is, “If you don't enjoy what you're doing, then it would be a lost cause . Steve and some of his friends have formed several bands, the most recent one is called Rude Awakening. The group practices at least 3 times a month at each others' houses, so he has to lug around one snare drum, a floor tom, two mounted toms, two bass drums, three roto toms and a set of cymbals costing around $1,600, quite often. Steve's par- ents, who give him a lot of patience, encouragement and support, are the ones who actually do all the lugging. Steve admits he hasn't developed any practice habits, but he tries to practice at least twenty minutes a day on all of his instruments. It is often difficult for him to find enough time to practice. After high school Steve plans to make music a major part of his life by playing in clubs to help put himself through college. Steve hopes to minor in music while in college.

Debby Arnold Debbie Arnold displays one of her champion award winning model horses. Collecting and showing model horses is a little-known hobby. But, for Debby Arnold, collecting Breyer horses is almost second nature. Although she's been collecting most of her life and has about 350 horses, she didn't begin showing them until 1982. Debby learned about the shows after her parents bought a magazine that told about them. One of the two types of shows is the photo show where pictures are taken of the horses and sent in. The other type is the live show. The horses are taken and judged in different classes. Two types of horses can be shown: original finish and repaints. A repaint is an original finish that the owner has altered. The position can be changed; hair can be added for a mane and tail; and they can be painted. Repaints take time and skill. Presently Debby buys her horses, but eventually she would like to learn how to do repaints. Debby, with the support of her parents, has put a lot of time and money into her hobby. She enters picture show competitions through the mail as often as four times a month. A couple times a year she travels to live shows. She has met many new people with this same interest at shows in Dubuque and Barrington, Illinois (near Chicago). Debby s time and effort has paid off; she has won several Grand Champion Awards in the picture shows and live competi- tions.

Co +u iborscrv Central Colege s Bob Sackett presents the pros and cons of college life in interested seniors. Being a senior at F.H.S. opens up a world of opportunities. One of the privileges offered to upperclassmen is senior college days. This poli- cy allows students to take a few days off from school to visit prospec- tive universities. Size, distance from home, and expense are just a few of the many factors one must consider when choosing a college. Most colleges tend to swamp prospective students with letters concering this information about their schools. Although pamphlets, books, and brochures can offer seniors valuable information, they generaly project only the posi- tive aspects. What the student really needs is to visit the college and experience in person its true atmosphere and life. Campus tours provide upperclassmen with the chance to explore new horizons. Talking with counselors and faculty members at the universities gives the student a rare opportunity to look inside the clockwork of the college. By attending university lectures, seniors can visualize themselves as future students. Visiting the college during actual class hours also enable students to get a glimpse into the future. Seniors can observe how courses are conducted and get a feel for the classroom enviroment. They may also weigh the professor-to-student ratio in order to determine if it fits their own personal needs. To prevent abuse of the privilege of taking college days, students must obtain permission from the counselors and notify teachers a week in advance. With all the pressures and decisions seniors have to make, college days are appreciated. The time away from school gives upperclassmen a chance to plan ahead for furthuring their education. Visits to prospec- tive universities allow students to see the colleges as they really are. All in all, the senior college days are an eye-opening look at reality and an opportunity to prepare for the future.

Baton twirlers are becoming an extinct species. Back when most of our parents were attending F.H.S., baton twirlers were many; but now it seems they are far and few between. Currently F.H.S. has only one baton twirler, Darla Blakley. At the age of 10 Darla was inspired to twirl by Mary Kitch. F.H.S. graduates Paula Roland and Susan Bush also taught Darla to twirl. Darla is now passing along her talent to others who are interested. She teaches at LeCygne Dance Academy and has five students ranging from ages 8-12. She teaches every Saturday from 8:30-9:30 a.m. Darla enjoys teaching children in an attempt to get them interested in a hobby or to some day twirl at F.H.S. Darla twirls at basketball and football games and parades. Practice makes perfect,” as Darla well knows. Thus, she practices three times a week during prep period and occasionally at home. Her immediate goal is to twirl in college. '- -3 Clowning around while preparing for the Homecoming dance are Ann Ledger and Lisa Crockett.

And if Heaven has an art room, I know you'll steal the shows, bet you'll be the one that paints all the rainbows. If Heaven needs a best friend with a warm and caring ear, I know that it can count on you to always be near. If Heaven needs someone to light the stars each night, I'm sure you 'll be perfect to do the job just right. If Heaven has horses that need a lot of care, I know that you will do your best to always be there. If Heaven has an extra halo that someone needs to wear, I know that it'd look lovely around your golden hair. And if Heaven needs a coach to help us Go for it, I know you’ll be the perfect one to give us all a lift. And if Heaven needs a smile to light the path of fate. I'm sure we'll find you smiling at the Golden Gate. If the Lord decides that many years should keep us far apart, I'll go on in life with memories of you close inside my heart.
