Good neighbors want to communicate with each other and to understand each other. To make understanding possible and to avoid conflict, it has become increasingly necessary to study history, geography, politics, and economics to know the forces which make people what they are. It is probably because thoughtful people realize the profound effects that natural and social environments have in forming human character that so muchattention is given to social stu dies in high schools and colleges Today s World Vla Social Studies Jim Maloney Verna Wood Dave Howard and BettyWoIff look overa chart on family prob Iems AMERICAN HISTORY Ann Horswell and Robert Krohn give a report on World News of the Week while Rosanne Kirsch takes notes ,fs Ronald Tenny Grace Nrcker son Patrrc1aBeckman and Jean Cox make use of the mforma tron rn the hbrary for Journahsm class as Iwi IOURN ALISM CLASS Mr Krause s Journahsm class srudres newspapers to get an rdea of the composruon of the arucles X Art and Journalism Explolt Interests ART CLASS The students rn Mr Bursherm s seventh grade art class learn how to draw prctures wrth water colors gat Mr Bursherm helps Barbara Frredley and Sandra Trmm wrth theu water colorrng rn the seventh grade art class Echo Reports Current Events The ECHO amrmeographed news magazrne rs the br monthly publrcatron edrted and pro duced by the students of Fatrmont Hrgh School Between 15 and 18 rssues of thrs br monthly paper are publrshed each school year A large varrety offeatures are rncluded rn the make up of the paper Crosswords frctron oplnton polls poetry and rntervrews go IUIO the feature sectrons of the paper whrle sports and news coverage ofschool events and ofour alumni make up the rest of the contents of the publrca tron There are a number of specral rssues prrnted durrng the year They are usually the Halloween Thanksgrvrng Chrrstmas Aprrl Fool s Prom and Senror rssues Thrs year on March? the staff publtshed a spectal 20th annrversary rssue rn commemoratron of all the past rssues and work ers ofthe ECHO Mary Wacholz and Helen Kloeckner headed the staff thrs year as co edrtors Mr Larry Krause was faculty advrsor A...-fl CO EDITORS OF ECHO Mary Wacholz and Helen Kloeckner ECHO STAFF ROW I Connre Swenberg Sally Harrrs Barbara Fancher Helen Kloeckner Mary Wacholz Lrz Krng Chuck Champrne ROW II Pam Mrlbrandt Mary Plorde Martha McDonald Ardella Rakness Connre Haberrnan Karen Krng Ann McDonald ROW HI Sharon Cavers Sandra Rowles Sandra Stueland Marrr Huttemerr Eumce Rernke Karen Eltgroth James Peterson ROW IV Sally Duncan Karla Tonneson Mary Katherrne Crzrnskr Helen Borchardt Judy Webb Judy Preser Robert Burnrson ROW V Robert Klessrg Dennrs Leach Vrctorra Howard Karen Smed Susan Nelson JoAnn Mlsbach Mr Krause ROW VI Phrlrp Sullivan Charles Parsons Betty Keepers Belle Flynn Carole Brerse Gerald Luckow James Lasley 10 The Carclmal Summarlzes 1955 - 56 The mcentive ofthe annualstaff was to make th1s year sCardlna1 the best ever produced 1n the Falrrnont High School If the ultimate of the staff s tntentionsbecame somewhat ofa reallza non the credtt does not go to a select few A large number of conscienttous people unwaver rngly gave much time and effort so that you the students wouldhave amemento of the memorles that you have created here tn FHS In the few words that th1s space allows ll would be impossrble to express apprecratron to the many who helped wxth thts year s book but especially to be commended are those ptctured on thrs page The Advtsors E- CARDINAL STAFF ROW I Judy Nrcholas Karla Ton neson, Judy Hinton ROW II Judy Rich Sherry Haeckel Helen Hartung Sandra Stueland ROW Ill Betty Wolff Charles Gauck Rrta Wolff CARDINAL EDITORS AND ADVISORS SEATED Syl viaRe1nke RtchardJ Kra mer STANDING Mr Sundberg Mr Bursheim Mr Knoss CARDINAL PHOTOGRAPHERS Ste ven Drosman Lanny Mtlbrandt Sclence ln the Atomic Age X N W' SCIENCE TEACHERS SEATED Donald Dahlke Lloyd Shawl Ereld Trrp Pat Breen Scrence Club Presr Rrchard POIVIH STANDING Homer Knoss Wrllram Tour dem Ann MCD0na1d and James Luckgw at vrlle the Welcome Gas Plant As more and more of the com plex1t1es of our world are revealed to us lt becomes rncreasmgly neces sary to have a knowledge of the f1eld of sclence In order for a person to tomlc age he must have a workrng knowledge of scrence Sc1ence club provrdes an oppor tumty for students w1th the common mterest of scrence to explore new frelds and to work on spec1al pro jects One major project has been members 6Xh1b1t therr projects and demonstrate var1ous experrments SCIENCE CLUB ROW I Warren Zemke Andrew Maday Jerry Keele Bruce Krahmer Gary Serbert Terrance X .1 rarka ROW II Jolene Wrlk Martha McDonald Nancy Duflo Alberta Barber Judy Rlch Karen Haertel Kay Ed man ROW III Jay Ells James Leer Thomas Palmer Douglas Nelson Vtc Horswell Frank Mesrch ROW IV Rrchard Grllette Thomas Kennedy John Wohlford Robert Klessrg Rrchard Kramer ROW V Jerald Holley Wtl lram Jensen Donald Koenrgs Ellsworth Grev Wllltam Orr Charles Lrndeberg ROW VI Patrrck Breen Paul Krah mer Thomas Prerce Robert Rrng Eugene Struck 'O X' O O O , T I I of z 98, I mi 'Eg O lyk, H X. ., ki J fgi I g ?

Chorus Presents Extensive Repertoire Of About six minutes and thirty seconds after ten o'clock on any typical morning in Fairmont High School the seventy-seven members of the Mixed Chorus begin to file into Room 304 for chorus hour. Chattering gaily, they pass out the black folders and hunt for the pieces of music which Mr. Aupperle has selected for the day's practice. After a few minutes Mr.Aupperle sig- nals for order, the pianist strikes middle C, and the chorus begins to go through the warm-up ex- ercises. During a usual day the chorus may practice almost every type of music--a Bach number, the Lord's Prayer, a folk ballad, and a jazzed-up version of My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean. Occasionally Mr. Aupperle plays records for the enjoyment or the instruction of the chorus. It is a common occurrence for him to tape-record parts of the chorus' rehearsal, then to play it back to let them hear how they ROBE CUSTODIAN: Marie Nelson tries Sgund. a robe on Barbra McConnaughey.

On October 25, 1955, twenty-four mem- bers of the chorus traveled to Mankato to take part in the massed chorus concert given for the Southwest MEA Convention. In the annual Christ- mas concert given by the orchestra and chorus, the Mixed Chorus sang The Song of Christmas by Roy Ringwald, one of Fred Waring's arrang- ers. As has been the custom in recent years, the chorus sang for three half-hour broadcasts from the First National Bank on December 21, 22, and 23. Then on December 23, the chorus traveled around the halls of the school singing Christmas carols for the classes. One of the most important appearances any chorus in this area makes is at the Music Festi- val. This year the Mixed Chorus journeyed to Blue Earth to take part.

'T Concerts and Marching Band Merit Prais The Fairmont High School Concert and Marching Band is an organization dedicated to the service of its members , its school, and its community. During the school year of '55 and '56 the band found many ways in which to fulfill its threefold service function. The band's year startedwith the summer band pro- gram in June and saw the band members studying with Mr. Hass and Mr. Scherer in order to improve their individual per- formance and appreciation of music. A number of the band members played with the Municipal Band which presented eight out-door concerts dur- ing the summer season. The marching band traveled to Mankato as guests of the Fairmont VFW and to Blue Earth for the annual parade. At Mankato the bandwas presented a trophy after Win- ning the State VFW Parade Champion- ship award. Fair time saw the band traveling to St. Paul as an award for being selected as one of the ten out- standing pep bands in the State. Band members presented an hour concert in the rotunda of the Education building and broadcast live over television.

U15 Performing Music For Every Listener With the opening of school in the fall,the band was ready to begin train- ing for the many obligations it had to meet. Within one week the band marched at Jackson, Worthington, St. James and Fairmont. At St. James band members were jubilant after winning the marching band competition. Four half-time shows were presented at the football games with the climax coming with the Men at' Work show as a tribute to the Dads and their occupations. The end ofthe marching season saw the beginning of the concert season and among the band members. James Swan- sonwas elected band president and stu- dent director, Lowell Ziemann as vice- president and Barbara Fancher as sec- retary-treasurer. Sectional rehearsal got under way and the annual winter concert was presented to the public February 8. The music festival was held in Blue Earth in April with Paul Yoder as guest director.
