PLAY Class History TIME 1943-1947 PLACE Fairmont Public School CHARACTERS AT THE FINAL CURTAIN CALL Abbott, Betty Albro, Robert Ackerman, Margareut Dado, Lois Ely, Bill Fishel, Jerold Fishel, John Gillan, Ina Belle Goodrich, Anna Marie Jensen, Dorothy SYNOPSIS Justa, Carl McAvoy, Dorothy Priefert, Neil Ritchey, Merlin Thompson, Virginia There is one act with four scenes in this play. In the first scene we see a group of frightened children coming quietly (by that you can tell they are Freshmen) up the stairs. During the scene our cast is augmented by the addition of five tal- ented young actors: John and Jerold Fishel, Bill Ely, Robert and John Quick, and a cute little blonde ingenue, Ina Belle Gillan. The second scene finds our cast very sorrowful because of the exit of three of its stars: Rosemarie Romans, and Donna Garrett, and a dashing young gallant, Robert Kolc. At the end of the third scene one of our most faithful actors, Max Philson, makes his exit. In the last scene Virginia Thompson adds her charm and talents to our cast. The curtain falls on a group happy over their success In this first important play of their young lives. From this stage they go on, eager for adventure and sure of greater success. Didn't Shake- spearlsay All the world's a stage....... ? —9— SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of Fairmont High School, Fairmont, Nebraska, being of sound mind and memory do hereby declare this our last will and testament in the manner and form as follows: FIRST: Anna Marie Goodrich wills her favorite saying you em- barrass me” to Butch Laschanzky. SECOND: Dorothy McAvoy leaces her rings and boy friends to Lil- lian Jacobsen, as she only needs one now. THIRD: Margareut Ackerman bequeaths her ability to stay out of a conversation to Carolyn Goodrich. FOURTH: Virginia Thompson regretfully leaves her girlish figure to Cornelia Burns. FIFTH: Dorothy Jensen leaves her inferiority complex to Louis . Moul. SIXTH: Jerold Fishel wills his drum sticks to Maurice Hansen because drums don't make music and neither does Maurice. SEVENTH: Carl Justa wills his beautiful hair to Harold Hall. EIGHTH: Lois Dado bequeaths her chair in band to Vern Justa. NINTH: Robert Albro wills his ability to flirt and stay single to George Patterson. TENTH: John Fishel Just wants to leave, period ELEVENTH: Ina Belle Gillan leaves her well-known giggle to Marilyn Domeier. TWELFTH: Neil Priefert bequeaths his ability to learn dance steps to Bob Ely. THIRTEENTH: Bill Ely wills his muscles and athletic ability (also the hair on his chest) to Rodney Komarek. FOURTEENTH: Merlin Ritchey wills his ability to grow a beard to Del- bert Winkler. FIFTEENTH: Elizabeth Abbott bequeaths her ability to leave home at 1 minute to 9 and arrive at school before the bell rings to Duaine Roper. We have given much time to the consideration of the best interests of Fairmont High School in the coming years and believe that the best we can do for our Alma Mater (since we ourselves will not be here) is to bequeath our combined intelligence and good behavior to next year’s Sophomores. The entire Class wills its section in the Study Hall to next year's Seniors. We, the Senior Class, do hereby certify that this document is true and correct to the best of our knowledge and belief. CLASS PROPHECY Washington: The White House was the scene of the gala reunion of the members of the class of 1947 and the teachers who were work- ing In the Fairmont High School at the time of the graduation of this class. His honour, President Jerold Fishel, was host at this memorable reunion. Mrs. Fishel, the former Dorothy Jensen, made a most charm- ing hostess. The host enjoyed being among his former classmates again and It •earned good to him to be called Jerry” again, although he never cared to be called that when In school. President Fishel asked all of those present to tell what they had been doing In the past twenty years. Here Is a brief synopsis of the reports: Mr. 0. N. Watkins, former superintendent of Fairmont Public Bchools, Is now a rich, old farmer with long whiskers. He farms his 300-acre farm near New Haven, Connecticut, almost all by himself. The portion which he doesn’t farm Is mostly marshland. Mrr. Watkins will not let Mr. Watkins try to drain this land because that would disturb her big, green, slippery, slimy, hopping ’'darlings. You see, Mrs. Watkins raises frogs for sale to the most exclusive res- taurants . Miss Mary A. Stowe, Great American Ballet Dancer, who was class sponsor. Is very happy In New York. She says that she sees Ina Belle Glllan quite often. Ina Belle Glllan Is a leading Metropolitan Opera Star. She, like many of the other '47 girls, has preferred a career to married life. Mrs. Murphy Is now an airplane stewardess of the United Airlines. She Is very fond of this work. She flies between Exeter, Nebraska, and Fairbanks, Alaska. On the side she runs a farm at Exeter and op- erates a grocery store In Fairbanks. RoDert Albro Is now Vice-President of the Atomic Bubble Gum Com- pany. Mr. Herrick Is head chemist In the experimental department of the company. He has found a way to mix uranium Into the gum so that It will be worth while to pop bubbles. Bert Kness Is still janitor at Fairmont Public Schools, and Is loved by all pupils, past and present. He and Mrs. Kness are still living In Fairmont, Nebraska. John Fishel and wife are happily situated in Sacramento, Calif- ornia. John Is the Governor of California. He is planning to run against his brother, Jerold, in the coming election. We all wish them the best of luck. One is a republican and one Is a democrat, and how would It be to have twin presidents?? Carl Juste Is the leader of Juicy’s Jazz Band currently being starred In Red Hot Rhythm. He is regularly appearing In person at various hot spots In Los Angeles. Pierre D'Agraz, who was known as Nell Prlefert in his school days, ►as on hand to tell some of his experiences. As you know, Pierre came into stardom by playing the title role, originally intended for Charles Boyer, In Kllroy Slept Here. Merlin Ritchey Is now the strong man of the Rlngling Brothers Circus. He has not been able to decide to give his heart to the fat lady or to the lady midget. Both ladles are hopeful. Virginia Thompson Is Society Editor of the Chicago Dally Times. 6he started at the bottom as an ordinary reporter, and In typical Thompson style, she has risen to the top. Lois Dado Is now In charge of the younger children at the Green Kill Orphanage at Montpelier, Vermont. She enjoys this work very —11 — much, having always liked children. Bill Ely is a guide in Yellowstone National Park. You would be surprised how many girls have managed to get lost during the eight years that he has been working there. Betty Abbott, now better known as Madame Elizabeth, owns and oper- ates the biggest and best women’s fashion store in the world. This store is located in Paris. Mrs. Ray Peterson, formerly Doroihy McAvoy, is living happily with her husband south of Geneva, Nebraska. Anna Marie Goodrich is an athletic director at Miami Beach, Florida. She loves her work very much. Margareut Ackerman is now a lady rancher at Coyotte Gulch, Texas, She raises Blue Ribbon Texas Longhorns. She has her eye on a neigh- boring rancher. it it it it it it it it it it Back row left to right Bill Ely, Margareut Ackerman, Robert Albro, Dorothy McAvoy, Neil Priefert, Betty Abbott, Carl Justa, Miss Stowe, Sponsor; first row: Anna Marie Goodrich, Dorothy Jensen, Merlin Ritchey, Virginia Lee Thompson, Jerold Fishel, Lois Dado, John Fishel, Ina Belle Gillan. -12- SENIOR CLASS PLAY That Perkins Family Sponsored by Miss Stowe Well, here I am again.

They were shown to the dressing rooms where such remarks as: M0h, your hair looks fine, Let me borrow that eyelash curler a minute, Ina, and Is my tie correctly adjusted? could be heard. After each member of the class had posed before the camera and left his order with Mr. Haberman, the class went to the Clark Hotel where the private dining room was neserved for them. As it was necessary for all football players to be in Fairmont at 4:00, John Fishel, Bill Ely, Carl Justa, Virginia Thompson, and Anna Marie Goodrich left immediately after dinner. (Why didn't you tell us that girls could play football???) The remainder of the class divided into groups, some going on a shopping tour while a few at tended the afternoon show. Supper was eaten at Dale's Cafe. After a hilarious evening of sight-seeing and shopping the happy (?) group Journeyed home. The entire class expressed gratitude to Reverend Fishel, Gene Goodrich, and Neil Priefert who furnished transportation for the group. SENIOR CLASS PARTY An unusual party was held at the schoolhouse Friday evening, Feb- ruary 28, 1947. The seniors had not had a class party this year be- cause of the rush of other events. They had wanted a party to cele- brate the success of their play--and this was it. The girls prepared and served a supper in the Home Economics room. The menu consisted of Italian Spaghetti, Lemon Jello salad with mayonnaise, Parkerhouse rolls with home-made butter (yummy, yum 1), home-made ice cream (more yum), and coffee. The tables were tastefully arranged with a mirror centerpiece and candles. After all guests had found tnelr places at the table, Mr. Watkins served the spaghetti. He is exceptionally suited for such a task--and he looks good in an apron I After dinner three short films were shown in the school gym with Jerold Fishel at the controls. The films were a comedy, Tricky Troubles, a musical, Jose Iturbi, and a mystery-thriller, The Tell Tale Heart, by Edgar Allan Poe. The evening was finished with dancing in the Tiger Club Room. Special guests at the party were Mr. and Mrs. Watkins, Mrs. Ele- nora Murphy, Mr. Maurice Herrick, and Miss Ruth Hurst who helped the seniors on the night of their play. Everyone agreed that this was the finest party ever given by a class at Fairmont High School. The films at this party were shown on the projector for which the seniors contributed their play proceeds as their gift to the school. Hie following are six peculiar answers from a Civics Test: Rationalization is: (1) Everything rationed out equally. (2) Hiis has to do with each race thinking that it is better than other races. (3) Where one losea an arm and they have to teach him a new trade. (4) It is producing and raising a better breed of people. (5) The people you choose to associate with. (7) When a thing is below standard. . _14— BACCALAUREATE Processional Sunday May 18, 1947 Invocation- - - Solo- - - - - - Sermon- - - - - I Heard a Forest Praying- - - -Girls' Glee Club Benediction- - Recessional COMMENCEMENT Processional Friday May 23, 1947 Invocation- - - Father of Waters- -------- Clarinet Duet Salutatory Valedictory Climbin' Up The Mountain- - - - - Boys' Octette Address- ---------- -Dr. F.

Richards FRESHMEN INITIATION On Friday, September the 13th, 1946, the Green Freshmen were tor- tured by the Mighty Seniors of 1947. At noon of that day the Greenies came dressed as Sad Sack and Gravel Gerty. The boys, as Sad Sack, wore baggy overalls and carried brooms,‘and the girls, as Gravel Gerty, wore long dresses and long, stringy hair. They were taken downtown on a platform wagon, paraded through main street, and then were left to walk back to school all by their lonesomes in the rain. At the doors of Fairmont High School the class of 1947 waited fop the Greenies to come back to more bad luck. They had to bow to every senior and say, nI'm a low-down green freshman.” After school the Freshmen went.home to await the dreadful evening that was to come. It seems that the Greenies and one sophomore didn't like Ina Belle Gillan for taking all their combs away. We had a very fine crowd at the evening party. The little Greenies were shocked. (After riding the horse, that is.) We then played Plnchy Winchy. I guess little Francis Jacobsen really enjoyed it. John Flshel tried to teach the Freshmen how to pin water on the wall, but each time he tried it he spilled some water down a Greenie's neck. We don't know whether Mr. Herrick was all wet when he came to the party, but when he went home he was. The Freshmen girls kneeled before the queen who turned out to be Robert Quick, to the surprise of the girls. We then auctioned the Freshles off for what they were worth: a broken shoestring, a pin, as eraser and other items of no special value. Margareut Ackerman bought Mr. Herrick for the small sum of a screw. For refreshments we had a sack lunch--a hamburger, cookies, and cokes. After the lunch we danced three dances. The people who bought the freshmen had to dance with them the first dance. Everyone danced the last two dances. The Freshmen went home with a lowly appreciation of the superior- ity of the Seniors. (The seniors hope so, anyway.) Our first school dance was a Halloween Masquerade Ball held on October 19, 1946. It was held in the ballroom of dear old F.H.S. The ballroom was decorated with a variety of colored streamers. The lights were ornamented with crepe paper and hung with streamers and toy lanterns. The first orchestration of the evening was the rhyth- mic number Chlu-Chlu. During intermission we unmasked and were surprised to find out who some of the ghosts and goblins were. There was a mixture of witches, southern ladies, Boris Karloff, and Lena the Hyena. (Halloween Ball Continued) The winning costumes were those of a southern lady (Donna Shelley), a southern gentleman (Neil Preifert), a gypsy (Dorothy Jensen), and a clown (Don Langdon). The refreshments consisted of Witchesbrew and ffliostlets We again entered the ballroom and danced until dawn (?) and then went home?????? CHRISTMAS DANCE The students of Fairmont High School were highly honored on the night of December 13, 1946, by the invitation to a dance at the North Pole 6lven by Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus. The students arrived in reindeer-drawn sleighs. Immediately they were ushered to the Claus's ballroom which had been decorated by the brownies the nijit before. It was auorned with cedarbou0hs, red bells, mistletoe, and red and green streamers. Santa welcomed the quests and then they danced to the mellow music of the best orchestras at the North Pole. Durint the dancin you could hear screams, but we found out later that it was only the wolves of Fairmont making the rounds under the mistletoe. Dale Hall found out that Muriel Softley had lung power when he ot her cornered under the mistletoe. Miss Stowe dedicated two son6s: Blue Skies to John Fishel who had been out of school because of a long illness, and another to the only grade teacher brave enough to wear mistletoe in her halr--Mlss Bussell. (We're ohly spoofin'). Mrs. Claus asked the students to her kitchen, where they were treated to hot dogs, cokes, candy, and popcorn. We returned to the ballroom and danced until we heard Santa ring his bell, then the tifts were distributed. A good time was en jo red by all and we will never forget the beau- tiful decorations which were in everyone's opinion the nicest that FOOTBALL BANQUET The Pep Club honored the football bo s and guests at the annual Football Banquet In the Methodist Church dining room on the evening of December 6, 1946. The theme Grandma” was used In the decorations and program. The room was decoiated with our school colors, orange and black, and with our emblem, Tigers. The Pep Club girls, chose Grandma as the theme because of Mr. Watkins' legendary Grandma who could (he said) play better football than the boys. The menu consisted of: Drop Kick Salad, Tiger Loaf, Triple Threat Potatoes, Punt Formation Rolls, Grandma's Jam and Pickles, Pigskin Peas, Touchdown Pudding, and Dissolved Mud Balls. Chevrons and letters were given for each year the player lettered in football.

Army captain is a uniform with two chips on each shoulder. Battery acid is coffee. Blanket is a protection when dry, but a Joy-killer when wet. Blizzard is the inside of a fowl. Drizzle is two drips going together. Etiquette is the noise you don't make while eating soup. Halnt is a word that aint in the dictionary. Hight is the shortness of a person. Husband is a man who runs things around the house, especially the lawn mower and errands. Love is a frame of mind and the girl is the picture. Secret is something a woman tells everybody not to tell anybody. Stethoscope is a spy-glass for looking into people's chests with your ears. Time is a paragraph; life is a short sentence; and death is the period. Window screen is a device for keeping flies in the house. JOKES Mr. Herrick: Do you think the radio will ever replace the news- paper? Harold H.: No, you can't swat flies with a radio. Mrs. Broman: Were you entertaining a man in the kitchen last night? Marilyn H.: Well, that's for him to say; I was doing the best I could. Mrs. Murphy: A full meal lessens the acuteness of one's hearing. Lucile W.: I agree. I used to notice this effect after a full meal of watermelon. It lasted until I dug the seeds out of my ears. Teacher Bill E. Teacher Bill E. Giv’e me a sentence with an object. Teacher, you are very beautiful. What Is the object? A good grade. Annie G. to Dottle J.: A career is GK, but you can't run your hands through its hair. Ina Belle Gillan was taking State Merit exams and had this problem put to her: If a man buys an article for $12.24 and sells it for $9.74, does he gain or lose by the transaction? She pondered deeply, then answered; he gains on the «cents and loses on the dollars. The Fairmont, Nebraska, Board of Education voted to do away with final examinations in order to save paper. This being the case, we now come to a complete stop. •jhh:- —33— «! •; 2, ii� . ? S • o -, o it Acit nsr„ . Stoff| 4, 3© b, ; on. J so: , fc: ’ or; i -, Es i - -I. ; li, Csr.
