CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1936, 2C eager youngsters crowded into Miss Westwood’s room for their first try at knowledge. The next year we wer promoted into the second grade where Lucile West joined our struggling band. Miss Barkley was our teacher for the second and ihird grade. Clarence and Clara Clark Lift us in the third grade. In the fourth and fifth grades, Miss Jackson was our instructor. It was dur- ing the fourth grade Chat Darrell Laschanzky and Bob Delaney joined our forces. During our sixth and seventh yar, Miss Bussell took over the great task of teaching us. During the se venth grade, Don LangcFon, Shirley Halsey and several others joined our group. It was during the last part of this y.ar that Marjorie Moyle left. • The eighth year cf our education was supervised by Miss Sandall. During this year, Robert Mason, Richard Mason and Rachel Ellis join, d our class. There was an enrollment of 21 at the start of the year but only fourteen were were Lit when they passed out thJ diplomas. The following students climbed the stairs to the high realms of knowledge. Just another bunch of freshmen: Don Huts'll, Jack Murrell, Bob Delaney, Dar- rell Laschanzky, Robert Mason, Raymond Jackson, Gayle Galusha, Harold Hall, Louis Moul, Delvin Roper, Don Langdon, Rachel Ellis, Lucile West, Jessie Schroe- d‘r, Donna Shelley, Hazel Schneider, Shirley Halsey, LaVerne Bures, Lillian Jac- obsen, Wilma Priefert, Ardith Faye Patton and Floyd Dado. Mrs. Murphy was cur sponsor during our freshman year, and the class offi- cers were: LaVerne Bures, presid nt; Delvin Roper, vice president; Bob Delaney, secretary, and Ardllth F'aye Patton, treasurer. Donald Langdon was the cnly one of the boys to letter in football, although several of he beys went out. No one did very much in basketball. We had a party, which, to our surprise, was a success. During our sophomore year, Imogene Cummings, Marilyn Heinz wen new- cem rs to the class, while Marj'orie Moyle and Clara Clark—former classmates— returned. Mrs. Murphy was again our class sponsor. Robert Mason served as president, Jessie Schroeder as vice president, Donna Shelley as secretary and Delvin Roper as treasurer. Don Hutsell, Rachel Ellis and Imogene Cummings left the last part of the year. Four sophcmcre boys participated in football: Delvin Roper, Don Langdon, Darrell Laschanzky and Donald Hu’tsell. Bob Delaney, Darrell Laschanzky, Don Langdon, Delvin Roper and Louis Moul helped support the basketball team. Rachel Ellis served as cheerleader in the p ‘p club. In our junior year, we were joined by Clarence Clark and Marilyn Dcmeier. Don Langdon had the great pleasure of being our class presid nt; Delvin Roper, vice president; Donna Shelley, secretary, and Wilma Priefert, treasurer. Mrs. Murphy again had the pleasure of being our sponsor. This year we had a large and gcod representation from the class out for foot- ball: Raymond Jackscn, Gayle Galusha, Bob Delaney, Darrell Laschanzky, Don Langdon, Louis Moul, Delvin Roper and Dick Mason. In basketball, we had six boys out—five of which were among the first ten. Den Langdon, Darrell La- schanzky and Bob Delaney were on the .first five, and Dick Mason. Delvin Roper and Harold Hall were good substitutes. LaVerne Bures and ,Marjorie Moyle were cheerleaders. Our class presented the play, “Drn’t Be Bashful.” Delvin taught Darrell how to manage his daugh- ter. Other memorable events were the Junior-Senior Banquet and our class picnic in Lincoln. Delvin Roper served as president, and Mrs. Murphy and Mr. Reed as sponsors. Jessie Schroeder and Clara Clark left. Clara has now entered the ranks of the married. Three senior girls—Donna Shelley, Marjorie Moyle and LaVerne Bures—were elected cheerleaders. Gayle Galusha, Raymond Jackson, Bob Delaney, Louis Moul, Dick Mason, Don Langdon, Darrell Laschanzky and Delvin Roper represented the class on the gridiron. Bob Delaney, Don Langd'on, Darrell Laschanzky. Delvin Roper, Dick Mason and Louis Moul went to bat for F.H.S. on the basketball floor. Six seniors took two days in March to And out what they didn’t know, when they took Regents’ Examinations. Our trip to Crete in October to have our pictures taken was a pleasurable trip for all. The Faculty Members for our last year of school were: HAROLD REED. IVAN R. MCCORMACK. LU ANN KNUTZEN, OWEN KNTJTZEN and ELENORA MURPHY The following students struggled over the road to success to complete twelve years of schooling togeth.r: HAROLD HALL, LOUIS MOUL, DONNA SHELLEY and ARDITH PATTON. Other special events that will long be remembered were: Football Banquet, Junior-Senior Banquet, Sneak Day and the Senior Play. At the time of writing, every senior is eagerly awaiting Commencement Exercises. CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of Fairmont High School, of the City of Fairmont, State of Nebraska, Union of the United States, Continent of North America, being of sound mind and memory, do make, publish, and declare this our Last Will and Testament, in manner and form as follows: Bob Delaney, holding his typist’s hand hand, gives his ability as an athlete to David Janda. He leaves his red hair to Charles Ellis. Louis Moul, brushing his mustache, h'as nothing to will anyone except his ability to get along with Mrs. Knutzen, and he wishes to keep it all to himself. Donald Langdon leaves Dale Hall the privilege to escort Doris West to all school activities, and his love of horses to Pauline Mason. LaVerne Bures bequeaths her ability to stay out of conversation to Nelda Adams. She leaves her pep to Viviene Priefert. Harold Hall, standing on his tiptoes, gladly leaves his height to Delbert Wink- ler—hoping that‘he will mak: the best of it. He leaves his ability to get along with the faculty to Don Maxfield. Donna Shelley, refreshing her lipstick, wills her typing speed to Vern, her slim legs to Doris West, her new look to Muriel Softley. Delvin Roper, w.eping on a stack of dictionaries, regretfully leaves his one and only to Bob Dawson—knowing he will take care of her. He leaves his ability to look innocent to Frank Rose. Darrell Laschanzky, dhewing the fat as usual, donates his gift of gab to Wayne Fleischauer, his voice to Duane Roper, and his pretty legs to James Foltz. Raymond Jackson, dashing to school, leaves his auto to anyone who can make it go, his hardy laugh to Bill Frazier, his perfect timing to Mrs. Murphy. Wilma Priefert, drooling over a chocolate sundae, wills her grades to Francis Jacobsen, her voice to Erma Storm, and her job as taxi driver to Loma Jensen. Marilyn Heinz, holding the patient’s hand, bequeaths her ambition to be an opera singer to Lois Lott, and she wills the right to look after Donna Heinz to George Patterson. Ardith Patton, draped over a chair, wills her ability to flirt and stay single to Darlene Hill. Sh: leaves. her ability to get to all games to Esther Baker. Shirley Halsey, cleaning her specs, sadly leaves her ability to get many gentle- men friends to Cherrill Burns and her giggles to Marjorie French, her seat in Business Training to anyone who can standi the strain or liks to argue. Lucile West leaves hdr voic.—'volume and all—to Vivienne Priefert, hoping it will not be overworked. To Esta Marie Spaihr goes the privilege of slapping peo- ple firmly on the back, saying “Hello Kid.” She has other things, but since she wishes to leave this school with something, she is taking them with her. Bob Mason, cleaning his shoes, bequeaths his brown and white saddles to Maxine Bauld—knowing they will be a perfect fit. He leaves his fingernail clip- pers to Mr. Reed. Bob says that he may loan them out as he sees fit. Bob Quick, with rings on his fingers and watches on his arms, leav.s his pro- minent job as Student Manager to all girls in F.HJS. (This includes keeping all the rings and watches, girl's!) Marilyn Dcmeier, sit ing in a Chevrolet, wills her ability to get along with the alumni to Virginia Biom'.in. She regretfully leaves her office job to Bob Ely. Lillian Jacobsen, busily studying, leaves her quiet disposition to Thelma Ma- son and her ambition to be a s ametress to Dale Hall. (He always has things all sewed up). Clarence Clark, pushing a broom, states that his skating ability goes to Rod- ney K., and his music ability to Vern Ju ta. Hazel Schneider, swearing on a stack of New Testaments, unwillingly be- queaths her ability to get in early to .Lcma Jensen, and her muscles to Lorraine Galusha. Gayle Galusha, shyly, says that Darlene Hill may have his arguing ability, his physics pap rs go to anyone who can read them, and his bashfulness to Keith Moul. Dick Mason, flexing his muscles, states that Maurice Hansen is to have his ability to get .along with girls; to Leo Bures goes his physique, and grumblingly he leaves Muriel free. Marjorie.Moyle, falling down iStaiis, cries out that Jerry Laschanzky may have her unwanted h:ight, Richard Langdon may have her cheerleading ability and to Kenneth Butt goes her knacik tc chew bubbl -gum. The entire SenioT Class leaves their Vacant seats in the back of the as- sembly to the successful part of the Junior iCloiss. IN WITNESS HEREOF, We have h.reto subscribed our names and affixed our Seals this fourtenth day Of May, in the year of Our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-Eight. CLASS PROPHECY As LaVerne B. and I, now registered nurses, relax after a hard d'ay on duty, we are interrupted by a knock on the door. Upon answering it we find ,ai mes- senger with a large package. We open it and disclose a carpet. Further ex- amination proves it a magic carpet, a gift from a former classmat:, Harold Hall. Harold is now known as “The,Great Magi,” -a very successful magician. A small enclosed card informs us “For successful use repeat the magic words 'Simbo, Sambo, Wham,.” We climb on the carpet and repeat “Simbo, Sambo, Wham” and immediately find ourselves floating in tfr; air. Our magic carpet ldwers as we enter .Fairmont. ALas, we see two beautifully cultivated farms—one belonging to Raymond Jackson, and the adjoining cne be- longing to Gayle Galusha. Raymond ,has ,a lov.ly wife to go with his beautiful farm. Gayle has yet to And a woman who can carry on as an intelligent con- versation as he. Our carpet lands at Nichols Station, now a very big concern. In fact every- thing in Fairmont h3s grown. It now has a population cf 5,COO and a nice size business section. It is a very progressive town. As we walk up to the new big railroad depot, we see the new, .handsome, red-head d agent, Bcb Delaney. He is accompanied by his charming wife, the former Donna Shelly, and low and be- hold, toddling by their sides are two very sharp-looking little r d-headed boys. We leave the depot and walk toward the old school house. Our eyes must be deceiving us, for where the old school house stood, ,we see a beautiful n w school building, a large auditorium, and a magnificent play ground —Mr. Reed’s dream come true. The f.ithful custodian, Clarenc. .Clark—who had taken over his grandfather’s position—informs us that the new buildings had to be constructed to accomodate the increasing number of new students in F.H.S. • Clarence leads us to a room entitled “Athletic Coach and Principal.” Here we find Don Lang- don. It se ms, after many years of successful coaching at Fairmont, Mr. Knut- zen had to take Mrs. Knutzen t)o a different climate for her health. Don had taken over Mr. Knutzen’s duties. We return to cur carpet and remain in the air a long time, when we drop over a big business Concern in Denver. During our exploration of the concern we run into Shirley Halsey, a secretary to the manager. Shirley had eyes for the manager until sh- learned that he had married his former secretary, Marjorie Mcyle. Although Marj was very efficient, she won her employer’s heart and finally led him to the altar. Through Shirley we learn that Lillian Jacobsen is running the largest greenhouse in Denver and we certainly must see her before we take our leave. We journey out to the gr.enhouse and find Lillian enjoying her position. We return to our carpet and leave (Denver. B fore too long we enter Wy- oming. We see a ranch. Across the top of the gate is written “Quick Bar X.” We bring our carpet to the ground and are met by Robert Quick—our former classmate, who is owner of the ranch. Bcb takes us into his small twenty-rocrr cottage. Upon entering, we run into Marilyn Domeier, Bob’s secretary and man- ager combined. After a delicious lunch we are escorted to the dam which is be- ing constructed cn Bob’s ranch. Much to our surprise we find Dick Mason in charge as chief engineer, and by his side—busily working—is Lucile West, his very efficient secretary. We leave Wyoming and land in California. Since one of California's great- est attractions is Hollywood, we journey out to see all the great movi stars. We get th.re just in time to see the stars file out of a studio after fininshing a scene. Following the .female stars is a familiar sight. Yes, none ether than Bob Mason. Bob is now fashion expert for Paramount. Bob accompanies us to one of Pasa- clena’s mcst exclusive night clubs for dinner. Here we are treated like kings. We are not long wondering why. «Louis Lamar Moul, proprietor, walks stealthily toward us. Louis is just as handsome as ever and still carries his dainty mus- tache. Louis joins us and we settle down in a heart-to-heart discussion of “the good old times.” We are distracted by a -confusion in the outer lobby. Louie excuses himself and gees to greet a dinner ,party .from “Pat’s Athltetic Club.” Pat's slogan is “Reduce Che easy wuy.” .Louie returns with Ardith Patton, the famous “Pat.” After much chit-chat, Pat insists upon taking La Verne and I to her spacious apartment, Pat .being the .athletic type, rises early and starts the day with the sport news. The longer the comm.ntator talks, the more 'sure I am that I have heard that voice befor.. I lidten intently. In signing off, the com- mentator says, “This is DelVin Roper, your news commentator, bidding you good morning.” We look at Ardith, amazed. ,She explains that she never misses any of Delvin’s famous news reports .from CBS. We climb wearily on cur carp t and repeat the magic words. Not a thing happens. We repeat the words agiin and again. Still nothing happens. We must get back to the hospital. Our only solution is airplane. We call the Union Airport and get reservation son the next plane. Walking up to the ticket win- dow, we are confronted by Hazel Schneider, the tick:t agent. We talk on and on Airport and get reservations on the next plane. Walking up to the ticket win- incomparable stewardess, Wilma Priefert. Wilma leads us to our seats, where we are joined by Darrell |Laschanzky, the pilot of the giant airliner. Darrell flies ’is safely back to Lincoln, where we resume our duties. All in all, I think the class cf “48” have proven themselves just to the big out- side world, don’t you? —By Marilyn Heinz. SENIOR CLASS SNEAK DAY Friday morning, th Fairmont high school Seniors started on their Sneak Day, and the destination was Omaha. The first stop was Boys Town, where the guide conducted the class through rooms and living quarters for the boys. It was a magnificent sight to see th. spacious grounds and fine buildings, and to sec the boys cheerfully working. Joselyn Memorial was a most challenging place, with its art and architecture. A few quiet mom nts were spent in the beautiful auditorium, listening to the art- ist playing the great organ. We lingered long enough to get a taste of the art treasure and to realiz. that we must see them again -and again to enjoy them. Several treats were in store at the Municipal Airport, where large passing r planes wore observed landing and (taking off. A highlight of this trip was the op- portunity to go up into the control tower, wher.- we saw planes take off by radio control. We ate lunch at Carter Lake and then proceeded to the Union Station. The next slop was Radio Station WOW, -where their 25th anniversary was in progress. From the flower-decked reception rooms, we went from room to room - broadcasting, recording library, control, news receiving—in seemingly endless numcer. The world seemed small indeed when the news was observed to pour in and out of teletype machines—from remote places, thousands of miles away. At 3:30 p. m., the class divided into small groups for a closer look at the city, follow- ing which all gath red at the Hill Hotel Dining Room for supper. After attend- ing n evening show, we left the City of Omaha behind—having seen 9 wonderful home for boys, an inspiring art museum, an interesting airport, a great railroad station, a tvsy radio station, and many c-ther places cf interest in a great city. Mrs. Murphy .and Mrs. Charles Langdon went with the senior o' ss of 1948 :s sponsors. 1 • SENIOR CLASS PLAY —- “JUST DUCKY” Cast of Characters Mr. Maxwell Mrs. Maxwell Betfty Lou Bernadine Wilbur_______ Hercules____ Connie______ Craig Moore Mr. Moore _ Del Marshall Aunt Mary _ Miss Blayne ____Delvin Roper ____Marilyn Heinz Ardlth Faye Patton ____Marjorie Moy'e Darrell Laschanzhy Donald Langdon ____LaVerne Bures ____Robert Mason _ Raymond Jackson ____Gayle Galusha _______Lucile We;� t ____Wilma Priefert What makes teen-age girls do the things that they do? That is a question. What should be done about them? That is a .problem. Betty Lou Maxwell and Bernadine Smith are a couple of questions and problems rolled into one. It s-ems that they’re always up to something, and, gee whiz, there’s just nc stopping them. But after all, girls will be girls. This day started off peacefully enougn at the Maxwell house—in fact—it was a whale of a day. Papa Maxwell had just been chosen as the new head of the citizen’s committe;. Why? Because he had one of the finest and most up-Standing families in the entire community. But it seems that BdttyiLou and Beradine had b:en wanting to write to Vester Blayne —who edits the love-lorn column in the local papers—and they chose this day. Of course, they had no problem. Heavens no! But doesn’t every girl have th. desire to send In a letter, anyway? So they proceed to .make one up, filled with pathos and deep heart throbs. It was really a “send.r.” Since they wanted to make it sound as desperate .as possible, they said that the writer was in love with a man, forty-five years of age, who had children— fouteen, fifteen and ninet en and that she was frantic and knew where she could get hold cf a shotgun. So they mailed their masterpiec., and waited in anticipation for the evening piper. But was their letter published? No! Instead1, Miss Blayne called on Mama Maxwell and unfolded to her the complete story cf Betty Lou’s “sad plight.” From there things reach one of the mcift feverish fever pitches ever crowded into one play. When Mr. Moor —the chairman, cf the citizen’s committee—and Del Marshall, a newspaper reporter, drop in for an interview with Papa Maxwell, the girls mistake Marshall .for th. county marshall, or the state marshall, or tt least some kind of marshall, so they cnce again go into a huddle. They just know that he’s there to arrest Betty Lou. So what cfo they decide? Insanity. Betty Lou will plead insanity; little brother Wilbur is coaxed into acting balmy, and they even go so far aslto prove that the entire family is i.uts—and they in- cluded Papa himself. From then on it's a complete free-for-all—with all the trimmings. Do things finally end all right? Oh yes. But not before you’re so weak and sore from laughter that the play would have to end, anyway. BACCALAUREATE SERVICES METHODIST CHURCH SUNDAY, MAY 16, 1948 8:00 P. M.

The “shooting” started at 2:00 o’cIock When each person had been shot, th y went out to seek entertainment of some kind until supper time. Some played a hall game in which you use sixteen balls, and a stick to hit the balls with; soon went out to Doane College for a visit, and others went to the high school. At supper time, we met at McGraw’s Studio and he took the cl:ss out to supper. After supper, we wer treated to a movie by Mr. Mc- Graw. The name of the show was “Welcome Stranger.” Amid lots of popcorn and o nversations with “strange p ople, some cf us managed to grasp the fchoug.it of the me vie and we enjoyed it very much. When the movie was over, the ice er am parlors did a rushing business for a while; then we loaded into cur cars for the journey home. We may have sp.nt more time if it were not for the football g me some cf the boys had to play th: next day. We arrived home safe and sound except for one flat tire and .a little trouble with Bob Mason. We do.i t know what was wrong with him; you had better ask Marjcrie and Marilyn Heinz about that.

The lighting was dark, and es- pecially in the corners. Oola La! Delvin R:per, as master of ceremonies, was announcer and record supervisor. The program was very well conducted—with circle dances, tags, girls and boys choice and statue dances.

Hm: Another of the couple dances was i “jitterbug” contest which was tied by Mr Reed and Donna Shelley, and Richard Langdon and N Ida Adams. All in all, everyone had loads of fun. At intermission, a v.cy nice lunch was served, and the dance was concluded with “Star Dust.” Everyone arrived home safely—in a round abcut way—in spite of many soaped windows. “CHRISTMAS DANCE” The members of our high school came to the gymnasium the evening of De- cember 18, at 7:00. Everyone brought a gift for the name he dr w, and lie placed it under the tabled Christmas tree. The dance began with “White Christmas.” Later there w.re contest dances and many others. The bells of Santa were soon heard and he kindly passed out th gifts. My what a familiar voice he had! At intermission, a snack was served, consisting of pimento cheesed Ritz crackers, potato chips, ice cream bars and pop. Th.re were a few more dances following this. My how some boys delighted at dancing under thia t “green leafed” stuff. The dance was closed with the re- quested repeat of White Christmas.

Many odd things filled the club room, among them wer Roper’s spare tire and a number of baby buggies. The King and Queen of Hearts burst through two large crepe paper Valentine hearts at the end of the hall to commence the evening of dancing. The King a ■'d Qu en were Darrell Lasch nzky and D:nna Shelley; their attendants were Donna Heinz, Bonnie Frazier, Maxine Bauld, Wayne Fleischauer, Bn E'.y and Keith Moul.

The following of- ficers were elected: President____________________________________________ Bonnie Frazier Vice Pr sident _______________________________________Lucile West Secretary _______________________________________ Esta Marie Spahr Treasurer _________________________._________________ Arlene Stetina Cheerleaders Donna Shelley, LaVerne Bures, Marjorie Moyle The girls decided to take several steps in promoting the rial value of our Pep Club. A committee drew up a constitution—which was voted in by the Pep Club. We all agr ed to abide by the rules, which were placed in the constitution. Two new cheerleaders were voted on for next year, after several girls tried out in frcnt of the Pep Club. The two receiving the position w re Carol Moul and Nelda Adams. These girls practiced with this year’s cheerleaders, and took part in the yelling at seme of the games this season. Our present cheerleaders—Donna, LaVerne and Marjorie—were awarded major letters at the Basketball Banquet, for their outstanding and super.'or service. Th girls decided tc change their uniforms. It was voted by the Pep Club that Terry Jackets would be added to the uniform—which would then consist ( f black slacks, white blouse and the new jackets. We purchased a new megaphone—Which is about three feet in length and one and one-half feet in diameter. The gir.s have been selling candy bars, apples, pop and hot dogs at our home games. Ws also have s.rved lunches after school programs—'which has proved satisfactory and quite profitable. The main function of a Pep Club is to yell for the team. Everyone shcuid know the yeils and What yell is going to be done. Yells should not insult the op- posing team ;r the Pep Club. A Pep C.ub shcuid s-11 refreshments at each game. A reliable member could be put in charge and made responsible. This not only teaches the girls reliability, but it makes profits for the Pep Club. There are several ways to entertain spectators. One of these which is very successful is iraichirg. A marching Pep Club may use many formations and drills ar.d can be veiy popular with the spectators if everything is done in the corr at attitude. Everyone shcuid have and wear the same uniform. The uniforms should be vvern tc all of the games and to school cn the daysef the games. The group should work for the good of school activiti s. Each member has a duty to attend games and yell for the boys. The cheerleaders of your P.p Club sh.uld be able tc lead the group and keep them together. They should co-oper- ate with them. A Pep Club should have rules and regulations which are enforced by the of- ficers. Some cf the rul s should be as follows: 1. Wear uniforms cn the day of games. 2. Attend all heme games. 3. £.t with t. e Pep Club at all games. 4. G: and re.urn in the same ear st games away from home. Cvher .rules may be voted by the individual Pep Club to meet their needs.

VOLLEYBALL There was quite a group of girls who turned out for volleyball this year. When school first start.d, we practiced outdoor volleyball, as well as football and baseball. As it grew colder, we began to practice volleyball in earnest, Mr. Re-d acting as coach. Our first game was scheduld with Western, December i9. The girls decided their outfits wculd consist of black shorts and white T-shiris, with an orange emblem. “Fairmont vs. Western” The girls who were chosen to play on t)h. first team when Fairmont encoun- tered Western wer. as follows: Doris West (captain), Shirley Halsey, Marilyn Heinz, Marjorn Moyle, Ardith Patten, LaVerne Bures. Hazel Schneider and Caro- lyn Goodrich. The Fairmont Tigerettes were well aware of the fact that they lacked skill in handling the ball—but wer. sure that more practice would make them able to beat the best. So we started—lacking in experience, but full f hop and enthusiasm. Western had mastered the art of spiking. We had n: experience in spiking, so we were unable to spike the ball but also unable to pick them up when West:rn spiked. We lost a good many of our points this way. Our teamwork wasn’t all it should have been either, but it improved as we played more volleyball. W.stem had 55 and we had 15 points at the end of the game. “Fairmont Loses To Bruning” Our first game with Bruning again found Fairmont cn the losing end. Mr. Reed was unable to find a winning combination, and 19 girls saw service in the game. Marilyn Heinz was chosen captain of this game. Bruning won with a score of 41 to Fairmont’s 16. “Fairmont Plays Shickley” January 8 found the Fairmont tesm dn Shickley, eagerly awaiting the game we were to play with the Shickl.y volleyball teaim. We started a different line- up from that used in the Western game. Shickley had a good team and the score was very clcse during th. first half. They would serve a few balls and get ahead of us, then we would gain the scores back. The score at the end of the first half was 17 to 14—Shickley in the le ad. We did better in the second half and the game ended with a score of 35 to 17 In Fairmont’s favor. Carclyn Goodrich was our captain. “McCool Upsets Fairmont’’ January 21, the Fairmont volleyball team had a gam; with the McCool team. The first half found the teams flighting for supremacy. At the end of the half, Fairmont was ahead. We dame back to play a slovenly gam:. We were unable to return bhe ball. Three minutes before the end of the gam . Mr. Reed took out the first team and let and let th: subs play. I musit say that they played as well or better than the first team had played in the last half. Scores made by the individual players w re: Marjorie Moyle (captain) 5, Ha- zel Schneider 2, Carolyn Goodrich 2, Doris West 3, Ardith Patton, Nelda Adams, LaVerne Bures 7. Marilyn Heinz 4. The scor.: McCool 4-6, Fairmont 24. “Practice Game With McCool” January 27, th. Fairmont volleyball team had another game with the McCool team. Unis game was just before the volleyball tournament. We tried to elim- inate the team to 12 players. It was impossibl:, so 14 girls were taken to McCool. Players and points: LaVerne Bures (cbptain) (6), Doris West (10), Carol Moul, Marjorie Moyle (3), Shirley Halsey (U.iOarclyn Goodrich (3), Hazel Schn.ider i), Ardith Patton (6), Lcma Jensen (1'). Final score: McCool 43, Fairmont 31. “Tournamunt At Tobias” Fairmont played Ong, January 29. at the Volleyball Tournament held at To- bias. Befor. the game stinted we dreamed up a slcgian which was to bring us luck, “Sourkraut.” I guess we needed more than a slogan to make us play a good game of volleyball. The starting lineup included: Ardith Patton (captain), Doris West, LaV rne Bures, Hazel Schneider, Marilyn Heinz, Carolyn Goodrich, Marjorie Mcyle and Donna Heinz. We lost by a score of 22 fo Ong’s 31. “Ong Defeats Fairmont” We played Ong, January 30, 1948. We just couldn’t seem to get on the beam It must have been because we remained at the tournament too late the night before. Hazel Schneider acted as captain. Final score: Fa'rmon . 22, Ong 25. “Fairmont Hows To Bruning” Tuesday, February 17, we went to Bruning. Again Fairmont foir d itself on the losing end. Scor s made by the team: Donna Heinz (captain 1), Doris West (1), Marjorie Moyle (1), Nelda Adams, LaVerne Bures (2), Ardith Patton, Hazel Schneider, Marilyn Heinz. Final score: Fairmont 5. Brunin.� 4C. Th. prediction fer nexlt year’s team is very favorable. A largo percent:ge of the girls are tall while Hods year, few of them stood over five fee ., four inches, most of them were about fiv. feet, two inohes tall. The eighth graders have put in quite a tit of practice this year and some of the freshmen nave played in a number of the r guLar scheduled games. So they have a pretty good idea of what the game Is all about. With all of the tall girls to pick from, one ought to be able to choose a good team of spikers. Tall girls aren’t the only thing that makes a volleyball team, however. It takes ability to handle the ball, and last but not least—(teamwork. FLASH: Everyone keep your eyes peeled for next year’s tianT. We re noping they’ll make a good showing.
