SENIOR PICTURE DAY The Senicrs left at 12 o’clock, October 12. taking off for Crete. The occasion was to g t “shot” by Mac McGraw. Arriving there we signed in and were then allowed to do what we wished un- til tim for our pictures. Most of the girls spent their time in shopping, but the ..tys leit for destinations unltrxwn ?). Knute bought some new' shoes unu yrlene and Esta had an enlightening (?) conv rsaticn with old Bille Dind. Mac continued taking pictures until six o’clock, during which time Keith changed his order twic . Could that be because of Dixie. Mac took vs to h s apartment for a delicious buffet supper and gave us tickets lor “Gene With the Wind,” so eff we trek d to see the movie. After four hours of movie, we went back to the studio and received cur proofs. W then started for home, stopping at Friend where Knute thought twice be- fore trying Jerry’s specialty—ashes and drinking water. Finally, we reached Fairmont, tired but happy seniors.

Dawson Treasurer; Carolyn Goodrich, Seer tary; and Dale Hall, Reporter. This ' ear we find we had no one ou'b for football, but we had six players out for bas- ketball. All of these men were on the first ten or else were good memb rs of the . econd team. This year we think we had the most fun and enjoyment in pre- paring for the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. As school opens for our Senior year, we see all the old members with the excep- tion of Joyce Bondegard. We have Donna Avers as a new and prominent mean- er of the class. The class chose Robert Dawson, Presid nt; Keith Moul, Vice- n.-ident; Muriel Softley, Treasurer; and Esta Mari Spahr, Secretary. Our :-,onscr is Mr. Knu zen in our 12th year. We had Robert Dawson and Keith Moul Participating in football. We have five boys participating in basketball. Of these fiv , all are of the firgt eight men—‘two being on the first five. We are ( nsiderirg our Sneak Day as being of the most interest and value during our twelfth year. We wrill now close by looking at our diplomas to observ whether or not they are signed. SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of Fairmont High School, otherwise knowm as “the 49ers, : eing of sound mind and normal morals, present, our last wnll and testament, in manner and form as follows: First: Arl:ne St tina, with her right hand tightly clasped in the lawyer’s left hand, grudgingly bequeaths her trunk of love letters to Lcma Jensen, her soprano voice to Bert Adams, and her long hair to Viola Ackerman. Out of the kindness (,f her heart she leaves G orge to any girl who thinks she can win him. Second: D.nna Avers, looking longingly at her left hand, leaves Maxine Bauld her sparkler, h r Wednesday and Saturday night excursions to Donr.a Quick. To Norman Scuba goes her 'position as office girl, providing he takes care of Mr Reed. Third: Flcyd Dado steps up to will his manly biard to Marjorie French; his Model A goes to Ocrr.elia, if she will drive it to Chicago this summer. His talka- tiveness is left to N Ida. Fourth: Vtrn Justa flashes his smile and says he’d like to leave his pretty teeth to Thelma Mason, his Exet r girl friends to Bennie Pike. His technique on the cornet is left to Kenny MdClellan, and to Marion Smith goes his famous cackle. Fifth: Carolyn Goodrich ,on time for once, bequeaths her habit of being late to Bob Ely, her lcvely voice to Dale Moul. and her talents at the piano to Fuzzy Fleischauer. Sixth: Muriel Softley, peering into a mirror, wills her fuzzy hair cut to Lorraine Galusha, her lett rs from out of town are left to Pauline Mason—if she will promise to answer each one of them. Her pretty sweaters are left to Eyvonne Kubicek, «and with tears in her eyes, she leaves her dying ability to Marshall Hill for future use in play productions. S vcr.th: Keith Mcul. flipping the pages of a book, announces that- the book must be in the sole possession of Darrell Avers next year. We notice that th- titiie is “How To Remain An Eligible Bach lor.” His famous adams appile goes to Marshall Hill, and his vocabulary to Vivienne Priefert. Eighth: Esta Marie Spahr and Charles Ellis, looking—looking—looking deeply into each oth rs eyes, .leave their late hours and trips to the cemetery to Maurice and Jean. To Bob and Dor.ua goes the privilege of sitting together at 10 to 1.00 P. M., that is). The key to Esta’s frent door is left to Joanne in the hopes that he will manage to use it a little earlier than it has been in the past.

HALLOWE’EN PARTY Two gLiastly-looking ghosts met the Seniors and th- Knutzens at the dJoor of wha,t we had formerly believed wis Virginia Broman’s home. We shook hands with these ghosts and were taken in'to the front room wher. we met our fellow class member. All of them were alive so w.. saw no reason for us to die of fright. Knu e was happy to see the candy dish just as full as it was last year. Playing nmes came next on the list and w.. started with “Truth and Consequences,” Bonnie and Donna being smart enough to answer their questions nad an enjoy- a,bl time watching us do our consequences. We then had a peanut race and several relay races. We girls were “IJhrilled” when we got the chance to play Winkum-Blinkitm.” A lovely lunch was served by Mrs. Broman and we started ior hem' . Thank you, Virginia, for a swell'time. VALENTINE DANCE Valentir.es was the theme for the Senior’s All-School Dance, February 14, 1949. These valentines hung from all possible places in the gymnasium and on them weTe wriJUten all the verses 'that are usually found on valentines. The high-point of th evening was the crowning of the King and Queen of Hearts—Keith Moul and Donna Avers. Two drummers—-Carol Moul and Billy Frazier—and two trumpeters—Kenny McClellan and Duane Lovegrove—heralded the approach of the King and queen and their attendants. The king and queen wer crowned by the junior attendants—Lois Lott and Duaine Roper. Other at- tendans were Donna Galusha, Darrell Avers, Billy Jacobsen and Corrine Demaree. After the crowning, the remainder of the evening was passed in dancing. Many dedications gave interest to the program. A valentine lunch was then served, aft r which we departed from the school house. SNEAK DAY 4:30—chilly (?) Yes, but who cares. We were Omaha- bound for -that day we had been looking for, ever since we can remember. Everyone was present, even Carolyn who almost forgot to get up. What a contrast to V rn who didn’t even go to bed. • ’r We stopped first at Boys Town, where we visited the ‘trade school, chapel and Father Flanagan’s tomb. The new field house proved1 interesting! In search for th indoor swimming pool, we ran up and down many flighits of Stairs, opened every possible door and turned on all workable light switches. After several false alarms, the swimming pool was found iby Deris, who almost fell in, in an air of excitement. Our bus swiftly carried us ‘to Joslyn Memorial. We enjoyed our tour fo.re very much. An empty billfold was found by Jerry and used to trick the class, when it was intentionally dropped.
