The Studious Type looking up CLASS HISTORY Out of the nine senior only two started the long road to knowledge togetb- er and have struggled through all twelve grades together. They are Marvin Swartz and Marjorie Jensen. In the fall of 1940, eight eager and smiling youngsters, with tnelr pencil boxes tucked under their arms, shuffled Into the first grade room where they were greeted by Miss Weber. Having succeeded In the first grade, we were pro- moted to the second grade and put under the rigid supervision of Mlsa Swanson. Roberta Halsey and Barbara Hiatt Joined us that year. By rapid promotion we passed to the third grade and were welcomed by Mlsa Stewart. That year we lost Patty Walradt, who moved to Omaha, but we gained Sandra Horst and Bandall FlabeL In the fourth and fifth grades Mias Jackson was our Instructor. It was In this room that Marjorie Jensen seemed to have trouble finding her own seat all the time. The last part of the fourth grade brought Joyoe Koca Into our midst. That year we lost Janice Phllaon and Verla Jones and Roberta Halsey returned to country school. Next came the sixth grade with very little excitement. Mlsa Buaselle was the unfortunate teacher, and Bill Gallup was our new student. In the seventh grade we had Mias Sandall for about alx weeks and then Mlsa Zeleny took over the great task of trying to teaoh us something. Just aak Ran- dall Plshel and Marvin Swartr how It works to put chalk and acid In Ink 1 Vala- dlne Mlobaells and Marjorie Bauld were the new pupils. We stayed In the same room for the eighth grade but had Mr. Montgomery for our teaober. Tineent Bato cock Joined us and Roberta Halaey rejoined ua in our struggle. In the eighth grade we had a basketball team that won first plaoe In the Grade Sohoel Tourna- ment held at Ong. I wonder how Randall Flahel and Mr. Montgomery got along that year?? Nine green-looking freshles were Joined by four more eager freshmen from the country, bringing our total enrollment to thirteen. MarjorleBauld and Ben- dall Flshel left ua In the ailddle of that year. The next year we became sophi- sticated sophomores. Nothing of Importance happened this year ao we eutoantl- cally became Juniora. In our Junior year we preaented the play, Oh Promise Me. The Jr. -Sri Banquet, with the theme of, Southern Plantation Party, we a ala an Important activity of the year. Valadlne Mlohaella moved to Bellevue in mld-yeer, end Vincent Babcock left after sohool was out. Mr. Kinley was our sponsor the first tbree years of high school. Finally our last year came and Miss Allen was our sponsor. W enthusiast- ically began the year by Initiating the poor green freshles. Following in rapid succession were lessons, having our ploturea taken and slaving on the annual. Aa spring rolled around, the Juniors were our hoata at the Jr.-Sr. Banquet-Prom.and we were busy putting on the class play, addressing announcements, and making preparations for baccalaureate and commencement. It was a tough pull Wnt me all made It---Whew I a CLASS WILL . nineteen hundred fifty-three year, we, the Senior Class of Fair- mont High school, being of sound mind and body do declare tnla to be our last win and testament. she g j!'R.If ——i sadiy Hl11� 5«r � ubum locks to Beverly Slaughter, providing she gives it the best of care.

MARVIN SWARTZ, herding his faithful Plymouth, wills his abll- ity to have a good time on Saturday night to Shirley Tutty, and giving forth with a mighty blast, gives his cornet to Dick Smith, hoping he'll practice every whole class leaves its friendly smile and winning way to the Senior class of next year. IN WITNESS WHEREOF we have hereunto set our hands and affixed our seal at our high school in the city of Fairmont and the State of Nebraska this the dav of May 1953- Tne 1953 Senior Class Fairmont High School resident Secretary CUSS PROPHECY Miss Allen, now teaching on Mars, decides to Journey to Earth in her Pon- tiac flying saucer” to look in on the class of '53. She stopped first at the hospital in Burlington, Iowa,where she found ROBERTA HALSEY ROBERTS,a registered nurse, busy at her work. She is happy in her marriage and successful in her career. Flying westward a silver Jet zooms past her saucer. It Immediately circles and comes back, and who should be piloting it? None other than LT. JOYCE KOCA of the United States Women's Air Force. Joyce is now stationed at Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha. After a short visit in mid-air the saucer flies on to Fairmont where Miss Allen finds VALERIE DAWSON ELY living on a farm near Fairmont. She is happily married. Next the saucer stops at the MARVIN SWARTZ farm. Marvin is very well es- tablished in his profession, but he seems to be raising everything but kids.He is a confirmed bachelor. Miss Allen skips over to Denver and finds MARJORIE JENSEN. Marge is now secretary to the President of the Snappy Rubber Bands Co. Through the grapevine we hear that the rock she's totin comes from her boss. The saucer flies to Reno, Nevada, and upon arrival Miss Allen finds that CHAN KOMAREK'S lawyer business is prospering. He has been in business for three years and he enjoys his work. After leaving Reno, the flying saucer stops at the Naval Air Base in San Diego, California. Here she finds ADMIRAL JACK SNODGRASS and his wife.Delila. They are to sail soon for Hawaii on business and pleasure. Stopping in Albuquerque, New Mexico,she chances to see SANDRA HURST RAUSCHER and her husband returning to Sutton from a second honeymoon. They have been happily married for 5 years. Making a U-turn Miss Allen starts toward Chicago, where BEVERLY HULSE is secretary to her husband and boss. Her husband is president of Fairmont Foods. From her observation Miss Allen concludes that the members of the class of |J3 have gone straight since their pardon from Alcatraz No. II.

JUNIOR -SENT OR BANQUET The evening of Friday, May 1, was a big occasion for Fairmont High. On that night the annual Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom was held. The Juniors spent much time and effort in order to give a successful banquet to the Seniors. In spite of the fact that it was a lot of hard work I'm sure we'll all agree that it was very worth while. Tho theme,Oriental Gardens, was carried Page 2 out in good stylo by a very realistic gar- den and a pagoda shaped patio. Orien- tal lanterns, fans, umbrellas, and hats also helped to carry out the theme. After n delicious moal, Marv Nichols welcomed the seniors and tho faculty and Joyce Koca gave tho son'or's response. Also on the program were a very talented trio, two piano num- bers, the senior class will, and the 3enior class prophecy. It was a very amusing and entertaining pro- gram. At 8:30 the doors wore opened to the underclassmen who joined us for the dance. All other peo- ple wore allowed to como in and took at the decorations and watch tho dance. Gene Harding's or- chestra provided us with some very good dance music while Mr. Green did a little vocalizing. I'm sure everyono will agree with me that it was a success- ful banquet and the juniors certainly hope everyone had a good time. Jo Anr. Pollock Page One of the .Senior classes outstanding members Is Sandra Hurst, who Is known to just about every- one as Sandy . � � hen asked about her school career and what she obtained from It, her answer was, Plenty of hard work and a lot of fun. Sandra has worked hard for two years to major In commercial and pre- care for a steno- grapher’s job, but during her Sr. year she decided that she would rather take up teaching as her pro- fession. The subjects that Sandra qualifies as her most helpful ?re English and a 3 ernes ter of geography. Her thoughts nave changed since her Freshman year. She now wishes she had It all to do over so she could work twice as hard on all her sub- jects and get ready for her teaching ca- reer. Her special hob )iss are dancing, roller skating, and parties, and one more tna t she vlll add this summer is attending summer school. Jdyc-e Busselle TIGER TALES 55 OF May li;, J J Jsi Marjorie Jensen, a member of the grad- uating class, has just given me the low-down on her plans for the future--near future that Is. She Is now working at the local bank and plans to continue working tnere throughout the summer. I asked her about going to col- lege and the answer was, No. I don't think so. During high school Marge has been ac- tive in many outside activities such 03; band, mixed chorus, girls' glee, clarinet quart ?t, pep club, and volleyball. She was class secretary in her sophomore year. Her main interests are music and sports and the nickname she has acquired is Marge. To her, the courses proven to oe mo31 helpful are, English and commer- cial. From ' her re- cord in school, I think we can safely 3ay that Marge will be successful In her life, just beginning. Card Horner A 0 hJA Beverly b better, known to us as Bev , started her years of school In a country school. She started to town school when she was a Freshman. She has been a very active girl In her high school years, taking part In Pep- club and girls'glee for four yearn. Dur- ing her Sophomore and Junior Years she was Vice President of her class and joined the mixed chorus. When she was a Freshman and Sophomore she was In Volleyball. She has been very active In 4-H work, also. When she gets out of school she plans to get a job and then later on taking nurse's training. Beverly says that her favorite subjects In high school were typ- ing and Home Sc. She said that the subject that did hor the most good In high school was typing. nd, If she had it to do over again, she would have taken shorthand and maybe a correspondence course. irbara Lott May II4., 1953 John Snodgrass, better known as Jack liked sports and was no star but was an above average footbal and track man. As far as basketball was con- cerned Jack was too fast for his co- ordination so he took up the job cf stooge” or student manager. Jack was no honor roll student but he kept off tbe down list too. When I asked him what office he held, he said, I was treas- urer cfour dear Ittle class fcr three years” When it came to music Jack also liked to sing. He sang in mixed chorus aifiboys' glee. Outside of school Jack worked in dif- ferent 1|H clubs, such as, beef,swine, trac- tor club and forestry. His hobby is wood- carving and he does nice work. I asked Jack what he got out of school and if he would do it different if he had the chance to do it over. He said, I got out of school what I put in it and if I had the chance over I would do it much dif- ferently. Jack is leaving the 1909 brick school house with nadefinite plans except he is not going-on to school. He is going to try to get a job an the rail- road. TIGER TALES Valerie is one of the nine Seniors who shows much ambition and ability to work ahe ad. Valerie plans on going to Lincoln as soon as school is out, and getting a job with commercial work, as well as attending Lincoln School of Commerce at night. Hobbies ard special interest that she en- joyed were volleyball and vocal musio . Her main interest is commerc ial. Valerie's most popular nicknames were Val , Vickey , and Red. She stated that she felt that she had gotten a good educa- tion and the commer- cial she has taken will be the most helpful. If she had it to do over she said she would have tried to have gotten another year of math and a second year of typing. Valerie showed much interest in pep- olub, girls' glee, mixed chorus, triple trio, served asc-less treasurer, vice pres- ident, Annual assis- tant editor and en- joyed athletics very much.

She has been a member of the pep club for four years serving as treasurer in her Jr. year and as president in her Sr. year. Roberta has been very active in sports and music during her four years of high school. Perhaps this accounts for her rating music and sports as her favorite pastime. She has been a member of girls' glee, mixed chorus, triple trio, band, and has played on the girl's volley- ball team. Roberta was editor of the school paper during her Jr. and Sr. years. She was elected as deligate to Corn- husker Girls' State. Geometry and English rate as her most help- ful courses in high school.

The score was close so that a few points either way could have placed us higher. Heinz was the highest point maker for the Tigers. After the Confer- ence Meet a duel Meet with Exeter showed the Tigers as the better team by a few points. Heinz showed his skill with five first places. On April 28 the track team again ventured to Crete to the Do a ne Invitational where out of 35 teams in Class B Fairmont tied for eleventh, twelfth and thirteen- th with a second in the hundred yard dash. There were 50 teams altogether. Ihe team is looking forward to a fine year next year since they are losing only one senior, Marv Swartz. Don West SNEAK DAY Brrriinnngg went the alarm clocks of eleven sleepy people Friday morning, April 24. You see this TIGER TALES early awakening was the beginning of Sneak Week-end for the Fair- mont Seniors and tneir sponsors. We left our calling cards at dear old FHS and started for Kan- sas City, and after several coffee stops we arrived at our hotel, the Hotel Kansas Citian. Fol- lowing lunch v.e began a tour of the city, which was also con- tinued on Saturday. During our tours we saw the City Hall, Kansas City Museum, Liberty Memorial, and Unior Station. I would mention more of the sights of the city, but the Juniors are tired of hearing about them. I think they're jealous,don't you? We returned home Sunday evening and attempted to arouse our fair city, but vie didn’t succeed. Even though we were a bit tired, I'm sure we all enjoyed the trip. Mr. Green was said to have re- marked, Oh,wo had lots of fun—no sleep: Sandra Hurst RAINED OUT On May 5,the band members journeyed to Crete to join neigh- boring towns for a massed band concert at the Doane relay races. After an hour and a half of massed band practice wc found our own little groups and assembled for the parade, which Page 6 would ordinarily take us frop the college, down the big hill, through main street and back to the col- lege. Just as the Fairmont band was ready to step off, it started to sprinkle, and every step we took it sprinkled just that much harder un- til we finally had to stop. When we got back to the college it stopped raining long enough for everyone to eat and have somo leisure time before going to the concert. The concert started at seven o'clock be- fore the races start- ed. Nearly everyone left as soon as the concert was over. There were approx- imately 880 band mem- bers participating in this annual event. Barbara Lott XfoY, %X%X.%X.foX oX. oX jX%X$X I serve a purpose in this school On which no one can frown.

Pege 7: £§Mf Arrangements have been made for the Commencement exercises for the graduating class of 1953. The guest speaker is to be Dr. Frank A. Court, pastor of St. Paul Methodist Church in Lincoln, Nebraska. Dr. Court's work has taken him over a great deal of ter- ritory, he has been in eleven coun tries in iur •ope and in a .great deal of tho United ■eta te s . He conducts his own radio program. The Methodist Hour, over K. F. 0. R. We feel fortunate in having Dr. Court speak in Fairmont be- cause he can only fulfill a small per- centage of the many requests for addresses that he receives. Tne Valedictory 9dare3s will oe given by Roberta Halsey and the salutatory aduross will be given by Sandra Hurst. Jerry Heinz TIGER TALES BACCALAUREATE Tho Baccalaureate Services will be hold in tho Federated Church, Sunday,' May 17, 1953,at 3t 00 P.M.

To start out most of the juniors came to school the night before to rope off th3ir section of the assem’olv. Phis was done with crape paper strung around thr )3 sides of tho desks in that section. . 9 also hung streamers, which were fastened to the desks, from the lights. The next day tho juniors camo dressed in all kinds of rags which made them look very odd. I think everyone had lots of fun and will romomoor it for a long time, Almar Little May lip, 1953 MUSIC CONTEST Onco again fall Fairmont music stu- dents ventured to Genova to attond the District Music Con- test. We weren't quito a3 successful as we have been in post ye°rs, but gen- erally speaking wo did a good job.
