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.

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.
