FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY The year of 1946, ushered the Freshman class into the Faucett High School with Miss Ebersole as our sponsor. We had twelve members in our class: Faucett Dallam, Arlene Dittemore, Bobby Robinson, Shirley Lou Isaacs, W. B. Stanton, Helen jean Grable, Donna Morgan, Freda De Maray, Charlie Anderson, Bob Calloway, Eugene Dunlap, and junior Hawkins. Later Freda and Charlie dropped out leaving ten. About a week after school started, we were initiatkd. This consisted of the girls wearing no hair pins, make-up, or hair bows, and wearing overalls. The boys had to wear dresses make-up and hair bows. Following the initiation, the High School gave the Freshrnan a party which we all enjoyed very much. Some of us in the Freshman Class got a chance to enter the Music and Scholastic Contests held at Rushville. Also the Freshman had to put on assembly programs twice--the like of which we will never forget. All of us Freshrnen are looking forward to being Sophomores next year and having more of the same fun we have enjoyed this year. ----Shirley Isaacs

LOG OF SCHOOL YEAR Life at school this year has been crammed with fun, frolic, and studies. The fun started when the Freshmen girls came to school wearing overalls and the boys came fixed up in dresses. They were somewhat embarrased, but were later repaid by a party given them by the school. A very entertaining Halloween program was provided for the community by a musical group. Most everyone stayed for the dance following, also. The junior Play, Take it Easy, was given in November with Mr. Marshall as director, and with the help of Loretta Spiek, a sophomore. This play created many laughs especially the old woman who was always getting naxnes mixed up. At the Christmas season the exchange of gifts and treat by teachers was enjoyed by all. Soon after the Christmas season, we lost one of our teachers, Mr. Marshall, with Mrs. Webb taking his place. The County Basketball-Volleyball tournarnent was held at Faucett High School this year with a record breaking attendance, and was shortly followed by the Grade School tournament. On March 231-d. and 2.4th., the Senior Play, Here Comes Charlie, sponsored by Miss Ebersole was held at the school with many laughs resulting. Several Sophornores and juniors helped to make this play a success. Many students of Faucett High took part in the Literary, Scholastic and Music contest held at Rushville. During the school year, an assembly was held every other Wednesday, with the different classes taking turns providing the program. This little portion of entertainment helped break the monotony of studies as well as provide entertainrnent for all. We have also enjoyed several educational performances held in our auditorium. Among them were the Parkinson Musical movies form Farm Extension Service, and various animal shows. Last but not least the students of Faucett High wish to express their thanks to our fine cooks, Mrs. Edna Waller and Mrs. Cuma Vincent for serving Such de1iCiOus 11011 101161165- ---Anna Bell Adkins
