THE YEAR'S CALENDAR CContinuedj Jinky DeVore, Bobby Innes, and Carlos McCullough, all of whom head for Central College. 15-1Mr. Todd and the basketball boys are off to Paris CMo.D for the tourna- ment at P.H.S. Fayette opens in victory by turning back Bethel, 35 to 26. 16-Center proves easy for the Falcons, and the team runs up a 25-18 score Saturday afternoon, advancing to the championship tilt. McCullough, although injured in the Center game, Rlays against Paris in his last game for the Black and Gold, and the boys fight throug to a well-earned victory and the championship of the Paris Tournament. 19-The up and 'coming Freshmen present the first class assembly of the year, and a new star, Paul Clingenpeel, rises to the fore. tCling still owes me six bits for that plugh. 23-A large group of Fayette rooters follow the Falcons to Glasgow for the third colorful Fayette-Glasgow encounter of the season. Although McCullough is gone, the boys put up a great battle before going down to defeat by only three points, 20 to 23. This marked the first time Glasgow had turned the trick since Nov., 1941. 2-The New Franklin Bulldogs come back to Daly Gym for a February second time and this time are able to cash in a win, 28-24. 5-The eager females of good old F.H.S. get their chance. Yes, it's a Reverse Dance and all the gals grab their men and rush them over to Daly for the Valentine's Day Hedgehop. We're all in the groove, and this danc is pro- nounced the biggest success of all. 9-It's our turn today. Our well loved teachers perform in assembly, and surprise us all with their dramatic ability. 16-It's Home- coming, and Martha Rogers and Carlos McCullough rein, but the Boonville Pirates s oil things by taking both ends of the double-header. The Falcons did their best, tgough, and the breaks beat them by only the narrowest of margins. 23-We didn't know what talent there was in the Junior Class until they presented The Big Shot in assembly, and we still don't know what talent there is in the Junior Class. Every- thing would have been all right if that stupid Varner hadn't tried to steal the show. 26--The Falcons can't seem to shake their losing ways, and are eliminated from Glas- gow's sub-regional tourney by Huntsville in the last basketball game of the season for our boys. h 6-Miss Danford takes her willing and hard-working, if inexperienced, Marc debate squad to the Marshall tournament. We understand they had a right old time, even if they did win only two debates Wh118.1OSlIlg seven. After all, we can't all be Stephen Douglases. 8-We all find the Senior As- sembly's College of Musical Knowledge very enjoyable, although, after thoughtful consideration we conclude that the master of ceremonies, J. R. Walker, was a little prejudiced in his decisions. Solid is the word for the quartett's Be Not Disencour- aged number. 23-The salient Sophomores amuse us with their presentation of an old-fashioned melodrama, And the Villain Still Pursued Her, in assembly. Rogers creates a sensation with his zoot suit. 30-Our youngest class is certainly not back- ward on the stage, and the Seventh Grade surprises us all with their entertaining assembly program. A -1 2-The last all-school dance and party of the year draws out all those pr 1 who have a desire to lacerate the linoleum. Mr. Todd narrowly escaped death in the stage show, and in Physical Ed. we can hear Varner mumb- ling, Why didn't I hang that man, oh, w'hy didn't I hang -him! 6-The Junior-Sen- ior feud ends as the Juniors give in to the Seniors' demands for a banquet. And we thought the appeasement policy was dead. 8-It's 85 in the shade today, but there are ten boys in the halls of F.H.S. who wouldn't take off their sweaters if they were on the equator. Th reason is that those sweaters have big F's on them, and those lettermen deserve a world of praise. They didnft win all their ball games, but they hustled all the way, and we a l admire that fighting Falcon spirit. 13-The Eighth Grade presents a truth-or-consequences program as the last class assembly of the year. It proves a little embarrassing to some parties, but such is life. 16-The ambi- tious Juniors sponsor an old- time Box Supper in an effort to raise some money, and everyone has a rip-roaring time. As the Boone Brothers were persuaded NOT to per- form, a fine crowd attends. 30-We all head for Daly again. This time it's the Spring Musical and Miss Todd does a remarkable job in actually producing some en- tertainment from our Glee Clubs. M 7-The Senior Class comes through and grand fashion with their class GY play, Beg1nner's Luck. It was well worth the trip to Daly, especially if you happen to live across the street from the place. 13-The highlight of the social season! The Jovial Juniors are hosts to the Sophisticated Seniors for

The Year s Calendar 8- The Day of Doom. An abnormally small group of F.H.S. September students sadly turn their backs on vacation pleasure, and. trudge wearily down to the old brick building. Life is hard! 23-After being del- uged with corny slogans, and inspired by flaming oratory, we go to the polls and. elect Walker, Rogers, and Varner as our President, Vice-President, and Secretary- Treasurer. 25-It's Bond Rally Day in Fayette and we march for the cause. It rained, but that old pioneer spirit carried us through. 0 t b 10-The Scrap Iron Drive CMY, what memories that recallsb ends, C O er and after the debris is cleared away, it. is discerned that the Fresh- . - man Class wins the laurel wreath. Well done, Frosh! 16-The Jo- vlal Juniors open up the F.H.S. social season with an old-fashioned hayride. Some fun, eh, children? 31-The Juniors try their best. to make a success of the 'Zth annual Hallowe'en Carnival in spite of wartime conditions, and achieved their goal. Just to make it a big night, they elected Dorothy lvlcflutcheon and Lowell D. Allen as Car- nival Queen and King. 13-Itfs the first ball game of the season, and we cheer our November boys on to a victory over 1'1aI'I'lsbu1'g. A last, promising fiveg' - we agree. 17-Le's dance, ch1llun! Those who are nep and. those who aln't truck on down to the Daly Gym for the first all-scnool dance and party of the year. The Boone Brothers make their initial appearance in a fine floor show and are acclaimed an instantaneous success. zu-Four gallons of gas a week may discourage some people, but we dldn't complain, as tne distribution of those A cards enabled us to enjoy a two-day holiday. Libertas dulcis est. zo--lt's 'l'nanks- glvlng and freedom, blessed freedom, is ours for one nay. rm alraid tne majority of. us spent more time griping at getting only a one-day vacation than we did in being thankful. Thoughtless youth! 27-The Fayette five enters the Glasgow basketball tournament and defeats Powersville in the first game. 'l ne Falcons are hustlers and. fast, but because of their size, and because only two of the first five are experienced, what they can do in this tournament remains a matter of question. That night Blue Springs tell before the surprising Falcons, 33 to 14. 28-So once again it's Glasgow vs. Fayette in the championship contest. Displaying beautiful teamwork and fightlng their hearts out in an uphill battle, our boys in black and gold smash through to vic- tory on McCullough's last-second goal. The final score was 25 to 23, and the G.H.S- Tournament Championship is ours. Remember that blackout, kiddies? , 3-In spite of gasoline rationing and the tire shortage, our December faculty determinedly hits the road for the Kasas City teach- ers' meeting, and lor several reasons, we don't try to stop 'em- ll-We get alive to the jive once more at tne school's Xmas shindig. The Boone Brothers strut their stuff again and become the talk of the town. They only had two records that night- White Christmas and Tear lt Down, but 1 guess you can't. have everything. 14-Fayette had its first practice blackout for 20 minutes tonight. Wheel 15-It takes the boys two overtime periods to beat back the Bulldogs of New Franklin at Daly Gym, but they get the job done to the tune of 29 to 27. 22-The Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs, under the direction of Miss Todd Cwhat a job she hasll, collaborate to present the annual Christmas Cantata. 23-The Christmas season is. at hand, our holidays begin today, and everyone is happy. We skip light-heartedly away from the old brick building, little realizing we'll lose 40c on the bowl games- 4-School, drab and repulsive, takes up again 8-Prof. K. K. And- IClI'll,1ClI'Y erson brings his Central College Band to our little school, and gives us a very enjoyable assembly. 12-A screaming crowd packs Daly Gym to the rafters for the colorful Fayette-Glasgow basketball contest. Yes, and the old Black and Gold took the measure of the Yellowjackets that memorable night, 33-31, for the second time of the season. The Falcons ride high! 15-Why is every- body rushing around the halls mumbling rapidly to themselves, biting their finger- nails, staying up all night studying, of all things? Why do all the teachers have that fiendish gleam of delight in their eyes? Why did three members of the Trig. Class commit suicide? The answer to all these questions is-It's time for semester exams. What a week! On this last day we tear.ully bid farewell to three well-liked Seniors,

THE YEAR'S CALENDAR CContinuedD the much-discussed and bantered Banquet. A night we won't soon forget. 22-Our last get-together of the schooifyear, the annual school picnic. We enjoy it to the full- est, realizing how luck? we 5 still be having picnics. 23-The old school year is drawing rapidly to a c ose, an e Baccalaureate services to impx-ex this fact on the inhabitants of .H.S. 25-It's umrxxgcement, the Seniors are awarded their diplo- mas amd prepare to shove off for p unknown. They're a great bunch and we'll miss em. K K D i Well, it's been a crazy year, a turbulent year, a war year, but there are things that happened this year that we will never forget. Little things like: Walker and McCullough giving off with the Einstein in that Trig. Class, Brower hitting the 90's in Typing 1, the Boone Brothers, dancing, playing the foolg Mr. Sutton placing that crown on D. Mac's head, that expression on Walker's face as he went up the court, holding that hurt elbowg the sight of 'McCu11ough's figure racing down the court in the last seconds of the Glasgow tournament, and that feeling of confidence you had in himg Miss Cloyd looking out of the window in Latin, Doing the Rattamagod' at Lizzie Denny'sg hearing Perry's laugh at the showg complaining in Physical Ed., and Mr. Todd striding up the aisle in assembly. All this will live in our memories, and in future years we will look back on this old year of '42-'43 with fondness, and, silly though it may seem now, with longing.
