CLASS FLOWER-White Carnation. enior Class Pla uThe Old Home Townlw A comedy in three acts was presented by the Senior Class in May '47, at the Town Hall. We wish to express our thanks to Miss Ross for her cooperation and aid in the producing of this play. THE STORY OF THE PLAY The action revolves around the Irving family. Andy is interested in the next door neighbor. Henry, the father, is a druggist whose business goes on the rocks when a chain store moves into town. The only way he can save his home is to buy the local hotel. He must have a thousand dol- lars to pay down and finds it hard to get. Mrs. Irving does not know about her husband's difficulties. Alice, the daughter has been in New York where she wrote a novel that everyone is talking about. Clark Kent is a cashier at the bank, who Alice was engaged to before going to New York. She broke the engagement because she wanted a career. In the meantime Henry asked Alice to loan him a thousand dollars. Then Alice tells that she is not a success and has no money. Then Henry tries to get the money from Tom his bachelor brother. Tom is a photographer and also a vol- unteer fireman. Henry then finds out that Tom has no money. Henry thinks Tom should sell his equipment and give him the money because Tom has stayed with the lrving's for ten years. Hefwould not do this so Clark finally said he would loan the money but discovers his savings are short. Then all turns out to be a success after running into many difficulties. Class Ili tory In September of 1935, four of our present members entered the first grade with Miss Tooker as the teacher. They were Norman Funk, Donald Sutherland fweidingerj, Paul Seidel and Joyce Rang. Miss Beck added a lot to our third and fourth year. There were no changes in our class personnel. Miss Willis ffieillyj was our instructor in the fifth and sixth grades. Phyllis Durling joined the class before Christmas in the fifth year and Virginia Keefer joined the group during the sixth year. The seventh and eighth years were happy years as we were able to have a variety of teachers and we could change classes. Phyllis Durling left us the first part of the seventh year and there were no other changes. Mr. Myers and Mrs. Hoyt were the sponsors. In ,43-,443 as freshmen, we were included in many of the high school activities. Many newcomers joined the class. Joanne Maerkisch re-en- tered our school and there were many students from Greenfield. They were Phyllis Durling, Robert Moser, Arden McClish, John C-etz. Jerry Minniear came from Willard. The last semester of the year Clarence Crose came from Norwalk to make our class complete with no more changes throughout Many activities have been resumed in the high school program. high school. enior Class Will Fate has brought us to our destination. We will always be looking for something new and better in life. But there are some high talents which are far too good to be taken away. Therefore we, the Senior Class of ,ll-6-347 do hereby leave the following things behind us: I, Arden McClish, do bequeath my ability to study scientifically to James Hackett. I, Donald Sutherland Weidinger, do bequeath my brown wavy hair to David Hite. l, Phyllis Durling, do bequeath my flirting ability to Eileen Lawrence. I, Virginia Keefer, do bequeath my quietness to Shirley McPherson. I, Joanne Maerkisch, do bequeath my industriousness to Elsie Blair. I, Jerry Minniear, do bequeath my wit to Gerald Huffman. I, Norman Funk, do bequeath my way with girls to Robert Lee. I, 'John Getz, do bequeath myinterest in school to Howard Riley. l, Paul Seidel, do bequeath my tallness to David Hite. I, Clarence Crose, do bequeath my quietness to Horace Willis. l, Joyce Hang, do bequeath my arguing to Shirley McPherson. Ulass Prophecy Five years have' passed after graduation and it is nice to look about and see that all of my schoolmates have done so well in the progress of mak- ing better people of themselves. They say that Phyllis Durling lives on a big farm onininety nine and is doing fine at rebuilding and making over the large house. She has been over to see me many times. Joanne Maerkisch has just finished college and is at home resting up before she gets her job. Virginia, l guess, is in Chicago going to business school so she can be a stenographer. Norm Funk is an aviation pilot and mechanic but his location at the present is not known. Robert Moser is a farmer on the other side of the road from his father and has made much progress with his very modern machinery. Arden McClish went to college and still he is going to college. I'll bet he will be a professor of Rocketry one of these days. Don Weidinger is still in the Army. He wasn't too keen about it at first but now he likes it a lot. He likes to get mail from his schoolmates and friends. Clarence Grose is a successful farmer up near Norwalk. lt is a small place but it is well kept. Paul Seidel is a truck driver but one of these days lill bet he will get back to the farm. . Jerry Minniear has taken up experimental farming. He travels a lot and gives many interesting speeches. He can be heard once a week over the radio on the farm program. John Getz seems to be doing well at his work but no one seems to know what he is doing. l think it is some sort of secret work. Before he settled down to a job he took a long tour of the United States. Mel lim a little bit of everything. l am a beautician. I have a home of my own. It really keeps me busy but I like my work. Every once in a while I see my school friends and we can always find enough to talk about. Oh yes and something else Fairfield has progressed a lot in five years. There are plans which are going into effect pretty soon concerning a new School house. Junior - Senior Reception The Juniors entertained the Seniors at a formal supper May 16, 1947.

Eleven players jour- neyed to the eastern part of the state for two games. lVlr. Sprow and Mr. Ruggles arranged the trip for the basketball squad. We left North Fairfield about 9:30 a. m. on February 7th. We visited the Akron Air- port and the Columbiana School before continuing to Fairfield Twp. School., ar- riving there about 2:30. We looked around the school, met some of their students, and then returned to Columbiana for dinner. Back to the school to try to get some rest before the game. Although we were sup- plied a cheering section and three cheer leaders by our opposing team we were de- feated 58-ll-8. By the time the game had ended every player on the team had been invited to spend the night with one of hte home team players. After the game we were treated to a party with hot dogs and all the trimmings. Saturday night we journeyed to the nearby town of New Waterford. Making the trip with us were the cheerleaders and a cheering section from Fairfield Twp. School. That was encouragement enough because we won that game 53-48. After the game we turned our course westward for the next stop-home. DEFENSE FRONT ROW-Left to Right: Robert Moser, Jerry Minnieur. BACK HOW: Phil Leak, Paul Seidel, Norman Funk.

We have taken part in several functions such as school assemblies, school play and operetta, and for the church and young peoples groups. The band as a whole made their first appearance in a concert with the Willard Male Chorus. The Band took a trip to Fremont to the North Central Ohio Music Com- petition Festival to listen to bands from this part of the state so that they might gain experience in this sort of competition. The Band wishes to express its appreciation for the cooperation and help received from the people of the community. The Band has taken part in a band festival which is being presented on May l, l947 at the High School. 1 The T orch-Light Staff l FRONT ROW-Left to Right: Norma Comiwuy, Dolores Wheeler, Shirley McPherson, Phyllis y Durling, Emma june Brown.
