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.

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.
