A certain teacher In FHS is
a year older. Mr. Whitaker had
a birthday Thursday, Sept. 25.
His civics class presented him
with an appropriate gift ... a
toy pistol . . . The twlrler’s uni-
forms have finally come. Now
they won’t have to sit on the
curb at Gilpin’s Drug waiting
for the bus to bring them . . .
Band had pictures made Friday,
Sept. 26 . . . The twirlers have
a few pulled muscles in their
legs received while waiting for
for Mr. Klrgan to take the pic-
tures . . . Don Thornton has been
seen with a long face all week.
It seems his new trombone fell
from the bleachers at the
Teague game . . . Thursday
morning Mrs. Carroll glanced
at the blackboard and saw a
note written to her which read,
“Hewwo, Gwanny.’’. . . The Pep
Club had new uniforms for the
Teague game . . . Blue jeans
and white shirts . . . The Fu-
ture Homemakers and Future
Farmers go to the Dallas Fair
Oct. 4 . . . Fairfield Eagles play
Buffalo Friday, Sept. 3 . . .
Joyce Phillips’ voice has drop-
ped an octave since she began
cheerleading . . . Mackey Ivy
was in a state of nervous tension
the other day. He was unable
to find nine cents in bookkeep-
ing . . . The first signs of winter
are here . . . Wool skirts and
sweaters, football jackets, and
Kleenex . . . Saw Mrs. Darrow
sporting a mum at the Teague
game. Looked nice in contrast
with her muddy skirt . . .
Bookkeeping students aren’t the
only ones who get in a tight
spot. Monday morning, there
was almost a catastrophe—a
mouse got caught in the ventila-
tor.

Do You Have
A Balanced
Literary Diet?
In our school library you can
take your pick of books—
murder mystery, humor, ro-
mance, biography, or travel.
What you read is entirely up to
jyou. If, however, your reading
is limited to only one or two
types of books, your perspective
will be slightly warped and
colorless. Just as you need a
balanced food diet to grow and
develop, so a balanced reading
diet is a necessity if you want
a well-rounded literary acquaint-
ance. If a casual survey of the
comic strips or an occasional
murder mystery is the extent
of your literary appetite, you’re
lazy—yes, you are just plain
lazy! Find something new and
diffeient. Try a biography for a
change.
“Oh, who wants to wade
through a stuffy biography?” is
perhaps your comment at this
point. Well, maybe YOU might!
Have you ever tried one? Take,
for instance, Samuel L. Clemens
(Mark Twain), Henry Ford, or
Robert E. Lee. You're apt to
find them very fascinating and
enlightening, at least as much
as that juicy mystery you've
been concentrating on for the
last week.
So, the next time you go to
check out a book, ask the libr-
arian for the biography of some
interesting person of the past, or
a travel book. You know, “Truth
is stranger than fiction,” and
where can you find more truth
than in a biography?—By Billy
Bass Daniel.

FHS Bond Jive
After several weeks of wait-
ing, the majorette uniforms
finally arrived They are white
trimmed in gold, with three
rows of gold buttons on the
THE FAIRFIELD RECORDER, FAIRFIELD, FREESTONE COUNTY. TEXAS, THURSD
sleeves. Their hats and the top
to the drum major uniform did
not come in. Everyone hopes
they will come in for the next
game.
The band appeared in blue
jeans and white shirts Monday
night for the Teague game.
Despite the weather the band
went down the field, and did
step routines to “Bicycle Built
for Two,” “Skip to My Lou,"
“Damper Song,” "Oh! Where
Oh! Where Has My Little Dog
Gone,” “Little Leaden Soldiers,”
“My Bonnie Lies Over the
Ocean,” “Strolling Through the
Park,” and “Red River Valley.”
The band then went into a
company front and played
“Good Night Ladies” as they
bowed to the audience. This
same show was put on for the
Catholic High game.
Next Saturday, those in the
band that are not going to the
Dallas Fair, will go the Waco
for Baylor’s University’s annual
Band Day. In the half-time
activities, Meredith Wilson will
be guest and will direct his
composition “Seventy Six Trom-
bones” from “The Music Man.”
Don Thornton will represent
Fairfield in the show. He may
(of course) have to smooth out
a few dents in his beautiful
new trombone.

Senior Scoops
The seniors of the civics class
gave Mr. Whitaker a surprise
birthday party September 25.
He was presented with a very
attractive gift with which he
had some difficulty. It was
wrapped in several boxes. In
the package there was a very
small gun. Oh! A play derrenger
of course. He was later present-
ed a pair of very pretty cuff
links. Cookies and drinks were
served as refreshments.
The class was very pleased
with the success of the party.
“No Civics Test!”
The class motto was pre-
sented at the class meeting. It
is “The Word American Ends
in—I Can’.’
On October 14, at 7:30, the
senior class is planning an old
fashioned box supper in the
