In the spring ot this year we had a very beautiful and delectable steak dinner to which we were allowed to invite our “boy friends.” Our junior year is outstanding, too, because it was then for the first time that we were allowed to have “dates” in the evening—and to attend a dance at Fishburne. At last we have attained our goal—we are now dignified seniors, who are looking forward to graduation. This year, 1933-34, has been full of delightful events which will cause us to look back with sheer pleasure on our senior year at Fairfax Hall. Our May breakfast was one such occasion. The Junior College graduates have worked with us and helped us this year to make a success of our social as well as our scholastic affairs. We have marched—ten strong—toward graduation from our Alma Mater. Mary Elizabeth Barber, Florence Barnes, Carolyn Brouse, Helen Branaman Margaret Braun, Marjorie Crandall, Judy Davey, Louretta DeKyzer, Justine Lohr, Martha Kline, and Elane Romeike are the mem- bers of the 1934 senior class who are leaving Fairfax Hall for the last time. As we go, we are taking with us the cherished ideals which have been held up before us and toward which we have worked. We entered Fairfax Hall through her four gateways: the gateways of work, play, friendship, and worship. We have followed the paths which led from these gateways and have found satisfatcion in the knowledge that we have accomplished our purpose of improving ourselves both socially and itellectually.

Senior History OUR very short years ago we entered Fairfax Hall with the inten- tion of improving ourselves, both socially and intellectually. As Freshmen, we took no part whatsoever in the important social functions of the year, but in our Saturday night parties we did show what talent we had. It was in May of this year that the big event took place. A junior- senior reception—to which boys were invited—was substituted for the usual junior-senior banquet. As freshmen, we could take no part in this thrilling party, but we could anticipate a repetition of the event when we became juniors and seniors. Our Sophomore year was a successful, as well as an eventful one. It was successful in that we made our grades and passed from the status of “wise fools” to the lofty, dignified position of juniors! It was eventful because of the many extra-curricular activities which we were privileged to enjoy. We went on many interesting and instructive trips; we heard many worthwhile recitals; and we enjoyed some splendid plays. We worked hard in athletics this year in an attempt to be privileged to have “Sophomore Class” engraved on our athletic shield, but we had to leave this honor to the junior class. Many new girls joined our class during our junior year. They came just in time to help us give the first dance of our very own. This was not our last dance, however; we had many more during the year. The junior-senior dance in May was a memorable occasion. We believe that we, as hostesses, derived just as much pleasure in decorating the gymnasium and preparing for our party as our guests, the seniors and their friends, had in dancing, and enjoying the fun we had planned for them.
