a — ————— The Senior Class History CHAP LER RULY IT was the Land of Make Believe when we as Freshmen first entered the | fairy palace of Fairfax Hall. I, Betty Emery, am the only one of that group of eager and hopeful girls who is left. Several unusual parties and the impressive Y. W. C. A. candle lighting service initiated us into Fairfax Hall, so that we immediately felt perfectly at home. We as Freshmen looked on with envy but with anticipation at the various dances given by the upper classmen to which friends from the near-by schools were guests. But we had to be content with a Baby Party, which was more appropriate for our class and which did justice to our little group. The passing of our beloved founder and friend, Mr. John Noble Maxwell, made us realize that we were “‘not at the top but climbing” towards the ideals and hopes which he had inspired in us. The first commencement we witnessed provoked awe and wonderment, but it served as an incentive to make us work harder toward our final goal of ‘“Seniorhood.” CHAPTER II In our Sophomore year, we partook of the fun of initiating new girls into the Land of Make Believe. We also enjoyed many unusual and interesting extracurricula events, such as; The Kreisler concert at the University of Virginia; S. M. A.’s “Struttin’ fo’ de Kake;” Miss Steward’s lecture; and a piano concert by Mrs. Clindblom. When May rolled around, and with it the Junior-Senior Reception, we were not yet privileged to attend, but we were consoled by the thought that we must postpone this pleasure for only one more short year. Commencement with its lovely and impressive exercises made us feel that we were “lifting better up to best,” and were making strides toward our ultimate aim. CHAPTER? IIL Now, we as the Junior Class had two aims towards which to strive: first, to work so that next year we could take up that position of high and mighty Seniors; second, to give the Senior Class a year that they would always remember. To our group we added Jane Nelson, our President, Kitty Gordon, and ‘Muriel Mason. | q Among the events that we shall look back on as never-to-be-forgotten ones are: The V. M. L-U. of Va. football game; Mr. Harold Loring, lecturer on Indian life; The New English Singers at Staunton; The Kingsland Marionettes; and at Charlottes- ville, the well known pianist, Myra Hess. At last came the long-waited-for Junior-Senior Reception. The enjoyable evening spent by the guests, as well as the hostesses, well rewarded us for our efforts in planning this party. So it was that “labor omnia vincit” proved true, for next year we were to be Seniors!
