Spending their lunch periods in maintaining order, the efficient members rush around the campus always in the midst of a clean-up, or some other calm- paign. Practicing the spirit of Fairfax self-government, the merm- bers are popularly elected from each grade. A jury composed of these representatives tries the trembling student offenders who come before the court accused of some infringment on school rule. The defender is given a fair chance to defend himself be- fore the decision is rendered. The court is supervised by the help- ful Faculty sponser, lvlr. Roger Williams, and presided over by the student president, Eddie Cameron. The aim of the court is to give Colonials practice in self-government and guide them toward' the goal of good citizenship.

Enforcing Fairfax law, even to the handing out of the dreaded summons, is the function of the Girls' Assize Court. The clean- up campaigns are usually under the supervision of these capable lady-jurists. The whole court system is patterned after the early judicial groups of colonial days thereby fitting in with the colonial atmosphere at Fairfax. ln accordance with the democratic student- government the court members are chosen from every grade by the class themselves. Once a term these hard-worked but con- scientious girls are allowed to let down their hair and have a good time at a semi annual picnic held with the boys' Court. GIRLS' ASSIZE COURT Back Row: R.
