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.

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.

This daily cooperation in all events is truly knightly . ln such stressing times as the first week of the term, when no one knows exactly where he is supposed to go, the Fairfax knights guide the be- wildered newcomers and console the old ones. ln the orange and apple campaign and the Community Chest Drive, they are ever to be seen, milk-bottle in hand, encouraging the Colonials to give.
