Swan, the Knights uphold the highest ideals of good scholars, hard workers, and fine personalities. The Hfteen members of this group cooperate with students and faculty in every pos- sible way. They assist the teachers by enrolling new pupils at the beginning of each term, in turn, they guide the new-comers about until everyone is straightened out. When the annual Hammel Street Apple and Orange Drive comes around, the Knights devote their time and energy to helping the Alphas collect fruit for the kid- dies at Hammel. Too, their services are indis- pensable during the Community Chest Drive. the Red Cross Collection. and the infantile Paralysis March of Dimes. These Knights take on an im- mense responsibility as well as an honor when they become one of the group. for they are in a showcase. so to speak. watched and admired con- stantly, they represent the goal of every boy in school. and they must fill their positions with ease and graciousness-all of which trains them further for adult thinking and intelligent action. Fulfilling the greatly desired office of president, who is known as the Chief-Knight. were John Reed, VV4-l. and John Beauchamp, Sail. At the end of each term the old members give a dinner for those who are newly chosen. S' 41 KNIGHTS Back Rolf: B. Mautner, D. Kinsey, G. lvestern, W. Potapov, E. Wlright, F. Simpson, D. Hardy. R.

Sponsored by the girls' vice-principal, Mrs. Mildred R. Brown, this group is the hardest one of several honor societies in which to obtain membership. These hfteen girls are chosen from the All, Bl2, and Al2 on the basis of character, scholarship, and leadership, and in accepting the membership, they accept a vast amount of work, at the same time, however, they attain the highest peak of success. The work of the Alphas is spread far and wide, for in addition to helping the Knights register new pupils. they give their cooperation to the Harnrnel Street Drive and other charitable work of the school. The semi-annual tea at the S711 ALPHAS end of each term, which is given for the purpose of acquainting prospective students with Fair- fax, is arranged entirely by the Alphas. With the Knights they escort the new students around school, and they sponsor a dance which is a means by which still more strangers may become acquainted. The group has no constitution and so no written rule for the electing of officers, but it has always been the custom to elect as president a Senior A girl who has been an Alpha at least one term and who holds no other major office in school. This policy is an example of their sense of fairness and honor. The girls who ofhciated during the last two terms were Natalie Burres and Helen Weiglit. Back Row: W. Robings, M. Chipman, E. Boyer, L. Roach, B. Miller, P. Tyer. Front Row: B. Shipley, M. Chandler, B. Baker, R. Stone, H. Weight, J. Phe- hus, P. Diehl

W'41 SERVITORS Seated: K. Smith, F. Cherney, C. Goldenberg, D. Friedman. Standing: Mr. R. W. Detter. Servitors The Servitors organization was planned so that those who placed second in the student-body elections might still have an opportunity to serve the school. This group provides an answer to the question of how to utilize the talents and abilities of these students, for while there are not enough offices in student government to be given to every deserving pupil, a place can al- ways be found for a good worker. Servitors are kept busy by helping with the many drives and S211 SERVITORS campaigns which are conducted at Fairfaxg their main objective is to show the true friendly spirit of Fairfax and to help those who are having difficulty in fitting in with the scheme of things. Under the guidance of Mr. Detter. it has grown to be an active group which keeps its capable members busy. Acting as leaders of the club for the past year were Christina Goldenberg, Willl, and Kenneth Smith, S'Lll. Sealcrl: J. Gihney, B. Miller. Standing: D. Friedman, C. Chamberlain, J. Anthony, K.
