We look back on these three years with fond memories and recall all the wonderful activities in which our class has participated. As B-10's we elected our first class president, Tim Schiff. By plannig a picnic in Goodwin Gardens, he got our class off to a fun-filled three years at Fairfax. Our A-10 semester was highlighted by a roller skating party planned under the able leadership of Jerry Olivero, class pres- ident. Spirited by the vivacious Andi Weiss, B-l 1 President, we held our first noon dance in Greenway Court. No Castilian will ever forget the “starry night they spent in 11th Heaven, our Junior Prom, on December 4, 1959. Our radiant queen, Maggie Brody, and her court reigned over the most memorable occasion of our junior year. Ken Nepove, our A-l 1 class president, led us in an eventful semester. We had three major events that semester; a snow trip to Mt. Waterman, a hayride at Crestwood Stables, and a noon dance. The selection of our name CASTILIANS promised a truly successful senior year. During our A-l 1 semester we were pleased to find out that our class would be the first in the history of Fairfax to participate in the American Field Service program. During the summer, Marion Faber lived with a family in Germany, and at the present time, Tim Schiff is living in Norway. Both students have gained invaluable experience. Marion spoke at an assembly and Tim's letters have been read to the student body. With much enthusiasm we embarked upon our final year as Colonials. To start things off, we welcomed Helene Breslaw as a member of the mighty Castilian class. Heading our class was Steve Nepove, president, along with Bill Drabkin, Leila Kraut, Bar- bara Schor, and Joyce Steinberg. As Castilians we participated in many class activities. We joined the Capricians in our volleyball game and talent show “Antics at the Ash Grove. On December 15 we held our breakfast, “Jose’s Jubilee. No football season is complete without a homecoming queen, and this year the Castilians were well represented by Brenda Trojan. Throughout their senior year, several students have participated in the U.C.L.A.-L.A.C.C. Honors Program. These students are certainly a credit to their class and school. On January 30, we, the mighty Castilian class, began our last semester at Fairfax. Heading our class was Jeri Brown, presi- dent; Zach Samuels, vice-president; Vickie Segal, secretary; Al Erdynast, treasurer; and Bobi Danto, historian. Making the semes- ter more enjoyable, we participated in many varied activities. Our Senior Aye-Senior Bee talent show, Around the World from Athens to Castile, and the senior breakfast, “Jose’« Highland Fling, are two events that will long be remembered. Using Good- win Gardens as a Senior Court, we had two camera days which provided many candid shots for the annual. The selection of Ephe- bians was a very difficult choice with many students deserving the honor. The Senior Prom, Springtime In Spain was held on Friday night, June 2. It was an occasion that will always be remembered as the most memorable activity of our senior year. The commencement exercises, on June 15, 1961, marked the culmination of our high school career. Our sincerest thanks go to the wonderful counselors and faculty for their guidance throughout our three years at Fairfax. As we received our coveted diplo- mas, one thought crossed our minds—“Good-bye, Present; hello Future.
