For that vision — no longer a flimsy day-dream, but finding its embodiment in Fairfax High School — we are indeed grateful. To that vision we dedicate this, our first volume of the Fare Far. Sampler . FOREWORD The class of 1936 has neither precedent nor tradition to guide it in its prepar- ation of this, the first volume of the Fare Fac Sampler. Instead, to this class has come the responsibility of establish- ing those first traditions of Fairfax High School that already begin to set it apart as an institution emphasizing the development of leadership, scholarship, and character. This class does not think of this responsibility in terms of hard- ship — rather, it recognizes the rare privilege of laboring in the faith that it was laying the foundations for an im- perishable institution. In keeping with those ideal-s which this class has striven to establish, it has been the earnest desire of the class to create a publica- tion worthy to stand as a precedent for those that are to follow. It is to this end that the class leaves this book as its record of achievement and as its memorial .

By Verna Flory We were weak insignificant freshmen As we launched our ship for the best, Sometimes waves towered high as a mountain And obstructed our way to success, But we worked and the way seemed to lighten As each feeble effort progressed. When barriers were broken we brightened, As toward our goal we pressed. Many pilots have pointed our way Cheering us when we were blue. They ' ve helped us in work and in play And through storms they have guided us, too. Some comrades have fallen discouraged, But many have fought their way through; Now we ' ve gained the goal by our courage Through the fight, to our aims we ' ve been true. Friends and teachers behind us we ' re leaving. Dear classmates Good Bye we must tell. As our highest desire we ' re achieving To our school we must say fare thee well. If to all parts of the earth we are scattered True to thy name we will be; Sweet memories can never be shattered Dear Fairfax, we ' ll not forget thee. We are the Class of 1936. We may be said to resemble all Gaul in that our class is composed of three major parts. There are those of us who came from Oakton on the north. There is a second group of us who came from Clifton on the south. There is yet a third group of us who came from Lee-Jackson on the east. Unlike all Gaul, however, there are others of this class who belonged to neither group but came from their various directions to join us in making the Class of 1936. And also unlike all Gaul we are not divided but have been cemented in- to one sturdy whole. Tn our respective places, we had done the usual things common to high school classes before coming to Fairfax. We had played basketball and baseball. We had taken part in plays. We had given banquets to Seniors before us. We had been freshmen, sophomores, and juniors respectively. We had elected officers and had had class meetings. We had studied some; had taken examinations; and had been promoted. We had had our share of measles, mumps, and whooping cough. Withal we had not been very different from the usual run of high school classes nor had we made any really great contribution. But, we had had a good time. And then we cane to Fairfax! A id not without some misgivings. There were memories of happy days we were leaving to go to we knew not what. To be sure there was a beautiful new building. But then, there was also a new principal, a new faculty, new ways of doing things, and pupils — numbers and numbers more than that to which we had been used. To face all these changes in our senior year was not easy. And yet we came; some through choice; some because we had to. Once we were here, it was not so bad after all. Adjustments had to be made, but we found we could make them. The building was all that we expected. The faculty was not as new as we had anticipated. Those of us who came from Oakton found Mrs. Stowe, Miss Proctor, Mr. Carl Levin and Mr. Compton here to greet us. Those of us who came from Clifton found a friend in Mrs. Hopper. Miss Reeley, Miss Ambler, and our principal were quite well-known to us who came from Lee-Jackson. And others of our group had worked under Mrs. Copeland and Miss Smoot. Other imagined difficulties proved to us the folly of crossing bridges before we come to them. In short, we found ourselves adjusted and were working together as a class in a very short time. As a class we have been active in all school activities. We have given our quota to such enterprises as the student court, hall monitors, dramatics club, glee club, and orchestra. We have become vocationally minded and have furnished vocational group leaders as well as having written themes. We have made our presence felt on the basketball court and baseball diamond. We have had our room adjudged the best decorated, and we have won an award for attendance. We have become civic minded and have written themes for the Washington Post. And yes, we must admit it, we have furnished our share of subtraction in detention hall. More than these we have studied. As our reward, we stand on the threshold of our graduation — the largest class to have been graduated in any Fai rfax County high school. We are proud of our achievements, and hope we have set a worthy example to those who follow. As we go out from Fairfax High School , our best wishes go to each teacher and pupil through the coming years. By Betty Bite Roger Buckley Roy Marshall We who are about to graduate from school life to Life ' s school feel the necessity for a creed to guide and strength- en us for the battles we must face in the future. Ours must be, and is, a creed in which we implicitly believe. We believe that no other school could have a creed quite so apt as ours, nor quite so fitting to our needs. Our faith and belief in our creed — as in our school will remain steadfast and unshaken through all the changes the forthcoming years may bring us. We believe that ours is the very best school we could have attended. We believe that our teachers, with their unswerving devotion to their duties, their inspiring example, and their unceasing patience and efforts in our behalf, have done more towards fitting us to face Life ' s problems than any other group of teachers anywhere could have done. We believe that we, both as a class and as individuals, are bound for great and happy things. No matter what height we may attain, we shall always recognize that the great training which our school and our faculty have given ns is primarily re- sponsible for the greatness and success we may achieve. We believe in ourselves and in our ability to demonstrate our gratitude to our school and our teachers, by our individual examples, for the start they have given us towards success. We believe in our motto: The elevator to success is broken : t ake the steps. What more need we say concerning our motto? The words themselves are expressive enough; we need but to remember and be guided by them always, and no goal in life need be beyond our reach. We believe in our class flower, the Tea Rose. Its beauty is comparable only with the beauty of Our school days. We believe in our class colors. Green and Gold the green symbolic of the many verdant fields of endeavor which we shall enter and conquer; the gold for the golden skies to which our eyes shall ever be turned in pursuit of our respective goals. Our love for our colors in second only to our love for our nation ' s colors, the Red , White and Blue of Liberty and Freedom. We believe in the Youth of today, who will be the world ' s important men and women of tomorrow, and in Youth ' s ability to do our share of the world ' s work just a bit better than preceding generations. In all the above things we believe wholeheartedly, and the memory of these happy days at school which we are about to complete — half regretfully, half eagerly — shall always be a spur to bigger and better things; our efforts in Life shall be unceasing, for have we not the inspiration of our creed to guide us? No matter how dark our horizons may be, the training to meet such crises which our school has given us, and the memory of our creed, will always strengthen us anew to face life ' s battles. No matter how golden our skies may be in the future, the recollection of these days at school and of the inspiring words of our creed cannot fail to give an added lift to our spirits. Our creed shall always be a barometer of our efforts in the tournament of Life. Should we ever find ourselves slipping toward medicocrity, we need only to remind ourselves of our creed and ask Am T living up to our creed? r; j i i n am i (it v « ' . r ; , ytgyrK fi i a; 5 xx xxx i Audrey Wells Sometimes life to ns may be like a bed of roses but we soon find that there are thorns to guard those roses and in order to get them we often get stuck many times. The saying that there is a cloud behind every sunbeam is certainly a true one; we may never expect to have all happiness and no sorrow. Certainly we must have some sorrow and bitterness, but the main thing is: take our sorrows with a s bold a front as we do our happiness. Can we do this, or are we going to be a set of grouches? It seems wonderful that we are seniors and have ac- complished so much, but this is always looked on from the sunny side. Few stop to think of the hardships we have had and have mastered in order to become seniors. Few see the failures, the hard work and punishments we have undergone. Those bad marks on our report cards that shouldn ' t be there, those demerits and detentions we shouldn ' t have! No, these are never known, but we, the senior class of ' 36 know these hardships, with many more. No one gives us a word of cheer, just work or fail. In Fairfax High School senior privileges seem to be something of the past. Mary favors we have asked of the faculty have passed unnoticed. Now can you wonder that we are not always gay? Why we even have trouble convincing some of our teachers that we are not the same little boys and girls that came to them four or more years ago, but now are grown-ups. W ' e feel as a class that we have borne more than any average mortal has been asked to bear. Why even the undergrades sometimes scorn us and we have to take it. If we rebel we get the worst end. So we will do our best not to grumble after we get out, and complain about what we got and what we didn ' t get. We will all try to be good sports and set examples for the ones who will follow in our tracks.

In every way Mrs. Hopper has been a willing and sympathetic friend, and it is to her that we are indebted for this book of memories which we may carry with us when we are no longer stud- ents in Fairfax High. Hello, Folks ! Did you know there was a sunny side of Fairfax High School? Well there is. This sunny side is composed of a tiny class -- only fifty-two seniors. The funny part is that most of these seniors try to act dignified -- one of them actually can. Do you know which one it is? Of course you do. It ' s Virgil Watt. Why the other day she was lying flat on the floor trying to count a dead spi- der ' s legs. Now isn ' t that dignified? Some of the members in our class are better known as: Joe Staub -- Lady killer of the gay thirties. Ava Landes — Old maid at heart. Roger Buckley -- Mustache raiser, but he might better use a razor. Annie Denny -- Klondike Annie ; her motto is Stay away from my door . Norman Smith — The retiring, modest, unsophisticated boy. (Believe it or not.) Mary Hottle -- The lady of many beaux. George Mock -- Tall, dark, and handsome; and so indifferent to the fair sex. Edna Watkins -- Underweight. She is so frail and thin that she can ' t keep up with her lessons. Tommy Adams -- Our crooner. He can even croon you to sleep. Jessie Nuckolls -- Onr queen. She got this place because she came up to certain characteristics; namely the best actor; theprettiest girl; h eal t h iest g i rl, and the finest cow (according to Miss Proctor). Tweede Brumback -- Class smart boy. He only needed a half day of school. Betty Hite — Most energetic little blond you can find. She is also a bit dizzy. Raymond Burton -- The villian who uses his dopey hair tonic to slay his enemies. Myrtle Crouch -- Our old fashioned lady. She always has to have a chaperon. Elizabeth Myers -- The girl with the sunny disposition. Roy Marshall -- The boy of many curls. Minnie Menefee -- Our prettiest girl if she would use a little make-up. Wellington Fairfax -- Noisiest boy of our class. Lillian Weaver -- Most modest senior. Mary Burke -- Class dunce. Now that I have given you a faint idea of what some of the seniors are like, I will tell you some of the peculiar things that have happened to them during the year. Have you noticed the attachment existing between Tdell Spindle and Elmer Hall? Well, the other day as they were eating lunch Idell asked Elmer, If I was to die suddenly darling, what would become of you? Elmer replied, I ' d stay here. The question is — what would become of you? Last month, on one of Miss Skelton ' s English tests she asked this question, When was Shakespeare born? Lester Weir wrote for an answer In the summer. On a recent field trip, Jo.hn Sherwood went into a noted restruant for his lunch. He ordered a chicken sandwich, and after taking a bite he called the waiter back. When the waiter returned he asked, Hey waiter, is this an incubator chicken? The waiter said, No, why? John replied, I was thinking a chicken with a mother couldn ' t be this tough. Pearl Skinner, you know, is one of our flirtiest flirts. The other day she came to school looking very broken hearted and Mildred Dodson asked her what was the matter. Pearl rolled her eyes up and said, Oh! I just met the right guy last night. Mildred answered Well, that ' s nothing to be so sad about. I know, said Pearl, but I gave him the wrong number. Arthur Godfrey sent word that he was going to crown Jessie Nuckools, our lay . 5 5 5 % j 7 0 XX Vi i : : ? i S � � « x i i I X Queen, by breaking a beer bottle over her head. Jessie sent word back to Mr. Godfrey to crack the bottle so that the beer would run in her mouth instead of her ears be- cause — well, it would tickle her ears. One day in class Annie Denny powdered her nose and she left a smear. Musette Sutphin was trying to smooth the powder when Miss Proc’tor caught her looking at Annie and said, Musette, are you g et t i ng an i nsp i rat ion f ron Ann i e 1 s face? Musette looked up real quick and said, Inspiration, heck! It ' s only powder. Some people should be thankf ul they don ' t have Mr. Smith for a teacher. His meth- od of teaching civics is this First, you go like greased lightning, then you nibble on it a while. Ava Landes doesn ' t like this method, she says he takes us for suckers . Since Norman Smith holds many offices at school he has the annoying tendency to boast about himself. He was saying to Milton Keeney the other day, Say, listen kid, I am the big cheese around here. Milton ' s reply was I thought I smelled limberger . As Mary Jane Young was primping in class she said, You know, I am kinda ' cute if you stop to think about it. Yeah! replied David Booker, The trouble is no- body ever stops to think about it. I guess you can see now why I say there is a sunny side to Fairfax High. Every- body should have known that there isn ' t all work and no play here, and until there is I ' ll remain E ster the Jester In F.H.S.

I sat at my desk and gazed wearily at the calendar, June l, 1956. My thoughts flashed back to that date twenty years before when I had graduated from Fairfax High School. Suddenly I became tired of my work, of the demands of business, of the bustle and grind of office work. Where were my classmates? What were they doing? I determined to find out. With this thought in mind, I started on my much needed vacation. New York first, of course. On the train whom should I see but Gene Feagan. Although he bustled around with an air of great importance, as train conductors always do, we chatted for a few minutes. I asked if he had seen any of our classmates of ' 36. From him I learned that Verna and Wendell have been visiting in this country, but are now on their way back to China. Coney Island, New York, such a sea of activity and amusement can hardly be imagined. The first person I saw was Tweede Rrumback. And he was running the Coaster Dip. Fairfax High graduates are hitting high places, I thought. However, he told me that Edna Watkins owns the biggest and best hot-dog stand on Coney Island. Later in the day I met Ava Landes. She had driven up with her hus- band and two children to spend their vacation in New York. My way back home took me through the farming section of Pennsylvania. My appre- ciation of the scenery was stopped abruptly by a blowout. And I had no patches. At a distance, I could see a green-and-white farmhouse nestling against the hill. I walked rapidly toward it thinking now nice it would be to live here if only one didn ' t have to have flat tires. At the door a pleasant, soft-spoken woman greeted me. It was Mary Hottle, now Mrs. Lester Weir. Eventually the tire was fixed and I went on my way. Once again in Baltimore, I wondered whom I would meet. Suddenly a young man hailed me. It was Joe Staub , who had lost his job and was thumbing his way back to Furke Station. He told me that he had been visiting Thomas Edwin Adams, Jr., who spent most of his time telling stories to Thomas Edwin Adams, III, to amuse him. After returning home, I saw a familiar face in a newspaper photo. The item an- nounced that Mary Burke, first woman president of the United States, -had appointed Hilda Bell Secretary of Commerce and Mary Elizabeth Hughes Secretary of State. The next day the same paper carried the announcement of President Burke ' s marriage to David Booker. Picking up a movie magazine one afternoon, I glanced at it carelessly. What should I find but a picture of Esther Savia who is now a professional dancer and is taking the place Ginger Rogers held back in ' 36. On the next page was the picture of the leader of the largest orchestra in America — Betty Hite. Then I remembered another girl T had known who had entered an entirely different field of music. Virginia Wilcox is the most celebrated organist of the Brethren Church in America. A few days later I happened to meet Virginia McCarthy in Washington. She is working as cartoonist for the Washington Post. She told me that Pearl Skinner, who works in a beauty salon, and Elmer Hall, an usher in the Fox Theatre, had been in a wreck and were in the Emergency Hospital. I went to the hospital and asked for them. The superintendent, none other than Annie Denny, gave me their room numbers. On my way out I met Mildred Dodson. She is teaching in Central High School. One of her pupils is the son of John Sherwood, who is now Chief Justice of the United States. Returning home by bus, I met Raymond Burton. He is unmarried and just like him- self, still bragging about the girls. I wonder how he managed to escape so many during all these years. Nevertheless, he told me that Billy Owens is living at Burke Station. He married Viola Mailman and is considered a leading citizen in that community. Later in the summer, I decided to take a motor trip to the West Coast by way of New York. My first stop was Washington, D.C. The city was crowded with baseball fans. Quite naturally, that afternoon found me at the Ball Park eagerly waiting for the game to begin. Something about the tall pitcher of the Senators seemed familiar. Looking more closely , I made a startling discovery — it was Roger Buckley. I decided to ask the manager for permission to speak to him. Then as if one sur- prise were not enough for the day, the manager turned out to be William Mahoney. We talked until the game began. Of course the Senators won. On my way home I met Idell Spindle and Frances Riggles. They are supervisors at the Sibley Hospital. Rushing to my hotel, I collided with a bellhop. All of a sud- den it came to me that it was George Mock, the class grumbler. Leaving Washington early the next morning, T drove rapidly north. About noon I stopped at a neat-looking tea room for lunch. Mary De.twiler was the owner and her cusine is known far and wide. Her best friend of long ago, N.innie Nenefee, is man- ager of a large beauty salon in Pittsburgh. That night in the New York Times I found the headlines, Frankie Riordan, Metro- politan Opera Star, to Sing at International Tonight. Searching the paper for other notices, I found an item on art. It announced the special exhibit of Myrtle Crouch ' s work at the National Art Exhibit. After leaving New York, I drove steadily weatward. A few days later I ran out of gas somewhere south of Akron, Ohio. I stopped at a farmhouse to phone. A tall, well-built woman came to the door. I recognized her instantly by her smile and dimples. Jesse Nuckolls is now the head of a family, but she is still the same Jesse of our high school days. Chicago loomed before me with its skyscrapers and .rushing crowds. I registered at the Statler Hotel. The suave and efficient manager was Mervin Weatherholtz . He told me that Wellington Fairfax is now one of Chicago ' s greatest lawyers and he considered his secretary, Audrey Wells, indespensible. Reluctantly bidding Chicago good-bye, I set my face to the west and in due time arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah. I was pleasantly surprised to find Dorothy Franklin principal of the largest high school in the city and Lillian as the girls ' athletic coach. In California I attended the United States Tennis Tournament. I cheered wildly as Musette Stuphin wrested the championship from her opponent. In my excite- ment I dropped my bag. The woman who smiled sweetly at me when she returned it was Madge LaDue, who was spending her vacation there. Highly pleased with my trip, I decided to spend the rest of the year in Califor- nia. Late one evening I sat before my television set and wondered disconsolately what the people back home were doing. Carelessly I turned the dial and there flashed upon the serene a handsome man engaged in a dramatic love scene. I could almost hear the Oh ' s and Ah ' s of the women in the audience. It was Charles Norman Smith, leading man, movie idol, and the answer to the maiden ' s prayer, all rolled into one. How much like old times, I reflected. Again I turned the dial and a very different scene was before me. A modern bat- tleship was anchored in Hampton Roads. Its deck was covered with busy men. One sailor was polishing the brass with great vigor. As he turned I recognized Roy Marshall. A slight twist of the dial and a woman stood in the center of a dance floor. Smiling, pos ied and lovely, she stood and sang, the most popular singer in New York City. We knew her as Mary Jane Young. The next scene was as charming as it was simple. A man of thirty-five sat reading a story to three children. Near him sat his wife, Elizabeth Myers. Surprised? The man was Aubrey Goodwin. My head spun with the variety of impressions I had received. With my eyes closed, I gave the knob one final turn. Opening my eyes I saw a hospital office in which two very efficient looking women were conversing earnestly. One was Lucy McGuin, the hospital superintendent, and the other Virgil Watt, her assistant. The hour was late. With sudden determination I cut off the television set. Yet I lingered a while. Memories of bygone days rushed over me — delightful thoughts of those happy hours spent in Fairfax High School in 1936.

V ill iaw Mahoney By Annie Denny Pearl Skinner CLASSMATES EVER Friends I ' ll meet as I grow older, But no better friends than these. Here, between us, no concealment Lies within the outstretched hand; Here we give ourselves revealment, Firmly, truly, do we stand; Here ' s no wrong that needs correction: Class-mates, everyone a friend In the bonds of firm affection. Bound together to the end! — Selected By Dorothy Franklin Tune: The Isle of Capri Once again here our school mates assemble, With hearts filled with pride and joy. To think of the life they ' ve completed; And the many hours spent without toil. We regret the life we are leaving, Our teachers so dear left behind; And we wonder if our life in the future, Can be half so happy and sublime. But because this sweet life is over, And our happiest days are done; Let us not give up our good fight, And say that our battle ' s won. Let us still keep up our good work, And as each full year goes by; May they find us ready and steady, Boosting for our dear old Fairfax High.
