DJhjt 9,ah,e O ' -ac SAMPLER fa Jen y.eaM Little did the Clifton students know that they would one day be the founders of a high school yearbook— The Fare Fac Sampler — a yearbook which was so successful that their plans have been carried through a period of ten years. The plans for a Fairfax High School Yearbook originated in the minds of a few students from Clifton High School, who with some paper, pictures, and paste, had made a year- book — a yearbook of which they were very proud. They carried their ideas into Fairfax High School in the fall of 1 93 5 where they formed a group and called themselves a Yearbook Staff. They found a pianographing company who would print their yearbook for the huge sum of $5 00. With Mrs. Katherine Hopper’s help and Mr. Gordon Smith’s approval, the staff busily strived to put out a production worthy to be remembered as Fairfax High School’s very first yearbook. When they secured $600, they found themselves even more successful than they had dared hope. Not until the yearbook was ready to go to press” did they organize their staff. All had worked together with the oneness that is necessary in making anything a success. However, their trials and tribulations were not over; they found that they lacked a title for their book. The staff sponsored a contest with prizes offered for the best and most original title. No one was able to think of anything quite fitting for their masterpiece” until a voice out of nowhere prompted someone to notice that the original spelling of Fairfax was Fare Fac. The yearbook was a sample of a year of school so there was born the title Fare Fac Sampler.” The Fairfax Coat of Arms became a part of the Fairfax High School seal and thus an emblem for the title page of the yearbook. The yearbook, through the years, has become a symbol of high school life. It has grown and become more successful as each year passed. The Fare Fac Sampler” has been entered in and received honorable mention in the Virginia Literary and Athletic League. As we now celebrate the tenth anniversary of Fairfax High School, it is impossible to overlook the efforts of the small group which has increased through the years — the groups whose efforts have been laid down in ten books. These ten books, which have pictured life in Fairfax High School, represent the work of ten yearbook staffs who had as their goal, the production of a written and pictorial history of the activities of each school year.
