We pledge in u?wd and deed Fairfax High School is a symbol of many things — a mixture of chalk and daydreams, adolescence and maturity, the development of the human mind . . . Some see it as a group of buildings, a structure of bricks and mortar; others, more fortunate, know it as a proving ground of personal worth — a blue- print for life, an institution dedi- cated to learning ... It has taught us disappointment and frustration as well as achievement and suc- cess ... As time passes, corridors and classrooms will become hazy recollections somewhat erased as the intangible goods of Fairfax High gain meaning. Our school skillfully combines our dreams and ideals with reality and for this GOOD taste of life, we dedicate this XXI volume of the FARE FAC SAMPLER to our Alma Mater — Fairfax High School.

The A4tnMA traticH . . . ha A led uA...ti guidift We knew them as people eager to share ideas that would enrich our lives and thoughts . . . Their interests were not limited to our achievements at Fairfax High . . . They concerned themselves with our future — and changed our dependence to inde- pendence . . . We knew them and respected them as men and women who had already met and conquered many of the obstacles which we had yet to meet . . . Whether it be a confused participle- and-gerund situation or lack of a date for Saturday night, we always found an understanding audience . . . We saw them behind desks, cheering at games, chaperoning dances, spending after hours on school projects, and singing in our church choirs . . . Through all the trials suffered together daily, in the classroom and out, we earned the privilege of calling them our friends. - 1 10 j-
