Varsify 5oof6a Jon Schulstad dives for the score against G. W. Fairfax can be proud of its varsity squad this year, which in a hard-fought season, demonstrated the courage and spirit characteristic of our school. Our team dis¬ played as penetrating an offense, and as stalwart a defense as could be expected against the tough odds we faced from the other schools in the league. Our 3-7 record was certainly no indication of the effort put forth this season, as seen by the honors some of the team members received in the area and in the state. Ron Tankersley received All-Metropolitan, All- State, and All-American honors. After the season, Tank- ersley’s number was retired—a great tribute to the outstanding lineman. Seven other Fairfax players won mention on All-District teams. Fairfax’s backfield was led by halfback Bill Johnston, who led the team in rushing, receiving, and scoring. Guard Tankersley was awarded the Outstanding Lineman trophy, as he led his team¬ mates with 117 tackles. The fine defensive work of sophomore Eddie Gore, with three interceptions, and the kickoff and punt returning of senior Mike Hagan served to keep the Rebels moving if Jon Schulstad’s passing o ffensive faltered. At one point this season our team won three consecutive games with the place kicking of Senior Ike Howard proving decisive in two games. The 13-12 Homecoming victory over Mount Vernon snapped a four game losing streak and sparked the Rebels to two more victories over Falls Ghurch, 14-0, and Hammond, 14-12, at their homecomings. Fairfax joins in saluting the 24 seniors and Dale and Dean Weber, our manager-physicians, who will be graduating this year, and wishes Coaches Dick Claypool, Ray Peterson, and next year’s squad all success. Bill and “Tank” return to the sidelines after the toss of the coin. 13

Two weeks after the beginning of school, the Fair Facts staff honored Rebel spirit by presenting the first dance of the year. The informal atmosphere of the dance made us quickly forget our disappointment over the hard-fought loss to George Washington. Anxious days of excitement and curi¬ osity were climaxed when Betty Cinibulk and Mike Eidson were crowned Peppy and Johnny Rebel. Two new faculty members, Mr. Muhle and Mrs. Talmadge, were chosen Lord and Lady Fairfax. Betty and Mike, the newly-crowned representatives of Rebel spirit, share a dance. 12
