George Emerson Schindler, Jr. The entire school was grieved over the death of one of our eighth graders, Marie Elizabeth Gorbv, Feb¬ ruary 26, 1954. Although she is no longer with us, the memory of her friendship and kindness will always linger in the hearts of her classmates. Lam The death of George Emerson Schindler on June 3, 1953 has meant a great loss to his many friends who knew him as a quiet, soft-spoken, friendly boy. The memory of his artistic endeavors will always be per¬ petuated at Falls Church High School through the George E. Schindler Memorial Scholarship sponsored by the Art Club. Al¬ though he is gone, the friendship and fellowship he shared with us will al¬ ways hold a sacred place in our memory. Marie Elizabeth Gorby Page 4

o r e w o r Dear Friends, I congratulate you on subscribing to this 19 54 yearbook of Falls Church High School. You will have many thrills in looking through it now. But its greater value, I think, will be in the years to come. It will become one of your lifetime treasures. Through the years, you will take it out from some safe place, turn its pages and re-live your high school career. Many of the fine people whose pictures are between these covers, you will never see again. It is worth much to have this JAGUAR to bring them back in memory. A special word to the class of 54. Many of you have been here five years, all the w ; ay from the eighth grade. It is fitting to note here that I became principal of the school the same vear that vou entered it. Sd I have seen vou come as adolescents; I know 7 that J j j 7 you leave as young adults. In your stay here you have performed many services valuable to the school. You have seen it moulded — in spirit, in physical facilities, and in its many and successful extra-curricular activities. You have given much. I am sure that you have also learned much. You have always been a strong class; always helpful, always building. As you leave, I, on behalf of the faculty and lower classes, want you to know that we appreciate you, that we are proud of you! Best wishes to you; success and happiness wherever you may go! Sincerely, Cr. 5 . Principal
