1940 Fairmont School and Junior College Yearbook,
"The Owl and the Parrot�

Fairmont had two graduating classes - the seniors of the Junior College and the seniors of the Preparatory School. Names of graduates are entered in all CAPITALS. Curiously, the junior college used the term "seniors" to refer to those who had completed the two year curriculum and the term "freshmen" to refer to the first year students. Three students are listed as "Specials of the Preparatory School". It is not clear what that term means; however, since these girls are not listed with the Preparatory school graduates, they are entered using lower case. Faculty and other names mentioned also appear in Lower Case.
