In going through one of my mother's (Betty Hadden Garrett) scrapbooks, I found a large photo of the 1940 Fairforest High School graduating class which was taken on June 11, 1940, during their trip to Washington, D.C. Also I remembered a bit of trivia about the photograph. You will notice that the same man, Mr. O. F. Funderburk, is standing at the end on BOTH sides of this picture. This photo was taken with some type of camera that panned from side to side. Mr. Funderburk was told when it was safe to duck down and go behind the group and pose on the opposite end, thus being photographed twice.
