TRADE AND INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT
The Trade and Industrial Department of Elkins I-Iigh School has increased its facil-
ities by the addition of a new course, Machine Shop Practice.
The teaching staff of the Vocational Department consists of Machine Wood
Working laboratory, Mr. Hugh Nestor: Related Subjects, Mr. Carl Moore: Machine
Shop laboratory, Mr. I-Iarvey P. Bailey: Related Subjects, Mr. Alton Pritt.
This year the Vocational Department lost Dr. Charles E. Albert to the Engineering
Department of Davis-Elkins College. Mr. Moore teaches related subjects in his place.
The enrollment in the Vocational Department this year is fifty-nine, which is the
maximum capacity for this department.
DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATICN
Again Elkins I-Iigh School is fortunate in having a Distributive Education Class
taught for students interested in retailing selling and salesmanship. This year a class
of twenty-four is being taught by Mr. Joseph Ervin, with Miss Digman teaching the
English IV course.
The students in the class have three subjects: Store Problems, Retailing, and
English, which begin at nine and last until twelve noon. In the afternoon the pupils
work in stores and shops in Elkins. Each individual is required to work fifteen hours
per week.
The enrollment age for this course is sixteen years: and the applicant must be.
preferably, a senior although there are a few juniors this year.
In the time that elapsed from September I, I946, through January I, I947, the
students worked a total of 8,836 hours, earned S3,809.4l in wages, and have a savings
record of 1465.
This course is practical for those who do not plan to continue their education after
leaving high school, for their previous experience will recommend them for better jobs
in the future.

WWYETRLS GLEE CLUBS
This is the first ygr since the establishment of the glee clubs that the senior girls have not played
an important part. Among the last year's seniors some twelve or fifteen girls who had been members
of the clubs for four years formed a nucleus that contributed strength, dignity, assurance, and excep-
tionally good voice habits.
The hope of a director of high school glee clubs is that the entering freshmen will continue through
four years of training. At the present time the clubs are made up largely of lower classmen. This
is desirable should they enroll next year and the next. The greatest hindrance to rapid progress lies
in the fact that these girls have little or no training in the reading of music. Since this is true, all
numbers have to be taught by rote, This necessitates a choice of songs that are fairly eaisy and
bordering on the modern. One must always fight to hold the interest of young singers who have cul-
tivated a taste for popular music. The love of good music develops slowly.
Be this as it may, the girls in the glee club are doing creditable worlc. For the most part they
are interested and sincere. Our Christmas program was well received. The girls did well in their
spring assembly. Following that, they concentrated on Commencement music where the girls are
able to prove to themselves what they have accomplished and to experience that sense of satisfaction
that comes from something well done.
THE BAND
This year the Elkins High School Band, one of the largest in the school's history, appeared at all
football games except when they were rained out: they made trips to Morgantown and Buckhannon to
cheer the Tigers on to touchdowns. Also during this season they were honored by an invitation to the
West Virginia University Homecoming game where they were pronounced by many as the best band
present. At home games the refreshment stand, the home of those so-good hotdogs, was a band-
sponsored affair.
Also sponsored by this musical organization this year were a concert by Nelson Sabin, a violin
artist in March, and the annual spring concert in April.
As to the individual honors Jack Basil of cornet fame was accepted as a first comet in the "All-
State Orchestranp several played in the State Clinic Band February 27 and 28, at Huntington at the
time of the State Bandmasters' Clinic and annual meeting.
ln May our band attended the State Band Festival at Huntington and the Festival at Salem.

TRI-HI-Y
The Tri-Hi-Y ot Elkins High School is a Christian organization sponsored by the
Y.M.C.A. and is a part of the National Hi-Y movement. As a sister organization ot
the Hi-Y the Tri-Hi-Y attempts to choose members whose characteristics are clean
thought, clean speech, clean living, and clean scholarship.
Under the direction of Mrs. W. D. Talbott, a non-taculty adviser, the club had
a very prosperous and successtul year. One ot the foremost ot its activities was the
distribution among the students ot booklets containing special devotions for Lent.
A contribution was made to the tund tor the rehabilitation ot the Y.M.C.A. in war-torn
countries. Gra-Y's were reorganized in grade schools, and the club assisted the Hi-Y
in presenting a minstrel show. Delegates from the Tri-Hi-Y attended the Monongahela
District meeting at Parsons and also the State Convention. Social activities, such as
dances and parties, were enjoyed monthly.

HI-Y
The Hi-Y Club ot Elkins High School is considered a distinct asset to the school.
The boys who compose the membership ot this club strive to attain the goal ot creat-
ing, maintaining, and extending throughout the school and community, high standards
ot Christian character. The local chapter is attiliated with the National Hi-Y tellow-
ship and with the West Virginia organization ot Hi-Y clubs.
One ot the many services pertormed to the school is that ot leading the devo-
tionals at the weekly assembly programs. At Christmas time a can dance was spon-
sored by the club: the tood was then made into baskets tor the needy. An event
acclaimed by the townspeople as well as the students was the minstrel show presented
by the Hi-Y. It is hoped that this can be carried on as a yearly event.
Although this club is primarily a service organization, social events are held per-
iodically tor the members.
This year the club is under the sponsorship ot Mr. Carl Moore.

The E.I-I.A. club started this year with a corn roast at the home of our sponsor,
Mrs. Moore. The executive committee met a few weeks later to plan the year's pro-
gram.
We took in our new members at the end of the first six weeks' period. In addi-
tion to our informal initiation we held a formal one which was a candle lighting pro-
gram.
A meeting to celebrate the World Christmas Festival was held. All the gifts that
were brought were sent to Europe. Cookies made by the girls were used in the I-Ii-Y
Christmas baskets. During the second semester, in addition to the annual Spring Elec-

TIGER TACTICS
The I946 Tiger "Express" roared off with a bang, slowed down, and then really went to town.
This past season the Wimermen won five games, lost three, and tied two. Of these they played
seven "Big Ten" Conference games, winning three, losing three, and tying one: this placed Elkins in
a tie for sixth place with Weston in the Conference standings.
On September 6, the Orange and Black held the always strong Alumni team to a O-O tie. The
next week on September IO, the scholastic lid was knocked off by our boys when they turned the tide
against St. Mary's of Clarksburg by a score of 28-O. In Elkins territory on September I3, the Victory
Eagles swooped down and flew back to Clarksburg with a I3-O win over the Elkins High eleven.
Traveling to Buckhannon on September 27, the Wimermen were handed a 6-O defeat at the hands
of the Upshur Countians. On a foreign field for the second successive week the Tigers were defeated
by their traditional rivals, Morgantown, I9-O. In the third play of this game Alfred Crawford, regular
end, suffered a fracture ofthe leg.
At Wimer Stadium on October II, the Orange and Black climbed back into the win column by
defeating the Shinnston Spartans by a score of 24-O. The next week East Fairmont, I946 "Big Ten"
Champions, was held to a I4-I4 tie by an Elkins team that had at last hit its stride. The rejuvenatcd
Tigers swam to a I3-O edge over Weston's Minutemen at Wimer Stadium in a steady downpour of
rain on October 25.
In a game scheduled late in the season, the Elkins I-Iigh team visited Clarksburg wherc they de-
feated the Washington Irving I-Iilltoppers I4 to 6. The Tigers, in the last game of the I946 season,
gained a decisive victory over Philippi, the "Little Ten" Champions, 28 to 6. Thus a successful season
was concluded by Coach Wimer and his proteges.

TIGER THINCLADS
The Elkins High School speedsters participated in five meets last spring, winning one, placing
second in two, third in one, and twelfth in the state meet, which was a better showing than other
teams in this section of West Virginia. At the beginning of the season, Donald White, hefty weight
man, was elected captain ofthe track team.
The Tigers got off to a good start by winning from an Alumni team I46 to 7l. ln the next meet,
which was a four-cornered one with Gauley Bridge, Parsons, and Washington lrving High Schools,
Elkins tied for second place with the Hill-toppers with 7I points. Gauley Bridge finished first with
lO2: Parsons was fourth, having scored 20 points.
On May 4, I946, the Tigers motored to Morgantown forthe annual "Big Ten" meet. ln a closely
contested battle, Washington lrving came out on top with 67 points: Elkins closely followed with 66'f2
points: Morgantown was third with 65, and East Fairmont trailed with 64'f2 points.
Owing to construction work not being completed on the Washington lrving stadium, the author-
ities transferred the sectional meet from Clarksburg to Wimer Field where it was held on May Il.
Parkersburg walked off with the day's honors by scoring 75 lf5 points. Washington lrving was next
with 5l points: third place went to the Orange and Black with 46 lfIO points. Other participants
were Glenville with 43 IXIO, Morgantown scoring 29 points, and Fairmont with 25 3f5 points. Qualifying
for the state meet were Donald Rice, Wallace, Wilhelm, Simmons, Weese, William Rice, Riley, and
McEldowney.
At Charleston Riley came in third in the half-mile, breaking the school record of 2.5 minutes with
a 2 minute 2,2 seconds performance. The previous record was held by Joe Rice. The medley relay
team of Simmons, Wallace, Riley, and Weese, also came in fourth. This gave Elkins a total of seven
points.
At the end of the I946 season letters were presented to the following:
Captain Donald White, Joe Riley, Earl Grimm, Ralph Darden, David Merrill, Donald Rice, Jack
Ervine, George Stalnaker, William McEldowney. Jack Wallace, Gene Simmons, James Weese, Michael
Shapabarger, William Wilhelm, William Rice, John Moore, Alfred Crawford, Robert Madden, Richard
Wa den.
Managers: George Coffman, Robert Caplinger, Donald Carroll.

FIGHTING FivEs
j Dick Walden, captain ot the i946-47 Tiger team, proved to be a dependable and inspirational
leader. He was placed on the "All-Sectional" team. "Streamy" scored l84- points this season.
Joe Riley, senior guard who always turned in a stellar defensive game, was one ot the hardest
players on the squad. His agressiveness and tighting spirit were responsible tor many ot the Tigers'
victories. The "Fighting Irishman" who made 65 points this year, ranks as one ot the best defensive
guards ever produced by Elkins High School. Although l am just a novice at sportswriting, it is my
opinion that Joe deserved to hold his guard position on all ot the tournament all-star teams. '
Jimmy Clark, senior center and a new comer to the squad, proved to be the teams' spark plug.
His expert passing and dribbling and his constant fighting spirit brought the Tigers through many a
hard fought contest. During the season Jimmy scored 60 points.
Jack Wallace, junior guard and the standout member ot the squad, led the team in scoring by
piling up a total ot 432 points. He was chosen as a member ot the "All-Big Nine," "All-Valley,"
"All-Sectional," "All-Regional," "All-State Tournament" teams. He is a strong candidate tor the
"All-State" team.
George Booth, sophomore forward, was quite a sensation as a southpaw sharpshooter. Scoring
36l points, George will be expected to do great things next year, He was selected on the "All-Region-
al" team.
Joe Bryant, senior torward, was another letthanded member ot the squad. This was the tirst year
he played with the Tigers, but Joe always gave a very good account ot himself. He scored 4I points
this year.
Bob Shaw, senior, played tor the Varsity until he became twenty years old. Despite his height,
"Artie" performed like the veteran he was. He made lo points during the season. Atter his birthday
Artie became the squad's assistant manager.

on Rice, senior guard, was a hard fighter: his rebound work was difficult to beat. Don scored
Il points for the Tigers.
Gene Simmons, senior center. was the smallest member of the Varsity squad. His tenacity and
agility made up for what he lacked in size. "Sock" marked up I5 points for the Orange and Black.
Jack Neale, senior forward, was a valuable utility man who came through to aid in several Elkins'
victories. He made 23 markers during the season.
Arthur Gainer, who became a member of the team after the first semester, performed exception'
ally well at guard as his height made him quite good at taking rebounds. During the season "Spud"
scored I7 points.
Charles Baker, veteran of World War II, received a letter for his services as manager.
The I947 Tiger Basketball machine ended what appeared to be a mediocre season by capturing
both the sectional and regional tournaments. Although the Orange and Black was defeated in the
state tournament by South Charleston, 6I to 53, in the game that produced the most action and the
best play of the opening round, Elkins was said by sportswriters to be the second best outfit in the
tournament. The Black Eagles had to battle all the way to the end before they could subdue the
fighting Tigers. Other honors were bestowed on the Elkins team when Jack Wallace was selected on
the "All-Tournament" team, and the local delegation was awarded the trophy for the best cheering
section. '
The Wimermen downed Philippi, 45 to 33, Beverly, 40 to 26, and Belington, 36 to 27, in the Sec-
tional Tournament and followed these victories by swamping the highly regarded East Fairmont entry
58 to 34 in the Regional tourney. To capture this title. the Tigers had to live up to their name in
order to eliminate, by the score of 58 to 34, the "knock 'em down. drag 'em out" Bearcats from Graf-
ton in a hard-fought contest.
Athletic teams of the future will have a tradition to live up to in order to exceed the fighting
spirit displayed by the I946-47 basketball team. Elkins High may not always produce the winning
team, but the Tigers are always in there fighting until the last second. No Tiger team has ever quit,
and we feel sure that none ever will!
BASKETBALL BATTLES
Although the I946-47 basketball squad began with only five of last year's lettermen reporting to
Coach Wimer, the Elkins Tigers, after a slow start, finally hit their stride late in the season and pros
gressed to the State Tournament. The Orange and Black won twelve games out of twenty.
On December 25, the Wimermen made their initial appearance in the South Side gymnasium
when a strong Alumni aggregation defeated them, 33 to 54. Elkins High lost to a veterans St. Mary's
basketball team of Clarksburg on December 28, Unable to overcome the advantage in height of the
tall boys from Elkins High School, the Belington "Hi-Hawks" were overcome at the "down the river"
school by a score of 54 to 28. The "B" team won handily at Belington, 35 to I5.
Showing excellent improvement and near mid-season form, the Tigers upset all predictions on
January 4, by sweeping last year's State Champs of Beckley out of the undefeated ranks by the score
of 42 to 32 in a game, packed with thrills and tight basketball, in the local gym.
Weakness in the conversion department cost Elkins High its basketball game with St. Marys' at
Clarksburg on January 9, 48 to 53, Both teams scored 2I goals, but the "Stripers" made II fouls
while the locals converted only 6. Our "B" team was more fortunate in that they won from the St.
Marys' reserves, 38 to 23. The Philippi "Bulldogs" met defeat at the hands of the Orange and Black
at Elkins on January II, by a score of 56 to 38. Trailing throughout most of the contest at Buck-
hannon January I4, the "EIkinsites" came from behind in the final seconds to win over the "Buck-Ups,"
36 to 34.
Shinnston High staged a belated rally in its game with Elkins High at Shinnston on January I7.
and emerged a 45 to 4I winner. Something of a record was set in the number of fouls called against
Elkins High. During the 32 minutes of play no less than 37 fouls were called, and of this number
Shinnston converted I5. Elkins had 22 free throws and scored II. The "Little Tigers" defeated the
Spartan reserves, 28 to I5. Field goals were even with I5 each. The Wimermen jumped back into
the win column January I8, to overcome Morgantown on the local floor, 45 to 38, in a game that was
an old-fashioned thriller from start to finish.
A visiting Washington Irving team, that produced in the pinches, won from the Elkins Tigers in
an overtime contest which wound up 42 to 39. In the preliminary game the Elkins "B" team fought
all the way to overcome the "HiIItopper" reserves in an overtime contest, 38 to 32. The Belington
High team was subdued by a score of 56 to 42 by the Wimermen on January 25, on the South Elkins
court. The fighting Tigers scored another victory January 28, at home by winning over the Grafton
"Bearcats," 44 to 37. The Grafton "B" team was defeated by the "LittIe Tigers," 47 to 37.
A rally in the final minutes gave Morgantown High a 5I to 44 win over Elkins High on January
3I. Victory High's pacesetting Big Nine entry proved nine points better than the Elkins High "Tigers"
at Clarksburg February 4, winning 50 to 4I, in a hard fought contest. In a preliminary game the local
"B" team was overcome 3I to 29 by the Eagles reserve squad. In a return game on Eebruary 7, the
Victory Eagles again nosed out the local entry on the home floor, 38 to 4I. Elkins avenged an early
47
season reverse at the hands of Shinnston to turn back the Spartans, 65 to 38, after getting off to an
early lead and holding the upper hand all the way.
The Tigers pulled one out of the fire February I4, to down the Washington lrving Hilltoppers 34
to 33, in a tense game that saw Referee Jake Miller stop the contest and plead with the fans to stop
their booing as an Elkins player went to the foul line to attempt a conversion. On February IS, the
Weston "Minutemen" were defeated by the locals 47 to 35.
ln a hard fought contest that saw the Elkins team return home with the scars of battle imprinted
upon them, the "Tigers" overcame a clawing and biting "Bearcat" team from Grafton, 48 to 47. The
last home game of the season found the Wimermen defeating the Buckhannon High School team, 55
to 33. Weston High's "Minutemen" were able to overcome the Orange and Black in the Blue and
White cracker box gymnasium on February 27, by a score of 4l to 43. Thus the Tigers were ready
to prepare for the tournament.
GRIDIRON GREATS
Don Rice, at the beginning of the season, was elected captain of this year's edition of the i946
Tiger turfmen. Receiving honorable mention on the Monongahela Valley All-Star team and a tackle
spot on the all "Big-Ten" team, Don was the only four year letterman on the squad: his excellent
leadership and deadly tackling made him an invaluable member of the team.
Gene Simmons, speedy halfback and drop-kick artist, was given honorable mention on the "Big
Ten" Conference team. "Sock," kicking fifteen out of fifteen tries for point after touchdowns, earned
probably one of the best records in the history of state scholastic football. He is the only player to
kick a field goal in the history of the school. The "Educated Toe," who completed his scholastic grid
career with a record of sixty successful conversions in sixty-eight attempted drop-kicks for extra points,
has done his share in reviving a lost art. ln additon to all this Simmons called the plays for the
Wimermen.
Joe Riley, senior guard, made the "Big Ten," "All-Valley." "All-Northern." and second "All-
State" teams in l946. His spirit, fight, and accurate diagnosis of opponents' plays made him extreme-
ly valuable to the team. Playing almost every minute of every game, this fighting lrishman was one
of the best guards in West Virginia. Joe has aspirations to attend Notre Dame.
Dick Walden was chosen all "Big Ten" end to which position he was transferred after Alfred
Crawford's injury early in the season. He was considered the team's best pass receiver as well as
a tower on the defense.
Robert Shaw, flashy fullback, made honorable mention on the "All-Valley" team. "Artie," piling
up plenty of yardage through our foes' lines, was the leading ground gainer on the Grange and
Black eleven. Having served in the Navy, he was the squad's only veteran.
Earl Grimm, junior half-back, did most of the passing which connected for a lot of the Tiger toucha
downs. His speed and change of pace made him a very difficult man for the opposition to corner.
Great things are expected of "Duck" next year.
.lack Mullennex, senior, was the other guard on the first eleven. His outstanding line play made
him a very valuable member of the team.
Ellwood Nieman. husky tackle, was the only Elkins lineman to make a touchdown last year. He
received honorable mention on the "Big Ten" team, Ellwood will be around for another year.
Bill Rice, senior quarterback, had some bad luck last year: but when he got a chance, he did an
excellent job in his backfield position.
Ralston Teter, able center, took over Walden's post in the Morgantown game: his accurate passing
from center and brilliant backing up the line proved that he handled his assignment capably.
David Merrill, junior end, completed the first string. Dave's savage offensive play helped open
the holes for our fleet-footed backs.
Alfred Crawford, sophomore end, started out the season as a first stringer: but in the Morgantown
game he fractured his leg in the third quarter and was unable to play the remainder of the season.
Next year he will be able to start where he left off.
Harold Jones, junior back, was general utility man on the Tiger squad last fall. "Fuzzy" proved to
be very capable in filling any backfield position assigned to him.
Ervin Harman, sophomore quarterback, proved to be a very able substitute for Bill Rice. He was
the hardest tackler on the Tiger squad.
James Weese, senior halfback, was the fastest man on the Elkins High squad although I946 was
the first year he had played football.
Coy Lambert, sophomore lineman, proved to be an able substitute regardless of where he was
placed.
Dick Talbott, junior tackle lacking in experience, proved to be a consistent and aggressive per-
former in the line when called upon to replace one of the veterans.
Ivan Daniels, junior guard, proved himself quite capable as a substitute in the line.
Dominick Portolese, junior, played an exceptional defensive game at end.
So goes the dope on another group of Elkins High lettermen of whom any school could be justly
proud.

SENIOR FAREWELL
Four years have passed: and we, the senior class, are leaving the home in which
we have lived, learned, and worked. We feel that there has been a great and com-
plete happiness in our lives: it is a strange feeling, as we cling desperately to the
childhood from which we are fast being withdrawn, to realize that we may never re-
capture this joy.
We must grow up, but we hesitate to grasp the happiness of adulthood. ls there
such a thing as complete Paradise?
Closer to us than this complex question of the ages is our own Commencement,
the beginning of our lives in the world that is ours to shape. Our feelings are a mix-
ture of fear, longing, and anxiety for our fate. We look back and review these years
that are gone forever: we work and play and realize that these are the things that will
shape our thoughts, our actions, and our very lives. Thus we bind the past and the
future into the present as we whisper, "Good-bye."
ln this last speech there lie thanks to our sponsors, Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Fest, and
Mr. Pritt, for their uncomplaining, all-sutfering guidance and patience. Never have
they failed us when we needed them: never has their good-will toward us waned. To
them a toast that says simply, thanks: for it is by them that we have been led "through
the wilderness." Let us add to our thanks good wishes and the knowledge that where-
ever we may go, their wisdom and influence will be felt.
And now our last speech is almost done: it is time for us as the graduating class
to accept our diplomas and begin to face the future. But before we go, let us reiter-
ate that Elkins l-ligh will always be cherished by each of us, that her lessons have been
taught, and that our memories will long linger in our hearts.
And so, "Farewell."
GRADUATION
An age in life arose fourfold year past,
And l, quite young, with aid did choose my course.
My friends they asked of me if l had passed,
Some said l could: others, perhaps with force.
Freshman, soph'more, junior, senior, I rose
Each rank l won. Pass l did courses thus:
Latin, science, hist'ry, air, math, and prose.
Dances, ball games partook without a fuss.
God bless the teachers: them, l have to thank.
That day renowned had come at last, "Great Day!"
Great -day when l did walk the ol' oak plank
To get my card at last this month of May.
Somewhile ago it was that l began,
And now have proved to you and them: l can.
