FAIRMONT COLLEGE LJBRARy The Annual Publication of the Students of Fairmont State College tAlKMONT COLLEGE LIBRARY ELAINE HUTCHINSON Editor ANNE BLAIR Business Manager o= DEDICATION A dedication is a proud thing. It is an expression of gratitude and devotion, of friendship and admiration, and, above all, of inspiration. It was they, our men in the service, who inspired this book. They were our schoolmates, our brothers, our friends, and they left us the work of carrying on. We feel that in a small way this book has justified their trust in us. Fairmont College is proud of her sons. In the Phillipines, at Guadalcanal, in Africa, in England and Australia, and in our own America they have proved themselves valiant Americans. Their college feels gratefully humble that she has had a share in shaping the characters and spirits of the defenders of our nation. When our boys left for parts unknown they took the heart of The Hill with them. Without their gay hearts and careless laughter, without their in- fectious good spirits and love of life, it is a dull place. It seems to be waiting, holding its breath until its boys come back. Until they do it will never be the same again. Our task is to make sure they do come home. To make sure that they will again fill the classrooms and the halls. To devote ourselves to the job of bringing them back so that they may again ring the Victory Bell, or stroll leisurely down Senior Walk, or dance with their girls in the Social Room. This was the kind of life they knew and loved and, without complaint, they left it to help rebuild a crumbling world. Fairmont College is both proud and humble to dedicate her annual to her men in the service, those men who have dedicated their lives to their country. FAIRMONT COLLEGE LIBRARY 5105V ' ! H ' • r ,1 A s The view of Fairmont State College shown above is one of the most recent photographic studies of the rapidly expanding school. Besides adding a new gymnasium to its buildings, it has also made academic chang- es. By an act of the legislature the name Fairmont State Teachers College was changed in March 1943 to Fairmont State College. Students are now permitted to minor in speech; and Spanish, a compara- tively recent addition to the language de- partment, is a most popular subject. Founded in 1865, Fairmont State College is known far and wide as The Friendly College. It has grown into an educational institution which fea- tures a beautiful and spacious campus and boasts one of the finest gymna- siums in the state of West Virginia. Furnished with the most modern equip- ment, Colebank Gymnasium is the pos- sessor of two gym floors, a modern swimming pool, clinics, streaml ined classrooms, locker rooms, showers, offices, and equipment rooms. : The halls of Fairmont- College are like a long, gray thread upon which are strung, as precious jewels, the classrooms. In ihese rooms is imparted the most potent of all powers, knowledge. C_D C_ZI 2 A. IJx94£fsk (iMde The spirit of Fairmont State College is personified in its president, Dr. Joseph Rosier. When newcomers to The Hill wonder at the atmosphere of harmony and happiness that pervades The Friendly College, they have only to ask his students to find that it is Uncle Joe who has laid the founda- tion for the feeling of good will. Kindliness, friendliness, and the desire to help one ' s fellow men are only a few of the high standards he has set for his school. Long recognized as a leader in educational circles, Dr. Rosier has been the guide and friend of teacher and student alike. He believes, especially in these times of stress, that young people should learn to shoulder responsibility and this belief is manifested in the school ' s thoroughly democratic system of government. A native of the state, Dr. Rosier was born in the village of Wilsonburg in Harrison County. He began his teaching career in 1890 and for fifty years has been actively engaged in the field of education. From a village school Dr. Rosier went to the principalship of a Salem school, thence to the superintendency of the schools of Harrison County. It was there that his public career began in earnest. At the same time he was furthuring his formal education and in 1895 received his P.Bd. degree from Salem College. Later he received an A.M. degree, and in 1933, after the National Education Association had honored him as its president, Marshall College conferred an LL.D. upon him. In May, 1941, Fairmont College cele- brated the news that their beloved president had become the Junior United States Senator from West Virginia. The love of his students and the admiration of his friends are the feel- ings inspired by Dr. Rosier and such tribute is paid only to those who are great of heart. FAIRMONT COLLEGE LIBRARY ?

Its students are judged by their deeds. It is for this reason that we proudly point to the Senior Class. Entering school in that fateful month of September, 1939, it has, through four difficult years, carried on the spirit of Fairmont College. Al- tho ugh it has lost many members to the service, those remaining have shouldered the extra burden cheerfully and performed their duties efficiently. Our Seniors have led the Student Body with Eugene Satterfield as President, Josephine Jenkins as Vice President, Anne Lynch as Secretary, and Randolph Norris as Treasurer. Class Officers were Doran Morrison, President; Margaret Ann Huff, Vice President; and Mary Ann Muir, Secretary-Treasurer.

Active on the Mound Staff were Elaine Hutchinson, Editor-in-Chief; Robert Pence, Associate Editor; Betty Longfield, Art Edi- tor; and Mary Ann Muir, Assistant Advertising Manager. Senior participants in varsity sports are Robert Pence, Dick Berry, Walter Owens, War- ren Owens, Eugene Satterfield, John Dewey Hawkins, and Frank Meyers. Often seen in productions staged by the college theater group were Melissa Curry, Bet- ty Longfield, and Elaine Hutchinson. Those in the class who were recognized by Who ' s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges were Randolph Norris, Robert Pence, Josephine Jenkins, Ruth Mayhall, Walter Owens, Elaine Hutchinson, Georganna Romine, Phoebe Louise Coombs, Lu- cille Willis, Mildred Jones, Doran Morrison, Thomas Koon, Eugene Satterfield, Annabelle Alkire, and Betty Reed.

Climaxing a year of social activity events, the Junior Prom is eagerly anticipated as one of the most beautiful cere- monies of the year. This year it was staged for the second time in the magnificent Colebank Gymnasium, the pride of the campus. Queen Lucille chose as her Maid of Honor pretty Mary Davinna Hunsaker. In her court were Eleanor Sincell, Lena Gabriel, Leona Menke, Mabel See, and Jean Campbell, all popular young women of the Junior Class. They made an en- chanting picture as they slowly promenaded toward the throne. The latter was set in the midst of spring flowers and fernery and made a fitting background for the gracious Queen. For Queen Lucille ' s entertainment, Josephine Jenkins vocally serenaded her and her court. Jackie Wallman performed admirably as the tiny crown bearer and Michael Evans made a completely captivating flower girl. The Queen was crowned by Richard Swisher, President of the Junior Class. AumaUcA, With Arsenic and Old Lace the Masquers began their twenty-first season of dramatic productions for Fairmont audiences. In the cast were Melissa Brahm Curry and Mary Frances Zinn as the maiden aunts, Waldon Skinner and Don Lynch as their mentally un- balanced brothers, and Norvell Lilly and Julia DeBolt carried the love interest. Second on the Masquers ' program was Blithe Spirit featuring Elaine Hutchinson in the title role with Jerry West as her harrassed husband and Betty Longfield as his long-suf- fering second wife. Mary Frances Zinn played the role of the medium; Anne Blair, the maid; and Eleanor Sincell and Donal Squires, two friends of the family. For their third production the Masquers presented a variety show, the Victory Arts Parade, which included two one-act plays, car- tooning, two choruses, and a piano duet and solo.

COLEBANK Director of Athletics WILFORD WILSON Coach THE SEASON IN REVIEW October 4: Fairmont 7 — West Virginia Tech The Fighting Teachers opened their 1942 season in a blaze of glory by avenging last fall ' s defeat by West Virginia Tech. A long pass in the third quarter from Bob Pence to Dick Berry set up the battle ' s lone touchdown, and Marra carried it over. Pence con- verted for the extra point. October 11: Fairmont 14 — Potomac State 12 The Catamounts of Potomac State were the next to fall before Fairmont ' s powerful machine in a thrill- ing battle waged at Rosier Knob. The Fighting Teachers scored first when Pence plunged over and converted giving State the lead, 7-0. However, at the start of the second half Potomac, led by Cox, rolled over two quick touchdowns to take command, 12-7. In the final minute Pence ' s long pass to Bieterman, plus Marra ' s plunge across, and Pence ' s conversion, brought State a 14-12 victory. October 18: Fairmont 8 — Potomac State 6 On the following week State journeyed to Keyser to play a return game with Potomac. It was largely a defensive battle until late in the third quarter when Owens, on a reverse, ran twenty-five yards to o touch- down. A blocked punt behind the goal by the fast charging Fairmont line, gave State an 8-0 lead. Potomac finally scored in the final seconds but wound up on the short end of the score. October 25: Fairmont 13 — West Liberty 20 In the most thrilling game of the season West Liberty handed State her first defeat. West Liberty, featuring a magnificent passing barrage with a pow- erful ground attack, had the Fighting Teachers 20-0 with only a few minutes remaining in the game. At this point Pence passed fifty yards to Berry and Marra took it over. West Liberty recovered the fol- lowing kickoff and marched to the Fairmont twenty- five where Pence intercepted a pass and ran seventy- five yards for a touchdown. Pence ' s pass to Berry made the score 20-13, West Liberty. However, time called a halt to the game before Fairmont could get the ball over again.

November 1: Fairmont 6 — Glenville 25 Calls to service crippled the Fairmont team and their trip to Glenville ended in disastrous defeat. The Pioneers scored in every period, twice on intercepted passes, once on a blocked kick, and once by rushing. Fairmont ' s lone score came when Pence went over after a reverse to Owens had taken the ball to the one-yard line. November 8: Fairmont 6 — Bethany 14 Injuries plagued the Fairmont squad and helped to engineer Bethany ' s humiliating defeat over State. Bethany tallied twice on long passes, while Fairmont ' s score came on a sixty-five yard runback of an inter- cepted pass by Mascaro. Several players were in- jured in this game making Fairmont ' s finale with West Liberty look black. November 15: Fairmont 6 — West Liberty 40 West Liberty completely overran the Fighting Teachers. A powerful land and air attack completely baffled the Professors who played with several stars out of the line-up due to injuries. It was a far cry from the fine West Liberty battle three weeks before. State ' s lone touchdown came of a long pass from Hawkins to Bieterman. DEWEY HAWKINS, Quarterback Hawkins, a 200 pound senior, held down the blocking quarterback post for the Teachers, did some passing, and backed up the line on the de- tense. His loss will be felt when foot- ball is resumed. JOHN MANCHIN, Tackle Always dependable and full of spirit, John helped fill the tackle posts at any time. His weight and experience proved valuable to the Fairmont line. TOM ANDRICK, Tackle Full of fight and ability, Andrick filled the right tackle job on State ' s powerful line. Tom ' s aggressiveness and power made him a formidable opponent. JIGGS MARRA, Left Half When it came to carrying the ball, Jiggs had power to burn along with shifting sidestepping which gave State many long gains and touchdowns. Mara is one of next year ' s co-captains. BOB PENCE, Fullback Ending his great career in a blaze of glory, Pence led the team with the powerful runing and accurate passing which gained him Honorable Mention on the little All-American team. His name will go down as one of the great- est of Fairmont ' s football heroes. WARREN OWENS, Center Guard Another senior, Ham started the season as substitute center but played so well that he was shifted to regular guard berth. He made up for his lack of weight with plenty of zip and fight. DICK BERRY, End One of State ' s greatest linemen, Berry ' s drive and power together with his pass receiving made him feared by all Fairmont ' s opponents. CARL HALL, Guard Hall played one of the toughest positions on the team, the inside guard. He filled the post admirably, however, and, as a senior, gave the others something to shoot at. JIM SWEENY, Halfback Chipmonk was one of the smallest men on the squad but was absolutely fearless. He played the roll of a sub- stitute but could be depended upon for real relief. WALT OWENS, Right Half Walt ended his last season at State in great style with the shiftiest run- ning on the squad. Lefty did all the punting, some passing, and was al- ways a serious threat in the open field. FRANK CONAWAY, Guard Small but mighty, Frank displayed courage and shiftiness that more than made up for his size. Conaway, a freshman, didn ' t start many games, but he played the greater part of all of them. TONY PASQUELLE, Guard Although hampered by injuries most of the season, Tony really played ball when called to the field. He will be valuable when football resumes. BERNIE BIETERMAN, Halfback When Bieterman entered the game it usually meant something big was going to happen. He made up tor his smail size with terrific speed and shiftiness. JOHN MASCARO, Center Playing his first season as a regu- lar, Muss performed like a true vet- eran. His great defensive work back- ing up the line together with his ac- curacy in passing the ball, was one of the strong points of State ' s line. ED SOBEK, End This former Greenwich, Connecti- cut, star made the first string his freshman year, a novelty at Fairmont. His vicious tackling and blocking aid- ed State considerably in their gridiron season. STEVE YERGOVICH, Left Tackle This 235 pound giant made his side of the line nearly impregnable. He was also a good blocking tackle and has been chosen co-captain of next year ' s team.

Alderson-Broaddus 36 Salem 54 Marietta 36 Glenville 57 . . Alderson-Broaddus 48 Salem 47 out of 20 games. Starting the season with only five lettermen from last year ' s great team which won 17 out of 23 contests, Fairmont opened her basketball season by winning over California. Bad luck plagued the Teachers and they lost their next three games to Marietta, Wesleyan, and West Liberty. After the Christmas holidays, State journeyed to the northern panhandle and whipped Bethany, then droped a heart-breaker to West Liberty. Returning home they avenged Wesleyan but took a trouncing from Glenyille. In a southern trip they blitzkrieghed West Virginia Tech but dropped another thriller to Morris Harvey. From here on State got her bombsights adjusted and hit the winning side nearly every game. They won from Bethany and Tech, lost to Salem, but bounced back to take their next four games from California, Alderson-Broaddus, Salem, and Marietta. Fairmont then gave undefeated Glenville its worst scare of the season before bowing to 57-52. An upset in the next game with Alderson-Broaddus set up the Teachers for their best game and most glorious victory. In this last game, against Salem, Brooms Abromovic, national scoring champ, was held to nine points while Fairmont ' s own Bob Pence threw in 29. Walt Owens — Playing his fourth year as a member of the squad, Walt had his greatest season. Used at guard or center, he was the fastest man on the team, a crackshot, and a bulwark on the defense. Owens was also co- captain of this year ' s team and second high scorer with 177 points. Warren Owens — Guard or forward, Gooch could fill in anywhere and the team would click just the same. An excellent dribbler and a great de- fensive man, he finished his career with the same dependability and fight he began it four years ago. Bernie Bieterman — Small but fast, Bernie could be depended on to fill in when the going was tough. Used only sparingly, he scored in nearly every game in which he played. Bob Pence — All-Conference forward and co-captain, Pence broke all scor- ing records of Fairmont College. He has scored more points in one game, 37, in one season, 482, and in four years, 1,660, than any other player in Fairmont ' s history. He was an ex- cellent passer and defensive man and truly led his team to their greatest athletic heights. Fritz Jacobs — Handling the post of center in a substitute role, Fritz was a dead shot around and under the basket. He was also a better than average defensive player and gave State the shot in the arm it needed in several games. ' Carl Payne — Becoming eligible at the semester, Slick only got to play five games for the Fighting Teachers be- fore he answered Uncle Sam ' s call. However, in that time, he made a name for himself averaging 15 points a game and all around floor work which aided State to several victories. George Hamric — One of the most im- proved players on the squad, George finished his first year as a regular in third place in team scoring with 166 points. His work on rebounds ' plus be- ing a dead shot made him always a serious scoring threat. Bob Johnston — Bob was one of the best guards in the Conference. His timing, work on rebounds, accurate passing, and occasional field goals made him one of the steadiest players on the team. He usually guarded the star on the opposing team and made some big dents in their averages. Paul Graziano — A freshman who played like a veteran, Blocky ' s speed and ball-hawking sabotaged en- emy morale and unity. An excellent shot and a good play maker, he will some day be one of State ' s outstand- ing stars. Dewey Hawkins — Strong on the defense and adding field goals when they were most needed were specialities of Dewey ' s. He has the unusual record of never being banished from a game because of personal fouls. His presence in every game made State ' s defense safe.
