JAMES GLADWELL President RALPH INGRAM Vice-President BARBARA PIGOTT Secretary -Treasurer JOE BECK Sergeant-at-arms The Senior Class With the graduation of the class of 1950, Fairmont State will have given instructions to the largest post-war graduation class in the history of the school. When we were just shy, backward freshmen, the dream of graduation was a very faint light in the distance over the mountains of hardships, worry, and study. But at long last the dream has come true, and the reality of graduation is almost un- believable. Many of us will stay in Fairmont, while the rest will go back to our own homes or out in the world to put into practice the know- ledge and instructions gained at the College in the Clouds. Regard- less of where we go, many happy memories, friendships, and good times will go with us. All good things must come to an end, but they shall never be forgotten. The graduating class of 1950 has been an active one. Every type or kind of activity has been staged and executed successfully. With the class of 195 0, the school gained valuable knowledge in student government, classes, rules, etc. We have more-or-less been guinea pigs for the betterment of our Alma Mater — Fairmont State college. And for this we are glad. page twenty-four

THE CLASSES

Page 29 text:

The Blazers To be elected as a member of the Blazers is a distinction highly honored by every girl at the College in the Clouds. Each year out- standing senior girls are elected to this honorary women ' s organ- ization. Membership for the Blazers is based on the qualities of scholar- ship, leadership, loyalty, and integrity. This year the membership of this honorary organization is made up of five girls, each one chosen on the qualities listed above. Eleanor R. Bayley, dean of -women, serves as sponsor for the group. Being an honorary organization does not prevent the girls from being active in college life. The Blazers serve as head counselors for counselor ' s camp each year. Here students who have been selected as counselors are given a week-end of relaxation and instructions for the approaching senior day and registration day when they assist the freshmen in finding their way about the campus and giving aid to the bewildered Freshies whenever such aid is needed. The girls also provide leadership for worthwhile projects on the campus of the College in the Clouds. The Blazers is a comparatively new group on the campus, but since they were organized, the club has been one of the most exclusive on the campus. The name itself is one that is looked at by all the girls at Fairmont State with an eye of envy and hope. The club is constantly growing in stature and value at the College in the Clouds.
