MCCOY, .GENERAL DRUGGIST, A LOYAL, GENEROUS FRIEND OF FAIRVIEW HIGH SCHOOL, AND TYPE OF BUSINESS MAN THAT WE ADMIRE, THIS VOLUME OF THE PAW PAW IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED BY THE JUNIOR CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED NINETEEN. GENERAL J. KENNETH McCOY J. Kenneth McCoy , KENNETH MCCOY was born February 19, 1889, at Ashley, Doddridge county, West Virginia. He received his early education at Ashley and taught school two terms, from 1906-1907, and entered Valparaiso University, Valparaiso, Indiana, in March, 1908. He received his degree and graduated in Pharmacy May IZ, 1909. He was stationed at Kingwood, West Virginia, until December 21, 1912. Then he came to Fairview, where he has been in business ever since. As he handles the school books he has come in direct contact with most of the stu- dents of the Fairview schools and has endeared himself to one and all by his cour- tesy, love of fun, pleasing disposition and keen interest in school activities. He has ever been a booster of Fairview High and was unanimously chosen by the Paw Paw board this year as one well wchthy of the recognition accorded him by the dedication of this year book. May his tribe increase EDITORIAL ICTORY WITH honor has at last crushed the old spirit of indifference which menaced the Juniors at the beginning of the school year. In bringing forth this book we have not only signed the armistice, but the final treaty of peace, with the above mentioned enemy. The Junior army of ideas and thoughts have been both enlisted and drafted into service to make this work, we hope, the greatest triumph of our school career thus far. The book is drawn up on a military plan as a souvenir of the world's greatest war as well as a record of the school year's happenings. In it may be found the commissioned officers of the cabinet, the faculty staff in this training school of life, the different branches of school service with their gallant officers and brave privates in the ranks, and the various corps representing the many activities of school life. Note carefully our service flag containing the star pictures of the boys and teachers of our own Fairview High who marched away so valiantly in answer to their coun- try's call and did their bit so that the schools, the melting pot in which all kinds of materials, foreign and native, are inoured, and from which come forth splendid, intelligent American citizens, may safely carry on their great work for humanity. i We feel that this last mentioned feature alone is worth the price of the book.

HEN WE of the Eighth grade volunteered for the more difficult work in the High School infantry we were placed under Major W. D. Ice. In this branch we did very well indeed, some of our rook- ies winning medals for distinguished service. Doughgirl Vivian Flowers won the Cross of Peace for bravery in reading for the Shakespearians. It was in the infantry that we received the hard drilling which fitted us so well for other branches of the service. . The next year we were promoted to the cavalry, where we valiantly mounted the spirited steeds of knowledge and rode swiftly toward the objectives of our ambitions. At this time our company won some of the important victories. Private Ruby Straight won the Cross of Peace for bravery in reading for the Ciceronians and Private Henry Hall won the Iron Cross of Oratory for the Shakespearians. As we had ridden so ifvell in the cavalry we were sent the next campaign to the aviation corps. During this season we received some valuable training. Of course some tried to Hy too high, and some had defective propellers on their aero-planes, with the result that they fell to the ground with a sickening thud, but Private Gerald Carpenter helped to win the Victory Cross in debate for the Shakespearians and Pri- vate Madge Michael the Cross of Peace in reading for the Ciceronians. One of our aviators captured the Shurtleff-Toothman prize offered to the best all round soldier in the regiment. Privates Gerald Carpenter, Golda Parrish and Flossie Eddy gained prizes as a result of our terrific struggle with the year book. In the last campaign of the war we were so far advanced in army tactics that we were transferred to the foremost branch of the service and the most dangerous, the tank corps. Here we were still under Major Ice, but we now had a new colonel. Mr. Campbell. We also had a new and efficient staff of lower officers to lead us to our final triumph: Captain, Gerald Carpenter: First Lieutenant, Keith Coffmang Second Lieutenant, Helen Havilchek, and Sergeant Zelma Toothman. twenty six Our company has always taken a prominent part in social activ- ities and has not fallen down this year under Captain Carpenter. A Y. M. C. A. circle of entertainment was originated and each soldier and officer gave a party at his barracks. One evening we all went down to Major Ice's commissary and had an informal good time. We espe- cially enjoyed mess, which was served in true military style. Banquets and receptions were given for the company occasionally, and we took part in almost all the regimental affairs. Our corps has also been well represented in athletics. While we do not have a number on the regular team, we have one well worth men- tioning, Park Weaver, who is the captain of the team and the star player. A majority of the girls' team is from our company. Captain Anna Underwood and Manager Vivian Flowers 'are both from the tank corps. We have the honor of having in our corps a discharged sailor, Herbert Toothman, who sailed the high seas for nearly a year at the time the submarines were the most active. Taken as a whole, the tank corps cannot be surpassed, for they are an invincible company who will go Over the top for the last time next May with signal honor and a well-earned victory will be theirs. As you were, Gentlemen! Forward! March! One! Two! Three! Four! FLOSSIE. EDDY.

Our number has decreased since we made our debut As a jolly lot of Freshmen so kindly and true: Trials and troubles have been ours galore, But we have conquered them all and shall still conquer more A goodly number were called to fight For freedom, humanity, justice and right: We point to their records with pardonable pride, And trust they'll return from the other side. We, the faithful nineteen, who have reached the goal, For which we have striven with might and soul, Have labored hard by day and night, To reach the summit of our present height. And now that our trials and labors are done, Our hopes all fulfilled, and victory won, We pass to real life with hopes flying high- To our dear school and teachers we now bid GOODBYE COLDA PARISH Y' If 54 X I 1 X vnwy Fx awp f 7 13 L25 f Q Q 5?

Nature has shown favor to our thriving little town, For its coal, oil and gas have won us much renown. The people are noted also for their honesty and thrift, And the beauties of our town are not all a natural gift.

Aviation Corps Record N THE fall of 1916 a large number of boys and girls enlisted in the army with headquarters at Fairview High School under the leadership of Major W. P. Jarvis. We enlisted in the lowest ranks, the infantry, and those higher up nicknamed us rookies without regard for the fact that the name had once also been applied to them. But by the aid of our great Colonel Bartlett we met all enemies and they were ours. The battle lasted only nine months. When we became sophomores Commander-in-Chief Ward appointed Colonel Margaret Wilson to lead us on to victory. Although we had many hardships in our sophomore year, we overcome them by great effort and now we are a valued branch of service, the aviators. This year Commander-in-Chief Campbell gave us again our valiant leader, Colonel Margaret Wilson, under whom we hope to press forward to ultimate victory. Whexi it comes to the social side of soldier life the aviators are always on hand, especially when there are entertainments in camp and mess is to be served. In the First and second years of our army service we had more social activities than any other crops, for we believe that All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. In athletics we have much of which to boast, as Captain Snodgrass, First Lieu- lenanl Stewart and Privates Smith and Jarvis are all on the regular basket ball team. All these play excellent, clean games, which bring many honors to our corps. We feel safe in saying that ii ft were nct for them athletics would not amount to much in lfairview High. At the tournament given at Buckhannon their aeroplanes soared 'way above our expeclations and almost reached the championship. They flew so high They almost touched the sky. Wliile we are represented on the girls' basket ball team by Private Ruth Sig- gins only, she easily counts for two, both as to size and ability to play. Although we do not rank high in scholarship, when the records are distributed every nine weeks the aviators are found always to have come out triumphant, al- though some hazardous risks are taken. Furthermore, we are proud to have in our thirty nine forty ranks Private Jessie Waters, who made the highest average of any soldier in camp the first semester. We hope to be able to say this of other members of our company at the close of the close of this year's training. Private Mary Stewart is the crack army musician of the whole regiment and her stirring music in chapel, literary, and at social events does much to keep up our morale. We are glad to be the branch of service that puts out the Paw Paw this year, because this, the closing year of the greatest war in history, is the most appropriate time to publish a fitting memorial, such as we feel this is. Since the world war ended, November eleventh, nineteen hundred eighteen, we conceived the idea of a military year book, which would be a splendid souvenir by which to recall to Fair- view people this great event. ' In conclusion, since the aviators have stood so nobly at their post and acquitted themselves as true aviators ought in all the battles of the past year, we hope to hear in the future this tribute, Hats off, the aviators are passing by.

D. Yost, and when we entered l-ligh School in the fall of 1917, with about thirty-four enlisted soldiers, Commanderein-Chief Ward was very kind and gave us Colonel Cook as our class officer. We then elected the other officers of our class, who were: Captain Dodd, president: First Lieutenant McCoy, vice president: Second Lieutenant Austin, secretary: Sergeant Fritz, treasurer, and Pearle Tooth- man, keeper of archivesl We were not in High School very long before many boys began to leave and enter into regular service for Uncle Sam. It happened that none of our boys went, not because they were unpatriotic, but because they were too young, so we formed a reserve corps and held ourselves ready to aid in every way possible. As we were then rookies, it seemed to us that every one looked down upon us, but this did not trouble us, for we had our good times along with the rest. One event which we shall never forget was a sleigh ride which was gotten up by Major Yost and the soldier lads of our class. We all met at the car station and started about six o'clock. We went as far as Grant Town, where we captured many provisions. On our return trip we sang our war songs and gave our battle cry with great vim and enthusiasm. We arrived home about twelve olclock. Two other events were Y. M. C. A. entertainments given by Major Yost and Colonel Cook, both of which were very enjoyable. . A One of our boys, Private Dodd, was on the athletic association board, and was also the best cartoonist in school, as he won the Paw Paw prize for the best cartoon for the year book. Rookie Eleanor McElroy was also given a medal for writing a short story. This year we entered into school with still greater military spirit. We were given the name of Sophomore Cavalry. We then elected our officers for the year, who were: Colonel Cook, Captain Toothman, First Lieutenant Williams, Second Lieutenant Levell and Sergeant Wilson. One social event which occurred was a party given by Colonel Cook on St. Valentine's Day. forty four We have in our ranks Private Wilson, who is assistant business manager of the Paw Paw, and also First Lieutenant Williams, who is vice president of the Shakespearian Literary Society. We have three in our corps who deserve sharp- shootcrs' medals for skill in acquiring knowledge. These are Captain Toothman and Privates Miller and McCoy. Two of our boys, Private lVlcCray and First Lieutenant Williams, played on the boys' basket ball team, while on the girls' team we also have two players, Private Austin as center and Private Shuman as running center. All in all, we are a well drilled company of soldiers, and when we are given orders to go in battle we eagerly mount our gallant horses and go Over the top with this stirring battle cry: He: Ski: Hi: Ski: He: Hi: Hi: V-i-c-t-0-r-y !

Clear the way for the troops who are to do the real lighting for the next four years! Even now we are taking an active part in the struggle of High School life, inthe literary corps, as buglers at basket ball, and in the daily drill of the class room. We are sure to win everywhere with such noble officers as Major O. E. Morris, Colonel Ella R. McDonald, Captain Arthur Ammons, First Lieutenant Cecil Toothman, Second Lieutenant Estelle Toothman, and Sergeant Ben Ammons. We believe in keeping up the morale of our soldiers by providing recreation, and our first effort at entertainment was at the Senior-Freshmen reception given in honor of the Juniors and Sophomores. This was the beginning of our social achieve- ments in High School. Then we gave a watch party New Year's eve and ushered in 1919 in a fitting manner with a Ublare of bugles and a ruffle of drums. In other school activities we are going to become very prominent- We are already represented on the first basket ball team by Captain Arthur Ammons, who is bound to wini We have also a Freshman basket ball team, with which we hope to conquer many of Fairview's athletic enemies in the years to come. We have several members of the girls' team, too: Rookie Ruth Tennant, Doughgirl Louise Gilleland, and Raw Recruits Blcndine Toothman, Mlidred Sine, Bernice Smith, and Dorothy Dodd. We have two splendid cartoonists in Sergeant Ben Ammons and Doughboy Claude Swiger, who bid fair to become famous. Raw Rcruit Blendine Toothman, our reader, adds and will add much to our class laurels. Captain Arthur Ammons, Buck Private Leon Pettit, Doughboy Clyde Swiger, and Raw Recruit Blendine Toothman are the singers of our entertainment bureau, while Raw Recruit Dorothy Dodd and Private Vereda Hamilton are the musicians. We have entered upon the High School battlefield as a regiment of Freshies and are enduring the hardships thereof. But we are all stilled and keep perfect step. We had a few slackers, but they have been dropped from the ranks. Summing up these facts, clear reaclert can you doubt the promise of the class of 1922? - Our motto is Each for the other, ancl all for the class.

Under the direction of Mess Sergeant Troxell many substitutes for flour, sugar, and fats were used, and with success. Substantial and practical foods were pre- pared for action, the officers of the camp generally being the first to capture the new dishes. After the armistice was signed and the ban lifted from many of the food stuffs different peace time recipes were tried, also with great success. The girls were very apt and learned quickly the technic of cookery and when the army was disbanded each member of the training corps carried with her as a weapon with which to con- quer lhe world a notebook filled with many good, reliable recipes and household hints. Each one had also an honorable discharge. for no one was missing in action or a deserter from the ranks. Some of the girls enlisted in the Sewing Class Corps, where the different kinds of stitches were learned on a garment made by hand. Later machine guns were brought into use and two other garments were obtained by using both machine guns and hand grenades. A middy, waist, skirt, and other objectives were attained. Then some of the girls drilled on garments to be used when they were discharged from the grand army after the four year's campaign. fifty three IO. fifty four Military Rule and Regulations Aviator: duc in camp any time before dinner.

Though they were defeated by the grand eloquence of the Tommics, commonly known as Shakes- pearians, in the great rpring drive of 1918, yet, like true Romans, the Ciceronians are stronger in defeat than victory. Wheat sciiccl opened last fall the Ciceronian corps enlarged their ranks by drawing on the reserves who had been drafted from the eighth grade last spring after filling out and answering their questionnaires. These reserves have made good privates and are willing to do battle for old C. L. S. when placed on duty. There have been a number of sham battles this year. These have always showed clearly that the commanding officer knew how to marshal his forces for an evenly-matched contest. These ,combats were waged in imagination over problems of the battle field of the world war. There were many victories and many defeats, some prisoners, and a few casualties. Once the forces gave a Y. M. A. enter- tainment in order to add more pleasure to their strenuous life and dramatized Ye Old Skule Days of Long Ago. The villagers and T'ommies attended and enjoyed a good laugh. Other fights, having an affirmative and negative wing, were: Should the United States own and control the Railroads? and, Resolved, That America was justified in waging war against Germany by sending troops to Eu- rope. Nlusic, declamations, and readings gave spice and variety to the regular drill work. All of these exercises are a part of the training given by the officers preparatory to the struggle to go 0ver the top in the final drive against the Tommies. Now the enemy has already sent out his barrage: it has been expected for some time and every possible preparation has been made, so the fire is being returned, and we believe that Waterloo lies in wait for the Tommies at the end of the conflict. The captain has ordered Forward, March , and is conhdent that with a squal such as Ruth, Madge and Anna, three .loans of Arc, and Joshua, that fighter of old who commanded the sun to stand still, we shall tie the colors of white and gold to the Croix de Cuerre and mtarch triumphantly back to the Ciceronian Camp. fifty nine sixty SHAKESPEARIAN ALLIES PRESIDENT ,...........

Since all in Camp Fairview belong to one or the other, there naturally is great competition among them and each tries to outvie the other, not only in battle, but also in providing entertain- ment during hours of relaxation. Each division meets on alternate Thursday afternoons for the purpose of per- fecting themselves in the arts of peace as well as those of war. Since every great war has need of eloqvent oratcrs and debaters to set forth to the, world the issues and principles involved and to stir into action the smoldering patriotism of a people, our soldiers are given training which will develop their latent talents in this respect. Readings and music are to entertain and amuse those oft duty. The Shakespear- ians take great pride in providing especially interesting programs, and also to main- tain their high standards at all sessions. During the early part of the campaign a mass meeting was held, to which both soldiers in camp and civilians were invited. A large crowd assembled. Special features were the spontaneous singing of several popular songs and the play entitled The Great Punkin Case. Later a musical program was given on Thursday afternoon and the coast artil- lery under Colonel Tennant were invited to attend. Private Cecil Toothman's French harp solos, including The Star Spangled Bauer, My Country. 'Tis of Thee and K-K-K-Katie, were greeted with much applause, which attested the keen appreciation of the audience. The duet, 'Till We Meet Again, by Raw Recruit Blendine Toothman and Private Edith Broadwater and a musical reading by Private Helen Havlichek were other delightful numbers. The Shakespearians, however, do not base their claim to the title of Rainbow Division on any of the above mentioned achievements, but upon their splendid work in active service, and the decisive victory which was theirs after a terrific conflict lasting three years. Since the organization of these divisions three years ago it has been the custom every year to select the best trained fighters from each side and to permit them to meet in mortal combat between the lines, like Davidgand C-oliah of old, or Sohrab and Rustum in Matthew Arnold's poem. As these are the picked troops, upon their victory or defeat hangs the fate of the whole division. The first campaign was closed by a sweeping triumph for the Shakespearians, who won all three objectives sought, reading, oration and debate. In the second campaign the Ciceronians gained two objectives, debate and reading, while the Shakespearians gained only one. Last year the ultimate objective, a silver loving cup, to be presented to the side which won two battles out of three, resulted in the bloodiest conflict of the war. Both sides were well equipped an dtrained, and both were determined to be the victor. The Shakespearians chose as combatants Private Margaret Cowan, Private Gerald Carpenter, Captain Walter Cox, and Second Lieutenant Ruth Weaver. At the appointed time these, backed by the splendid morale of the whole division, bravely charged the enemy, and after a terrinc struggle, gained the two strategic posts neces- sary to their final triumph, andcaptured the loving cup. sixty one , MUSTARD GAS BRIGADE, CHIEF OF STAFF .,... ....

Tennant, C0llllIlil11dOl Victory Boys ARLY in the autumn of l9l8 a call came from the national government for an organized effort to secure funds for the financial support of the following organizations: Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., Salvation Army, and Knights of Colum- bus, in their work of supplying food, clothing, comfort, and entertainment for the soldiers in the Great European War. The idea of enlisting the sympathy and 'up- port of the boys of the country by an 'organization to be known as the Victory Boys was conceived. Mr. Levi B. l-larr, of Fairmont, was made county chairman, and Mr. O. C. Tennant chairman for Paw Paw district. Each boy was asked to make a voluntary contribution of Hve dollars and become a member. The follow- ing boys of Fairview High School and Eighth Grade made the required contribution and are members of the Victory Boys' organization: Paul Michael, Truman Par- rish, Milford Wilson, Emmett Greaser, Roy Amos, Newton Michael, joshua McCoy, Cecil Toothman, Leon Pettit, Claude Jarvis, Luther Gump, Clyde Swiger. john Paul Michael, Arthur Ammons, Keith Coffman. Merle Parrish, Earle Wil- son, Ben Ammons, Maurice Kincell, Gerald Carpenter, Park Weaver, Olan Mc- Cray, Clifton Jarvis, Ross Snodgrass, and Fred Stewart. ' Some of these boys had already purchased Liberty Bonds and many of them own War Saving Stamps. In this instance they were giving their money without any expectation of a monetary return. They were too young to enlist and bear arms in the support of their government, so they did the next most effective thing and gave of their means to help those who had already done so, and now as the boys come marching home again with glad and gallant tread, theirs will be the pleasure of knowing that they were the boys behind the men behind the guns, and that they, too, answered their country's call just as gladly and just as patriotically as did those who fought in the front line trenches. ' sixty five w sixty six MUNITION FACTORY Umbrellas and Umbrellas T WAS a rainy day, but Mr. and Mrs. Ransome decided to run the risk of a good wetting :and make their promised call upon their friends, the De Nores. Now, the De Nores lived in a fifth floor apartment of the Lyons building, the largest apartment house inthe city. When the Ransomes reached the building they entered and went up to the fifth floor, but left their umbrellas in the vestibule. After an hour's pleasant visit they left, but when they reached the vestibule they could not find their umbrellas. They searched a short time and could not see them anywhere, so they borrowed two from the De Nores and went home. The next day Mr. Ran- some inserted an advertisement in the daily papers which read as follows: STOLEN. The persons who took the umbrellas from the vestibule of the Lyons building are known. If they will return the umbrellas to Room 5l8, Erie building, no questions will be asked. 'The hrst paper containing this notice appeared at one o'clock the next day. At three o'clock immediate results were obtained. Mr. Ransome arrived at his office at this time, opened the door, and stepped into his waiting room. As he took a step forward he almost fell over a pile of umbrellas which lay on the floor. Upon examining them he counted six ladies' and four gentlemen's umbrellas. He placed them in an adjoining closet and entered his private office. Here he worked until about five o'clock. Several times he thought he heard some one entering his waiting room door. However, as he was very busy, he did not pay much attention to these sounds. But, lo! when he opened his office door that evening there were eleven ladies' and fourteen gentlemen's umbrellas piled upon the floor, and when he went out there were two more hanging in the letter chute. These were his own. Taking them he went home. ' The next day's papers contained the announcement that the umbrellas stolen from the Lyons building'had been returned. The next morning, however, lVlr. Ran- some entered his office with great caution, lest he bump his leg on a stray umbrella. Did he find one? No, not one, but by actual count there were fifty-three umbrellas strewn over the floor. After leaning back against the door until he could recover from a hearty laugh, Mr. Ransome rushed to his office desk and, seizing the tele- phone, called up the Lazear Second-hand Company. ln five minutes he had sold ninety umbrellas for the neat sum of twenty-five dollars. . That evening at dinner Mrs. Ransome discovered a beautiful little watch upon her napkin. Oh, Harry! what a lovely watch, she exclaimed. That's to celebrate a successful attempt in the umbrella market! said Mr. Ransome. What do you mean, Harry? she asked. Oh, he replied, I just had the umbrella market cornered.

Most of the High School students were present. There were not a great many games played, as there was such a large crowd present, but everyone enjoyed themselves. Re- fre:hments, consisting of sandwiches, pickles, cake, ice cream, and coffee were served. PARTY FOR FARMINGTON. Whezi Farmington played basket ball here a number of girls from that school came with the team and were entertained at the homes of the various students here. After the gamc we invited these and the regular Farmington team up to the school house, where we had a jolly good time playing our usual games. WATCH PARTY. Cn December 31 the Freshmen gave a watch party from 9:30 P. M. until the next morning. Each member invited a guest, and every class in the school was represented. Many games were played such as Stage Coach, Fruit Basket, Going to Jerusalem, Pig in the Parlor, and Charades. The last named was especially enjoyed by all who participated and many amusing characles were thought out and enacted- Abour ll:30 sandwiches, cake, and coffee were served by the girls of the class, and after seeing the old year -out and the new one in, everyone went home feeling that they had spent a delightful evening. PARTY FOR MISS MARTIN. An informal party was given after the program presented by the Shakespearian Literary Society at their first night session, in honor of Miss Alice Virginia Martin, of Parkersburg. Miss Martin was a former member of the faculty here and a very popular teacher, so her many friends took this opportunity of spending a social hour with her. The evening was spent in music, playing games, and talking over old times. W. D. ICE ENTERTAINS SENIORS. . On February 4, l9l9, Mr. W. D, Ice, who has shown the present Senior class many memorable good times since he was chosen as their sponsor in their Fresh- man year, invited them and the High School teachers down to his commodious home to spend the evening. Charles Cook, of Cameron, was also a member of the party. sixty nine The guests left here oh the seven o'clock car and disembarked at Grant Town, where they were joined by Helen Havlichek and Gladys Compton. The remainder of the trip was made in two hay wagons. As soon as the visitors entered the house they were treated to apples. They were then given the freedom of the home and lights from every room blazed a welcome. Those present then proceeded to have a royal good time, each as his or her fancy dictated. Late in the evening all adjourned to the kitchen, where chow, consisting of hot sausages, cheese sandwiches, pickles, cinnamn rolls, cakes, coffee, sweet milk, and buttermilk, were served in true military style- Every one ate and drank as much as he could, but it was feared by some that Park would get drunk on sweet milk and that Gerald would pass over as a result of his gastronomic feats, but strange to say, netiher of these dire disasters oc- curred. 'T hen the wagons conveyed the tired but happy party to Grant Town, where they caught the eleven o'clock car for Fairview. PARTY FOR ELKINS GIRLS. A party was given for the visiting basket ball girls after the game here. All the students were invited and many former graduates were present. The girls were tired after the game, but enjoyed themselves nevertheless. The same old games were played, Peel the Willow, Virginia Reel, Pig in the Parlor, and the Dusty Miller. SURPRISE PARTY FOR MISS MeDONALD. The Freshmen gave Miss Ella McDonald, their class officer, a surprise party on the evening of April 9th, but were kept busy keeping it a secret, as she thought burglars were in the school building. It took the combined efforts of Miss Cook and Miss Wilson to prevent her from pursuing a tour of investigation. When all was in readiness she was allowed to enter the building, where she found, not burglars, but the Freshmen and their friends. Thenshe really was surprised. After a social time spent in playing games, ice cream and cake were served. SURPRISE PARTY FOR MISS COOK. The Sophomores then gave a surprise party on April l 7th for their class officer, Miss Alice Virginia Cook. She came as usual on such occasions, very much dressed up, but had a good time anyway. She was genuinely surprised, as she went over to inspect the work of the Dramatic Club, but found the Sophomores and their guests, about sixty in all. Several of her former pupils graced the party with their presence, and everyone present entered with great zest and merriment into the old and new games. Supper partners were found by matching names of towns. Ice cream and cake were served by the Sophomore girls. BASKET BALL BANQUET. The annual basket ball banquet was given on April 22, l9l9, at 6:30 P- M., in the High School auditorium. All but two of the basket ball boys, the faculty, O. C. Tennant, W. D. Yost, and Dr. W. P. Jarvis were present. The dinner seventy - was served by the Domestic Science girls under the supervision of their teacher, Miss Catherine Troxell. The menu was as follows: FRUIT COCKTAIL MEAT LOAF MASHED POTATOES CREAMED PEAS BAKED CORN ROLLS JELLY BUTTER PICKLES COMBINATION SALAD ICE CREAM CAKE COFFEE Between the courses toasts were responded to by several of the boys and their visitors. Miss Alice Virginia Cook presided as toastmistress. These are the toasts: My Three Years of Basket Ball in F- H. S .,,.....,.,....

On the day after the basket ball banquet the girls of the Domestic Science Class invited themselves and the teachers to an informal lunchon in the science room, at which time the scraps from the banquet of the preceding evening were consumed. These, with the addition of hot coffee, made a very good meal and all present thor- oughly enjoyed it. V JUNIOR PARTY. The juniors gave their first party on April 25- Each one invited four friends. After many games and music on the Victrola, supper partners were found by match- ing states and their capitals. Then sandwiches, pickles, cake, and coffee were served. MR. CAMPBELL ENTERTAINS FOR SENIORS. Mr. Campbell, class officer for the Seniors, entertained them with a party at the school auditorium on the evening of May the first. Contests of various kinds were indulged in, and these afforded much fun. Splendid refreshments were served and all present voted it one of the most delightful events given this year. seventy one FRESI-IIVIAN PICNIC. The Freshmen held their picnic at Gilboa Grove on ilVlay 6th, l9l9. They went in automobiles and left the school building about two P. M. They arrived at the grove about two-thirty, where they spent the time taking pictures and picking Howers until five o'clock, when they had supper consisting of chicken, sandwiches, pickles, olives, potato salad, oranges, bananas, cake, and ice cream. After supper they went for a ride to Fairmont. About six o'clock it began to rain, but too late to prevent them from having a god time, and they arrived home about eight P. Nl. COMMUNITY PARTY. A community party was given at the gym Tuesday, 'lVlay 6th, in order to make money to pay for the basket ball girls' trip to the tournament. Flossie and Edith were in charge of the lish pond- They charged ten cents to fish, and all had many good laughs after examining the various species caught. Ruth and Vivian had the ice cream stand, where both cones and dishes of cream were sold. Zelma had the guess cake in charge. Elizabeth Crone won the cake, as she guessed a grain of corn, which was cogrect. There were also two cake walks, Vivian 'and Mr. Wilt winning the lirst and Ruth and Harland the second. After the cake walk every one joined in the games, Farmer in the Dell, Dusty Miller, Peel the Will'ow, and Virginia Reel. Although it was a rainy night, a large crowd attended. sew enty two Tank Entertainment Bureau ARIETY is the spice of life, at least so the seniors think, and early in the year they organized a class literary in order to make the work more interesting and also to learn the art of conducting a business meeting properly. Each member of the class look an active part and there was not one slacker on any program during the whole year. A new president and secretary were elected every four meetings ancl each carried on the work very efficiently. The first meeting was held with Keith Coffman in the chair as president and Doris Woody as secretary, both of whom did their work well. Wheii their term of office ended, Herbert Toothman and Madge Michael took their places. During their term many delightful programs were given. Wheli the time came for another election, the class fromed a conspiracy against Leo Merrifield and Anna Under- wood, so they were unanimously elected and have conducted the meetings very successfully. Miss Cook acted as critic for the entire year and pointed out the mis- takes to the class. There they corrected to such an extent that at the end of the year few criticisms could be made. The literaries were held on Fridays, thus ending the week's work very effec- tively, as usually each program consisted of selections from the one author whose life had been 'studied that week. Poems were read or memorized, stories were told, and quotations were given by each member. The Holmes, Hawthorne, Longfellow, Whittier, Poe, and Mark Twain programs were among the best- Occasionally the work was based on the Independent. Music on the Victrola was always a pleasing feature. Here are a few of the programs: HAWTHRONE. The Paradise of Children ...........r,.,...........,..... ......,.... L eo Merrifield The Gentle Boy .,.... ........... ......,,...

Fairview's keen desire for battle urged them to enter the fight. As the weather was fine, the search for the enemy was made in Ford flying machines. After maneuver- ing about a few hours and being tossed to and fro by the cold winds, the enemy's camp was finally located. A battle for honors was soon waged between two divisionsg the defenders of their colors were divided into the first and second divisions, and Fairview was in the second division. At the onset she came face to face with the strong squad from Claysville. Fairview's captain ordered his men to double quick and to shoot with deadly aim, the orders were obeyed, and the enemy was annihiliated to the score of 26 to 40. Fairview was relieved for a few minutes by the reserves, who took charge of the priosners. After the wounds were dressed and a period of rest ensued, the recruits came back and met the onslaught of the corps from Point Marion. Fair-view had lost some of her old pep in the previous hard fight, and the cold wave encountered by the squad in its hunt for the enemy had so paralyzed its vigor that the plan to deal the foe a stunning blow fell short by a score of 29 to 33. After the struggle Fairview faced retreat, the retreat became a rout-a route unknown to the pilot. Already there were three inches of snow on the ground and the feathery Hakes were flying thickly, making ghosts of guideposts, but still the little old Ford rambled right along. But as we were rambling it was difficult to tell that we were making any head- way, so the pilot descended with the machine and inquired our location. We were lost in the Argonne Forest sure enough, and only one-half mile from the base of the enemy. The one thing to do was to disguise ourselves and fly over the same territory, which meant about twelve miles more. The only two of the squad who knew the road were Colonel Tennant and Private Gerald Carpenter. Colonel Tennant was not sure because the snow had dressed up objects in such ghostly forms-the compass no longer poined north--making original landmarks, guide posts, and tree markings very obscure even for an old scout, and as Gerald had been hit in the eye with a piece of shrapnel during a heated engagement and the inflictoin developed into pink eye, he could not see the way, we seemed hopelessly lost. Well, comrades, we must go back to Waynesburg and get our direction again, said the pilot, so he climbed into the cock pit of the machine and there followed the greatest demonstration of what a tin lizzyu can do that was ever made between two points. Soon we were well on our way again, and then we came upon as oldier on foot, who made a bid for a ride to Blacksville. Thinking that he would make a pood pilot, the party took him in and started on a new route, eighty which was a short cut, so as to make up lost time. When we came to a fork of the airline the orders were, Keep straight forward. After we rode for some five miles our new pilot became befogged, and on asking a stranger, we found that we should have turned to the right at a certain big white house. So we reversed our engines and recovered lost ground. When we came to the white house one of the party remarked, Sure, here's where we saw the niggers as we came over. Kenneth said, Boys, things look natural for the first time since we left Fairview. The only thing to do now was to give Lizzy the gas for she was certainly making up time, and at one-hfteen P. M. we flew into Blacksville and dined on beans and egg sandwiches. As we left Blacksville one of the machines was not working well. Clifton said it was tire trouble, Arthur said it was the fan belt, while Fred said it was the bear- ings. The whole corps pushed and worked, the machine would start off as if it meant to go, then it would take another balking spell. Finally we came to a hanger, where we made a landing and examined the running gears. Sure enough, it was the bearings. Every aviator took a hand at fixing and remodeling. There were all kinds of tools from tweezers to block and pulleys. Fred suddenly announced, She's all O. K- and then there was a scramble for position. The snow was melting so now it all depended on the chains, but we found ourselves ascending the upper airs. When we reached the summit of our flight, Park, the captain, gave a sigh and said, Boys, I reckon this is my last basket ball game for old Fairview High. I have only one regret, and that is that l failed to capture that loving grail. Park was so sure of winning the grail, so sure that he even had planned his speech on receiving the Croix de Cuerre. On the way to the front he was heard practicing, and the climax was taken from Barbara Frietchief' which he had learned in Miss Cook's English class: The clustered spires of Waynesburg stand Snow clad on the hills of a neighboring land: On that pleasant morn in early spring When we Hew over the grail to bring, etc. All returnccl home feeling that the trip had been well worth while, even though Fairview had lost the objective which it sought.

AIRVIEW High opened their basket ball offensive by a struggle with Lum- berport High on December thirteenh, with Stewart and Smith out of the fight. We were beaten in a hard-fought game by a score of 22-26. FARMINGTON CID. On December twentieth Fairview High met Farmington High at Fairview. Farmington brought a crowd of rooters with them, and although we had an easy victory, it was very exciting. The Farmington boys fought hard and would not give up until the final bugle blew, but on account of the close guarding of Weaver and Jarvis they were able to capture only fourteen points as prisoners, while we piled up forty-nine. After the fight we gave a party in honor of the visiting foe at the school house, where we all spent a very pleasant time. BUCKHANNON. Fairview High left Fairview at eight A. M. for Buckhannon, where we were to meet the strong Buckhannon five. We arrived at our destination at 3:20 P. M. and went to the New Valley Hotel, where we secured rooms for the night. The struggle started at eight-thirty, but we lost our pep at the first of the game, and so did not show what we really could do. After the game we went to the hotel, where we had a pillow fight and then went to bed. Clifton slept with his new shoes under his pillow so they would not get scarred up. We returned home Saturday feeling rather blue. CLARKSBURG. ' Clarksburg High defeated Fairview High at Fairview by the score of 41 to 22. Although their victory was decisive, the fight was interesting throughout. WESTON. Fairview had an easy time defeating the Weston corps at the battleground here. The Weston shock troops were fighters and struggled hard until the final bugle, but they were finally routed, as they were able to 'obtain only nineteen objectives, while we had fifty-one. GRAFTON. Crafton's picked troops came to this place on February seventh with the ex- pectation of an easy victory. They brought with them a band of boosters well supplied with mustard gas. The first stage ended with Grafton advancing to a score of 20 to I4, but Fairview clid not lose its morale and came back strong in the second stage of the combat, and tied the conflict in the first few minutes. When the final bugle sounded the score was 28 to 37 in favor of our soldiers. eighty three WADESTOWN. Wadestown did not make it very interesting for their Fairview opponents, as they were defeated by a score of 73 to l7. FARMINGTON The squad, accompanied by a number of munition workers well supplied with mustard gas, left here at six P. M., landed at Farmington at seven, and advanc- ed straight to the battleground, which we found to be admirably suited to mili- tary tactics. The combat began at eight-fifteen. We had anitcipated meeting a vastly inferior enemy, but to our surprise they proved to be a worthy foe, whose morale was splendid and who pressed us hard at times. The final score was I8-l 5 in our favor. After the smoke of battle-had cleared away Farmington, generous even in defeat, entertained us on the recent scene of conflict with a party, which we thoroughly enjoyed- Later they kept us all night at their barracks and most of us returned home the next day at nine o'clock. Privates Lornie Williams and Glenn Fox, for reasons purely feminine, were A. W. O. L. until that evening. SALEM. V On the evening of January eleven Fairview High met Salem High on the battle ground here and had an easy triumph. We won by the score of 61 to 6. SHINNSTON. Shinnston came to Fairview anticipating an easy victory, but changed its mind in the first few minutes of the combat. The battle was hard fought, but the Shinns- ton squad would not give up until the final signal was given, at which time we were in the advance 43 kilometers, as the score was 34 to l l. THREE DAY TRIP. We left camp for Salem February 27 at one o'clock. We arrived at Clarksf burg at three-thirty and went to the Gore barracks, where we got rooms for the night. We left for Salem at six-thirty, and when we arrived there we found a lot of girls to greet us. They gave some battle cries and we took a taxi for the battle ground. It seems there were no boys but plenty of girls in Salem, so Herbert and Park decided right away that they would like to stay there. We had an easy time win- ning the encounter and afterwards General Campbell set up the drinks. Then he left us and went to visit some of his relatives. We left Salem at ten o'clock and reached Clarksburg at eleven. We all went to our rooms and about three o'clock Smithy and Herb got hungry, so they went down town to a mess hall and got some sandwiches. We ate them and then went to bed. The next day Herbert and Park went to see two . Red Cross nurses, and at seven-thirty we were on the fighting ground. We had lost our pep, and Clarksburg had an easy triumph. While we were at the battle field it started to rain and everybody had gone before Olan and Clifton were ready. They started, but after awhile realized they were lost- Olan asked Clifton what the name of the barracks was. Clifton said he did not know. However, after a long search in the pouring rain, they found it. eighty four The next day we started for Jane Lew at six-thirty P. M. and at eight o'clock we were on the scene where the conflict was to be. The struggle started off with jane Lew advancing I3 to 0, but we soon got our fighting spirit up and the first stage ended with them leading by two points. In the final stage we came back strong and won by a score of 37-34. We left there at nine-thirty for Clarksburg, where we stayed all night. The next day we returned to Camp Fairview, feeling tired but happy, as our drive was in the main successful. FAIRMCNT On March seventh Fairview made an expedition through No Man's Land to the territory occupied by their most deadly enemy-Fairmont-where they encoun- tered in mortal combat their shock troops. In the beginning the battle was very close, but Fairmont soon was in the advance and remained there the rest of the fight. This encounter was remarkable for its football tactics rather than basket ball technic, and Private Pete Hamilton got away with a lot of the German frightfulness policy. Fairmont won by a score of 36 to l7. FAIRMONT CZJ. Fairmont then made a return raid upon Fairview the next night, but they found Fairview ready and waiting for them. The struggle began with Fairview in the lead and we kept ahead throughout the game. Big Pete Hamilton again tried to pull his frightfulness policy, but like the German generals, his barrage on the way across No lVlan's Land gave our troops due warning of his intended attack, so that when he arrived he found that Privates Stewart and Smith were just about as fright- ful as he was. The encounter was exciting throughout and the largest crowd of the campaign witnessed the contest-at-arms. When the conflict ended the score was 3l-24 in our favor. RIVESVILLE. CU. Fairview squad went to Rivesville on May 20th, but on account of the small floor had a hard time defeating them. The game was exciting throughout and the final score was 22-I 7 in favor of Fairview. RIVESVILLE CZJ. Fairview had a walk away with Rivesville on the home battle field. as we won by a score of 60 to 20. eighty five Fairview High School at the Great Allied Battle CSTATE. TOURNAMENTJ HE HIGH SCHOOL Tournament this year was the greatest athletic struggle in the. state. Twenty-eight High Schools were represented by their respective corps. Many did not get to attend because they had won fifty per cent of their battles this season- Fairview broke camp and left for the Tournament Thursday, March l3, arriving at Buckhannon in the evening. Many other corps were also on their way, besides many basketball fansg cars were overcrowded to the point that it was difficult to obtain comfortable standing room. When the troop train arrived at Buckhannon a large crowd had gathered to welcome them: many basketball corps had already arrived on the field and were giving their battle cries. Representatives of the Tournament were there to take care of the squads. They called out the names of the towns: Clarksburg, Keyser, Fair- view, etc.: each squad reported to its superior officer, who marched it to some bar- racks near the battle ground, where it was- to receive mess during the engagements. After the squads had marched to their barracks they were asked if they cared to attend a lecture. Some of the boys wanted to go, as the lecturer was Ralph Bingham, a noted humorist. Free tickets were given to all participating in the Tour- nament. 'llhe lecture was good and all enjoyed a hearty laugh and came away feel- ing splendid. The people of Buckhannon are very hospitable in opening their barracks to the many basketball corps throughout the state: the school officers 'of the college were also very kind in giving free entertainment in the form of a high class lecture to all the visiting High School boys. The next moming the coaches of the squads met at the battle field to find out the results of the drawing. The first names were Fairview and Williams- town, and the combat started at nine-thirty a. m. When the whistle blew Fairview leaped from the trenches, and the conflict was fast and interesting: at the end of the first half the score was l l to I3 in Williamstown's favor. The Fairview boys had plenty of reserve, came back strong and within a few minutes had tied the score. The inflated bomb kept attacking the hoops of the basket till several went through, anl by the time the bugle sounded and the smoke ofthe blank cartridges cleared away the score was I6 to 20 in favor of Fairview. Fairview had many basketball fans there and they were glad to see their corps win, judging from the pandemonium throughout the corridors. Shouts of victory filled the air. Fairview had room to feel proud when it was learned that Williams- tovsm had defeated Bristol and Parkersburg in the Ohio Tournament. eighty six The next morning at eight o'clock it was Fairview's turn to iight Clendennin, champions of l9l8, who had caused Fairmont's retreat on Friday morning to the score of 28 to 6. The boys said they would make that six sixteen or know the reason why. When the referee blew his whistle the boys were ready to go Over the Top. Clendennin had expected an easy victory, but the enemy proved to be stronger than she suspected, and before she could get in her shock troops Fairview had tied the score, and within three minutes of the last half was four points ahead of its opponent. When the pistol exploded the score was 27 to Z4 in favor of Clen- dennin. This was one of the closest and exciting battles of the Tournament. Fair- view was beaten, btu not outfought. Had she defeated Clendennin she would have fought the big Charleston Rainbow Division, champions of I9I9. The boys returned to Fairview feeling that their trip had been a success. They had put Fairview on the map at the Tournament and were considered many bas- ketball fans as one of the strongest aggregations there. Among those receiving hon- orable mention were Weaver and Jarvis. The names of the fighters representing Fairview High School were: Jarvis, Weaver, Stewart, Smith, Snodgrass, lVlcCray, and Toothman. The boys roomed at Bennett's on Victoria street. Some people oppose keeping athletic squads on account of their noise, but at the places where the boys have stayed this year I have been complimented on their good behavior, and the keeper of the barracks where the squad stayed at Buckhannon especially commented on the quietness and good man- ners of the Fairview boys. 1.

We left the training camp here Tuesday afternoon, March l8th, bound for Farmington and we were accompanied by Major Ice and several of the reserve corps officers. The conflict began at eight o'cloclc before a large crowd of civilians and the Farmington S. A. T. C. corps. Our girls fought a clean, fast combatand had a harder battle to fight than they had expected, but they came back in the last stage with more vigor and gloriously won in a hand-to-hand struggle by a score of 25 to l2. eighty nine ELKINS RAID. HE. Battalion of Death made a long premeditated return sally on Friday after- noon, March 7th, and arrived on foreign soil at Elkins about nine-thirty, after a tiresome trip. We were all assigned to various barracks for entertainment by the foe, who proved to be friendly enemies. Saturday morning our corps visited Davis-Elkins College, and after attending several class room drills, we assembled in the Y. M. C. A. hut, where we listened to a splendid talk given by the commander-in-chief. Saturday afternoon Colonel Margaret Wilson, our coach, entertained both corps at her barracks from two until four. The afternoon was spent in music and readings. The deadly attack began at eight o'clock and was witnessed by a large crowd of spectators. Our soldiers made the best showing of any team that had fought D. 81 E. this year. The score was tied many times and was ll-ll at the end of the first drive. ln the last the score was tied continually until the last three min- utes, when we became exhausted. The light fmishd with a Close score. Afterwards both divisions were entertained at the barracks of Private Marian Cobb, where we had a most pleasant time. Dainty refreshments wer served by the hostess. We left Elkins Sunday afternoon, and the trip home did not seem as long, for we spent most of the time singing High School songs and giving our battle cries. The beautiful city of Elkins and its hospitable people will long be pleasant mem- ories to us. ' ninety EXCURSION TO NO MAN'S LAND. E. left Camp Fairview on Thursday morning, March 20, to attend the first annual tournament at Specer. At Clarksburg we joined battalions from Jane Lew, Rivesville, and Keyser: at Parkersburg by those from Farmington, Manning- ton, and Moundsvilleg at Ravenswood we found Huntington, Williamstown, and St. Albans. All along the line of march we gave our war whoops and sang our songs. After a long, enjoyable trip we arrived at Spencer about eight o'clock and were taken to the assigned barracks. Five of us stayed at the Methodist Y. M. C. A. hut and the other four across the street. Friday morning one of the Spencer soldier girls guided us clown town, where we met several other soldier girls, and we even went to meet the train which brought many people to the tournament. About two o'clock in the afternoon we went over the battle field, where we fought the third encounter of the aftemoon with Mannington, whom we defeated 25-5. Haught, of Fairview, captured single handed seven baskets as prisoners. We fought the second battle of the evening with Keyser, who defeated us I8-5. We were very downcast over this defeat because we felt sure we had no other chance, but soon cheered up and enjoyed the rest of the games. Saturday morning Rev. Moore and wife took us to the guardhouse for the insane, where we were shown through the buildings. We were called hot dogs by one of the inmates. We had an unexpected chance on Saturday afternoon to take part in the great war again as one of the Farmington battalion was wounded. From the losers one corps was drawn to take its place, but Fairview did not obtain the opportunity. That night we watched Huntington win from St. Albans by the score of 37-35 The conflict was very fast and at the end of the second half the score was 35-35 so they had to meet again in combat. After the war was ended, prizes were award- ed, and the best fighters were cited for bravery in action. ' All the battalions left for their home camps on Sunday and we arrived at Fair- view that night after a most enjoyable march. From Parkersburg to Clarksburg, Mannington and Fairview occupied one coach in which we did as we liked. Spencer is a pretty town and the people are very hospitable and put forth great efforts to make all the visitors enjoy themselves, and we hope that on the I9-20th of March, l920, a team from Fairview will have the privilege of attending the second annual tournament tfifere' ninety one FKESHMEN RESER V hfi wg,-gv -Q . sv' ' .. f .. 235- uinety two EIG HTH GRADE RESERVES Royal Order of Rookies MR.

Oficefs Farewell Before Going West HE PUBLICATION of the Paw Paw has been held back longer than usual on acount of the Flu We have been sadly pressed for time as school was closed for five weeks and later, Miss Cook, our faculty advisor, was ill for three weeks, and we have had to step double quick so as to put out a yearbook at all. We hope, however, that in spite of this and other handicaps the friends and patrons will lmd the Paw Paw of 1919 a worth while record of the year's work and a val- uable souvenir. , We wish to thank O. C. Tennant, Dr- W. P. Jarvis, and Dr. K. Mc- Coy for their aid in putting out the yearbook, and we especially wish to. thank Mr. james Plummer,Weaver, former teacher in this school, but now of Washington, D. C., for his clever and original cartoons of the various classes, and also Mr. Maurice Miller, of the Fairmont Printing and Publishing Company for his excellent sugges- tions concerning the publication of the book. The literary work was carried on by Achsah McCoy, Mary Stewart, Rose Weaver, Clifton Jarvis, Fred Stewart, and Earle Wlison. The members of the board are proud of their business manager, who so efficiently collected ads, looked after the finances and typed copy. And to Miss Alice Virginia Cook we are much indebted and are very grateful for her criticisms and hne ideas. To her we owe any success this Paw Paw may have. IDA COWAN, Editor-in-Chief. one hundred fifteen Ojiceras Farewell Before Going West I-IE INCREASED cost of paper, pictures, cuts, and all materials necessary to put out a year book have placed us under a heavy financial burden and but for the generous aid of those who patronized our chicken supper, normal enter- tainment, and program given for our benefit by john Reed, the Paw Paw this year would not have been possible. As business manager of this publication the past year we wish to thank all those who have helped us through our trials and tribulations. We cannot sufficiently express our thanks to the Fairmont Printing and Publish- ing Company for their splendid help and for the courtesy they extended to us at all times. ' We are deeply indebted to Mr. Miller for his valuable suggestions concerning the arrangement of the book and they personal interest he has taken in our venture. Next, we give especial thanks to Mr. Walter E.. Johnson, of Fairmont, for the fine pictures he made for the Paw Paw. We are sure he gave them his best care and attention. We heartily thank our advertisers whose liberal contributions have helped us financially. - J.
