ees es Say SSS aS flow Pha A THE FORTRESS 1952 Volume IX Fort Ashby High School Kort Ashby. West Virginia Foreword... This school year of 1951-12 the Senior Class has planned, published and developed to the best of their ability this ninth annual yearbook, the FORTRESS, of Fort Ashby High School. In this publication we have put in words and pictures the activities of the year. It is difficult to place, in such a small space as this, all the important words needed, and we feel humble to even say we made a good start. The lives of the students during school are engraved in their minds, and books only refresh these engravings. We hope sincerely this yearbook will successfully do this. We wish to take this opportunity to express our deepest and most sincere thanks to the ad- vertisers that have made this publication a suc- cess, If it had not been for the co-operation of the entire Senior Class as well as the Underclass- men and the Faculty we would never have been able to get the proper material and guidance that are needed. The price of everything has soared and yearbooks are no exception. It has been diffi- cult raising the necessary funds but the fruit that has been produced makes up for the effort. Our special appreciation is given to Mr. Small, our Senior Advisor, who has worked diligently on the FORTRESS. We therefore wish this to be one of the best yearbooks to ever represent Fort Ashby High School and hope it meets your highest expecta- tions. Sen 3 4. Principal DB. . Daddy Dedication We, the Senior Class of ’52, dedicate this ninth annual “Fortress” to, our Senior Class Advisor and the sponsor of this year- book, Mr. Thomas Small. He has been a member of Fort Ashby’s Faculty for seven years and has, during that time, directed plays and minstrels, decorated with classes for proms and annual dances, sponsored yearbooks, coached our sports and helped raise money for other activities. We are honored to be the first group to ever dedi- cate a yearbook to him. We deeply appre- ciate the interest he has given us during our school years. ee: ae Faculty | ube Rlete a William Marker Laura Marks Helen Bldék , Ree ‘ ¢ Shepherd College, A. Bb. A. B., Salem W. V.

Class History 194041—We are meek and scared little boys and girls as we enter our schoo! life with Miss Martin as our teacher. Our enrollment included Dollie Beam, Anna Bosley, Donald Kenney, James Kenney, Glenn Mille- son, Ruth Rexrode and Harry Seeders. 19414 ’42—Our second year has brought with it some excitement. Our school has burned and we are holding classes in the high school gym- nasium. More excitement prevails when “Bunny” Martin goes down the sliding board and leaves his pants on the top. 1942-43—Third graders, and we are back in a remodeled building with Miss Bolen as our teacher. We get to take turns ringing the school bell and the cloak room has become the paddling place . Hazel Bosley joins us by skipping a grade. 1943- 44—Our fourth year has opened with a bang. Miss Harris is our teacher. We are all thrilled by performing a drill as our contribution to May Day. Joining us this year is Nina Pownall from Wiley Ford and Jack Miller from Springfield. 1944-45—Fifth graders, and we are back in the high school building to stay, with Miss Mawhinnevy as our teacher. Jack Frankland joins us from Keyser and Nina Pownell’s heart starts to flutter. All the girls are carrying big pocketbooks and wearing yarn doll babies on their sweaters. 1945-46—Mrs. Long, our sixth grade teacher, has arranged a half hour gym period and is teaching us to play basketball. Newcomers are Kay Elder and Beverley Shirley from Cumberland. When our teacher went to the office. she locked the door to make sure we would stay in. Upon returning, she found the windows open and her class gone. From our hiding places in the lockers, we heard her tell Mr. Judy we had jumped out the window. We are to be in the May Day Program again this year. 1946’47—Our class has greatly increased. Coming from Patterson’s Creek is Elizabeth Anderson, Doris Long, Richard Lyons, and Wilma Twigg. Short Gap sent us Doris Boher, Gene Ault, Lois Dayton, Bruce Bosley, and Wilda Wyer. Flora Mae Shipman has joined us from Pied- mont. Miss Swecker is our homeroom teacher. We had our first hayride last night and Beverley Shirley and Doris Long got into a fight over Donnie Kenney. Jack Frankland was promised a piece of bubble gum if he got Donnie to go with Doris. 1947-’ 48—-Mr. Keplinger is’our eighth grade homeroom teacher. Our boys were beaten one point in the finals of the District Eighth Grade Tournament by Petersburg. Don Kenney was picked as the best looking boy in the tournament. Miss Swecker took us to Washington, D. C., on the seventeenth of April. 1948- 49—We are now Freshmen and Mrs. Marks is our homeroom teacher. Keyser beat our Junior High team by one point in the Sectional Tournament. Eunice Watts has joined us from Allegany and is stealing Donnie Kenney from all the other girls. 5 1949-’50—Our Sophomore homeroom teacher is Mr. Marker. Louise Kerns is a newcomer from Romney. We will never forget the Thanksgiv- ing Program we presented. We are all going to the Apple Blossom Festi- val in Winchester, Va.. by chartered bus. __ 1950-51—This is our busiest year of school. We are now Juniors with Mrs. Herriott and Mr. Small as our advisors. Emory Shriver has joined us from Ridgeley. This year we sold beanies, started an annual dance, the “Autumn Ball,” and presented our class play, “It’s a Date.” Our.big and memorable thrill was our Prom. To carry cut the theme “Blue Moon,” we decorated the gym with 1,035 yards of cheese cloth dyed blue by the girls. 1951-’52—Our last year is fading away as is the mischievous youth of each student in our class of twenty-seven. To raise money for our year- book we sponsored two dances, the “Homecoming,” and “Miss Fortress Ball,” served a supper, raffled off a fishing rod and reel, and presented the class play, “Tattletale.” It seems almost impossible that we are finish- ing our school life and stand at the entrance to the school of hard knocks. We earnestly hope the school will remember us by our good deeds instead of our mischievous acts. Au revoir. The Senior Class of 752 Class Will We, the Senior Class of Fort Ashby High School, year of 1952, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament. To Beverlee Zimmers, Beverley Shirley presents her nickname “Dish- rag.” Richard Lyons passes his hair cuts down to Robert Bantz. Louise Kerns wills her natural blonde hair to Shelia Speelman. Lane Oakman wills his summer job to Donald Bennett. Dollie Beam wills Ruth Alt her ability to be quiet in class. Emory Shriver presents his joke-telling to Richard Baldwin. Flora Mae Shipman will pass her slightly worn books, including comics, to Barbara Dayton. Jack Miller will give his love for school to Robert Michaels. Wilma Twigg passes her calorie chart down to her sister Dorothy. Gary Cecil is given Bruce Bosley’s small build. Hazel and Anna Bosley give their sisterly love to Gae and Shirley Long. Jack Frankland passes his temper down to Robert Dayton. With the hope that he can keen it better than he did. Lois Dayton willingly gives Norma Isner her oldest and gold looking brother. Jimmy Kenney will give David Shobe his noon hour permits. Doris Bohrer will pass some cf her giggling ability to her sister Wanda. Glenn Milleson leaves his easy blush to Myron Miller. Doris Long will hand her car keys over to Marjorie Logsdon (to take the girls skating). Harry Seeders wills his ability to take the blame of everyone's pranks to John Lechliter. Eunice Watts grants her freedom of speech to Lila Lu Thompson. Donald Kenney passes his many admirers (females) to Dickie Welch. Ruth Rexrode leaves her height to Gayle Pownall. Gene Ault’s way of getting along with teachers to James Hart. We hope he doesn’t use it. Nina Pownall leaves her wistful eyes and innocent expression (when caught) to Marlene Fisher. Kay Elder will give his car to Allen Ray Singhass (for a small price of course). Elizabeth Anderson wills her tall slim figure to Darlene Evans. Class Prophecy Hello! Everyone! This is Television Station FAHS situated in the very heart of Fort Ashby, West Virginia. Tonight we are having one hour of special guest stars. Along with these stars are housewives and work- ing people in all fields. The Master of Ceremonies tonight is none other than the famous radio announcer, Donald Kenney, president of the Senior Class of ’52 from our local high school. “Good evening and thank you, sir. All of our guests tonight, like myself, are graduates of 52 from Fort Ashby High. Each will contribute some small bit of enjoyment for you listeners. We will start the show by introducing that now famous singer, Lois Dayton, giving her special rendition of “Blue Moon,” our old class tune. Our next guests are some working gals. First we will interview Miss Elizabeth Anderson, Martinsburg, a receptionist in the Newton D. Baker Hospital, who spen ds all her spare time on the Shepherdstown Campus, Next, is Wilda Wyer, working in Ohio and boarding with her brother and his family. Miss Doris Long, her assistant and sister-in-law, the former Miss Beverley Shirley, are two of the few successful businesswomen in this area. They have established a roller-skating rink and are here to show you how to master the art of the skater’s two-step. Our list now includes two boys in navy blue. We are proud to salute the Navy’s enlisted men, Emory Shriver and Gene Ault, who will give an impersonation of a day in the life of a sailor. Jackie Miller, the world’s heavy weight champion, managed to stop here for the night while enroute to Madison Square Garden. He will now demonstrate the left upper cut on his manager, Bruce Bosley, formerly known as “Muscles.” Eunice Watts, the typical housewife, is here to give a talk on “How to Please Your Husband.” She is studying music at night under the tute- lage of Mr. Boosiesaldoydebush of Chicago. A college man is now standing before me. He is none other than Rich- ard Lyons, a student of Social Behavior, attending Harvard. He has an article, “How to Please a Lady,” and will give his idea on the subject. He was quite a ladies’ man in high school. I wonder if he practices what he preaches? Here are those men that provide that fresh fruit we buy in town. Harry Seeders and James Kenney will tell you, from experience, the best time to put up scarecrows and post “No Hunting” signs and the reasons why. , I know all of you have ridden on the blue and white buses of Elder’s Transit Lines.” I am proud to present, Mr. Kay Elder, the owner, who will issue fifteen free bus tickets to the best looking single girls who promise him a date. Flora Shipman, who we consider one of the best letter writers in that field, is about to publish a book entitled, “My Personal Experience as a Letter Writer.” She will now exhibit the types of paper used in letter writing. She learned this while in business school. Ruth Rexrode and Anna Bosley have acquired the job of studio librarians, and if they talk low, bear with them while they tell some of their experiences. The B. and O had a job for Jack Frankland the day he graduated, but has just recovered from the celebration of graduation just last month, so has been working only a short while. He will try to explain how it feels to be a high school graduate. ———— The next guest of our Seniors of 52 is Miss Nina Pownall, a clothes designer for short, stout women. She is about to open her own shop and will call it “Nina’s Neat Notions for Naturall Fat Women.” She has brought along with her several of her designs and models. For her new building she has contracted Lane Oakman, a carpenter, to build it. Lane will show you his blueprints which are very original. Here is Glenn Milleson, another student at Shepherd College, who doesn’t seem to have any girl troubles. He now has a new car that is constantly packed with girls and it seems he has finally lost that nick- name of “Blushes.’’ Many of you that have called this station have heard the pleasing voice of our station telephone operator, Miss Doris Bohrer. She will tell you of the guy that has the dreamy voice over the phone. He answered when she asked, ‘Number please, that talking number will do,” so she hnug up on him. Louise Kerns, the cafeteria cashier in high school, could not get away from the habit of having a cash box handy and is now working in the A. P. Market. If anyone wishes to know about the high prices of foods just ask Louise. The next two were the best of friends during high school and now work together in Cumberland. Dollie Beam and Wilma Twigg were the quietest and most talkative of the class, Wilma doing the talking and Dollie the listening. I wish to thank each Senior fon being on my program. Oh! I almost forgot! What about our Sponsor, Small? Here he is, Ladies and Gentlemen, still teaching at Fort DSH Be High, our favorite homeroom teacher, Mr. Thomas Small. We will close the program by having another graduate of °52, Hazel Bosley, a Bible School student at the Eastern Bible Institute, lead us in a moment of prayer.” Class Poem Farewell, Fort Ashby, for life is at its morning, From daily strife of High School, We all must go away! Farewell, from daily school-day smiles and tears, To grow in wisdom as in years, And face life earnestly—and now away. Farewell, dear old school! Farewell, life’s happy mor ning; [It grieves the heart when class mates part, But we must go away. For life has duties to be done, And every day till set of sun, Must be lived loyally-—so now away. —Doris Bohrer Class Motto Class Colors Class “Scarlet and White” “ver Climbing” Class Song (Tune: “Blue Moon”) So long to ole Fort Ashby High, o all the teachers and students, We bid a cheery goodby. And though gayly we enter our future, Many memories dear we'll always hold, And the friends we've made together Will seem to us as gold. So long, though we are proud to be leav- ing, Each one is secretly grieving, Way down deep in their heart. Beverley Shirley s Flower “White Carnation” Who’s Who Mr. and Miss F. A. H. 5.

Things We'll Remember Memories, Memories How they linger in our mind, Memories, Memories Of school years left behind, We'll remember the day before the Junior Class Play last year when the girls in shorts and blue jeans scrubbed the stage. We came to school the next day with high hopes of admiring our masterpiece, but Mr. Small greeted us with a beckon to the gym. We looked over the stage floor and it looked as if we had given it a toni. The only thing was he used that ugly word “warped.” Speaking of Mr. Small we can still see him sitting on the players’ bench at the ball games. At the start of the game he would look fresh as a daisy with neatly pressed pants, a starched shirt and tie, sweater and jacket. During the last quarter of the game we can see him with tie, sweater and jacket off, shirt sleeves and pants legs rolled up, and ner- vously running his hands through his hair like a maestro. It is a good thing the ball games didn’t last much longer—‘“Poor Coach.” Will you ever forget our sophomore Thanksgiving Program? Practice went fine, but that day it turned out to be a “Howling Success.” We can’t understand why Doris Long carried her blue jeans in her suit case and wore home the black dress she wore in the play. Could it be she had the jeans rolled under the dress while acting the grandmother role? Doris was pretty tickled when she and her family tried to eat cold, burned po- tatoes and cold sauerkraut with milk. No one could eat it except Gerald Weese. When Mr. Marker, our homeroom teacher, learned what had happened to Doris during the play, he laughed so hard he almost did a repeat performance. “What kind of birds can’t fly?” Emory Shriver and Dick Twigg should know after borrowing bulbs from the Community Christmas Trees in Keyser on a night after a ball game. The hand is not quicker than the eye. Spring fever and the urge to go swimming caused the absence of Jack Miller, Lane Oakman, Kay Elder and Bruce Bosley one afternoon from school. Strange enough they were never caught. We can tell this now, but it was a deep, dark secret for a long time. Our class plays will always be remembered. This year during one of the practices, Gene Ault drove Richard Lyons, Don Kenney, and Bruce Bosley off the school house hill in Dayton’s Milk Truck. Gene tried to teach the truck a few mountain climbing tricks, but found it was no mountain goat. While the truck was rolling over, Bruce was rolling around in the back of the panel truck like an acorn. Ever since Gene has been allergic to yellow. Remember the marshmellow roast while reading page 781 in our literature books. Poor old George was cracked down during the marsh- mellow roast by Kay Elder. The song, “Blue Moon,” will always remain with us as a fond mem- ory. This song was the theme of our Prom. The gym was decorated with blue cheesecloth adorned with glittering stars. At one end of the gym was a park scene with a pond and lawn chairs, with the ole blue moon shining on high. “Blue Moon” was the tune of the Senior Class Song. The sixth grade will never be forgotten. Remember the days when the snow was deep and the boys pulled us down the hill on improvised sleds of cardboard and rope? We would ride from noon until bus time, unless. of course, we fell in the water. We had to make up this time. We still freeze in our tracks and catch our breath if we hear some one behind us say, “gir—ls.” Could it be Mr. Judy has caught up with us? ae: “oo Se The Minstrels of 195 The Minstrels of 1952 was presented February 14, 1952, by the students in the high school and sponsored by the Senior Class. Directors were Miss Helen Black and Mr. Thomas Small. The Interlocutor was Arthur Dayton and the pianist was Marilyn McCoy. Specialties included Harry Bosley, Myron Miller, Wayne Bohrer, Junior Umstott, Harold Haines, Vaughn Alt. Sarah Clark, Robert Bantz, Darwin Alt, and Robert Foster. A girls’ quartet was composed of Patricia Deremer, Geraldine Dowden, Norma Ship- man, and Mary Jo Wolford. The male quartet was Rob ert Bantz, Robert Kenney, Robert Foster and Darwin Alt. The chorus was composed of boys and girls from the ninth to the eleventh grade. Shirley Adams, Maxine Beckham, Imogene Hershberger, Mary Jane Riley, Janice Baabroe's and Delores Price presented a special dance number directed by Mrs. Robert . Brown. The Fussy Old Maids from Lynn were Carol Shanholtz, Patty Rosskamp, and Lor- etta McTaggart. Snap-Shots Senior High Basketball Season This year the Eagles played under our new coach, Mr. Earle Hess. Pre-season drills found thirty boys working and hoping for a position on this year’s squad. As time for the first game approached, the squad was cut to fifteen boys. These boys formed the nucleus of our Varsity and Jayvees. This season the Eagles competed in two leagues, the Potomac Valley Conference and the newly formed Mineral County League. Also added this year was one hour of practice time during school which proved a great help in getting more boys out for the team. The close of the season found the Eagles with a record of nine wins and thirteen losses, which included two sectional tournament games plus the regular twenty game season. The Eagles Mineral County record was three wins and five losses. The Potomac Valley Conference record was five wins and eight losses. The season record does not show the caliber of ball played by the Eagles. The Eagles plaved hard and determined ball in every game and were always in the thick of it until the final whistle. This can be proven by the points scored per season. While winning nine and losing thirteen games, the Eagles outscored their opponents 989 to 952. Scoring honors this year went to Jack Frankland with 223 points which gave him a 10.1 average per game. Jack received the additional honor of being placed on the All-Sectional Tournament team. Jack, along with the Eagles’ stellar guard Gene Ault, received honorable mention on the All-P. V. C. team. The best foul shooting average this year was at- tained by Emory Moe” Shriver who hit 23 out of 43 for a .535 percentage. The Jayvees’ record for the season was six wins and five losses. These boys show a lot of promise for next year as three of these losses were by one and two points. At tournament time, the Eagles showed their class by defeating Rom- ney High 53-40 in the first round of play. Hopes were high for a tourna- ment winner after winning this game, but the Eagles fell prey to the Piedmont Lions in the semi-finals by a score of 46-33. This game was a veal battle with the Eagles on top at half-time 22-21. With the score tied 28-28 midway in the third period, the Eagles lost the service of Kay elder and they never quite recovered. The Lions went on to win by a mar- gin of 13 points.

The number of games played this year by the Junior High was limited due to the playing of the Jayvees in the preliminaries. Playing for the first time as a team they were victorious in three games out of seven. Many of the boys were ner- vous in their first few games but showed promise at the close of the season. Coach Hess will re- ceive a lot of help on the Eagles next year with the addition of “Buddy” Haines and “Artie” Dayton from jhis year’s Junior High.
