Greeting ' . o?o Greetings! Kind friends both far and near Who love the school to us so dear, Once more we come and bring to you Our noblest efforts good and true. Though we ' ve not aimed at classic grace That made the Greeks a cultured race; Nor tried to soar in heights above That we might sing of peace and love, We ' ve labored of those things to tell, Which make the hearts with music swell; And which as future years draw nigh Will bring sweet memories of days gone by. If in some distant, future time, These pages to you bring joy sublime We hope that you will kindly try. To Pass our imperfections by. For this from errors is not wholly freed If so ' twould lonely be, indeed, And in this volume we present you now; We ' ve done the best that we know how; And hope that you in future days Will give to us our well-earned praise. — Editors.

At the point where the town is situated the plateau averages in width one mile, and is so level that it is considered one of the most desirable locations in the State for a city.

When Mr. Reeder came here he was very agreeably surprised to find so beautiful a valley so near the mountains, and so well populated by energetic people. In almost every letter he wrote to his employer he poured forth his enthusiasm in prai se of the kindliness of the settlers, the purity of the mountain water, and the abundance of material conditions necessary and important to the building of a town. He was always impressed with the hills which bordered the town and made a most unique and artistic background. He acquainted himself with the pioneer history of the place, learned about the location of Bush ' s Fort in 1780, and its wonderful usefulness in preserving the pioneer settlers oftimes from perpetual annihilation. The thrilling incidents, and eccentric life of William White who was killed by the Indians at or near the old ford below the town of Buckhannon about the year 1795, and whose grave, in the Heavner Cemetery, is still marked with a rough headstone bearing his name and date of death, were also interesting historical information to him. All these things tended to increase his interest for the new town. The services of Jacob Lorentz, John Jackson, and Joel Westfall, the
