HISTORY The Till day of Septemlicr was made memorable, when we. the class of nineteen huudri d and thirteen, entered the High Sehool. We are not only a remarkable class on ac- count of our size, as we are composed of about one hundred and thirty members, but also because we are all such caper, studious and industrious boys and girls. Of course, when I say that we are studious I do not mean that we are not lively, frisky Freshies. I mean that we are capable of work as well as play. About two weeks after school started we held our first class meeting in the study hall, which was a very interesting affair, as all first meetings are. At this meeting we organ- ized our chiss. and chose for our officers those whom we thought would la most capable of holding office successfully for tin four years. We chose for our president. Harold Hutchinson: vice president. Dalton Simon: secretary, Anna Hrennen. and treasurer, Susan Arnett. In the short time we have been in the High School we have become accustomed to the treatment we are subjected to by the upper classmen. We know that the reason they treat us Fresh ies so badly is because they are jealous of our su| erior ability ( ?i and of the interest the teachers have taken in us. It is difficult to write our history for this year, because we have had to build a kind of platform, on which to stand during tin remaining three years. We have all studied hard, but you could not expect anything really remarkable yet. Hut we promise that at some future time you will hear something really wonderful from the class, which entered the High School as green, scared Fresh ies in nineteen hun- dred and nine. —Historian, 1913.

ALUMNI There ran In no greater aid to the good standing of any school than the successful career reflected upon it by its eminent sons and daughters. The Alumni of tin Fairmont High School have made fur themselves a reputation which is perhaps unsurpassed by any other High School Alumni in the State. Almost every class has produced some persons of promise in the country and State. Among the Alumni who particularly have made a suc- cess in the educational line are Mary Black. Virginia Pride. Eva Brand, Sarah Meredith. Amy Eliason, Emma Parks and Carter Faust. While these Alumni belong to the earlier classes, present indications show that many of tin graduates from the later classes will follow the example already set. Quite (Mjual to these in the teaching profession are those represented in the business profession, of whom some are Messrs. Frank Hall. Matt Brownfield. Glen Fleming. Henri McElfresh. Arch Brownfield. Walter Boydaton, Earl Morris, Philip Pitzer. Clyde Neil and many others. In recent years the High School has been unusually liencfited by the reputation of its graduates in the higher schools. At Cornell University. University of Virginia, West Virginia University and Ohio State University many of the High School Alumni have lieen successful. Among those who have made possible this record for their home school are Earl Morgan. Arthur Brobst, Aubrey Meredith. Chesney Kaiungc. Oliver Shurtleft . Wirt Faust, French McCray. Will Xuziini, Edwin Brooks, Clara Keinheiiner, Alberta Kainage. Lenora Braliin. Cilda Smith and Nell Cox. Not only at home but also abroad has the Fairmont High School been well represented as shown in the achieve- ments of Leigh Layman and Virginia Pride. Mr. Layman in Japan and Miss Pride in Africa. Such a showing as theirs may well be emulated by the coming Alumni. The future outlook of the Alumni is gratifying, for their number is being yearly increased by young men and women that follow the beautiful example already so excel- lently set. Summing up the above facts it seems that the future of our beloved school is one of progress, and that it shall stand in the future firm and strong as it has stood in the past, and our earnest hope for it is that it shall ever be proud of its sons and daughters.
