§ (0) P EI (Q) M (0) 1E Whs ever a school so blessed by flu? entrance of oik hundred and thirty verdant, inquiring and awe-stricken “ Fresh ics as was tin Fairmont High School in September. HHtlt? We entered with many misgivings concerning tin treatment we were likely to receive from the faeeulty and U|i|K r elasKtnen. Hut as we were ushered from room lo nsuii and shown the Library and Study Hall by a mighty Senior, and when we lieheld the benevolent smile of Mr. Me lice, our feats were thrust to the background and we readily regained our lost composure. We all feel very proud of the fact that our class was the first to organize in its Freshman year. Farly in the fall of 11)051 we held our first class meeting and elected for our officers for two years the following: President—Harold Hutchinson. Vice-President—Dalton Simon. Secretary—Anna Brennen. Treasurer- -Susan Arnett. We were very sorry that in the spring we were not per- mitted to carry out the “original idea” of entertaining the “Freshmen to be,” which was originated by the class of 12. By the time we reached our Sophomore year, we are sorry to say. our number had decreased considerably, but nevertheless we were not disheartened, as was shown by our ability to choose such an efficient Sponsor so early in our i-iirtM-i —Mr. ». M. Alexander. President of the Board of (Education and Sponsor of the (’lass of 13 We hope that by the time we leave the High School he will feel as promi of us as we all do off our name. The first social event of our Sophomore year was the “Annual (’lass Picnic. It was held in the lieautiful grounds of Barnes Harrs camp and was greatly enjoyed by the class. The trip up and down the river on the barge was very pleasing to all. The faculty thought it best to have the picnic last fall to “avoid the rush this spring.” We all think it would Is a good idea to have the picnic now, in order that we may have all next fall for our studies t ?). as our class is under obligations to two classes and on ac- count of -ways and means” we cannot entertain them both, we decided to give honor to whom honor is due and invite the Seniors to our “May Party.” Because we had elected our first set of officers for two Years and the Sophomore year was about over, we held a class meeting and elected our officers, who will Is install- ed at the “May Party. ’ The newly elected officers are: President Paul Hawkins. Y ice-President—Robert Henry. Secretary Nellie Prichard. Treasurer—Alma McKeever. We feel that our most important work will be next year when we have the publication of “Maple Leaves.” This as our predecessors luive told us is no “play work. But xie are determined to tight to the end and come out successful. HISTORIAN 13.

September 12, 11H0. will stand out as one of the moat important dates in tin lives of our illustrious ?) claim , for on that date we entered tlu High School. Our class was one of the largest that ever entered this school. It was at first composed of about one hundred and fifty of the wit- tiest. wisest and most industrious boys and girls that ever attended school: but through no fault of their own a few of this “happy bunch ’ have lacen coni|»elled to drop out and take up other lines of work. Early in tin term we held our first class meeting and chose the following worthy and capable officers: President. Beatrice Hall; vice president, Edna Hamilton; secretary, George Hough, and treasurer. Paul Fleming. We do not think it necessary to go into details and de- lass History scrilte the great progress made by this class, and liesides we do not wish to arouse the jealousy of the Sophies.” It is with regret we close this, our tirst year and enter into the mysteries of tin Sophomore year, but we sincerely Iiojm that we also will not grow so arrogant and thoughtless as to treat those who follow 11s next year with the contempt and disdain that we. as green Presides, have received this year; though it is a great comfort to us to know that we have stood the taunts and jeers with unending patience, and that our efforts have met with full reward. As our class has ln en so large and we have had to build a strong basis on which to work for the next three years, we have not been able to do much which seems of very great im- portance yet. but we assure you that sometime you will hear of this class doing something very great because we shall not always be ‘‘green.” timid Presides. —Historian. 1014.
