Nuzum was born in a cottage near Fairmont, which «till stands ai what is now 322 Iiocust avenue, Fifth ward, Fairmont. Ilis father died when Mr. Nuzum was eleven years of age, and at sixteen years his educa- tion was cut short and he entered the coal mines to help support his widowed mother and fam- ily. A little later he left coal mining to learn tin trade of cabinet making with his uncle, the late Joseph Nuzum, who conducted a large furniture factory on the site of the present Grand Opera House. Being a musician of some note, at lit years of age, for three seasons he toured a large part of the I'nited States as musician in a circus band. He returned home to work at his trade of cabinet maker, and in June, 1887, he started in the furniture business at 111� Main street as “Sam R. Nuzum, the Furniture King.” Mr. Nuzum had the distinction of being the first man to succeed in any business in Fairmont west of Monroe street, and also the first man to make a success of the furniture business in Fairmont. In 18112 he became a director of the Fairmont Development Company, which developed what is now the Fourth ward of the City of Fairmont, and sold a great part of the real estate of th Development Company, and became “The” Real Estate Man of Fairmont. On account of great real estate interests he retired in 1900 from the furniture business, since which time he has devoted his entire time to the development of the town and his real estate interests. Although his school education was cut short at an early age, Mr. Nuzum by later study, travel and practical experience is a thoroughly well informed man and a great believer iu and supporter of the public schools, ilis influence aided in the location of the Fifth ward sehool. the present new High School and the Second ward school now being built. He has visited every State and Territory in tin United States, as well as parts of Canada, Mexico, West Indies, Panama and other Central American countries. Mr. Nuzum has been an active member in several Fraternal Orders, being a Past Grand Master of the Ancient .Order I'nited Workmen of the I’nited States and Canada, and has been Supreme Representative at various meetings of tin Supreme l odge. from Montreal. Canada, to Portland, Ore. At present he is Grand Vice Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of West Virginia. He has been closely allied with every civic movement for the betterment and develop- ment of Fairmont. He is president of the Home Savings Bank. Nuzum Realty Security Co . Marsh Coal Coke Co., and a director and actively interested in other large business interests in Fairmont and vicinity. He has been appealed to repeatedly to become identified with the governmental «Hairs of the eitv. but lias successfully resisted these appeals until this year, when his ward elected him to the City Council by an almost unanimous vote. 4 JOSEPH R08IER Superintendent of Schools Joseph Rosier Joseph Rosier, superintendent of tin Fairmont public schools, was born near W i Ison burg, in Harrison county.

II. S. they were suddenly halted in front of d Imire wall. A heavy pate opened, out of which stepped a white bearded man wearing a dark robe across which was written the word “Experience.” He said: “This, () Senior class of Fairmont High School, is the gate to the world: I am ‘Experience' and before you can enter here you must give an account of your career in this worthy institution.” Then one of our number stepped forth ami handed him a large scroll which he slowly unrolled ami from which he read the following account: “The Freshman year was taken up in establishing our- selves in this new school and in adjusting ourselves to new sur- roundings. The class was filled with an earnest desire to learn. In order to satisfy this desire it was considered necessary to make some great changes in the regulations of the school so an afternoon session was added. “In our second year another change was made for our benefit: domestic science was introduced. In the fall of ’10 we FLOSSIE lfcCULLOUOH SIDNEY SAPPER R HI TORY had our first picnic down the river. Having proved ourselves capable of an undertaking of this kind, we gave a ‘May party’ to the Senior class of 1911, an event long remembered both by that class and by tin- present Senior class, as one of the most enjoyable affairs in the social history of F. II. S. We also de veloped wonderfully this year in art. Every one seemed filled with a desire to beautify the exterior of our dear old school. An example of these artistic efforts can be found still on the front walk of our school. This year we named our class and from this time we have been known as the ‘Hcorge M. Alexan der Class. ’ “Having reached our Junior year and having won the ap- proval of the faculty, we began our work on ‘Maple Leaves.’ This book was the best volume ever published of that widely known book. Other events brought about by the untiring ef- forts of the class of ’13 were the W. J. (ilee Club Concert ami ‘Dialogues from Dickens.’ “The grand climax of our High School career was finally readied when we entered as Seniors. The first of the year was marked by great show of class spirit and not until we mourn- fully watched from the library windows the felling: of that grand old oak which had horne our banner, did these efforts cease. ‘The Instantaneous Concert.’ the dinner to several men interested in the High School, the High School Tea and the ( ar- negic Technical Concert are other great successes which we must not neglect to mention. All these things ami numerous others which space and modesty prevent us from relating we submit for our recommendation The gray-bearded man returned the scroll smiling a wel- come, then opened wide the gate, saying: “Enter most worthy class of 1913.” SOCIAL SYNOPSIS OF SENIOR YEAR Section A of the Senior Domestic Science class entertained at dinner. Thursday evening. January 23. at six o clock, in the dining room of the school. A color scheme of pink and white was effectively carried out. The center piece was a large bunch of pink roses, ami the electric lights were covered by pretty shades, made by members of the class. On the carefully ar- ranged table were pink shaded candles, ami tin decorations were made complete by the place-cards, which had been painted especially for the occasion by two members of the class. A very tempting menu was prepared and served by the girls under Miss Dean’s supervision. The menu was: Cream of tomato woup Wafeni Stcwnl chicken Gravy Mashed potatoes Pea- in timhle ease Baca Hoped oyster Salted almond Bakin powder biscuit Waldorf wind Cheese straws Coffee Charlotte Russe Mints Covers were laid for Messrs.

Friday, November 8th, 1912 The Senior Class gave a novel entertainment for the Fresh- men as an initiation into the High School. It was in the form of school with teachers (just Seniors, dear reader). in different rooms and gongs with change of classes, which is fas you prob- ably know), one of the greatest differences between grade school and high school. Besides the science. Latin, music and other similar rooms, there was a room labeled ‘.‘Chapel” with Mr. Hosier (!) speaking, and a singer ami speaker, a “ Farewell to Childishness.” an “Entrance Examination” room, a “ Hides. ” an “Anticipation.” while the last but not least de- partment was “Joys,” or in other words, refreshment room. Monday, February 3d. 1913 A rather unique kind of entertainment or show was given l,v the Senior Class which was called an “ Instantaneous Con- cert.” To clear up all doubt as to the name (for you must know, dear reader, that there are those who actually accuse the class of planning this ” Instantaneous Concert” for almost a year). I will say that we did plan for almost that length of time for something, but what we gave was entirely different from anything we had planned and was given in less than a week from the time it was thought of. It was divided into two parts, the first being given only by boys, who gave jokes and songs; the second half was a short play in two acts, “Little Women.” The crowd was small on account of the had weather. Wednesday. March 19th. 1913 The Musical Clubs from the Carnegie Technical College in Pittsburgh, composed of the Glee Clubs and Mandolins and Guitars, were here under the auspices of the Senior Class. The music was excellent, and showed good training. Mrs. ( . L. Heed gave a reception after the concert for the hoys, the class and the faculty. Section Two of the Domestic Science Class entertained on Thursday. February 6th, 1913, the executive officere of the Woman’s Club at a one o’clock luncheon. The dining room was daintily decorated, a color scheme of pink and green being carried out. Covers were laid for sixteen and dainty sweet-pea place cards were used. The following menu was served: Grape Fruit Cocktail I {-Million Wafers Olive Almonds Chicken u la creme In llmble case French potatoes Early June m nm Tomato Surprise Parker House rolls Coffee Charlotte Russc Mint With the aid of Miss Dean the luncheon was quite a success.

Then the world was created with all its classes; and the world was void and without form; and petty kings ruled the land and all was strife and shallowness. Then lo, from out the unknown appeared a shining light; likened unto the jewel of wisdom and organization; and the spirit of '14 moved across the shallows. And said, ”J � t us make a class, a darling class after oili- own image and after our own likeness, that the spirit of ’14 may be glorified in the world.” And it was so. In those days was McBee king over all the world, and Beatrice was princess in ’14. And there was a great feast in the land and all was joy and happiness. And the class waxed and grew mighty: and the spirit of ’14 was great in the eyes of all men. And in the fifth mouth on the fourth day of the month, ’14 looked upon all its work which it had created and saw that it was good. EXODUS And it came to pass after many days that the King spake unto ’14 saying, “Assemble ye one and all that ye may name yourselves.” And it was so. And behold they came forth as the («rester Light, bearing the name of Sam K. Nuzum,” a man who in the darkest hours of servitude revived the mighty spirit in '14. And they wen- glad. And it came to pass in the progress of time, that there was a great restlessness in ’14. And they said. ‘‘Let us go forth into a new land, that we may form a new state, which shall be for the glorification of our name.” And it was so. CHRONICLES Now was Paul prince in ’14 but his wise and faithful rule was short-lived. And with much regret his people learned of hi� departure from ’14. And now there rose up a new ruler in ’14 which i� Harry. And great he i� and noble. And he said unto his people, “Let us assemble and reor- na nize.’’ And it was (food. And many and mighty were the men who served ‘14 faith- fully. And a County Fair did they have in ‘14 and all ’13 came forth to ace it. And 14 was tempted by giants which were then in the land. And these are the fallen class of ‘13. A banner did they erect. And the mighty men in ‘14 rose up and each cried unto his neighbor: “Shall we let this thing be! To arms, oh T4!” And from the four corners of the world did ‘14 gather her warrior� . JUNIOR JUNIOR TOAST Here’s to the merry Juniors, The class that’s growing in fame May they live long and prosper And each have an honorable name. —E. 0. C. CONCERT On the evening of the 15th of February the Mendelssohn Trio gave a delightful concert in the High School auditorium under the auspices of the Junior Class, it was enjoyed by an appreciative audience. The trio consisted of a pianist, a vio linist and a cellist. They were assisted by a vocalist who sang a number of delightful songs. A JUNIOR BANQUET A delightful banquet, given by the members of the Junior cooking class, in the Domestic Science Department of the High School, was thoroughly enjoyed by the class sponsor, Mr. Sam K. Nuzura, Mr. Rosier. Mr. McBee, the class teachers. Miss Neel, Miss Henderson and Mr. Faust, and a number of the members And they came forth in shining armor and were victorious over T3. And the great form of T4 spread over all the world. And their own emblem did '14 place as a token of their victory. And McBce. king over all the world, cried out, “Cease ye this strife. And it was so. And again peace and happiness ruled the universe. And the great “Mendelssohn Trio did '14 bring into the land, and a play did they give, that they might open the eyes of the world to their everlasting greatness, to new truths and to greater understanding. And all these events were written down by Wayne the Scribe, which will be read in tbe days to come, in the (ireat Book of T4—a wonderful book unlike all others, a book of many strange and curious devices. —Historian, T4. EVENT of the Junior ('lass. A color scheme of violet and yellow was quite skillfully carijed out. with violets and yellow candles. The candles were shaded with shades of violet and yellow’, which were made by the girls of the class. The electric lights were also covered with the same kind of shades. Tin table was beautifully de- corated and the following menu of four courses was prepared and served by the girls, under the efficient direction of Miss Dean: Fruit cocktail Creamed chicken in timbal cases Sweet potatoes French peas Parker House rolls Asparagus salad French ice cream Coffee Butter Wafers Macaroons After dinner mints At the conclusion of the dinner, with Mr. Faust acting as toastmaster, the following persons responded to toasts: Esther Hensel—“The F. II. S. After the Juniors Have Left It.” Ethel Heintzelman—“Maple Leaves.” Jaye Satterfield—“The Junior Activities in the High School.” Harry Carpenter “The Spirit of Iroyalty Among the Juniors.” John Windsor “The Future of the S. R. N. Class.” Robert Tuttle—“A Junior Boy’s Impression of the Do- mestic Science Department.” After the dinner had been served and the toasts given, all retired to the parlor, where every one enjoyed an exceedingly pleasant evening. THE PRINCESS This year's Junior entertainment promises to be something out of the ordinary. A dramatization of Tennyson’s “Prin- cess” will be presented by a large number of Juniors, including ten leading characters. The management was placed in the hands of Miss Neel, one of the Junior class teachers. Ample time has been allowed to make the play full of life, and to prepare the costumes and scenery. The poem was written in 1847, when the question of Women’s Rights was being agitated in England. The poet’s ideas came from this source. In this respect, the play is an entirely up-to-date one.

At the conclusion of the dinner short toasts were given by several of the teachers and also by Mr. Xu .um, who complimented the class highly on their ability to prepare ami serve a dinner in the manner in which it was done. MR. NUZUMS TALK One of the most enjoyable events our class had this year was a talk given us by our class sponsor. Mr. Sam K. Xu .um. Mr. Xuzum had recently returned from a trip to the Panama (’anal and other points in the South, lie told us many interest- ing things about the places he visited. COUNTY FAIR The Juniors entertained the Seniors with a County Fair on November 10th. When the guests arrived they were each given n sack of beans with which to buy tickets to the shows and to pay for refreshments. Then they were ushered into the audi- torium where a short musical program was given. Later Mr. Xnxum spoke to the Juniors and their guests. After this th • Juniors sang their class song, at the conclusion of which the band marched out of the auditorium, followed by the guests, who then visited the side-shows in the class rooms on the first tioor. These stands included a photograph gallery, a wonder- ful gypsy fortune teller, the wild man of Borneo, an exhibit of some of the most curious curiosities ever before exhibited, the fattest woman in the world, a beautiful snake charmer, who had many deadly poisonous pets: the only aud original Siamese Twins, who rumor had told us were dead, and a rou- lette wheel that attracted all the beans of the Senior boys. The shows were splendidly advertised by a number of “barkers,” well equipped with superlatives and lung power. After seeing these sigiits every one went to the dining room, which was decorated in 1914 s class colors. Refreshments lemonade, popcorn balls, sandwiches, pickles, candy and peanuts were sold for the consideration of four beaus. A JUNIOR CLASS SONO I. Hip Hurry. Hip Hurry.

OPHOMORE EVENTS When the claw� of 1915 had first assembled after the open ing of school, it was found although we had left a few behind us, those of the main guard were still with us. and that most or our old friends of all shapes, sizes and degrees of learning, were present. For a few mouths events continued their even course, the class steadily gaining prestige and glory in proportion to its as yet undeveloped greatness. About the middle of December a very successful Poverty Party was held by the Sophomore Class. The refreshments were ginger-bread, doughnuts, apples, cake, and last but not least, about twenty gallons of cider. Despite a very strong suffragist movement and an even stronger “anti-” reaction, the class, with a happy and har- monious unity, elected Judge K. F. Morgan, the distinguished jurist, for sponsor. Our basket hall team was the “best of the best.” At the end of the season we had won all the games we had played with other class learns, the number being four. Our nearest compe- tition being the Seniors. Although the pennant was not awarded on account of the close of the season preventing the final games, the chanquonship is generally acknowledged to be ours. A call for class track and baseball teams was issued and they are now very well organized in fine shape. On the whole the year has been exceedingly good for the class of ’15. SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY We are now Sophomores! A year ago we were Freshmen, but now we look back sometimes with contempt for our foolish- ness, and again with longing for the good times we had then. For although we were unmercifully snubbed by upper class- men we really did not realize it, but considered it quite proper for them to do so. Of course our class officers for two years were elected when we were Freshmen and they are retained. A great part of our most precious time is used in wonder- ing whether we. as Freshmen, did as queer things as the Fresh- men of this year do, and devoutly hoping we did not. Then, too, we had our Poverty Party, a very laughable affair. How we laughed at the ridiculous costumes and how we enjoyed the “eats.” which were “simply grand.” Our class sponsor, Mr. E. F Morgan, was chosen February 10. Next year we will be Juniors, and what fun and what work it will be to prepare the “Maple Leaves,” which we wish to do well, of course. —M. E. L, Historian 1915.

FRE HMEN CLASS HI TORY On September 16, 1912, Old Sol rose early ami drove his chariot across the sky with more speed than ever before, be- cause he knew, as everyone else knew, and all the coming gen- erations will know, that upon this morning, the most remark- able class that had ever wandered into the halls of Fairmont High School, made their debut. Quickly we adjusted ourselves to the regulations and cus- toms of the school, and found ourselves grouped in classes with a number of the members of the upper classes. What we did not already know, these members and teachers soon taught us. During this year we have held a few class meetings and elected our officers. Already the older students recognize us as the best looking class in High School, and we shall soon prove that we are the most brilliant. —E. E. D., ’16. AFTERNOON TEAS The girls of each first year class in Domestic Science gave an afternoon tea for their parents and the faculty. The guests were received in a very courteous way. A delightful socia! hour was passed and delicious refreshments, which had been prepared by the girls, were served. The girls demonstrated their ability by the delightful manner in which they served the tea. Every one present was delighted with the great success of the teas. .

Helen Alford ( Jaye Satterfield ] Beatrice Hall ) • Joke Editors Sterling Rigg...................................Athletics Editor The members of the “Maple I.icaves” staff express their sincere gratitude and appreciation to all who have aided them in the preparation of this hook. They wish especially to thank the business men of Fairmont, without whose help it would have been difficult to publish the “Maple Leaves.’ They thank the Junior class teachers, and the students who have contributed to the book, for their valuable assistance. The business manager deserves special mention for his faithful ami untiring work. On Arbor Day of 1908 the “K. M. Showalter Class” of the Fairmont High School set out a maple tree on the school cam- pus. The next spring that class decided to publish a year- book. When the problem of naming their book presented itself the class wanted a name that was symbolic of their tree set out the previous autumn. So after considering several titles they finally chose the present one—“Maple Leaves.” The editorial staff for the first “Maple Leaves” was as follows: Editor-in-chief—Paul Moran. Business Manager—A. Frank Pritchard. Associate Editors -Roberta Fleming, l ouise Nichols, Katherine Russell. Xelle Manley and (ieorge DeBolt. Each succeeding Junior Class has followed the precedent set by the “Showalter Class” and published a year-hook which they have called “Maple Leaves.” The “Sam R. Nuzum” class recognizes itself indebted to the “Showalter” class for suggestions handed down to them from the first edition of the book—suggestions which the present class found difficult to improve upon. The chapel programs of this year have been a decided im- provement over those of previous years. Formerly they were held the period before noon—just when every one was ex- hausted from the morning’s work, and when the students as- sembled in the auditorium they never knew whether there would be chapel or not. This year a more definite arrange- ment has been followed. At the beginning of the school term a schedule was made out. According to it each teacher was assigned a special day on which to conduct the program. A number of distinguished people have visited us this year. Mr. Brooks, the “bird-man” of West Virginia, gave an interesting talk about bird-life in West Virginia. Dr. Hodges, of the West Virginia University, talked to us on “The Influence of College on Morals.” ___________________________________ Mr. P. C. McBee. who has been principal of the Fairmont High School for the past four years, has proved himself in even- way the most efficient principal the school has ever had. The school has steadily progressed under his intelligent guid- ance. Many modem features have been added to the High School since he first took charge. These innovations have brought us into the front rank of West Virginia high schools. The Domestic Science, the Domestic Art and the Manual Train- ing departments have been established in the last three years. LITERATURE cr-zr— - - STORIES ‘The Old Oak Tree”..................Mildred W. Myers, T4 “The Terror of the Pit”...................Jlershel Hill, T4 “The First Violin”....................Leah Ruth Posten, ’14 “The Story of the Oak” (a poem) Lewis J. Carskadon, T4 THE OLD THE OLD Years and years ago there were two little hoys climbing a hill and as they came near an old oak tree they saw many acorns lying on the ground. They began throwing the seeds down the hill and the older boy said, “Let's each throw an «corn and see which one grows.” So they threw them and the younger boy cried, “See! the one I threw went into the run, but the one you threw is lying still on the side of the hill,” ami they both walked away forgetting about their play. The earth seemed so soft where the acorn was that the seed clung to it and began to grow. There were many other small trees trying to live but they were nearly all trodden on or eaten by some animals. The acorn, however, happened to live and grow into a small tree and as it rose from the earth it seemed to hear: “Have no fear, little tree, you will be some good to the world some time.” And with this message in mind the tree kept on growing. OAK TREE OAK TREE As the years rolled on, the tree became larger and more beautiful, but one day some men came and began to build a beautiful building which was to be a school. Almost all of the trees were cut down but the oak tree was left standing in its tall beautiful way. By and by the building was completed and boys and girls would often during the day come out on the campus and admire the tree, saying, “Ah, this is a fine big tree It will just serve our purpose.” The tree seemed to hear what they said for it would proudly swing its brances to and fro, as if to say. “Thank you!” Then every year the tree smiled on the people as they came to school, and as the Spring came and brought gladness with it so the tree grew in strength. One night as the tree stood with its branches still and calm several boys came up to it and finally one began to climb. He was not merely climbing with his shoes on, however, for he had spikes on and every step he took cut THE OLD OAK TREE - - (Continued) the tree to the heart. “Ah, Mother Karth, is this the good i ain to lo! Is my strength and beauty to be treated thus.’ sadly nodded the tree, but it received no answer except the moanintrs of the wind, which seemed to say. “Wait! ’ On climbed the boy and after he got in the top he nailed something: large and heavy and tin nails ran into the bark. When day light came the tree heard many people say, “1909—That’s the Class.” “So this is what I have grown for to represent tin class of 1909. Well, since this is my duty I shall stand and oik of these years there will be a class that I shall be glad to repre sent. ’ sadly spoke the tree, and for three successive years it bore the banner of different classes. But the sad part was this. Every time a banner was put up. the tree lost some of its life and it whispered to the trees near it. “1 fear I shall not live to fulfill my promise but I shall stand until it is accomplished.” But the tree was not to be disappointed, for in 1911 there was born in the school a class called the “Sam R Nuzum Class of 1914.” Fortune had smiled on this class and all the other classes were amazed at the wonders it accomplished. When it came its turn to put up the banner they hesitated and said. “This tree has had enough hardships, we shall not put another nail into it.” And as they walked away the tree tried to stretch out its old stiff branches and say, “Come children, it is you I have waited for.” That night the boys changed their minds and up on the highest limb they put their banner in all reverence to the old tree, and lo! when “1914” showed among the half-dead branches the tree began to have life and for a few hours it looked green and young again. When morning came and the students saw the banner, the old tree whispered, “I have done my duty and represented the best class ever created and now I am ready to die.” Silently two men came forth and cut the tree ami it stood no more and the south wind blew gently over it and all was still. THE TERROR The coal mine, to many, is a place of terrors. Men may learn to love the sea, eevn though they fear it; in the mine, the one feeling that grows upon its workers—beyond the hate of work—is terror. Paul Depetros laughed at the thought. He was an Italian machine operator who feared no danger which a mine presents. Often, while at work, a lump of slate would fall from the roof, grazing his head or tearing the back of his shirt, and with an oath, he would proceed with his work, soon forgetting the incident. It was not often that he took the due precaution that other miners did in examining the roof .of his room each morning on entering to find whether it were safe for them to work under. Consolidation No. 50 was a gaseous mine, and the most dangerous one owned by the Consolidation Coal Company. Day by day the fire boss, testing the safety of the mine, put boards across sectious of the workings where the gas had be- OF THE PIT come too dense for safety, and every miner was warned against the peril. Every machine operator has a helper to assist him in mov ing his machine and scraping away the fine coal that the chain- bit throws behind it like a ground-hog. Because Paul was so reckless he had always found it hard to keep a helper, or a •‘buddy,” as the miners use the term. At the time of this in- cident Paul's buddy was a Turk whose American name was Charley Andrews. The work of a machine operator and his helper is to under-cut the room coal so that it may he more easily blasted down by the loaders who follow after the ma- chine. On this particular morning Paul and his buddy entered the pit about four thirty o’clock. Going to their machine they threw aside their coats and dinner pails, set their safety lamps on the tloor, and barred their machine inch by inch close to the THE TERROR OF THE PIT - - Continued face of the coal. After the machine was in place it was con- nected with the electric machine wire and they were ready for business. Moving the switch the current shot into the motor and the machine was in action. The chain bits buzzed and whirred as they ate into the coal. Paul stood with his hand on the switch, watching the action of his machine. Before him, his buddy, bending close to the Hoor, scraped away the tine coal which the chain threw behind it. The bits had scarce- ly gone two feet into the coal when they struck the Hint-like hardness of a sulphur hall: the machine gogged and stuck ; Paul grabbed an irou bar with which to free the bits t'ronj the sul- phur-ball by moving the machine back a little from the coal When this was done he threw the bar to the Hoor, accompanied by a vile oath, and was in the act of again shooting the current into the motors when the killing thunders of a calamity came to their ears, and several tons of slate came thudding and clat- tering down at the entrance of their room and then all was deep stillness. The iron bar had hit his safety lamp, and breaking the globe, this exposed the lamp’s Hame to the gas in the room, causing the explosion. It was several minutes before Paul regained consciousness. Nothing could he see but sheer dark ness. He called for Charley but received no answer, lie soon realized that an explosion had occurred, lie could not get a good breath. He arose to his knees and listened. Kvery thing was so still he could hear the steady beat of his heart. An agony seized upon him. He leaped to his feet and ran three steps and smashed against a rib, and again fell to the Hoor. leaping to his feet again he ran the other way; the machine, lying at the face, tripped him and he fell to the Hour again. Half-stunned, he scrambled to his feet and ran about, beating the walls and crying out for help until his energy was ex- hausted. As he lay on the Hoor he accidently put his hand upon a safety lamp. It was the one which had not been broken, and when he snapped the key, the wick blazed. By the dim light he saw Charley lying toward the entrance and again scrambling to his feet he walked over to him. lie was dead liaising his head he saw in the entrance a gray shadow, a wall of fallen rock, blocking the entry. Walking over to it he saw that no one man could move it. As he turned his head his eyes fell upon the compressed air pipe, lie started at it for a mo- ment as though he were in deep thought, then whirling he went to where the wrench lay, and picking it up rail back to the pipe. He immediately began to unscrew the valve. As it came open, with it came the ninety pound pressure of air, and falling upon his breast before it he filled his lungs to their depths. • • • • • It was not until two o’clock of the next day that the pit- boss and a crew of men gained entrance to Pauls prison. As the motor carried the men toward the pit mouth, and the world which Paul had never hoped to see again, he remained calm. But as they drew nearer the mouth of the pit and the patch of white light came into view, Paul clutched tighter to the hand- rail outlie motor, and with wild eyes stared at it. In a minute the motor shot into the open, and the cold air struck him like a blow. A roar of human voices greeted him. There was the waiting crowd; in a dream he stared at them. He turned and saw the black mouth of the pit. and again turning he ran from the cursed hole; and with the crowd after him. he ran until his legs gave way beneath him. As the crowd drew near he cov- ered his faee with his hands, and ran with lightning speed to his shanty below the tipple. The women and children of the village were gathered at the pit mouth, but Paul saw them not. for the terror of the pit was upon him. THE FIRST VIOLIN Brastias, one of the first to be knighted in King Arthur’s glorious order of the Hound Table, was greatly loved by his King, mostly on account of his sweet, gentle nature as—al- though he was really as brave as others in time of need—he had never won renown by feats of prowess in the jousts or on field of battle. King Arthur had often said, Bratias is like tin soft-voiced dove which soothes the griefs of the world with her gentle cooings.” Thus it was that to Brastias were given those missions of mercy which often came before the King. But once the good King sent him with a message of grave warning, to one of th • petty kings who had pursued a course opposed by King Arthur “(Jet thee hence,” charged the King, “and right quickly do thou deliver our message; and then mayst thou remain in that land as long as thou desirest; nay, bide not too long as we shall miss thy soft petitions at our Table Round.” So, quickly did Brastias get to horse; ami quickly did he ride by winding streams, thru pleasant valleys, over rocky mountain paths and across wind swept deserts; and never once did he loiter by the pleasant way, or grow faint-heated at the perils; but ever onward pushed, stopping only when man or beast must needs have food or rest. But one day he chanced upon u rude hut built where the desert met the forest; and as it was near the night, he dismounted and begged admittance Soon the door swung creakingly inward, when—as soon as his eyes could pierce the gloom which pervaded all—he saw a slen- der young woman, leaning against the door, regarding him w’itb serious, trouble-dimmed eyes; and in the far corner the wasted frame of a young child writhed upon a low pallet. “Ah,” cried the woman, “are not you one of that mighty order of the Hound Table which is ruled by Arthur—the great- est on earth? Yea. 1 recognize that pure, exalted mien which my lord has told me is common to all who serve faithfully under King Arthur. Did the God of your people guide your path to me and my suffering boy?” “Nay, I know not,” replied Brastias. Thus the woman prevailed upon Brastias to remain a day or two to minister to the fever-racked child. Would his con- science permit and his King require him to journey on and leave this lone woman and her child sick unto death, even though he was on his King’s business? Nay, he thought not. Therefore he remained, attending the child with all his skill, and comforting the mother, and indeed she was sore grieved. When King Arthur had made one of his marches against the heathen, she a young heathen girl—had met, loved and wed a young knight of Arthur’s host. For this she had been east out from her people, and her lover bad been counted as one unworthy of the knighthood. Hence they had built their home there on the border between the Christian and heathen THE FIRST VIOLIN - - Continued worlds; and all had been .sunshine until tin� day In had entered the forest in search of game and never returned. One evening the woman brought to Brastius a curious musical instrument, its like on earth In had never beheld. It was in two pieces, the larger and main piece was formed of thin wood, in a hollow, oblong box-shape, having a long handle ex- tending from one end. Many hair-like strings extended along this handle to the opposite end of the box. The other piece was a long, slender rod. with many threads attached from end to end like a bow. This the woman said had been dropped at their front door from the talons of a great eagle which circled above their cabin and she had thought it to be a gift from the Gods. Brastias took the instrument and caressingly laying hi chin on the smooth wood of the box. softly drew the bow across the strings, and thus drew from it the sweetest music ever heard on earth since that holy night when tin heavenly angels had sung “Peace on Karth. Henceforth the days lengthened into months without Brarftius being conscious of it. For hours he would sit bathing his soul in the Hood of music called forth from the rude instrument, and feasting his eyes on the visions sent to accompany the music. At times lithesome maidens would be dancing on the green-sward; again a joyous stream would be murmuring over pearly pebbles, or the sorrowful wind would moan thru the tops of tall pines; even would In see a vision of a great battle and the instrument would gi forth a great clash as of arms, pierced now and then by a high, agonized shriek as of the dying; then would there be a lonely nun kneeling in a dim cloister, praying with face upturned to the Holy Mother, or softly chanting a little hymn. Finally the stern face of his King appeared and seemed to reprove him sorrowfully. Then Brastias. penitent, mounted and quickly made his way to the end of his journey; but he found that the petty king he was in search of had been long since summoned to King Ar tliur. Slowly he made his return to Arthur's court, taking with him the woman, child and the mystic instrument. Beaching the court. King Arthur met him with right- eous wrath. All the efforts of the woman and child failed to obtain pardon for him; until Brastias drew the bow over the strings of the musical instrument and Hooded the hall with such a harmony of sweet sounds that all marvelled and lost them- selves in sweet visions. The heart of King Arthur softened, and. while still deeming him unworthy of great trust, he allow- ed Brastias his kingly forgiveness. Attention! all ye gentle readers. Hear this story of an oak.

Next day the Juniors in uproar went. Planning to get it down: One night when all were fast asleep They hauled it to the ground. Soon after, they put another up— The same kind as before— And when the Juniors saw this one It almost caused a war. They ran about in utmost rage. Like unto a headless hen. But while bv-standers looked and laugheo The emblem fell again. And while this spirit look its course. “Dangerous work” by standers said. “Some accident will surely come.

The S. C. C. or Senior Civics Club is the name chosen by them for their organi- zation. The purpose of this club is the betterment of social conditions and uplifting of ideals of citizenship, both in the school and in the City of Fairmont. Such an organization is. and should be, the pride of any school. With a constitution so well drawn up as the one which they have adopted the club has even' chance for gaining its ideal. The S. C.

BIRD CLUBS The Audubon Bin! Club ami Ih« Bird Protective Club were organized December 12. 1913. with a total membership of forty. The objects of the club are to study birds; to interest others in birds: to protect birds; to attract birds about our homes and schools, both for their economic and aesthetic value. The chief work of the clubs has been the formation of Junior Audubon classes in all the ward schools. Biographies of Persons Prominent About High School Harry Carpenter is president of the Junior class, and we think, is a good one. He is very small of stature, but he bears the honor of being president with great grace. None of the other classes have a better president than the K. R. N. class. Harry was born about seventeen years ago. He is a bright hoy and ranks well in all his classes. He is honored by all of his fellow classmates. At the present time lie resides in the First ward, where he may be reached by calling him on the Consoli- dated ’phone. Miss Isa M. Neel is our Latin teacher. She is a graduate of the West Virginia Hniversitv and was an instructor in one of the West Virginia Normal schools before coming to the Fair- mont High School. She is a very clever woman and a I «at in Star. Besides her Isatin, this year, she is teaching a French class. So one can see she can do most anything she likes. Miss- Neel is not easily made angry, hut when she is made angry it is not at all pleasant to he near her. .Miss Neel is liked by most of her students, even if she does make them study. In the summer time Miss Neel goes to her home in Ritchie county, but in the winter she resides on Locust avenue. —E. A. H. One of the most prominent students of the school is Robert Smith, of the Senior class. He is about nineteen years old, is very bright and always (!) knows his lessons. Robert is cheer leader for the school and he certainly knows how to yell. When he goes out of high school this year the vacancy will be hard to fill. Robert may he found residing on Benoni avenue, and if any persons are in need of a young fellow to cheer for them we are sure Robert would give his service gladly. Our Junior class seems to have made its dehut under a lucky star, as we have been particularly fortunate during all our school life. Especially have we had the good fortune to have an exceptionally efficient staff of elass teachers. Amoug these teachers is one—Mr. Wirt O. Faust—who has won our deepest gratitude for his interest and devotion to the welfare of our class. Mr. Faust has probably had more interest in our class because his boyhood and young manhood has been spent in Fairmont, and he is personally acquainted with most of us. He is well known in educational circles hv his excellent work a a teacher of English—even though he is yet a young man. His ability as a soloist also is well known, as he has for sonic time occupied positions in our church choirs, and has often taken part in other musicals where he has proved his ability for classi- cal singing. While we wish him all success in whatever lino of work he pursues, yet we hope he will remain with us until we finallv leave high school. —H. B. A. In the year 1897 the people of Fairmont learned of a new arrival at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Frame. The parents were delighted to have a darling baby boy and decided they would call him “Lindsey.” Lindsey from his babyhood was a very bright lad. He graduated from public school and is iiqw a Sophomore in High School. Lindsey has two great distinc- tions: he is the handsomest boy in school and has the largest feet of any hoy in West Virginia. Hectn se of the former char- acteristic he is quite | o-pular among the girls. His great hobby is raising chickens, and while the poultry’ show was here Lind- sey was rarely seen in his elass rooms. He expects to continue raising chickens, hut in the mean time he intends to take the course in agriculture at Cornell University. He will then settle down among the hills of West Virginia, and show our farmers how to do their work in an up-to-date way. About nine years ago, in the city of Monongnh. W. Va., Dr. and Mrs. George Smith were made quite happy by the birth of a 17-pound bouncing baby boy. When he was two days old he could talk and had six teeth and I suppose he would have walked bad his props been able to hold him up. When George, Jr., was two years old he knew Shapespeare’s, Tennyson’s and Longfellow’s poems by heart and had mastered Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, and so smart is he and so hard does he study that he has become quite thin. His two greatest characteristics are being the fattest boy in school and the larg- BIOGRAPHIELT - - Continued put'eater in Marion county. George has a sweet baby face which looka pleadingly towards Helen Sanderbeek. His hobby is silting at table in the study hall and Hirtiug with the Junior girls. We hope ns George grows older that he will increase in length, but not in width, and that some time iu the future he will be one of the leading eiti .ens of our town. The young lady who is the subject of this sketch is Miss Nellie Henderson. She came to us last fall and began teaching the subject of History. She has graduated from the West Vir- ginia I'niyersity, and every one who knows Miss Henderson has fallen a victim to the charm of her pleasing personality. The brilliancy of her wit and her keen judgment of a good joke leads one to imagine her to be of Irish descent. Also it seems as though somewhere in her line of ancestors there must have been a public-spirited Englishman—probably a member of Par- liament, since it is rare even in these modern days, when women are striving for a place beside men. to find a woman with such a clear insight into the affairs of the nation or those of univer- sal importance. Her close companionship with her students, with whom she comes in contact in her school work, causes her to have a retinue of loving subjects. These are unconscious of the good influence which she exerts over them since she does not pose as a special reformer of the rising generation, but this influence is none the less powerful bv being unostentatious. —H. B. A. CHEMICAL LABORATORY DOMESTIC SCIENCE LABORATORY c s ATHLETICS A thirties, iu the Fairmont High School, have advanced more this year than ever before. This is due to the better financial conditions and to .the interest displayed by the various teams that have represented the school this year. More efii cient coaching and training is another great factor in this ad- vancement. Karly in the basket ball season Rex K. John was procured ns coach of the team. He soon showed his efficiency by pro- ducing the best basket ball team that ever represented the F. 11. S. During the track season .Mr. Killmry coached and train- ed a track team which decisively won the championship of the Monongahela Valley High School League. WEARERS OF THE F.

While the weather was pleasant the class took long walks into the neighboring country, the walks being planned by various members of the class. During the winter the girls met twice a week in the gymnasium. One afternoon was given up to regular gymnastic drill, the other to basket ball. A good many girls showed their interest in athletics by coming to class occasionally, but the regular attendants were less numerous. It is. nevertheless, encouraging to learn that there is a definite appreciation of the value of physical training and education among the girls of the High School. That this interest will grow until all the girls of the school are members of the Athletic Association is earnestly hoped, because for all the girls to have a live interest iu athletics would be for the girls’ good as well as for the good of the Association. BASKET BALL The season of 1913 has proven to In the most successful in the history of the Fairmont High School. During the entire year the team showed excellent form. This was due to the tin excelled coaching of Hex K. John, and to the good management of the team. The season consisted of eleven games, of which eight were won by the F. 11. S. team.

In these talks some iessons from the Hood Book were impressed upon us —ever teaching the importance of diligence, uprightness, the joy of service always aptly applying its lessons to the occa- sions daily as they appeared in the lives of the hoys and girls. “Amelia McCray Vandervort, ’81.” ROLL OF HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE Class of 1877. •Kate Ebert Mark Black Samuel Pierpoint Willie Pierpoint Class of 1880.
