ROBINSON CLASS HISTORY The class of nineteen hundred and twenty-two entered Fairmont High School in much the same manner as did every other class. There was nothing remarkable in our history during either our Freshman or Sophomore years save the electing of our sponsor. Mr. Clarence D. Robinson was chosen, and no bigger hearted, more generous citizen ever headed a graduating class from F. H. S. At the beginning of our junior year we found ourselves facing a crisis. lt had always been the custom for the Juniors to publish the school annual, but due to war prices prevailing for all material, and other ,abnormal conditions, it was thought advisable to discontinue the publica- tion for that year. However we felt our honor was at stake so willingly assumed the stupendous task. This enterprise was bound to make us famous, for in order to finance the Maple Leaves a County Fair was held that eclipsed any- thing ever held before in Fairmont High from both the standpoint of money making, and fun making. However, the annual staff had not been idle and were able through means of their own, to finance the publication without touching the proceeds derived from the Fair. Our Senior year was just as brilliant. The.Fair was repeated with even better success and a fine play was also produced. Many parties and other social events marked all four years but the banquet given at the Y. M. C. A. by our sponsor was particularly enjoyable. In fact, his big hearted generosity knew no bounds for he presented each member of his class with both a class pin and ring. We have always elected splendid officers and we are proud to have followed them. We have furnished a generous share of athletes. The fact that the captain of both the foot-ball and basket-ball teams this year were Seniors bears this out. Thus in closing our career we may look back with a mingled feeling of joy and consciousness of achievements as we regretfully bid old Fairmont High adieu. Twenty-two
