Fairmont High School - Maple Leaves Yearbook (Fairmont, WV)

Text from Pages 1 - 184 of the 1923 volume:

FOREWORD O faithfully portray a record of the important and significant happenings of the happy years spent in toil or play; to give honor where honor is due whether scholastically or athletically; to recall fond mem- ories to the old grads, and in later years to be a source of inspiration to our fellow workers of the present; to there- by arouse a lasting love for the old school, is the mission of the Maple Leaves of nineteen hundred and twenty- three. I WO DEDICATION Our dearest friend, our truest comrade. Most loyal pal we know; To you we give our heartfelt praise. To you our year’s success we owe. For your never-failing interest. For each word of praise and cheer. For your countless acts of kindness. For your help throughout the year. May this book bring honor to you. May it live up to your name; Then, indeed we’ll be rewarded. For that has been our aim. Four f Five OTIS G. WILSON Superintendent of Schools WILSON, our most efficient Superintendent of Schools, has jfTI served in that capacity since the fall of 1915. He is a scholar and a gentleman, dignified in everything that he does. His very presence is an inspiration to us and his words give us confidence and encouragement. It was through the hearty cooperation and influence of Mr. Wilson that Fairmont High School has become one of the most progressive and up-to-date schools in West Virginia. Six WILLIAM E. BUCKEY Principal O more competent man could have been chosen than our new ’•fjX and much loved principal. Although he has been with us only a short time, he has already made a host of friends among both students and faculty. Mr. Buckey was bom in Randolph County, West Virginia, near the town of Beverly. After completing his High School education he taught at Cairo, Ritchie County and at Central City, a suburb of Huntington. He attended the Fairmont State Normal School, and then was sixth grade critic in Butcher School of this city. Later he was made principal of that school which position he held for six years. He resigned there to go to West Virginia University, after which he took extension courses at Har- vard and Columbia. Always cheerful and ever active and helpful in promoting our wel- fare, his influence over our school life has been unlimited. Seven TT ii a b C Z 55555505555555555 CARRIE KATHRYN FLEMING. English.

The new building will be of a stucco construction and will be located on the campus at the rear of the main building. It will be one of the largest and finest of its kind in the state having eight tiers of seats on each side affording a seating capacity of from six hundred to one thousand. The playing floor will be sixty-four by forty-eight feet. The gym will be equipped with two swinging baskets on each side enabling two teams to practice at once, and will be otherwise completely fitted. There will be two basements; one containing boys', girls.' and visitors’ dressing rooms, equipped with showers and lockers. There will also be a large, completely furnished manual training room on this floor. The sub-basement will contain the boiler room of the steam heating system, and a store room.

D. 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. It 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.

SMITH CLASS HISTORY Slowly the curtain of time is being lowered, and we are now passing from our career as Juniors to the time when we shall take up the reins as Seniors. Since our entrance as Freshmen, three short years have rolled by. During this time, the class of 1923 has been busy in all school activities and has made an enviable record. Winning the inter-class basketball championship in our Freshman year, a bright future in athletics was predicted for us. We have tried to keep up that record by supplying several men for the school football, basketball, baseball and track teams. The most important event of our Sophomore year was the election of our capable sponsor, Mr. Earl H. Smith. During this year, too, we were especially distinguished in literary work, for one-third of the Hi-Life staff was elected from our class. Now in this, our Junior year, we feel that we have accomplished a great deal. Besides publishing the 1922 issue of Maple Leaves. we have given The Junior Cabaret, a unique entertainment, and the play, The Touchdown, which truly portrayed the spirit and talent of the class. Thus far, our Junior year has been the most profitable one, but as Seniors we hope to accomplish even more. THirty-six QWIGHT LAFFERTY— Burny Mark of Identification: Presidential air.

Vice-President -Secretary SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY With modesty we pass over the achievements of our Freshman year and begin to record the events of this, our Sophomore year. At the beginning of this year our president, William Evans, resigned and in his place we elected Alphonsus Ginkel who has proved a very worthy successor. Another event of importance was the election of Dr. H. H. Carr as our sponsor. We are confident that our choice was a wise one and we intend to be a class of which he may be proud. The entire class participated in all activities of the school and at all times exhibited a true spirit of fellowship. Many social functions were enjoyed by all. Our athletic standing was unusually high, particularly in basketball in which we excelled. In our Freshman year we were the winners of the interclass basketball league. This we not only repeated again this year but furnished the majority of the varsity material. In football we were also very well represented. At the close of our Sophomore year we view with pride our record and turn to the future with hopes of further dis- tinguishing ourselves.

From the first we took part in all important activities and with excellent officers gave promise of being a banner class. In reviewing our scholastic standing one finds a long series of triumphs. With but few exceptions the class of '25 stood unusually high as real students. We took our lessons in a serious way and our unusual record shows the results. We were also recognized as the strongest con- tributors to our school paper and played no small part in making it the success it was. Athletically we also stood very high. No class in school exhibited more school spirit and attended the games better than we did. We had several men on the various teams who gave great promise for the future. We intend to maintain this high standard and to accomplish much greater things during the coming year for the love of dear old Fairmont High. Fifty-� ix Fifty-seven Freshman Class Roll Abel.

The Council consists of two representatives from each class as follows: FRESHMAN—Olive Snyder. Paul Moore. SOPHOMORE—William Evans. Robert Helmick. JUNIORS---Helen Thayer, Maurice Talkington. SENIOR—Mary Mason Helmick, Alfred Neely. The projects on which the Council has been diligently working are: to better the morals of the school; to co-operate with the faculty advisors in making the government of the school more democratic; to eliminate the petty organizations, and to encourage those which are for the wel- fare of the school. Without the aid of Mr. Buckey, the Student Council would have little or nothing to say for itself, but his encouraging and timely sugges- tions have helped them to solve all their difficulties. The president is Mary Mason Helmick of the Senior class; the vice- president is Alfred Neely also of the Senior class, and the secretary and treasurer is Olive Snyder of the Freshman class. Sixty Sixty-one FINANCE BOARD The Finance Board for 1921-1922 was chosen early in the school year and rendered very efficient service. The Board looks after all money matters relating to the school and as such is one of its most important organizations. The heaviest part of the work fell upon its treasurer who was Mr. B. D. Kahn of the faculty. He discharged his duty in a very capable manner and his services were greatly appreciated. The Board, each year, is composed of the Principal, two members of the faculty, and a representative from the Senior and Junior classes. The members of the Board were as follows: W. E. Buckey, Principal Walter Glover. Commissioner of Finance B. D. Kahn. Treasurer George Cole, Auditor F. A.

Hi-Life was recognized as one of the best school papers in the state and each issue was eagerly awaited by the students. That the paper was a literary success was due to the untiring labor of its Editor, Carter Jones. Too much praise could not be given to this persevering worker. The various members of the staff also deserve much credit as does Mr. Church, who played no small part in the making of the paper. The paper was a financial success due to the hard work of its busi- ness managers, Robert Sloan and Guy Stevens. One of the most encouraging features in the publishing of the paper was the interest taken by the student body as a whole and the large number of voluntary contributors. Sixty-thr?c CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS Pepville and Tip-Top Town were organized early in the first semester by the Girls' Community Civics Classes with an aim of study- ing and promoting good citizenship. Each town tried to teach its mem- bers to become useful members of their community.

(Chorus) I am proud of Fairmont, is Fairmont proud of me? What she needs is citizens trained in loyalty; When we work, when we play, with our fellow men Good citizens we will be. Then I’ll be proud, be proud of my old town And I’ll make her proud of me. The boys and girls of yesterday Are the grown-ups of to-day. To-morrow we will lead our town; We'll learn how through work and play. Sixty four TIP TOP TOWN Sixty-five Sixty-six For many years we have had an organization in school known as the Hi-Y Girls. At first it was a live-wire and peppy organization, as it should be; however it merely existed for a few years, until last year, when it was revived. We have regained some of the old-time en- thusiasm and pep, and have changed our name from Hi-Y” to Blue Triangle Girls.” The purpose of this club is to encourage clean and helpful living among the girls and to bring them into a clearer understanding of what it means to be a good Christian girl. We assist in all public drives and campaigns, also the charity work of the community, and in any way we can. We have social as well as business meetings and have given two plays. “Her First Assignment, and Mister Bob,” the latter with the Hi-Y Boys. The club has revived and will no doubt become one of the main, and indispensable organizations of the High School. The officers are: Virginia Satterfield_______________________________________President Mary Boggess_______________________________________________Vice-President Mary Mason Helmick_________________________________________Secretary Pauline Barcus_____________________________________________Treasurer BLUE TRIANGLE GIRLS THE BOYS’ HI-Y CLUB The past year has plunged the Hi-Y club into the depths and lifted it to the heights. One of the real worth while organizations among the F. H. S. fellows, it has accomplished several things of which it is justly proud. It has fostered better feeling among the fellows, it has corrected a few of the undesirable features of school life, and it has helped extend the boys work throughout the state. A notable event in which the club took an active part, was the Boys’ Hi-Y conference of Northern West Virginia, held here on January twenty-first and second. The personnel of the organization is composed of boys of the high- est standing in scholarship and athletics in Fairmont High School. Meet- ings are held every Tuesday where business and pleasure mingle. Every program is interesting and on alternate Tuesdays, suppers which are held, are greatly enjoyed. The officers are as follows: Otis Watson_______________________________________________President Albert Fuller_______________________________________,____Vice-President Carter Jones______________________________________________Secretary Thomas Wise_______________________________________________Treasurer Sixty-seven FRESHMAN LITERARY SOCIETIES Literary Societies were organized this year in all the Freshman Eng- lish classes and each one proved not only a live wire society but also a source where knowledge could be obtained in an interesting way. Officers were elected and a program was presented every two weeks, several mem- bers of the class taking part each time. The societies were organized in the hope that through them the stu- dents might further their knowledge of Literature. English and Current Events and might obtain some experience in speaking and debating. On the whole the societies were very helpful and instructive which made them readily worth while. THE ABOHA AFOHA CAMP FIRE CIRCLE In November 1919 several Freshmen girls responded to the invita- tion to become Camp Fire Girls and formed a circle under Miss Mary Hervey's guardianship. The Circle was named Aboha Afoha, meaning ‘‘Place of Rest.” When Miss Hervey did not return in the fall of 1921, we chose Miss Reed as our guardian. Under her leadership the circle grew rapidly, taking in several new members and combining with the circle from Butcher School. With their assistance we accomplished many things. We took an active part in the Health parade. Much to our joy we had the pleasure of entertaining Princess Tsianina who appeared here in concert with Charles Wakefield Cadman and interpreted his Indian Songs. It was indeed a pleasure to us to be allowed to vote her in as an honorary member of our circle. She gave us a great deal of practical knowledge of Indian life. In celebration of the tenth birthday of Camp Fire an exhibit of Camp Fire material and crafts was displayed. For this occasion also. Dr. Broomfield preached a very inspiring sermon, to the Camp Fire Girls and their friends. Sunday. March 1 9th. The work of the Camp Fire Girls will no doubt be carried on next year with even greater success. Sixty-eight THE KOWAUNKAMISH-ITONAMU CAMP FIRE CIRCLE At the beginning of the school term the Kowaunkamish and itonamu Camp Fire Circles started their work anew. Each member was ready and willing to do her part. In the fall, many walks and hikes were enjoyed by the Camp Fire Girls. We took part also in the Health Parade, living up to our motto, Give Service. The Kowaunkamish Circle gave a Hallowe’en party at the High School and the occasion was enjoyed by all. Miss Reed and Miss Harsh- barger entertained all the Camp Fire Girls at a Grand Council Fire at which the mothers of the girls were present. On January 27, 1922, a play, Peggy Malone. was given by the Kowaunkamish and Itonamu Circles. This play was a success and the girls were well repaid for their work. In February, a Council Fire was held. At this meeting the Circles were united into one with Miss Harshbarger as guardian and Miss Crowl, assistant guardian. The name of the new circle is Kowaunkamish-Itonamu. CAMP FIRF CIRCLES Sixty-nine THE SKULL KLUB On March 22. 1919, a group of girls in a Hygiene Class organized the Skull Klub. It was named for Mr. Harry Skull of Chicago, a man who is old in years and knowledge but young in body. The purpose of the organization was to further instruct its members regarding health, and to enforce good health rules, thereby helping the members personally. In 1920 the club was reorganized and met every two weeks. The programs were all about health and health rules. This year, with the able assistance of Miss Frost, the club has been reorganized under the same name but the purpose has been made three- fold. Our school initials F. H. S. stand for the purposes. F. stands for Friendship. One of the objects of the club is to promote better friendship between the members. H. stands for Health which is the underlying purpose of the organization. Realizing the importance of good health the club endeavors to help the members secure good health and to keep it. The last letter. S., is for Scholarship. No girl can be a member who has failed in more than one subject. The club members lunch together each Wednesday and have a pro- gram. Many delightful luncheons are enjoyed and many interesting and helpful programs are given. The members enter heartily into both the work and the play of the organization and derive many benefits. BIO-CHEM-PHI-SO-GE-AST l'he Bio-Chem-Phi-So-Ge-Ast was Miss Helmick’s idea. The name is a conglomeration of terms used in science. Our initiation meeting was a great success. All the mysterious tricks that are known to chemistry were used and it was a relief to all when the ceremony was completed. This meeting started a series of gatherings which have been very interest- ing and instructive. The members are very congenial and anxious to learn all they can of science. Each meeting has been given over to a discussion of some one branch of science; discussions which have been enlightening and many-sided. If all the meetings of other clubs of 1921-1922 were as fine as those of the Bio-Chem-Phi-So-Ge-Ast. Fairmont High School will surely have a genuine spirit of brotherhood.

In all. about twenty-five entered this work. The purpose of the club is to create more interest in public speaking, to prepare the pupils for better work when Juniors and Seniors, and to enable them to be of more service in every phase of school work in which public speaking helps. The work consists of stressing good posture, correct pronounciation and enunciation, and of learning a few selections for public speaking. Although the membership this year has been small, the interest and the results have been good, and it is felt by Miss Riggle, whose enthusi- asm is greatly appreciated, that there is a promising future in public speak- ing for this club. Seventy-one Seventy-two Seventy-three GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The Girls' Glee Club was organized early in September with an aim to stimulate an interest in music. The Club meets on Tuesday and Fri- day of each week at the two-ten period and its members are given the benefit of training under the excellent direction of Miss Kirk. Shortly after the first meeting, books containing a number of popu- lar Glee Club selections were ordered and instructive as well as enjoyable work ensued. The first of November, the Club as a whole, including sixty-one members, in cooperation with the Dramatic Department, began work on the musical score of Miss Cherryblossom. an operetta which was pre- sented December ninth and tenth. Later, twenty of the members were chosen for the cast and choruses. During the year the girls have rendered several most enjoyable chapel programs and have also appeared before the Kiwanis Club. The results of this year afford ample evidence of future success. Seventy-four Seventy-five BOYS’ GLEE CLUB Toward the latter part of September the Boys' Glee Club was or- ganized with an enrollment of twenty. Since no provision had been made for it in the regular curriculum, practice hours were arranged for on Friday morning and Tuesday evening of each week. The club was well represented in the choruses of “Miss Cherry- blossom and six of its members were chosen for the cast. I here is no doubt but that the organization will be enlarged next year and it is hoped that it will be included in the regular school program. The members are: Van Maier Altman Charles Burris Albert Cassell Robert Crowl Franklyn Fleming Joseph Fletcher F-larold Hawkins Eugene Holland Harry Linn Norman Mumford Charles Miller Jay Pierce Boyd Patterson Gorden Rosenmerkle Joe Ross Henry Thompson Seventy-seven MISS CHERRY BLOSSOM Presented by Music and Dramatic Departments of FAIRMONT HIGH SCHOOL December 9 and 1 0 CAST OF CHARACTERS Miss Cherry Blossom----------------------------Lucille Stealey John Henry Smith (Jack)------------------------Gordon Rosenmerkle Jessica----------------------------------------Mary Jo Conaway Harry------------------------------------------Albert Cassell Togo-------------------------------------------Harold Hawkins Kokomo-----------------------------------------Norman Mumford Worthington------------------------------------Carter Jones James Young (Worthington s Secretary)__________Joseph Fletcher American Girls and Men Geisha Girls Interpretive Dancing Between Acts_____________Isabelle Klaw Seventy-eight MISS CHERRY BLOSSOM ‘‘Miss Cherry Blossom.’ a most pleasing musical comedy, was given very successfully on the evenings of December 9 and I 0 by the Music and Dramatic Clubs of Fairmont High. The story centers about Evelyn Barns, of New York, born in Japan, but whose parents die while she is very young. She is brought up by Kokomo, a Japanese inn-keeper, who knows nothing of her past. When Evelyn, known as Miss Cherry Blossom, is eighteen years old her father's secretary, Worthington, who has used her property for his own ends, returns to Japan. Fie brings with him a party of friends, one of whom. John Henry Smith, falls in love with Cherry. Togo, a rich politician, lends action to the operetta in attempting to outwit Jack in the race for Cherry’s hand, while Kokomo furnishes the humor. In the course of events, however. Cherry learns her true identity and is happily married to Jack. HARMONY CLASS For the purpose of giving its members a higher and broader appre- ciation of music, a class in Harmony was organized last fall by a few pupils studying piano. Others became interested and soon the member- ship was increased. Due to the fact that the class was not included in the regular school program it encountered many handicaps in its effort to meet after school twice a week. Those girls who have persevered however, deserve a great deal of credit. Certainly much credit must be given to Miss Kirk for her encour- agement and patience without which the Harmony Class would probably have been unable to exist. Members Pauline Barcus Catherine Brobst Pauline Bucy Irene Graffus Martha Jenkins Margaret Miller Nelle Lawson Amelia Pollock Mary Springer Seventy-nine THE ORCHESTRA The Orchestra was organized at the beginning of the school year and has already grown to be one of the most interesting of all the ac- tivities. T he membership numbers about twelve and meetings are held on Tuesday and Thursday mornings of each week. Mention must be made of the splendid spirit that is shown by the members of this organization especially their willingness to cooperate with other organizations and activities of the school. On a number of very important occasions the orchestra has repre- sented the school. Some of the engagements outside of regular school activities are: November 10. 1921—Fathers' and Sons' Banquet at Presbyterian Church. December 5. 1921—Opening Reception at Y. W. C. A. December 8, 1921—Senior Class Banquet given by Mr. Robinson at Y. M. C. A. December 9 and 10. 1921—“Miss Cherryblossom operetta at High School.

Eighty-one The Junior Class presented a real ' high class entertainment March third when they made their bow to the public in the form of the Junio Cabaret. It was a reproduction of a real Broadway Show and the first of its kind ever presented in Fairmont. The patrons were met at the door by a flunkie clad in a livery of crimson and grey, which colors were carried out in all the decorations. The main corridor was depicted as a peacock alley, cleverly transform- ing our common place hall into a lobby of unusual attractiveness. The auditorium was an artistic salon with its stately columns of crimson and grey. There was a variety of viands for every taste on the menu, in- cluding sparkling drinks, salads, and pastries. The program consisted of solo dancers, solos, and choruses. It was a gay crowd which gathered to partake of the entertainment offered, and the Juniors feel that they have been highly successful in this their first public appearance. t Eighty-two CHORUS V V u X. «- I -c u. • M LjJ fWKnwn Htf- |0c SmilK-A l« | Ac Hoi OMcalali' I Ac SAl AOS Owdim Fruit •V.V HK ICKS StrovUny PortcM JWiypl� PmAmt hutifc SiimU' FimJi pMtorM SANDWICHES Hwckry SpM.Mil RIMvmi .Sandvkli Eighty-four REMINISCENCE When you are old. with a crick in your back With a limp and a tottering gait; With snow white hair and of wrinkles no lack And a bent form once sedate.

Eighty-six THE LOCKED CHAMBER It was dusk. In an obscure corner of the darkening library sat a man, leaning his head on his long, slender, white hand,—unmindful of the deepening gloom, the penetrating chill of the twilight and the fast dy- ing embers on the hearthstone. Thus, he had sat for hours; alone, except for his troubled thoughts, the immovable statues, and the spirits of the un- seen. So suddenly did he rise, that the cold, grim, lifeless statues seemed to start back in surprise; then with rapid, nervous movements, he walk- ed across the dusky room to the open window. Parting the heavy cur- tains, he peered out. Great black clouds had gathered and were hovering low over the treetops. An oppressive stillness, such as often precedes a storm, reigned. Not a leaf stirred on the solemn, towering oaks; not a blade breathed of the tall, unkempt grass; not a living creature moved. Yet there was an atmosphere about the unwonted stillness that breathed of the pres- ence of unseen forces, as well as forecasted the impending storm. Suddenly, a streak of lightning flashed across the horizon and re- vealed the silent figure by the window. In that brief space of time, big, frightened, unseeing eyes could have been seen staring out from a pale, haggard face, lined and creased with sorrow and sadness. A peal of thunder sounded and rumbled slowly away in the distance. Great drops of rain began to pelt down and beat upon the walls of the dingy, old house like missies hurled by wrathful gods. Almost simultaneously, the man fell upon his knees, his shoulders heaving convulsively with uncontrollable sobs. What was there in the oncoming storm to cause a strong man to quail and render him weak as woman? Was it fear, or was it some great tragedy in his life which the now raging storm recalled? Alas! It was just such a night as this, and just one year ago that his pale, beauti- ful wife lay dying in the chamber above. Oh, if he could only see her dear face once more and listen to one word spoken by her sweet lips! The storm was now raging. Mighty winds shook the great oaks and threatened to tear them out by the roots. Their big, brawny limbs sway- ed rythmetically to and fro in the arm of the over-powering storm, tremulous little hand-like leaves endeavored to be calm, but the wild, un- controllable wind seized them and tossed them about on his billowy breast. The angry gods, not content with unchaining the viscious wind, and casting mere drops of water, began to hurl more deadly weapons of hail from their mysteriously secluded corner of the universe. It beat down upon the frail, unprotected leaves and tore them into shreds; it cut down the tall, bending grass and beat it into the earth. The hilarious wind shrieked and howled in a mad frenzy of delight as it tore around the four corners of the house. Eighty-seven But the storm raged on, unheeded by the man striken down by an emotion no earthly power could satisfy and grief, no mortal being could console. If only her spirit could come to him, or he could go out into the great unknown in search for her! But even in the half-demented condition wrought by his hours of brooding, he realized the futility and improbiiities of this desire. He tried to think of something that would turn his thoughts into another channel and divert his mind from his grief. But he could keep his mind on nothing else. Seemingly trivial little in- cidents in their short, but happy wedded life loomed up before him. He thought repeatedly of the chamber above where the parting scene had taken place, and through whose locked doors no one had entered since the dead body had been removed. Suddenly, he thought of her old love letters, and thinking that perhaps he might derive a certain degree of consolation by reading them, he resolved to go to the attic and seek them out. Acting on this impluse. the man hastened up the two Rights of stairs to the attic. It was pitch dark. He struck a match, but it flickered and went out. Striking another, he carefully shielded it with his hand while he peered about the garret. Broken furniture, antique heirlooms, dis- carded trunks and chests, and rubbish which had been accumulating for several generations were piled about the dingy walls and corners. Piece by piece, he cast the garret ''bric-a-brac aside in search for the little red cedar chest which contained the precious letters. But to no avail, for the little chest could not be found. The man fell to pacing the floor, peering defiantly into the black- ness as he paced. But the blackness only crowded closer around him and pushed him back farther and farther until he found his back against the wall. Fumbling about with agitated hands, he found that he was standing close by a small gable window. He felt in his pocket for another match. Only one remained. He struck it, and the faint glimmer drove the black- ness back far enough to give him breathing space. Peering about in the dim light, he found two bits of tallow candle at his feet. He lighted one. The blackness receded still farther and lured mysteriously in the shadowy corners. Grotesque shadows peered ominously from behind boxes and trunks and danced on the walls by the flickering light of the candle. The man turned from the shadows to glance out the window. As he peered into the stormy blackness outside, he perceived some- thing white fluttering close to the wall below. Straining his eyes, he looked closer, and saw that the white object was just outside the window of the chamber in which his wife had died. What could it be, and from whence had it come? His distorted mind turned eagerly to the thought that the spirit of his dead wife had returned and was trying to enter the room from which it had flown one year ago. Eighty-eight The ghost-like apparition fluttered feebly about the window. The rain, which had been pouring down in torrents, had abated somewhat, and the wind howled less disconsolately. But the lull was soon over, and the storm seemed to gather all its forces and come back with a renewed vigor. The phantom fluttered and quivered with indecision for one brief moment; then, with uplifted arms, phantom and storm struck with one accord and crashed the pane of glass. The phantom floated half-way over the window-sill, and fell as if exhausted. The man, trembling with excitement, ran from the attic down the dark stairway to the door of the locked chamber. A pool of water came trickling slowly under the door. His heart beat wildly. Blood? Could it be blood? Summoning almost super-human strength, he burst the heavy door down and ran across the room to the spector. He touched it, but it did not move. He picked it up tenderly. It fell limp in his hands. A flash of lightning lit up the room and revealed in his hands the wet. dripping awnings, which he remembered had been left hanging in compli- ance with his desire to have nothing disturbed about the room in which his wife had died. Outside, the storm broke and the clouds cleared away. The new day began to dawn, and a rosy light appeared in the eastern sky. Peer ing through the morning mist he saw, wreathed in a rosy cloud, the sweet face and angelic smile of his beloved wife. A smile of peace settled on his own countenance as he fell to his knees and reached out his arms. The soul left his body and sped away to a happier world to dwell forever- more with the spirit of her for whom he had yearned. ESTHER McQUEEN. Eighty-nine OUR GYM It first was talked of in the days When Fairmont High was young, The plan was claimed as great by all. And loud its praises sung. They talked about it day by day. And said it was a dandy scheme. But alas! the years roiled slowly on And still it was an empty dream. As they waited patiently Their four years rolled away. Now those who first talked of the gym Are gone, or old and gray. They handed to their sons and daughters The hopes which they had had. That some day there would surely be That which we need so bad. And now it’s nineteen-twenty-two. And the need is just as great. Until we get that which we want. Our school is in a sorry state. But all our patient waiting Has not been in vain. And when we finally get our gym Our cherished hope will be our gain. SARAH ROCK POOR RICHARD’S ALMANAC (With apologies to Benjamin Franklin) Courteous Reader: I have heard that nothing gives an editor so great pleasure as to find his efforts respectfully quoted and appreciated. This pleasure I have seldom enjoyed in the past, but hope to do so in the future. The few times that 1 have heard myself repeated have in- tensely gratified me. Coming upon my Staff suddenly one day. I found that 1 was the chief topic of their conversation. Sarah Rock was saying, Now, I'm going to act just like poor Richard does at one of our meetings. (I might mention here that we hold our meetings in Miss Billingslea’s room in the attic. ) First, he comes in with that energetic stride of his which shows what a busy man he is, and throws his hat upon the nearest chair. After rubbing his hands together several times and looking for his writing materials, he sits down in a remote corner of the room and begins to write as fast as he possibly can. (This is with all due respect to the members of the Staff.) When I ask him what to do he tells me to write up something and then says, ’Do the best you can and hand it in as soon as possible! Then when I do hand it in he says, very quietly, T like that real well. Of course, 1 realize that 1 could never have done so well myself.' Then after a moment's hesitation Poor Richard says. Oh, wait a minute. I want to read that again! Just at this time, I burst in upon them, immediately quieting Sarah’s ravings. This set me to thinking, however, and I resolved to be the better for the echo of it. Reader, if thou wilt do the same, thy profit will be as great as mine. I am as ever, thine to serve thee, RICHARD B. PARRISH P. M. B. Ninety A BALLAD OF NAMES There was once a Rich. Wise, and Ruddy Knight, who was fain to ride many a mile in his Ford, far from his own Barns and Parks. One day he started out F'rum home to take a Long Tripp. His Ford was broken, so he did Curry his horse and donned his Hood of Tarleton. and rode Straight away. Soon he came to the Sands of the ocean, and there he caught a Fishback. He crossed deep Moats, and passed Berry fields. Once, when he entered a gloomy Wood, he saw a lone Nutter beneath an Ash. and they did fire some Shotts. In the end the Knight caused the man’s Sole to depart, and proclaimed himself the Victor. Riding on. he saw a Black Hart, and taking his trusty sword in his Klaw, he did Pierce its flank. So he did ride on. until he came to a towering Hite of Rocks. He looked at it and said: “Shaw! I’ll Gainer, even if 1 do Tucker out. for I am Fuller grit. So he did climb and climb and finally it began to Hale. He heard a Russel at his horse's side, and there beheld a lady Anderson, dressed in W'hite. The lady did Henderson to the Knight, and then he did Springer on behind him. She said: Go Moore Fast, and we will soon reach shelter. So the Knight rode fast, and the lady showed him the way. Soon they reached a sign Post, and before them, thru the Hale, they beheld a Beerbower. The Knight dismounted, and they went in. There the Knight found, to his joy, his friends the Butcher, the Mason, the Carpenter, the Kopp, the Baker, the Miller, and even his own Tennant sitting in a Hall where the fire Burns, asking Riddels, trying to Reed, and drinking Brown liquor from the Barr. Among the group, the lady found her husband, the Dean. The Knight called for a bowl of Rice for the boy. and threw more Cole on the fire, and everyone was Happy. DOROTHY BRACKETT. 24. Ninety-one THE COUNTY FAIR The County Fair, an enjoyable entertainment which the Juniors successfully gave last year was presented again this year by the same class, with many new and original features. The vaudeville and minstrel was perhaps the most elaborate event of the evening. It opened with a chorus of pretty girls, who danced and sang two numbers. Solo singers were Lucille Stealy and Louise Johnson, who greatly pleased with their pretty voices and graceful dancing. Next was a musical number consisting of banjos, mandolins, and ukeleles played by high school boys. Carl Riddel s Chalk Talk was a pleasing feature of the program, as was F.na Caldara s solo dancing. Next came the talked of minstrel. Mr. C. D. Robinson acted as interlocuter. and black-faced comedians were: Norman Mumford, Alfred Neely. Harold Hawkins. Albert Cassell. Franklyn Fleming. Charles Burris. Gordon Ros- enmerkle, Ralph Watkins and Henry Thompson. All the boys did unusu- ally well; particularly Franklyn Fleming and Henry Thompson, who both scored quite a success in their performances. Although the vaudeville was the center of attraction, the tea room was also a popular feature. Refreshments were also served in the base- ment. Everybody is acquainted with Red Cooper's hot-dogs. Other popular places of entertainment were the fortune-telling booths, where oracles of able ability enlightened the future for the curi- ous ones. Thrills were obtained in the Chamber of Horrors, and in one room vast enjoyment was derived by students in hitting the faculty.” Results for the election of Queen of the Fair were announced dur- ing the evening. Ninety-two Amelia Pollock Elizabeth Knight Eleanor Smith _ I 100 325 300 YE GOODE OLDE DAYS Speaking of King Arthur's Court and how that Yankee came and upset things for em and raised the dickens generally, did you ever stop to think what a beautiful setting F. H. S. would be for one of those real old. thrilling romances? To begin with, there must be a hero. All right--------here he is in our very midst. Who would look better in suit of shining mail, with a waving plume in his helmet and his spear and gleaming shield shining in the sunlight than Norman Mumford? Who indeed could better save a fair lady in distress with his trusty sword, or sing love-songs in the moon- light under her window, than Norman? And speaking of the fair lady, can't you just see Louise Johnson, with her golden hair falling over her shoulders in braids and her lovely eyes full of tears for her brave knight who sets out so courageously for the fight? And to supply excitement to the piece, there must be the villain. All he needs is a fierce mustache and blue satin doublet, and lo! be- fore you stands George Cole, the most unscrupulous villain who ever plotted for a fair lady's hand. And there must also be the irate king, who commands his ward to marry Duke George and is filled with wrath when she needs must run away with her knight. The royal dignity and haughty mien of Carter Jones well matches the kingly robes which we shall have him don for the time. And as for the setting of the romance, just look at our imposing castle. Rearing its fluted towers against the sky. it stands in the midst of a stately forest which slopes in front to a winding stream, forming a hollow which bears the mystic name of Coal Run. The trees are filled with brilliantly plumaged birds and strange flowers, which it is against the rule to pick, grow in abundance on the low bushes around the en- trance. At the rear is the playground where many a gay crowd hath gathered for a tournament, and at the farther side stand the stables (we offer apologies to Mr. Clark and the Annex). Inside, all is revelry and good cheer. The great banquet hall is the scene of an elaborate feast given by the King in honor of his friend, the Duke George, who has come to ask for the hand of the Princess, offering incidently. great caskets of gold which greatly tempteth the King, who is rather hard up at the time. Music was furnished by the orchestra of the palace and the sweet strains did much to add to the gaiety of those assembled. The Lady Louise stood in the balcony and looked down sadly at the diners, who waxed gayer and ever gayer. The red roses in her hand drooped and the diamonds in her hair and on her gown sparkled not and gave her no pleasure, for was not her lover far away in the lowlands fighting valiantly, while below, the villainous George, to whom she was betrothed, made himself drunk on Junior Julep? Ninety-three Suddenly in the midst of the revelry came another sound, almost drowning the noise of the hilarious guests, though those below heard it not. But the Lady Louise heard and her heart leaped as she rushed to the window. A vehicle dashed to the curb with such a rattle and jangle as to deaden all other sounds. It was. indeed, the brave knight who had borrowed Mr. Buckey's Ford, to arrive the more expediently. It stood panting at the curb shaking so that the luxurious tin trappings jingled. The knight dashed to the side door, only to find it barred and dis- playing the following sign: “Please enter by the front door. Furious by the delay, he uttered an oath and made for the main entrance. At the main door the impatient knight was accosted by the Warden known as Shorty. He would have barred his entrance, but Sir Norman pushed him roughly aside, tossing over his shoulder a gold piece to appease the fellow. Meeting no more obstacles in his path than three or four guards whom he knocked over as if they were ten-pins, he gained the banquet hall. A toast was just being proposed by Duke George who stood on a chair, a striking figure in his velvet tunic and tight blue breeches, hold- ing aloft his glass of sparkling Julep. He was saying in ringing tones---- ‘‘To the Lady Louise, fairest lady who ever walked. She s mine, gentlemen------” The speech was never finished. The glass was struck from his hand with such force that it went spinning across the room to crash in smithers against the farther wall. George turned slowly to confront the outraged knight, but before he could draw his sword, he was grasped by the collar and sent spinning after the glass. Instantly the hall was in an uproar. Chairs were overturned and shouts filled the air. Sir Norman was seemingly everywhere at once, his wrath making him fight fiercely. Duke George, picking himself up almost before he had fallen, was no less indignant than Sir Norman. Drawing his sword, he rushed toward the brave knight and was met willingly enough. The contest was hot between the two antagonists, the other lords pressing against the wall to make way for them. Their swords clashed, and Lady Louise, in the balcony above, shrieked and wrung her hands---------- Dear reader, having supplied you with the setting, your own imagi- nations. we think, can finish the tale. Perhaps we have overlooked much good material in choosing our characters. Look around you and you v ill see many a romance, such as we have pictured for you. Some thrilling scenes as this are being enacted around us every day. SARAH ROCK.

Bill was par excel- lence. He was very popular among the fellows, and was a great success from a business standpoint. He also rendered valuable service by taking the players to and from practice in his car. Bill differed from most managers in that he took an active part in the game and with a little more experience would no doubt have developed into a first class player. However, he did good work running the second team at quar- ter. It is with much regret that we bid Bill adieu. Ninety nine REVIEW OF FOOTBALL SEASON The 1 92 1 season may well be considered a success when the strength and size of our opponents and the inexperience of our men is considered. On September first. Coach Ice with a squad of twenty men departed for Camp Terra Alta where a very successful training camp was held. That the training camp venture was a success was quickly proved, for two weeks after the squad's return the strong Morgantown High team was met and defeated 7-0. The game was very close and was won late in the first quarter when Hank Miller pulled down a long pass and ran twenty-five yards for a touchdown. As a result of this game Fairmont looked forward to a great season. On the following Saturday. Parkers burg, who later won the state championship, was met. Fairmont was on the defensive the entire game and considering the strength of the Parkers- burg team did well to hold it to a 4 1 -0 score. Our first game abroad was played the following Saturday with Grafton. The game was from all standpoints a very gloomy affair. Our lack of the necessary punch, coupled with a muddy field which prevented our use of the overhead offense caused our downfall. The final score was I 4-0. F.lkins was the next team met. She came with the expectation of overwhelmingly defeating us as she had won all previous games in an easy fashion. However, this did not daunt our fellows and although Likins secured a touchdown early in the game the outcome was doubt- ful until the last minutes of play; at one time the ball being in our pos- session on the Likins eight yard line. Although her lone touchdown won the game for F.lkins the loss of this game was no discredit to Fairmont. Overconfidence played a big part in the disaster which we sufferet! in our return game with Morgantown in that city. Because of our pre- vious win we expected an easy victory but instead met a much strength ened team and suffered a 19-7 defeat. A Michie to Lafferty pass in the last minute of play was all that prevented a shut out. The following Tuesday came the real football classic of the season for Fairmont; the Fast Side-Fairmont game. There was much friendly rivalry exhibited by both schools and in all was a day of good fellowship. Dear old Fairmont High played a wonderful game and certainly deserved her 14-7 victory. This win gave Fairmont the city championship. Victory High was next met. at Clarksburg. This team, while not rated very high, was at her best that day but our backs tore through her line and eventually made the touchdown which won the game. Next came perhaps the most important game of the season, that with Mannington. to decide the County Championship. Mannington had a strong well balanced eleven and confidently expected to run away with us. Instead we played a great game and proceeded to administer a 7-0 defeat. Our next game was with Buckhannon, one of the strongest teams in the state. After the tiresome ride there, on a snow covered field we were beaten back by their heavier and more experienced team and suffered a 28-0 defeat. We put up a splendid fight the second half and they had great difficulty securing one touchdown. Against the powerful Weston team, which had defeated East Side “ 7-7. Fairmont gave her best and played what was probably her best game of the season. For four long quarters the tide moved first one way then the other and when the game ended neither team had scored. The season was rounded up on Turkey Day when we met Wash- ington Irving High of Clarksburg. After a hard struggle in the mud of South Side Park we were defeated by our much heavier opponents 26-0. The game was not as one sided as the score indicates, our boys putting up a splendid battle against great odds. This game not only ended the season but the High school football career of such players as: Miller, Brett, Gainer. Williamson and Gump. It is with the greatest regret that we bid them farewell.

Ice—Athletic Director Fairmont High is indeed fortunate in having for its coach such a man as Frank Ice. Mr. Ice came to us two years ago from the State University, where he had made an enviable repu- tation as an athlete, and was made football coach. This year he was made director of all athletics and no better man could have been chosen for the place. Mr. Ice is an ardent believer in clean athletics and therein lies the reason for the respect which the entire school holds for him. Charles Chenoweth Williamson—Captain, Center No better man could have been chosen to pilot the team than Cheney. Cheney was a clean, gritty player and as such was a source of inspiration to his men. He was recognized as one of the best centers throughout the state, being especially adept at passing and tackling. It was he who kept the line fighting and broke up many of our opponents' plays. This is Cheney’s last year and in his going we lose one of the finest athletes who ever fought for Fairmont High. One hundred two Dwight Lafferty—Quarter Dwight's popularity had much to do with his success as quarter- back. When called upon by him. the fellows did their best. Although small and light and with little experience, he was started at quarter and soon proved his mettle. He was one of our most spectacular players, being the best side-stepper and end-runner on the team. He was equally good on the defense, stopping all who succeeded in passing the rest of the team. We announce with pleasure that he will be with us next year. Beryl Straight—Guard Straight was one of the biggest fellows on the team and was well fitted for his position. He got a late start but by the end of the season was one of our best men. He used his hands well and charged low. He will return next year and will no doubt prove a valuable man. Chalmers Reich—Half-Back ''Chim is one of our best athletes and as might be expected quickly made good in football. From the start he played a great game and one Half at least seemed well taken care of. when he was unfortunate enough to break his finger and later his collar bone. We expect great things of him next year. Myers Nichols—Guard A better guard than Myers would be hard to find. With practically no experience he came out this year and soon developed into a whirl- wind player. He was in every play usually being bottom man in the pile- up. Being an unusually good tackier and putting his all into the game made him feared by our opponents. He was equally good on the offense making great holes for the back-field to plunge through. He has two more years and is expected to make one of the best guards in the state. One hundred three George Cole—Tackle George was without a doubt the best tackle on the team and was one of the few who played in every game without time being called for him. He was played at practically every position on the team and always played his usual steady game. With his interest in athletics and his willingness to work he should be one of our best men next year. Aubert Gainor—End Gainer, as Wright last year, came from Belington and proved an able successor. He played end on the offense and half on the defense. He excelled in the latter, being one of the best defensive backs on the team. Tackling the runner on the line of scrimmage and knocking down forward passes were his strongest points, his ability to size up plays aid- ing him much in this. On the offense he was best at giving interference and catching forward passes after which he was almost sure to gain much ground because of his speed and ability to side-step. John Callahan—End By the hardest kind of fighting only was Callahan able to clinch his position over a great amount of competition. He got a late start but by the end of the season developed into a powerful end. He was a deadly tackier and could smash interference unusually well. He was also a fast man under punts and could be depended upon to get his man. bight, seemed to be his maxim and he certainly lived up to it. He is a Sophomore and much is expected of him in the future. Thomas Brett—Guard 1' °r the last two years. Coach Ice has had very little to worry him as regards the guard position held by Tom Brett. Tom is another ex- ample of what it means by sticking to a thing. Although not a fast man he usually got the jump on his opponent and took him back. In fact. Tom could do almost all a guard is required to do and was a valuable man. This was Tom's last year, much to our regret. One hundred four Oliver Miller—Half-Back, End Of all the football players who ever wore the old blue and white, none is more deserving of praise than Hank Miller. In him is embodied all that is fair and square in athletics. Hank was a sure tackier, an ex- cellent line plunger, a pass receiver of note, and set back our opponents many a yard by his punting. He had played practically every position on the team and his experience was of great value to it. This is Hanks last year and his place will be hard to fill. Hugh Michie—Full-Back, End A newcomer in school this year was Michie who quickly proved himself one of our best athletes. He was played at end and on the de- fense and a better one would be hard to find. His ability to size up plays plus his sure tackling, made it difficult for our opponents to get around his end. At half-back he also played a good game, being a swift line-plunger and end runner, and throwing forward passes with unusual skill. Richard Parrish—Half-Back With practically no experience at the beginning of the present school term ‘‘Dick’’ showed his ability by proving himself one of the few de- pendable back-field men on the squad. He was a deadly tackier and could always be relied upon to make the necessary gain. Next year will be his last in Fairmont High, and we are predicting for him a very enviable record. ■ One hundred five Robert Crowl—Quarter-Back Pep while being the smallest fellow on the squad was a very hard worker and deserves much credit for his excellent showing against much larger players. 1 he experience gained while playing on the second team this year together with his interest in the game and his natural ability should make him a strong contender for the varsity next year. Wiley Garrett—Tackle, End Another man who made good his first year in High School was Garrett. He was first tried at end but was later shifted to tackle where he played a good game. Although rather light for this position he got through our opponents' line many times, and broke up many plays before they were under way. He was one of our fastest men under a punt and usually got his man. With a little more practice at tackling he should become a valuable man. Carroll Michaels—End Michaels was another valuable addition to the team from Barrack- ville. He was good at getting around interference and stopping the run- ner in his tracks. On a play around his end. he could be depended upon to take his man out. leaving the runner a clear path. He had a cool head and could grab down passes in almost any mixup. He was a clean, hard player and was well liked by the members of the team. One hundred aix Aubrey Taylor—Tackle The most cheerful and easy-going player on the team without a doubt was Taylor, who did almost as much good by keeping up the spirits of the players as by his playing. Considering that he was but a Freshman and with little previous experience his record was unusually good. Breaking through the line and tackling the runner for a loss was his strong point. With more experience he will, no doubt, develop into a powerful line man. Clifton Gump—Tackle, Guard Gump came to us from Barrackville. He played either tackle or guard equally well, breaking up many of our opponents’ plays which came through the line, being an unusually good tackier. He was a Senior and his playing will be greatly missed next year. Edward Wraase—End One of the most promising candidates for one terminal position this year was Wraase. From the start he exhibited an excellent brand of football and the prospect for a great year for him looked very bright until the F.lkins’ game in which he was unfortunate enough to break his arm, an occurrence which the entire school regretted. One hundred seven Beckett Martin—Half-Back Beckett may well be called the grittiest player on the team. With a handicap which would have daunted any fellow, he came out, gave his best and developed into an excellent player. He was an unusually good tackier and although unable to cover the ground very rapidly was hard to get past. In the Clarksburg game he was at his best in defensive work. We will all be sorry to lose him. H- Owen Miller—Half-Back All things come to him who strives. The truth of this maxim was very well personified by Owen Miller. Although apparently not fitted for a football player, Owen came out for the team every year, and by the hardest kind of work at last gained what he was after. He was al- ways cheerful and willing to help the other fellow. We are all sorry to have him leave. One hundred eight Walter Glover—Manager When Glover was elected manager, the basketball team was assured of success so far as the managing end was concerned. His popularity and interest in the team, coupled with his managing ability, made him of in- estimable value to it. Glover was held in high respect by his fellow students and was an honor to his class. One hundred nine Oliver Miller—Captain, Center Captain Miller, who might well be termed our best athlete, was the mainstay of this year's team. His steadiness and aggressive spirit, with other abilities, made him a great leader and player. Fairmont High will miss him more than any athlete who has graduated for years, and our interest will follow him. George Cole—Guard Cole was one of the two men from last year's team, and his ex- perience made him one of the dependable men of the season. His posi- tion at guard was largely responsible for the many low scores of op- posing teams. With another year to play we predict for him a great record. Jay Pierce—Forward Pierce, playing his first year with the team, soon distinguished him- self at finding the basket. From the forward position his long shots from difficult angles stood out above the work of the rest of the team. Another year s experience should make his position undisputed. Wiley Garrett—Guard Garrett entered a Freshman this year and broke into the line-up from the beginning; alternating at the forward position quite regularly. Garrett has the makings of a first class player and with the polish that more experience will give him. should become a valuable man. Frank Romino—Guard, Forward Romino, besides furnishing the chief source of amusement when in the game also produced some real basket-ball. His stature, together with his shooting, made him a valuable man, particularly in getting through the five man defense. He will no doubt play a great game next year. Dwight Lafferty—Forward Lafferty was another, while not winning a regular berth, was of the kind who is necessary to the success of a team. His spirit of un- selfishness coupled with his natural ability made him a strong player. We predict a great future for him. ¥ Hugh Michie—Forward, Center Michie, though a sophomore, played his first season on the varsity team and was a valuable man indeed. He filled the center position most of the time in great style and was the most consistent point getter on the team being particularly good from the foul line. He has the promise of a great player. Chalmers Reich—Guard Reich made his appearance late in the season, but when he did come out immediately broke into the line-up and was a welcome addition to the squad. With his action and experience he could have been a fixture all year. His future as an athlete is extremely bright. Carroll Michaels—Guard This was Michaels first year at wearing the blue and white as he attended Barrackville High last year. Although not a regular, he con- tributed much to the team and was a dependable substitute. The spirit of fight he always showed was highly commendable and Fairmont High is proud to claim him as one of her athletes. One hundred ten RECORD OF GAMES At Home Jan. 7. F. H.

Fairmont High or- ganized a basketball league for the express purpose of developing and getting a line on the basketball material in the school. This was neces- sary because of a lack of experienced players. There was a large number of candidates for each class team and much interest was exhibited both by the players and by the students. After the regular schedule and a very interesting and exciting tournament had been played, the Sophomores, with an unusually well balanced team, emerged the champions. Coach Ice selected about twenty players, who had made the best showing in the league, as candidates for the regular squad. Freshman Team W raase Taylor Carrico Garrett Leonard Junior Team Lafferty Cole Ross Delsardo Hawkins Crowl Sophomore Team Romino Pierce Michie Patterson Dean Senior Team Miller Michaels Gainer Cooper Riheldaffer Martin One hundred twelve James Barrett—Cheer Leader For the past several years, Fair- mont High has been fortunate in having good cheer leaders and this year’s cheer leader, “Red Barrett, was not an ex- ception. “Red” was elected to the post last year and was naturally chosen again this year. He was a combination of pep, wit and good nature and as a cheer leader would be hard to beat. He attended every game and under bis leadership the cheering that was done was a source of inspiration to the ath- letes. One hundred thirteen MONONGAHELA VALLEY BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT On February 24th and 25th, the Third Annual Monongahela Valley Basketball Tournament was held in this city. This year, twenty-six teams were represented, and these teams played thirty-one, swift and spirited games, for the silver loving cup and the various other prizes. The games began on February 24th, sixteen games being played that day. In the second game of the series. Fairmont had little trouble in defeating West Monongah, the score being 29-9. On February 25 th, the second day of the tournament, Fairmont met Buchannon, but the Wood County team proved the stronger and defeated our fellows by the score 36-15. In the afternoon the big surprise came, when Morgantown de- feated Buckhannon, the tournament favorite, by the close score of 20-17. On the evening of the 25th, the semi-finals and finals were played. In the semi-finals Elkins defeated Morgantown 23-19, and Fairview de- feated East Side, 22-13. Everything was now ready for the game everyone had been look- ing forward to. during the tournament, the game to decide the cham- pionship of Monongahela Valley. The game was fought spiritedly by both Elkins and Fairview. but the latter proved the stronger and won 25-21. Fairview was presented with the silver loving cup, and each mem- ber of the team received a gold basketball, while the members of the Elkins team received silver basketballs. JUNIOR TEAM One hundred fourteen STATE BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT The ninth annual state basketball tournament was held at Buckhan- non on March I 6. 1 7 and I 8. Fairmont, in her first game was unfortunate, and drew Weston. In this game our fellows showed some unexpected strength but they were unable to keep pace with the Weston team and in the end the score ran up in Weston's favor 24-17 eliminating us from the tournament. East Side had better luck in the drawing. She defeated Man- nington but then ran into Fairmont’s stumbling block. Weston, and was likewise defeated. Fairview, the Valley champs, ran true to form and for a while it looked as though the winner would be from Marion County. After de- feating Wheeling and Charleston they met Clendenin in the semi-finals, but for some reason they were unable to get going and were defeated by the score of I 7-25. This left Buckhannon and Clendenin to play the finals, which was won by the former, giving them the Cup for keeps. SOPHOMORE TEAM One Hundred fifteen BASE BALL Because of its popularity, baseball, after being discontinued a year, has again been revived and the prospects for a successful season are extremely bright. There is a large amount of promising material in the school and much interest is being exhibited. Among the most likely material are: Pitchers-Criss, Lafferty and Putnam. Infielders—Michaels, first base; Sloan, second base; Putnam, third base; Lafferty, short stop; Gainer, catcher. Outfielders—Reed. Martin, Cole. Ross. Pierce. Ashby.
