 A Battle Ground By MILDRED LOLSK SATTKRF1F.L1) '27 Prise poem for “Maple Leaves” v Dear Fairmont High stands on a knoll Where once the Indians fought— ( The Shawnees and the Delawares) ’Twas victory here they sought. The maple tree which stands outside Is full of bullet lead. Which, though we listen now, wide-eyed. Shot many an Indian dead. The campus, which is green today, Then was red with blood, With bullets striking everywhere, With a heavy, leaden thud. Yes, this legend is very sad, But think what it was then. When that hard battle here was fought. Between the redskin men. Instead of Indians battling now, We students brave are fighting To get an education good. Which yet is most exciting. Oh. Faitmont High is noted In history and in lore It holds much secret wealth untold. Which we knew not before. 1 9 £5 Eight
