 AVEy g. % s- £eaI t'AROM where did our school seal come ? In ' answering this question we all take our hats off to Mr. Ensel Hawkins, a very popular member of our faculty. In thinking of a worthwhile project for mechanical drawing in the Spring of 1922, Mr. Hawkins decided to work out a seal for Fairmont High School. He began by gathering ideas from commercial stamps and labels on jars. Together with these and literature on the structure of seals, he used this idea for class study for about two weeks. Then he had six boys work out seals from their own original ideas, later drafting them into a best one. All then worked on one. Many worked out clever and attractive sketches but Chalmer Reich had the best. Mr. Hawkins, also worked out a seal of his own idea. Later he sent Chalmers and his own to the engravers, leaving it to their judgment as to which was the better. They chose that of Mr. Hawkins which is the one we have today. Mr. Hawkins then had seals made in blue and white, the school colors, and used them as merit stamps for work in his department. In 1923 Mr. Buckey decided it would be a good idea to adopt for the whole school, using it as a reward for exceptionally excellent written work. This was most appropriate, for the seal in itself with its “torch in the center of “F. H. S. might well mean the light or the intellect of the school and. too, that F. H. S. is a light and service to our community. This seal gives our school a mark of individuality and distinction that few- high schools can boast of. It is to Mr. Hawkins that we owe this. We commend him for starting such a worthwhile, constructive movement and ending it so splendidly. He, as in all his work in Fairmont High School, showed here a broad vision of use- fulness, in designing a seal so artistic and meaningful. In planning this book, the Maple Leaves staff dug into their minds for original ideas as to theme and finance. One autumn afternoon we hit upon the seal as full of possibilities. Here was our color scheme and motif for decorative purposes. And further, in taking the seal as the big idea for our book, we would make it more a part of us, we would bring Mr. Hawkins's idea into more prominence; and we would carry out in a very definite wav our Junior English Work-Shop slogan: The will to work for man. 1 9 £5 Thirteen
