VVe have taken as our theme Memories of l93O. We are sure no school can hoast of a finer campus than ours. So, in all our views and art work we have tried to portray familiar beauty spots and scenes to he found within our school environ- ment. Attractive surroundings, however. without our friends, could prove very dull indeed. Therefore, our aim has heen. to make our hook live, also. through the large numher of photographs-lmoth of individuals and organizations. May we all. as we peruse this hook in after years, experience anew the thrills, enjoyment and pleasures which have heen ours together in this, the most significant year of Fairmont High School history.

Dedication W ,l-112 staFf experienced neither difficulty nor dissension, when N i i the question of dedication of the 1931 Maple Leaves came 'l X' ' ' up. ln this book Memories of 1930 in which we have tried to portray the beauty of our new building in its glorious set- ting, no one should receive more credit than our Superintendent, Otis G. VVilson, and no one is more deserving of hiffh hour r 5 3, J . For fifteen years he has served faithfully and well in Fair- mont. .l-le has worked persistently and untiringly for the better- ment of the school system. ln the accomplishment of this he has made many friends. Pupils respect him, teachers revere him, while the citizens of the community hold him in high esteem. Teachers, especially. recognize him as a true and loyal friend. In the completion of an outstanding building program, his ac- complishments are most evident. ln this he has shown rare judg- ment, vision, and ability. After years of careful planning, re- search, and thought, the work was begun in the spring of 1928. One year later four beautiful buildings were completed-coiw modious, artistic and modern in every respect-standing as silent tributes to the man who was most instrumental in their realization. It is with pleasure therefore, that we, the members of the Class of 1931 of Fairmont Senior High School, dedicate this volume of Maple Leaves to our highly respected and much be- loved Superintendent. Otis Guy VVilson.
