Seize, take it! It is the key to this, the book of golden memories. Do not grasp harshly with view to criticism. We, no matter how versed in erudition, possess the all too human faults. We lay this, our edition of the end of the second stage of life, full of youth- ful fancies, tinged with stark realities, before you. May the Gods dismiss all ponderosity. First we must mount our ethereal steeds, the clouds of fancy and sentiment, and drift back- ward to the days of chivalry—backward to the court of King Arthur, the monarch with arable mind, unimpeachable ethics, and abstemious opin- ions. Fundamentally, the adventurers of old were divided into three classes; namely, Kings and noble Lords, Knights mounted on fiery steeds, and Squires who aided the Knights with ever- ready spear. The classes in this order corre- spond (as we have arranged) to seniors, mighty Lords who hold dominion over sea and land; juniors, adventurers, studies of knightly grace; and sophomores, squires, aspirants to knighthood and nobility. King Arthur was ever surrounded by good and faithful knights. These knights personified Loyalty — Arthur, Purity. He won his lands through this Loyalty and through this Purity, guided by Merlin, the wizard. Today, by these words we do not wish to assert egotism, we are guided similarly by our faculty. In our everyday life they advise us, whether they realize it or not, to discipline our minds and prepare us for life’s solemn dance. But enough of this! We are robbing you of your share of burnished remembrances while you are filled with depths of contented melancholy, and a symphony creates tender, wandering thoughts. We have accepted our challenge; on high is held our torch. The diminishing vigor or blindness of youth shall keep alive this flame until we shall toss the torch dimmed by the dis- appearing power to our posterity to leap again to its full height. The power will someday wane so low that grasping hands, craving for the flame of Youth, will clutch in vain and slipping, will fall into the misty depths from whence all repe- tition springs. The Great Certainty will once again have obtained its prey. Thus with a sound mind and a youthful body did Arthur grasp the sword from the Lady of the Lake, starting his career. Thus do we begin our reminiscence. DEDICATION HREE years ago, there came into our midst one who has since shown to us in many ways his true ability, bj his leadership, help, suggestions, and en- couragement. He has strived in every way to improve our school system and to make our work a more pleasant task. This man whom we now know as our super- intendent of schools, was educated at Dickinson College, in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, where he re- ceived his Bachelor of Arts degree, and at Co- lumbia University, in New York City, where he was awarded a Master of Arts degree. He served faithfully for twelve years as the superintendent of the Parkersburg schools, before coming to Fairmont. During the time he has been with us, his help has been silently administered, without being realized by the students directly; yet always his guiding presence is felt. This year, more than ever before, we have .noticed the many contribu- tions of this helper, for he has been in closer contact with us continually, since the offices of the board of education have been moved to our own school building. We of the junior class think of this adminis- trator as the knights thought of Merlin. The knights did the actual deeds, met the foe and received the glory, if the winners; but back of the act was the steady, unerring direction of Merlin, who, sure of his action, expected no par- ticular attention or praise, and did not receive it. It is, therefore, with great pleasure and pride that we, the 1934 Class of Fairmont Senior High School, respectfully dedicate this pictorial record of our junior year to Mr. Harry E. Odgers. CONTENTS ADMINISTRATION CLASSES ORGANIZATION ATHLETICS FEATURES ADVERTISING OUR CASTLE AAA HE CASTLE originated in the de- sire for a safe place in which to dwell and in which to store valu- able possessions. Here leaders gathered their forces about them and were prepared to protect their properties and to war upon their opponents. There is striking simil- arity in those castles of old and our own castle of today—Fairmont Senior High School. In this castle are stored the most precious possessions of the world—Char- acter, Knowledge, Service. Here, gathered under the ablest of leaders, are the forces to protect and increase those wealths, forces to assimilate them that they may be propagated and intensified throughout the domain, forces that annihilate all that is detrimental to them. In building a castle every advantage was taken of position. Sometimes a castle would be built upon almost inaccessible crags to insure against invaders, and al- though we have no need of mountains and moats, the situation of the castle has in- deed exerted an influence upon the un- conquerable spirit of its inhabitants. No heavy drawbridge spans a deep moat threatening invaders, but instead stone and rustic bridges span shallow streams, and tiny hills and valleys surround the fort. Just as King Arthur gathered about him the Youth of all countries to defend the ideals and the principles of his court and spread them to the rest of the world, so were we brought together by our su- periors to uphold the standards of the court of our own castle, to further its prin- ciples, and to attain all that toward which we have been striving. “At times the spires and turrets halfway down Prick'd thro' the mist; at times the great gate shone Gareth and Lynette I Wi ADMINISTRATION AAA HDNG ago there was a brave and no- ble King who was honored and praised by all. He was always glad to do a service for his friend. When anything had gone wrong, he undertook all responsibilities to see that everything was carried out so as to make peace and have everyone contented with his deeds. He looked on all misfortunes with sorrow, but not with despair. This wise monarch was known as King Arthur. Our very own principal, Mr. Buckey, might readily be compared to this great man. He is always kind and gentle, and ever ready to do the right thing. Mr. Buckey has proved that he would do any possible task to help each and every stu- dent. As the story goes, King Arthur’s friend, Sir Kay, had started to the tournament when he realized that he had left his sword behind. Others laughed at this young man for riding to a tournament without his weapon, but Arthur, the true friend that he was, turned back to get his comrade’s sword. On returning he found the house locked, but rather than disappoint Sir Kay, he made every possible effort to obtain a sword and finally succeeded. Mr. Buckey, likewise, would do everything in his power, in such a case, to be of help to any friend. At one time Arthur made a great feast, and there he set up what is called the Round Table and called to it all valiant and gentle men who would stand round their King and protect the weak and pun- ish the tyrant. This Round Table was no mere act of amusement but a very profit- able achievement. With high ceremony, Arthur called his knights and made them, not servants of himself, but of Christ, the King. The purpose of the Round Table was that all be equal and treated the same in every respect. In this manner no one would get special attention or make the others feel in any way inferior. All of the teachers make up the helpers of our King Arthur, Mr. Buckey. They all work for the fulfillment of The Round Ta- ble and for the betterment of the castle. Long live the King! and may he and his Round Table meet with incomparable gain! MR. W. E. BUCKEY MISS SADIE CROWL Every Fairmont Senior High student knows and realizes the merits of our secretary, Miss Sadie Crowl. She is the friend oi all who know her, and no visitor to our school can miss the courtesy and friendship of her manner. Miss Crowl is a graduate of the Fairmont State Teachers’ College, and in the years she has served as secretary of the high school, she has worked up an enviable reputation as an able and efficient school secretary. With precision and accuracy the work in the school office is carried out each day, and if not by her directly, it is under her careful direction and supervision. Our King Arthur should indeed be thankful that he has so able a secretary to take care of the routine affairs of his subjects. She is the friend of the whole kingdom. Squire, Knight, Feudal Lord, all receive the same consideration and service from her. We of the junior class have been greatly benefited by our secretary, and we sincerely wish that she will be attended in her work of the future by the same success that she has had in the past. Mr. Buckey, who in our castle of learning is a modern King Arthur, has showed his loy- alty to his court, the teachers; and to his serv- ants, the students, for which he is respected and obeyed. He is not the type who makes laws and tries to enforce them with an iron hand; but he uses a much more effective way of merely asking that certain things be obeyed, and almost ev- erytime his wishes are carried out. He is cour- teous, intelligent, friendly, and thoughtful; and everyone is proud to be considered one of his many friends. Mr. Buckey is very understanding and al- ways tries to help the students. He has a pleas- ing personality and an outstanding character for which he is worthy of much comment. No matter when or where you chance to meet him during the day, he will always greet you with a broad smile. There is not a student in Fair- mont Senior High that Mr. Buckey does not know by name. He is always busy, but never too busy to give any student or visitor his un- divided attention. We sincerely hope that Mr. Buckey will have much luck and meet with loads of success in the years to come. BENJAMIN D. KAHN, B. S., A. M. Fairmont, W. Va.

(JEAN WILSHIRE ) JACK ROWAND i ELIZABETH HARDESTY JOHN ULLOM I BETTY JANE MOORE (JOHN FEAR JACK ROWAND ....JEAN WILSHIRE JE Student Council consists of represen- tatives of the student body, elected by the popular vote ot the class which they represent. There are two representa- tives from each class, one boy and one girl. The aim of this organization is: “To create and maintain a strong school spirit among the student, and to promote better relationship be- tween the faculty and the student body.” This organization was formed about nineteen years ago, and each year it has grown stronger and better in the understanding of its duties and is now one of the most important factors of the school’s government. This year, in order to establish a uniform commencement invitation, the Student Council met with the senior committee on invitations in order to establish a satisfactory one for the next three years. The Council wishes to establish a precedent by which more students in our high school may obtain letters. Heretofore boys on the football and basketball teams, and girls obtaining a cer- tain amount of points were the only ones who received letters. An attempt is now being made to give a larger representation of the students a chance to make a letter by awarding a letter to members of the tennis, track, and several other teams. This will be done by setting up certain standards in each field. The Student Council is a necessary part of the high school’s organization. It provides the link between the administration and the students as well as assisting in the activities of the school. 15 f CLASSES AAA TJ7|E are in England, during the reign SR of Arthur, among Feudal Lords, Knights, and Squires; and though -sxsLl actuaiiy those nobles are not here, their spirit is present with us, around a table of such deeds as that established by King Arthur. All they embodied has been repeated, elevated to the greatest heights, in the senior class, and their position is just as noble, and respected, and coveted as the throne of former Lords. In the manner of Launcelot fulfilling a quest, with no thought to danger, like Tristram and Gareth upon missions demanding the best of Knights, do the seniors assume respon- sibilities, shoulder difficulties, and by their accomplishments set an example inevitable that we follow. The ideals of knighthood were symbol- ized in their weapons. To speak of his sword is to speak of the Knight, his faith. Golden spurs were his special badge of honor, forbidden all of lesser rank; so is the juniors’ name indicative of their stand- ing. The shaft of the spear symbolized truth, its iron head, strength. The integ- rity of this class embodies all those an- cient weapons signified. The helmet sug- gested modesty; spurs, diligence; only modesty tempers the advancement of this group, and proof of the latter is the high average of the junior class and their past accomplishments. The sophomores, too, pattern their predecessors, King Arthur’s Squires. They had graduated from the rank of page, first stage preparatory for knighthood, to the higher, more dignified rank of Squire. In the same way have the sophomores passed the initial period of development and ad- vanced nearer their ambition. The Squire attended a noble whom he held as an ideal, one he considered himself privileged to serve. He aided his Lord and relinquished his sword or horse when his master’s was gone. These same qualities prevail in the sophomore class. They follow the exam- ple of their superiors with characteristic earnestness, and they show the same loy- alty and unselfishness displayed by Squires of that earlier day. 17 SENIOR CLASS The Feudal Lords in power this year have been outstanding in many fields. Olan Hedrick is not only popular among the students, but he is our star football and basket- ball player. Leona Gates was joke editor of the “Maple Leaves” of 1933 and a member of the cast of “Husbands on Approval.” Maxwell Sutton undertook much of the re- sponsibility of putting on the vaudeville for the “Maple Leaves” staff; and if only for this, we owe him much praise, for it was a great success and a great help to the staff. Now we, the “Maple Leaves” staff, represent- ing the junior class, must undertake the hard task of bidding the seniors goodbye. It is a cool world they will face when leaving us, owing to the conditions of the present time; but they are not the type to be discouraged, for every member of this class has proved that he can be successful if he wishes. During the three years in our school they have had a taste of life and at times have been AAA President........................OLAN HEDRICK Vice President.....................LEONA GATES Secretary-Treasurer......MAXWELL SUTTON Honor, prestige, knowledge, all, Distinctive traits of Kings, Prove they the feeling can recall That task completed brings. discontented and discouraged, but everytime they have pulled through without fail. This class, besides being the largest ever graduated from Fairmont Senior High School, was the first class to enter this school from Junior High. Some of the best athletes ever produced in Fairmont are members of this class, and we know that they will do “big things” in the athletic world and make places for themselves. These seniors have made a lasting impression on the other students by displaying outstanding examples of fellowship, sportsmanship, and scholarship. At the close of this year, when the seniors walk up to receive their diplomas, they can look back on their years in high school and have a feeling that they have accomplished everything they set out to undertake. Again we say emphatically, “Good-bye, sen- iors, and may you have all of the luck and suc- cess in life, and may each and everyone attain his ambition.” 18 KENNETH JARRETT PAUL WOOD He is a study of dependability.

As a last word to our departing Feudal Barons, we, the Squires and Knights who are remaining here in this modern castle of King Arthur, wish them continued suc- cess as they travel across the drawbridge of graduation and out to the combat with Life. In the days of the Round Table, as each chivalrous knight passed through the training course provided in the castle, he left, with a blessing from those remaining, on a definite mission which he had him- self chosen. Our modern Crusaders of learning also leave our school, with the best wishes of those remaining here, upon vocations which they themselves wish to undertake. We wish each and every one the success he deserves. May they always live up to our expec- tations, and remember to uphold the honor and prestige of the Fairmont Senior High School.

Jack Kern was editor of “Maple Leaves” this year, and a member of the cast of “Digging up the Dirt.” He was president of the sophomore class last year. Albert Bailey was active in athletics. He played both football and basketball this year. Wayne Parsons was in the junior play, “Dig- ging up the Dirt.” This year, like every year, the school annual, “Maple Leaves,” was published by the junior class. The staff was confronted by many seri- ous problems, and for this reason, work was started later than usual. At the first of the year, the class voted against publishing the book, owing to the present conditions. Later the question was brought up again before the junior class, and it was decided that with much cooperation and support of the students they would be able to carry on the tradition of publishing the school annual. AAA President...........................JACK KERN Vice President....................ALBERT BAILEY Secretary-Treasurer............WAYNE PARSONS The Knights have such ideals today As had their peers of old, Thus do these ideals portray The virtue that they hold. The junior play, “Digging up the Dirt,” was very successfully portrayed by a large cast from the junior class. The players displayed outstand- ing ability in acting, and much praise was given them. There has seldom been a class that excels in so many various fields as does this class. They have been outstanding in scholarship, athletics, sportsmanship; and many individual members have been leaders in clubs and school activities. The athletic prospects for next year look very encouraging. Both the football and basketball teams of this year were largely made up of juniors. This junior class is unusually large, having a total of 239 members. The juniors are leaving accomplishments and achievements which will be recorded in the annals of history of Fairmont Senior High School. The sophomores will automatically take the place of the juniors next year, and likewise the juniors will advance to the coveted center section of the auditorium which is always occupied by the “dignified seniors.” JANE LANSDALE She will always he outstanding in everything she does.

LEROY WILBURN, CHARLES WILFONG, HERMAN WILSON, JUNIOR “Haplp lErmtra” ffitgliluito AAA BHE “MAPLE LEAVES,” a yearly pub- lication, has been published twenty-five consecutive years by the junior class. Every year the staff works earnestly to have a better book than ever before. Very few people who are not members of the staff realize the great responsibility involved in putting out a yearbook. Every student looks forward to the time when the book will be back frcm the printers and ready for distribution. When this time has come, con- fusion reigns in the halls, for everyone is anx- ious to see his friends’ pictures (to say nothing of his own) and to get his book signed by his fellow students. Let us glance back to the first “Maple Leaves” which was published in 1908. It was much smaller than our yearbooks of today. The cover of the book was made of thin brown paper. There were very few individual pictures, most of the pictures being groups. About half of the annual was made up of advertisements. We come across a football team, largely made up of boys who are now prominent business men. Ernest Bell was captain, Frank Amos, right tackle, and Frank Prichard, center. Bob McCoy was manager of the team. The players are all wearing “turtleneck” sweaters, (they seem to be back in style again). The picture of the basketball team of 1910 looks rather “rare” to us now, although at the time it was taken, it would have been lar from a laughing matter. The jerseys were worn on the outside, and the shorts looked like knickers. We also find evidence which seems to show us that in 1910 “Maple Leaves” was a monthly publication. It was about the size of a menu or football program, and contained twenty-four pages. Next we find the “Maple Leaves” of 1913, a very attractive book with a brown suede cover, and the letters, “Maple Leaves,” in gold. An- other outstanding feature of this book is that the class colors, with a gold seal, precede each class. In the “Maple Leaves” of 1918 we encounter a very demure picture of our friend, Louise Rock, wearing a middy-dress and a large bow on her hair. We also see that she was a “live-wire” of the junior class. In the “Maple Leaves” of 1920, there are sev- eral pages of comic cartoons representing the students. From 1927, the annuals have had heavy covers. In fact, there has been very little change in the appearance of the book, up to this time. Among the seniors we see Evelyn Allard, Helen Amos, Bill Schimmel, Sara Evans, Bob Powell, and many others who are now popular young business men and women. In this same book we find Gibson Henderson (now a student at W. V. U.) among the members of the student council, wearing a belted suit and short trousers. In the 1928 “Maple Leaves” there are many athletes, who are now active members of college or independent teams. Some of them are Bill Kirchman, Alpheus Haymond, Frank Holdren, John Cranwell, Gene Wright, and countless others. Earl Jackson and Mary Belle Haggerty were among the couples. In the same book, Helen Lake was voted the best looking girl and Bill Kirchman the best looking boy. We could go on forever discussing the past annuals; but as time and space are limited, we have skimmed over the books, choosing things of interest that we thought would give a “bird’s eye view” of the “Maple Leaves” of the past.

The three Squires chosen by their classmates to be the leaders fer the year ol preparation for knighthood have proved themselves upholders of high ideals. Jack Manley was one of the few sophomores to participate in the oratorical contest, in which he displayed exceptional ability. Jessie Lee Compton was a member of the cast of “Jerry of Jericho Road” and is an active member of her class. Teresa Nash has contributed several articles which were published in Hi-Life. Every year we are glad to see our new school mates, the sophomores, enter school, but this year we have been especially glad and also very proud of them. This class brought many outstanding students to our school who have cooperated with the upper- classmen in helping to uphold the high standards of Fairmont Senior High School. It is always characteristic of sophomores to be enthusiastic at the beginning of the year partly because they feel their insignificance in compari- son with the upperclassmen, and also because they realize that they are no longers members of Junior High but students in Senior High School. Unusual for first year students, they have continued to keep up their enthusiasm throughout the entire year. When there is any volunteer work to be done, the sophomores, are ever ready to lend their as- sistance wholeheartedly; and with all of their might, they do their best. They are very active in school life and par- ticipate in all activities. Many sophomores are on the Hi-Life advertising staff, football and bas- ketball teams, and active members of various clubs. They not only take part in these activities, but all cf thsir work is well done and no task is neglected by them. Miriam Keller, a sophomore, made the second highest average in the school for the first semes- ter. Betty Bell, another sophomore, made third highest. At the end of the year we shall look upon the accomplishments of this class with pride, and we hope they meet with the same success their last two years in high school as they have their sophomore year. 52 Frances Miller William Stevens Betty Jane Moore Frank Watkins J ESSIE Compton Menelaus Francesco Charles Witt Mary Bernaldo Kenneth Arnett Mildred Ellis Glen Brown Eleanor Childs Billie Wood Reedie Miller Laura Kuhn DeLloyd Vincent Beulah Hall Andrew Hauge Highland Tetrick Martha Graham James Hawkins Avis N UTTER Nick Monell Marie Christopher Tillie Stingo Juanita Farinash Maxine Hall Marian Crist Wilda Goff Chilton Price Barbara Davis Gladys Currey Virginia Nutter Anna Henry Joe Holsberry Margaret Pitrola Mary Reiser Joseph Hawkins Nell Mason Teresa Nash Katherine Theis Vella Freeland Clyde Sypult Claire Coffman Virginia Tucker Betty Cross Doretha Clayton Florence McCroskey = 54 Edith Heinze Charles Crist Robert Salter John Neill La co Heinzman Rosie Bissirri Kathryn McKeever Robert Hale Robert Hamilton Jack Manley Howard Franz Martha Gainer W A NET A Shaver Margaret Lyon Mary Margaret Prickett Juanita Stewart Betty Bell Pauline Janes Phyllis Berdine Jane Evans Betty Lee Hamilton Betty Stansbury Mary Palmer Miriam Keller 55 == Edmond Billingham Mary Smith Irene Jevas David Douglass Harriet Rogers Madeline F idler Walter Hupp Margaret Tolnay Mae Stevens James Satterfield Elizabeth Fleming Doris Garrison Mona Hager Helen Sturm James Kerns Dorothy Kinney Wanda Shaver Thomas Robinson Teresa Carlone Anna Nucci Jack Powell Mary Lee McCarty Mildred Neptune Frederick Cole = 56 UNPHOTOGRAPHED SOPHOMORES AAA GIRLS Andrews, Elaine Belt, Louisa Ceccio, Minnie Collins, Juanita Colontino, Minnie Cornelio, Teresa Costello.

After it had appeared, hidden in a blinding beam of light, to King Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table, Sir Percival vowed, as did many others, that because he had not seen the Holy Grail, he would ride a twelvemonth and a day in quest of it until he found and saw it, as his sister the nun had seen it. Galahad, good Sir Bors, Launcelot, Gawaine, and many among the knights started on the quest. This blood-red cup, enshrouded in its luminous cloud stood for purity and noble- ness of soul. It was the goal of these many knights. had said; but Sir Galahad, Sir Percival, and Sir Bors did reach their goal. They beheld the Grail as few had seen it. Thus it is with the clubs. Many in their search for success fall by the way- side, but there are always some who do achieve their end. Last year the National Forensic League rece’ved the plaque with its name engraved upon it. To become an organization in our school the club must be democratic and an asset to the student body. To become a knight, King Arthur’s men had to obey these vows of knight- hood : “To reverence the king as if he were their conscience and their conscience as their God. Every year on Recognition Day a wall plaque is given to the organization of this school which has been the most efficient and which has rendered the most service to the students. This plaque is the symbol of success to the clubs. The societies go out in search for it and work to reach this goal. It is in the organization that the student finds a place to develop leadership, originality, loyalty, and cooperation. Many of the knights that started on the quest were only following wandering fires lost in the quagmire as King Arthur “To bi'eak the heathen and uphold the Christ. “To speak no slander nor listen to it. “To ride abroad redressing human wrong. “To honor their own word as if it were their God’s. “To live sweet lives in purest chastity. “To love one maiden only, cleave to her, and worship her by years of noble deeds until they have won her.” 59 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY AD ASTRA CHAPTER President..........

Membership in this society is based on scholar- ship, service, leadership, and character. jectives of the organization. The students are selected for membership by the faculty of the school. The society is the most outstanding organiza- tion in the school. It is a great honor to be a member. The members are few because of the rigid qualifications that are upheld. On the emblem of the society is a torch around which are the letters, C., S., L., and S, which stand for Character, Service, Leadsrship, and Scholarship respectively. An induction service was held in assembly the first of the year, and another later in the year at which new members were taken in. Soon afterwards charms were purchased by the new members. Students are only eligible the last month of their junior year or the end of the first or last semester of their senior year. They must stand in the first third of their class in the four ob- On April 20, the society gave an assembly program at which a popular orchestra played, and girls from the gym classes danced. The pro- gram was enjoyed immensely by all the students. 60 NATURE CLUB AAA First Semester President......................................CARTER FAUST Vice President.............................NADYA HONCHOROFF Secretary.................................

The winter project of the club was the feed- ing of the season’s birds. Many feeding stations were established. An effort was made to name all the trees on the Fairmont Senior High School campus. This was a very educational enterprise and profitable to all students. The club also collected available wild plants and transplanted them to appropriate places on the campus. 61 ORCHESTRA Adviser.

It has proved its worth many times by its splendid music. The orches- tra played for every assembly program this vear. Its music added much to each one. The orchestra was always willing to play for any event in the school. It played for the oper- etta, the junior play, and the senior play. A very entertaining assembly program was given by this organization in February directed by Mr. Pflock. With his able assistance the or- chestra pleased the students with a half hour of good music. The orchestra has been an organization of the school for many years. It has increased very rapidly which shows the great interest in music. BAND Advisev................. MR.

Whenever they were called upon this year to lend music to any kind of activity, they were there, and “with fife and drum” added materially to the event. The band has grown rapidly in the past few years. It has become an important factor in the musical and athletic life of the school. This organization has played at the football games held at the South Side Ball Park and they also have played at many of the games held away from Fairmont. They have done much to add pep and zest to the occasions as they march- ed down the field in their spic and span uniforms of blue and white, to form the letter F. The band has also been a conspicuous part of many parades and stands as an able advertise- ment of the school. 63 President........... Vice President...... Secretary-T reasurer.

Its purpose is to create a greater interest in correct spelling. Many students who had trouble in spelling and also those students who wished to improve their vocabularies and spell- ing ability here found an aid. Words pertaining to diseases, business, bookkeeping, and farming were studied; commonly misspelled words were especially emphasized. This work was carried on by lively spelling matches. On February 28, the club accompanied by the Commercial Club visited the Bell Telephone office. They were courteously shown through the build- ing and learned many interesting and valuable things about the telephone office. COMMERCIAL CLUB AAA President.......................................................MADELYN COFFMAN Vice President........................................VIRGINIA GOUGH Secretary-Treasurer.............................................DELORES HEADLEY Adviser....................................MISS MILDRED PICKERILL On January 31, some of the members gave a playlet entitled “The Perfect Secretary.” The play portrayed very well the life of a secretary and was well received. February 28, the club members visited the telephone office. They took as their guests the Spelling Club. The visit was very profitable and interesting. At several meetings reports on busi- ness problems were given. The members learned many things of value from these. This club is an enthusiastic group of students working for the advancement of commercial work in school. 65 Members Anna Audia Claire Coffman Edna Currey Virginia Hawkins Louise Janes Katherine Schneider Helen Sherbs Mary Virginia Squires Mary Stuck Rosalia Wegman The purposes of the Commercial Club are to raise the standards in commercial education and to help students to develop poise and initiative. At the meeting on November 31, the problem, “How to get other commercial students interested in the club,” was discussed. Many appropriate methods were suggested.

CALVIN F. FENCIL Members Carroll Amos Alexander Honchoroff Kenneth Arnett James Ridenour Joe Hawkins Thomas Robinson Charles Hawkinberry Charles Stewart DeLloyd Vincent The Radio Club is divided into two sections, short wave and broadcast radio. Much has been done this year in connection with the short wave section, and many short wave receivers have been constructed by the members. Short wave receivers bring in the short waves on high radio frequency stations. The receptions obtained on these are police stations, amateur stations, airplane direction, weather information, and short wave broadcast reception. Short wave receivers bring in distant and foreign stations as well as some locals. A tendency was shown by the members to ob- tain amateur operation licenses issued by the gov- ernment to operate amateur radio sending sta- tions. Used or old broadcast receivers were obtained from local merchants who sell radio supplies. These receivers were set up and put into opera- tion by the members interested in them. The work of the club was very interesting and profitable. The work that was done showed an interest in radio which is one of the largest fields of work today. Many of the boys have done very extensive work, and some of them may chcse this field as their life work. NATIONAL THESPIANS AAA President. IKE BRACKETT Vice President BETTY SMITH Secretary-Treasurer. CLARE LIPSON Adviser 8. I MISS EUNICE LINDERMAN I MISS BETTIE CARPENTER Members Samuel Coughenour Jack Rowand Virginia Fleming Milton Spiro Dorothy Potter Ralph Talbot Playford Robinson John Teti Max Williamson The purpose of the National Thespian Society is to promote interest in high school dramatics. The organization this year has carried out its aim very well. The club gave the play, “Beau of Bath,” which is an annual presentation in Fairmont High School, at the Christmas assembly. Clare Lipson, Ike Brackett, and Milton Spiro portrayed the characters with great sincerity. In March an initiation was held for the new members that were taken in. The initiation was enjoyable as well as instructive. In April the society had a one-act play con- test for the juniors and the sophomores. The ob- ject of this was to give points to students for membership in the club. The plays were pro- duced and directed entirely by the members. This was an opportunity for both the members and the students who participated. Later in the year a three-act play was given by the club. The play showed that there is exceptional talent in the or- ganization. The Thespian Society is one of the most out- standing organizations of the school. It has been in the school for several years, and it has done extensive work throughout that time. To obtain membership students must show acting ability and must participate in some of the school plays.

The Girl Reserve Quest is, “Everywhere, al- ways, in sunshine and shadow, in success, in defeat, we, the Girl Reserves, follow the gleam. If once we fall, we rise to face the light; if once we fail, we fight again to win. We cannot be lonely, we stand together—from North to the farthest South, from East to distant West, ours is the surest Quest—We know the one we follow.” The Club took charge of a refreshment stand at the ball park during football games. The money received was put in the Parent-Teachers’ Student Fund. A Putter Shop was also conducted in which many attractive articles were made. President...... Vice President. Secretary......

MUSGRAVE Members Ike Brackett Doretha Mae Clayton Marian Davis Juanita Farinash Virginia Leonard Finger Anna Jane Knox Nalda Shutts Forrest Talbot Tucker The Forensic League of the Fairmont Senior High School is a chapter of the National organ- ization. The purpose of the club is to promote interest in interscholastic debate, oratory, and public speaking by encouraging a spirit of fellowship and by conferring upon deserving candidates a worthy badge of distinction. This club has car- ried on many interesting forensic contests among its members. Four members took part in the oration con- test, two entered the debate, and one member took part in the extemporaneous speaking con- test held in the Fairmont Senior High School. A debate was also held with the Harrisville High School. The society held several other con- tests along forensic lines with other near-by schools. The league originated the id:a of hold- ing in this high school a straw vote during the 1932 election. 74 QUESTS AAA Like Galahad and many of the rest Who spent their lives upon the sternest quest, Who sought a vision of the Holy Grail And found no obstacle too hard to scale, Like all of them who did their best to reach The loftiest ideals, the Clubs beseech A search for ever higher steps to climb To write a name in annals of all time. i. w. F. ATHLETICS AAA |ITH the sounds of trumoets two knights on horses came riding onto the tourney fields and took their places opposite each other. Both were fully clad in armor, making it diffi- cult for them to be recognized, and had it not been for the unusual design of Sir Launcelot’s shield and Sir Turquine’s blue armor, neither would have been known. They placed their lances in their supports and charged upon each other with breath- taking speed. Launcelot smote Turquine’s shield and received a blow in return. The impact forced both to the ground where they drew swords and did combat. The glamor of the tournament fields, the pavillions arrayed in bright colors and flaunting banners, the songs and music of the crowd—all represented weeks of work and preparation on the part of the partici- pants. Our jousters spend weeks at the training table and on gridiron and basket- ball courts, finally to appear on the tour- ney fields to do combat with the warriors of rival castles. The color and enthusiasm of the scene i-esembles that displayed in days of old. These combats produce skill, courage, and strength in the contestants and make them anxious for praise which they know is, if their work merits it, forth- coming from the spectators who enjoy the spirit of competition. If the warriors fail in combat, they go to their lodgings vow- ing to avenge the defeat. With the “F,” their coat of arms, em- blazed upon their shields, our noble knights have gone forth in past seasons dealing death blows to our foes, each victory seem- ing to bring a little more brightness and luster to the already shining embiem they bear. These brave knights have shown courtesy and sportsmanship at all times, a trait suggestive of their ancient ancestors. We are sure that the warriors of our castle, Fairmont Senior High School, are honored and praised justly for the work they have done in football, basketball, and other sports. We, the nobility of this worthy manor, most certainly appreciate the time and labor contributed by our warriors. We once again honor you, athletes, and assure you that your record will be remem- bered in days to come. 77 FOOTBALL MANAGERS THOMAS NEPTUNE FRANK BILLINGHAM MR.

O’Neale played his best game at W-I where he made his sensational 82-yard run. He leaves us this year. We wish him luck. CLINE—Tackle Astor was one of the most powerful men on the line; he never failed in turning in a good game. Cline will be with us next year. FULTZ—Guard “Buzzy” was in every play, fighting his way through the opposing line, and breaking up plays. Buzz did the Bears’ punting and will be with us next year. THOMPSON—Center “Nifty,” following in the footsteps of Demarco, was one of the best pivot men of any high school team this year. His center position will be hard to fill as he leaves us this year. Nifty received All-State Honorable Mention. RIGGS—Guard “Lockie” played sub-halfback the first part of the season but proved to be an outstanding guard when “Biz” needed him. He was an all- around football player, and his loss this year will be felt. ROW AND—Tackle Jack “Stonky” Rowand, a short, stocky, well- built tackle was a main cog in the Dawson ma- chine. His absence in several games, due to injuries, weakened the team. We hate to see him leave us this year. GANTZ—End “Hotdog” proved a valuable man to Biz. His services were active in every game. Gantz also leaves us, making both ends vacant. These va- cancies will be hard to fill in the forward wall. REED—Quarterback Harry, after playing sub for the first part of the season, broke into the first string lineup. Reed’s offensive work was outstanding, and his good playing kept him on the first team. Reed will be with us next year. WATSON—Halfback Bob, playing steady, good football all season, was one of Coach Dawson’s hardest running halfbacks. He was small but a hard fighter at all times. This is Bob’s second and last year on the squad. SUTTON—Halfback Max was one of the fastest, hardest running backs of the Polar Bear backfield. When yard- age was needed, Sutton was usually called upon. Max will leave us this year. HEDRICK—Fullback “Oley,” playing his fourth and last year as a Polar Bear, proved himself a worthy field gen- eral. Oley was the backbone of the team in every game. Hedrick gained halfback position on the Second All-State Team. SECOND TEAM KIDD—End “Charlie” played his first year as a Polar Bear, breaking into the starting lineup of most of the games. His work at the end position gave the opposing team plenty of fight. This is Char- lie’s last year. KINTER—Tackle “Bud,” a junior, is a very able player at the tackle post. He played in practically all the games; his best performance probably was against Victory. Much is expected of him next year. CARPENTER—Guard Homer was substituted at guard position fre- quently during the season. Homer always fought hard and played the game fairly. This is his first year to wear the blue and white jersey; he has one more year. SYPULT—Center Carol, although not a regular, proved his abil- ity when substituted as pivot man at center. Sypult always had the fighting spirit and played his best when called upon. He was also substi- tuted at guard. He leaves us. BAILEY—Guard “Skyhook,” only a junior this year, played his first year on the squad. He was substituted in most of the games, starting the Martinsburg game. His performance showed that he was a dependable sub. FARINASH—Tackle Alfred was substituted frequently during the season. He has given the first-string men plenty of competition and deserves a great deal of credit. This is his last year. HODGES—End “Hoodoo,” played his last year of football for F. H. S. this year. He was relied upon fre- quently to replace either end position and always played a good game. This was his first year on the squad. B RECK EN RIDGE—Quarterback “Brecky,” also a junior, played his first year on the squad. He played in most all the games and proved himself a valuable substitute. Brecky broke into the lineup for the last three games of the season. LIST—Halfback “Terry,” playing his first year on the squad, has two more years as a Polar Bear. Although starting late in the season, he worked himself up to the starting lineup of the East Side game. ALLARD—Halfback “Chuck” earned his second letter as a Polar Bear. Although not playing as a regular, he came in handy when called upon. He is an out- standing offensive player. This is Chuck’s last year. McBRIDE—Fullback “Mac,” held back by injuries at the first of the season, worked his way to a starting post at guard in the East Side game. McBride is also a backfield man, and much is expected of him next year. THE FALL TOURNAMENT Fairmont—19 Philippi—0 Sept. 16—The Polar Bears opened their sea- son with a decisive victory over Philippi. The Barbour County boys were stronger than ex- pected during the first quarter, making two first downs and stopping the Bears completely. Sutton, a shifty halfback, skirted the ends in the second and third quarters for two touch- downs; and a pass from Hedrick to Tutalo ac- counted for the third. Hedrick plunged the extra point. Dawson substituted freely in the last quarter. Fairmont—18 Buckhannon—0 Sept. 23—Playing under floodlights, the Polar Bears fought through to another victory. Tootsie plunged over for a touchdown early in the first period. A pass from Hedrick to Sutton, in the second quarter, scored the second. After a scoreless third quarter, Sutton scored again in the fourth on a short run. Hedrick’s line plunging and ground gaining by Sutton and Watson kept Buck- hannon on the defense the greater part of the contest. Fairmont—12 Mannington—0 Sept. 30—A hard-fought battle proved the Powerful Mannington team weaker than the ears. After being stopped twice in the first half, within scoring distance of the Mannington goal, the Bears came back strong in the second half, Hedrick and Sutton each carrying the ball over the line once in the fourth quarter. Man- nington’s only threat was checked in the second quarter. Fairmont—6 Washington-Irving—6 Oct. 7—The Bears journeyed to Clarksburg on a hot day to play the strong Hitemen. The goals of either team had not been crossed previous to this game. W-I led the attack the greater part of the game, making their tally in the first quarter. As time shortened in the last quarter, “Lindsey” O’Neale, the Bears’ right end. intercepted an enemy pass on his eighteen-yard line and galloped 82 yards'for a touchdown, mak- ing the game 6-6, the extra point having failed. Fairmont—14 Martinsburg—0 Oct. 14—Martinsburg, journeying to Fairmont for revenge over the 19-0 defeat at the hands of the Bears last year, play«d the last night game of the season with the Bears. Fairmont scored twice on plunges in the second quarter and late in the third. Fultz completed two dropkicks making the score 14-0. Fairmont—6 Victory—6 Oct. 22—Fairmont again journeyed to Clarks- burg, tying Victory for their second tie of the season. The Bears having hot weather played good football throughout the ball game, scoring on a reverse play in the third quarter. Fair- mont received a five-yard penalty on the six-yard line but held Victory for four downs. Late in the fourth quarter. Victory scored on a run-off guard tying the game. Fairmont—0 Moundsville—7 Nov. 5—The Polar Bears suffered their first defeat at the hands of a strong Moundsville eleven. The Blue and White gridders were handi- capped by injuries but gave strong opposition, stopping the Prison lads almost every turn. Weakening in the second period, the Bears found themselves on the short end of 7-0 score at the half. Neither team was able to score in the last two quarters. Fairmont—0 East Side—7 Nov. 11—Alas, the City Championship crossed the river to the East Side Yellow Jackets, their first defeat over the Bears since ’28. The Polar Bears had an off day and were handicapped by a blocked punt, recovered by Mustachio, scoring the touchdown, in the second quarter. West Side made their only threat as the half closed. East Side threatened to score again as the game ended. Fairmont—0 Benwood—12 Nov. 19—A week after the East Side defeat the Bears met the Benwood Eleven of Union High. The game was played on a muddy field, on a cold day. The Bears held their ground during the first half, making their only threat as the whistle ended the half. Benwood scored on a short pass in the third quarter, and due to a recovered punt, scored their final pointer as the game ended. Fairmont—0 Parkersburg—38 Nov. 24—The Polar Bears closed their football season with their worst defeat since 1927, at the hands of the strong Parkersburg Eleven, at Park- ersburg on Thanksgiving day. The Big Reds proved themselves superior to the Bears. Leonard “Feets” Barnum, the Reds’ star fullback, was the outstanding player of the game, leading his team to the 38-0 victory. The Big Reds scored three times during each half. “Biz” substituted fre- quently letting only the juniors of the squad play the second half. FIRST FIVE Gantz Hedrick Judy Kidd Fultz G A N TZ—Forward Fairmont loses one of its most consistent scor- ers by graduation this year. This is Glenn’s second year on the squad and first year as a regu- lar, although he played in almost every game the year before. “Hot Dog” is a deceptive passer and a sure shot from all positions on the floor. When playing, he is cool and level headed. His loss next year will leave an important position which “Biz” will find hard to fill. H E DRICK—Forward “Swede,” a regular for three years and an All-State forward in 1932 and 1933, leaves us this year. His services this year and years past in both football and basketball have brought honors to himself and F. H. S. Oley’s teamwork, lead- ership, and consistent scoring gave the Bears the advantage over most of their opponents. Oley will not find it hard to gain a berth on the teams of the collige where he chances to go. JUDY—Center George took care of his position at center in first class style. He got the tip-off from almost every opponent he jumped against. This was his first year on the squad, and he proved himself of great value to his teammates and “Biz.” George was not a heavy scorer although he came out in front in the second game with East Side with 11 points. Judy has one more year, and much is expected of him. KIDD—Guard “Chai-lie” has played his last year for the Polar Bear Five. He is a three-year man, being a regular this year. Charlie’s continual fight and spirit pulled the team out of many “tough” places. His fine playing in the Shinnston game at Shinnston was outstanding. He shot six out of seven fouls in that game. Kidd hardly ever failed in getting the ball off the board and start- ing it on its way down the floor. We wish him luck in the future. F U LTZ—Guard “Buzzy” playing his first year as a regular, accounted a great deal for the Bears’ successful season. He was the team’s highest point man along with Hedrick and Gantz, all ranging around 135 points. “Buzzy” should gain an All-State post at guard before leaving Fairmont High. He was high point man many times during the season. His teamwork and smart playing this year give us a lot to look forward to next year. . == 84 SECOND FIVE Duvall Watson Hodges List Poling DUVALL—Guard Harold earned his letter for the first time this year by playing in most of the seventeen games. He proved himself worthy of being a sub in sev- eral of the games, his outstanding performance being in the Grafton game. There he scored two field goals in the latter moments of the game. Harold has one more year to play for the Polar Bears and should develop into a fins regular. W A T S 0 N—Forward Bill played good hard basketball all season; although he did not break into the first five, he saw plenty of action. He took the game seriously and worked hard to attain his position. His work this year will do much to place him on the first five next year, which will be his second year on the squad. “Biz,” along with the rest of the school, is counting on him to help carry on the fight next year. HODGES—Center “Hoodoo” was inserted in the games as a sub at center or forward. He was capable of play- ing either position when called upon. Allen broke into the starting line-up in three games and played in most every game this season. This is his first and last year on the squad, and he was considered a first string sub throughout the year. The Polar Bears will miss him in sports, and we wish him success in the future. LIST—Forivard Terry, who has two years yet, played his first year of basketball on the Polar Bear squad. He started several games and proved himself as good as the next man. Terry is a decidedly good shct from all angles of the floor and shows this by his scoring in the games. Much is expected of him next year and the year after that. With his ability, he should land on the All-State team before he ends his basketball career. POLING—Guard Wilford, playing his first year for the Polar Bears, made a good name for himself. He showed his ability in games where he was sub- stituted, and finished his basketball career in great style. His playing was always clean and his pass work and cooperation helped his team- mates. Wilford saw service in the majority of the games played, and always did his part when playing. We wish him luck with other teams in the future. 85 THE LAST TOURNAMENT Fairmont—46 Lumberport—11 Dec. 30—The Bears opened their 1933 basket- ball schedule with a decisive win over Lumber- port, who put up little or no opposition. Every player saw action in this game, giving “Biz” a good idea of what kind of material he had. Since this was the first game of the season there were many places seen for improvement. Fairmont—22 Grafton—23 Dec. 31—Grafton gave the Bears their first defeat of the season. Although it was a close game, the Bears could not make the grade. Grafton started with a fast rally which gave them the upper hand throughout the tilt. The game was ragged in many places and showed Fairmont’s weak spots. Fairmont—31 Fairview—16 Jan. 6—“Biz” starting his second team against Fairview had little trouble in defeating them. Late in the first half he inserted his first team and also again in the second half. The half ended 16-11 in the Bears’ favor. Fairmont—23 Parkersburg—33 Jan. 7—The strong Parkersburg team jour- neyed here to play the Bears. The tilt was flashy and displayed good basketball on both sides, the half ending 6-9 with the Big Reds leading. The second half found the Bears a little behind and unable to click against the Reds. Fairmont—31 Buckhannon—21 Jan. 10—The Bears journeyed to Buckhannon where they played the Upshur County boys. Af- ter trailing at the end of the first half 14-12, they came back in the third and fourth quarters to gain the lead. Fultz led the scoring attack with 15 points, and was closely followed by Gantz who scored 10 points. Fairmont—28 East Side—18 Jan. 13—The City Championship remained on the West Side after the first game with The Yellow Jackets, the Bears having won a hard- fought but decisive battle. The first half saw the Bears leading, 14-12. Shortly after the sec- ond half started, the Dawsonmen pulled away and held East Side to 18 points. Fairmont—29 Washington-Irving—26 Jan. 20—Fairmont’s first encounter with W-I proved successful with a close score of 29-26. The game, fast and close, was either team’s ball game until the final whistle decided the winner. The half ended 18-12 with the Bears on top. W-I came back to tie the Bears in the fourth quarter but were left in the rear as two consecu- tive field goals gave Fairmont the game. Fairmont—38 Shinnston—27 Jan. 27—The Bears marked up their fourth win in the Big Ten League by defeating the Shinnston lads. The Polar Bears, trailing at the half 18-13, came back strong in the fourth quarter with Hedrick and Fultz providing the scoring attack. Fairmont—28 Victory—32 Jan. 31—One of the best games of the year took place on Victory’s small floor. The two teams remained almost equal throughout the game, the half ending 15-14 with the Orange lads leading. The loss for the Bears was due to Vic- tory’s fast offense on their small floor. Fairmont—35 Farmington—26 Feb. 3—Farmington handed Fairmont a much haider fight than was anticipated. They came down here with a fighting spirit to win but found the Bears a little too strong for them. There was plenty of action in which every West player par- ticipated. The Dawsonmen gained the decision at the half with 20-13 and finished after a hard- fought second half. Fairmont—35 Washington-Irving—23 Feb. 7—The Polar Bears defeated W-I for the second time this season. The game showed much improvement for the Bears over their last en- counter with W-I. The first half ended 18-17, but the second half saw the Bears hitting their stride which put them far in the lead. Kidd, who fought hard all through the game, kept up the spirit, and led the team to victory. Fairmont—51 Barrackville—16 Feb. 10—The Polar Bears had little or no trouble in turning back the Barrackville Bisons, here. “Biz” substituted all of his men in the game and each man tallied at least once during the evening. Barrackville was by far outclassed in both offense and defense. Fairmont had the game practically won at the half which ended 29-5. Fairmont—33 Shinnston—28 Feb. 14—Fairmont, playing at Shinnston, won its second basketball game lrom the Bockmen this year. The game was the Bears’ sixth Big Ten win of the season. Fultz and Kidd kept the offensive work going, the latter making six out of seven fouls. The Polar Bears took the lead at the start and held it throughout the game. Fairmont—46 East Side—13 Feb. 17—The Yellow Jackets put up little fight for the City Championship in their second battle of the year, being largely outscored. The game showed much improvement for the Bears over their first tilt with East Side. The Bears practically won the game at the half which ended 32-6. The offense for the Bears was led by Judy and Gantz each having 11 points. Fairmont—43 Victory—31 Feb. 21—The Dawsonmen turned their tables and defeated the strong Victory quintet on the Fifth Street floor. The game was a last, colorful, and exciting battle. The Bears attained the lead up to the half which ended 22-22. Shortly after the half start: d, the Bears clicked and lengthened the gap between the scores. Fairmont—39 Weston—21 Feb. 24—Weston gave the Bears little com- petition in the rough game played at Weston. Fairmont took the lead in the first quarter and I eld it throughout the game. By consistent scor- ing and passing the Bears endtd the half lead- ing 20-9. “Biz” substituted frequently in the second half using eveiy man, most of them scor- ing points. Fairmont—36 Buckhannon—17 Feb. 25—The Polar Bears ended their basket- ball schedule for the season by defeating Buck- hannon, which placed Fairmont second with Vic- tory in the Big Ten Conference. The game played at Fairmont, was an easy victory for the Bears, who were threatened at no time during the game. SPRING COMBATS AAA Besides football and basketball, Fairmont High sponsors many minor sports, which include track, tennis, baseball and golf. Track is coached by Carus H. Hicks, assistant coach to Paul “Biz” Dawson, who coaches baseball. Tennis and golf are carried on independently by the students, al- though “Johnny” Warash helps with golf. TRACK Fairmont High’s track team consists of fel- lows who qualify for the different contests. Track is divided into dashes, high jump, broad jump, distance runs, javalin throw, pole vaulting, discus throw, and weights. During the track season, the team journeys to a sectional meet and later to a state meet. Those obtaining a required number of points by winning places in the contest, receive their letters. Fairmont never has taken a prominent place in this sport; this is probably due to lack of in- terest and support. Track is beginning to be- come a more popular activity. We hope that Fairmont may take an interest and make it a regular sport along with the major sports, foot- ball and basketball. TENNIS Tennis, which is entirely carried on by the students, is a very popular sport throughout the summer months. Many look forward to the tennis tournament which usually takes place around May 1. Each year a call is made for the participants in the tennis tournament. The entries draw and play their matches; the first eight players who come out on top make up the tennis team. Any player who lost out in the first or second bracket has the privilege of challenging any one of the first eight players. If the challenger wins, he takes the other’s place on the team. The players engage matches with other high schools in this district and other districts. The team usually journeys to Parkersburg to play a match. Fairmont High has turned out many good tennis players. Members of last year’s team who will probably play again this year are: Charles Kidd, “Oley” Hedrick, James Witt, Malcolm O’Neale, Max Sutton, and Allen Hodges. BASEBALL Each year the Polar Bears turn out for a baseball team, which is coached by “Biz” Dawson. With no delay it starts right in after spring foot- ball training is over. A large number of boys turn out for the team, giving “Biz” a good crew. The Fairmont High School baseball team schedules many games which run half way through the summer months. An annual home game and return game are scheduled with the West Virginia freshmen. “Biz” has several good players from last year’s team to work with this year. Gantz, a star pitcher for the Bears, will take the place of Bill Meyers who did most of the pitching last year. Behind Gantz there will be Fultz at left field, Bob Watson at third base, and Harold Oliver at short stop. These players were all out- standing last year. With this material and many ether good players, “Biz” ought to have a suc- cessful season this year. GOLF During gym classes golf is taught to the stu- dents; the campus serves as a suitable place to practice different shots. With the aid of “Johnny” Warash several good players turn up out of gym classes and keep improving right along. The golf team is chosen somewhat in the same manner as the tennis team; they draw, and play matches. The winner of this tournament is us- ually presented with some sort of trophy depend- ing on the contestants. Players who will be found of great value this year are “Red” Doolit- tle, Max Sutton, and Donald Barnes. FEATURES AAA N the days of Arthur’s Court after a hard-fought battle was trium- phantly won and the knights’ work was over, until further protection of their King called for their willing serv- ices, the followers of the King diverted their thoughts from duty and reveled in merry-making of the court. Court entertainments given by min- strels or traveling troubadours made up one of the many pleasures afforded the Lord and Ladies. Though altered a little in form, the performances given us by our dramatists are representative of the amusement shown the courtiers by their entertainers. A few days out of each year were set aside on which the neighboring Kings and their courts assembled together, and jousts were held to test the supremacy of the knights in horsemanship and battle. Handsome prizes were awarded to the most skillful. After the tournaments, costly and elaborate banquets were given for the combating knights, many similar to the famous feast of Pentecost, all re- vealed hours of painstaking preparation before such a social function could be given. Now, though less in detail and for- mality, the defenders of Arthur’s court, the Polar Bears, after their battles with neighboring teams, are treated to great feasts at the famous “Slacks.” Surely no mere healthier food than was served at Arthur’s Round Table could be found equal to the banquets given at the training table. Many of the knights, not upon an er- rand of the King, went forth to seek what adventures they might encounter. Marvel- ous tales are told of fearful battles with monstrous fiery dragons, or such menacing creatures as surrounded the castles. One of the honors most greatly sought by the knights was that pertaining to the protection of the ladies. For these fair damsels they did such deeds that when re- corded seem impossible. Yet there was many a t.'me those gallant knights unhesi- tatingly risked their lives to insure the safety of the lady of their fancy. On perilous trips, oft-time fraught with numerous dangers, the maidens were entrusted to the care of knights whose duty it was to protect them from robbers and great beasts which obstructed the paths. With the shackles of civilization so tightly bound around us, such chances do not present themselves to the Feudal Lords, Knights, and Squires of our modern castle; but the ideals of chivalry are pre- dominate here and show themselves in small acts of courtesy and thoughtfulness which are appreciated by our fair maidens as much as they were in the days of old. 89 EXCERPTS FROM THE KING’S SCROLL AAA c C3||, THE Scribe of King Arthur, take my pen in hand and duly record I the events of this year. Herein you will see written those words which describe the deeds and adventures of his court. September 12—The nobility, the Feudal Lords and Knights, have again crossed the moat of vacation and entered into the castle of King Arthur to receive the wisdom and knowledge of his ad- visers. September 13—On this day the servants and apprentices of the nobility entered the manor and took over their new posi- tions. King Arthur assembled his courtiers, and they received their in- structions for the coming year. October 5—The advisers of King Arthur met under the trees of the vast feudal estate of our ruler, and the gayeties of their festivities resounded among the surrounding hills. October 21—The troubadours of the court were joined together for the first time and great was the acclaiming of the achievement through the kingdom of our monarch. These singers do a great deal to help break the monotony of our castle routine. October 24—Meetings held by Lords, Knights, and Squires resulted in each having two representatives placed upon the advisory board of the castle whose duties were to keep the students and the king in contact and to help in the improvement of our manor. October 28—A new custom has been in- serted into the castle, that of a straw election, in order that we might see who the majority of the courtiers wish to represent the fair name of our land. The inhabitants of our castle registered today for this event. November 7—As a result of a mock elec- tion, the inhabitants of our modern castle elected the man, Mr. Roosevelt, to carry the burdens of our fair land. Long live Roosevelt! Even though I be not so wise as Merlin, I may venture to say that a slight “stuffing of ye ballot box” played a large part in the election. November 8—It was with exceeding pleas- ure that the Feudal Lords, Knights, and Squires dissembled for the. first holiday. This pleasure was given us in order that our elders might vote in the year’s election. November 11—Our court celebrated Arm- istice day with due ceremony. Also in this twenty-four hours a great tragedy befell us. Our defenders, the Polar Bears, after a hard-fought battle lost to the East Side castle, 7-0. May the championship come within our walls at the next tournament. December 2—That wonderous paper, Hi- Life, which records the news of the court has again entered the annual state contest. The King, the advisers, and the courtiers wish it undying suc- cess. December 5—A noticeable flutter and gloom settled over all King Arthur’s subjects, and the day passed far too slowly. This feeling was created by the worst menace of our lives—report cards. December 10—Great was the rejoicing and many were the long glances out of our castle windows as our first snow de- scended. It is estimated that 10 per- cent got their lessons .and the other percent joined in the merrymakings. = 90 December 21—The King relieved his cour- tiers of their duties until Christmas vacation was over. During the festivi- ties of the holidays our castle received a thorough house cleaning. December 25—I, scribe of King Arthur, wish to pen upon this scroll a greeting of cheer which was sent from His Ma- jesty the King to his faithful Lords, Knights, and Squires, wishing them the merriest and happiest of Christmases. January 1—The old year passed away, and the new year marched in amidst great celebrating by the members of our vil- lage. We hope this year is the best of all. January 3—The drawbridge was lowered to receive within the portals the mem- bers of our court, who have been away over the holidays. While we have been engaged in various merrymakings, our castle has received a marvelous coat of paint, and it was with great pleasure that we viewed the change. January 6—Court was dismissed for a half- holiday while the King’s painters fin- ished part of the laborous task of paint- ing the castle. January 13—None were more happy than the inhabitants of this castle when the village championship returned to the court. Our defenders put up a battle that East Side could not compete against and the joust ended with the score 28-18. January 25—The severest task of the year was placed before the courtiers in or- der that they might show to the King’s advisers what knowledge they had gained under their instructions. January 26—The semester exams were completed and the Lords, Knights, and Squires ended another semester. January 30—Today to the courtiers of the castle were issued cards on which those reports pertaining to their conduct in their classes in the past six weeks was registered. February 2—A performance, “Synco- pated Rythms,” given in our meeting house, comprised of some of the num- erable talents of the folks in the vil- lage, met with superb success. It was given for the benef.t of “Maple Leaves.” February 14—Tender m’ssives (and comic valentines) exchanged among the cour- tiers plus the operetta, “Jerry of Jeri- cho Road,” made up Valentine’s Day in our court. February 17—After combating East Side, the title remained on our side again. February 23—Today we lent our ears to an interesting assembly program given by the public speaking department. March 2—We had a visitor, Carter Dun- nington Jones, from the new world, who showed us marvelous Alaskan hunting pictures. March 4—The Polar Bears, defending the castle’s name, won the sectional tour- nament, and great were the rejoicings among the “Idols” of the King. March 24—Our League of Nations con- test and a Literary contest at the Nor- mal castle comprised the day, and many of Arthur’s subjects participat- ed in the events. March 31—The play produced annually by the Knights was given on this eve, and on this day also I lay down my pen and cease to recount further the events of our court as this literary effort goes to press.

Dorothy Potter, who took the part of Jerry, the heroine, has received deserving praise for her lovely voice and the excel- lent way in which she played her part. Those who heard Jack Rowand sing, unhesitatingly pronounced him a future star radio entertainer. Jane Ash is another lucky actress with a golden voice. Playford Robinson, the hero, ever since the performance, has had a bevy of maidens seeking him out to acquaint themselves with this talented young man. The part of Mimi, played by Betty Jane Martin, put another feather in her cap, already full, and assured us of her ability to play character parts. Alexander Hall is remembered for add- ing a huge slice of comedy to the operetta and is now better known by his admirers as “Mr. Beans,” with the Bostonian accent and the hot-water bottle. Morris Silver, Margaret MacLuckie, Martha Ice, and Charles Poling each gave a true characterization and portrayal of their parts. Just as the Lords and Ladies with their wards used to enjoy the minstrels of old, so we enjoyed the talent that was exhibit- ed by the modern troubadours of “Jerry of Jericho Road.” I “DIGGING UP THE DIRT” By Bert Norton Presented by the Junior Class, March 31 AAA CAST Kenneth Andrews........

Allan.................. Jane................... .....HARRY WEINBERG ..........REX POTTER .....CAROLINE O’NEALE BETTY JANE MARTIN ...........JACK KERN BROOKS HIGGINBOTHAM .......WAYNE PARSONS ..........MARTHA ICE IDA WATSON FLEMING .......ALBERT FORTE MARY FRANCES ARNETT Directed by Ike Brackett The group of extras included Gwendolyn Conrad, Jane Reed, John Teti, Dick Dollison and Richard Chapman. “Digging up the Dirt” was received by howls of laughter and bursts of ap- plause, and the cast was deserving of the credit they received for presenting such a successful play. Kenneth and Bill, as modern college boys accompanying their professor on an expedition, were pilaced in a precarious position because of lack of clothes result- ing from a visit to the “boudoir of a skunk.” They immensely delighted the audience as arrayed in their striking attire, they assumed the role of silent Indians, much to the horror of Aunt Miriam and the amusement of the rest of the cast. Caroline O’Neale and Betty Jane Mar- tin, playing the opposite feminine leads in the play, both gave performances of credit, and showed evident signs of possessing theatrical talent. The professor and Aunt Miriam brought into the play a touch of old-fash- ioned romance which contrasted strongly with the modern version presented. Both parts were portrayed remarkably well. Brooks Higginbotham, as Sheriff Carson, presented a menacing personage, and the audience was delighted by the Spanish accent of Wayne Parsons as Jose. Ida Watson Fleming, Phyliss, gave a splendid performance and is to be com- mended on her acting ability. Albert Forte as Allan and Mary Frances Arnett as Jane contributed greatly to the success of the play. This comedy is one of the many en- tertaining minstrels that the inhabitants of our modern castle have enjoved and “Digging up the Dirt” was placed among the hits of the year. aC O h c c i Mus olvax ajxxd liis secretary HoU era.

Mifcja f I'k.e SYNCOPATED RHYTHMS Sponsored by the “Maples Leaves” Staff, February 2 Managed by Maxwell Sutton and Donald Barnes AAA Owing to the financial difficulties with which any project undertaken this year had to cope, the “Maples Leaves” staff sponsored a highly entertaining vaudeville, February 2, from which the proceeds were used to help supply the funds necessary to publish the annual. Money to support the yearbook comes from three sources. The students con- tribute by purchasing the book, and by paying $1.00 each for the engraving of their individual pictures. The people of Fairmont indirectly help pay the necessary expenditures through their signatures and advertisements, which are obtained from the business men of Fairmont and parents of pupils who wish to help finance the annual by this method. The third source is the profit obtained from the junior play and any other similar enter- tainment put on by the junior class. This year the vaudeville, “Syncopated Rhythms,” reaped a huge profit of $95.31 which was appreciated by the staff as money was greatly needed at that time. Under the efficient management of Max Sutton and Donald Barnes, who took the entire responsibility upon themselves, local and out-of-town talent was secured. The two managers are members of the senior class; and although the annual is put out by juniors, they kindly contributed their time. It is to them that the staff owes many thanks for the amazing success with which the vaudeville met. Owing to the fact that the annual had a late start and the staff was pressed for time, the two seniors obtained the all-star cast, and at- tended to the publicity of the vaudeville entirely themselves. The large amount taken in was proof of hard work and a well-planned performance. With Weldon Williams and his popular ten-piece orchestra leading and the famous Fuzzy Knight acting as Master of Cere- monies, the vaudeville did not lag from be- ginning to end. Included in the performance were the Dove Pitzer trio and the Eddie Barrett trio, each rendering popular selections which appealed to all. Charlotta Ann Sandridge, who has had the honor to perform in the movies at Hollywood, delighted the audience with the quaint way in which she sang and her absence of stage consciousness at all times. Charles Reed, baritone, and Clarence Lee “Skinner” also pleased the audience with solos. Charles Reitz, accomplished pianist, played a composition of the most difficult nature with apparent ease. Tap dancing acts by the five dancing dolls, Betty Clark, Martha Ann Garrett, Betty Sypult, Betty Cile Freeman and Bet- ty Brown, merited much applause. A dia- logue between Glen Kerns and Edward Eardley added a slice of enjoyable comedy to the vaudeville. All this combined, plus the dance music by Weldon Williams and the spontaneous wit of Fuzzy Knight, made a most enter- taining program. It was witnessed by ap- proximately 1200 people who showed their appreciation by repeated applause and re- quests for encores. Cont irtecL X Tx£te«ya. Corxlen eoL H COURT PROCLAMATION AAA Hear ye!

The waters, black and awful, slowly rise on the sparkling handle, creep up on the shining Hade, and surmount the glittering point which catches the water and turns it into a thousand colors in the glow of the setting sun. The idle hour of dreaming draws to a close. Thoughts, confusing thoughts, twirl through our brains. Optimism becomes tinged with pes- simism as ideals return to life. Those ideals remain only long enough to enable us to marvel at the immensity of space without and the extent of the inner moral law. Suddenly the cobwebs are brushed aside; the stars break through a clear sky; mankind takes hope. Away fade agnosticism and atheism, on the horizon appears faith! Mankind is not yet dead! Nay, more, he still may breed the superman, the incarnation of philosophers’ dreams! Shall this be our lot? This is the question. But already have we tarried too long. Graciously we take our leave and with Virgil we say, “Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit.” Perhaps in the future it will please you to remember these things. zn
