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.
