We have worked very hard toward making this hook one which we may enjoy now as well as one of which we will be proud in years to come. For the past several years the publication of this book has been a source of much discussion in the fall and the cause of much doubt in the spring. We hope that the existence of this annual will be assured in the succeeding years and that no Junior Class which follows us will lose interest in this, our only record of school days, and thus break the tradition of Maple Leaves. For those who would criticize our work we say to them that it has been worth all the time and effort it has cost us, and that we have enjoyed the experiences which it affords. With these thoughts in mind, we publish this annual, hoping that it will encourage publication in future years. i 4k DCDIC4I I ) N lo our beloved principal, Mr. W. E. Buckey, we, the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-eight of Fairmont Senior Hhh School, whole- heartedly dedicate this annual as a token of our sincere appreciation for the untiring: interest shown by him in the student body and its activities. Mr. Buckey has always shown deep interest in the many phases of school life and it is through him that we have been successful in maintaining our uppermost position in the many scholastic competitions of the years gone by. He has worked persistently and cfiligently for the betterment of the school, and by so doing he has gained the respect and highest esteem of the faculty and the community. Mr. Buckey has been of much help and assistance to us during our high school career, and we sincerely hope he will be as successful in his work in the future as he has been in the past. With the greatest of pleasure, therefore, we dedicate this book to Mr. Buckey. p ft II VI | M | I V I M S Ill I I IM N il An understanding, sympathetic man.” Forever cheerful and never tiring, Mr. Buckey has earned his rightful position as the principal of Fairmont Senior High School. A trip to the office seems less dreadful when one knows that a true friend is there to stand by. His brisk step on the auditorium platform makes the dullest program seem worth while—and his endless wit lifts the spirits of those who know him. Ten MISS JAC KSON cur rcrr l Ary “A jovial and sweet lady with never a harsh word. ' During her first year as secretary of Fairmont Senior High School, Miss Doris Jackson has shown the pupils of the school what good secretaries are made of. Her enduring patience makes one envy her and shows one what he lacks in his dealings with people. Before she accepted this position, Miss Jackson, a graduate of Fair.ront State Teachers College, had been employed by several busi- ness firms in Fairmont which helped her to gain experience in this type of work. Fairmont High School sincerely welcomes her and promises that her stay will be a pleasant one.

Sixteen THEY CUN cue SCUCCU • • • THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT is a newly adopted system just put into effect this year. The system in theory is like the United States Government and is the only one of its kind in the State. At the first of the year several campaigns for President and Vice-President were car- ried on. The outcome was that Merle “Laddie” Amos was elected President and Welty Goode, Vice-President. The Vice-President is the President of the Senate and Mary Jane Dobbie is Speaker of the House. The Supreme Court consists of three teachers. The Chief Justice is our Principal by virtue of his office and the two teachers are Miss Rock and Mr. Ludwig elected by the faculty and Student Government respectively. In the future the officers will be elected at the end of the year so that the members of the Government may have a period during school time to meet. We hope that this system will prove effective.

Since the day that this group entered the school as bewildered Sophomores, they have shown their leadership and ability in all phases of school life. The Senior Class should be an example for the Junior and Sophomore classes to follow, and we believe that the Class of Nineteen Hundred Thirty-seven is an excellent example of what a class should be. They are not without their faults, but we believe theirvg bd.’points overshadow by far their bad ones. C iff Their many feats in all walks of school life have set a high goal for the classes to come to strive for. Its members have set new records in all activities. And now, may the entire student body stop for a moment and pay its re- spects to this, the Senior Class of Fairmont Senior High School for the year nineteen hundred thirty-seven. Twenty-two FRANK A.

Seldom has there been so fine a class, one that is so outstanding in all phases of school life, as has been this class. They have had no small share of the leadership of all school activities. This year, as in the past, the tradition of the Juniors was kept up by pub- lishing the school annual, “Maple Leaves”. The staff got off to an early start, and so, since they were not rushed, they could put their best efforts into the book. The Junior play, “Life Begins at Sixteen”, was successfully produced by members of the class, and much praise is due all those who helped with the production. Next year this group will occupy the coveted center section of the auditor- ium and the president of the student body will be chosen from their midst. Our hats are off to you, Juniors!

Fifty-eight JACK CROSS RUTH HESS JACK WADE MARY JANE DOBBIE CHEERLEADER • • The cheerleaders had a new member elected to their staff this year. Jack Cross was the nevv addition. He, along with the old members, Ruth Hess, Mary Jane Dobbie, and Jack Wade, excelled in inspiring the team toward one of the most successful seasons the football and basketball teams have had in the last few years. This is the last year for Jack, Ruth, and Mary Jane. Next year only one member will be back—Jack Wade. Jack will, we hope, be able to carry on as fine as this year. Especially will the good attitude of the cheerleaders be remembered by everyone. Fairmont High should be very proud to be represented by such cheerful and earnest workers.

John Tatta — Began service for the Polar Bears when he was in the ninth grade. He first started as center and was changed to tackle when the possibilities looked good for him. John also leaves a fine basketball record since he has been in high school. Donald Nimblett—has been playing four years of football and has been known as a jack-of-trades since ninth grade. He has played end, full- back, center and tackle. He showed up well in the East Side game in 1935 also in the Monongah game in the same. Don, we wish you good luck ir. the future. Dave Rowand — One of the best tackles in the Monongahela Valley, has been playing with the Polar Bears four years.

The Polar Bears showed their strength in the ebbing minutes of the game by corraling Wash- ington Irving and stopping a flood of points. JANUARY 15 — EAST SIDE 25 — FAIRMONT 31 In the second conference game the Polar Bears showed what they really could do against the well-coached East Side team. Throughout the whole game there was fast ball played by both teams and the Bears showed better ball handling than did East Side. JANUARY 22 —VICTORY 25 —FAIRMONT 46 The Polar Bears won their third conference game by trouncing the “Flying Eagles”. The game was played fast and hard with the Bears showing what they really could do. Kosko, Tatta, and Hawkins displayed brilliant ball handling.

On February 16, Washington Irving defeated the Bears with a score of 40 to 23. With a gayer spirit the Polar Bears defeated Barrackville, 49-21. Shinnston subdued the Polar Bears on February 20, 36-34.

CUDS • • • The Cubs in playing out their schedule for 1936-37, made a showing equal to that of the Polar Bears. The only game lost by the Cubs was the one against the Red Tops. The Red Tops’ team consisted of former high school and college stars and the Cubs were at a disadvantage due to the height, age, and experience of the Red Tops. They defeated the W-I reserves badly with Hamilton, and Chriswell doing the best work. In the game with Fairview’s Little Indians, the Cubs held them to 8 points during the whole game. Again the Cubs held their opponents to a low score when they defeated Barrackville. In this game Roy Peters was the outstanding player. The Cubs’ best game was with the Shinnston reserves, defeating them 32-24. Carney Davis starred in this game. Shinnston displayed an unusually fast offense but the Cubs were able to stop it. Sixty fiife SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT • • • The sectional tournament was held in East Side gymnasium to find out who would represent Marion County in the regional tournament which was held in Grafton. The Polar Bears were drawn in the upper bracket and roared their way through to the finals by defeating Mannington and Farmington. East Side, the co-favorite, was upset by Fair view in the opening session. In the first game of the tournament the Polar Bears outclassed Mannington by a score of 52-22. In the second game Farmington defeated an inexperienced Monongah team by a score of 23-15 and earned the right to meet the Bears. In the last game of the opening session Fairview upset East Side by a score of 25-23 and thus established themselves as favorites to enter the finals. On the second night of the tourney Barrack ville defeated the redrawn team, Monongah, to the tune of 38-18. In the semi-finals the Polar Bears continued their winning ways by de- feating Farmington 42-22. Barrackville entered the finals by defeating Fair- view 39-16. In the championship tilt the Barrackville Bisons put up a real scrap but wilted in the second half and enabled the Bears to run the final up to 45-21. The Polar Bears thus earned the right to enter the regional tourney at Grafton. REGIONAL TOURNAMENT The Polar Bears were established as co-favorite along with Grafton whom they drew for the first game. In the opening session the Polar Bears defeated Grafton by a score of 37-22 in a game which was marked by roughness. Elkins eliminated Buckhannon in the first game of the tourney and there- fore entered the finals. In the final game between Elkins and the Polar Bears there was some start- ling and brilliant ball played. The score at the half was tied and throughout the second half the difference in score wasn’t over four points. In the end the Elkins “jinx” prevailed and the Polar Bears’ hopes of going to the state tourney were shattered. Final score, Elkins 38, Fairmont 35. The all-regional team was as follows: Forward...........................Kosko.........................Fairmont Forward...........................Hess............................Elkins Center..........................Campbell..........................Elkins Guard.............................Cross..........................Grafton Guard..........................Poundstone.....................Buckhannon Sixty-six I ASI l l I • • • Well! It looks like dear old Fairmont High is going to have another base- ball team this year. If they do as good as they did last year they will be show- ing up very well. There are some fine prospects out for the baseball team. They are “Froggie” Warden, Eddie Kosko, John Tatta, Bob Herbert and Sam Vaughan. We hope this year that the whole student body will back the base- ball team, if there is lots of enthusiasm we are sure that the team will come out on the top. Here’s for a good team next year. INTRAMURALS For the third year intramural sports were carried on. Any boy may earn a letter by getting 800 points and many of the boys are entering just for the letter. The required points are obtained by entering into games and the win- ning team gets additional points. A few of the games that boys are required to participate in are volleyball, handball, touch football, basketball, and baseball. These games are held after school and there are many good teams organized. There is a great deal of rival- ry aroused on account of inter-class games. The teams are classed by two divisions; those over 130 pounds and those who are under 130 pounds. This way every one is treated fairly. At the end of the school year the winners are awarded suitable trophies at the last assem- bly. We feel that in years to come more students will participate all the time in intramural sports. TENNIS For the second year tennis will be played by a group of boys under the super- vision of Mr. Ludwig, physical education instructor. The way they will find who’s on the team is that there will be held matches and the boy who wins the matches will be on the tennis team. The team showed up very well for what material they had. We are confident of this year’s players, for they have some very good up and coming tennis players. They are getting under way much quicker than they did last year and we hope they will show us what they really can do for the spirit of dear old Fairmont High.

The membership was double that of the previous year, and the members had a keen interest in the club. The school was enrolled 100 per cent this year, as in past years. The bangle sale was sponsored by the club again this year, and was a success. A substantial sum was raised by the club for those suffering in the flood. Also, in January, the club sponsored Russell Wright, renowned world trav- eler, in a program that was enjoyed by the many who were present. Our local club adopted the Crippled Children’s Foundation in Berkeley Springs as its project for the year, and at Christmas attractive place cards were made by the members for the children. The club is composed of at least one representative from each group, and a council representative who attends the monthly council meetings and thus keeps the local club informed of Red Cross activities in this county. Our club was especially honored this year in that our representative was elected president of the Marion County Junior Red Cross Council. Seventy-one DANE) • a • Fairmont High School had a band organization this year to be ex- tremely proud of. At many games this group was on hand in their snappy new uniforms and their skillful playing added greatly to the enthusiasm of the contest. Their maneuvers were well done and inspiring to see. The band had four sponsors again this year who dressed in the school colors and marched with the band at all times. No little praise for the group’s success should be given to Mr. Glenn Arnett, their efficient leader and helper. STUDENT DIRECTOR Arnold was the Student Director of the band this year. He is a bril- liant trumpet soloist and has played for the student body many times, as well as directing the band and orchestra in Mr. Arnett’s absence. We can foresee great things for Arnold in a musical career. ARNOLD BOYCE Sevenly-two MARY WORTHINGTON MARY JANE DOBBIE...

It is the one organization in this school that pupils strive to be elected to because of the great honor attached to membership in it. The object of the society is to create a general interest in scholarship, to stimulate a desire to serve, to promote leadership, and to encourage char- acter development. Distinction and service, leadership, and character, and being in the upper quartile of the class are the requirements for membership. Each year, to help stimulate a greater interest in Biology, the society presents a cash prize to the boy and girl having done the best work in this subject during the year. The emblem of the society is a torch surrounded by the letters C. S. L, and S, which stand for Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service.

Secretary MISS LUCILLE JENKINS........................... Advisor The one organization in the school which recognizes the dramatic abil- ity of the students is the National Thespian Society. To become a member, the student must show better than average acting ability and have par- ticipated in previous school plays. The aim of the society is to stimulate and promote interest in high school dramatics, and with this as a goal, the society has carried on its work. Since the organization was founded, it has done some outstanding work in this school. Much of the success of its productions is due to the fine work of the society’s sponsor, Miss Lucille Jenkins. Their production this year was “The House of the Seven Gables”. It was a play of an entirely different type from those usually presented, as it was not presented solely to make one laugh, but for the historical back- ground it contained.

Eiyhty-onc SENICR prize WINNING STDPy liCCriNS’ REVENGE by Mary Martha Talbott • • • The wind was howling around the huge antiquated house, which stood like a ghost of former generations on the edge of a cliff. The waves from the sea beat heavily against the shore. A cold, white moon brought to light the small private cemetery at the side of the mansion, where the white tombstones stood like sentinels over the remains of generations of Hippleworths. This cem- etery was surrounded by hundred year old pine trees that swayed and moaned. Inside the house sat Flora and Miranda, two maidenly sisters. Flora was about sixty and had white wavy hair, faded blue eyes and a rosy complexion, which had not lost its school-girl texture. She was a little on the plump side and evidently the baby of the two. Miranda was tall and bony with straight black hair and piercing black eyes. Her skin was disfigured with smallpox scars which she had contracted in womanhood and which accounted for her never marrying. Flora arose and started pacing back and forth before the window, while Miranda sat quietly by, knitting. ‘T wonder why Herkins is howling so? He must be hungry”, murmured Flora. “Have you fed him today, Miranda?” “No,” replied Miranda, “we have nothing left for him. We’ve had nothing in fact since the storm. The boats cannot cross the bay. You look tired tonight, Flora, why don’t you go up to bed ? I’ll get it ready for you”. “Thank you, Miranda, I am tired tonight,” sighed Flora. The two women left the room. Flora climbed wearily to her attic bedroom. As she was putting on her gown, Miranda entered the room and made up her sister’s bed. Flora gazed out of the window moodily, while behind her back Miranda sprinkled a white poisonous powder over the bed-clothing. “Goodnight, dear,” Miranda said, and with a nervous look behind her left the room. “I can’t understand why Miranda didn’t feed Herkins a little something,” Flora mused. “I’ll go down and see if I can find a little something for him to eat. He can’t starve to death.” She took the candle and went softly down the steps. In the kitchen she threw a shawl around her sleeveless gown. Herkins saw her coming and utter- ed a series of loud yelps. Eighty-two HECriNS’ REVENGE (Continued) “There, there, Herkins, I can’t find anything tonight but I’ll get you some- thing tomorrow,” she promised. Herkins jumped up to her and with his sharp toe nails scratched her arm. “You bad dog,” Flora reprimanded. She patted his head gently and went back to her attic room. As she drew the covers over her she felt a sharp sting on her arm. “I’ll have to bandage my arm tomorrow,” she said as she faded into a rest- less sleep. The next morning Miranda knocked at Flora’s door, but receiving no answer, opened it and to her glee found Flora still asleep. She went over to the bed and shook her by the shoulders. Flora did not move! “Ha! Ha!” laughed Miranda. “You thought you could outlive me and get our money we inherited all for yourself. Well, now it’s my turn to have some fun”. She chuckled to herself. After a hasty breakfast, she bundled her young- er sister into a sack and carried her out to the cemeterey. Herkins saw her stumble through the thick hedge and made one last effort to break his chains. Miranda opened one of the vaults, which were above the ground, with an old key and placed Flora’s body on top of disarranged bones that had been there for over a century. As she resealed the vault she heard a sound that made her - blood run cold. Turning she saw that Herkins had broken his chain and was coming toward her, his white fangs bared, and he was frothing at the mouth for want of food. He pounced upon her with a snarl. As Miranda went down under the impact of the blow, she uttered an unearthly scream, that rent the still morning air around her. Her dying words were: “At least she rests in peace!” What Herkins did not want of her, the selfish and inconsiderate sister, the buzzards partook.

By Sara Jane Halley • • • “Toby” unconsciously put on the brake, turned off the ignition, pushed back his cap, and mopped his brow. “Like a raven’s coal black wing. That was her hair. And eyes—ah-h!— like blue amethyst. Independent—that was Miss Smith. Miss Smith of the provocative voice—.” Slowly, as if coming out of a trance, young Mr. Tobias Drexel pulled him- self upright and opened the door of “Brockett’s Better Baked Bread” truck. He hauled himself out with surprising energy and drank in the air of Eighth and Broad Streets, Philadelphia. “What a morning—what a morning!” he paused to reflect, lounging against one of the paneled sides of old man Brockett’s bread truck. Unexpectedly, the chimes in St. Anthony’s Greek Orthodox church across the street startled him from his resumed reverie long enough to permit a stammered, “Jumping Jehosaphat! Twelve bells and I’m not even a quarter of the way around the route yet!” Fully coming to, he faced the unpleasant fact that he had at least 100 more customers who wanted pastry before closing time. The vision of Miss Smith gave him a new lease. He sold bread and apple- sauce upside down cake like a regular butter-and-egg man, pausing only at in- tervals to dwell on the charms of his inspiration. Living in clouds, deliciously cool (in spite of the fact that the thermometer at Liberty Square registered 108 in the shade), even Mrs. Romanagno with her slew of infernal brats was no obstacle. She took five loaves of bread and two apple sauce specials without a murmur. Still treading clouds, Toby checked in at six o’clock with a balance of thirty dollars—plus his salary—plus an extra commission—plus a word of praise from the old main (faint!)—equaling added delirium. Perhaps David would compose a sonata to her—to Miss Smith. “Sonata to Miss Smith”. That sounded lousy. What was her first name? Something lilting, of course, like a refrain. Annabelle? No, Carolyn? Hardly! He faced a new obstacle. How was he to call her? Philadelphia with her host of Smiths was an impossibility. Racing up to his room he found his esteemed roommate, as usual, pouring out his soul and ruining the piano with his latest original—“The Kaiser’s Fun- eral March”. “Hmm! The lost sheep returneth,” quoth David, pausing to give Toby the once over. “A lot of company you turned out to be. ‘Room mate in name only’. I—” “Davey, boy. I’m going to be married. No fooling. She’s a peach. Her hair, Dave, like a raven’s coal black wing! Her eyes----and her smile. Gosh, Dave, you should see her smile!” All this in one breath. Eight y-six TEE L4LrS NAME. PLEASE! (Continued) “There, there, my demented friend, be calm. Pul-leaze don’t tell me you’ve got the jimmies over another skirt!” Finding the last quite evident, “All right, Toby, what’s her name, where did you meet her, and why the eloquence?” Frantically snatching the city directory, “Miss Smith at the Bakery Dance last night, and—” “Miss Smith Is that all the farther you got?” “She didn’t have time to tell me the rest. Where are the Smith’s in this thing? Smith, Smith—ah!—Smith, Tabetha.” That name wasn’t so satisfac- tory, however, what’s in a name ? Lifting the receiver, he took the plunge. “Bearing 10958—and, operator, hurry! — Hello. Miss Smith? Well, what’s the trouble? Have you a cold?— Who am I calling? You, Miss Smith. I’m the gentleman you met at the Bakery Ball last night, remember?—Fresh? Who’s fresh?—Ouch!!” He sheepishly admitted to David, “Wrong number.” “Try again. Here’s one. Operator? Ring Darby 21069—. Hello, may I speak to Miss Smith? Oh, this is Miss Smith? Remember me? I’m—. Pa- tient? What patient? Insane asylum? Of course, I’m not calling the insane asylum! You say I should be?” With a decisive slam the receiver once more reached the hook. “Gee, Dave, can’t you help a fellow? Stop laughing! you aren’t taking in one of Shakespeare’s comedies.” Perspiration poured from Toby. “Find her number for me.” David sobered and offered Landsdowne 32170. A trifle undaunted, Toby lifted the receiver. “Landsdowne 32170. Hello, may I speak to Miss Smith. Thanks. Good evening, Miss Smith, I’m the gentle- man you met at the Bakery Ball last night. Don’t understand?—Don’t you re- call the handsome driver you had the last extra with? Remember now? Dog hospital!! I beg your pardon. I must have the wrong hospital—I mean, the wrong Miss Smith.” Disgustedly, Toby picked a number at random and tried once more. “Chester 43280—. Hello. May I speak to Miss Smith? There’s no Miss Smith there? Boys’ Reformatory? Sorry to have bothered you, sir.” This time he didn’t even hang up but paused to collect himself. So—even the operator was laughing at him, was she Well he’d fix her! Enraged, he shouted, “Operator! I’ll have you discharged for eavesdropping — you—you!” words failed him. “But you’re so amusing!” came the tantalizing reply. “And may I have the audacity to inquire who you are. I’ll see to it that you’ll be looking for another job right soon.” “Really” came the reply. What was so familiar about her? “Never mind the answers. Just give me your name — What?? Joyce Smith!” It couldn’t be. It wasn’t possible. It was. He’d found her! Miss Smith! “Hey, Davey, you son of a gun—strike up Sonata to Joyce’ on that harpi- schord!” ight.y-seven 1937 SCANDAI $ • • a The days that you spend in school are the backbone of a successful future for you. You form, or are supposed to form, a firm foundation for the difficult task of stamping your name on the social register of the world. Not all of us can be famous of course, but each and every one of us can be a leader in our own particular field. School days are remembered forever and are considered by most people as the happiest days of their lives. Things that go on in our school can be used as an argument for this statement. We don’t infer that the point has to be argued because we sincerely believe that you feel as we do as to whether our school days are our happiest days or not. Perhaps a venture in verse would help explain our sentiments: In the month of September on the first day of school Was the time we resolved to enforce our own rule Of staying in nights and studying hard so as not To be dubious of our first report card. But “woo-pitchers” gathered on Aunt Mary’s road And “Gone With the Wind” was the aforesaid code. There was “Marcie” and Broidy and Elinor and Bill And David and “Dot” and many more still. Among others present were Mary and Don and Mary and “Brownie” and the list still went on. With Susan and Hitch and Loraine and “Ank” So this ends the list with Heaven to thank. Now don’t change the subject For we’ve barely begun So pull up a chair and get in the fun Going back farther your authors recall, Of the ardent affection of couples last fall. Bob Judy’s flame was the one Kook Hess. And “Laddie” liked Nancy none the less. Hitch thought Charlotte was quite the stuff And Cox thought Reedie was plenty tough!

Little did it realize how earnestly and unceasing- ly the staff would work. A peep in room 209 every day at 3:00 P. M. would disclose as much. Editor “Hitch,” looking not at all as his title suggests, was sprawled upon a chair busily measuring pages and stencils. Teacher Frantz, trying hard to remember whether she said we were in debt $760 or $670, was interrupted by advertiser Wade who came staggering in an exceedingly natural manner, “Hey, Miss Frantz, can’t ya get me out of Economics all the rest of the week, we’re having an awful contract?” “English-when-it-comes-to-jokes” Slack, with a tug and a grunt for the de- fenseless Maple Leaves door sauntered in and following close behind came “Blue Moon” Varner, thus ending the parade of late arrivals. “And now,” said Miss Frantz, “unless we decide to get down to work, we’re going to be left with 400 Maple Leaves and $700 in debt when school is over. We need $60 worth more ads and they’ve got to be in by the end of this week. Jack, have you been to ‘Carmen’s’ yet ? They ought to give you an ad because they get all the high school trade.” Don’t worry,” promised Jack. He’d better give me one ’cause I spent a nickel for a game of pool down there.” “Eddie,” she continued, “have you written up the sectional and regional tournaments?” “Sure,” said Eddie. But you forgot the one that was a cinch for West High, the state tourna- ment,” added some sarcastic “do-or-dyer” for F. H. S. “Aw, gee whiz,” explained Eddie, “We never write up state tournaments.” Possibly to hide such snickers and groans as were in order Mary P. Buc- hanan offered one of her highly improbable schemes usually so heavy with ex- aggeration. Continuing with her cross examinations, Advisor Frantz asked, “Charles, have you found a name for your couple page?” “Well,” drawled Varner, “I thought about ‘Aunt Mary’s Tabernacle’ and ‘Woo Pitcher’s Club’ but Pm not satisfied. Can’t the rest of ’em give me some suggestions?” Frankie Mallamo suddenly came to life and offered “Oblivious Campus Ro- mancers” which was hastily vetoed. Ninety A MIGHTY MAPLE LEAVES IN THE MAHING (CONTINUED) • • • “By the way, Frank, I can’t find your dedication. You’ll have to write another,” continued Miss Frantz. “Never,” screamed Frank. “It took me all week to write the one I did!” A muffled voice, belonging to Margaret Davis, came from the closet and called soothingly, “Calm yourself, kid, here it is.” “Look. If I can say that boosters are fifty cents instead of a dollar I can get a whole bunch of ’em,” encouraged Raymond Fisher. “How many?” asked teacher in a hopeful tone. “Two!” Bang! Crash! Simultaneously every eye was turned to the back of the room and there sat Mary P. on the floor. Amid the hilarious laughter, Mary fully explained, “I slipped”. “Ya-ya, look at me,” cried Jack. We looked up and there he sat out on the window ledge polishing the dirty glass with his coat tail. “Please,” begged teacher as she unsuccessfully attempted a sour look. “Does anyone remember what happened September 26? I’m havin’an aw- ful time with this Social Calendar,” complained Betty Bartlett. “That’s the day the ‘Bachelor’s Club’ broke up on accounta’ some ‘femmes fatales’,” supplied Louis G. Helmick, Jr. “Ooo, this paste is all dried up. How am I gonna’ get these pictures pasted down,” inquired “Posie” Arnett. A long awaited bell rang merrily and there was a general stampede for the door, leaving Teacher Frantz to worry over the needed articles and settle the financial problem. “Some staff.” ik it £ Ninety-one SCUCCI CALENDAR ICC 1936-37 • • o SEPTEMBER 7—We started back to school again. 17— A Liquid Air Demonstration was given by J.

This was the first costume play the Thespians have attempted for a long time and the picturesque and appropriate costumes together with the splendid work of the cast made it a successful and entertaining performance. The play dealt with the tribulations of the aristocratic Pyncheon family of old Salem who for generations have lived in their ancestral mansion of the seven gables over which looms the ancient curse of Wizard Maul.

The play proved very successful as the young set recognized themselves in their own experiences and misfortunes, while their elders loved it because it enabled them to recapture the essence of their own youth.

The Maple Leaves Staff consists of about 20 members, including advertis- ing agents. Any position on this staff will be instructive, entertaining and profitable. Service on this staff will be one in which you may help your school. After serving a year on the staff as Sophomore Representative, I can truth- fully say that any student receiving a position on the staff will not regret it. It is very important that the students who are elected to this staff be good workers and keep up with their lessons. It would be well to keep this in m'nd when electing members to serve on the staff. I am sure that you will do your best in electing members to this staff who follow the above rules. If this is done I can promise you a bigger and better Maple Leaves for nineteen hundred ar.d thirty-eight. —BOBBY GROSS, Sophomore Representative on the Maple Leaves Staff. Ninety-six CLASS LLCLLECy • • • One summer day so very hot, I slipped into a forest cool, I lay me down to dream and think Beside a quiet crystal pool. I rested on the mossy bank And grazed into the waters deep, And grazing: saw such wondrous sights, Methinks I must have been asleep. I saw within those waters clear A world of future history----- Ten years flew by, and there I saw All of my friends of Fairmont Hi. The scene which first did meet my eye Was of Detroit’s towering walls; There, William Goetz, its newest mayor Executed fine new laws. Now William had a visitor, His valuable minutes filling Twas Helen Peters—but they called her By a name that sounds like Gillan. And here was Elinor Johnson Composing music of the wonders of Heaven; It seemed Detroit held some charms For the girls of the class of ’37. The next I saw was Morgantown, And here was “Dobbie” teaching swimming. Coaching games and rythmic dances, With many happy students winning. Down in Kingwood right next door Was Arthur Brown, winning fame As editor of the Kingwood paper, He d won himself a noble name. Grafton now is a flourishing city; Its political boss is Robert Judy, He maintains a policy of highest living, And makes the townsfolk do their duty. Mary Alice Moats has had a career Which is truly unusual ’tis said; She started to be a designer of gowns, But she never would sell them—she wore them instead. Jean Lawry is good in advertising She has a slant unusual and new, But she has to struggle to keep her concern From being made fun of by ballyhoo! I next saw up in New York City In a Park Avenue pent house fair; Mrs. “— ------—” nee “Jacky” Vincent Who’s blissfully married and living on air. Betty Brown is making whoopee Just traveling up and down the world; In Paris she ran into Julia Testa Who’s wed to an exiled earl. Of all the girls of ’37 “Kook” Hess has had the best time, She’s married and has eleven children And adopted enough to make 29. Of all the boys of ’37 Ned Pence has had the most fun He’s had at least four wives And at last has found the right one. In Washington, I saw Bonnie Lee Cohn Head of a world famous beauty concern Bonnie herself was a ravishing queen Vamping the Congressmen at every turn. And, there was Glenn Dale Clayton holding court A-singing songs in the opera house, And as a painter, had won a prize, For a still life “Portrait of a Mouse”. George Moran was editor of “Police Gazette” And he also wrote society notes But George’s meant for greater things Just now he’s sowing wild oats. Then there flashed across my view A school house just then letting out; Jean and Jane as teachers, made Two howling successes, no doubt! Down in Pittsburgh was Laddie Amos, Happily married and settled down; And Rollin Carpenter living near by, Was a giddy business man about town. Milton Tetrick has a transcontinental air- ship And his hostess is Edna Franklin, It really is a very fine airship But he has yet his laurals to win. Ninety-eight CLASS CLCLLLCr (CONTINUED) In Chicago I heard an orchestra, The best one I’ve heard for so long:, It was Dave Lombardo and his “Royal Fair- monters”, And they've never gotten the gong:. James Moore with his sax and clarinet Had his name on all the front pages He is one of the “Royal Fairmonters”; And a featured musician of Dave’s. Down in Roanoke was Mary Carroll She was in the talking profession And Charles Morace of tnat neighborhood Led a choir with great expression. Harold Ballangee is now a preacher Of eloquent and noble fame; And Mary Lou Crites is teaching there, But “Crites” isn’t her very last name. Barbara Clinton was an author of no mean repute, And a great conversationalist, too; But she threw her career away for love, Was that the human thing to do? Now James Pallota was a lawyer; And sharp as a tool you’ll see, His client just then was Doris Miller Getting rid of husband number three. Everyone knows that Rosalie Cole Was always domestically inclined, She’s married now and keeping house The prettiest one you'll find. I gazed once more on Fairmont town Which I’d known in days gone by, There Edna Ridenour taught economics At dear olcf Fairmont High. The next thing I saw was a soft drink shop Once owned by Jack L. Cross, But he “drank’ all the profit And finally sold at a loss. My eyes traveled back to the Capital city And into the room where congress held ses- sion There Roger Leeper was struggling To bring us out of another depression. Frank Lloyd and Barbara Fankhauser From the class of ’37 Are now out there in Hollywood Co-starred in “Seventh Heaven”. “Ricky” Marro has a circus The greatest that ever was seen. And who do you think was the trapeze per- former? None other than our “Little Steve”. Also I saw at this circus The world’s greatest tight-rope walker and the latest wilcf-west hero If you take them respectively, they are Betty Wegerich and Anthony Yanero. My view then changed to a far-off region, And I next found myself in Hungary, It seems they had lost their strong religion And David Curry was their missionary. Bob Barns has a spiffy night club And the name of it is the “Glutton” His master of ceremonies is Herman Sum- mers, And his featured artist, “Empo Sutton”. John Mulvehill has a radio station, Cora Stingo is a hotel hostess Lewis Shroyer’s busy making a nation And Betty Acker’s a celebrated organist. I leaned down closer to the pool— But I lost my balance, alas! I went flying and whirling through worlds of space Into my little pool ker-splash! I’m back down on earth in my forest now, Amr quite cooled off from my dip in the pool; I’ve had a grand time with some beautiful dreams I wonder if they’re real—or am I a fool? —Georganne Murray.
