Our maples, oaks, dogwood-even our little bridge-picture the past, present, and the future most distinctly in our minds. It is our desire to create a greater appreciation for the beau- ties of our campus. In presenting ouriannual we hope that we have achieved our purpose. 1 i QQ..- M' I , vu ORA M.

Yes, whether you want the morning paper or a report on Zumalacarrequi, she will do her best to find it for you. C Our librarian is one member of the faculty who has been of service to e P' every Sophomore, Junior and Senior in Fairmont Senior High School. ' ' From early in the morning until after four o'clock she answers our A ii' endless questions, tries to quiet those persistent giggles and guffaws which issue from behind books, and a million other tasks. -'- To you, Miss Bradbury, our kind, helpful and very competent librarian, we dedicate this 1940 Maple Leaves, and hope that you will ever keep it as a token of our Wann feeling for you.

IC. BU C K E Y Principal According to the records Mr. Buckey has the official title of Prin- cipal , but to the children of his Loop Park household, he's more than that -he's the Boss! We like to think of him as a sort of stepfather. Defined by Webster, it means a second father . In reality, that's what he has come to mean to us-we turn to him for everything from advice to making loans. This year Mr. Buckey had the thrill of watching his boys take three basketball tournaments, and he topped it all off by celebrating the State Championship victory on his birthday. To him goes credit for seeing us successfully through our most difficult and frisky years. So it is with gratitude and respect that we hail our understanding stepfather and our most acceptable Boss! 'I'l'lN DORIS JACKSON Secretary Just as we think of Mr. Buckey as a father, we have come to think of Miss Jackson as a big sister to whom we turn for advice and guidance. Although she has been with us only two years, we could call it a golden anniversary, for in our opinion her services are Golden. During the summer it is she who fixes our schedules for the following year. When late or absent, it always means a trip to the office for an admit from her. Not only is she a secretary in the office, but she is in reality a secretary for each individual in school. Very few of us can claim a real sister who is any more thoughtful and helpful than this adopted one upon whom we rely so much during our high school days, IGLICV FIN llAROI,l5 STRAIGHT Mr. Straiyrhl has alle-nmlvcl Fair- mont Slalv 'I'm-:u'hl'rs' Collvxze and Wi-st Virginia llniw-rsily anil has his A.lL :mil M.A. ill-1:11-4-s.

The present set up had its inauguration in 1936 and is slowly becoming practicable as a governing unit through the cooperation of the Faculty. It has functioned as a medium through which the students are permitted to enact movements such as the Examination Exemption Bill . Among its accomplishments stands the Student Court which is made up of a jury of five students, namely, Joseph Fraker, Clyde Judy, Franklin Crewe, Bill Buckey and Tommy Judy. Once a month this court meets and holds informal trial to right the wrongs of the defendents who are sum- moned. The court is thought ideal as a medium to promote school citizen- ship. The Student Government is styled after the Federal Government of the United States, having a cabinet, senate, and house of representatives. The Cabinet consists of Bob Pence, Clyde Judy, Jack Davis, and Tommy Judy, or the president, vice-president, president of the Senior Class, presi- dent ofthe Junior Class, and president of the Sophomore Class, respectively. The Senate is composed ot' Louis Barnes, Frances Congress, Betty Jo Witt, and Anna Chiodo. The House ot' Representatives consists of Edith Beeson, Harold Casteel, Rosalie Klimens, Paul Colarusso, Angeline Delorenzo, Kathryn Fitzwater, Joseph Fraker, Eleanor Hawkins, Marjorie Hess, Mary Martha McCrosky, Mildred Murphy, Bud Parker, James Patton, Irene Pepper, Bob Perkins, Bill Reed, Bill Riggs, Sam Ruggierio, Dolores Shackelford, Edrabelle Solt, Helen Teti, Anna Laura Thompson, and Betty Wilt. The Speaker of the House is Joseph Fraker. There is a Supreme Court composed of: Mr. Buckey, by virtue of his position, Mr. Ludwig, the advisor, and Miss Rock, by choice of the Faculty. All bills and resolutions passed by the Student Government must be passed by the Supreme Court. l I l 'l'Y-lilGH'l' Student Government First Row: Second Row ' Third Row: Fourth Row ' Nllll-llltxllllDL'l'S.

The band you hear playing now is the Fairmont High band. They make a striking picture in their blue and white uniforms. Such were the remarks made by the radio commentator during the regional and state tournaments. During the greater part of the basketball season the band had to pay their own way but we believe that toward the end of the season the student body realized what an injustice had been done and perhaps next year this will be remedied. Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat-, oomp-pah, oomp-pah, there's the West Side Band. Where? Well, during the year it might have been at any one of a score of places. First there were our fotoball games. What's a football game without some rousing band music Think what our cheers would have sounded like without the drums in the band. Then there were the basketball tournaments. It's our guess that the band's music did more to cheer the team on to victory than We can imagine. 0fCllQStf8 The Orchestra is an extra-curricular activity, but it is certainly an essential link in stimulating school spirit and in making ours a first class high school. At almost every assembly, not to mention various other programs, our orchestra has been right there to add generously to the entertainment. Besides the enjoyment and experience the members of the orchestra get f1'om playing here, they also receive excellent instrumental instruction. Chances are that many of our musical students are just beginning their musical careers. Probably some day they will have their own orchestra or maybe one of them will take Mr. Arnett's place.

Who knows but what the stellar roles will be taken by young hopefuls who are now members of our own Choral Club? The Choral Club has already done quite a bit of entertaining in Fairmont. They appeared at the Billingslea Memorial Church, a meeting of the Kiwanis Club, and various other places in town. At Christmas they offered Christmas carols which were truly lovely and entirely in keeping with the season. Later they, along with the Boys' Glee Club, gave another program for our school. It was a program of music made up of various classifications. As the concluding number of a delightful program, they sang the ''never-to-be-forgotten number--Deep Purple. Remember, how all the lights were turned off except the purple ones? A deep purple accompanied them with a brilliant arrangement of the piece. It was lovely as were all the other numbers.

According to all the reports it's a gyp that all the student body can't sit in on some of the performances of the Dramatic ??? Students. Seein' as how we can't really take part in some of the hilarious times they have, if you'll use your imagination a wee bit maybe we can give you some suggestions that will enable you to visualize some of their antics. Bob Pence once gave an original monologue in which he took the part of the basketball captain who was giving the boys a pep talk during time out in an exciting game. In his excitement he made a statement for which he later felt obligated to apologize to Miss Jenkins. Without much effort we can see Maxene Nye portraying a seasick trav- eler. During the study of pantomimes when no properties were allowed it seems that Mildred Fimple was an Indian sneaking through a forest. She stopped, hid behind a tree, peerd around it and, seeing that all was well, proceded straight ahead right through the tree. ik lk ll Sk National Thesnians 4' ll' Some day perhaps the bright lights wil spell out the name of some member of our National Thespians .

In years to come, when we dig down into our collections of memory aids and high school souvenirs to get out ur Maple Leaves, chances are that there will be a collection of Hi-Lifes bundled together and laid in among our other treasures. After we look through the Maple Leaves and recall the faces of our old acquaintances, we'll don our specks and settle down with our Hi-Life for a few hours of checking up on the inside dope of the Belles of the Ball and the Beau Brummels of 1938-39.

The Junior Ded Cross Sk 41 HF Pk The scene is a home of a poor family in the vicinity of Fairmont. The mother is a widow, striving to provide for her child, a little girl. The time is about a week before Christmas. The child is told by her mother that perhaps Santa Claus won't come this year, not because she has been bad, but he has so many places to go that every year he has to leave some one out and perhaps this year it will be her turn to be left out and she musn't feel too badly about it. But when Christmas morning comes, the child can't keep from crawling out of her bed to make sure Whether or not Santa Claus has been there. Put yourself in her place and imagine the happiness she experienced when she found a rag doll left for her. The child gave Santa Claus the credit for the doll, but the grateful mother knelt that night and blessed the Red Cross and the girls who had given their time and care to the making of her child's doll. Making dolls is just one of the many things the Red Cross has done this year. They sold tuberculosis bangles and also conducted the Red Cross Roll Call. The program of dancing electrons was sponsored by this organization and for another assembly program they used their dramatic talent and presented a play, The Price We Pay. This was accompanied by a movie which gave further illustrations of-the price we pay-for carelessness. The officers are: President .... A ......

SIXTY-NINE National Honor Society X Q 5 Q Though it's hard to understand, there seems to be a more-than-average amount of brains in our high school even though some of us don't feel that we're quite up to par-especially when the teechers catch us nappin' and we sit and pretend that we have the answer right on the tip of our tongue, while all the time our wide-open mouths and the far-away look in our eyes give us away. We snap our fingers a couple of times trying to coax an answer out that won't be entirely wrong. The brains that are lacking in some, seem to have been given to a group of people who really do have the answers right on the tip of their tongues and have no difficulty getting it out. We refer, of course, to those fortunate ones who not only have the right answers at the right time, but to those who have the distinct honor of belonging to the National Honor Society. They are chosen primarily on the basis of scholarship, but leadership, character, and service play an important part. New members who were taken into the club the second semester are Bill Smoot, Angeline DeLorenzo, Bob Pence, Mary Jo Gattain, Dorotha Hayes, Jeanne Bowman, Mary Jean Abbott, Ann McCray, Richard Pizatella, Virginia Moran, James Hare, John Boomer, George Davis, Paul Gotses, and Richard Wittman. Officers who served during the first semester were, Joseph Fraker, president, Jack Anderson, vice-president, Frances Congress, secretary. Second semester officers were, Bill Smoot, president, Mary Jean Ab- bott, vice-president, and Angeline Delorenzo, secretary.

Well I should say so! The G. Rfs have a summer camp. and only those who have attended it can really understand just what it can mean. They are given a chance to get away from their usual environment and that in itself means a lot to anyone. The rising hour is 6 a. m. and before dressing everyone takes a dip in the swimming pool. Then breakfast. After that they clean up their cabin and dress for a long hike accompanied by a counselor, usually one who has majored in biology. After returning from the hike, they go swimming and eat again. Then follows a free hour which is usually spent writing letters, working on handi- craft, or just resting. Then they discover it's time to go for another dip. Following dinner in the evening comes assembly around the campfire. Last treat in the day they tells us is peanut butter and crackers, bed, taps, and silence. Well-anyway-some people call it silence. This is just one of the many activities of the Girl Reserves who have met regularly this year under the very fine leadership of their president. Mantie Wilson.

Polar Bears fight, fight, fight, fight, fight! grew to be a familiar cheer during the year as it was one of many yells that our cheerleaders led throughout our sports campaign this season to pull our team out of a hole and pep them up. At the state tournament, lVIary Katherine Francesco was awarded a silver cup in recognition of her good work as the best cheerleader of the tournament. Dot Gillette, although she did not receive any award, was also an outstanding cheerleader in our estimation and deserves pill-lenty of credit and consideration.

They sponsored two moving pictures, held a spaghetti dinner and dance afterwards, and put on the Heart Hour in which talented students from our own school took part. Proceeds from all these affairs went toward the purchasing of sweaters donated to the seniors for playing on the football team. To Faber Herbert goes much ofthe credit for making the activities of this club such a success this year. To gain admission to the club, one must be a member of the football or basketball team, although he does not have to participate in over halt' ol' thc games played by the team.

EIGHTY-TWO 1. 1. x A ,. .9 m I z SEPTEMBER 9 In the first game of their 1938 schedule the Polar Bears could do no better than tie Abe Hickman's Fairview Indians 0-0. Both teams showed Hgregnnessn as both had numerous scoring chances but neither team could cas in . At the end of the regulation season both Fairview and West Fairmont were tied for the county championship and in a post season game to pro- cgaim a winner on Thanksgiving Day, ole man winter won out with a foot o snow. SEPTEMBER 16 In the first game played in the East-West stadium, the Bears tamed the Monongah Lions to the tune of 25 to 0. An odd incident in this game was the fact that Peters, Fairmont center, scored two touchdowns. In this game Fairmont blocked two Monongah punts. SEPTEMBER 23 . On September 23, the Bears tied a favored Mannington team 0-0. The Green and White had many scoring chances but the Blue and White forward wall rose to the occasion and held in a goal line stand. The game ended with Mannington in possession of the pigskin on the Bears' 'two-yard line. Between halves the Mannington and Fairmont bands, respectively, gave exciting performances. S SEPTEMBER 30 The Polar Bears lost their first away game to Washington Irving's Hilltoppers of Clarksburg 0-13. Paugh, Clarksburg halfback, scored both W. I. touchdowns on long runs. The Bears came onto the field wearing white shirts with blue numbers on them. Both bands gave good exhibitions during the half. OCTOBER 8 In the highlight of their schedule the Polar Bears held a favored Benwood Union team to a 12-12 tie. The Polar Bears scored first near the end of the game, and Benwood scored two quick touchdowns on passes. Then, when all seemed lost for the home team, Sheets, substitute for the Bears, scored a touchdown to tie things up and also end the scoring for the game. The Benwood band, one of the best to ever perform -here, and the Polar Bear band put on an excellent exhibition between the halves. OCTOBER 15 After winning a moral victory by tying Benwood Union, the Bears journeyed to Clarksburg, only to meet defeat at the hands of the Victory Eagles 27-6. Carmen -Carlone produced the Polar Bears' only touchdown on a sprint down the sideline during the third quarter. For the Bears, the work of Carmen Carlone, Bill Kirk, and Captain Roy Peters stood out. EIGHTY-THREE u 1-L' . L I if.. . 'wa 2:.L..LAl4bHI..l 1 Liana . , OCTOBER 21 A In another highlight of their 1938 schedule played at Weirton, the Polar Bears were completely overwhelmed to the tune of 41 to 0. The Red Riders of Weirton, who have scored six consecutive victories this fall, scored in every period. The Bears made seven first downs to 13 for Weirton. Faber Herbert and Carney Davis shined for the Bears in this game. OCTOBER 28 Smarting from two successive defeats, the Polar Bears upset the old dope bucket by taming the favored Grafton Bearcats 9-7 in their fourth and final game played away. Rocco Priolette scored the Bears' touchdown and Carney Davis scored a safety. NOVEMBER 4 After a month's absence, the Polar Bears returned to Fairmont to lose an 18-7 decision to the Shfinnston Tigers. Before the first period was two minutes over one of Parker's passes boomeranged on him and resulted in an interception which was good for a six-point lead for Shinnston, which they never relinquished. Later in the game Beafore completed a long forward pass from Parker for the Bears' cgnlyhgally after which Captain Peters place-kicked the point after the ouc own. NOVEMBER 11 West Fairmont Polars nosed out East Fairmont 7 to 6 to gain the city championship. The Bees scored in the third period on a long pass. When the last period was almost over, Polar Bear backers thought the game lost, but a rookie combination, composed of Ken Whistler and Jack Sheets, clicked late in the game to account for the Blue and Wfhite's score. Roy Peters' perfect placement kick for point after touchdown gave the Bears a lead that they never relinquished. Carrol Kearns, Captain Peters and Bob Conaway stood out on the defense while Rocco Priolette, Ken Whistler and Carmen Carlone starred on the offense. NOVEMBER 18 , In the last game of their 1938 schedule, the Polar Bears triumphed over the Farmington Farmers 12-0 in a game that enabled the Dawsonmen to tie the Fairview Indians for the County Football Championship. Babe Nimblett played the best ball for the winners, starring both of- fensively and defensviely in addition to scoring one of the Bears' six- pointers. The Polar Bears scored once in the first period and in the third period, crossed the payoff stripe for the second time. Captain Roy Peters, Carney Davis, and Bob Conaway starred for the linemen while Paul Babe Nimblett and Rocco Priolette starred in the backfield. EIGHTY-FOUR l ,' swan: F. l'I.

Don Tuckwiller in the 100-yard free style had a time of 1.16 and did not qualify and Jack 'Schimmel also swimming the 100-yard free style, had a time of 1.27 which was also too slow to qualify for the finals. All of the last three won their individual feats. ' In the finals Wheeling high school virtually walked away with the meet, scoring 5695 points.

DEAR DIDDY, Time 'has passed, I'll admit, but I will try to cram it all on one page. We've had a wonderful year at school, so I can't blame you for wanting to hear all about it. , Wellllll, September twelfth was the first day of school. Oh fatal day, and all the students of our dear institution began the process of swallowing breakfasts and grabbing books. Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors trudged eagerly to school. The second day of school, Mousie joined Betty Lee, Sarah Jane, and Bettie as a Band Sponsor, and Joe and John D. were elected to help Dot and Kassie . We were trying to get used to studying when Hi-Life furnished a refreshing pause with a swingeroo by Frank Knutti and his Swingsters .... Then came the Yugoslavs with a Hey hai .... Mr. Pence made a good inaugural speech, yes, a good one .... The four C's make the man, said Mr Geoffrey Morgan .... and then there was Mrs, Morgan's Studio of Dancing offering a grand program. My, how the pennies flew, but on to more gruesome sights such as the Invisible Man . 'Goose flesh !. .... We had a thuse meeting on Thursday and our Polar Bears made speeches . Then on Armistice Day we beat East Side 7 to 6. Hoarse, but oh, we were so happy! Then every morning we heard the pleasing voice of B. Smoot, your daily bulletin reporter, saying, Au revoir . . . Finally the day came when it was made possible for us to relax and delve into the realm of Terpsichore, in other words everybody jived in Room 102 at 12:30 .... Randy said, Hey, do you want to buy a raffle on the KL ?UB turkey? . . . That indus- trious Miss Nunn and her group scraped up the pounds and walked off with the cup. The Lettermen and their friends hied themselves down to the cafeteria and wrestled with steaming spaghetti. There was no school the Friday after Thanksgiving and everyone took time out to recover from the ravages of a feast. Then December was welcomed in by the Christmas Parade. On Friday, December 2, we had a regular schedule .... Ah, Tom Brown of Culver, sighhhhh .... A big event was the Hi-Life Follies, fsorry you had to miss ith 'twas indeed stupendous, colossal, etc., etc .... Then there was that G-Man who said that women were vicious. Tch, tch. Our Christmas program was truly beautiful and unforgettable. Mil- lions of bright candles lit up the faces of the choir as soft music poured forth and we started home for our Christmas holidays strangely subdued. Happy Noo Year! Then on the second of January we came back to school. Oh joy! On the twenty-third we were supposed to turn over a new leaf and stuff and start the new semester with a bang . Well, we started the new semester. Our first regular assembly in 1939 was a play put on by the Jr. Red Cross Club. Jack Hawkins kept wanting to play something. He finally shot some poor child. That Lettermen's Heart Hour was about the biggest dime's worth of entertainment we have had this year. Thrills chase each other up and down one's spine when Eileen touches those high notes and that Margo sure throws a mean rose, too .... A quartette from the Ford Sunday Even- ing Hour sang beautifully one morning for us. There was a young man who looked exactly like Errol Flynn and the girls simply swooned in the aisles. With excited titters they stampeded the poor fellow and followed him out to his car. .All that on account of one pair of pants! NINETY-NINE .gm 'I 'M We learned all the fine points of burglary in Sham , a clever play presented by the Thespians. Through the Student Government, the Crowell Publishing Company offered its plan for the purchase of a.moving picture camera for our school. Then the subscription campaign was started and Howard Stewart was high salesman again this year. Hey, did I tell you in my last epistle that Teecher Cunningham had her hair cut off? That was a big event. We proed and conned it for some time in French class . . . . On account of the fact that Dr. Baker said that the sand in it would wear down one's teeth, I have decided to give up my chewing tobacco .... You know as I have gone down the halls for the last few weeks I have been hearing more people singing, Brr..ee..akey...sakey..want some...sea..fooood Momma... Well, we just went to see the Junior Play, This Genius Busi- ness , and, being Juniors, we should remember our class and say that the play was good I guess you heard how we came along through the sectional and regional tournaments. Not bad, eh? Then three exciting days in Morgantown, but the most thrilling part of it all was when we looked at the scoreboard and .saw that the Polar Bears were State Champs. We yelled louder than Carol ean . Say, our friend Babe cashed in at Bank Nite one evening and the result was a jiloppy that rivals Joseph's coat and then some. We surely have a REAL principal. The Monday following that most eventful Saturday night, the shining gold trophy was presented to our school by Punkin . Speeches of many varieties were made,,but probably no speech will be remembered longer than Skinner's tale of the three chews of Mail Pouch. Then we marched, singing and cheering, down the avenue to the Court House where t-he air was rent by the gusty rhythmical criesofF..A..I..R..M..O..N..T...Then weall trooped over to the Eastland to take in Brother Rat After the show we walked home in the downpour and, though we resembled drowned rats in more ways than one, our pride in F. H. S. and in being State Champs was not even dampened a little bit. Well, about this time I guess I should recommend a good oculist. But this brings me up-to-date and I've really only touched the high spots of our goings-on and doings. Oh, its been a great year, but there is a lot to look forward to . . . that Senior Play, Try It With Alice , a Senior Prom, maybe, the day when that wunnerful???annua1 will come out, Commence- ment, and just loads of other things. And say, you'd better write me soon . . . or else. Beware, don't let that old spring fever get you, too. Hooooo Hummmmmmm and a Lotta love Me ONE HUNDRED ..... i....mi fi . , V .

The club also strives to stimulate good school spirit and practice good fellowship. During the past year the members have purchased jackets that bear the club emblem on the sleevs. These green and white jackets give the school a collegiate air. A Turkey Raffle, sponsored by the club before Thanksgiving, proved successful in the disposing of a ten-pound turkey. To arouse school spirit all through the basketball season the KLYUB sponsored a What's the Answer program over the P. A. System. Every morning a question would be asked and at the end of the week the winner was presented with a free ticket to one of the home games. The success of these projects and activities of the club was due to the outstanding sponsorship of Mr. Otis Grimes, and the leadership of the officers and the cooperation of the members.

All around you, you can see people with that tired look, squinting, frowning, many prematurely with crows feet and wrinkles, resulting mainly from poor light. Don't abuse your eyes. Scientifically designed I. E. S. Better Sight Lamps are best for seeing . . . . and they are beautiful in design. We suggest you look at the new models now on display at electrical and department stores. Regardless of the price you pay for a lamp, if it is to be used for producing seeing light be quite sure that it carries a genuine I. E. S. tag.
