The Class of Nineteen Hundred Forty-Two Presents MAPLE LEAVES SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL ♦ FAIRMONT, W. VA. MAY ♦ 19 1 Arty Archibald” Watches the Progress of Our Students Through Their Courses Until Graduation Mv name is Artie Archibald. Who am I? Why, I am tlie picture on the cover of this Maple Leaves. I was christened Artie Archibald because the first three letters in my name spell the theme of this year book—-A K T. Even though I am only a picture. I have much in common with you students of Fairmont Senior High. Sompare us and see. When my master first conceived me, I wasn’t much of any- thing -just a rough sketch. Hut, I had promise! Such are you Sophomores. Von are the beginning and foundation of the picture. You have promise! Then, my master added more lines here; more strokes there. This was called “filling in the details’ . I was no longer a few vague lines; 1 was a definite figure. This stage of the picture represents you Juniors who now are finding your place in the school and its activities. Alas! however, I was still not completed. So again my master took up his brush, and this time he added the last step, shading. I was now finished. Yes, Artie Archibald was a complete picture. This back- ground, which completed Artie, was added to the Seniors. Thus, from a vague figure the Senfbrs emerge a personality. However, unlike Artie, they are not complete. Luckily, they may still add to the picture and strive for a masterpiece. 5 Table of Contents I. Title I'age. I!. Introduction. III. The School. Sophomore 'lass. Junior ('lass. Senior ('lass. Faculty.

BUCKEY Our Mastercraftsman Mr. Buckey is our mastercraftsman. As principal of our high school, he directs and guides us as one would guide a brush in its sweep across the canvas of school life, problems, and activities. The most difficult problem of the mastercraftsman is to see that the many different colors blend to form a perfect color scheme. This huge job of keeping the many different colors blending harmoniously is accomplished by Mr. Buckey through his ability to understand our problems and through his past years of experience. If a disagreeable color should appear which might cause a defect in the picture, Mr. Buckey very efficiently reestablishes the balance of color. Under his watchful eyes the picture is kept in perfect order and harmony. 10 MISS DORIS JACKSON The Craftsman’s Helper A mastercraftsman’s work is difficult and requires a helper so that it may he accomplished more easily and quickly. This important job is carried on by Miss Jackson. The instructions on how and where to apply the colors are given her by Mr. Buckey and she very skilfully carries them out. She is always willing: to direct us in any matter and helps in any way she can. From her we receive information and guidance in any problem that may be troubling: us. Our colors are mixed and then applied each in its proper place by Miss Jackson; thus, she makes them blend into an even greater picture of harmony. 11 n Their First Year at West High Scho MISS PICKERILL’S GROUP COPELAND’S GROUP HSS PICKERILL GROUP: First Row—Ignore Colantino, Betty Lee Ellis, Padline sfliderfRuth Slusser, Bei Campbell, Jennie Ruben, Sarah Kathryn Dcyle, Dorthaleen Hawkins.

All the basic materials necessary for making a finished picture are there. He, however, is just the rough outlien who as time passes grows and develops adding knowledge and culture, which are the highlights and shadings that add life and charm to the complete picture. In association with different personalities in high school he begins to acquire the judgment, tolerence, and poise that marks the cultured person. The system of dividing the school into grops helps the pupil to make many new friends, because he is assembled with boys and girls other than those coining from his former school. Although important, this is by no means the only function of a group. Meeting for a few moments everyday in the home-room with a teacher as advisor the students transact neces- sary business. Each group lias a president who takes charge. Announcements and problems concerning the school are received over the public address system. Since tin sophomore class has no large project, the average sophomore has much time to devote to darning about the school and preparing to be a good junior. The fine spirit and rousing cheers of all the sophomores at the games, coupled with their keen enjoyment, is inspiring to the players. Their student government members, elected because of their ability and industry, do an efficient job of representing their class. These members, six representatives and two senators, are elected the proceeding year in the junior high schools. The 1940-1941 representatives are Helen Jean Bartlett, Herald Reese, James Beech, Frances Colbert, Norma Grise, Bruce McGinnis, Marjorie Reed, Frances Samargo; the senators are Turley Fleming and Mary Elizabeth Williamson.

An Increase in Personality Development Gives Ah! Some changes can be seen in the incomplete picture of a year ago. The unsophisti- cated simplicity and awkwardness are partly gone. Already improvement can be noted; the picture is not yet finished and ready for the world by any means, but a few flaws have been removed and other pleasing touches have been added. With a wider range of experiences and increased mental ability, the junior is now ready for an advanced selection of activities and he can carry more responsibilities. One of the biggest projects of the junior class is the production of the year book. The staff, elected at the end of the sophomore year, starts work at the beginning of school and works for the rest of the term. An advisor from the faculty oversees and helps the staff. Working on Maple Leaves, many junior students gain valuable exeperieuce. Another outstanding event in the junior’s schedule is the class play. Any junior who has maintained an 85% average, can participate provided he doesn’t let the play interfere with his school work. On February 21, 1941, the class presented “Old Doc”, a three act comedy by Jean Leg Latham. Members of the cast included Martin Kerchelich. Bill Brown, Biil Taylor. Susan Kn fcht. Julia DeBolt. Harry Edison. Dorothy Curtis. Rod Dixon, Warren Wysner, Barbara Berry, Jean Rice. Helen Elmslie, Mary F. Knight, Jeanne Soule and Jane Sargeant. The members of the staff were: Mary Fayne Acker, Tessie Phares, Betty Yigli anco, Howard Hawkins, Barbara Johnston, Harriet Helmick, Bobby Cohen, Helen Uotses, Agnes Tchinski, Doris Lee Thomas, Bob Schimmel, Ray Epperley, Sam Marra, Jean Rice, Harry Edison, Bud Stout. Not to be neglected is their representation in the student government. The seven repre- sentatives are Bertus Mercer, John Bonfantino, Agnes Tchinski, Betty Coe. James Fits- hugh, Fred Heman and Howard Chipper; Howard Hawkins and Herschel Nichols are the two Senators. 18 V The Picture a M T- u. t -ttuvJi y r _ r BILL TAYIX R. “Joop” prefers the name “Lanie.” Maybe it’s the nickname for Elaine. His ambition is to be a chemical engineer. Collecting pennants and souvenirs is his hobby. His activities are State Chorus and KL?UB, Choral Club, Bridge Club, and French Club. ALICE JANE WELLMAN. One of our most talented band majorettes is Alice. The ambition for which she strives is to bccomea dentist. Her favorite boy’s name is “Bob.” We all wonder why? She is an ardent stamp collector by hobby. She 'belongs to the Athletic Club and swimmingJs her fayorite spor ALBERT ANGELILLI. “Devil” wants to oe an airp pilot. His hobby , of course, is airplanes. He is also A simply “crazy” about football. He is a member of the | Band, the orchestra. Hi-Y and Military Science. HELEN GOTSES. “Gotsy,” a person with a very pleasing personality, wishes to become a secretary. “Lee” is the boy’s name she has chosen. She likes to study music and play an exciting game of tennis. Her activi- ties consist of Girls’ Athletic Club. Commercial Club. Home Room President, and Maple Leaves. � st juniors, the nameyC Meanijle, one ot our pre wants to be a secretary. She has chos “Dave” as her favorite. Her hobby is dancing and her sW yJ favorite sport is swimming. Her activities are the Girls’ Athletic and Commercial clubs. PAUL TOOTHMAN. Toot! Toot! Was that a clarinet we heard? I guess we were right, for “Toothpick” is a member of our Jitterbug orchestra. His hobby is radio work and he wants to become a radio serviceman. His favorite sport is football and his favorite girl’s name is “Lee.” He belongs to the Band and Orchestra. RAYMOND VERSTRAT. Raymond, we are sorry to say, has withdrawn from school; however, he was studying to be a mechanic when he was here. “Mussy” seemed to be his nickname. His favorites were, and probably still are, dating girls, and playing golf. VIRGINIA LEE HAWKINS. Two of our local boys must be in suspense because vivacious “Ginny” has no pref- erence between “Chuck” and “LeRoy.” She is about the best of our local skaters and likes football as to sports. She wants to be a secretary and she is a mem- ber of the Thespians. BETTY LOUISE HUPP. We knew we could find at least one young lady whose ambition is to be a housewife and Penny turned out to be one. Dates are her hobby and she likes golf as a sport. She is a member of the Dancing Club, and of Hi-Life staff. BETTY VIGLIANCO. Betty’s hobby is reading. She’s a bit shy about her ambition, only saying she hopes to make a place for herself in the world. Badminton and table tennis are her idea of a goodtime. Her activities included Choral Club, Maple Leaves, Junior Class sec- retary, and group president. ROBERT LEROY HEFFNER. To this serious-minded young chap Maple Leaves owes much of itself. Base- ball is his hobby and he hopes to become an engineer. Bud has proved his executive ability time and time again as Junior Class President, ’40-’41, Editor-in- chief of Maple Leaves, 40-’41, and student govern- ment ’39-’41. 19 (OMAS FINNERIN ambition.

KL:UB, All State Chorus, French Club and Glee Club make up his activities. JANE SARGEANT. “Janie” has not yet decided what she wants to be when she “grows up.” The grades that she makes in school prove that in her busi- ness life she will succeed. To have a good time is probably what she would choose as her hobby. N’est-ce pas? HAROLD AMOS. Bashful Dick is des- tined to be one of our future electrical engineers. Football takes his interest in the field of sports and photography as a hobby. We might say that Betty is his female interest. He is a member of the KL?UB, and Maple Leaves. DORIS JEAN BRITTON. My! Another future secretary. “Doedy” passes her time by saving post cards—From Bob? We don’t know, but that’s her favorite name. Swimming and skating are her sports and her activities include danc- ing. MALDEN STOUT, JR. “Sleepy John” plans to follow in the field of chem- istry. His hobby is taking pictures and we all know why “Barbara” heads his list of girls’ names. Football is “THE” sport with him. Maple Leaves, Thes- pians, KL?UB, Thespian Contest Play, and Band are his activities. JULIA DEBOLT. Julie is quite a sport enthusiast when it comes to Football and Basketball. Somewhere, sometime she longs to enter the great game of politics. Riding street cars and knit- ting sweaters are her favorite pas- times. She is a public address an- SALLY WADDELL. “Sal” is one of our most enthusiastic and likable students. Her hobby is window-shopping and her favorite sport is swimming, in which she excels. The many activities of “Sal” include All State Chorus, Vice- President Choral Club, Thespians, and “Masque and Gavel.” JAMES FITZHUGH. Wonder why tow- headed Jimmy thinks the name “Dolly” is pretty? Hunting and fishing are his favorite means of spending a short va- cation. Wouldn’t he look handsome swinging along in a sailor suit? That’s right. He wants to join the navy. Ac- tivities at school are Student Govern- ment, KL?UB, and Choral Club. HARRIET HELMICK. “Jimmy” wants to become the wife of a Navy Officer. More Fun. Her unique hobby is col- lecting menus. Golf is a top sport with her and “Johnny” a favorite name. Choral Club, Secretary of Trespians, Bridge Club, and “Boy Meets Family” include her activities. RICHARD GARRISON. Dick wants to be a chemical engineer. More power to him. Being a stamp collector is his hobby and swimming his favorite sport. We wonder why he likes the name of Patty( ?) KL?UB, and Band, are his activities. MARJORIEV c cK seeTns t frequent in Penns liks to d? lecting clothes. Athletic Club, Maple French Club. w e Intel career gij ave worfc, sf eld.

A.fA.UA and Maple Leaves. BARBARA BERRY. Junior Queen “Babs’ agrees that “Rhet” is o. k. A girl after Scarlet’s own heart, Babs likes to dance. Swimming under water and traveling are also included in her store of pleasant pastimes. She is a band sponsor and a Choral Club member and was in the Junior play this yeajy £ FREEMAN. Bama hails from the south, youyrfgree that Ire is a friend to all? When it comes to bridge playing he is a “whizzer.” His ambition is to become a real good dancer. Good luck! Football, Baseball, Bridge Club, and President of Group in- clude his whirl of activities. i. Don t RICHARD MARTZ. Dick is a regular sportsman. His favorite sport is football; and his ambition is to be a sports reporter. We take it that Joan must be rather sports-minded, too. He is a member of the KL?UB, Hi Life Staff, and Military Science Club. VIRGINIA CALDWELL “GVnny ’ is one of our most popular ladies, although she seems to take special pride in “Ken.” We take it that she goes dancing and swimming with him, for they are also among his favorites. Her ambition is to be a stenographer and a bookkeeper. MARTIN KERCHELICH. Martin spends much of his school time preparing to be an aeronautical engineer. Sports in general are his hobby. To take a walk accompanied by a shot gun and a hunting dog is only one of his many leisure time activities. Martin played the title role, “Old Doc,” in the Junior play this year. MARY ELEANOR COLARUSSO. Although dark-eyed Bary’s hobby is reading, for something a little more exciting, she likes the “pig-skin parade.” A snowy graduate nurse’s cap on her pretty dark hair is what she is striving for. If Dan doesn’t interfere first. Student Government and Maple Leaves comprise her activities. ANN ELY. Ann, widely known as “Pennie,” rather likes the name, “Mike.” From her hobby, which is collect- ing dolls, she might get ideas for her work in the future—which is to be dress designing. Among other things, she likes swimming and riding. MARVIN ROBINSON. Marvin's nickname is “Pete’ although he doesn’t go by it very often. His hobbies are playing drums and reading. He has a very unique ambition and also gives away the name of the political party which he favors, for he wants to be Vice- President on the Republican side. His favorite sports are football and baseball. He belongs to Dancing and Hi-Y Clubs. DUANE MERRIFIELD. A man of many names is Brickie,” “Doodle,” and “Red.” This is the way in which he keeps Nancy Lee from forgetting him, if she can’t remember one name she recalls another. He collects photographs and likes football. To be a clerk is his ambition. GEORGE McDOUGAL. “Red ’ is another young man looking forward to aviation. His hobby is drawing. We wonder if anything has occurred to make him think the air in safer than the ground. Maybe Mary could tell us. Football is his favorite sport. MARY FAYNE ACKER. “Two Gun” will make a very attractive model, which is her ambition. She loves horseback riding, swimming, and she is considered a very good dancer. She adores the name of Archibald. Her activities include Choral Club and Bridge Club. MARY FRANCES KNIGHT. Mary Prances is a very genial student and she is popular among her friends. Roger ranks among the highest names on her boys list and we believe she prefers swimming as a sport, although she participates in many. Motion Picture and Bridge Club include h?r activities. CAROLINE SAIITHv- iKilicd C as tbejpbpular ambition of-fbjdnjrY UfgiKH . Georgyj jfiir ; an l piT K-P' a member of XheN d to have a doctor's has.cjuisen and swim- er (avorite sports. She is Reseryte . Girl’s Athletic Club RAY WEEKLY. Somehow or other, “Skinny” doesn't exactly live up to his nickname. He is an ardent match box collector and football fan. His earnest ambition is to become an aeronautical engineer. He belongs to Band and Orchestra, Red Cross, Hi-Y, and Student Government 21 KOI)ERIC DIXON. Rod seems to find the ground un- interesting, but aspires to higher things, such as air- planes. He likes model airplanes and basketball. This is one case where a hobby might develop into an occu- pation. He wants to become an aeronautical engineer. His activities include KL?UB, Hi-Y, and Choral Club. HELEN KIMBLE. Helen has a most unique favorite name—“Oscar.” Cute isn’t he—it? As for working after she finishes school, she would like to be a secre- tary. An exciting game of football is pleasurable to her taste in a good sport. In her activities. Student Government 1939-40 was included. DOROTHY CURTIS. “Dottie” likes an unusual boy’s name. It is “Jacob.” Her ambition in life is to be a good stenographer. She likes to read as a hobby and her favorite sport is badminton. She is a member of the Choral Club. BETTY BERRY. “Betts” has decided she wants to be a nurse and she will make a very attractive one. At- tending the movies is her hobby and basketball is her favorite sport. “Johnny” is a favorite boy’s name with her. She is a member of the Girls' Athletic Club. Jtr HOWARD HAWKINS. “Bud” is a' friend of all. oe a doctor is his ambition and photography is l,:s hobby; have you seen some of his pictures? Hi-Y, Student Government, Maple Leaves, Choral Club, and all State l his many activities. AGNES TCHINSKI. Tall, studious, “Aggie” wants to belong to the group that are to be secretaries. “Rich- ard” is her favorite name and maybe that would have something to do with her liking for reading and bad- minton. She belongs to the Girl.;’ Athletic Club. JAMES PIZ ATELLA. “Buck” is a promising Junior student. His ambition is to become a very good private secretary. Betty is the name he has chosen for his favorite girl’s name. He is full of vim, vigor and vitality when it comes to a football game, which is his favorite sport. He was a member of the Maple Leaves Staff this year. DALE THOMPSON. “Mink,” one of our tall Juniors, is out for a career ir. engineering. Maybe a beginning in that field is bis hobby of airptanc modeling. His favorite sport is lootball. The activities to which he belongs are Military Science Club, KL?UB, and Dancing. ALICE VIRGINIA COLE. “Ginny” plans to be the first woman dictator and I believe she has taken a hard task upon herself (don’t you?). Letter writing is her hobby and “Bud” her favorite boy’s name. I wonder if there is any connection between the two. Dancing, Bridge, and Motion Picture Crew include her activi- ties. BETTY PEN DERG AST. “Bet,” a Student Government representative, for some reason unknown to us likes “Jimmy.” Jimmy is such a common name, it’s some- times hard to make out just who is meant. He might play basketball for that is her favorite sport. She hopes to become a secretary. MARY’ JEAN CONNOR. “Jeanie’s” favorite boy’s name is Kenny and we can now well understand why her hobby is attending basketball and football games. We feel sure she will make a very pretty and efficient secretary, which is her ambition. Mary Jean’s activi- ties include the Dancing Class and Dramatics Club. JOHN WILLIAM GILL. John is well known about school as “Bill.” How he loves to pound the drums!—or listen to them at a thrilling game of football. He strives to become a doctor. Military Science and Dancing Class are among his activities. RICHARD LEAVER SUMMERS. This “sax” player was a member of the band, Hi-Y, and Photography Club. When not thinking of Peggy, he builds model air- planes. Dick also plays badminton. To go to college is his ambition. There he might learn more about real airplanes. NORMA JEAN LILLEY. Bob and Duane are two from many of names that mean something to Lilley. She belongs to the Girls’ Athletic hlub and likes swim- ming and cycling. Some of her activities that required less energy are shell and post card collections. She hopes to become a Mach., teacher. 22 MARY JEAN bXCO “Mei py” seems to dote on the rtrfme VErMra.” One °f he mobbiesJb c o 1 l nng .J ?s t cards. The'otjw bby, da)icin� £Kj£did a lot ofin 'Dancing Athletic Club took care or. ynWZ Tavorite sport, basketball. To foi ow the footsteps of Florence Nightingale is her ambition. KENNETH N. BEALE. Although he hasn’t said so, we are inclined to think that Ken’s favorite pastime is walking —with Virginia. Above other things, this serious-minded young chap wants to be a surgeon. At present, his most enjoyable sport is basketball. MARY LOUISE STEWART. “Lou” won’t give her favorite name. Saving post cards and swimming are her fa- vorite pastimes. Being an advertiser in a large store is her ambition. I'ancing Club, Girls’ Athletic. Band, and French Club were her activities. HARRY EDISON. From a long list of friends, curley-headed “Bob” chooses “Martha” as his most cherished one. Sorry it isn’t you, girls! Photography is his hobby. Baseball, too, ranks tops in his list of favorites. A prospective aeronautical engineer, he has busied himself with the Stamp and Dancing Clubs. 1 1 : I ■ 'Ivl lilVOVJ.1 cheated. She said her favorite name was “Helen.” What can she mean by that? Making scrap books about everything and collecting fossils are her means of whiling away a few hours. Skating is another of her hob- bies. Her ambition is to be a secretary. pj J BETTY BEERBOWER. . “Bet $C-’ a quiet but attractive br Avh-eved blond, tninks “Bill” is o. k.—The name, that is. She likes to skate and we bet she cuts a pretty figure waltzing around the rink in her black and red skating outfit. Her ambition is to be a secre- tary. (Lucky boss!) HELEN LOUISE BENNETT. “Hen” is the unsuitable name of this young lady. “Bob,” we might add, is well known by her. Skating and swimming are two of her favorites. She hopes to become a nurse. She belonged to National Thespians, Choral and Bridge Clubs. HELEN VIRGINIA POTTER. Helen likes going to movies and ball games. Roller-skating and swimming also rank high with her. “Jim,” as we all know, means a lot to her. To sit in an office with a notebook on her knee is her ambition. JACK STEWART. “Jack” is simply known as just “Jack.” That is, every- one, including “Mary,” calls hi mso. Jack seems to prefer the company of the birds to that of humans. He wishes to fly an airplane. His activities were football, band, and orchestra. MARY FULTZ. Mary, known as “Tiney” to her many friends, favors the name “Ashley.” A nice cool swim on a hot day is “right up her alley.” Football, too, is a favorite means of recreation. To be an airline hostess is all right with her. HAROLD M. GASKINS JR. With all our snooping and inquiry, we just couldn’t discover one of Harold’s nick- names. Guess we just don’t know the right people. Speaking of names, do you know his favorite name? It is Ruth.” His hobby and sport are pho- tography and tennis. His : ctivities were Photography Club, Hi-Y, and Rifle Club. SARA JANE BRANNON. Tall, slim Sara Jane is often called “Suzy” by her friends. After a long day at rchool there is nothing like a long bicvcle ride to restore the pink to her cheeks and nothing that she likes better. During the summer, she is a constant visitor to the swimming pool. 23 SAM MARK A. Sammmie didn’t tell us what his hobby is but someone else said it was talking. We hope we didn’t see the wrong person. His favorite sport is football and his favorite girl’s name is “Jane.” If he works as hard when he gets out of school as he did when he was here we think he’ll make a very good doctor. HELEN CHIN AKIS. Helen’s brilliancy will help her to accomplish much success as a doctor. Going to the movies is her hobby. “Georgic Porgie” is her favorite boy’s name and baseball her favorite sport. She is a member of the Maple Leaves staff, and the Junior Red Cross. MARTHA STRAIGHT. “Snip,” a lovely junior with an equally lovely voice, likes the boy’s name “Jimmy.” Her hobby is music and her ambition is to be an opera star. She likes a game of football. Martha is a member of the Choral Club and Girl Reserves. JAMES CARMEN YANERO. Following tradition, his nickname is “Jimmy.” This brainy junior is also our peppiest cheerleader. Jim prefers a good game of baseball to football, which is rare among our students. His ambition is to be in the medical profession. ROXIE JANE FLEMING. Roxie, who has inherited the family’s blue eyes, has “Boots” as a nickname. Col- lecting post cards is her hobby. Many of these cards come from a girl in London with whom she corre- sponds. She hopes to become a teacher. The sport she follows with interest is boating, especially rowing. DORIS LEE THOMAS. “Dorie” wants to visit Europe, but from the looks of things now she will have a long wait. She particularly likes “Mark” as a boy’s name, dancing as a hobby, and swimming as a sport. Maple Leaves Staff, Girls’ Athletic, and Dancing Club in- clude her activities. JOSEPH MATHIOTT BOGGS. To follow his father’s footsteps as a newspaper man is Joe’s ambition. His hobby, of course, is writing, and his favorite sport is watching an exciting football game. KL?UB, Thes- pians, State Chorus, Choral Club, and Maple Leaves are included in his store of high school memories. PEGGY JOANNE SHINGLETON.

Among them marching in the Dad's Day Parade for Fairmont State College and the Home Coming Game in Morgantown. At nearly all the athletic affairs the band is present to urge on the team and build enthusiasm in the the crowd. This year four new twirlers have been added to the group. These make the hand more attractive and they are all conscientious about their work. Some of the leading members of the band have been Charles Shuttlesworth as drum major. Bill Watkins as Student director and the manager Richard Frazier. The band has been under the care and supervision of Glenn Arnett, siii'c 1932. Due to his excellent leadership, the organization has grown to one of the most outstanding bauds of its kind in West Virginia. THE CHORAL CLUB In years to come when such singing stars as Lily Pons, Nino Martini. Bing Crosby and Nelson Eddy have descended the ladder of sucess and fame, the placesi-which were occupied by them will be filled by others. It is probable that these spots will be taken by members of our own Choral Club. Until this year, the Choral Club was exclusively a girls club limited to about thirty members. In order that the club might carry out its musical schedule, it took in a group of boys to balance the number of girls and this move has been found highly successful. To be in the Choral Club one must have a try-out. Try-outs are held at the end of each semester. Some of the club’s activities include appearances at Billingslea Memorial Church, Kiwanis Club, and the Fairmont Junior High School. The Choral Club also furnished music for our own school at Christmas in a cantata, “The Adoration.” Our first operetta, for a «1 few years, was given this year. It was called “The Count and the Coed.” The members of this group took part in the Spring Festival, which was held at South Side Park, and will sing for the Commencement exercises in the spring. Under the able leadership of Miss Hazel Taylor, all these activities have been well done. BAND OFFICERS Student Director .......Bill Watkins Drum Major Charles Shuttlesworth Band Manager........

To do so we have formed a governing body known a The Student Government. An asembly is held near the end of each term in which members of the student body are nominated for the offices of President. Vice President, and Secretary for the coming year. After all parties have had time for campaign work an election is held in which these above mentioned offices are filled. In the government of the United States the bodies representing the people are the Sen- ate and the House of Representatives. A similar situation is found in our Student Govern- ment. To elect our Senate, each of the classes has a meeting, and a number of people are nominated for these offices. Later an election is held to decide on the two members. In each home-room and election is held to choose a member to the House of Representatives. Vice President of the Senate is James Patton and Speaker of the House is Jack Morgan. The purpose of the Student Government is to insure equal rights, foster closer coopera- tion, and to promote better student welfare for ourselves and future students in our school. From the Student Government are chosen the members of the Student Court. In this court the offenders of the school are tried and sentenced. Some of the offenses are: return ing report cards late, unexcused absences and disorderly conduct in assemblies. Our At- torney General for the Student Court is Bill Buckey. The officers of the various members of the Student Government are: Secretary of Ac tivities—Bud Ball, Secretary of State—James Patton, Secretary of Exterior—Harry Gol den, Secretary of Treasury—Jack Morgan. The Student Government sponsored many activities this year. A quiz program was broadcast over the Public Address System with Arthur Nelson, acting as Master of Ceremo- nies. asking questions concerning the constitution of our school, of the teachers and inent hers of the Student Government. Members from our governing body represented our school in the state Student Government Convention which was held at Jackson’s Mill. During the holiday season, a sale for Christmas cards was held. A carnival, which was very enter taining to all attending was presented by the Honor Society and Student Government in the spring.

Promoting good sportsmanship is also an aim of this group. During the year the girls play games and sports according to the seasons. In the spring and fall they play such sports as baseball and softball outside. In the winter they play indoors games such as ring tennis, volley ball, kick pin ball, basketball, badminton and balloon tennis. The girls Athletic Club gives girls a chance to earn a school letter and the members usually work hard in order to receive one. In the course of three years the girls try to earn 1 00 points which are obtained by taking part in the games, being at meetings, being on com- mittees, and holding offices. The girls elect captains to take charge of their teams which are made up of about twenty members each. The teams also have cheerleaders. The club has sponsored some movies and had some social parties. Miss Brackett is sponsor of this organization. COMMERCIAL CLUB For the members of our student body who would like to have special training in office and Commercial work, the Commercial Club has been organized. The purpose of the club is to develop a reasonable skill in the operation of the mimeograph, ditto, and adding ma- chines. They also try to bring understanding and appreciation of personnel problems of the business office. This organization is proud of the fact that it may offer all these benefits to pupils and yet charge no dues or require special abilities. The club operates through the activities of individual members in doing special work for teachers and in the office by preparing test questions, ballots and the like. Miss I’ickerill, who is our commercial teacher, is the sponsor of the commercial club.

THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The purpose of the Ad Astra Chapter of the National Honor Society is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimu- late a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership .and to encourage tin� development of character in the pupils of Fairmont High School. The Honor Society has the valedictor- ian's name engraved on the school plaque each year and it awards prizes to the best all-around Biology students in both the boy's and girl's classes. The organi- zation sponsors tin� selling of Booster Buttons at school and of candy at the basketball games. A movie and the Hon- esty Campaign are also backed by this group. In the spring of each year the Honor Society has its annual induction of new members. It is a great honor to be ad- mitted as a member for it is a select or- ganization. There are only 2,500 such chapters in all the schools of the United States. 55 T. . jt. e«J u f KJL , 0 Cl vi- vJ£ Yf' iwi 1) - oO ■ • cUI. .-, lAOfc y Put the Kettle On - -Well All Have e a: 0 Wc- J lJZJk.VYU cXjsib v- rTv y( ifc®W Lr jL, .

A ■ - HOME ECONOMICS CLUB There is always something interesting going on in the home economics department, but_J November lb was a special day this year for on that date the girls in the Foods and Nutrition classes held a Thanksgiving Tea from 1 :30 until 2 o’clock. Guests were received by Miss Gibson and student hostesses. 4 , .- y lo L The cafeteria was tastefully decorated in keeping with the Thanksgiving motif and the fruit-ami nut centerpieces, candles, and Fiesta ware added color to the table. -«SL Other projeccts of the department during the year include the making of candy which they pack in attractive boxes as gifts at Christmas time; the annual spring dinner to which mem- bers of the faculty are invited, and a spring style show where girls in clothing classes model costumes they have made during the year. The purpose of the Foods division of the Home Economics department is to instruct fu- ture home makers in the art of dietetics. The girls are very interested and consider their time spent in learning cooking, studying prices and value of food well spent.

THE JUNIOR REI) CROSS We imagine that the most helpful of any of our organizations is the Junior Red Cross Club. The aim of this group is “To aid the peoples of the world in whatever way possible and to promote world friendship.” The most important activities in which the club participated were: Making menu covers at Christmas time for the sailors on United States ships; completing the Red Cross roll call for this school; selling bangles in the annual Tuberculosis drive, selling Easter Seals for the crippled children, and making layettes for small refugee children in France. Miss Rock is the sponsor and we think she deserves a word of praise for her direction of these activities. OFFICERS President.

We understand that the members of the club this year are solely girls. This shows that the female sex of our school is more interested in the ability to act! The membership of the Drama Club is made up of those interested in Dramatics, but not having the requirements for National Thespian membership. Miss Jenkins our director of dramatics is the sponsor of the Drama Club. During the year she has instructed the girls in the study of various phases of play production and their application. This shall be useful to them if they intend to pursue the occupation of acting. In March, a three-act play Danger, Girls Working was presented to a large audience by the members of this club. THE NATIONAL THESPIANS In all fields of life there must be the younger generation to take over the places which are left unoccupied by the ever going generation. In the field of acting, or the stage we find, no exception. When Katherine Cornell. John Barrymore, Paul Muni and all the rest have retired, or otherwise, we hope to see taking their places some of our own acquaintances. In F. 11. 8. the organization for up and coining actors and actresses is the National Thespians. These are the ones that have had previous acting experience before entering the school. In order to become a member of the National Thespians one must have spoken .. certain number of lines in some play or performance: after one has been accepted the initiation is held. This is one annual affair of the Thespians and is a secret operation. The purpose of this group is to create a more active and intelligent interest in high school dramatics. Thespian activities of this year consisted of the sponsoring of a program on January 2(5, and entering in a state “one-act play contest. OFFICERS President .......

THE HI-Y CLUB HI-Y CLUB Under the guidance of Mr. Glenn Ammons, sponser, the Hi-Y Club completed one of its most successful years. Activities of the club during the school year 1940 41, started with taking in new pledges. A month after school opened a beauty contest was staged. The Queen was selected not only by the students but the people of Fairmont, making this contest the only one of its kind ever to be staged in the high school. Then three activities were put on in a period of five days: The crowwning of the Queen, a dance at the Fairmont Hotel, and a Variety Show which was said by many to be one of the best presented during the year. The group took part in the Thanksgiving program by donating a small sum of money and helping in the delivery of the baskets. During the year different churches were attended, and an honest effort hold the purpose of the organization which is to create, maintain and extern school and community, high standards of Christian character. was made to up 1, throughout the President ...........

It is one of our largest organizations and is also one of the most energetic. The activities of the KL?UB are numerous. Some of them are, an annual turkey raffle, a monthly social activity, motion picture, and the “Swing Session.” Every year it also holds the “Bee-Bear Tear” and co-sponsors the commencement dance, as well as other dances open to the public. A variety show and Jam Session featuring a local orchestra is given in the school auditorium annually. The March of Dimes is another yearly event. The favorite of all these is the two weeks camping trip in the summer. The pledges are given their initiation at this time. We are proud of this club and also of its very capable advisor Mr. Ottis Grimes. OFFICERS President..............................Tommy Judy Vice-President ........................

Grimes 61 And Here’s the “ Rogue’s Gallery” — The Staff “Miss Freker, what next? How many ads do we have? Who spent that dollar? Where’s a typist? Where’s the carbon paper? Are the basketball pictures in yet?” These were some of the many questions asked in the Maple Leaves room every Monday, Thursday, and Friday. If Editor-in-chief Heffner couldn’t answer the questions then we all turned to Miss Freker. Our editor. Mud Heffner, certainly deserves it big hand, for he has worked like a Tro- jan. Howard Hawkins, Musiness Manager, is one in every sense of the word. He has kept our accounts in perfect order. The Literary Editors, Betty Yiglianco and Julia DeBolt, plus Tessie I’hares and Doris Lee Thomas have all searched diligently in the dictionaries for descriptive adjectives to fit our many students. We didn’t see much of the artistic “goings on” but when they were ready for our ap- proval the vote was certainly unanimous for the work of Thomas Yelchick and Ruth Teti. Because the advertising staff was elected at mid-term it was too late to get their pictures on the staff page. But this did not daunt them: they worked very hard to get the ads for this year’s book. Doris Thomas, Helen Gotses. Marjorie Lamb, and Doris Elder should be heartily congratulated for their earnest work. t'harles Sordi was always busy figuring up who was “high point man” in basketball games and just who made a touchdown in a “certain certain” football classic. And then you could always hear the “peck peck” of a ty pew writer. Our typists were “one in a million”. We sometimes save the best for the last. During the month of February Joe Boggs would come running in with another subscription. He was high point salesman”, you know, in our annual drive. Everyone had always to look his best for we never knew when Bud Stout would take a flash bulb for the feature page. This section in our diary will be a “red-letter” one. We have thoroughly enjoyed the work every second and we hope that you love the results of it also. —THE MAPLE LEAVES STAFF. 62 Tessie Pharos Joe Boggs (Irganizations Features editor Ass is OS .Marjorie Lamb. .Mary Colaruso...

S. i TWIRLERS Shouts can he heard up and down the avenue as the crowd which has gathered cranes its neck expectantly. The sound of lively music and rhythm of marching feet has just come within hearing, the shouts of the crowd change to cheers—cheers for good old West High. As the marchers approach steadily the spectators can discern four columns of uniformed hoys and girls headed by a major and eight twirlers. The white costumes of the twirlers are a pretty contrast to the navy blue suits of the band members. High-stepping and with twirling batons they are an eye-filling sight as they strut up the avenue. The twirlers have added much to the general impression created by our hand. Chosen for ability to twirl, and appearance they are almost uniform in size. Practice under the major makes them uniform in action. Fight for old Fairmont Fairmont must win! Fight to the finish Never give in; Boom, boom, boom! Yon do your best, boys. We’ll do the rest, hoys; Fight for old F. H. S. 65 Hail! Her Highness Alice Rachel the First, 66 Queen of Beauty a t a i r m o n t H “OUR QUEEN” The Time: Near Twelve O’clock on the night of November 24th. The Place: The Ballroom of the Fairmont Hotel. The music was stopped. A bugle was sound- V J ed. Slowly down the steps leading from the mezzanine room to the ballroom came our | beautiful Queen dressed in a silver-spangled j evening gown. In her arm was a gorgeous y bouquet of red roses. Her yellow-gold hair and. sky blue eyes made her beautiful to see. The''' orchestra was playing a lovely melody as our Queen, followed by her two princesses, Helen Robey and Barbara Alice Berry, proceeded to- ward her throne. Reaching her white throne she turned toward the audience. A feeling of A enchantment was in the air. All was quiet. ' Mayor Fred T. Wilson stepped forward with a crown of rosebuds. Our Queen hit her lips nervously, and then—then she smiled! A stnil that will not he forgotten by any of those present that night; a smile that made her beautiful blue eyes shine like the bluest of sapphires: a smile that brought out the charm HyW- of her personality like one bright star in aNk sky of black darkness. erv gently the crown of red rose buds was placed upon her head. With this gesture Alice Rachel Yost was crowned Queen Alice _ Rachel the T, of Fairmont High School.” MamSA were the congratulations as our Queen wasn't seated on her throne.

FAIRMONT 13 — MANNINGTON 0 Finding the going kind of rocky against a staunch Mannington High line when in scor- ing territory, the husky West Fairmont High Polar Bears took to the air to gain a 13 to 0 score at the expense of the Big Green machine in the last half of a long twin hill at Twelfth treet. Backfield honors for the Bears were very well divided with Gillooly outstanding on the line. Limley was the king pin of the Mannington attack which netted the Bears 13. FAIRMONT 0 — W. I. 20 The Washington Irving Hilltoppers opened their Big Ten conference football campaign with a 20 to 0 victory over the West Fairmont High Polar Bears. The Hilltoppers broke loose in the second half after the teams had fought scoreless in the first periods when both teams had scoring chances but were unable to cash in. Whisler and Priolette played good ball for the Bears, with Hughes, Fulton, Mazza, and Lopez shining for the Hiteman. 70 Players And Fans When School Opens Each Fall FAIRMONT 27 — VICTORY 7 A fast charging gang of I’olar Bears trampled the Victory Eagles in the dust October 11 at the East-West stadium by a surprising margin of 27 to 7. Whisler ran 88 yards for the winning touchdown for the Polar Bears. Dominick Monell, West’s hard hitting quarterback, came through in the closing minutes to score two of the touchdowns. The forward wall of the Polar Bears turned in a brilliant exhibition led by Priolette, Sordi, and (iillooly. FAIRMONT 13 — FARMINGTON 7 The Polar Bears marked up their second victory of the season on October 4, 1940. as they trounced the Farmington FaSsners 13-7 before approximately 1,200 fans at the East West stadium. In the first period Charles Sordi recovered a Farmington fumble and the Bears, paced by Ken Whisler, started a drive which resulted in their first touchdown. Immediately after tin second half got under way the Blue and White started a drive which netted them 78 yard and their second score. Whisler, ltocco Priolette, and Charley Sordi played good all for the Bears, with Hand- ley, Beuglass, playing good ball for the Farmers. FAIRMONT fi — WEIRTON 25 The Polar Bears journeyed to Wierton to tangle with the Red Riders of the Wierton High only to be met by a team that defeated and outclassed them and they went down to the tune of a 25 to 6 defeat. The Polar Bears had many tough breaks and lost quite a few yards on penalties. Whisler played good ball in the baekfield while Meal and (iillooly were outstanding on the line. Roceo Priolette Felix Meale Dominick Mainella Jim Froelich Herschel Nicholas 71 FAIRMONT It) — GRAFTON 0 Ken Whisler lt‘ l tlie West Fairmont High Polar Bears to a 10 to 0 victory over Grafton High Bearcats on October 26, 1940. Tilt1 first score came in the second period when Ken Whisler went over for a touchdown from the five yard line and the other came in the third and fourth conclusive. Kenneth Whisler made all three of the touchdowns for the Bears with Conaway, Meal. Priolette, Garrison, and Sordi doing splendid work on the line. MORGANTOWN 12 — FAIRMONT 16 West Fairmont’s Polar Bears and Morgantown’s Red and Blue waged a storm-bang Big Ten Conference football struggle on November 2, 1940, before some 1,000 fans at the East West stadium with the invaders from Monongalia county, coping a 12 to 0 decision. The Big Red; made both their touchdowns in the first half but the Bears came in the second half and outplayed their opponents but this was not enough, they failed to make that final otuehdown. Whistler. Shuttle, and Monell played good ball in the backfield with Sordi, Priolette and Julian doing fine work on the defense. EAST FAIRMONT 7 — WEST FAIRMONT 0. An inspired East Fairmont grid team upsetted the favored West Fairmont eleven and walked away with a richly deserved 7 to 0 victory in the 20th renewal of the colorful city championship series on November 11, 1940 at the East-West stadium. There was always, however, some question whether the Polar Bears would be able to pull themselves together and speed away on one of their characteristic touchdown sprees. As it turned out, the Bears just didn’t have it. SHINNSTON 13 — FAIRMONT 7 The high favored Shinnston High Spartan’s grid team just flung out a 13-7 victory over the West Fairmont High Polar Bears on Thanksgiving day. Fairmont outplayed the. Spartans and leading them until the third quarter when Spad- fore broke loose for the winning touchdown. Sordi, Julian and Priolette accounted for the Fairmont score while Spadfore did the scoring for Shinnston. The whole Polar Bear line did splendid work while Monell, Parker. Shuttle, Whistler and Fra tenia Hi shinned in the backfield. Their Lively Blue team! White team! Blue and white team! Fairmont High team team! Fight! Fight! Fight! Everyone knows, or at least has heard, the yells and almost all of yon know the cheer- leaders; but for the benefit of a few who don't know them an introduction is in order. Reader, meet the West High School cheerleaders. From left to right they are. Betty Fultz. Janies Ya nero. Dot tie Graham, and Joseph Carlomango. The purpose of the cheerleaders is a big one carrying responsibilities. As the title im plies, they lead the cheering. They also influence the general attitude of the people on the bleachers! Whether or not a cheering section is good depends on the leaders a great deal. These four have successfully led our cheering this year, helping to make it among the best at all the games. Dressed in white and blue they have inspired theh West High sym- pathizers to cheer lustily, raising the enthusiasm in general, and giving the players cour- age to go on to victory. 73 BASKETBALL SENIORS ★ ★ ★ ROCCO PKOLETTE Rocco proved to be a very good guard throughout the year and one of the most valuable players on the team. He was given recognition by being given honorable mention on the all- state team. Rocco has been on the basketball team for three years and went to two state tournaments and proved to be one of the Bears best defensive players. BILLY GANOE Canoe was one of the Bears outstanding players on the team. He served as the spark plug of the team. When the Bears needed two or three points it was Canoe that pulled them out of the hole. Bill has journeyed twice to Morgantown to play in the state tournament. Bill was a good player and we are sorry to see him go. BROOKS WEST Brooks West made the team the hard way. With very little experience Brooks went out for the team and won his position as center. Even 'hough Brooks didn't make many points he played his position as center to the best of his ability. DONNY HAMILTON Don Hamilton was one of the Bears all-around men. He has played center, guard and forward and played the positions well. Don played on the Cubs one year and two years on the varsity. He also was in action in two state tournaments. The Bears are losing a very good man when Don leaves us, and we wish him the best of luck. BERKLEY DAVIS Berkley Davis proved himself to be one of the best defensive guards ever to don the blue and white. Berkley’s fine work in getting the ball off the boards was a big factor in the great record compiled by the Polar Bears. Although he didn't go out for basketball in his sophomore year he held down a regular guard position in his last two years and was given recognition this year by being given honorable mention on the all-state team. TOM JUDY Tom Judy was probably the most consistent player on this years squad. Injuries kept Tom from participating in his sophomore year but he made the squad in his junior and senior years. Tom was acting captain in most of the games this year and proved himself to be a great leader. He also saw action in two state tournaments at Morgantown. JIM VINCENT Jim Vincent is the only West Fairmont player ever to participate in three state tourna- ments which speaks for itself in regard to his basketball playing ability. Besides being an excellent shot Jim rates with the best defensive forwards ever turned out of West Fairmont.
