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
