It is our desire ' to bring to you a collection of school activities and re- i . membrances that will aid you in recalling your high school life. It is -with the thought in mind that mem- ories are our best loved pastime that we have completed . this annual. We hope it will fulfill its duty to you and f - become at-cherished memento. iw X . ,Hg V pg .N , v' , 9sil,g Acknowledgmenfs At last we have completed the Maple Leaves for this year, but it could never have been possible without the help of some outsiders, that is, other than our staff. We wish to thank Miss James who has cooperated splendidly with our art staff i11 creating our artistic designs for this year's annual. Also to Mr. Buekey we wish to extend our appreci- ation for his helpful advice and information. And we Wish to thank Miss Freker for keeping us on the right track and steering us toward our goal.

There would probably be few of us to reach the goal of grad- uation if it weren't for his understanding and advice. We admire him for being fair and square , for not showing partiality, and for guiding us and aiding us through our high school days-some of the most important years of our life. We hope that the students coming to our school in future years will have the privilege of having Mr. Buckey as their guide and fellow-worker. 10 . 'S 'UN The Secrefaries Mrs. Theodore C. Schaible Mrs. Schaible, a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University, was with us only a short time, but we will always remember her for the splendid serv- ice she gave to our school. It was hard to believe that she, so young and charming, was also so capable. She was not here long, however, until everyone realized her value to the school, and we were all extremely sorry when she resigned. Mrs. Tom Griffith Mrs. Griffith succeeded Mrs. Scha- ible. Mrs. Griffith was graduated from West High School and from West Virginia University. In a very short time she has shown us that she is quite efficient in her duties as secre- tary and she leaves everyone with the impression that she thoroughly enjoys her work. A. F. Fondaw B. C. S..

Some may do their part by entering our armed forces, defense factories, or local defense organiza- tions. They may look upon their school activities as the foundation of their future success. It is the Senior Class that has set many standards that will be hard to reach. They have been learners in every phase of school activity and are an outstanding group. As they pass through the portals of our high school, we hope they will step into the future with a clear mind to do the job that is confronting them. To the Senior Class we say: God speed and best of luck. Class Officers Charles Scott s...s,, ,s,,. President John Cassaday .sss.. ...,s,......

Clubs of all sorts, from Aviation to Bible Study have been organized. The activity period was installed to take care of clubs which formerly held their meetings after school, for many students found themselves unable to attend such clubs. Now the extra-curricular period is a regular part of the school day. Students may be members of more than one group because the weekly schedule allows not more than two meetings of each club a Week. This gives pupils a well-rounded week through their studies and their hobbies. The first three days of the week are for club meetings, while Thurs- days are reserved for school assemblies and class meetingsg Friday being available for club-sponsored assemblies. Each club has an opportunity to sponsor a pay-movie to benefit its treasury. They also present variety shows and other programs. Students have readily adapted themselves to this weekly arrange- ment. 58 The Nafional Honor Sociefy Some are born leaders-some achieve leadership-some have leader- ship thrust upon them, and these are the happy few who are members of the Ad Astra Chapter of the National Hcnor Society. It is under the leader- ship of Miss Hustead. It was founded in 1926 for the purpose of recognizing the outstanding pupils in our school. Their aim is to establish enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in their fellow students. Everyone should reach upward for the goal of membership in this society-one of 2.500 of its kind in the nation. Officers President . ..

Based on the principle of the United States Government, it has a Senate, made up of class officers and two representa- tives from each classg a House of Representatives composed of students from each home roomg and a Supreme Court which consists of students, the principal and faculty advisers. It governs the school to the best of its ability, bringing the students in closer relation with school and it regu- lates the activities of the student body.

Membership is through try-outs by the most interested and talented students of the school, who want the opportunity and joy of singing representative music, These selections range from the sacred and classical compositions to some of the better modern-day popular numbers. The aim of the Choral Club is to do good music always in a good way, following the accepted standards of the best Choral music. All music is learned with the idea of public presentation as the club's members gen- erally give a Christmas program, a spring concert, commencement music, and often programs for community affairs.

Every year it carries out many activities, both social and religious. This year the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Clubs staged the first student mix the school has ever had. The purpose of this club is to create, maintain, and extend, through- out the school and community a high standard of Christian character. The Hi-Y has a very able committee to advise it. Mr. Ammons is the helpful sponsor, and the Rev. J. Edwin Ring, Dr. Joseph S. Maxwell. and Mr. R. S. Soule are the advisory committee. Officers President . .

This club also strives to help others, particularly the poorer families in Fairmont and surrounding com- rnunities. Founded in 1913 in the old high school building, the club was discon- tinued several years ago, but was reorganized in 1938.

The plans for the year were to bring about school spirit, sponsor useful projects, and to promote public and private affairs.

The Band The stirring march music which you hear about the campus, whether at football games or just noon practice, means but one thing-the West High Band is up and at it again. Playing school songs and marches between quarters and time-outs they add that certain somethingn to the football games. They rise to impres- sive heights as they march on the field at the half, playing new songs and doing tricky formations which add ,much to the color and enthusiasm of the game. The flag bearers and color guards, used for the first time this year, stress Patriotism of the Band, which is made up of sixty-four members. They are under the skillful direction of Glenn Arnett and the student director.

Happenings and doings such as these are signs that the Junior Red Cross is hard at work. They are always helping the boys in the Armed Ser- vices, and for all we know these boys may be our brothers, cousins, or boy friends, or someone we know very well.

Before an opening crowd of 4,t people the Bears lost their frrst game to a strong Mannington eleven 7 to 0. 'Vest Fairmont gained plenty of yardage .but they were just not 'able to cross thx' double linle. Outstanding for the Polar Bears was Jimmy Gladwell as he turned in some beau- tiful off tackle smashes. CLARK SBNURG Sept. 25. The Bears journeyed to Clarksburg to be entertained by their strongest opponemt of the year and were defeated by Washington Irving 26 to 0. W. In had too many guns: tor the West attack was out-manteuvered in the play ,by 'Uaptain Billy Boore thus making it a long afternoon for the Bears. FARMINGTON Oct. 1. The Bears returned to the stadium to lose to the Farmington Farmers 7 to 0. The teams played on even terms until a Bonetti pass was in'be.rcepted by Farming- ton on the West 21. This was the break Farmington needed and scored a few plays later on a pass from Hawkenberry to Tater. VICTORY Oct. 9. West Fairmont turned in a brilliant performance to repel a tough Victory team 13 to O. Harbert was the outstanding offensive threat while the line play of Compton and Jacques stood out. The first touchdown was a slioveled pass from Harbert to Matheson with Hammer Priolette plunging over for the extra point. The second score came when I-larbert intercepted a Victory pass and fought lus way forty yards for a touchdown. Priolette failed to make the distance for the extra point. Football Action Shot: 87 The Football Season Iconfinuedl SOUTH CHARLESTON Oct. 17. The Bears made their only long trip of the season to Charleston to meet a strong South Charleston team and were defeated 26 to 0. South Charleston lcd by Higinbotham turned on a touchdown barrage that the Bear's defense just cou1dn't stop. GRAFTON Oct, 23. The Bears next ilnvvaded Grafton and lost 18-7. Although West Fairmont was defeated, Jack Harbert turned in a' 105 yard tovuch- down sprint that took most of the sting out of the defeat for the Fairmont backers. Harbe-rt, behind superb blocking. took the kickoff at the start of the second half- flfve yards behind his own goal line and romped for a touchdown. Harbert also con- verted the extra point ending the scoring for the Bears. MORGANTOWN Oct. 30. The Bears were trampled by a fast Morgantown team 40 to 7 at the East- West Stadium. Dickie Oliveto turned in the outstanding performance cf the evening as he dash-ed 76 yards through the whole Morgantown team for a touchdown. Viglianco plowed through the line for the extra point. EAST-WEST Nov. 11. In the headliner of the season, West lost to East 6 to 0 in a loose thrill- packed battle before 6,000 people at the East-West Stadium. With Harbert leading the attack, the Bears made a serious bid for a score when they marched to the East seven-yard line before a fumble ended the threat. Two bad passes from the center set up -the East score, with Kelly going over from the two-yard line before a :fumble ended the threat.

Priolette, after tearing the Shinnston line into shreds, went over for the third touch- down, but was short on the extra poirnt. 88 FOOTBALL SENIORS Viglianco Santore Harbert Bonetti Gladwell Oliveto 89 - 'ff ff,,,+w,k, f'-if L.

Score 38 to 24. 93 Baslcefball Seniors BLOSSER- Blitz Blosser finishes his career in a blaze of glory. The point-maker deeluxe of a scoring outfit, Billy is truly a team man, never failing to pass the ball to a man with a better chance at scoring. His de- fensive play is equally as outstanding as his offensive, having learned this angle from two years of brilliant play from the guard position. It's tough losing boys like Bill. GARCIA-Joe is truly an outstanding guard. His quiet unasstuning manner is expressed by deliberate fury on the court. He is especially apt at blocking shots. More than one opponent has had the ball pushed back in his face. Joe will certainly go a long way if he always stays .on the beam as he has at F. H. S. SACHETPI-Although he did not score a lot of points, his defensive play was something to talk about. Red consistently got the ball off the banking board and made it possible to start the Bears best scoring plays. Red is popular on and off the floor with the entire student body always having a kind word for him. FELTZ-In another year Jimmy would have become a star. After starting this year with the Cubs, Jimmy worked his way up to a place on the varsity which is quite an achievement. 94 The Cubs First Row: Edwin Brubaker, Orlando Arcurri, Junior Patton, Don Rex Richard durbert.

In fact, he was disgusted .... tired of bending thousands of little wires, each of which went into one of Uncle Sam's detection devices. But over in Africa, the fighting men think he's a hero. One of those wires saved 800 Yanks from annihilation recently. Not all war jobs are glamorous. The home front work, however, is important and must be done. Our job of furnishing Electric Power is just one phase of the Victory effort. It may be only wire bending, but it's our job .... and we're proud to be doing it!
