We wonder who the lucky guy is??? Home Room Secretary, 46-47. GRACE BEC KNER-Jello comes V at the end of the meal, and is a merry dish. Grace is very witty and is always making up new jokes and finding different ones. This sense of humor will be a definite asset to her when she becomes a missionary. Girls, Athletic Club, 46-47. ICTOR TI IOMAS BERRY- Tounny reminds us of cabbage, with a head full of ideas. Be- cause of his many friends and appreciative classmates, Tom will go places in his career and we'rc sure he'll succeed in reach- ing the top of the ladder of suc- cess in whatever he attempts. PATRICIA BLACKWOOD - Pat reminds us of peppermint can- dy. She's sharp, and we all like her. She's quite a bookkeeper, is taking Bookkeeping II, and is an efficient member of our Fi- nance Board.

MARJORIE CASSADY-Who puts that extra spark in the latest gossip? Why does the time seem to fly during that 8:00 Book- keeping class? Marj Cassady, of course.

LILLIAN CHAPMAN-Some peo- ple may think that Lil is rather hard to get to know, but Lil, in all her reserve, like ice, will melt swiftly in friendly interest.

HELEN CHEMO-An excellent student with supreme character. Do you need advice on your homework? Then Helen is the one to see, and usually has the right answer without further ref- erence. She's our honey-dew melon. When George said, Honey do, she did. LEAH CLINE-Few schools are twice blessed, with two such lovely girls, but we are lucky in having both Leah and Lelah with us. Leah and Lelah are both athletic. Leah is the wit- tier of the two wits. Secretary of Girls' Athletic League, 46-47-48. ill? LELAH CLINE-Bread and but- ter, salt and pepper, and Lelah and Leah Cline should go to- gether, but Maple Leaves has the presumption to separate them. However, in all the things we do in West Hi, the twins are inseparable. Lelah is also an athlete, but this attractive girl might be said to be the better scholar of the two. Treasurer of the Girls' Ath- letic League, 46-47-48. BETTY COEN-Betty is a replica of sugar cookies, Betty has su- per ideas and marvelous taste in clothing. She does wonders on the piano, too, with that certain something that only Betty can give it. One of her hobbies is collecting minature horses.

BETTY COLE-Not many high schools are priviledged to have girls like Betty ..... for what- ever this Southern Miss with the West Virginia drawl does, she does well. Be it super-fine twirling in sun, snow, sleet, or slush, smilingly pretty, gliding over the dance floor or at her studies. Like caviar, Betty is the dish of the school.

LOIS ANN COLLINS - Sugar cookies are short and sweet and little Lois Ann isn't as tall as the centipede's knee-caps. But, the list of her accomplishments is mighty long. A willing worker, co-operative Lois Ann's fervent friends loudly uphold her popu- larity. Tri-Hi-Y, 47, Girls' Athletic Board, 47.

Her inter- esting personality and friendly manner are only two of her many attributes. JANET CRIGLER-Sparkling gyp- sy eyes has shc. jane-t's variety of interest and persuasive man- ner will help her achieve any- thing she undertakes.

MARILYN BERNICE DAVIS --All rabbits are clever, and this Bim- ny is no exception. An abund- ance of wit and a peppy person- ality are only two of Bunnyls many assets.

HARRY ALLEN DODGE-Here's our example of precision, always on time, and because the Swiss are noted for correct time he reminds us of Swiss steak. Tho that allusion is rather off, it isn't any illusion when you see Harry skidding through the upper hall bent on getting to class not less than a half hour late. Camera Club 47-48, Printing Club, 46-47. JACKIE DONALDSON-Boys ev- erywhere are alike, and West Hils Lil' Abners are no different from any in liking jackie Pork Chopsv Donaldson. jackiels good taste will bring many customers into Donaldsons' Devestating Dress Shop.

But with such a likeable and whole- some personality, how could a blue-eyed blonde help her posi- tion in life? One of the Bears' most faithful followers-and who blames the Bears for following Patty? l JK H, Qlfbflfj Qawtrffbljl Jwltl C' 4' WNW V1 Y!

Com- posed . . . Always sure of her- self, at any time, unfailingly good natured, and a sympathetic listener. The troubles of the world do not bother her, but many an hour is spent on her impeccable appearance. If the results of such primping made us look so good, we too would spend ,time on turning out such . a composed lass. VVANDA ANDERSON Amia- ble . . . Whether Wandals friend- liness springs from sheer inabili- ty to do otherwise, or is just in- herent, we have not discovered, but Sherlock himself wouldn't have to spend more than a sec- ond to discover Wanda's friend- liness. Even a hound of the Bas- kervilles would howl in admira- aion, much as the F.H.S. wolves o. JANET 'ANDRICK . . . Sweet Sweet like candy, cute as Christ- mas, that's Jan. Soft blues and pinks compliment her blonde beauty and her quick smile compliments you. But all hope abandon-her heart belongs to Mike-and a nice one it is, for sure. ttlff UA lil-olfiia ' 164. 9-trk Devils-Q TA' Hwivw CHARLES ARBOGAST . . . Sys- tematic . . . One who brings or- der from chaos, and does it un- noticed. Charles is a sort of per- son who thinks out his next move miles in advance-be it in sports or studies. Would any- one make him a bet on the next World Series? HUBERT ASH . . . Generous . .. . If Hubert were Rockefeller, West Hi would have a swim- ing pool. If Hubert were Car- negie, his friends would be over sundae-d. But Hubert Ash is Hubert, and truly, isn't he bet- ter so? A generous spirit and a kind friend. GEORGE BALL . . . Keen , . . This George certainly has a lot on the ball and he surely is not behind the eight ball. Every topic receives equal considera- tion in Ceorgefs keen, decisive mind. Every friend is truly a friend to him. DOLORES BARRETT Gentle . . . Some words have in their sounds certain connotations. Do- lores and gentle both seem to connote a soft, kind, sort of per- son. And that is Dollic, one who . manages to get a lot done with- out a lot of fuss. CONNIE BELL . . . Social . . . Petite Connie has an enviable sense of social charm. A lass who thinks of others more than vherself, who tries hard to learn N-but World History is hard. She also has developed a well round- ed personality, for such a tiny person, Connie packs a lot of punch. ROSEMARY BONFANTINO . . . Independent . . . A mind of her own, a d Rosemary uses it to a good advantage. A lot of inter- ests, but not her own. Rosema- ry helps us all in all emergen- , cies. Many friends of her own, but for all Rosemary's indepen- dence, she will never be alone. JOHN BROWNFIELD . . . Lo- quacious . . . Such a word is in Websters, and Johnny is in West Hi, but in Maple Leaves never the twain shall meet. Rather im- pulsive, he follows his inclina- tion and no matter the outcome, Johnny won't complain. But he talks a good deal and what he says is always worth hearing. IOHN BUCHANAN . . . Integrity . . . Integrity means trustworthy. Perhaps that is why we trust Business Manager john Buchan- an, with our precious finances. But hiseyes are not two dollar signs KS-Sl and his heart is not a bank book-what say girls? BILL BUNNER . . . Persuasive. . . Billy could sell ice boxes to Eskimoes, horses to Centaurs, stoves to Aborigenes-he can even get an excuse for being late to classl Right now this sigh guy is employed, among other things, in selling himself to West Hi-and take it from us-it isn't hard! GERALDINE CAIN . . . NVilling . . . Cerrie Cain is truly a will- ing worker. Active in many clubs, and doing many jobs equally well. Gerrie is a won- derful girl, and it's a lucky school we are to have her. few' J, I R . cg, CARMELLA CAMILLE . . . Earnest . . . She truly throws herself into everything-that's why her good grades and many companions. Carmella, with her curling dark hair, can be seen ' faithfully every day as she goes to and from her classes, eamest- ly doing her excellent best. LUCY COLASESSANO . . . Non- chalant . . . Lucy is happy-go- lucky, Lucy is sweet, and Lucy is popular and well known. We and West Hi like Lucy, her carefree gaity endears her to all of us. But though Lucy is as studious as any of us, it's her spriteliness we like best. JACK COLBERT . . . Sure . . . Deliberate and confident, jack is sure of what he wants to be, what he wants to do, and how he is going to do it. And we, The Maple Leaves Staff, are sure that Jack will get what he wants. PEGGY COLLINS . . . Genial . . . Peggy gets her English and Shorthand and still she remains her genial self. Nonchalant Peg is pretty and popular. We all know that Peg will succeed in all of the adventures she sets forth on. MYREL COLLINS . . . Eager . . . Myrel is ever ready, and be it music or mirth, she enters into the spirit of things. Quiet, and light on her feet, and in her mind. See you in American His- tory next year, Myrlel , . 9, , in ,oi -ff' ,ff DOLORES CONLEY . . . Bright . . . Like the sun in NVest Hi's heavens, Lee-Lo brings light in- to the eyes of the spectators who spectate her sponsoring. And like the sun, Dolores has hair as bright as her personality. Active in extra-curricular life and ac- tive in her studies-Dolores Lee-Lo Conley. ELLEN DARDEN . . . Patrician . . . Somehow aloof from our worries, we can picture Ellen. Cooly gracious even among the seven marble pillars of Olympus. Our halls are far removed from that place, but we can see El- len's blue-eyed blondeness pass- ing us as the classes change. Classes may change, but not Ellen. BRUCE DAVIS . . . Leadership . . . Bruce is an enigma. VVhat is he really like? Many good traits has Bruce, for sure: intel- ligence, personality, and a good character. His high average, popularity and reputation testify to this. He's capable of doing everything, and has all the at- tributes of one who will lead to where the rest of us shall follow. GEORGE DAVIS . . . Pleasant. . . A pleasant person, grand guy, fine fellow, or what have you? Also a good sport. YVho are we speaking of-George Davis, of course. That wasn't needed, for everyone knows George and knows his pleasant, forceful, per- sonality. LUCILLE DEABLER . . . Well Groomed . . . Anyone who con- sistently looks as charming as Dinky deserves a medal. Un- scathed through the Battle of the Hemlinc, Lucille believes in a medium length. Not only a fashion arbitrator, Lucille is in- terested in crafts and boys. Cor- rection. Lucille is interested in crafts, and boys are interesetcd in Lucille. THOMAS DONALDSON . . . Talkative . . . Tom is very talkative and rather talented. He has a flair for cartooning and beware when you behold Thom- as looking your way, with a pencil and paper in hand. He will gab with the gals and gos- sip with the best, but heis al- ways fun to listen to. MARY ANN FACEMIRE . . . Vibrant . . . just vibrant alone couldn't describe Mary Ann. You'd have to add charming, alive, radiant, and scores of oth- er complimentary adjectives, for, with all of Mary Annis tal- ents and interests isuch as, crafts, art, Thespians, and ma- jorrettesl. One word could never explain them all. GENE FALKENSTEIN . . . Easy- going . . . Early in the mornings almost before the sun is risen, Gene is, delivering his papers on a certain motor bike. Donit we wish that We could ride to school and back? But Gene rarely gets excited over tritles, and altho he surely yells loudly at games, he is usually rather quiet and easy-going. RALPH FAST . . . Reserved . . . Altho Ralph is rather reserved at first introduction, his friends find him a blithe and humorous companion, always entering into the fun with all his might. In his classes, he is known as Ralph Fast-a reliable worker , and to us he is Ralph-a swell persbnf' JIMMY FANVCETT . . . Active . . . Size is never an objection, as jimmy will toll you. And all of us will tell you that Jim is a hard worker, something of a genius, especially in sports, and one of West Hi's best known and best liked students. ROBERT FELTZ . . . Mischievi- ous . . . Bob is something of an When he starts to grin, then there is danger atoot. What Bob and his playmates will do next, quien sabe? But whatever it is Bobby will be in there pitching, and we'll bc out there laughing with him at his antics. imp. MARJORIE FORTNEY . . . Smooth . . . Margie is a classie lassie, who possesses smoothness plus clevcrness, ingenuity, and mirth.

Mary es. s curly topped bit er energy has a good ' her own and fol ' . s as swiftly as pewri lr keys beneath he nimble fing s. Al- ways ready to help 1 friend, she is quite busy, for she has many of them. DONALD HAMILTON . . . Pop- ular . . . Duco, duccre, duxi, duc-tus, or Don juan in Espa- nol. But he's Duck to us and Mickey. Leader of the Don Hamilton band, he notes every- thing. An ever-ready grin, and a forelock of curly hair Caren't we enviousl falling over his fore- head typify this very popular lad. ROBERT HAMILTON . . . Red . . . Oh, his hair so bright a redl Oh, his energy. Where does he get it? Here is one cheerleader who cats his wheatics. He's equally interested in all that he takes up, and does well in every- thing. Bob's even temper is practically a by-word, and does this red head ever s red - wc wonderl ' CI 3' A0 5 Em 'S V J' 'O 4299 4409 0 Ve' CAHALEE WOODYARD . . . Jol- ly . . . Mark Tapin had nothing on Coralee. No matter though the day be dark, dull, dismal, and dreary, a gay remark and merry smile comes from Coralee, cheering up even the most un- happy. Coralee is a jolly girl and here's hoping, she remains so. IRENE HAMRICK . . . Industri- ous . . . Hard, continuous ef- fort to make those who Irene cares about proud of her, typ- ifies Irene. A sort of, person who adds something to every- thing, and last but not least she has a fine sense of humor. BETTY HARDWAY . . . Good Sport . . . Bets is a good sport always. Her abilities extend in all directions and encompass everything. An interesting girl is Betty, and one who is well- liked by all. HELEN HAYHURST . . . Placid . . , The earth could dissolve be- neath Helen's feet without caus- ing her gray hairs, but that doesn't mean that Helen isnft aware. One who knows the la- test gossip and the latest events equally well is known by all. MARY JEAN HAYES . . . Intelli- gent . . . Oh gcc, don't we all wish we were Mary jean? Es- pecially around exam timesl A brain, which like a blotter, picks up and retains all learning, has this teacher-to-be. If she teach- es all shc knows, what an edu- cation the younger generation will have. FLOYD HENDERSON . . . Exact- ing . . . Floyd will split an atom to the nearest neutron or tell you the score at the fastest game, with the same ease. This mind seems to know everything and we know everything about Floyd, too-a grand sort of fel- low. GEORGE HERBERT . . . Inter- esting . . . George is interesting. Never at a loss and never losing -It's hard to say what he is like, so we'll just say- We sure- ly like him! DORIS MAE HIBBS . . . Lacka- ' IIILL . . Bfloyant f a lv daisical . . . Her easy going wit and imperturbability is what we most admire in Doris Mae, the girl who through two exhausting years has always found a way to be happy-and w are happy, she's here. el I an eauty a e er a lovey gir . .

This Artemis is also wise. Mastering the subtlties of the hardest subjects easily, Artemis has an enviable average and a refresh- ing personality. . ALL -gif!! tw: 1 WW' ANNA HUNSAKER . . . Different . . . Mass production applies to man as well as machines now, but Anna is one who stands out in a crowd. An individual in personality, she'll be Always Annaf, ALLEN HUNTER . . . Bright . . . Allen's hair alone would rate such an adjective. But he shines out in many ways-in Thespi- ans, for one. And who isn't jealous of his ability to under- stand theorems so easily in plane geometry? We say of him, A bright fellow, that Allen Hun- ter. PHILLIP GALLO . . ., Strong, Silent . . . Many interests and activities has Phil. Not the lo- quacious sort, he doesn't say much, but Phil doesn't have to, for We all can see his obvious worth. RICHARD GARRISON . . . Sports- man . . . Stalking silently through the woods, a loud report is heard-Bang!-hunter Pete has done it again. Although he is a menace to every kind of ani- mal, Pete is as good a sportsman in other fields too. When you see him mumbling to himself- he's just reviewing subjunctive Latin. .al LOIS-ELLEN GREENE . . . Hope- less . . . Lois-Ellen climbs labor- iously up the ladder of success, reaches the top, and turning around to pat herself on the back, falls to the bottom rung again. It's just her artistic tem- perament showing itself-for Lois writes poetry in guidance, dood- les in music, and mumbles in Latin and Spanish constantly- hopeless case-eh what?-but we love her just the same. VIRGINIA BUMM . . . Tactful . . . For pouring oil on troubled wat- ers, smoothing over rough spots, and saying the right thing at the right time, there is none better than Dinny. She who is tactful is well-liked, and tactful Virgie is surely that. ANTHONY JACQUES . . . Danc- er . . . Light on his feet, his head is ever in the clouds. Mc-xv can see the funny side of life too. Or haven't you seen Tony's amusing cartoons? But all the black cartoonists ink in the art room, doesn't hamper his style at 11:00 lunch hour.

Pardon the pun, but Charlie is keener than almost anyone. Comes a basketball, .swiftly moving, and Charles Keener picks it up as easily as he can repartee the sharpest. joke. An athlete whose prowess is unlim- ited. CHARLES KING . . . Ruler . . . A veritable king among men- and a devil among the ladies. No Irishman could possibly have as much charm, humor, and in- telligence as this red head, though. A person well worth knowing. MARY ALICE KRALEY . . . Qui- ct . . . If we had lost the pattem of Mary Alice's ways, what would be her recipe? Some bot- tled lightning and kittens purrs, for Mary Alice is as clever and feminine as both. But we could- n't remake Kraley, truly, r,sh is as inimitable as ggl tr value. 1 S i PAT . . Wistful . P 1 maiden, wh are t ' of? Something gentle d, we're sure.

KAY LESTON . . . Songstress The less musically gifted of West Hi turn green with envy when Kay sings. With an Ameriean accent, Spanish students sigh at Kay's perfect pronunciation. But we cannot be jealous of Kay's personality, for Kay is a friend to all. BARBARA LITTLE . . . Pcrt Little is a big girl, and an aw- fully niee one. Sweet and smart, mirthful and merry, Barbara will never be alone, for she will al- ways have friends. JOHN LUCAS . . . Ilusky . . . Not H an Eskimo husky, nor yet a husky voice. We mean that Bud is brim full of vim, vigor, and pep. One of our best liked boys, and who wonders why, when they get to know him? ELEN MALCOLM . . . Rhythm . . . Tiny feet tap out delicate rhythms of the hardest dance. There is a rhythm in Helenis life too, and an equal amount of work and play, seems to make Helen such an un-dull girl, or at least George knows that to be a fact. 71 WHN - Yliq marc Beer ef ...dz uv Za:-ayvlw gs- C329 060' lfqlvi as ly . . . cc onet of s un ng hair crow iis ruler of 'rts.

We are usually unlucky in such, but Edna is a sure bet. bu DORIS JEAN MILLER . . . Pep- py . . . Peppy, precise Doris is collected no matter what and she is a girl who knows what's what. Don't let her quizzical state in the library fool you, for beneath those lovely lids, Doris Jean doesn't miss a trick-does she boys? DOMINICK MUTO . . . Irrepres- sible . . . You eouldn't scold a fellow like Dom, even if he snagged a run in your pet pair of hose, for Muto's wide grin and easy talk can extricate the lad from any situation. That is fortunate, for Dominick can fig- ure out a lot of dastardly tricks to play-girls, beware! DON MYLONE . . . Correct . . . Don is usually right about every thing, but that doesn't signify that Mylone's perspicuous- or haven't you watched him dis- play his athletic prowess at lunch? An intelligent, likeable, person-and we are correct in that last item. 4 RE INA -DO . . Genial . A ig s 'le i steadily - ee w come you . z . 0 our est friends an prob' yours.

Patient isn't all Tom is-a good sport, athlete, and student -all in one. And no one is ever out of patience with patient Tom. NANCY NORMAN . . . Peerless I . . . CNancy Lowe did not write thisj. Naney's got everything- a high average, an amazing voice, and a pleasing personali- ty. Is it any wonder that we call Nancy the peerless parcel of West Hi? For she surely fits that diversified adjective. A friend to all, and all are her friends. OANNA OLD . . . Chatter joanna can talk at anytime, is never at a loss for words, and her loquaciousness is most envi- able. Her chief problems are finding shoes to fit her tiny feet, and keeping the glistening pol- ish on her nails, unehipped. Very brainy and very witty, Joanna can keep us interested in even Hammarappi-for she tru- ly has the gift of gala! 1' IJ 0554? ll e ,r -n't een able to . o- ich 1 l I s . .3 g .2 , , ' e Low' V ,M--rr, Q.- ,gzvia Q tr kv L UU iflfiiffeefifsf ffm ,I J' 'i' ' 17 'l '.,f 4' ' N I Fi ' f is fs ,,Aj:f' , f 'wggm - I if ,i ,ar I , , ' .1 J -' ' X n 1 L . ,A , 1..- V if '- , i L K I, f W , R KE ZJZXJ I -ff i, S,--:v3,,w i I i 3 'ii- 'f ANN: Paozz1L1.o '1-'.rif,ff1 . , i Aunfis the most important fier- son we know and one of the nicest.

Lenore cares a bit more for boys than for Plane Geometryf, and who would blame us for preferring Lenore to congruent triangles? MARJORIE PATTERSON . . . Tranquil . . . Margie Patterson- small boned, dark haired, and hazel eyed, is probably as tran- quil a person as bustilng West Hi can offer. Margie's activities, as any of her numerous friends can tell you, would knock out an average person. Plenty of vim and vigor-in a tranquil intelli- gent wuy. ' in RUTH ANN ROMINO . Fiery . . . As if Rufus's flanting hair. were'n't red tpardonj auburn, Cfltlllgll, this usually peaceful person has a quick temper-on just provocation. There is an xv quality in Rufus that makes ev- eryone like her, perhaps it is because Ruth Ann likes every- one. C349 ,IERRY ROGERS . . ,, Exuberant . . . .

She just loves to: talk, be a majorette, an athlete, .sing- and to be friend to all. jerry is unpredictableuaiml illimitahle- and maybe incorrigihle. But it's only jerry's spirits exuberating.

If this massive marvel would devote himself to his studies with as much virgor as he does to his drums, poor Ein- stein would return to nursery school. Stan's good natured laugh, ready wit, and happy dis- position, contribute much to his being our Ideal Drummer. C359 NANCY LEE SMITH . . . Superi- or . . .Nancy Lee is definitely a superior girl. Not a holier than thou sort of person, Nancy Lee's superiority is the result of simple, correct clothes, unassum- ing intelligence, cooperativeness, and interest in other people.

With the Polar Bears winning only 6 games while losing 5, they finished the season with .545 win percentage. Coach Paul Biz Dawson set up a very rugged eleven game schedule including four West Virginia Interscholastic Conference op- ponents. This West Virginia Interscholastic Conference was formed last year by a group of coaches at a meeting at Morgantown. As the first president of the Conference, they elected Coach Dawson. The Polar Bears started out the season like a house afire, winning the first six games. Against Barrackville the Bears had great dif- ficulty in overcoming the Bisons by a 6-0 score. Riversville, Farmington, and Manning- ton all fell victims of the Bears by large scores. Next came the Big Reds of Parkersburg who were overcome by a 7-6 score. Everyone thought the Bears were on their way to anoth- er successful season. St. Mary's of Clarksburg was supposed to be an easy spot on this yearis schedule. The Stripers nearly upset the apple-cart before bowing to the Polar Bears 27-12. Like Bar- rackville, Stonewall Jackson, Bluefield, Weir- ton, and East Fairmont, the Stripers used the T-formation which seemed to bother the Bears all year. This belief seems borne out by the fact that the West Siders won only two games while losing four against the teams using the T and at times appeared completely fooled by plays run from the T-formation. Against the single-wing formation, only Moundsville was able to overcome West Side. The Bluefield game was played on a slip- pery field which appeared to hurt the Bears more than it did the Beavers. Time after time the Bears were caught before their backs could get started on the wet turf. Again the T-formation of the Beavers fooled the Bears and the array of hard-running backs of Blue- field ran well in spite of the wet weather. The Polar Bears were really up,' for the Stonewall Jackson game. They played perhaps their best game of the year against the co- state champion. Jackson, Richards, and Ross all played excellently against Stonewall. Against W eirton it was just too much power for the Bears. The Bears played a good game against overwhelming odds. Both of Fair- mont's touchdowns came on passes. Weirton had a fine group of backs headed by Gene Kamensky who just would 11ot go down when hit. The blocking of the Weirton line was great and made gaping holes in the Polar Bears' line which made it easy for the backs to run. On Armistice Day it rained all the night be- fore and all the next day. By game time the field- was a sea of mud, but still a record crowd was on hand. The play was hard, but the Bears seemed to lose heart after one play in the first quarter. Moreman threw a pass which two West High players and one East Fairmont player fought for. The West High player battered the slippery ball around and finally the ball landed in the arms of the East player who was lying on the ground. After that it was Katy-bar-the-doorf, It was a crippled West Fairmont High team that lost to Moundsville. Although the Polar Bears were beaten in the last five games, they refused to quit fight- ing. No matter what the score was they refus- ed to give up. We feel confident that if the Bears had been at full strength for all games, the season might have had a different ending. We look to the future with hope and look back at the past season with no regrets at all. -Bruce Davis BOB CUNNINCIIAM-Taelcle-Bob was seriously handicapped during this last football season and, as a result, saw very little aetion. On the seeond day of praetiee Bob hurt his baek and was sent lo the hos- pital for a munber of weeks. After returning to prae- tiee he was just returning to his form of last year, the year in whieh he made end on the all Marion County first team, when he hurt his ankle in another game and was out for the remainder of the season. lt goes without question that if Bob had uol been hurt during most of the year he would have been a shining figure for the Polar Hear team. lle and jack- son must take their plaee in the list of wounded stars for Coaeh Dawson. C81 JOHN EVERSON-End-Big john prox ed to be one of the sparkling points on an otherwise ordinary team. john was handicapped at the first part of the season because of his inexperienee, as this was his first year out for football. After the first part of the season, he advanced rapidly until he proved to be one of the best offensive ends for VVest Iligh in many years. john was used mostly on offensive beeause of' an injured elbow and ankle. Time after time, John made some unbelievable pass eatehes during the game. Carl Hamill, VVeirton eoaeh. said of john. lie is one of the best high school ends I have ever seenf' john made Morgantown sportswriter, Con llard- mau's All Northern Football Eleven and also was selected for a first team berth on the NVest Virginia Interseholastie team. Yard hy Yard WEST 6-BARRACKVILLE 0 In a game played on Saturday afternoon, September 6, the 1947 edition of Coach Paul Bizn Dawson's West Fairmont Polar Bears opened its season. The Bears had to go all-out to defeat a surprisingly strong Barrackville team. The game was a cat and dog fight' for three quarters, until Richard School- ey raced 16 yards for the first and only score of the game. The rest of the game was marked with long drives up and down the field. West made mistake after mistake, which was to be expected, in their first game of the season. Only fumbles by the Barrackville backfield saved the Polar Bears from disaster. WEST 37-RIVESVILLE 0 In a drizzling rain the Polar Bears won their second game of the new season by defeating the weak Rivesville team. Scoring almost at will, the Bears put on a great display of power. The high point of the game was the play of the West High line, which held Rivesville in check during the entire game. Only once were the Rams able to cross mid-field, that on a fumble. Charlie Keener was the unheralded star of the game, setting up two touch- downs with long runs. Ross, with three touchdowns led the scorers. jimmy jackson, Frank Stingo, and Bruce Davis also contributed one TD each. WEST 48-FARMINGTON 0 In the first game played underneath the new 817,000 lighting plant, the Bears ran wild, beating Farmington 48-0. The backfield of the Polar Bears made the field look like a race track as it sprinted up and down with little or no oppo- sition. The play of the West line again about stole the show from the backs. Ross again was the leading scorer, but had to take second place to Richard Moore in thrills. Richard, center of the team, scored a touchdown in the second quarter on a lateral. VVEST 22-MANNINGTON 0 After many anxious moments, the Polar Bears defeated the Big Green of Mannington, 22-0. After throwing away countless scoring chances because of the poor blocking, the big bad Bears scored two touchdowns and a safety in the second quarter to take the lead. Scoring just one touchdown in the last half, the Bears were content to hold the Big Green in check and prevent them from scor- ing. It was the fourth straight win for the Bears. VVEST 7-PARKERSBURC 6 On October 3, the Big Reds of Parkersburg came to Fairmont to do battle with West,s Polar Bears. They expected an easy victory, but they didn't reckon with a fighting Polar Bear team. But from the very start the Bears played inspir- ed ball, The Big Reds scored first and everyone, thought that was the ball game. Everyone, that is, except the team. Coming back with a bang, the Bears finally scored with a short line plunge. With the score tied 6-all, Tony Megna went back as if to kick the extra point. When the ball was snapped, Richard Schooley took the ball and threw a perfect strike to john Everson, who made a great leaping catch for the extra point. This turned out to be the ball game. Not enough praise can be given to the team which played such great ball, and to jimmy Jackson, who was the great offensive star of the game. fContinued on page 84? C327 s ,-...A- - JIMMY JACKSON-Fiillhackflackson was one of the three regulars returning from last year's team. Jim proved to he the most consistent ground-gainer on the 1947 edition of NVQ-st Fairmont Polar Bears. ,Iimmy was hurt in practice hefort the Bluefield game. Ile refused to miss the games, although greatly hand- icapped hy the horn shoulder. After playing a great defensive game in the Stonewall game, he lmrt his ankle in the XVeirton game. Because of these in- juries he played only four plays in the East-VVcst game and didn't even dress for the Moimdsville game. What jackson and the Polar Bears could have done this season had not jackson heen injured will furnish good conversation for a long time. C337 ROCKY NANNI-Guard'- Hricky proved one of the mainstays of a very solid line lmilt this year around Cunningham and himself. Nanni, time and time, again lead the line in defensive play plus being one of the hest lxlockers on the line. During the lat- ter part of the season Rocky was shifted to tackle where he performed nohly. Nanni was a small hoy, hut what he lacked in size he made up for in fight. Roc-kyl' was also one of the many injured players performing on this year's team. Ile was hothered all year with a trick knee which slowed him down con- siderahly. fContinued from page 821 WEST 27-ST. MARYS 12 The St. Maryis game proved almost to be a stumbling block for the Polar Bears. The Stripers succeeded in pushing the Dawsonmen almost to the limit before bowing 27-12. 'Ihe St. Mary's team came to Fairmont with an unimpres- sive record against small and lightly-regarded opponents. Against the Bears, however, the Stripers played inspired ball. At one place in the first half, the Stripers were within one point of tying the score, 13-12, but the Bears finally pushed ahead to win. This let down might have been expected because of the great win the week before over Parkersburg. WEST 0-BLUEFIELD 6 Against Bluefield the victory streak of the Fairmont Polar Bears was stopped at six straight. In a game played in a downpour of rain, the Beavers from Blue- field scored a touchdown in the first half and then held the Bears from the goal line for the remainder of the game to gain the victory. Displaying a host of hard- running backs, the Beavers seemed to take advantage of the slippery turf to get their attack going and in holding the lighter Bear backfield in check. The offensive strength of the Bears was damaged a great deal by the loss of jimmy jackson, who hurt his shoulder in practice earlier in the week and was unable to play. The only scoring CIIHIICC for the Bears came in the third quarter. In punt formation on his own 19 yard line, Bruce Davis faked a kick and ran 61 yards before being pulled down from behind. From there the Bears advanced to the 4 yard line where they lost the ball on downs. That was the ball game as far as the Bears were concerned. WEST 0-STONEWALL JACKSON 7 Against Stonewall jackson of Charleston, which later was elected co-state champions along with Beckley, the Polar Bears really showed great class and fight. Against overwhelming odds and material the Oakwood Roaders held this great team to a 7-0 score. Again it was the great defensive line of the Bears that all but stole the show away from the Generafs line, led by two all-stater, Sam- ples and Danter. Time and again this line outplayed the West line on the offense, but not on the defense was the West line willing to be outplayed. Also, coming in for their share of credit are jimmy Iackson, Tiger joei' Richards, and joe Ross. jackson and Richards played sparkling defensive ball from their positions as line-backersv, and we would say they made at least 40 per cent of the tackles made all evening. Ross was brilliant on the offense as he ripped off long gain after long gain through the great General line. WEST 12-VVEIRTON 27 After playing a great game against Stonewall the week before, the Bears again proved that they were a hot and coldv ball club by being completely out- classed by Weirton. In the first half it appeared that the Red Riders might run the Polar Bears completely out of the ball park. In the second half the Polar Bears came back to make a more interesting game of it, but the Bears were never in the gamef, The Weirton High team was, perhaps, the best offensive team the Bears faced all season. Working smoothly in the T-formation the Red Riders went fContinued on page SGD C849 'N X gills sw XV?

Playing second team last year, it was thought that Schooley would he one of the sparkplugs of this year's team. llc started off the season as if that is just what he was going to be. Scoring the only touchdown against liarlackville, everyone thought Dick was on his way. After that game he slowly slip- ped in his playing until he was back on the second team. Against XVL-irtou he again caught fire and was placed back on thc first string. Richard was, perhaps, the best passer on the NVest lligh team this year, but he was used very little in this department. ll Schooley had had just a little more hustle on the team, he, undoubtedly, would have been one of the better ball players in the state. C853 DAVE BARKER-End-After two years of playing for the reserves, it again looked as if Dave was going to play most of his senior year on the bench until his great showing against VVeirton. After that game he played a great part of the games in place of Meg- na. It was Barker, along with Sehooley, who sparked the Bear attack in the last quarter against NVeirton High. and he caught a pass for the second and last touchdown for VVest High. Despite the fact that Barker didn't play a great deal during the first part of the season, hc continued to fight and lmstle, which speaks well for any ball play- er. Along with Sehooley, Barker was the funny man of the team and was constantly keeping the team in good spirits with his jokes and impressions of other players. YARD BY YARD QContinued from page 847 through and over the West line. In Gene Kamenski the Weirton team had a great running back and one who could catch passes, as well. Even when the Bears stopped the running attack, the Red Riders would complete passes for long gains. Another sad part of this game was the injury to jimmy jackson, who hurt his ankle early in the game. It was the third straight loss for the Bears. WEST 0-EAST 25 In a game played in a sea of mud, the East Fairmont Bees, the bitter cross- town rival of West High overwhelmed the VVest Fairmont Polar Bears, 25-0 in the traditional Armistice Day battle. All the night before and all during the game, the rain continued to pour onto the playing field. By game time the field was so muddy that it appeared to have no bottom. But the elements did not pre- vent a record crowd from watching the game. West was outplayed completely, both on the offense and defense. Time and again the heavy backfield of East found the going easier for them than the Bears. Also the defensive line of the East team, which was supposedly their weak point outplayed the West line and got the West backs before they had a chance to get a start. ' In our opinion, the turning point of the game was early in the first quarter. With the Bees on the West 35-yard line, Moreman faded back to pass. He threw the pass to an East end who was waiting for the ball on the West 5, but he was covered by two West High men. All went up into the air in an effort to get the ball. For breathless seconds the ball bounced from finger-tip to finger-tip. Then the ball appeared to fall harmlessly to the ground, but it was here that Dame Fortune turned her eye on East Fairmont. The East end who had been knocked to the ground in the struggle, reached out and grabbed the ball into his arms before it touched the ground. After that it was an easy matter to score. This seemed to break the back of the West team and they were never the same the rest of the game. After the first touchdown is was Katy-Bar-the-Door. for the Bears. VVEST 0-MOUNDSVILLE 26 After four straight defeats the Polar Bears seemed to fall completely apart in their last game of the season. Iourneying to Moundsville for the Saturday game, the Bears were in high hopes of finishing the 1947 season with a victory. This hope was completely destroyed by the Trojans as they rolled over West 26-0. On the first scrimage play for Moundsville they broke loose their star runner, F romhart, for a 50 yard touchdown jaunt. As if this werenit disgrace enough, on the third scrimage play for Moundsville M. Fromhart again broke loose for an- other long touchdown run. After that touchdown the winner of the ball game was never in doubt. West was greatly handicapped for this game, due to the fact that Coach Dawson had excused five seniors from playing the last game due to injuries. Without a doubt West could have put on a better ball game had these seniors not been out. C869 ?.s3..i's X , . J at H . A . lf, . . Argfxsi- I , i W rx. , DOMINICK MASSETT-Tackle-Olie of the bigger boys on the team, Dom was a better than average tackle both on the offense and the defense. He could he depended upon to make his share of tackles and hold up his end of the line. If Massett had any weak- ness at all, it was his blocking in the line. This point was one of the weak points of the VVest line this year. Dom was a first stringer at the start of the season, but with the return ol' Cunningham to the NVQ-st line-up again, he was shifted back to the post ot a fine re- serve. From this reserve spot he was used a great deal and was outstanding in this field. C877 PAUL STEVENS-Tackle- Red was another fine lineman this year. He played first tcam tackle for the first' part of the season until the return of Bob Cun- ningham. He then was second team until he was overtaken by flu in the last part of the season, miss- ing the last two games. Red used his size to great advantage in plugging a big hole in the line and hol- stering his side of the line. Paul was a rough man on the line hut a good-natured fellow all the time. Paulis best game was on the defense and called on a great deal when the Polar Bears were in a tough spoc. JOE RICHARDS-Center-VVith the addition of Ioe Richards to this yearis team, the defensive strength was, perhaps, the best defensive lineman on this year's team and was given the task of backing up the line on the defensive with Iackson. It was at this position that he excelled. Roaming all over the field, he made tackle after tackle. Joe's defensive play gave many an opposing backfield man the night- marc. joe was used mostly on the defense at center, but when he played on the offense it was at fullback in place of jackson. After the injury to Jackson, Rich- ards becainc the first team's fullback besides playing at his old center post. l l r JOE ROSS-Halfback-joe was one of the three regulars returning from last year's State Champion- ship team. He, along with jimmy Jackson, was elected eo-captain of this year's football team. loc was not a brilliant player but he was one of the most depend- able performers on the gridiron the past season for the Polar Bears. Besides doing ahnost all the passing, Joe called plays for the team and was about the best defensive back on the squad. Ioe played his greatest ball game against Stonewall Jackson, gaining in one game more than six other teams had been able to gain through the line. Joe Ross will be remembered for his great fighting spirit and hustle. C885 JIMMY lxIUHRAY-Guard-One of the mighty mites of the Polar Bears, Jim was one of the tough- est linemen the Bears had this year. At times, using his size to great advantage, Murray was always out- charging his heavier opponents and was beating them to the jump in the line play. jimmy was another one of these hall players who, before this year, spent most of his time on the reserves. lf jimmy had only been a little bigger. he probably could have made the first team at one of the guard positions. As it was he had to bc content to be used in the role of a substitute most of the time. NVith Murrayis fight on the weight of someone else, there would have been very few linemen in the northern part of the state that could have outfought jim. RICHARD ItIOORE-Center-Richard proved to and doubting 'l'homases', that size means nothing in football. Dick was one of the smallest players on this year's team and yet one of the best. Moore was one of the smallest players on a first team of any of the major elevens in the state. This made little difference to Richard as he continually outplayed his larger oppo- nents. In the Strmewall-jackson game Richard had the honor of playing opposite Nile Samples, but during the whole game Richard did not make one bad pass. Another great quality of Moorels was his fiery spirit and hustle. Ile was always trying to lift his team into a fiery frieze. lle was all over the field yelling encourage:nent to his team-mates when they needed it most. Richard was also a good blocker and excelled in downfield blocking. ! WWW! KW I Q e 1 COACH PAUL BIZ,' DAWSON-Starting off the year with a group of inexperienced boys, Biz', had the task of building a whole new team. This task he took on without a complaint. After the Parkers- burg game everyone was saying that Coach Dawson had built another championship team. After that West Fairmont seemed slowly to decline. Coach Dawson has done a fine job in turning out winning teams year after year. He has had two state champ- ionship teams during his reign at the Oakwood Road institution. CAPTAIN ADMIRAL KERR-Assistant Coach- In his first year as assistant coach at West High, Bill Kerr has won the respect and admiration of the en- tire football squad. Mr. Kerr, who is coach at Fair- mont Junior High, was given the task of hui di g the line for this year's team. Thc defensive record of West shows what a great job he has done. He axlsn piloted the scrubs to a very successful season. so L TONY MECNA-End- Hank was overshadowed by Iohn Everson most of the season. He played hard during the whole season. Tony played both on thc offense and defense doing very well on both. John Everson and Hank Megna gave Coach Dawson a fine pair of ends, particularly excellent in pass-catch- ing. Megna played three years of football for West Fairmont, making second team in his junior year and making the first team in his senior year.

From this group Coach Dawson built a team that got better and better as the season progressed. The Coach did such a good job and the team showed such hus- tle that it advanced to the semi-finals of the state tournament until beaten by Princeton, the state tourney winner. At the first of the year Coach Dawson and the rest of the experts didn't give this year's team a chalice of winning one-half of their games. But after a very slow start the Bears began to defeat their opponents in growing regularity until they became one of the hottest teams in the state. Having very little height at the beginning of the year the Bears had to depend upon speed and a fast break to defeat their opponents. This method of attack did not prove very effective against their early season foes. Then at mid-sea- son, when Coach Dawson injected six-four George Davis into the line-up, the Bears chang- ed their style of play. Instead of playing a fast-breaking type of bas- ketball, the Polar Bears began to play control basketball. This system began to get results un- til, at the start of the sectional tournament, the Bears displayed a well-balanced attack. The Bears had little difficulty in defeating Barrackville, Mannington, and East Fairmont in that order. In the final game the Bears regained the city championship from East High. The regional was the same story as the sec- tional. The Bears had just too much class for El- kins and University High of Morgantown. This was the first regional championship for West High since 1943. This victory gave West a place in the state tourney. The luck of the draw in the state tournament placed West in the toughest bracket along with such teams as Charleston, Princeton, and Weir- ton. Playing Weirton in the first game the Bears ran and played their hearts out before defeating Weir High 42-41. With Weirton leading by sev- en points with only three minutes left to play, the Bears staged a great rally and came back within one point of tying the score. With only eight seconds left to play George Davis was foul- ed. He missed his foul but john Everson tipped it in and the game was West's. Against Princeton the Bears played good ball but it wasnit good enough. After the first quar- ter the Bears were never in the ball game, but they held Princeton down to 38 points while scoring 82 themselves. Two tough games in two nights was just too much for the Dawsonmen. After the final game, it was announced that Dick Schooley was named to a guard position on the All Tournament Team. And after that he was named Captain on the second team of the All- State Team. George Davis was given an honor- able mention on the all-state team. This year's team was an honor to West High and Biz,' Dawson.
