The rousing school song sung at the football gamesg the lovely noels at Christmas time, sung by carolers going through the hallsg kids playing the piano in the auditorium at noon and banging out everything from Chopsticks,' to the Warsaw Concertovg the apeppyv music of the band aii the games and in the paradesg you, walking to school hum- ming the latest hifi, the soft music of the orchestra play- ing at the Junior-Senior Prom and Commencement Dance: the solemn, lovely music of the Choral Club at the Gradua- tion Exercises-These are the things that help to make your high school days the happiest time of your life. And so, in the years to come, we hope that when you hear the theme songs of the 1949 Maple Leaves, your mem- ory will bring you back to Fairmont Senior High School, to the pleasant times and all the friends you have had here. 5 W. E. Bwcke , Przinci Ulf Our principal, William E. Buckey, is truly a successful man in every sense of the word. He is an outstanding educator and administrator, a prominent civic leader, a great worker in the church, a true sportsman and a devoted family man.

It was hot and by the time the afternoon practice start- ed, the group had been reduced to about 40. The next few weeks were filled with hard work until the squad began to form into three distinct teams. During this time Bruce Davis, who had been destined to be one of the first line quarterbacks, received an injury to his collarbone. This laid him up until late in the season. The Bears, varsity was being molded about the returning lettermen. In the line they had Fred Shroeder, Jack Gronquist, Ed Thorne and Bill Bunner. In the backfield the Bears had Sandy Welton and Frank Stin- go from last yearis first eleven. Some of the good reserves were Ned Merrifield, George Ball, Charley Truman and many others. The Bears gained strength in Bob Iohnson, a transfer from Elkins, and George Calich, a transfer from Rivesville. Iohnson took on the quarterbacking and punting duties, while Calich was a first string end. The Bears had many hopes laid on Charles Wilcox, 245 pound fullback, and joe Papetti, rugged end. Bob Johnson VIEWS FROM THE BENCH Q Continued D On September 9 the Bears went inio battle for the first time with Rivesville as their foe. The Bears threw a powerful running attack, coupled with an almost impregnable line, at the young and inexperienced Rivesville team to gain a 40-O victory. Sandy VVelton flashed all state form as he galloped for sizable gains each time he carried the ball. The team show- ed a pair of highsteppers in 'iBabe3' Stingo and George Ball. Westis strong line held the Rams to 97 yards rushing. A week later VVest, again flashing a pow- erful attack and a solid forwall, smothered Farmington 41-0. The Oakwood Hoaders, front line again proved practically impenetra- ble with the Farmers gaining a mere 27 Yards via the ground. After a week's practice the Bruins were surprised and their apple cart almost upset by a stubborn fighting Barrackville eleven. Westis heretofore stonewall, line- suddenly became a virtual sieve and without brilliant tackling by the backs the story might have been different. After a very rough 60 minutes the Bears em- erged with a 14-6 victory. On October 1 the Oakwood Roaders travel- ed to Parkersburg and absorbed a defeat, which some called an upset at the hands of the Big Redsf' West made a fight of it Fred Schroeder If 84 Qi VIEWS FROM THE BENCH fContinuedj throughout the entire game and had the Park- ersburgers baffled for a while with their tric- ky spread formation. Quarterback Bob Iohn- son, whose bullet straight passes kept the Bears in the game, played one of the most brilliant games of his careerg but it was not in the cards for the F airmonters to emerge victo- rious and when the final gun sounded the Big Reds had it 18-6. On the following Saturday the Bruins, again on the road, journeyed to nearby Clarks- burg for a tussle with St. Marys. The Bears, after clicking for two fast touchdowns, were Tim Arbogast I -3 .S I Q! i Babe Stingo suddenly smothered and were pressed to pull out with a 14-13 victory. Again on the road, the Oakwood lioaders tackled the Beavers of Beaver High in Blue- field on October 16 in another hard-fought contest. VVest dropped this by a 7-6 score. On October 22 the F airmonters returned to East-West Stadium to meet last yearls State Co-champions, Stonewall Jackson of Charles- ton. ln the Ceneral's line West encountered a virtual Stonewall and in the backfield a fine pair of backs in Happy Shore and Oaky Farly. After being outclassed by an offensive mind- ed team for 60 minutes, the Bears again went down to defeat by a 25-0 score. Scene in Armistice Day Battle between East and West VIEWS FROM THE BENCH fContinuedQ On the next Friday the Polar Bears were again defeated, this time by a well balanced group of Weirton gridders. In a game that was fought in a sea of mud, the Red Riders from the northern panhandle emerged 12-7 victors, This game marked the return to the lineup of Bruce Davis and an injury to Frank Stingo which kept him out of action until af- ter the East-West game. On Monday the Bruins buckled down for two weeks of hard practice in preparation for the East-West Came on Armistice Day. As is the custom, it rained before the game and as a consequence the field was in very bad condition. After spotting East a 13 point lead in the first half, the Bruins came roaring back to tie the game up before the final gun sound- ed. The Oakwood Roaders, 200 pound for- ward wall seemed to snap out of the coma which it had been in since the second game and played an exceptionally good game. The week after the Bruins pulled their up- set tie with the East Bees, the Moundsville Trojans came to town. On another muddy field with a frozen rain falling, the Bruins went rown to a 27 to 0 defeat. The Mounds- villers displayed one of the best backfields ever seen in East-West Stadium. In closing out their 1948 season the Bears also closed the high school career of 18 sen- iors. In the backfield the Oakwood Roaders lost such first line men as Sandv Welton. George Ball, Frank Stingo, Bob Johnson and stellar reserves in Charlie Truman, Dominick Muto, Henry Viglianco and Clark Morris. On the line the Bears lost 3f4 of their so called Beef Trustv in the graduation of Fred Sch- roeder, jack Cronquist and Bill Watts all over 200. Also the loss of Ed Thorne, Tim Arbo- gast, Pete Garrison, Bill Bunner, Ned Merri- field, Dick Rodriquez and Bob Spiro will hurt next season.

Arbogast Hartley T. .ill Arbogast Casey at the Bat The Fairmont VVest Polar Bears went to the mound 15 times last season to come up on top for 11 victories and bow to the strong op- position only 4 times. Under the tutelage of Coach Biz', Dawson the blue and white opened the season with 1-0 loss to the Fairview Indians with joe Ret- tonlpitching a brilliant no-hit game. jim Hart- ley was at the helm for the loss. The follow- ing game with Rivesville was more prosper- ous with the score being 15-3 after using a total of 15 players. Next on the bill was a double header with Barrackville and Monon- gah. Both contests were equally successful to the tune of 9-4 and 14-11 respectively. Next the Bruins continued into the season to take the next four tilts in high gear by de- feating Mannington 15-3, Barrackville 11-4, Rivesville 12-1, and Farmington 1-5. Again the Fairview nine and the Bears met and Fairmont fell before the Indians 3-1. Taking defeat again in its stride the Daw- sonmen came back to down Farmington 4-2 in the next clash on the scale. Monongah clos- ed the Bears regular season by downing them After their last game of the season the Bears began to prime for the tournaments which were to begin May 11. The sectional tournament was to be split, three teams to compete in Grant Town and four in Fairmont. The winners would then play for the cham- pionship at East-West Stadium. On the first day of the tournament at Fair- mont the Oakwood Roaders had a little trou- ble in subdueing the Bisons from Barrackville, 7-5, with Hartley and johnson dividing the pitching chores, Hartley getting the win. In the second game Farmington topped Man- nington 6-3. Meanwhile the hard-hitting Fair- view Indians were having all kinds of diffi- culty downing the Rivesville Rams. The Mo- nongah Lions received a bye to the second round. The next day the Farmington Farmers plagued by the tired arms of their first string pitchers dropped the game to the Battling Bears 6-3. West,s portside curveballer Tim Arbogast hurled for the Bears. At the same time in Grant Town the Monongah Lions were pulling one of the biggest upsets of the year. They outhit and outran the Redskins of Fair- view by a score of 4-3. The Bears then won the sectional by a sur- prising 20-3 ruin of Monongah. The Bears got 9 runs in the first inning and kept up the slugging through the remainder of the game. jim Hartley was the winning pitcher. Casey at the Bat fContinuedj The next week the Bears went into the re- gional tournament. The Bruins were pitted against Roosevelt-Wilson of Clarksburg and West Milford.Unidis was to meet Rowles- burg. The Bears, who got men on in each inning, could not seem to hit in the clutches and dropped the opener. The Prexes got to Tim Arbogast in the fourth for three runs. Iim Hartley who relieved Arbogast gave up no hits for the three remaining innings. The second game of the day was one of the best played this year at the East-West Stadi- um. A courageous, outclass Rowlesburg team toppled a powerful West Milford nine 2-1. johnny Murphy called one of West Virginia's best high school pitchers struck out 26 men. An ungainly first baseman named Burley Goff knocked a homerun, a triple and stole home the winning run. The next day in a bat- tle of tired ball clubs Roosevelt-Wilson out- lasted Rowlesburg to win the tournament.

The club, from the best starter down through the last reserve, is a credit to the school, to Fairmont, and to West Virginia. With only one leftover from last year's starting five, Coach Paul Biz Dawson pulled out of his versatile hat, what was called by many, the best high school team ever to play in the Field House in Morgantown. To single out one individual as the greatest is impossible. Each one had a part, and when put together formed the greatest high school club West High has ever produced. Looking down the line- up we see the name Calich. George is a dead-eye. It has been said, Give Calich the ball, a spot in the corner and all there is left to do is chalk up two more points for the Bears. Calich, a junior, will be back swishing them for the Polar Bears next year. Next we see Mezzanotte. Ah, but there's many a college freshman coach that would like to see that name on his roster next year. Pat is an un- canny passer and floorman as well as a steady point maker. At the center spot we see Davis. This lanky beanpole called Butch', owns the most devastating hook-shot since Tony Lavelli of Yale. George has one up on Lavelli thoughg he drops them through with undis- turbed precision either left or right handed, Besides all this, George is an excellent pivot man. Next comes the name Arbogast. Tim is the coolest player on theffloor, a great playmaker, and an ace on close in push shots. Tim is the sparkplug of the team. Last, there is Sandy VVelton, a deadly set shot artist who dropped in 8 for 8 in one game. Welton is a great playmaker and often finds himself on the payoff end of a slick play by his teammates. Don Shotts cannot be left out. Don who played considerably during the year, is a speedster and is often the receiving end of the fast break. Put all this together and it is .not hard to understand why these boys brought the big trophy back from Morgantown. The 1949 Polar Bear five was great and we're proud of them. So we say, Hats off to a great teamlifp Thanks to Fred King for his helpful work in photography. 98 '49 'lA'I'E CHAMP First Row: Sandy VVelton, Charley Wilcox, George Davis, Pat Mezzanottc, Ceorgc Calich Tim Arbogast.
