We Dedicate This Book to Mr. Hawkins MR. HAWKINS VVe dedicate the 1950 Maple Leaves to Miss Wolfe and Mr. Hawkins in recognition of their many years of service to Fairmont Senior High School, and as a token of appre- ciation for their contribution to the develop- ment of the school and of the students who attended their classes. Ensel I. Hawkins taught mechanical draw- ing, and business mathematics here for many years as well as serving as faculty adviser of the stage crew and as supervisor of the build- mg. The words of Iohn Henry Newman best describe Mr. Hawkins, a true gentleman, whose great concern is to make everyone at their ease and at home, . . . he is tender to- ward the bashful, gentle toward the distant . . . he makes light of favors while he does them, and seems to be receiving when he is conferringf' Mr. Hawkins was active in all things for the betterment of education, having served as president of the Classroom Teachers' Associ- ation and of the Marion County Teachers' Association. A man of fine character, he is a member of the First Methodist church and of the Masonic Lodge, Number 9. Mr. Hawkins lives with his wife in Fairmont. At the request of the yearbook staff, Mr. Hawkins kindly wrote this message about his years at Fairmont Senior High: By the yarclstick of Time, thirty-five years in one school would not be long, but we find that it is the friendships rather than the years by which we measure real livingg and so, in retrospect, yet always seeking the new, we are assured: The issues of life to be, We weave in colors all our own, Ancl in the fields of Destiny, W' e reap what we have sownf' and Miss Woife for Their Faith ul Service MISS WOLFE Miss Viola A. Wolfe shares with Mr. Haw- kins this recognition by the students and fac- ulty in appreciation of her many years of faithful service in the English Department. Always desirous of upholding high standards for Fairmont Senior High School, Miss Wolfe, a lady of culture and refinement, is thought- ful of others, widely read, and keenly inter- ested in people. Her Wide interests and con- cern for community affairs is attested by her membership in the American Association of University VVomen, The Fairmont Business and Professional Womenis Club, the YWCA, and the local and National Educational As- sociations. She is an active member of the First Presbyterian Church. Miss Wolfe lived for a number of years in Japan, traveled around the World and extensively in Canada and the United States. Concerning her years here Miss Wolfe said, I shall always feel deeply attached to my former pupils, the faculty and the principal- those Who shared with me the opportunities of being a learner, a teacher, a friend. I hope that during rny years at Fairmont Senior High School, the pleasure, knowledge, and under- standing of life attained through mutual stu- dy may in some Way have helped others. I Wish only that I might have contributed moref, These pertinent lines by Wordsworth char- acterize Miss Wolfe: The reason firm, the temperate will, Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill . . . Principal, Facalt and Administrators VV. E. BUCKEY, Principal YVith his eyes on wide horizons, Mr. Buckey is ever alerted for broad- ening Fairmont Senior High School's program to make this school a vital force in the lives of his students. Through his attention not only to the local scene, but to problems of school administration on thc national level as well, Mr. Buckey has become recognized by his colleagues as an out- standing modern educator. Acceptance of new ideas, difficult for some, is one of his chief charac- teristics. In the interest of Fairmont Senior High, Mr. Buckey, during the past term, has attended a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Na- tional Association of Secondary School Principals in Washington, D.C., October 7 to 14, 1949, the Virginia Education Association, Richmond, Va., November 11 to 13 where he addressed the Virginia State High School Principals, the annual dinner meeting of the National Commission for the Public Schools held at the Roosevelt Hotel, New York City, January 17, 1950, and the convention of the National Association of Secondary School Principals at Kansas City in February at which time he was presiding offi- cer at sessions of more than 2,000 principals from all parts of the United. States- He is now serving as a member ex-officio of that association.

The present expanding guidance, vocational, and visual education programs are recent examples of his interest in these fields. Lucile Jenkins, Melrose B.

FONDAW 1894-1950 Students and faculty alike were shocked and saddened by the sudden death, January 27, 1950, of Mr. F ondaw. He joined the faculty of Fairmont Senior High School in 1921, com- ing here after teaching for two years at the Association Institute in Baltimore, Md. Mr. F ondaw was a graduate of Kentucky State Teachers college, Bowling Green, Ky., and attended the Bowling Green Business university. After receiving his bachelor of science degree he taught at his home town high school at Bandana, and then taught for one year at Chaska, Minn., High school. From there he entered the U.S. Army where he spent the next two years with service overseas. He was born October 15, 1894 in Lowes, Ky., the son of XVilliam Augustus Fondaw and Mary Iane Heard. On Iune 27, 1925 he married Leona Allen of Fairmont. He was the father of four child- ren: Mrs. William F. Bush, jr., Bessemer Ala., and Ann F ondaw, Mary Iannis Fondaw, and Joseph William Fondaw. W 1 l y MB. FONDAW The students and faculty of Fairmont Senior High School dedi- cate these pages of the 1950 Maple Leaves to the memory of Mr. A. F. F ondaw, one of their fellow workers and teachers. 'F or twenty-nine years his services have been unfailing and his loyalty has been unequalled. He was loved and admired by teach- ers, students, and patrons alike. He has for many years been inter- ested in sports and he assumed faculty management of these events. p He was our school treasurer and was head of the Commercial De- l partment and taught these subjects. He was a successful teacher, a loyal friend and co-Worker. In the words of Mrs. Arthur Stanley and We quote: He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved muchg who has enjoyed the respect of intelligent men and the love of little childreng who has filled his niche and ac- complished his taskg who has left the world better that he found itg who has never lacked appreciation of the earthls beauty or I failed to express itg who has always looked for the best in others and given the best he hadg whose life was an inspirationg Whose memory a benedictionf' That was Mr. F ondaw. 1 ' This tribute was composed and read by Mr. Buckey over radio station WM MN, january 28, 1950, during the intermission at the Weirton game. 11 A CLASS OFFICERS jack Welton, president Eckess jones, vice-president Marcella Bischof, secretary DQ fi ww 1 w 392911 1 v x . , rwfnn' H Y' ' 'H' ' 6 I S r Q W E I l r .

Fairmont also sent two delegates to the Southern Regional Convention of Student Governments in Charleston, W. Va. As one of its projects this year, the Student Government provided a new rostrum for the auditorium. For the football games, they printed programs in co-operation with the printing de- partment and sold them as a public service and a means of earning funds. They sponsored a Variety Show using only student talent. The Student Government sponsors transpor- tation for the student body to out of town games, and annually sponsors a student mix.

The auto, wood work- ing, and print shops are well equipped and each year continue expand- ing their services and opportunities for learning. Under the direction of Mr. Drummond, the boys learn to make many useful and attractive things including furniture, lamps, and other household articles, as well as cabinets, doors, and various gadgets. Mr. McLarama supervises the repair of the engines and motors and sees to it that the boys finish their jobs without having parts left over. Many of the fellows in this department later find satisfactory jobs in garages and service stations in town. Fundamentals of printing are learned under the direction of Mr. White, himself a professional printer as well as being a mathematic in- structor.

In ten minute class sessions, parents talked with the teachers, discussed the school program, and their progeny's brighter moments. 72 To chool - Parents Night, ov. 14th Exchanging places with the children, parents listen to greetings and directions from Mr. Buckey. Parents also heard a musical program by our Choral club before proceeding to the various classrooms to greet the teachers. x In connection with the observance of National Educa- tion Week, Parents' Nightv was held here November 14, 1949. First, the parents attended a general assem- bly in the auditorium where they were welcomed by the principal, Mr. Buckey, and heard several numbers by the Choral Club. Then, each following the study sched- V 73 ule of his own child, parents attended shortened class sessions where they met the various teachers. Exhausted by the whirl of taking a capsulized view of our students, day, parents were revived with refreshments served in the cafeteria where members of the Choral club acted as hosts and hostesscs.

The team was composed mostly of newcomers, forty-two' in number selected from sixty hopefuls. The Bears were able only to push over two scores on a Rivesville club they trounced a year ago by five touch- downs in the opener. Frank DeMoss scored both T.D.,s for Fair- mont and on the opening kickoff ran seventy- one yards for a tally. Newbrough made the only extra point. In their following game, the Bears improved their game by one point to beat F armington by a score of 14-0. For Fair- mont Calich and Wilcox scored T.D.'s and DeMoss and Wilcox made points after touch- downs. While not actually scoring, Papetti was an outstanding figure on the defense. Showing considerable improvement over past performances, Fairmont West's gridiron jug- gernant rolled over an out-classed Barrack- ville eleven by a 47 to 0 score. Wilcox stood out offensively as well as defensively scoring three touchdowns. Also scoring were Christie, Papetti, and Spadafore.

The main highlight of the game was the slick passing of southpaw Tommy Newbrough, who com- pleted seven out of ten tosses. Taking their first game out of the county, the Bears kept their slate clean by beating the St. Mary's Stripers 7 to 0. DeMoss scored the only tally on a handoff around end. Ca- lich, Dzielski, and Sakert were outstanding on the line while Christie and DeMoss work- ed the backfield. Again on October 15 the Bruins downed a rugged but out-fought Blue- field Beaver team 12-0 before a crowd of 3,500 fans. The Bears scored in the second half. Both attempts for extra points were pushed down as Calich tried a pass and Chris- tie tried a plunge. Tommy Newbrough again used his powerful left arm and tossed one over to Calich for a T.D. DeMoss made the only other tally on a 26 yard run off left tack- le. Bluefield thundered back, almost scoring but they were bogged down on our 26.

Hoppy Shores scored three of the four touchdowns for the Generals and converted three out of four placements. The Polar Bears fought gamely but the superior manpower of the aroused Stonewall team once again proved too much for the Fairmonters. The invincible Weir High Red Riders roll- ed up a 50-6 margin over the Polar Bears at Weirton. Tom Newbrough, who completed six out of 14 passes, pitched to his chief target, George Calich, and made Westis only tally late in the first half. Weirtonis only fumble was on the opening kickoff on their own 46 yard line. Frank DeMoss broke his nose on a play over the line, leaving the Bears with a weak right-half position. On Friday, November-11, the Bears met the East Fairmont Bees in their annual Armis- tice Day clash. West drew first blood in the game when Mickey Ball, F airmontis center, recovered a fumble on the East 18 yard line. Newbrough threw to Calich on the third and Wilcox, at 220 pounds the biggest man on either team, carried over for six. For the Bees, Hando scored both touchdowns: one in the third and one in the fourth periods. Bill Christie did yeoman service for the Bears on the offense, but George Calich, Mickey Ball, Eckess Jones, john Dzielski, and joe Papetti were also standouts. DeMoss, still suffering from a broken nose which he received in the Weirton game, was replaced by Kenny Merri- field in the backfield. West's line had a slight edge on Eastis 162.8 average. The Bears also- had an edge of two pounds on the average on Eastis baclcfield. As the final buzzer sounded, the new electrical scoreboard showed East 12, West 7. Ending a three game losing streak, Fair- mont Polar Bears closed out the 1949 Football season with a 7-7 tie with Moundsville. The scoring was done by Joe Papetti and Wesley Moon. Papetti took the ball over after his teammates took it on a 60 yard ride. Moon, trying his first extra placement, converted the all-important point. Christie was about the whole show for the Bears, working the RH position. Moundsville score also came on a 60 yard drive. This year Biz Dawson will lose 11 players. through graduation, five of whom were main- stays this season.

Open The Window, Aunt Minnie! After the discouragement of having their first three encounters canceled because of bad weather, the Bears got off to a rousing 18-2 start behind the com- bined 2-hit 2-run pitching of Mezzanotte, Johnson and Arbogast against Barrackville. Again Fairmont showed strength by overpowering Farmington 8-0. Calich showed dazzling speed by striking out 15 batters. johnson proved to be the big boy with the stick, getting 2 for 2. The Bears found the going a little rougher in down- ing Rivesville and finally getting away with a 5-2 vic- tory. The next game, with Fairview, which was billed as one of the top performances of the season was postponed because of rain. The Mannington tilt was highlighted by exception- al work on both sides of the Fairmont Battery. Sansa- lone, F airmont's brilliant backstop, sparked the attack by belting out 4-4 at the plate and driving in 3 of the 10 runs. The other half of the battery, Johnson, pitch- ed shutout ball to go the length. The Dawsonmen, sporting four straight wins, were set down by Fairview, a game having many thrills. ,Io-Io Retton, having a win record of 17 out of his last 20 starts, took Fairmont 4-2 in a well-fought battle. The Bears regained their power by trouncing Mo- nongah 10-3. Tim Arbogast fulfilled the mound chores for Fairmont giving up only 4 hits compared to Bruz- zy's eight. Tim also fanned eleven men. The Farmers, springing back from their earlier de- feat, snuffed out the Bears flame to the tune of 6-3. This proved to be Iohnson's first defeat and the Daw- sonmen's second. In the grand finale, played under the lights, Calich pitched near perfect ball to finish off the season with an impressive 4-0 victory. After suffering his onl de- feat by the Indians, George took the spotliglft in downing Fairview by pitching no-hit- no-run ball. The bears ended the regular season with a record of six wins and two losses. In their first game of the sectional tournament the Oakwood Roaders were outclassed 5-2 by the battling Farmers. Both teams were hard pressed for runs with Farmington coming out on top. The Farmers were overpowered by University High of Morgantown, who in tum were beaten by Fairview, the winners of the '49 sectional tournament. In closing the season the Bears will lose seven sen- iors of the starting nine, but on the other hand they will have back George Calich, Tom Newbrough, Carl Nicolletti, and Ioe Papetti to lead the 1950 squad. 84 Basketball -V-H - 1 -4 . , BASKETBALL SQUAD-Sitting: Manager Dave Vllatkins, Tom Newbrough, Barry Welton, Don Shotts, George Culich, jack VVelt0n, joe Pupetti.

Y- . . Bears Have Good Basketball Season The newly molded Dawson Five battled a star- studded Alumni aggregation but could not hold their own and lost the contest. The Bears then won their first triumph of the regular season over an outclassed Barrackville team by a 43-27 margin. The Bruin's first case of scholastic defeat came at the hands of the Wheeling Colds, in a rough 47-40 contest. Calich, who was suffering from a sprained ankle was not able to take part in the tilt. The Bears next beat St. Mary's by a five point margin and moved in to work on a little-known Chester quint, showing to be one of the roughest clubs seen in this area. The Panthers took a slim lead to take the Fairmonters for a 41-37 ride. After a successful tussel with Huntington Cen- tral, the Dawson men prepared to meet the East Bees in the first game of the annual Inter-city clash- es. During this meeting the West-siders laid waste to the Bees by a 44-35 score. Beckley applied the third loss to the Bears, 43-35. The following eight games including some of the foremost teams of the state were won by Fairmont, both on the home front and one of the most successful road trips West Side has ever had. Fairview cut the eight- game-winning streak in two by a score of 50-42. In their second encounter with the Eastsiders the Bears dubbed them by a 50-30 score. Fairmont ended the regluar season beating the Weirton Red Riders for the second time 51-43 in a beautifully played encounter. Thus, the Polar Bears finished with a record of fourteen wins and four losses. One of the main reasons for the Dawson men's Suc- cessful season was the excellent man-to-man de- fense. The team may have lacked the polish and finesse of last year's State Championship club, but at times their defense and scrap looked to be a lot better. In the first game of tournament competition, the Bruins walloped Monongah 86-33. Led by Ceorge Calich, the only holdover from last yearis State Champs, and Don Shotts, a speedy and scrappy forward, the Bears easily overcame the Lion Quin- tet. The first encounter in the regional with Mor- gantown proved to be a lot rougher with the Daw- sonmen after fighting to a standstill most of the game, coming out on top by fourteen points with a score of 49-35. The defending Champs fought their way to represent Region III at Morgantown in the State Meet by breezing over the Morgantown Hill- toppers, 53-35. Again Calich and Shotts led the attack getting much help from John Dzielski and joe Papetti. The defense, as in most of the previ- ous games, was an important factor in the victory. The Polar Bears were considered to be a dark horse at Morgantown, only to be knocked off by a tall Elkins team, 46-45, in a tough game to lose, but a sweet one to win. The scrappy Fairmonters led by three points going into the last period, but their lead diminished as the clock ticked away and was tied 45 all with 33 seconds left. At this point in the game, an Elkins sub sank a free throw to put the Tigers out on top. With the three minute rule in effect, Elkins was able to freeze the ball. The Bears finally recovered the ball too late to help the cause. Ceorge Calich, Ioe Papetti, Dick Wag- ner, and john Dzielski played an excellent floor game, both offensively and defensively, while Shotts led the scoring. Elkins in turn defeated Stonewall Jackson and was beaten in the finals by Wheeling, the 1950 Champs. Although the F airmonters did not come home with the crown, Fairmont did not lose everything. The cheerleaders, band and majorettes led the fans to the best cheering section in the tournament. Much credit is due the band director, Mr. McCon- nell. Also Don Shotts was elected to a position on the All-Toumament team, and with Ceorge Calich was selected on the All-State team.
