In 1929 our school was honored to become Troup II, sec- ond in the society. The organization has since expanded to high schools all over the country.

MAJORETTES The majorettes add a special kind of sparkle to our band at the foot- ball games and their routines have won them several awards and hon- ors. They must practice long hours, many times on cold mornings, but the effort is well worth it, as any boy will tell you. Our majorettes are an integral part of our school ac- tivities and it would be a slow half- time without them.

East-West Gome THE GAMES Fairmont—6 Farmington—0 Fairmont opened its football season with a win over county rival Farmington this year. The Bear offense was held to only one touchdown by the Farmers. This came in the first period. The stalwart defense of Farm- ington kept the mighty Bears scoreless for the rest of the contest. The lone TD of the ball game was scored by half- back Rich Julian. Farmington, in Fairmont territory most of the evening, was stopped by end John Schroeder and halfback Paul Wilt at the 2 yard line. The fabulous record continued as the Polar Bears won their 24th in o row. The last game lost was in 1956. Fairmont—19 Morgantown—14 Fairmont kept its loss column unblemished in its win over mighty Morgantown. The Mohigans held the lead in the contest until late in the fourth quarter. The Bears needed only six plays to score their first two touchdowns. The first TD was set up when Morgantown decided to run on a fourth and one. The ploy was stalled by standout linebacker Chuck Welty. Three plays later, after long gains by halfback Herschel Harold, and fullback Jim Wasarovich, the burly full- back burst into the end zone for a touchdown. For its next Two scores, the Bears went to the air. The first was a Corlone to Brown pass which clicked across the G line. Then a Morgantown fumble, re- covered by guard Jerry Sabo, set up the final score. With less than 4 minutes left, quarterback Carlone rifled a pass to end Floyd Woods who made the catch in the end zone. The victory had its price for West, which lost end John Schroeder for five games. The vet- eran end soon mended his paw, however, and returned to action. Fairmont—31 Shinnston—12 Another win another loss, the Polar Bears won the Wasarovich scores for West . . . contest, but they lost the services of guard-linebacker Chuck Welty. Chuck left the ball gome in the first half with a broken leg. Fairmont trailed by 12-6 at the half, but the highly spirited team roared back into the contest in the sec- ond half and took the lead for good. Wasarovich was the big gun for West in the contest, scoring two touch- downs and gaining many a yard. The final score came on a 30 yard Carlone to Brown pass with very little time left on the clock. Fairmont—26 Grafton—14 For the second yeor in a row, the Polar Bears went to Grafton and defeated the Bearcats 26-14. Grafton jumped off to a quick 14-0 lead in the first quarter. The slow storting Bears finally got their offense rolling and that was it for Grafton. Both Bearcat tallys were scored by halfback Terry Keener. The first tally for Fairmont was scored by fullback Jim Wasarovich os he burst into the end zone from the six yard line. After Grofton's second tolly the Bears didn't waste much time in scoring again. This time the drive ended with a two yord plunge by quar- terback Carlone. The third tally came on a pass from Carlone to end Woods. At the end of the half West held the lead 19-14. The fourth touchdown was quite a spectacle. Carlone threw a pitchout over the head of halfback Harold. Finding that he was behind o solid wall of Bearcats, Harold reversed his path and scamp- ered his way to the 19 for a very good gain. Three plays later Herschel crossed the G line. Fairmont—13 Victory—14 The Victory Eagles ended Fairmont's fabulous win- ning streak in a 14-13 squeoker as the mighty Bears suffered their first defeat since October in 1956. The Bears and the Eagles were even in the touch- down department. The failure come when the Bears missed the extra point. West's touchdowns were scored by Wasarovich and Harold. West stops a reverse Fairmont—1 8 Mannington—0 Foirmont West scored the first time it hod the boll os it honded county rival Monnington o neat defeat. The 65 yard march was climaxed on o six yard gain by quarterback Joe Carlone. The remainder of the first half was a defensive bottle as a West drive stalled on the Big Green 12 The second half saw no score till the fourth period when Jim Wasarovich climaxed a 40 yard pass and run drive with a touchdown. The last TD was set up with an old reliable Carlone to Schroeder pass. This was the last gome in the series, os the Polar Bears will play triple A power Buchannon next year. Fairmont—7 Elkins—14 Fairmont West lost its second game of the year to the Elkins Tigers in a much disputed contest. The Bears and Tigers have always hod thrilling contests, and in the long series the Tigers have proved a very worthy opponent. The lone Polar Bear touchdown was scored on a 3 yard plunge by halfback Herschel Harold. The dispute came on a long pass which was good for o touchdown. It was colled back because of on official's error. Fairmont—6 Washington Irving—13 The Polar Bears suffered their third loss of the year at the hands of Big Ten Champs W-l. The Bears did not go down easy. There was an all out effort on the part of the entire team, but the superior effort failed to stop the Hilltopper attack. Special recognition is due to linebacker Sam Poster and guard Not Terry. These two stalwarts of the Bear line contained the W-l backfield to the best of their ability. Special recognition is also due to ends Matt Yelcich and Kurt Runde. Also backfield plowhorse Rich Julian is worthy of much praise. The Polar Bears scored their only tally of the night in the fourth frame. The score come on a 21 yard Carlone to Julian poss play. Fairmont—20 Moundsville—18 The Polar Beors sparked by the passing of quorter- back Joe Carlone and the bullike rushes of fullback Jim Wosarovich upset 5th ranked Moundsville in a muds- ville slaughter. The Bears scored all of their points in the final period as they staged the greatest comebock of many a year on the local gridiron. Wasarovich scored the first TD of the evening on a slippery one yard slide. The next TD was set up on the interception of Pastilong's pass by halfback Paul Wilt. End John Schroeder then pulled in a pass and scooted 41 yards for the score. The last TD wos set up with on on side kick re- covered by guard Jerry Sabo. Then Wasarovich took over and carried the boll to the 31. An 18 yard pass hit the veteran end Schroeder and he picked up for more yards with a good slide. Four plays later Wasa- rovich threw his 185 pound torso into the end zone for the final score. Fairmont—14 Fairmont East—7 Fairmont West closed out a very successful seoson with a 1 4-7 victory over crosstown rival East this year. It wos the 10th in a row for the Bears. The Work- horse for the Bears was senior fullback Jim Wasaro- vich. Wasarovich carried the ball 31 times in 45 run- ning plays. Big Jim also scored the two West tallys and one extra point. Matt Yelcich intercepted Cov- rich's pass to break the finol East drive. West decided to down the boll rather than run for the almost sure touchdown. The game ended with West on the Eost 20. Hershel Harold carries the ball for Polar Bear gain. +% JH JOHN BROWN JOE CARLONE HERSCHEL HAROLD CLYDE HOPKINS Johnny Moc who ployeo but only in several gomes showed his ability by scor- ing o touchdown on a pass ploy in the great comeback against Moundsville. Joe, o veteran, ployed the key position for the Bears, not only with his greot boll handling, but with his run- ning ability os well. Joe wos also selected on the oil- county team. Mk SAM POSTER KURT RUNDE A first year man, Herschel with his running and block- ing ability, played a major part in the Polar Bears run- ning attock. He ployed his mojor game of the year against Morgontown. Sy ployed his role os cen- ter like a veteran. He wos a good mon to have oround when Coach Kerr hod to moke offensive changes. Sy was also valuable for the morole of the Polar Bears. JOHN SCHROEDER GEORGE SUTTON Sam was used primarily as a linebocker. His ability to play this position gave him a place as one of the defen- sive specialists on the Polar Bear team. Kurt wos a key mon on of- fense and defense teams. His ability to play defense wos an important part in the Bears winning games. An able pass receiver, Kurt did not have much of a chonce to prove it as West stuck to the ground most of the time. John ployed end on both of- fense and defense until he injured his hand in the Mor- gantown game. John's best game wos against Manning- ton. John was also selected on the all-county first string. Doudge was not used much on offense but proved to be o key factor on de- fense. His hard hitting and blocking helped the Polar Bears during the campaign. SENIOR PROFILES 96 r SENIOR PROFILES JIM WASAROVICH Jim played a major part in the Polar Bears' run- ning attack. With his great power he gave the Bears that lost inch that was needed. Jim was giv- en several college offers. He was also selected on the all-county first team. CHUCK WELTY Chuck was an important man on the Bears offen- sive and defensive teams. He suffered a broken leg in the Shinnston game. Chuck's great hard hitting power was missed by the Polar Bears. JOHN WOOD John, who suffered an injured leg in the middle of the season, was used as an important man on the line of the offensive team until his injury. MATT YELCICH Macky was the work- horse of the Polar Bear line. He played offense and defense both. His outstanding defensive ability contributed great- ly to our great season. He was also selected on the first team of the all- county squad. SENIORS POSE FOR LAST GROUP SHOT .
