Lyceum, Ex-Pres. Lyceum, Graduate Car- lisle Pa., H. S. ' 08, Y. M. C. A. Athletic Association. He is a fine young man with irreproachable hair and neat appearance. A favorite with Miss Hastings according to Enfield ' s story. He could do much better work in his classes if he were not so occupied in his fatherly care of his more shady and irregular classmates. And, my, but he has nice hair, the beauty of which is enhanced by tasteful arrangement and incessant care. JENNIE L. HARSHBARGER, Anderson, W, Va. Ex-Pres. Y. W. C. A., Ex-Sec. M. L. S., Sec. Shakespeare Club, Mozart. Jennie was discovered by Dr. Bennett and promptly shipped to Fairmont State Nor- mal School as the only living specimen of her kind. Since her arrival here her greatest de- light has been working for the advancement of the Y. W. C. A. EMILY ELIZABETH MOON, Morgantown, W. Va. Morgantown High School ' 0 8. To those knowing Miss Moon she is a bright and constant sphere that makes earth ' s commonest things appear poetic, romantic and tender, hanging with jewels a cabbage stump, and investing a common post or a pump, a currant bush or a gooseberry clump with a halo of dream-like splendor. N. ELIZABETH DAVIS Fairmont, W. Va. Mozart, Y. W. C. A., Athletic Association, Y. D ' s., L. T. C. Elizabeth is characterized by her love for the languages; especially the one without words. She has never fallen in love, although she has strong tendencies in that direction. With her cheerful disposition she scatters sunshine wherever she goes and it is needless to say that it leaves its impression. 23 NELLIE BYARD, Cameron, W. Va. Cameron H. S. ' 07, Athletic Association, Tennis. This winsome damsel is referred to by Mil- ton. He says of her: Bright eyes rain in- fluence, etc. Miss Byard at one time aspired to the position of assistant manager of the Dormitory. Failing in this attempt, she has not yet made up her mind, as to what her next move will be. Perhaps it may be to get on the Lea (man) ward side. MARY NUZUM, Fairmont, W. Va. Lyceum, Sec. B ' s., Fairmont H. S. ' 0 9. This demure maiden whose face perpetually expresses childish delight except when mo- mentarily crossed by a summer shower very early attained an infantile reputation. She is the youngest sweet innocent of the class. 24 BERYL MORGAN, Fairmont, W. Va. Mozart, Mannington H. S. ' 09. This high sounding name is derived as fol- lows: Mo-mos the Latin, custom, rg — the Welsh, rg or rig, an — the English article. The name therefore signifies a person who is in the habit of getting rigged which no doubt accounts for Miss Morgan blushing so often. She is noted for her taste, acute perception, and ready discrimination in literary criticism. MARY VAN DEVENDER, Spencer, W. Va. Mozart, Athletic Association, Girl ' s B. B., Editorial Board Bulletin, V. Pres. Owls., B ' s. Mary combines a wide variety of talent. She succeeds equally well in all things she undertakes. As a basket ball player she is hard to beat, as a writer for the Bulletin few are her equal, and as one capable of giving advice to school teachers no one dares hope to excell her. For further information call on the charming young lady herself. 25 JANIE ROBERTA YOST, Fairmont, W. Va. Mozart. Blessed is the man that invented sleep. So says Miss Yost in the Methods class. Every day at 2:45 she turns her head to one side, completely covering her face with a huge black hat, and sleeps peacefully through the recitation. Janie has no fear for her future success in life as she is saving all her energy. GOLDIA BAKER, Fairmont, W. Va. Mozart, Mannington H. S. ' 0 9. Goldia is a perfect woman nobly planned, she warns, comforts and commands. The girls at the Dormitory think of her as a spirit still and bright; with something of an angelic- light. 26 IDA AGNES ORR, Wallace, W. Va. Harrison County Croup, Y. M. C. A., Chair- man Devotional Committee, Owls, B ' s., Athletic Association, Shakespeare Club. As a student that has added luster to the Fairmont State Normal School during 19 9- 1910, Miss Orr, who comes from Wallace, W. Va., is chief. She presents an array of talent and scholarship upon which any school might look with pride. MARTHA BROWN, Fairmont, W. Va. Fairmont H. S., ' 0 8. Martha is a very studious girl and con- templates training the young Americans. She was always of a very timid nature, but her classmates hope that in the near future she may overcome this. Brown is her name, single is her station, happy will be the man who make the alteration. 27 072 ELSIE DALE LITTLE, Watson, W. Va. Mozart, Classical Club. I am for woman ' s rights. This senti- ment is voiced by Elsie, a loyal and energetic student of the F. S. N. S. Whether Miss Little thinks every woman should have a vote or should have a voter is a matter for discus- sion. However, she spends most of her time gazing at the leaning Tower of Pisa. If you don ' t understand ask some one in Prof. Roger ' s Chemistry class. Pres. ERNEST EVERETT KNIGHT, Jane Lew, W. Va. Mozart, Chairman Mid-day prayer ser- vice, Y. M. C. A. Ernest is one of a group of men of whom their countrymen should be proud — Bene- dicts. A few years ago Mr. Knight was suc- cessful in persuading a charming lady to mar- ry him for better or for worse. He is a thorough student, especially well liked by Prof. Rogers and Miss Hastings. 28 FRED L. LEMLEY, Burton, W. Va. Mozart. What an ideal type of manhood, how well versed in. knowledge! He is quite a dreamer and spends most of his time looking dream- ily into the future, and who knows what he sees? Perhaps himself addressing a large audience who proclaim him as far surpassing Cicero. Those of us who know Mr. Lemley know that he knows a Little. LEONA MABEL MARTIN, Morgantown, W. Va. Mozart, Morgantown H. S. ' 0 9. Leona, the effervescent, would not be found wanting in any sphere of life, particularly not if weighed in the balances. Her favorite study is Economics. Under Miss Abbott ' s motherly guidance she has acquired a great propen- sity, for reading in the Library. 20 ELLEN MAE LAYMAN, Fairmont, W. Va. Lyceum- Ellen, by some called Irish, was born in view of the Normal, and has devoted all her days to the pursuit of wisdom. Her fun- loving disposition has never yet gotten her into trouble, but at times we tremble lest the poor dear be caught. Ask her why she puts on Ayers. VKKXK II ALL, Davis, W. Va. Davis H. S. ' 09, Doorkeeper Mozart, Bible Study Club, Y. M. C. A., Athletic Asso- ciation, Senior B. B., Track Team. Verne is a blithe chap with an uncontroll- able propensity for early rising in the morn- ing. As an athlete he is hard to beat. It is skill not strength that counts, you know. He ' s in the game from first to last, and no one elsoi can play so fast. 30 MARY ESTELLE FRAZIER, ■Newbiirg, W. Va. Lyceum, Y. W. C. A., ex-Secretary Lyceum, Secretary Preston County Group, Vice President Y. W. C. A. Mary is one of those girls you read about, but seldom meet. She has brains, and her heart is in the right place, being situated im- mediately under her fifth rib. Her readiness to aid anyone in need of assistance, her af- f ible manners and winning smile have won for her a well deserved reputation. MABEL GILLIAN RICHARDS, Fairmont, W. Va. Fairmont H. S. ' 06, Lyceum, High School Club. Mark when she smiles with amiable cheer. And tell me whereto you can liken it. She is noted for her dignity and firm- ness of purpose. She is one of the suffering few who have chosen to be school teachers all their days. Inasmuch as Mable is reward- ed with success in every task she pursues, we feel assured that sometime in the future we shall be proud to recognize in her one of the world famed instructors. 31 Lyceum, Y. DAISY HALL, Philippi, W. Va. W. C. A., Treasurer Barbour County Group. Daisy is a great girl in many ways. She was raised on Mellin ' s Food and eats prunes every morning for breakfast. She thinks women need not despair to fly, and is trying to be real good in order to grow a pair of wings. ADA GRACE PARRISH, Mannington, W. Va. Mannington H. S. ' 09. Her modesty and reticence have, until lately, kept Ada Back. But once having dis- covered her talents she has come to the front. Since she has begun taking an active part in social affairs we no longer fear that she will be left on her papa ' s hands. 32 J. L. CONAWAY, Barrackville, W. Va. Lyceum, Manager Base Ball 1910, H. R., Ath- letic Association, Director of Pearl Club, Vice President Senior Class, Editor Bulletin. Lawrence arrived in these parts several years ago. It is supposed that he walked here in a somnambulistic state, for he has been somnambulating ever since. He has ten wives in Utah, and it seems that his stay in the F. S. N. S. will not prove futile. ENOLA WAGNER, Grafton, W. Va. Grafton H. S., Lyceum, Girls ' B. B., Athletic Association, Secretary Senior Class, Edi- torial Board Mound. Enola is a modest young lady whose chief occupation when not busy in the Training De- partment is talking. She is dignified and scholarly and was never known to be ratt led in recitation. She is a base ball fan of the first degree. She never misses a game. Her presence in the grand stand lends courage to the team, and her advice in baseball, as well as in other matters, is often sought by the base ball manager. 33 FAIRMONT LIBRARY ESTA DEE CROWL, Fairmont, W. Va. Fairmont H. S. ' 0 9, Mozart, B ' s. Esta is one of the few good little girls in her class. Her career at the Normal has been above reproach. Esta was never known to laugh during a recitation (?). Her locks are not more sunny than her disposition, and her name not more full of mirth than her laughter. There ' s nothing ill can dwell in such a temple. GEORGIE FAY MOSTELLER, Mannington, W. Va. Mozart, Owls, Y. D ' s., Athletic Association, Tennis. Fay has many ardent suitors, but none of them suit ' er. She holds them off in haughty disdain. Her favorite study is chemistry, in which she made such progress that the doc- tor advised that she be taken out of school lest she overstiulv. 3+ ELECTA HANNA, Wilsonburg, W. Va. Mozart, Graduate Broaddus Institute, Teach- er in Shinnston Public School two years. Miss Hanna is a shy modest maiden who never disturbs anyone ' s equilibrium, never ex- presses her opinion on any question however important. Her still and quiet attitude, how- ever, brings results, as Miss Heck daily smiles on her excellent work in the training depart- ment. LULU MAE SYKES, New Martinsville, W. Va. M. H. S. ' 0 6, Lyceum Society, Y. W. C. A. Lulu created her first disturbance in the early part of the eighties, and has been keep- ing things moving ever since. Her jovial laugh may be heard from early morn till late at night. Her sunny disposition will aid her in her school work and in after life make some gflre-side cheerful. 35 JOHN MILFORD TOOTHMAN, Farmington, W. Va. Mozart, Athletic Association, Football Team ' 08, Senior B. B., H. R., Ex-President Student Body. This product of Marion County came to this institution of learning with nothing to recommend him but his own self-evident abil- ity. He has farmed, taught scchool, worked in a prune factory, and done the people. The marvel is how he has done so much in his short existence. The future will no doubt find him famous. His favorite pastime, and he is mighty successful, is doing the Faculty. MARY EMMA BOOHER, Moundsville, W. Va. Moundsville H. S. ' 09, Mozart, Shakespeare Club, Y. W. C. A. Mary ' s home is in the Dormitory, but her heart is in Pittsburg. She asked us not to tell this, but it is too hard to keep. Mary believes in going to all the spreads, staying as long as you can, and eating as much as you can. The way to Mary ' s heart is through her stomach. 36 ETHEL VERA HALL, Davis, W. Va. Mozart, Davis H. S. ' 09, Shakespeare Club, Y. W. C. A. Vera, like Portia, is noted for her suitors. She is often heard to exclaim: I like all of them part of the time ,but could like one of them all the time. Be careful, boys, she is like a honey bee. LEOLA ETHEL GASKINS, Fairmont, W. Va. Lyceum, Ex-Secretary Lyceum. Ethel is a glib garrulous girl given to gay gamboling. When she sings all the little birds are seen to put their claws in their ears and listen. She thinks it is possible for her to succeed Patti. GRACE GERTRUDE ROBINSON, Fairmont. W. Va. Lyceum, Treasurer Senior Class. Grace has the distinction of being the smallest member in the class. Her position in the Senior Class, however, is large accord- ing as her s ature is small, for she is treasurer which is a very difficult and weighty position. Grace ' s hobby is the study of the Modern Lar.gii iges. She expects to spend the coming summer travelling in Europe. RUTH MERRIFIELD, Fairmont, W. Va. Lyceum, Omicron, Editorial Board the Mound Ruth is noted for her colloquial powers and attractive personality. She came over with the Pilgrim Fathers. Guides will show visitors the spot where she landed on Ply- mouth Rock. Some historians think she hasn ' t landed yet, but is on her way over. She is one of the favored few who can recite without studying. Her favorite character is the Artful Dodger of Dickens. She expects to teach school in the Philippines. 38 MARTHA DUNCAN, Fairmont, W. Va. Mozart, B ' s., Fairmont H. S. ' 09. Martha made her debut upon this terres- tial sphere a few short years ago. She has received all her extensive education in the public and Normal schools of this city. Martha has never believed in hard work; she thinks it injurious to health. She seldom bestows her affections on anyone, but is true as steel to the favorite few. CHARLES McCUSKEY, McMechen, W. Va. Mozart, Omicron, H. R ' s., Football, B. B., Track Team. Chas. is noted for sticktuitiveness. This brave young Spartan has tried to stick to too many things this year, consequently he daily chants through the Normal Hall for the other boys ' benefit. It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Cheer up, Charles, all things come to those who wait. 39 ANNA F. McGARVEY, Mannington, W. Va. Mozart, Mannington H. S. ' 09, Shakespeare Club, Athletic Association, Editorial Board the Mound. Anna is an ambitious girl whose one aim (to quote Matthew Arnold) is to see life steadily and see it whole. Her watch words are culture, learning, and discipline. She is at present gathering material for a book to be entitled The Love Letters of a School- girl. She is easily flattered but be careful, boys. LILLIAN BELLE KEMPER, Freemansburg, W. Va. Mozart, Y. W. C. A., Athletic Association. A few years ago there was great commotion in Weston, over the escape of one of the in- mates of the asylum. A hurried call was sent out for the Landis bloodhounds, and after many days of wearisome search Miss Kemper was located at the P. S. N. S. She has proved sane on all occasions, except when Chuck Reed called at the Dormitory. At this time she showed signs of fear, and took refuge in her little room. 40 ETHEL ROGERSON, . Mannington, W. Va. Mozart, Y. W. C. A., Athletic Association, Mannington H. S. ' 0 9. He that chooses me must give and hazard all he has . It is doubted whether any other girl in Fairmont is as changeable as she, but poor dear she will some day learn to be more stable. However, she is very popular and spends most of her time flirting with the boys. She says school teaching is her chosen pro- fession, but we belie ve she will soon be ab- sorbed in domestic science. MARTIE E. KECK, Amos, W. Va. Mozart, Y. W. C. A., Athletic Association, Girl ' s B. B., Tennis, Shakespeare Club. Martie, one of the survivors of the John- stown flood, came to the Fairmont State Nor- mal School in the Year of our Lord one thou- sand nine hundred and six. Miss Keck at- tacked our course of study with courage equal to the immortal six hundred. Here she has great and ample opportunity to cultivate her deep appreciation of the beautiful. 41 GERTRUDE FRANCES ROBINSON, Lumberport, W. Va. Mozart, Owls, Shakespeare Club. Her diligence and perseverance have made her a worthy member of the Senior Class. We must say that despite the fact that through- out her Normal career the sterner sex has monopolized most of her time Still the wonder grew that one small head carried all she knew. MARY B. POWELL, Fairmont, W. Va. Mozart, Ex-Secretary Y. W. C. A. vania Dutch Club. Pennsvl- Mary, why that pensive brow? What dis- gust of life hast thou? Change that dis- contented air, frowns become not one so fair. Mary is one of the select few that came to us in the year ' 09. Exclusive of her ambition to become a Coogle ' s wife, her propensities seem to lie along the line of teaching and painting. She may not be disappointed in any of her expectations. 42 MARIA ANNA GIST, Wellsburg, W. Va. Mozart, Morgantown Prep. School, Y.W.O.A., Athletic Association, Girls ' B. B. Among those that have shaken the sides of the students of the Fairmont State Normal School with genuine wit and humor our Miss Gist must be numbered. She is in the Ashing business, but every day she draws in an empty net on account of her successful rival, Miss Willa Rowan. EUNICE BYER, Fairmont, W. Va. Lyceum, Y. W. C. A. This quiet little Dutch maid came early in life to this part of the country from Pa. She was regarded as a rare child by her mother, and one who was expected to shine in any dark corner. If she keeps up to her present stmdard her mother ' s fondest desires will be realized. Since her arrival at the F. S. N. S. she has proved herself equal to the situation on all occasions. 43 LYDA ARTHUR STARK, Bridgeport, W. Va. Mozart, Shakespeare Club, Y. M. C. A., Ex- Vice President Student Body, Athletic Association, Senior B. B., Manager Tennis Court, Superintendent Dormitory. Lyda is neither brilliant nor stupid; above all he is not artistic. No. he doesn ' t see much in art, but he does see whit good hard com- mon sense dictates. He has executive ability too, as has been shown in his management of the Dormitory. To sum it all up, Stark is sober, honest, straight-fGrward, farsighted, a mighty fine fellow, and one always to be re- lied upon. - WILLIAM G. FOUNDS, Hannibal, Ohio. Lyceum, Football, Athletic Association, H. R ' s., Assistant Business Manager the Mound. Billie has them all skinned in practicing what he preaches. While rather small of stature he has a profund sense of humor, and is often seized with uncontrollable laughter. He is one of the original sailors of Cap ' n. Kidd ' s crew, and has had his leg bit off by a shark dozens of times, not to speak of the numerous times he has been hung when captured. AGNES BERNADETTE ERWIN, Fairmont, W. Va. Mozart, Fairmont H. S. ' 09. Agnes first began to tilk in the early ninties, and has made rapid progress in that direction ever since. If when called upon to recite she does not know what to say on the subject she chooses a topic on which she can talk fuenMy. Her meek disposition is indi- cated by the sheep bell on her arm. IDA BELLE NUZUM, Bridgeport, W. Va. Mozart, Y. W. C. A., Classical Club. Ida first began to torment her parents on a May day in 1800 ( ?). She received her early education in the public schools of Harrison County. After playing the role of school-marm for several years Ida made her presence felt in Fairmont. Although of a somewhat shy and retiring disposition, her affections when once aroused are measureable only by the Metric system. With someone to take her part she will train our country ' s youths and cause the young idea to start. 45 EDWIN V. RICHARDSON, Shinnston. W. Va. Mozart, Treasurer Harrison County Associa- tion, Athletic Association, Senior B. B., Football. Oh, what a noble countenance of thought and emotion. His brain is said to have the capacity of five hundred horse power, and to be twenty-three inches in diameter. It has been suggested that he be named as Miss Ridgley ' s successor in the Art Department of the F. S. N. S. N. GUY MATTHEW, Halleck, W. Va. Mgr. Lecture Course 1910, Ex-Pres. Mozart, Sec. Y. M. C. A., Athletic Ass., Tennis, Mgr. Dormitory 1909, Mgr. B. N., Yell Master, Known for Chapel Announcements, Monon- galia County Club, Bus. Mgr. Mound. This giant and prodigy of strength was im- ported some years ago at a great expense from Monongalia County. If he would raise his head and straighten out his legs he would be at least seven feet tall. If he stood on a two foot stool he would then be nine feet high if his awkwardness did not make him fall off. Guy is a mighty great man in many ways. There are few offices in the student body which he has not filled. Hi HOMER CLINTON TOOTHMAN, Manning-ton, W. Va. Mozart, Pres. Senior Class, Base Ball ' 07- ' 08- ' 09- ' 10, Cap.

Homer, who is said to be the finest fellow in school, hails from over the briny deep. He does a regular land office business in funeral orations. He maintains single handed the dignity of the Senior Class ( ? ) . He is by far the best athlete in school and has been our mainstay in athletics for lo, these many years. It is rumored that he will fill the place of Wagner with the Pittsburg Nationals next year. He is a descendant of Louis, the Pious, and has certainly descended a Whole lot. BOYD HAMILTON REED, Boothville, W. Va. Mozart, Vice President Athletic Association, H. R ' s., Omicron, Manager Baseball ' 09. B. Hemmie Chuck, known to fame and other companions simply as Chuck , hails from Boothsville. He is the youngest son of his father, tall, slim, sleek and slender (?). From his jangle he is supposed to be a Dago and to have bluffed his way into this country. Chuck doesn ' t believe much in books and for this reason his recitations are all original. He is in training for the stage — the last stage. His talents are too numerous to mention, and he himself has trouble in finding out what they all are. He is modest, shy, and retiring (late) never being in society more than eight nights out of a week. His cadaverous condi- tion arises from love-sickness. 47 ERNEST ROY BELL, Fairmont, W. Va. Fairmont H. S. ' 0 8, Athletic Association, Football, B. B., Baseball. Ernest, sometimes called Marmonides II., is the original wandering Jew, whose experience of two milleniums would certainly be defec- tive without a stay in the Fairmont State Nor- mal. He is tall and slim, rather a prolonged eclipse in shape. He has divided his long stay on earth between two continents, but the superior attractions of Fairmont will doubt- less keep him here the rest of his time. ORAL J. JONES, Grafton, W. Va. Mozart, Y. M. C. A., President Student Body ' 08, President Mozart Spring ' 09 Fall ' 10, Assistant Editor the Mound. Oral Jones, the original old John Jones, is popularly called Jonie for short. While he is a pure West Virginian his show me at- titude might well lead one to believe that he is just fresh from the Missourian jungles. His farsightedness and good judgment have won for him a place among our few standpatters who are ever willing to contribute toward a square deal. 48 HARRIET MARTIN, Shimiston, W. Va. Shakespeare Club. Harriet began her career at the Normal in the summer of ' 0 9, and has been doing excel- lent work ever since. Her strongest point is her weakness for the sterner sex. Harriet ' s horoscope fortells married bliss. COCOA VANNOY, Harrisville, W. Va. Mozart, Y. W. C. A., Student of Centerville H. S. Iowa ' 06 and ' 07, Student of Lama, Iowa, H. S. ' OS and ' 09. Cocoa comes from the city of Peth where one lives and two starve to death. She is young in years, but wise in judgment. In recitation she always proceeds with a very even tone. To ruffle her equanimity would be a calamity unutterable. She tells us that teaching is her v ?sen vocation. 49 ROSE KENNEDY, Fairmont, W. Va. IDA SHANNON, West Union, W. Va. Mozart. Ida, better known to her friends as Tom, is a product of Doddridge County. She spends the greater part of her time studiously de- vouring the notes which she has taken in Miss Protzman ' s music class. Of course such in- dustry is always rewarded for she gets A ' s on her music tests (?). She also spends con- siderable time in walking and taking violent exercise in order to reduce her flesh. She is noted for her bravery, for it is known posi- tively that she made a trip to the Fleming graveyard after dark. She was not frightened but felt homesick. Mozart, B ' Fairmont H. S. ' 0 8. Rose has a host of admirers inside and out- side of school. She is quite an humorist, and often makes very facetious remarks of cur- rent interest. One of these remarks is sup- posed to have caused the meat boycott. With- out a doubt she longingly and lovingly looks at the Rays. 50 CALLIE C. NUZUM, Clarksburg, W. Va. Mozart, Clarksburg H. S. ' 07, Athletic Ass., Tennis, Editorial Board the Mound. Callie arrived in these parts during the summer of 1909. She entered upon her studies in the training department with a great deal of zest, and the result is that she has become quite an important personage in the said department. She is an artist of con- siderable note. No doubt she will become a noted pen artist since she monopolizes most of Mr. Lee ' s spare time. JOANNA WALLMAN, Fairmont, W. Va. Mozart, B ' s. Joanna, familiarly known as Jo first saw the light of this world in Cumberland, Md. She is the dear chum of Rose Kennedy. They are sometimes compared to David and Jo- nathan of old. She is particularity interested in electricity and her great ambition is to be- come a school marm . 51 BLANCHE CHALPANT, Shinnston, W. Va. Mozart, Shakespeare Club, Athletic Ass., Girls ' B. B. Team, Tennis, Editorial Board the Mound. Blanche, who has very pronounced views concerning matrimony, is a lassie of a loving and tender age. Her chief bug-bear is Latin VI. and when not employed in the art de- partment of the training school she spends the greater part of her time poring over the seventeenth chapter of Caesar ' s Gallic War, which is a very simple and child-like narra- tive of bridge-building. HARRY BROOKE, Bridgeport, W. Va. Mozart, Omicron Psi Epsilon, H. R ' s., Har- rison Co. Organization, Athletic Ass., Football ' 08 and ' 09, Editor the Mound. His favorite name is Ikey. He contemplates entering the ministry???- Undoubtedly he would be popular at the sewing circle. He has a beautiful bass voice for which Miss Protzman is very thankful. He cultivates his voice with care and a harrow which ac- counts for its flesh creeping tones. He is usually seen in company with Chuck Reed, and for this reason they are familiarity al- luded to as the goldust twins . SENIOR CLASS HISTORY ELL, we ' ve taken ourselves seriously, and at times, not many to be sure, we have had glimpses of ourselves as we really are; but L fear we shall not he able to determine our exact de- gree of importance for many years to come; and maybe, some day (who knows!), after many un- successful attempts to satisfy ourselves about our worth-while-ness, we shall know for sure that we can be useful. But, be that as it may, we know this of a cer- tainty that the majority of us have spent a most interesting ' four years in this school. Of course, we came up from the ranks; we had our little squabbles about things in general that were not important; we got sore at each other; we knocked the faculty, we kicked the president; we growled, grumbled and grouched one day only to forget it the next. But with all our troubles, real and imaginary, we ' ve had a fine time. In fact, I feel sure that ours is the most docile and harmonious senior class that this school has developed in the last half dozen years. You may probably say, dear reader, that we have been indifferent, that we have not stood up for our rights, that we have been too easily influenced, one by another. I do not believe this has been true. Ho often in these years of oar lives we let our sense of importance disobey our better judgment. I won- der after all, and I think you will agree with me, whether decided opinions and quick conclusions are an indication of the development of those maturer qualities that belong to a man as we Americans understand that term. But here we are getting serious again; we are taking ourselves seriously when we ought to be get- ting a glimpse of ourselves as we really are; or, better still, as we really have been in the past four years. I suppose our greatest trial has been what is commonly known as the training department with that indomitable will at the head of it, reinforced by another indomitable will which has many quali- ties in common with the first named indomitable will. Well, these two indomitable wills willed that we should, if necessary, do three periods work in the said training department and get credit for one. We revolted at first, we proved to our own satisfac- tion that the said wills had no authority to change the course of study, but in spite of our anger, they cheerfully smiled and said, Get Busy! So we sort of got in the habit of doing it and now, to save our lives, we cannot tell whether we like it or not. Such is life in a normal school, and 1 suppose we will have similar experiences later. But in the midst of all our troubles we have felt the unspoken sympathy of our molecule man. If you do not know him, look him up — it will help your digestion. If he didn ' t know an atom from an atomizer, he would still be invaluable to all senior 53 classes because lie never worries, he never knocks, and — would yon believe it? — we never knew him to lose his temper. We mention him because it is with such help ;is he has given that we have been able t keep sweet through it all. On the other hand, we have had many real joys that more than compensated us for all our troubles. We have worked for our school, for our societies, and in our various organizations, religious and otherwise, and it has keen to us a very real pleasure. Of course, we have gotten much from our books and teachers — all that is implied. We have had a num- ber of social events which have been enjoyable, in- deed; and we have had some most exciting times in connection with our athletics. I might go on indefinitely in this way but it would be merely a repetition in a little different way of the thing already suggested. It need only be said further that our happiest days have been spent in this dear old school and that leaving her with the many associations dear to us, will he one of the saddest events of our lives.

It ' s noted for its brightness, It ' s noted for its work ; Especially in Geometry Of which we dare not shirk. We take our place in Chapel, Which no one dares to cut; We are tempted though, quite often, When we see the door is shut. We trip down stairs so lightly At. a very lively gate; We hear a call, well known to all, And know what is our fate. The Freshies and the Sophies Are making strides our way, We should set a good example. For they ' ll take our place some day. The posters that were thrown around, The Freshies did not like; After they were read by every one, They soon were out of sight. It. was only an initiation Which each class has to bear: 111 feelings now have passed away. And all is bright and fair. Sixty-five Seniors will leave us this year, Some will laugh — some shed a tear; Some will get married, and some will be teachers, But very few in the class, I think, will be preachers. We are sorry to lose the Seniors, Yet glad to see them go; When you come to commencement next year, We ' ll be in the very front row. HAZEL A. HOLT, Class 1911 ' 58 JUNIOR HISTORY When commencement day is over, And our many, this year, grads, Saunter out to practice teachin, ' ' Waggin knowledge by the scads; Juniors then will he called Seniors, Sophomores will be made to know, That to reach the goal before them, They will have to grow and grow. It is not the intention of the historian to give an extended account of the accomplishments of the class of ' 11. The many things which have transpired during the past year are too valuable to donate gratuously to the public. So you must be contented with a few minor points, which we think will enable you to judge of their remarkable greatness. ' Darwin ' s theory of the evolution of man, only illustrates the wonderful changes that have been undergone by a great many of the present class. It certainly shows material of the highest type, when in two years time, or less, people can be changed from typical Freshmen into modest and level headed Junior, recognized as leaders, and as the ones who have had a marked influence in helping to raise the standards of the school to the bight plane upon which they now securely rest. From Fresbie green, bay-seedy back, And greedy howling Sophomore pack, The Junior standeth free; Leaving his outgrown shell, By -life ' s unresting sea. If history were made only by the clash of arms and bloody conflicts, we would be compelled to say that this class is without an extensive history. For neither Gettysburg ' s nor Waterloos have been their greatest deeds. But on the contrary, realizing that in these days of progress the world is chifly inter- ested in the man who moves it, and likewise a school in the class that leads it, they have ever been quietly searching for truths, which they have so successfully put into practice that at present they stand alone, towering above the clamoring ' masses. Not as mighty giants, with swords and shackles in hand, but as real living light-houses sending forth their radiant beams to guide the restless throng safely past the dangerous shoal, into the harbor of intellectual attainment. Athletic honors we now must divide, And send a large portion to some Junior ' s side; In foot-ball, basket-hall, base-ball too, ' Twas usually some Junior that pulled the team through. In various offices dignified high, Twould only take space to puff them to the sky; As presidents, treasurers, ' tis now the rule, That they furnish more than the rest of the school. And likewise Tn class work, they never take a back seat. But can with the best of them always compete; And now ' tis expected to hear teachers say, ' Twas one of those Juniors that got the big A. Their unbound success is well illustrated in the following sagacious words recently spoken by the faculty, who said: Blessed are the Juniors, who earnestly and persistently try to reach the highest ideals held before them by us; for they shall receive pleasant treatment, high grades, and conscientious feelings of duties well performed. Lives of Juniors all remind us, Seniors, make your lives sublime; Sophomores, Freshmen, they ' ve left for you, Footprints on the sands of time. Clarence B. Lee, Historian. 60 Grover C.

Wayne and Leda, Harry and Grace, Ocie, Ethel and Homer; Then comes Margaret ' s smiling face And Grady says he loves her. We list ourselves as follows, But not as we should rank For Arlie Hatfield and Darrel Kline, Might think that we were cranks. Alice Parker and Harry Scott, Julia Swisher and Glenn, And Clara Wilson next is thot To go with Howard Shinn. Beulah Lake and Hastings, Linn, Josephine, Carl and Myra, Neva Kramer next comes in With Lou and Bessie Byer. Etta Willis and Kate McCool Have an eye on Walter Layman, But Vevia Elliott says they ' re fooled For there ' s Miss Lola Freeman. Jonnie Bock and Kline Koon Are in the line with Amos — Susan comes and joins us soon And then the line is famous. Lyss Knapp is just the candy, When with his Blanchie dear; And John Ford is quite handy When Isis Hutton ' s near. Midget Barns and Hazel Black Line up with Clarence Lee; Who should follow in their tracks But Beulah and Kennedy. Earle and Ransel next we see, Coming along with Grover, Then Lena Parks and Ada Dee And then the fun ' s all over. The line is marching well along, With Lona and Edna Wright Crowded on by Miss Wilfong, With Jesse at her right. Hattie Martin steps in line With Oscar Edwards, smiling; Lawson and Bertha pass the time, Their studious hours beguiling. Then Carter Fleming comes with Dawn And Carl Carter makes a fuss Because he is the last to see The place the Seniors left for us. And when the years have rolled away, And we review the past We hope to see, as others saw — The JUNIORS not outclassed. HAZEL HOLT, 1911. ' 71 73 JUNIOR N ' AMK.

So SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY History in the making. What arc we doing? What have we clone? As history is a record of events, we are carried to the events themselves; these being linked in an unbroken chain with each member of the class. Many are the pleasant associations of the past year, and with pleasure will we look back on them. This record is but a faint attempt to relate our history to others. Deep down in the recesses of our hearts where the tablets are inscribed, never to lie erased, do we ponder the doings of these days. In years to come when we are out in life, and have grown weary in the struggle for existence, we may look back perchance at this written record and then, and then only will we appreciate the fellowship that was here enjoyed. In the fall term we took possession of the held. ' I ' he class styled Freshmen, that gave the 190Q class such a struggle for supremacy in the Basket Ball field, is the one that took the honors this year. Of course the oppo- sition was great, but with Watkins determined to win, Prickett with the ball in the air, and Morrow with it on tlic tloor, aided bv the long arms of Kline, strengthened by the Stout man. who was greatly helped by Ikickey and Michaels, the goals were shot and the games were won. And then look at the star player of the school team. When Dale got his fingers on the ball, two strokes were added to the score. Dale belongs to the class of great men. and that is the Sophomore class. On the night of April 12, there waged on the Campus, a tierce battle. Those Freshmen had obtained a foothold on the mound and the sturdy Sophomores marched forth to vanquish the enemy. The command was given; long and fierce was the struggle; but what could withstand the advance. Steadily towards the top of the mound advanced the attacking party; at last with a mighty shout the tree was reached and the battle was won, regardless - of posters and threats. We have done many things in the past year. One of which was to let the eagle wing touch us and give us the inspiration, the thrill that told us we could soar above the mountains of prejudice and see the foothills of possibility, and beyond them the mountains of great things. There are no Alps. We have conquered, are conquering, and will continue to conquer. When a difficulty appears, we are ready for the occasion. The way is being paved by the class of 1912, to make a lecord. It has been well begun and the close is going to see us with the silver Trophy, all of our class going out and good records left behind. The dust of ages may settle but the characters that are here molded can not be recovered. The reverberating here started on the strings of eternity will go on and on producing harmony, until at last with one grand out- burst of greatness they will lea]) through space and claim the reward that is theirs because talent was used.

ATHA Vice President DESSIE MAE MILLER Secretary ARTHUR GARRETT Treasurer WALTER MORAN Door Keeper FRANK KENNEDY Class Historian 84 THE BOOK OF FRESHMEN In the third year of the reign of Bennetezer, Benne- tezer dreamed a dream wherewith his spirit was troubled and sleep failed him. Then the king commanded to call the Faculty together to shew the king his dream. And the king said unto them: I have dreamed a dream and my spirit was troubled to know the interpre- tation thereof. Then spake the Faculty and said, ( )h King, live forever, tell thy servants the dream and we will shew the interpretation. Then Bennetezer, the king said, 1 dreamed I stood on the summit of Palatine and lo. a great multitude were approaching the city of Fairmont. From the East they came and from the West, from the North and from the South, and no man could number them for they were exceeding many and they were all armed and on their countenances was an expression of determination and each carried a pack. Now they were without com- mander or captain and each seemed to he his own gen- eral, vet they were all marching toward the Normal School as if to destroy it and I was afraid for my beloved Normal School and my knees did shake. Then said the king, Tell me the interpretation thereof. Then stood forth Beerishazzer, the chief scrihe, and said: Oh King, live forever, the interpretation is easy and I will tell thee the interpretation thereof. The great multitude that thou sawest was the Freshman Class of the new School year and they are without number for new ones will continually join their ranks and the expression of determination that thou sawest is the result of a noble purpose to get a good education and the packs they carried were tilled with hooks and other ammunition and altho ' they had no commander, they will soon organize and take this citadel by storm and carry it brick by brick to the uttermost parts of the town where they will erect a larger structure more suited to their needs. Hut before this shall occur there shall arise, during the first year, from their midst, mighty men of valor and these shall he called Garrett and Clayton and Wolfe and Musgrove and Kennedy and they shall keep the Sophomores busy in Basket Ball. Yea they shall even worry the Juniors and Seniors, whose Ten Commandments they shall break continu- ously and whose confusion they shall witness as so many brain storms. And there shall arise many mighty men from this Class whereof J may not tell thee now for the rest of the future is a sealed hook. Then rejoiced the king, Bennetezer, exceedingly, and began to prepare chapel talks and winter epiarters and a commissary department for this great multitude and every thing came to pass even as Beerishazzer, the scrihe, had said. %Jj 6 §2EJ2£?n ' o x Nl ' OFFICERS: President T.

MUSGROVE IDA NUZUM 07 - THE STUDENT BODY ASSOCIATION. Among the many organizations of the Fairmont State Normal School there are none quite so extensive in range of action or sen e of thought as the Student Body Association. This organization comprises every student in the school. A fee of ten cents is charged each term for the purpose of defraying current expenses. The business is carried on as in any deliberative body, the officers being a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, door-keeper, and an executive committee composed of five members. All students have equal rights in dis- cussing and voting on questions under consideration. The object of the Association is to unify the stu- dents, promote self government in the school, foster the social s drit of the institution, and to get the concerted action of the students on matters pertaining to them. This year the Student Body has had rive socials, it has sent flowers to some of the members who were ill, and in two cases has sent resolutions to the parents of deceased students, and last but not least it has brought two successful lecture courses to the school. The opportunity of this Association as a benefactor in the school is unlimited. If the officers are carefully chosen and discreet individuals, the business will be carried on according to parlimentary rules ; the art of putting a measure before the people and carrying it will he cultivated; the tactics of clean politics will be used and our young people will have had some real experience in life before they begin the struggle with the political world. There is also the possibility of the students of the Normal School becoming a self-governing body. Some schools are doing this already, and there is no reason why we should not. Let us realize that this organization means some- thing to us and let every student in school uphold this Association and stand by the best interests of the Fair- mont State Normal School. L. A. S., Historian. Y. M. C. A. HISTORY. The Y. M. C. A. has grown to be one of the strong- est organizations of this institution. It stands for the promotion of the Christian spirit among the young men, and to this end it has enjoyed a year of great prosperity. We have received the hearty support of the Presi- dent and faculty, and of the local ministers, several of whom attended the meetings and brought with them some special message to the workers. The organization was represented at the Rochester Volunteer Conference at Rochester, N. Y. by L. A. Stark, and at the State Y. M. C. A. Convention at Charleston, AY. Va. by Carl Lawson. The Bible Class which met every Sunday afternoon, was very interesting, and from the study and discussions, a great many truths were revealed, and knowledge of the Bible was obtained that could not have been obtained in any other way. We realize that a great deal of good has been done, but we hope to continue to grow, and desire to make the coining year a better one than we have enjoyed this year.

The Monongalia students met and organized. They elected the regular set of officers and made the organization permanent. Each spring the president writes an open letter to the papers of his county stating the reasons that the young people wishing to prepare for teaching should attend the State Normal at Fairmont. The purpose of the organization is to keep in touch with all students from Monongalia county that have been in school previously; to correspond with the young men and women that are thinking of attending school; to help any students from Monongalia County in getting rooming and hoard and to help in arranging their work. The officers for the coming year are: N. G. MATTHEW, President. ROY NELSON, Vice Presided. MART IE KECK, Secretary. RUSSELL WILSON, Treasurer. GLEN TOOTHMAN, Historian. The picture here shown does not show our entire delegation as many were absent from school on the evening it was taken. Last year there was an enrollment of more than forty students from Monongalia Co. It is not quite so large this year as it was last. Some have been joined in the holy bonds of wedlock, others have been kept away because of sickness and others have decided that they have all the education that they need. Last year this organization gave three young ladies to the graduating class. They were Miss Lulu Fetty, Miss Gertrude Creel and Miss Mary Knapp. This year the following persons will graduate : Miss Martie Keck, Miss Leona Martin, Miss Elizabeth Moon, and Mr. N. G. Matthew. Those who have taken part in the organiza- tion of the county feel that there is a great future for the young people of Monongalia County at the Fairmont State Normal School. 114 115 HARRISON COUNTY CLUB OFFICERS: President E.

Some dates remain unsettled but the schedule will likely include games with D. E. College, W. V. W. C, Marshall College, Morris-PIarvev College, and some of the strong class teams from the W. V. U. Captain Parsons is a man who will get out of a team as much work as any one, and with the aid of a coach — and we surely will have one next fall — we ought to have a team that will make the loyal F.

The old men who will likely be here next fall are: Ford, Captain Parsons, Hayes, Cobun, Musgrove, Mich- aels, Fleming, Garrett, and Morrow. Among the new football material that is coming to F. S. N. S. next fall are: Allen, from Sistersville H. S., Herbert Toothman, Mannington PI. S., Lawrence Griffin, Mannington H. S., Obidiah Moore, Mannington H. S., and perhaps a good man or two from Fairmont H. S. Some of the heavy fellows that have had hard school work this year thus interfering with their playing will he out with the squad next year. So all in all with a good schedule ahead and such a squad of players as we now have promise of having then surely the Yellow and White will Boat triumphantly next fall. FOOT BALL YELLS.

They lost several games by small margins as the scores will indicate, while they lost by large scores to the best teams in the state. The real hard trimmings given to the Normal were by two teams which are contending for the cham- pionship of the state; namely Parkersburg Y. M. C. A. and Elkins Y. M. C. A. Captain David Kennedy on account of private busi- ness resigned as captain and player in mid winter. This put a crimp in the team work and guarding, it being necessary to practice up a new man for guard. Cobun was therefore moved from forward and Hell substituted in his place. In a short time the team was gaining the pace again. The following is the line up: Player Position Height Weigt Age Curry Forward 6 ft. 165 22 Cobun F.

Xew mat erial galore will be out but some of the class league players developed some class this season. Among them are Watkins, Wolf, Stout, Prickett, Carter and Clayton. These men if out for the Varsity will make some interesting try out for the selection of regular team players next year. The 135 133 BASKET BAL L--continued hoodo or god or goddess of hard luck chased the team to a great extent this year. When some one wasn ' t dis- abled we lost games by a margin of one point. CLASS LEAGUE. The class basket ball league in its second year was a big success. The games were free but every body was a winner by attending and rooting for his class team, or by playing in a game for the honor of his class. The games were made more interesting by the offering of a handsome bronze cup by Air. Oliver Shurt- leff to the team which wins the championship for two consecutive seasons. The Sophomores won the cham- pionship this year and as a reward were given a hand- some shield proclaiming the honor of having won one championship in the league. It behooves them in order to win the cup to win the championship next year as Juniors. If they do not the shield will be again pre- sented the winner and the cup still remain in the hands of the Athletic Association. The following was the standing- of the clubs at the close of the season: Class W on Lost P er Cent Sophomores 8 1,000 Seniors 6 4 .600 Juniors 3 7 ■m Freshmen 2 9 .182 The entire schedule was not played out.

They played a number of games against teams which outweighed them but their lack of weig ' ht was counter balanced by their swift team work and the scores showed that they were there when it came to playing the game.

The team has the best line up in its history. The services of Manager Lew Hunt of the Fairmont team of the W. Va. League, as coach have been secured and he is dong well with the team. The season opened up rather strenuously for a team that had had only three days coaching. When we open- ed up with Bethany here and followed with two games in the next two days with West Virginia VVesleyan at Buckhannon. Yet, Manager Conoway, who was elected to fill the place of Mr. Fay Amos who resigned, deserves much credit for the care and interest taken to give good base- ball to our students and patrons. Early in the season the team was handicapped by the accident to Ernest Bell, second baseman, which accident happened early in the first game with W. V. AY. C. and later for a short time by an accident to Lamb ' s left wrist and hand. Homer Toothman second basemen for the past three years was elected captain of this year ' s team and Mr. Lynde Bock of Farmington was elected assistant manager to become manager next year. Bock is an efficient business man and the normal may expect a good schedule next year. The line up of the team is as follows : Jay Snoderly Second Base and First Base Homer Toothman Catcher, Captain Harry Lamb Left Field J. L. Conaway Short Stop, Manager J. Lynde Bock First Base, Ass ' t Manager Charles Moore First Base F. C. Barbarow - Center Field Reid Morrow Harry Honakc Walter Kuhr. ....

Homer Toothman, who the three years previous to this plaved second base. All the others of this year ' s team will be back and a number of the reserve team will make a fine showing for the team next year providing they are here.

Last year a strong ' team rep- resented the yellow and white. Manager Arthur Garrett is busy training the held men and although no records have been broken, some good time has been made.

Nan Hargrave sat at the window of her room and gazed at the hills which rose all around her home. She seemed to be in a thoughtful mood, yet often her eyes would glow with an inner fire. Presently she rose and passed out of the house to the porch. Here she was enabled to get a better view of the surrounding country. The wooded hills rose before her in all their grandeur. To the left the Valley river flowed with its murmuring song to join the restless streams which finally form, with The Father of Waters, the water-way of the Sunny South. She could see the farm houses which dotted the hills and the valley, thro ' which the river ran. A short distance from her home she saw the little coun- try school house, where she had spent her childhood days ; here she had fought her first battles, with books, in which she was always victorious, with boys, too, for she had never had a brother to defend her, and had openly fought the boys who intruded upon her rights. When her glance fell upon the school house, a shadow passed over her face, and she seemed for an instant to forget her surroundings, the look of a wounded animal came into her eyes, but with a start and shrug of her shoulders, the look of a man going into battle replaced the one of pain. She entered the sitting room where the family were seated about the cheerful fire, it being early spring, and was met by the remark. What train do you take for the city to-morrow Nan? The 10:15 train, father, was the reply given in a cheerful tone. Then the coming journey was discussed with its varying details, for on the morrow, Nan would go to the city, some fifty miles distant to enter a professional school for the training- of teachers. She had always had a desire to become a teacher, and her father had at last consented for her to enter her chosen profession. As she was not going far from home the family would not feel the separation so much since she could come home freque ntly during the year. The next few weeks of Nan ' s life were trying ones. She had been on a visit to the city a few times, but then she had been among relatives ; now she was placed among strangers, and the feeling of loneliness and home-sick- ness, almost over-powered her, but that indomitable will- power and courage born in the women of the rugged hills of West Virginia would not own defeat, and gradually the feeling of loneliness was replaced by one of content. She was very much interested in her studies, a hard worker, but not a grind. She became a leader in all the affairs of her school life. No social function seemed perfected, unless Nan had a part in the planning. The boys soon learned to respect her, for she never feared to oppose the wrong, even if this entailed some strong argument on her part.. She always treated the boys with kindness and respect, they were comrades, friends, but they seemed to realize there was a line beyond that of friendship which no one dare pass. To the girls she was a jolly, loving schoolmate — always ready to con- done any slight offense, and forgive the offender, and the oirls came to know and trust her, but to question her or ask for confidences — never — for they soon learned 151 Nan had no secrets, and if so, they were hers and hers, alone. Thus three years of her school life passed away. She had passed creditably her studies of her Junior year and entered on her Senior and last year in school. She had formed during her school years a friendship for one of the girls in her class which resembled the David and Jonathan compact of historical fame. The two girls were inseparable, where you saw Nan, there also you would find Marion Clark, a small delicate, brown haired, brown eyed maid, but Nan was wholly capable of caring for her. Marion who never dared defend herself, was strong in the might of her champion who never failed her. The girls were sitting on the campus one day in the beginning of the school year, discussing their work when Marion turned to Nan, with, AYhat are you going to do next year, Nan? Teach of course, Marion, why do you ask ? Oh ! I supposed you would teach, but I thought you might travel, as I have often heard you express a desire for travel. Perhaps I shall, sometime, Marion, but not now. Father needs me now and 1 have been away so long I feel it my duty to stay with him. But 1 long to see some of the world, and I shall too. But what will you do in that poky little village, Nan, I have often wondered why you cared to stay in a place so lonely. You never see any of your friends, unless they come to you or you go to them, which is seldom. I should think 3 011 would die of nothing at all to do, I ' m sure I would and Marion closed her eyes for a moment as if to shut out the vision, then suddenly. hy don ' t you marry, Nan, and leave the horrid lonely place? For a moment Nan did not reply, it was well for -her peace of mind as well as to still the questions which might arise in Marion ' s mind that she did not see the expression of pain that crossed Nan ' s face, but which as quickly passed. Oh! I ' m destined to be an old maid, Marion; I don ' t need a man to protect me you know, was the laughing rejoinder. Marion did not have time for a reply, for just then one of the boys came toward them across the campus and seated himself as if sure of a welcome. Robert Andrews was one of the best as well as the jolliest boys in school. He was a favorite with the professors as well as the boys. A giant in size, almost, as compared to most of the boys, a fine well proportioned, physically strong man. One who could well stand the knocks the world would eventually tender him. He was a favorite also with the girls, but he seemed to think they all deseiwed his championship, but of late he had been inclined to seek Nan and Marion. No one knew whose companv he preferred, and no one could very easily tell, since he could not talk to one without considering the other. Nan whose preference for none of the boys had been shown, was nevertheless, glad to welcome him at the present moment, so as to evade any more question- ing. Rob was elated over a coming foot-ball game, with a rival school and knew he would find interested listen- ers. We shall find a strong team to come up against, but our boys have been working hard and I think we can beat them was his cheerful remark. I am sure 152 we shall, if our coach does his duty Marion answered. Nan had been sitting in a deep study and at this looked up. Who is the coach for the other team? she asked, more to have something to say than the interest she felt in the question. Jack Nefif Rob answered, and went on with some estimates of the teams, as given by their best men in their athletic world. Nan ' s face turned pale and she was glad that Rob and Marion were so interested in the game, that they did not notice her embarrassment. The year passed all too quickly, and at last com- mencement week arrived. The ties of friendship were to be severed, and by some not to be reunited. Others would travel the path-way side-by-side. Such is school life. But looking on the darker side who can look back on their school days with aught but a feeling of pleasure. How pleasant in the years to come, when the world has tossed us about on its restless billows to enter the haven of memory, if only for a little while, hear again those dear familiar voices, see those well remembered faces — live our school days o ' er again. Rob seemed loth to discuss the home going especial- ly when in company with Nan and Marion. It came to be the rule that you would always find him in their com- pany if it were possible for him to be there. Nan alone, seemed not to notice the significance of such a procedure and all unconsciously little by little won Rob ' s heart. The day preceding commencement day. Nan and Rob had taken a walk to a small park adjoining the town. Marion remained in her room pleading a headache. Rob seemed ill at ease and Nan tried to make him forget himself by being as jolly as only she knew how to be. They reached the park and Nan threw herself down in the shade of a large maple and taking off her hat began to fan, regardless of the fact that she was disarranging her hair. Nan ' s beauty lay in her hair. A mass of auburn changing to burnished gold in the sunlight just curling enough around the temples to lend an expression of mischie f to the brown eyes beneath. Nan would not have been called a beauty, and yet her face was such a one as would make you wish to see it again. No one ever saw Nan angry, but those brown eyes could emit sparks of fire, if aroused by a good cause. To-morrow is the beg ' inning and not the ending isn ' t it Rob? was her careless query and she was surprised at the expression on Rob ' s face when he turned to her with, No, it is the ending of all for me I fear, and yet I can only hope, and like all dying men grasp at a straw. Nan ' s face was almost blank in its expression of astonishment, but Rob did not wait for a reply. Do you know why I asked you to come out here to-day. I was afraid to trust my fate where others might read. Nan do you know I love you and led you here that I might tell you so? Rob — I — believe me — I did not think — . I know was his broken reply, that is why I knew it was useless. 1 knew you never thought of me except as a friend ; that is what has kept me silent so long ' . I could not let you go out of my life without knowing it was impossible for you to take the place left vacant if you can not fill it. Please let me say what I started to tell you, for she had made an attempt to speak, but at this remained silent. I shall not call my life a failure if vou do not 15:3 share it. I have a work to do, and I shall try with all the strength I can command to make it worth while. I have tried to picture my life without you and the scene is a desolate one, but God helping me 1 shall try to become what 1 should, had you been there to help me. Is there no hope for me, Nan? And Rob turned to her a face so passionately tender in expression, so hopeful in its pleading, that Nan hesitated to cloud it with what she must say. Before replying she took from her neck a slender gold chain, opening the locket attached to it. she held it out for Rob ' s inspection. He saw before him a boy ' s face, framed in by a mass of dark hair. The eyes which seemed about to speak were only strengthen- ed in their expression by the firm mouth and chin which stamped the face as one unusually strong. That is my mascot, Rob, the face of the dearest friend I ever knew. Dear Jack, he died when only a boy , but I can not forget, neither would 1, the work he intended doing, and which 1 am left to accomplish as best I can. He was ambitious for himself but more so for others. Perhaps had lie lived he would have met with failure, but he was spared the pain of failure, lie planned for us both and when he knew he was going to die he asked that I carry them out. That is why I never suspected your love, because my heart was filled with ni} ' plans for the future. This has filled my life, and I am glad that it is so. It is only a shadow of the pleasure I had planned for myself, but God thought it best that the shadow should be given me. 1 am content, since I know it is his way. Life to me at times has seemed bitter, but I have tried so hard to make it sweet. Now I am going to try to help others who have not had the opportunity I have had. It means a struggle under difficulties, for the people have no ambition and seem satisfied with life as it is. I would not ask you to share this if I wished you to do so, and 1 do not. You have planned your future and it is not right that you should change your plans for me. 1 can give you no hope. I am going to work as 1 see the right, and our paths in life may drift farther and farther apart. I know this decision of mine will not darken your life. You have given me assurance of that, and of such an ending of your hopes and plans, and 1 am glad for you. I shall always think of you as a man who knew his duty and did it. I would not cause you this pain if 1 could prevent it, but as it is the shadow of what might have been calls me and ] can not and dare not disobey. Rob gave the locket which he had been looking at careful I v, to Nan and as he did so clasped her hands in his own for a moment. 1 thank you Nan, for telling me this. More than ever I see my duty, and I shall try to follow the path over winch it leads me. Like you it will not be smooth sailing, but knowing you are struggling on where duty calls vou, will help me to fight on to victory. I shall try t be worthy of your friendship, and shall still hope that at some time vou will share my life and make it beautiful by your presence. Tell me of your plans. I wonder now why T never asked, but then I suppose I tried to make believe they would be mine. Nan told him of her home and its surroundings. Of the many young pepole growing up in ignorance. No church, a small school building, a store — these were the meager advantages of civilization. No books, few papers, no magazines; and Rob knew it would be a 154 battle worth while, but the fire of conquest was in Nan ' s eyes, and he was glad she had seen her duty as it was. Ten years have passed since Nan ' s graduation. Years of work and its reward. Nan ' s face has grown loveler with an inner beauty and the fire is unquench- able in those soft brown eyes. Nan ' s life has been one of difficulties, but no one ever heard her complain. It has been a work of love and has succeeded even beyond her wildest expectations. She began with only a few girls in a reading club, she herself furnishing the reading matter. This circle widened to include the boys. Now there is a library of several hundred volumes. The homes of the boys and girls are supplied with good reading. The fathers and mothers saw what Nan was doing after she had worked, many, man}-, weary days, and they too became interested. The colleges know some of the boys and girls from the village. A young physician coming to notice before the public is one of Nan ' s boys. Several of her boys are filling responsible positions. A girl ' s college is spoken of very frequently in the neighborhood and three of the girls who will graduate soon, owe their start in life to Nan. Life is made broader and brighter for the whole neighborhood by the untiring efforts of one strong girl answering the call of duty. The people of the village are living cleaner, healthier lives, and are interested in something besides the gossip which hinders and never helps. Nan is respected elsewhere outside this little world. She is known by many of the prominent educators, and the example of her life has helped many a weary soul to renew the struggle and battle of life. Nan grows younger, save the few threads of silver in the crown of burnished gold. Marion has been mistress of her own home for quite awhile, and Nan always finds a welcome awaiting her visits. The neighborhood is astir this June morning. The village has put on an air of importance. The center of attraction is the church, a modern brick structure, a statue of Nan ' s earnest endeavor. As we approach the church the organ peals forth a march strangely familiar, and we glance around as a hush comes over the room. Then up the aisle there come some white robed girls, carrying roses which they let fall in the pathway of a man and woman who advance to the altar. The man ' s face strikingly resembles that of a noted surgeon, whose pictures the newspapers have been publishing, and whose articles are read by all the profession. A man whose life has been well spent for mankind. While the man of God speaks the words which unite the lives of these two my thoughts have wandered back to my school days and when the solemn words are ended and the faces are turned to me — see again, glowing with a light that is not of land or sea, the faces of Nan and Rob, and the light which falls from the stained window casts no shadow on these two, but only a hallowed radiance which will shine for aye. 15. NORMAL Time honored cherished Normal, Thy walls to us are dear, Oh, how can we forget thee, ( )r the times that we ' ve spent here? Thy name we ' ll ever cherish, And for thy banner fight.

THE BOOK OF CHRONICLES. On the 29th. day of the third month which was the beg ' innig of the spring term a great multitude of Fresh- men was gathered at the Normal. Now these Fresh- men were without knowledge and ignorance was deep seated upon their countenances. And they did walk through the halls with much clamor and loud noise. And they spake unto the upper classmen, saying ' , Where is the Training Department that we may enter and find knowledge? Yea even show unto us the Training Dept. that we may observe and add to our wisdom. Now that same day when the bell had sounded five times thru the halls (for some Pharisee had monkeyed with the gong) the Freshmen journeyed to the Chapel and did sit in the seats not assigned to them by the Faculty, even in the seats of the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. And the Faculty entered and the President seated them upon the rostrum one male between two females seated he them. Then he opened his mouth and spake unto the Freshmen saying, Young people ye are the salt of the earth et cetera. Whereupon the Fresh- men did make much applause. And their being many conflicts in the schedule the President straightway set about to diminish them. And when all the conflicts had been done away with but one and that one being Agri- culture, the President addressed the multitude saying, I have here two men, Rogers and Beer, either of which I will set over you as an instructor of Agriculture. AVhich will ye have? Then the Freshmen being thirsty from much talking cried in one voice, Give us Beer. Now in the afternon of the same day a foul odor arose from the regions of the lower hall and ascended toward the heavens. And the Freshmen inquired of one another saying, What meaneth this stench? And when none could answer them they grasped their noses and sought the open air. And the odor ascended to the sanctum of the Most High even unto the President ' s office. And the President was exceeding wroth, and he inquired into the matter saving, What hoodlum has done this evil deed? Who hath been vile enough to generate this hydrogen sulphide? And a Soph ans- wered him saying, As f passed by the Laboratory door the odor was exceeding rank. Mayhaps Prof. Rogers hath done this deed. Then the President descended the stairs and spake unto Rogers saying - , Hast thou done this? But Rogers answered him, Nay, nay. Then Rog ' ers went forth into the hall and searched diligent! v but it profited him nothing for verily the test tube was concealed behind the radiator. And this was the evening of the first day. Now it happened on the morning of the second day that a host of pink posters were abroad in the land. Now these posters had been put up by the upper class- men and read as follows : Freshmen of the F. S. N. S. : I. Know ye by all these presents that ye are the scum of the earth. II. Miserable angle worms applaud no more in chapel lest ye be trampled upon and squelched. III. The insignia of your rank shall be a red cap with a green button on its top. Wear it on all occasions. IV. Ye shall not hold forth elsewhere in Chapel than the section assigned to you. Disobeying this rule is likely to cause a severing of thy writhing spineless bodies. V. Ye are as feeble children among this student body and ye shall be seen and shall not be heard. VI. Attend! Lead no applause of any nature whatsoever. Leave that to your superiors. VII. Crawling creatures you are forbidden to wear peg trousers, sweaters, high collars, loud socks, or ties for verily these privileges are reserved for those towering above you namely, the Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors and Faculty. III. Scum of the earth! Bootlick not the Fac- ulty. Speak not to upper classmen. Tip your little red cap with its little green button to those whomsoever of them that may address ye. IX. Perform any act of service bidden of you by upper classmen, graciously and with a smiling counte- nance. X. Hearken unto these commandments lest the yawning Monongahela receive thee unto itself and red chalk and a sharp edged splintry rail await thee on the i ither shore. SIC SEMPER VERMIRUS. And it came to pass when the Freshmen had read these posters that a great fear fell upon them and they were sore afraid. And they spake among themselves saying, Who will protect us from this wrath which is to ciime? And they cried aloud for the clock tower to fall upon them and hide them from the face of the earth but it would not. Then one of their number spake unto them saying , Let us take this matter before the Presi- dent. And when the President had heard them he caused the bell to be sounded five times. And when the multitude had assembled in Chapel he arose and ad- dressed them saying, Fear not O ye Freshmen. Pay no heed to these iniquitious posters for verily I say unto you they are the work of hoodlums and if I am able to find who hath done this deed they shall be cast forth from the school. Then he called one William surnamed Beer, a disciple of Sherlock Holmes, and said unto him, Kind me the upper classmen who have joined the Mill Poster ' s Union that I may expel them. And Beer did as he was bidden and searched even unto the clock tower but he found them not. And this was the evening of the second day. And it came to pass on the evening of the third day that the Lyceumites made great feast and with them sat the Freshmen. And when they were all assembled the chief priest of the Lyceumites spake unto the Fresh- men saying, Eat, drink and be merry for next Monday ye shall surely die for it has been prophesied that the Freshmen and Sophomores shall have a class rush and woe be unto for the the Sophomores are a mighty and righteous people. And they sat down and did eat and drink. And while they were eating and drinking the 1 ' resident came out into the hall. And he saw the captain of the Normal Fire Dept. connecting the hose to the water pipe. And the President inquired of him saying, What doest thou? And the captain said, I am going to water the Freshmen for ] fear lest they are dry. Then the President said, Waste not the water upon them for they have alreadv drunk much good punch. Also I charge thee to put away the hose lest I expel thee. And while they were feasting and making merry suddenly all the lights went out and they were left in utter darkness. And they seached for Moses but could not find him. And this was late the third day. Now it happened on the evening of the fourth day that the Student Body made a great reception and all the students and the Faculty were bidden. And when they were all assembled in the gym there were many introductions and much handshaking. And when every man had saluted his neighbor the President ascended to the rostrum and ordered that the entire multitude should form in line, one male with one female, and when this had been accomplished he ordered his chief musician to play. And when the music was started the procession marched forth from the gym into the hall and hack again. And when they had marched about five thousand cubits the President commanded them to stand still. Then he called upon certain of the chief men of the different counties to ascend the rostrum and speak to their brethren who had lately come to the school. And the air was filled with oratory and loud cheers. And certain members of the Faculty also spake. And when they had made an end of the speaking there was much music and dancing which continued even unto the third watch. And this was late the fourth clay. Now it had been prophesied that on the fifth day there would be a class rush. And it came to pass that shortly after the setting of the sun a mighty army of Sophomores assembled upon the mound. And the}- were strong of lung and did give many fierce class yells. And their women who were in the Dormitory sang songs and spake words of encouragement to them. And their cap- tains entreated them to stand firm around the Sycamore and said ft is better that a Dormitory biscuit were tied about your necks and ye were dropped into the Monon- gahela than that the Freshmen should take the Mound. Then just before the second watch a mighty host of Freshmen were seen approaching from the Southeast corner of the campus. And when the Sophomore saw them approaching they girded up their loins and pre- pared to do battle. And when the Freshmen had come near to the Mound, suddenly they ran forward with great speed and attempted to rush the Sophomores, but the Sophomores fell upon them and smote them hip and thigh. And there was great slaughter. And after the captain of the Freshmen had collected his scattered army and encouraged them the} ' again charged the Mound. And as the}- were being repulsed for the second time one of the Freshmen named Barbarow, who had been a mighty man even from his youth up, seized the captain of the Sophomores and carried him from the Mound. And when the Sophomores saw what had befallen their captain they fell upon the Freshmen with renewed energy and scattered them even as chaff upon the threshing floor. And the fighting continued even to the third watch and then the Freshmen having suffer- ed much severe loss retreated from the Campus and the hosts of the Sophomore were victorious. And this was the evening- of the fifth day. 159 THE FACULTY NAME. WHAT THEY ARE THANKFUL FOR. WHAT THEY GOT FOR XMAS.

And the critic will look at your book and say; Whether Life or Death you ' ve won. Are you doing your best with your chances lent? Are you writing i.t plain and clear? Does it hold the record of a day misspent? Or bear the blot of a falling tear? Did you till the page of nineteen-nine? With deeds of love, to your fellow men? Will you do your best and try to find, Noble acts to record, on page nineteen-ten? Have you written a book that is bright and gay? Have vou worked with a master ' s hand? These questions the Critic will ask — and, aye. By your record, He will understand. You are writing the book of your life, my friend With the deeds of months and years — nd the sheets must be strong and the colors blend, When the Critic of All appears. C. E.

NOTE — One of the Senior girls walking- around the campus picked up this manuscript presumably written by a Dormitory girl. Parts were torn out and parts were destroyed by the elements that be. This will in part account for the skipping of dates. The presentable portions are as follows: Sept. 13.— Well I am here, have met lots of boys and think I will like it fine.

(All questions will be answered to which the in- quirer ' s sigTi their full names ; no money is required, advice being- entirely gratuitous.) Leona M. — Self control is the secret of character. No matter how sorely afflicted you may be, learn to control your emotions and even if you can ' t succeed entirely, at least do not say Damn at a funeral. YVilla R. — Cocoa butter is recommended as a great fattener. Fred L. — You have my sincere sympathy in the pain which your sensitive nature must undergo in en- countering the disgusting profanity so prevalent in Ger- man Literature. I will endeavor however, to supply you with a few revised translations which, if carefully memorized, will spare you many embarrassing situations. Tod und Verdamnis ! The very idea! Donner und Blitzen. Gracious ! Zum Henker ! Sakes alive ! Geht in-die liolle! Goodness me! By following these suggestions the innocent mind of the student may be spared many shocks. Jennie H. — Your lack of masculine admirers is un- doubtedly due to the shyness of the young men. You have possibly been a little too reserved and cold in your manner. You should endeavor to be frank and charming and to encourage them in every way you can. Neva K. — Perhaps, dear, it was due to your youth and inexperience that you took a moonlight stroll so late at night with the college youth, but it is reallv not pood form, so don ' t do it aoain. Ethel R. — No you should never go out at night without a chaperone. Blanche C. — I would advise you to read extensively on Low Talking. You will find it quite beneficial. Grace F. — You should not worry over your inability to care as much for all classes as you do for the Seniors —It is perfectly natural for you know they are really a remarkably bright set of people. Ida N. — Do not complain. Be thankful that von can still shine by the reflected glow of your distinguished relatives. That at least is better than being totally extinguished, you know. Lila Claire R. — Your ambitions to reestablish the ancient customs of wearing the hair down the back is quite the proper thing. Heads were made a long time before rats and hairpins and there is no reason why your brain should be stunted in development by the constant pressure of a rat on your plastic skull. Enola W. — Yes, dear, your case approaches the limit. Alary W. — No, dear, it is not good form to sing so much or so loud as to disturb the surrounding neighbors. Bertha G. — 1 can not give you an answer to your Question. If you will send a stamped envelope to Geo. F. Phillips, Huntington, W. Va. He answers any ques- tions you may ask concerning this matter. Mayme R. — There is no reason why you can not attract admirers if you try. You know a winning smile always works charms. Floris Mc. — You may as well give her up, she has irredeemably slipped from you. Yes, you had better 179 treat the winning ' man as a friend, as indeed he may may cause him to commit a rash act by treating him prove to he in the end. thus. Ida O. — By all means wear a Peter Tompson Bly S. — No, dear, paint and powder do not aid one dress. It is the most enchancing dress a young lad} ' to become beautiful, rather the reverse, of your age can wear. Callie N. — Yes, dear, I think the young man is Nelle B. — Xo, you should not lead the young man sincere in his -attentions to you; just wait and I have in think that you care for him when you do not. You no doubt but that he will propose in due time. Melancholy Days. Tlie hour is long and dry and dreary, It drags and the professor is never weary, For still he clings to his tiresome rot. We miss each word for we heed him not. And the hour is dry and dreary. Mv grades are low and harsh and dreary, ( f school and its tortures I am weary, Mv thoughts now turn to the man who passed. And the hopes of my Freshman year so vast. And my grades are low and dreary. Be still sad heart and cease regretting. For there are others who E ' s are getting, Thy fate is the common fate of all. Into each life ' some flunks must fall. Some erades must be low and dreary, The Normal Lecture Course. The one mark of a progressive school is that it has a first class lecture course as a part of the regular year ' s program; that there is something more to he had while attending it than merely classroom work and references to the Library. The Fairmont Normal tried, in the year iCjoS- ' ot). to give the students and the townspeople the opportunity of a first class lecture course. The course- was given but the promoters of it lost very heavily before the course ended. When school opened in Sept. 1909, some of tire students felt that the school ought not to go without a lecture course. Accordingly a Student Body meeting was called and the matter discussed. A committee was appointed to gather information concerning a course fit for our school and finances. After consulting Prof. Beer and Prof. Bavis a four-number course, from the Bock- way Lyceum Bureau was chosen, consisting of two musi- cal numbers, one lecturer, and one entertainer. The course was adopted by the Student Body and Mr. X. G. Matthew was made Business Manager. Mr. Matthew immediately set about to make it a financial success. After advertising the course thoroughly in the newspapers a systematic canvass of the town was made and before the first number appeared enough tickets had been sold to pay for the course. The course was as follows: The Dunbar Bell Ringers, Nov. 20; A. W. Lamar, Lecturer, Dec. 8; The Concert Trio, Jan. 3; and Pidelah Rice, Entertainer, March 30. The Dunbar Bell Ringers proved the hit of the season and many have, asked that they return. The entire course was pleasing to the students and received the approval of the most careful critics of our city. For the year 1910-11 a committee has been appointed and is now preparing a much longer and costlier course than was had last year. Mr. C. B. Lee has been elected Business Manager for the year and with such an ener- getic fellow as Mr. Lee with the ever present and valu- able help of Prof. Beer the course will prove more suc- cessful this vear than last. isr Thoughts Suggested by the Final Grades in Mathematics. High in the midst, surrounded by the Faculty, Sits Prof. Mercer dignified as Malachai ; Seated in his chair of state he seems a god While Seniors, Juniors, Sophs, and Freshies tremble at lu ' x nod. They sit, pale and fearful, miles away from glee, Listening to him ] renouncing that fatal grade of E ; Denouncing dire reproach to luckless fools Too unskilled 1 plod in mathematical rules. Geometry and Trig arc both such easy stunts So why are there so many unnecessary flunks? When the teacher is with all Euclids axioms possessed, Why shouldn ' t his pupils be smarter than the rest . J Happy is the youth whose scientific pate Class honors, medals and fellowships await. If in Arithmetic he wants to get a oass The pupil must deserve it, be the lad or lass In an Academic course or even Cupid ' s art It is not necessary that he thoroughly play his part. Hut, oh, to Hunk in Algebra is the worst that could befall To anyone that was ever known to grace the Normal Hall. A. F. M.. ' to. CLASS OF 1872. Hyre D. Clark, Charleston, W. Va. Anna B. A.
