Mr. Barnes was educated in the common schools and in West Virginia Conference Seminary. He received his A. B. from W. V. U. and his A. M. from Harvard.

U., Pitt., the University of Pennsylvania and the State Normal School at Towson, Maryland. He has held several important educational oiices. At present he is the president of the State Education Association, special advisor in English to the State Board of Education and Vice-president of the Fairmont State Normal School. Mr. Barnes' work is not confined to West Virginia alone. .For several years he has been a correspondent of the English Journal. That he has a national reputation is evidenced by the fact that he has been chairman of important committees in the National Education Association and the Na- tional Council of Teachers of English. He is also known as an author. Among his writings are: English in the Country Schools and Types of Children's Literature. He has also edited several books, among them The Crisis by Churchill.

Ruth Shough Ruth Ours Gladys Snyder Anna Crawford Svrninr nrmal Gllaum Qintnrg During the early part of June, 1919, when several young people began to decide definitely upon the path which they were to follow in life, teach- ing evidently occupied a great many minds. As a result, many students from various counties of West Virginia decided to attend one of the best educational institutions in the state-the good old F. S. N. S. When the doors of the Fairmont Normal School were opened for the fall term in September, 1919, a crowd of ambitious boys and girls enrolled for work in the Junior Normal class. Soon Doctor Turner had us in working harness, and all was going well. There was not a shirker among us and when the second semester closed June 10th, 1920, some fifty stu- dents had finished the Junior Normal work. Sept. 10, 1920, we returned to school but it was almost a new place. The dignified seniors were gone and we were to take their places. Dr. Tur- ner was no longer to keep our feet from straying, but a new class officer .stood with a kind heart and willing hands ready to help us over the stile into the fields of better and higher educaion. Pa Shreve deserves special mention, for no person could have had greater influence upon our future life than he. His broad educational views and high ideals will ever be in our minds during our future work. The Senior Normal Class contained good material, as evidence shows. The student body president during 1920-21, belonged to our class and the Y. M. C. A., Glee Club, and the two literary socieies also owe much to us. The greater part of the Bulletin Staff and the Y. W. C. A. president belong- ed to our class. As for workers, evidence is strong in our favor. When the Warm sunshine of early summer brightens this old earth, June the ninth, nineteen hundred twenty-one, we shall receive our reward. We shall then bid our class-mates and teachers good-by, go to our various places, and do still more toward lifting education to a higher plane and making our dear old Alma Mater proud of us. I CN. M.

SENIOR SHORT COURSE HISTORY Svninr Shari Glnurne ltiatnrg th As Armistice Day, November 11, 1919, will always be remembered in e history of the world, so September 14, 1920, will be remembered as the glgllrgabiiice of the Short Course Class of twenty-one to Fairmont State Normal h Our first impression of the school was, Girls! Girls! Girls! Here, E ere, and everywhere. We felt sort of disappointed at not seeing many OYS. but, after meandering up and down the halls, looking over the situ- 3-UOH, We decided to register. After a long process of making our slips we were sent to our class of- ficer. He was verv 'ollv and good-natured and made us feel as though we - J - Were welcome and a part of the Normal School. Our schedules were ar- h 'f re Vabged and Oh, my! classes from 8:10 to 4:30! but we thoug t 1 we we g0111g to school here we must do as they do here. At 8:10 n Wednesday morning we assembled in Mr..White's room for O .. our first' class. Of all the subjects we had to study! Principles of Educa- ! h h ard of hon, Chlld Study, School Management, How to Teach. W o ever e S0 much in connection with teaching? B t th it was vet to come: Practice Teaching. It is very sim- u e Wors , ple to Sit back and watch the teachers at the White School teach but when ' ' ' d 'ded the world one has to do it, it is very different. After all this we eci ' ' d m lain. was full of surprises, and there wasn t any use to worry an co p But lo and behold! the only two boys in our class came up missing. We don't know what became of them unless they were frightened at the sight of ' ' ' 't faced even this so many girls. But with the usual Short Course Spiri , we calamity. After we had become somewhat settled, a meeting of our . class was called for organization. After a long conflameration, Marguerite Stanley ' ' ' 'd nt and Frances Hanley was elected President, Marie Berry, Vice Presl e , , Secretary. Our class is very congenial and are among the most .popular students of the school. But we have one grievous fault and that is when the class is having a meeting We all want to talk at once and a conclusion can never be reached. - FORTY-ONE ll! ill lm SENIOR SHORT COURSE HISTORY ml The second semester of school two new members were added to our class: Miss Georgia Spriggs and Mr. Garrett Hunt. My! but Mr. Hunt is popular with our class! The girls all hurry to class in order to sit next to him. Mr. White, our teacher of educational sub- jects, is very popular with our class and is ever ready to stand by us and encourage us in all our undertakings. The members of our class excel along different lines. When it comes to arguing, Frances Hanley gets A. Whether she has actual fact or not, she has the last word and comes out on top. Mildred Ridgeway and Alice Crim sail into Mr. White's room like a tornado and make a fifty yard dash for their seats before Mr. White can mark tardy on his little green book. Here is what we are noted for: Gertrude Cunningham, for her long elaboration of subject matter. Bernice Carpenter, for giggling when the rest of us are trying to con- vince Mr. White we know our lesson. Marie Berry, for her sweet disposition. Eliza Bracey, for her convincing manner. Georgia Spriggs, for her ease of manner. A.vilda Thompson, for vamping the boys. Marguerite Stanley, for her wonderful advice to the Short Course Class. Mrsf Boatman,.for her wonderful recitations. And last but not least, Garret Hunt, for his interesting stories of his home town. Our class, youlcan see, is very small, but what is lacking in quantity is made up in quality. Whatever our class undertakes, they accomplish and the State of West Virginia will have ready for work next fall many capable teachers. The success of the class is due to the untiring efforts of Mr. Lively and Mr. White and we hope to work hard to achieve Success so that we may not only be a credit to Fairmont State Normal School but to the generation we are preparing to serve.

The Senior Academic Class has one that any class should be proud of. The members of the Senior Academic Class, or at least a number of them entered the Normal in the fall of 1917. As Burns would say, they were shy, timorous beastiesf' From the first stage, they passed to a more serious stage, the sophomore stage. Then they were Juniors and next grave and reserved Seniors. One secret of the success of the Junior class was the lending of a helping hand to the different members of the class by Mr. Rogers. Whenever a Senior was in trouble all he would have to do was to tell his troubles and Mr. Rogers would mend matters. With the Motto Carry On they started the year and they have been carrying on ever since. They might have carried on in some ways that would have been to a better advantage than in the way they did, but they lived up to their motto. Many students that were in the '21 class dropped out of school, some on account of sickness and others because they thought they could do better elsewhere. The students when Freshmen started out to win fame in the Normal School. Now as Seniors they see their ac- complishment. The Senior Academics are leaders in the social affairs of the school. Some are active members of the Literary societies,.Young Women's Christian Associa- tion, and all other organizations of the school. The Senior Class was well represented in athleics. The Minstrel, which was given in March, had several members of the Senior Classes and profited by them. Nearly all the Seniors helped in the Student relief fund and in the Chinese relief fund. As the members have reached graduation time and the roll is called there are ten students that have remained 1n school and can answer Present .

Fairmont State Normal School entered on its adventures in this insti- tution of learning. We came from far and near, some preparing for teach- ing and others for college work. After a few days we became accustomed to the big building and the Ph. D. S, by Christmas were well on the way to success. We soon organized our class, electing as our officers very diligent workers. .Early in the season an informal reception was given the Juniors by the Senior Class. This was to make us acquainted with our teachers and fel- low students. It proved very successful.

SIXTY-FIVE Spring Germ Stnhrnia Along with the numerous indications of a revival in the interests of better teaching you have been getting throughout the pages of the Mound there is yet another to bring to your attention. All through the school year our thoughtful faculty have been wonder- ing how many teachers in the various parts of the state would answer to the call of better prepared teachers, and come back to try to solve and work out the many problems which they met in their teaching. The facul- ty knew that if they could see many teachers coming in to freshen up their teaching ability, after a year of conscientious school work, it would indi- cate the right spirit among our West Virginia teachers. They waited anxiously for the spring term arrivals. Needless to say they were not dis- appointed. we came forty-one strong-not only strong in number but strong in school spirit and enthusiasm. We have definite problems to solve which we met in our teaching and we go after the solutions in a spirit that spells victory. Another fact which looks good for the school is the number who are planning to finish their standard course. The following ones are working to accomplish this: Olive Reese Ruby Moore Anna Bock Nelle Dunham Edna Parrish Wanda Morgan J. W. Santee - Nelle Straight Mable Masters - Lucile Hennen Hazel Reed Edna Shough Beatrice Crane Crystal Watson Pearle Arnett Anna Underwood Mae Talkington Madge Michael Taken as a whole class you will find them good workers and loyal sup- porters of the better teachers' movement in West Virginia.

S. has stood out as one of the most promi- nent and wide-awake organizations in the school this year. At one of the Cabinet meetings they pledged themselves to try to inter- est the girls of the school in Y. W. C. A. activities by having interesting pro- grams. In carrying out this plan Mrs. N. R. C. Morrow was engaged to give a series of Bible lectures thruout the school year. The first weekly meeting in the month has been a Bible lecture, the second a regular programg the third, a Bible lecture, and the fourth, a business meeting. At the beginning of school the Association gave a weiner roast at Woodland Park. The purpose of this outing was to enable the students to become better acquainted with each other. It was a most enjoyable affair, not only by the students but the faculty as well. Miss Catherine Halsey, student secretary of Ohio and West Virginia, was at the Normal during the week of October the eighth.Miss Prichard the faculty advisor, and the Cabinet members entertained Miss Halsey and the Y. W. C. A. members with a buffet supper at Miss Prichard's home on Ridgely avenue. Miss Halsey talked to the girls about the New Member- ship Bases. After a discussion of it, a vote was taken and our Y. W. C. A. voted for the adoption of the new bases. By the diligent work of the Membership Committee many new mem- bers were received into the Association before the Christmas vacation. As is customary, the Christmas program was prepared and given by the Y. W. C. A-. A Christmas mantle and a Santa Claus, with gifts for everyone, was one of the surprises. The money-making affairs this year have been numerous. The girls did the catering at one of the spring parties. During the month of Decem- ber a box supper was held in the gym. When the Monongahela- Valley Basketball Tournament was held here in February the girls of the Y. W. C. A., under the direction of Miss Gaskill, of the Domestic Science depart- ment, served the tournament folks their meals. Thruout the year the girls have sold chocolate bars to the other students of the school. They have earned a considerable sum of money in these ways. Our Association has tried to promote friendliness, school spirit, and loyalty among the studentsg and, looking back over the school year, we feel that this aim has been accomplished. - EUPHA PRUNTY, Secretary.

SEV EN'I'Y-l l V E fviuhnnt ifnhg In 1911 the Student Body Constitution disappeared. For ten years, the Student Body as an organization has been drifting along over the paths of least resistance and was really not a definite organization. The first official act of the officers elected for the year 1920-21 was an attempt to make the Student Body a real organization with a definite pur- pose, by having a constitution by which the organization may be guided. A committee appointed by the president to draft a new constitution has placed this document in the hands of the Student Body officers and it is now ready for adoption. The Student Body publications are THE BULLETIN and THE MOUND. Both publications were discontinued during the war period, and were not revived until this year. The BULLETIN was formerly published in magazine form once a month, but it now appears in newspaper style, twice a month. This year is the first time THE MOUND, the school annual, has been published as a Student Body project, as it was formerly published by the Senior Classes. Q The Student Body this year gave three parties: The Fall and Spring receptions and the Hallowe'en party. These social affairs are controlled and financed by the Student Body, and are under the direction of the presi- dent and social chairman. In the matter of donations the Student Body this year has been espec- ially prominent. The sum of 33277.00 was contributed to the Child's Feed- ing Fund, in answer o the appeal made by Mr. Hoover through the Literary Digest. The organization also contributed to the European Relief the amount of 310825. These figures include faculty donations. Many other donations have been made through the various organizations within the Student Body. Altogether, the work of the Student Body this year has been very successful. By our revival of the old Student Body organizations and pub- lications, and our earnest work along every line we have paved the way for a better Student Body organization next year. f A EDYTHE HESS, '21.

This is just a revival of the Mozart society, that until a few years ago existed in the Fairmont Normal School since 1875. The Society this year has been a success. It has more than sixty wide-awake and talented members, who have used this talent to give many interesting programs, both musical and literary. Every Mozarter is proud to be one. This is shown in the ever loyal spirit of the members, the way they cheered and waved their colors in the winning Mozart-Lyceum bas- ketball game this season, and the zeal by which this society, with the cooperation of the Lyceum, staged the Minstrel, one of the biggest and best productions ever given in a Fair- mont School. The much-coveted silver wreath now hangs in Lyceum hall, but we have high hopes of bearing this token of victory and talent to the Mozart hall this spring after the inter- society contest.

Until 1872 there were no literary societies in the Normal School. In this year an organization was formed under the title of the Fairmont Normal Literary Society. The purpose of the society formed was for mutual improvement in rhetoric, composition, oratory, parliamentary usage, general mental culture, and vocal delivery. Mr. H. D. Clark was chosen as first president of this society. The programs consisted of essays, declamations, orations, and debates. At first no visitors were admitted except by vote of the society, and no ladies were admitted until November, 1875. The society met at first on Saturday afternoons, but in 1878 the time of meeting was changed to Fri- day night. This remained the meeting time until this present year when it was decided to change to Thursday night. The name of the society was changed to the Normal Lyceum on Jan- uary 30, 1875. The first public performance of the society was given June 13, 1874. The first contest between the Lyceum and Mozart societies was given on the night of June 16, 1875. Each year until 1919 a contest between the two societies' has been held and much friendly rivalry and interest have been shown. Society night during the commencement season has always attracted a great deal of at- tention. The alumni of the school always enjoyed coming back to attend the contests. The winning side always held a great celebration immediately following the contest. The silver wreath, which becomes the property of the winning society for the next year, has adorned the walls of the Lyceum hall more often than it has those of the Mozart, but the latter society has always put up a gallant fight for it. The wreath now hangs in the Lyceum hall, and we hope that it will be there at the beginning of another year. The conditions brought about by the war and the subsequent changes in the student body causedinterest in the literary societies to wane, and from 1919 to 1921 the societies were not organized and no contest was held. This year a few students, who were fortunate enough to have been here while the societies were a vital element in the school. felt it would be a good' idea to have the societies reorganized under the old names. Senti- ment was soon strong in favor of this. and with the approval of the faculty the work of reorganization was completed. A canvass of the school was made, giving each society a chance to get members. The Lyceum won in this, having secured several more members than the Mozart. The time of meeting was changed from Friday night to Thursday night, as we have so many non-resident students who go home for the week- ends. The meetings this year have been interesting and helpful. The so- cieties have met every two weeks, and once in a while joint meetings have been held. They do not conform exactly to the original purpose of the so- ciety, as more stress seems to be now laid on the musical side of the pro- grams. Both vocal and instrumental music are much in demand. Up until this year the contest has consisted of a debate, oration, and readin.g. It might be well to add a musical number this year, as this would be new and also give a little more variety to the contest. We feel the contest this year will rival all others for interest and en- S., '21. thusiasm, and of course the wreath will remain in Lyceum Hall. ' . S. A. EIGHTY Efhe lie-mirth nf llllnzart sinh Egreum Listen my readers, and you shall hear Of a great occurrence at Normal this year. It happened one morning, November sixteen Whcn a group of students both bright and keen Met and decided 'twas time to begin A revival of Mozart and old Lyceum. Mozart and Lyceum, as perhaps you may know, Were literary societies of long ago Who lived and thrived in F. S. N. S. And made things lively around here, I guess. But for some reasons, it's hard to tell what, A few years ago they died on the spot. Until now they had been resting quite well in peaceg But the time had come when this rest should cease. With steady efforts and interest profound The society traditions were searched for, and found. Then at ten o'clock one November morn Mozart and Lyceum were suddenly re-born. With efforts so great that 'tis hard to explain The Mozart and Lyceum spirits did gain And strive with the heart of each lad and lass In Mr. Barnes' ten o'clock English class. There was lots of struggle and fighting within As the spirit of each society tried to win. As the struggle was ended in each member's heart, There were nine for Lyceum and eleven for Mozart. Then with solemn faces fitting the time Each group met and formed itself into line. With officers the groups were made complete And Mozart and Lyceum were again on their feet. Suddenly in the quiet and intense hanging pall That is always prevalent in the Normal hall There arose a great shout with much feeling and vim, Lyceum! Lyceum! she always will win! Then closely following' there came the shrill call, Mozart! Mozart! which rang through the hall. Thus you can see two societies re-born All on a beautiful November morn. GLADYS M. WATKINS.

Qllyr Eliairnumt Nurnml Effrhnul Eilullviin I We feel proud ol' the rejuvenated Normal School Bulletin, be- lieving it to be one ol' the best school papers published in this state. We have aimed to make this strictly a school newspaper, pub- lishing' only the news that is connected with the school. This paper differs from the former issues ol' The Bulletin in that it is not a nfa,f.1'azine containing: stories. and other literary productions of the students but instead, it endeavors to lay before the students the activ- ities of the school. We believe that the work has been well done this year. With each publication we mail about four hundred copies to dilferent schools in West Virgrinia. Besides this we have a special mailing: list of a num- ber ol' alumni and other interested friends. We will always look back on the year ol' 1920-21 as one ol' the most successi'ul years in the publication ol' the Normal School Bulle- tin. EIGHTY-FOUR nrmal Evrinrr Glnurar The Normal Lecture Course was a success this year as it always has been in the past. The numbers this year were all worthy of praise and evegy season ticket holder received full value for the nominal price they pai . 1 1 Herbert Leon Cope opened the Course this year with a lecture full of the best kind of humor. The Leiter Light Opera Company was here No- vember eleventh with a program of Light Opera music which pleased the small but appreciative audience. Edwin M. Whitney, the great interpreter of modern plays, entertained the largest crowd the course drew all year with a reading of the play, Hit the Trail Holiday. This was Mr. Whit- ney's third appearance in Fairmont and it probably will not be the last. The Lilioquakalani Hawaiian Quartette made a favorable impression as the fourth attraction. Dr. Frank Bohn was scheduled to talk on subjects of world importance on February ninth, but it was impossible for him to be here and he sent his brother to fill the engagement. Sam Grathwell, a young man who worked his way through college and found a place in life, Wound up the program for 1921 with a lecture on Getting Rid of Your Hoodoo. Another excellent course has been arranged for next year. The at- tractions will appear in the order named: Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, a lecturer on modern questions, Sam Lewis Company, a musical company with Sam Lewis, the noted Welch tenor, Henry and Company, a magician and a sand painter, Tom Skeyhill, a lecturer. Mr. Skeyhill has the distinction of raising twenty-three million dollars in twenty-three minutes for the Red Cross. Roosevelt said of him once, I would rather speak on the same plat- form with Tom Skeyhill than any other man I know. Margaret Stall closes the 1922 season with a reading of the great play Abraham Lincoln.

EIGHTY-FI VE VVEST VIEW OF FIRST FLOGR CORRIDOR Uhr illitnatrrl The Normal Literary Societies presented, on the ninth and tenth of March, a minstrel- Oh Listen Here, which was a great success. Mr. Fred Doringer and Mr. Douglas Fleming were secured to produce it. Both Mr. Doringer and Mr. Fleming have had experience along this line and they trained the students. Mrs. Fleming directed the dancing. This minstrel was given in order to reduce the high cost of the Mound It was under the business management of Ernest L. Stewart. The minstrel opened with several selections of rag-time, by the Kiwanis Jazz Orchestra. Other numbers on the pro- gram were impersonations, fancy dancing, short, humorous sketches entitled Lost and Won and The Haunted House, and several gags given by the end men, besides many solos which were delivered in a very eEective manner. The chorus was made up of girls, all of whom were good singers. The minstrel as a whole showed much careful prepara- tion and plenty of pep. The audience was not as large as expected on Wednesday night, due, no doubt, to the bad weather. The house was well filled on Thursday night and the minstrel seemed to be very much enjoyed. In addition to reducing the cost of the Mound, the minstrel aiorded the participants much pleasure. Lunches were often served after practice and there was a social hour for all who wanted to remain.

Your kind editor has been writing to me ever since I left Fairmont and he has told me how you missed my enlightening articles in your paper. I am so glad. You know as the English would say I have been beastly bored and I have been longing for your approval of my written word. First I will tell you of some of the horrid manners' of the English peo- ple. You see I have already acquired some of the English words. In fact I 'write all my articles in English. ' During my stay in London, I was invited out to a dinner party that was given by the Duke of Devilshire or something and I accepted with great pleasure. I had read in one of the pictorial sections of the Sunday paper that the Duke had a most beautiful daughter and of course to prove it they had her picture right above what they said about her. She was some Jane. She had brown eyes and black hair. Well the whole picture looked sort of brown but that was just the color of the ink but she really did turn out to have brown eyes and black hair. The only trouble was, she was engaged to some Prince guy. Prince of Wails I believe. Well there is nothing like a little competition so I packs up my grip and bundles up my throat so as not to catch the grippe and sets out for the Devilshire Towers. After an hour or so on those toy trains that they have over there the conductor sticks his head in and says that this is where I get off. So I politely tells the lady whose child is sittin' on my grip that this is where I get oi and the child must also. She tries to argue a while but finally understands that what I mean is get off the grip and then she is all right and the kid gets off and then I get off the train. I hadn't been of the train very long when a bright looking young man stepped up to me and says, Are you Mr. Lardmore? Yes, I fires back at him, And who may you be? I am Prince Wails, says he. Which leaves me all in a sweat and sort of flabbergasted. The Prince is a good sport however and does not notice my grufi' man- ner. He merely guided me around to his car and we are on our way to the Devilshire Towers before I had time to talk and believe me that is some record. During the ride to the Towers the Prince gets real friendly and I find he is a real clever chappie, having ga remarkable knowledge of Amer- ican sports and ladies. I pumps him a little and soon has his full confidence. He tells me of his affair with the Duke's daughter and I listens to this dreadful tale of woe. ' It seems the Prince had met the young lady while he was in school at Oxford or some of the big schools. Anyway he was sorely smitten with her and he was sure that she was likewise. He had arranged to be in that sec- tion of the country since school was out and had become almost a member NINETY of the Duke's family. The big trouble now was that he was sure that the Duke wanted him to marry his daughter in order to get his money. As a finial fling the girl had refused to marry him because of her father's atti- tu e. In telling me all this it developed that I was the only one who had ever been told and it looked to me as if I was to be the goat. It was evidently my duty to persuade the lady to marry the Prince and forget about the QUOHEY. Cgfgougse tthe Prince was rich, the old man having kicked off leav- 1118 6 an is ig rother with quite a sum. All P ' ' - was the girl that was plain. mme Walls caled for All this information was given to me durin this ride to ' ' Towers and when I descended at the front doo? I felt like tl1?ltieD?1'i,vEc1l1ig4Zf enemy about to take theicandy from the baby. Almost simultaneous with our arrival was the gushing greeting we received by the Duke himself. The Way he come out shoutm' Hello and some more of those words-I thought hie was going to kiss me but he only shook my paw and offered me a swell cigarette. He -said it was imported. I think it was a Camel. Of course he doesn't slight the Prince. He greeted him as if he was his lost son although he had seen him but an hour before. He was after the monev that was Sure. He must have seen my boiled front and took me for a banker other- wise Iiwould have been out in the cold as far as his hospitality was con- cerne . We all went in the house or one of the Towers although I didn't see any towers, and smoked those wonderful cigarettes. The Duke kept tell- ing about America and all the time displaying a wonderful ignorance. Pretty soon we hear a light tripping on the stairs or somewhere and in hops or runs or glides, I don't know which, the sweetest little girl I ever seen. Oh Boy! She was just like her picture and I knew right away I would have a hard time persuading her to marry the Prince when I was right there and eligible myself. I was of course correctly introduced and I wished I was in France then cause I wanted to kiss her hand but I didn't and had to be satisfied with merely touching it. Well, the conversation went on and I told them some funny stories in my clever way and they all brought a laugh from the company. It seemed I was the center of amusement so I told them of my trip to the South Sea Islands where I was castaway for five years. Of course the girl, whose name developed to be Gwendolyne shortened to Gwen, asked what did I eat during my five years while castaway. Then I had to explain how I was sailing on a steamer loaded with cigarette papers and how enough of these papers which are made of rice was washed ashore so that I could have enough to plant and thus I had plenty of rice to live on while castaway. About this time the big guy with the nice hair around the sides and the stiff up in the air walk, walked in and announces that the dinner is ready and we all make a rush for a good place where we can have a good elbow room and plenty of reaching distance. It so happened that found myself ft th t le sitting beween Gwen and her Pa. As soon as we are a er e s rugg I all well seated Pa gets up and suggests that we all drink to my health. Well h ll lau h. After drinking sev they all gets up and so does I and then ey a g - eral glasses of the Duke's very fine wine I loosens.up and tells them the story about how I won the International Snip Huntin' contest. I makes a great hit with that one and was well into another one when they serves us the second course which must be a short order from the looks of what I got on my dish. It don't take me long to eat.1t and. so I continues with my Other story which is about my experiences 1n Africa tamlng the .Jazz In- dians. Well it isn't long before the dinner is over, lishould have said lunch. We then goes into the drawing room and chews the end of a COL1D10.0f C1gaY'S to stay our appetites till the next lunch. The Prince ain t been saying much ' NINETY-ONE till now and he begins talking politics which I don't understand and Gwen has a look of digust on her face so I invites her to sit with me in the swing on the porch. My idea was to persuade her to rush in and fall on the Prince's neck and tell him she will fly with him at once. It takes me some time to get started but soon I was on the royal road and was slinging her all the big words I knew and how any man could love her and how I had fallen in love from just looking at her picture. I then told her what a good man the Prince was and how devoted he was and all about him. I expected she knew it all but it wouldn't hurt her to hear it again. Just when I was about half through with this elaborate recital of the Prince's merits, she looks at me and says, What are you talking about? Your lover of course, I replied, and then she laughs in a sweet high key. Why I have never been in love, except- and then she blushes beautifully. ' I being the self assumed matchmaker wants a full understanding of the case. It develops that she is the wrong sister and that it is her other sister that the Prince is smitten with. This other sister was pleading a headache and could not come to the party. I was perfectly satisfied with iclhat part of it but now I wanted to know about that other love affair of ers. She looked at me in surprise, blushing again in her most beautiful manner, Don't you know? she says. And right there I sees it all. She has just the same as told me to speak for myself, John. Well I wastes no time and asks her in gentle tones to be my one woman and she falls on my neck instead of the Prince's. This other sister is still desperately in love with the Prince as I learns from Gwen. I transports the new.s to the Prince and thus we have three light hearted people in the party. The old Duke still shows his liking for the money but nobody cares now and as soon as the Prince is married to his other daughter he will be happy too. We Americans don't waste time. so it wasn't long until I was sailing home with my brand new bride. Perhaps Mrs. Ching will tell you a few things some day. r x4 IX? hp 41:54 ' .6 if, ,uf-N '+Z :'1eP . . , , N glbx NINETY-TWO I S1521 H.L'R.L'EINlN THE LIBRARY Nu mnnhrr Hi, there!

He kindly assented-as a gentleman should, The way led them thru a dark lonely wood. Ho! ho! thot the maid, I'll tease him a while And she turned upon him with a villainous smile. Young sir, do you know why I've brot you out here From the bright cheery sunshine to this Forest so dear? ' The youth, somewhat startled by her dangerous mien Yet managed to grin-altho faint he did seem, Please tell me, he whispered in a voice of emotion I haven't the very remotingest notion. Well, sir, she thrillingly whispered quite low, Why I.brot you out here-I'm sure I don't know. The youth then assumed a masterly air, He looked very grand-so tall and so fair, Perhaps not, my dear girl-but I'm sure that I do. He held out his arms- I leave the rest to you. E. L. S., '22, NINETY-Foun An Jlnrihrnt in ai Elumhrr Qlamp The log train whistled and slowly drew to a standstill. I climbed down from the caboose. So this is Camp Five, I said. It was located in the folds of a mountain, on every side of which arose majestic peaks, heavily wooded with spruce, hemlock and hardwood. A creek wound its way down the ravine. On each side of the railroad we1'e huge piles of logs. A few men on the platform to receive the supplies eyed me keenly but greeted me kindly. The cook seemed to rgard me as a motherless chick and took me under his protecting wing. I presently found myself in a dining room toasting my benumbed body. A few minutes later my sense of comfort was increased by a slab of pork sandwiched in a biscuit and a huge triangle of pie, all of which I washed down my esophegus with a steaming cup of coffee, to my intense satisfaction. The cook told me it would be three hours until the men returned and asked me to make myself comfortable. Acting on his suggestion I utilized the time in getting fa- miliar with the camp and its surroundings. It was a typical lumber camp, with a very large, rudely-constructed two-story building about eighty by thirty feet. The first floor contained three separate compartments. The entrance was into the lobby. In this were a number of stools, boxes, and a barrel of water into which the men dipped the basin for water to wash. There was a sink to carry off the waste water. In the center of the room was a large heating stove in which a blazing fire roared. The dining room was equipped with two large tables running the entire length of the room, on either side of which were benches which when not in use were shoved under the tables. Seventy men, daily were served at these tables. The kitchen was a spacious room in which were an immense stove, two tables, a commodious sink, and a wood box. Stacks of dishes were piled on the draing on the wall near the stove hung all sorts and descriptions of' cook untensils. To the left of the entrance was an open stairway built against the wall with the other side unprotected. The second story contained one large sleeping room in which was a row of beds along each side wall and two rows of beds running through the cen- ter of it. At each end was a window and at each side there were two. Here and there, scattered about the room were trunks and suit cases, while clothing was suspended from the cross-beams and the ceiling. I noticed several buildings-a blacksmith shop, a commissary, a meat house and a big barn in which the thirty-two horses were stabled. Some of these noble animals were bays, some grays and some blacks. Their sleek glossy coats and plump bodies gave evidence of good care and generous feeding. A number of hogs roamed at large about the barn-yard and some hens were in the hay-mow digging industriously for seed. It was five o'clock when the men began to collect in the lobby, by twos, threes, and half-dozens. There was a loud stamping of snow from their feet, while they removed their wet coats, mittens, arctics and leggings, hanging them to dry on pegs about the room. All were warming and wash- ing their faces preparatory to the evening meal. At first little was said, but as they began to thaw out, there was lots of good natured jollity. Mysterious Sam, who held himself aloof from the other men and who was regarded as an object of curiosity, gruffly related the difficulty he had encountered when his horses were pulled over the log dumpg whereupon he was told by Jack the Knowsit-all that he had been re- minded before if he didn't stop using that swamp hook that that very thing NINETY-FIVE would happen. Just then the supper bell rang. It had an electric effect upon the men for they crowded into the dining room and found their places. The table W3.S'g1'0fi.1'11I'lg: beneath its load of roast beef, potatoes, beans, cabbage, hot biscuits, pie, cake, pickles, butter, and molasses. ' They passed the chawk water, spuds, cow, salve, punk and .Iava. By close observation I learned these names were substitutes for milk, potatoes, beef, butter, bread, and coffee. The conversation was rather general. One jovial, good- natured fellow called to the lad seated at his left to whom nature had bequeathed a nose of unusual proportions, Nosey, move your head so I can see what is on the table at the other end. A group at another part of the table was discussing the Spanish-American War, while others were talking of home . As usual, Sam the was known only as Sami took no part in the discussion. His taciturnity had become proverbial, and he was regarded by his fellows as an unsocial creature hav- ing some grievance against human kind. Sometimes, however, when a child would happen to be in camp, Sam's attitude would change. He smiled oc- casionally and a tear at times would come to his eye. When supper was over Sam with some others filed into the lobby, others to the barn to care for the horses, and some to bed. In the lobby some lively airs issued forth from the throat of a violin and banjo. Pat, the only son of Erin in the camp, danced some jigs and sang some favorite Irish melodies. Sam sat aloof as usual watching morosely a game of cards. In the kitchen there was a jingling of dishes and pans, as the cook cleared the table, washed the dishes and prepared the kitchen for breakfast. I went out to the spring to get some water for the cook. It was a zero night. I shivered and drew my coat closely about my neck. There was no moon and the darkness was so dense I could feel it, while the wind moaned a mel- ancholy wail as it whistled through the trees, and here and there, the timber cracked from the frost and the cold. The cookee showed me the bunk upon which I was to sleep. By ten every one was in bed with a sense of comfort and security. About four o'clock, I awakened from my sleep by the cry of Fire! Fire! Fire! Instantly I aroused the fellows next to my bunk and yelled Fire! Some one tried to strike matches but they would not burn. My eyes smarted, the smoke almost suffocated me, there was a shuffle of feet toward me. I jerked out the window with my hands, the glass Hying in every di- rection and was climbing over me. Loosening my hold, I fell to the ground, stunned from the fall, sick from the smoke, may hands bleeding and the skin erased from my knee down, yet with unbroken bones. Some one grab- bed me and dragged- me to safety. I revived and opened my eyes. Some victims, who had come to the stairway, where they had been overcome by smoke and pitched headlong, were being carried to safety. By this time the building was ablaze from top to bottom. A son call- ed piteously to his father for help. Help seemed impossibleg but while two men held the father to keep him from rushing madly into the fiames, Sam, the mysterious, threw himself into the midst of the smoke and flames. In a few moments he reappeared, bearing the body of the unconscious boy. The situation was desperate. Men were bewilderedg but Sam, whose hair, hands, face and sleeping garments were seared and burned, remained cool and collected. He commanded the men to carry water to save the barn, to remove the blankets from the horses, and wrap them about the shivering bodies of the men who had secured no clothes in their escape. When this supply was exhausted, he had the men carried to the hay-mow and covered with hay. In less than thirty minutes the fire had wrought its havoc, the malig- nant ilames leaped into the air, then vanished later to revive. I fancied I ' NINETY-six could see the faces of the victims in the Hames pleading for rescue, for even Sam's courage and alacrity could not save all. Seven charred, unrecognizable bodies were taken from the ruins and placed in boxes. Pat, who was very large, was identified by his sizeg Joe, by his silver watch: Jack's pipe told who he was, and Andy was identified by a ring he woreg three others were recognized merely by the position of the beds in which they slept. . A message was sent to the nearest camp some four miles away, and intelligence of the conflagration was sent to the nearest town eighteen miles away. In response relief came about eight o'clock in the morning in the way of food and what clothes could be gathered up, from Camp Four. Only sick, sad, tear-stained faces greeted my eyes. Some were almost frozen, others were badly burned in attempts to rescue, while all were silent and down-cast. At noon the train arrivedg men were carried to it wrapped in blankets. Some had on odd shoes, trousers that were too long or too short, some were bare-headed, while others had their heads covered with make- shifts. Several had feed sacks tied on their legs, which served as socks, shoes and pantaloons. The day was bitter coldg snow had pelted down since seven o'clock and spread a blanket over the horrid scene, save the camp which as yet was smoldering. The whistle blew a melancholy note and the train carrying it's human cargo of sorrow and death wound its way slowly down the ravine. Sam, who had showed a presence of mind that was remarkable as his air of mystery was unfathomable, remained with the survivors to care for the horses and re-construct the camp. He was seized by the men, raised to their shoulders and carried to the Commissary where they overwhelmed him with gratitude. He was a hero and daily grew in esteem. Whether it was the softening influence of his own heroism during the great fire or whether it was the mellowing touch of time, Sam one day re- vealed to me the tragedy of his past. In a drunken fit he had killed his only son and the mother had died of grief. Sam, not as a refugee from justice but in the hope of escaping his terrible remorse fled from the scene of the tragedy and took up his life anew in the pioneer campof the great north- west. NINETY-SEVEN .-g-.--gg-.x -Q-.Q-........J Uhr Eallumifrn lgarig The Hallowe'en party given in October by the student body was one of the most delightful social events of the fall term. Probably .the unusually large attendance of the faculty and student body was responsible to 9. great extent for the spirit of friendliness and informality. The Gymnasium was the scene of such mirth and jollity as it seldom sees. Those in attendance were costumed as jolly clowns, shepherdesses, country jokes and immi- grants. Among the evening's diversions were such favorites as: Farmer in the Dell, Strip the Willow, Square Dances and fortune- telling. Miss Dowd and Mr. Barnes proved themselves adepts at the art of square danc- ing. Miss Toivonen with her cards was easily the most popular fortune- teller. Refreshments consisting of doughnuts and cider, were served. The climax of this happy evening came when Mr. Johnson appeared with his camera to take our pictures in festive attire. Qlhr Bluninr unh Svrninr illereqatinn The annual Junior and Senior reception was held October the eighth. It was one of the brilliant social events of the year, and was looked forward to by both students and faculty. The reception was held in the Normal School building. The rooms were beautifully decorated with the autumn colors. Several kinds of amusements were indulged in, but dancing was the chief feature of the evening. Delicious refreshments were served at a late hour. The event was well attended by the student body and faculty. NINETY-EIGHT Uhr Spring Illvreptinn Friday evening, April 22, the annual spring reception was given in honor of the new spring students. The affair was voted by all the most enjoyable party of this year. The study hall and the library were completely renovated into one big room, where the students and their guests enjoyed cards, other games, and dancing. A feature game of the evening was an advertisement guessing contest. On the walls were twenty advertisements. The names of the advertisers had been clipped off and the idea was to guess all of the advertisements you could. Miss Ruth Shough guessed fourteen out of the possible twenty and a large box, presumably candy, was presented to her. A booby prize was also given. Two or three tied for this prize. It is not known who won the little torn which was given, but it is enough to say that Miss Prichard was one who was tied for that honorable position. Another big feature of the reception was the refresh- ments. On the second floor sandwiches and coHee were served. Many visitors were present. 423- 1 -eg?-22:2 NINETY-NINE GSIIIUNHH CPINO I f -,-. -'y ,vN.A ...Nl M W. .

Athlriirz At the beginning of the year the Athletic Association decided to stick as close to the constitution as possible. For a few years after the war it was impossible to stick to the letter of the law as laid down by the constitution. There were very few boys in the school and those that were here did not have much time for Athletics. This year we had a larger number of boys from which to select our various teams. We have succeeded in sticking to the spirit of the constitution. This has caused us to lose a great many games, as our boys are all small and for the most part rather inexperienced. Even with this handicap we have had the support of the student body and faculty more than ever before. A girls' basketball team was organized this year which was also run strictly according to the constitution. They had much better luck than the boys and bid fair to become the state champions. Both of the teams and the Athletic Association are looking forward to the day when -the stand that has been taken this year will bear fruits and the Normal will stand for something big in the athletic world of West Virginia. We feel sure that this will never be unless the constitu- tion or one similar is set up and followed. Now that the at- tendance is getting larger, we feel that this can, and will be done in the future. ONE HUNDRED' TWO Aihlviir Ammriatinll President ............

' ONE IIUNDRICD 'FOUR 'Hinge' ifzmkrt Ball Basketball in the Normal School for the season of 1920- 21 could hardly be called a success. Because of the lack of experienced material, Coach Toothman could not produce a first class team, one that could successfully compete with college teams. There was, however, no lack of interest on the part of the boys, many of whom had never played on any regular team before. All winter athletics in Fairmont were particularly lax this year because of the evangelistic services held here. The boys who were on the Normal team deserve a good deal of credit, not for what they accomplish- ed, but for the valiant efforts they made. Most of them stuck by the team the whole season and practiced regularly. Leonard Romino deserves special mention because he was undoubtedly the best man on the team. He is a grad- uate of Fairniont High School and was a member of their regular team. He played forward. Henry Ferguson and Garret Hunt likewise deserve much credit for the excellent service they rendered as guards. Seldon Dean, also a grad- uate of Fairmont High School, played center in a creditable manner. Clark Brown brought much honor to himself as a forward. The trusty and faithful subs, Hall, Giffin, Dur- rett, Stewart, Tarleton, Knight, and McCray all of whom received the Normal Basketball trophy, should be given much credit for the excellent practices they gave the regu- lars. awtsii i ONE HUNDRED FIVE TOP ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT-WSTEWART, HUNTQ MIDDLE ROW LEFT TO RIGHT---DEAN.

Some restrictions which have proven quite satisfactory, were enforced by a committee of students and teachers. We were allowed a game every two weeks, which meant about six in all. Five of tho.se have been played, four having been Won. The other one will be played soon. ' Two Senior girls took half of their teacher training by having a class in basketball each. These classes began after the first nine weeks of school. Much interest was shown in them from the first, and they were quite a large factor in developing the team. Then the second semester Miss Tio- vonen formed a class. Never were mortals happier or more surprised than when we journeyed down to Salem and won the first game. It didn't seem possible that we could ever amount to anything in the athletic world and in fact we hadn't hoped to. We didn't stop with that one victory but came home and plunged into practice harder than ever with zeal. We never knew what to expect from other teams, as girls' teams are not so popular yetg that made the games even more thrilling. It seems we have the habit of not playing our best until the last of the game. Our floor is so large and we always have such good practices every day and for such long periods that we are all good for long hard playing. Every girl on the team is right up to the minute in health, which is a strong force in a team. Every one says we could have and should have won the game we lost at Elkins. They say we didn't want to win and just thought they'd beat us and we didn't half try. I don't know whether that was the reason or not, but I know that a lot is in the team's attitude. Once when time out was called during that game there was just a minue and a half to play. The score stood 15-22, favoring D. gl E. Well, an electric current must have passed thru all of us, for we played like mad. Two field goals were made, then the whistle blew. I thought of what Billy Sunday had said about Queen Elizabeth, who had three hundred thousand dresses and all the other things queens have, who said when dy- ing All my possessions for a moment of time. I thought what wouldn't I give for' just a few more minutes! All I can advocate to remedy such things is to increase the playing timeg fifteen minutes seems like about three when one is playing. Our next game after this was with Wesleyan and we determined to play from the start. And play we did as We had never before. The first half ended 9-2 in our favor. The visitors played better in the second half but couldn't make up what they had already lost. Every one liked the Lyceum-Mozart game and the J unior-Senior game. There was quite a bit of competition and much school spirit was shown. We always get a lot of pleasure out of the regular games but I must say that it is hard to beat the genuine good times we have in our basketball classes. Four of the six on the regular team are Seniors but that's not say- ing there won't be anyone left for a team next. year. There are plenty of Juniors who are good players. Almost every.h1gh school has a girls' team now and there will be many good players coming ,in next year. Here's hop- ing they keep up and surpass the good record the team made in 1921. ONE HUNDRED NINE lierannal mritvupa 1. ZARA GARRETT, Captain. CForwardJ. I ' Zara has proved to us that she is very capable of holding her position as captain. Without.Zara we would not have been able to win the games we have won. She led in the scoring both years that she has been with us. Without a doubt she is the surest shot in the state. 2. RUTH FEATHER, Manager. fGuardJ. Ruth is a strong and clever player. She can hold her end of the fioor down very well. For guarding the basket and clever passes she cannot be beat. From the games that were scheduled this year we can see that she has been a good manager. Ruth can also fill a referce's place. She has refereed several games out of town during the sea- SOD. 3. MARY STURM. fGuardJ. Mary is a sn'all and serious minded girl. She may seem to be too small to guard, but you can never go by the size. Her guarding has been of the best type. She can also fill the position as forward very well. 4. MARY TURKOVICH. fForwardJ. Last year Turk played guard but this year she switched to forward. She has proved to be capable of holding her position. She is not a very accurate shot, but at team work she cannot be excelled. Sne will be here next year to be depended upon. 5. ISABELLA TABLER. fCenterJ. Issy gets the tip-off almost every time, which helps along in the game. She can play over the fioor exceedingly well. Her shooting has been very good. Issy is an- other player who will be greatly depended upon next year. 7. MARY PARRILL. CForwardJ. Mary has ever been on the job. She cannot be excelled on the foul shot. Although she has not appeared on the floor very often this year, she will probably hold a perma- nent position next year. 8. EDYTHE HESS. fSide Centerj. Edythe has not appeared on the floor very often this year because she has been giving most of her time to refereemg out of town games. 9. DAISY CROSS. CGuardJ. Daisy came to us in the latter part of the season. She is an excellent player and fills the position as guard very well. 10. LUCIIJLE GUNDLACH. fSide Centerj. 'mnarera nf IH. Sv. N. Ev.

ONE HUNDRED TWELVE The people attending the tournament were also well taken care of. They could get their meals at the Y. W. C. A. Lunch Room, and, as they had very little time between sessions, they had just about time to eat and get back to the gym before the next session. The Boy Scouts sold candy, pop, and other refreshments, and the Nor- mal Y. W. C. A. girls sold candy, so the crowds were well provided with re- freshments during the games. .The Wadestown team showed great skill in team work and stayed in until they met Buckhannon in the semi-finals. Elkins showed they had the push. in them. They had one of their men put out, which unnerved them a little, but with Captain Brown urging them on, they put up a good fight against Buckhannon. With Morris in as forward Fairmont gained a victory from Fairview, a long rival of this team. Morris was the only one making a score during the game. All the other teams showed great skill in their playing. Buckhannon proved true to everybody's expectations by coming out on the top after defeating Wadestown in the semi-finals and Fairmont in the finals. Many of the individual prizes given went to boys of the Fairmont High School. The prize given for the best shooter of fouls in the tournament went to Minter of Victory, his record being eight fouls out of eight chances. Troxell of Fairmont won the prize for the greatest number of field baskets in any one game, getting 10 field baskets in one game. Troxell also got the prize for the most field baskets of the tournament, getting 19, with Morris of Fairmont, second with 18. Troxell carried away his third individual prize for .scoring the most points in the tournament, which was 54, Morris of Fairmont was second with 53. Troxell and Morris were tied for scoring the most points in any one game, which was 21. This proves Troxell and Morris the heroes of the tournament. V. R. H.

It is the center of student activities among which are numbered basketball, tennis, games, hikes and other sports. The atmosphere in and around the gymnasium is one of good cheer and many a happy and useful hour has been spent there. Many of the lessons of true sportsmanship, self-confidence and co-operation with others that we have learned will help us to guide our future. 2.

His thought was an election Of the prettiest and the best. Of course his mind was set on Having Mary lead the rest. And so he quite persuaded them, The Mound Stafl' in their glory, But let us turn the stanzas back, Wc're straying from our story. Young Hall passed out the ballots, And collected them, it's t1'ue, But he was just as honest, As even I and you. There's Ervin proved most popular, And Gundlach, swellest looker, With Issy Tabler coming next, Some votes, they must have took 'er. ' Then Hall himself, among the girls, Was said to look the nicest. 'Tis true he has a pretty face But he is not precisest. Toivonen as a teacher Completely swamped the others. And loving sole, Jo Maple, We are, everyone, her brothers. There's Old Dominion Ferguson Was third to be best looking, I'm sure 'twas not his looks so much As was his manner, tooking. Now then I think I've covered all, But if not please pray for me, For then, as sure as teachers talk, Some persons will lay for me. ONE HUNDRED SIXTEEN PUSH BALI, TN 'PHE GYM ON IC ll UN DRICD SI'1Vl'lN'l'I'IEN THE WHEELBARROVV ACT Aa Elhrg will Applg Fairmont, W. Va. June 1, 1921. Principle of Blank School, My Dear Mr. Jones: I am a young woman of reasonable age and I don't contemplate mar- riage. I do however wish to teach school and I would particularly like to teach in your school. I like to teach, having had a day's experience substi- tuting. I rind that I can amuse the students very well and I believe that the sense of humor is paramount in the teaching of a child. I have been ably instructed in phychology by Professor Shreve and I assure you that I will introduce some of the same methods of teaching, such as the vision tests, the tests for color blindness and the motivation of the recitation. As to me personally, I am young, and the men at the Normal have often called me pretty. I assure you that I do not smoke cigarettes, and I use so little powder that it can hardly be noticed. As for rouge, I abhor it. My habits are good and I get up at unearthly hours ln the morning- if I feel like it. I seldom stay up later than eight o'clock. I am a good worker and I believe strongly in the use of moving pictures as an educa- tional department in the school. I hope you will give me this position for I should dearly love to teach your darling children and I feel it will be such an inspiration to work with you. Mr. Barnes said that I should send to but one school at a time and I am following his advice. I am having five hundred copies of this letter made because you never can tell how other people are going to take one. I feel sure you will take me and I am waiting expectantly for your reply. Have no fears as to my ability. Any number of the Normal children can convince you of my teaching prowess. Hopefully yours, MARY JANE SMITH. pf illllllll ulllllllujl lll lll EW lg ' . M 9-ty ONE HUNDRED NINETEEN I A-z OUR GYMNASIUM oNE HUNDRED TWENTY Eluninr Gilman Iirnphrag O thou, Tyche, in whose divine hands are the fates of mortal men, I pray thee, draw aside the dusky curtains that conceal the future of the Junior class of the F. S. N. S. I implore thee to open thy portals to your mysterious realms and allow me to see thy arts, in order that I may prophesy with accuracy. Inspire me with thine power. Just think how far we are from home, said Clalie as we both were comfortably seated on the boat. We have traveled now for four davs and haven't seen any of our old schoolmates. Just as she said this I noticed someone looking at us, so I said, Look there! Who's that ? To our as- tonishment it was Frances McCray. As soon as she recognized us she came over and made herself known saying that she was going to Paris to study Art. We were somewhat surprised because Frances didn't seem to care 'much for art when we went to school together. I noticed that she was car- rying some papers and magazines. As soon as I saw them I aimlessly grab- bed hoping I could hit upon some home news. To my surprise there was a Fairmont paper. Clalie came up and politely turned the front page to the society column. What do you suppose we saw? I don't like to keep you in suspense so I will tell you. It was an announcement of Ethelyn Ice's marriage of April 17. And to think we didn't get to attend it! Having finished this account I was about to lay aside the paper when something in another column attracted my attention: Ruth Eliason, a noted pianist, will accompany Josephine Maple, an accomplished singer this evening at the Grand in New York. I noted this with interest but just then Frances said, Oh! girls did you know that Irene Tetrick had a lVarinello Shop at Forbes and Atwood streets, Pittsburgh? She has been there for a year or so but she is to be married in June, so I guess she will reside in Clarksburg. I turned to the advertisements and in large letters I read Special Lessons in Cicero. I don't know what made me read the rest of the ad but I did. Very well do I remember how I hated Latin when I took it. Guess whose name was signed at the bottom-a girl whose nickname had been Cicero, Anna Lewis! And to think she was giving Cicero lessons! What a coincidence. While glancing over the bottom of the sheet I perceived another adver- A th R b'ns n Grand Tod tisement that interest me somewhat: l t e o 1. o ay.. Isabella Tabler, Genevieve Hess and Lucille Gundlach in The Triangle. By this time I was beginning to think that our home paper bv some rare coincidence was nothing but a history of the Junior class of F. S. N. S. It was a pleasure to read all this news for I hadn't been to Fairmont for two years. I had spent all my time taking vocal lessons from Prof. Wether- spoon in New York. Just as I had completed my music I received a letter from Clalie telling me that she was going to France. In a few days she arrived in New York already to sail. I decided that I would go with her so I packed my clothes, anxious of course, that I would hear all the news on our journey. After a fortnight of sailing we land at Brest. We walked proudly up the street and over a door hung this .sign Brest Service Co. As we pass- . ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE ed by we saw a man leaning over the counter . At first we didn't recognize Ilgm lblut after walking several blocks we remembered that it was Albert nig t. After spending a day in Brest we went to Paris. There we saw a large bronze tablet made in honor of the boys who died in defense of their coun- try at the battle of Hill No. 72. Among the names that were of interest to me were: Paul McCray, Lazier McGee, Leonard Romino, Thomas Springer and Jennings Criss. Tears of sorrow rolled down my cheek as I recalled their noble faces. Poor souls! They're gone. But alas their names are wreathed with glory. At Paris we left Frances and went to Nice. We spent a great deal of our time sight seeing. As we passed through the business section of Nice we saw large posters. On these were printed See the Black Faced Come- dians, Also Fancy Dancing. After recalling how Sutton Sharp, Linn Hall and Sam Rock had performed for us in a minstrel We decided to see this, thinking it would refresh our memories of them. After securing seats we anxiously waited for the performance to begin. At last they appeared. One said Sam remember that time I called-Then some one else inter- rupted, saying, Yes, Sutton, I know, and still another said, Oh girls listen to me. I knew at once that these three fellows were Sutton, Linn and Sam. After the intermission three girls came out on the stage and did some fancy dancing. I recognized them as Edith Hite, Willa Collins and Virginia Lough, three of our classmates. We could hardly believe our eyes when on leaving the theatre a man approached us smiling-here it was Ernest Stewart. He was the manager of this entertainment troupe. How funny-manager again! After spending several days in Nice we returned to Paris, then to Brest, and a day later sailed for home. A fortnight later I was home tell- ing my friends all about my trip and about seeing such a great number of the F. S. N. S. alumni of 1922. ' PAULINE BOGGESS. xv!

' ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-THREE To Henry Ferguson, Editor-in-Chief of the Mound, a great deal of credit is due. When our staff became languid, which it did at times, his constant effort kept thing from lagging, and too much praise can not be given to him. He was always found at his desk in the Mound and Bulletin office pounding on his typewriter with his own system of Hunt 'em and Hit 'em. As a whole the staff worked very earnestly, but of course as in the case of every staE, there were a few who shirked their work. To the students in the various English classes who contributed stories and articles to the staff we take this opportunity to extend our apprecia- tion. Mr. Sharp of the Bulletin was a great help to us. He, besides contrib- uting his Ching W Lardmore story, wrote several articles and helped us make our dummy of this book. He has had experience in this line, having been editor of last year's Fairmont High School annual. A feature of this issue is the number of pictures of our building. These pictures will be of interest to high school students and may influence them to come here. We hope the readers of this book will find as much pleasure in reading our work as we found in compiling it and we present this book for your approval. I U LINN V. HALL, Asst. Editor-in-Chief. The manager of an annual experiences great difficulties, and at times even faces problems in connection with different phases of the work, but since those upon whom the manager had to depend lightened these difficul- ties, a word of appreciation is gladly extended. To the Fairmont Printing Company, we are indebted for the prompt service and excellent work rendered. They also gave us great assistance along the line of editing, without which, our book might not have been what it is. The Canton Engraving Company has done excellent work on our en- gravings, and have always been very prompt in returning them. Mr. Johnson, the photographer, has done his best to produce good photographs of every one, and we must say he has accomplished his aim. Since we had no' advertising this year, we have received a donation from the State, without which we would have been hard pressed for funds, and for which the school as a whole is very grateful. I Last, but not least, we wish to express our thanks to the members of the faculty, from whom great assistance was received. Mr. Lively has dis- played great managing ability, without which our financial condition might have been more of a question. Mr. Barnes very faithfully managed the lit- erary part of the book, for which we are duly appreciative. To each we are equally thankful, since it would have been almost im- possible to publish the Mound this year without their assistance. CLALIE ERVIN, Business Manager. ' ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FOUR. .
