PUBLISHED BY THE STU- Ty fhO-DY OF FAIRMONT STATE TEACH- - .ik etfXEGE, FAIRMONT, WEST VIRGINIA. PRESENTATION A year in Fairmont College is over. Silently it has disappeared in the endless corridors of time. Time that unobtrusively ran its course through September . . . De- cember . . . March . . . June. Summer ended; fall descended. The brittle spearing air became metallic, hard and spar- kling as jewels. Winter. The buildings clothed in white. Again the scene changes: rain; a birds nest above an en- trance way; the wind ' s touch, a caress. Dusk ... the set- ting of the sun . . . June. A year in Fairmont college is over, gone. When, in the fall, work was begun on this yearbook the Mound Staff cast about in their minds for a new, original manner in which to present the year of one thousand nine hundred thirty-nine. The solution to the problem was discovered in the element of time, its flight. It was decided that the year of ' 39 would be presented to you just as it happened in its chronological passage. It is the earnest desire of the staff that each student, leafing through these pages, will be able to identify his own activities successively, month by month, as they fit into the pattern of the entire year. Place yourself, if you will, in the position of a newcomer to the college. Every- thing is new, strange. Successively he becomes acquainted with the campus, the faculty, the student government. On Dad ' s Day he be- comes fully conscious of the Sophomore class. During Hell Week , the fraternities. The 1939 Mound, then, is a chronological record of a full year at Fairmont State College, as it might appear through the eyes of a Freshman who has just passed through it.

Yesterday they doffed their caps and gowns; today they are, again, beginners. Pausing on the steps for a moment, their eyes traveling the length of the great columns, they envision, behind the huge facade, a new life, new hope, and the fulfill- ment of a great many of their ambitions. What great expectations they have for what is to come! And Six D EDICAT ' ON . . . four years later they again appear, frocked in graduation caps and gowns. Below them lies the city, and the entire world. New vistas, fresh horizons are theirs. Again they are beginners, this time at a life far more complex than the one they are just leaving. Behind them they leave a world of formals, cram sessions and textbooks for the struggle to find their place beyond the clouds in the world of today. It is to you, the freshmen of this year and years to come, that we respectfully dedicate this volume. , Our college campus is the stage upon which the freshmen, taking his cue, mounts. The stage itself is made up of many parts: the Administration build- ing, in which he plays his largest role; the Science Hall, of which the Social room is a part; Rosier Knob, scene of many a thrilling football struggle; the Gymnasium; and of course, Marrow Hall, girls dormitory. The stage is set ; the curtain begins to rise. The play has begun. i - Ma k ik r ji in pi II in ins:) 11 1- an n i  • !f Pf 1l II «f i al« « 1 1 •  f i li 11 ti : - Jl ii 111 ff ii if • rtfni it $ • « ZTie ScfrooZ A f Night Morrow Hall Science Hall Approach to the Administration Building The Library The Campus Now that the rigors of registration are over, the turmoil of things settle slightly.

The first and highest authority in the college is the president, Dr. Rosier. When all other sources of authority fail it is to him that one must appeal on any subject pertaining to the activities on the campus. The next group, serving in double capacity, is the Deans, Dean of Instruc- tion, Dean of Men, and Dean of Women. They serve not only in their official status as Deans, but also as instructors. The faculty comprises the third group in this administrative pyramid. They reign supreme, emperors, over the class rooms. The fourth group which aids in keeping this college running smoothly is the office force. An integral part of the whole, they handle the statistics and all of the office work. The last, but by no means the least important is the Student Council. This student-elected group attends to all of the affairs of the students. Together these five closely related groups rule the destinies of the students and of the college.

It was in- augurated in November, nineteen hundred and seven, and since that time has steadily grown stronger and more efficient in its functioning. The student government has encouraged a close co-operation with the administration and faculty, a higher degree of self-sufficiency and a manifestation of authoritative interest. Twenty-seven SEPT. 13-REGISTRATION DAY- FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS Jack Hutchinson President Tau Beta Iota Charles Anderson Secretary-Treasurer Nu Alpha Phi Robert Robey Vice-President This year another group of freshmen entered into the activities of Fairmont State College with a great deal of zeal that is somehow char- acteristic of Freshmen classes at F.S.T.C. The time was short indeed until they made them- selves known in every phase of college life; in major athletics as well as in social fraternities and classes. Early in the year the class elected officers, and in a short time became an important, well or- ganized group. An easily adapted class, they performed all the functions expected of them ; they gave an assembly program, performed on a radio program, and gave a banquet and dance. Later in the year they entered a float in the Bad ' s Day parade. Now, the Freshman class is fully accepted in all the circles on the hill. Members of that group will go on earnestly striving through their years at Fairmont State College, hoping to conquer all obstacles in their path.

It looms large in the center of the stage and sidesteps for no other activity on the hill: king for the season. Comes the evening before a big game, and on the highest point on the knob a huge bonfire lights up the sky. Exultant cheers, led by the yell squad, echo over the hill. Freshman boys, colorful in striped pajamas, march behind the college band down Locust Avenue; and the final section of the thuse meeting is held on the courthouse steps. For a short time the Sophomore class crowds its way into the amber lights when they supervise the annual Dad ' s Day celebration. OCTOBER 7--- F. S. 5. CONCORD jfife ter X hi- « v«- - ■ rS ' ' ft tfs Xid CONCORD 24, FAIRMONT 7 In the opening game of the sea- son the local eleven went down to defeat after staging a brilliant battle. The teams left the field at the half with the Maroon and White on top by a 7 — 6 margin, but the Lions ' second-half razzle-dazzle attack tricked the Teachers into a 17-point loss. Halfback Rollins scored the local touchdown on a buck from the one-yard line and then added the extra point in the same manner. FAIRMONT 0, CALIFORNIA For the second consecutive year the Teachers and the Vulcans fought to a scoreless tie in a Home- coming Day game. Fairmont made the only real scoring threat of the battle when they marched 65 yards to the Pennsylvanians ' nine-yard stripe before losing possession of the oval. Newbrough and Billing- ham were outstanding on the de- fense, with Christner and Tatta the best on the line. FAIRMONT 0, SHEPHERD The Maroon and White staged its second scoreless draw with the Shepherd Rams at Shepherdstown in another Homecoming Day cele- bration. Both teams were so evenly matched that there was not much to choose, and most of the game was played between the two 30- yard markers. Newbrough, Row- and, and Christner were the stars for Fairmont in this game. SALEM 27, FAIRMONT 6 Ed Davis ' Salem Tigers out- played the Fairmont eleven in all departments of the game to de- feat the Colebankers by three touchdowns in the local Dad ' s Day struggle. Jack Asay was the shining star for the visitors and he accounted for two of the Salem touchdowns by virtue of his elu- siveness. Billingham took a pass from Newbrough that was good for 30 yards and Fairmont ' s only score of the game. WEST LIBERTY 14, FAIRMONTS Joe Bartell ' s Hilltoppers came from behind in the second half to nip the Colebankers in a classy struggle played at the Island Sta- dium in Wheeling. Newbrough tossed to Billingham for 32 yards and a touchdown at the end of the first half, but West Liberty came back strong and scored once in the third and then again in the fourth quarter to win. Christner and Grake played great defensive ball for the losing attack. GLENVILLE 14, FAIRMONT Jim McMillen scored 14 points for the Pioneers in the second quarter of this game to defeat a determined band of Fighting Teachers. Fairmont gave the Glen- ville team a bruising battle before succumbing. Lovio, Jeffries, and Barnes were the backfield aces for Fairmont in this engagement, while Christner and Grake played the entire game on the line. In the curtain game of the grid season the local eleven chalked up a clear-cut victory over the Bisons from the northern pan- handle. With Billingham inter- FAIRMONT 13, BETHANY 6 cepting a pass in the opening moments of play to score, the Fair- monters were never on the short end of the count. Jeffries took an aerial bomb from Newbrough for the other Colebanker tally, while a pass also accounted for Beth- any ' s lone score of the day. It was in this game that the new grid sensation, Harold Willey, was dis- covered . Thirty-four cS Here we have a group of hard-working in- dividuals who answered the every need of the football team, both on and off the gridiron. In the upper left hand picture is Honest Jasper Colebank, athletic director and head football coach. Coach Colebank has been at the helm of the local ship of athletics for 15 years, and the work he has accomplished here is a by-word throughout the state. The captain of the team this year was Angelo Crescenzi, while Tom Manley was the general- issimo of the managerial staff. Both are pictured above in the right hand corner in a way of fur- ther honoring this duo of hard-working men. Captain Crescenzi led the Fighting Teachers in a capable manner, while Manager Manley was tendering his services when ever needed. For the first time in several years the Mound is presenting a picture of the cheerleaders as a small reward for their untiring efforts in stimu- lating school-spirit. The quartet above, Kather- ine Vennari, Leonard Broidy, Charles Varner, and Barbara Fankhauser, did their tasks in a par excellence manner and have the sincere thanks of the local athletic teams. Thirty-five Reading from left to right and front to back, the 1938 Fairmont State College football squad included: Front Row— Kelly, Bodzek, Tatta, Bart, S. Grake, Captain Crescenzi, Christner, Ross, Newbrough, Billingham, Rollins, Lovio, Rowand and Manager Riggs. Second Row— Backfield Coach Duvall, Duke, Hess, Harper, J. Andrick, C.

Third Row—Head Coach Colebank, Talerico, Robinson, Jeffries, Garrett, Toothman, Willey, Gillingham, Murphy, Owen, Barnes, Coppage, and A. Andrick. ANGELO CRESCENZI, Captain During the past gridiron season the work of the leader was most outstanding.

This group that as fresh- men entered the college in 1937 have lost a bit of their boldness, and have begun to realize the important roll they have to play on the college stage. As Freshmen they were a lively group, that gave impetus to the lagging spirit of the entire student body. They were active in a great many phases of college life. This year they met and elected officers, a competent group that has fulfilled all the ex- pectations of the group that elected them. The climactic event of the Sophomore class activities came with their expert handling of Dad ' s Day.

The first Masquers production, No More Peace , is staged.

DECEMBER 6---F.S.T.C. vs KINGWOOD Blaine (Ank) Ankrom captained the 1938-39 Fighting Teacher basketball quin- tet in a fiery manner. By his prior rights as the veteran of the squad, Ank was chosen as the leader and he paced the team to many victories during the basketball season. Injuries kept him on the sidelines for several battles, but his return to the lineup spurred the team on to greater heights. Captain Ankrom ' s offensive at- tack accounted for 164 points during the year, with the. game at Athens against the Concord Mountain Lions his best single performance. Only a junior, Captain Ank- rom should make the 1939-40 season his best. The man who answered the needs of the squad in a capable style was Tom Manley. His cheery manner and clever personality were an asset to the basketball season, while needless to say he handled the financial and other tasks efficiently. Tom was man- ager of both the basketball and football teams this past year.

Fifty-three THE MONTH Fifty-fo; IN REVIEW Fifty-five The one day in the school year when practically every student stays at home occurs in February. At least six hundred students wait patiently, (or impatiently, as the case may be) for the step of the postman on the walk. He brings them the result of their semesters work in College. Probably the most concerned about their grades are the freshmen preps to the various fraternities and sororities. To them it is a matter of ardent concern, for fraternities occupy a large portion of the stage in college life. JAN. 30--- FEB. 3.

Then spring, in her diaphanous gown of vari-colored pastel shades, glides over the campus bringing with her that lethargic disease, spring fever. Simultaneously with her appearance one is conscious of a conglomeration of tennis racquets, canvas shoes, scorecards, base- ball bats, and sweat shirts. Unobtrusively they enter, holding in thrall a por- tion of the campus spotlight.

The team this year was fortunate in having Captain Orin Ford and Harold Duvall, both vet- erans of three and two years respectively. In addition to these two as no. 1 and no. 2 men, other lettermen were Jack Powell and Tommy Blankenship. The new members Ankrom, Hutchinson, Thompson, and Pence showed promise for the coming year. Under the tutorship of C. A. Lindley, coach, and managership of Abe DiBacco the team de- veloped into a machine that if not winning the match, at least put up a very tough fight. One hundred APRIL 22. ..FAIRMONT vs MARIETTA Members of the 1938 baseball nine included; Back Row: Buzzy Fultz, Cowboy Dial- ing, James Owen, Loyal Jones, Chuck Wargo, James Murphy, Willis Davis, and John Coppage. Middle Row: Carlyle Smith, James Henry, Lou Piccola, Glenn Teets, Charles Fortney, Ed Billingham, Austin Harper, and Bob Barrick. Front Row: Dave Linard. Angelo Crescenzi, Leo Roberts, and Colebank. The 1938 baseball team took advantage of the best weather conditions in several seasons to play a 10-game schedule. Coach Colebank had five veterans from the previous year around whom to mold his 1938 nine, and in addition several promising first-year men rounded out a well-balanced lineup. James (Jake) Murphy did the bulk of the hurling assignments, and served notice that he will go far in the Great American pastime. The veteran Chuck Wargo was behind the plate, and continued his heavy stick work. Leo Roberts, Jimmy Owen, and Buzzy Fultz all took their turns on the mound. At the plate it was Glenn Teets, outfielder, who walked off with the best average when he maintained an average of .458. Lou Piccola, star shortstop, was second in line with a neat .410 mark. Jimmy Henry, second sacker, and Owen, relief pitcher, cashed in with .400 batting marks. An oddity of the batting averages was the fact that the team boasted not a single hitter in the .300 area. Curtailment of finances prevented a lengthy baseball schedule this spring, but the Fighting Teachers did plan to engage in home-and-home games with the Salem College nine.

For a few days the eyes of the college turn to the Inter-collegiate Speech Festival, where Fairmont gleans its usual share of laurels. And then the social event of the season — the Junior Prom. Queen Gaylord, the first, is elected, as is her maid of honor; and the attendants are chosen. With bustling preparations the event arises to a climax in a magniloquent regal setting suggesting all the beauty and grandeur in the most pompous monarchial court. APRIL 21---THE JUNIOR PROM GAYLORD FAIRFAX Crowned Queen Gaylord I MAID OF HONOR Celia Starcher THE JUNIOR PROM Once again the Junior Class has sponsored the Junior Prom, their annual dance in honor of the students who will graduate in June. Each member of the Senior Class and of the Faculty received an invitation to the dance at which a Junior was crowned to reign as queen in behalf of the Junior Class. The court of Her Majesty the Queen is composed of a representative, known as a princess, from each social sorority. As one of the most outstanding events of the year the Junior Prom is always greatly antic- ipated and enjoyed.

It sounds like a story. And that is what it is; a thrilling episodic narrative. Three years that have slipped by so quickly that, now, it almost seems unbelieveable. In September, 1936, we, a crowd of green freshies, drifted through the halls, at every second learning something new about the school we had chosen. We were cocky too, plenty. As the year came to a close that attitude changed somewhat; we knew our way about. A part of the inter-workings of the college became like a printed page. That year we had a dinner dance, we displayed our talents in a special Chapel program, and we appeared on a Campus Highlights program. Proclaimed as Sophomores in 1937, we, as a group, automatically accepted our, supposedly, more advanced level. The woes of our fresh- man year having been forgotten, we indulged in many of the practices followed by upperclassmen that only a few months before we held as strictly taboo. In November we made all the necessary arrangements for one of the most spectacular days of the year — Dad ' s Day. The events of that day might be segregated into three parts, (1) the parade, consisting of many floats and the college band, (2) the football game, and (3) the dance. All of which was under our jurisdiction, and all in honor of the Dads of the students. And then came the fall of 1938. We were, at last, full fledged Juniors — upperclassmen. Now our lives were our own. As in former years we met and organized our class. The officers elected were: Joan Manley, President; Louis Piccola, Vice-President; Crystal Snow Sum- mers, Secretary-Treasurer. Because we were so busy in preparation for our final year on the hill, social events were limited. The highlight for the year was the Junior Prom held in the college gymnasium on Friday, April 21. It was a gala affair in which Gaylord Fairfax was crowned Queen; and Celia Starcher acted as Maid of Honor. With the closing of the semester the Junior class leaves saying, So long, we ' ll be seeing you next fall. One hundred nine 1. Ed Billingham Fairmont, W. Va. 2. Eleanor Pentony Tunnelton, W. Va. 3.

The Columns staff continues its customary, high standard of work and publishes the paper that terminates a year of commendable activity. In this month, too, the Mound is sent to the press; the staff sits back (not relaxed, but very tense) waiting to see what the fruit of their labor will look like. Fra- ternity formals play their bit. Solemnly the seniors prepare for their gradua- tion. In all, a sense of melancholy seems to pervade the atmosphere as many students make the best of their last days together. MAY 2--STUDENT BODY INAUGURATION Jack Rowand President Anne Holbert Vice-President Eldon Montgomery Secretary Leo Roberts Treasurer Paul Riley Ssrgeant-at-Arms These five people as the Student Body Officers are the core of the stu- dent government.

The spotlight playing about kaleidoscopically on each activity and interest of the student as it plays its part. Now, with full power the spot is concentrated on the senior class. This is their month, the denoue- ment of their college careers. Gravely they march, garbed in their imposing caps and gowns, across the stage. Armed with their diplomas they step from the college setting to a stage much greater where the sets are larger, and the spotlight more powerful. The stage that is life.

In September of this year we wandered about over the campus feeling the proud eyes of the upperclassmen upon us. No doubt we were a bit amusing in our greenness, but we were enthusiastic enough about our opportunities on the hill to off-set any illusions they might have had about us. Soon we flowered forth, however, making our presence felt in many ac- tivities. 1938-1937. After a brief respite from college we returned to find ourselves on a higher level, Sophomores. We are pleased with the aura that surrounds us now in our new prestige. Events sponsored by us, such as Dad ' s Day and our annual party, stand high among the memorable events of this year. 1937-1938. Juniors at last. When we were Freshmen the time seemed interminable before we would be upperclassmen; in retrospect, however, the time was short. A flash of light in a darkened sky. The Junior Prom, crowning event of our Junior year was a beautiful aff air. The queen, maid of honor, the prin- cesses, and all the girls dressed in their new spring gowns were most attractive while their escorts were just as elegantly dressed. All things, including the music merged to make this a perfect event. 1938-1939. Fanfare. The music rises to a crescendo. The grand finale. As the year comes to a close we are more rushed than ever we were before, proms, completion of class work, and all the bustle that is a part of graduation. With a feeling of remorse we make the final preparation for our departure. One hundred twenty-nine £ ' ;£XL 1. Lois Wilson Fairview, W. 2. Willis H. Davis Fairview. W. Va. 3.

One hundred thirty-nine MY DIARY- Dear Diary: I ' m so thrilled and excited over enrolling, get- ting insignias, being entertained and shown the campus by the Freshman Counsellors, that I ' m at a loss as to how I shall let you in on my experiences. Sept. 15 — A new day was inaugurated in recognition of Freshmen by the City of Fair- mont. Mayor Wilson, the Board of Commerce, and all the big bugs joined in welcoming the green freshies. Dr. Ernest Yost led in group singing. We all sang to our heart ' s content and felt better acquainted than ever before. Sept. 23— The Student Body student-mixed with a Jam Session led by Bob Downs and his Orchestra. Round and square dancing, bingo, checkers (and Post Office in the more secluded corners.) Sept. 29— A Red Letter Day! Bump , the official Humor Pictorial Magazine of F.S.T.C., published by E. C. Rowand, Jr., president of the Student Body, made its appearance and was pro- claimed a huge success. Vocal scholarship win- ners were announced : Doris Fleming and Jimmy Herlihy. I understand there are two things one can be definitely sure of each year on this cam pus — that the girl winner will be an Alpha Delt and the Freshman class president, a T.B.I. It never fails! Oct. 7— Concord beat the Colebankers to the tune of 24—7. That evening the Concord Hop (sponsored by the Non-Frats) helped to ease the broken hearted eleven. We also received word today that first prize was again awarded to the F.S.T.C. Band at the Mountain State For- est Festival at Elkins. Oct. 14—1 attended the annual Freshman Din- ner-Dance tonight. The Freshies all made their choice for a Beau Brummel for the coming year. The Campus Commentators , Brooks Higin- botham and Lloyd Bennett, made their first ap- pearance on the air today over WMMN. This will be a weekly feature. Oct. 26— Delegates attend State Federation at Charleston and prove their friendship to the colored students of W. Va. State College. They also brought back an important office, I under- stand. Oct. 28— For the sixth year F.S.T.C. honored the fathers and the future fathers with a parade, game, and dance. Oct. 31 — To date there have been ten big frat and sorority parties and tonight the A.D. Chi ' s closed the month with their annual Hallowe ' en shindig. All the sorority girls were there in masquerade. I won the prize for the prettiest costume. It was lots of fun, Diary, (the flying cider jug caps was only one of the lesser hap- penings of the evening.) Nov. 11 — Sheep Roberts steals the show in the Armistice Day Program. Nov. 14 — Masquers presented their first play ' No More Peace . It caused more comment than any play given in the past ten years. Nov. 18— One of the loveliest affairs of the year was the Gamma Tallow Tea which I at- tended today. Come nightfall and the Greeks galloped at the Fodder Frolic with the aid of confetti, Larosa, and whistles. The four Greek organizations that started this annual affair really have something! Oh, yes, I almost for- got — we beat Bethany i n football, today. Nov. 22— Turkey Hop , sponsored by the T.B.I ' s and Gamma ' s started the Thanksgiving holidays with a bang. Dec. 5 — Students run the city for a day. E.C.R., Jr. acted as Mayor; student council members, city officials. F.D.R., here we come!! Dec. 12 — Gamma Chee Chee ' s gave their tenth annual minstrel show featuring Annie Holbert, Burke, Hood, and Gregory. What? No Pricie? Christmas season celebrated in fine style: Sigma Taus, Zeta Sigs, O Pi ' s, Tri Sigs, Tau Betas, and Delta Sigs throwing parties; Gam- mas and Morrow Hall, formals; and the Alpha Delts and Sigma Thetas presiding at Christmas teas. One hundred forty January. Crape placed over door — exams be- gin! Feb. 10 — Annual Homecoming. First social event of second semester. I was introduced to all the people who climbed the hill before my time. (P.S. I think the students improve with the years.) Feb. 17 — Alpha Delta Chi ' s again lead fra- ternity grades. Local debaters leave for 3,000 mile journey. Feb. 21 — Forty-seven gorgeous Greek God- desses docked their Showboat under the cap- tainship of Mary Louise Morris. Alice ' s Angels were unusually daring this year — even to the point of shocking the T.B.I. ' s!! High points of the show were: Rhythm Melodrama, Medley, Wolfe and her drums, Shannonberger, Umbrella Chorus, and the originality of the skits. Feb. 22 — Omicron Pi ' s and Sigma Theta ' s turned patriotic tonight with a huge Colonial Ball. Feb. 27— Marshall College and F.S.T.C. ex- change plays. Elizabeth the Queen and The Bishop Misbehaves. Mar. 1— Mump Epidemic hits F.S.T.C. Every- one and his brother have increased jaw lines. Oh! Why were mirrors invented? Mar. 16 — Delta Sigs give their usual outstand- ing Tea Dance. I had more fun at this tea than I have had all year. Students seem to mix more for some reason. Mar. 30 — History is made! New constitution for Student Body written and accepted. Point system to be enforced causes many lads and lassies tears and sighs. Mar. 31 — And so to Morgantown to the Inter- collegiate Speech Festival where local festivalers brought home the Bacon (and we don ' t mean Hams. ) Fairmont really made a name for it- self in debate, poetry interpretation, and acting! The judges really laid the compliments on heavy. April 3 — Hall begins to tame Morris for the Shrew . April 5 The Who ' s Who Tea, which is the annual affair that people about the campus look forward to (to see if they will be honored by an invitation. ) April 11 — Student Body today huddled en masse and emerged with the people ' s choice , Roberts, Morris, McAdoo, Riley, and Owen. April 21 — The charming Mademoiselle Fairfax was crowned Queen Gaylord I at the Junior Prom. Those present were bowled over by the collective pulchritude of the Queen and her Court. April 24— The T.B(ull)I. ' s stretched a little Bull a long ways — a little too far, if one judged by the facial expression of the audience. The chorus was particularly versatile this year. April 27 — Booster Day feted all High School seniors and convinced them that they should attend F.S.T.C. next fall. May 8— The Shrew was finally tamed! This show played to a full house two nights. May 12 — Frat and sorority formals begin. Lads and lassies on their best behavior looking forward to invitations. May 16 — Recognition Day. Those outstand- ing and instanding (get it?) were congratulated and medaled for feats and defeats. Oh, Diary, Carl Holbert just asked me if he could have my diary printed in the yearbook, and I said, Yes ! I ' m sure I shall be a great novelist some day.
