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.
