DEDICATIO O IOHN HEIM, our highly respected building custodian, we dedicate this, The 1942 Mound, as a means of showing our deep appreciation for what he has done for us. Always willing to aid those who need his services, he has set before us an example of lasting devotion. Commonly known by his host of friends as Shorty, he is closely associated with the Fighting Teachers. He is a loyal follower of all our athletic teams. Many local citizens think of the two as being synonymous. This lceen interest in athletics started in his youth, and during early manhood he was a professional baseball player. The realization of Shorty's dream for the college was fulfiled with the construction of the new, spacious Colebank Gymnasium. Dramatics is another one of Shorty's many interests. He enjoys amateur produc- tions very much and is often seen attending chapel programs and taking part in group singing and other activities. Shorty never attended any college or university. He has been schooled the difficult way, by experience. He is a most interesting conversationalist and enjoys mingling with students and teachers. His sense of humor is remarkable and he greets every one with a courteous, friendly smile. Shorty was born and reared near Willces-Barre, Pennsylvania, later moving to West Virginia. He has been a resident oi Fairmont for several years and is a devoted father and husband to his family. All three of his children have attended Fairmont State Collegeg Mrs. lohn Cranwell, the former Emma Heim, a member of the class of '35. Mrs. L. A. Vtfallman, the former Louise Heim, a member of the graduate class of '32, and his only son lohn Heim, lr. who is serving with the United States Army in Camp Dupont, Delaware, attended this institution in l937. He was first employed in this institution as a night watchman, later becoming building custodian. His duties and obligations are performed promptly and meet with the satisfaction and approval of all. We recognize him as a leader, a friend and an influence to the students on our campus. Shorty, the students of Fairmont College wish you tasting happiness!

New Times Demand New Measures , and .New Men.-Lowell RegardlBSB of where Fairmont College ath- letic teams travel, or when the famous Maroon and White Band plays, or wherever that Fair- mont College spirit prevails, the symbol of our college activities is always present. Realizing this, the Fighting Teacher, symbolic of our school, was selected as a theme for the current number of The Mound. The Fighting Teacher illustrations were created by the capable Ernest Freed, a member of the Art Department. Through his careful and undaunted work, the Staff was able to com- plete the theme. The staff expresses its grati- tude to Mr. Freed for his efforts and untiring patience. It gd-
