This year, THE MOUND feels that the prophecy should tone down the humor, and give out with some good sound advice and pre- Four years ago, when this year ' s graduating class first ventured up- on the campus of Fairmont State College, the future looked bright enough to warrant Ughthearted plans for the after-college years. The freshmen of that year sei forth upon their collegiate careers in a world hopefully recovering from the ravages of war, and in a world hopefullv entertaining the thought that men could live with each other in peace. Now, with the changing of the world situation, and with the knowledge and full comprehension of the fact that two entirely, dif- ferent philosophies cannot hope to exist forever in peace. The stu- dents graduating this year from Fairmont State College are leav- ing this campus to meet the ever- darkening challenges of the adult world. The students leaving for their lifetime careers this year, are leaving this college with a highly developed ability that has benefit- ed greatly from a college educa- to venture, in their individual fields, they will find a waiting world that is in dire need of de- veloped and capable minds to cope with the rising complex problems. In gaining the experience and training to meet the challenging situations of the future, these in- dividuals have fortified themselves with the ability to surpass the unwanted situations and develop the wanted toward an engulfing world peace.

The absence o her unfailing, cheery smile and kind word has caused a void that can never be filled. Donna will •cefulness. active member of class, the Pi Kappa , and the Masquers. She passed away like It is the prediction of this writ- er that in the not too shining fu- ture, the graduates of Fairmont State College will step into their places to add more laurels to our great nation ' s credit. With the excellent training these students have received here, they possess the means to move to outstanding positions in their individual fields. Certainly no class could endure the road of learning without find- ing itself well stocked with those class individuals that have estab- lished themselves among their as- sociates by their personal accom- plishments. The Fairmont State College Class of 1951 is no excep- tion. There are those classmates that will live lor.g in the memories of their associates by being per- sons worthy of individual recogni- tion. Unfortunately, the Mound can neither afford the space here to mention these outstanding stu- dents by name, nor can it contrib- ute the due gratitude to the indi- viduals in this article. It can, how- ever express its feelings toward the contributions of the Class of 1951 by stating that they have given much, and that they will be missed greatly. The Class of 1951 leaves behind a good record, same quality that has been established by the pre- vious graduating classes through- out the history of our college. This record follows the high standards every aspect of collegiate life. It is too simple to merelv state then, that the Class of 1951 passes the threshold of a new challenge, with the proud knowledge that they have successfully cleared one of the numerous hurdles of life. To these students, the MOUND wishes to extend its best wishes for their future, and express con- fidence that they will be great as- sets to mankind, and that they, through their training and ability. prove true the theory that peace and democracy is the birthright of ATTENTION.

Fun- ny thing— Juniors usually think about an annual only when they are Seniors, and then it is too late. The time to make plans for an annual is the year before, i. e., in your Junior year. There is much to learn, many plans to make, and much work to do. rk! Far to Ah. there ' s the manv students Let George do sit back and say, it.

WE ARE OLDEST NORMAL SCHOOL Fairmont State College claims to be the oldest normal school south of the Mason and Dixon Line, and the earliest recipient of aid from the George Peabody Fund. Operated as a teacher training on the secondary school level, Fair- mont ' s scope was widened in 19U8 when teachers were permitted to qualify for certificates through normal school training as well as through examinations. In 1924, Fairmont granted its first bachelor ' s degrees in Educa- tion on the basis of completion of a four-year college course. In 1931 the Legislature changed the name of Fairmont State Normal School to Fairmont State Teachers Col- lege. This title was again chang- ed by the Legislature of 1943 to Fairmont State College.
