(Final editing by members of summer school class in Journalism 312) Page Four • FOREWORD There is a tree in the meadow, and there is a tree on the mound at Fairmont State College. A metal plate marking the spot was placed there long, long ago by another summer school group. Of course you know there was a mound, a favorite spot, on the old Normal campus. We have moved three times; altered our name three times. Third time is a charm. Now we are settled down to continue to be what Oliver Shurtleff calls a stout little college. We, the members of another summer school class, are glad to add our bit to continue The Mound and all that it stands for. — Journalism 312 Class, 1952 148563 Page Five . . . DEDICATED TO By Bill Evans Honest Jasper, as he is known through- out the state, com- bined the duties of head coach and ath- letic director until the appointment of Wil- ford R. Squibb Wil- son as coach in 1939. While the latter was in service during World War II, Cole- bank again took over the coaching duties and conducted the ath- letic program until Wilson ' s return in 1946. Jasper Raymond Colebank, retiring ath- letic director at Fair- mont State college, was guest of honor May 31 when 250 former team- mates, men who played under his direction and friends from all walks of life, gathered for a testimonial din- ner in the Masonic Temple. Colebank left the job he had held for 28 years on August 31. He came to Fairmont State from Grafton High school in the fall of 1924 and has been on the job continuous- ly since that time. Oliver Shurtleff, for many years dean at Fairmont State college and now a member of the faculty at Morris Harvey college in Charleston, was toastmaster at the stag dinner, arrangements for which were directed by Mrs. Wilford R. Wilson and Mrs. George T. Evans. The meal was served by the Eastern Star organization. After introductions, four brief addresses were given. Athletic Director C. B. Cebe Ross of West Virginia Wesleyan, spoke on Jasper H. Colebank As Seen by an Old Friend ; Dr. George T. Evans represented former players; Lawrence A. Wallman appeared for the Fairmont State faculty, and Wilson spoke as a fellow coach. JASPER HAYMOND COLEBANK Fairmont State College, 1924-1952 Page Six HONEST JASPER . . . . Wilson presented Colebank, who resides on a farm at Enterprise, with a registered cow and calf. Honor guests in addition to Ross included Ira Errett Rodgers, All-American gridder at West Virginia University; Frank A. Ice, former Fairmont West High coach, and Fred Chenoweth of Weston High school, all former teammates of Colebank at West Virginia; and George H. Colebank, former Fairmont High school principal and Jasper ' s brother. The guest list included Dean John W. Pence, who became acting president of Fair- mont State college June 1, and several other members of the faculty; a large number of former players, many of whom were on Cole- ' , 1 bank ' s first football  Js. u . . and basketball teams herein 1924 and 1925, and members of the athletic squads of the past year at the col- lege, who attended the Colebank dinner in lieu of holding their own annual banquet. Members of the gen- eral committee for the affair included Wilson, who succeeded Cole- bank as athletic direc- tor; Assistant Coach Paul C. Pi Davis, who moved up to head basketball coach when Colebank ' s retirement became effective; Dr. Evans, who has been team physician for several years; Emlyn K. Thomas of The Times, formerly ath- letic publicity director at Fairmont State; Eddie Rothlesberger of Jane Lew, and Wil- bur Jones of Fairmont, former FSC athletes.

By Hattie V. Hail A builder builded a temple, He wrought it with grace and skill; Pillars and groins and arches All fashioned to work his will. And men said as they saw its beauty, It shall never know decay; Great is thy skill, o builder. Thy fame shall endure for aye. A teacher builded a temple With loving and infinite care, Planning each arch with patience, Laying each stone with prayer. None praised the unceasing efforts, None knew of the wondrous plan; For the temple the teacher builded Was unseen by the eye of man. Gone is the builder ' s temple, Crumbled into the dust; Low lies each stately pillar, Food for consuming rust. But the temple the teacher builded Will last while the ages roll; For that beautiful unseen temple Was a child ' s immortal soul.

And Jill said, And broke his crown, Jack fell down To fetch a pail of water. Went up the hill Jack and Jill Maybe our Jacks and Jills go up the hill to fetch a pail of water, but let us say it was the water of life, of education. We hope that they agree with Alexander Pope ' s Drink deep of the Pierian spring; a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. On the other hand, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy — granting that only a few of our boys are dull. While Mr. Big Success or Eager Beaver might say, All work and no play makes jack, we believe that there are times and places for both. Much study is a wearisome- ness of the flesh. Let ' s take time out for a look at some of the organizations, fraternities, sororities, honoraries, clubs. Here are a few Jills; where ' s Jack?

Page Forty-four DIALOGUES OF PLATO Dialogues of Plato (Modernized version, with excerpts from and allusions to, as well as illusions from, literature (modern, ancient, medieval, hillbilly, folklore) and references, various and sundry, to character, plot, continuity found in various med ; a of communi- cation, including the Scandinavian.) If you have read your Greek (in the original of course) and your Don Quixote (call him Key-Hoe-Tay, thanks Miss Terry) you will perhaps appreciate this travesty on the Grand Ole Opry, with apologies to Existentialism, the Three Bears, Snow-white and the Two-Toed Sloth. First of all we should introduce you to the two in the dialogue. Generally it takes two to make a dialogue, and generally speaking women are generally speaking, but not in this case we do not say search us for the femme. While this is a monologue, we hope you are listening, since it is a work done mostly by one, it did start out as a dialogue to be carried on by these two characters. The one on the left is Plato, and the one on the right is his foil — Pancho. Before we listen to what they are saying, let us identify other characters in the photo at left. In the background (hiding behind the tall corn of Iowa) is Jack the Giant Killer. The Giant himself is not shown in the photo; he is peering out of one of those sore-eyed houses on Locust Avenue which, according to Harper ' s Magazine (no apologies to Manchester) have sore eyes. Mow this Giant, little ones (it ' s bedtime for you characters) has an eye for homo sapiens. Me, fi, fo, fee fum, I smell the blood of an Englishmun! Anyway, this Giant had only one eye. Of course you know the story of Ulysses who was returning home from the Korean War and as he and his men approached the island (no, not Coney) they heard Circe. Of course ole Ulysses would have been better off if he had attended to teaching his men how to, and not go messing around with these isms, including feminism. Anyway, this femme Circe got him into a peck of trouble, as we shall see. When ole Odys- seus (that ' s just an- other name for Ulys- ses: he uses it when the joint is raided) heard the dulcet notes of this gal Circe, he says: Row a little closer boys, sounds like we ' re nearing Lhe Indian Club. Aha, (he says) I perceive a dame, by my troth ' tis La Belle Dame Sans Much of Anything. Put her in high gear, boys. When Ulysseus (don ' t call him Od Left to right: Plato and Sancho Panza Page Forty- five yet, the joint ' s not raided; that comes later and the crowd got close enough to hear, they heard this Circe gal sing out: Oh, sir, see what I got! (get it?) Now this was a few years before the days of Mae West, kiddoes, so don ' t get our story mixed. Now where were we? Oh, yes, then Ulysses sang out, Heave ho, pull in your jib, back water, throw out the anchor, ' tis time for a lingerie raid, boys. (Well, she had something on, of course.) This raid will be easier than a Korean raid, Ulyssess says (and this is the only sensible thing in the whole piece.) Well, to cut a long tale short, there came the sheep, wagging their tails behind them, for where else would they be? But, little ones, we are behind in our tale. When Ulysses and his gang went into the Big Chief Club, ole Polyphemus, the one-eyed giant (thought we had forgotten him, didn ' t you?) put the snatch on all of them. They had been drink- ing Pink Ladies made with branch water or that from the River Styx, with maybe a few knockout drops, so they didn ' t know what the score was. After fingerprinting them and taking their pictures for the annual, which unfortu- nately never found their way to our engraver, ole Poly called up Circe, (you kids gettin ' sleepy?) Poly: Listen, Circe, I got an eye for you, kid, and I want no more playin ' around with a wandering bunch of sailors, get me? Circe: Why, you jealous ole one-eyed soandso. Poly: Be careful, the eye of Texas is upon you! Circe: You mean you got television? Poly: Sure thing, kid. And this ole eye is beamed right your way. Circe: Well, I don ' t care about the eye of Texas; you are in West Virginia now. My Uncle Remus says folks who like us like us and those who don ' t get in their ships and sitting well in order smite the sounding furrows and row off toward the red sails in the sunset. Poly: You mean they fold their tents and move on? Circe: Yep. Some don ' t even take time to fold their tents. Poly: Some will say your Uncle Joseph Remus was naive, but the early-born, rosy fingered dawn will prove Bob Browning right when he said, ' Grow old along with me; the best is yet to be ' . Circe: You mean there will be better days on this island? Poly: Sure thing, kid. Circe: I ' m glad. I ' m kinda bored with these jerks. Poly: You mean Ulysses? I ' ll fix his wagon. Ah, yes, as my friend O.G. (not Old Gold) says: ' The curfew has curfewed ' . Well, now that Curfew Shall Not R : ng Tonight has rung, it ' s time you kiddoes were in bed catching some shut-eye. Oh, well, just one more story, then. Do not wonder for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for you. Now when Ulysses finally got home to Ithaca where his wife was, he was sorta confused, for no man is an island, since he had been at sea for 10 years. Yet all experience is an arch through which some people never see. They have flat arches and flat heads. Poor Ole Ulysses had fooled around with these (femin) isms, including Circe and th e Scandinavians, and Penelope, his lawful wedded wife had been knitting up the sleeve of care and unraveling it when she got careless. Penny met him at the door and said: Why for you come home now? I was having a wonderful time without you, Od. (Odys- seus for short.) Od: I came to bring the new learning to this here island. Penny: (that ' s short change for Penelope) I got along very well with my old ways; you know, old friends are best friends. (Continued on page 55) Page Forty-six ATHLETICS FOOTBALL Head Coach Wilf ' ord R. Squib Wilson and his staff succeeded this year in turning out the best football team Fairmont State College has had in a number of years. The Falcon football ranks were thinned out and the coaching staff faced an enormous rebuilding job when the varsity met late in August fo r its fall camp. Graduation took with it a large number of re- liable personnel from the forward wall and the backfield. Fairmont State college was fortunate in gaining a number of transfer students from various other colleges and universities whose capabilities set the Falcons in a threat- ening position for the Conference championship. Although the Falcons were outweighed in nearly every encounter, they equalized this discrepancy with speed and leviathan aggressiveness against their opponents. Our backfield consisted of the regular mainstays in the persons of General John Vernall at the quarterback position, Denver Smith, Charlie Francis, aug- menting the backfield slots and Jim Cherocchi at fullback. Vernall, Smith, and Francis were lettermen from last years Fairmont State college varsity. Cherocchi, hailing from Duquesne University, was one of the transfer students who joined the Falcons this year. On the forward wall Coach Wilson was fortunate in having Gene Chips and Blaine Morton at the end positions; Gigantic Clem Dawson and John the Bear DePasquale at the tackle positions, with Dale Houndshell and Jim Deflorio as guards topped off with Bill Hayhurst at center. Fairmont dropped their opener to the West Liberty Hilltoppers by a slim score of 6-0. The game was scoreless throughout the first half with West Liberty scoring late in the game. Fairmont failed to score although they were deep in the Hilltoppers territory many times. The Fairmont State Falcons turned back Glenville State, Concord College, and Davis and Elkins before dropping their only other loss of the season to the Golden Bears of West Virginia Tech by a score of 19-6 in the last game the Falcons played, they swamped Salem College by a score of 45-7. The traditional Dad ' s Day game, which was scheduled for Rosier Field, found the Falcons matched against Shepherd College. The weather man obviously was not a sports fan because a night long snow storm put the field in a terrible playing condition. Coach Wilson and the teams voted to cancel the game because of inclement weather. Fairmont placed third in the WVIC football conference this year falling behind first place Morris Harvey and second place West Virginia Tech, the Falcons turned in their best season record in years. In the all-conference selections, Dale Hounshell and John DePasquale gained berths on the forward wall of the mythical all-conference team. 1951 FOOTBALL RECORD We They West Liberty 6 Glenville 20 Concord 37 7 Davis Elkins 19 W.

The Falcons played their home season on their newly conditioned baseball diamond at Rosier Stadium. The baseball infield was moved to a new position near the grandstands to provide an excellent view of the action. Large crowds of students and interested townspeople witnessed the clashes between the Fairmont State Falcons and their intercollegiate opponents this season. Coach Wilford R. Squib Wilson had another rebuilding job on his hands for the baseball squad. With only a few returning lettermen in the ranks, Wilson and his staff produced a well-balanced club that was able to hold its own in intercollegiate compe- tition. 1952 BASEBALL SCORES We They Alderson-Broaddus 2 10 Salem 7 8 California State 14 16 Davis Elkins 11 17 Salem 7 4 Glenville 8 3 California State 2 1 Alderson-Broaddus 6 8 TRACK In the last couple of years the newly formed Fairmont State College track team has become a formidable power in the West Virginia Intercollegiate Conference. The Fal- cons have risen from a slow beginning in the track field sports; and enthusiasm for the new team has grown by leaps and bounds here on the Hill . With Coach Paul Pi Caesar Davis at the helm, the thinclads began their early spring workouts on the boards of Colebank Gymnasium. Inclement weather forced the trackmen to remain indoors until shortly before the season opened. The new track at Rosier Stadium was given a workout early in April as the Fairmont Falcons readied for their first Intercollegiate track meet of the 1952 season. The Falcons met with the Davis Elkins Senators at the Davis Elkins home track for their first meet. The Falcons turned back the group of D E Senators by a score of 44-34. Denver Smith, the football star, was the mainstay of the Falcon line-up. Smith managed to win first place in the high and low hurdles, to place second in the discus hurl- ing, and to come in third on the pole vaulting event for a total of 19% points. Falcon track team captain Bobby Thompson won the 220 yard dash, and tied for first place in the 100 yard sprint. Dick Smith also helped the Falcons along to victory over D E by taking the 440 yard race. The Falcons in their next meet, the Charleston Gazette Relays, at Charleston, West Virginia, managed to take a third place position against a field of a dozen or more schools and several unattached personnel. Dick Smith again won the 440 in magnificent style against a crowded field. In the final meet, the West Virginia Intercollegiate tournament, the Falcons came in second behind the powerful Bethany track team, host of the meet. Fairmont State faced terrific odds in this meet due to the fact that the meet found most of the colleges in the State pitted against each other, with several unattached personel also running and taking part in the field events. In this meet, Dick Smith placed second in the 440, (Continued on page 53) Page Forty-nine w H W CO ! ■ ■ ■ O 4) 3 9 CQ (4 oi c ■a 4) u 3 u 3 Ph o 01 .3 U 3 O O) 01 o 01 Oh 0) 3 o fa 01 Q J o PC 0) ■a o 3 U E d M 3 GO-g « 5 O M w o fe C ,3 w t, 3.3 iH 01 M 3 ' ( f r Fi tt w H ui u ;■! efl 60 o cc ■a - 3 o (8 « B . o § £ O o x -C « H Oh £ o S « 3 J3 a S3 -0 P c en 3 O s- X % £ S 5 P P w c ■a o CO S M 3 ' « A .2 — , C c I E £ ° E •- ■a .c a o c w § o Sh to o M « : a £ -C - In ' 2 O Sf as J 5 TO i O w P Fh C •n o M C c o p P«r r Fifty-one 11111 Page Fifty-two (Continued from page 49) Ernie Rider placed second in the mile run, and won first place honors in the V2 mile race, and Ed Sturgeon placed third in the two-mile jaunt. Denver Smith was high-point man for the year by racking up a total of 36 team points for the Fairmont State College trackmen. Smith leaves the Fairmont Falcons this year via the graduation route after turning in sterling performances for the Maroon and White for the last four years. Coach Davis and his staff have given Fairmont State College new honors by forming a track team here on the Hill . The MOUND extends its congratulations for a good job. DEDICATED TO HONEST JASPER (Continued from page 7) monial, which Colebank called a reunion instead of an affair in his honor. Colebank was born February 28, 1887 in Taylor county, 10 miles east of Grafton. He attended Mt. Pleasant, a rural school, through the eighth grade, and then took a normal school course at Philippi, after which he passed a teacher ' s examination. In 1906 he taught at the Yates school near Grafton and for five years was at the Robinson school in Taylor county. He enrolled at Fairmont Normal school in 1910 and was graduated in 1914 with an academic diploma. During his career here he played football in 1911, 1912, and 1913; basketball in 1912 and 1913 and baseball in 1913 and 1914. Colebank played in the first football game he ever saw, a scoreless tie against Wes- leyan in 1911 when the Bobcats had one of the outstanding teams in the state. Enrolling at West Virginia University in 1914, he attended school for two years, during which he played football in 1915 and 1916 along with Rodgers and some of the other notables of that era. He became coach at Lumberport High school in 1916 and in 1917 went to Washington Irving High school in Clarksburg. Colebank joined the U. S. Army in the spring of 1918 and was taking officer ' s training at Camp Taylor when the Armistice was signed. He was discharged November 27, 1918. After spending a short time as an employe of the Baltimore Ohio Railroad, he re- entered the coaching field at Grafton High school. Among his students there was Clair Bee, now coach and vice-president of Long Island University, who is rated one of the lead- ing basketball coaches in the country. Bee was here as the speaker for a Fairmont State athletic dinner a few years ago. Colebank was married on April 6, 1918 to Faye Sturm of Enterprise. They have three children. The dinner attracted state-wide interest, for the retiring athletic director is known as one of West Virginia ' s most outstanding sports figures. The modern physical education building at Fairmont State bears Colebank ' s name, and his reputation will be an enduring onein West Virginia sport circles. The testi- monial, however, was in the nature of a more personal tribute to a man who has done much for athletics in this state and who retired full of honors and high in the esteem of all who know him. There were some vacant places around the board, figuratively, at least. The man who brought Jasper Colebank to Fairmont and who saw eye to eye with him on every phase of athletic policy, Dr. Joseph Rosier, has passed to his reward. Had he been physically able to attend, one of Colebank ' s predecessors as athletic director, Homer C. Sandy Toothman, would certainly have been there. The same is true of Elmer M. Doc Daily, who was coach about the time that Colebank himself was a Page Fifty-three student at the old Fairmont Normal and who later went on to gain fame as a minor league baseball executive with the Middle Atlantic circuit. But, gracing the head table as toastmaster was another one who had at least a small part in the development of Fairmont ' s athletic policy, Dean Oliver Shurtleff. If there was ever a conflict between the athletic and the academic branches at F air- mont State during the time that Colebank headed the former and Uncle Joe Rosier and Oliver Shurtleff the latter, it never came to public notice. All three of these distinguished educators thought alike on the place of thletics at a college designed primarily for the training of teachers. A well-rounded sports pro- gram had its place, but its main purpose was to train students who could take their place in the field of education in later years with acoaching as an added part of their qualificat- ions. Let the years unroll in the eye of memoryand you can recall the occasions when a de- mand arose down-town for a winning football or basketball team on the Hill. Each of these movements died aborning when it reached the offices of these soft-spoken gentle- men who merely said: We ' re not interested in beating the world. We want no subsidized teams. We like to win as well as the next man, but we ' re not going to sacrifice our principles and our policy for the sake of victory alone. Uncle Joe used to like to tell of his single experiment with athletic scholarships. One year, before Colebank came on the scene, he was persuaded by the then athletic di- rector to permit some financial aid to be offered athletes out of funds presumably col- lected by the director. I never had so much trouble in my life , Dr. Rosier always concluded his little yarn, and I made up my mind then that as long as I had anything to do with it, it would never happen again. So far as we know, it didn ' t. Colebank, who even then bore the well-deserved mon- icker of Honest Jasper , came to the school on the Hill with a full understanding of what would be expected of him, and the policy was never breached. At Fairmont State, Colebank, Shurtleff and the late Dr. Rosier all felt, we believe, that the local school couldn ' t match the outlay that others were making and that half- measurers would be worse than none at all. It was to preserve the athletic integrity of schools like Fairmont that gentlemen like Preidents Rosier, Bond of Salem and Elliott of Alderson-Broaddus launched the West Virginia Intercollegiate conference. Before the WVIC came into being, eligibility stand- ards were unknown in state teachers colleges and denominational institutions — or at least the enforcement of them was more honored in the breach than in the observance. Colebank, during his whole career at Fairmont State, was a leader in the conference. For many years he headed its eligibility committee, the keystone of the circuit, and from start to finish he had served on the basketball tournament committee. Some years back, when the conference got the idea that much of its work should be handled through a central office, we felt that Jasper Haymond Colebank should be the league ' s first commissioner. As the great leveler, the impartial moderator, the unbiased judge, Colebank could give the conference stability and serenity. Despite the reluctance of some members to accept the verdict, the conference has just put a prohibition on athletic scholorships. as such. The action, making aid available to all students alike and to none for athletic ability alone, follows the pattern that has been in force on the Hill during the 28 years that Colebank had been athletic director.

Li ' l Abner was fair game on Sadie Hawkins ' Day and I cotched him far and squar. Od: Ah, well for us all some sweet lopes hie.

I chop- ped up that ole frame, hoping to frame someone but the darn thing boomeranged. Well, Od says, as Ben Franklin tole me once, a Penny saved is a Penny earned and I have been away 10 years, boy and man, and now I came home to collect my Penny. Come here, Babe. Penny: Why you big blue ox, somebody has done sold ye a bill of goods. Either that or you been hanging around Snuffy Smith and his corn squeezins, (This aged Od pretty fast; he ' d been thinking about it a long time; it was sorta aged in the wood.) Od: I am a part of all I have met, and brother, I have met some strange characters on this hill, I mean trip, durin ' the last ten years. Penny: Well, reckon so; but ye aint a talking about our Seniors air ye? I ' ll tell Dick Tracy on ye, if ye air. Od: As a matter of fact, no. Our Seniors are going to reflect nothin ' but credit on this place. (That ' s from the heart, folks.) About this time we see that Sancho Panza is coming out of his stupor and we had best listen to the dialogue between him and Plato. I started out to give you a short view of possibilities and potentialities while these two characters hibernated, collaborated, felicitated, procrastinated, and just as it happens sometimes it turned out to be a long- view. Sorry folks; what, you kiddoes asleep 7 And now let us hear this dialogue of Plato and Sancho. Sancho Panza (No relation to Pancho Villa): Well, I hope the Seniors joust with no wind-mills! Plato: Why not? They have been powered by windbags for four long years. Sancho (waving his pipe ala Sherlock, quick Dr. Watson the needle): Four years? WCT (no U) Plato: Seems longer than that, doesn ' t it? Sancho: It was. My son enters next September. My, how tempus does fugit. Plato: Maybe he will help you get the annual out? Sancho: Nope. He ' s a block off the ole chip. Plato: Which, being interpreted, means? Sancho (also yclept Bud, he has not bloomed yet): Never do today what you can put off till tomorrow. C. R. H.

In many respects Fairmont State Col- lege is a local college. A predominance of our students come to the college from Fairmont and immediate vicinity: many commute from places that are in this trade area. Some of our graduates may wander far in search of success in their chosen fields, but all come back home at times. Many settle down in this area and make their contributions here as responsible and successful citizens.
