Mis3 Chenowoth and Miss McDaniel wero our sponsors. Basketball season came rollin' 'round — a tournament as usual. Our teams were defeat- ed but we won the Junior High cheering prizo at the annual tournament with'Joan Moyer and Pearl Mae Adkins cheerleading. At last came vacation time, but lot us hasten through it to tho eighth grade. Our classes were lod this year by Miss McDaniel and Miss Newcome. There was a great decrease in the number of students in our class. This year proved to bo a very profitable one. The girls won the Junior High Trophy at tho annual basketball tournament. At last here wo are, the thirtieth of May and vacation time with three whole months of freedom. In September 1939 we entered school again, to bogin our first ycor in senior high, with another great decrease in the number of mem- bers In our class. Our sponsors wore Miss Bonda and Mr, Whitescarver, The following year we were Sophomores, That year we were grouped into one class; our sponsor was Mr, Newlon. This year we had high hopes of winning the Senior High Championship in basketball, having defeated the Juniors but you know the rest. On rolled our Junior year which proved to bo a successful one for us. A group of four- teen students joined our class from Simpson Junior High School making a total of forty- eight members. Miss Bonda and Mr. Newlon wero our sponsors. Wo held a Christmas Festival in 3£ the gyn that wa3 a groat success. It was tho first of its kind held in the school. Then, at last our hopes were fulfilled— both boys and girls won the Senior High Championship in basketball. On rolled spring. On May the sixteenth we gavo the Seniors a banquet which was hold in the gym. On Friday May 22 the students of tho Junior and Senior classes wont to Grafton for tho Prom which was hold in the Field House at Grafton High School. In September 1942 we entored school again to begin our final yoar of schooling In Flem- lngton High School. Some will continue their schooling olsewhero. Some will go to work in factories to help win the war. Some will go into the services of our country. May 12th and 13th we will give a play, The Trail of the Lonesome Pine , which we hope will bo a success. Thi3 yoar our class will not get to make the customary trip to Washington, D.C. be- cause of the war. Our class is giving to tho school an electric scoreboard bought with tho' proceeds of tho money from the class treasury. We will be honorod April 17th by the Juniors with a Junior-Senior Banquet. This year there will bo no reception at Grafton because of the gasoline rationing, but the reception and banquet will be combinod and hold at our own high school. This will end tho social activities of our schooling. School will end this yoar May 7th because of tho lack of funds to operate tho schools In our cotinty. Tho Sermon will be held Wednesday May tho 5th, Rev, William Ward of tho Presby- terian Church, Elkins, delivering tho sermon. Commencement will be held Thursday May 6th. Dr, J.

Our Home Economics Club and class have been very active In Red Cross Work. Ihe Seniors along with a few Juniors have raado mony surgical gowns and soldier’s kits. The Glee Club has again been organized by Miss Chonowoth and is doing splendidly. With Mrs. Talbott as pianist the members ore now rehoarsing songs for the Senior Sermon and Commencement. The Thespian Club sponsored four one- act plays last fall. The Soniors gave ’’Cabbages”; the Juniors gave ”V-As in Victory”! the Sophomores gave White Phantom”; and the Freshmen gave Billy's First Date . There were many now members added to the roll of the club. Mary Burton was president. This year for the first time two men from the Forestry Department conducted a four-hour class for the boys who were willing to fight fires when called upon. By the aid of the Aviation class several of the boys were able to take the V-12 exami- nation. The award for passing this test would be a scholarship to any college. Upon finishing the collego course the student would receive the rank of Ensign in the Navy.

After six months of trial and strife, wo wore convinced, by the Hone Economics teachor, that the basement was no place to eat our lunches, and the principal s office was not a torture chambor.. Violet Davis, who got a front scat so as to bo a pet, wishod sho had taken a back seat, when a voice from tho speak- er in the corner scared us all almost to death. All the lipstick on Dolores Robinson (who had put it on for the first time) wasn’t there after that. We hardly knot Lev,-is Stout, who 3 ad worn overalls all his life, whon he came t3ie first day, looking liko a business man from the city. Mr, Talbott■s announcements were always interrupted by a sound like a horse eat- ing (which was really Roland Findley eating in class). Then we ventured into our eighth year, whon the girl3 won the basketball trophy, and wo just about put every ono out of tho build- ing. Ersol Pepper was tho hoavy-wcight cham- pion of that year, with Jimmie Succurro his opponent. Ersel is now in the Navy, acting as champion against tho Axis. In thi3 year tho girl3 woro out their shoes parading past tho boys’ room. But, then, rationing wasn’t in vogue, and 3tamp 17 was an unknown quantity. Boliove it or not, in the inter-class tourna- ment, Ruth Mitch won a tooth-brush for being tho smallest girl to mako a score. Nothing very important happened in our ninth year, except having civics to Mr, Hall. Ruth Hitch, as our prosidont, had her troubles keeping us straight. In oiir tenth year Mi’, Talbott was resigned to holding special classes after school , especially for us. Even this didn’t dampen our enthusiasm. The girls boat the present senior class in the basketball tournament.' East Fair- mont had not yet sont us Bill Davis. B We rus heel into our Junior year a dwin- dling class—but a3 carefree as ever. Little we know what responsibility wo had to face in trying to make money for the banquot, and setting a good example for the lowor classos ”Here's hoping” they have as much fun in Mr. Snider's class as we have. Simpson very kindly sent us several students to join our happy family. Wo have a few budding romances. The main one is Martha Mitch and Roland'Findley. Although there is some competition, we feel sure that he'll win in the end. Vivian Gaines always has more money in the treasury than accounted for. Frank Spadafore stixl gets into troublo in chemistry class. The Junior Class took the cake for the cheering section at the tournament this year. We leave you new, with the history ®f our senior year yet to be written. % Tonth Grado Class Roll Boys James Bonne11 Tony Catonzaro Janos Drainer Richard Hanoy Harold Kelley Wayne McCauley Edward McGee Okoy Potors Roland Purkoy Eugene B.

Just outside the door, huddled together in mute embarrassment and anxiety, were sixty-four membors of what became the Sophomores of 43. Gently attempting to dispel tho foar of ' the strangers, the faculty bade thorn to enter, and spent the next few weeks attempting to gain ®ur confidence and friendship. At first we ofton wished we had never been found, but before the year was over we had become thoroughly at home in our new surroundings, During that year we became interested in a new and different exercise known os baskotball, and attained a slight degree of prowess in it As eighth graders in 1940, the routine of the classroom was now familiar and we found studying much easier than beforo. Our talents, discovered tho previous year, woro developing rapidly. During the inter-class tournament we won'trophies for the Junior High Championship, and a globe for having the best chooring section The next year we thirty-six students were given the name, Freshmen , No honors were won that year W® becamo Sophomoros tho next year, as was usually the custom, and v e welcomed to our small group nine boys and five girls from Simpson Junior High School who will spend the next two years with us enjoying F.H.S. Our class had more honor students the first senostor of this school year than any other class in F,K.S. We are very proud of this and hope that we can continue to keep this standing. This year we were runners-up for the I ►-f M senior high basketball championship, losing only to the Seniors During the baskotball season, two members of our class. Dotty Brown and James Trimble,'were given honors for good sportsmanship. Many of our class members will partici- pate in the commencement music.

In September 1940, sixty oight students made up the seventh grade, which subsequently became known as the Bluedevils • Miss Chen- oweth and Mrs.'Bonnie Newcome Harvey were class sponsors. In 1941, there wore still sixty-eight students who desired the name of ’’Wildcats”• Both boys and girls won the Junior high basketball trophy when they defeated Simpson We also won the prize for the best choering section. In the beginning of the school year of 1942 wo became freshmen. Our number of students was increased by many Simpson stu- dents. Mr. Whitescarvor was our sponsor until TJnclo Sam called. In October Mrs. Evans becamo our sponsor. This year our basketball tenm3 wero not so successful. The boys were defeated by the sophomores by one point. The girls were also defeated.

Scholasti- cally we didn't lead when it camo to making the honor roll but we made up for that when it came to athlotics. Both the Eighth Grade Boys and Girls won their respective group's trophy at the Inter-Class Basketball Tourna� mont. We had two parties this year both of which were highly entertaining.

We got acquainted with all the toachers Mrs Roof was the sponsor for the Seventh Grade Girls and Mr Snyder sponsored the Seventh Grade Boys. We had two parties, one at Hallows on and the other on Valontino Day. Mrs Roof helped us plan then; Scholastically, our class rated woll. All of our names didn't appear on the Honor Roll but we were represented well. Athletically, wc made a vory good show- ing for our first year of intbr-cla3s sports. Next year we hope that wo will do much better and really make a name for ourselves in Flenington High School.
