A large group of stray boys and girls came to Flemington High School. They were to find lat- er-in there yeors--that this was one of the turning points in their lives. In the seventh grade Mr. Cather and Miss Chenoweth were our nome room teachers. We intered the eighth grade with more en- thusiom than ever. Winning the inter-school basketball championship for Junior rligh really g3ve us a greatness that no one could take away at least for the time being. In our Freshmen year nothing much happened. We just drifted along, believing that no one v.as as good as v.e. We tried to run teachers and everyone else out of the building. Our bophoraore year was packed with enterest- ing, events . It; was at tnis time in our journey that Mr. Talbott started holding classes after school. This is when v;e learned what discipline really meant. . .. . . We entered our Junior year knowing that part of our classmates could never accomplish the goal for which tney had been aiming. A few of the boys knew most of there fun in school would soon be over. This knowledge made some of the teacher live a hard life. Study Hall seemed like home for most of them because they hud most of their classes there. It was in this year we won the cheering section with Dolores RoDinson and Settle Annegan as cheerleaders. The Ax my ..md Navy honored us by taking Earl Jones, Carmel Sterling and Francis Hess. Our Senior year came rolling around and there were several of the boys and girls who did- n’t cone back. This mede our class small in number but it didn’t mean that we were unimport, ant, because there were Seniors in every clu and our Seniors more than held their place on the honor roll. In our Senior year as a new decorat- ion we added the enter-school girls championship banner to the walls of our home room. fj In this year one of our classmate, Mayple White journy was ended forever. We missed her but the job we set out to do had to be finished. It seemed our tragedies would never end. For in our last few months John Bobela and Robert Marks were taken from us to march in that large parade of boys going forth with victory as there song. We presented Little Women as our annual Senior plsy. The Banquet was given for us by the Juniors on' May 13, with a prom afterwards it wo3 something for which the Seniors will remember the Juniors for many years. With our journy just . about over at Flemington High School we will go on. We know not our destination but with victory as our goal we shall all be in the fight. Senior Class Will We, the senoors of the , of Flemington High Scoool, of the City of Flemington, of the County of Taylor, and the state of West Virginia feel since we are growing older that lj£e is uncertain, and death will come to us sooner or later much later, we hope We possess a few tokens w e wish to leave in the care of others, our enemies as well as our friends. To the Seniors of ’45 we leave our home room ana our dear sponsors. Follow their guid- ance and they will 1 ead you safely through all your difficulties. To the present Sophomore Class we leave our corner in the g.ym. We hope it brings you as much luck as it has us. • To the. present freshmen class we leave ovr high grades both in studies and conduct. We hope you keep them as high as we have. H® the seventh and Eighth grades we 3e ave our experiences in the school of hard knocks. Don't try to get away with everything, for we have found out it is impossible even when you are Seniors. To the faculty we leave our thanks for all the help you have given us in the past six years' T o Flemington High School w e leave our pleasant memories of the past years. We, the seniors, individually leave the following; Bettie Jeane Annegan wills her golden voice to Alpha Short. Mary Baliga Wills her height to boss Reger You should grow up quickly, Rossie. John Bobela wills his friendliness and teasing ways to Betty Brown Betty Davis leaves her ability to attract diamonds to Helen Singleton. Violet Davis «ills her slim waist-lme to ftichard Selvey. Roland Findley leaves his red hair to anyone, preferably gerald Riffle. GHJB8V Helen Gozik leaves her Gift of Gab to anyone who admires it. Vivian Gagnes leaves her ability to capture boys like Roland to Edna Fulton. Norma Glenn wills her dark eyes to Fred Hurst. Robert Marks leaves his physics book to any- one who thinks he can pass the course. Ruth Mitch leaves her ability to create laughter in class by her clever remarks to Helen Hall. Martha Mitch wills her qjick, fiery temper to Donald Newlon. Helen Marteny leaves her ability to play basketball to Mary Ann lawthella. Louise cGee leaves her giggle to Richard G iffard. Charles Newhouse leaves his muscles along with a lot of hot air to Richard Haney. George Powell leaves his big ears to Eugene Riffle. Norma Jean foole wills her ambition to be a surgical doctor to Richard Cox. Dolores Robinson wills her small feet to Janes Bonne11 May Shaffer wills her plumpness to Nadalene Moyer. Jimmy Succurro wills his brains to any six people who need them. Lewis Stout leaves to Linda Reese his habi-t of rushing into the room, knocking over several seats, just one minute before the tardy bell rings. Anna swirple leaves her pleasant disposi - tion and amiable ways to her brother, steve in hopes he does not beo 'me a prize fighter. Ella Stipe leaves her ability to love only one boy at a time to Christine Wilsont Margaret Ulm leaves her blushes to Barbara Stewart. Catherine Ulm wills her quietness to Lance Williams. Don't be too quite, L ce, or people w n't know you. We do hereby declare this to be our last will Class Prophecy After many years of successful work as an army nurse during the war, Betty Davis finds herself capable of taking care of that little family. Feeling herself in the need of a vacation she takes a train to California and much to her sur?v prise she sees across the isle a light-haired, blue-eyed lady whom she immediately recognizes as her old classmate, Ella Stipe, who is secretary to J. C. Dithers and Co. They begin to discuss their school days at Flemington High School and wonder what life has held for each of their classmates of 'UU. Having nothing in particular to do, they decide to locate these old friends. From an acquaintance they learn that George Powell is now working as a motion picture direc- tor in Hollywood. After talking with him George tells us that this is the only way he could find to love them all at the same time. He tells us that he is working on a thrilling new picture entitled Burlesque Queen, starring Margaret Ulm as Queenie . After personally talking with Margaret we find that she had long ago given up her ambition to be a cadet nurse for the bright lights of Hollywood. She tells us she has re- cently visited her sister, Katharine Ulm, who is doing a fine job of making her husband happy and bringing up those nine boys, whom she hopes will some day make a big league baseball team. After tiring of the glamour of Hollywood we take a plane across the continent, seeking new faces and amusement. On going aboard we find we ere to be piloted by Bettie Annegan, who is very nervous, this being her first flight after completing school. She is still carrying with her that secret ambition to become a second Amelia Earhart. Upon arriving in India we find we are just in time for the wedding of a noted prinoe. As the procession passes by, we are astonished to find that the bride is none other than Helen Marteny. To leave India we take a clipper to Switzer- land. While retiring on the lounge at a local hotel, we observe in a newspaper a familiar face which proves to be that of Mary Baliga, who is famous for her skiing ability. On returning to the States by way of Hawaii, we are met at the boat by a procession of Hula dancers, led by the graceful Louise McGee, who quickly learned the language of the Natives and worked as an interpreter during the war. Feeling that a celebration was due upon our return to New York, we visited the Stork Club'’, On entering we recognize a familiar voice calling CIGARETTES” as that of our old classmate, Anna Swirple. Needing the nuiet, soothing peace of the West, we decided to visit Arizona. On passing a Dude Ranch we are hailed by a girl, who under all the powder and paint of Broadway and the typical dress of the cowgirl, we recognize to be May Shaffer, who had come West in hopes of lassoing a man when he wasn't looking. At May's invitation we visited a Rodio and found the star performer to be Martha Mitch, whom we hardly recognized because she had dyed her hair a brillant red against the protests of her husband, whom after much inquiry we found to be Charles Newhouse, owner of the Rodeo. The next decided to visit Idaho. Having lost our way, we stopped at a small but neat farm house which we found to be the home of Vivian and Roland Findley. While chatting over our tea Roland told us he had long ago given up hope of entering West Point because they were unable to make trousers the right length. The only person capable of doing this was Vivian Gaines. W ljj0 The distance not being far we traveled by automobile to the lumber State, Oregon, where we found the people much exicited over a famous con- tractor who was cutting down half the trees of Oregon. After much inquiry we were amazed to find it to be Bob Marks. He told us that he had recently received a letter from Dolores Robinson who was announcing her marriage to the manager of the National Standard Supply Co. Next visiting the State of Arkansas we visit a county fair where we find Lewis Stout taking much pride in his prize winning hogs. His lifelong ambition to become a farmer had at last proved successful. While visiting an Indiam Reservation we find Norma Jean Poole delivering all sorts of pastries to the homes of the Indians. She tells us this is tne only way she can be near a certain young Indian Brave. As we journey East to Mississippi we find Helen Gozik mailing a letter to West Virginia addressed to Anne Hj_r.st asking her advice about her love affairs. In desperation Helen tells us this is her last hope. By bus we came to Virginia where we decide to find Norma Glenn. We;were directed to a stately mansion and upon being admitted we found Norma weeping. She told us she was waiting for her youthful husband as usual. In order to console Norma, we suggested going to a carnival. Upon arriving our curiousity was aroused by a group of people gathered around a booth. Imagine our surprise to find the attraction to be our old classmate, Ruth Mitch, who was selling kisses at $5.00 each. On our return to our home State we stopped at Richmond. Here on a street corner we find the Brains of the Senior class, Jimmy Succuxto, selling bananas in order to support his wife and twelve kids. Finding it necessary to return, we at last started homeward. Upon arriving in Flemington we were met at the bus by the spinster, Violet Davis, who is employed in Merandi's Clothing store. After questioning her Violet tells us she isn't married. Society Column Y e Senior, ” uiz Kids of '44,” -jade our debut into the social world in the seventh grade with Miss Chenoweth and Mr. Cather as our sponsors. A party was given «ack in the good old days at which we rolled tires and had a good time. In the eighth grade we had not lost our eager- ness for parties and kept Miss 4� ters and Mr. Hew- lon busy explaining why we could not have one more frequently than the lower classes were allowed. v;« were pacified with a weiner roast and high hopes of when we would become upper classmen and have more privileges. A very trying to be grown up,' group presented themselves to Mr. Hall and Mr. V.r_itescarver to begin their freshman year of studies and to be seen once more in the social column. A weiner roast was decided on and given in early spring the first tine the weather permitted. v!e now wonder if Helen Marteny had any tires left on her bicycle after everyone had a turn to ride it around the athletic field. Our sophomore year began with the boys and girls combined to form a very happy and companionable group. Our almost annual weiner roast was held in early spring. Social obligations did not keep John Bobela from taking first honors in a spelling bee held within the school. Wo _ow look forward to our Junior year. Our Junior year started off with a bang. Our sponsors were Miss Benda and Miss Murray. Later Mrs. Virginia V right joined our happy group replacing Miss Murray who left for another position. A touch of sadness was felt by all when a farewell party was given in honor of Carmel Sterl- ing and Earl Jones who left for the Armed Forces. ■ST We were quite honored April 17th by being able to have the first prom at Flemington High, Ti.e banquet and prom was combined and given in honor of the Senior Cl ss of '43. The theme. Spring, was carried out in the program and in decorating the gym. Tut. ;.elcone speech was de- livered by Charles Newhouse, the response by Mary Singleton and a solo by Roberta C..enoweth. Mr. L. W. Talbott introduced the guest speaker, Dean Oliver Shurtleff, whose talk was enjoyed by all. A duet by Ella Stipe and No.raa Poole was given. A very enjoyable reading was presented by Nellie Williams. The program was ended with everyone's singing :,It is Springtime in our High School.” We then entered the gym for a very enjoyable eve- ning of dancing. We now look forward to next year when we will be known as the Dignified Seniors.” As we assembled for our Senior year, a great difference was noticed in the enroll lent. Our class had diminished as some have joined the Armed Forces, some are employed in war work and others have gone to distant cities. Mi. Hall, as our class sponsor, continues to keep his good humor and pleasant smile. A ui- sadness entered our group as a farewell party was given in honor of John Bobela, who left to serve his country in the Army. Howard Brown, a former member of our class, now a seaman in the Navy was home on leave and attended the party. We won’t soon forget the Farmer party where everyone was dressed in true farmer fashion. Wo..Jer what Lewis Stout did with that hat? And do you think Charles Newhouse and Bettie Annegan will crash the movies with that splendid rendition of jitterbugging? Well, we just wondered. We are to be honored May 13th with a banquet end prom given for us by the Junior Class sponsor- ed by Miss Nellie Williams and Miss Ruth Withers. The theme will be music. We wish to express our thanks and appreciation and know that everyone will have a very enjoyable time. V1 u ►'! ►J As we leave our dear Almo Hater we take our bow out of the social column. We hope the on- coming classes will have as many pleasant mem- ories to take $tway with them, as we have to carry away with us, as we each go our separate way.

We went to Morgantown to the sec- tional tournament but were defeated by Univers lty High in the first ga- ' me of the tournament If you have followed the team you too will say that the hoys did a very good Job. When we were defeatod, it wasn’t by a very large margin of points. Most of the team will be back next year (we ho- pe) therefore we can look forward to a pretty goorf baakefcball season I do doubt that the weather oould be more suit- able in any year than in thd past one. We were very fortunate in having clear roads and only mild rains on any trip Then of course there was the inter-class tour- nament, held anually. The Junior boys won the ban- ner for the Champion Senior High Boys Team!! And the Senior Girls took the banner for the Champ- ion Senior Girls Team. The prizes were very good this year, said due to the war there was more cash and fewer material prizes. The eash was used to buy War Btamps and they in turn were awarded as prizes. The officiating according to our COACH (Mr.Hall) seemed to be the best that we have had in several years .

GIRLS1 BASKETBAU. in the past years the girls of F.H.S. have played an important part in the fieidof sports. They have had seasons of success. Due to the war the team of 42-43 was rather unfortunate, competing in only one game with Kasonn which Flemington lost. The team of this year was more fortunate, although, transportation was somewhat an obstacle we did play eight games of which we lost three. This season found us with a new caach, Mr. Talbott. Our former coach was Miss Anna Benda, now Mrs. Edward Whitescarver. We want to thank Mr. Talbott for his splendid coacning. He is a sv ell coach and we have enjoyed working with him, to him we wish luck and success. So, as we pass out of the doors of F.H.S. ending our basketball career, we wish to the futur teams, luck and success in the years to came. Games W. Flemington W. Flemington W. Flemington L.

That was a question that remained 0 blank in our minds that day. We even found ourselves nuddled in corners and were led to our home rooms. Thbt year we gave the usual chapels expected of us, the girls giving an operetta, which was the first of its kind in the school history. We were nonored by having two of our students selected to go on the picnic thst was customary for the bast actors and actresses selected from each class. He also went out for basketball end entered the class tournament but we won no honors. Our three months of vacation were drawing near and we were oil sorry because we had learned much under the direction of our teachers. Ve were now ready to enter into our second year of Junior High School, our sponsors being Hiss Williams and Hiss Rogers. We went out for basketball again this year and won the junior high championship and the prize for the best junior high cheering section. Vacation soon rolled around again and we were ready to become freshmen. We entered our freshman year with a sort of awe because tnis year we were in Senior High. We had our usual round of dramatics and sports that year but we won no honors. M c I W« were now ready to become Sophomore3. We took part in dramatics and basketball and were runners-up for the Senoirs championship. We were honored by having the group from Simpson High join us, We were now ing the war and one of our boys. Jack Taylor, joined the Navy. This year we are Juniors as is the custom. The boys won the Senior High Championship in Bask- etball. We gave the Christmas chapel program whioh was considered very good by all. On May thirteenth we gave the Seniors the an- nual banquet which was a great success. Our theme was music and oil decorations followed the theme. The program was musical which consisted of a music� al drama, musical readings and solos by students and faculty. Guest speaker was Father Carroll. Immediately following the program, chairs were pushed back and the prom began which lasted until twelve o'clock. We hope that the Seniors enjoyed themselves because we aid everything we could to make it a success. We are looking forward to becoming Seniors with anticipation, yet with regret, because we kn- ow it will be the finish-of our high school days. Our class has decreased in number, two of our boy3, James Trimble and Grey Riffle, having gone into the armed forces. So ends the Junior Class History. B. J.

When we were Eighth Graders the students from Wendel were added to our class. In 1943 those who were in the Ninth Grade at Simpson were brought to Flem- ington High School. At each basketball tournament members of our class have taken many prizes. This year the boy’s and girls’ teams were unsuccessful in not winning the rophies.

Our spon- sors were Mrs. Mary Roof and Mr. Joseph Snider. 1942-'43 found us as Eighth Graders with a total enrollment of fifty-two. Scholastically we didn’t lead when it came to making the honor roll, but we did tie for first place with the Tenth Grade at the end of che first semester. As for athletics both the Eighth Gr«-e girls and boys won the trophies at the Junior High Inter-Class Basketball Tournament. We also won the prize for having the best cheering section. Our class was awarded more prizes than any other class in school.
