Like ghosts you have glided away, But the light of September '1|8 remains with us today. Many of our fellow students have left us. But always now and then in the wonderful night of memory Their faces glimmer again. Algebra and refresher math were offered without pain. With little consideration, we accepted algebra as our Subject-main. A few regrets were heard later in the 2rear, But most of the discourse was of good cheer. The second year was an eventful one with athletic victories And so much fun. Biology became our favorite course, though some students Still think an annelid is a horse. Stationery sales boomed like thunder, for our class fund Just couldn't go under. Thus closed a prosperous term, having jovial scholars with Ideals firm. As in a dream we heard the music swell, the enchantment Arising from the Junior bell. The ability to produce an excellent sales talk proved Valuable in money as well as by chalk. Magazine sales reached a record high; it and the Minstrel For top interest vie. The Junior-Senior Prom concluded a wonderful year. Soon we would be Seniors. Our minds were clear. Seniors! SeniorsJ Yes, we are, so to Washington we went far. The Prom, The Parties, The Work, The Tests received from Us students only our best. What a wonderful 2 5th of a decade this high-school has been. May all life be as pleasant and good always win. THE CLIMAX 9 This occasion is the climax of our youth. Through patient perseverance and conscientious work we have com- pleted our school course. Now we are preparing to rise higher on the ladder of life. Prom the very second that one is born, his destiny is contemplated by a cornucopia of people, therefore we, as graduating seniors, must diligently strive to become spokes in the great wheel of progress. There are two plans of life. One leads to eternal happiness; the other ends in a disrupted, sorry soul. These highways of life are not chosen for you. You, through your own discretion, select the course you will follow. It is the philosophy of such wonderful men as Father Flanagan that No one is really born bad. In this principle I also believe. One s character is moulded in childhood. If he has always known grief and infinite woe, he will undoubtedly feel that his life has been one of utter sacrifice and want to get revenge, but if he has had impartial parents and teachers who have invested him with comprehension, he will feel the world to be a sanctuary instead of a wicked dungeon. Let us now visualize the future of the present day teen-ager. Will his words and actions be immortal or will they be quickly obliterated? Graduation is a beginning and an end for all of us here. It terminates the time during which we were under the supervision of and dependent upon others. It is the beginning of a new life of independence. We are no longer students with childish views and conceptions, but we are adults with the world facing us. If we are simply an idle braggart, complete failure will be our compensation. On the other hand, if we are industrious and kind, great joy and tranquillity will remain with us. Wherever v e may be cast, whether it be in pleasant places or among the thorns and briar3 of life's pathways, we shall often think of our classrooms, just how each student looked, remember some pleasant incident, and think how short those hapny school days were. We shall then know how to say, Our school days were the happiest days of our life. Though we are saying farewell, our friendship and sympathy will never cease. 10 The Climax (cont.) You to the left and I to the right, for the ways Of men must sever, And it well may be for a day and a night. And it well may be forever. But whether we bleed or whether we smile IN the leagues that lie before us. The wars of life are many a mile and the dark OF fate is o’er us. Hero’s luck and cheer in the dark before us. Teachors and school companions, one and all, with a last lingering look at the setting sun of our high-school days shining with a tender radiance, clothing all the scene with glorious beauty, we turn and i ix our gase upon the day just dawning.

CLASS PROPHECY 12 The lots having decreed that we should foretell the fates at the close of the next twenty years of the members of Flemington High School class of '52, we felt that it would be a very depressin revelation because of the unkindness of fate to put a task upon Seniors, especially since we had never considered the future beyond our commencement day. However, this was more easily solved than we imagined, for one day while sxpcr mienting in the chemistry labor- atory, fate showed her first kindness by having us stumble upon a mixture of certain chemicals, (which can- net be divulged) t r; the numerals 1972 and following them as a panorama of the members of the class of 1952 In t.ae roles I hey were to assume in future life. First- ohrr.ugh the cloud- of: ohemibels, there passed before our start-]ed gaze, Joto iie Benr.ett seated in the Secretary-s Office making out a work sheet and a profit and iocs statement for the famous millionaire, D. L. Feneoun, in Pittsburgh. Y c could observe he was acc- urate, precise and attentive. Ysxt, wo saw a speaker addressing a large audience. C-lar.cing at the placard posted upon the platform, we were much surprised to sec Violet Workman1s name announc- ing her as the greatest political speaker of the day. Then upon the cloud there appeared two very business like persono just entering a large brick building. Upon taking a closer look we perceived that they were Mary Hu?bead and Glenn Simmon . A little closer scrutiny shcwcd'us that these two famous dancers had a stupendous studio in Chicago and catered only to the revival of the Oriental and Aesthetic dances. In a dense part of the cloud came a large stage and in. its midst stood Flemington High School's noted solo- ist— Pat5.7 Fenkins. Then to our astonishment filling the vacancy of the famous Paucrwski, the world's best pianist, Robert Savage,playing her piano accompaniment. They were oil’led as the leading attraction of the Met- ropolitan Opera House. We then saw a large office room and seated proudly at the desk was Martin Hustead,general superintendent of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. In one corner of the room was a charming young lady whom we recognized as his chief secretary. It was Rosalene' McDonough. 13 Class Prophecy (cont.) Suddenly there loomed into the midst a large church. The bride on the arm of her father was coming down the aisle. Uoon her approaching nearer we saw that the effulgent bride was' Loretta 'vVhitohair. The anxious and smiling groom was William Crouse. When we looked around we caught a glimpse of the dignified face of the mini- ster who was Richard Carder. The beautiful strains of the wedding march poured forth and we at once knew that these were produced by the gentle touch of Mary Saltis. Now the scene changed considerably. We noticed a well filled court room and a woman lawyer was earnestly pleading a case. We soon told from familiar gestures that the lawyer was Dorthy Cottrill. The judge who was presiding over the crucial case in a quiet and refined manner was Richard Bartlett. Next appeared through the cloud a work-ship in which we could see Paul Gallo cogitating. He is the inventor of the machine for splitting atoms. We could see a meeting of very diplomatic-looking people. Amcna these we saw Patty Stonko who was the first woman to be a member of the President's Cabinet. It just proves that all of patty's talking has really brought her success. Donnie Stewart next appeared. It would be difficult to foreTel’l'Donnie • s future even while at Flemington H igh School. H ere he stood a little more defiant, but just as stately as of old, as the head of the physics department of Kasson High School. In the midst of chemicals shaded brightly, Patti Thomas appeared. She was conducting her work beauti- Tu±Ty'ns an Evangelist in Harlem, New York. Under her supervision and spiritual influence hundreds were saved from the downward path. Her main topic was the Degrad- ing Morals of the Younger Generations. A. vast jungle was next visible and winding its way through this was a small caravan. But who is the leader? A lady? Impossible! io, not impossible for it is Myrtle Merritt, who was doing splendid work among the natives of the Belgian Congo as a missionary. And then to our great surprise we saw Emogene McCauley as the ASSISTANT. In the dense cloud a beautiful five hundred page book lay open. We discovered the author was Paul Stipe. 14 Class Prophecy (cont.) The title was Alertness in School and it was the nation’s Best Seller. We read the summary and under- stood it tiould be very inspiring to any student. One thing the cloud brought forth that was unpleasant. A Chrysler, ov ned by Donice Bartlett, was being towed back to a garage in Chicago. We decided he should learn to use an airplane when he wants to flyj In another burst of chemicals we were able to detect the beautiful countryside near Bern, Switzerland. We were amazed to see Jeanie Urtso and her seven children trailing up the Alps to tend to the herd of one thou- sand goats, for which she exports the famous Switzer cheese. When we peeped into the cloud again we say a beauti- ful hospital in Iran. In the ell-equipped operating room lying on the table was Aly Kahn who was having his esophagus removed under the skillful hand of the surge ion, Thomas Isabella. He was being assisted by his competent nurse, Phil Soino. After the next explosion we stood u'ape to see the familiar face of Charles Gibson and all the Little Gibsons conducting the former Arthur Godfrey program sponsored by Syrup Pepsin. Through the midst of chemicals we saw the Sacred Cow slowly gliding into safety at Palm Beach Airport in Florida. The husky pilot, Verah June Games, step- ped down from the cockpit and stood beside her passen- ger who was the most honorable president of the U. S, Charles White-hair, who was a Democrat and had been president for twenty years and had at last brought peace to the world. Heavens forbid! We all were so appalled at what we next viewed that it left us speechless. In the con- venient kitchen of the Boys’ School at Pruntytovm we found the valedictorian of the class of 1952, Anna Milinovich, as head cook. We all stood in amazement and could think of no explanation. Oh! Hurrah! Well! Look.’ Jean Blake the girl while at Flemington High School who wo’uld fight for her rights was now holding her doctor’s degree in mathema- tics from Columbia University. She was the wife of the president of that famous institution and the mother of nine little mathematicians. Class Prophecy (cont.) 15 Through the vapor it was hard for us to find Eloise Mitchell because '. he i us touring the world with her fam- ily un'd her destination was Barbour County. Boom! Hoiv could v e believe our eyesl What a change! Mary Alice Ervin who was noted in high-school for her love affairs ar.ci engage ients, was now living on the beau- tiful island of Bermuda on her millions that she acquired by interior decorating. But lo and behold she was a maid. Then appeared Lola Peters GIVING A GRAND BALL on Fifth Avenue. She was one of the most popular of New York's society leaders. Also she confiscated all slum areas and turned them into beautiful homes. Now the scene changed as we sat there waiting for the next explosion of chemicals. To our amazement we saw Betty Jenkins wording diligently at the Veterans Hospi- tal in the arthritis ward rubbing the joints of a G. I. With a sudden flash, another familiar face stared at us. It was Betty Andrews advertising soap with the famous old slogan under her name Keep that school girl complexion. Betty was so pretty in our school days and from the loots of her picture she still was. Next driving leisurely along in a beautiful car was Grace Brown. V e discovered Grace was Advertising Mana- ger of New York Times. She seemed to be holding conver- sation with her dressmakers as they drove along. Then Clara Wolford appeared. She was the proud owner of 2 large restaurants in the state of West Vir- ginia. With most of her profit she buys defense bonds which is a wonderful way to help our country. Then upon the cloud there appeared Ann Johnson in a fluster. She had made several tours of the world as an F. B. I. investigator. She was still interested in exciting events and not wanting to miss anything. V e all recalled her old familiar saying. Do it again, I didn't see it. As the bubbles of the chemicals began to disappear we saw Barbara Davis as a most outstanding teacher and hold- ing a ccrtifica'fo of three degrees, proudly teaching Algebra and Plane Geometry at Flemington High School. As the last bubbles diminishes and finally broke away, we, the Seniors of ' p2 found ourselves standing appalled along with our teachers, Mr. Corbin and Mr. Svecker in the chemistry room of F. H. S. ;ln Today Already Walks Tomorrow 16 This i s a fact which means importance and prophesy of the future to you and to me. It is inevitable that the problems and sorrows of tomorrow will fall upon us, today's youth, who will be tomorrow's citizens. Our youth of today are exposed to many temptations and situations that are unnecessary, many of which are derived from shortcomings of yesterday's youth. We can look to previous generations for the explanation of the chaos of today. There has never been enough thought given to tomorrow. Human beings live for today and think too much in terms of yesterday. Yesterday should not be re- greted but it should have taught us an invaluable lesson. Our homes are a most important factor in the con- struction of standards in our youth. A broken home means lives of animosity, crushed pride, dulled minds, careless souls, and poor attitudes. Some mothers and fathers have no forethought. All that troubles them are their own selfish wishes. A child caught between his most loved ones cannot lead a normal life after the mental strain of his parents unconcern for his welfare. Many cases could be recreated if it be the will of those involved. Anyone can be disagreeable, therefore it's something gained if one will be tolerant. People don't take time to say Thank you to to show appreciation for achievements or favors. These incidents may not seem influential but the outcome has a bearing on the attitudes of our youth. Each child, whatsoever his ideas and ideals, has a place in the lives of others. Home guidance, training, teaching of security, and affection are factors that build character, so being, the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world . Good teachers are a must for students to become leaders. Their teaching and exemplary action helps to create the basis and interest for bettering oneself. A person who has the quality to enter into a. life of serving the public must have an honest and optimistic view of to- day and tomorrow. Hov: much better this-our generation's tomorrows could have been had we had expert leaders, bearing in mind that in today already walks tomorrow. Our young boys would not be losing their lives now in Horea if the world had better leaders. But here we are caught-up in a so-called police action. Leaders must have the future in mind when decisions are made because what does happiness mean today if we have double remorse tomorrow. cont 17 United we stand, divided we.fall is a task set before our youth to guarantee we won't fall. he have not fallen so far in our task. V.e have come to the end of our one job. Nov; a larger job confronts us. V e must succeed. We will anticipate a warm welcome into the unsheltered ranks of life. If you are not over impressed with our looks we ask you to remember that true greatness is within, not with- out . Should you not be greatly moved by our words of wisdom and oratory we would remind you that still waters run deep . Even if we are not especially distinguished as a class we are proud and pleased to welcome you to the scenes of our victory.

Since the bea inning of the school term, two members of our class have moved and are now attending other schools. These are: Gene Lemmons and Jack Upton; however, we added two new students. They are Nettie Wilfong and Leota Harris. The school calendar called for assemblies from . the classes, and first on the agenda was the Junior Class. Several skits were offered, and were enjoyed by the entire school. As usual, basketball came into the spotlight, and the Junior Class was well represented, placin- six men also on the first seven. Following the fairly successful basketball season, the students of the school and the public were enter- tained by our annual class tournament. The Junior girls were runners-up in the tournament, having lost a close contest to the Senior girls; however,_the Junior boys' showed a combination of basketball skill, willingness, and determination in defeating a persistent Senior Class team. Next, the Junior Class embarked upon a new oper- ation—that of selling J. Eddie’s Easter ergs, and it was found to be very succe3sful--the class having profited to the extent of 106.00. As we closed the egg campaign, we undertook and completed a magazine which proved to be not too suc- cessful. The class had a profit of approximately . � 100.00. The Junior-Senior Banquet was a great success, the theme of which was credited to our sponsor, Mrs. Burton. V e hope that the coming year will be as enjoyable as our Junior year.

There were 1+5 pupils at the beginning and at the end of the year five students were absent from our class. Three of our students, Charles Cox, Clarence Cox, and Gene Guzzi joined the service. We had our assembly program April. 1, 1952. It was sponsored by Mrs. Talbott and Mr. John Findloy. We are proud to say we had 100$ our class oarticipating in the program. The member of our class who leads in scholarship is Ima Jean Sines. One of our class parties was held on February 13� 1952. It was given by the students of room 11 for those of room 3 as a'reward'for paying their class dues first. It was a Valentine te rty, and each student in room 11 made a Valentine box containing food to serve a member from room 3. On March 17, 18, as d 19 we ha$ our inter-class tour- nament. Although we didn't win the Championship, one of our students, Bud Hudkins, won best sportsmen ship in the senior high. We think he deserved it. Both boys and girls of the sophomore class were ri+nners-uo in the tournament, and we hope to be champs next year . Our class von the senior high cheering sec- tion, but we think most of the credit goes to our cheer- leaders, Nina June Moyer and Jo Ann Thompson. The rirls' team was composed of Jackie Sandy, Margot Brown, Betty Laitz, Shirley Wilfong, Pauline Stonko, Roberta Green, Buelah Whitehair, arid|Dora Martin. Their coach was Shirley Wilfong. On the boys' team were Bud Hudlkins, Jack Dillon, Ronald Griffith, Robert Riffle, George Carder, Bill McDonough, and Billy Marshall. They were coached by Roland McCauley. Our class had a stationery camoai gn. We made a y profit of $57.65 which will help us ft lot in fcur senior year. We think these nine months of school have gone much too fast and we are all looking forward to our junior year. We wish to thank our class sponsors and other teachers for their splendid patience with us during our sophomore year. FRESHMEN CLASS ROLL 24 Girls 1. Adams, Frances 2. Bailey, Imojean 3.

Assembly Program: In November our class was in charge of the Thanksgiving program sponsored by Mrs. Piccolo and Miss Withers. We gave two short plays, a few skits, and some voice and piano selections. Celebration of Christmas: V e enjoyed decorating our home room and participating in the annual Christmas cele- bration held in the auditorium. Pictures: We all put on our best faces and smiles for our class pictures which weren’t too bad considering we were the ones in them. Valentine Party: V e were all very much surprised and delighted when our sponsor and home room teacher gave us a Valentine party. Refreshments were served and the valentines were soon distributed. Class Tournament: V e all agree that we should have re- ceived a booby prize for losing all four of our games. It was very heartbreaking to lose the last game to the 8th grade by one point, but we think everyone will agree that it was the most exciting game of the tournament. Teacher’s Absence: V e were rlad to see our favorite Civics teacher back in school after a long absence due to sickness. She was sporting a new hair-do but under- neath, we soon discovered, it was the same Mrs. Cardot. Class Party: We are not' making plans for an indoor party. We all hope it is a success. Surely one thing we poor Freshmen do this year will turn out all ri htl All kidding aside, the Freshmen Class and sponsors extend their heartiest congratulations to our splendid Seniors and we wish them luck, success, and hapoiness in the future. 8th Grr.de Class Rol 1 26 Girls 1, Blake, Bobby 1, 2, Bramer, John 3.

S« on Sept. if, 1951, with 56 students. We were happy to hear Mr. Corbin and Mrs. Cardot were our homeroom teachers, but were very sorry when Mr. Corbin was called to the Marines. We then welcomed Mr. Sweeker as one of our class sponsors. We cersc started our term with the election of class offi- Section A President.........Patty Bell Vice Pres.........Nancy Johnson Secretary.........Patty Jenkins Treasurer.........Norma Marshall Section B President.........Jackie Stewart Vice Pres.........Shirley Simmons Secretary.........Violet Whitehair Treasurer.........Jerry Riffle On March 17, 18, 19, our class tournaments were held. We selected Nancy Johnson, Charlene Blake and Pauline Devart as our class cheerleaders. Our class colors are black and ’white. We were defeated by both the 8th grade boys and girls, but we received the prize for the best cheerleaders in the Junior High. Lloyd Putzek, Philip Sparling, Bobbie McCauley, James Mayles, Bobbie Bolton, Jackie Crouse and Charles Devart composed our boys team. Those on the girls team were: Juanita Moore, Jackie Stewart, Charlene Rus, Jeraldine Riffle, Josephine Sebori, Patty Bell and Dorthy Allen. We welcomed Alice Bailey, Jimmy Ross and Peggy Jo Heayes to our class the second semester. Our assembly program was a gala affair of May 6. We enjoyed our first year at F. H. S. and hope the next year will be even more eventful. We wish the Seniors of «52 all the luck, success and happiness in the years to come. Band 1951-1952 30 The school year of 1951-52 began with 29 students tooting horns and beating drums and 7 girls twirling batons and a bos’- wearing a big hat. This was our band. Mr. Charles Corbin, the instructor put everyone right to work. Soon the band showed its colors in the Philippi Street Fair. T.7e participated on September 20. !7e had several grade s chool students who played w ell ehough that they took part in most of the band activities. T e were honored with an invitation to the Forest Festival in Elkins. V e went on October 5 and we received favorable comments on our small band. Our townspeople who couldn't follow us on our trips were spectators at the basketball games of the season when the band played and the majorettes went through varied routines. On November 29 Mr. Corbin left us for the marines. V e struggled along with no one to help us. Drum major, Johnny Bennett, led our band until Mr. Vincent Moats came to take over instruction at the beginning of the second semester. Buckle-down was the word as Mr. Moats started preparations for the Band Festival in Morgantown. The product of our efforts improved, but we lacked the necessary instruments to play for a rating as had been done in the years previous. Ann Johnson, Eloise Mitchell, and Angela Pollard represented the Flemington High band in the mass band at the festival. The entire band marched in the parade and assembled in the field house for the concert of the mass band after the parade. The band presented a concert for the public on May 26 on the pavilion in front of the Methodist Church. Band letters were given this year for the first time to the graduating members. The seniors eligible to receive letters were: Charles V hitehair, Eloise Mitchell, Patti Thomas, Ann Johnson, Jean Blake, and Johnny Bennett. Letters will also be presented to graduate members who have graduated since and including the school year of 194C-49. Flemington band was on the scene at the Memorial Day Parade in Grafton on May 30. The memories are of a happy and progressive year Thespian Activities 1951-52 32 The school year nineteen hundred, fifty-one and fifty-two opened with the Thespians’ membership deoleted to a great extent; therefore it was necessary to bring new members into the organization. Thirty-seven can- didates took the informal initiation on September 20, and on September 28 became fully-pledged members of Troup No. 19. The club decided to have a Halloween party; therefore, on the 26th of October a masnuerade party was enjoyed by the group. Next, we found ourselves joining the school in the Christmas assembly. Names were drawn and presents brought by the members of the club. These presents were distributed during the assembly program. Pictures were takon for the year book on March 12, 1952. We had the Easter chapel program on April 9� in which the entire group participated. The program ex- emplified the Betrayal by Judas, The Last Supper, The Crucifiction of Christ, and the Resurrection. A three act play was presented by the club entitled Billy’s Goat. V e sincerely hope that the new members will be an inspiration to Thespians of the future and will live up to the standards of the club of past years.

Glee Club This is a class of music for students from the ninth grade through the twelfth, and is directed by Mr. L. W, Talbott. It is to interest the students in singing music and they sing in assembly programs, graduation services, and for enjoyment, There are 70 members in this group. There is also a glee club for the -«Junior high singers. Our club has made considerable progress this year. Drill Club This cl b is directed by Mr. E. A. Whitescarver. The purpose of it is to train the members in close order drill which will be of great benefit to them if they enter the Armed Forces. Close order drill is of value in the disciplining of troops and in orderly movement of them from one location to another. It is also of use in cere- monies There are approximately 20 members in drill club. BASKETBALL 3£ Although not always victorious, oufc athletic teams have made a very good showing this year. Even though the basketball team won only eight games, it was noted for its fine sportsmanship. The team played a few exciting games that could have easily been victories. Among these was the home game with Belington, Flemington was enjoying a seven point lead with two minutes 16ft to play, when the visitors staged a comeback which turned victory into defeat for the Flem- ington Five, On February 27, our team journeyed to the sectional tournament at Clarksburg In the Carmichael Auditorium we played a strong Bridgeport team which had defeated us by large scores in seasonal play Our rivals won by a close decision, 61-55� Those boys receiving letters this year are: David Popovich, Robert Riffle, Jack Dillon, and Albert Smith. Thbse receiving bars are: Doc McCauley, Okey Gibson, and Bob Savage. Flemington will continue to improve in years to come since several underclassmen saw extensive service this year.
