Class H istory On a bright autumn morning in Sept., 1950, 42 now faces entered fleraington Junior, H igh. wore told that our sponsors would be Miss Elisabeth Shaw and Mr. Charles Corbin. ’7e went through the Seventh grade with flying colors; • • •« ,7e had our summer vacation and when we returned to good old’P. H. S., we were overjoyed to find our old classmates were with'us again. Our Sponsors for this year were Mrs; Pelvcra Johnsbn and Mr. Hal Findley. T'Te were very proud when two of our classmates, Vivian N ewheuse and Charles Shreve, were winners of the Golden H drsoshoe Test and represented Taylor County at the ceremonies at Charleston. In March the Class Tcumments began. ,7e defeated the Freshmen girls 33-4 and our boys defeated the Freshmen in a long remembered game 14-13. T7e found ourselves a more serious group in 1952 because we were how in our first year of senior high school. Our sponsors were to be Mrs. Piccolo and Miss Withers. In class toumments we found that our girls were still good in basketball. They were champs of the school. It was a sadder story for the boys though, for they lost both of their games. Me reentered F. H . S. as Sophomores. ,7e found that our sponsors, Trs. Olive Talbott and Mr. John Findley, were going to try to make salesmen of us. Our first campaign was to sell stationary, e felt rather bad when we found that we made only %0.00 profit. But we proved to bo better salesmen when we made -160.00 profit on eandy and fruit‘cakes. T7e were very proud of both our boys and girls in toumments. Our girls took the championship and our boys were runners up. Our Junior year was'very'busy but'prosperous one, with the help of our wonderful sponsor, Mrs. Piccolo. Our first campaign was to sell magazine subscriptions for the Curtis Publishing Company. ,re were happy to find when the campaign came to an end we had made a'profit of 113.50. Our second campaign was the selling of Easter eggs, but we were not quite as successful as we had been in the previous sale. Tien basketball season came around we were hapoy to find that we had half interest in the concession stand which was a very profitable enterprise as we made a profit of f’159.45. Our school was represented in Know Your State G ovemment Day by Shirley Shaffer and T eddy Olivio. Besides having a very prosperious year, we also had a very entertaining year. ,,re had a’hillbilly comedy called Feudin Over Yonder which was very successful. T'fe had a very interesting time planning the Junior-Senior Prom. VTe returned to F. H. S. on'Sept. 6, 1955 as jolly Seniors and much to our delight we found that Mr. Edward T’’hitcscarver was to be our sponsor. Page (2) w® very proud when ene of our students, Betty Richardson, won the oratorical'centest at Rowlesburg M. Va. She did very well and came in second. Then basketball season again rolled around, we found that we still had half interest in the concession stan d. ”ro'did very well we were also proud to find that two of our classmates, Charles Shreve and Jerry Moods, were on the basketball team. Charles was given honorable mention on the all state team, and both Jerry -md' Charles had much to do with F. H. S.� s becoming little ten champa. . T Te went to Washington an d had a marvelous time. ,fTe had the pleasure of having the guidance of Mrs. Francis Piccolo and ’Ir. Pobert Shields. Our Valedid orian was Charles Shreve and our Salutatorian was‘Betty Richardson. This concluded our Senior year at good old F. H. S.

Jalecne Findlay. and ayaelf, Batty Riehard-gan. had Just started eut -an aJsearch for the most dangerous criminals of the nation, Vivian Newheusc. and here sidekick Joan ffhlta. Their latest escapade was the theft of the beautiful Hopeless fiSireald from the ultrawealthy owner, Frances Jacobr. Our brilliant police commisioner, Blaine Kerns, had started us oil the chase early that morning after breifing us on the clues that had been found. It seemed that the night before, about 1:30 a.m., the wealthy Miss Jacobs had stuch her head out of a second story window and screamed for a policeman. Answering her plea for help was Charles Shreve. the lowest rookie on the force. Charles was recently placed in that position from that of police chief because he had become deathly ill while smoking a 5$ cigar in his office, and had been discovered by commissioner Kerns, who had thought Charles was hitting the bottle again. Well, there we were, searching. We decided to call on the victim first, life drove in a squad car and were admitted by Miss Jacobs dignified butler. Fete Wilfong. While we were waiting we saw someone who looked familiar ga past th daor. We looked again and knew it was Jeanie Riffle. She was Miss Jacobs's maid and had to work pretty hard, she said. We talked to Miss Jacobs and she gave us a match book cover sha had found. It was from a saloon called the Red Devil Inn. The cutia wha posed for the picture on the match cover was Mable Riffle. We went to the Red Devil and sneaked into the office af the preprietor, Teddy Olivio. He came in finally; we cornered him and put him through the third degree. He said he hadn't seen the criminals, but would take us to someone who could tell us where they were. On our way to the ‘stool pigion', we saw a drunk slumped over the bat with a drink in his hand. It was Bobby Blake, one af our old classmates. We asked if he knew anything aoout the theft af the Hopeless Baerald. He said yer. and what was it worth to find out where Hot-Mitts Nawhouse and Sticky-Fingers White were hidign out. I slipped him a 310 bill. He told us to go to a hotel over on Green Street called Staffer's Hotel. He said there was always a poker game going on in Raom 9 (there were 10 rooms in the place) and that a fence was usually thera ta r eive 'hat goods. When we walked up te the desk and started to ring the ball, we gat the surprise of our lives. Johnnie Isabella was the desk clerk! f«ge (2) He had always seemed t«. usv to be quiet and mild-mannered back in our school days, and the idea offhis working at a place like SHaffer's was unbelievable Wa asked “if we could see the manager or perhaps the owner. He told us the manager . AS the owner, and took us to her office, Shirley Shaffer, was a shock to us, too. She was MUCH taller, about 5 2| now, and looked like she weighed around 190 pounds, '.ften we opened the door, she was combing her hair (still up to those old habits) which was now blonde, J V e told her we knew that tyha crooks v;ere hidden there in her hotel and that we wdre going to search theplacel She told us to go ahead, se we did, We Went right to Rbom 9. i ho do you suppose we saw playing poker? Connie Sheets. Kay Bartlett. Alice Bailey, and Shirley Mavlei!! MFrom the looks of the chips, Kay was winning, and Connie was getting pretty mad about it. Of course, the gamo broke up when we arrived, and we started questioning the players about the fence1’. Ue knew if Hot-Mitts and Sticky-Gingers were around, they would contact whoever would take the Emerald off their hands. As it turned out, the fence wasn’t any of the four. It was Ruby Moore. She walked in, and before she saw us, •he sang out Any one got any ’hot goods to get rid of? Well, we nabbed her. ,'a learned after questioning her that Vivian and Joan hadn’t contacted her yet. Ue called in a couple of cop to watch things while we searched. First, we went to Room 1. To us it seemed to be the right place to start. Harley Green was in that room. He was down on his hands and knees. He told us he was practicing for the Tiddle-Uinks Tournament. He was the National Tiddle-V.lnks Champ, he said, and just HAD to get in shape. Ronnie Vincent was in Room 2. He was sitting at a desk going over some blue prints. From the size and quantity of them, we thought they must be for a sky-scraper or a suspension bridge, and we were getting ready to congratulate him on choosing Engineering for a profession when he told us they were for a new type of file to be used in his occupation •f safe-craking. We were startled when we saw Delbert Leach in Room 3 in front of a mirror primping just like Jeanie Riffle used to do. He told us that he had gone back to California where he was born, and had become the second A1 Capone, AFTER teaming up with Mary Anna Powell. They were becoming the two most notorious criminals in the West, Jerry Woods was in Room 4 He had a baseball uniform on. It had Yankees written across the front of it. Ue were awfully glad, because Jerry had always wanted to play for the Dodgers, . ell, it turned out Page (3) that; Jerry was a 2-purpose player and very valuable to his team. He was water boy, bat boy, and bench-warmer. His real job, for which the other three ivas a cover-up v as to get 'inside tips' for his boss, Erma Sandy, who was a Bookie . h'e hurried past the next rooms, which were empty, to Room 10. w’e opened the door and there, before our eyes, were Vivian and Joan. And That's not all. Becky Bland, who we found was the braines behind the outfit and John YJilfong, her left hand man were there, too. You know, that v as the biggest raid and the most successful in the history of Flemington and no need to say Joleene and I got promotions because of it. Oh, yes, Ch. rles Shreve got promoted, in thct deal,too. Now he's the SECOND lowest rookie on the force.

To us, the seniors of Flemington High School, it means that now we shall have to take our places in society. How wall we do, depends greatly on how well wefve spent these past twelve year . Some have worked diligently, and others have not, but let's hope everybody has a sufficient enough start. It's like building a house, if the foundation is no good, fch whole structure doesn't endure very long. So it is with the class, of 56' if we're not well prepared, time will tell These school days will stay with me and my classmates forever. This school is where we've spent the bigger part of six years %nce being here, many of us have established reasons for the building of future memories. Some have played in the band, on the athletic teams, in plays, the proms and many, many other things which all the time were the most important things in our lives. We have had a sample of what success tastes like, let it be an appitizer to us all. Let us strive ever onward, seeking ts. do better each and every day we live. We owe this much to ourselves and to the people who made this education possible for us. Our teachers, parents and each other, we thank sincerely. Our teachers have been our constant companions. They've been our instructors, our friends, and councelors. They know each of us as individuals, and what we do as individuals. We can only be successful to be appreciated by them. They have tried to teaeh us a lesson, if we've learned well we shall fit into this world knowing we belong. If we all would devote ourselves to the task of staking this world a better place to live, then we could make it a better place to live. The person that feels he is an important factor in our world, thinks and believes he is capable of bringing about changes. He aay influence a whole nation if he believes strongly. But someone who doesn't feol that things are going to be better really doesn't try to better them. The one hope of the free world is —that people who believe in doing good, living right, and remaining free, will always stand against such deteriating factors as neglect, forgetfullness, and the I don't care atitude. -2- (Val.) If this senior class has received adequate inspiration, then they will want to make a success of themselves. We should be the symbol of amoition, courage, and have faith in all people. If so, we shall stand out in the world as leaders, citizens, and any job which may have been undertaken by any of us. SCHOOL DAYS by Betty Richardson Salutatorian V e are glad that you are here to help us commerate the completion of 12 years of successful school work. We have reached the end of a period of our lives that will perhaps be remembered as our most enjoyed. We were no more than babies when we started our first year in school. From that point we have grown and matured into young men and women, nearly ready to accept adult responsibilities. As we look over the years, we recall the many good times we have had together and we realize that many of our school day friends will remain our friends throughout the rest of our lives. We know that, although these years cannot be relived, they will never be forgotten. For 6 years we have attended Flemington High School. Vte have tried our teacher's patience to the breaking point and filled them with pride at our achievements During our 6 years in this school, we have organized a class that has accomplished many things that required careful planning and co-operation. We havo worked hard to be successful in these ventures, and in most cases our work has not been in vain. When we entered junior high school as seventh grade students, we though of our school as enormous and of all the upper classmen as grownups who occasionally smiled at us and filled us with pride at being recognized by someone as important as they. The next year, there was someone h;.re younger than we and we were not quite so unimportant. The school wasn't as big, either, because we had explored every nook and cranney of it. We began to loose a few members of our class and we were sad to see them go. However, the loss drew those of us who were left much closer together. The realization finally dawned u on us that in a very few years we would be the exalted Seniors and the time couldn’t seem ■ 3 (Sal.) to arrive quickly enough. We turned all our efforts toward that goal. The seniors of other years said, Just wait. You will find out that you are happier now than you will be then. But we couldn't comprehend such a thing. It seemed impossible that wecould be happier than someone who was graduating. When our Junior year arrived and we planned the different activities for the Seniors, we suddenly realized that we would miss them when they were gone and perhaps they would miss us, too. But, after all, havnft they had their turn? Shouldn’t they ove on and let us have ours? Then, the time arrived. This was itj We wore Seniors, to be known forever more as the Class of 56. We were the oldest and (we thought) the most important students for quite a distance around and we were proud of ite Gradually, we became conscious of a few startling facts. Soon we would be Alumni and would be thrust out into the world to seek our fortunes. We would no longer be high school adolescents but young adults. We would have to find jobs or perhaps prepare ourselves to go to college for four years of hard studying. No longer would we have the help and guidance of our teachers and principal, but would have to rely on ourselves. Vie hope that we are ready to meet the responsibilities that await us. This year has been like a whirlwind. It came and now it is gone. We have achieved many things and doubtlessly will achitVe many more before we die, but nothing, ever, will be like our Senior year, our tom in the limelight. Junior Class Roll 1. Blake, Charlene 2.

We have had quite a hectic time hhi3 year between our sales campaigns and our studies. We started out with the election of officers, who proved to be qualified for the jobs. They are; Fresidont---------I-Yoyd Putzek Vice-?resi.dor.':-— liar len.fi Sid's Secretary---------faokic Stewart Treasurer--------Chai leo Koyle Our money-making campaigns of the first semester were the concession stands at th basketball games and selling Christmas cards. The highlights of our fir t semester was the Christmas party we gave the Seniors. The gym was beautifully decorated and all students and teachers seemed to have an enjoyable time. Our second semester proved mere successful than the first in moneymaking campaigns. We sold magazines, rain bonnets, and had a shaghetti dinner. Even with all the work we had to do, we had a wonderful time. Our class tournaments proved to be quite unsuccessful for our basketball teams. But our cheerleaders. Fancy Jonnson, Charlene Blake, and Jerrie Riffle did not let us down as they won for oest cheerleaders in senior hjgh. Yfe also had five juniors winning prizes that night. They are: Phyllis Collins, best sport, Roger Findley, best forward, Jackie Stewart and Robert Davis, best centers, and Charles Llayle, best guard, March 12, our class was represented in Charleston by Norma Marshall and Lloyd Putzek at Knov; Your State Government Day . Also Nancy Johnson and Lloyd Putzek were chosen to represent our school at Girls' and Boys' State. We are now working on the Junior-Senier Prom which we hope will be a success. The prom is to be held May 5 and our Junior-Senior Banquet is to be held may 18. Our class would not have been as enjoyable as it was if it had not been for our home room teacher, Mrs, Frances Piccolo. In trying to show our appreciation for her we gave her a little birthday party in our home room. This proved to be quite exciting as it was a surprise to her, but this wasn't and could never be, enough to thank her for what she has done for us To each and every member of the Senior Class, as they leave our high school and go down the highway of life, we wish all the luch in the world.

It was the established band of Flemington Hi. under the direction of Arnold Boyce. Right away, horns were blowing, drums were beating, and various other sounds which usually come from band room were heard. Hard workers were these sturdy band members! Forest Festival and other parades throughout the state were the highlights of the year. The band made an excellent showing at the basketball games topped off each night with a floor show by our eight majorettes. Nancy Johnson, drum major, worked very hard planning their shows, and as a result the band recieved many favorable compliments. A spring concert, 30th May parade. Centennial, and Strawberry Festival parades are on the spring schedule. Next year the band plans for new instruments, new music, and other equipment which is necessary. But all in all, it has been fun working together and with Mr. Boyce this past year. Here's wishing a swell class of seniors all the luck in the world. F. H. A.

Then we journeyed to Bristol defeating them 83-69. Popovich had another good night scoring 37 and Bob Davis was second highest scorer with 24, showing rapid inporvement offensively. Beverely then came to Flemington after defeating us in our first game. We were now an imporved ball club turning the tide in defeating them 80-47. Captain Shreve was high scorer in this ball game with 24 points and Popovich had 17. Jerry Woods, our Co-captain, played one of his better floor games. We journeyed to Salem, playing them on the Salem College gym and defeating them without the help of our pi ay maker Bucky Mayle. We did the trick again for the 9th time in a row 87—51. Popovich had 28, Shreves had 22« Collin3, Davis, and Findley were outstanding on the boards, Maylea Flemings and Woods played an outstanding floor game We played our rival Philippi going for all straight victor! For the second time they broke our string of wins, pulling away in the 3rd quarter, and goipg ahead defeating us 62-47. Fij H« S. couldn't seem to get started after playing St, Augustine the night before. Bristol then came to F. H� S. and F, H. S. beat them the 2nd time 87-48. Captain Butch Shreve had 28 points, Dayis 14 and Gall? Gallo with 10. Fleming and Hayle playing an outstanding floor game carrying the load for Popovich who was suffering from a case of pink eye, who got only 6 points for the evening.

T.7e had a season record of 18 wins and 3 losses, falling to Philippi twice and Severely once. Then came the drawing for the Sectional Tournaments, F. H, S, drew Bristol and defeated them 71-56 in the Notra Dame Gym, at Clarksburg. High scorer for the night was Shrove with 25 and Paul Popovich followed close behind with 24.

Popovich was high scorer with 21 points, Davis had 19 and Shrcves and Ma le had 12 each. Shreve and Popovich, who played magnificiantly throughout the tournament, were elected to the all-tournament team. Ruby Moore, F.

The winner of the sectional tournament along with the individual awards truely marked a highlight event in the history of the school. The following week, after the drawing for the Regional Tournament, F. H. S. played Sand-Fork, and to the disappointment of the team followers, lost byua score of 82-70. Everyone was glad to see Paul Popovich receiving higher honors by being placed on the all Regional team. Through the voting of the member of the team in the little ten conference Popovich and Shreve were voted the no.Hand 2 outstanding players respectively and Davis was selected to the second team losing out by only a few votes. This was one of the most outstanding seasons in the history of F. H. S. with an overall record of 21 and 4. Some of the other highlights about this great basketball team was the two banquets they had. One was given by the Lions Club of Flemington and the other by the Columbian Club of Clarksburg and was held at the Stonewall Jackson Hotel. At the Lions Club Banquet, the sectional tournament medal was presented. The Jiost picturques event of the year was when Paul Popovich, Wio only a sophomore, was choosen to the Class B. all-state basketball team. This certainly was a great honor, not only t the high school but also to the community, 3ince he was thei irst player from F. H. S. to accomplsih such a great feat. We are hoping that he can keep up the good work and gain as much recognition throughout his remaining high school days. Poppie we sure are proud of you. Keep up the good work . Another person that has made F. H. S. a bit brighter, is none other than our own Ruby Moore, vdio did a wonderful and magnificint job in winning the highest award in both Sectional and Regional tournaments, winning the outstanding cheerleader award. We are proud of yourtoo. Ruby! The most sorrowful event will be the loss of two great athlete by graduation, our co-captains Jerry Woods and Charles Shreve. Chprles Shreves, the valadictorian of this class, was also Highly Recognized and made particular honorable mention on the o fficial all-state high school basketball team. The loss of these two boys will certainly be a great blow to our school. They are not only basketball stars, but also excell in baseball as well. Jerry 'Woods was chosen the most outstanding baseball player in the American Legion tournament held at Weirton for two consective years. Jerry and Butch we will miss you and wishing you a lot of luck in future years. With this outstanding basketball season comes much rejoicing for F. H. S., but perhaps we have forgotten or haven1t realized who made this season one of the most outstanding in the history of the school. It was our coach, Mr. Shelds. He gave instruction , aided each player individually, and made every boy on the squad, whether on the first team or not, feel that he was playing as an important part in the success of the team as anyone else. Coach has indeed been an inspiration to every player on the team. So when admiring and giving praise to the basketball team of 1955-56 don’t forget to mention and give credit to our coach, Mr. Shields . Fi rst Row Loach Shi el ds S Blowd (1.
