We were an active group from the start and were soon doing our part to keep M.H.S. superior in scholastic, athletic and social activities. After the summer vacation we found ourselves starting our Sophomore year, and soon we began to take major roles in all the activities of the school, the high- light being the winning of the class basketball tournament. When our Junior year arrived, we had already established a reputation for being a progressive class. We sponsored a series of moving pictures to finance the annual dance and reception for the Seniors. It was our most important project and was one of the best social affairs in years. September, 1948, was an important date in our lives for it marked the begin- ning of our Senior year in M.I-1.S. We quickly settled down to hard work, deter- mined to make this the best year of all. Our first project was a series of dances, most of which we held after football and basketball games. We then posed for the MIRABILE pictures and ordered our commencement invitations and name cards. Next we presented a three-act comedy that was a success. May proved to be an eventful month. We greatly appreciated and enjoyed the dance which the Juniors gave in our honor. Ar last came those two important events for which we had been striving for twelve long years--the Annual Sermon and Commencement. We, the Class of 1949, now gather up our knowledge, pleasant memories and hopes, and bid our principal, faculty and friends farewell and thank them for all they have done to help us achieve our goal-GRADUATION. 12 HARLAN CHARLES BROADWATER Jiggie is one of the more active members of the class and has proved to be a most efficient president.

Acting upon this decision, I immediately called JEANNE DILLON SPENGLER. She was staying in town because Mac was stationed at an Army Post near by. I told her about my proposed trip, and she agreed to go with me. The next morning we went to the station early and made reservations for our journey. A little later we were on our way, and that night saw us in Mannington. Upon arriving in this small town, we were amazed to see a splendid new depot of gray stone in place of the old red brick station that was in use ten years before. This fine building had been designed by ROBERT MICHAEL and constructed by RAYMOND ASHBEE. As we walked down the platform, we were beseiged on all sides by cries of Taxi! Taxi! I thought that I recognized one voice and looked up. To my complete surprise it proved to be JENNIE PARRISH of the Ashcraft, Parrish and Shrader Taxi Company. RUBY and BETTY JO came over and greeted us. They recom- mended the Kerns Hotel, which was owned and operated by DEWEY KERNS. They also told us that JULIA WIGINTON was the popular blues singer at the hotel. Jeanne and I went to the hotel and found a Nurses Benefit Dance in full swing. I recognized several of my former classmates. Mr. and Mrs. EDWARD HOOD fshe used to be DORIS LEE BALLEWJ were dancing to an old tune, This Is The Moment. Ed was teaching at Fairmont State College, and Doris Lee was one of the best and most popular nurses at Fairmont General Hospital. Any number of Mannington High graduates seemed to be located at the hospital, these being JUANITA ANTEL, TWILA FLUHARTY, CLARICE SIMMS, JEAN WEST and VIOLET BAKER. MARY LOUISE BLANKENSHIP is the hospital's most capable pediatrician. Some one informed us that PHILLIS ARMSTRONG was a social worker in New York City and BETTY EDGELL was the Superintendent of Nurses at the Ohio Valley Hospital in Wheeling. LORETTA CAIN was a nurse at Takoma Park, and BETTY LOU BROWN was located at Walter Reed. The next day Jeanne and I decided to stroll about the community and note the changes that had been made during our absence. Walking in the direction of the creek, we expected to see the same old familiar bridge, but we were surprised to note that a new one of great beauty had been constructed. Some people standing near by said that DON AYERS, the multi-millionaire, had presented it to the city. We decided to rent a car for our sight-seeing and made our way to the Ford Garage. Here we found BILL MOORE in charge and doing very well too. We com- pleted our transaction without delay and were soon on our way. While making our way down Buffalo Street, we spied a familiar looking figure on the corner. It proved to be JESSE SHUMAN, the local Dodge and Plymouth agent. Just then we met SHIRLEY HENDERSHOT, who was home on a visit from Morgantown, where she is a history instructor at the University. She invited us to her hotel to meet her new husband, an Army officer, and talk about some of our mutual friends. Over a cup of tea she said that MARY ROSELYN HALL was a missionary, located in Africa, where she was doing fine work. PHILIP FRANCIS 26 1949 Maude was a geologist for the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, and HARLAN BROADWATER now headed his own business firm in New York. It seems that JAMES DYE, ROY LOUGH, HARRY SHAW, DON SNODGRASS, GERALD BOOTH and ERNEST ROGERS were all in the Air Corps and had scattered in all directions. Shirley had just heard a news flash to the effect that FLORENCE ELLIOTT had just made a non-stop flight around the world with the first woman crew in history. That evening Jeanne and I started to Fairmont to see a revival of the old Bob Hope picture, The Palefacef' Just as we passed through Sunshine Addition, I happened to glance out and saw BETTY LOU GLOVER, who was married to Silvio Roberty and living in this suburb. Also in this section were located RUTH BELL GLOVER and ESTHER MATTHEWS EFAW. Arriving in Fairmont, we chanced to see DON FIELDEN, who was a highly successful accountant. We were talking with him in front of McCroy's when DORA SNIDER came out. It seems that she was the manager of that store. She had just seen DOROTHY VAUGHAN, who was working at the Owens-Illinois Glass Factory and had learned from her that JIMMIE STEWART was one of the best engineers in town and that ELOISE DUNN TURNER was working as his secre- tary. KATHLEEN CRIM had married and was also employed in Jimmie's office. About that time one of Jeanne's teeth began to hurt, and I called the telephone operator, who proved to be JEAN MICHAEL, to see who was a good dentist. She recommended CLAUD ALBERT KENDALL. We found his office without delay, and Jeanne was given some relief from the pain. We discovered that Claud's office nurse was MARLENE JOHNSTON. By the time we returned to Mannington, we were both hungry so we decided to buy some groceries. We went to Daniel's Grocery, which was owned and operated by KENNETH DANIEL. While I was in the store, JUANITA GLOVER MICH- AEL and ALMA BEATTY came in. Alma had just received letters from BETTY BAKER, who was an Army nurse located in London, and RICHARD GARCIA, who had struck it rich in Alaska. Another customer was the former MARY GALE FLUHARTY, now a happy housewife. I heard that MARVEL HUMPHREY was an air hostess on the Pan-American Air Line, that JIMMIE MOORE was a pros- perous farmer in Ohio, and that FRANK RICHARDSON was a successful horse breeder in Kentucky. Another bit of information concerned ELIZABETH RABER, who was now employed as private secretary to ROBERT STEWART, who has been active in politics. Just then Jeanne came rushing into the store and told me that DOROTHY SINE was on her way from San Francisco to Hong Kong on a Chinese junk. With her was her doctor-husband. Just as we were leaving the store, we met PHIL HESS, now an Admiral in the United States Navy. Coming in the opposite direction was MARY LOUISE RENICK, who had just received a commission in the Army as a nurse. She was awaiting orders and seemed most anxious to be on her way. She told us that she had seen MARY JO CRISS not long ago and that she was happily married. Later that night we prepared for our homeward trip and left Mannington early the next morning. One of the passengers was MARY JO FLUHARTY, now a suc- cessful career woman. Our journey was uneventful, and we reached our destination tired and happy with our excursion to our old home town. -Betty Lou Bordner. 27 1949 Masala HONOR ROLL Of the sixty-four members of the Class of 1949, thirteen maintained averages of eighty-eight per cent or better during their four years in high school.

MARY ANN FRANCIS HISTORY In 1945 as apprentice seamen, we launched our ship and set sail over the ocean of education in search of wisdom and knowledge. We spent our first two years displaying our potential abilities and were pleased to find our ship mates well represented in the social, athletic and scholastic circles. Now we have drawn our ship up for the third successive year, and most of our crew of eighty-nine have advanced to the rank of Seaman First Class with Admirals Moran, Cunningham and DeBolt charting the course. Captain Politoske is at the helm, Commander Hickman is his able-bodied assistant, Chief Petty Officer Bowyer safeguards the crew's moneyg Yoeman Hibbs pens the log, and Mary Ann Francis records our history. Although much of our time has been spent in search of new knowledge, we have found considerable time for entertainment. Our more industrious seamen s ent their leisure hours s onsorin movin ' n U P P S g pictures and preparing for the Junior play, the money secured from these sources bein used to finance the bi est ro'ect of our entire vo a e-the annual unior- lg gg P J Y g Senior Prom. Our more athletic mariners participated in all sports events, and the outstand- ing intellectual members have reflected much glory on us when the honor rolls were compiled. 1950 will find us embarking on the last leg of our happy voyage with our compass directed toward the land of GRADUATION, then each of us will set sail in his own ship, chart his own course, and point his compass toward SUCCESS. 29 1949 lulhaiflfe 4-A ai SYN A-3?

JOE COLLINS HISTORY In the fall of 1945 a large group of grassy-green Seventh Graders enrolled in Mannington High School with hopes of graduating in 1951. We managed to survive that year and made out even better as Eighth Graders. When we moved on to our Freshman year, we discovered that a large group of new members had joined us, coming from the various rural schools. This was a happy but uneventful year, and we enjoyed it very much. Our Sophomore year proved to be a fine one. Our class ranked high in scholarship, and a number of our boys featured prominently in athletics. We took an active part in clubs and organizations too. Our more than eighty members assembled in three home rooms4Miss Rymer's, Miss Tabler's and Mrs. Wayt's. We are looking forward to the next two years and expect to enjoy them even more than these first few years. We expect to make Mannington High School proud of us.

TIME T0 PLAY 1949 Mhalide CHEERLEADERS Mannington High Schoolis three fine cheerleaders have worked long and hard at all games and thuse meetings leading the loyal students and alumni as they cheered the Big Green players on to victory. DORIS LEE BALLEW, the Senior member of the group, has proved to be most efficient and capable. She began working at this task in her Freshman year and has been on the job ever since. Perhaps one reason for her enthusiasm and ability is her great interest in sports. This year the members of the Boys Athletic Association presented her with an official green and white sweater to show their appreciation for the fine work she has done. JOANNE HALL, the youngest and newest of the cheerleaders, is now a Sophomore. She was elected to the job when she was a Freshman and has been given considerable opportunity to develop her talent this year. Dependable and hard-working, she shows much promise, and with more experience she is expected to emerge as one of the really fine cheerleaders in M.H.S. annals. MARY ANN FRANCIS, now a Junior, will move up into first place among the cheerleaders when she returns to school next September. Her work during the past two years has been outstanding, and she will be more than equal to the task of being chief cheerleader. She takes the work seriously and enjoys every bit of it. No doubt Mary Ann will rate a green and white sweater too next year. 42 7949 Mmide JUNIOR Y-TEEN CLUB OFFICERS President . . ., ,.., . ELEANOR YOST Vice President . , .

The promotion of school citizenship, school spirit, school pride, student responsibility and high scholarship are all goals of this organization. The Student Council hopes eventually to work out a system of student government in Manningtoii High School, however, this ultimate goal is one that cannot be attained quickly. It must be developed gradually as the students and teachers feel a need for it and as students especially are willing to assume the responsibility for it.

The building housing the Mannington Cen- tral School and the Mannington High School is the largest school structure in the county. Mannington High School is the only school in the county to transport students to and from physical education classes. The old building is one of the few schools in the state to be protected by an automatic sprinkler system. The floors of the old and the new buildings are not even, those of the new building being a few feet lower. The old unit was constructed in 1902. The new auditorium was first used in 1935. There are forty class rooms in the building. Included in the high school faculty are twenty-six teachers. Fifteen teachers have seventh period classes. Nine teachers have eight o'clock classes. Enrolled in grades seven to twelve are 592 students. The ninth grade has the largest enrollment, the number being 126. There are sixty-four in the twelfth grade. Approximately 2,965 text books have been checked out of the book room and rented to the students during the school year. The school library contains about 3,500 vol- umes. Nine drinking fountains quench the thirst of students and teachers. The auditorium seats 725. There are 578 steps in both units of the building. In the girls, locker room are 202 lockers. In the boys' locker room are 203 lockers. In addition to numerous arm chairs in Room 8, twenty-one long tables in the lower hall are needed to accommodate the bus students at lunch time. Nine tables seating six and eight are found in the library. There are 2,636 names inscribed on the World War II Honor Roll located on the sec- ond floor. There are twenty-six typewriters in the typing room. The feminine name appearing most often in the class registers is Mary. The most popular masculine name is James. The surname Hays or Hayes is the most com- mon, fifteen students answering to it. The most unusual first name seems to be Phydellas. About 216 boys and 245 girls are enrolled in physical education classes. Edward Holbert travels the greatest distance each day. Those living closest to the school are the Mc- Murrays, Robert Stewart, the Moseleys and the Furbees. The corner stone of the new unit was laid in 1920. The fine mural in the art room was painted in 1944-45. Back in 1941 Mannington was the undefeated county champion in football. Four janitors are needed to keep the building clean. -Betty Lou Bordner Betty Edgell. 1949 MMM, E Q 2 7:00 P. M .... TIME T0 WIN 1949 luhadife 1948 -MANNINGTON H. S.

This capable reserve held down the job of right guard and should be a big help when Coach Ryan calls the 1949 squad together next September. HARLAN -IIGGIEU BROADWATER, two-year letterman, was one of the really valuable members of the 1948 team. He was outstanding as center, a position that he held for two years. His place will be hard to fill next year. MELVIN HGOOCHIEH GOOCH, who played left guard, was an outstanding player on the Green and White squad, making the first string in his sophomore year. Small but scrappy, this Ryanman was noted for his never-say-die spirit. RICHARD RICK GARCIA, one of the two Big Green players to receive honor- able mention on the All-State Team, was elected captain of the 1948 team, a position which he filled well. Small in stature but mighty in strength, he was a really fine left end. ROBERT PUPPY STEWART, who played a guard position, was one of the most dependable and hard-working members of the squad. Reporting for practice in his Freshman year, this Senior has labored four seasons to help the Big Green get its share of victories. 57 1949 Mvmdde ROBERT BOB MICHAEL and his trained toe saw plenty of action during the 1948 season inasmuch as he did most of the kicking-off for the Big Green. This six-foot Senior proved to be a capable and efficient right end. RAYMOND RAY ASHBEE nailed down an end position on the '48 Big Green team. He won this place through long and hard work during the past four sea- sons. Always quiet and dependable, this Senior was a valuable member of the squad. DEWEY MEATBALL KERNS saw considerable action as both fullback and quarterback last fall. When he was sent into the game, he could be counted on to do his job well. This happy-go-lucky Senior will be missed next year. DON NAYERSIEH AYERS, Senior and left tackle, was the big man of the 1948 squad in more than one way, having received honorable mention on the All-State Team as well as being chosen player-of-the-week by the United Press. DAVE APE MASTERS proved to be an outstanding member of the Green and White team. He performed capably as right tackle and was always in there fight- ing. This Junior is one of the few lettermen who will be available next fall. 58 1949 Mmdde MIKE MIKIE CAPELETY, a Junior, played a good brand of ball, both as a halfback and as an end. A reserve, this player showed up especially well on the defense, and he will be available next fall. GEORGE HLUJACKU MURPHY served as quarterback during the past season. A Sophomore, he was able to make the first team through hard work and out- standing ability. He was particularly commended for his passing and will be very useful next year. EDWARD UHOODIEU HCOD really showed the fans some fancy running. He was one of the fastest men on the squad and proved to be a capable fullback. This Senior will leave a vacancy that will be hard to fill. PHILIP PHIL HESS, a Senior, who played right halfback, was one of the lightest members of the squad, but he was able to overcome this with his fine open field running and his defensive ability. He also called plays for the Big Green. JAMES TATER LEMLEY played left halfback last season. He reported for practice in his Freshman year and worked hard and long to make the first string. This Senior was one of the smallest but fastest members of the team. 1949 Mandala WILBUR WARE WARE, a Junior, saw most of his service as a reserve, playing as halfback. He will be back next year, and many fans are expecting great things of him. WILLIAM BEE FRANCIS showed that he was a hard worker during his first year as an assistant manager of the Big Green. It will surprise no one if he fol- lows in his brother's footsteps. DONALD DON BLANKENSHIP served faithfully as an assistant manager of the squad during the past season. He is expected to be back on the job next fall. PHILIP AB FRANCIS, who held down the job of manager for six years, proved to be one of the best ever. He deserves much credit for the time and energy that he so unselfishly gave for the good of the team. He will be greatly missed next year. STEVE GERM KENNEDY has completed his second year as assistant manager. He was always dependable and willing to work, and he will be of great service when the next season begins. JACK JACKIE STENGER showed during the past season that he was a hard worker as well as a dependable assistant manager. This Freshman is expected to be on the job again next year. CLAUD HOT-SHOT KENDALL reported for practice in his Senior year, and although he saw little action, he proved to be a satisfactory end. 60 1949 Mmdak THE GAMES When Coach Ryan called his candidates out for their first practice session last August, he had six returning lettermen about whom he built his 1948 team. These six plus the most cap- able reserves of the previous year were molded into one of Mannington High's best teams in many a year. Scoring 153 points to its oppo- nents' 104, the Big Green won four games, tied three and lost one. 6-NEW MARTINSVILLE-20 Mannington bowed to New Martinsville in the season's opening game. The Big Green suf- fered three fumbles in the first half that were turned into TD's for the Golden Eagles. 32-FAIRVIEW-0 The Ryanmen crushed Fairview 32 to 0 in the second contest. Neither side scored in the first half, but Mannington played bang-up ball in the second half to win. 12-MONONGAH-0 Scoring in both the third and fourth quar- ters, the Big Green was able to overcome a smaller but stubborn Monongah eleven after a scoreless first half. 13-EAST FAIRMONT-1 3 This game was a thriller. Mannington led 7-6 at the half and scored again in the third period, but the Bees evened matters in the final round. 27-FARMINGTON-20 Mannington defeated Farmington in a sea of mud. The Big Green's touchdowns came in the second and third quarters, and the visitor's scores were made in the second and final rounds. 32-RIVESVILLE-20 Rivesville was lVlannington's fourth victim.

JACK PO-DEW PORTER, one of the taller men on the team, made the first string in his Junior year through hard work and ability. A good shot, he was particularly good under the basket. He will be back next year. RAYMOND URAYH ASHBEE is a six-footer who has served the team well this past season. Especially good on the defense and a very good shot on the offense, this Senior will be greatly missed next year. RICHARD RICK GARCIA, another Senior, had the honor of being named captain of the 1949 team. Rick is not very tall, but he made up for it with his accurate shooting and his fine floor work. 63 1949 Mmm HARLAN -IIGGIEH BROADWATER saw considerable action as a reserve this year. A Senior, he usually took over at the guard position and proved to be a good shot as well as a capable defensive player. JACK DO-DIE ELLIOTT is a Sophomore who has been very active as a re- serve during the past season. He is expected to be quite valuable next winter, and the Big Green fans are hoping for big things from him. CLARENCE UJUNIORU WISE is another Sophomore who has proved to be one of the better reserves. With two more years to play for the Big Green, ujuniorn should develop into a really outstanding player. RONALD RONNIE EISMAN played first string most of the past season, and he demonstrated his ability time and time again. A Junior this year, he will be one of the Big Green's mainstays next winter. 64 1949 Mmide GEORGE JALLY MURPHY is a hard worker and an excellent player. This Sophomore showed up especially well on the defense, and with two more years on the squad, he has a bright future ahead of him. WILBUR WARE WARE worked hard to become a member of the 1949 Big Green squad. He proved to be fast as well as a very good shot. A Junior, he will return next year to carry on for Mannington. JAMES TATER LEMLEY, despite the fact that he is built low to the ground, was a player of great value during the past season. Speed was one of the fine qualities that Tater possessed. EDWARD HOODIE HOOD, a Senior, held down a guard position this past season and proved to be most efficient. He laclcs height, but he made up for this by his fine shooting and his capable floor work. 65 1949 Mandala IUNIOR HIGH BASKETBALL SQUAD First row, l, to r.--Paul Whalen, Melroy Wells, Roy George, ack Floyd M1rsh1ll Nlntthews.

We are particularly grateful to the advertisers and boosters who have supported us so loyally. Nor should we forget the parents who have made it possible for the students to purchase copies of our book and pay the various picture fees. The teachers have been most cooperative even when we have made nuisances of ourselves getting class rolls, collecting picture tax and preparing club data. Mr. Michael has always been understanding about and interested in our project and he has never failed us when we needed aid and advice. Finally, we want to acknowledge the debt we owe Mr. Herbert Smith, the MIRABILE photographer, whose skill, patience and cooperation have made the many fine pictures in this year's book possible.
