Upon these pages now are written Events and memories we hold so dear, we've never forgotten Initiation Day Or the Junior Play last year. Oft' when we trod upon life's road, No matter where we roam, Monongah High will be remembered As a place we could call UHomeU.

How we wish we could begin all over again and relive every happy day we've known since the fall of the year l9H8. Yes, we've known our moments of dispair and anxiety, but greatly out- numbering these were our carefree hours. Each day has given us memories we'll treasure forevery. Let us retrace our footsteps. 9 ,As underclassmen, we were shy and timid just as countless other Freshmen classes before us. Our in- itiation day will be a long remembered one. The boys wore plenty of make-up, short pants turned wrong side out, T-shirts, and neckties. The girls wore short skirts wrong side out, large size men's shirts, no make-up, and uncombed hair. Both boys and girls wore onion necklaces. After becoming accustomed to the teasing of the upperclassmen, we settled down to work and served notice to these same hecklers, that a class of n52N was to be admired for all its activ- ities, class parties, and other interesting projects which enlivened our Freshman and Sophomore years. Now came that long awaited goal. At last we were upperclassmen. Our Junior year was an active one, with the traditional Junior-Senior Banquet and Junior Play, UThe House Nobody Lived In.N We should like to extend our NThank youu to Mr. Keener our Jun- ior Class Advisor and to Mrs. Snoderly, who worked very hard to help make the play a success. The evening for which we had been waiting three long years finally came. This was the Junior Prom. Our advisor, Mr. Keener, supervised our plans. Ray Vingle's orchestra played for the festive occasion. For our Junior picnic we chose Holly River State Park. We had a wonderful time with Mr. Keener and Miss Turkovich, who accompanied us. We received our class rings that year, also. This was truly a memor- able school term. As seniors our school year has gone by quickly for we have had many activities to fill our days. Our class has lost about half of its members through the years, but will graduate with a class of approx- imately fifty-five. Miss Gaskin was chosen as our advisor, with Mr. Feltz as her assistant. On Sept- ember 2H, everyone looked especially attractive be- cause Senior pictures were to be takgg. The proofs came back in four.days, and we receiv our pictures before Christmas. We presented the annual Senior Christmas Program. The Senior play was a great suc- ess. Thanks again, Mrs. Snoderly. We enjoyed the prom given by the Juniors and extend our nThank you.H Our baccalaurate sermon and .commencement exer- cises climaxed our Senior year. We are now about to try 'our wings in the wide world, as all fledglings must leave their sheltering homes. we must leave M. H. S. In the years to come, as we follow our individual paths to success, we shall fondly remember our happy, carefree days of youth spent in dear old Monongah High School. 10 J 1 Red Cross Office Staff UBeauty is truthg truth, beauty.N Louanna Butcher Monongah Junior Play Yearbook Staff Newspaper Staff Honor Society HThe truth is al- ways r1ght.H Franklin Burto Mrart Hi 1 y - 'v?fffE,4fw nwhat should a man do but be merry.n .

I never dreamed that I would meet so many of my old school chums from M. H. S. Boarding the UCross-Country Limitedn in Fairmont, I was off on what I thought would be a quiet trip. My mind was soon changed when a very good friend of mine from high school days Donna LeVelle, sat down beside me. She told me she was go- ing to Texas to see her husband, Bob, who was still in the army. We wanted some candy, and who do you think brought it to us? Josephine Catania, who worked on the train! Our first stop was Pittsburgh. When we stepped off the train, we ran into three of the most popular boys from our class Michael Forte, Tommy Watson and Ronald Delovich. They were on their way to New York for their first Broadway show. You see, they were a very popular song team. WTinkerN and nCoolieW were also playing some professional basketball in their spare time. we went into a lunch room for coffee, and our waitress was Shirley Bauer. We talked over old times with her, and she said that only a few days before,she had seen Jean Harden who was now an English teacher at Fairmont State College. We had started to leave when we saw Patty Manzo eating her lunch. She told us she was a secretary for a large firm in Pittsburgh. I asked her a- bout June Fox and Wanda Vozniak. She replied that June was liv- ing in Tennessee and was married to Dick. Wanda was married to Bob and was living in Kentucky. 20 I then went into a large department store to do some shop- ping before I caught the train. I saw Mary Connor and she told me she was Business Manager of the Department Store. As I chat- ted with her, she said Mary Lea Reed was a model at the same store. She also told me she had heard that Joe Elutrio was a star basketball player at West Virginia University. I told her I had to go because I had to catch the train for Detroit. As I boarded the train, whom did I see but Josephine Domico and Mary Savereno? They were going to the art museum in Detroit to enter their masterpieces for display. As we talked I found out about many of my friends. Mary told me NDorseyU Watosky was married to Lindy, and was living in Louisiana. Josephine re- marked that Joyce Carlot was married to nA1N and living in Flor- ida. Bill Woods was editor of a newspaper in New York, and Bob Price owned a restaurant, also in New York. Before I knew it, we had reached Detroit. As I reached for a paper at the newstand, I saw a familiar name. Neil Satterfield was the editor of it! I continued read- ing the paper to pass the time until I could catch.the train. Momentarily lifting my eyes, I saw Doris Serian with her husband, Harley. She told me that they were living in Detroit. She had had a letter from Melba Toothman who had married Carl and was living on East Side. Also, Mariam Harr was married to Eugene and was living next door to Melba. Doris told me that she had heard Bill Parks was now a professional dentist, and Martha Robison was his nurse. Sam Larry, now married to Frances owned his own gas station at Worthington. She also heard that Emma Mae Heck was a registered nurse at Fairmont General Hospi- tal. Before she had time to tell me any more, I had to rush to catch the train to Chicago. As I was sitting in reverie, the conductor came to pick up the tickets. To my surprise, the con- ductor was Dick Starcher who told me of his old friends from Carolina. Carrol Wright was married to Charlotte, and Jack Woods was married to Betty. Ray wilson was now foreman of the mines at Monongah. When I arrived in Chicago, I saw UJoeyU Popovich, and she told me that she was secretary for a well-known lawyer. Also, she told me that Laura Vance was a nurse in a Clarksburg hospi- tal. Louanna Butcher and Jean Fullen were working for the F. B. I. in Washington, she had heard. By that time I had to run for the train for Kansas City. I had planned to sleep between Kansas City and Salt Lake City but I found myself seated next to a soldier. After talk- ing to him for a few minutes I found out that he was Charlotte Sturms' husband, Raymond. He said she lived at Farmington with their small son. He said Olga Shewchuck was a very successful business woman. She owns her own hosiery factory, and Doreen McVicker helps her spend the money. Doreen does some modeling of the hosiery. 21 The trip could hardly be complete without some tragedy. You know how many traffic accidents we have in the age of jet- propelled autos. We were shaken from our seats as we heard a loud crash. We rushed to the window to see what had happened. Someone whom I later recognized as John Halpenny said that the millioniare, Patsy Thobois, had been driving too fast and couldn't stop for the crossing. The ambulance came to take him to the hospital, and Franklin Wright was its driver. Franklin Burton, and John Tarley were riding in the car with Thobois, and all escaped injury. John Halpenny, told me that he was driving a trailer truck across country and had stopped because of the accident. He said that Burton and Tarley were Patsy's body guards, Cto guard his bankbook.J The Donald Butcher Wrecking Service came to haul away the wreckage. We then went on our way to California. When I stepped off the train at Hollywood, I ran into Betty Wilson. She had gradu- ated from West Virginia University and had taught English until her marriage to a coach. She had been to California with him to see the Rose Bowl football game. She told me that Norma Lowther was living there also. They were still inseparable. She said Mary Minnear and Annie Tarley were both employed at Westinghouse. Mary Greynolds walked up and introduced herself. I wouldn't have known her otherwise. She had been in Arizona for her health, and the asthma was almost cleared up now. She said she had heard from Naomi Baker, who was manager of the Rest Home back in West Virginia. She said John Canjar was a detective whose job was to track down cattle rustlers. On my way to my hotel, I stopped at a large Super-market for some fruit, and the manager himself, Charles Vincent waited on me. He said that he didn't hear much from home, but he did say that Nancy Whitehair was his bookkeeper. As soon as I was settled, I had to write my best friend, Nancy Fox, and tell her about my trip. She couldn't get away from her job as a book- keeper at the Fairmont Supply Company to come along with me. If all this is a dream, I hope nobody will wake me up, be- cause the class of 052V has done wonderfully well. But I fear that I, Pattie Davis, will just wake up and start back home to fill my post as Commercial Instructor at Monongah High School. I hope to meet you all again on the return trip and in the fut- 'llre u 22 Senior Class Will Naomi Baker, will my dis- like for boys, all the girls who think they are toys.

H. S., we were as green as the day is long. Initiation Day only added to our fright. The boys wore short pants, knee socks, two different kinds of shoes, and carried some kind of toy. The girls wore short dresses, their hair in pigtails with a big ribbon in it, no make-up, knee socks, and car- ried a doll. As the days went on we ac-quired many new friends and became accustomed to M. H, S. In our Sophmore year we were more at ease, and had one skating party and two swimming parties. Now, we are Juniors and all we can think of is receiving our class rings. Our Junior play was a three act comedy, HA Month of Tuesdaysn which was a very enjoyable event. We are now looking forward to giving the Junior-Senior Banquet which we hope will be the most glorious affair of the season. 33 First Row- Second Row Third Row- Fourth Row-Bud Morgan, John Fifth Row--Robert Currance, Sixth Row-- Mrs. Snoderly's Group -Nancy Grimes, Clara Carrico, Pauline Binkoski, Janet Lowery, Annette Vozniak, Madge Layne, Marie McClain, Mrs. Snoderly. -Mary Jo Whitehair, Nancy Backus, Genevive Gwinn, Delores Basnett, Margaret Meffe, Gearldine Phillips -Lillian Groves, Donna Keifer, Shirley Woods, Virginia DeMary, Anna Retton.

The school was in an uproar for a few days getting schedules arranged and seeing that we didn't forget that we were only HFresh1es.n It took us a few days to get used to the different rooms. Fin- ally we settled down to our daily routines and began our studies. As most Freshmen do, we too looked forward to our initiationg but, to our disappointment, we were never initiated. Now that our second year is here, we feel as if we really beling to Monongah High. We held our first class meeting and elected our class officers and stud- ent council members. We had a skating party and in- vited the rest of the student body. It was enjoyed by all that attended. We are now looking forward to the coming year when we will get our class rings and pro- vide for the Prom. 37 First Row- Second Row Miss Timmins's Group -Linda Vernon, Janet Vernon, Mary Sayre, Charlotte Walker, Barbara Rauer, Louis Meffe, Isabella Cutlip, Shirley Williams, Mary Burton, Miss Timmins. -Mary Pavich, Twila Collins, Ronald Shea, Shelvy Maze, Virginia Mascara, Frances Zorich, Frances Harden.

Clara Carrico CLASS OFFICERS President John Harbert Vice President James Pulice Secretary and Treasurer Frank Demoss Class Advisor Mrs. Berry Class Representatives Susanne Greynolds Paul Thobois Bernie Vingle Class Colors Gray and Maroon CLASS HISTORY we entered as Ngreen freshiesn into Monongah Hi School on September H, 1951. We roamed about the halls looking to see where we would have to go. How- ever, it wasn't very long until we could find our way about, almost as well as the upper classmen. Initiation Day was October 12, 1951. We were all very nervous, because of the way we were dressed. The boys had to wear dresses and hats, with onion earrings, hose, Jewelry and make-up. They were required to bow to the seniors, and to carry their books for them. The girls had to wear either long underwear or pajamas, with onion necklaces, no make-up, hair not combed on one side, but put up in curls on the other. They also had to wear one gym shoe and one shoe of another kind. Of course, they also had to bow to the seniors and to carry their books. In addition to all this, we had to go to the football game held at Worthington, where we had to put on another performance. Among the teachers to be initiated were Mr. Keener and Mrs. McDowell. We had so much fun! Later we were told that we were all good sports about it. 41 Mr. Keener's Group First Row--Cecila Shamrock, Emma Delovich, Patty Mason, Maxine Greynolds, Sherlene Slonaker, Martha Pettitt, Frances Monroe.

The Monongah High School Band has grown until it is proud to boast of seventy-one members. Monongah High School and the members of the band are very thankful to Mr. Harland Hartman, their director, whose hard work and patience have made poss- ible a superior band. For the first appearance, the band played for the East- Fairmont--Monongah football game at the East-West Stadium in Fairmont. The band played at three football games at Worth- ington, and the final game, Farmington-Monongah, which was played at the East-West Stadium. On September llth the band went to the Mannington Fair, where they were favorable recieved along with many other bands. The Buckwheat Festival at Kingwood was another parade en- gagement for the band. They were throughly enjoyed by all who attended. The band played at the Times Christmas Fund Benefit Show on December 15th where they showed their trombone players a- bility. They also played for the Monongah Christmas Program at which they are always received with enthusiasm. The band members would like to express their thanks to the Band Mothers Club for their help in raising money to meet the expenses of the Band. They also would like to show their preciation to NPeachieH and Dave, bus Drivers, who transport them on their trips to and from the school. Thanks are given to Miss Timmins. who sponsored the majorettes, and to Betty Lynn Wilson, who has led the band for two successful years. Every one is looking forward to a superior rating at Mor- gantown and then to a possible three-day tour in-to the Eastern Panhandle. The Monongah Band has not only a good musical band but al so a group of pretty majorettes. 47 SENIOR PLAY CAST MY COUNTRY COUSIN FROM TEXAS The cast of characters as they appear in the Flrst Row: Tomasina Cooper, frOmTeXaSOlllUlllC.lOl Peaceful Johnson, a young colored maid....
