He was the pro- tector of the boundaries of the fields. He especially delighted in the trees grow- ing wild. Parsons and the surrounding commun- ities from which P. H. S. students come abounds in trees growing wild, the pine, the oak, and the sycamore. Silvanus presided over forest glades. Should he return to earthly abodes he would find pleasure in the forest glades of West Virginia. In years to come we hope the very mention of the “Sylvan- ian” will bring a sigh, a laugh, a tear, a fond remembrance of Parsons High School days to all who have ever been in Parsons High.
