Miss Moore, Miss Cowl, Mr. Gleason When school opened in September of 1936, one hundred and thirty-eight excited boys and girls entered St. Albans High School as freshmen. Now these bewildered students have risen to the highest rank. It is the senior class. These students came from Cen- tral, Highlawn, and Fairview schools. In about two weeks after their first ap- pearance in this school, they held their first class meeting of the year in the gym. Officers -elected at this meeting were: president, Don Cunningham, vice president, Charles Mitchell, secretary and treasurer, Ernestine Moore. Advisers were: Miss Cowl, Mrs. Treanor, and Mr. Alford. In November a class party was held in the gym- nasium. Thus ended the first year. Most of the class returned the following fall, feeling much bigger, even ready to laugh at the -errors of the new group of freshmen. They had learned their lesson. Officers for this year were: president, Don Cunning- ham, vice president, Charles Mitchell, secre- tary, Mary Ann Lewis, and treasurer, Ladine O'Neil. Class advisers were: Miss Lynch, Mrs. Treanor, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Burdette. On April 8 the class had their party in the gymnasium. So, this ended the second year in S. H. S. In the fall of '38' a group of young women and men faced their junior year of school, a hard and busy one. They were upper class- men now and money had to be made. Officers this year wer-e: Gene Ackles, president, Evelyn Ranson, vice president,Mary Ann Lewis, secretary, and Don Cunningham, treasurer. Advisers were: Miss Selbe, Miss Wolfard, and Mr. Jackson. The class, in order to secure money for the senior reception in the spring, sponsored a show, Three Comradesf' at the Alban. Calm Yourself, was selected for the class play, directed by Miss Selbe, was presented November 11, to an appreciative audience. The junior class party was held December 9 in the gymnasium. May 13 was the date for the annual Junior- Senior reception. The gymnasium was beau- tifully decorated in black and white. Sil- houettes were used to work out a colonial de- sign. Music was furnished by Bill Garten and his orchestra. The class ended the year with a hike to the Lower Falls beach for a picnic lunch and swimming. Last fall this group who were freshmen not so long ago returned to S. H. S. for their last round in their high school days. Ofiicers for this year are: Thomas Echols, presi- dent, Birdsell McCormick, vice president, Evelyn Ranson, secretary, and Martha Nes- ter, treasurer. Class advisers are: Miss Moore, Miss Cowl, and Mr. Gleason. The class selected Till We Meet Again, for th-eir class song. On April 26 the Senior class presented Growing Pains, a three-act comedy, under the direction of Miss Moore. Those in the cast were: Professor McIntyre, John Ollom, Mrs. McIntyre, Ernestine Moore, Terry Mc- Intyre, Margaret Scott, George McIntyre, Gene Ackles, Mrs. Patterson, Katherine Sut- ler, Elsie Patterson, Marjorie Head, Sophie Bettie Short, Officer, Fred Radford, Brian, Paul Murray, Patty, Betty Vest, Prudence Darling, Virginia Courtney, Dutch, Tommy Echols, Hal, Ira Louden, Omar, Rolland Williamson, Pete, Bob Fields, Miriam, Dor- othy Mae Brothers, Jane, Ruth Slayton, Betty, June Thacker.

Vi members of this organization are swf nc-, an a strictly honorary basis. To be eligible or membership, a student must rank in the upper twenty-five per cent of his class 'cholastically. This list is presented to the members of the National Honor Society fac- ulty councii and other members of the faculty who rate these various students on the basis of the other three requirements: leadership, service, and character. Those students re- ceiving the highest rating on the basis of all three qualities are the ones admitted to mem- bership. Not more than fifteen per cent of the graduating class may be elected to mem- bership. Five per cent of this number are inducted into the Society in the second se- mester of the junior yearg five per cent, in the first semester of the senior yearg five per cent in the second semester of the senior year. Since its organization, the Keystone Chap- ter has sought to keep the ideals of leader- ship, scholarship, service, and character. The Chapter has been actively engaged in proj- ects, some of which are: the establishment of a tutoring bureau to aid failing studentsg another early project was the research, Writ- ing, and editing of a history of St. Albans, and the origination of an activity-point sys- tem. During this year the Society has or- ganized a library Where all the catalogues of the outstanding schools and colleges are on file.

Dougherty The Saint Albans High School has boosted a Hi-Y club for the past ten years. ln the past the club has not been quite so active as it should have been, but with the beginning of this year the club became much more dif- ferent. The Hi-Y Club was organized in St. Al- bans High in 1930 by Mr. M. R. Shirly. It was founded on the basis of creating main- taining, and extending throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character. Mr. Shirey acted as adviser for the first two years. Following Mr. Shirey as advisers were: Mr. Keller, Mr. Liggett, Mr. Watring, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Dougherty. At the beginning of this school year, Mr. Frank M. Liddle, state Hi-Y secretary, visited the school and talked to each club member privately in order to iind what the members' opinion of the club was. Then Mr. Liddle talked to the club as a whole and told the boys that if the Hi-Y was to con- tinue as a club in the school, it would have to become more active. After this talk, the club decided to see what it could do. The first big problem to solve was getting a new adviser, since Mr. Smith had resigned. Then it was decided that the club should have its own constitution, so the president appointed a committee for this pure pose. From this time on the whole club worked diligently to make the organization a better one. Some of the activities this year were: drafting and adopting a constitution, electing a new adviser, donating baskets to needy families, selling candy, electing an ad- visory committee composed of five men of the community. Those elected were: Mr. Hund, Mr. C. P. Guice, Mr. C. Brown, Mr. K. Dyer, and Mr. H. Young. The club also s-ent dele- gates to the State Hi-Y convention in Blue- field. One of the old traditions which is car- ried out by the club each year is the Father and Son banquet, which was held this year as in the past. Ten new members were taken into the club this year. They were: Bob Dillon, Bill Nelson, George Cobern, Woots Caines, Roy Akers, Bob Sidebottom, Douglas Tulloh, Homer Jimson, Cobby Webb, and Bill Ingraham. Following are the names of the old club members: Bob Woodard, Tom Davis, Tom Echols, Ike Ingraham, Sherman College, Charles Mitchell, Bussie McCormick, Glenn Dunlap, George Godby, Dick Rogers, Dorsel Hensley, Troy Trowbridge, Don Cunning- ham, Waverly Winters, Jess Smith, Calvert McNeely, and Homer Cox. --v -- DRAGONIAN BISIGNESS CLUB .1 4 Preszdenf ,. , 7, ,, Vice-Presticlentc. .......Mao'y Frcmces Melton Clarence McClure Secretcu'1f 7 .....,,, ....

When the final Whistle sounded, the Dragons emerged the victors with the score 25-O. Cunningham scored once, McCormick tallied one, and Mitchell counted twice. The Dragons led in the Iirst downs, 12 to 3. Dunlap- and Hensley turned in the outstanding defensive work of the aft- ernoon. It was in this game that Woodward first showed his passing ability. After practicing hard for another week, the Dragons were confident of a victory over the highly-touted Elkview Herd. This was a very tough game for the Dragons to lose be- cause of a lucky pass that resulted in a touch- down for the Herd. This was the only score of the game. This game was called the Dust Bowl game because of the four inches of dust that covered Crawford Field. Mitchell and Cunningham were the stars for the Dragons in their losing cause. Next came the H u rrican e Redskins, coached by Homer Conner. The Redskins presented a small team that put up a stiff light, but they faced a team that couldn't be denied and the Dragons won easily, 19-0. Mitchell and Cunningham were the stars for the Dragon eleven, while McCormick and Scherrep were the outstanding linemen on the defense. This was the game in which the Dragons first showed their aerial attack, scoring two of their three touchdowns by passes. After winning from the Redskins, the Dragons got down to real practice for their battle with the Barboursville Pirates. The Pirates boasted of a heavy line and a light, fast backfield. The Dragons played their best game of the year and came out of the bat- tle the victors by a 6-0 count. The Dragons outplayed their bigger foes all the game and CContinued on Page Fifty-twob ,Q- 46 , DRAGONIAN BASKETBALL a Homer Cox, Don Cunningham captain, Tom Echols, Bill Mathews, George Good, forwards, Bob Fields, Bill Nelson and Bob Sidebottom, centers, Charles Mitchell, Tom Davis, Gene Weitzel, and Cobby Webb, guards. Late in November, Coach Clyde Alford issued the call for basketball prospects, and about twenty-five boys answered the call. The first day the boys met in Coach Al- ford's room to receive their instructions. They elected Don Cunningham as their cap- tain to lead them through the coming cam- paign. The first week the boys devoted to getting back into shape. The team was hard hit from graduation last year and only two regulars returned. The two returning were Homer Cox and Don Cunningham, so around these two the team. was built. After several weeks of hard practice, the Dragons were ready to tackle their first foe. On January 4, the Dragons played the Du- Pont cagers from Belle in their first en- counter of the season and they plastered a 31-17 defeat on the Panthers. Homer Cox paced the Dragons in their first victory with 12 points. Fields followed him up by scor- ing 9 points. ' Next the Dragons tackled the Charleston Mountain Lions at the Charleston gym- nasium. With Butch Boucher leading the scoring, the Lions handed the Dragons their first defeat of the season. Cunningham led the Dragons in their losing cause with 6 points. The Mountain Lions led throughout the game and the Dragons never gave the Lions much trouble. Three days later, the Dragons invaded the Barboursville Pirates court to do battle with the Pirates. The Pirates proved to be too tough for the Dragons, so they were defeated for the second time of the season. Cox and Fields led the Dragons in the scoring column. Next came the Dunbar Bulldogs in a game scheduled at the Dunbar court. The Dragons were confident of a victory over the Bulldogs, but the Bulldogs had different ideas and turned the tables on the Dragons. The Dragons held an 11-10 lead at the half, but the Bulldogs came out fighting in the second half and forged into the lead that they never gave up. The Dragons returned to their own floor for their next encounter with the Hurricane CContinued on Page Fifty-onej DRAGONfIAN 47 MISS RED DRAGON Betty June Thacker Each year the student body elects one girl to represent the school at the homecoming game as Miss Red Dragon.

II As you embark upon your journey And sail, far out to sea, Our hope and faith is with you, And His love and mercy awaits you Where charity forever reigns.

AMBITIONS 1 'U Don't give me a house magnificant Displayed on a stately hill. Instead, give me nature untouched At which the angels thrill. Don't give me a winding road That leads to the house on the hill. Instead, a woodland path Where birds forever trill. Don't give me Morocco bound books In the library on the hill. Instead, a worn classic in a shady nook Where the atmosphere is still. Don't give me a walnut chapel Secluded in the house on the hill. Instead, an alter of flowers By the brook in yonder rill. Don't give me the vanity of humanity Displayed by the man on the hill. Instead, the humbleness and chastity That only God can will. -Roy Akers. THE DEATH OF AMBITION There was a tree in the forest of life On its right was peace, on its left was strife, Surrounding were trees of virtue and vice Virtues that beckon and vices that entice. That tree was youth, supple and slim Bending with the wind's slightest whim, Eager to attach traits that appeal Struggling, its greatness to reveal Inspiration was its nearest neighbor, A tree, slim and straight as a saber, They entwined to become one Twas the birth of ambition. The trce, ambition, grew straight and strong A symbol of power amid the throngg But alas, the fatal day arrived Because of a blight, its growth was short lived. That blight was war, fierce and grim It seized ambition, tall and slim, The force of its strike was like an apparition It was the death of ambition. K -Virginia Mynes. LITTLE SQUIRTH My buddy and I are watching a game, That to me doesn't seem quite sane. They call it sport, but get me right: Therds twenty-two men all lined up to light. They kick 2. ball, and all start to run, And since my young days, I ain't had such fun. They fight back and forth for an hour or so, Then one big boy gets ready to go. This big fellow stands back in the clear, And that glint in his eye, I can see from here. He prances around, then digs in his cleats, And the way he can run, must have wings on his feet. He gets past the line, and away he does tear, And were it not for a squirt, he would have got there. Now, this little Squirt looks kind of small to me, But he gets a hold on this fellow right around the knee. They hit the ground, and there's a scattering of dirt, And when they're untangled, who has the ball, but the little squirt! Now, it's his team's ball, as you all know, Ten yards or more they will try to go. The Squirt gets the ball, and away he does tear, And if Gabriel were blowing, he'd be the first there. He is out in the open, and going to town, But the safety will try to keep him from getting around. There the safety is waiting, crouched and tense, But when the Squirt hits him, he goes near over the fence. Now the game is over, and Squirt gets the praises, As he to their shoulders his teammates do raise. 'tTell us about it, they all shout, as one, Fellers, this football sure is great fun . But I will now tell you the secret to all: The bigger they are, the harder they fall. HDalton Ferrell. DRAGONIAN 51 BASKETBALL fContinued from Page Forty-sixj Redskins. The Dragons looked like a championship team in the first half, but the Redskins began to creep up on the Dragons in the last quarter, but their rally fell two points short, so the Dragons triumphed by a 41-39 score. Cunningham returned to the lineup after an illness which kept him out of several games and led the Dragons in their attack by scoring 14 points. After a hard two-day practice, the Dragons were proclaimed ready to meet the Charles- ton Mountain Lions in a return game on the Dragons' home floor. The Dragons won the game 33-29. The Lions opened the game by jumping into an 8-5 lead at the first quarter, but the Dragons came back fighting in the second period to take the lead, which they never relinquished. They gained their fourth victory over the Lions since 1924. Homer Cox tallied 14 points to take high-scoring honors for the Dragons, followed by Cunn- ingham with 9 points. ' A few days later, the Dragons played hosts to the strong South Charleston Black Eagles. The Dragons were hopeful of a victory over the Black Eagles after their win over the Lions, but the Black Eagles had other ideas and the Dragons came out on the short end of a 45-34 tally. The Dragons journeyed to Milton for their next encounter with the Greyhounds and came back with a 31-21 defeat. The Dragons held a small lead, but the Greyhounds left the Dragons behind for the remainder of the game. Bill Nelson led the Dragons in scor- ing. Kicking the dope bucket around seemed to be the favorite pasttime of the Dragons and the Clendenin game was no exception. The Cardina'ls came, saw, played, and went back to Clendenin with a 37-31 defeat. The Card- inals rushed things in the first half and held a 23-16 lead at the half, but the Dragons were an inspired team in the third quarter and finally, after both teams had tied the score several times, the Dragons jumped into the lead and copped another basketball game. Cox led the scoring for the Dragons with 11 points. Davis followed him up with 7 points. Traveling to DuPont for a game was the next assignment for the Red Dragons. They lost their sixth game of the season to the Panthers by a close 26-25 score. The mighty Dick Mehen and his mates were too much for the Red Dragons to cope with and they went down to defeat before the Wheeling Gold and Blue, 52-31. The Dragons set the pace in the first quarter and .ran up an 8-4 lead at the end of the first period, but Dick Mehen personally led the Gold in a second period assault and they pushed into the lead. The Gold led the Dragons at the half, 23-14, and kept going away as the game progressed. Dick Mehen scored 25 points in the three quarters that he played to take high-scoring honors for the evening. Cunningham paced the Dragon attack with 8 points. The Pirates from Barboursville furnished the opposition for the Red Dragons in a re- turn game on the Dragon court. The Dragons had high hopes of defeating the Pirates in this game, but the Pirates spurted in the last period to take the lead away from the Dragons and go on to victory. The Dragons presented a hard battle in the first three periods but lacked the steam to keep the lead in the last period. After losing to the Black Eagles of South Charleston, 45-34, earlier in the season, the Dragons traveled to South Charleston and handed the Black Eagles a 42-41 defeat. The Eagles were heavy favorites to repeat their earlier victory over the locals, but the Dragons were not to be denied. After their surprise victory over the South Charleston Black Eagles, the Dragons jour- neyed to Nitro to tangle with the Wildcats. The Dragons were confident of a victory over the Wildcats, and they did win, but the Nitro boys gave the Dragons a hard battle before the Dragons finally won out, 40-39. The local lads traveled to Hurricane for a battle with the Redskins. Coach Alford used the B team at the start of the second half, and they outscored the first two Dragon teams. When the BH team was put into the game, the Dragons had scored only 8 points. At the end of the game, the Little Dragons had 24 points. The Dragons returned to their own court for their next encounter with the Milton Greyhounds. This was the second game played between these two teams and the Dragons gained revenge on the Greyhounds when they triumphed 55-29. Cox scored 30 points to take high-scoring honors for the evening. The Dunbar Bulldogs furnished the opposi- tion for the Dragons a week after the Drag- ons had defeated the Greyhounds. The Dragons were out to avenge an earlier defeat at the hands of the Bulldogs, and they did get their revenge for they hung a 38-21 de- feat on their rivals. The Dragons next encounter was with the Point Pleasant Big Blacks. The teams waged a bitter ight that had the fans on their feet all the game before the Dragons finally eked out a 42-39 victory. The Nitro Wildcats was the last team to be played by the Red Dragons in their regular season. The game was played at Nitro and after a hard fought battle, the Dragons emerged the victors. Cox led the scoring for the Dragons in their last game of the regular playing season. The Hurricane Redskins were the oppon- ents in the Dragons' first game in the sec- 52 DRAGONIAN tional played at Nitro. The Dragons broke the jinx that the Redskins had held over them in the sectional for two years and hung a 37- 30 defeat on the Redskins. The Redskins furnished plenty of battle for the Dragons in the second half, but they just couldn't hold the victory-bound Dragons. The Red Dragons won the right to repre- sent this section in the regional tournament when they pasted a 50-33 collar around the neck of the Nitro Wildcats in the finals held at the Nitro court. The game was hard- fought in the first half, but the Dragons were the superior team and were holding a slight lead over the Wildcats at the half. In the half, the Dragons routed the Wildcats in a third period rush. The Dragons defense held the Wildcats to 12 points in the last half while they were gathering 27. Cox led the scoring for the '-Champs with 21 points and Davis followed him up with 12. H. T. Crawford presented the trophy to the victorious Red Dragons and the runner- up trophy to the Nitro Wildcats. Mr. Craw- ford also presented to the Dragons, small gold basketballs and silver balls to the Nitro squad. The Red Dragons drew the Huntington Pony Express as their first opponent in the regional tournament held at the Dragons' home court. The Dragons were going to try to trip the Pony Express in the tourney, but the Express presented too tough a team for the Dragons and the locals lost out in the first round, 41-33. The Dragons trailed the Express at the half, 31-12, but came back strong in the third quarter to come within one point of the Express, but they faded and the Express took the contest. Fields and Cox paced the Dragons with 16 and 14 points. Cox was named the best center in the re- gional, for which he received a trophy. The Huntington game was the last game played this season and the Dragons finished the 1940 schedule with 12 wins and 11 loses, including the sectional and regional games. The Dragons started out with an inexperi- enced team, except for Cox and Cunningham, and after a bad start, they gave all their op- ponents plenty of trouble. They were a bunch of boys in the latter part of the season and, showed plenty of power in winning the sectional title from Nitro. The Dragons will lose seven boys from this year's squad of 12. Those who will b-e lost are: Captain Don Cunningham, Homer Cox, Charles Mitchell, Bob Fields, Bob Side- bottom, Tommy Echols, and Bill Matthews. FOOTBALL CContinued on Page Forty-fiveb well deserved the victory. Mitchell scored the Dragons' only touchdown on a reverse from the 45-yard line. The game was hard fought throughout, and both teams played good ball. On the next Saturday the Dragons battled the Dunbar Bulldogs at the Bulldogs home field. Dunbar scored first and had the Dragon fans jitt-ery, but the Dragons came right back and tied the score. Davis scored the Dragons' touchdown on a pass from Mit- chell on the 45-yard line. Late in the last quarter Davis broke loose and galloped 60 yards to the 12-yard marker, but the Bull- dogs recovered a Dragon fumble as the whis- tle blew. This was the hardest game on the Dragon schedule. The following week was the Dragon home- coming game with the South Charleston Black Eagles at Crawford Field. Th-e bleach- ers were filled to capacity and the sidelines were jammed with spectators. This looked like a very successful home-coming day, but the Eagles spoiled a perfect day by defeating the Dragons to the tune of 7-0. Mitchell and Woodard were the outstanding players on the Dragon team. After the disappointing loss to the Black Eagles, the Dragons journeyed to Spencer to play the Yellow Jackets. When the team arrived at Spencer, rain began to pour down and by game time the field was covered with water. In the first quarter Mitchell and Roberts engaged in a punting duel, but in the second quarter Mitchell slashed off-tackle and slushed his way 55 yards to score. The team journeyed to Point Pleasant to play the Big Blacks on the next Saturday. This game was also played iii bad weather. Snow began to fall just after the game had started and continued to fall throughout the game. The Big Blacks drew first blood in the second quarter when they marched 50 yards to tally. But the Dragons tied up the score in the second quarter when Cunning- ham snared one of Woodardis heaves and scored. 4 Mitchell also scored on a 60-yard run which was called back because of an offside penalty. Woodard, Cunningham and Mit- chell were the outstanding players on the Dragon team. The Clendenin Reds invaded the Dragons' stronghold on the next Saturday to do battle with the Dragons, which the locals won 51-0. The Dragons scored early and as freely as they pleased. The Reds n-ever gave the Dragons any serious competition and never threatened the team. The Dragons really went on a scoring spree with Mitchell scoring four of their touchdownsg Davis twice, Ike Ingraham once, and College once. Playing their last game of the season, the Dragons journeyed to Logan and lost to the Wildcats, 10-0. The first quarter was a see- saw affair, but the Wildcats opened up in the second quarter and pushed over a touchdown. The Dragons threatened only once in the third quarter when they pushed de-ep into 1 ' 53 gp HDgRAGONIAN g the Wildcats' territory but lacked the punch to put it over. The Wildcats scored again when Petrosky broke loose for 57 yards to tally. The Dragons finished the 1930 season with five wins, three losses, and two ties. At the end of the season, Coach Alford awarded scarlet sweaters with a large red letter to ten senior boys in recognition of at least two years of service on the regular squad. The boys who received sweat-ers were: Co-Captains Donald Cunningham and Birdsell McCormick, Jess Smith, Wade In- graham, Troy Trowbridge, Bob Woodard, Charles Mitchell, Glenn Dunlap, Dorsel Hensley, and Calvert McNeeley. Coach Alford also awarded letters to boys who played on the regular squad this year. Those who received letters were: George Godby, Bob Sidebottom, Cobby Webb, Fred Scherrep, Sherman College, Bill Matthews, Bill Ingraham, Herman Holston, and Eugene W'eitzel. George Cobern also received a letter for being the manager of the team. The annual' football banquet was again held at Justice Inn at Milton. All the boys ate as much chicken, potatoes, oysters, and hot rolls as they could. Everyone declared the banquet to be a huge success, and the boys all returned home full and very con- tented. SPRING It is spring time down in the valley Where the lazy waters flow And its Spring upon the mountains Where the wild wood flowers grow. In the wood lands spring is walking With the songs of wren and rook With the rushing of the waters From the spring into the brook. In the town and in the city Spring is gay as it can be With the noisy children playing Running, laughing, all in glee. Many thanks to God in Heaven Who gave all that we may see Life and light in things about us Made by HIM for you and me. eMarie Tackett. COMPANIONSHIP WITH GOD If you've ever watched the moon behind a cloud, Slowly and gracfully rise to heights above, If you've ever looker at the blue set of stars, God has allowed, Doesn't it bring you nearer to the one you love? If you've ever climbed to the top of a distant hill, Where you were close to the Heavens above, Didn't it give you a thrill Knowing you were close to the one you love? When I speak of the one you love, You may think of a lass or a lad, But I'm thinking of God up above, And the thrill of it makes me glad. fJeanne Le Bleu STUDENT COUNCIL tContinued from Page Thirty-oneb over the state attended this meeting. Speak- ers, group meetings, luncheon, banquet, and dance were all on the program for this con- vention. The Student Council again suggested that all-school parties be held rather than class parties. The first senior high school party was held December 13 the second, April 12g the first junior high party was held Decem- ber 83 the second, May 13. These parties are financed by each class paying five dollars. On December 12, the Student Council broadcasted over WCHS on the Schoolmast- er's program. The Student Council passed a resolution favoring noon-hour dancing one day a week. In January a monitor system was initiated in the high school. Thomas Echols was ap- pointed Chief Marshall of the monitors. Although this system hasn't been very suc- cessful this year, it is the hope of the Student Council that it may improve to the point of being really beneficial next year. h The Council passed a law that required every club to pay fifty cents for renewing a charter and new organizations to pay one dollar for the granting of a charter. The power to do this was granted the Council upon the passage by the student body of an amendment to the constitution which gave the Council increased powers. The first club to have met this new requirement was the Bisigness Club, which was recently granted a charter. An important step taken by the Council was the organization of a Presidents' Club, the purpose of which was to secure better cooperation among the various activities of the school. The Student Council bought pins for all the members. A motion was passed by the Student Coun- cil to make the Editor-in-Chief of the Sim- merings a member of the Student Council. In closing' the year's work, the Student Council realized that the most progressive year it has ever spent was coming to an end.

Some of the songs sung by the club were: Bells of St. Marys , Ciribiribin , K'All's H0lidHY,', Carry Me Back to Old Virginia, Kentucky Babe, and Deep River. The interlocutor for the minstrel was Fred Radford. The black-faced endmen were: Jack Robinson, Rolland Williamson, Harry Janney, Paul Murray, Charles Mitchell, Rob- ert Fields, and Gene Ackles. Vocal solos, instumental solos, trios, and group singing were all presented. The minstrel ended with a patriotic grand finale B . A . etty Thacker gave a patriotic tap dance. During the finals the Ciadman Club and the junior high school c or us were grouped on the stage, singing patriotic sings. Hearts and Blossoms was the operetta which the club presented on May 10.

ALBANS, W. VA. Q i l 5 2 2 is ! 55 DRAGONIAN HISTORY OF SIMMERINGS In the fall of 1925, in what was then a very small school, the highschool voice, The Sim- merings was begun. It was begun as any club in the school would start-as a strictly extra-curricular activity. Its first sponsor was Miss Pearl Pickens, who is now the only woman high-school principal in West Vir- ginia. The seniors of that year, 1926, felt the need of a project and hit upon this, then, relatively new thing-a school paper. All work was done by the seniors, but, of course, there were reporters from the various classes, including their own. They used the tiny east room on the third floor as the staff room. Prominent seniors were elected staff mem- bers by the senior body. They selected Wil- bur Thomas as editor-in-chief, who later was suceeded by Ross Moore. Ross Moore also continued as sports editor for that year. The present adviser, Miss Mary Moore, was assistant editor, and another present teacher in St. Albans, W. P. Burdette, became the first business manager. Thomas Barker was advertising manager, and Jordan Hughart acted as exchange editor. Virginia Kiene, society reporter, Helen Foster, senior re- porter, Gertrude Reynolds, junior reporter, Eula Sheaffer, sophomore reporter, Kathryn Dearien, freshman reporter, and Thomas Barker, secretary-treasurer completed the staff for the beginning of the Simmerings. Six faculty members have served as ad- viser of the paper. Succeeding Miss Pickens was Miss Violet Deem. Then came Mr. Kel- ler, Mr. Walter Snyder, Mr. Harry Jackson, and the present adivser, Miss Mary Moore. A Dkllnilig the third year, th-e method of pub- lication was changed. It became a product of the Press club, by which it was published for several years. Instead of having an editor-in-chief, the person who corresponds to that title was called the president of the Press club. Publication of the paper as it is todaywas started in 1933, at which time a class in jour- nalistic writing was installed. Staff mem- bers were selected from among that group, and each year, therefore, an entirely new staff publishes the paper. D Volume XV of today shows a rather radi- cal change from that first paper. Over the period of years, headline writing has flour- ished. Those first issues had merely the headings senior news, junior news, and all news was classified into different groups. Neither did they carry pictures or cartoons. The front page, instead of having only news stories or up-ersonal features as it does now, carried columns, jokes, who's who, all of which are now relegated to either the edi- torial on page four. A thing of which the staff is now opposed to was advertising on the editorial page. Advertising is now on the third and fourth pages. Another evil of those early days and which is zealously guarded against now was preachy editorials. Sports stories were m-erely called by the names of the teams that played, and no bal- anced make-up was attempted. The paper was in its infancy. . Along with those first issues was th-e im- portant naming of the paper. A contest was held and the name Simmeringsl' was chosen. It means Hbolling down of facts as the staff then thought. Since then the purpose of-the Simmerings has been to digest and assimi- late the news for students of St. Albans high school. The Simmerings, except for one short period, has always been printed by St. Al- bans printers. HISTORY OF THE BAND fContinued from page 373 band. Students from all over the county were given the opportunity to play. Stu- dents from our band also played solos in the Festival, ratings were given them on their work. The band received Superior rating. A. concert was given April 30, in the School auditorium. It was a very unique program, with the band playing all their new and at- tractive numbers. f May 2, 3, 4, took the band to Huntington to the State Band Festival.

ALBANS HIGH SCHOCL St. Albans High School this year finished its twenty-sixth year of existance. It is a first-class high school and a member of the North Central Association of Secondary Schools. There have been only 6 principals of the high schools. Mr. Charles P. Guice was the first principal, Mr. D. D. Riley was the second, Mr. J. E. Hughes was the third, Mr. M. P. Summers was the fourth, Mr. W. A. Burgess was the fifth and Mr. B. E. Lig- gett was the sixth and present principal. The system has expanded from a faculty member- ship of one to twenty-eight, which is the total members of the present faculty, and it has changed from a four-year high school to the present six-year high school, which includes three years of junior high work. With the school year, 1939-40, cam-e many changes in the school. The addition of 13 new rooms and a beautiful auditorium made St. Albans High School one of the best ar- ranged schools for its size in West Virginia. it now consists of three floors, has twenty- seven class rooms, plus beautiful new toilets and shower rooms for both boys and girls. For the first time four separate courses were offered. A student is now' offered his choice of a business course, an industrial Art course, a college preparatory course, or a general course. The new classes in indus- trial arts were enthusiastically received by the boys, and the girls were given a much more thorough course in home economics. This department now has two teachers in- stead of the one as in the past years. Another welcome addition is the large sound-proof music room on the third floor. in it the band, orchestra and vocal music classes, and clubs meet for their work. Because of the increased enrollment, twelve new teachers were added to the fac- ulty. They are: Richard Sidebottom, Neal A. Daugherty, Miss Margaret White, Gor- don T. Jordan, Mrs. Elizabeth Taylor, Mrs. Virginia Wheatley White, Mrs. Lillian P. Issac, Mrs. Grayce Delaney, Mrs. Ora Wintz McDermit, Miss Mary Elizabeth Riffe, Miss Naomi Kallmerten and William Hund, Jr., Mrs. Helen Thompson replaced Miss Helen Selbe. Plays, assemblies, etc., kept the new audi- torium in constant use during the second semester. The junior play, Wait For Me, was the first performance presented on the new stage. Among the outstanding enter- tainment features of the year were: the senior play, Growing Pains, the Cadman Club's Operetta, Hearts and Blossoms, and Minstrel as well as several instructive and entertaining Lyceum programs. An outstanding feature of the year was that St. Albans High was host to the State Student Council Convention October 27-28. During the past year the school produced not only a splendid football team but a basketball team which was in line for the state championship. For the second con- secutive year, St. Albans High School was host to the Regional Tournament. Among the clubs and organizations of the school are those whose main purpose is character building, such as the Hi-Y, The Girl Reserve, and the National Honor So- ciety, and those for the musically inclined students, such as the Cadman Music Club, the Girls' Glee Club, and the Band. There is also a Latin Club, a Pepp-er Club, and a Dramatic Club. The school has two student publications, the Simmerings, which is the paper pub- lished every two weeks by the journalism classes, and this annual. The Dragonianf, which is an attempt to record the main events of the year's work. In summary we feel that we can point with pride to the year 1939-40 as one full of success and achievements for St. Albans High School, its students, and its faculty.
