'r' is 3 SCHOOL SONG Although Yale has always favored The violet's dark blue, And the gentle sons of Harvard To the crimson rose are true. We will own our colors' splendor And the honors of old, While St. Marys stands defender Oi the Purple and the Gold. Through the four long years of High School 'Midst scenes we love so well, As the mystic charms of knowledge We vainly seek to spell, Or we win athletic victories And the football line we hold, Still we work for dear old High School, And the Purple and the Gold.

Army CLASS PROP:-IECY It was in the spring of 1954 that my aunts and I decided to take a trip down south. While we were riding peacefully along in our streamlined Chevrolet, we noticed the newly painted signs telling of a park where all sorts of entertain- ment could be found. At last we came to a billboard on which the painter was still putting finishing touches. As we passed, he happened to turn around and I immediately recognized him. It was Guy Core, one of my old school mates. I was, of course surprised to see him, but the presence of this one did not give me any indication that I would see more of them. Everything was going smoothly, until the motor began to sputter. Finally, the car came to a stop. It was lucky for us that it had broken down near the town limits or we would have been stranded along the country side for hours before any help would have arrived. As it was, we phoned a garage to send out a wrecking crew to come and get our car while we proceeded to investigate the surrounding territory. We had wandered around quite a bit when we noticed a crowd gathered in front of a pavilion, the name of which was sprawled across the top- Sam Maxwell's Magnificent Manifestationf' We decided to see what was going on. Perhaps it would offer some means of passing the time away while our car was being repaired. Upon entering the gate we heard a familiar voice. Step right up, ladies and gentlemen-, could it bel Yes, it was- Bub Clutter. His monologue was so interesting that we proceeded on to see wihat was behind his gab. As I paused to buy our tickets, I could see that Elberta Bell was selling them and Dale Reed collecting them. It seemed as though the whole amusement park was composed of old friends. The presence of these few caused me to wonder if I might find more. Upon entering the tents we could hear the orchestra playing Tiny Little Fingerprints. Believe it or not, 'twas Delmar Williamson waving the ivory baton. We heard a melodious voice that sounded very much like that of our class baby-Ina Hester. After she had finished her solo, who should rush out on a white steed but Sara Smiltle in glitter- ing spangles, accompanied by a fanfare from the orchestra. She, in turn, was followed by the tumbling act made up of Gene Maston, Ralph DeLong, and Bob Roberts. Here she comes, peddling on her yellow and red bike, the wonder of two, continents, the famous cyclist, Betty Gatrelll After the above performance was concluded the barker called our attention to a show being given in another section of the grounds. On our way to the next act we happened to pass the Kiddies Aero Planes operated by none other than Ray Wagner. Professor Sam Hackney seemed to be having quite a time rushing from one tent to another, his coat tail flapping in the breeze. Ten cents, one thin dime, two thick nickels, one tenth of a paper dollar, only ten copper pennies for this marvelous medicine for either barn or home use. Then he would dash to the other tent where he began telling of the five wonders to be seen within. Enter all ye mortals and gaze upon the Siamese twins, only ones in existence not 0nnected, the largest woman to be found covering five continents , also the only CLASS PROPHECY man who can lift the fat lady, the only man who can squirm out of any un- favorable position, and last but not least, the two tiniest people known to be alive. We strolled past all these different platforms but I failed to recognize their faces until we had entered the crowd again. To my amazement the Siamese twins revealed themselves to be Harold and Harry Boughnerp the fat lady Ruth Davis, the rubberman, Junior Stewart, the strongman, Hebert Gilpin, and the two midgets, Roberta Willis and Calvin Fauss. INVASION I I- -The armed forces had completely taken over the rifle range, leaving Emma Jene Smith gasping in flustration. Burton Lamp, Bob Streitenberger and Lyle Hall had their arms full of dolls, while Bob Bogard, Bill Rea, and Jack Cumblidge were becoming deathly sick smoking stogies. Smelling a most delicious aroma, I began to realize we had not eaten since morning. Because of our hunger we decided to buy some candied apples from Martha Snyder to tide us over until meal time. Having eaten our apple, my aunts, who were the humorous sort, and I approached the fun house. Hearing the gales of laughter gushing from within, nothing could stop us from buying tickets. After we had overcome all the obstacles, we were proceeding along a narrow passageway when we came to a soft dead-end. It proved to be Bill Illar. About that time someone stepped on a hidden board and the entire group fell into space landing on a conveyor that dumped us unceremoniously near a Bingo stand. The first voice that resounded on our ear drums was that of Earlene Wince, who had won an electrical clock. We wanted to pause to chat for a moment with the proud owner, Paul Irey, but because of lack of time, went on to the tunnel of love. There was a large crowd gathered around the bend of the roller coaster and through the dense forest of heads we could see the tall and stately quack doctor, Frances Creekbaum and her nurse, Mildred Powell, attend- ing a young girl. Observing more closely, I found the girl to be Arlene Meredith. Seeing that the crowd was growing too large about her we left and again headed tor the tunnel of love. Just as my aunts were descending into the boat who should come out of the tunnel but Leonard Gregg and Madeline Rea? They beckoned us to join them as they left their boat and we went with them to see Madam Louise Null, Queen of the Reptile kingdom. Adjoining the ferris wheel was the house of mirrors. The first person I saw as we entered was Lorraine Joseph admiring her slim figure before one of the mirrors. At the outer entrance, a racing figure almost knocked us down. It was Virginia Medley, up to her old tricks, running from a mouse. Looking for some thrills, we were waiting to buy tickets for the ferris wheel, when it abruptly stopped with a grinding noise. The operator, Nellie Bums, summoned the me- chanic and his assistants. As Neil Russell and his helpers Earl Noland and Dale Oldfield, rushed to the accident, something snapped and Elnora Fugate and Vir- ginia Wilson went tumbling out of their seat. Luckily they were not hurt. In no time at all everything was in tip top shape. if -' I H . f fl I W U v K - ' fi g , X -. . ' J... Q I H V Q L ,V , Q A Y CLASS PROPHECY We had become so engrossed in our merry making and in the enjoyment of meeting with old friends that we had completely forgotten our supper, so we made our way toward the center of this huge park in the hope of finding the restaurant. As we were going through the crowd, I heard a voice calling: Tip the milk bottles and take home one of these most beautiful, glamorous dolls, one of which is sure to win the heart of your little girl. Step right up folks, try your luck. Sue Raymond was certainly doing all right at her stand. Going farther down the lane we saw the one and only Edgar Haddox on his motorcycle in his daring ride through the large brick wall. Nice work if you can do it and he was doing it. What a lot of nerve for such a little man. And speaking of dare devils, you really should have seen Virginia Cross doing her high dive from a hundred foot board into a small tank of flaming water. It was truly a thrilling sight. At last we came to our destination. Lela Snively's famous restaurant, The White Tower , noted for its delicious food. Inside, the owner herself helped us to find a ringside table from which the floor show could be plainly seen. As we finished ordering, the lights were dimmed and the show began. First on the program was Letha Dotson singing the lovely song, Trees. The thunder- ing applause drowned out the blushing maiden's encore. Next was the renowned Jim Stein, reading his latest poem Prienclship. This was indeed the best place for it. Then as the orchestra played one of the popular songs of the day who should come out on the floor but Earl Darnold and Martha Sattertield doing their dance The Burlesque of Sophistication. About that time our food arrived and I'm afraid we neglected the remainder of the show, for the time being at least. The dinner was so enjoyable that I asked if I might speak to the chef. Rosoalea Henthorn, the head waitress led me to the kitchen where I expressed my appre- ciation of the fine meal to the chef who proved to be Jean Snyder. As I found my way back to our table I watched Harold Hewitt, the magician, do some very nifty sleight of hand tricks which immensely pleased the audience. As twilight was falling, we decided that it was time for us to go back and find out if our car had been repaired. On our way to the main gate, we heard several lusty yells issue from a tent. Lifting the flap, we saw John Fleming and Bob Byers in a very interesting wrestling match. I stopped then and there and counted the many school mates I had seen during the day. It was hard to believe that I had either seen or spoken to the 59 of 43 . Some may laugh when I mention the name of a damsel named Fate but I'm sure she had a hand in our meetings that day. We made our way to the garage and finding our car ready for use, continued our journey south. R. H. A. M. J. S. E. S. B. G V.

A few days later, a typical Freshman meeting was held and the motto Non Progredi est regredi, meaning Not to progress is to regress, was chosen. Class colors selected were red and white and the flower chosen was the American Beauty Rose. The following officers were elected: President ........ .... .... B e rt Cummings Vice President .......................... Helen Carpenter Secretary-Treasurer .................... Charles Hayhurst Sponsors. .Miss Bush, Miss Gates, Mrs. Mercer, Mr. Miller September, 1941, found 106 Sophomores in the class of '44. Though a few of our members were missing, we still had the largest class in school and we felt slightly more confident. Freshman timidity had been conquered by a Sophomore superiority evidenced by the facts that George Hall was chosen President of the F. I-'. A., Carl Watson, elected Band Librarian, and Barbara Car- penter served as Treasurer of the D. of E. Representatives of the Sophomore Class outstanding in athletics were: Bob Harper, Jaclc Hammond, Jr. Cantwell, Joe Reynolds, and Edgar Hess, who was the only Sophomore to receive a major letter. Sophomore Representatives to the Student Council who were also our class officers were: President ........ .... B ert Cummings Vice President .... ......... C arol Green Secretary ............................. Barbara Carpenter Treasurer .................................... Bob Harper Sponsors ....... Miss Dorsey, Mr. Karickhoff, Mr. Samuels With a firm belief in our class motto, Not to progress is to regress, our Junior year has been marked by even greater achievements. The most outstanding success was our class play Scoopl directed by Mr. Samuels. During the noon hour the Juniors sold candy for the benefit of the library, the proceeds being used to buy thirty-five new books. This year the Juniors have been even more prominent in both band and athletics. To date one member of our class, Paul Cumblidge, has enlisted in the U. S. Army. We have been most capebly led by our class officers and sponsors who were: President ........ .... G lenna Waugh Vice President .... ....... J im Clovis Secretary ...... ........................

The Club has continued to meet almost every Tuesday night at 7:30 at the high school, or at Mr. Cormany's home when we have refreshments. The name Math Club sounds as though the organization wouldn't be inter- esting, but as the old saying goes, What's in a name? We usually cuss and discuss everything from history and politics to religion and poetry. The membership and attendance varies. Among the members are Larry Brown, Carl Watson, Charles Hayhurst, Jim Riggs, Jim Stein, Burton Lamp, Lorraine Joseph, Frances Creekbaum, Guy Core, Paul Irey and Sam Hackney, The two latter are the only members who have never missed a meeting. Sam Hackney is the official teller of tall tales and stories ot the Math Club. QUILL AND SCROLL Students who wear the badge ot Quill and Scroll, International Honor Society tor High School Journalists, must be in the upper third of their class scholas- tically, must have done considerable journalistic work, be recommended by their advisers and accepted by the International Secretary, Edward Nell, ot Northwestern University.

This was especially good news tor those interested in training for industrial work, because it was the first time in the history of the school that facilities for this type of educational program were available. A need for this kind of course had long been recognized by school people and parents, but it had never been conceived, even in the fondest dreams of those interested, that a shop so well equipped as the one we now have could be obtained. Perhaps no school of comparable size in the state has a shop which compares with this one. The sixteen thousand dollars worth of equipment which has been installed consists of lathes, milling machines, shapers, drill presses, a power hacksaw, welding machines, metal forming equipment, and hundreds of small hand tools. Thirty-seven boys, in two shifts, ot three hours each, are daily learning welding and many different machine tool practices. When they have completed their training these students will be qualified to take their places on the assembly lines ot modern industrial plants. No longer can it be said that Saint Marys High School tails to provide practical training for young men desiring to go into industry. ft or Thzs We Fzght fi ' egg 53555 ,f -H L N :z-3 ,WS .--'eff' . .5 i 5 5226? -izfffjaggi- .qliyqji - 127: ' PP AQ-:.A. 52,415 V Y. fuffaf'-'H , ,fs A-W' , g 1' ff L ,gf 1 1 God grant that not only the love of Liberty but a thorough knowledge of the Rights of Man may per- vade all the Nations of the earth so that a Philosopher may set his foot anywhere and say, This is my Country. -Benjamin Franklin 0 h ll e lt c - ., .3 wa 5 .- I942 FOOTBALL REVIEW The once vaunted Blue Devils were decidedly on the green side this year. On the shoulders of Coach Varner, successor to Bill Klug who resigned his post here to go to Gary, Indiana, fell the hercu- lean task of molding a team of the caliber expected by local fans around a nucleus of three regular holdovers from last year. Two of these regulars, Roberts and Old- , field, were still nursing 1940 season 5 shoulder injuries. The th i r d Grump Hall, suffered an ankle injury that kept him on the side- lines for a good part of the season. Around this nucleus of partially disabled veterans, Coach Varner had to piece together the 1942 edition of the Blue Devils. With the exception of Lamp, Darnold, Noland and Hess, all of whom had seen some service last year, the foremost candidates were graduates from last year's junior varsity. The outlook for a successful season was indeed dark, and a glance at the schedule, one of the most difficult in SMHS history, certainly made it no brighter. In short, last year's cannon fodder became this year's varsity. Nelson Boley, last year's junior varsity fullback, assumed the halfback post and did a fairly creditable job despite a shoulder injury that became worse as the season pro- gressed. Cantwell also jumped from the jayvees to a regular tackle position. A midseason knee injury relegated him to the sidelines for a large part of the season. Darnold, the Saints' ace passer, struggled through the season with a chronic Charley-horse. Our scrappy, red-headed guard, Larry Bills, fell victim to a back injury. Streitenberger and Clovis nursed serious leg and arm injuries respectively. Reynolds, with a fractured finger, completed the casualty list. To add insult to injury, the entire squad came down with an epidemic of persevering colds. By now you may well have concluded that this more nearly resembles a casualty list from some war zone than it does a football resume. What follows is a game by game account of the season as nearly accurate as a motley assortment of press clippings and the author's somewhat hazy memory will permit.

Bud Darnold lived up to his advance notices as a passer, all three of our markers were scored on passes. Lamp snared a 35-yard heave for the first score. Another toss, Darnold to Noland, for 45 yards, accounted for the second tally. Early in the second quarter, Darnold again found Noland open with a 40-yard heave that netted the third andfinal score of the game. MARIETTA WINS OVER SAINTS, 20-1 A powerful Tiger eleven went to work on an injury-riddled aggregation of Blue Devils and succeeded in scoring early in the first quarter to grab a 'I-O lead. Prom hereon the teams battled on even terms until the opening of the second half, when Saint Marys came back strong with an aerial attack to knot the count at 7-7. Neither team scored again until midway in the final stanza, when Marietta, taking advantage of two of our fumbles, pushed over two more tallies to make it 20-7. Bills, Oldfield and Reynolds played good ball offensively and defensively. A tired band of Saints just couldn't match the superior reserve strength of the Tigers. MAGNOLIA WINS, 26-0 A strong New Martinsville eleven, playing its best ball game of the season, stopped the Blue Devils' vaunted aerial attack and went on to smash through for four tallies, one in each quarter. Magnolia's Hawkins, operating behind a hard charging forward line, tore the Saints' line to shreds as he bored through I942 FOOTBALL SOUAD First Row, left to right: Noland, N.

Seated: Oldfield, Noland, Lamp, Darnold, Hall, Roberts time and again for substantial gains. Darnold, Lamp and Oldfield were superb on the defense, but they and their teammates fell before a powerful and neatly clicking ball club that, on this evening, was a match for any team in the state. UNDEFEATED MANNINGTON TRIPS SAINTS, 1-0 Only an unfortunate fumble kept the Saints from writing Finis to the fifteen-game winning streak of the invading Mannington eleven. Statistically, the edge was all ours as we outgained the Manningtonites, 200 yards to 122, and outfirst-downed them, 10-6. Mannington scored late in the first quarter and never threatened again, while the Blue Devils, with Harper, Cantwell, Lamp and Boley performing smoothly, marched to within the enemy's ten-yard line three times, only to lose possession of the ball on some miscue each time. ST. MARYS ROLLS OVER WILLIAMSTOWN, 21-0 The Blue Devils quickly extracted the stings of the invading Yellow Jackets and then proceeded to give them a thorough thumping. Field-general Lamp did a fine job of befuddling the enemy by sending Darnold through the line repeatedly for long gains while they patiently awaited an attack via the air route. With a 13-0 lead in the second quarter, Lamp finally called Darnold back to pass. The Jackets were caught flatfooted as Roberts grabbed the first 3-r -m,..e.,-ev -if - ,H F. ' I942 FOOTBALL REVIEW pass and sauntered across the goal line. With Bills, Oldfield, Cantwell and Captain Hall charging and blocking viciously, Darnold tallied easily again in the third quarter. SAINTS TIE FAVORED TROJANS, 0-0 A heavily favored band of Trojans from Moundsville were outrushed and outgained by a valiant Blue Devil outfit. Hess, who had up until this game failed to live up to expectations, finally found himself and did a magnificent job of backing up the line. Cantwell, at right tackle, played his best game to date, while quarterback Lamp consistently outsmarted the heavier upstate outfit. Harper was our most consistent ground gainer, while Noland, Roberts and Rea stymied all Trojan attempts to run the ends. SAINT MARYS AND WEST UNION TIE, 0-0 This battle, pitched in six inches of the stickiest, sloppiest Doddridge County mud, scarcely deserves to be called a football game. What football one could see was played between the thirty-five-yard markers, in other words, the entire playing field could well have been thirty yards long, and neither team would have scored. Reynolds, Hess, Oldfield and the Boley boys had an enjoyable afternoon as they swarmed over their almost unrecognizable opponents. Our backs, miraculously enough, handled the mud laden ball without a single fumble. IRONMEN STOP DEVILS, 8-0 On the day of this game, Imlay Field, usually high and dry, was a veritable sea of mud, and a continuous downpour helped matters not at all. An underdog Saint Marys eleven, still sick of the sight of mud since last week, managed to battle the heavy Benwood outfit on even terms for the better part of four quarters. Neither team succeeded in presenting anything like a sustained ground attack, while an aerial assault was out of the question. Finally, in the dying moments of the game, one of our backs fumbled and finally retrieved the ball behind our goal line where he was dropped in his tracks to give Union two points. A blocked kick on the ensuing play netted six more points for our opponents a few seconds before the game ended. SAINTS COME BACK STRONG TO HUMBLE TIGERS, 18-6 Sistersville's Tigers grabbed a 6-0 lead in the second quarter, and as the game progressed, this lead began to loom larger and larger. For some unknown reason, the Saints' attack, like the Deacon's One I-loss Shay, fell apart com- pletely. Lamp, usually an adept signal caller, could find no play or series of plays that would work. Our hard running backs, Reynolds, Boley and Harper, were stopped cold. Darnold was either smothered or rushed so that he could find no receivers for his passes. The Tiger backs tore through our line with reckless abandon. its , .. -' ' I942 FOOTBALL Rsvlew Suddenly, midway in the fourth stanza, the picture changed. An over- contident Sistersville secondary moved up too close, Damold taded back and threw a long pass, and waiting tor it across the goal line was Burton Lamp. The try tor point after touchdown was wide, and the score was now 6-6. Unsat- istied with a tie, a desperate Tiger gambled on a long pass that inadvertently tell into the hands ot a Blue Devil receiver. On tive passes the Saints scored two more touchdowns, and were on their way to a tourth as the game ended, a fitting farewell gift to ten seniors, Hall, Roberts, Noland, Oldfield, Lamp, Darnold, Maston, Streitenberger, Cumblidge and B. Rea. LAMP AND HESS MARE ALL-DISTRICT ELEVEN Despite the fact that our season's record was not studded with many victories, district sports writers displayed their recognition of the caliber of the S. M. H. S. eleven by naming Edgar Hess and Burton Lamp as center and quarter- back respectively on the All-District team. -SAMUELS. 1943 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE September 10 Tyler Home Night September l'1 Marietta There Night September 24 Spencer Home fpendingl Night October 1 Open V October 8 Williamstown Home Night October 15 West Union Home Night October 22 Moundsville There Night October 29 Benwood There Day November ll Sistersville Home Day November 25 Ravenswood Home Day immrrw-swr wt .

Second Row: Coach Varner, Watson, Cantwell, Walton, Hayhurst, Clutter, Manager Dolson. 1942-43 BASKETBALL SEASON With Gilpin, Darnold and Lamp to lead the scoring barrage, everyone expected this year's team to at least equal if not better last year's record of ten wins and ten losses. However, Coach Varner was confronted with a very per- plexing problem, that of selecting two more men to round out a smooth, fast, high scoring outfit. A long list of reserves, Hammond, Irey, Boley, Hess, Snyder, Reynolds, Grimes, Cantwell and Harper, at first seemed to offer an easy solution to the problem. Selecting two starters from this list became a difficult task indeed. All were fresh from last year's junior high team, and no two of them excelled the others enough to cinch a starting berth. Consequently, Coach Varner shuffled and reshuffled his starting combinations. .lust as he felt he could begin to relax with one combination, it would begin to falter, and new reserves would have to be sent in to bolster it. The red hot reserve of one evening usually flopped on his next time out. However, each of these reserves gained enough experience to make next year's prospects look brighter. Despite the fact that we were eliminated by Middlebourne in our first try in the sectional, two of our players, Gilpin and Grimes, were honored by being placed on the first and second all-tournament teams respectively.

COACH JOE SAMUELS Coach Joe Samuels had a better than average Jr. High basketball team this year, but was handicapped in that they were un- able to play very many games due to transportation. Several boys on this squad developed rapidly this year and by the time they reach the varsity should be at home on the court. Cub Hess, Bill and Bob Rosenlieb, Heilman, Bradiield, Campbell, Barron and Cantwell show a lot ot promise. These boys along with several others gave the fans a lot of excitement as Prelims to varsity games this past season. , ,,,. + iw 5 '- l 15 BOYS PHYSICAL EDUCATION r- , ,E K Coach Varner has introduced several new activities into the Phys. Ed. program this year, including marching drills, hiking, tumbling, rope climbing, wrestling and boxing. In addition to these new activities, Soft Ball Leagues were formed in the fall and this spring, Basketball during the winter, Volley Ball and Track also were included in-the program. Although Phys. Ed. is still new in St. Marys, the interest this year has reached a new height. It is rapidly reaching the point where all boys regard- less of size and ability will receive the benefits of a Phys. Ed. program. The high light in the program this year was a Phys. Ed. Night at the Gym. which featured boxing and wrestling, tumbling, relays and rope climbing. The purpose of the program was to demonstrate to the public some of the things taught and practiced in Mr. Varner's gym classes. This World War II has impressed on the minds of the people the need for more Physical Education in our schools, the program in St. Marys High met the government requirements for boys in the upper grades in our Victory Corps program. A strong mind and a strong body go hand in hand, one without the other is a handicap to the American Boy. 4.,'!g:1!umm1 -- 1 I' 1'-, 1 'rPfN ?w'ef1'lw 1 I , , ,. ,,.. t .
