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 Of 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.

The groundwork of the class was laid at a meeting that day with the selection of the motto, Non progredi est regredi lnot to progress is to regressl, the class colors, red and white, and the flower, the American Beauty Rose. The elected officers were: President ......... .... B ert Cummings Vice President ..... . . . Helen Carpenter Secretary ....... .............. C yrus Hoy Treasurer ..... ......... C harles Hayhurst Sponsors .... ..... M iss Bush, Miss Gates Mrs. Mercer, Mr. Miller School adjourned for the summer, and after three short months, one hundred and six students returned in September 1941 to take up their Sophomore duties under the sponsorship of Miss Dorsey, Mr. Samuels, and Mr. Karickhoff. The class officers were: President ........ .. .... Bert Cummings Vice President ..... ......... C arol Green Secretary ........ .... B arbara Carpenter Treasurer .......... ..... .... ...... B o b Harper In September 1942 the Class of '44 returned to take up their work as Juniors. For this important year they elected the following officers: President ................................ Glenna Waugh Vice President ..... ......... J im Clovis Secretary ................................ Novella Nuzum Treasurer .........,............. ...... C harles Hayhurst Sponsors .... ..... M iss Keith, Miss Dorsey, Mr. Samuels The Junior Class Play, Scoopl , under the direction of Mr. Samuels, was an immense success, as was the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. Carrying the colors of red and white for the fourth year under the name Seniors we began the greatest year of all. Summoning all our resources under our motto, Not to progress is to regress, we set about the herculean taks of publishing an Annual under the difficult conditions of wartime. The result is a triumph of which we believe we can feel justly proud. Not the least of our final accomplishments was our Senior Class Play, The Mallory Case. This three-act murder trial was something new among St. Marys High School class plays, and the performances were considered some of the finest ever given by a graduating class. We have been most capably led throughout this year by our officers: President .............................. Charles Hayhurst Vice President ..... .... G lenna Waugh Secretary ...................,............ Novella Nuzum Treasurer ................................... Carl Watson Sponsors ....... Miss Williams, Miss Barkwill, Miss Riggs SENIDRS.

Members of the Class of 1944 serving in our Armed Forces: ROSS HART ......................... GUY LONG, JR. .. RAY STATLER ........ ROBERT STEWART... United States United States United States United States Navy Navy Army Army CLASS PROPI-IECY They had assured us that our plan would work, but when Van and I found out how simple it was going to be, both he and I were a bit perplexed. We looked at each other and said, This is almost too good to be true! and we crossed our fingers and held our breath and decided to wait and see how our first meetings would come off before we committed ourselves definitely. Our negotiations had been a bit complex, but when we had made it quite clear what we intended to do and that we meant to be very, very discreet, we had experienced no further difficulties. We had merely let it be known that all we wished was to meet our high school acquaintances again, and once that had been assured, we had never even been asked for any kind of guarantee that we would live up to our promises. The whole thing had begun several weeks before when I had been in one of my morbid and depressed moods, and had fallen, quite naturally, to thinking about youth and school days and all that. Van, my best friend, had noticed my morose condition and had asked about it. I tried to explain as best I could Haven't you ever gotten to the place, Van, I asked him, where you begin to look back over your life and wonder what has become of all those youthful aspirations, whether your schoolmates have grown old just like yourself, without having accomplished anything very important? Probably it's merely natural for everyone of our age to look back and wonder about it all. For Van and I had reached the time where we not only lied about our age, but had forgotten what we had told people it was. Van had merely looked up from his work and had said that if I wanted ot learn what had happened to the people I had known in school for me to go ahead and find out. I had patiently answered that the people I was interested in had been scattered all over the globe for the past two decades, but Van would not be daunted. If you want to meet those people again there's nothing to stop you, he said. It's really very simple, and he began outlining his idea to me. At first l was too amazed to speak, but as Van progressed the idea began to take on probability, and my amazement turned to delight. Before the night was over our plans were laid. The next day we made the necessary contacts, and it was arranged that I was to learn about all the people with whom I had gone to school, although it was to be in a most ordinary manner, and they were to have no idea that our meetings had been prearranged. Now, you will ask, how in the name of heaven did we get in contact with these people, some of whom had been scattered all over the world for the past twenty years? Of that I hope to tell you some other time. It was really very simple, but for the moment it must remain our secret. Probably it will sound highly fantastic, but please consider the very original types of people involved, for, as Van and I observed, with the Class of 1944 anything was possible. The more or less supernatural powers with whom we had been hob-nobbing had instructed us to be not in the least conscious of what was to happen, but to go on in our unenlightened way, and the meetings would be disclosed to us in the course of our everyday lives. Accordingly, Van and I went to the theater that first night. We arrived in the middle of a newsreel of which Bert Cummings was com- mentator. All the noteworthy events of the day were displayed before us, and as each succeeding scene played across the screen I became speechless for once in my life, because with few exceptions all the people shown were former members of the Class of 1944. Although our contract to see these people again had been most solemn and binding, I had hardly expected such prompt service, and I could only nudge Van and whisper in an excited voice: Why, I know all these peoplel A recent ship launching was being described by Commentator Cummings, and on the screen were shown Grace and Della Kidder gaily swinging the bottle of champagne that would christen the vessel. Happily looking on was Chester Bills, still apparently unable to make up his mind which of the girls he liked the better. Also present were the ship's designer, Blaine Eddy, and the captain, Bob Core. Pilot Jim Riggs was shown alighting from his plane following his CLASS PROPHECY record-breaking non-stop flight from Eureka to Belmont, W. Va. Millionaire sportsmen Carl Watson was pictured returning from his world cruise in the course of which he swam the English Channel, climbed to the top of the Eiffel Tower, and made a determined but futile effort to find the spot where Berlin had once stood. Next we were treated to a rousing campaign speech from Whig Presidential Candidate Cyrus Hoy, followed by a reply from his opponent in the forthcoming election of 1960, Franklin D. Roosevelt, gallantly running for an eighth term. Following the newsreel came a cartoon concerning the adventures of Dopey Duck, Leo the Lion, and Gerry the Goat. The sound effects were made by those three experts at the art of animal imitations, Ralph Hernen, Bob Harper and Tom Burns. All this merely led up to the feature of the evening, which was a public appearance of Helen Carpenter and her all-girl orchestra. The tall and stately Miss Carpenter swept onto the stage and proceeded to direct a smashing per- formance of Tschaikowsky's Marche Slave. From there she went on into that gentleman's E Minor Symphony. After this, however, even she was slightly exhausted, and she collapsed into a chair off stage to get her breath. While Miss Carpenter was recovering from the effects of her strenuous directing, the audience was entertained with Emma and Her Magic Violin -Emma being Emma Fell, and her solo being a performance of a number of intricate variations on Mairzy Doats. Next the conductor's sister, Miss Barbara Carpenter, favored her admiring public with a simultaneous performance of a lovely tenor saxophone solo and her celebrated Dance of Spring. Then Miss Helen Carpenter returned to the stage, and to show that the Carpenter family was as versatile as accom- plished, concluded her program with a heart-rending recitation of Bryant's Thanatopsis. The theater thundered with applause, and the final touch was added when several huge sprays ofl flowers were presented to the performers with the com- pliments of florist Richard Hall. After having seen so many old acquaintances in the space of a few short hours, I was too excited to go home. With the evening off to such a good start, one was almost afraid to think what the night would bring. Van and I decided to do the town, and the 76 Club seemed a likely place to begin. Entering the door we thought for a moment that the Revolution had come back, for from inside came the noise of women screaming and shrieking. Van and I drew back in astonishment, but Doorman Bill Roden assured us that it was only the female patrons greeting swooner-crooner I-larry Shingleton, the Frank Sinatra of 1960. We were just in time to hear him give a soul-rending version of Home on the Range. The third note of every measure was regularly accented with great drawn-out sighs and screams, and when he finished with a particularly nostalgic touch it was too much for his ardent admirers. With a final sigh nearly a half dozen women at the front table collapsed in a heap of fainting glory. Everyone rushed to the scene, and the head-waiter, Sam Jones, asked if there was a doctor present. There was not a doctor, but three nurses hurried to the rescue. It did not take anyone long to recognize them, for they were Phyllis Mitchell, Blanche Buch- anan, and Ruth Knight, the celebrated angels of mercy, who had just returned from Timbuctoo, where they had been ministering to the needs of underfed cannibals. I was surprised to see them, and even more surprised to discover that the fainters were Virginia Roberts, Betty Ruckman, Edith and Irene DeLong, Anna Mary Weekley, and Betty Ruth Coss. Van and I were shown to a table, and I soon discovered that the reports were true concerning the celebrated people who frequented the club. I was to find that it was also true that bartender Harry Morgan's omelettes could float by themselves. My attention was focused on a couple seated at a table across the floor. The lady was deeply engrossed in reading a book, while her escort was slouched in his chair opposite her looking very bored. While I was watching she finished her book, without a moment's hesitation picked up another from a stack which surrounded her, and began madly to tear through it. She was the CLASS PROPHECY eminent literary critic, Elsie Sweeney, and her companion was master architect Myron Cunningham. All eyes suddenly went to the door, where a gorgeous creature was entering, exquisitely dressed, and with a hair-do that could only be described as remark- able. The gorgeous creature, hair-do and all, was Margie Winters. Closely following her came Geraldine Parson and her sixth husband, whom, it one was to believe the rumors currently making the rounds, she was about to divorce. It was late when we left the club, and as Van and I walked along in search of a taxi I received the final shock which topped off everything else that had happened that night. For coming down Broadway on her bicycle was Maxine Howard, delivering the morning edition of the New York Times. When we arose about noon the next day, we found some very interesting mail waiting for us. There was an invitation to one of Mary Bill's celebrated parties, to be held on board her submarine, anchored for the moment in her Long Island swimming pool. Then there was a package from the Book-of-the-Month Club containing the month's selection and the current book dividend. The dividend book was the selected works of Glenna Waugh jtwo volumes, neatly boxed, suitable for throwing purposesl. Volume 1 was poetry and contained some of the choicest nuggets from Miss Waugh's golden treasury. The volume ot prose contained the complete manuscript of her sensational best seller, l7,835,6'12 Ways to Commit Suicide. The month's selection was the gay and witty autobiograph of that sophosti- cated woman of the world, Carol Green. I spent the day reading this book, and it was not long before I realized that my receiving it had a definite purpose, for undoubtedly the powers with whom Van and I had been bargaining had sent it to me as part of our contract. I remembered then that they had not said I would actually meet all my fellow class members, but would merely learn of their whereabouts. And Miss Green's book soon showed me that they were about, some of them in a great big way. In her wise and witty volume, deftly entitled Present Imperfect, the author walks right up to such subjects as Human Nature, Fame, Character, Marriage, Politics, and Opportunities. A rather large order, you might say, but it leaves the lady with unturned hair. Successively, she knocks down and drags out each topic. And this isn't all. Through the pages of Present Imperfect walk the great, for Miss Green has been everywhere and seen everyone. I don't say that she actually permits us to rub elbows with them ourselves, but she willingly shows us her own elbow, which has been, so to say, honed on the mighty. She discusses the merits of iambic pentameter, hexameter, tetrameter, and alliteration with the poet, Charles Hayhurst. Through her eyes we watch Larry Brown making oxygen and performing intricate experiments with napthalene jmothballs to the unscientitic readerj. We hear the author discuss Blackstone with the famous woman judge, Alice Wells, who has just handed down the world- shaking decision that the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 was unconstitutional. We listen as she talks about punt formations with the Hnuts Rockne of Raven Rock Tech, Joe Reynolds, and we learn of how she lost a fender from her Rolls Royce convertible when OPA Director Archie Coy Cantwell, Jr., collided with her. All these diverting characters, and more, I found wandering through Miss Green's prolific pages. I was to learn several more items about fellow class members before I put the book down. It was charmingly illustrated, I noticed, with drawings by Evelyn Dotson, and had been published by the Argus Press, which I knew to be owned by George Hall and Pansy Rea. We had previously planned to go to a house party in Connecticut for the week-end. While we had given it up at first, after we had made arrangements for our meetings, we decided the next day that there was no reason why we should not go since we seemed to meet old acquaintances wherever we went. As we left the city, Van turned on the radio just in time to hear the regular morning broadcast of New York City's Home Demonstration Agent, Elizabeth Dinnin. Immediately following came a broadcast by gossip columnist Lorena Kelly. Speeding along through the' Connecticut countryside we got the lowdown CLASS PROPI-IECY on everything worthy of Miss Kelly's attention. Catherine Grant, we learned, had chartered a Flying Fortress to transport herself and her seven children to Reno, where she would establish residence for a divorce. Shirley Temple's stand-in, Novella Nuzum, would arrive in New York next week for a personal appearance tour. The world's fastest typist, Anita Cornell, had just won another contest, in the course of which she had worn out four and a half typewriters fthe half being a portablel. Betty Jones, world famous authority on social etiquette, was scheduled to lecture next month at the fashionable Vermont Girls' School operated by Georgia Weekley and Betty Turner. Photographer Glenn Stewart had fallen from the fourteenth story window of a New York hotel while attempting to get pictures of a quarrel between John Hammett and his wife, and tobacco auctioneer Carlton Lyne was recovering from a case of lockjaw. Sitting in the middle of a lovely field of daisies was an artist busily painting. I thought I recognized her, and when Van stopped the car and we approached nearer I saw I had been right-it was Mary Boley, happily painting the surrounding landscape. Miss Boley had been back in St. Marys recently and so was able to give me some first-hand information. The town had been given some excitement recently when the ferry that Gordon Adams operated between St. Marys and Newport had capsized in the middle of the Ohio River. All the occupants, however, including truant officer Franklin Eckart and Bens Run's postmaster, Bruce Northcraft, had been safely rescued by the swimming pool's lifeguard, Edna West, who had been on the scene at the time of the accident. An airplane was soaring over our heads, and suddenly, while we were talking, we realized it was in trouble. While we were helplessly watching two figures left the plane and jumped into space. The plane went spinning crazily off over a nearby hill, and at almost the same moment we heard it crash, the two figures came gliding down into our very laps. They were Jack Hammond and Hetty Hendricks, now husband and wife, who had been taking a spin when something had gone wrong with the controls, and, but then we had seen what happened. The owner of the farm, who we later learned was Charles Pethel, came running out of his nearby farm house, closely followed by his assistant Paul Milhoan, to discover the cause of the excitement. A huge crowd soon gathered, and Van and I, seeing that the situation was well in hand, quietly took our leave. As we rode along, Van said: Well, I suppose you'll be seeing some more friends at the party. Everywhere we go you meet or hear of a few more. No, I said, thinking back over the past two days, that's all of them. They're all accounted for now. We rode along in silence for a few more miles, and then Van spoke the thought that was in both our minds. You know, it's strange, he said. l don't see how we managed all those meetings. I don't believe I could do it again. Nor I, I answered. Then: You know, Van, it all seems so very unreal. I wonder if we actually did meet and learn about all those people? Why I don't know, he said. If we don't know ourselves, who does ? I looked at him for a moment, and then as I had no answer for that we rode on in silence. Hoy Mitchell Buchanan Kelly Green Rea Class of '44 Review in Rhyme Back in nineteen forty-one A brand new class came on the run. Because of its mighty brawn and mien They were known as The Fighting Freshmen. And then in the year of forty-two We showed our colors were true blue. When we came back to even the score We were named The Slugging Sophomores. Next in the year ot forty-three Our class so very haughtily Upheld our motto in manner llaunty That we were called The Juniors Jaunty. In this historic forty-four Midst trials ne'er experienced before, We've surpassed almost everything seen Because we are The Seniors Supreme. In Band and Orchestra we took the prize Because each was good, regardless of size. At practice or festival we had others beat, And when we came home there was plenty of treat Scholastic honors added to our class reputation, Geniuses we have, and this isn't exaggeration. Latin was hard, and Trig. wasn't easy, But Physical Ed. was just plain breezy. On the gridiron, and cage floor, too, Our class had champions that really came through. They played the game in Blue Devil style While fans applauded them all the while. Last, but not least, come battle fronts tar Where the class of forty-four has many a star. Duty has called them, and school work is done Until that final battle is won. -Charles R. Hayhurst SENIOR CLASS Not to progress-is to regress, Not to win is but to tail. Let us strive to be successful As So proudly we all haill Let us strive to hold high honors, And for freedom let us fight. May we never lose our prestige, Honor ever Red and White.

If these admonitions are adhered to, we feel certain that the change will be for the best. Phyllis Reynolds: We're glad to hear you're being true to Huntzy. Heep it up, kid, and maybe you'll get the other ring, too. Waveolene Joy: Take our advice, Gert, and pass it along to the rest of your gang. Even though you are Juniors, you're still quite young, and so are not half so experienced as you'd like to lead yourself and others to believe. Betty Waugh and Novella Nuzum: Don't give up hopes, girls. Maybe that former member of the Class of 1945 will come back some day. Bill Northrup and Sam Grimes: We think you are two swell boys. Just don't change during your last year of school. lla Lou Watson: Who's going to take Brown's place now that he's grad- uating? Colleen Barron: Stop talking so much about your honey and your true love. It sounds very silly, and besides you change boy friends so often it's quite confusing. Robert Hiester: If you're trying to take Cantwell's place as the high school Cassanova, give up the attempt. You're not half so alluring as you'd like to think. Catherine Weekley: Your sweet disposition would fit admirably tor a missionary. Ensil Malone: Take things slower, you're only a silly freshman. Martha Webb: Don't be so trusting. It sometimes gets one in trouble. Orlando Campbell: Try saving your voice for your future singing career instead of talking so much in class. Ann Zipt: Make Harry Gene settle down. He'll never get any place the way he's going. Stanley Elder: Take our advice if you want to make better grades, and change your seat from behind the steering wheel to behind the desk. Mahlon Fauss: Quiet downl Everyone knows you're in school by now. Doris Taylor: Keep up the football practice, Bussie. Remember, that's how Coach Stone got his start. Jimmy Heilman: Don't be such a pest. It might get you in trouble some day. Pauline Smittle: Don't be so outspoken and you'll make more friends. Dale Brown: Better watch out the next time you stow away in Larry's car. Remember, he's bigger than you. Marjorie Safety: Why not acquire a sense of humor? Just look what it did for your brother Vincent. Jeanette Coram: Don't smile so sweetly. You give the boys heart flutters. Bill Snyder: Keep up with the basketball, Red. We want to see you take Hammond's place next year. Bill Bullman: Heep up that sophisticated manner, Bing, and you will always be popular with the girls land the girls with your carl. Bob Barclay: Better settle down, Bob. We hope to see you graduate next year. Patty Foley: Don't be so extravagant with your scarf and shirttails-there's a war on. Paul Buchanan: Stop having so many different girl friends. You'll run out pretty soon. ADMONITIONS Marilou Boughner: We think Bussie's cute, too, but please give someone else a chance if you don't want him. Hazel Matson: Don't give up too easy, Hazel. You may get Clyde yet. Pat Riggs: Heep up with your trombone playing, Pat. We want to see you take John Williams' place next year. Helen Hall: Since Ralph took John's place, we're wondering who's going to take Ralph's. Patty Farren: You needn't wake the neighbors yelling at Sam just because he wants to date someone else. Bill Mayfield: Go out for football. The team always needs husky men like you. Sara Triplett: Cut out your childish pranks and watch your disposition. You're not the only girl in school. Jacquelyn Dotson: The Mae West technique isn't so bad, Jackie, but what would Mama say? Charlotte Golden: We think you're a wonderful singer and all that, but the next time you sing The Star Spangled Banner please, for your own sake, leave oii the high note at the end of it. Juanita Strickland: We advise you to settle down. Things are being found out about you. Louise Gwinn: We know the Seniors are great people, but we think you should be more interested in some of your fellow classmates. Gordon and Mahlon Fauss: What's this we hear about you and the two Bettys? We wish to give a little much needed advice to a few of our Seniors also: Bert Cummings: We advise you not to answer the army officers in duck talk. You might not get by as easily as you do in school. Joe Reynolds: Settle down, boyl You could never pilot a plane the way you're going. Hetty Hendricks and .lack Hammond: You two don't need advice. What you need is a preacher. Marjorie Winters: Take it easy, Marge. Is there a boy in school you haven't dated? Pansy Rea: We advise you to give up Sistersville and give the home town boys a chance. Phyllis Mitchell: When you become a nurse, we hope your attendance at the hospital is more regular than it has been at school. To the boys in the Service: We congratulate you on the fine work you're doing, wherever you maybe. Mr. Underwood: We hope you can keep your position as our most eligible bachelor, but with the manpower shortage what it is, it's going to be difficult. In conclusion, we advise: Juniors: Don't be so dignified. You will soon learn you have plenty of time for that when you are Seniors. Sophomores: You are a very noisy bunch. Pattern otf your sister class and learn to be more orderly. Freshmen: You've a good start. Keep going and some day you'll outgrow your babyish ways and become dignified Seniors. ' Not to progress-is to regress.

A class meeting was held soon after, at which the following officers were elected: President .......... .... D onald Irey Vice President ...... ........ A nn Zipf Secretary-Treasurer .... ............ M arjorie Safety Sponsors ............ .... M iss Bush, Miss Minnick Mrs. Mercer, Mr. Eckart Blue and white were chosen as the class colors, and the flower selected was the snapdragon. The motto agreed upon was: The time demands strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and willing hands. Returning to high school in September 1942, the enrollment of our class had dropped to seventy-seven students. The officers elected at the class meeting were: President ........ . . . ..... Donald Irey Vice President ..... ................ A nn Zipf Secretary ...... ........ .... M a ry Agnes McFadden Treasurer ..... ......................... P auline Smittle Sponsors .... ..... M iss Curry, Miss Minnick, Mr. Alley During that year our class was well represented in the field of music, athletics, and various other organizations. As Sophomores we had a lot of fun providing entertainment for the school by having two dances at the gymnasium with games and other amusements. School opening in 1943 showed that our class had decreased in membership to sixty-five. Officers elected were: ' President ........ . . . Lyle Dayhoff Vice President ..... ...Marjorie Safety Secretary. L ...... . . . . . . Jeanette Coram Treasurer ..... ............ P auline Smittle Sponsors .... .... Mrs. Weber, Mr. Stone We gave two dances this year, one following the football season, and one following basketball season. One of the outstanding features of the year was our class play, l'm in the Army Now, directed by Mrs. Weber. During home football games we sold refreshments, the proceeds of which were used to make the Junior-Senior Banquet, given May 12, a huge success. This event marked the closing chapter of three very happy years, and it is with great pleasure that we are looking forward to our Senior year. JUNIORS Lyle Dayhotl- Men of few words are the best men.

B ill lllar Adviser ...,.................. ...Miss Susan Minnick With a small class and little equipment with which to work, the Argus Statt published eight mimeographed papers during the school term. The class worked hard to economize, yet to put out a better paper than those previously issued. Coverage was emphasized so that all classes and organizations were in- cluded as well as the name ot each pupil in school. Publications were arranged with material tor the information ol parents as well as enjoyment of pupils. Special stress was given to war news, especially that which could help build a stronger home front. Features, editorials, and news articles told ot the jeep campaign, paper drives, Red Cross, United Service Organization, stamp drives, and patriotic assemblies. A full page of service news was written each month. Free copies were mailed to hundreds ot boys in service, a few going overseas. April Fool's Day was celebrated by publishing a special edition, the first in the history ot the Argus. It was all tor tun. Journalists enjoyed writing it, and students got more laughs from this little extra than from all the other issues. Papers contained approximately eighteen pages each. Three issues were entered in the State Contest at Morgantown in competition with other mimeo- graphed ones. Members chosen for the Quill and Scroll, international honor society tor high school journalists, tor the year l943 and 1944 were: Betty Turner, Cyrus Hay, Carl Watson, and Bill Illar. These members are in the upper third ot their class scholastically, and have done outstanding work on the Purple and Gold or Argus statt. TRADE AND INDUSTRY The Trade and Industrial Department occupies a unique and important place in modern education. lt provides pre-apprentice training for several industrial pursuits and vocational guidance designed to enable a student to tind a field in which he can serve others with satisfaction to himself. Thus it is designed both to prepare boys to make a living and improve their standard of living. This type ot training came into existence to meet the demand of workers and employers for an opportunity to develop skills in industrial fields, and to acquire knowledge in related subjects. St. Marys High School is fortunate to be one of only sixteen High Schools in West Virginia authorized by the State Department of Education to include Trade and Industrial Education in their curriculum during the 1943-44 school year. Twenty-one Seniors and twelve Juniors were enrolled. Since this is a two- year course, students with tour or more credits in T. and I. received a Vocational Diploma in addition to their High School Diploma. GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION In September, the Girls' Athletic Association was organized for the first time. The club was open to any girl enrolled in St. Marys High School interested in sports. Considering that 60 per cent of the school is made up of pupils, a membership of 45 is quite unusual. The G. A. A. sponsored weekly open house at the gymnasium. Various committees planned the recreational program, which consisted of various super- vised activities. The regular club meetings were of an educational nature. The iollowing programs were enjoyed by members: Beauty Demonstration, by a local cosmetolo- gist, The Doings of the Waves, by Special Technician Stout, Book Review, motion picture, The Technique oi Basketball, and a talk on England by Rev. E. G. Rocklitf. A bowling party and several outings were held during the months of April and May. Letters were awarded to G. A. A. members who merited 100 Honor Points.

The decrease in population in and around St. Marys, due to the number of men who had entered the armed forces, made any possibility of an extremely profitable year from a financial point of view very doubtful. Then there was the problem, always to be faced at the beginning of a new season, of filling the vacancies left by players who had graduated. Transportation difficulties itire and gasoline shortagesl added to the already plentiful heap of woes which the athletic department had to face in the early fall of 1943. Coach Stone and his team, however, set about surmounting the problems that confronted them, and the result was a football season that can take its place with the best in St. Marys High School history. What follows is an account of the games, the scores of which gave evidence as to the extent of Coach Stone's and his team's achievement. From a glance at this account an interesting fact emerges. The Blue Devils of 1943 did everything on a grand scale. There were few, if any, really close games. The scores were either piled up high for the St. Marys boys or against them. Whatever the games might have lost in excitement as a result of these more or less one-sided scores, the final result more than justified, for of the nine games played, only three were lost.

MARIETTA DEFEATS SAINTS, 20-6 Coach Stone's eleven opened their season against a powerful Marietta team, and the l943 game was a faithful reproduction of what had passed the year before. Like the previous year, the Tigers scored early in the opening quarter to grab a 7-0 lead. A strong Blue Devil defense kept the Marietta team from scoring against in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Whiting, Marietta quarterback, broke through right tackle and made a 72-yard run for a touchdown, kicking for the extra point. The Blue Devils struck back, with some brilliant playing from Cantwell, taking advantage of a fumble to bring the ball into Tiger territory. Now, from the 43-yard line, Harper outran the Marietta line for a touchdown. A short pass and a 15-yard penalty added to the difficulties of the Blue Devils, and put the Tigers in a scoring position. Whiting drove through for a third Marietta score, leaving it 20-6 as compared to a 20-7 score the year before. RAVENSWOOD FALLS TO ST MARYS, 14-6 A strong St. Marys lineup, out to get someone's blood for their defeat at Marietta the week before, met the Ravenswood Red Devils and won their first game of the season. The opening portion of the game was anything but optimistic from the Blue Devils' standpoint, for things seemed to be running strongly in Ravenswood's favor. The Red Devils scored first when Hartley carried the ball for a touchdown after a St. Marys player fumbled and a Ravenswood man re- covered on our three-yard line. But, as if in a prophecy of things to come, the Red Devils failed to make the extra point. Things changed in the second quarter, when Harper carried the ball around his own right end for a touchdown, putting St. Marys ahead when he carried the extra point. The score was now 7-6, and so it remained until the last quarter, with the Blue Devils well into the Ravenswood backfield on nearly every play. Hammond's defensive playing was especially outstanding in this game. I 943 FOGTBALL REVIEW ST. MARYS TRIPS MASON CITY, 20-12 The Blue Devils scored early in the second quarter in this game to grab a 7-0 lead over the Mason City eleven. Mason City scored a touchdown in the last minutes of the third quarter, but it was not enough to place them on a level with the Blue Devils, for their pass-try for the extra point was incomplete. The St. Marys' lead was assured in the fourth quarter when Harper made a 51-yard run for another touchdown, and Cummings completed with the extra point. Mason City came back to make another touchdown, but once again their effort for the extra point failed. The 14-12 score was retained until Rea, receiving a 15-yard pass from Harper, ran 45 yards for St. Marys' third touchdown. This time the Blue Devils failed to get the extra point, but the final score of 20-12 was more than enough to give St. Marys their second victory of the season. ST. MARYS WINS OVER RIPLEY, 26-I4 The third home game of the season, and St. Marys' third successive victory, came when the Blue Devils met a flashy team from Ripley in one of the year's most exciting games. It was, incidentally, one of the season's most contradictory games, for during the first half Ripley maintained a one-point lead, only to fall back in the second half before a superior St. Marys team. St. Marys scored first when the indomitable Harper rounded left end for 44 yards and a touchdown early in the first quarter. A try for the extra point failed, and when, a few minutes later, Ripley's quarterback went through right tackle for their first touchdown and a subsequent extra point, the opposing team got their fateful one-point lead. The second quarter was a repetition of the first. Once more Harper scored first, and this time the extra point was made. Ripley came back again for what was to be their last triumph, and the first half came to an end with a score of 14-13 for Ripley. The picture changed near the end of the third quarter when Cummings went around Ripley's right end for 51 yards and a touchdown. A pass from SENIORS ON SQUAD Left to right: Riggs, J, Cantwell, Reynolds, Harper, Cummings, Hammond, Kernen, Burns. 1943 FOOTBALL REVIEW Harper to Reynolds made the extra point and the score, 20-14. The Blue Devils' lead was made secure in the fourth quarter when Harper intercepted a Ripley pass and ran 54 yards for St. Marys' fourth touchdown. A try for the extra point failed, and at the end of the game the score stood 26-14. BLUE DEVILS DEFEAT WEST UNION, 13-6 The Blue Devile, by now accustomed to meeting their Doddridge County opponents in a sea of mud, achieved a marked victory over the boys from West Union as compared to a scoreless tie of the year before. The teams met in a downpour of rain and on a field of water, but the football played under these conditions was admirable to all concerned. St. Marys' two touchdowns were scored by Harper and Cummings, but the star of the game was Barclay at center, who handled the mud-laden ball in a manner that would have done justice to the best. BLUE DEVILS LOSE AT MOUNDSVILLE, 19-0 A superior Moundsville team, still smarting from a humiliating 24-0 defeat two seasons ago, and a scoreless tie the previous season at the hands of the Blue Devils, were out in full force to avenge themselves this time. The Trojans rushed the ball for a score in the first and second quarters, and the half ended 13-0 in their favor. It was the first time that the Blue Devils' plays had been bottled up, but in the second half St. Marys recovered sufficiently to keep the Trojans back in their own territory with Harper's passes to Snyder and Dayhoff for completions. Even this was not enough, however, to keep Moundsville from scoring again, and the game ended 19-0. IRONMEN STOP BLUE DEVILS, 25-0 A decidedly heavier Benwood team was more than a match for the Blue Devils, sadly disillusioned from their defeat at the hands of Moundsville the week before. The first half of the game consisted of a quick succession of Ben- wood successes. Three plays after the opening kickoff Benwood had its first touchdown, scoring again later in the first quarter. With the end of the second quarter the Ironman had scored twice again, making the score 25-0. But in the second half the picture suddenly changed, for what promised to .be an overwhelming Benwood victory was stopped dead. Thanks mainly to some expert playing from Bullman, the Blue Devils held the Union team scoreless They did not give them a first down, they threw the runners for losses, and did not let the passer throw the ball. SAINTS DEFEAT MIDDLEBOURNE, 28-0 In a breath-taking afternoon game the Blue Devils more than redeemed themselves for their defeats of the past two weeks when they rolled over the Middlebourne Raiders in the most literal sense of the word with a decidedly onesided score of Z8-0. It was a complete victory for the Saints, for they outplayed their opponents during all quarters of the game. Cummings, who was responsible for most of the scoring, emerged as the hero of the afternoon. One of the three touchdowns made by him followed a sensational run of 83 yards. ST. MARYS ROLLS OVER SISTERSVILLE, 26-1 The football season ended on a note of high triumph for the Blue Devils when they humbled their arch-enemy, the Sistersville Tigers, in the most humiliating defeat ever inflicted by a St. Marys team on their rivals from Tyler county. 1 -' --www --1 pn- vw-w -1-'-W-' - I 943 FOOTBALL REVIEW The scoring came fast and furious. ln the game's first offensive play, Harper came through with a touchdown. Reynolds took over from there with two more scores in the second quarter and another in the third. The Tigers, with their lone touchdown, could make little impression against such a team as the Blue Devils. The final score of 26-7 was a most appropriate finish to the high school football careers of Cantwell, Harper, Reynolds, Cummings, Hammond, Hernen, and Riggs. So ended the 1943 football season. It had been a good one, with its record of only three losses out of nine games played, and its distinction of having two players, Cantwell and Harper, given honorable mention on the all-state football team. Now it was ready to take its place in the history of St. Marys High School football. In the meantime local fans were speculating on the prospects for next season. With Snyder and Davis as ends, Taylor, Fauss, Foley and Conaway as guards, Barclay and B. Cantwell filling center position, Bill and Ted Northrup as tackles, and Dayhoff and Bills in the backfield, the 1944 season will easily main- tain the standard ot the past. -HOY 1944 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE When Who Where September 15 .... .....

There were arguments for both sides of the question. While the skeptics were busily pointing out the tact that the squad possessed no reserves, no tall players, and had a new coach and a new system, other fans were remembering that the present team possessed certain definite advantages in the persons of Hammond, Grimes, Snyder, and Reynolds, all of whom had shown something more than promise during the previous season. It wasn't long before it became apparent that the latter group had been the more far-seeing of the two. Before the season ended local fans had been treated to some of the most exciting games and thrilling incidents in the history of the school. Out of nineteen games played, fourteen were won. In itself this is proof of a successful season. But there were certain other feautres of those nineteen games that made the 1943-44 basketball season one of the most sensationally successful ever, and one that will long be remembered. For instance: Giving Wheeling, the state champions, a scare in a close, hard-fought game. Beating Parkersburg, Middlebourne, and Williamstown on their own floor, something which St. Marys had not been able to do before. Defeating Sistersville by 22 points at St. Marys. Holding Williamstown to one point and scoring 16 points in the last quarter to win. Despite the fact that we were defeated by Sistersville in our final try in the sectional tournament, we had the satisfaction of having previously eliminated Tyler, and of having two of our players, Hammond and Reynolds, honored by being placed on the first and second all-tournament teams, respectively. 1943-44 BASKETBALL SEASON Team scoring record and schedule for 1943-44 basketball season: Dec.

Future basketball looks bright around St. Marys High School. A team ot eighth graders really can shine on a basketball floor. Coach Stone kept the eighth graders together by giving them a couple of nights practice during the week, and letting them play the reserves in the pre- liminary games. They broke even, winning two games and losing two, but the climax came when they were the runners-up in the Class Tournament.

X ,f M it l GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION Girls enrolled in St. Marys High School are extremely proud ot the girls' physical education program. This picture portrays a cross section ot the activities enjoyed by 200 girls during the 1943-44 school term. V, the symbol tor All Out Victory, represents military drill, which definitely has a place in any rounded program. Other activities ot the year have been: soccer, hockey, basketball, volleyball, badminton, sottball, archery, bowling, ping-pong, horseshoes, rhythmical activities and games of low organization, which have been designed tor party use. The basketball teams for intramurals were selected from various physical education classes by the Intramural Board. The Junior class defeated the Sopho- mores in the finals by a 29-I3 score. This is the third consecutive year that the class of 1945 has been winners of the finals.
