We, who were born to its hills, its mountains, its canyons, love it. There is no land on earth tor which we would trade it. We mountaineers have been obstinate, dumb, but not selfish. Others have taken much ot our wealth tor the asking. We have been too long content with just wages. The hills, the mountains, the canyons, they shame us. We mountaineers are on the march. For the best, we can well pay the price and we will have it .... better schools, better colleges, and a great university. W. J. B. Cormany CAROL GREEN Secretary FACULTY VIRGINIA BARHWILL, A. B.

At a class meeting, the Rose was chosen as our class flower, and red and white were selected for our class colors. The motto chosen to guide us through our four long years of high school was Always Willing. The following officers were elected: President .... ................. ........... J i m Heilman Vice-President ........ ................. M ary Lois Kennedy Secretary-Treasurer ...................... ...... M alcolm Hilty Sponsors ...... . ......... Miss Davies, Miss Bush, Mrs. Mercer At the beginning of our Sophomore year, the enrollment had dropped to eighty members. Our major accomplishment that year was the Spring Pro1ic held on April 14. With the help of all the class members, this dance turned out to be a great success. The officers chosen for the year were: President ....................... ....... B etty Waugh Vice-President ............................. Jacquelyn Dotson Secretary-Treasurer .................. , ........ Harry Bradfield Sponsors ............. Mrs. Cornell, Mr. Alley, Mr. Underwood Our Junior Class totaled seventy-three members. Bearing in mind our motto Always Willing many things were accomplished during the year. ln November we sponsored a Victory Dance and our Junior Class Play 'Professor, How Could You was an outstanding success under the capable direction of Miss Barkwill. On May 18, the Annual Junior-Senior Banquet was held, An Hawaiian theme was used throughout the evening. The officers who so ably led us that year were: President .................................. . .... Kenneth Hall Vice-President .... ....... D oris Taylor, Jr. Secretary ........ ..................

Word has been received that the rocket ship The Bobtown Cruiser has landed on Mars I l l This is the most spectacular, the most sensational news that we have ever been able to bring to our listeners. This uniquely designed cruiser was built by that great scientist, Malcolm Hilty, a graduate with the 1946 class of St. Marys High School, who after years of study received his XYZ Degree from the world renowned center of learning, The Institute of Pruntytown. We are very proud to be the first broadcasting company to bring you this thrilling day by day account of the happenings aboard the space ship as told by Miss Patricia Farren, favorite international current events reporter. Following is her story: This marvelous rocket ship was born after many hours of slaving and think- ing. Five years of intensive work were necessary before this trip could even be attempted. Food and clothing were the main problems. Containers had to be found in which to preserve the food at high altitudes and special garments had to be designed. This was capably done by Pat Foley and Wauneta Wagner, whose outfits are worn by the best dressed women in the United States, Great Britain, and even by the natives of the Belgian Congo. Now let's look at the crew members. The dare-devil pilots, Neil Eddy, Paul Buchanan and Jr. Ingram, were especially skilled because of the excellent ex- perience they had gathered while driving those horseless buggies belonging to the grocers of St. Marys. Without the cooperation ot our skilled mechanics, Coleman Shultz, John Scott, Jr. Hooper and John Ross, we would never have reached Mars. A most vital factor in our crew was the navigator, John Nicholas, the Einstein of 1970. Ot great value was our radioman, Dale Moore, who kept us in contact with our home, the Earth. We lived the life of Riley. Entertainment was provided by the Jazz King, Orlando Campbell and his orchestra, with Helen Hall pouncing on the ivories, and starring Gayla Truex as the groaner. As a special treat, tasty pastries were prepared by those passengers trained in cooking, Lucille Hamilton and Virginia Nicholas, who plan to set up a bakery on Mars. When this was announced, many passengers offered their assistance. Ted Northrop, who had no future plans was appointed flour boy, and our Hard-hearted Hannah from Hebron, Wilma Scott, because of her good taste, was made official sampler. gl CLASS PROPHECY The cruiser made its first stop at Illar's ldiotic Island, where we spent a day enjoying ourselves. Of course, there was a theater owned and operated by Alex lllar. We had to see the picture, 'The Belles of St. Marys,' starring Claire Jewell, Elsie Conaway, and Carol Heddleston, and produced by that one and only Harry Gene Bradtield. The show was so good, that we felt like doing some- thing else as soon as we could get out. Traveling down Main street, we spied a huge billboard, advertising a professional charity football game lfor the benefit of the players, of course.l On our way to the stadium we saw a policeman Paul Gault, who helped us find a short cut. We arrived at the field in time to see the team come on. Their coach was none other than former All-American player Bussy Taylor.. We heard the announcer, Roy Flowers, rattling off the merits of some shaving cream, lmust have been Colgate's.l He then gave the starting line up. This included: fullback, Christine Bills, end, Ruby Fleeman, and Jeanette Birkhimer at center. During a time out, the water boy staggered onto the field. We had seen that stagger before, and soon recognized Mahlon Fauss.. lWonder if it was water?l At half time, the band put on a stupendous performance, flying onto the field, then going into the formation of a map of the United States, in honor of the rocket ship. The band was led by those curly headed Sheiks l?l from Shangri-La, Dale Winters, I-'rench Wagner, and Jim Heilman. After the football game, we were nearly starved. Some one recommended Claris Stewart's Restaurant, as it specialized in Roasted Scorpions, Cockroaches, and Space Food. We ordered Space Food and found it to be delicious, lif we could have tasted it.l Barbara Donley was stricken with ptomaine poison, and the ship's nurse, Betty Waugh, was summoned to treat the patient, lshe wrapped up Barbara's big toe.l On the following day, we resumed our journey. After ten hours of flying, we were forced to land on a small star for refueling. We had waited for a half hour when a tired looking attendant, half-way bent over from the weight of a huge mustache, appeared. We soon discovered he was Larry Matheny. Since we had broken our floating clutch while landing, the master mechanics, Carlton Hester and Clyde Lamp were called to fix it. They told us all the gossip: 'Do you remember Hazel Maston?' She's married and has six redheaded Flower's. Joan Neely is modeling Smear-Oh Lipstick at Smooche's Place. Jackie Dotson CLASS PROPHECY is now famous and rich. It all dated back to when she received her first diamond ring. Now that's her hobby. Leaving this friendly place behind we continued on our merry way. Sud- denly holes began mysteriously to appear in the sides of the cruiser. A thorough investigation of the ship was made. The stowaways were found to be Arland Stewart, Leon Long, Robert Brammer, and the boss of the crew ot gremlins, Neil Cramblett.. When the gremlins saw that we were fellow class-mates, they apologized for their misdeeds and said that they were only trying to get pro- moted from coal shovelers to boiler mates. They even helped repair the damages. Now we were on the last lap of our journey. .lust ahead we saw a beautiful land of mountains, lakes, rivers, and meadow lands. We circled the planet Mars and finally set the rocket ship down on a grassy level spot. Jean Freeland was first to step off the 'Bobtown Cruiser,' carrying with her a flashbulb camera. She planned to take pictures of the planet and its people for her newspaper. 'The Mars Time.' Her associates were Faynelle Francis and Betty Higgins. Among the passengers on the rocket ship who had hope of doing the impossible were the explorers, Mary Lois Kennedy and Ruby Knight, who took Bob Cantwell and Kenny Hall along as their strong arm helpers. Not all these people were going to win selfish honors for there were John McFadden and Jeanne Eclrart, both well-known missionaries, who wished to establish churches for the heathens living on Mars, and for those who will follow these adventurous pioneers. The road has been opened by these daring space travelers for vast explora- tion and colonization. A new world is there to be conquered.

This was a new department added to this year's class. Last year's papers were bound in maroon with gold lettering bringing the tiles up to date so that there is a complete history of the school back as tar as 1932. Frequent parties were enjoyed by class members, a number of these being dinner parties that were held after the completion of each monthly unit ot work, Members chosen for the Quill and Scroll, international honor society for high school journalists for the year 1945 and 1946 were: Sarah Jean lmlay, Barbara Donley, Mary Lois Kennedy, Joan Neely, Dale Brown.

M ary Cox TRADE AND INDUSTRY I FOR THE JOB AHEAD TRADE AND INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION, now in its iourth year in ST. MARYS HIGH SCHOOL, enjoyed a year of substantial progress. Several thousand dollars worth of additional equipment was acquired, being made possible in part by local industries contribution and surplus property made available by the War Department. Industrial education now is a fact and its presence is due to the complexity of modern life and competitive conditions under which industry is attempting to meet the needs of a society in which the luxuries of today are the necessities ot tomorrow. Trade and Industrial Education attempts to supply the trade information, manipulative skill, technical knowledge, trade morale and trade judgment, all ot which are essential tor, The Job Ahead .

After hearing a description ot the services rendered by a plant of this type the tarm members un- animously endorsed the proposal. As a result of this action the local Board of Education immediately be- gan to construct the plant. X By June 1945 a steam boiler, l L boxes, preparation tables, s t e a in retorts, exhaust steam jacketed kettles, elec- tric grinders and other essential pieces ot equipment were completely installed and ready for operation. The new plant was rated, by those familiar with canning plants of this kind, as one of the best in the state. During the summer and fall of 1945 more than twenty-tive thousand cans of fruits, vegetables, and meats were processed. The :score ot people who used the plant have been ex- tremely well pleased with the results they obtained through the use of the most modern canning equipment available. Much credit tor the suc- 1 Z cesstul operation was due to the very fine work ot the engineers, Mr. B. W. Brown and Mr. H. C. Lamp, and to i the excellent leadership and supervision of the in- structor, Mrs. Opal Foley. , 46 P V f 36 U? HT 1945 FOOTBALL REVIEW V COACH L. P. INGRAM Won six, lost two, tied one, but there was not a football nut in this bit of geography who would have predicted such a colorful gridiron season for the Blue Devils when late on a rainy Friday afternoon in early September Coach Ingram packed his lmps in a school bus and headed down the Ohio for historic Marietta. There under the lights that same evening the Tigers went down to defeat for the first time in hisory to the Blue Devils of St. Marys High School. Brother, it was no fluke either. The Tigers were calling J. Edgar Hoover and his F.B.I. more than once that evening in a desperate effort to locate the ball. Marietta kicked oft to St. Marys andthe Tigers never knew exactly what it was all about until Lamp was across the goal line for the first marker. The con- version was good and St. Marys was leading 'I to 0. Marietta got possession of the ball when the Blue Devils kicked off and by virtue of the Tigers' superior weight in both line and backfield, managed to bull through for a touchdown. The conversion failed. The second quarter went without markers and the half ended 7 to 6 with the Imps in the lead. 1945 FOOTBALL REVIEW The third quarter went scoreless but in the fourth things happened fast and here is where Marietta really got in touch with the F.B.l. Barron and Hall both scored while Marietta managed another power drive. The score when the game ended stood 21 to 12, St. Marys, And, that was a great night. Ravenswood cancelled and Coach Ingram pulled a fox out of the hat instead of a rabbit when Barrackville came over obligingly to entertain us the next Friday night after that glorious evening at Marietta. All Week long the Blue Devils had been scratching their heads out even with their shoulders in spite of all the dope coming in from the coal fields of Marion County to the effect that this Barrackville outfit was not to be toyed with. Too late, the Blue Devils found themselves licked 20 to 0 and that was that. Barrackville obligingly entertained us with some very nifty football. Thanks! Main street went into mourning, all the curb stone coaches got together, and Coach Ingram kept sawing wood with his Imps. Pop Sullivan's Big Reds from Permsboro were on deck for an engagement at lmlay Field for the following Friday. Pop Sullivan has too much power was the prediction. Well, they came, they saw, and we conquered. The score was 13 to 6. The Blue Devils had re- deemed themselves. Moundsville, Moundsville with a powerhouse, Moundsville who had been mowing down all opposition was next up, and up there. That was a long, long, evening but there was no time that the Blue Devils failed to try their impish tricks, and in spite of overwhelming power those tricks worked twice for two markers. The score was 52 to l2 Moundsville. The defeat was in the books and the Blue Devils took it standing up and philosophically. 1945 SQUAD 1945 FOOTBALL REVIEW SENIORS At home the next Friday night The Blue Devils tied West Union seven all. It was a colorless game in spite of the close score. The Imps were just too anxious and as a result their timing was poor. They should have scored on at least four different occasions, Well, we were getting farther away from that long evening at Moundsville. The clouds were lifting. New Martinsville next up and at Magnolia Field under the lights on October the 19th., the Blue Devils and the Trojans really came together. The score was 19 to 14 for the Blue Devil-s but, brother, you would have had to see that game to really get the idea. When we thought we were winning we weren't and when We thought all was lost we won. In that last desperate minute Barron passed to Hess on the 18 and over he went standing up. Many a St. Marys fan was wiping tears from his eyes when that play went through and the game was won. St. Marys had expected every Blue Devil to do his duty, and he had. We were out of the woods. Cameron, in all her glory came down and went right back home and said we had a very fine team, that somehow the score was 34 to 'Y in favor of the Blue Devils. The Blue Devils were on the march. Tyler County High School had a formidable record for the season of 1945 prior to their engagement with the Blue Devils at Imlay Field on Friday night November 2. Well, you don't lick Marietta, get a bad dose of swell head, come back to whip Pop Sullivan and his Big Beds, parry and tie with Murphy's Irish of West Union, take an honorable thrashing from one of West Virginiafs best in Moundsville, play sparkling football to Win at New Martinsville, and polish off a strong outfit from Cameron without learning a few things. And as good teachers should, the Blue Devils just passed on some of their hard learned lessons to x ll iiiix l gxmqf LJM7 GW 'I945 FOOTBALL REVIEW Tyler. The score was 28 to 6. Again every Blue Devil had done his duty. It was November ll, the Second World War was over, the boys were coming home, the bands were playing, and it was the old Sistersville game. Sistersville? Yes, it was Sistersville. The score? 65 to 0, Blue Devils. It was a long afternoon for our ancient and honorable rivals. They took it standing up and fought to the last. Two proud schools stood face to face. Each had tasted the bitter gall of long afternoons. Yes, it was: won six lost two, tied one, and one of the most colorful seasons in the history of St. Marys High School. The 1946 edition of the Blue Devils will miss that tricky Fauss, that dashing Lamp, that speedy Hall, that they shall never pass Taylor , those broad shoulders of Cantwell, that everlasting grin of lngram's, that smile of Northrop, and the willingness of Heilman.

Had you heard? It was for the King and Oueen of St. Marys High School who were to be crowned at the Carnival November 16. In recent years this has become an annual event tor the Sophomore Class to sponsor a Carnival and such a contest. Every homeroom before the election was in a general hub-bub. Out of each class a boy and girl had been selected to uphold the dignity of that certain grade. The candidates who were selected were: Seventh Grade, Ruth Davis and Bernard Tice, Eighth Grade, Norma .lean Hart and Bobby Ingram, Ninth Grade, Luella Marple and George Zipf, Tenth Grade, Betty Hooper and Ralph Locke, Eleventh Grade, Dottie Terrill and Dale Brown, Twelfth Grade, Malcolm Hilty and Helen Hall. The winners of the crown, a boy and a girl, had to excel all other rivals in salesmanship by selling tickets. The object was to sell more votes for themselves through the help of friends than the other competitors. Every ticket sold counted ten points for a class candidate. Everyone went at it with a will. Not even the teachers escaped. Anyone could expect to be stopped a dozen times on his way down the hall and asked to buy a ticket. Electioneers were underfoot all the time. When an accosted victim said, I forgot my money, anguish was seen upon the salesman's face. The contest ended 9:00 p. m. November 16th at the Sophomore Carnival. At 9:30 p. m. the winners were announced. Betty Hooper and Ralph Locke were the lucky ones. Helen Hall ran a close second to Betty Hooper while Ralph Locke won by a large margin over Bernard Tice. The Sophomore Class president, Helen Scott, presented a lovely string ot pearls to the Queen and a hand-tooled wallet to the King. THE CARNIVAL The Sophomore Class held their Carnival Friday, November 16. The gym- nasium was decorated in keeping with Thanksgiving. Pumpkins and corn shocks separated the dance floor from the booths. Gay colored crepe paper provided an effective curtain. The juke box was concealed back of these and was operated by Lyle Campbell. There were amusements for young and old. The marriage booth was popular among the students. .lack Carpenter and Ralph Locke were the ministers. Carol Green and Martha Satterfield were the fortune tellers. Penny pitching was at- tractive to the boys. Alta Bailey and Edwin Davis were in charge of the Bingo booth which provided fun for everyone. Other features of the evening were the fish pond, telegraph booth, guessing games, and dancing. During the evening many pies and cakes were auctioned to the highest bidder with Mr. R. S. Foley acting as auctioneer. Three cakes were walked off much to the crowd's delight. Refreshments could be had at any time from the sandwich booth where Helen Scott and Thelma Frashuer were hostesses. Corsages were sold by Anna Lee Pettitt and Caroline Core. The door prize was a ten-pound turkey which was won by Joe Mack Holster. D. S. ALUMNI x I I f X ,J 5 Julian Stanley. Eloise Ruckman .... Martha Snyder. B. A. Dotson. .. Ruth Varner. . .

CARPENTER A TEN CENT STORE DOESN'T SELL ELECTRICITY That might be surprising because most American families use only a few cents worth of electricity each day. For this amount they light their homes, and run their radios, toasters, percolators, and other appliances. And to get this low priced electricity they don't have to go down to the store or even phone for it. It is Waiting at the switch any time it's wanted. The low price ot electricity and its wide availability didn't just happen. lt resulted from careful planning and the investment ot billions of dollars by private business. All through the war, and now, electricity was and is in abundant supply at the tlick ot a switch. Cheap electricity brings better living. MONONGAHELA POWER CO. General Offices, Fairmont, W. Va.
