Mr. Cubbon ffl ln the two years that our principal, Mr. Cubbon, has geen with us, he has placed himself high in our hearts. Never is he without a friendly word to help those who are in need of it. By taking part in all school activities, he has made us feel that he is one of us. It is not a rare sight to see Mr. Cubbon at all games giving assistance whenever it is needed. We thank you, Mr. Cubbon, for your advice and loyalty, and hope that you will always be as you are-a gentleman we admire. Senior Class Sponsors Mr. Gudekunst Miss Williams The Senior Class of l948 may well pride itself on its choice of class sponsors -Miss Williams and Mr. Gudekunst. In the undertakings of the class, they have been of unlimited service and assistance. When the going became difficult, they were always within reach. To our class sponsors we wish to express our sincere appreciation. Miss Grace Albright One of the reasons for the success of the Senior Class of l948 is Miss Albright, the class advisor. She is never without time to give a friendly word or to lend assistance. Throughout the year, her desire to promote the welfare of the class has been felt by all of us. lt is with deep appreciation and gratitude that the class of '48 acknowledges its debt to that earnest worker and faithful class advisor, Miss Grace Albright. ,' V I' Senior Executive Committee Striving to surpass the previous senior classes, in all its activities, the class of '48, led by the senior executive com- mittee, conducted a magazine sale in October which placed the class far above other classes in both profit and co- operation. Ninety-five per cent of the class took part in this project, by which a grand total of Sl,376,95 was raised. Outstanding assistance was given this group by Miss Grace Albright, the class advisor, and by Miss Cornelia Williams and Mr. J. E. Gudekunst, the class sponsors. f f 1 f I 1 1 A y 1 CLAYCE G.

Casto and Wallace made touchdowns, and Nice- warner kicked both extra points, ln their next outing the Hitemen played one of their best games of the season although losing to the highly favored Big Reds of Parkersburg l4-O. Nicewarner, Wallace, and Blair led an aerial attack to the Red's 35 for the only W. l. threat. The strong W. l. forward wall held their oppo- nents four times within the ten-yard marker. Encountering next the Morgantown Red and Blue, the Hilltoppers were handed their worst defeat of the season 25-O. The Clyde- men scored almost at will in the first half, while being held scoreless the last two stanzas. W. l. looked its old self the next week as it defeated Buckhannon-Upshur 27-O. This second win of the season was marked by the outstanding work of Dick Corsini and Bob Blair. Corsini scored once on an intercepted pass, and Blair scored 'three times on two passes and a line buck. Elkins turned on the power to overcome W. I. by a score of l9-O in the Hilltoppers' last road game. Grimm counted for all of the Elkins points. . HINKLE SUAN BLAIR CASTO NICEWARN ER WALLACE Victory put a dismal end to the football picture on the hill as it downed the Lee Streeters I3-7 in a real heortbreaker. In a steady downpour of rain, the Eagles took advantage of every break to score twice in the last quarter. Casto and Wallace led the Hilltoppers' ground attack with Costo scor- ing the lone W. I. touchdown. Victory scored on a tumble recovery in the end zone and on a 45-yard run by Johnson. This win gave Victory a I2-ll edge in the W. I.- Victory series and the city championship. At the annual football banquet staged by the Mothers' Club, letters were awarded to seniors: Bob Blair, Dick Corsini, Bob Graeber, Bob Laytield, Philip Mclntyre, Philip Niceworner, Nick Romano, Junior Suan, Gene Wallace, Sam Gorgonia, John Casto,1Richard Hinkle, Eugene Newell, Jack Stickman, and Ralph Wilson, and under- ROMANO WILSON NEWELL Reserve Basketball - 1948 After dropping the initial game of the season to Buckhannon, the Washington Irving Reserves made a comeback to take eleven out of the fourteen games on the schedule. Coached by Earle Orme, the Hilltop Quintet was headed by Captain Ted Yates. ln addition to Yates, John Wetzel and Tom Carnes showed up well in the scoring column. Lettermen for the year were Captain Ted Yates, John Wetzel, Tom Carnes, Dana Miller, Dick Woodley, Jack Swisher, Chauncy Rush, Andy Rodgers, Kenny Moore, Stanley Jeronko, Bill Thomas, and John Vespoint.

Hite's basketeers were responsible for the most successful Hilltop season in recent years. Coach Hite was able to clear the bench in the first three games on the schedule, as the Lee Streeters ran over Buckhannon 67-l8, Grafton 62-46, and Shinnston 7O-43f After a hectic battle with East Fairmont, the Hilltoppers came out on the long end of a 39-35 count. ln this game W.l.'s high-scoring center, Bob Graeber, was limited to eight points. Previously Bob had averaged twenty points per game. Pressed by a hard fighting Roosevelt-Wilson quintet, the Hitemen won their fifth straight, 4l-32. A late starting Elkins five came within an eyelash of toppling W.l. from the ranks of the undefeated, as the Hilltoppers won 49-47 in a thrilling overtime battle. Bob Graeber, scoring twenty points, assured the home team of victory by scoring four markers in the overtime. George Riley, playing superb ball, won for him- self the forward position opposite Casto for the remainder of the season. Morgantown handed the Hitemen their first defeat, 45-4l, at the University city. After trailing throughout, the Blue and Red came to life in the final five minutes to overcome an eight-point W. l. advantage. A midseason slump hit the boys at this point, as they lost their second straight tilt to Victory 42-40. The score was tied six times in the last period. Bob Blair tallied five straight markers to tie the score at 40-all only to see Victory's Oliverio sink the winning goal with less than ten seconds remaining. The Hilltoppers finally snapped their losing streak, and once again showed early season form in swamping Shinnston 47-3l and Graf- ton 74-44. W.l. next traveled to Elkins to face another battle similar to that of the first game. Lead- ing 48-4O with three minutes remaining, the Hitemen resorted to freezing the ball and were almost frozen themselves. The final score: W.l. 48, Elkins 47. Starting slowly, the Hilltoppers were forced to overcome an early 6-O R.W. lead. W.l. had worked up a seven-point advantage by the third period and maintained this to win, 4l-34. The Blue and Gold downed a much improved Buckhannon five by ci 47-39 margin in a game much more exciting than the earlier contest which the Hilltoppers won by a forty-nine-point decision. ln the next contest the Hite-coached quintet nge up for their first loss by drubbing Mor- gantown 59-5l. Bob Layfield, connecting with Deem Riley Blair his first five shots, led the scoring with twenty- five points. The Hitemen lost the Big Nine champion- ship in the next game to East Fairmont as the Bees defeated them 48-37. ln this game, the team missed Riley and Layfield who, because of illness, were able to play for only part of the game. ln the final standings, W.l. had an ll-3 record for 786, while East Side held an .8OO percentage on an 8-2 record. After leading by twelve points through most of the first half, W.l. had to go some in the final two periods to defeat Victory 39-37 in the last regular season game. John Casto was named on the All-Big Nine Conference team and was given honorable mention in the Monongahela Valley five. Bob Graeber and Bob Layfield received honorable mention on the Big Nine Team. ln the Section 6 tourney, W.l. downed Shinnston for the third time of the season, 52- 46. The Hilltoppers went on to defeat Bristol 65-38 for the Section 6 title. Casto, Riley, and Graeber made the All-Sectional team. W.l. also had a comparatively easy time in the Region 2 tournament, first trouncing Doddridge, 67-30. The Lee Streeters next proved their definite superiority over Victory by downing that group 52-37 for the Region 2 title and the right to play in the state tourna- ment for the second straight year. John Casto and Bob Graeber again won berths on the Regional team. ln Morgantown W.l. first met a tall quintet from Ridgeley in the eastern panhandle, de- feating them 49-45 after a tough fight all the way. Tired from the previous evening's battle, the Hilltoppers ran up against Huntington East in the semi-finals, losing 43-4l. In a hard-fought game the Hitemen, behind ten points with less thannthree minutes remaining, let loose with all their fury but could not quite Catch the Highlanders, who were beaten in the finals by Princeton. W.l, was aided through the tourney by such capable reserves as Sam Wetzel, Sunny Nicewarner, and Paul Morris. Captain Johnny Casto again gathered the laurels by earning a position on the All-State Tournament team. Casto really showed his value to the Hill- toppers when he was placed on the second All-State team. Bob Graeber and Bob Layfield received honorable mention. The lettermen were: Casto, Riley, Graeber, Blair, Layfield, Wetzel, Nicewarner, Wallace, Larimer, Morris, Townsend, and Stoy. The manager was Joe Deem, and the head cheer- leader was Sue Ann Coffman.

J Class History On that first September fifth, l944, as we toiled up the hill, we thought it should more appropriately be named the mountain. To us, the supreme achievement seemed to be to become a senior. Imagine! There were people who knew where all the rooms werel Yet it was wonderful to feel that we were a part of a great machine feven though the front steps were forbidden territory.l Naturally football and basketball occu- pied part of our busy little lives. With Sue Anne Coffman selected as cheerleader, we were well represented at all the games. Perhaps the most memorable day of our freshman year was May 8, l945, the surrender of Germany. ln chapel Taps was played, and the names of our lost boys were read. Surely we have something for which to livel The ,following September we, as proud sophomores, warmly welcomed the fresh- man to W. l., and haughtily disregarded the senior's disapproving looks when we invaded the front steps. Then the plague descended upon us- measlesl For weeks the classrooms were dotted fso were well with vacant chairs. As busy and dignified juniors, we worked away on our stationery sales, scraping in 5670, which has yet to be toppedl The officers who led us through a suc- cessful year were Fred Wilson, president, Patty Gochenour, vice-president, Helen Mc- Court, secretary, and Chuck Roberts, treas- urer. Though we didn't win, it was lots of fun going to Parkersburg-in the rain, natural- ly. The members of 'A' Choir paid another visit to this fair city on March 26. When Senior Chapel was held, we said fairwell to many dear friends. As we moved into the senior section we also moved into much responsibility. Then there was the junior-senior prom, that of which we had always dreamed now became a reality-a glorious ending for a wonderful year. Class Histor Oh yes, don't forget chemistryl I have a chemistry teacher I shall not pass He maketh me to show my ignorance Before the whole class, He giveth me more than I can Learn, he Iowereth my grade. Yea, though l walk through the Valley of knowledge, I learn not. He fireth questions at me In the presence of my classmates, He annointed my head with problems, My eye runneth over. Surely atoms and molecules Shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell in the chemistry lab forever. Need we say more of our junior year? Fred Wilson popped up again as presi- dent, Patty Showalter, vice-president, Helen Cunningham apd Barbara Gainer, secre- taries, Sam Wetzel and Chuck Roberts, treasurers. As seniors, we naturally topped all pre- vious sales with Sl,37O, net profit. You could hear all the little wheels grind- ing away as ten seniors took the Pepsi Cola Exam on November 22, Jack Dodds being the only one to come out on top. With December came the skating party. The cleaners sure had a booming business the following week. Christmas with all its dances and parties made it hard to get back to the old grind and exams. We kept our sponsors, Miss Williams and Mr. Gudekunst, busy measuring us for for ring, caps and gowns, etc. Then there was the week when few people got their lessons. Don't you know that you might ruin that shine on your senior ring if you wiggled your little finger? The last part of our year was crammed full of so much fun and work-Hi-Y, Be Square, chapel, senior party, skip day, Prom night, annual sermon, and then, what we had been working for for four years- Commencement. Some of us will work, some will go to college, but one and all will agree that these four years have become a part of us that we can never quite forget. Wlr. C u bbon Miss Custer Class Will VVe, the honorable and dignified class of l948, of Washington Irving High School, of the city of Clarksburg, in the county of Harrison, and state of West Virginia, con- sidering the uncertainty of this mortal life, and being of sound mind and memory, blessed be our patient and diligent faculty for the same, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, to be carried out by our Executor, Mr. K. E. Cubbon, in manner and form following, to-wit: FIRST: We direct that funeral charges, the expense of advertising our estate, and all our just debts be paid promptly. SECOND: As we have no desire to take all our precious possessions with us, we will distribute them among the lesser beings, who will exist after our departure. This is for value already received. THIRD: To our beloved faculty, who have heaped tender attention forcibly upon us during the past four years, having at this moment a feeling of momentary generosity, we give and bequeath our sincerest appre- ciation in the hope that they will enjoy many more years of the riches of life. ioounne I b g uunarsr FOURTH: To the Juniors we give our abundance of theoretical and practical knowledge. We also leave our entire stable. You will find that some of the ponies are a little worn and tattered from constant use, however, you will be able to salvage a few A's from the wrecks. You are justly entitled to these as they are rightfully yours, and you will find them useful in your next and final year at Washington lrving. We caution you to guard this stable closely, so that you may be as generous with the class of l95O. SIXTH: To the Sophomore Class, we leave a goodly portion of our dignity and a few words of sound advice. We admonish you to wear with grace, but with austerity, this dignity which you so rightly deserve. We also leave you the envious position of upper classmen with the feeling that you will use it only to your own advantage, knowing full well that you are not of a selfish disposition. SEVENTH1 To the Freshman Class, we leave some of our most highly valued privileges, namely, the right to enjoy the use of the front steps, the right to raise your head and look down on the incoming freshman class, and the privilege of mov- ing downstairs in chapel. In witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our name this 25th day of May in the year of our Lord, l948. W. l. Class of l9-18 We, whose names are hereunto sub- scribed, do hereby certify that Washington Irving Class of l948, the testators, sub- scribed their name to this instrument in our presence and in the presence of each of us, and declared at the same time in our presence and hearing that this instru- ment was their last will and testament, and we at their request sign our names here- with in their presence as attesting witnesses.

Tuesday, December 2, 1947 Saw the new front curtains in the audi- torium for the first time. We're sure proud of them. Monday, December 8, 1947 Surprise! Our rings fit. Showing them proudly to everyone, we got a little sad, 'cause it rather makes things final. Wednesday, December 10, 1947 What happened today? We don't know, do you? Tuesday, December 16, 1947 Cadman Girls, under the direction of Joanne Linger, their president, served tea to their mothers and the faculty in the gaily decorated auditorium, Wednesday, December 17, 1947 Stood in line about an hour to see Henry V , it was worth it, though, especially since we had tests on it the next day. Thursday, December 18, 1947 Something new has been added. We sang Christmas carols in the auditorium all morning under the direction of Mr. Giauque. Now we've really got the Christmas Spirit. Friday, December 19, 1947 The beauty of The Lady of the Cross- roads , the Christmas chapel program, moved many of us to tears. We left the auditorium singing Silent Night, and certainly in the mood for a wonderful vacation. Wednesday, December 24, 1947 Resolved-to do next year's Christmas shopping in August.

Pin a rose on Patty Showalter- she got a merit card from Gus. And while we're on the subject of brains, Jack Dodds made a quick change from Coke to Pepsi this year. And Barbara Gainer is the gal with 27A's and IB. Why doesn't someone tell Brownie to Shut the door, Richard ? lt's so-o-o-o original. We feel sure that Patty Gochenour could sell the Brooklyn Bridge without any trouble and that Jim Bob Allman will lead the field in dairy farming. Bea Vanno is almost ' ' an aomi Hardman is too silent for words. On introducing the New Look Carmen Rqmgh really got a new one. Josephine Muffler? She's crazy. Dorothy Morris? She's crazy too! Joan Everett? She'll always be crazy. Char- lotte Cowgill, Marjie Davis, Alberta Mae Ball, and Dolores Degler certainly do enjoy skating. They showed their talents at the Senior skat- ing party. Flora Chiado comes to school from Hill Street to the Hilltop. Did you know that: Eleanor and Virginia Martin are sisters? Sue Anne Coffman and Ruth Ann Griffin are cousins, and that an- other of their cousins married Mr. Campbell? Alta Joan Groghan went to R-W? Salvatore was Sammy Clement's name: Josephine Pres- seau has twin sisters? that Jeanne Duffield's favorite subject is Spanish?, that Jeanne Cooper is usually the last one to English class? and that Cowboy Chorpening likes the ladies? Did you ever notice: Elizabeth Surock's long fingernails? Joretta Cochran's dry sense of rumor ? How fast Mildred Utt talks? Mike Caruso's smile? How quiet Clifford Cork is in class? How earnest Lewis Currey is? That Bob Drummond is the strong, silent type? How sweet and nice Patty McCabe and Janet Means are? How thoughtful Marjorie Morri- son and Katie Fiora are? That Marijo Kin- kade, Diana LaDue, and Dick Hinkle spend all their time at Maple Lake? Maribelle Lemon's pretty eyes and Rose Ellen Goot's pretty hair? Barbara Barton's ban s? How carefully Joanne Inger p ans a er actions? Did you ever see: Betty Golden without her Studebaker? Mary Jane Gaskins without her glasses? Ruthie Davisson without a boy friend? Nancy Crane plays the drums? Ada Bunnell, Ella Jeanne White, and Winnie May when they weren't together? Patty Bickers whenmshge, didn't look nice? Lucille Bonasso when she wasn't smiling? Frances Longenette without her sister? or anyone make friends more quickly than Kathy Frum did? In our crystal ball we see: Tom Gensel well established in his musical career, Ronald Lockbaum proving himself as an engineer, i L Y Y Aww F 6 N. X P I i L Robert Strosnider taking Portia's place as a lawyer, and Jim Switzer as Thomas O. War- field ll, John Thomas M.D. and Robert Blair LLD. may realize their dreams in medicine and law.

Harold chemical reaction took Bauer doesn't choke . . . l hope this one Helmick vows, One to buy a car that Boram . . . What place in that one?

Jimmy Welch . . . Now, Mr. Duckworth . . . Famous last words: Tad Timberlake . . . Mr. Gudekunst, would you explain that one again, please? Betty Ann Beverlin certainly believes in the good neighbor policy between W.l. and Vic- tory. Chuck Roberts is one of the treasurers of the senior class. Sue Ann Coffman did all right leading cheers. She even got the award for the best girl cheerleader in the Regional Tournament. Why don't Eddie Jenkins, Patsy Imperial, Dave Johnson, Mike Minutelli, and John Lowther form a Rugby team so they can play Homer Kramer, Jimmy Morgan, Guy Torchia, Frank Panaia, and Eugene Newell? Charles Nay and Ross Reger will be glad to coach them. Referee-Don Westfall. Mutt and Jeff: Lee Harbert and Nicky Romano. M and M's: Bob Martin and Pete Mascara. Double W's: Bill Whisner and Waldeck. The wise man with the friendly smile- Jack Tribett. The record-collector, Nick Nacolas. Don Tomblin, that gentle gknightlvis sure to succeedjvn anything: W.l. was the proud sectional and regional title winners, with the team certainly being on the ball in more ways than one. Johnny Casto who was named on the second all State team captained our team through its most successful season. Bob My-basket-making was-just-luck Graeber, had quite the way with the women. The tallest member of the team was Sammy Wetzel, everybody's pal. The mighty hunter of the class of '48, George Riley, ended the season as one of our out- standing players. Sonny Nicewarner played ,,. a bang-up game in our first defeat over Victory. The Wilsons, President Freddy and Hand- some Ralph, were the owners of the most notorious cars C?J in our class, while Blackie showed them all up in her super-duper ROLLS-ROYCE. Among the young marrieds we find Mrs. Jimmy Griffith. Gloria laconis and Georgia Samaras stuck together like glue. f 6Ur two i6'xEWy Read band sponsors, Nancy Johnson and Dolores Costello. The artist of our class was Diane Ferry, while EvelyrT'STcmf ley'of'fFeTl5Bg reE'l'WiT'p'lcryed the piano quite well. lf it hadn't been for Turk , W. l. would never have had left-handed chairs. Do you suppose that Tom Long will ever settle down and discover the fourth dimension? Linda Watkins spent all her spare time running around in Cadillacs. Life ambitions: Patty Sturm desires to spend her life cutting up jigsaw puzzles fin Weston perhaps?l, while Joyce Fulk will make a wonderful interior decorator. Peggy Stamm will probably sip her life away in Bland's drinking chocolate cokes, that is. - Pet Peeve Department: Mildred Ann Rymer just can't stand lockers, ditto Barbara Her- man Molle, and Mondays. Hobert Smith just hates to lug that tuba around. Our: Southern beaux, Bob Thomas . . . Where l come from son-men are men, and John Edwards . . .
