This is my quest—to follow the star no matter how hopeless— no matter how far. to fight for the right without question or pause. to be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause, and I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest, that my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest. and the world will be better for this, that one man scorned and covered with scars, still strove with his last ounce of courage, TO REACH THE UNREACHABI.E STAR!

Sole Agents Community Strives To Give Better Service For the sick, the aged, the very young, the people seeking fun and entertainment, for all people, the city of Clarksburg is forever trying to provide a better place to live. We have modern and efficient hospitals, with plans for building another well under way. A site has been chosen for a new, one-hundred- unit housing complex for the elderly. The YWCA offers a variety of arts and crafts for anyone who wants to enjoy the company of others and learn something at the same time. There are numerous opportunities for the elderly to socialize. These are just a few examples of how the com- munity is striving to make this area a better home for many people. The city of Clarksburg is improv- ing to give its youth a better, modern place to grow up in. The Harrison County Health Department provides free inocula- tions for its citizens. 6 These Senior Citizens enjoy a buffet luncheon at the Center on Ben Street. Square dancing at the YWCA is just one of the many activities available to the adults of the community. A new citizen makes her appearance at a local hospital, assured of excellent care in the nursery. MARY PITAt 7 Distaff Side Excels Having fulfilled their dreams this year, these beaming Hilltoppers have brought honor to their school as well as to themselves. The 1969 Majorette line can boast they're the best, having won the first place trophy in a coun- ty-wide Majorette-a-Rama. Winning a second-place trophy at camp, the Cheerleaders proved the girls on the hill are not limited to county recognition alone. Rewarded for her beauty and personality, this year Sheila McVicker was voted as Homecoming Queen by the members of the senior class. These girls have proven that they have reached their unreachable star. 9 The qualities of a good teacher are friendliness, sym- pathy, benevolence, service, gentleness, and patience. Our band director, Mr. Glenn Goodwin, has displayed all these qualities and more. With his patience and kindness, he has shaped the Hilltopper band into what it is at present—something any student on the hill can be proud of. It is fitting that this yearbook be dedicated to him, since it was our class that he started with at Central. He has been through the good, as well as the bad. times with us. He has helped us get recognition in the state, by the Kaufman's Thanksgiving parade in Pittsburgh, and Fes- tival of the States in Florida. We, the staff of the 1969 Memoirs would like to recognize his work by dedicating this yearbook to him. II 12 £5ku� tyyw W Xvdy-tx � F iSUfl T2aA W � V-tf. Qj.t.Uj. Educators Principal James E. Bennett Assistant Principal Haymond Plaugher Co-operation Keeps The School Running Smoothly Mr. James E. Bennett is completing his second year as principal at WI. Assisting him in his duties is Mr. Haymond Plaugher. Mr. Bennett and Mr. Plaugher were the starting forces behind the RENT-A-HILL- TOPPER project in October. The adminis- tration also issued honor cards to deserving students, had the white intercom phones installed, and made numerous small, but significant improvements around the school. The successful school year can greatly be attributed to these two men and to their fulfillment of demanding responsibilities. 14 Ann Ammons Algebra I; General Math Rene Andre World Geography; Civics; World History He Starts As A Studen Learning And Doing Karen Bond General Math; Geometry; Eng- lish I Karen Bowers Art; English I Margaret Bauld Latin I.

Revision Made In Be Square This year's officers were as follows: Front— Donna Stanley, secretary; Kathy Mayfield, treas- urer; Back—Liz Kyle, president; Diane Wallace, vice-president. After taking the Be Square Pledge at the annual induction banquet last spring, this group of 22 girls worked towards a productive year. Be Square is a Senior honorary organization and is the oldest organi- zation in the school. The girls’ first activity was ushering at last year’s graduation. President Liz Kyle, along with the other officers, revised and shortened the club constitution. Mums were sold for the Homecoming Dance in Sep- tember, and a Halloween party was held for under- privileged children in October. The girls made and sold Valentines to the students. Be Square also helped decorate for a Christmas party the League for Service held for underprivileged children. Also listings of edu- cational TV programs were compiled and distributed. Mrs. Leah Martino, sponsor, added much to the club's success. 62 “Is that all I gel for my money?

Bridge Members Often Get Perturbed To keep in step with Clarksburg’s popular dupli- cate bridge game, the members this year, under the direction of Mrs. Ann Ammons, learned the funda- mentals and etiquette of the game for four players. Bonnie Humberston and Brenda Gaston team up against Pam Brannon and Lee Ann Smith in a game of bridge. Winning a “trick” by playing the highest card of the suit or highest trump card is the main idea of the game. Leading this year’s club were: president. Debby laquinta; vice- president. Andrea Rinker; and secretary-� reasurer. Marchetia Seese. 64 Chess Club officers for this year are president Charles Crayton, secretary Mary Ann Lasko, treasurer John Snider, and vice-presi- dent Ronnie Havem. Checkmate. Concentration Key Idea In Chess Usual or unusual, whatever the make-up of the set, chess teaches one to use skill and plenty of con- centration to think one step ahead of his opponent. Under the supervision of Mrs. Irene Keeley, meet- ings were held to give students a chance to match wits with others. This way enthusiasts are given a chance to develop the finer points of the game.

Second Language Important The main function of French Club is to give students an opportunity to become better acquainted with the French lan- guage, customs, and ways of life. The meet- ings, conducted in French, enable the mem- bers to converse in the native tongue. To be eligible for membership, students must take French II and maintain a “C” average. “But I don’t know any French!” says vice-president Linda Gum to the other officers. Kevin Merchant, secretary-treasurer; and Stan Davisson, president. 78 The Science Club, under the direction of Mr. Paul Heckert, promotes interest to the student in the field of science.

With the training provided from last year's Journalism I course. Becky Smith took over as the edi- tor-in-chief of this year’s HILL- TOP. the voice of the school. The staff worked hard on gath- ering news and views of the school and introduced a subscription sys- tem, by which students acquired their monthly paper delivered to their classroom, at a slight dis- count price. Time, hard work, and ideas for a better paper each issue, typify the HILLTOP staff. A problem in make-up involves several members of the Journalism class.

The HILLTOP’S first girl Sports Editor, Sherry Cole, strug- gles with a football story. 85 Advertising, a vital source of revenue, is prepared by Debbie Freeman. To make this Memoirs the best ever, the staff worked hard in changing and improving some traditional make-up and tried to give the students a yearbook they will be proud of in years to come. With the supervision of Mrs. Genevieve Broughton, editor Nancy Diamond, along with other editors, strived to make each dead- line. A lot of time and worry are involved, and staff members must be capable of taking responsibilities. Memoirs Records Cynthia Pinnell demonstrates a ribbon she made for the Miss Memoirs candidates.

The most unusual class in Washington Irving, consisting of over 100 students, goes on more field trips than any other class and its class hours are exceeded in time only by the hours of practice. The 1968-1969 Hilltopper Band started its classes” a week early as members traveled to Camp Selbyville to prepare for the coming year. Within hours after returning from camp, the band gave its first performance at the Band Spectacular in Fair- mont. Led by drum major Kevin Merchant, the band provided half-time ceremonies at alt home games as well as several away games. Their schedule included many festivals, parades, and band-a-ramas around the state and the Kaufman’s Thanksgiving Parade in Pittsburgh. Because of the Superior rating at the Forest Festival in Elkins, they received an invitation to the Festival of States in St. Petersburg, Rorida, but they postponed the trip until 1970 when the new uniforms will be available. Self-supporting, except for $75 allotted by the Board of Education, the band held a tag day, sold Christmas cards and basketball programs. 91 Band Members Strive For Perfection The saxophone quartet. Bill Oliverio, James White, Cynthia Helper, and Amos Wilkinson, won first place in the Solo and Ensemble Festival at Fairmont.

Greg Williams and Ed McDougal learn how to sew. Who put cinnamon in the eggs? As a means for boys to learn the tricks of home-making, a new course, Boys’ Home Ec., was established. The need for some college boys living off- campus to learn to cook and sew was the motive behind this class. The course included a first semester in sew- ing and various odd jobs while the sec- ond semester was spent learning to cook. Miss Una Jarvis and Mrs. Helen Frashure instructed the boys during this year. C-H-E-E-S-E Driver's Ed students. Jim Winters and Mike Hardman, prepare Learning to change a tire properly is an essential part for their day's instruction with Mr. Fittro. of preparing to drive. Driver's Ed New Course At Wl Driver’s education, a new course at Washington Irving this year, teaches students to be safer drivers. Insurance rates, usually extremely high for teen-age drivers, are low- ered for high school students who complete this course satisfactorily. Coach James Fittro, Dri- ver’s Ed teacher, has in- structed students of the ways and means of driving carefully and lawfully. Watching jay walkers and actually driving were the highlights of the course. 100 Dave Selvig and Janet Savina learn just what makes a car 'tick'. Art Class Develops Creativity Hold still I says Stephen Bokey as he fixes old George's nose. Fingers messy with chalk dust, or hands dripping paint may ap- pear a sloppy way of creating talents, but by such methods improvised by Mrs. Karen Bowers, members from the art class have developed their talents and interest in the field of artistry. Displays of drawings and painting by the students are a product of long and hard effort to bring out the best in creating individuality.

A new cheering aggregation has made its appearance at WI. Called the Phi-Toppers, the all-boy cheering organization is similar to the Phi Bater Kappars at the University. Member- ship is restricted to junior and senior boys. The idea originated at the JV Tourney when a group of WI boys got together and began doing their own cheers, as well as the conventional ones. They were enthusiastic, made a lot of noise, and shouted some very original cheers; so was born the Phi- Toppers. The group received the ap- proval of Principal James Bennett, and they appointed Coach AI Castellana as their sponsor. Being the founders of the organi- zation, seven boys installed themselves as the officers and proceeded to formu- late plans. It was decided that the offi- cial garb should be bath robes. The officers are: Bob Ross, president; Mike Brown, vice-president; Doug Bum- gardner, secretary; Joe Olivito, and Rick Cantarelli, treasurers; and John McCray, sergeant-at-arms.

Capture City Proudly the Hilltoppers come on the field to start a very success- ful season. 126 “Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow The I 968 Hilltoppers proved to football fans all over the state that the long drought of a winning season had ended and a new winning tradition was underway. Not only did they knock loud and hard, but on September 27th they took over leadership in the Big Ten Conference with a smashing 40-0 vic- tory over Lewis County. The Hilltopers were unable to win the coveted championship, but did make a valiant try. They achieved six victories and cinched the City Championship on November 2 with a great win over arch-rival. Victory. They learned the thrill of vic- tory, and how to accept defeat with grace. They gave freely of their time, their energy, and their youth. They were a group of hard working, untiring, determined kids doing their best for our great school.

Rough Play WI versus South Harrison September 6, 1968 WI lost their first game of the season to the South Harrison Hawks. The Hawks turned the trick by using a dipsy-doodle full- back pass play to the quarterback. The play worked three times in as many tries—the last for a 58-yard touchdown. A pass and a running play tallied the Hawks last two touchdowns.

The Hilltoppers defensive unit, which showed up well all evening, was especially effective in the the second half. They were paced by hard hitting co-captains, Roger Brady and Joe Olivito. WI showed it meant business when it was backed to its own three- yard line and started to march. The Hilltoppers kept the momentum going, and Marshall An- gotti finally carried the pigskin over on a quar- terback sneak in the second quarter. Fullback Gail Carson accounted for the second WI touchdown in the third period on a one-yard plunge. Koss ran for the extra point to give the Hilltoppers a 13-0 advantage. Olivito set up the fianal TD by scampering 45 yards to the Graf- ton 25. He caught a pass a short time later and Angotti used another two-yard quarterback sneak to go over the goal line.

Olivito capped the drive by going over from the one. Fumbling early in the second quarter, Roger Brady recovered for WI. The Spartans were held scoreless in the second half due to the key punting of Curtis Edwards. Edwards' punts were high enough to enable the WI defenders to get downfield to recover the ball. The game was cinched when Ross hit paydirt with 2:52 remaining and there was an interception by Olivito in the final minute. Defense was a key factor all season. As you can see. these two Victory players saw stars after the WI front four got hold on them. 131 WI versus Lewis County September 27, 1968 The Hilltopper’s stunning 41-0 victory over Lewis County put them into the un- disputed first place in the Big Ten.

Olivito was the big man in this march, accounting for 51 of the 61 yards gained by the Hilltoppers. A pass interception set up the other WI touchdown at the BU 22. Olivito car- ried over from the one. Ross was successful in his run for the extra point. This gave WI a 13-6 halftime lead. BU’s rally in the second half tied the game 13-13.

Journalism students prepare for yearbook deliveries. Hey. my name’s not Sam! First Comes The Class of 1969 worked hard this year to make their last year ‘on the hill' a success and one to be remembered. The Journalism Class proved their talent when they published one of the finest yearbooks ever. The theme being “To Reach The Unreachable Star.” was surely reached by them. Receiving caps and gowns was a sad, but routine, procedure for all seniors. Class colors were gold and blue thisyear and tradition was broken when the girls were permitted to wear gold gowns for graduation. Work didn’t monopolize the entire year. One of the highlights of the social activities was the Senior Party. The Sen- ior Executive Committee carried out the theme. “Psyche '69” to its fullest, by contracting ‘Joey and the House of Bourbon.’ 1969 was a hard-working, ex- citing. year. Many memories will be held by the '69 graduates. You wouldn't believe the way those kids danced. laughed Mr. Limpert. Business, Then Pleasure Popeye ate a lot of spinach to do all that dancing! Roberta and Price do some soul struttin'. Seniors Display Theatrical Talents On April 18th a full house was on hand for the senior class production of “The Teahouse of the August Moon.” Under the direction of Miss Dorothy Underwood, and assistant directors Becky Smith and Sally Pulice, all was made ready for the big night. Nerves were the order of the day for all involved: but as the curtain fell, sighs of relief and tears of joy were evident back- stage. The play, complete with music and choreography, was hailed by many on- lookers as the best high school production they had ever attended. Lotus Blossom tries desperately to dress Fisby in the typ- ical Okinawan manner. Rick Squires and Tom Reed give the flats that final coat of paint.

Prom Ends Social Year A jubilant Queen Kathy is crowned by Junior Class President Mike Ervin. The brilliance and the beauty of an Oriental world mingled with the rhythmic sounds of the “Bobby Goots Quartet” set the scene for the Junior-Senior Prom held May 29, at the Up- towner Inn. All waited expectantly as the 1969 Prom Queen Kathy Mayfield and King. Kevin Mer- chant were announced. The Junior Executive Committee will long remember the work that was necessary for the success of our “Oriental Gardens,” but, as the evening came to an end, they must have surely felt that all their efforts were worthwhile. We danced all night at the festivities to the Soul System and the Power. Curls, curls, and more curls! Blood, Sweat, And Tears During Honors Assembly, the Senior A-Choir members sing farewell the Class of '69. Valedictorian Liz Kyle gives her Farewell Address to fellow members of her class.

Kevin Merchant was selected for the Veterans of Foreign Wars Citizenship award. He was also awarded honorable mention on the “Coach and Athlete” prep All-American team by the Sunkist Company. Class With Midas Touch Enjoys Annual Banquet For the last time, the seniors of 1969 dined to- gether at their class dinner May 21 at Westmin- ister Hall. Highlights of the evening included remarks by our sponsor, Mr. Robert Schneider, our Principal. Mr. James Bennett, and our guest speaker, Mr. Daniel McCarthy. Because we brought so many honors and accomplishments to the school. Principal Bennett recognized our class as being The Class With the Midas Touch.” For this we will long remember the dinner as being a highlight of our senior activi- ties. Senior officers and advisors greet a seemingly endless line of class members. Hey, how about seconds? Daniel McCarthy, newly elected County Commission- er. delivers the address at the senior banquet. Throughout the past five years the journalism department has been honored to have a wonderful instructor, Mrs. Genevieve Broughton. Now because of her need to teach in another field. Mrs. Broughton will relinquish this time-consuming, but worthwhile position. For this the 1969 Mem- oirs staff wishes to pay special trib- ute to her. The road for Mrs. B. has been a long and sometimes weary one. but deep down in her heart we know that she will always have fond memories of all her journal- ism classes and especially ours. Mrs. Broughton, we, the 1969 Memoirs staff, wish you the best of luck always and thank you for helping us produce one of the fin- est yearbooks ever, the 1969 Mem- oirs. Mrs. B. we will miss you. Genevieve Broughton She Strived To Inspire Senior Chorus presented a few selections during commencement ex- ercises. Dr. Stanley Ikenberry. Dean of the College of Human Resources and Education. West Virginia University, was speaker for commencement. Graduation Leaves Many Memories Principal James Bennett awards Robert Davis his diploma. Commencement exercises were held Tuesday. June 10, 1969 in the WI Auditorium. Graduating were 161 seniors. The Senior Processional, “Pomp and Circumstance,” was played by Kathy Mayfield. Senior Chorus, directed by Mrs. Judy Likins, sang “America. Our Heritage.” The speaker for the evening was Dr. Stan- ley O. Ikenberry, whose speech was “Forward Together.” Diplomas were then presented by Principal James E. Bennett. Senior Chorus presented an- other selection “One God. and the seniors were dismissed. Jeff Cottrill takes final steps as a senior at Washington Irving. Behind Eric Curtis carefully reads his hard-earned diploma. Diplomas in hand, the seniors depart as alumni. There was much excitement in the assigned rooms as students got prepared to graduate. Memories . . . Memories . . . Memories For one-hundred-sixty-one students. Tuesday, June 10. 1969 was the end of a wonderful life. The life as a Washington Irving Hilltopper. Throughout four years the Class of ’69 grew mentally as well as physically. They struggled through many classes together, outstanding victories, de- feats, tears of joy. as well as tears of sad- ness. They will have many memories of their years ‘on the hill.' We hope that both the yearbook and supplement will tend to restore these memories as years go by. And as these school days come to an end. may we present you the challenge to carry for- ward into your life, the vows of knights and accept the responsibilities which life will present to you in the near future. The 1969 Memoirs Staff This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. It is rather the end of the be- ginning. - WINSTON CHURCHILL tpc IL.A 1.
