Let's give a rah for West Virginia
And let us pledge to her anew,
Others may be black or crimson,
but for us it's Gold and Blue.
Let all our troubles be forgotten,
Let college spirit rule,
We'll join and give our loyal efforts
For the good of our old school.
It's West Virginia, It's West Virginia
The Pride of every Mountaineer.
Come on you old grads, join with us young lads,
It's West Virginia now we cheer!
Now is the time, boys, to make a big noise
No matter what the people say,
For there is naught to fear; the gang's all here,
So hail to West Virginia, Hail.

FRED BLAINE DEEM in half a dozen years has achieved honor and success in the legal profession at Clarksburg, where he is one of the prominent young lawyers.
He comes of an old Wood County family, where the Deems were established in pioneer times by his great- great-grandfather, who came from Pennsylvania and was of German ancestry. The grandfather of the Clarksburg lawyer was Jacob Deem, who died only a few years ago, at the age of ninety-six. The parents of Fred B. Deem are Peter and Letha Viola (Cook) Deem, both natives of Wood County, where they have spent all their lives, the father a successful farmer and stock raiser. Letha Cook's ancestry is English, and her father came to West Virginia from Massachusetts. Fred Blaine Deem is the younger of two sons, his brother, Ralph Lemuel, being a teacher in the schools of Wood County.

He had two years in the literary department of the State University, and then concentrated his studies in the law school, where he was graduated LL. B. in 1913. Admitted to the bar, he practiced two years in association with the prominent law firm of Smith & Jackson at Clarksburg, and since then has been depending upon his own exertions and abilities to achieve his professional success and render service to the enlarged clientage accorded him. He is a member of the Clarksburg City Board of Education, in politics ia a republican, and is unmarried. Mr. Deem is a member of the Baptist Church, is a Knight Templar, thirty-second degree Mason and Shriner, and is affiliated with the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.
