SNAPSHOTS SNAPSHOTS SNAPSHOTS STUDENT GOVERNMENT 1 Student Government on the Marshall campus is the name given to a number of institutions which carry on or direct certain extra-curricular activities of the student body. The Student Government has very broad powers, including the power to make rules and regulations in all matters of student activity not strictly academic, subject, of course, to the final authority of the college administration. Student Government was inaugurated on the Marshall campus in 1926. Since that time, there has been a consistant evolution in its importance and a growing complexity in its structure and functions. There hove been several revisions of its basic nature, including a number of constitutional changes. Today it carries on a number of routine activities, certain other activities of a more experimental nature, and finally, such activities as may be delegated or suggested to it by the college administration. It exercises control over student social functions, being itself in charge of running the Student Mixes. These mixes serve two purposes: they ore both a general social function in which all students may participate, and a source of revenue to the Student Government. The Government carries forth certain projects which the student body deems to lie worthwhile. It also provides for the actual governing of the students. maintain;ng its own court and deportment of prosecution. The Government appropriates funds for the carrying on of certain activities which could not otherwise be performed. A final function of the Government is the performance of its own structural functions: that is. the carrying on of elections, the making of rules for the governing of its own meetings, and the appointing of various subordinate officers and committees. The legislative organ of the government is the Student Council which is composed of twenty members. Three members are elected by the incoming freshman class in the fall. All others regularly elected are chosen in the soring election in which the out-going freshman class elects four, one to serve for two years: the out-going sophomore class elects three, two to serve for two years: the out-going junior class elects three. The student who gets the second highest vote for student president becomes the vice-president having a seat and a vote on the Student Council. Each cf the three dormitory presidents has a seat and vote on the Student Council. When vacancies occur on the Council, they are filled by the president of the class in which the vacancy occurs, subject to ratification by the Student Council by a two-thirds vote. The Student Council has numerous powers. It has the power to pass general regulations applying to the whole student body: the power to raise money and to expend thit money: the power to create and fill subordinate governmental positions. It has the power to fill vacancies in the offices of class presidents. On the whole, it has a broad grant of power to engage in practically any activity not specifically forbidden to it by the college administration or by the Constitution of the student body. The executive department of the government is headed by the president of the student body. The president of the Student Council, leader, nority John Sinnett. put a motion before the chair.

He appoints officers on committees, as provided by the Constitution, subject to the ratification of the Council. He acts as spokesman for the student body on all official occasions. The student pres’dent. and the entire executive department, have such additional powers as the Council may see fit to delegate to them. The part of the government known as the executive contains a number of offices related to each other in varying proportions. Over certain of the executive officers, the president has no authority, the officers in question being responsible solely to the Student Council, or in some cases, to the student body. One division of the department is known as the Department of Prosecution. This division is a combination of a legal staff, a police department, and an investigating board. It represents the Council before the Student Court; it prosecutes students guilty of acts contrary to the best college interests; it prosecutes violators of Council acts; and finally, it conducts investigations into the propriety and the legality of the acts of the other departments and divisions of the government. It is headed by a Student-Attorney who is aided by ten assistants appointed bv him. Another division of the executive department is the division of finance. The officer representing this division is the Business-Manager of the student body. He has comolete authority over all financial matters of the Student Government, being subject only to the authority of the Student Council itself. Actual custody of the governmental funds rests in the hands of the Treasurer of the Council. Another part of the executive department consists of the various class presidents with the subordinate class officers. These are elected by the classes themselves and responsible only to the students composing those classes. The judicial department of the government is the Student Court. This Court is made up of three faculty members, appointed by the college administration, and four students, appointed by the student president and ratified by the Council. It tries cases and renders decisions concerning all matter brought before it. It also judges the constitutionality of Council acts. Cases may be brought before it by any member of the student body or by a member of the faculty. In case involving the Student Council, the government is represented by the Department of Prosecution. An interesting department of the government is the Social Activities Committee. This committee is made up of five students appointed by the Student Council and five faculty members appointed by the college administration. This committee must give positive approval to any dance, party, or other campus social function before that function can take place. Student Government, on the whole, has. for the past several years, achieved a rapidly increasing success. It is engaged in a wider field of activities than formerly and all signs indicate that its scope will widen as more years come and go. Many of its most important institutions are recent additions. And with the increase in the scope of its powers and duties, has come an increase in student interest. Of course, a democratic government of almost any type presupposes certain kinds of political activity. The campus has two well-defined political groups, one representing the fraternities and sororities and the other representing the independent students. Party lines are not always strictly adhered to. but essentially the conflict is between these two factions. For the past two years the independent faction has been is possession of the majority of campus offices. At the left, a new function of Student Government which was inaugurated this year was the Book Exchange, lurid in the Student Union check room, through which students could exchange text books thus reducing the cost of buying new or used texts elsewhere. A total of S1300 worth of books were exchanged between students with an approximate accumulated saving of S400. At the right, another feature of Student Government was this scene of the early fall College broadcast series of campus interviews with Gordon Kinney and Bob Drexler questioning the various students as they pass by on the south campus — ■� — STUDENT COURT Left.

PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL Top, Mary Preston, president. Sigma Sigma Sigma; bottom. Betty Parrish.secretary, Theta Rho. In Union There Is Strength”, and to all appearances that is the principle behind the Pan-Hellenic Council, other than that of regulation. All organizations must be regulated. The United States has the Congress. England has her Parliament. Germany had the Reichstag, and Marshall sororities have the Pan-Hellenic Council. Founded in 1927 through the efforts of its first sponsor. Miss Amanda Lee Beaumont, the council is sponsored now by Miss Lee Fairchild Bacon, dean of women, in whose office the council holds its meetings. Its purpose is two-fold “to regulate matters pertaining to local pan-hellenic life .......and to encourage all chapters to take an active interest in all school and college activities for the common good of all.” Activities sponsored by the council include many of the most important events on the college calendar. Perhaps the Pan-Hellenic social activity most long awaited is the annual Christmas Ball, a gala occasion indeed with all the seasonal requisites— pine boughs, mistletoe, red ribbons in enormous festive bows, gaily decorated Christmas trees with subdued lights, and the soft glow of the mellow candles so closely connected with the holiday spirit. Another Pan-Hellenic ball that is important in an entirely different manner is the annual spring ball that is held for the purpose of raising money for the Pan-Hellenic Scholarship fund which is awarded each year to a worthy, second-semester graduating senior on the basis of need and scholastic standing. This year two senior women benefited through the fund, enabling them to complete their education. Each year, at the beginning of the fall semester, the Pan-Hellenic Council sponsors a freshman reception in the form of a tea. given at the Student Union for all freshmen women, which serves as a sort of preliminary rush party for all the sororities. It is here that the “Young Hopefuls” for sorority membership are sized up. sorted out and the cream of the crop is selected for rush parties by the various individual sororities. During the celebration of Marshall’s One Hundredth Birthday in 1937 the Pan-Hellenic Council made the college a gift of the shaft or pedestal for the bust of John Marshall. Also a donation from the Council is the decoration in the women’s lounge of the Student Union consisting of several framed flower prints, Iomps. and two circular mirrors for the powder table. Top.

To encourage participation in the intramural sports program, the Council gives recognition to winners in the various tournaments. The Council attempts to raise academic standing of the fraternities by giving to the fraternity having the highest scholastic average a Scholarship Trophy. In the way of social work, each year the Council donates a fund to chanty organizations for helping underprivileged children.

The Party itself has no fixed membership, being composed theoretically of all non-fratemity and non-sorority students in the college. The Caucus directs the Party's policies and activities, both in regard to political campaigns and in regard to the Party's role in the actual functioning of the student government. The Caucus' origin was simultaneous with that of the Party itself. The Caucus was designed as a group to lead in organizing the independent students on the campus and in establishing principles for the new party to follow. The first recorded meeting of the Caucus was March 1, 1937. In 1939, the Independent Party nominated Robert Early for the student presidency. In this election Early was elected by a large majority of votes. The Party, at the same time, won a decisive majority in Council scats. At the present time, the Independent Progressive Party holds a 13 to 7 majority on the Council. Party nominees for president of the student body are chosen at annual conventions in which all independent students are eligible to participate, each having one vote. The conventions are usually held in the latter part of April. They are conducted along the same plan as national political conventions. The Caucus has been very successful in its program of organization. From 1936. at which time there were no independent students on the Council, until the present, non-fraternity and non-sorority students have gradually gained more and more power in general campus affairs. At the present time there are no less than thirty independent students hold important posts in the Student Government set-up. At the beginning of the Party's history, the Caucus set forth a five-point general statement of policy. These general policies do not deal with specific plans, but serve as a standard for determining the Party's position on particular issues. The five points are as follows: 1. The Party seeks for the greatest possible influence for independent students in the conduct of student affairs. 2. The Party favors the selection of officers of the Student Government on the basis of capability rather than personal popularity. 3. The Party acts to achieve honesty both in the conduct of elections and in the management of the government. (Specific examples of party activity in this field are: its demand for the elimination of multiple voting, its program for the abolition of graft from the government, and its insistence upon a clear and definite system of law.) 4. The Party favors emphasis upon the administrative, as opposed to the purely legislative and political, functions of Student Government. 5. The Party favors the broadening of the scope of activity and the power of Student Government. It has constantly carried on a campaign to grant to the students a greater share in determining how their college lives are to be regulated. It has also attempted, by every possible means, to inaugurate new activities for the Student Government to engage in—to find new fields in which the Student Government may be of actual service to the entire student body. Membership in the Independent Party is open to all independent students. Membership in the caucus is limited to about thirty or forty students who represent various groups and sections of the independent students on the campus. To become a Caucus member one must apply for membership and be approved by the Caucus. The Caucus has four officers: a chairman, assistant-chairman a secretary, and a treasurer. All Caucus members have a equal vote in the meetings, except the chairman who may vote only in case of tie. The Caucus has no constitution: its meetings arc governed by established rules of parliamentary law. All questions are decided by a simple majority of those present and voting. A majority of the total membership constitutes a quorum. A view of a heated discussion in a meeting of the Independent Progressive caucus where party policy is decided.

Back in 1922 when sororities were not considered so matter-of-factly on the campus, fourteen women with an ideal and interest in common. formed the nucleus of the organization which has grown steadily. Miss Lucy Prichard was the original sponsor of the group, which had as its basic requir-ment an academic average of ''B besides suitability to group. Several years later after Pan-Hcllcnic rules were formed, the average was set in accordance with those rules. Miss Charlotte Berryman has acted as advisor of the organization for the past nine years. The chapter's house is a large brick home excellently equipped to house fifteen women in addition to the house mother. Theta Rho was set up, organized, as a local social sorority, with the goal and ideal of becoming associated with a national social sorority in the future. Toward this goal the members have continually bent their individual and organized efforts. Coeds from the Theta Rho house are active in almostyevery phase of campus life. College Theatre has claimed members for leads in two of its productions this year. For two consecutive years, there have been three representatives from the sorority chosen for the coveted position of Victory Queen attendants during the annual Thanksgiving celebration. Social activities of the group arc varied. During the Homecoming sclebration. house members had as their guests the Victory Queen and her attendants from Toledo university. Besides Founders’ Day, which is celebrated each year, many informal as well as formal entertainments are planned. This year on November 17, an informal party was given at St. Clouds’ Commons. The winter formal was held at the Huntington Woman’s Club house January 13 with the decorations attuned to the Sweet hoati Ball motif. Large red hearts were used in decorating the hall, while at one end of the ballroom, a large heart served as the entrance for dances taking pert in the grand march. Each £ear at Christmas time, the sorority entertains a group of needy children with a tree, presents and a dinner. The party this year was held on December 18 for about 20 children. Following the children’s party, members and pledges exchanged gifts. Several informal parties preceded the spring formal held late in the season. The sorority’s colors are gold and purple, a royal combination which exemplifies the standards which members of Theta Rho have set for themselves. They aim toward good scholarship, and attempt to develop whole-hearted cooperation with the ideals of the college for student life; to serve the college community; and to maintain a fine social standing. Sports are not neglected in the members’ activities. Although not always coming out on top, Theta Rho has always entered a team in the intramural activities of the physical education department, enjoying basketball, volleyball, bowling, and the other tournament sports. The official seal of the chapter are the Greek letter attached to a crescent. An active alumac chapter of the sorority is of great assistance to the active chapter throughout the year. Theta Rho members come from many scattered parts of the country— New York, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and many other states.

Founded June 3, 1923, this organization, in its seventeenth year of existence, boasts an active roll of twenty-nine actives, with its pledges numbering twenty-four. HP Pi Kappa Sigma sorority was founded with 13 charter members November 17, 1894. at Michigan State Normal College, Upselanti. Michigan. New chapters were established and the national organization founded with central offices in Cincinnati, Ohio. There are now 27 chapters. Omicron chapter at Marshall was installed June 3. 1923, with 15 charter members. The sorority colors are turquoise blue and gold, and the flowers are jonquils and forget-me-nots. The sorority District Three Convention was held in Huntington, in October, 1939 for one weekend. An extensive program was carried out with a model pledging and a model initiation, a banquet, a dinner and an alumnae tea at one of the downtown hotels. The grand president from Cincinnati was the chief speaker. District 3 is composed of chapters from Virginia, Florida and West Virginia. The sorority obtained a new chapter house this year at 1715 Fifth avenue. Six active members live at the house with Miss Hila Richardson ns the housemother. The house is the scene of many social gatherings including openhouses which the sorority held for all the fraternities on the campus, faculty receptions, dinners, slumber parties and other informal gatherings. Other social funtions of Cmicron chaptor include a winter formal, January 16, and a spring formal, May 17, two informal dances, luncheons and banquets, and teas. The chapter has participated in numerous campus activities embracing Homecoming house and float decorations, radio broadcasts and such sports as volleyball, basketball, and bowling. Pi Kappa Sigma members hold many importont campus offices. Helen Camp, president of the sorority, is also president of the Junior class and assistant business manager of the annual.

The purpose of the organization was to promote sisterhood within the group, to promote campus interests and activities, and to set higher standards in the teaching profession. Today there are thirty-nine active members and four pledges. The national chapter of Sigma Sigma Sigma was founded on April 20. 1898, at Farmville State Teachers college, Farmville. Virginia. The eight founders wanted an organization stronger than a club to hold them together and patterned the new sorority after the fraternities in the school. After its formation Sigma Sigma Sigma spread rapidly through the South and from there to schools all over the country. In 1911 it became an educational sorority and was limited to teachers’ college campuses. A skull and cross-bones on an indented triangle of black and gold make up the pin of Cigma Sigma Sigma. The flower is the violet; the jewel, the pearl; and the colors, royal purple and white. Sigma Sigma Sigma is governed by a national council and standing committees. Every three years a national convention assembles to discuss problems of the chapters and make plans for the future. The Triangle, national magazine is published quarterly. Mrs. George Lyons, of the heme economics department, recently was chosen faculty sponsor, filling the vacancy left by Miss Attarah Blackwood.

Each year the actives hold two formal and two informal parties, and a faculty reception. The theme for the winter formal was a Champaftno Waltz at the Student Union. In tho spring, a dinner-dance was given at the Guyan Country Club. Back in 1922, the charter members gave a Saturday morning hike as their first rush party. From this get-together Psi chapter's rush parties have evolved. This year a tea at the home of Mrs. George I. Neal, patroness of the sorority, opened rush week. The second party was a “hobo” picnic at the home of Dottie Sammons Duncan, alumnae member. The traditional mock wedding ended rushing. Sigma Sigma Sigma was one of the first Southern sororities founded. Before 1898, Greek letter organizations had spread through the northern and eastern schools. The first sorority was founded at Depauw in 1870. At this time women began to follow the pattern set by the men in the organization of fraternities. The founders of Sigma Sigma Sigma intended to establish a social sorority with high ideals and a high scholastic standing. When it was found that the sorority had spread to several different types of schools, it was limited to on educational sorority. Plans have been formulated for a chapter house next September.

As a chapter of the national organization. Lambda chapter strives to encourage scholarship and social activities on the campus. Chapters of the national organization are located, on teachers’ college campuses throughout the nation. Miss Fanny Burgess was the first faculty sponsor of the charter members and under her guidance the chapter grew to fill an important place in Greek-letter life. Miss Ruth Flower now assists the members with their work. Intramural sports of basketball, volleyhall and bowling as well as badminton, tennis and other sports play an important part in the life of the “Delta Sigs . For two years in succession the sports-minded members of the group won bowhng placques to be proudly displayed on the walls of the chapter house at 1745 Fifth Avenue. In the basketball tournament this year, the team was named runners-up.

Rho Rho chapter made its debut on the Marshall campus in 1927 and has remained the only chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha in West Virginia. Six women under the sponsorship of Miss Irene Glazik brought the group into being. At the present time, meetings are held in the chapter rooms in College Hall. During the past year, members took an active part in W. A. A. tournaments and entered a float in thp'home-coming day parade. Miss Mary Wood Whitehurst is the present faculty sponsor. A An important event of this year’s sorority activity was entertainment for Mrs. Wilma Wilson Sharp, of Independence, Missouri, national director of the sorority. I On November 15. 1901, five co-eds of Farmville State Teachers’ college at Farmville, Virginia, founded Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority. The need for more strong organizations in the southern schools led to this step. The aim of these founders was to establish Astiterhood with the four-fold object of the physical, intellectual social and spiritual development of its members. The pin adopted was a diamond-shaped bit, of black enamel and gold''beading a crown and a star with the Greek letters of the organization. Crimson and white were chosen as the official sorority colors. At the present time there are thirty-three chapters with a national headquarters in Buffalo. New York. The sorority is governed by a national council, and by conventions which are held every two years. This year Rho Rho chapter sent several delegates to the Regional meet in Washington, D. C. in April. They have been invited to play a part of the program at this convention. Alpha Sigma Alpha has sponsored many social activities.

The original sponsor of the group was Virgil B. Hcltzcl, a member of the faculty at the time of the organization. Ralph Stevens headed the original group which soon became a leading factor in campus activities. To promote scholarship and better comradeship between the members through a common interest was the reason for the establishment of the organization to which the members have lived up to. Extra-curricular activities play an important part in the life of the members. Teams are entered in all the intramual sports of the program.

Dandelet, Phi Kappa Nu, local fraternity, has grown to hold a significant place in campus life. Affording the members a home during their stay in college, the purpose of the organization is closely woven around the existence of a strong solid brotherhood. This purpose is augmented through the fraternity’s efforts in attempting to increase the social as well as the academic standing of tho members. Participating in all the college activities, the fraternity has always placed though not always won the float and house decoration contests during the Homecoming celebration. Phi Kappa Nu’s are always prominent in the intramural activities—touch football, basketball, bowling, mixed volleyball, and the other activities. A record to be proud of is the fraternity has never forfctitcd an intramural game since its entrance into the field. Phi Kappa Nu, earlier in the year, was leading with the most points for the fraternity trophy to be given to the organization scoring the most points in the intramural sports program including not only the major sports but speedball and cross country racing. On the walls of the fraternity house are seven placques which the group won in the athletic contests of last year. Not all activities are of the sports nature with the brothers of Phi Kappa Nu. A goodly portion of the group’s activities are concerned with “tripping the light fantastic” at the annual Bowery Ball, this year held on January 29, the annual spring formal, the Founders’ Day dinner dance, each year as well as informal parties at St. Cloud’s Common and the Student Union building. Each year, the fraternity surpasses itself in wall and personal decoration for attendance at the Bowery ball. The Student Union is usually the scene of the party to which members and their guests come attired as Bowery inhabitants, as rakishly and loudly as possible. The walls of the Union are decorated with signs reminiscent of the “Gay 90’s”. A feature added to the social activities of the members has been the formal dinners given each month honoring active members of the various social sororities on the campus. These have been held on the second Wednesday of each month at the hotel Governor Cabell. Improvements in the interior decoration of the fraternity’s house have been accomplished this year. The house has been repapered and repainted. The lower floor has been refurnished. To increase the incentive for a higher academic average among the members, worthwhile prizes have been offered to the ones attaining the highest standing.

The Mu chapter of Alpha Kappa Pi fraternity was organized on the campus December 16. 1929, taking as its essential purpose that of the national organization. Professor Olson was the originial factulty sponsor of the group. Prof. Otto “Swede Gullickson serves in that capacity now. Participating in many of the extra-curricular activities of cumpus life the fraternity enters teams in all the intramural sports of the program. This year, the group won the intramural basketball tournament and was awarded the placques and other awards given to the winning team by the intramural department. Each year during the Homecoming celebration, Alpha Kappa Pi enters into the house decoration and parade float competition with the other Greek-letter groups on the campus. Social activities are of equal importance with the sports competition. Each year after the Thanksgiving Day football gome with West Virginia Wesleyan college, the Mu chapter stages a Thanksgiving Eve Ball honoring the members of Psi chapter of Wesleyan college. The Ball is one of the outstanding social events of the fall season. The tenth anniversary banquet of Mu chapter on December 16 was highlighted by the return of many of the “old grads”. The annual Founder’s Day banquet was held on March 23. Always a bright spot in the spring social season, the annual formal was held late in the year.

The services of Prof. Watson B Selvage were sought as faculty advisor. Prof. Selvage was known to be a man interested in student affairs and well-learned in fraternity methods and procedure. Final plans were laid before the College Council, and Alpha Theta Chi fraternity was founded on March 16. 1926, the second fraternity on the campus. Nine students were charter members of the group. The fraternity was founded to further the social activites and to raise the academic standards of the individuals who make up the personnel of the organization. Members take part in all the intramural sports offered by the physical education department. Almost always among the winners in the several fields, “Alpha Theta’s1 have become well-known for their sports record. Prominent among its members are stars of the varsity squads of football, basketball and track. Various types of social events highlight the 'Alpha Theta’s calendar. Informals as well as smokers and rush parties lead to the winter formal for the first semester. The Founders’ Day banquet on March 16 is an outstanding event of mid-year society. Capping the year’s activities is the spring formal held late in the season. Attesting the prowess in college activities of all kinds is the fraternity’s “Hall of Placques in the chapter house at 1518 Fourth Avenue, on whose walls placques awarded for one honor or another are hung.

I -117- KAPPA ALPHA Beta Upsilon chapter of Kappa Alpha, national social fraternity, was established on the Marshall campus in September 1927 to promote a better fellowship, build character and scholastic standing in striving for the ideal of a Southern gentleman as typified by Robert E. Lee. Prof. R. L. Largent was the first sponsor of the group. The national organization was established in 1865 through the efforts of two students of Washington College, now W and L, at Lexington. Virginia. James Ward Wood from Lost River. W. Va., and William Nelson Scott, of Lexington, spent the early days of the term in making plans to organize a fraternity through which they could better themselves and their future brothers. General Robert E. Lee. the president of the college, was the type of Southern gentleman that exemplified all the ideals for which Kappa Alpha was to stand and it was to stand and it was he who was chosen to be the spiritual advisor of the newly organized group. Although General Lee was never a member, it is on his birthday that Kappa Alpha celebrates its convivium. Like the other 68 chapters in the order. Beta Upsilon plays an important port in the social activities of all kinds on the campus, entering teams in the intramural sports offered by the physical education department. The fraternity also entered a float in the parade for the Homecoming celebration in the fall. Social activities are not neglected in the life of the fraternity's member. A “tacky party was given near the Hallowe’en season with members and guests coming in the most grotesque as well as picturesque costumes available. Founder’s Day, December 21, coming usually during the Christmas holidays, is celebrated instead on Lee’s birthday, January 19, with convivium or “get together” with the alumni of the chapter followed by the Mid-Winter formal. Parties for the pledges, smokers, and parties during Homecoming make up the informal entertainment for the year, with the spring formal topping the season. Working in connection with the alumni chapter. Beta Upsilon hopes to soon have their own chapter house. At present, meetings are held weekly in the Student Union building. Cecil Ferguson, manager of the Union and on alumnus of the chapter, acts as advisor for the group. Every two years Kappa Alpha holds its inventions in one of the larger cities in the South. The last convention to be held was last summer. August 23, 24, and 25, in Pasadena. California. From Kappa Alpha's rolls have come many prominent men in their chosen fields of occupation: J. Edgar Hoover, head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, explorer; Charles Paddock and Frank Wycoff of track fame: Randolph Scott and Feg Murray of movie renown; many presidents in outstanding colleges and schools throughout the country. At the date of organization, the colors chosen to symbolize the group were old gold and crimson: the flowers, the red rose and magnolia, and the motto “Dieu et les Dames.

Carl Norberg President To provide a means of honoring outstanding members of the college theatres. Alpha Psi Omega, national honorary dramatic fraternity, was established in 1927. The decision as to which college would -have the honor of the first chapter was made through the tosring of a coin, with Fairmont State Teachers college, Fairmont. W. Va„ winning the toss, and receiving the Alpha cast. Marshall college, the Beta cast. The Beta cast, headed by E. Turner Stump, tf rector of the Theatre here, was begun not to take the place of the regular dramatic club or other producing groups but to maintam standards of work of the student performers. Those maintaining that standard are awarded with election to membership in the fraternity. Quantity of members is not the aim of the group—-quality of performance, either roles in a ploy or backstage work on the numerous crews, is the necessary requirement for membership. Membership serves as a recognition of participation in the various activities of the Theatre. Each year college drama groups throughout the state meet for scvcrol days at a Speech Festival, this year held at Buckhannon. March 14. IS. and 16. Exhibits of scene design, costume design, masques, posters, and other backstage work done by members of the ploy production class were displayed. Entries in the competition include extemporaneous speaking, debate, poetry interpretation. and the one-act play, the latter sponsored by Alpha Psi Omega. Different types of one-act plays are presented, and recognition is given to the outstanding players in the various productions. It is a policy of the organization to have initiations of new members four times a year usually after the completion of each production. Invitations or bids are sent out to students who have taken or shown an active interest in the work of the theatre. After each group of new member is initiated, a smorgasbord” supper is given by the director. Prof. L. E. Tucker, and at the completion of the year's work, a spring dinner is given to all members of Alpha Psi Omega. A new group of pledges was accepted by the organization following the production of Wmterset. Those pledges are: Charles Leftwich. Edith Sayre. Nan Smith, and Rinard Hart. n Kobcrt Buskirk. vice-president. l ETA BETA SIGMA The old-fashioned dormitory “bull session has blossomed into something a bit more dignified. Now the traditional get-together” for information concerning topics of general interest is called the Eta Beta Sigma fraternity of Hodges Hall. Still in its infancy, the club has not as yet o-ocured the services of a member of the faculty as a sponsor and its irregular meetings arc held in the matron's lounge of the dormitory. The date of the organization was October 14. 1939. In stating its purpose. Carl Norberg. president of the group, said that the club was founded “to provide for organized, weekly discussions of subjects of intellectual interest to its members.” J Established through the desi e of twelve dormitory men to impart and be imparted to both wisdom and integrity on topics indicative of the general public opinion, the membership of the club has since swelled to seventeen, five additional dormitory inhabitants having been elected to membership in the unique fraternity on November 14. 1939.

To promote interest in science by keeping up with current scientific investigation. by means of lectures by prominent scientists, and by means of papers prepared by regular members as well as by general discussion and association with persons interested in science’ the national honorary scientific fraternity of Chi Beta Phi was founded at Randolph-Macon college in Ashland. Virginia, in April 1916. Marshall's chapters. Kappa, were organized in 1925 and 193 become important clubs particular! and Gamma Sigma, for women, and have since their organization students of the college. Although organized separately and for several years being entirely distinct groups, the sororities and fraternities recently combined into the central unit. The two groups, sponsored by Profs. R. P. Hron. E. S. Simons, and Anna DeNoon, have combined in accordance with the national group’s plans and have become known as the Chi Beta Phi fraternity. To reach the goal of the purpose, the fraternity sponsors industrial and scientific tours through the various plants in the vicinity. In addition to such field work, the club hears lectures by authorities in the various fields of scientific work. By means of these lectures, the group gains the personal touch of the lecturer and is able to satisfy its curiosities on scientific matters by discussions after the talk is over. One of the visits through factories, the club visited the Armco plant in Ashland. Kentucky, on December 9. Top, Howell Kirtley, vice-president; bottom. Lawrence Brown, treasurer. Top.

A gesture which promoted good will between Morris Harvey college in Charleston and Marshall, was made when the local chapters gave a dinner in Ashland for the Epsilon and Epsilon Sigma chapter of the Charleston school. The Grand President of the national organization was a special guest of the evening. New members of the fraternity were entertained at an open house party given at Brown Gables, summer home of one of them members. Malcolm Tabor. A formal dance was given during the second semester. Outstanding work in the field is acknowledged by awarding to the spohomore science major a life membership in the organization. The student is elected by the the science professors and by the chapter. A key award is made annually to the senior member doing the most for the chapter during the year. The national organization has 20 active chapters located in the seven eastern and southern states with a membership of approximately 2,400. On October 27, 1935, Chi Beta Phi was approved as an associated society by the American Association for the advancement of Science. It now belongs to a group with about 160 other nationally known societies. Top, Genevieve Suiter, vice-president; bottom.

The chapter was the fifth to be formed in the national organization. The original founder of the national organization were five women who conceived of the idea at a dinner at the Northwest Missouri State Teachers college at Maryville. Missouri. The purpose of the organization was to develop women with higher ideals of sane living, with appreciation of the sanctity of American homes, with broader social, intellectual, and cultural attainments. On December 11, 1922, which has been celebrated os Founder’s Day. the originators put their ideas into final shape and organized the first chapter of Kappa Omicron Phi. with the five original members. From this humble beginning, the home economics sorority has grown to an organization with chapters all over the country. The governing body is the National Council. Once a year the whole group meets in a National Conclave. Here new ideas are presented and plans ore worked out for the following year. In June of this year the National Conclave will meet at William and Mary College, at Williamsburg, Virginia. Epsilon chapter will send delegates to this meeting. ‘J J After the constitution of the sorority had been drawn up, plans were conveivcd for making it a distinct organization. Of course, an original pin had to be chosen. Since it represented the home, it seemed suitable that a distaff should distinguish the members of Kappa Oinieron Phi. This was formed from gold, with six pearls, representing the cardinal virtues of the household and a diamond at the top—the goddess of the household. The guard is symbolic of the Greek hearth. Red and gold were chosen as official colors for the club and the popy was selected as the flower. A national magazine, the Distaff, is published quarterly. Epsilon chapter came into being under the guidance of Mrs. Theeta Lyon. Since the first days of the chapter, she has been faculty sponsor. The members hold at least one business and one social meeting a month in the Reading room of the home economics department. Recent plans have been forwarded for founding an alumnae chapter in Huntington. At each meeting, members discuss practical problems that might be met in running a household.

KAPPA UELTA PI Phi chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, national educational fraternity, is one of the most influential scholastic organizations on the campus. What Phi Beta Kappa is to arts colleges of the country. Kappa Delta Pi is to the teachers’ colleges. With requirements for membership every bit as strict as those for its arts college, an average of B'' in all courses is mandatory, the Phi chapter has an active student membership of fourteen this semester. Since its organization June 7, 1923 under the sponsorship of Miss Isabcll Wilson, the group has initiated a total of 338 members, nine of whom are deceased In addition to those there have been seventeen affiliated members—members who were initiated into the organization by another chapter, but who. through transferring schools or other similar circumstances, are now members of the Marshall chapter. Miss Virginia Foulk, of the taculty, is Counsellor for the group and supervises its meetings which are held alternately at the Women’s Club and in the home of the members. The Phi chapter has maintained, since its inception in 1923, a scholarship fund totalling approximately S600, which aids worthy students in completing their education. Each year, the organization sponsors an open meeting to which outstanding members of the teaching profession are invited to attend and deliver an address on some phase of the profession. Last year. Dr. William Chandler Bagley, world-known educator, and author of several books on teaching used as textbooks for college training of teachers, was the guest speaker. Preceding the open meeting held in the auditorium the chapter entertained the guest with a banquet. This year’s guest of honor was Dr. Florence A. Stratemeyer. professor at Teachers’ college, Columbia university. who spoke at several meetings during her stay on the campus. At the open meeting of the fraternity. Dr. Stratemeyer spoke on a phase of educational work. She later addressed • meeting of the faculty. Dr.‘Stratemeyer was the first vice-president of the national organization of the fraternity. A banquet held dunng the last week of school is the chapter's portion of Commencement week celebration. ' To encourage high intellectual and scholastic standards and to recognize outstanding contributions to education was the purpose set forth by the organizers of the national group. Such a goal, the governing groups of the chapter keep constantly in mind and endeavor to maintain the standards of the fraternity. The national organization is made up of 116 active chapters and three alumni chapters. -124 — KAPPA (1MICH0 PHI Top: Arvenia White. Edna Gene Harless. Alene Reeves. Mabel Dodson. Mildred Miller.

Ruth Moate president; bottom, Mrs. Winona Straight, secretary. Officially organized in September of this school year. I Tau Kappa, a local club for women majoring in physical education department, was recognized as a registered organization of the campus during the early part in the second semester. Beginning about eight years ago. physical education majors not belonging to other teams banded together to form a team for participation in the activities. For several years since then these independent teams of I Tau Kappa have afforded greater competition for the sorority and hall groups in basketball, volleyball, horseshoes. ping pong and the other sports of the program Meeting in the east room of the Student Union with Miss Louise McDonough, the faculty sponsor, the I Tau Kappa’s have laid plans for social meetings to afford a greater range of social activities for the members. Members particiDate in all the activities of the intramural sports program of the department, volleyball for women, mixed volleyball, basketball, and bowling in particular. This year they received the trophy awarded the winners of the volleyball tournament. As an unofficial organization for a number of years, the group won various placques which have been placed on the walls of the women’s lounge in the gymnasium. Each member is prominent in a certain field of sport—swimming and life saving, basketball, volleyball play, but specialty of the group lies in their ability to play together in the team games. Then too, the organization is more accustomed to Dlaying together than the other entries in tournament play, which gives the I.T.K.'s an advantage that is hard to beat. Thus the goal set up for the club—for promotion of intramural and social activities for physical education women—is achieved. CHRISTIAN ALLIANCE Top, Pauline Hunter, vice-president; bottom. Janet Reardon, treasurer. Top. Willis S h o t w e 11, first semester president; bottom. Sarah Louise Locke, second semester president The Marshall Christian Alliance was founded in September, 1937, to promote the spiritual welfare of the students through a functioning interdenominational organization. The Alliance was founded by representatives of all the churches—members of the Baptist. Methodist, Presbyterian, and Christian churches as well as various tabernacles. Even at the start it was definitely an interdenominational organization. The first president of the organization was Charles Bowles, a member of the organizing group, and under his leadership, the membership grew fairly rapidly. By the end of the first semester’s work the average attendance had reached a point between 25 and 30 per meeting. Prof. Lee A. Wolfard. of the commerce department, accepted the invitation of the group to become its faculty sponsor, in which capacity he continues to advise the club. Leo Oxley was chosen to lead the group the second semester. Continuing to grow slowly, the club elected Carl Hopson to the presidency for the first semester. Dora Jane Cavendish for the second term. By January, 1939, the group had enlarged to between 40 and 50 every meeting. Willis Shotwell headed the group for the first semester of this year, and Sarah Louise Locke was elected for the second term. The general impression as to membership in the Alliance is that it is a closed group—that special invitations must be issued before joining. Any student regardless of church preference is eligible for membership is the group. Alliance meetings are held every Tuesday at 1:00 o'clock for about ten minutes of fellowship and devotions. The more important meetings are held every Friday at 1:30 o’clock at which a larger and more significant program is given. At least once every month the Alliance has a social meeting. Top.

Charles Waters, secretary This past fall, several of the men on the campus who were closely associated with each other and who had many interests in common, agreed that a fraternity binding them closer together would be beneficial to each and to the group. From this Digmma. a social club, was established. October 1, 1939. Meeting every Wednesday night in the east room of the Student Union building. with Prof. A. G. Moseley, Jr, as faculty sponsor, the members plan various social activities for entertainment of the group, a further purpose for the establishment of the club. Members devote as much time to the pursuance of intramural titles as they do to the social life. One member of the group was tops in the individual bowlinR matches. Tennis is represented by “Deacon” Parsons who has been for several years champion of the state. Teams from the group were entered in basketball, volleyball and bowling tournaments of the intramural program. During the Homecoming Celebration, the newly organized club entered a float in the parade between halves of the game. Social activities for the past year included a formal dance in January for members and invitations to special friends of the members. Topping the season of informal •get-togethers” of just members the spring formal was held late in the season. Second semester officers were chosen following the graduation of the first semester president. They are: Jack Smythe. president; Bob Kirkpatrick, vice-president: Jimmy Nash, treasurer; John Thaler, secretary; and Oscar Moore, sergeant -at-arms. New members who were invited to belong to the club during the second semester are Johnny Hubbard. Steve Beer, and George I. Neal. New members for the club are selected on the basis of scholastic record, with the consideration of other factors such as general conduct sociability, as well as other important standards of the group.

This club boasts a very large and prominent alumnae group composed of a great many out of state members, with approximately seventy-five active members though only nine are in school at present. Constitutional revisions this year makes it mandatory that the club pledge at least one independent woman with each incoming pledge group.

Top: Olive Reece, president. College Hall; bottom: Mary Baker, secretary-treasurer. College Hall. Housing nearly 400 students, the three dormitories of the campus have become since their founding, one early in the history of the school, the other two in 1937, a powerful factor in college life. College Hall, the first building on the campus early in the century, became a dormitory residence for women as well as housing several members of the faculty. One of the most interesting facts of which College Hall boasts is that the hall was the birthplace of Dwight Morrow, eminent statesman and diplomat, who was bom when his father. James E. Morrow, was president of the college. The first movement to bring women’s student government to the campus was instituted in 1929 when the women of College Hall officially organized the Women's Student Government Association, under the leadership of Miss Amanda Lee Beaumont, dean of women, and Mrs. Isabelle Plover, hostess of the hall. Since then the association has been carrying out its purpose: to regulate matters pertaining the life of the hall; to further in every way the feeling of unity among women residing here: to increase the sense of responsibility: to cooperate with the president and the faculty in maintaining a high standard of scholarship and living. The government arranges various activities for its members. Socially, it offers each year two formal dances, two informal parties, a Freshman Party, Big Sister party, and open house with several teas. The dormitory participates, too, as an organization in the Women’s Athletic Association program, and this year made its first advent in the Homecoming Day Parade. Second semester council members were chosen at the mid-year elections. They are: Iva Byrnside, Irene Mayenschein, Nancy Alderson. Theresa Metz. Harriet Schilling. Naomi Agnew. Anna Ruth Browder, Norma Fox. and Marion Johnson. Miss Eleanor Moreland and Mrs. Josephine Hooper act as hostesses for the Hall. • Laidley Hall. located at the comer of Third Avenue and Eighteenth Street is the home of 145 women on the campus. Like College Hall, the residents govern themselves by means of a council and officers. The Hall was opened in 1937 with Mrs. Edward S. Lauhon and Mrs. Marion Hill Flower as hostesses. Under their guidance the members of the council make rules and keep order among the residents. For purposes of government, the Hall is divided into twelve sections, each of which elects a representative to the Council which meets each Monday night under the leadership of the house president. During the Centennial celebration in 1937 the dormitories were dedicated, and the women’s hall was named in honor of John Laidley, one of the Virginia gentlemen responsible for the founding of the college. The opening of the dormitories was delayed by the flood of 1937, making it necessary to remodel the entire building. Under the heading of social activities, the Hall gives two informal parties each year. Before Thanksgiving, cooperating with College Hall. Laidley gives a dinner-dance and a spring formal in April. Teams from the Hall are entered in all the intramural activities of the Women's Athletic Association. Women of the Hall take part in many of the extra-curricular activities of the college. Second semester officers and council are: president, Elizabeth Booth; vice-president. Agnes Givens; secretary. Genie Goff. Council: Virginia Alice Turley, Mary Lou Taylor. Jimmie Grant, Carolyn Jasper, Beth Tarr, Lelia Hathaway, Mary Lawton Rose. Eunice Chapman, Kathryn Totten. Opal Farrell. Thelma Johnson. The first and only dormitory to house men students from out-of-town. Hodges Hall was opened in 1937 after remodeling following flood damages earlier in the year. The thoroughly modem, fire-proof building is located on the southeast corner of the campus at Eighteenth Street and College Avenue. The total capacity of the Hall is 152 men. Dr. John T. Krumplemann, former dean of men. was the original faculty sponsor. Prof. K. K Loemker, present dean of men, now acts as faculty sponsor. Hodges Hall has adopted the system of self-government; thereby the residents maintain the decorum of the Hall. The residents of the Hall govern themselves by their personal responsibility and through elective officers. The elective officers consist of the president and twelve councilmen. The president and six council men are elected in the spring while the remaining six positions are filled at the beginning of the fall term. The council is the legislative body of the hall, exercising powers of conduct considering actions for the best interest of all concerned. Mrs. Myrtle Morris is hostess and mother” of the hall. Social activities of the Hall include an open house during homecoming week, a winter formal dance and a spring formal dance. The winter formal dance was held at the Student Union building in the early part of December; the spring dance on April 26. Besides the regular social activities of the Hall itself a number of its residents are active in fraternities and other social organization on the campus.

Virginia Daniel, president; bottom. Ruth Ellen Sarvet Jones, secretary “The gallery in which the reporters sit has become a Fourth Estate of the realm.” says Macaulay in his essay on Hallam’s Constitutional History. The other three estates he pointed out are the Church, the Lords, and the Commons. Today, on the campus, the Fourth Estate has become the title of an honorary society for women journalists, now in its ninth year of existence. The dote of its organization was 1931. and its establishment and growth are due. in a large measure, to the untiring and ceaseless devotion given it by its sponsor. Miss Virginia Lee. who is an assistant in the department of journalism. The purpose of the club is to “foster interest in journalism among women journalists on the campus and its code of honor is “Accuracy. Courage, and Truth . It is one of the duties of the Fourth Estate to supervise the housing of the delegates for the annual United High School Press convention, co-sponsoring that convention with the department. Much coveted and prized greatly are the annual awards given by the society. It is the habit of the club to present these awards at its annual Spring Banquet. The first award is open, not only to journalism majors or club members, but to any woman student on the campus. This award, a locket, engraved with the name of the honoree and the date. club, and honor, is granted for the most outstanding piece of published matter on the campus. The second award is more limited, as it is presented to the woman who has done the most consistent work in Marshall journalism for the preceding year. The recipients of the awards are chosen by a committee of three, which is composed of the head of the department of journalism, the editor of the Parthenon, or someone designated by the editor, and one of the leading men from the downtown newspapers. Annual activities of the club include its Christmas party, held usually at the New China restaurant, at which gifts are exchanged by actives, pledges and alumnae. The most important activity on the Fourth Estate calendar is the spring banquet, which is the first active function of the preparatory members of the club and at which the awards are presented. The banquet last year was held at the Hotel Governor Cabell under the supervision of Frances Cober and Winifred Greear, in charge of arrangements. Top. Dorothy Buzek. vice-president; bottom Juanita Wright, treasurer. PRESS ELUH Top. Gene Slut president: bottom Robert Wisehart treasurer. In October. 1938. under the leadership of the staff and writers of The Parthenon. the Marshall College Press Club for men journalism students organized. At the meeting at which the group was formed, Fred Cody was elected president; Edwin R Brown, vice-president; and Dallas Higbee. secretary-treasurer. Present officers of the group are Gene Slutz. president: Jack Murphy, vice-president: Bob Crum pier, secretary; Bob Wisehart. treasurer. No formal social affairs are sponsored by the group but rather members meet for informal sessions at the various college haunts. There, the members plan future careers as Brouns, Peglers. Atkinsons. and Runyons. To promote a feeling of comradeship and good fellowship among the male members of the department who are majors, and to compare ideas concerning new developments and ideas in the field of journalism was the goal set up for the club when it was founded. A further aim is to encourage members to fit themselves for journalistic careers. Members devote their time to the study of the field of journalism and the majority of the membership includes the staff of the college paper—either as editors of the various departments of the paper or as reporters. New developments in the field are di cussed at the informal meetings such as streamline make-up. new styles of type value of editorials, policies of the paper, and photographs.

INTERNATIRNAL RELATIONS ELIIB Top, Andrew Faller, president; bottom, Virginia Daniel, secretary- The International Relations Club was organized in 1929 and is sponsored by the Carnegie Foundation for the promotion of international peace. The organization holds regular bi-monthly meetings in the west room of the Student Union building. The purpose of the club is to give the members a more complete knowledge of world organization, world problems and international relations: provide a seminar for political science students; and establish an organization for those who show qualities of constructive leadership. Dr. L. J. Corbly, deceased, of the political science department, was the original sponsor, and Dr. Conley H. Dillon, head of the department now, is the present sponsor. Activities of the club consist of dances, two annual banquets, and forums on international questions. In regard to the latter, two have been held this year. The first was on the recently enacted Neutrality Act: the second on the widely discussed problem of a Federated State. In order to keep its members well-informed on international topics the Carnegie Foundation presents current books to the club at the end of each quarter. These books deal with the latest international problems and are written by some of the world’s best authorities on international relations. Members of the club have access to this library which is located in the political science department office. At present there are approximately three hundred books in this collection. In addition, the Carnegie Foundation sends a number of good speakers to the club each year. This year in particular the club has been fortunate in hearing Dr. Tyler Dennet. international relations authority speak at a scries of meetings in March. The club renders a valuable service to the college in presenting the speakers in assemblies open to the entire student body. The International Relations clubs in the United States are divided into districts— the Marshall club being included in the Ohio Valley disthet. Each year a conference is held for each district. Berea college at Berea. Kentucky was the scene of the Ohio Valley Conference in the school year of 1939-40.

MARSHALL FLYING CLUB An outgrowth ot the aeronautics class established on the campus through the Civil Aeronautics Authority this fall, the Marshall College Flying Club ranks as the newest addition to the schedule of extra-curricular activities. The club was organized February 9, 1940. by fifteen enthusiastic flying students for the purpose of promoting greater interest among other students in flying. Symbolized by the letters M.C.F.C.. the club meets under the sponsorship of Prof. A. E. MKTaskey. Mr. E. M. Simons and Mr George Staters, in Science 102. For actual flying work, the club is fortunate in having at their disposal three planes: two sport cubs, carrying two passengers each; and one Acronca. for two passengers. A member of the National Aeronautics Association which has similar organizations throughout the country on various college campuses, the M. C. F. C. works under the charter set up by the national organization. With the help of faculty sponsors, a constitution was drawn up at the first meeting, by which the club is also governed. Social activities of the club are varied informal parties. Solo parties celebrated when a member completes his first solo flight are fast becoming a tradition with the club, as they are with other groups of flying enthusiasts. A board of directors is composed of Lt. Howard G. Mays, chairman; Howard Mays, Jr.; Mr. Stathers. and Mr. Simons. The class from which the club originated was the flying course instituted under the federal government aeronautics authority which required of the flying students ground school work for one hour a day. four days a week for one semester. The students were to fly one-half an hour at a time according to a schedule arranged by the directors. By passing written examinations as well as a practical flying exam in maneuvers and so on. the students were to procure their private flying license. In case the exam is flunked it can be taken over in 30 days. In order to get a license, the students must have thirty-five hours of work. 15 hours credit for ground school and eight hours in solo work. Club membership is not limited to members of the aeronautics class, however. Any one who is interested in aviation is eligible for membership, although being trained in the art of flying would naturally promote more interest. Sidney Mac Robertson, secretary-treasurer. GEOLOGY ELIO To the fascinating class study of the formation of the earth and natural phenomena of meterology and other branches of geology hasbeen added the opportunity for further knowledge the Geology club organized recently. Prof William Lockwood, of the geology department, began the club as an extra-curricular activity to satisfy the demand for further knowledge of the subject. The aim of the club is not. however, a purely selfish aim of gaining knowledge for the members alone. Its purpose is to create more interest in the subject among the students and to further their cultural knowledge of the work. The club has planned two field trips annually for the members. Meeting once a month the club hears programs which feature prominent speakers discussing the various branches of the science. One of the unique things about the club is that there are no permanent officers. A new president presides at each meeting. The program is arranged by a committee in cooperation with the members of the club. Any student enrolled in a course in geology is eligible for membership in the club. ■■ MARSHALL FLYING CLUB Top: Harry Damron. Jack Kouns. Joe Reeser.

To promote a high standard and general interest in athletics in Marshall college, to bring together as a working body the students who have been actively associated with .athletics, and who are thus qualified to have a general oversight and act for the best interest of college athletics was set up as the goal of the Var«ity M club when it was established in 1926 by a group of athleties who figured prominently in sports during the twenties. The club was organized and held its first meeting in Mr. E. S. Reesers office at 539 Ninth Street. The constitution and the election of officers was the chief business of that first meeting. Don MacDonald was chosen as the first president: Carl B. Park, vice-president; and E. S. Reeser, secretary- treasurer. Including all athletics who have won letters in the four major sports—football, basketball, baseball, and track, the club has grown since date of organiaztion to include about 30 members at present. The election of the Homecoming Queen, Miss Varsity M. to represent the team at the game has been a function of the club since its inception. It has been only in the last several years that Homecoming Day has been celebrated with a Ball at which the Queen reigns. Before Freshman rules were abolished from the campus the Varsity M club was in charge of enforcement of those rules. Members have the right “to prohibit the wearing of the Varsity M letter in any shape or form by any person excepting those who are entitled to it as specified in the constitutions of the athletic board. After athleties are graduated from the college, they are eligible to become members of the Marshall M club, an outgrowth the Varsity M. named so to distinguish it from the original organization. The alumni group was organized October 14. 1936 to maintain closer relationship with the athleties just out of school and to increase the interest in sports at the college. Files and records of the early games and contests, describing “feuds” with other schools, ore on file in the office of the president of the alumni club. Officers of the Marshall M club are Ed. S.

The Greenbrier-Pocahontas club was organized October 25, 1938, by the students on the campus from those two counties. The organization meeting was held in the South parlor of College Hall. The first officers of the club elected were: Oren Poage, president; Louise Bays, vice-president; and Elizabeth Boone, secretary-treasurer. Dr. A. E. Harris was chosen as faculty advisor. It was organized as a social group for the purpose of a more intimate acquaintance of these students, for intellectual achievement by cooperative effort, and as a means for social participation of the students of these counties. Also, the members have a keen desire in interesting “hack-home graduating students in Marshall College. The club has done much in the way of acquainting these students who might otherwise never get to know others of their home locality. In this one respect, if no other, the club has justified itself. Considering the academic accomplishments of the students from Greenbrier and Pocahontas counties, the record is one to be envied. Each one has made a good record for him or herself; the names of many are to be seen on each successive Dean’s list as a result of outstanding work. Aside from the strictly academic work members of the club have been very active in extracurricular activities of a cultural nature. The social program of the club is light but effective. Each year the club has two parties—one in the fall and one in the spring. The club is rather handicapped by not having a regular meeting place but each year Dr. and Mrs. Harris have graciously extended to the members the privilege of having a party at their home. This year the fall party was a pre-Christmas party at the Harris home. Tentative plans were laid for the spring party. Aside from the group's social activity a number of students from these counties have been and arc active in the fraternities and sororities on the campus. On the intramural calendar the name of Greenbried-Pocahontas Club participants and teams have come to be respected as worthy competitors. James Williams was a medal winner in the foul-shooting contest of last year while the G-P team walked away with the laurels in volley-ball. Sammy Franzcllo was a “cinch” in the crosscountry race. In numerous other events of the intramural program G-P entrants have been top-ranking competitors. k. -138- VARSITY M Top row: Aldo Paletti, Harold McCloud. Clyde Underwood. Yost Cunningham.

Burnside, of the political science department, in 1937. When the organization was established. 15 students were recognized as the charter members. From that nucleus the club has grown to a total of 70 members during the 39-40 school year, through the efforts of the founder as well as increased interest in the activities of the group. Membership is the fraternity is open to alt political science students and in particular to the majors in the department. At the regular meetings of the group, held bi-monthly in Room 203 of Main building, the club hears talks by outstanding members of the profession. The group has been fortunate this year in securing the services of some of the best attorneys in this district as guest speakers. Hearing these talks not only enables students to learn of the different types of lawyers— corporation, criminal and civil lawyers—but it affords, direct contact with men who can give them good advice in their pursuance of a career in law. Some of the speukers this year have been: Rollo D. Campbell. Harry Scherr. Judge F. C. Leftwich, City Attorney B. C. Sharitz. Peter H. Baer. Selden S. McNeer, W. T. Lovins, G. R. Markham, Dr. Cyrus B. VanBibber. and Judge George S. Wallace This group and other attorneys in the city have offered the use of their law libraries to the members of the fraternity for reference and research work. In addition they have contributed over 6000 law volumes to the Morrow library which greatly aids the students in their law studies. The Pre-Law fraternity has been fortunate in the last few years in obtaining fellowships for its graduates in some of the best law schools in the country. In the school year 38-39 the fraternity secured places for all its graduates. One alumnus of last year. Dayton Casto. received the West Virginia Scholarship in competition with every pre-law student in the state. This year he led the entire freshman class in scholarship standing. At Washington and Lee. George Heiner this year also placed first in the freshman class. Since its organization, the effectiveness of the Pre-Law fraternity alumni doing graduate work has been almost lOO c. This is due largely to the excellent training which the political science department offers, one with the most complete cooperation of attorneys in the Huntington district.

When the group was organized, under the sponsorship of Miss Isbell Wilson, in 1921, there were but six members. At present the rolls show a total of 48 active members, with a promising crop of pledges being prepared for active membership next year, and is under the leadership of Miss Myrtle MacDannald. of the department. The purpose of this organization is to provide . . . “a social organization for students of home economics outside the hours of classes .... an extra-curricular activity for the study of phases in the different branches of home economics which are not taken up in the class room itself . . . . ” Very active socially, the main event on the club’s yearly calendar is the spring formal, usually held in the Student Union building. Numerous teas, informal parties, and “just meetings” fill in the spaces between the Spring dance and the annual Christmas Party, well known for its perfection in decoration, appropriate refreshments, and genial, comradely atmosphere. Gay occasions, indeed, arc the weiner roasts given by the group in the late spring and early fall which are always well attended and thoroughly enjoyable to members, guests, and pledges. Social activities are fine in the proper ratio, and the Home Economics Club takes full cognizance of that fact, tempering their good times with a big. healthy dose of plain old-fashioned hard work, experienced in the issuing of their annual Student Directory, a service of inestimable value to the college itself, and the club’s one commercial project of the year. Sold to the student body, the faculty, and any downtown bystanders who are sufficiently interested in the individuals who go to make up the entire college, by paying the nominal fee of ten cents per copy, the student Directory is a sort of yearly census record of everyone connected with the college. Listed in the Directory are the names, addresses, titles, and telephone numbers of everyone from the revered doctor, who endeavors to drum some of the more outstanding facts concerning Early Medieval Development of the civilizations, on down through the alphabet to that cute little red head you were introduced to (or otherwise) at the College Corner last Saturday night! Compiling this Directory, gathering the information for its catalogue, the checking of it for accuracy in spelling, facts, and classifications, its printing, editing, obtaining of subscription, advertising space, and actual distribution is done annually and voluntarily by the members of the Home Economics club. President of the club, and directly in charge of the Directory is Helen Ashburn of Huntington, a junior and a major in home economics. Edna Gene Harless, a junior, is the club’s vice-president, while Alene Atkinson also a junior, services os secretory of the group, with Catherine Bartels sophomore holding the office of treasurer. The fifth officer of the Home Economics Club is Mary Eliton. a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences, who officiates as Program Chairman, and whose responsibility it is to provide the club with suitable and informative speakers and reports.

Thus, the organizers of the first Women’s Athletic Association, set forth the aims for the club. W. A. A., as the vogue for alphabetical titles has dubbed the organization, has reached its thirteenth birthday, having been established in the school term of 1927-1928 by its original faculty sponsor. Miss Dorothy Potter. Prof. Louise McDonough, physical education instructor, is its present sponsor, and the club has its own clubroom in the lobby of the Women's Gymnasium. Having a social as well as physical educational aspect the activities of the club include its annual banquet usually held in the late spring, at which hard earned medals and trophies are presented for top honors in activities in both team, group and individual sports. Other phases of the W. A. A. social life are its Munless Dances, traditional affairs based on the belief that representatives of the masculine sex are not always necessary for having a good time. As do all other clubs, W. A. A. has informal teas, and a freshman reception which lead up to the initiation of the neophytes chosen for membership in the group, which is held once every year with an impressive candlelight service, inspiring for the participant. The growth of W. A. A. has been pronounced astonishing, and when this year’s highly organized group looks back at the few members of 1928 proof of that growth becomes only too evident. For example, the only sports the Women’s Athletic Association of the year 1929 offered its members and pledges were basketball and volleyball, with a questionable following and practically non-existent honor connected with the winning of the tournaments in either of them. In the year 1940 the club conducted, refereed and were contestants in tournament sports. These were: tennis, hockey, horseshoes, volleyball, basketball, badminton, ping pong, hand ball, swimming, and baseball. This year the organization is experimenting with a peculiarly different innovation in the world of snorts, a program of co-activities in the three tournament sports of volleyball, badminton, and tennis. This arrangement is a kind of teamwork arrangement with the men’s intrpmhral association, where the positions on a team are divided equally between men and women inducive to better co-operation and more co-activity between men and women in the field of physical education. Requirements of members in the organization are quite specific and must be met before the candidate is considered for initiation. It is not necessary for the woman desiring membership to be a major in the field of physical education, but she must definitely be an active participant in the sports sponsored by W. A. A. The point system is used in qualifying a woman for membership, a certain number of points being granted for merely being n ccntcitant in a tournament, a greater amount for winning individually or be;ng on the winning team, and a proportionate number for second, third, and runner-up positions.

Beginning with a small group, the local chapter of the Y.W.C.A. has grown from the seven chapter members to a large and influential group of forty-five women. Established on the campus March 20. 1938. the Y.W.CA. has gradually assumed a significant position here. The national Young Women’s Christian Association was founded in 1855. In the southern part of England, a Miss Roberts started a prayer union with a purely spiritual aim. and in London. Lady Kinnaird commenced the practical work of opening homes and institutes for young women in business. In 1887 the two branches of the work united into the Young Woman’s Christian Association, which seeks to promote the all-round welfare of young women by means of residential and holiday homes, classes and lectures and other useful departments. The Association has spread all over the world and the total membership is over half a million women in all walks of life. Growing from the small original chapter into a a much larger group of college women, the organization strives to realize a full and creative life through a growing knowledge of the Divine. It is a very important organization on the campus whose primary purpose is to promote Christianity and good will. On the whole, the association is made up of non-sorority women, but any woman on the campus is eligible for membership. During the year several informal parties arc arranged and enjoyed by the members. Outstanding among these informal entertainments have been, for this year, a steak fry and the St. Patrick's day Taffy Pull. But not all entertainment is for the members alone. In fulfilling the welfare work set up as a goal for the group, the members this year made plans for several parties for needy children. At Thanksgiving, baskets were distributed to help unfortunates celebrate the era of good will. The organization gave a Christmas party for 20 needy little girls. At the party each child was prerented with a dress for herself and a doll, in addition to candy, fruits and nuts. During the Christmas season, members also gave a program on Sunday afternoon at the Old Ladies' Home. For the Easter vacation, the group planned an Easter Egg hunt for needy children. Following the vacation, members of Y.W.C.A. presented a style show in the Student Union building. Officers elected to serve for the second semester include Hazel Sargeant, president; Alice Whitmeyer. vice president, and Ella Hite, secretary.

In the autumn of 1937, Prof. A. E. McCaskey, of the engineering department, seeking to give recognition to his outstanding students, formed the honor group with five charter members. ---------■------------- 1 With such strict requirements as a 2.00 average in a minimum of 40 hours of study the organization, naturally, has never been overcrowded with members. This grade prerequisite has established hS D-Rho D-Theta as the most exclusive and limited student group on the campus in regard to membership. In carrying out its purpds . the club awards a cup annually to the sophomore engineering student who holds the highest scholastic average as a freshman. Usually the receiver of the cup goes on to win membership in D-Rho D-Theta. But these prize wielders of the transit and compass do not content themselves with becoming mere machines. Off tb ' record they often become “strictly unacademic”. building around those sound minds, strong bodies, as They Play- In cooperation with the rest of- he engineering students (who make “B” averages in only some of their courses, not all) D-Rho D-Theta enters teams and individuals in practically every athletic event on the year’s intramural program. Not always do they capture honors in sports, but tjiey play hard and have fun. The engineers’ basketball team did all right by itself in this year’s intramural schedule. Come spring, and they put a formidable softball outfit onto the campus diamonds. They Play— Into the social columns breaks D-Rho D-Theta every spring when it holds its formal dinner in honor of new members. Set up three ycu s ago as an engineering fraternity at Marshall, D-Rho D-Theta already has plans underway for introducing new chapters of the fraternity among engineering students in other colleges. NEWMAN ELEB Top. Bill Moore, president: bottom. Eugene Russell, first semester vice-president. Increasing the roster of chapters belonging to national organizations is the Newman club, national union of Catholic students. Named in honor of Cardinal John Henry Newman, vicor of St. Mary's college, professor at Oxford, and an author, philosopher, as well as the leader of the Trnctorian movement the Newman club is a national organization functioning in every college in the United States. Marshall’s chapter of the Newman club was founded in 1937 with the Rev. Father Krause, now doing missionary work in Japan, as the first spiritual advisor. When founded the club had a membership of fifteen students headed by Lee Cuni as president. Membership in the club jumped from 25 to 96 this past year with the Rev. Father Sweeney, as spiritual advisor, and Mr. and Mrs. Kerr Whitfield. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Dandelet as faculty sponsors. This year's president is Bill Moore: vice-president Frank Oros. The purpose of the club is to bring the members into closer acquaintance with one another, to promote their religious interests, to make the Catholic religion better known on the campus, to endeavor to correct misconceptions of Catholicism, and to increase the good-will that exists between the Catholics and Protestants on the campus. But not all the club's activity is made up of the religious work. The club participates in many of the activities on the campus. Among these activities is the intramural and varsity sport program. Club members participate in basketball, football, tennis, gold, swimming and other sports. Many of the members of the varsity teams are members of the club. Social activities as well os sports play an important part in the life of the club. Some of the events sponsored each year are the annual house parties and receptions given at the beginning of each school year for the purpose of electing new officers and enrolling new members. A spring dinner-dance was given at St. Joseph’s high school gymnasium in April last year. Communion breakfasts were given by the club at Christmas and Easter and regularly one each month during the year. At the beginning of the second semester of last year a spaghetti dinner was given for the entertainment of the club members. The outstanding social event of the past year was the annual spring party. April 5 at St. Joseph's high school. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Dandelet and the Rev. Father Sweeney chaperoned the event. Top, William Chatfield. vice-president; bottom. Creed Gearhart, member.

Organized in 1896, while Marshall was still an Academy, the Parthenon has grown from a monthly publication in magazine form, issued by the co-operation of two literary societies with unpronouncable Greek names, to a semi-weekly newspaper, distributed each Tuesday and Friday, in tabloid size issued by the department of journalism. The staff of this paper is chosen by students, composed of students, and with faculty advisor. Prof. W. Page Pitt, head of the department of journalism, acting as a mentor in difficult situations, completely operated by students. Serving as a sort of laboratory for the students of journalism, the Parthenon gives them, through actual experience, information concerning the fundamentals of journalistic style, basic principles of make-up, definite facts concerning type fonts and families, and other essentials important to the novice in the newspaper field, as well as experience on the reportorial end of the business. In the second semester of the year 1939-40 a unique occurence changed the staff from principally male to just the opposite. Dorothy Buzek was elected editor-in-chief, the second woman to ever hold that position, with the other important offices on the papier also held by women—Virginia Daniel, managing editor, Juanita Wright, society editor, and Frances Cober, Friday news editor. Two other offices of relative importance, sports editor and Tuesday news editor, were filled by Robert Wisehort and Chester Ball. Each Sunday, Monday. Wednesday and Thursday night the staff of budding journalists gather at the paper's down town office for the final mechanics of “putting the paper to bed . One of the most fraternal organizations on the campus, the Parthenon staff members stick together, loyal to the “nth degree to each other and to the paper itself. PERSONALITIES ON THE PARTHENON ....

Likable but rather late in getting copy turned in.......Gene Slutz, sports editor par excellence. a nice fellow to have around and one who will go far. ... In case you hadn't heard, Slutz, is no more—he is now known as Gene “Kelly , radio broadcaster and sports announcer for the local broadcasting station...........Red- haired, irrelevant and completely unpredictable, first semester society editor, Betty Petit ... a personality not to be forgotten, she brought originality and life to Marshall Society.......Sweet, but none the less competent for all her sweetness. Virginia Dimples Daniel, feature editor and soon to be managing editor on second semester staff . . . a swell person, and one to be depended upon .... Ned Brown, associate editor, erstwhile reporter for one of the down-town papers, sleepy guy with a sense of humor........Bob Wisehart, quiet and reliable, a shade too modest. assistant sports editor first semester, who moved up to sports editor when Kelly” left us. ... .

Made up of musicians from every corner of West Virginia, various other states, and even Germany, this aggregation of 68 members begins early in September each year preparing itself for the Big Green's football schedule, which the band finds almost as strenuous as do Coach Henderson's gridders. Every afternoon until Thanksgiving. Dr. Mueller and all his lads can be seen and heard on north campus working out on new tunes and tricky marching formations with which they add their bit of color and enthusiasm to Saturday's football games. Into Fairfield Stadium they march before the kick-off of each game, playing and, in the way of something new this year, singing the stirring Sons of Marshall. From their special section right down on the field on the 25-yard line, these bandmen take advantage of their position by lending voices and instruments to some tricky cheerleading. After playing several fight songs and marches between quarters and during time-out periods, the band rises to impressive heights at half-time, when Dr. Mueller directs them in the beautiful Alma Mater. Not content with merely stirring the fans with their military marches, the boys let their hair down at halftime, turn vaudevillians, and pull off some hilarious stunts. From their group they can give you a “little Goiman band or the swingiest jam session ever to get hep. Some of their favorite presentations include burlesques of A-tisket-A-tasket. I Lost My Yellow Basket, the Boopsadaisy dance, A Bicycle Built for Two and other such cutting up. Up front twirling the baton in no mean fashion is Drum-major Don Loudermilk. Standing out in this group of 68 bandsmen is a lone co-ed, Sarah Louise Locke, who modestly plays upon the lyre in the more lovelier songs, such as the Alma Mater. It was around the turn of this century, about 1910, that the forerunner of this Marshall band was organized. Then a Mr. Harvey Gregory gathered about him the homblowers and drumbeaters of the college and formed the school’s first band. This initial aggregation boasted only 15 or 20 musicians but it did its bit toward urging the gridders on. Just a year or two ago Dr. Mueller's men stepped forth a werrin' of the treen .... those colorful green and white uniforms they sport. Each year the band increases its number. Although many of the group are majoring in music in college, beside them in every row sit students from the engineering department, teachers college, journalism department, commerce, and every other field of study in Marshall. Most of themare freshmen, fresh out of their high school band ar.d eager to lend a note to Marshall’s cause. True, the lads receive one hour of credit for a year's participation in the band, but the real reason for their joining is that uncontrollable desire all have to play in a band, any band, but preferably the Marshall College Band. Come basketball season, and the men of Mueller gather informally on the stage at Vanity Fair at each game and give the students more enthusiasm with their martial Marshall music. During the off season one finds many of these lads sitting in with local dance orchestras. Their last appearance of each year comes when they don their green and white again in the spring and play an important role in making the state high school band festival in Huntington the success that it is. The bandmen will tell you that their tops in fun comes when they fill up a couple of Greyhound buses and follow the football team to their out-of-town games. This past season it was Dayton, Cincinnati, and to Charleston, to encourage and help celebrate Marshall victories. They're the energetic men who play till they’re winded, then stop and cheer awhile, and play some more.

In September. Dr. Harry Mueller selects 80 students, from a much larger number of aspiring tenors, altos, and basses. When tryouts are over, he takes these would-be Tibbetts and Swarthouts, teaches, rehearses, begs them, and blends their many voices into one. The group studies choral literature, practices diligently, and soon comes the time for its first appearance, when Dr. Mueller presents his college choir to the student body in a general assembly. The high spot in the Madrigal club's season is reached just before Christmas vacation begins. It is at this time that the singers prespresent the famous Messiah, by Handel in the college auditorium. In this program some of his proteges display marvelous talent in the lead parts. The Madrigal comes forth again in the spring, doing three such programs during the year. Their final appearance is made at commencement exercises in May. This year marks the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the first choral group at Marshall. It was back in 1920 that Miss Hannah Cundiff organized 50 men and women students, who liked to burst forth in song, into what was called the Marshall College Choral Union. In 1922, this same musical Miss Cundiff formed a Treble Clef Club, made up of 40 singing co-eds. A few years later when Dr. Mueller took over the baton in the music department here, he combined men and women into his Madrigal club. This club sang out under this name until 1935 when, for some reason, its name was changed to the Marshall Choral Ensemble and its roster was changed to 12 men. The Choral Ensemble men were together but one year and in 1936. presto! . . . the name was Madrigal club again and it had 18 members. Its name has remained the same ever since, and it has been composed of both men and women students, but. obviously, its popularity as an extra-curricular activity has increased as shown by the amazing growth in membership. Although Dr. Mueller has 80 singers on the roll, he sometimes uses only part of them, retaining others as alternates. Some of the Madrigals had previous experience in high school glee clubs, but the majority arc rookies at this business of keeping in key with dozens of other people . . . that, is, rookies until they have been under Dr. Mueller’s tutelage a while. Quite a few of the group spend Sundays chanting in choirs of Huntington churches. Many are majoring in music but students from every department in Marshall take port in this kind of fun. Besides making campus and Huntington performances, the Madrigal club carries its tunes throughout southern West Virginia and the Tri-state area, singing in high schools. With it goes much good will from the college it represents. This spring the group sang at such high schools as White Sulphur Springs. Hinton. Point Pleasant, and Ashland. True, out of the Madrigal club come few voices ready for Metropolitan Opera, but these students who want to sing. sing, sing, and don’t mind practicing the scale over and over, do achieve their one purpose .... they have fun! - 154- MADRIGAL CLUB Top row: Emmons Hutchison, Nan Smith, Harry Lewis, Elizabeth McGuire.

Turner Stump, College Theatre has fulfilled the tradition of “the show must go on and has come to wield a powerful influence on the campus, enlisting workers from every branch of the college. During the thirteen years of existence. College Theatre has produced almost every type of play from melodrama to farcical comedy. Outstanding in the annuals of the Theatre are such productions as Night Must Fall: The Royal Family; Personal Appearance; Elizabeth the Queen; Street Scene; Counselor-At-Law; and numerous others. This year under the direction of Prof. L. E. Tucker has been no expection to the high standard of productions which the campus and townspeople have come to expect from the theatre worker At the first meeting of the year, in tne Green Room, students strolled in. each voicing the merits and faults of current and past plays—each hoping that his favorite would be chosen for production. Three dramas were settled upon for the year, each representing a different problem from cither the technical or dramatic aspect. Fashion by Anna Cora Ogden Mowitt, an extraordinary showboat attraction, was chosen for the first production. Authenticity for the “gala showboat extravaganza was assured through the assistance of Dr. Marius Blcsi, of the English deportment, who hod written his doctor’s dissertation on the mclodrammer”. Adding to the enjoyment of the play, done in true showboat fashion, was the selling of candy and peanuts, as well as the Can-Can chorus arranged and executed by the apprentice players. Our Town by Thorton Wilder, the second play to be produced, was in many aspects much more difficult than work done heretofore. Using no props and scenery naturally would place a great deal of importance on the interpretation of the actors and actresses. After second semester rush of registration and final settling down to classes were over, the call went out for the casting of highly dramatic drama Winterset by Maxwell Anderson. Parts ranged from little, short fat men to tall skinny women. Even the stage manager, David Metz, was so enthusiastic about the play that he accepted the role of Herman, the shoe salesman. Winterset was the only production in which he had ever come from behind scenes. College Theatre is open for student participation by any who is interested in the staging of dramatic productions. Everything—building the scenery, costumes, properties, make-up, publicity, house—is done by members of the group. Approximately fifty students take part in the staging of each production.

Moss-man Editor-in-Chief For seven years, Marshall college lias been without a permanent record of its growth, development and additions to the physical plant, the increased student body, and the enlarged rostrum of student activities. The Mirabilia ceased publication after 1933, during the depression. Since then students have come, made their impression upon college life by their extra-curricular work, and have gone, while no record of the happenings of college life has been kept. Like many campaign promises of student politicians, as well as real-life politicos, the demand for a yearbook during last spring’s election was a beautiful dream— pleasant to think about, but just something about which nothing would be done. However, the outstanding news of the fall term— besides the high enrollment figures and the football victories—was the announcement that the Student Council was to sponsor a yearbook. Betty Garrett Managing Editor In honor of John Marshall, one of the most famous of the Chief Justices of the Supreme Court and for whom the college was named when it was established in 1837, the most appropriate title the chief JUSTICE was chosen. To stand for the principles of fairness and justice as well as to present a record of the 1939-40 year at Marshall college—that was the goal the students set for themselves. The necessary machinery for the publication was set up, with Elmore S. Mossman, Point Pleasant senior, chosen as editor; and Bob Early, Huntington senior and student president, as business manager. Subordinate positions were filled as follows: managing editor. Betty Garrett: associate editors, Nora Vee Thacker and Virginia Daniel; art editor, Gladdys Mitchell; and sports editor. Gene Slutz (now Kelly). After the photos were taken, prints had to be made, one for the class page, and one for each organization of which the student was a member. These prints had to be classified and checked for identification and put in the proper places for mounting on the various panels. Snapshots for the many feature sections as well as the laborious task of identification and sorting fell to the lot of the photography department headed by Bob Coakley who was assisted by Julia Lee Kittinger, Mary Jane Wilkinson, end Jean Gibson. Prof. A. G. Moseley, Jr. extended to the photography department his dark tbom facilities and cooperated with the staff in taking many pictures used in the book. To no one student should the credit go for the publication of the book—to all the 70 or more as a whole have spent uncounted hours at their various tasks should the applause go for a book of which each is justly proud of—his contribution to the publication. Above all, it shows to the •‘doubting Thomases” of the early fall plans that a yearbook can be published on the Marshall campus. ART STAFF Top: Gladdys M. Mitchell. Art Editor.

I THE CHIEF JUSTICE BUSINESS DEPARTMENT In the production of the 1940 CHIEF JUSTICE, as is the case of any business, the will to succeed is of prime importance. It has been this unselfish spirit that has typified the forty odd workers of the Business Department. To Robert Early, Business Manager and Student President, went the responsibility for the control and management of this department, with Helen Camp ably assisting in the role of Assistant Business Manager. The succesa or failure of the 1940 CHIEF JUSTICE rested upon the shoulders of this department to sell a doubting student body enough copies to assure publication. With the experiences and failures of the past as a guide, an installment subscription plan was developed. Any student subscriber was given the opportunity to pay for his yearbook in twelve bimonthly installments. Forty students volunteered their services in response to a call for salesmen. The rising temperature of a huge thermometer goal, mounted on the Student Robert T. Early, Jr. Union, within two weeks, graphically registered the Business manager salesmen’s efforts by indicating the sale of approxi- mately seven hundred copies. The 1940 CHIEF JUSTICE become a certainty and the Editorial Department was given the “go-ahead signal. Along with the sales success arose a tremendous bookkeeping problem. An office was established in the check-room of the Union. Night and day, from early in the fall until the close of the school year, this small office was a bee-hive of congested activity. Additional members were added to the staff to cope with the increased work. June Hager was appointed Circulation Manager, and following a feminine theme, Emma Lou Kittle was elevated to the position of Chief of the Secretarial Staff. Excellent cooperation was provided by the college authorities. The counsel and advice of Financial Advisor, Dr. K. K. Loemker, Dean of Men, and Prof. Frederick E. Brown, of the commerce department, was particularly helpful. Cecil Ferguson, manager of the Student Union, helpfully provided the staff with an office and many privileges. By mid-fall contracts for photography, covers, and printing had been let. Subscriptions continued to pour in and a new goal of 1000 copies became probable. With deadline dates drawing near, a short intensified drive for procrastinating student subscribers made this goal a reality. To the salesmen of the staff should go the lion's share of the proise. Their task was a thankless one. one which required not momentary enthusiasm but steady and conscientious effort to get payments collected and turned into the office on time. Because the student body was made up of a good many “doubting Thomases it required tact, skill, persuasion as well as their enthusiasm to make the sale of the book go to the required goal before editorial work could even begin. The problem of advertising fell next in line after the intensified drive, and a novel plan was developed by Early, whereby the old and unproductive plan of space advertising was abandoned. In its place, the advertisers were offered the privilege of buying a number of yearbooks. These books, with the advertisers' names imprinted on the front cover, were to be mailed to the libraries of the high schools in the surrounding area of southern West Virginia. Through this plan the advertisers were offered real and productive advertising. Thousands of high school students in the area surrounding Marshall College would, through the cooperation of these firms, be given a graphic story of what Marshall college has to offer as a leading college of this section. To Jon Eddy Thomas. David Metz and Jim Barrett as his able co-workers went the job of selling this plan to the merchants of Huntington. The results were immediate, and this new type of advertising was thoroughly accepted by the Huntington advertisers.

Wolfard, head of the department, formed the Marshall College Chamber of Commerce. He organized his students into this group so that as a whole they might benefit each other in learning their field. The years since then have been marked with phenomenal growth both in the commerce department and in the Chamber of Commerce. This year the membership in the Chamber hit a new high with a total of 181 students taking part in its activities. Registration figures this year showed that 422 Marshall enrollees had chosen commerce as either their major course of study or their minor. A bit of calculating proves this to be an increase of approximately 400% since 1931. The primary purpose of the Chamber is “to afford a common and socialized basis upon which college commerce majors and minors meet with business men in address and discussion.” Method of achieving this purpose is to have as guest speakers at bi-weekly meetings in Library lecture room outstanding business men from Hunting-ton and vicinity. These speakers represent the various branches of business, and can offer the solution to many problems confronting the student. Thus by meetings and open discussions with successful men of the business world, the members of the Marshall Chamber of Commerce con add to their theoretical knowledge a bit of practical information concerning their field. Other activities of the organization include a survey and placement service. In 1926, the commerce students Conducted an industrial survey of the city of Huntington. The survey, used by students in many courses, was revised in 1932, bringing it more up-to-the-minute. Now another such survey is being planned, perhaps for next year. The Chamber has also canvassed the retail trade of Huntington and the tri-state area. The Chamber and the commerce department do much toward placing its graduates in the business world. President of the Chamber of Commerce for the past year was Bill Scott a junior from Talcott. W. Va. Scott served the first semester and was re-elected at the beginning of the second semester. Other second semester officers are: vice-president Virginia Winn; secretary-treasurer, Carmi Winters, and directors, Charles Hedrick and Frank Groves. Besides meeting every other Wednesday for a business session and discussion, these budding businessmen and women get together twice each year around a banquet table. Their banquets are held at mid-year and at the end of the year. Their headquarters are in Prof. Wolfard’s office on the third floor of Main building, their meetings are held in the Library, and their aim is to learn more about this business of being in business ... by combining their energy and knowledge in the Marshall College Chamber of Commerce.

Few of the hundreds of accredited institutions of learning could boast the remarkable record maintained throughout the sports calender of 1939-40. The Big Green’s athletic director. Cam Henderson, with his quarter century or more of coaching, bashfully admitted at the end of the Green’s basketball season that it would be difficult for him to recall two such teams that the Herd placed on the gridiron and basketball courts dovetailing their fine records in one school year. In 40 athletic contests Marshall came home the winner 35 times in basketball and football battles. To wit, nine times on the gridiron and 26 times on the court. All these were gained against some of the nation’s finest athletic bric-a-brac. And so it was. The year 1939-40 goes down as the greatest thus far in the history of Marshall College. At first. Marshall strove for recognition in the very state of West Virginia. That mark easily attained, the Herd athletic machines fought to be noticed in the Mid-Atlantic region. It could be a matter of going on like this for pages. Marshall college was recognized nationally in both her major athletic fields. But let us tell you about them: In the spring of ’39, Cam Henderson practically asked for the pressure to be put on him and his men as far as football was concerned. After completing successful March and April grid drills, the gaunt leader pronounced this outfit as definitely improved over the ’38 squad. General and indefinite as that statement might sound, this was proof enough that Marshall was expected even by its own mentor to have a representative eleven fielded the following fall. That’s because, like all human beings coaching this crazy game, Cam was wary of going too far out on a limb in the way of prognostication at any time. On September 4th the first full practice was conducted along with the introduction to the squad of 28, of Backfield Coach, Joe Pease, and Frosh Coach, Farley Bell— both men who hod played under Henderson during his reign at D. and E. Pease, colossal in every department. Bell, a fine handler of youngsters, as adjudged by his fine record at Victory High at Clarksburg. . . .

'twas the afternoon that little John Kerr Whitfield came into the world . . . true, that expression changed numerous times that evening . . . that was that torrid Xavier basketball tiff . . . Whit . . . Fans hoping against hope that the Green would be better protected to help weather the storm that was to come, were slightly disappointed. They had hoped, of course, to find if not a more able Ixxlied crew, at least a squad exceeding 30. Henderson now had his work cut out for him. Whereas he had hardly been able to field a full team of eleven capable performers in the previous years 5-4-1 so-so slate, he now felt sure that not only did he possess the required amount for a good first team, but that perhaps he could muster a second club to spell the first when the occasion warranted his doing sc—and did it! With the Geneva Covenanters to pry the lid off an eleven-game program—Geneva to be met on the 23rd—there was work to be done. The squad was to find out later that the stiff pre-season grind was to pay off in rich dividends. Good news just prior to the opener: “Adkins clicks at end: Mahoney coming along at full; Hunt and Ulinski are sophs coming through. But on the other side of the ledger. Co-captain Boot Elkins came up with a severe abdominal injury sure to sideline him for the opener, and Henderson vented his wrath at the Herd's blocking which was to improve steadily.

It would be more dog days for the Marshall College footballers, thought many. But little did they realize that Henderson was purposely employing defense unorthodox to his system, that of the 6-2-2-1. It took some time before most everybody caught on. But still, they felt the Herd didn't look as promising as the mob would have liked them to look. This passer, Byron Morgan of the Covenanters, knifed the Green defense too often. It would up 41-13 in our favor, anyway. Geneva happened to be a doggoned good opening foe, that was all. They turned to V.P.I. What! So early in the season? To town come the Gobblers, and the pre-game hoopla really resembled Turkey Left, “Elk . . . the human locomotive from Hamlin made superlative efforts possible from his teammates . . . what aspirit . . . the perfect co-captain!!

A giant line rushed an injured Jack Hunt before he had an opportunity to do much l esides quick kick and even that job was a rush act. In this epic struggle. Tech played the breaks using George Warriner, all-Virginia back, as its main piece of offensive machinery. On a muddy field, Warriner punted the Herd into precarious situations time after time. The Herd responded with a somewhat similar plan of attack, mixing it up with a few spins, a couple of attempts through the air. The half ended with no score, and it didn't look as if there would be any for the rest of the evening. On edge, the nervous crowd ’neath various protections from the new intermittent showers, watched a Techman kick off. Interference, wedgelike, formed in front of a Herd back, hardly discernible. The mud had quickly obliterated even familiar figures, let alone numbers. The stocky one caught the ball on his own five, nestled it in his arms and flew away—despite the mud. The crowd, stunned momentarily, held their breaths before they realized that—that Co-Captain Boot Elkins was on his way for a touchdown behind perfect interference. Into the hero’s role stepped a red-headed end, Clyde Underwood, hampered by lack of size, injuries, and a rasher of hard luck for the previous two years. On a reverse play ‘’Sonny Ellison fumbled for Tech, and fellow Beckleyite Underwood snared it before the Gobblers knew that their teammate had allowed the greasy ball to slip from his fingers. That was deed good enough to assure the redhead immortality for a week, anyway. But, no, that wasn't enough. In an ensuing renewal of the punting duel, Hunt booted the ball to the Tech 34. On the first ploy, the Gobbler's repeated the procedure—that is, attempted to. The ball never advanced beyond the 34 in the next series of plays, because Underwood blocked the kick and the Thundering Herd was about to roll to their next touchdown. On the first play of the fourth. Hunt went over from the two after a short march. The Herd made sure that they were going to quell the Techmen with finality. They marched right after the next kickoff and three minutes later had their third touchdown and the ball game. With Bob Adkins adding two conversions, it was . . . the best ball game ever seen in Fairfield . . . that's Zach putting us in the van temporarily against Wake Forest . . . Morlock holding . . .

Curfew did not ring that night In the matter of touchdowns, curfew never did stop ringing the next week either. On October 7th. Marshall administered the worst licking any opponent received ell season. Coach Ed Davis’s scrappy Salem Tigers were unclawed somewhere between the week of the Tech tiff and October 7th. The Herd ran the whitewash off the Salem goal line, tallying ten touchdowns, and piling up 64 points The big siege” was on. From here on in there were to be no low hurdles. It was Miami. Dayton, and Scranton in quick order and all to be played on foreign soil. Then the prospect of Wake Forest and Toledo at home, following the previous course! The Big Green was to play one of its most enigmatic games of the season at the Redskins’ stadium the afternoon of the 14th. To the average onlooker not particularly acquainted with the situation, the Green would impressed said observer as a very ordinary eleven with good prospects for finer things. In other words. the20-0 victory registered by the Green looked like an early season start. The Herd appeared three weeks behind time. At times they pierced the Redskin line at will. At others, passing had to be resorted to forestall possible disaster. Miami employed a tricky offensive shift and a modified five-man line with a unique secondary formation that at times baffled the Green.

Plus dandy performances by Roberts and “Cub Cox along the front line and a neat hole individually provided for Jack Morlock’s six point contribution by Jack Peters at tackle. On October 21 with Marshall’s largest fan contingent of the season following the team, the stage was set at Dayton for another thrill-packed fiasco. The final, to save you further suspense, was of course. 19-13, in Marshall’s favor. The Flyers didn’t quite get off the ground in the first half, and with the Herd in the Van. 13-0. it looked like a bree e. Not long after the first session had commenced, a boot by Hunt forced Dayton back on their own 27.

On the first play of the second period Hunt scored from the Dayton 10. Paul Kendrick made the conversion good: it was Marshall 13. Daytcn, O. But all too soon. A Dayton threat was squelched in the latter part of the second stanza, and the Green started marching toward another, only to have Jack Hunt fumble on the Flyers’ four as the gun went off. The fumble must have been the hex that engulfed the Herd for the next 25 minutes. Great Dayton end Larry Knorr. recovered a Green fumble on the latter’s 35 in the third. The backs brought it to the 25 for a first dow n. and from here, on that tricky Notre Dame sweep. Ed Marre uncorked a wobbly heave that fell in to the outstretched arms of Hughie Scott, nailed it on the three with Morlock clasping vainly to his white jersey. But Scott dragged Jack over the goal line with him and Day-ton had its first sixer. Tom Glick missed the conversion and that was the Herd’s first break. But was it! The Herd was offside. Glick got another try. and this time made it true. Dayton seven instead of six. . . Knifing through the wilting line. Bob Riedel and Padley carried it to the 20. Fourth down with inches to go. What to do. men? That’s the one. Padley took it from Center Dune Obee, started wide, faded, then unleashed a wild one into the end zone, with a mass of Marshall Green’s and Dayton White’s awaiting the ball’s arrival to the turf. But Quarter, Jean Stapenhorst, twisted himself high into the air and snagged it. An unbelievable lean, an unbelievable catch! Score tied! With minutes to go, Marshall braced. Elkins and the pass combination of Hunt to Morlock went into action. The fun started from the Green’s own 37. To the 32 of Dayton. A pass to the Flyers’ 16. On to the six. What happened? On the one with a minute left. In three thrusts Elkins tore over and the Green had their fifth straight. Marshall 19. Dayton 13. Meanwhile, not a score by the opposition had been made aground, so far. Taking their longest trip since the advent of Henderson. Marshall assayed a 585-mile drive to Scranton, Pa. The Tommies had licked Toledo by a point the previous week and were downright confident that they were going to administer a similar procedure to the Herd. They were right. Travelling from a 80-degree climate to snow-laden Scranton. Marshall college got its worse beating of the campaign. A listless first quarter produced score. But on the muddy field made soggier by a high school game that same afternoon. Scranton did something no opposing eleven was able to do all season. They tore the Green line to shreds and blocked FOOTBALL two of Hunt’s kicks. Both resulted in touchdowns. The Green might just as well have walked off the field after the first one. They must have played out their string in the breath taking drive against Dayton. With two made in the second perird, the game became a farce in mud. Scoring on a pass to end Tomasello, was an anticlimax. The less said the better. Scranton 20. Marshall O. A mammoth line, and an ordinary backfield weakened by injuries—Scranton. Coach Tom Davies had his secondaries waylaying Punter Hunt with a muddy hall to kick. The reversal of form was terrific. Dad’s arc wonderful things, and per haps they helped that history-making November 5 (Dad’s Day) at Fairfield stadium against Wake Forest. Fans were to see the best football game—the classiest—the cleanest—the. the--------- After a first quarter in which Marshall held the upper hand, Morlock went over in the first part of the second. Marshall 6. Wake 0. Looked good. After the second half kickoff. Morlock scampered from his own 26 to the 35. The 37. And there went Hunt right down the middle on a delayed buck for 44 yards, down to the Carolina 19. Oh baby! Quickly, a flat pass from that old reliable Hunt into the sinewy arms of Morlock. Dumbfounded, the whole Wake Forest defense scratched their noggins and actually watched Jack go over. Zach converted. Thirteen—zero. As if they had waited for the Big Green to spot themselves a 13-point margin, the Demon Deacs started to go to work from here. On to the scene came the barrell-chested Wake Forest soph—Polanski. Forming his own intcrefence he proceeded to smash the Green line to smithereens. Yes. one score, but the Marshall number wasn’t up yet. Polanski, off tackle . . . Skirting ends . . . Down the middle . . . Polanski . . . Wake Forest 7. Marshall 13. And that’s all there was to it. What more can we sav. Wake Forest won out. 14-13. Toledo had but one defeat and that a one-point decision at Scranton. After the sensational type game the previous week the Toledo fray seemed a sort of let down. It was really a great struggle all the way through, though. Marshall's air attack clicked with more precision than the Rockets', mainly because the Ohioans couldn’t get receivers fleet enough to get down under Bob Nash's bullet-like heaves. The Herd, in the first scored two. before the Toledoans knew exactly what happened. Hunt tossed the “Bull” and that was one. And then Soph Kuhl caught another on the Rockets’ three.

Toledo's two touchdowns by Billy Beach were not flavored with conversions. Marshall won 14-12. Marshall didn't wait long to score against Xavier, the next opponent, but neither did the Muskies of Cincy. It was 7-6 when Jim Rees' placement was blocked by an ambitious Herdsman. And that's the way the score remained until the final quarter. Elk made them both in the final, one on beautiful blocking by Ulinski. the other on a sensational interception plus a lateral. Xavier outkicked. out passed, outdowned. the Big Green. Final—Marshall 20, Xavier 6. It’s the score . . . the score that counts. Back to Wesleyan and the final tally was 47-13. The game gave Sophs and Seniors, not necessarily regulars during the regular season a real chance to show their stuff. Jess Thierry. Aldo Paletti. and L. G. Daniel were Big Green standbys, just like the others when given the opportunity. The stage was once more set for the Grand Finale—Morris Harvey starting to get its athletic bearing versus the dynasty being steadily built at Huntington. It was a shutout. 27-0.

Yes, it would have been a terrible thing, but why talk about terrible things when they didn’t happen? Just as Cam Henderson tabbed his ’39 edition on the gridiron his greatest since his coming to Huntington, so he was forced to admit exactly the same thing about the quintet that gained national recognition during the season just passed. Not only that, but he and everyone else who had been fortunate enough to observe most of Henderson’s athletic machines during his long tenure both at D-E and Marshall, agreed, en masse, that this was his finest aggregate placed on the hardwood As was to be expected that same argument as to whether the Buckeye champs of 1937-8 were superior prevailed, yes—but not for very long. From that '37 outfit, the Big Green retained Jule Rivlin, Aldo Faletti, Yost Cunningham, and Jack Morlock. The latter two had developed into real stars the following year. Rivlin had shone ever since his sophomore season. Along with that, Juniors Roger Tricot and Harold McCloud answered the opening call for practice. The outlook appeared quite brilliant for the first half of the season— if Jack Morlock was to report following a rigorous football campaign that saw him painfully injure an arm that was absolutely essential to his scoring. But Morlock reported, and shot just about as well with a stiff right arm as he ever had before. Henderson simply would have to find one of his yearling crew to replace Morlock later on to go down that difficult right lane. He had Jimmy Treacy, local star; ambling, lantern-jawed Joey Morecraft; and Danny Benda, to choose from Of course ”01’ Auk”—Aldo Paletti was still around to aid if need be. and he certainly was to help later on. The gaunt, knock-kneed kid who will co-lead next year's outfit, Roger Tricot . . . the best long shot and foul shot . BASKETBALL On the rocky road to the north, the 16thbrougn� the Green against their time-honored initial rival, the Salem Tigers. The game, generally looked upon as a warmer-upper, proved that, but Salem was to show what they really had later on. Marshall 63. the Bengals 36. Scoring was neatly distributed, too. Morlock was still having difficulty finding the range, but after all, it took time to loosen up his closely bunched muscles for this game where a guy’s just had to be the acme of relaxation. Everybody was in on the scoring shindig even the “Wildcat. One down, seven to go on this jaunt. At this point, by the way, let us take time out to tell you that if ever the Herd was to realize its full potentialities it was this past season. Since the greatest star and the nucleus of the great club was to be graduated, the time was ripe for recognition. New York is. no doubt, from whence the recognition springs, all of which gets us a bit ahead of our story. A rest for a night, and then the Herd headed for Roanoke, to avenge three previous defeats, the latter two, heartbreakers of the '38-39 season when the fabulous Five Smart Boys handed the Herd it's lone home loss of the season with a last-second goal. The Thundering Herd chugged out of the southern climes up to wintry Baltimore for another annual to-do with respected Loyola College, one of the cleanest, hard-fight-inest crews to be met all season. But it was the same old story. The quick break and set plays crushed every threat of the Greyhounds. The Herd was given its first scare, however. Something that was to temper their play. Something they needed. Too many breezes would sate them, tighten them up. There was no sense alibiing about the home floor. In fact, the Big Green showed its best form on the road all season, never once realizing their peak at Vanity Fair The score at half was 29-20. Cam read ’em the riot act. Well that was that.

Or anyway just across the river. Here, against Newark U, they were to suffer a terrifying experience. In a band box arena, prevalent to the Met sector, the Herd could not function properly. Their fast break was stymied. Everytime, they would start to break, there never would be enough room. Newark at the half—25-22. Orthodox play was making adherents of this style beam brightly. Cam bellowed, Mack, you're loafing:!! Uood-by, Newark. Yes sir. those between-half-sessions. worked wonders. The Herd started their attack a little later than usual. Planned their set plays more carefully. Then at the ripe time struck home with the quick break. timed perfectly. The crowd started pulling for the Herd.

Nevertheless, it didn’t look so hot. Here was Newark, a team rated below St. Francis and City giving the Herd qualms. And then in all the excitement, McCloud cropped up with the season’s first injury, a bad knee. Morlock was straightening out his arm, thank you. Little did the Herd realize how much this game meant to the Brooklyn Terriers. They were actually laying” for the Herd. They had trounced the Green handily the previous year, 45-33, with Rivlin hardly able to walk. The Herd needed that lengthy surface to make the break operate. Oh. what. fun. with even screeching ref. Pat Kennedy, on hand. Here was the one. case of two during the season that Marshall outplayed its foe. and was sickeningly defeated. The score at halftime was 26-23, and truthfully, St. Francis looked like a beaten BASKETBALL BASKETBALL quintet, but the Herd revealed a weakness that was to dog them throughout the remainder of the campaign and cause the loss to Panzer. A second-half letdown, good enough for defensively minded St. Francis to down the Herd. 41-38. Poor Mack had a tough evening, being severely manhandled. But a defeat served to spur them on to their greatest effort of the season. Nat Holman, basketball's premiel teacher, watched the proceedings as the Herd went down. He may have been impressed, but he couldn't impress his impression on the experts. The Marshall game would simply be used as a primer for City's battle against Santa Clara the following Saturday. Yes, siree. the Big Green made a nice piece of prime meat of City college, and not only that but created such a furore that all observers will remember it to their dying day. It wasn't reasonable for Marshall to swamp feds heli fiURule's boots. . . City in view of the Lavender’s victory over St. Francis. When the Herd quickly crept into on imposing lead the crowd grew restless. When the score at half read: Marshall 27, City 10, they were popeyed. The Herd could do no wrong that night, especially Jack Morloclc, who waited until he got to the Big Town to put in the greatest night of an already brilliant athletic career. Morlock broke the all-time scoring record on City’s home court previously held by two Beavers, scoring 26 points—as much as the whole City team could garner. From every angle, with right and left hand the McKeesport Marvel, cut the cords without even skimming the rim.

Watta night! Oh yes—60-26. Quoth the New York Times scribe: I've never seen anything like it in all my life! P. S. The Times is a conservative paper. The Herd mixed their St. Francis and City form going against Panzer Panthers, so feared in this territory that many top-notchers refused to meet them. They'd lost but one of 21 last winter and that a sec-saw thing against LIU's '38-39 champs. A packed Elizabeth. N. J, Armory, took the Herd into their graces from the moment the spotlight was thrown on the first green-jersied player who scampered across the hardwood for introduction. A six foot-eight-inch pivot—Herman Knupple, aided in the tiring process, but while he loafed back on defense the Herd scored. It was 31-29 at half and anybody's boll game. Danny Benda . . full of youthful fervor and abandon ... a bright prospect and “dark horse” The Herd kept right on going from where it left off at the half. With five minutes to go, they had an eight point (47-39) lead. But then things started to happen. Morecraft. who had replaced Morlock earlier went out on personals. Morecraft's height had come in handy in stopping the giant Knupple. Two minutcs-54-54. The Panthers started breaking through, clamping down on the Green. Of a sudden they regained their shooting eyes collectively. The Herd tired. Rivlin. with 50 seconds to go was injured on a figure-8 play, and the crowd broke loose with a tumultous yell, when he arose. But the Herd was beaten.

Giants, typifying the very redwood trees of their state, raced down the floor, pouring ’em through with one hand from either side. California's fast break, with attack shifting from one man to another—a floating offense, befuddled the Herd, who paused long enough to get in few fast breaks of their own. The Golden Bears, very much at home went ahead at half, 22-20, and looked the superior-outfit. And yet Morecraft was filling the Morlock breach well, and Riv was outdoing himself despite the hurt. But Big Stuff Ogilvie was still in there and the height advantage stopped many prospective shots. Just as fouls put out one too many Californians, so the Herd received opportunities to score from the free throw line. With a second to go Joe Morecraft. working the pivot, sunk one cleanly and the score was 43-43, with the regulation time already having elapsed. While the Herd looked sloppy in scoring at- Robbie . . . making himself into tcmPts he tS? 8«ve them new spark Almost a great football player ... and try- mechanically, they thumped the Bears in the extra ing to become just a fair basketball period. 51-47.

The home stretch was conspicuous only in that the Herd sought to better previous records in victories, points made, etc. Also, they had their eye on a bid to the Invitational Tourney in New York. The ovation handed out to the seniors as they trooped off the floor for the last time had many in sincere tears. Jule Rivlin had the crowd cheering so. that the game had to be halted momentarily. The greatest of all players had passed from the Big Green basketball picture. Marshall college is on its way toward national recognition in basketball. There is no doubt of that.

BASKETBALL _!7S_ INTRAMURAL SPURTS The average Marshall college student, unlike his fellows at other institutions, is not content with remaining on the sidelines, admiring the exploits of proficient varsity athletes. Said students may have felt that some 10 years ago, before the inception of the largest intramural program for a college its size; but not now. Paradoxically, with the rise of Marshall’s intercollegiate athletic prestige, has come a boom in intramural sports. It all started a decade ago when a towheaded little Dakotan fresh from successful moss athletic participation organizings, came to this campus. He is more formally known as Prof. Otto A. Gullickson, of the physical education department, but answers more readily to “Swede. When “Swede brought his organizing powers to Huntington. Marshall not only did not have an intramural department, but had little or no facilities to start one. Our protagonist wasted few words and immediately gathered all equipment, makeshift or otherwise to start the ball rolling The result the hrst year was indeed heartening. In 1930 the department registered 53.3 “ . . . ONE HUNDRED PER CENT PARTICIPATION!!! . . . 'Swede' ...” Some sceptics have scoffed repeatedly at this yearly display of enthusiasm but they have been the detriment of the department and are living to regret their waggish remarks. When Swede declared the year’s intramural slogan to the “100 per cent participation , he was assuming the role of a fairly accurate seer. At this stage, participation is well over 90 per cent, with last year’s mark of 31 activities certain to be passed. The major sports round which the activities are built up. arc. admittedly, touch football, basketball, and softball The first pivotal sport, touch football, commenced the last week in September, in a week that was conspicuous in low scoring and field goals.

At mid-season as the Powerhouse was romping toward a smashing triumph, in one afternoon 176 men took part in some one sport. This broke on all-time high for a single afternoon’s activity. And as if this wasn't enough, the Powerhouse must have established some sort of record by massacring a team, 50-0. In the last week of October, the Powerhouse of League 'B swept to its loop’s championship without a defeat, while Phi Kappa Nu clinched leader-shio in the Frat league by defeating Kappa Alpha, when Bill Scott drop-kicked a three-pointer over the crossbar. On November 3, both clubs met for the 1939 diadem, and although PKN fought thrillingly oil along, the Powerhouse was just about what its name implied. It blasted 24 points across the goal line, hardly giving Phi Kappa Nu time to catch their collective breaths. The all-intramural team selected by the board; ends—Hicks. PKN. and Smith. CK; tackles—Stewart and Morecroft. Powerhouse; guards—Wilkinson, KA. and Clovis. PKN; center—Russell. Powerhouse; back—Fogg. KA; McCloud. Powerhouse; Childers, Woopitchers; and Scott, PKN. Almost simultaneous with their triumph on the gridiron come word that the Powerhouse had copped the volleyball title also by defeating Kappa Alpha fraternity in scores of 15-11. 15-12, and 15-10. The next scheduled event on the program was one in which the Powerhouse. for a change, did not dominate. A little sophomore with an enormous pair of lungs vanquished all who threatened his hold on the cross country title. Sammy Franzcllo of Duo, for the second straight year won the event, a two-and-one-eighth mile journey with hazards. His time was 14:06.5, less than two minutes shy of the record set by John Rowsey in 1934 with 12:34. The Ramblers won the team championship by one point over Phi Kappa Nu, 14-15. The men’s tennis singles held every fall, saw two newcomers enter the finals. Rodney Wolfard, outstanding local player, met stocky Campbell Hage. Both freshmen. Wolfard’s superior tournament experience gave him a well-earned triumph over Hage. 6-0, 6-2, 6-4.

Again, the department registered a record entry when out of 68 tossers. Gene Martin and Walt Galloway worked their way down to the finals. Martin, a freshman, won easily. 21-11, 21-10. In the annual checkers tourney Forrest Parsons defeated Abe Kozer in three straight games. At the present time the department is conducting a Chinese checkers tournament. Ed Seebcr out-“braincd Sam McCarthy in chess. The penthathalon includes a 100-yard dash against time; a 24-foot rope climb; high jump; a bar vault; and five-yard swim against time. Of 310 contestants. Curtis E. Schafer, a freshman, topped his opponents with 551 points, these points registered on a scientific plane, conceived by the department. Just preceding the annual ABC in Detroit, the department conducted its annual bowling shindig, limited to fraternities. Phi Kappa Nu won out easily with 12 straight triumphs. Top individual performances were registered by Bill Scott of the winner, with a 167 average; Bob Kirkpatrick. Digamma. 151, and a triple tie for third spot between Jack Moses. John Henry, and Val Griffiths, of Alpha Theta Chi. Digamma, and Alpha Kappa Pi. respectively. Each had an average score of 145. Remaining in the billiard and bowling parlor momentarily. John Parsons defeated Drexel Lawson for the billiard championship, three matches to two in an event that saw 86 participates. Stealing a march on most schools in the country, “Swede” decided to start the basketball season late in November. The game, enjoying more immense popularity than ever, was a source of enjoyment almost the whole school year to many. Starting with November, the department listed 187 games in which 31 teams divided into three leagues took part. The leagues were blessed with much better balance the whole season and while there were some runaways, including a new individual scoring mark, the closer matches predominated. Having begun before the varsity schedule the program extended even after the close of Marshall’s regular season, and the championship was not decided until well into the month of March of this year.

Alpha Kappa Pi sought to definitely prove it and accomplished a ten-point victory in the grand finale over Ceredo Kenova,. 34-24, in the series that so typified the season as a whole. The intramural board as it is annual custom, chose an all-intramural combine at the close of the season. At forwards it chose Roy Nestor of AKPI. and Jimmy Williams, spearhead of the G-P fast break: at guards were two outstanding all around players—Dick Pugh, an excellent all-around man. of the Powerhouse, and stylish Laurel Clovis, of PKN. Guy Smith, who set a new all time individual mark of 53 was chosen at center. Each year the intramural department holds a foul shooting contest, varsity excluded, giving each individual 50 tries at the hoop. For the fourth consecutive year. Roy Brosius, Sutton senior, copped the competition, by making good on 45 of 50 throws. Thus, in four years, Brosius, who only weighs 120 pounds, but is a deadly shot from any part of the floor, sunk 189 tosses out of 200. As the Chief Justice went to press, the badminton singles tourney had just been completed. For the second consecutive year. Jack Holt of the Christian Alliance dwarfed all opposition, defeating in the finals Ed Fogg of Kappa .Alpha. 15-10. 15-5, 15-4. Also, many events are in full swing, others yet to start. Softball is completing a most successful season: handball single will have been completed as well the giant boxing carnival when this edition is released. Other events to be completed are rifle shooting, track meet, tennis doubles, water polo, wrestling, archery, and a host of those easily surpassing any previous total number of activities. At the start of the season. Julius Rivlin, most outstanding Marshall basketball player of all time, was appointed to the responsible position of intramural manager, and Professor Gullickson's immediate lieutenant. When Rivlin’s varsity activities curtailed these duties, Acic • Stewart one of the most intrepid intramural competitors in intramural annals gave much time and effort to the cause.

This plan, although hitherto untried will, it is believed, prove to be more productive of good will between advertisers as a whole and year book producer . The usual procedure of “space advertising” that has been followed in previous year book production, although quite successful financially, does not accomplish the desired effect. That is, to place before the prospective college student a graphic picture of college life in all of its many phases. Containing photographs of more than twelve hundred students, as well as the faculty; a complete coverage of over fifty campus organizations such as fraternities, sororities, and various clubs; athletic activities: and many views of our campus and buildings, it is felt that this book will show in many ways the advantages of Marshall College. The present plan which calls for the distribution of annuals to the various high schools of the state will advertise. not only Marshall College, but Huntington as well. Every business man of Huntington realizes the potential value of Marshall College to the city and community, and knows that by cooperation and planning the student body can be increased. This increase will naturally be reflected in the cultural growth and business of the city. It is with this goal in mind that this plan was inaugurated. While not carried out extensively this year, it is believed that it will prove itself to be ideal with, continued practice. The eventual worth of this plan will � w reflect'd in an increased enrollment and a greater interest in Marshall College. Listed below are those who have, through their confidence in the worth of this novel idea, seen fit to cooperate with the producers of the 1940 Chief Justice.
