Hubert Nash Ward, Hambleton, Y. Va. A. B., B. S. Pi Kappa Epsilon; President Chrestomathean Society. Spring Term, 1 1 ; Athletic Director, 09-10, ' 10-11; Secretary Oratorical Associa- tion two successive years; Captain Varsity track, 10 and 13; Business Manager Murmur- montis, ' 1 1 ; Associate Editor Pharos, 09 and ' 10; Basket Ball, ' 12 and ' 13; Manager Track, 1 1 ; Vice-President Athletic Association, I2- ' 13. Throughout his slay at Wesleyan ' Goose has been extremely popular with the co-eds and has won the reputation of being a first-class student. However, he has not confined all his time to girls and books, for he has also found time to make himself famous in football, basket ball and track athletics. This tall chap can cover the ground some when it comes to a race. Much anxiety has already been felt as lo what the track learn will do without him. His versatility is extraordinary and we do not have space to mention the various other things in which he excels. With all the honors that have been heaped upon him he is still un- assuming and unaffected. He is not afraid to undertake new and difficult tasks and he does nothing which he does not do well. This spirit of courage and thoroughness will bring him success and honor lo his Alma Mater. Amy Rowena Hall, Buckhannon, W. Va. B. S. Buckhannon High School, ' OS; Normal, ' II; Chrestomathean; Secretary Chrestomathean So- ciety, Winter Term, 13. Being impressed by the duty of patronizing home industry. Amy has decided lo take her degree from the college of her home lown. Altho she does not let her studies seriously interfere with her college life, she is one who is always ready to put one over you in scholarship. Her admir- able disposition and remarkable temperamen ' make her a favorite everywhere. Amy has brightened many an otherwise dull evening of both societies wilh her excellent readings. It may be that some day we will hear of her on the lyceum platform. She has a keen sense of humor, but is never frivolous, and her dignity is a good example for many others. She has never allempled anything in which she d ' d not succeed, and we have reason to believe thai she will continue in (he same manner. Her place in Wesleyan will be hard to fill. IS

Alfred Fleming Gregory B. Ped. Fairmont State Normal, 09; Associate Editor Pharos, ' 12; Murmurmontis Staff, 12; Charter Member Debating Club; Member Debating Team, ' 12; Y. M. C. A. President Chrestomathean Society, Spring Term, 13. Greg is one of the best students ever grad- uated from Wesleyan. While he has not spent his w ' aole college career here, yet in his short stay with us, he has demonstrated his ability to do things. Neither is his time entirely devoted lo his studies — he is the biggest factor in Wes- leyan ' s debating team. Since he possesses an excellent delivery he has made contests hot for sister colleges. His is the proud record of having nevir yet been seen at the Ladies ' Hall. Besides l iis he has two other prominent characteristics: among girls he is known as the unprocurable ; among his classmates as the man who never flunks. He ruthlessly turned down the class of ' 14 for the honor of graduating with ' 13, and this alone shows that he possesses an insatiable desire for the best attainable. Undoubtedly great things await him and his success is assured. Mildred Jarrett, Shinnston, W. Va. B. L. Shinnston High School, ' 10; Y. W. C. A. Cab- inel ; French Club ; Associate Editor Pharos ; Secretary Excelsior, Winter, ' 13; Critic Excel- sior, Spring, 13. Mildred is a member of the Harrison County Club by right of habitat. She is one of the most wholesouled, cordial persons imaginable and dur- ing her college life she has proved herself to be an exceptional student and an untiring worker. Like many of her classmates, she dotes on philos- ophy and is fond of history. For the most part, Mildred loves her teachers (altho there are some exceptions, which we will not mention) and can always be rel led upon to have her light turned out at ten. On account of this lat- ter virtue, she has become a special favorite of the Matron. They say she is the most spark- ling conversationalist at the Hall. Being versa- tile, she is ever ready to attack something new, and her originality is unexcelled. Upon leaving college, she, too, expects to work along educa- tional lines. n

Homer Clinton Toothman, W. Va. A. B„ B. Ped. Mannington, Mannington High School, ' 05; Fairmont Slate Normal, ' 10; President Excelsior Society; Critic Excelsior Society; Baseball, ' 11, ' 12, ' 13; Captain Baseball. ' 13; Basket Ball, ' 12 and ' 13; Manager Basket Ball, ' 13; Track Team, ' 12 and ' 13; Editor-in-Chief Pharos, ' I2- ' 13; College Correspondent. Sandy is one of the best-natured fellows in school. Upon his entrance here he at once made a host of friends and at the same time entered into the school activities. To enumerate the many honors bestowed upon him would re- quire too much space, but suffice it to say that he was not slighted in this line. His business-like sagacity has aided him very much in fulfilling the tasks assigned him. Besides being an all-round athlete he, too, is an excellent student. He spends his spare time trying to promulgate to Dr. Milburn his philosophic ideas. A jovial fellow is he and one who will be missed when gone. Upon graduation. Sandy will do edu- cational work for a while and, if fame is the reward for persistence, he will surely make a success in after life. Mabel Snodcrass, Buckhannon, W. Va. B. L. Seminary, 07; Normal, ' 12; Associate Editor Pharos, 1I- 12; Treasurer Senior Class; Ex- celsior. She is mo-t fair, this virtuous little maid who first gazed upon this beautiful world in Brax- ton County some twenty summers or more ago, and who came to bless Wesley an with her un- dying sympathy. She is continually doing little kindnesses which most of us leave undone. Who is there among us who has not gone lo Mabel with burdens too heavy to bear, and who has not come away feeling that there is at least one who cares? She is so gentle and so good — The very flowers in the wood Do bless her with their sympathy. Her record is an enviable one. The love and consideration which her fellow students have had for her are shown in the many positions of trust which have been given her. To every duty she has been faithful. Her society, especially, will suffer her loss, for she is a charming and an accomplished reader, and one whose place cannot be easily filled. She is also an honor student. and professors, as well as students, recognize her talents and ability. With the poet, Cowper, well can we say: Graceful and useful all she does. Blessing and blest wherever she goes ; And heaven reflected in her face. 19
