We have done our best at this task, and it has been our chief desire, that when other school years have been forgotten, the 1915 Muhmurmontis may still linger in your memories. To you who have had this labor in former years, we more than ever appreciate your work; and to you, who are yet to undertake this task, we extend our sincerest wishes for success. TO Luther C. Anderson THE TENTH VOLUME OF THE MURMURMONTIS IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED BY THE CLASS OF 191.T Luther C. Anderson. A.M.. I.L.B.. is a native of Lewis County. West Virginia. As a young man he became interested in the establishment of a school in West ir- ginia by the Methodist Church, and when the Seminary opened, rode twenty miles on horseback from his home to Buckhannon to be present as a visitor on that occa- sion. The interest thus manifested by him at the very beginning of Wesleyan Col- lege has never lagged, and he counts it an honor to be numbered among the friends ami patrons of the College. He is a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University. 1891; West Virginia University Law College, 1896. and has been a practicing lawyer for the last fifteen years. He has served as Assistant Attorney General, a Regent of the West Virginia Uni- versity, and was a member of the 191-2 General Conference of the Methodist Epis- copal Church. His home is at Welch. Memorable Events in The History of Wesleyan THE FOUNDING The first and by far the most im- portant event in the life of a person or institution is its birth. Such has been the ease with Wesleyan, when early in the fall of 1890, after rive years being spent in the choosing of a site and in the erection of a building, the West Virginia Wesleyan Con- ference Seminary was started with the Rev. B. W. Hutchinson as Presi- dent. Altho the number of students assembled was very small, this was the beginning of what is now, the growing and much heralded Wes- leyan College. THE CHANGE TO A COLLEGE In 1904, the Trustees, feeling that Wesleyan was prepared to of- fer better than a Seminary Course, decided to change the require- ments, and from that time until 1906, it was known as the West Vir- ginia Wesleyan University. Another change was then made and from that time on the institution has been known as the West Virginia Wesleyan College. Old Building THE BURNING OF THE MAIN BUILDING Wesleyan ' s .success was not to go on unimpaired, for in Febru- ary of 1905, the tine Main Building was destroyed by tire. The build- ing being so far removed from any water connections, and with such intense cold, all attempts to save the building and equipment were fruitless. Thus the hopes of the Trustees and many loyal supporters of the school were seemingly shattered. Xot to be discouraged, the Trustees and conference, after much hard work, succeeded in raising sufficient funds for the erection of the New Main Building, which now graces the beautiful campus. THE NEW GYMNASIUM AND SCIENCE HALL By her good work and honest endeavor, Wesleyan soon at- tracted the attention of many influential peo- ple in the state, which finally resulted in ap- propriations b e i n g made for the erection of two new buildings, . „ . Science Hall the Lrymnasium and the Science Hall. The starting of the gymnasium was made possible by a liberal gift from Wm. S. Edwards of Charleston. The Science Hall and equipment is the gift of Mrs. Virginia Haymond of Clarks- burg. This building is known as Haymond Hall, and was given by Mrs. Haymond as a memorial to her husband, who. for several years prior to his death, was a Trustee of the College. THE FIRST STATE INTER-COLLEGIATE TRACK MEET To Wesleyan must be given the credit not only for promoting, but also for winning the first inter-collegiate track meet ever held in West Virginia. This meet was held on Wesleyan ' s athletic field on May 30, 1912. All the colleges and higher institutions of learning in the state were represented, but Wesleyan easily won the meet with a lead of eighteen points over her nearest competitor. THE FIRST VICTORY OVER THE STATE UNIVERSITY Such a brace did Wesleyan ' s athletics take in VM2, that even the State University, which for years had been using Wesleyan as a piac- tice game, were decisively defeated in their annual clash on the grid- iron by the score of 19 to 14. This was the beginning of a regular an- nual occurrence, and Wesleyan ' s victories over Morgantown are no longer surprises, but are looked upon as a matter of fact. Board of Trustees Hon. Chas. W.

You can stand among the sailors. Anchored yet within the hay. You can lend a hand to help them. As they launch their boats away. If you are too weak to journey, L ' ] the mountain steep and high. You can stand within the valley, While the multitudes go by. You can chant in happy measure. As they slowly pass along: Though they may forget the singer. They will not ferget the song. 10 Carl Gregg Doney, Ph.D., LL.D. President West Virginia Wesleyan College. 1907 Ohio State University, B.S. ; Harvard University.

Fats, as he is called by all. hails from the city of Moundsville, He is some shark when it comes to mathematics, having completed the Engineering course in ' 13. He is a great friend to the ladies, and. while seldom seen at the Hall. he can be found conversing with the fair sex any time, especially just be- fore chapel. He is also some tenor singer, singing witli the college quartette for two years. As to what he will do after he graduates no one knows, but we believe that his Alma Mater will be proud of him yet.

Her name is Mabel Elizabeth Gay, and she is certainly the per- sonification of all the .jolly good humor that that little word of three letters implies. No one has ever yet heard an unkind or harsh word pass her lips. Sunny, jolly and consid- erate, yet withal so earnest and sin- cere and a thorough student. Mabel has won many true friends at Wes- levan. 23 J. Forest Witten. Buckhannon. West Virginia V. M. C. A.; Excelsior Literary Society; Homiletic Club; Oratorical Association; (xlee Club. Witten came tn us from Mt. Union College, and since liis stay at Wesleyan lie lias demonstrated to us his excellent ability as a pub lie speaker anil an orator on many occasions. He lias taken many prizes in debate, and is. without doubt, a rising Demosthenes. .1. Forest is a married man. and per- haps much of bis good work can be attributed to the aid of a sympa- thetic and loving wife. J. Forest is also First Lieutenant of Company C of the National Guards. He says: If Wilson don ' t take the Mexicans ill hand I will go down there with my company and straighten things out. If he don ' t go to Mexico he will no doubt go to Boston Theo- logical Seminary. We are confident he will make good wherever he goes. Byrd Lea Pickens, B.L., Buck- hannon. West Virginia Bvrd entered the Seminary in the early days of the twentieth century and finished with the class of ' 04. She has already won fame as a ped- agogue. For many years her sweet voice has been heard in the M. E. Church Choir. Still greater will be her success in her chosen profession after she leaves Wesleyan. And gladly she wonlde lerne. and gladly teache. 24 Clyde Shreve, Birchfield, West Virginia Graduate of West Liberty Nor- mal: Member of V. M. C. A. and Excelsior Literary Society. Colonel is a man of wide repu- tation as a pedagogue. He has not been in scbool this year, but has been acting as superintendent of the schools of Lincoln District. We have been informed that the schools of this district have flourished greatly under his administration. Colonel is noted for his ability to uphold his side of an argument even though the odds are against him. We are sure he will be an in- strument of great and mighty power in instructing and training the minds of the future generations in their pursuits of knowledge. May his tribe increase.

Some time during the summer of ' 12 she took up her abode in the city of Buckhannon, and, when the lengthening shadows of autumn heralded the return of Wes- leyan spirits, she was among the first to cast her lot with the noble Juniors. Since that time Gladys has won many friends, both by her pleasing personality and her readi- ness to lend a helping hand to col- lege activities, being especially active in pushing along a good joke. She is a firm believer in VOTES FOR WOMEN, and aspires to th ' . Director of the band. 25 Wilford L. McCutcheon, Reedj ' , West Virginia Manager Murmurmontis ' 14; President Chrestomathean Literary Society, Winter Term, ' 13; Y. M. C. A. ' Mack graduated at Marshall College State Normal School and then came to Wesleyan that he might delve deeper into the great absorbing facts of the world of Phenomena. He was so far ahead of his class last year that by going to school one summer term he gained enough credits to graduate him this year, although he has not been with us, Mack has been attending the University this year, where he will receive, in addition to his B.S. de- gree from Wesleyan, an A.B. de- gree. We feel sure that W. V. U. r oenizes in him that Wesleyan has within her ranks m n who can de- hate and argufy as well as play football. We are sure that Mack will win great renown in his work at Law. Georgia Smith. Buckhannon, West Excelsior. Virginia Georgia has a sunny disposition that speaks ill of no one. She is an industrious student, choosing the class of ' it instead of ' 15. She is a faithful worker in literary society. being present nearly every Satur- day night. Her manners are so phasing and kind that she makes friends with all whom she meets. To everv duty she has been faithful. To sec her you would not think that she was a Senior, she is so quiet and unassuming, hot nevertheless such is the ease. What she will do after leaving Wesleyan is not known. 26 M. M. Brooks, Buckhannon, West Virginia Glenville State Normal, ' 95; W. V. C. S.j ' 0 1 ; Principal Grafton High School. ' Ul- ' ll ; Supt. Grafton Schools. ' 11- ' 13. Mr. Brooks came to us from Grafton. After he counted his cred- its he found he could complete the Classical course in one year. All who know Brooks hate to see him leave, as to know him is to love him. Quiet, unobtrusive, and yet when he speaks all like to listen. His chief sport is playing croquet, at which game he is hard to heat. He is one of the two members of the class of 1 I who arc enjoying the pleasures of married life. Unlike most stu- dents, he always makes A-plus, and when graduated will, without doubt, firing honor to his class. Harry Tripp ett, Buckhannon. West Virginia As Harry has lived in town and has been busily occupied with other duties, he has not been able to take much part in College affairs. He is a member of the Chrestomathean Literary Society and the V. M. C. A. Harry is a profound student of ancient and modern languages. He has taken more work along this line than any other student at Weslevan. Harry is preparing to take a medi- cal course, and we arc certain that he will add much to the great un- known Held of Medical Science by bis bard and earnest work. We wish him success in his endeavors to bet- ter the conditions of bis fellow-men. 27 CLASS SENTLMENT.

Clark Lois Clark Roberta Ann Fe ?er Ronald F. Moist Walter C. Phillips Earl N. Flowers Josephine Clark J. L. Norns Burrows M. Snodgrass R junior rxeminiscences Yes. we arc the greatest organization in Wesleyan College. Not in number perhaps, but when it comes to furnishing a Manager for the most successful seasons in Wesleyan ' s athletics, to putting out the best ear book ever, (you don ' t believe that statement, just look at tins volume you are now reading,) and to pro- viding material for the various organizations in which our members shine, why 1915 lias no equal. What other classes can boast of so royal a personage as a Duke ? Yes we even have an Adam, too. who has aided tin beginning of Wesleyan ' s ath- letic triumphs. Our career resembles a piece of silk, whose- colors change in the sunlight, for with every new school year, old members left us and new ones kept joining our ranks. In our Freshman year, nothing very exciting happened, beyond an occa- sional squelching or two. The Freshmen of ' 11 were busy getting acquainted with the I ewildering whirl of college life and that left little time for other activities. Then. too. the most awe-inspiring of individuals, the Senior, stood readv to check any advances made by too forward a Freshman, and of course our studies came Drst. During vacation, the Freshmen of 11 ceased to be, and the Sophomore of ' 12 appeared as mysteriously and as unexpectedly as one of Buckhannon ' s frequent snow storms, when the fall term opened. A strange person is the College Sophomore — a law unto himself — he goes peacefully on his way unmindful of, and earing less for, Public Opinion. In the course of another vacation, the Sophomore vanished like snow in the sun, and the Junior of ' 13 appeared! Childish things of the Freshman past had been put away. Xo longer was the awful Senior an object of worship, and no longer did we look upon him with fear and trembling and grow cold at the thought of his rebukes! The Junior of 1.3 was able to rise to any emergency, be it the handling of that complex of complex organizations, the Men ' s Glee Club, or in- terpreting Browning ' s poetry without reading the lesson before class time ! Our abilities in the classroom were marvelous! The philosophy professor ' s winning smile grew more winning and expansive as he listened to our wonderful logic and new and unheard-of opinions concerning Psychology ! While in Pro- fessor Ryland ' s classes, mystical and awful were the arguments concerning the affairs of the nation! But time and space will not permit further enumeration of our glories and achievements, and before men will have ceased to wonder at, and talk of the great- ness of the class, the Juniors of ' 1.3 will have — Folded their tents like the Arabs And silently stolen away. while the Senior of 191.5 with all his knowledge and dignity will be in vour midst. M. J. A. ' 15 Harry Adams Stansbury Marshes, YV. Va. President of the Junior Class ; Manager Baseball, Football. Basket Ball and Track trams; Football and Baseball Teams. The president of the Junior Class should hold a high position in Wesleyan, and Harry cer- tainly does. He does not confine himself to athletics, but goes out on almost every line. He is surely indispensable, and Wesleyan will have a hard time to fill his place. Lois Clark Buckhannon, W. Ya. College Girls ' Basket Ball; Chrestomathean Literary Society; Normal Senior Class. Lois is one of the Clark guards on the college basket ball team, and a very active one too. She i-. famed for her deep discussions in Browning and for her •Jiort stories. ; ' 4 Bl ' RROlYS M.

As editor of the Murmurmontis, his ability is shown on every page of this book, and the Junior Class is proud to have the place so well tilled. Duke has proven the right man in a very difficult place. Mary Jaxe Arbuthxot Parkersburg. Y. Va. Member Y. W. C. A. Cabinet; Pharos Staff; Treasurer of Junior Class; Excelsior Literary .Society. In any art ' air of College Life. Mary Jane is one of the hardest workers, and makes a suc- cess of everything she tries. Her sunny smile and big brown eyes have won for her many friends and one verv ardent one. 35 Howard C. Clark Buckhannon, W. Va. Vice-President Junior Class; Excelsior; Col- lege Band. Art and humor, mixed in the right consistency are the two big points in the career of a suc- cessful cartoonist, and Howard has them both. as you will find by looking thru these pages. Clip shows an exceedingly diverse taste in Ladies. Jean Downes Buckhannon, W. Va. College Girls ' Basket Ball ; Girls ' Glee Club. Jean ' s interests are many. She has won bas- ket ball fame; she has worked on the Murmur- montis: and she sings in the Girls ' Glee Club. All of tin iried things she does well. F. Fay Smith Fairmont, W. Va. Business Manager Murmurmontis; Leader of Band; President of Oratorical Association; Glee Club; Excelsior Literary Society; Y. M. C. A. Fays musical ability is shown by bis train- ing the band to play sweet music, a task be- lieved by some to be impossible. As be has ac- complished this, there is probably no task too hard for him. Roberta Anne Reger Buekhannon, YV. Va. College Girls ' Basket Ball ; Chrestomatlie.in Literary Society. Bertie is a true sport, being a hard student and always in for a good time. She is quite interested in athletics and is a strong forward on the College basket ball team. She has shown great ability in tile lines of elocution. 37 Walter C. Phillips Buckhannon, W. Va Glee Club; Director Mandolin Club: Y. M. C. A. ; Vice-President Christomathean Literary Society. Tige is one of the most musical of our class. He not only sings in the Glee Club, but also plays the riddle well. Tige is always in a hurry, which leads us to deduce that he is a very business-like person. Josephexe Clark Buckhannon. W. Va. Captain College Girls ' Basket Ball; Secre- tary Junior Class. As captain of the College Girls ' Basket Ball team, Joe showed that she was quite a master of the game. She goes in for study just as hard as for fun. 38 Ronald F. Moist Charleston, V. Va. Business Manager Glee Club; Mandolin Club; Debating Club; Chrestomathean Literary So- ciety; Y. M. C. A.; Class Basket Ball. Moistie ' s numerous engagements at the Ladies ' Hall and elsewhere, keep him so busy that he never gets to any place on time. He is in on everything in college, especially in the musical line. J. L. Nobbis Buckhannon. W. Va. President Y. M. C. A.; College Band; Ex- celsior; President Homiletic Association. Norris is the only member of the Junior Class who is taking his college course in double har- ness. Home duties and preaching take up most of his time. Doc ' s favorite expression is What can vou do for the band? 39 Earl N. Flowers Clarksburg, W. Va. Class Basket Ball Team; Chrestomathean. Stuffy ' s recent absence on account of illness caused much anxiety on the part of his fellow students, but we are relieved, for he is back. In the first inter-class basket ball game, Stuffy shot a basket. Beside this all the rest of his history dwindles. 40 Normal. W. C. A. Mazie Powers, Moundsville. W. Va. ' 11: Excelsior Literary Society; Y. Our class is certainly rich in orators, and we are proud of Mazie in that line. She is another of our members who has returned, after an ab- sence, to take up her work at Wesleyan. She is one of the three Soph girls who retire to Angels ' Retreat when Miss VYyman ap- proaches.

Winter Term, ' 14; President of the Homiletic Association, ' 12- ' 13; President of the Excelsior Literary Society. Pall Term. ' 12; Y. M. C. A. and Oratorical Association. Undoubtedly Swick is a man of vast im- portance, judged alone from the standpoint of the number of offices he holds and has held. After his official duties are performed, he burns much midnight gas in searching for hidden truths between the covers of Greek and Latin texts. Pearl Berrv, Sutton. V. Va. Sutton High. l v 2; Secretary Chrestomathean Literary Society, Winter Term. 1914; Secre- tary Y. W. C. A.. ' 14. Pearl was never known to lose her temper. or speak ill of any one. She is quiet, studious, and always knows her lessons. She is famous in the Ladies ' Hall for being a friend to the needy, and. as tlie girls say. Pearl would just do any- thing for you. 42 John Snowden Kellison, Marlingtnn, W. Va. Academy, ' 12; President Athletic Association. ' 13; Captain Football Team. ' 10; Excelsior Lit- erary Society.

M. on all week days— unless scheming. He has a great love for music, his favorite song being Sweet Adaline. Adalixe Root, Wheeling. W. Ya. Wheeling High, ' 12; Pianist Chrestomathean Literary Society. Winter Term. 1911; Y. W. C. A. You probably would not think of calling this young lady Snookums. b t that is what she is known by among her friends. She is one of oar most brilliant students, being a star in Math. and a shark in Latin and Greek. A ' s and A plusses are a matter of course to her. Her am- bition is to become a Latin teacher. Louis Edward Fahriox, Pickens. W. Va. Treasurer of the Sophomore Class; Manager of the Lecture Course. 13- ' ll; Secretary of the Oratorical Association, ' l. ' i- ' l 1: Critic of the Ex- celsior Literary Society. Winter Term. 11: President of the Debating Club, Winter Term, ' 13; Member of the Inter-collegiate Debating Team. ' 13. Louis is one of our most distinguished mem- bers. He is a leader in many of the school ac- tivities. His time is all occupied with his school work and other duties. On going to his room. one will sometimes find a note on his door say- ing: At the Ladies ' Hall; Come again. 43 Marie Clark, Harrisville, V. Va. Chorister Chrestomathean Literary Society, Spring Terra, 1913; Y. V. C. A.; Girls ' Glee Club; Secretary Freshman Class, 191, ' i; Cap- tain Music Basket Ball Team. When it comes to fun, or any sort of a prank, Marie is right there. She is always in for a good time, and she certainly can laugh. It makes others laugh to hear her. She is enthu- siastic about athletics, and is perfectly happy when playing basket ball, taking gym, ' ' or routing for Old Weslevan. ' L. Ray Ringer, Albright. W. Va. Kingwood High, ' 12; Secretary Debating Club. Fall Term, ' 13; Excelsior Literary So- ciety; Treasurer Excelsior. Fall Term, ' 13; Y. M. C. A.; Oratorical Association. This promising young orator is a student of great ability. He is a star in English, and has selected that course as his major. Though not directly interested in mathematics, Ray spends much time in the study of the Sine. Louisa Spies, Buckhaiinon. W. Va. Commercial Science, ' 12. Although Louisa has but lately joined our class, we feel sure that she will make a valuable addition. If her ability on the type-writer means anything, she is surely some speedy. ' However, she enjoys nothing better than an un- expected holiday. 44 Kathryn Duerr, New Martinsville, V. Va. Magnolia High. ' 12; Pianist Cfarestomathean Literary Society. Fall Term, ' 13; Y. VV. C. A. A complex, compound sentence, compressed into a happy little girl is our Katy. When one least suspects that she is on for a prank, she is at her worst. She is our midnight revel- ler. whose Har! Har! is a sure sign that something is doing on fourth. William Ray Chapman, Buckhannon. V. Va. Wheeling High. ' 12; Assistant Editor Pharos; Chrestomathean Literary Society; Y. M. C. A.; Glee Club. Ray has made for himself a reputation as a singer. He has a remarkable voice and is a valued member of the Glee Club. His Literary ability is shown by the manner in which he man- ages the office of assistant editor of the Pharos.

Her droll wit and staunch friend- ship make her a valuable member of our class 45 Myrtle Boylen, Buckhannnn, W. Va. Academy, ' 13; Secretary Excelsior Literary Society, Spring Term. 1913; Y. W. C. A. This quiet brown-eyed girl is a most valued member of our class. She thought so much of the Sophomores that she came straight to us from the Academy, without the formality of be- ing a Freshman. She is a good student, and an interested Y. W. C. A. worker. Cleon R. Fitzhtgh, Bridgeport. W. Va. Academy, ' 10; Vice-President Freshman Cl ass, 13; Excelsior Literary Society; Treas- urer Excelsior, Spring Term. ' 13; Y. M. C. A.; Oratorical Association. Since he is neither an athlete nor a lady ' s man. Cleon devotes most of his time to study. When not trying to invent some mathematical formula, he is on the trail of an undiscovered element. Pearl Grose, Buckhannnn, YV. Va. Department of Expression, ' 13; Normal, ' 14; Chrestomathean Literary Society; Y. W. C. A. This young lady is a gifted elocutionist, and her readings have charmed many. We do not know what great heights she might have at- tained in this line, if she had not decided to be- come a pedagogue, and joined this year ' s Sen- ior Normal Class. Sara Nay, Wheeling, W. Va. Wheeling High. ' 17; Secretary Excelsior Lit- erary Society, Fall Term, ' 13; Secretary Sopho- more Class, ' 14; Pharos Staff, ' 1S- ' 14; Y. W. C. A. Sadie is one of our most thorough-going girls, entering into everything she undertakes with her whole soul. A more loyal, devoted student in Wesleyan life would be hard to find. Yet, Sadie loves a prank, and her chief de- light is getting jokes for the Pharos. Claude A. Brake, Buckhannon, W. Va. Seminary, ' 08 ; Chrestomathean Literary So- ciety ; Y. M. C. A.; Glee Club. Brake is a great factor in student organiza- tions. Being a good singer, he is a prominent member of the Glee Club. He is a great French student, but when it comes to Pedagogy, he is a genius. He takes a great interest in mission- ary work and may devote himself to the field of missions. Brake has a great affinity for Clarks- burg. See him for reasons. Lillian Mayfield, Buckhannon. W. Va. Tyler County High, ' 12; Pharos Staff, ' 1S- ' 14. A sweet, modest little woman, with striking artistic ability. Perry shines forth with great brilliancy in the world of literature. The short stories which have appeared from time to time in the Pharos are proof of this. We are looking forward, with great hopes to the time when Wesleyan will become famous for being her Alma Mater. 47 Adam Bird, Buekhannon, W. Va. Vice-President of the Debating Club. Winter Term, ' 13; Homiletic Association; Oratorical Association; Member of the Inter-collegiate De- bating Team, ' IS. Adam ' s ability as a debater is unsurpassed. His opponents stand amazed at his invincible ar- gument. He is striving very earnestly for a Magna Cum Lauda, which he will attain in the end. Adam has the distinction of being the only member of the class who is married. Gladys F ' itzwater, Buekhannon. W. Va. Buekhannon High. ' 17; Normal, ' 12; Chres- tcmathean Literary Society. After having tried the position of schooi ma ' am for a year, and rinding it beset with many trials and tribulations. Gladys decided to return to Wesleyan, where life is enjoyable, and everybody care-free and happy. She is a jolly girl and always ready for fun. She is especially fond of Fr nch, in which she is a star. C. Herman Grose, Buekhannon, W. Va. Richwood High School, ' 12; Vice-President of the Sophomore Class; Treasurer of the Class, ' 12- ' 13; Treasurer of the Chrestoma- thean Literary Society. Fall Term, ' 13; Y. M. C. A. Polly is a very genial fellow, who always greets you with his pleasant smile. He is spe- cializing in science and most of the eminent ( 1 emists are envying his superior abilities. He is a prominent member of the college surveying corps. 48 Eulalia Sink, Buckliannon, W. Va. Academy, ' 12; Excelsior Literary Society; Y. V. C. A. Cabinet, ' 18- ' 14. When Eulalia says a thing, we know she means it. She is a serious young person, fond of her books, and never likes to cut a class. She is the last to leave when the teacher ( Prof. ) is late. She is also an artist of no mean ability, as her Y. W. posters show. The Single Flower We do not tell you what we have done; we cannot tell you what we shall do. Indeed we are just becoming acquainted — and that takes a long, long time. Per- haps we shall be like a story I once heard. From the green and fertile soil of a meadow, there once sprang a flower — first a green stem; then a tiny blossom, weaving its delicate petals in the air. Sum- mer passed. The flower grew — then faded. Winter came; then spring again. The warm winds blew across the fields ; the soft rains fell upon the fertile soil ; and up there sprang a dozen plants, which grew and blossomed in the self-same place. But they were purer, whiter, stronger than the one before. Then cold winds came. The flowers drooped, and white snow drifted down. Years passed. Spring followed spring, as the seasons flew, until at last the meadow gleamed and whitened with the blossoming flowers. The children came, and wondered at their strength and numbers ; the artist came, and gazed upon their beauty ; and at last the scientist came, and studied them; from their deep roots he pressed heal- ing drinks. Their petals were sweet with perfume. Their stems were long and fibrous, and were put to many uses. Years passed. The plant became invaluable. And the people wondered; for they had not even seen the single tiny flower. Not till the meadow drifted white with blossoms, did they pause and look. 49 River Scenes An Incident of 1950 An old man entered the great building, which bore the legend over the door, Wist Virginia Wesleyan Library. He entered a certain alcove and glanced around him. On every side were long shelves of books, ranging in size from mere pamphlets to large, substantial volumes, and each bearing a certain date. On one shelf his eye was caught by a magnificent set of ponderous volumes, all labeled alike. 1917. The old man stopped a passing attendant and asked: What are all those volumes with the different dates? Why, said the attendant, they are each one a record of the class graduating in the year you see stamped on the book. But why are all in this large set labeled 1917? queried the puzzled visitor. Oh, all those volumes were required to hold the records of the achievements of that class. explained the obliging attendant. The old man said no more, but taking down one of the volumes in question, he opened it at random and carelessly began to turn the pages. Here and there a sentence or a few words of a paragraph would arrest his attention. On one page he saw the name Morrison, and farther down his eye caught the words: Speaker of the House — Presidential Candidate. Turning over a few pages, he found Shumaker — Ambassador to England, while farther over appeared the words, Miss Sine — Dean of Wellesley. Choosing another and another volume of the same set, he skimmed over them in the same hasty manner, a few of the random fragments being as follows: Looney — globe-trotter — famous explorer — , Paul Workman — great evangelist — second Billy Sunday — , Erma Workman — Suffragette leader — Mrs. Pankhurst of America — , Quake ' Reed — noted lecturer — , Hosea Smith — Tetrick — experiments with dynamite — blown up — , ' Bill ' Merrells — noted comedian — , Myrtle Boylen — domestic science — New York public schools — . Wimer — astronomer — new theory of universe — , Bill Jacobs — president of airship trust — etc. Thus the records of past and present greatness seemed to run on endlessly before the old man ' s eyes. At last he could bear it no longer, and dropping the books, burst into tears. Alas, what an unfortunate wretch I am, he sobbed, to think that I grad- uated just one year too soon to have become a member of the glorious class of 1917. And then, witli his head bowed with grief, he slowly left the great building. 52 W. Guy Morrison, Beckley, W. Va.

It is therefore with great honor and respect that we set aside and dedicate this page to our friend and adviser. Mr. Shawkev is a Pennsylvanian by birth and soon after taking his honors at the Ohio Wesleyan University, became principal of the normal department of the West Virginia Conference Seminary. Later he became Assistant State Superintendent of Schools. After eight years of educational work, he was elected County Superintendent of Kanawha County. From nineteen hundred and nine to the present time he has held the position of State Superintendent of Schools. He has. for a long time, been a promoter and benefactor of education. His high standards of education are not only of State reputation, but National as well. We earnestly desire that orr lives irav be made broader, and our success greater, know- ing that we belong to the most illustrious Normal Class yet produced by the West Virginia Wesleyan College, and having as our friend and adviser one who stands for high standards, physically, morally, and intellectually.

Cox Treasurer Gatewood Cameron Class Historian Grace Gibson Representative on Pharos Staff Motto — Today we Launch, Where shall we anchor? Colors — Maroon and Black YELL Shawkey ! Shawkey ! Set out to sail, Nineteen-fourteen without fail. Will we anchor, well I guess, In the Harbor of Success. 67 History of Shawkey Normal Class The Shawkey class is the fourth class to graduate from the Normal Depart- ment of the West Virginia Wesleyan College. The history of this class of 1914 had its beginning in the dim ages of the past. When I stop to enumerate, I find that there are just twenty-six of us, or in reality, an exemplification of the survival of the fittest. So great are the latent talents and possibilities of each member, and so well are the different departments of the Col- lege represented, that the world will in the near future hear of the class of 1914, for it will be the accomplished members of this class that will make the world move on to greater achievements. The marvelous success that we have made in the past is due to the work of the efficient and never-tiring professors and instructors of the institution, together with our great desire and determination to accomplish the goal that was before us, only at first dimly discernible. When it comes to chronicling the glorious deeds that we have accomplished, individually and collectively, while treading the path- way of knowledge. I find it impossible to record them, they are so varied and numerous. This class has meant a lot to each one of us in the few brief years we have been together. When we leave, we will break ties never to be linked again, and the associations so real to us today will be stored away as the sweetest memories in the deepest recesses of our hearts. Love for our Alma Mater is one of the characteristics of the class of 1914; interest, sympathy, and good-fellowship abound. And as we leave, some perhaps never to return, to take our places in the world ' s work, we wish to carry with us tile spirit and intention of duty so that our College may be proud of its children, and thus fulfilling our motto — Today we launch. Where shall we anchor? Alice Lyle Rimbey, Cairo, W. Va. Secretary of the Senior Normal Class; Excelsior Literary Society; Y. W. C. A. Alice Lyle ' s path through Wesleyan has been quite Sandy, yet her brown eyes and merry smile have won many friends. Osa Linnell Cox, Cairo, W. Va. Treasurer of Senior Normal Class ; Captain of Normal Basket Ball Team; Y. W. C. A.; Excelsior Lit- erary Society. Osa is well known, and her alertness manifests itself not only in class work but in athletics as well. At the many games in the new gym hall. She proves a real ' Caesar ' of the ball. William O. Hinkle, Hall. W. Va. President of Senior Normal Class; Excelsior So- ciety; Y. M. C. A.; Debating Club; College Band. A deep and earnest student.

Myers comes to us from Parkersburg. She is a faithful student, but still finds time to indulge in sport, especially basket ball. Grace Gibson, Sutton, W. Va. Sutton High School, ' 13; Chrestomathcan ; Pharos Staff, ' 13-14. Am ' one who knows Grace might be easily con- vinced that tlie adjectives, optimistic and witty, had been coined especially for her benefit. Gatewood Preston Cameron, Buckhannon, W. Va. Class Historian; V. W. C. A. Gatie is quite a favorite as an instructor in the Model School; so we predict a brilliant future for her as a teacher, or shall we say as a physician. Gladys McKinley , Harrisville, W. Va. Clirestomathean; Y. W. C. A.; Normal Basket Ball team. Mac. as we all know her, comes to us from Ritchie. No wonder she is liked by every one, for she lias that loving and dreamy disposition which an angel might well envy. William McNeil Buckley ' , Buckeye. W. Va. Vice-President of the Senior Normal Class; Gradu- ate of Sutton High School. William, who has been in Wesleyan for only one short year, has honored the Shawkey class by his pres- ence. He is an excellent student, and a friend to ah who know him. Maud Rider, Dunmorc, W. Va. Excelsior Literary Society. Maud is so light-hearted, genial, and jolly that she captures the hearts of all who know her.

There is a name that is blest of mankind. Hl  Roscoe Ridenoir, Buckhannon, W. Va. Chrestomathean Literary Society ; Y. M. C. A. Wesleyan cannot furnish this young man enough material to work upon, so as a pastime he teaches a group of young hopefuls who are gradually rising into prominence. Mrs. Lillian Maud Maloney, Buckhannon, W. Va. Lillian, though quiet, has made a host of friends during her stay at Wesleyan. She is a hardworking, conscientious student, and we picture a bright future for her. Winnie Hathaway, Buckhannon. W. Va. Y. W. C. A. We must feel her presence, though we see her not. Why should she not produce that feeling conveyed by the nearness of some extraordinary personage? She is composed of dignity, moulded in wisdom, tempered in the fire of learning, clothed in knowledge, and crowned with understanding. 71 Margaret Tate Cameron, Buckhannon, W. Va. Graduate of B. H. S., ' 1£; Member of Y. W. C. A. She is one of our most talented and best all-round members, and we honor her as our classmate. Although she is taking Normal work, I dare say she never expects to do much Coaching in the school-room. Ethel Jane Campbell, Buckhannon. V. Va. B. H. S., ' IS; Chrestomathean Literary Society. Any one who is familiar with Jane ' s work since she entered Wcshyan might know she bad been valedic- torian of her class in High School, and has kept up her re?ord here in class, and Societv work. Harry L. Thompson, Bridgeport. YV. Va. Y. M. C. A.; President Excelsior Literary Society. Winter Term. ' 18; Treasurer of Debating Club.

Or other work of man, save here and there A bark canoe with dusky oars-men. Where Today the city stands, unbroken shade Lay under elm and oak. Within the glade, Since early morn, a bloody battle raged Between the warriors fierce as beasts uncaged. The twanging bows, the muffled groans, the shouts Of savage joy resound the wood thruout. As slowly, step by step, from tree to tree The vanquished tribe falls back, then turns to flee. Darkness veils the scene. A silent band Of grieving warriors by the campfire stand Around their dying leader, whose dim eyes Gaze on the burning stars as one who tries To read the vast beyond. Surprise and pain O ' erspread his dying face, and once again His lips unclose; the dying prophet spoke: O tribes-men true, as upward curls the smoke. My spirit ebbs away ; yet to my soul A vision strange appears. On yonder knoll, Where stand the forest ' s pride, a future day Shall see a mighty hall : and there will stay The wisest of another race. From near And far will come the earnest youth, to hear The words they speak, to learn the precious lore Of all the ages. Our race shall be no more, Our forests gone, our wigwams dust, our name But dim tradition. Already men for fame And treasure cross the Eastern Sea. Our race Is run. I go. Farewell. Across his face A stern smile flashed, and all was still. Afar, Across the Eastern sky a shooting star Blazed and went out. They whispered each to each, It was his soul; He ' s gone. A. F. Haboman.

The old angler usually easts liis hook for the largest fish in the brook, and likewise the Senior Academic class of 191 i did not only seek for the most distin- guished man in the state, but also for the most deserving. And we, like the old ex|K rienced angler, succeeded in leaking a great catch when we were permitted to name the class The Howard Elmer Williams Class. The earlv part of this man ' s life was spent on a mountain farm and cattle ranch in Greenbriar County. After spending five years in the West Virginia Con- ference Seminary, he engaged in agriculture and stock raising. Mr. Williams has served one term as State Highway Inspector and at the last general election was the people ' s choice for the new office of Commissioner of Agriculture. He aided materially in the erection of the New Main Building at Wesh van. and was the first man in the state to give as much as $5000 towards its erection. He has given freely to its support and the name of Howard Elmer Williams will stand as long as the school exists. fO s .

Hear the racket! We ' re the class with brains to back it. Of all Wesleyan we ' re the cream. Seniors! Seniors! nineteen-fourteen. 81 Washington, D. C, Nov. 22, 1931 Dear Editor of Pharos — As you wish to make your next number of the Pharos a 191 1 Senior Academic number, at your request. I will gladly give you information as to what they are all doing. It was a great surprise to the members of the class when on the fifth day of last October, Drs. Robinson and Chalfant, Kiett McKinley, a government sur- veyor, and myself gave a banquet and invited all the members of the class in order that we might all once more assemble, and forgetting the busy world, talk about the dear old days which we had spent at Wesleyan. Chauncey .Smith, the government dynamo inspector, was chosen toastmaster for the evening. Neal. manager of the Giants and Michaels, the second Luther Bur- 1 ank. were called upon to tell how twenty-one years ago we walloped Y. V. U. When the long applause had ceased, Vance told how his W. J. team had defeated Yale the preceding Saturday. At this point the program was somewhat changed when The Misses Hanford. who is a teacher of Modern Language at The Ohio State University. McGuffie, head of the English Department at Wellseley, gave interesting talks on Colleges and Universities as they are today. King then told of his experience with the circus and said that Bissell rode the camel witli great pride. Misses Munsen and Proudfoot. each being teachers in the kindergarten, read interesting papers, telling how to manage a child, and by these papers we are con- vinced that the training of the youth is one of our most difficult problems. Miss Cunningham being reputed as the world ' s greatest lady chemist, upon request performed an experiment, which to us was a wonder altho we had read of her works. After Lewis and Miss King had furnished us with some excellent music, the Reverend Miles gave us some interesting facts of what the church was doing in the foreign fields and in the absence of Reverend Clark, told of Clark ' s work in the slums. Marianna Barnes shows the effect of strenuous work. She is already booked for twenty recitals up to the first of May. when she will return to the mountains to recuperate. Senator Gould took pleasure in explaining the new Vest Bill, which is interest- ing the whole nation. Barnes, the state high-way inspector, invited us to West Virginia with our automobiles. It being quite late, we could not hear from the other members of this great elass. and after many hearty hand-shakes and wishes for future success, we took our departure, feeling that the assembly of old Wesleyan students had hound our friendship closer together.

These events may be either of great or small importance and still be history, for we are taught that history includes all past occur- rences whether it be the buying of a newspaper or the downfall of Rome. Both events are history. Therefore, altho the Wesleyan Academic Class of 1915 may not have accomplished as yet any great feats, the members of it will have a hand in making the history of this great nation of ours. On a sunny afternoon of a late October day there assembled in the Wesleyan College auditorium a small group of young men and young women who were to select the officers whose lot it was to guide the Class of 1915 safely thru school until June 24, 1914 The result of the voting was that the following officers were elected: President, J. Ralph Dawason; Vice-President, M. A. Workman; Secretary, Beulah H. Wheaton; Treasurer, Beatrice Bennett; Historian, Faith C. Ayres. A strawride was suggested and was at once agreed upon by the Class, the ride to take place the night before Hallowe ' en. In expectation of the occurrence of this joyous event, committees were appointed, and many a fellow who always before had been a martyr to the cause cf Bachelorhood plucked up his courage, and with an Ahem and scraping of the feet asked the fair damsel of his heart if he Might have the pleasure of taking her on the strawride. And with a Tee hee and a pretty blush she had, as a matter of course, said Yes. BUT — Ma Wyma;-. said we couldn ' t go; and that settled it, we didn ' t go. On December 13 the Class chose as their colors black and light blue — a very pretty combination. Miss Faith Ayres having resigned her office as Historian, the Class chose Tom H. Brown, Jr., to nil the vacated office. As the different classes of the college and academy were organizing basket ball teams the Junior and Senior Preps met and chose Arno Gould, Senior, manager and Eugene Chamberlain, Junior, captain of the team representing the above two classes. The Wesleyan Academic Class of 1915 lost two excellent members in Ray Brown- ing and Benjamin Carpenter by the former returning to Taylor University, a Methodist Episcopal school in Indiana, and Carpenter, after recovering from a severe attack of pneumonia fever, entering into the race for Superintendent of Free Schools of Upshur Couty. On February 17 the Wesleyan Academic Cass of 1915 decided to finish the second entrance to the gymnasium with triple doors as a memorial to the Class The pink rose and Nulla dies sine linea were selected as the Class flower and motto, respectively, on February 26. Friends, the publishing of this unworthy article sees another school year drawing to a close and another milestone passed in our life ' s journey. We leave old Wesleyan, some of us never to return and the Academic Class of 1915 will, as a result, be mater- ially changed by the fall term of 1914. Wherever you go, whatever you do, think of your life at Wesleyan and remember that your school days are your life ' s happiest ones, and Press on, surmount the rocky steeps, Climb boldly o ' er the torrent ' s arch; He fails alone who feeble creeps He wins who dares the hero ' s march.

Va. Raymond came to Wesleyan in 1910. He is one of those fellows who is always in a good humor and always ready to take an opportunity to do a kindness. He will doubtless hold many positions of honor and trust, having already been intrusted with the very important position of taking the chapel roll. A loyal Cresto and member of the Y. M. C. A. Audrey Ruth Sutton, Jane Lew, W. Va. After teaching one year Audrey decided that was not her work and came to Wesleyan. The only shorthand student in the class. A very independent little lassie, but a friend to all. She has many noble qualities which insure success wherever she goes. Member of the Y. W. C. A. Guy Bennett Clark, Hemlock, W. Va. Guy is very small in stature but mighty in valor. He is a good student and has proven the truth of the saying Where there ' s a will there ' s a way. A neat bookkeeper, besides having many business qualifications which are sure to win him fame in the business world. Member of the Glee Club, Cresto and Y. M. C. A. 100 H. B. Watson, Frank Clovis. Paul Lawrence The Real Hero We all praise the heroes who gallantly go To the front with breasts bared to the pitiless foe ; We all have a shout for the showy end run For the touchdown which gives us the victory won. But, out of the lime-light, the Scrubs on the benches, As worthy of praise as the men in the trenches, Are sitting, awaiting the possible call Of the coach to get in there and follow the ball, For them no tumultuous shout of approval — No show for them, save through a comrade ' s removal; Yet all through the game, as the tide ebbs and flows, Each is sitting there willing to do all he knows. It is easy enough in the game, where each fellow Is given a chance to show absence of yellow — Where the swift pit-a-pat of onrushing feet Plays a drum-corps duet with the heart ' s throbbing beat. The difficult part is, not playing the game, Not the forward pass made, not the winning of fame, Not the hard, brilliant tackle, or twenty-yard run, Nor the gaining of ground when it has to be done. The hard part, it seems to me, lies with the subs — That husky contingent best known as the Scrubs; For theirs is a waiting game, nerves all aflame; They keep up their courage, though out of the game. For instance, last Saturday, out on the field There ' s a tackle, a rip — something just had to yield. A-sprawl on the field our star end lay, by chance Bereft of the business part of his pants. The Scrubs to the rescue! Neale comes in a-tearing — Those Scrubs, to a man, shed the pants they are wearing. Nea ' e dons the pair nearest his fit and goes back, Leaving Snodgrass the ones which have just gone to rack. ' Twas a mischance of fate, to the Varsity boys — Though we must admit it enhanced the crowd ' s joys — While they tried hard to rend our star end limb from body, In showing up Neale, they but uncovered Snoddy. Now, Snoddy is modest, and Snoddy is shy; Not for any amount would he catch his girl ' s eye. He slyly advances to see the game o ' er; The cop says, I ' ll pinch you; get back through that door. This pinching ' s a most painful process, at best — But how would you like it without pants or vest? So Snoddy, retreating, waits not for the moon, But borrows some overalls off ' n a coon. Then, clad in blue denim, he goes to his seat On the bench, where he watches the end of the meet. He seeks to avoid the fierce lime-light, you bet — . And sighs for his pants, with a look of regret. The Bible has paeans of praise without end For the man who will lay down his life for a friend; But when heroes are mentioned, pray don ' t look askance At the Scrub who surrenders his lone pair of pants.

It is to the efforts of Miss Kditha Parsons, Professor of Oratory and Expression that we owe its for- mation. On this day. Miss Parsons, Dr. Doney, Professors Hagerty and James, with a few members of the student body, met in tiie College Office and organized the Association. The officers chosen were: Floyd R. Hanifan, President; William H. Hartley. Vice-President; S. Ross Gould. Secretary; Herbert L. Smith, Treasurer, and Miss Editha Parsons, Faculty Adviser. Only one debate was held the first year. This contest was with Marietta College in our own auditorium. Messrs. Curtis W. Chenoweth and Richard Aspinall ably represented Wesleyan College in upholding the affirmative of the question. A unanimous decision was given to Wesleyan. Since this time we have won two out of three other contests with Marietta. Debated Bethany once and won ; Seio once and won ; Ohio Wesleyan once and won; Mt. Union once and lost; Grove City once and won. This organization is to be congratulated on the oratory and convincing speakers it has developed, who have since placed their names on the rolls of the Great and Near Great.

The clubs, which have been under the direction of Prof. Hugh J. Eldridge and Walter C. Phillips respectively, have shown a high state of development and (luring the Spring made two concert tours which covered this state and Western .Maryland, on which trips twelve concerts urn given. This is the third season for the clubs and they are keeping pace with all the other departments of the College and have been the means of bringing much glory and causing much favorable comment for the school.

On the evening of March 9th. this organization gave its annual recital. It is almost inadequate to say that this concert was a great success. The splendid appearance of the club as a whole, tile goodly variety and arrangement of the num- bers, and the excellent manner of their rendition attracted and held the attention of the audience from start to finish. Too much credit cannot be given Miss Witt- mayer for the careful and thorough training which she, as Director, has given the club, nor was the manner in which the members responded to her directlv any less praiseworthy. Another feature of the performance was the precise and sympathetic accom- paniment of Miss Kathryn Barnes. That it was a most enjoyable and delightful affair was the opinion of all who were in attendance. It was because of Miss Barnes 1 resignation from the School of Music and her marriage to Mr. Karl L. Hoskins in April, that the club was deprived of her services, necessitating the can- cellation of tlie dates of the tour which had been arranged. Girls ' Glee Club Miss Husk.

' 16 Ray Michaels Guy Morrison, ' 17 Frank Arnett, Alumni Director 120 John L. Felton, Coach Much of the success of our 1913 Football Team can be attributed to the coaching received by the boys from War Horse John Felton. He is especially strong on the line and snowed our boys the fine points of playing the line positions. It is doubtful if the team could have gone through the season ' s schedule, which was the hardest ever played by a Wesleyan Football Team, if it had not been for the observance of strict training rules laid down by Coach Felton. Mont McIntire, Coach Coach, Tubby McIntire, also contributed largely to the fine showing made by Orange and Black in Football this year. Every member of the team had the greatest respect for Tubby and his genial disposition seemed to have a good influence over every member of the squad. Although most of his college football days were spent in playing the line positions, still he knew the back field as well, and he directed most of his attention this year toward teaching the squad offensive football and coaching the back field. W. Guy Morrison, End Guy was famous for his ability to throw the forward pass, and many of the touch-downs made by the team can be attributed to him. He was also one of the fastest men on the team, and got away for many long gains on trick plays. Guy was picked as left end on the All State Team. Oscar P. Lambert, Center. Paddle Capt was a tower of strength to the State Champions as well as an ideal captain. He was never outplayed during the season and was again selected as the man for All State Center position. Earle N. Neale, Right End. Greasy Greasy was a phenomenal wonder in his position and was picked by the Fair- mont critics as one of the greatest football players the state had produced. He was again unanimously chosen as the man for the right end position on the All State Team. He was elected by his team mates to captain the 1914 team. William S. Jacobs, End and Half-back. Bill Bill worked hard in any position the coaches needed him The early part of the year he was placed at fullback and later he alternated at end and halfback. He was exceptionally strong on defensive work and also made many gains on account of his line plunging ability. H. R. Lewis, Guard. Greenleaf Greenleaf as his name signifies, was new at the game and by hard work and study of the game he developed into a good lineman before the close of the season. With the experience of this year he is sure to develop into a first string man on next year ' s squad. Ira Simms, Halfback and Fullback Ira was without a doubt one of the best defensive men in the state. He was picked by several of the critics for the fullback position on the All West Virginia Team, and those who left him off of their selections did so on account of the fact that he was unable to play in some of the games on account of injuries. J Herbert Withers, Tackle Although one of the youngest men on the team he showed remarkable ability. He was strong on the offense as well as the defense and could always be depended upon to do his part. He is expected to be in school in the fall and will be almost certain of a position on the line. Ray Michaels, Fullback. Mike Mike could always be depended upon to plunge the line for a gain. He was also strong on defensive work as well as at running interference. John Snowden Kellison, Right Tackle. Kelly One of the best linemen that ever donned football togs. Kelly was picked for the All West Virginia Team, making the third time he has been thus honored. He was also the choice of the W. J. players for the right tackle position on their All Ameri- can Team. 123 Everett Morgan, Halfback. Eb Eb was one of the speed merchants of the team. He was also a strong man on running interference, and was a hard man to tackle on account of his side-stepping ability. Earl Smith, End. Smitty Smitty was an exceptionally strong man on defensive work, and was one of the hardest tacklers on the team In all probability Smitty will be on the squad next year and he will no doubt be a strong candidate for one of the end positions. Cakl V. MILLER. Quarterback and Halfback Carl alternated at quarterback and halfback and showed up well in both positions. He is one of the fastest men on the team and will make some one hustle to beat him out of a regular position on next year ' s eleven. Harry Adam Stansbury, Quarterback. Adam That Harry knows the game of football from A to Z was demonstrated by the way in which he handled the team this year. He was picked by several critics as deserving a place on the All West Virginia Team. Karl H. Young, Guard. Dutch Dutch played his usual strong game at guard and was always putting forth his best efforts for the good of the team. His fighting spirit always encouraged the other members of the team to do their best. Dutch had the honor of being the only married man on the team Worth Shumaker, Right Half. Shu Shu was one of the most valuable men on the team. He was picked as the most consistent ground gainer in the state, and was a demon at breaking interference. The Right Halfback job on the All West Virginia Team was awarded to him for the second time. 124 Paul W. Berger, Guard. Coby Coby exhibited great ability as a lineman and although he had been out of the game for a few years he showed that he had not forgotten the fine points of the game. Coby will be a likely candidate for one of the line positions next fall. James H. Heavener, Halfback and End. Jimmie Jimmie showed much improvement over last year and will undoubtedly be one of next year ' s stars. He starred particularly in the Bethany game when he demon- strated his ability to receive the forward pass. He was also one of ihe strongest de- fensive men on the team. Burrows M. Snodgrass, Guard. Duke Duke was always ready and willing to put forth his best efforts for the good of the team. He was a strong defensive worker and showed that he had punting ability. Duke was given the honor of captaining the Reserve Team. Charles K. Allen, Guard. Hank Hank could always be depended upon to look after his man both on offense and defense. His knowledge of the game added to his natural ability, making him an ex- ceptionally valuable man to the team, and his presence on next year ' s squad will strengthen it considerably. Arthur I. Garrett, Left Halfback. Doc Doc was one of the speediest men on the team. He was also a good man at breaking interference, and could always be depended on to bring down his man. Harry Vance, Guard. Fats Fats had the distinction of being the heaviest man on the team. He was also noted for the way in which he held down the guard position. This was his first year on the Varsity and with last year ' s experience he should be one of the strongest can- didates for a line position next year. 125 The Football Season of 1913 The season of 1913 will long be remembered in Wesleyan ' s football annals as one of the most successful years Wesleyan ever had. When the schedule for 1913 was announced last spring it was conceded by everyone interested in athletics to be the hardest schedule ever arranged for a Wesleyan team. Much of the success of the 1913 football team is due to the work of coaches Felton and Mclntire, to Captain Lambert ' s splendid leadership, and above all to the squad of men who were out every afternoon to work for the perfection of the Orange and Black team. After spending ten days in the mountains the squad returned to Buckhannon where afte: about a week ' s signal practice and scrimmage, the team, September 26th, left for Carlisle, Pennsylvania, where the first game of the season was played with the strong Carlisle Indian team, September 17. When we take into consideration that the Indians had played three games previous to the game with Wesleyan, and that this was the initial game of the season for the Orange and Black, and when we realize that the Indians were picked by many of the critics as the best team in the United States this year, we can well feel proud of the fact that our boys held Glenn Warner ' s husky athletes to a 25-0 score. The game with Davis-Elkins on October 11th was a walk- over for Wesleyan, practically every man on the squad taking part in the game. The game was called at the end of the second quarter to allow the Davis-Elkins team to catch the train, the score being 58-0. The coaches put the squad through hard practice the following week after the D. E. game. In fact some of the scrimmages were harder on the fellows than the game with Morgantown, which came on October 18th at Fairmont. The University athletic scribes had been filling the papers with dope as to how they were going to avenge the 19-14 defeat administered to them by the Orange and BlacK at Morgantown in 1912. The confidence of the athletic dopesters seemed characteristic of the whole Morgantown student body for they came to Fairmont on a speci al train several hun- dred strong accompanied by the cadet band. The Wesleyan students and enthusiasts were just as certain and journeyed to Fairmont via a special train, the college band going along to furnish the music for the triumphal march. To make a long story short, the University lads were not in it. In fact from the first kick-off Wesleyan showed clearly that they had the Morgantown aggregation entirely outclassed, and at no time during the game was Wesleyan ' s goal in danger. When the whistle sounded announcing that the game was over, the score-book showed 21 points for Wesleyan and Morgantown possessors of a goose egg in the form of a 0. Thus the slip up of 1912 was turned into a blow-up in 1913, and the State Championship was nailed down good and tight. October 25th found the team at Akron, Ohio, where they met the strong Buchtel 127 College Eleven. Although Buchtel had already defeated the strongest teams in Ohio, our boys went into the game feeling that it would be a walk-over and as a result of this over confidence Buchtel had the big end of a 9-7 score at the end of the game The much talked of Bethany College Team was the attraction for November 1st on the local field, and although two of the regular men were not in the line-up, the Orange and Black rolled up a score of 76 while the Bethany eleven found it impossible to score. What was considered one of the most important games of the season was played on November 8th at Washington, D. C, between Wesleyan and the team representing Georgetown University. This was the first time these teams had met in an athletic contest and on this account much interest was manifested in the outcome. According to the opinion of the Georgetown coach and the Washington papers, this was one of the best games ever played in Washington, and the Washington athletic scribes were loud in their praise of the work done by the Wesleyan team. The 16-6 victory won by Wesleyan over Georgetown is one to be proud of, especially when we take into consid- eration that on the Saturday following the Wesleyan game, Georgetown met and defeated the University of Virginia, which had already defeated the strongest teams in the south. As a result of Georgetown ' s victory over Virginia and Wesleyan ' s victory over Georgetown, Wesleyan won the undisputed championship of the south. When Wesleyan met Washington and Jefferson at Clarksburg on November 22nd, the Orange and Black lined up against one of the strongest teams in the country. W. J. had defeated such teams as University of Pittsburg, Penn. State, Dickinson, and Bucknell and had played Yale University to a tie score. Those who witnessed the contest at Clarksburg knew that W. J. had a wonderful combination, and although in the minds of Wesleyan enthusiasts the score does not show the relative strength of the two teams, still the defeat is not one to grieve over. The season closed on November 27th, Turkey Day, at Huntington, where the Marshall College eleven went down to defeat to the tune of 13-0. The field was a verit- able sea of mud and on this account fumbles were numerous and the score was a great deal smaller than it would have been if the field had been in a good condition. In summing up thv: record for the 1913 football season, we will all agree that it was the most successful and satisfactory ever made by a Wesleyan football squad. In addition to retaining the Championship of the State, the football championship of all schools south of the Mason-Dixon line was added to the laurels won by Wesleyan athletic teams in recent years. Every student, faculty member, and alumnus, is proud of the 1913 football team, and here is wishing the 1914 squad even greater success.

With such an inspiring leader as Neale nothing less than a winning team can be contemplated at this time. In addition to Neale, Kellison, Stansbury, Vance, Shumaker, Morisson, Heavner, Lewis, Bobbitt, Allen, Withers, Jacobs, Miller and others of those who helped to make football history at Wesleyan during the past season, who will probably be back with us, and getting, as we are sure to do, a fine lot of material from the High Schools and Normal Schools of the state in addition to that developed by our own spring practice, there should be a real wealth of material on the athletic field at the opening of the Fall term. The coaching problem has not been decided at this writing. It is generally understood that Garlow, for four years center on the famous Carlisle Indian team, has been engaged as an Assistant Coach, but further than this the matter has not been settled. It is certain, however, that Wesleyan will have the best of coaching. The schedule which is appended is not altogether settled and has an open date or two, but the important games with West Virginia and W. and J. are fixed and will be played as indicated. West Virginia is met at Fairmont on Thanks- giving day and Wesleyan will have another opportunity to lower the colors that of late years have been so significant to every loyal Wesleyan man or woman.

He was always working hard and made many points for the team by his phenomenal field goals. Capt. Garrett ' s fighting spirit encouraged the fellows to put forth their best efforts. Floyd R. Resseger, Forward This was Horn ' s first year on the Varsity and he showed that he has great ability when it comes to cavorting around on a basket ball floor. His team work was of a high order and he was also strong at shooting field goals. William S. Jacobs, Forward Bill was exceptionally strong on defensive work and could also be relied upon to get his share of the points in field goals. % • w i % ii James H Heavener, Forward and Center Jim played as foiward the first part of the season, but was later transferred to the center position where he play ed a wonderful game. He was an exceptionally good jumper and held his own with every man against whom he was matched. Eakle Neale, Guard Greasy is without a doubt the best basket ball player in the state. In addition to playing an exceptionally strong passing and floor game, he was the best shot on the team. It was his duty to pitch all fouls, which task he performed in a creditable manner. William Singleton, Guard Bill has no peer when it comes to playing the guard position. Whenever the ball came in his direction he could always bt depended upon to get it. He was also strong at getting the ball away from an opponent, and his passes were always swift and accurate. 132 W ft William Merrells, Forward Bill demonstrated his ability to cage field goals and was noted for his long shots. This was his first year on the Varsity squad and he should make a valuable man next year. Harry Tetrick, Forward Mabel was a faithful worker and showed much improvement during the season. He did not get in many games but did very creditable work in the games in which he participated. Harry Looney, Forward Although small in stature, Harry was right at home when it came to performing on the basket ball floor. He was an exceptionally good shot and his floor work was of a high order. X 1 n R. Worth Shumaker, Forward Shu was not only a good shot but was a strong and aggressive player on the floor. He was always cool and never failed to put forth his best efforts. Doff Daniels, Forward Doff was strong on making field goals, however, as there was so much material from which to select a team, he did not get to play in all the games, but with this year ' s experience he should make a regular position next year. W. Guy Morrison, Guard and Center His passes were swift and Guy was famous for his long and spectacular shots accurate, which made him a valuable floor man. 133 Review of the 1914 Basket Ball Season Basket ball at Wesleyan is ln-coming a very popular sport, as was shown by th ' - attendance t the games this year. Considering the caliber of the teams which made up this year ' s schedule, the season has been by far the most successful since tin- inauguration of basket 1 all as a varsity sport. The State Championship title won by last year ' s team was retained this year after decisive victories over the Clarksburg Scholastics, Davis-Elkins and the Fairmont Y. M. C. A., the only real contenders for the championship in the state. Glenville Normal was the first attraction, resulting in an overwhelming defeat for Glenville to the tune of 65-12. Next in order was the Wheeling Y. M. C. A.. which could make but 21 points to Wesleyan ' s t8. The team left in January to play a four game series, the first game being with Mt. St Mary ' s College, which team administered the first defeat of the season, the score being 24-9. However, our fellows came back strong the next night when they met Gettysburg College, defeating them to the tune of 35-19. The strong Bucknell University five next met defeat in a fast and exciting game, the score being 21-19. The final game of this series was with the strong team representing Penn State College, our boys tasting defeat for the second time on the trip, the score being ii-. ' ii. Then the strong Fairmont Y. M. C. A. team and the Pittsburg Collegians were met on the local floor and defeated 89-81, 18-25. The team then journeyed to Clarksburg where, being handicapped by a small Hoor. it was defeated by the five representing the Clarksburg Scholastics, the score being 82-15. After the Clarks- burg game the team returned home and in quick succession disposed of Bethany College :is- ' i(i and Davis-Elkins H)- ' 2. ' i. Following the Davis-Elkins game the team left for the most extensive trip of the season, meeting Fairmont Y. M. C. A. the first night. Fairmont was determined to revenge the defeat administered to them on the local Hoor. After one of the most exciting games of the season, Fairmont came out victorious, winning by the close margin of two points, 27-25. The next night the strong Bethany College five was defeated on Bethany ' s floor to the tune of 40-19. After defeating Bethany, the team journeyed to New Concord, Ohio, where the fast team representing Muskin gum College had no trouble in defeating Wesleyan. the score being 60-40, the men being in poor condition as a result of traveling. The much talked of Michigan Aggie team was the next to be met and their husky aggregation of tossers succeeded in rolling up IS8 points, while Wesleyan was making 21. Leaving Lansing, the team traveled to Notre Dame. Indiana, where the most exciting and closest game of tile year was played. When the whistle blew, Notre Dame was fortunate enough to have one more point than Wes- leyan. our boys having lost what was conceded to be the best game ever played on the Notre Dame Hoor. The last game of the trip was played at Granville. Ohio, where the champion Denison University team was met. This team won the cham- pionship of the State of Ohio and as Wesleyan was at that time in the lead for the championship of West Virginia, a great deal of interest centered in this game. Although our boys were in poor physical condition on account of the long and 134 strenuous trip, still they put up a strung game against tin Ohio Champions, making must of their points in the last quarter. The score resulting in Denison receiving 50 points and Wesleyan 36. After four days ' practice, the Clarksburg Scholastics, who defeated the local five at Clarksburg earlier in the season, were treated to a decisive defeat by the score of 84-14. On March 9th the fast Uavis-Elkins team, which had defeated Fairmont Y, M. C. A. and the Clarksburg Scholastics, and which was recognized as a strong contender for the slate championship, was defeated on the Davis-Elkins floor in a very exciting game, the score being ' Jo ' -iM. Wesleyan and the Fairmont V. M. C. A. broke even during the two games played during the regular season, and as Fairmont had the best record of any team in the state besides Wesleyan, it was decided that the deciding game lie played for the state championship. The game was played on the local floor, resulting in victory for the Orange and Black by the decisive score of 42-17. In all the team won twelve games and lost eight. It scored fi68 points to . Hi by opposing teams, which is indeed a record to he proud of.

March ' 21st the High School Basket Ball Championship of the state was definitely decided for the first time in the history of the sport in West Virginia. The Athletic Association first invited all the first grade High Schools in the state to send teams to a tournament similar to that held each year by Ohio Wesleyan University for the Ohio High Schools, lint the Elkins and Wheel- ing teams had so clearly demonstrated their superiority to the other teams in the regular season ' s schedules that it was later deemed unnecessary to have more than these two teams compete. Elkins won the game after a spirited contest which was witnessed by one of the largest crowds that ever attended a game on the local floor. Captain Leslie of the Elkins team was the bright particular star of the game though Weimer and Radcliffe of the same team and Bachman and Nay of the Wheeling team played well. The team work of the Elkins team was up to the standard of that exhibited by any college or independent team in West Virginia during the year and in long shots as well as in those from the vicinity of the basket the Elkins boys excelled. At the conclusion of the contest Acting President Haught made a neat speech and presented the Elkins team with the silver loving cup ottered by the Wesleyan Athletic Association. It is the purpose of the athletic authorities to make this only the first of a series of similar events held in the Gymnasium each year. Already plans are under way and a letter mailed to all the first grade High Schools in the state looking towar d the holding of a large open tournament in 1915 in which there shall be entered fifteen or twenty teams from every section of West Virginia. The holding of such a tournament will be of great benefit to the teams competing in that it will offer a splendid opportunity to determine superiority on a neutral floor and under other conditions that might not be obtained elsewhere. To Wesleyan, under whose auspices the tournament will be held, it will offer a splendid oppor- tunity to meet under the most favorable circumstances a large number of the very pick of the High School students of West Virginia. It is from the High Schools that next year ' s Freshmen must con-e and in meeting the basket ball players repre- senting any High School one meets usually the choicest of the members of the graduating classes of the n°xt two or three years. Wesleyan students can do much toward building a greater Wesleyan by making the most of hospitality, sportsman- ship, and courtesy when these events are held. 140 ■ g. €£o Z Baseball Squad, 1913 Singleton, c. f. ; Michaels, p.; Reeder, s. s.; Toothman, 2nd b. ; Morrison, p.

However, the team which represented the Orange and Black on the diamond for the 1913 season made the best record ever made by a Wesleyan baseball team. The schedule included twenty-six college games, fourteen of which were played on the home field and twelve on foreign grounds. As far as the home games were concerned, the team came through the season with a clear record, winning every one of the fourteen games. When we realize that the home games scheduled, included such strong teams as Ohio Wcs- leyan, Marshall, Alegheny, Bethany, and University of Pittsburg, we are then able to understand just what it meant to defeat all these teams. The twelve for- eign games were divided into four trips. Ohio Wesleyan, Otterbein. Franklin College, and West Liberty Normal, being the teams played on the first trip, all of which tasted defeat at the hands of Wesleyan ' s crack baseball aggregation. On May 15th, the team journeyed to Morgantown, where they met the State Uni- versity team on the 16th and 17th. In the first game the Orange and Black were defeated for the first time during the season, Morgantown getting the big end of an 8-. r ) score. However, many of those who witnessed the game think it would have been a victory for Wesleyan had it not been for the poor umpiring. In the second contest, May 17th. Wesleyan came back strong, determined to avenge the defeat or robbery, for the University lads could only garner five runs while Wesleyan was making eight. May SOth, the University of Pittsburg and Wes- leyan teams, which had played on the local grounds the preceding day. went to Clarksburg where a game was played in the morning as a part of the Decoration Day celebration. The game was called at the end of the fifth inning on account of rain with the score of 6-1 in Wesleyan ' s favor. The team started on June 2nd to play their last game abroad, the first game being at Bethany, on June 3rd. Re- membering the two decisive defeats administered to them at Buckhannon earlier in the season, the Bethany lads turned the tables on us in a 7-6 game, administer- ing the second defeat suffered by Wesleyan during the season. The other teams played on this trip were Washington and Jefferson, Duquesne University. Carnegie Tech.. and the University of Pittsburg, all of which teams were defeated by the Orange and Black, with the. exception of the University of Pittsburg, which gave Wesleyan the third and last defeat of the season in a 9-6 contest. Such was the record of the 1913 baseball team, out of twenty-six collegiate games the Orange and Black won twenty-three and lost three, all three defeats being on foreign fields. This record surpasses any record made by a previous Wesleyan team, and will be hard to surpass in the future. 144 tracel athletics M I iWmzsw W Wv U7. .;Xj¥;M ' ' ' ' ' W m- ' ' : ' - ' ' r r ' ml Vrnv ' -yiiMift- Mil wmi rMmm;:; ii ' nlJ ' nPlI Wesleyan Track Team, 1913 H.

The first Inter-Collegiate Track and tield Meet was held upon the local athletic field May SOj 191 1 2, while the second meet was staged upon the new fair grounds of the imperial city of Clarksburg, West Virginia, on May 80th of last year. Wesleyan seemed to wave the big stick and wear the laurels during the first meet but last year West Virginia University, aroused by the marvelous growth of her sister colleges, plunged vio- lently into the fray and came out two points better than any of her contemporaries. The track meet of last year by points was as follows: West Virginia Uni- versity. 48; West Virginia Wesleyan, 46; Marshall, 10; Salem. 7; Glenville. , ' i ; D. and E., 1. Fairmont Normal and Broaddus were the only two schools represented who did not score. Some two or three hundred Wesleyan students and Buckhannon people, accompanied by the College Band and the baseball teams representing the University of Pittsburg and Wesleyan. entered Clarksburg by special transport early in the morning partially attired in orange and black garb and flourishing ' Wesleyan pen- nants. Other special trains, carrying enthusiastic crowds of college students and interested townsmen, were run from various points over the state, was headquarters for the many track teams and for the The hotel was profusely decorated with pennants and the colors of the different schools of the state. Upon the streets were bands of college men singing their college songs and giving their yells. The whole city of Clarks- burg had the appearance of a real college town. The University of Pittsburg and the Wesleyan baseball teams crossed bats nt 10:30 in the Fairmont Union Park. One of the largest crowds ever assembled in Union Park viewed the game. Rain delayed the program, however, and the game was called for a brief time while the rain fell in torrents. With this slight mar excluded the game was very interesting and well played, the score being 6-1 in favor of W. V. W. C. Owing to the delay canst d by the rain the track meet did not begin until about 3 p. m. Rain was evident but more than one thousand people braved the tempest. A muddy field and track held down the records but even though this was true some of the records made were better than those of the previous May 30th. It was eight o ' clock when the last of the thirteen events was finished. The presentation of medals, which was to take place in front of the grandstand after the meet, was deferred until all food stations had been exhausted of supplies, when gold, silver and bronze medals were awarded to the winners of first, second and third places respectively within the spacious lobby of the Waldo. W. V. U. was presented with a handsome loving cup as a token of winner of the meet. The individual cup was captured by Arthur Garrett, of Wesleyan, who won three firsts or all of the events in which he participated Had the high hurdles been provided for. Garrett would undoubtedly have won this event, thus giving Wesleyan the most points and the meet.

If I ' d ever find him telling you your eyes were divine he ' d catch it believe me. Jack ' s the dearest tiling, and he has the most wonderful hair. Last night I smoothed it a long time. Certainly not at the lecture, it was when I was telling him good-night afterward, and the way he holds your hand, oh Jean, it ' s simply great. Xo he isn ' t the least bit slushy but when two people care as we do. Oh, yes, we are going to be married when we get out of school. Xo. I haven ' t told the folks yet. I thought I ' d wait a while.

A Hall (Room) Boy 154 How I Knew When the Right Man Came It scared me terribly that first view of the college hall. I had just come to school and I thought I had never before seen so many boys as were gathered there, waiting for the chapel doors to open. I had seen boys in small quantities before but that crowd fairly dazzled me. There surely were some interesting looking members of the masculine sex there. I began to take notice right away. My experiences began from that date, for some of the girls introduced me to a bunch of fellows and it wasn ' t long before I had one cornered. He came to see me that night at the Ladies ' Hall and my but he was a stick. He sat clear over at one end of the sofa all evening, even w hen there wasn ' t a soul in the room. That finished him for me. The next morning I started down town to bring up the mail. I met one of the fellows as I went down, the best look- ing thing. He had a W. on his sweater, too. He walked down with me and I began to think. Here at last is the hero of my dreams. Indeed I had fully decided to get an awful case on him but didn ' t. He walked right past the drug- store with me and never once asked me to go in. I bade him a goodbye at the corner and proceeded on my way alone. The next one that came to call might have been all right but oh goodness ! the candy he brought ! It was one of those fifteen- cent boxes of honey kisses. I was just about to give up in despair when my true love hove in si ght. He may not be handsome but oh girls! He is a peach. He takes me to everything and sends me candy and flowers all the time, and as to the drugstore! I nearly drink myself to death. I don ' t care where he gets the money even if he steals it, so long as he has a plenty. Now let me give you some advice, don ' t look too much at their faces, look at their pocketbooks. R. R.

Can you tell me what is best to do under the circumstances? An excellent solution for your problem would be to take your beloved along to your practice room, and teach him to play the piano. In this way you would obtain the usual benefit from the practice, and at the same time many opportunities would present themselves of holding hands with the pupil, so that your scheming period would not be missed.

I have tried many times, but the water always spills. What remedy do you suggest? Try cornmeal, as it is a little more stable. I am often asked to play for friends who do not like the one piece in my r?pertoire. What would you suggest in a case like that? Ask them what sort of a piece they prefer, and compose it on the spur of the moment. Original compositions are always appreciated. I have learned to play the scale of C.

The refining influence resulting from the association of young men and women is not lost sight of, and many opportunities are given for them to spend enjoyable times in each other ' s company. The new student gem rally looks upon the opposite sex with a feeling not unmixed with awe. until he attends one of the receptions which are held near the beginning of each term. On these occasions those who have not met are introduced. and ample opportunity is given for getting acquainted. Those who think their circle of acquaintances sufficiently large generally have no trouble in finding some way to amuse themselves. After the young gentleman has met some damsel who looks desirable, he usually proceeds to ask for the privilege of calling at the Hall. This is allowed on Monday nights, and it is often necessary for those desiring good seats to arrive early to avoid the proverbial rush. After this stage has been readied, the next step is to obtain permission from the fair one to escort her to a ball game, lecture, or other entertainment, and then comes the greatest ordeal of the whole process. He must now ask the preceptress to allow him to act as the young lady ' s guardian for the occasion, whatever it may be. and although the mere asking a simple ques- tion seems easy to rank outsiders, to the youth who attempts it for the first time it takes the form of a dreadful and precarious undertaking. After one or two trials, however, the embarrassment wears off, and the task becomes almost enjoyable. When the time comes for the appearance of one of the attractions of the lec- ture course, the chapel is always comfortably filled, and numerous dates or cases are in evidence. The principle that pleasure is more enjoyable if shared with someone else is put into practice whenever possible, whether the occasion be a ball game, boat ride, or trip to the nick. Probably one of the most interesting of the numerous social affairs is a ban- quet. During the year several big feeds are given to the athletic teams and the various classes and organizations of the school. These are always looked forward to with great interest, as an opportunity is then given to many a half-starved one of getting a change from the regular hoarding house diet. 162 The Murmurmontis Published by the class of 1915 Editor-in-Chief B.

It has been fourteen years since the Young Men ' s Christian Association was organized at Wesleyan. and it is very encouraging to report that in many respects the past year ' s work has been the best of previous years. Special mention must be made of the enthusiastic spirit of the members for the first half of the year. At no time has the attendance been better than then, and a deep and earnest interest in the organization ' s work was shown at all times and especially manifested in the special meetings. Dr. Lynn Harold Hough of Mt. Vernon Place Church, Baltimore, now a pro- fessor in Garrett Biblical Institute, conducted the special meetings. The real value of his meetings cannot be estimated, but the results of the meetings manifest them- selves most in the general deepening of the religious spirit of the entire student body, rather than in the number of individual converts. New members have been added to our list throughout the year, so that those coming to us will far outnumber those leaving us. An interesting and enthusiastic Bible Study Class has been organized by this Association in connection with that of the Young Women ' s Christian Association. This class is in charge of Mr. I). F. Merritt. who has put new life in the Bible study carried on by the Christian Organizations. Likewise, a very instructive and interesting class in Mission Study, The Uplift of China. has been organized under the instruction of Dr. and Mrs. Don Nichols. In the Students ' Summer Conference, held last year at Eagles Mere. Penn- sylvania, we were ably represented by rive delegates, who brought back glowing reports of the work and inspired in the Association a new and more energetic spirit. Three special receptions were held by the social committee of the Christian Association the past year. This assisted much in bringing the student body into a better personal acquaintance, and has in all. developed a more congenial spirit, and added much to the good fellowship of student life. 173 Y. M. C A. Lecture Course, 1913-14 The course offered this year was tile largest and most expensive ever given under the auspices of the College Y. M. C. A. With the exception of the failure of one of the numbers, the course, from an educational and entertaining standpoint, was a success. The appreciation and attendance of our loyal patrons has inspired the committee to offer a stronger course for next year. COMMITTEE Louis E. I- ' arhion Chairman Thos. YV.

After two very success- ful terms of literary work, the society has started on the last term of the school year with much of the true spirit in evidence. Many events and features have characterized the society work just passed, the most prominent of which perhaps was a mock trial. The society hall was packed to the doors, and many curious and knowledge-seeking members and visitors were turned away, not being able to find standing room. By hard work and efficient service on the part of the officers and members of the society. Chresto. has survived the storm which seemed to threaten on account of the prominence of other student activities, and is still holding her old place of prominence in Wesleyan. Many orators and future statesmen have been developed, and many latent talents have been awakened and now shine forth in all college activities.

Its long list of members, both past and present, contains many names now famous throughout this and other states, and whenever graduates of Wesleyan get together, their conversation about old times is always full of reminiscences of the great orators and the epoch making speeches which have brought glory and renown to Excelsior. The social side of society life furnishes one of the most pleasant memories which students cherish in after life, and members of the society never forget the many enjoyable hours spent in Excelsior Hall.

Early in the year all the vacancies made by last year ' s graduates were filled and a number of applications for membership had to be turned down. Regular meetings have been held bi-weekly, with an attendance almost perfect. All the debates have been care- fully prepared which has been an incentive toward keeping up the good interest manifested. One open house debate was held during the fall term. The winter term open house debate was dispensed with, on account of the try-out debate. Another will be held during the month of May. The club is very fortunate in having for its critic Miss Harding of the Department of Expression. Her criticisms are always interesting and instructive. As to the attainments of the club, we might say that all six of the debaters selected on the Inter-collegiate team for this year are members of our club. Yc predict for them victory, as well as honors for Wesleyan. OFFICERS Fall Term Winter Term Spring Term President Worth Shumaker Ralph C. Brown Harrie I.. Thompson Vice-President M. A. Workman E. R.

The purpose of this organization is to acquire the ability to speak logically, fluently, and effectively while standing before an audience. The club is composed of twenty-one earnest young men. who are determined that it shall not be a discredit to the fair name of Webster. Meetings are held bi-weekly, on Monday nights. Miss Harding has kindly const nted to act as critic, and is aiding the members in developing their forensic powers by her valuable instructions and criticisms. One of the Inter-collegiate debaters has been chosen from the organization this year. OFFICERS Winter Term Spring Term P. C. McQuain, President P. C.

Workman Secretary P. E. Chamberlain Treasurer With most organizations among students the purpose is very broad, and when viewed closely, is found to be made up of a number of smaller purposes, or units, each complete in itself, and yet all drawn together in a more or less perceptible relation to each other. This, however, is not true of the Homiletic Association. It lias but one purpose, and that purpose is a unit — EFFICIENCY — efficiency in doing the work of the Master, in uplifting the race, in hastening the perfect day, in bringing souls to Jesus Christ. Moreover, this one purpose is its sole excuse for being. It believes that the fortune of the nation and of the world, as well as of individuals, depends largelv upon the ministry of the gospel. It believes, therefore, that whatever affects the efficiency of the ministry is of the most vital importance; and upon this ground alone it claims a right to a place among the organizations of W. V. V. C. It has meetings every Tuesday evening, in which are discussed the problems of the present-day ministry, and ways of reacbing men with the gospel, and of elevating and safeguarding public morals. Occasionally the evening is given to a study of some phase of Church history. Church government. Theology, etc. The association seeks also to increase the efficiency of its members in the performance of their work. At each meeting one of the members delivers a short address, which is afterward criticized by those present from the standpoint of the message and its interpretation, and application, methods employed in presenting it, language used, and poise and delivery. This work is proving a source of great good to the min- isterial students and we anticipate that its influence will be seen and felt in the work of many of West Virginia ' s coming ministers.

This year the band has reached a higher state of efficiency than ever before under the instruction of Director Smith, and nothing that has the whole student body behind it can be pulled off without the band. New uniforms have been bought and now the College Band is a permanent fixture on the roll of student organizations. Officers 1918-1 t F. Fay Smith Leader and Director J.

Malcolm 190 The Legend of Lovers ' Leap The infinitely wise old Potomac surged softly past a little Indian encampment on the green, beauty-filled island. The level fields were flooded with maize and game was abundant. The Good Spirit smiled on his dusky people. Down the river, within call- ing distance, an immense, Gibraltar-like rock jutted out into the deep-flowing water. Its overhanging crest had gazed into the liquid blue of the stream almost since the world was young. However this, on the top of the opposite mountains, another stone, with a cloven front, perched itself, and always when the sun was brightest and the rest of Nature sweetest, it seemed to glare and frown upon the peacerul, inoffensive stone beneath. In the Indian language the upper cliffs were called Cleft-of-Face and the lower Hanging-Top. Wenona, seated on the bank, at the foot of Hanging-Top, watched Seconee fish. The Indian lad, suddenly, without changing his position, silenced the questioning maid. The great chief, Onapake, calls his daughter, little princess, he said. We will go, I do not like the ugly-looking cliff anyway, she replied, gazing, ques- tioningly toward Cleft-of-Face as they started home. When they approached the chief, the grateful boy, followed the beautiful girl, Onapake welcomed them, saying: I have a gift for you my daughter, and clasped a string of pearls about her round young throat. How you are growing, my brave, he added, turning to Seconee and placing his hand on the boy ' s shoulder. Then he turned and entered his wigwam. Seconee and Wenona went back to their fishing, but nearer home, because she had said: Let us fish where the angry cliff cannot see us, Seconee. But so often did the lad ' s eyes and attention wander to the lovely maid and her beads that his usual good luck was absent. As he sat and mused a sharp crackling was heard in the brake behind them and an Indian warrior burst through the brush and came to them carrying something carefully concealed in the hollow of his hands. For my princess, he exclaimed, proudly uncovering a silky bird nest, woven from the most beautiful material of the broad forest. When the twilight came Seconee walked home with Wenona and, all the way, she talked of the goodness and kindness of her people. He agrees with her, in all she said, as he always did and told her how much her father had favored him. The boy partook of their evening meal, invited by the chief, and afterwards re- spectfully told them good-night. When he had gone she sat in the shadow of her father ' s lodge and thought of the pleasure of the day until time to retire. They had finished another of their entirely beautiful days and many more would follow. And in this quiet way their time was spent and he grew to be a stalwart, dauntless brave and she, an exquisite woman. But their youthful affection had developed into a natural passionate love. So when, sitting beside the whimpering stream, he asked her 192 to share his lodge in marriage. She consented with joy in her heart But, remem- bering, she looked up at the Cleft-of-Face, caught his ironical frown and with a sharp intake of breath sprang up the bank calling Seconee to follow. When they had escaped from the baneful gaze of the stone she recovered partially from her fright and responded to her fond lover ' s pleading. Their only fear now was that the chief might oppose their marriage. But as the days went by and Onapake showered more and more distinctions upon the young man their confidence returned and their happiness was complete. Only when they caught the glare of the Cleft-of-Face did they become melancholy and lost aught of their joy. Cne morning Wenona, looking up from beading a pair of moccasins, noticed a wavy smudge of smoke lifting itself from the top of the Cleft-of-Face. She imme- diately knew that this was the signal from the Indian outpost placed there, and that he had some special occurrence to report to his chief. A scout left the village to relieve the outpost and that dignitary, when he had returned, remained closeted with Onapake for some time, an unusual amount of excitement manifested itself in the camp and strange rumors began to be noised about. A handsome white stranger, who seemed to fear neither Indian nor beast, was coming along the river, traveling. The distin- guished and forceful appearance of the man had quite an effect on the impressionable natures of the red men and the way he measured the land by the rising and the setting of the sun was not understandable to their simple mind. Hence the pale-faced sur- veyor was preceded by an all-inspiring weight of fear and respect. So, when he produced papers to the scouts, bearing the crest of the Council of the White Fathers 1 ' and signified by the land of the Loid Fairfax whose bounty permitted their future use of the land he had bought from them, he was recounted among them almost as a spirit The next morning, before day, a party of the most distinguished braves set out in the direction of the rising sun for the camp of the stranger. The day passed to Wenona and Seconee as had many others except that the grim stone appeared to scowl more frequently and more revengefully. Just at sun- down Seconee, placing his ear to the ground, declared that the welcome party was drawing near. Soon she could see the horses splashing through the ford. The camp became much disturbed and turmoil reigned. Each person rushed to a vantage point to get a view of the haughty American. The cavalcade opened down the front, preparing the way for the reserved Onapake to greet his distinguished guest. The magnificent, cream-colored charger of the stranger pawed the ground impatiently but his master sat his back unmoved in this princely dignity. The fiap of the great chief ' s tent burst cpen and he approached carrying the peace-pipe. Onapake welcomed his guest in accordance with his rank and placed the first lodge at his disposal. After a brief exchange of courtesy the man entered his lodge to rest himself from the journey of the day The next morning, while Wenona sat with her father at their early meal, the white man approached to within a couple of paces of them, then for the first time noticing the presence of the fair Indian princess, he stopped and pressed a ki:s upon her hand. Startled, since the custom was unknown to her, she hastily drew her finger from his clasp and turned, entering the tepee, but the contact, brief as it was, had been sufficient to fill his heart with her beauty and he resolved to make her his own no matter what obstacles presented themselves. Soon she was recalled by her father to fin ;h their meal and the stranger ' s eyes rested and feasted upon her lcvely countenance during the whole time she was present though he spoke not a word to her. 193 He did not depart the next day, nor the next, as his plan had been, but remained and spent much of his time in consultation with the chief, or with attempting to interest Wenona and win her affection. One evening, Onapake, seated in the fire-glow, called his daughter to him; she seated herself at his feet but she was compelled to change her position for she knew, although she could not see so far in the dark, that old Cleft-of-Face was watching her with his ironical leer. The father began by reminding her of the implicit obedience of the Indian women to their masters and the savage punishments which were the rewards of disobedience. Then he told her he was sure that she would not depart from his latest desire, which he was about to make known to her, since she had always subjugated herself cheer- fully to his bidding. The weight of an intangible calamity had settled upon her during this harangue. Now she knew why. You shall accompany the white chief, in marriage, to his lodge, among the pale- faced brethren, so spake the mighty Onapake, the chief of a thousand men of war. The very nature of Wenona rebelled at such a horribly distasteful match and she declared that she would never marry the hated American, no matter if she broke every tradition of her people. The angry father sent her in disgrace to her lodge and placed a guard at its door lest she should attempt to flee and frustrate his designs He firmly believed that when she was once the white man ' s wife she would appreciate the advantages of her station and be content. Long before, the events of his own fiery wooing had passed from his mind as a matter of no consequence. Why should she not come to take the same look upon the subject? No sleep came to the dry-eyed girl that night and, toward morning, the stillness, which had only been accentuated by her weeping sobs, was broken by the sounds of a light rustling. She was annoyed and disturbed by the unusual sounds. A thud as that of a falling body brought her to her feet in high excitement just in time to see Seconee burst in through the opening of the door. He clasped the maid to his breast demanding if she feared to flee with him. Her answer was beautiful and sweetly simple. With you, Seconee, yes, she said; my father has insisted that I shall marry the stranger in preference to you. He has refused to consider our happiness as aught and thinks only of the advantages of such alliance. I am ready. Were there yet time before day I would tear open his despised throat, muttered the fiery-tempered youth. 0! do not do that. Promise me that you will not harm him. He is still my father, she sobbingly answered. No, I will not; I could harm no one who was ever dear to you; come, Wenona, let us depart, he urged. Farewell my home, my people, she sobbed; I may never see you more. Then she quietly placed her hand in his and, together, they threaded their way through the maze of tents to the river. Here he lifted her into the bow of his canoe and then squatting down on his knees, in the stern, he drove the frail craft with mighty, leaping strokes, through the morn- ing mist, hovering over the river, to the opposite bank. Reaching this he clasped her to himself and dashed up the slope emerging into the broad sweep of grain just as the rising sun illumined old Cleft-of-Face, to them the Spirit of Evil. They could tell from the pandemonium in camp that the village was already much disturbed. The unconscious guard had been found in front of the empty lodge. From his breast projected the hilt of Seconee ' s hunting knife. A pursuit was rapidly organized, the white man leading the troop Soon they had struck the trail. Wenona, hearing the horses splashing through the ford, locked her arms more tightly around her lover ' s neck and smiled her sweet encouragement to 194 him. His breath now coming in sobs from the double burden, and cramped from the stooped position, he dashed along under cover of the maize. The pursuers were short- ening the advantage. Then swift ponies leaping up over the billowing grain. Hang- ing-top slowly swung into Seconee ' s vision. He determined attempting to hide here. But the rock seemed to recede farther and farther into the distance and his heart must soon burst with the effort. Another and another of the anguish-bringing spurts and he was almost there. Then, ahead, a white streak flashed across his path. He knew it for the charger of the American surveyor who had outrun and trapped him. Surely he was defeated now but he did not yet despair. Summoning every particle of remaining force, Seconee sprang up the sloping path, leap after leap, and placed his precious burden on the brow of Hanging Top. As the white man reached the crest the Indian struck him full in the face, attempting to snatch his love, and drove him reeling and sprawling from the edge of the precipice and down through the misty distance to the soft mud of the river edge. While the chief ' s party were picking up the injured stranger grovelling in the ooze Seconee turned to Wenona. You are mine till the end of time, he said. I am thine through eternity, she answered, placing her hands in his. In this manner they advanced to the brink, invoking the blessing of the Good Spirit, stepped over, and dropped silently and confidently into the engulfing depths beneath. The river Spirit received them willingly into his peaceful bosom and crooned sweetly to their sleep. The widening circles spread and on to the base of Hanging Top on whose very tip stood old Onapake, his hands uplifted to his Gods, despondent and humbled. Above, the sneer of Cleft-of-Face had faded and a look of pity and everlasting sorrow was freezing into its adamantine depths, so cold, so gray, so lifeless. finis C. Ney Smith, Acad. ' 14 195 The Dancing Faun Thou son of Epicurus ! light of heart. Who ' mid the woe of years dost ever dance. Seeming oblivions of the vital part Thou hadst in that dark, fiery circumstance. What tales of horror could thy lips unfold ! What happy pastimes ere that fatal day ! Cease, cease thy dancing, nimble-footed one; Oh cast that carefree attitude away ! And tell the secrets of that ashy mold. The awful things Vesuvius hath done. Follower of Bacchus, Spirit of the wood And verdant field immured in stubborn brass. As man ' s own ranging soul in flesh, oh could Thy voice be heard ! Yet messages may pass From sculptured bronze into the minds of men. Thv dwelling was the grandest in the town And HAVE was the greeting at the door. HAVE and joy to him of high renown. The expectant guest, who shall not come again To see thy jolly form for evermore. Bright mural paintings drawn with vistaed scene That twining flowers and foliage enclosed. With maidens dancing gracefully between. And many a myth: How Aphrodite lost Adonis, and the love Apollo bore To fleeing Daphne — stories tragical. Medea ' s treachery and Diree bound. Then living maidens, blithe and musical, Witli dainty feet on rich mosaic floor Have tripped like wanton fairies garland-crowned. And oft they left thee dancing there alone, Happiest of the happy, self-content; While they were to tin- sunny garden gone No longing impulse after them was sent ; And when the smoking mountain, furious, Like some old dragon vomited her gall. Tho ' multitudes had fled and others died And o ' er the city hung a frightful pall. StiH dancing in that dusky eharnal bouse Thou wert light-hearted and unterrified. 196 () Cliild of Joy! Thou Irrepressible! Eternal optimism in thee dwells; The molten lava rolling terrible Cannot destroy the happiness that wells And doth for each calamity provide. That matcheth every earthward-crushing pang With cheerful thought of better destiny: Thou teachest what the best of poets sang — Symbol of tears and laughter, side by side Through all the ages of humanity. Anon 197 The Tale of Jimmie He was little and ugly and uncouth, was Jimmy. Certainly not good looking and not in the least athletic in appearance, and yet he was about the one big bet in Weslevan. There were mighty few contests that Jimmy hadn ' t won the glory of. In football he was sure, quick and clear-headed; in basketball — well, he was so fast you could hardly see him, and his opponents never; but baseball, that was where all of Jimmie ' s qualities shone best. He was the finest short-stop in the state, and we thought he could hold his own in most any place. As to the inside Jimmie, he was quiet and terribly shy. He had just come down from some out-of-the-way place in the mountains, where he learned to play the games we couldn ' t understand, and Buckhannon was the biggest town he had ever seen. Imagine ! Buckhannon ! And to cap the climax Jimmie was a hard student. It wasn ' t long till all the profs, were holding Jimmie up to us as a shining example for our evil ways. But in spite of this undoubtedly bad characteristic Jimmie was liked; he played the game too well and haft pulled us out of too many tight places to be anything but a hero in our eyes. This admiration didn ' t change him a bit, however; he went about his business in his quiet way, but we all noticed his happy little smile when anyone spoke of some of his big prowesses. There was one queer thing about Jimmie, and that was that he had turned down all the offers to offices that were made him for next year. The fellows had unanimously elected him captain of the football squad for the coming season, but he had refused without any explanation. They were just a little sore, for that honor is seldom given to so new a man, and everybody had thought Jimmie would simply jump at the chance. The only thing we could figure out was that he was going to some other college next year, and believe me, that didn ' t suit us. We decided the way to keep him was to show him the time of his life, which everybody pro- ceeded to do to the best of their ability, and some of us had great ability in that line. We set Bob Smith, who is one of the most popular and interesting fellows in school, to the task of gaining Jimmie ' s confidence and finding out where he was going next year. That ' s how we all came in possession of Jimmie Martin ' s story, lumberjack, and world athlete. It was one night up in his own room that Jimmie got started. He and Bob were sitting close up to the fire smoking their good-night pipe. They were a curious pair, those two; Bob handsome, well-dressed, at ease; Jimmie ugly, brown and toil- scarred, sitting silently there smoking. They were pretty close together, though, or at least Bob must have thought so, for suddenly he leaned forward and touched Jimmie ' s arm. Jim, he said, why aren ' t you coming back next year? Jimmie looked up and surprise was written on his face. Why, how did you know? he said. I just guessed, said Bob. Tell me, won ' t you? Then suddenly Jimmie began to talk, and as silent men do when they start, he told all. About four years ago, he said slowly, I was working away up in the moun- tain cutting timber. I had been doing that for a good many years before, but I ' ll start there, for the rest of my history isn ' t very interesting. As you know I ' m a quiet cuss and the fellows pretty much let me alone. I did an awful sight of reading 198 after work hours and so I was only too glad to be by myself. Just about this time a young fellow came into the cam)). He was handsome, well dressed, and, according to our notion, a dude, so the boys gave him a bum deal. It was then I made friends with him and we began to chum together. He was one of those persons who has to talk, and so he poured his whole life history into me. The only part that interested me. though, was his talk of college. He had just gotten out of school here and all he could think was Weslevan and athletics. I was a pretty strong young fellow, and to say the least, his stories of games excited me. Pretty soon the boys, too, began to like him, and it wasn ' t long till we spent all our spare time listening to his stories of the games. Well, in the spring he organized two teams and we played baseball till fall and then we went in for football, and finally even played basket ball in an old barn. The Kid left us the next year, but we kept up the games, and the memories of those college stories stayed with me. I began to have a feeling that the one thing I wanted most was to sec some of those games played, and in my craziest dreams I played in them myself. We got the paper every month or so, and I read the accounts of Wesleyan ' s victories with a growing desire to see her in action. About this time last year the Kid came back. He was scouting for one of the big leagues and he had remembered me, and how I could run a little, and play ball a little, and as they needed some new material he offered me the chance for this year. Well, it was so big that it staggered me and at first I couldn ' t answer him right, but finallv I managed to tell him that I would rather do it than most anything. But just as I said it, my one big desire came over me again to go to Weslevan and I told the Kid. ' The very thing. ' he said. ' It would be fine training. ' And so I signed the contract with him for next year and came here this autumn. And Bob, I tell you it ' s been great, simply great. You all have surely treated me white and I — well I ' ll never forget it. So ends the tale of Jimmie, hero of gridiron, basket ball floor and diamond; and so began the history of the greatest short-stop in the world, who proudly wears a Wesleyan sweater.
