' This book is a War Issue, and therefore not as complete as former volumes of the Murmur - montis. At fhe opening of school last autumn it was decided, as a patriotic and conservative measure, not to publish rhe Murmurmontis. How ' ever, late this Spring, after fhe need for conservation became less, and responding to the demand of the student bod]? for a publi- cation, w ' e undertook this task. To those v?ho have helped us we extend our heartiest appre- ciation, tj And now, if it meets vJirh your approval we will be satisfied. But if it does not, please do not consign us to the keeping of his satanic majest , for then you maj) have us wifh you forever. three rooooooc= — ■: MURMU Z OOOOOOOOOC=Z CZ RMONTIS ' 20 - W A l OOODOOOOOCZZSr - - 3C=DOOOOO jc — j( — : =—iooooocc OQ R I S 5 U E 8 =)3CCiOCODOO = SAMUEL J.

Six of them have made the supreme sacrifice. Lieut. Roy E. Parrish, whose home was at Clarksburg and who graduated at Wesleyan in the class of 1908, fell in action on the Western Front on July 22, 1918. Capt. Hoddie Wilbur Daniels, M. R. C, who attended Wesleyan in the days of the old seminary, was killed in action on July 19, 1918. Chaplain Frank Wittkamp, of Strathmere, N. J., who graduated in the class of 1917, fell as a victim of scarlitina. Somewhere in France, on Christmas Day, 1918. Lieut. S. P. Hoskins, who attended Wesleyan in 1907, was killed in action between Imecourt and Buyancy, France, and was buried at Imecourt on November 2, 1918. Aubrey Carl Smith, of Lost Creek, who graduated in 1918, fell as a victim of Spanish Influenza at Camp Meade, Maryland, on October 7, 1918. Dorsey O. Warner, of West Union, who attended Wesleyan in 1912, fell in action Somewhere in France on August I, 1918. No words of praise can either add luster to their glorious deeds or fittingly express the affection and honor in which they are held at Wesleyan- Their names will stand first on the bronze tablets in our Hall of Fame in the new library building. eleven MURMURMONTIS ' 20 - WAR ISSUE -inoofYyvwir , tmnnnnnnnt if - sr-mnmnmt it— jc — annomnc — nfi IF YE BREAK FAITH WITH US WHO DIE In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row. That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow. Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high.

Your valor calls us from the sky. Thoueh mortal flesh to wounds must yield, And forms must sleep in Flanders fields. Your souls with God shall never die. Destructions dreaded work is done. Your courage crushed the haughty Hun, — Dispelled forever from the light The thought of power ruling right, And ye are heroes, every one. We take the torch from hands that fall We dedicate to God our all. Resolved to emulate the life Of you who fought in glory ' s strife ' Gainst darkness and the fears that thrall. Shall actions prove our vows untrue? Shall we from men your light withhold Through lo e of self or sordid gold? Then were we as the Huns who slew. Your memory now that causes tears To fill our eyes, in future years Will challenge men, inspire, call forth The nobler self, the real worth. And give men triumph over fears. At Wesleyan. — Wallace D.

The class history, then, will be brief and will touch only those things which are naturally devoid of any boastful sentiment. The Senior Class entered Wesleyan in the fall of 1915 with a membership of fifty. Since that time the personnel of the class has so changed that now there are but five of the original fifty with us. This loss in membership, largely a result of the war, was made up to a very great extent by additions emigrating from other colleges and universities. Still others crept up a year by taking advantage of the Summer School terms, which enabled them to obtain additional college credit. As Sophomores and Juniors we were like the great undercurrent of a stream — seldom appearing to make a noisy demonstration, but steadily working with much of the power of the school vested in our quiet strength. In our Junior year, the majority of our men, gladly and willingly sacrificing all, hastened to their country ' s call. At this time, the girls began to shoulder all the tasks, even the most difficult. Strange to relate, scheming was even banished or else forgotten in the rush of unusual activity. The probable reason, though, fearing you cannot guess, is this, that there was no one with whom to have a tryout. At this time, the horror of war was at its height. Because of the resultant abnormal conditions, we departed from the time-honored custom of publishing the Murmurmontis . This was done as a conservative measure. Aside from this, things went on in their usual way. Finally, we ripen into full-fledged Seniors. Some, not far removed from their child- hood days, are most nobly shouldering the responsibilities and the duties of Senior life. If these younger ones begin to stray, there is ample restraint in the dignified teachers and preachers who add much to the solemnity of the class behavior. Though we flourish in many respects, we are beginning to doubt that we still retain or ever had a stand-in with the Faculty. The way they insist on over-work is nearly enough to agitate a revolution. In spite of the numerous conflicts, we are proud of our position at Wesleyan. The commencements we have previously witnessed have been looked upon with great joy, but as the time for our departure draws nearer, there does not appear to be such fun in it after all. During these years we have trod the self-same way, but now we are beginning to realize that our paths will soon divide and we know not what lies before us. We realize that the way has been rough and that many discouragements have threat- ened us, but we well know that it is but a preparation for the sterner stuff which we are about to explore. Without s boastful attitude, we can say that we are ready for an immediate entrance into that daily stream of life which is to be entirely different from the good ' ole school experiences through which we have been passing. As we are about to leave we feel that Wesleyan has provided us with the fundamental training necessary to meet the multiplied characters of the new era — a new set of living conditions, a new- arrangement of human relationships, and a new basis for international life. Whether our paths be easy or whether they be rocky, and wherever they may lead, we will all strive to prove that we are worthy representatives of our great Alma Mater. Finis.

Act IV. Scene IV. Y J UCH has been the slogan of the Class of 1920. Since our entrance as Freshmen in the fall of 1916, the history of the present Junior Class has Jbeen one of brilliancy. Who but the great Shakespeare himself could have I divined such an excellent thought for us to follow! furnishing officers for the societies. Christian organizations, etc., this class has been the most honored of any in the school. At present, Juniors fill the offices of President, Vice-President and Treasurer of Excelsior Literary Society; Vice-President of Chrestomathean Literary Society; President and Vice-President of the Y. M. C. A.; Vice-President of the Y. W. C. A.; Government Y. M. C. A. Secretary; Training Teacher in Model School ; President of Student Volunteer Movement of West Virginia, and all the other leading offices of Wesleyan. In athletics, too, we have not been laggards. Three of the Varsity Five, Hymes, Beck and Fisher, are members of the illustrious class of ' 20; also, Milliron, the efficient first substitute. Then, too, there is Ross, one of our number, who for two years has coached the Buckhannon High School team in basketball, and whose efficiency was so splendidly shown in this year ' s tournament. Slackers? We have none! Nearly all of our members have been in service for Uncle Sam — two, Stewart and Fleming, having seen active service in France. Hymes, Ross and Stewart have attained the height of commissioned officers, and we are very proud to have such renown within our class. And now, dear readers, we will leave the rest of the impressions of the Junior Class to you yourselves. If you like this book, give the praise to the untiring efforts of our most efficient Editor-in-Chief, and Business Manager, Davis and Patteson, and to the ones who have stood by them during its publication — the Class of 1 920. With these considerations in mind, we can repeat with Shakespeare without a doubt, I think, the quotation at the beginning and apply it to the Junior Class. fifty- - r-rr rmmt-,t if u inmrmnt it it imr MURMURMONTIS ' 20 - WAR ISSUE -i i i v«VYYinn T  inrmnnnrmfii -i t r m-r- i  : t mrrnmi J fijty-eight ' OOOOOoc= c: 3CT OCOOOOOQCKZ DC XDOOOOOCZ 8°° ' MURMURMONT1S ' 20 WAR ISSUE °° — ooooooc= c - jcr=)ooocxooooci zrc= oocoooooocz )c = =ximnmt —  ' oooooocrxiO -x-mnnm-w ■■— 9C Wflff rsrcK fifty- nine — w«-nmnnnr «■ - tnrmrani K rOOOOOOCZJf M U R M I Rx — .mnnnnt — Dt ■vwv fY r — )i i nmnnnmni i f J C=)OOOOOOC K =? = OOOOOOCZXX College Sophomores OFFICERS Virginia Patterson President Raymond Deck Vice-President Marjory Young Secretary and Treasurer Class Colors: Purple and White.

The opening of the fall term of 1917 will go down in the annals of history as an epoch in the advancement of West Virginia Wesleyan, for at this time the Class of ' 2 1 gathered for the first time within her walls. Our start in school was not different from that of other classes, owing to the rules and regulations as then proclaimed by the Dean and the Seniors, but this did not impede or suppress us, as will be shown when in the not far distant future the editorials, essays, criticisms, orations, poetry and travelogues of that year ' s English class will be gathered and edited under the title of Masterpieces of One Hundred and Two Freshmen for the model and inspiration of all later freshmen. The organization of the class was early comoleted and the following officers were elected: President. Egbert McWhorter; Vice-President, Sherwood Shinn ; Secretary and Treasurer, Emma Shumaker. Soon, in a terrible accident when a life was instantly snuffed out, the class mourned its first loss, and Chester Collins is with us today only in memory. Of the Champion ' 17 Football squad, six first-string men were of the Class of ' 21. This is only a sample of our ability, as many other instances might be given, would space permit. The year of ' I 8 opened, and very soon twenty-eight of the thirty-three boys in the old class were in uniform, and the other members of the class were industriously engaged in some form of war w ork, such as Red Cross, or as correspondents with, and candy makers for the members of the S. A. T. C. For the school year 1918-1919 the officers elected were: President, Virginia Patterson; Vice-President, Raymond Deck; Secretary and Treasurer, Marjorie Young. Altho we have not been entirely victorious in all things, yet when the final tale was told, the colors of ' 21 were always found floating from the highest pinnacle. As we go on thru college life the following classes will behold the class history of ' 2 I as the beacon light of progress and success. May she live forever. sixty-nine = doooooc: r ooooooooo = MURMUR MONTIS ' 20 - WAR ISSUE -y w if t -ir- nfinrirm . h i.-nnnnonnocT= c= a cr ooooooc: act ' en y rrmnm e ■ ■ . 1 MURMU JOOOOOOCZ DOOOOOOCOOC -i mrmnm.- RMONTI5 ' 20 • WAR ISSUE .■■■ ' ..■ ■:■■■ XX c i c-JOB leven y •■ MURMURMONTIS ' 20 - WAR ISSUE Km mnnf f  w a JQOOOOOOO; J C OOOOOOOOO = C: KXOOOOC KZ =C= OOCOOO C D CO College Freshmen OFFICERS Lesi ie V.

One of them was, We resolve to grow wiser every day, Our class was initiated into Wesleyan College along with the Government ' s grandiose scheme of quick military training. Regardless of money, equip- ment, yes, everything, this wonderful scheme was set going. There was terrible confusion in organization for study. In fact, we were all in turmoil. Consequently our class organization was delayed until September 27th. Ours is the largest class that ever took up its abode inside the strong doors of West Virginia Wesleyan College. Demobilization of the S. A. T. C. robbed us of a few of our first enrollment, leaving us still one of the largest Freshmen classes on record. In athletics we have had little opportunity to prove our mettle, as the S. A. T. C. prevented football. Three of our number were on the Varsity basketball squad, and we feel confident that this class contains much good material for football, baseball and other athletics. The deadly epidemic of flu caused prolonged quarantines. The horror and gloom which was felt everywhere was measured to us in the loss of a member of our class. Early in the second semester a little spice was added to school life by a class rush. This was a contest of colors between the Sophomores and Freshmen. The day closed with the Freshmen victorious. In March we gave a tacky party, displaying our skill in dressing up The whole class, plus the Faculty, joined heartily in this affair and came out for a jolly good time, and we had it. To be of definite service in real life is the aim of this class. We are fondly hoping this class will continue to build both for the strength and glory of Wesleyan standards and the uplift of man. eighty-two rooooocn= c= MUR =JOCOOOOOOOCZ SOCT3000000CZ = OOOOOCK= =3C X3QOOOQCI MURMONTIS ' 20 - WAR IS 1CT=DOOOOOOC30Q SUE -11 inmnmi f. .HIO OFFICERS George Campbell Stratton President Ruby PaTTESON Vice-President BLANCHE LILLIAN Rice Secretary-Treasurer Motto: Dig.

To uphold the lofty Christian standards laid down by the founders of our school the young men must have an opportunity for intimate association under a distinctly Christian atmosphere. This atmosphere the Y supplies. Last autumn t u e S. A. T. C. brought w th it additional duties and functions for the Y. M. C. A. The Student Department of the National Y. M. C. A. was alive to our needs and selected one of our own members, Mr. E O. McNulty, to serve as Student Secretary. Since November 1st, Mr. McNulty has given practically his whole time to association work. Among his manifold duties during the days of the S. A. T. C. were the distribution of stationery and timely literature; the securing of competent speakers to address the soldier boys on live toaics that were of present interest to them; the supplying of wholesome entertainment in the form of athletic meets, stunt nights and movie shows; and the provision of Bible study classes and discussion groups. During the months of confusion and flu the was the morale preserver at Camp Wesleyan. The Y was just adjusting itself to the rigorous demands of military service when the men were discharged and the camp was broken up. Secretary McNulty was present at the Yonker ' s Conference, held December 27-29. After his return our local association heartily adopted the extensive program set forth during t ' -e Yonker ' s meeting. With this new program the Y has taken on increased vigor in all departments under the efficient direction of President Butcher and his corp of assistants. Our returned comrades from the camps and overseas are adding their part to the general enthusiasm. Our association is ministenn« to the moral, social and spiritual needs of our boys and is thus glorifying the name of Him whom we love and serve. lincty-three rcmnm i 1 --■•• u H-wionrw te h tnnrvTfWTrw if u .rmrv-mrn ir - - -u MURMURMONTIS ' 20 WAR ISSUE ii mvYtv u 1 inrinnryu nH IDOOOOOO 300 r ■ - -■• ■ lOOOOOOOOOC nincly-Jour 001 wiryv-ifw t: 5 MUR V WAR ISSUE =3c zT oooooo crrxi-T . — Jcr j oooooocz)o8 =xx cooooooc Young Women ' s Christian Association URPOSE of the Association: To unite the women of the institution in loyalty to Jesus Christ; to lead them to accept Him as their persona] Savior; to build them up in the knowledge of Christ; to associate them with the students of the world for the advancement of the kingdom of God.

Excelsior Literary Society has been quietly and efficiently carrying on the work it was intended to perform when it was organized in 1 890, the work of training and developing the future leaders of our state and nation. The value of Excelsior to Wesleyan students in the past has been proven by the illustrious work of members of this society, who were trained to think quickly, speak effectively, and act wisely, in Excelsior Hall. Their work in the world speaks for itself, and proves that no one can afford to miss the training which is received by taking an active part in the society work. The work of this year forms but another lnspir ng page in the record of Excelsior ' s history. Despite the disadvantage in the first semester arising from influenza quarantine and S. A. T. C. restrictions, there has been manifested a growing interest in the work of the society. A great many new members have been gained and by their loyalty and support they have helped add to the benefic al influence vvh ' ch Excelsior stands for. The sprit manifested by the society as a whole has been most encouraging. The programs have been interesting and instructive, the crowds larfe and attentive, and the work of tie society in consequence useful and appreciated. With the present enthusiasm for society work the outlook for the future of Excelsior s bright and encouraging. May our society continue to be an honor to Wesleyan, an insp ' ration to her friends and a blessing to all new students, is the wish ol e ' ery loyal member of Excelsior Literary Society.

Yet these are not mere traditions, for they are a living presence in the society today. During this year Chresto has had her ups and downs, as has most every organization in these disturbed times, but it is plainly to be seen that the ups have carried the more force of the two. At the beginning of the year Chresto started off with an even greater interest than usual. The attendance was splendid, including many S. A. T. C. members. But the army quarantine in conjunction with the flu soon placed a ban on everything, except classes. After two months the restrictions were lifted and literary interest had even a greater impulse than be ' ore, only to ebb again at the demobilization of the S. A. T. C. in late December. The new year brought new prospects to Chresto. We were then free from t u e uncertainty which had characterized the first of the year. Many of the S. A. T. C. men returned to school, as did others of the service who had previously been active in t!-e society. A new interest came with the second semester election. At this time a very capable staff of officers were chosen. Worthy mentxn is here made of the retiring officers. Their ability and patience were fully tried and proved bv the uncertainty of events. The new staff did not have to face this handicap. They have had the hearty co-operation of all members, new and old. Chrestomathean Literary Society is again on her way to achievement and success.

Invariably, there is an immediate wave of quiet mirth moving among most of the male students. Evidently, something pleasant is connected with such meetings. Every student has some notion as to what the association means and just what is going to happen. The first thought is something stirring there! It is absolutely true that something happens and that all action is progressive. The Homiletic Association is composed of all students who are preparing for the Christian ministry. Preparation for the ministry is kept clearly in mind as the distinct obiect of the homiletic meetings. This organization aims to equip ministerial students for efficient service in the church and in life. It is continually pointing onward and upward. The religious meetings of the association are fine for the religious education of the student. Sometimes the hour is spent in discussing the problems of the ministry, the work of the ministry, or in the construction of sermons. The student must have all the intensive training that can be gotten during bis college days in order to meet the demands of the modern ministry, and it is in the Homiletic meeting that he can respond to the various demands. Here the student receives fresh inspiration for a continued pursuit of his work and of the best in life. Occasionally a sermon is delivered by a student. This is where he realizes that he is not infallible. Before long the student realizes that he is standing before a bunch of higher critics. They listen carefully — once in his life that the entire congregation is attentive — a nd jot down notes and criticisms continually. When the sermon is finished, the session is open to criticism. All criticism is given in a friendly attitude and points out faulty material, preparation, poor delivery, and any other mistake. This is very valuable training, for it is much better to make mistakes in a class room before a bunch of ministerial students than it is to make them later on in life before a congregation. one hundred one om — kxjoo vi =jooocxxx=)Oooc; Rrx — nmnnm: 20 WAR ISSUE zxz—yoooococz wooooooooc _ z o8 THE PHARO one hundred twn raooooooc: Z)OOOOOCx= zxxjocxdooooci: L MURMURMONTIS ' 20 WAR ISSUE zxxcooooooc DOOCOOOOOOC 5CZJOO The Pharos HE Pharos staff takes this opportunity to express its appreciation to the student ' S igjj body for the honor of serving you in this capacity.

During the last two years, the club has taken extended tours thru the state; the one this year taking in the northern part of the state as far as Wheeling. It is almost inadequate to say that this tour was a great success. The splendid appearance of the club as a whole, the goodly variety and arrangement of the program, and the excellent manner of its rendition attracted and held the attention of the audiences from start to finish. Too much credit cannot be given Prof. Muzzy for the careful and thorough training which he, as Director, has given the club. Another enjoyable feature of the Dro°rams was the excellent readings of Miss Voune, who has been with the club for two years.

IXXJOOOOOOOC M URMURMONTI S ' 20 Mens Glee Club : LTHOUGH there was a sorry depletion of the ranks of the men in college, owing to the call to the colors, new material was developed, and the Glee Club of 191 7- ' 18 ranked among the best clubs that have ever represented the college- Under the leadership of Professor Bohanan, our director, the club was able to render a very successful program, and it is to his untiring efforts that the success of the club is due. The only trip that the club, as a whole, was permitted to take, was a very successful one, programs being rendered at Sutton. Gassaway, Cowen, and Richwood. At each of these places, the program was favorably received, and a good impression was made on the people. After this trip, the club was broken up by some of the members answer- ing the call of Uncle Sam and thoughts of another trip were given up. However, a double quartette was selected, which joined a double quartette from the G ' rls ' Glee Club, and together, toured the northern and western parts of the state, visiting Clarksburg, Fairmont. Fairview, Moundsville, Cameron. New Martinsville, Wallace, and Salem. The people were well pleased with the program, and the experience was an enjoyable one and long to be remembered by the participants. During the present year, the regular plans of the college were interrupted litary program of Uncle Sam, and no Men ' s Glee Club has been organized, conditions, Wesleyan has a bright prospect for tary program ever, with the return to norma club next year. bv the How- a good First Tenors H.

T the beginning of the past college year the United States Government assigned a unit of the S. A. T. C. at Wesley an College. The Government agreed to induct the members of this unit into the United States Army as regular soldiers. Members of the S. A. T. C, therefore, received soldiers pay of $30 the month and had all their necessary expenses met by the Government. Admission to this soldier group was limited to men physically fit, who were 18 years of age or older, and who could present thirteen or more units of high school credit. One hundred and eighty-six of the men who applied for admission met the conditions, oassed the physical test, and were soldiers of the United States Army. The college gymnasium was fitted up as a barracks for the soldier-students. A large room in the basement served as a mess hall. Lieutenant Fred Horton, of Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa, was assigned as commanding officer. He was assisted by Lieutenant Cecil G. Gaston, of Penn State; Lieutenant Neil Y.

MURMURMONT1S ' 20 - WAR ISSUE 1917 Football LTHO founded in 1 890 and boasting of strong football teams during the era of twenty-seven years, a glance at the following record entered on history ' s pages by the 1917 team will prove the merits of the most powerful football team ever produced in the state of West Virginia: Weslevan, 13; Lebanon Valley, 0. Wesleyan, 40; Bethany, 6. Wesleyan, 6; W. J., 13. ' Wes ' evan. 2 7 ; Maretta. We ' leyan, 2R; Westminster, 3. Wesleyan, 20; W. V. U., 0. Wesleyan, 7 ; Penn State, 8. The outstanding feature of the 1917 season for ever y fan within our state and thousands beyond the borders of West Virginia was the successful triumph of Wesleyan over West Virginia University on Saturday prior to Thanksgiving Day. West Virginia, with a fine record and a team of which boasts innumerable and loud were being sung, crumbled beneath the superior team found in Wesleyan. The State University eleven had held Pitt I 4 to 9, had downed Dobie ' s powerful Navv eleven 7 to 0, won decisively from Gettysburg, Carlisle and Vircinia Tech, defeated Washington and Jefferson by a touchdown, and had held the big Rut?ers eleven to a tie. The feat of West Virginia in holding Washington and Jefferson down and then humbling the Red and Black in the final period of the game bv a well-earned touchdown was and is a record wh ' ch cannot pass by without honor. It was the second time W. V. U. had won from W. J. in the history of the two universities. Wesleyan had a team that had practically been rebuilt from the year before. Wes- leyan met and defeated Marietta, Lebanon Valley, Bethany and Wes ' minster Marietta and Westminster were teams of considerable strength, but fell hard beneath the Metho- dists ' onslaught. Penn State was defeated and played inferior ball to Wesleyan ud to the final thirty seconds of play, when darkness came on, Wesleyan fumbled and Penn State scored on a fluke. This score crave the Pennsyb ' anians the game, and Wesleyan while playing the preater game, was chalked up a loser. Against Washington and Jefferson a blocked kick netted the second touchdown for the Red and Black, and acain Wesleyan was returned a defeated aggregation, altho having played a better brand of ball than the opposition. With this record behind Wesleyan, West Virginia University was met in Clarksburg on the Saturday preceding Thanksgiving. Here is where the University met her Waterloo. Cock-sure of winning and supported by a horde of thirsty betting men, who offered many odds, the saddest touch of pen in all the University days fell on the annals of time at the close of the great game. Wesleyan staged the most thrilling, the most scientific and the greatest football superiority that had ever been seen in the state. West Virginia players, some boasted for All-American mention, appeared stunned and lost. Even the touted Bailey and the great Rodgers were so completely outclassed that the loyal support- ers of a great season became so disgusted as to leave the field long before the game was finished. From the 1917 team Wesleyan has six veterans around whom another famous eleven will be built for the 1919 season. one hundred twenty-lhree r rrrx-t-r .r - v t nrrv r ,r- — x-inrKTranm-mf x k lonr-inm-tr- MURMURMONTIS ' 20 - WAR ISSUE n-mn. if m ' nrnnfYVnnf w inrTr.nnr.onrw— Z30O000CX= one hundred twenty four imr-v-r-Trk u tmrtncinc it n inrtimivimi ■ ■ -h i nr-Tr - — MURMURMONTIS ' 20 - WAR ISSUE XXCOOOCXD MP ZX3OOO00C3C 1917 Baseball Champions HE championship of West Virginia in college ranks for the season of 1917 rests undisputably with West Virginia Wesleyan. While Wesleyan won both games scheduled with the University, the season would have been considered a success even though one of the Wesleyan-University games had been dropped. After Wesleyan ' s return from Dixie every game at home and abroad was won, thus the Pittsburg sectional title was granted to Wesleyan by Richard Guy, sporting editor of the Pittsburg Cazcttc-Times, and other prominent sporting men over the country. The first game with the University was played in Buckhannon and was won by Wesleyan by a 3-0 score. The second game, played in Morgantown, resulted in another Wesleyan victory, this time the score reading 2-0. Shriver faced June in both games, and while the two strong twirlers equally performed brilliantly for their respective clubs, the hard slugging nine of Wesleyan unraveled again that old story that it takes a well- balanced nine of hitters and fielders to win. In Rodgers. Huffman and Flynn, West Virginia had a trio of dangerous men, but what player of Wesleyan was liable to break up a game remained ever in doubt, and thus it was in the second Wesleyan-University game that Dunn, hitting in eighth place, drove out two terrific singles, and Shriver, who held the Mountaineers to two scattered hits, drove out a pretty single through second in the tenth inning which scored the two runs of the hard-foueht game. Marshall College was early eliminated by West Virginia, and both Salem and Bethany tasted defeat at the hands of Wesleyan, hence were obscured from champion- ship aspirations. Baseball was called off at Davis-Elkins College, and Fairmont Normal and Morris-Harvey, although having cred table teams, are not to be considered in the first division, as their schedule included only teams of secondary rank. The nine which represented Wesleyan in ' I 7 was the best team ever sent upon the field by the Methodists. Its only peer, if there be one, was the 1914 team which won the state championship for the first time for Wesleyan by ann ' h ' .lating a most formidable foe in West Virginia University in a third and deciding game. It was the great work of Lefty Cornwell at that time which brought victory, as did the sterling pitching of Shriver in the 1917 series. All averages for the 1917 season were lowered because of the hard Southern Dixie trip which was taken as a mere training excursion. On this sojourn thirteen games were played, and four were won and nme lost, which record is creditable considering conditions. The hitting of the team while South was much lower than that after the return. In fact, the strongest asset of the team after the return from the South rested in the hitting ability. The batting average of the individuals composing the 1917 team follows: Player. Games Average W. Dunn, If 4 .800 Reeder. 2nd 23 .462 Miller, ss 23 .405 Shumaker. Capt., c 16 .385 B.

Owing to the suspension of athletics due to war conditions and to the fact that the gymnasium was utilized as barracks for the soldier lads of the Student ' s Army Training Corps, no plans for the operation of a cageman ' s machine had been worked out even after the armist ce had been signed, the S. A. T. C. had its disbandonment, and Merry Christmas ch ' mes had found a welcome in Wesleyan. About this time, through the courtesy of Uncle Sam, director John S. Kellison was leturned, a Wesleyan freeman. With the return of Coach Kellison, Wesleyan stock took a mighty boost, a good schedule was arranged, and many of the stronp athletes of yesterday shuffled off the khaki and offered themselves as greetings to the droop-ng sp-rits of Wesleyan. The season opened wth Marietta College on the home floor. The game was one of the best of the season, and resulted in a 39-30 victory for the Oranee and Black. Five more home games were played, all of which were won with the excepton of the W. J. bout, which went to the Red and Black. Ten games were played on foreign floors, eight of which were won and two lost. Wesleyan had a team caoable of winning the state championship, but no series were played this season to test the winner. Wesleyan scored 774 points while the oppos : ng tossers garnered 460. Capt. Fisher led his team with 105 field goals and 4 goals from foul, or with a total of 2 1 4 points. Hoyt came second, with 86 goals from field and 5 foul goals, or 177 points. Both Fisher and Hoyt scored far more field goals than any other college men in the state this season. Stark ' s fine work at foul shooting stands as a bright spot of the Methodists ' play. Stark shot 99 goals from 128 chances, or 78 per cent of his trials. He also scored 39 field goals during the season. Capt. Fisher ' s work for Wesleyan was a big factor in the successful season. Fisher, after being kidnapped by the Old Gold and Blue, made his escape therefrom at the beginning of the second semester. He performed brilliantly for Wesleyan and proved a most successful leader. Beck graced the other corner of the offensive field. Beck scored 61 field goals and played a steady game throughout the year. His work was very meritorious and his services were indispensable to the team. Hoyt cavorted around the inner circle with much cred ; t. Although not playing his usual game, he nevertheless put up a brilliant fight and added greatly to the success of the five. . i j ■ l l Stark ' s work at guard merits very high praise. His scoring ability, coupled with his wonderful floor game and defensive action, ranks him the best guard in West Virginia basketball today. , , , Hymes, playing the other guard and performing sensationally on the defense, is largely responsible for holding down the scores of the opposition. His game was con- sistent, fast, brainy and necessary to Wesleyan ' s successful season. Milliron. Hickman, Funk, Lorentz and M ; ller were other lesser luminaries whose work spelled victory several times for the Orange and Black. These luminaries staged a fine game whenever used by Coach Kellison. one hundred tu ' enty-seven rjooooooezn :. . - , czz oooooo« x— cr= ooooooooocz3C MURMURMONTIS ' 20 y - inr n —it yynfYncr rm i - ■ w tf-trtfy-yv-M x  vyx-ionnonnr- WAR I55L z oocoocx — jc- : one hundred twenty. eight MURMUR XXQCnC.

It was only with the utmost difficulty that some of our leading articles were t-anslated from Soc rate ' s Oneinal Manuscript. 1 he Liteiary Post and the Saturday Evening Direst offered us $10,000 fo- one of our poems (see if you can tell which one), but we were steadfast in our purpose to bring before you the best dipped down literature of the age, and consequently were not lo be persuaded f om our lofly ideals by the lure of mere money. We suggest that this paper be read on Sunday afternoon along with the Classmate and the Sunday papc. A careful study of thesr columns may fu-nish vou with some valuable ideas for an Epwo th League talk, that is, if you don t care what you talk about. Note Also: — Please, we beg of you, do not feel slighted if there isn ' t any jokes on you in these colvmns. It was an oversight on our part and we regret it more than you do. Also, we ask that you dcn ' l get peeved ' if there happen s to be a joke on you. It orobably wasn ' t true or it wouldn ' t be in here. But, Dear Reader, if you do get sore, take Soothing Syrup and read the joke again. personages, you should consider yourself lucky and utter a prayer of thanksgiving to the gods above and the demons below.

Alright, here goes: Last fall, when, on account of the war, the S. A. T. C. and other abnormal conditions, we deemed it wise not to publish the Murmurmontis, there were many who gave us h — 1 (h — 1 means horse laugh, so don ' t get shocked) and said we were slackers. We tried to be meek and take it all, for you know Shakespeare or somebody said that the meek should inherit the earth, but we fear there is some mistake for we only inher- ited knocks. After a lime things quited down and the Murmurmontis was seemingly forgot- len. This spring, however, we began to hear knocks about not having an annual, so we decided about the first of March to put out a book. The plans were under way and the pictures were being made, when again we heard those subterranean grumbhnrs. We charged too much for the cuts, so they said. It wasn ' t their place to put out a book, we even heard. We admit the cuts did cost too much, but, dear reader, please tell us of some- thing that doesn ' t cost too much these days. Why, we remember when you could get a chocolate nut sundae for a thin dime. Now it takes a perfectly eood quarter! If we had gotten started on our book last fall and contracted for all our engravings, we would probably have gotten them cheaper. But we were late and had to take what we could get and pay what we were asked. So please re- member these few things when you criti- cize us, and let ' s hope that next year thev will get started early and that the Mur- murmontis of ' 21 will be the best ever published by any class. Therefore, be a booster and not a knocker. Throw away your hammer and buy a horn, and if you can ' t buy one swipe it from some Ford. SPRING We have to write another editorial to fill out this page, so we will take for our subject, Spring. For you know that it is in the Springtime when a professor ' s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of flunking. Maybe you never noticed it, but it is true nevertheless. Just as soon as the evenings begin to get nice and warm, and especially after the time is turned up, it is impossible to make a good grade. Who could stay in on one of those wonderful spring nights a f ter the trees have burst forth in their Easter cloaks, when darkness softly settles down and the silvery moon floods the camnus with its radiant splendor? On such a night it is impossible to concen- trate one ' s mind within the confines of the four walls of a room. The gods them- selves could not resist, for Spring is that enticing spirit of life and love and holds all in her embrace. Yet, ah, that Spring should vanish with the Rose! That Youth ' s sweet-scented manuscript should close! Yes, alas, it is true, and in the Spring a Drofessor ' s fancy lightly turns to thoughts nf flunking. nne hundred ortt -ln n MURMURMONTIS ' 20 WAR ISSUE ZXXXXDOOOOOC ZDOOOOOOd Guess Who ?

' fwvv r v .L-.r 1 KVYwr CZXXJ An Episode from the East WAS a Wednesday at dusk, the balmy breezes inflated the curtains at the window and wafted them out into the open air. Spring was everywhere in evidence, the grass was green and so were the frogs that croaked in the dis- tance; gardens were dimly seen with rich unturned soil and green shoots of future delicious vegetables peeping out of their cozy beds, but the surest sign of all was a white dress in company with a young man, the most stylish he-male who sallied forth under a straw hat, twittering in a manner comparable only to the other birds in the treetops. From the retreat of the window-seat Tessie was heard to exclaim, with heart-rending longing, Oh, how I wish that we could only be out tonight. It ' s no use, though, to even think of asking to go out on Wednesday night. Enter Gloom upon the scene, and behind Gloom, Temptation. Temptation whispers Run off, but Prudence reminds Tessie of her duty and the risk in slipping out. There is a subdued rush of hasty preparation, a powdering of noses, a blush of youth and excitement evenly placed on either cheek; then suddenly — silence. Two silent figures wend their perilous way down the creak ng stairs that before squealed only at intervals, but which now groan at each advancing step and try in their humble way to warn the unsuspecting Preceptress, Mademoiselle Jackson, who calmly reads on, believing that all is going splendidly. At last the door is reached, only half a dozen steps more or less, and all will be well ! Carefully, slowly, slyly, cleverly, the door swings open and silently aids in the escape. But what is that, surely an ominous-looking figure is approach- ing by the center walk. It is the carriage and appearance of the Assistant Preceptress, better known among the inmates as Sis Hopkins. Horrors upon horrors, and still more horrors!! All may be already lost. Like the crooks they have so often seen at the movies, our two adventurers slink into the shadow of a neighboring tree, and there in breathless anxiety await their discovery or their safety. Nearer, yet nearer, comes the figure, the only visible obstacle between the fugitives and a glorious time. The day of miracles has not passed — a cautious peep around the trunk of the tree discloses a jaunty young man in Sunday-best, with an individual sidewise tilt to his hat, gaily directing his footsteps toward the idol of his affections, Jane, a member of the Fraternity of Kitchen Mechanics. Relief, sweet and complete, permeates the whole atmosphere, while the two figures, fleet as deer, rapidly flee across the campus and down the main thoroughfare to the sanctum of the motion pictures. The first reel was reely pathetic, the second more animated, but the third began — Be sure your sins will find you out. Nervous chills and qualms of conscience begin to make themselves felt in the rear row of seats, and two of the audience begin preparations for departure. But now the worst is over — a comedy sends the populace into fits of laughter. Fears and doubts are forgotten and happiness reigns supreme. Never was a sundae so delicious as those served at A. D. Olds that night; never were there so many funny incidents, so much pep or such a perfect evening. Luckily the moon alone sheds forth its pale rays over Mother Earth. The refugees succeeded in passing one member of the Faculty in safety, but not so the second, whose eagle eye misses no misdemeanor, however slight. In imitat on of Sherlock Holmes, he commences to work out a plan so that by taking a short-cut, he can come out face to face one hundred Inrlu four rrvwm t r — - — )i nnfinnn c-= r- - i t ynmrmnr -, , «■■  i rmnnnr r ■ y - u innnnnr.1 inp MURMURMONTIS ' 20 - WAR ISSUE K ■ ,™ i-,n™-i,  ii i rmnnnnnrin r-  -inm-inm-H-ni m  i inform n i .fwvm wtS with the ofTenders. Fear-stricken and tiembhnf, 1 essie and her chum divine his act and rush helter-skelter through a vacant lot and into a chicken pen. With a chorus of variations all the chickens squawk the ' .r remonstrances, bringing not only the owner of the feathered folk, but also their pursuer, who was ploughing through the mud and mire of a near-by alley. Quick thinking and alertness enabled them to climb the obstructing fence, wade through the mud and put a patch of briers and stones between them and their pursuers. But still do the pursuers pursue and the fleers flee. Sweet haven of rest — the dormitory looms protectmgly on the horizon and now ' tis only a question of a safe entrance into one of the cozy, little rooms. Time flies; only five minutes are left till the doors will be locked. In haste the schemers near the main door — no chance there, for guests of Mademoiselle Jackson are just leaving, so stealthily thev turn the corner and slip in through one of the doors in the conservatory, peep into the hall to make sure that all is well along the Potomac, and begin their ascent to the realms above, where all is peaceful and qu el One flight of steps is mounted in safety, but alas, as they near the second land ng a firm hand is laid on each girl ' s shoulder and an uncompromising voice decrees thus: Young ladies, you have been out w.tfout permission.

But the fact remains nevertheless that such is the fact, and we, the student body, are proud of our rulers in the main. It is true of course that there must be some black sheep in even the best of families, but we are prone to view only that side of the magisterial characteristics of our beloved leaders — and not too seldom persecutors — which lends an optimistic color to their appearance. I can see them now — Oh ! how plain is the vision — as they sit with folded arms and sad but commanding countenances on that throne of grace and endeavor individually to keep from lapsing into the realms of slumberland while one of their degreed members tries with might and main to make a speech interesting enough that the dumfounded student audience may not pass entirely into an unappreciative mass of babbling tongues. We know how to sympathize with them, for it must be a hard task to say things that will keep us interested from day to day, week after week, month upon month, year, even for years; and if the Higher Ones do not intervene, the poor mistreated body of martyrs with assigned pews may have to sit and be speeched at by the Faculty for centuries. However, we lake all this in good understanding, for we know that with all those Ph. D. ' s and A. M. ' s and R. S. P. U. Q. ' s there must be a lot of knowledge stored up somewhere. And it seems that they have to get rid of it somehow. Therefore since a student cannot assimilate all the knowledge of a professor by class-room co-operation, the added catastrophe must be endured till there are no more Faculties or till we, the undersigned, have grown into facultyhood and have taken our places on some glorious platform to persecute in our turn those who cannot help it. But, we hope and pray never to be so entirely unmerciful as our own beloved superiors. It is indeed quite amusing to watch this straggling bunch of unherded lambs as they wander into the auditorium at ten some morning after a joyous night of selfish festivity which seems to be their most liked procedure. With slow and measured tread each member comes groping forth from the stale air of classroom to the chilly atmosphere of chapel hall, and, grasping a hymnal, seats himself wherever his desires may suggest, moaning peacefully over some childhood experience or past college affairs. There he sits in company with the rest of the said Faculty, who in a like manner have sauntered in, and have gone invariably through the same seating motions. And so with half closed and dreamy eyes they sit looking neither to right nor left till the tedious half hour is over, and we, the students, may have two minutes of comfort and enjoyment. We often wonder, on gazing on our dear professors, what thoughts, if any. pass through their shiny pates during the lonesome half hour. And we should wish a little one hundred fifty-two re -imnmru irmni— MURMURMONTIS ' 20 WAR ISSUE = oooooooocxz Jl that some Utopian fancy could p erce a little of their gray matter and they could see just how we feel. If such a thing should ever happen, we fear that there would be a revolu- tion — and goodbye, Mr. Faculty! It would be our wish to change places with them for a mere half hour. We should like in realization of their Utopian dreams, to seat our dear selves on the raised platform and speech at the Faculty for the aforesaid space of time. If at the end of this time there were no changes made in the manner of doing things, we could, of course, be satisfied to bear with this the rest of our lives. But where there is life we realize there is always hope. There seems to be left but little life in our dear ones, but in that one thread we hold our hope that some day there will be an awakening. And when it does come, there will certainly be a change. Let come what may, we have stood it in the past and we can still be martyrs of the faith. But we believe in liberty, now and forever, one and inseparable! And while we cannot fulfill our belief at present, by the aid of the outside world, in justification of our own perse- cution, we are living with great expectations ahead. And when our plans are developed, let it be said of our persecutors, They have fought a good fight, but justice has con- quered might. — Amen.

What ? ? HARKEN, FRESHIE! Love and Springtime! Yet how impossible it really is to link these two words together by a mere conjunction! How incomparable and what a wide contrast between the two from the standpoint of public sentiment! Just because Spring is here, Freshie, don ' t get it into your head that you need express your sentimental tendencies to the fair young ladies who have a similar turn of mind. Remember that Wesleyan has greater things in store for you and you must take advantage of your opportunities, because we older students realize that you are not yet ripe to mingle with the deeper things of life. We insist that you no longer list ' to the enticing love carols of some c-h-i-c-k-e-n-s. Think of your golden opportunity ! Reject, for the time being, the green leaves, the blossoms, and the warm sunny weather and the singing and the loving that all come back together. Beware, Freshie! Love is the most powerful of all spells. Once a young student indulges in it, so long college career. Love is a thing that cannot be analyzed in the chemistry laboratory, and remember that you are here to solve things that are analyzable. The consciousness of real love will come to you later on. Don ' t be afraid of starv ng for love ' s caress! The world was beginning to think that the war had changed everyth n«, even love, but our college beginners have already spoiled the entire program. Surely, then, the war has not changed the popular thoughts of love. One can hardly refrain from smiling when he thinks of the many mirthful comedies that have taken place under his concealed presence. Useless to hide, Freshie! Everybody is interested enough in you to watch your step. It can be seen very clearly through the eyes of a disinterested loveless student just what is taking place in the coo-ey alcoves and shaded recesses of Wesleyan ' s love-hall. In this new cottage, one can easily discover wherein the springy love falls far short from the lovely Springtime. The love found there is light, airy, and imaginative and even so inflated that equipped with a pair of wines it would outfly t e best aeroplane on the market and would easily cod the London Mail Prize Money. The ideal that craves this love is usually a fluffy little sprite that dances merrily and treads lightly, yet very heavily upon the tender emotions of our Freshmen manhood. Poor fellows!! Blindness, although not inherited in this instance, surely is adaptable. This fact is seen in the rapid movement that is spreading throughout the younger set. Many of our youthful prospects are walking boldly toward the precipice over which they are bound to leap. When the final plunge is made it will terminate in a routine of eight hours hard labor in the shop; eight hours more in entertaining the sprite; and the rest of the day in try- ing to frame excuses to get out of the rash promises made when love pulled hardest and over- powered the rational faculty. Couples can be seen going to and from this new love-hall at all hours. Those, who are not seated in cupid ' s tight little sofas, are out in the garden. How they walk and what they must talk! Finally, on the lane to the realm of loveland they roam and no doubt the world would be amazed if it could hear the sentimental outbursts accompanying them. For instance, it ' s so soothin ' and appeahn ' to me! Shall I compare thee to a summer ' s day? Surely thou art more lovely, and more one hundred fifty -four —inmnnni mnm- MURM URMONTI S ' 20 - WAR ISSUE mnm i r v y nmnnrit a r 1 1 YTrYifYirYi m   mvwyv t  « i nrv-rw-. temperate! Just look how the birdies pair and the squirrelies duet! Don ' t you think it would be romantic for us to attempt something strange and daring? Usually there is trouble to pay then, because the Dean of Women is always on the job. It is wonderful to behold the dashing boldness and chivalry of some of our F resfiies. Some of them say, in McCarthy ' s words: If I were a king — ah, love, if I were a king! What tributary nations would I bring, To stoop before your sceptre and to swear Allegiance to your eyes and lips and hair! Beneath your feet what treasures would I fling: — The stars would be your pearls upon a string, The world a ruby for your finger ring, And you should have the sun and moon to wear — If I were a king. You, Mr. Freshie, are in danger! Would you assume such a tottering throne? Truly some would call tl ee king, but more fitting thou would be a servant bound up in the napow limitations of a love that has captivated you; that has produced empty- headedness; and that has played havoc with your school work. Please, do not fall? Do not tarry round the love-hall until you are disturbed by a cow-bell. It may be the preliminary toll of warning which might culminate in the death knell. Dig in! Love — real love — is too big a th:ng to undertake at your point in college life. There are some large ideas yet in the college curriculum for you to grasp. Would that those, to whom this article applies, might start in anew and prepare themselves with available opportunities so that, when the consciousness of real love does come, they will know how to love, honor, and obey it.
