Hoffman Margaret Sigafoose Cartoonist— Thelma Dawson iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiBiiBiilBiia MURMURMONTIS k GREETINGS In the pages to follow we have tried to give a faithful and accurate record of life at Weslcyan during this present school year. We have tried to render justice to the whole student body, avoiding undue attention to any one class or group of organisations. All the interesting events of this splendid period could not receive merited attention. If there are glaring omissions we, the editors, are most culpable. If there are commendable features we are still but unprofit- able servants. Our labors hare been pleasant experiences. May pleasure also be the reward of the students, friends, and patrons who read these pages. BOOK I. INTRODUCTORY msislT miP AMM MURMURMONTIS three CONTENTS BOOK I. BOOK II. BOOK III. BOOK IV. BOOK V.

Charles Weslev Lynch, to whom the Class of ' 21 dedicate this the six- teenth volume of the Murmurniontis, is known to the public as a jurist of learning and experience, a true disjienser of justice. To his more intimate friends he is known as a champiou of the highest ideals in the life of his conimAtnity ; a Christian gentleman. Born and reared in Harrison County, West irginia; he received his early training in the public schools of his native county. He is an alumnus of West ' irginia University, having received his A.B. degree (1874) and his A.M. (1877). He has since been honored with the degree of LL.D. from our own W ' esleyan. After completing his college course we tind him working for eight years as a public school teacher in Wirt and Harrison counties. In 1882 Mr. Lynch was admitted to the West N ' irginia Bar and began his long career as a lawyer. His political activities have been continuous and varied: member State House of Delegates (1883-4; 1891-2): prosecuting attorney Harrison County 1 885-90) : circuit judge of Harrison and Lewis counties (1905-13). C)n January 1, 1913, he entered upon liis twelve year term as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of West Virginia. Judge Lynch, despite his Inisy years, has found time to engage in re- ligious and fraternal work. He was the honored Grand Master of Masons of West Virginia (1912-13). ' est N ' irginia Methodism has in him a staunch supporter and he goes as a delegates to the (ieneral Conference to be held at D ' esMoines, Iowa, in May of this year. Wesleyan has been the recipient of many generous favors and, as a token of her respect, he was made a member of the Board of Trustees in 1909. As a fitting tribute to his scholarsliip and kindly interest he was unanimously chosen president of the Board, June 1913, a station he now occupies. Our friend needs no feeble tribute we might endeavor to bestow upon him at this time. The Greater Wesleyan which is evolving under his direc- tion will speak in the life of West Virginia thruout the coming years. ' ' A nuui who lives atiove the foj .

Our scholarly President is an impurted product, being a native of O hio. However, he lias admirably acclimated himself to Vest Virginia conditions, and we unreservedly ])ronounce him the ideal college president. Dr. Fleming is the possessor of four degrees of scholarship : A.B. .Muskingum College 1894 A.M. .Muskingum College 1897 I ' l.l). Drew Theological Seminarv 1897 I ' h.D. Columliia L ' nixcrsity 1914 After spending fourteen years in the active ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church he accepted the chair of Hebrew and Greek iu Drew Theological Seminary. 1915 marks an epoch in ' esleyan history, for in that year Dr. hleming accepted the presidencv of this institution. In his char- acteristic way he has wrought miracles undreamed of by West ' irginia Methodists of a decade |)ast. In June of 1917 the campaign for a half million dollar endowment was achieved. This ]n ' esent vear will witness the success of the X ' ictory Fund of an additional half million. But our energetic presi- dent is not yet satisfied. With past performances for criteria we can but expect that his visions for the future will materialize. m! £ns MUflMURMONTIS ? ten mml ymm m DEAN ' I mis.

Progressive in nietluid, ijung in spirit, nniqiie in manner, and buoyant in hope is our Dean. It miglit possibly cause some needless embarrassment so we refrain from giving the year of his nativity. However, strain our memories as we will, they will not disclose his advent. Prof. Haught is a graduate of the old West Virginia Seminary. His .A.B. bears the seal of West X ' irginia I ' niversity ; his A.M. was conferred by our own Wesleyarj. He has done extensive post-graduate wcjrk in Chemistry at Harvard and Johns Hopkins -As a practical schol e.xecnti e he is without a peer, and is known through- out this and other slates in the best educational circles. Amid all the per- ]ilexities which arise in his responsible station, our Dean maintains a calm exterior and a judicious mind. Campus and college halls with all their accnutrement mav fade into oblivion, but the memory of our Dean will never be dimmed in our hearts. ' e can give no adequate verbal description of the thing we know as THE WESLIiY.VX .SPIRIT, but here we have the living embodiment of that spirit. Endowments may come and go but Wesleyan received her richest gift when Tommy came. llVy MURMURMONTIS ? h ' jelve O. H. HEL 7G. A.M. Professor Eeoiiomics aiiJ Greek Clliicj V e s 1 e V a 11 am!

MURMURMONTIS . fortij-eifiiit 5(Mtlor Class Editorial In reviewing the history of nations the reatler is impressed with the fact that occasionally it seems that everything ' in the universe has worked in har- mony to bring about some event, the influence of which is world wide and everlasting and of inestimable xalue. To trive a complete account of the past accomplishments of this class would be to write many pages. To foretell its future achievements would fill many volumes. There is no history of all ages that will be of more interest or of greater value to the people of this nation than a record of the achievements of this Senior Class of West ' irginia W ' esleyan College. This class is unique in many particulars. It is greatest in number, talent, achievement and variet} ' . The Senior Class entered Wesleyan in the fall of 1916 with a member ship of seventy-eight. Since that time the personnel of the class has so changed that now there are but forty-six with us. In talent, too, the Senior Class is wonderful. Among these are those noted as singers, poets, short-story writers, readers, orators and beauties. We also excel all other classes in achievements. At present Seniors fill the offices of President of Excelsior Literary Society: President of Y. M. C. A.; Vice-President of Y. W. C. A.; President of Chrestomathean Literary Society; Training Teacher in the Model School; Student Members of the Athletic Board, and all other leading offices of Wesleyan. Besides, some of the greatest responsibilities have fallen upon the shoulders of seniors, such as taking the chapel roll and setting model examples for the other classes. Some of the most marked and best lasting Cases have been originated by members of this class. By their energy- and perseverance, at the request oi the Faculty, the Scheming Movement in ' esleyan has been greatly aug- mented and benefited. In the realms of athletics the Senior Class has made a record. Fisher, Beck and Flymes hav played on the varsit) ' for four years. Then, too, there are Milliron and Ros ' i. Kelcel has coached the Buckhannon High School team in basketball for three years and his ability along this line has been well demonstrated by the splendid showing that B. H. S. has made in athletics. We have no way of judging the future but by the past, and with such a record of past triumphs why may we not contemplate a glorious future? Though we may never wear the statesman ' s laurels, the poet ' s chaplet of bays; though our influence may never reach beyond the boundaries of the deep and dark blue ocean, yet guided by an unshaken determination to do the right, we will have accomplished that which is so necessary to the welfare and happiness of people and the establishment of truth and justice.

Kveiy Junior oirl ' s true Miie, And every man ' s a man. In the earlv aut inin of 1917. when W. ' . W. C. flung open wide her welcome arms lo our class of one hundred and two, little did the faculty and those erudite upperclassmen realize the potential greatness lying within the fertile minds of the illustrious Class of ' 21. Time and the ceaseless tide of liuman distractions have taken away a goodly number of our classmates; yet we still have with us an aiul)itious group of future doctors, lawyers, minis- ters, missionaries, publicists and business men. The future is looming bright with the glories of achievement. Ours is the busiest class in Wesleyan. When there is a great, big job to he done, it is pcrfectl} ' nattiral for a Junior to do it. Despite the fact that we have more responsibilities to meet than any other class, we are always on hand at the zero hour to help our school out of difficulties. Even a casual glance over the directories of the school organizations will show just how the Juniors arc regarded by all wdio know theiu. Our class officers for the school year 1919-20 are : Mahre Stark, Presi- dent ; F. Smith Lowther, Vice-T ' resident ; Orpah Hayniond, Secretary and Treasure r. Under such leadership huw can we escape reaching fames highest pinnacle in the life of Wesleyan. ' e liO])e that we have tlirough our persistent and untiring efforts; througli our worthy and lasting accomplishments; through our lives of unceasing loyalty to all things Wesleyan ; and through the agency of this publication — Tlie MurmurnKintis ' 21 ' — inspired every young heart in this dear, old school of ours to do their tasks faithfully, to meet their responsi- bilities witliout flinching, — even as we have ever tried to do. May all be inspired by the record our class has made to do noble things, not dream them all day long; and thus make life, death, and that vast forever, One Grand Sweet Song.

MURMURMONTIS ? cjnhtij-ntue Sop )om.ovz (Tlass Editorial West irginia W ' esleyaii lias had many classes of which to be proud, bvit none which were more worthy of her pride than the class of 1922 which made its appearance on the W ' es- leyan campus September 10. 1918. Some came from the hay- fields and some from the cities, but all have assimilated into an ideal class. W ' e are noted for our optimistic natures and our good times have not been few. Miss Xeptune pronounced our Leap Year Party the best class party she ever attended, surpassing e en the Facult - jiarties. Our flag tlew in 1918 amidst all obstacles and twice have we torn the 1923 flag from its high position. Our class has won distinction for itself in debating, music and art, and many honors for its athletes, humorists and ora- tors. Never before has a class had such prospects ; what we lack in numbers is more than made up in (|uality. May the class of 1922 maintain its present standing and add new laurels both in college and in the world. m MURMURMONTIS f mncty oP MOrrO LAUNCHED BUT WOT AHCHQ-R D C L.A SS OFFICE fHS_ P ' ?ESI£)ENT HERMANN K ' JPCHWEfi ' Vj ' ce PR£S.

It is the largest class that has ever entered ' esleyan and. in this as in other particulars has an enviahle record ] Tanv of the boys of our class were in the service, hut were disap])iiinted in not g ' etting to the front. On. entering W ' esleyan their freshman trials and adventures began ; thev were soon valiantly fighting against another form of kaiserism. Into this warfare thev put all their pent up energy, and it brought results. The Sophs began their autocratic rule but we, the 0)5- pres.sed, united in a strenuous effort to break down the shackles of despotism. Earlv in the semester we gathered our hosts together, and elected Her- man Kirchner, President- .Arthur Upton, ' ice-Fresident : Donna Dorsey, Secretary ; fohn Rohrbough, Treasurer. Our Class Reception held in the Gym, early in October, was oted a grand success by all attending. We becatue better acquainted and many of our serious ' ' cases date from this luemorable occasion. The Freshman class has a just pride for her athletes, having seven rep- rcsentatix ' es on the regular football squad, and four on the varsity basketball teairi. .AIsl) we are the imdisputcd victors in the interclass basket liall contests. C)uv ranlcs ha e been twice visited by the Grim Monster, Death. The iovs of our first months at ' esleyan have been dimmed by the loss of these our beloved classmates — Donald Wallace McWhorter and Rebecca Frances W orknian. In our affections they can never be replaced. In all acti ities of the college our class has its leaders, . lthough we have made mistakes, still we can say our first year at ' esleyan has been happy and successful. We look forward to the ensuing years with a confidence born of determination. BERXICE WELLS. BOOK IV.

CLASS HISTORY On the upt-ning day of school there was gathered together a numljer of students who were mostl_v new in their experience at Wesleyan Academy. We organized our class, which will in future years Ije ranked as one that really added to the student life of the Academy. Our class is proud of the fact that we have three veterans of the world war among our number, who. followed the Stars and Stripes over the seas. One of our number spent consideralile time on the gridiron with the scrubs, receiving abuse and miisuse in order that tlie college team might be better able to defeat the teams with wliom they clashed. Some of the girls started their careers in the line of singing and are fast ])rogressing up the ladder of fame. ( )thers continued their practice of Tickling the Ivories and are reaching the stage where it is indeed a privilege to hear them The future holds unlimited advantages for this class, that the college classes cannot secure. Tiie large Endowment Fund that is now being raised will put new buildings on our Campus, increase the Facultv, enlarge the athletic schedule and gi e to this school the advantages tliat have been in the dreams of the former students since the school was first founded. .Ml of these advantages will, with many others, be ready for this class when i ' -. members have finished tlieir ])re|) work and are students in the college. We have received inspiration and help from those around us, and a love for eslevan has grown within us which will always be held dear. MURMURMONTIS ? one hundred twenty EDWAUD G.

In planning and carrying out the training of future teachers, whether for hi:;h schools or elementary schools, two principal aims are kept in view: 1. To prepare students for teaching in the kind of schools that they will find when thev begin their work, instead of preparing them for teaching under ideal conditions. 2. In addition to jireparing the student for teaching in the typical school, he is given a view of the progress that is being made in educa- tion so he will have such a vision that he will be able to see beyond the present educational system, and take a part in promoting a better system of schools. These two aims are not at all inconsistent and antagonistic, but they are supplementary. The courses for high school teachers are for students who expect to teach in high schools after graduation from the College. If a student earns twenty-four semester hours of credit in education as prescribed in the catalog, and does the required practice teaching, upon receiving his degree he is recommended to the State Board of Education for a high school certificate. yKbout fifty students are enrolled in these courses. The normal courses are of two kinds: the Standard Xormal Course, which requires two vears after a regular four-year high school course, and leads to a Standard Xormal Certificate, accepted by the State Board as a practicallv permanent license for teaching in any school of the State; the Short Course which requires one year after the completion of a three or a four year high school, upon which the State Board grants a certificate for teaching in elementary schools. Some of the advantages of attending the W ' esleyan normal courses are: 1. .VearU- all credits earned can be used toward a degree. A student after a high school course of 16 units can complete both the Standard Xormal Course and a deeree course in four vears. 2 3. ment ' - 4. 5. 6.

Another division of the Department of Education is the Training School. This school is for practice teaching and observation by the student teachers. It consists of the usual six grades in cliarge of three critic teachers, and the junior high school (grades seven, eiglit, and nine) in charge of one critic te;icher. The Professor of Education acts as principal of the school. There are about sixty pupils cnrplled. MURMURMONTIS rme hundred Urrnlii-cinht iDefartment of Jpubllc SfeaKlng MINNA L. HARDIN(;, B.O.

Art is not alone a matter of sculptured stone and tinted canvas. It is very closeh ' allied to science, literature and nature Art and literature, when traced back tn their he innings, are seen tn have had a common origin and a common purpuse. The Literature nf the prim- itive man consisted of pictures, and in the Art of the primiti e man mav he found the beginnings of our alphabets. The cummon purpose was to trans- mit, throiTgh the eye, fact ?, ideas and emotions. The whole field of aesthetics extends over fine nature as well as the fine arts and without a sensitiveness to the appeal of one, the other would not exist. This school of instruction has its f ' umdalinn in the studv of form, color, the laws of light and shade, and perspective. It is for the development of the individual ' s creative ability, because it creates the abilitv to understand and appreciate all that is aesthetic in art and life. The development of the appreciatiim of the beautiful has come to be an irnportant part of the scheme of liberal education. Signs are not wanting • hat a new day is at the dawning. .

Imagi- nation is the keynote to all progress. The architect sees the completed build- ing before a brick is laid. The inventor conceives the end to be reached before he constructs a device to achieve the result. The general conceives the plan oi campaign previous to giving the first marchin.g order. Just so, young peo|)le of today must choose their vocations with a clear conception of an anticipated resi ' lt to be obtained in both the immediate and the (listant future, and the commercial world is urgenllv calling for killful executive al)ilit - ami the trained organizer. ' I ' he captains of industry are seeking brains — specialized brains — men and women with trained abilitv and the initiative for big leadership. Xever jje- fore has the commercial world issued such an insistent call for com|)etent workers. .Advancement is the watchword of the School of Commerce and its aim to train young people for the needs of the day — not merelv to fill clerical positions but to become business masters — industry alone does not insure success. It is but one element Brain counts most heavily and the person who does not think is already a failure. In the School of Commerce young people are trained to think as well as to do and are building character and strength for the demands of the day. We reriect upon a past of splendid achievement.

Home F.conomics was introduced into our school several years ago but its importance was not recognized until letters Ijegan to file in from prac- tically every county of the state, asking for Home Economics teacliers. The state is no longer dreaming of what efficiency in the home should l)e, but rather demanding that its girls receive in the schools practical training, that will not be closed behind bookcase doors the day after school closes. Lnder the auspices of Miss Royce, who comes to us from Cornell, this department is measuring up to the demands. It is not, as is sometimes in- sinuated, that the girl ' s purpose in choosing Home Economics as a major is to demonstrate her kn-iwledge to one, luit to follow her great work and .$150 per will follow her name.

The ' esleyan College Y. M. C. A. is one of the greatest factors we have in the reliiiious life of tlie school. Through its iuflu- nce many have gone from these halls with strong Christian characters which have made an indelible impress upon the life of this State and nation. At the Y. M. C. A. s annual election in the spring of 1919, Minor C. Miles was elected president. However at the beginning: of this school year, it was learned that dining th? summer Mr. Miles had completed enoujdi w(n ' k to entitle him to a degree. He was thus no longer a member of the student body but accepled a position on the facult.v of Wesleyan Academy. A special election was held, and Beryl II. Barnes was elected to succeed the retiring president. Under his leadership we have enjoyed a rather successful year, and it IS hoped that next year the inlhiencc of the Y. will touch an oven greater portion of ihe student body. Special meetings weie held during the winter, lasting two weeks, under the combined supe7vision of the two Christian .Associations. Dl ' . F. W. Hannon of Drcv Theological Seminary was secured to conduct these meetings, which were a fruitful source of inspiration to all tliose in attendance. , This year, the Y. M. C. A. lecture conr ;e, un.ier the efficient mrnai enient of Joseph C. Hoffman, presented si.x good numbers. It was counted a success both artistically anl financially. A still more highly recommended course has been purchased for the com.ing year. i v MURMURMONTIS ,i , ovc toiiidrcd fiftij-cif ht V. W. C. .

The purpose of Chresto is social efficiency. It aims to train its mem- bers to think clearl}-, talk convincingly, and to act with ease, poise and dignity. Yet there is no objection to a little nonsense and fun every now and then since it is realized that a frowning brow is not alw ' ays a sign of wisdom. Chresto is a social center where genial spirits meet and mingle. It is a school in which are trained tlie men and women who shall fa.shion and moidd our institutions and direct our country in the paths of its glorious destiny.

School life is incom- plete without some clash of scholarly yet good natured opinions on the para- moimt questions facing the American people. C_)ur analytical observation will reveal a membership of twentv-thrce of the best members available; a ihorouehly efficient and organized gror.]i of i.ung men willing to do and dare for the gli ' rv of the club whose banner has never touched the ground during this school year. Loyaltv to W ' esleyan Club cannot be compared: every member has a desire within his heart to do everything possible to maintain the excellence of the past. The Harding C ' ip. a trophy of i-are beauty and exquisite design, has been the bone of contention between the W ' esleyan and Webster Clubs for three years. At the beginning of this -ear a tie existed between the con- testans, and the final clash came not many days ago. The rules governing this contest stated that tv. ' O out of three debates were necessary for either of the clubs to retain the cup. The first of those memorable victories was gainef ' comparatively earlv in the year bv Holloway and Brooks. With such an impetus to spur us forward we were determined to win the second debate. thereb - proving a third encounter unnecessary. On April 8th the sonorous rumblings of confiict permeated rlie atmosiihtre. In the college auditorium on tl.at dav W ' esleyan launched an offensi e which broke completely the commonlv called -mpregnable vall of the Websterites. This time Hoffman and Tiosley brough.t home the bacon, and today W ' esleyan marches forward with banners and an unbroken morale. What more need be said? Sufficient it is to say that the beautiful trophv now proudly graces a pedeslal in our cluh room. MUBMURMONTIS f one hundred sciu.nli ' Cir ht vi;i,s ' ri:K kkmatinc n.

Through the efforts of coach Drumm and Athletic Director Shumaker, it looked as thong-h Wesleyan would have one of the most successful seas ms of her athletic history. Of the letter men that returned, five played m the .yanie in which e-.leyan deicatcd West Virginia Universitv in 1917. These were I-sher, Heck, Tschappatt, Snedegar, and Hymes. The season opened with l)a is and lUkin.s College, a team ol minor im- portance, but the game was one that displayed the wonderful speed of Wes- leyan ' s materia!. They then made their first trip to .Alliance, Ohio, where Mt. Union College was defeated in a fast and exciting game The first de- feat came when ( jeorgetown was met at Washington ; a hard fought battle in which the opponents scored in llie last period of the game. Of tilt t io games following, Wesleyan liad :in easy time defeatii.g ( jtterbein and Lebanon alley. No doubt one of the best games of the season v as played at .Annapolis. Here esleyan produced real strength and played a hard game. The mid- shipmen proved themselves better mud horses, but both teams suffered about e(mallv from failure to hold the ball, and the winning eleineiLt was the staunchness of the Navv line. The Navy made all of its points in the first half W ' esleyan ' s score came with about half of the final period over. . bad pass from the Xavy centre caused a fumldc, and Fisher grablxd it and ran seventy yards for a touch-down. So far, the season was considered one of the bcot, one tliat all followers of the Orange and Black were very ])roud of. But following the struggle with the Xavy, W ' esleyan sufiered a most disastrous defeat at the hands of the well-known coach, Greasy Xeale. There is a lot of hard luck in foot- ball. I ' he worst kind of it. Boners are not the sole and only cause why a good team goes down in defeat. Hard luck, the jinx or the breaks in a .game, blast about as manv hopes for gridiron supremacy as any other handicap. i,)f course in this particular game Wesleyan encountered a team equal to them, but off color was the main reason for the utfeat. Severe injuries received in games preceding the encounter with Wash- ington and Jefferson, left Wesleyan without the generalshij) of William Snedeger. Martz and Tscha])i)att were also unable to put forth all they had. The result was a defeat that looks bad, but is not as bad as it looks, for the score does not indicate the strength of the Orange and Black, neither does it lead vou to believe that the uame w.is full of thrills ami wonderful playing — but it was. The game closing a season that in some respects can be considered suc- cessful, was the one that displayed Vesleyan ' s real speed and strength. Al- thc ugh every man on the team played a brilliant game, Snedegar, Beck, Fisher, and Radman were the most noticeable stars. ir II MURMURMONTIS two hundred four VS E.| n4 ' i ROHRBAUGH 1 1) If GRAHAM FARNSWORTH MURMURMONTiS tno hvndrfd five ir J5I MURMURMONTIS ? tiio hmuU ' id sir MURMURMONTIS tiro hnvdrrd seven : ttsKet a The 1920 ba- ketball rive which rcpiesenTed West irginiH W eslevaii is heralded the fastest basketball team ever developed in any West Virginia Col- lege.

The defensive work and floor game of the guards in preventi ng scoring on the part of the opponents was as big a factor in the game as the speed, passwork, and all-around play of the forwards and centers. Too much credit cannot he given t(i the coach and manager of tlie team, Ernest L.

It far eclipsed all previous tournaments in every respect and when Davis of Carnegie sounded his whistle for the start of the preliminaries, the spacious gym was filled with throngs of visitors from all sections of the state. There was Weston with a cheer- in? delegation of two hundred right on the job and competing for the Fleming Loving Cup of- fered by Dr. Fleming and presented to the dele- gation doing the be. t cheering. Grafton was also represented by a delegation of one hundred, Fai. ' mont with one hundred and fifty, Elkins with one hundred, Clarksburg with two hundred, Charleston with one hundred and the hosts of Buckhannon, and when these cheering clubs got irt action it seemed that the roof would be lifted off the big gymnasium. Forty-eight teams were entered in the tour- nament this year which number is ; ' ar greater than any ever entered in previous tournaments. Every section of the liittle Mountain State, the Switzerland of . merica, was represented: New Cumberland cnr.ie in for the first time, being a representative of Hancock County, the extreme county in the northern panhandle. Many other teams, about fifteen in number, from various sections of the state, received their initiation. Special trains to Weston, Clarksburg, Fair- mont. Elkins, and Sago, were run for the ac- •„ ' onimodation of the teams and visitors. Hotel accomodations were available for all. The peo- ple of Buckhannon generously threw open their homes for the benefit of teams and visitors, and about one hundred avail ' ible rooms held by the management were not used. The tournament was ;ilanned and directed by Myron B. Hymes, a senior in co l- lege and one whose executive ability cannot be over-estimated. Under him were about one hundred and fifty subordinates whose valiant work cannot be questioned. The organization was perfect and worked like a well-oiled machine, with the ap- proval and liighest commendation of all concerned. The teams as a whole were .stronger than ever before, proving that the tournament is a great coaching ground for green teams, as well as a great experience for the boys participating in it. This fact is further proved by the iuiniber of dark horses- that loomed forth throughout the tournament. The winner of the tournament, Clendenin, was presented with a lay s e silver tiopiiy, solid gold basketballs for each man on the team, captured a good nu.-.ber of the individual prizes, and was sent to Chicago as representative of West VirK ' nia in the National tournament. The runners up. Moundsville. were presented with a loving cup, solid gold basketballs and also sent lo Chicago. Weston won the Fleming Cheering Cup. and the tournament ended with a kind feeling tor everyone and a host ot friends were gained for Wesleyan College. MYRON B.

Daddy Scribner, who had won most of his games that season, and who it had been decided wonld pitch this game against his school ' s old rivals — Daddy had acute appendicitis and would undergo an operation on the day of the game. Lefty McCuo had an ankle fractured sliding into third during the last game. Jack North had the mumps. There was only one pitcher left — Guy Harrison. In spite of Shortv Grubb ' s great knowledge of coaching baseball and of baseball pitchers, pitcher (iuv Harrison was a puzzle. He could pitch six innings of wonderful ball, then in the seventh, walk man after man. . nd in that inning if he did get the ball across the plate and between the Icnees and shoulders, anyone could knock it a mile. In the seventh, (iuy Harrison acted like a tent with its pegs loose in a wind-storm. The night before the big game. Coach ( irubli went down t wn id meet an old friend who had come to see Shorty ' s team ])lay. Holden. remarked the coach to his old friend after they had talked a while, I ' m up against it Don ' t bet one cent on the game tiMnorrow, for I ' ve a m an pitching who hasn ' t won a game this year. Well, maybe it ' s just his time to — who is he ' -! questioned Holden. . fellow l)v the name of Harrison — Guy Harrison, said Slmrly. lie ' s a von lerful man for six innings. Then poof! up he goes! In a chair by Coach Grubb ' s side sat a man who showed little interest in what was being said until Guy Harrison ' s name was mentioned Then, when the coach finished speaking the stranger tap]ied his arm. Pardon, friend, said the stranger, mv name is Holman. Grubb is mv name, said the coach, eyeing the stranger, am! this is niy fried Holden. ' Gentlemen, said Holmen, I am just happening through here on a business trip. I am not acquainted at all in this section, nor in this state. But as I understand it, there is going to be a ball game here tomorrow of some importance, and a fellow named ( my Harrison is to pitch for you. May I ask who is this Harrison? Why, Guy Harrison, said Grubb, is a big yellow- dub from a prep school down South. He, to begin with, made no pretense of being a pitcher of note — just came out for pitching and showed stuff. In practice games he pitched two or three innings as is the usual case, and we dubbed him a phenom. We even plaved him the first game of the season. Well, up to the seventh inning he had fourteen strikeouts and a no-hit game, ' olnderful pitching. Control, smoke, — everything. Then, before going into the seventh he asked to be taken out. ' Go on in there, you mut, ' I said, angry — ' g O in there and win a record for yourself. ' Not a man of the opponents had seen first, you see. He went in all right, and the other team ran six runs across before I could get him relieved. ' Is your arm gone? ' I asked when he came into the bench. ■ ' Yep, ' he said, but I didn ' t believe him. He worked hard afterward, so, in two weeks I gave him another chance. The same re- sult. He ' s -ellow, that ' s all. MURMURMONTIS ttvo hundred liniity-fcui I believe, said Holman slowly — hhcIIv, they tli(iut;ht. — I hclievo I know your pitcher Harrison. ' ' • ' Here ' s a .«iiap of him, saiil Shorty, hriiit;in his haml from an inner poekct. ' ' Yes, ' ' (lofhi ' pd Hohnan shiwiy. as lines of j ain drew across his face, — ' ' I know him. And I do not believe your man is yellow. You see I live in the town where he went to preparatory school. He is a wonder. But a coach down there nearly ruined him. This coach had never tieen a pitcher, and he didn ' t know how to treat a pitcher. A kid like Han-ison was, can ' t j;et out and throw a ball au hour, then pitch two or thrt ' e inninjis, d:iy aftei day, some days pitching whole games, and keep his arm. A man can ' t do it and keep in sliape. But that coach thought it ought to 1)0 done. Well, I ' ve seen the kid pitch some wonderful ball, too, until about the si.xth or seventh. Then he ' d go all in — really go all in. He was overworked. Once he told me that he felt never again could he last over the hoodoo, the seventh, and, finally, the seventh became his hooddoo. Now I ' m going to stay over and see this game tomorrow, and By gingoes! I have it! exclaimed Grubb. HaiTison is going to win tomorrowl Y ' ou gentlemen excuse me for a while. I ' m going to get some pep generators to steal that score board, this night. Old man. he laughed, grasping Holman ' s hand, you ' ve won that game for us! Wonder, tpieried Holman. as Coach Grubb hurried away, Wonder what he meani — ' you ' ve won that game for us ' — pep generators — score board ? ' ' Dnnno, ' ' smiled Holden, Shorty ' s a funny bird sometimes. While Grubb, Holden, and Holman were winning tomorrow ' s game at the town hotel. Miss Jane Burr was also winning it in the parlor of the college Ladies ' Hall. Guy, she was saying, soft and low, with that light in her eyes, — sonie of us know so well. Guy, you either win this game tomorrow or take back this pin. Everyone has been saying you are yellow, sometimes I almost believe it. I ' ve done everything but tight for you and no one would fight me or I ' d have done that. Now, I ' m about through. ' Jane, ' ' Harrison answered, If I lose tomorrow, I don ' t care what happens after that. If 1 lose I ' m thru with everything. If I lose — ch, I can ' t think of it, that ' s alll ■ ' Please, please, Guy dear, win for me. ' ' pleaded the girl. I ' ll win for you and ' ' Ju.st for me Guy dear, ,iust for mc ' ' Then she changed — ' ' and if you don ' t uin I ' ll never speak to you again! Then unlil the preceptress came and turned him ont, tlicy kopf going over tliis dialogur . When the crowd walked on to the college athletic lidd the following day. everyone inquired concerning the whereabouts of the score-board. Oidy th coach and a certain crowd of enthusiastic rooters, who called themselves the Pep Generators, knew. There seemed U) lie something mysterious about ever ' thing. There isn ' t much to tell aliout the game up to the end of the sixth. The home team had scored twice, and had prolonged each inning by tilling the bases and making the visitors work for every oul . Harrison however, ha l pitched his usual wonderful ball for the usual si.x innings. As he came into the bench, a lioy tuought him a note from the crowd. It read: I am here to see you break our old hoodoo, for I know you can, and too, to forgi ' e you for losing the big game at home last year. I didn ' t know where mother had sent you after I disowned you because I thought you yellow. I watched for your name, couldn ' t find it. so I knew ' on ' d changed it. I ' ve forgiven you boy. Go in and win. I know now that you ' re not yellow, for you haven ' t given up trying. Your dad, THOMAS H. HOLMAN. That night, in the parlor of the college ladies ' hail, this question was asked ever; ' five minutes: Vou did win for me, didn ' t you Guy, dear? And answered: U-huh, — yes, Jane dearest. ' ' Oh Guy, I told the girls you would! Then there ' d be four minutes and twent v secont of near silence. ORVILLE E. ROBERTS ' 21. is!%a MURMURMONTIS tiro hnndrcd iwcntij-five Nineteen If fun6re6 an6 Owent an6 X )t (Greater The year 1920 will go down as one of the most important years in the history of ' est ' irginia W ' esleyan College. We are completing the Victory Fund of five hundred tliousand dollars. When the pledges now being taken are paid in. the total endowment of the institution will reach the one million dollar mark. The snrcess of this movement is a demonstration of a new awakening in appreciation of the importance of the work which West Virginia is doing. This new awakening is .showing itself not only in increased liberality but also in the enlarged attendance which the College record shows at the present time. The attendance is twenty-five per cent in advance of the highest previous peace time record. The present facilities of the College are taxed almost to their limit. The educational surveys made by the Interchurch World Movement and by the Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church show that our friends beyond the liorders of the State now realize the amazing educational opportunity which ' est Virginia ' esleyan is facmg. We are sure that the new awakening will rapidly make it possible for the institution to secure the additional equipment and facilities for the meeting of this opportimit} ' . With one million dollars secured for endowment, ' eslevan will gird herself for the next stage in the advance to her goal of greatness The next goal will involve the securing of an additional anniunt not less than one million dollars. At least one million dollars will be imperativelv necessarv in order to care for the needs of our rapidly enlarging work. More tlian a half million dollars will be required for the erection of new buildings which esleyan must have. V e need a new dormitory for women. Ever - room in our present dormitory was reserved more than a month before the opening of the col- lege last Septembe, and it became necessary for us to turn away twenty-five girls who could not come because the College could not be responsible for their care. We need a new dormitory for men. We also need a central dining lull. We ought to have an educational hall in which to liouse the X ' ormal De - partment and Model School. This building would make available the addi- tional classroom facilities to care for our rapidly expanding work. We will have our new library in the near future. We must have a new heating plant and we must enlarge the Gvmnasium. The first step in this great program of enlareement will be the employ- ing of a landscape architect to lay out our campus ground and to show the proper location for the new buildings contemplated and others that mav be needed in our work as the years pass. This will have the attention of oar Trustees at once. ' I he big building program will necessitate additional endowment funds for tlie proper care and maintenance of the buildings. The accomplishment of the 3 ' ear 1920 will make possible a vastlv greater W ' esleyan within the next six or seven years.

To solve this dilemma of ultra belligerency vs. aggravated pacifism, this Club is indispensable to- the normal development of our beloved Col- lege. The stubborn .gang organized with Curtis H. Springer as president, a champion poultry expert of Ohio county, and with our Dean as faculty adviser. L ' nder this wiselv chosen leadership the walls of Administration lU-iilding began to quiver and quake so refractory were these leather-shod representatives of the Balaam family. The membership committee is on the lookout for pure bred mules and ill recei e into the local stable any such who are stubborn enough to create indignation in a crowd of friendlv student ; who are willing to dis- agree with any measure no matter hnw wise or faultless it may seem. The peaceable souls are taken in on probation. After developing an ample sup- ply of egotism, intolerance and misdirected self-confidence, they become act ' ve members. To all members is gi cn a license, written ur implied, to butt into all conversations, anywhere, at any time, public or private. Even the causal observer will note that the Brother Mules avail themselves of this pre- rogative on every occasion.
