This little volume is published neither for literary critics nor the unsympathetic public. Here has been made merely an attempt to record the serious and the humorous, tlie work and the play of the Class of ' 22, so that in the years to come, when we look back in reverie, we shall have the printed page and the laughing picture to recall the glorious deeds of our past youth.

Heaven is not reached by a single bound; We build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And ice mount to its summit round by round. It is with a particular pleasure that the Class of ' 22 hereby dedi- cates this the seventeenth volume of the Murmurmontis to Mr. Clyde 0. Law — a man with the highest of ideals, with the patriotism of a true American and the character of a Christian gentleman. In times past he has proved to be a true friend to Wesleyan College. To us falls the distinction of expressing our appreciation and of bestowing upon him the honor that is ours to confer. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. Mr. Law is a native of Lawford, in Ritchie County, West Virginia. He received his preparatory training in Wesleyan Academy and graduated from the College proper in 1909. Two years he spent in teaching school, after which he attended the Graduate School of Business Administration in connection with Har- vard University, graduating there in 1913. After his advent from Harvard, he entered the life insurance business in Clarksburg, representing the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company. His work was characterized by rapid progress, and after two years he entered into a partnership with George Paul Roberts, a former Wesleyan man. On January 1, 1920, the firm of Law Roberts became general agents for the State, with their head- quarters in Wheeling, where they are making an unparalleled success in the insurance field. It looks as though they have the business ability of seeing things as they are and doing them as they ought to be done. In 1914 Mr. Law married Miss Maude Lininger, a former Wesleyan girl. On October 20, 1920, they became the proud parents of a splen- did baby daughter. Besides his business interests, Mr. Law was especially active in patriotic work during the World War, being chairman of the Red Cross of Harrison County, as well as active in every loan campaign. He also has allied himself closely with religious work while both in Clarksburg and in Wheeling. When the Alumni Association went in search of a capable leader it centered its choice on the selection of our friend, who has since instilled into it a large percentage of his interest and enthusiasm, making it a stronger factor than ever in the history of West Virginia Wesleyan. By reason of having been elected to the Board of Trustees, he is becoming more and more influential in the progress of the College. We cannot adequately express a verbal tribute our benefactor justly deserves. The development of a Greater Wesleyan to the high- est standards attainable will be a living monument to the spirit of his work. Page 5 Board of Trustees President Judge Charles W. Lynch.

Fleming Victory for Wesleyan is never far distant when the crow ' s-feet appear on the temples of our beloved President. His virile brain has never failed us in the crucial hour. Added to his superior ability as a constructive administrator, Dr. Fleming possesses a magnetic personal power arising from an unmistakable heartiness in his expression, in his smile, in his handshake, in all that he says and does. In the art of pleasing his is the master ' s crown. With a perfect poise of manner, with a delightful directness of speech, with a ready sympathy for all, his presence is irrestible. Since 1915 Wesleyan has profited by the undivided efforts of this gifted son of Methodism. Each link in the chain of unparalleled progress has been fashioned and wrought by this natural leader of men. Today the patrons and students of Wesleyan are ready to attempt whatever he wills, for we know that with his breadth of vision he has the invaluable faculty of accomplishment. The school has been deprived of an inspiring personal contact with Dr. Fleming for an extended period this year. In the distant land of the setting sun he has labored, with characteristic success, to advance the cause of Christian education. While we have missed the cheer and encouragement of his association, we know that others have been made glad by our deprivation. When Puget Sound called for a represent- ative we sent our best. So, while light delays He seeks the fittest word to fill his phrase; Nor vain nor idle his fastidious guest, His chosen word is sure to prove the best. Page 8 PRESIDENT WALLACE B. FLEMING Page 9 Thomas W. Haught, A. M. Types of the wise who soar, but never roam; True to the khl ' dred points of Heaven and Home. — Wordsworth. Wisdom, foresight and strength of will displayed in an executive and judicial capacity are qualities which bespeak success in any leader. Such in a marked degree are the possessions of our Dean. A native product and for many years connected with the institution in an official capacity, he is the true type of the Wesleyan spirit. Dean Haught is well qualified for his work. In 1894 he graduated from the West Virginia Seminary. His A. B. bears the seal of West Virginia University, 1896 ; his A. M. was conferred by our own insti- tution. He has done two years ' post-graduate work in chemistry at Harvard and Johns Hopkins. Twenty more years in the school of experience have given us an executive of whom we are justly proud. A greater and a better Wesleyan is the flame of his hopes and aspirations. Firmly planted on the vantage ground of Truth, he is never diverted from his aims by problems of any degree of perplexity. At times a mark for criticism, as any executive must be, it is a pleasure to see his superior judgment invariably forge to the front. Those who know him best trust him most. It is noble to give one ' s life in foreign service ; it is heroic to give up a life on a battle-field for human rights ; but what can be more deserving of praise than to live one ' s threescore years in a single community directing aright those lives which come under one ' s influence. This is the work of Dean Haught at Wesleyan. Page 10 DEAN THOMAS W. HAUGHT Page 11 LEWIS H. CHRISMAN, Ph. B.. A. M.

Instruction in this department is intended to prepare the student for college entrance and to afford a general training to those who are not able to complete a college course. Students of the academy possess advantages which could not be found elsewhere. The academic student in his contact with college folks, college functions and college organizations has his hori zon inevitably widened. This could hardly help being a great impetus to ambition. Students in Wesleyan Academy are heirs to the traditions of the past, the history of the present and the ineffable hopes of the future — heirs to the visible embodiment of certain invisible influences. The administrative powers have deviated from the customs of the past concerning the instructors of the academy. For the first time in the history of the school the chairs of the different depart- ments have been filled entirely by college upper classmen. The dis- tinction and honor have fallen to those who have made a creditable record in the past and who are capable of giving instruction in the subject they have been assigned. To pass upon the efficacy of the new- plan is left to those in authority over us, but no serious complaints have come from them, and quo jure can they defer credit to those brave souls who have done their best.

It is an impossibility for us to por- tray all the talents, virtues and charms of Louise. She is an ex- cellent student and has a gracious and lovable personality, which will add unrivaled successes in her chosen field of journalism. J. BRUCE McWHORTER, A. B. Buckhannon, W. Va. Cowen H. S. ' 17, Y. M. C. A., Ex- celsior, Wesleyan Debating Club, member Athletic Council, Presi- dent Senior Class ' 21, Murmur- montis Staff ' 21. Such a man is worthy of the presi- dency of any class. He is a pro- found thinker, logical reasoner and matchless organizer. With his departure Wesleyan will lose one of the best fellows that have ever attended school here. There is no doubt whatever but his career in Harvard will reflect honor on his old Alma Mater. Page 2k GLYDE BAILEY, A. B. Buckhannon, V. Va. B. H. S. ' 15, Normal ' 17, Chresto, Y. W. C. A. This quiet brown-eyed girl is a most valued member of our class. A more loyal and devoted student in Wesleyan would be hard to find. Glyde was never known to lose her temper or speak ill of any one. She is quiet, studious, and always knows her lessons. JAMES L. HARVEY, A. B. ( CAP ) Buckhannon, W. Va. Glenville Normal, Wesleyan Acad- emy ' 16, President Chresto ' 20, President Wesleyan Debating Club ' 21, A. E. F. Club, Officer U. S. Army, Student Manager Baseball ' 20- ' 21. Everybody knows Cap, the Pecks Run idol. This is a man of ex- treme executive ability. He has been President of the Chresto- mathean Literary Society. He has a variegated vocabulary of jaw-breaking words, and very frequentl y a glossary is required to get a full meaning of his state- ments. Page 25 KATHARINE ELIZABETH BERRY, A. B. ( KATIE ) Sutton, W. Va. S. H. S. ' 15, Treasurer Y. W. C. A. 21, MURMURMONTIS ' 21. Her manners are so pleasing and kindly that she makes friends of all with whom she meets. When it comes to class spirit and genu- ine interest in what is going on Katie is right there with the goods, and any mention of a quit- ter is sure to bring forth an ex- pression of extreme disgust from her august self. Her future is illumined with success. FRANKLIN SMITH LOWTHER, A. B. ( SMITTY ) Mannington, W. Va. M. H. S. ' 17, Men ' s Glee Club, Wes- leyan Debating Club, Excelsior, Cheer Leader ' 20- ' 21, Y. M. C. A., Student Manager Basket-ball ' 20. Short in stature but mighty in spirit. In Smitty there is com- bined a beautiful mixture of mu- sic and noise — music for the Glee Club and noise and pep for any sort of athletic contests. When it comes to fun or any sort of pranks Smitty is right there. He is Wesleyan through and through, and if you don ' t believe it, start something. Page 26 EMMA LEVINA SHUMAKER, A. B. ( BETTY ) Buchannon, W. Va. B. H. S. ' 17, Chresto, Y. W. C. A.. Girls ' Basket-ball, Secretary Senior Class. Born in Buckhannon and dwelling there ever since, Betty early entered Wesleyan and early be- came a general favorite. She plays a spectacular game at guard (seeming to be in her fa- vorite position). Her future will be a Stark reality. MAHRE H. STARK, A. B. Charleston, W. Va. C. H. S. ' 17, Chresto, Varsity Club, Varsity Athletics, Captain Base- ball ' 21, Wesleyan Masonic Club. This lad hails from the Capital City and is indeed a capital fellow. We hesitate to speak for his fu- ture, for what he may be does not yet appear. He has showed true Wesleyan spirit on the basket-ball floor, the grid and the diamond, and the Class of ' 21 is indeed proud of his record. Page 27 ETHEL GRACE WILSON, A. B. Buckhannon, W. Va. M. H. S. ' 17, Chresto, Y. W. C. A., Girls ' Glee Club, Murmurmontis ' 21. Her manners are so pleasing and kind that she makes friends with all whom she meets. Her popu- larity as a teacher is already un- questionably evidenced in Buck- hannon High School. She will be an instructor of whom old Wesleyan will always be proud. RAYMOND S. DECK, A. B. Buckhannon, W. Va. J. M. H. S., Wesleyan Academy ' 17, Varsity Tennis ' 20, Y. M. C. A., Chresto. One of the popular members of the Kampus-Musishen-Klub. In Senior Class basket-ball Captain Deck has led his team to an in- disputable championship. The entire Class wishes him the best of success in his initial adventure of presiding over a classroom. Page 28 MARY MARGARET SIGAFOOSE, A. B. ( MARG ) Moundsville, W. Va. M. H. S. ' 17, Chresto, Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, Girls ' Glee Club, Presi- dent Y. W. C. A. ' 20, Vice-Presi- dent Senior Class, Murmurmon- tis ' 21. She has a keen sense of humor but is never frivolous, and her dignity is a good example for many others. She has never attempted anything in which she did not succeed, and we have reason to believe she will continue in the same manner. Her place in Wes- leyan will be hard to fill. JOSEPH C. HOFFMAN, A. B. ( JOE ) Davis, W. Va. D. H. S. ' 17, President Y. M. C. A., Chresto, Wesleyan Debating Club, Murmurmontis ' 21, Minis- terial Association, member Ath- letic Council. For our Joe we predict a most brilliant future. Possessing that faculty of clear articulation which makes what he says sound like the only true thing ever ut- tered, he will certainly attain to the highest position which the Methodist Church can bestow upon her true followers — namely, the bishopric. Page 29 THELMA DAWSON, A. B. ( DOSS ) Richwood, W. Va. W. I. H. S. ' 18, Excelsior, Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, Editor Pharos ' 21, Murmurmontis Staff ' 21. A busy young maid and a very con- scientious student. Her work in class has made her a favorite to all who know her. She is a gifted elocutionist and her readings have charmed many. Thelma is an interested Y. W. worker, especially when it comes to get- ting new members and furnish- ing artistic posters. PERRY EMMET O ' BRIEN, B. S. ( JUDGE ) Buckhannon, W. Va. B. H. S. ' 17, Excelsior, Y. M. C. A., Men ' s Glee Club, Murmurmontis Staff ' 21, Band. A distinguished-looking gentleman with a keen, sagacious mind. He possesses a temper unruffable ex- cept by wimmen. He shows executive ability in his position as President of the Epworth League, and his duties there pre- vent active participation in other college events. Page 30 MARY ELIZABETH SWISHER, A. B. ( BETTY ) Buckhannon, W. Va. Lewisburg Seminary, Wesley an Academy ' 17. Sedate and demure, yet no heart can be truer in all Wesleyan. Her chief bent seems to be to- ward home economics, with spe- cial emphasis on the home. One of her most attractive fea- tures is her smile, which is copy- righted for all intents and pur- poses. EMERY D. WISE, B. S. Fairview, W. Va. B. H. S. ' 17, Excelsior, Wesleyan Debating Club, Vice-President Y. M. C. A., Wesleyan Masonic Club. He is a mathematical genius as well as a chemistry shark, and if he doesn ' t blow his head off be- fore June he ought to land a pretty good job somewhere mix- ing dopes until his dream of Johns Hopkins and the rest comes true. Page 31 ICIE HOPE CLARK, A. B. ( ICIE HOPE ) Hemlock, W. Va. W. V. W. Academy ' 17, Normal ' 20, Vice-President Chresto ' 21, Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, Treasurer Senior Class, Murmurmontis ' 21. In any affair of the college life Icie is one of the hardest workers and makes a success of everything she tries. Her recent experience teaching in Wesleyan Academy proves that the schools of West Virginia are to receive an in- imitable teacher. Icie says all the Clarks either marry or re- ceive a degree, and Icie seems to be getting the degree. AMOS ADDISON THORNBURG, A. B. Parsons, W. Va. Gassaway H. S. ' 18, W. V. U., Chresto, Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, Vice-President Webster Debating Club, Ministerial Association. Amos has made for himself a repu- tation as a singer. We predict for this youth unquestioned suc- cess, due to the perfect blending of his musical and collegiate abilities. He is a brilliant stu- dent, with equable and obliging characteristics. Page 32 OR PAH C. HAYMOND, A. B. ( WILLIE ) Grafton, W. Va. G. H. S. ' 17. Chresto, Y. W. C. A., MURMURMONTIS ' 21. Popular in society circles and at the Agnes Howard Hall. She is both jolly and serious, with a marked tendency toward the former. She is turning the tables in Grafton from W. V. U. to W. V. W. C., and of her type may there be no end. She has done great things in a quiet manner, and thus she has won the admiration of the entire class, young men not ex- cluded. EGBERT E. McWHORTER, A. B. Buckhannon, W. Va. Cowen High, Wesleyan Academy ' 18, Excelsior, Webster Debating Club, Men ' s Glee Club. This light - haired, rosy - cheeked young man is as merry as the day is long. His whole-hearted in- terest in all things concerning the Class of ' 21 has made him a favorite with all his classmates. He is another of the adapt mu- sicians and can always be de- pended upon where there is music needed. His industry and integ- rity characterize him for a suc- cessful future. Pagt ■)■ ' , MARY FLORENCE HANNAH, A. B. Marlinton, W. Va. Marshall College ' 12, Chresto, Y.W. C. A. A real student, a dependable work- er and an unassuming character. She has shown exceptional judg- ment in joining the Class of ' 21, and the class members are greatly elated to count her among the great. She has already spent some time in the pedagogical world and will doubtless return to it next year. HERBERT K. BOSLEY, A. B. (H. K.) Davis, W. Va. D. H. S. ' 16, W. V. U., Editor and Chief Murmurmontis ' 21, Y. M. C. A., Wesleyan Debating Club, Chresto. It takes all sorts to make a world and Herbert seems to be a dis- tinct sort by himself. He is an exceedingly quiet, unpretenti- ous youth, with some exceptions. Femininity does not receive much recognition in his profound thoughts. But we have heard it whispered that he has been seen with a dashing felicity many times during the past year. Page .;; JULIET GRACE NUTTER, ( JEW ) West Union, W. Va. B. S. W. U. H. S. ' 17, Chresto, Y. W. C. A. To see her you would not think she was a Senior, she is so quiet and modest, but nevertheless such is the case. She is a faithful worker in Chresto, and her never failing attendance is an inspira- tion to all who take part. FORREST DAYTON DOUGLAS, A. B. ( DOUG ) Buckhannon, W. Va. Wesleyan Academy ' 19, Webster Debating Club, President Chresto ' 21, Y. M. C. A., Literary Editor Pharos ' 21. Forest is a utilitarian. He has been everything and can do anything from intercollegiate debating to taking the chapel roll. He is an A-plus student, and one of that sort who causes the profs, to wear a haunted look from trying to think up some unanswerable question. His oratorical quali- ties are above and over the ordi- nary. Page 35 ALLENE CUTRIGHT, B. S. ( CUTTY ) Buckhannon, W. Va. B. H. S. ' 18, Chresto, Y. W. C. A. Always sees the point of a joke first, and always lau;hs longest and heartiest. Her long shot is in domestic art. and in the kitch- en she will be a queen. Lucky will be the high school that se- cures the services of this young lady. M. TAMBLYN HAMRICK, A. B. ( HICK ) Clarksburg, W. Va. W. Va. W. Academy ' 14, Wesleyan Normal ' 15. Chresto, Y. M. C. A., Webster Debating Club, Student Manager Basket-ball ' 21, Foot- ball Trainer ' 20, Varsity Club. The member of our class that claims he has been here since the trees were in their infancy. To Hick athletics is as essential to the life of this school as the presence of Tommy Haught. A keen mind. a commanding personality and an unusual amount of gab make him a general favorite. Page 36 AMELIA BETH DARNALL, B. S. ( BETH ) Buckhannon, W. Va. B. H. S. ' 17, Excelsior, Y. W. C. A. Pedagogy is her major. The Miss Darnall you meet at a reception and the Beth whom you know in- timately seem like two different persons. She is a great favorite among the boys as well as the girls. Her wealth of auburn hair is the envy of the fair maidens of the campus. PAUL SCOTT HARSBARGER, A. B. ( PAP ) Milton, W. Va. G. D. H. S. ' 17, President Men ' s Glee Club, Wesleyan Debating Club, Excelsior, Y. M. C. A., Bugler Shroyer ' s Army. In singing he excels, for he is Presi- dent of the College Glee Club. Despite his shortness of stature, he has climbed high in the roll of honors. He has swayed audi- ences, baffled professors, and dic- tated the policies of his society — which he has served as Presi- dent — namely, Excelsior. Page ' 7 HUGH B. GIBSON, A. B. ( GIBBY ) Buekhannon, W. Va. B. H. S. ' 17, Y. M. C. A., Excelsior. Hugh has a quiet disposition and is far from indifferent to the fair sex. He is engaged in a noble work, and loses no time in fur- thering the work in which he is engaged. He seems to be scien- tifically inclined and will certainly be heard from in some glowing age of the future. FREDERICK MASON, A. B. Buekhannon, W. Va. B. H. S. ' 17, Shroyer ' s Army. A man with a mathematical mind and a late turn of sociability. He is very quiet and unassuming. Compared with Mason an Ips- wich Clam is the most loqua- cious bird in the beach. Page 38 JOHN W. MATHENEY, A. B. ( RAT ) Clendenin, W. Va. C. H. S. ' 17, Band, Glee Club, Chresto, Y. M. C. A., Editor-in- Chief Pharos ' 20. John has made for himself a repu- tation as a singer. He has a re- markable voice and is a valued member of the Men ' s Glee Club. He is some tenor singer, and his presence in the Kampus Kats makes them sound like grand opera. May his tribe increase. GUY P. ROLLINS, B. S. ( BEETLE ) Buckhannon, W. Va. B. H. S. ' 17, Excelsior. Guy serves the entire college world in the up - to - the - minute book store of W. A. Fowkes. However, it is not this entirely for which he is noted. We predict a mathe- matical career par excellence, with part time devoted to his chosen hobby of boxing and wres- tling. Page 39 JOHN H. BOLTON, A. B. Buckhannon, W. Va. Wesleyan Academy, Y. M. C. A., Chresto, Ministerial Association. John is the ladies ' man of the Class of ' 21, having had cases beyond the power of human mind to com- pute. He has made himself in- dispensable at the hall, and since his triumphal entry no affair there is complete without him. He has more business than a Mulligan book agent, and it is re- ported that he kept late hours during his sojourn at Benwood. He is a teacher in embryo and will wake up some morning to find himself famous. FREDERICK DAVIES BUTTEN- BAUM, A. B. ( BOOTS ) Town of Union, N. J. Union High ' 15, Columbia Univer- sity, Chresto, Y. M. C. A., Glee Club, Wesleyan Debating Club, Ministerial Association, Reserve Football, Wesleyan Masonic Club. Boots is as puzzling as the Sphinx. He is the buzzing mosquito from New Jersey. He is an athlete of some renown. Boots spends a busy day of twenty-four hours, not more than three-fourths among the ladies, and the other fourth seeking other worlds to conquer. Page ' t HAROLD M. HERBERT, A. B. Hillsdale, N. J. Westwood High, Pennington Semi- nary, Drew Theological Seminary, Wesleyan Debating Club, Y. M. C. A., Chresto, Ministerial Asso- ciation. This stately sedate old bachelor, who hails from Drew, has cer- tainly made a reputable record during his one year at Wesleyan. He has been intensely active in every organization except the Ladies ' Hall, and we fancy if he had been in a certain other school that might also have been in- cluded.

Page 1,2 Senior Class Editorial Happier the thrifty blindfold labor, With upturned eye while the hand is busy, Not sliding a glance at the coin of their neighbor — ' Tis looking downward that make one dizzy. The Class of ' 21 is characterized by business ability, perseverance and optimism — the essentials of efficiency. Every college in its times of stress realizes the necessity of turning to the real power back of the institution. Wesleyan has realized the source of this power since the fall of 1917, when the Class of ' 21 made its presence felt, and in positively no instance has this constituency failed to offer its earnest efforts to the services of Old Wesleyan. Members of the Class of ' 21 have always been called upon to fill the positions of responsibility in the student body. The presidents of the majority of the College organizations are members of the Senior class. Under the administration of J. Bruce McWhorter, we are endeav- oring toward that perfect star whose beams we cannot see without great self-sacrifice and effort, and with such strength in leadership we shall not fail to reach it. We are not leaving the walls of Wesleyan without the usual feel- ing of sadness that commencement time brings, but on the other hand we are not looking to the future through old-fashioned glasses. Fully realizing how relatively small has been our contact with the realities of life, we turn our thoughts to loftier things than our world suspects. Our philosophy of life is expressed in our motto, Ad astra per aspera. We have pledged our allegiance to our Alma Mater, and when we are graduated from this great Hall of Learning we shall be faithful to any task Wesleyan may require of us. Whether at home or abroad we shall boast the glories of our College, and mortals shall learn of her wondrous works in Jerusalem, in Judea and in the uttermost parts of the earth.

What I aspired to be And was not comforts me. Page 65 Junior Class Editorial The highest thing we can attain is not knowledge, But sympathy with intelligence. Perfect was the weather; one of those autumnal days when nature with all its abundance of grain and ungathered fruit suggests that even yet there are unperformed tasks in the Divine plan. It was in September of 1918 when modern historians reached for their calendars and enclosed within the limits of a huge circle the figure 10. On this day, perfect in all respects, there entered into the life of West Virginia Wesleyan College 211 eager, energetic young students so diversified in talents and personality that their summation was a compact, unified, harmonious whole. The Class of ' 22 entered Wesleyan during the most chaotic period of the world ' s his- tory. Amidst the problems of increased production and the struggle of nations in a world war, these students took up their work with the idea of thereby being better prepared to serve in the period of reconstruction. It can be said of the Class that ever since they have been without a peer with regard to student activities and organizations attangent to college life. We are well represented on athletic teams, literary societies, debating clubs, and musical organizations of various kinds. These facts we do not claim. We just admit them. It is a matter of historical pride that we have never been worsted in an inter- class rush. Our flag has yet to be lowered at the command of a superior foe. In our Freshman year we were held intact by a well-organized force of superior numbers. Last year by quick thinking and keen strategy we were able to retain our position, much to the discomfiture of the lower classmen. Jolly Juniors are we, for we are truly a happy bunch. Our parties and out- ings have been characterized by frolicking good times. Invariably they reoccur in the mind as incidents pleasant to think upon. Of the big social event of the year, the Junior and Senior banquet, may it be said that Solomon in all his court splendor did not have a feast like one of these. To attempt to prophesy the ultimate attainment of all the members of this class would be as impossible as to analyze another ' s day dreams. I should strive in vain. They shall follow where the bark of their fancy goes, from the land that no man seeth to the land that no man knows. Our stay in Wesleyan has been pleasant. May it bring pleasure to others as well. To us it has been beneficial. May it prove beneficial to humanity at large. We shall leave our Alma Mater with a feeling of sincere love and a realization of what is meant by the true Wesleyan spirit. Of the Class may this be said: That it has filled its niche and has accomplished its task by leaving the world better than it found it; that it has looked for the best in others and has given them the best it had; that its life was an inspiration, its memory a benediction.

Page 81 Sophomore Class Editorial When the Class of ' 23 entered Wesleyan in the fall of 1919 it was one of the largest ever enrolled and since then our achievements have been great. We came through our Freshman year with our brightness undulled and with very few blemishes. We have made a good record both in athletics and scholarship. This year seven men on the Varsity football squad and four on the first basket-ball team were Sophomores. We defeated the Freshmen in a tug-of-war, and since then have zealously guarded the front door of the College Hall and any Freshman who enters there leaves hope behind. ' Our officers for this year are : President, Dick Thompson ; Vice- President, Arthur Upton; Secretary, Florence Carroll, and Treasurer, Marion Fortney. No class in school takes a more active part in the roll of student activities than we. In the debating clubs, literary societies, Y. M. and Y. W. are members to be found in countless numbers perform- ing the duties of capable leaders and willing workers. May the Class of ' 23 continue its progress under such standards already performed and be a class among classes upon which Wesleyan can look with pride.

Page 9k Freshman Class Editorial Little did Wesleyan know what an illustrious and congenial group of young men and women she was to welcome on September 13, 1920, in the present Freshman Class — the Class of ' 24. We came from the several parts of the United States, bringing with us many talents. Our members are to be found in all the clubs and organizations of Wesleyan, efficiently filling their respective positions. We are proud of our athletes, who in the future will surely bring home glory to their Alma Mater. Especially are we proud of the Interclass basket-ball records, having won almost our entire schedule. Many and varied have been the schemes worked on us by the upper classmen. Extremely torturous and painful was the initiation of the new girls at the Agnes Howard Hall. A tug-of-war was decided upon between the Sophomore and Freshman classes, the Freshmen pulling for the privilege of entering the main door of the College build- ing the remainder of the school year. Sorry to relate, we received the worst end of the bargain. Yea, we were sorely tried, but our spirit is much alive and still undaunted. Beware! It shall yet show itself ! Late in September our Class organized, and our chosen officers have run well the race set before them. Under their leadership we have attained heights otherwise impossible. We have striven to be stanch and loyal sons and daughters of our Alma Mater. Whether or not we have succeeded is for others to decide. We have been here but a year. In the years before us our hope is to prove that Wesleyan ' s ideals are our ideals, and that her desires are ours. We hope that three years from now, as we look back over our College days, they shall have been days of ever-broaden- ing knowledge and lasting influence. So with patience, perseverance and grit may we steadily work forward for the success of Wesleyan and the Class of ' 24.

Page 99 Senior Class Editorial We, the Class of ' 21, feel ourselves congratula ted in the fact that we have as Class sponsor Prof. W. R. Grose, Superintendent of the Buckhannon city schools. Professor Grose is recognized as one of the foremost educators of the State. Owing to conditions which prevailed during the war, we did not organize until the fall of 1919. Of the nineteen members of last year only ten remain, but from the addition of new members we now number twenty-three. Four of our Class are veterans of the World War, three of whom followed the Stars and Stripes to Sedan. Some are devoted athletes and will in the near future have their names among those of the Varsity. Several are studying for the ministry, having made enviable records as student pastors. Our musical talent is of such variety that we are proud of the individual accomplishments. Both in piano and voice several have won their initial laurels. With their diversity of gifts, we believe that every member will gain pre-eminence of distinc- tion in due time. It is a pleasant reflection to know that we have added much to the spirit and life of Wesleyan Academy. We are looking to the future with optimism and hope, knowing that next year we will be sharing the vicissitudes of college life. Our little band of ' 21 will be the nucleus with a real Wesleyan spirit, around which the Freshmen college class will be formed. We have felt it no small privilege, having the association of college people, from whom we have received inspiration and help, and a love for Wesleyan has grown within us which will always be held dear.

OFFICERS President Cameron Casto Vice-President John Hanifan Secretary Alberta Dorsey Treasurer Dennis Forman Historian Russell Michaels MEMBERS Pauline Brooks Cameron Casto Anna Lee Riley Hugh Cunningham Dennis W. Forman Isabelle Underwood Nellie Young Russell Michaels Luella Hipkins John Hanifan Alberta Dorsey Cecil H. Sigafoose Class Editorial A number of our Class entered Wesleyan Academy in 1919. When we returned to school last fall we reorganized, and found that there were not a few new students who were eligible for membership in our ranks. We heartily welcomed these, and have since formed friend- ships with them which will remain unbroken through life. A lot of earnest workers constitute the membership of our Class. We believe the future holds a place of honor and trust for each of us, just as it awaits in confidence the coming of every Wesleyan student. We are very proud of one of our number who completes the prescribed course of study in the vocal department of the college with the Class of ' 21. Besides those among us who possess such rare talent for the musical, we can justly boast of many who have great ability in the field of oratory. As a Class, of which we feel every member is a very vital part, we look forward to much greater accomplishments, trying ever to keep our motto before us. Page 101 1— PAULINE BROOKS, French Creek, W.

The object of the former is to prepare college students to teach in high school. Completion of a degree course with twenty-four hours in Education, including three hours of observation and practice teaching, entitles the prospective teacher to a high school certificate good for ten years without examination. The Normal School offers a one-year course and the standard two-year course organized to train teachers for the elementary, grade and junior high schools. Admission to the former is possible with twelve units of preparatory work, and the course carries a certificate good for three years which can be renewed for three more without examination. Entrants to the standard course must present sixteen units. Upon completing the course they receive the standard Normal Certificate, which is good for ten years without examination. All certificates are issued by the State Board of Education upon recommendation of the Principal of the Normal School. The work in Education is solidly founded on the principle that teaching is the highest art in the world. A most careful and systematic course of training is planned to the end of equipping high-minded and competent men and women with a body of professional knowledge, a code of professional ethics, and skill in professional action. The prospective teacher must know what the child is like, what he ought to be like in the future, and how to make the application of ideal aims and methods to the actual conditions of the classroom as he finds them. In addition this is a calling which above all demands people of broad general culture, cultivated sympathies and a large measure of far-sighted altruism. In pursuance of the above-named requirements the college offers a well- rounded vocational course including — I. Technical or theoretic training in educational subjects in which the student masters the subject matter he will teach and studies the physical, mental and moral growth of children, the forms of educational organization, and methods of teaching the various subjects. II. Training for cultural insight through the study of the history of thought and educational institutions, lives of noted educators, and the part played by education in a synthetic theory of social control and social progress. III. Concrete, practical, manipulative work carried on under actual professional conditions in the public schools of Buckhannon. This phase of the training is regarded as possibly the most important of all, and is under the supervision of an experienced critic teacher who devotes her whole time to the work. Culture, sympathy and altruism are qualities which ought to thrive in a Christian college environment. Helpful friendships with fellow-students and with teachers, serious study, participation in the social and civic activities of the College and community, and the insistent urge toward self-forgetting service ought to prepare teachers for a useful and satisfying career. Page 10? Department of Public Speaking MILDRED L. LITTLE The Orator persuades and carries all with him, he knows not how; the Rhetorician can prove that he ought to have persuaded and carried all with him. — Carlyle. The course of expression offered by Wesleyan College is primarily a course for personal culture. It seeks to awaken in the student of expression, whether he aims to be a creative thinker or an interpreter, a realization of his own potentialities, and to give such direction to his training that he may attain them. The student is led to create ideals from a comprehensive study and keen appreciation of fine literature, and to form ideas from which he gains the ability to think for himself. To express knowledge is to understand it more thoroughly, and the greater one ' s understanding the greater will be his accuracy and power in delivery. It is important that those whose aim is the ministry, law or public speaking should give attention to the subject of oratory. It is a mistake to suppose that excellence in speaking is simply a gift of nature and not the result of patient and persistent labor and study. The course offered is of highest value, not only to those who have a pro- fessional end in view but to men and women who do not intend to make oratory a specialty. It is self-evident that a strong personality, a cultured and noble manhood, is infinitely superior to any tricks of voice or gesture. When a man loves the truth and lives it and can present it effectively to others he has received the best possible preparation for the work of life as well as for the work of oratory. The greatest thing in oratory is the orator. Page 108 Expression Recital for Graduation BY BERNICE LEONE WELLS College Auditorium May 27, 1921 Peg o ' My Heart J.

FRANKLIN EDWIN MUZZY Director of Vocal Department Page 116 The Music Department Although Wesleyan College is a school of Liberal Arts, it is doubt- ful if any college of Fine Arts offers a more intensive and compre- hensive course in music. Every phase of musical study is touched upon. The courses include piano-forte, pipe organ and voice, and the study of musical history, harmony, theory and counterpoint. The musical organizations of the school offer entertaining pro- grams of a high order and, under the auspices of the department of music, recitals are given from time to time. The most popular pro- grams are those given by the Glee Clubs, the College Orchestra and the Band. The Men ' s Glee Club toured the State during the past season and met with unqualified success. Variety is the spice of a program and the home concert was spicy. The songs were carefully selected and the program was of real worth. The Girls ' Glee Club also made a successful trip through the north- western part of the State, concluding with a brilliant home concert. The music faculty this season is composed of Prof. G. S. Bohanan, director of the department ; Prof. F. E. Muzzy, instructor in voice and director of the Glee Clubs ; Miss Irene Bohanan, assistant piano teacher, and Professor Miller, director of the orchestra and instructor in violin. These persons are all well qualified to carry on the responsible work in which they are engaged, and the musical future of Wesleyan College is bright. Page 117 Loreen Gaston---B.

It trains the mind through the eye and the eye through the mind. It was man ' s earliest means of conveying thoughts and messages to others. Browning has said: It is the glory of good art that remains the one way possible of speaking truth. Not until after the Revolution were Americans, in their new country, able to give much time to the study and development of art. First came portraiture and then landscape painting. From these the field of American art was broadened until at the present there is no thing complete without it. In all kinds of con- struction work we must think of form, balance, composition and perspective as well as color. The object of this department is to offer a course in fine and applied arts as a part of a liberal education; to develop the individual ' s creative ability, and to prepare students for life work either as teachers, artists or designers. The work is closely allied with science, literature and nature. As the sun colors the flowers, so art colors life.

SEEM Professor of Home Economics They talk about a woman ' s sphere as tho ' it had a limit; There ' s not a place in earth or heaven, There ' s not a task to mankind given. There ' s not a blessing or a woe, There ' s not a whispered ' yes ' or ' no t ' There ' s not a life, or death, or birth, That has a feather ' s weight of worth — Without a woman in it. The Department of Home Economics is functioning; more efficiently this year than ever before in the history of the school. A high quality of instruction is given in Cookery, Chemistry of Foods, Dietetics, Household Management, Dress- making, Millinery, and Textiles. A study of the important scientific principles and processes involved is made along with the practical work and the subject becomes a real pleasure rather than a necessary duty. Under the direction of Miss Seem, a graduate of Penn State, the girls are rapidly developing into well-informed and competent high school teachers, capable and constructive home makers, and loyal citizens of this great commonwealth of America.

It is pushing forward the work of developing the future leaders and statesmen of our great Commonwealth with its accustomed vigor and vivacity. There is no doubt that Excelsior has been of great value to the students of Wesleyan. Since we have no way of judging the future except by the past, we would be led to say that the training which all receive is very efficient, especially as regards to public speaking and leadership. The ease that the various members of Excelsior who have gone out from us have had in finding a place for themselves in the world speaks for itself, and it further proves that no one should go through college without connecting himself or herself in some way with society work. The progress of this year ' s work has been very satisfactory, and with the end of the year drawing near a new and marked zeal is showing itself in a manner which is indicative of the success of Excelsior in the years to come. Many new members have been added, and the Society is safely grounded in the way of finance. A more wholesome interest is gradually being instilled in the more routine matters that are necessary for the safe conduct o f the Society ' s business. With the advent of the new administration of the Second Semester a Program Committee was brought into existence, and much of the work that has hitherto been left to the President was shifted to its shoulders. Owing to the efficient work of this Committee the programs have been interesting and instructive. The beneficial influence that this Committee has had cannot be too highly praised. The present enthusiasm for society work is indeed good and the future for Excelsior is the very brightest. Let us hope that Excelsior continues to be all that it has been in the past, for with that assured no loyal member of Excelsior would need to worry.

We shall attempt no explanation of this pleasing fact; sufficient is it to say that the newcomers have become loyal and devoted followers of the glorious banner of Green and White. The aesthetic and cultural values which justify the existence of a college literary society have ever been before us. While our fun makers have not failed in restoring the vim and fire of youth to minds made weary by lectures and col- lateral reading, yet there has always been an El Dorado of music, art and litera- ture equal to the tastes of a classical connoisseur. The year 1920-1921 has not been devoid of mountain peak experiences. Our enviable position in the realm of theatricals was made more secure by two added triumphs. The success scored by the regular annual offering — The Fortune Hunter — has never been surpassed in the history of our College. Within the next few years Chresto ' s cast will be making an annual tour — a la glee club. The Faculty and the Board of Trustees have decided that the world can use a goodly number of Chresto ' s best sons and daughters. There go out from us this June some of the men and women who have added tomes to the annals of Chrestomatheanism. We knew that they were going, so we are prepared to take up the torch of literary enlightenment which must not languish in Wesleyan.

Harold Hufford Treasurer John Louden Marshal Dennis W. Tenney Reporter Sobisca Hall Membership Committee P. S. Harshbarger Joseph Hoffman Ross Bonar Long to be remembered and cherished dear in the hearts of the members of the Wesleyan Debating 1 Club is the school year of ' 20 and ' 21. Years hence, when the world is continuing in its progress of civilization, many a learned man will delve deep into the pleasant spots of memory and in his reminiscences be heartily glad that he was once a member of this Club. Following a successful year in ' 19 and ' 20 by the annexation of the Harding Cup from our worthy opponents the Websterians, it would seem that all the great tasks had been accomplished. This was not entirely true and the Club started activities at the close of the football season. A number of new members were added to the roll, the entire lot being of our own choosing. However, before their acceptance into full and active membership they were subjected to a mild form of initiation, a journey over a rough and difficult road, on all sides beset with dangers, to that undiscovered room from which only the brave return. Practically all were able to survive and became our most enthusiastic supporters. On the date of December 9, 1920, oratorical accomplishments flavored with mirth and good-fellowship reigned supreme at the second annual banquet of the Club. Each member added to the occasion by inviting that stimulus needed to make men eloquent in speech — namely, a lady friend whom we were pleased to entertain as our guest. The affair was declared a success and plans laid for a similar event next year. The purpose of the Club is not only to develop the desire but also to train the ability for effective self-expression ; to give schooling in the most towering height of forensic attainment possible; to produce that self-mastery in public speaking and private conversation that enables one to think quickly, clearly and efficiently. The realization of these aims is especially exemplified in the personnel of the Inter-Collegiate Team — Hoffman, Holloway, Bosley and Wolf — who in conjunction with the Webster Debating Club have represented themselves and their school with no little honor in a triangular debate with Bethany and Marietta Colleges. A number of our members are Seniors. Those who will not return are better for having been in our midst. We have benefited because of their associations and accomplishments. To them go out the wishes of sincere friends for a broad and efficient life.

Quarles The aim of the Webster Debating Club is to inculcate and develop in each of its members a love and desire for effective self-expression, both conversational and public. In order to attain high aims it is necessary to have exemplary models. The most eminent orators who have served as patterns in our Club have been the persevering Demosthenes, the classical Webster, and the democratic Lincoln. The Club meets in regular session on Tuesday evening of each week — meetings have been held regularly since the early part of the first semester. The increase of membership for the year has been phenomenal, the total increase being about (iOO per cent, for the year. Each member of the Club is characterized by high scholastic attainments. The debates have been well attended by a majority of all the members. As a whole, the debates have been above the average in thought, preparation and delivery. Every member of the Club has appeared in debate one or more times during the year, thus showing the interest of the Club in the development of each individual member. The Webster Debating Club, in co-operation with the Wesleyan Debating Club, has arranged for a triangular meet: Marietta, Bethany, and Wesleyan. The Webster Debating Club is proud to have four strong debaters represent it in this triangular meet. To our departing seniors we extend cur sincere wishes for a truly successful life.

Two months later the Wesleyan Masonic Club was officially organized and a constitution and by-laws adopted, and officers were elected for the ensuing year. Any Master Mason who is a member of a regular Masonic body and is a student, graduate, instructor, or otherwise connected with the college is eligible for membership. The object of the Club is to promote Masonic fellow- ship among the Masons of West Virginia Wesleyan College and with the craft at large. OFFICERS, 1920-1921 Emery D. Wise President W.

But when I ivant some reudin ' That ' ll brush away a frown I want that little paper From my dear ole college town. These are the sentiments of our alumni and fellow-students everywhere. Everyone who has had any association with Wesleyan enjoys reading The Pharos. It is a friend in a far country. Wesleyan students crowd the library on the day that The Pharos is out pushing, crowding, making a tremendous tug to get their copies of the spice of life. The front page is interesting because no one actually knows what has happened on the campus until he has read those glaring columns. Page two is interesting because it is filled with the peppiest, liveliest editorials ever penned by college students; page three is interesting for the same reason that page two is interesting. The organizations are full of society gossip with varying degrees of veracity. The alumni page eulogizes upon some noted alumnus each issue. The Bolsheviki Column produces some of the best, funniest, rarest jokes ever printed on black and white. On this page are delineated the most popular students; it is the who ' s who column of Wes- leyan College. All athletic news is published in The Pharos, and in fact all news of any kind that is worthy of publication appears therein. The Pharos has vastly improved its past record. One alumnus has said: ' Your paper is far better than I have ever known it before; keep up the good work.

It is also with a feeling of pleasure that we submit a record of the college life at Wesleyan for the present school year. Our work has been a pleasant experience. As you read these pages may you be able to stand upon the vantage ground of truth and judge that we have not discredited the task assigned us. If there are mistakes and omissions, tell us about it in a nice way. If there are features that deserve commendation, tell us in a like manner. Years hence when our college life has waned into history, and in the evening when the twilight fades and you gather quietly in the pleasant firelight glow, you will reach to the bookshelf, take down an old copy of the Murmurmontis and read once again those musty pages published by t he Class of ' 22. When you read once again those interesting and delightful days of campus memories forever fixed by their pleasantries, as you gaze into the fire and in your reminiscences say This was a happy life, feel that we are glad. Sincerely yours, Murmurmontis ' 22. THE STAFF Editor-in-Chief Maurice Brooks Business Manager Cleo D.

Food for the mind and soul is necessary in all walks of life; to supply this is one of the objects of our Christian organizations. It is true that we cannot live a life apart from others if we are to attain the highest state of usefulness to society. The Y. M. is one of the many organizations that help to bring one into this closer and better relationship to his fellow-men. Under the capable leadership of our President, Joseph C. Hoffman, the Asso- ciation has had the most successful year within the memories of any of the present members. Starting in September with the old membership and a good attendance, both have steadily increased to very gratifying proportions and have maintained this standard until the present. This is due no doubt to the unusual interest and character of the meetings. Never has there been a more capable group of leaders for the year. The subjects were all live ones and the discussions full of interest. At no time has self-satisfaction prevailed, nor has there been any hesitancy in bringing pressure to bear upon anything within the Ass ociation that is not for its best interests. Thus a wiser and a more constructive policy for the conduct of the Y. M. has been developed. An acme of interest was reached in the week of special meetings early in February under the leadership of Dr. F. W. Hannon of Drew Theological Seminary. This is the second year Dr. Hannon has been with us, and it is hoped by all that he can be secured for next year. The Y. M. C. A. lecture course, under the efficient management of W. S. Boyd, was a complete success. The course consisted of seven of the best attractions with the Coit Lyceum Bureau. The financial success of the course for the past two years has warranted the committee in securing eight numbers for next year. A highly artistic and educational course — in quantity — is assured. Page U9 Y. W. C. A. Page 150 Young Women ' s Christian Association An organization is not justified in its existence unless it is a vital, living and accomplishing force. The Y. W. C. A. has been all of this during the past year. As a whole the Association has co-operated suc- cessfully with one of the most efficient presidents it has had in years, and, too, the cabinet has had an able ally and booster, The Advisory Board. Both The Advisory Board and the cabinet have had the same goal and have worked toward it constantly. The calibre of the newly elected cabinet predicts great accomplishments for the coming year.

This organization is composed of all ministerial students of the college. Meetings are held once each month, at which time papers are read and helpful talks are given by prominent preachers. On the first Sunday evening of each month the services at the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Buckhannon are under the direction of the Club and one of the members delivers the sermon. Upon no group of students are there heavier responsibilities rest- ing, and the zeal with which the affairs of this organization are con- ducted reveals the fact that the members realize their responsibilities. They are striving earnestly to prepare themselves to become laborers in a field that is white with harvest. OFFICERS President Prof. Aaron H. Rapking Vice-President Prof. M. C. Miles Secretary W. S.

M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. but rather to co-operate with them in their various undertakings. At the opening of school the organization met and reorganized with six regular members and two associate members. Marion Fort- ney was chosen president, with Genevieve Forsythe vice-president and Cameron Casto secretary. Four of our members and two other Wesleyan students attended the Student Volunteer Conference, held at Salem College, Salem, W. Va., April 1, 2 and 3, 1921. This conference was attended by rep- resentatives from the different colleges throughout the State and will convene at Wesleyan next year. The inspiration gained from the association with these representative students and the messages brought to us of the world ' s startling needs by speakers who them- selves had been in service on the foreign fields were very inspirational. The interest and enthusiasm manifested in this gathering made our motto, The Evangelization of the World in This Generation, seem really possible. The members of this year ' s band are Cameron B. Gasto, Genevieve Forsythe, Ruth Forsythe, Marion Fortney, Edwin P. Haught and Luella Hipkins, with the following as associate members : Miss Grace Seem, who is at the head of the Home Economicc Department, and Yee Wing Hook, a Chinese student, who expects to return as a mis- sionary to his own people upon the completion of his education. Pafie 155 IN MEMORIAM Sadie Margaret Rexrode Sadie M. Rexrode was born in Monterey, Va., in 1882. She was a student in the Bible School of the University of Cincinnati and went to the Mission Field of Africa in 1907, where she worked faith- fully and successfully for five years. She was granted a furlough and came to Wesleyan, graduating with the Normal Class of ' 17. She was a brilliant scholar and her wealth of experience made her presence an inspiration to all who knew her. She returned to Africa in the spring of 1918, expecting to come home in 1923 on another furlough. Her first missionary work was in Old Umtali in the province of Rhodesia. Later she started the work at Mutambara and then returned to Old Umtali. She also helped to start the work at Mrews and was there at the time of her death. Miss Rexrode died January 22, 1921, and was buried at Old Umtali near the church in which she worked. Hers was the first death of a missionary in that field in all the twenty-two years that they had been there. She was an expert in African affairs. So far as we know she was our only student on the dark continent, but Wesleyan ideals have doubtless been well preached and practiced in Rhodesia, where she labored for practically a dozen years. Her letters home were full of optimism and her source of strength in that apparently lonesome field were her alma mater and all she stands for, and the ever-present consciousness which abides with those who give up much that the pagan may be civilized and the Gospel of Christ be carried unto the ends of the earth. The Methodist Episcopal Church has lost a great missionary, and thousands of Rhodesians in darker Africa have lost a wise counselor and constant friend. Pcuje 156 Y. M. C. A. Lecture Course —1 920-1 921 The Lecture Course conducted by the Y. M. C. A. of Wesleyan College is one of the most valuable activities of the student life of the entire College. Due to its existence, the people of the town of Buckhannon, as well as the students, are afforded the very best talent that can be attained. We believe that our course is second to none in the State. This year it was made possible for every single student in the College to obtain a ticket for the course, the expense of which was met by the incidental fee which the students pay in connection with their tuition. This plan met with approval on all sides and will doubtless be continued in the future. During the past year the Lecture Course has received splendid support. It has been a pleasure to the committee to engage in this work. Mindful of the fact that Wesleyan wants the best that can be obtained, we present the course below which has been engaged for the season of 1921-1922: 1920-1921 TALENT Vilhjamar Stefansson Herbert Leon Cope The Orpheus Four Samuel W.

Soon after the Christmas recess in 1920 President VV. B. Fleming and Athletic Director R. W. Shumaker started a movement to inaugurate an Athletic Council. A new consti- tution was drafted and approved by the student body and the College faculty. An organization was effected for a Council, which at present consists of six active members and a chairman. The power of the Council extends over all financial matters of the Athletic Association and regulates the coaching systems, sched- ules, etc. Only matters pertaining to coaches go before the Board of Trustees, and then only as a process of ratification. The Athletic Council for the present year contains the following personnel : Senator G. C. Arnold Alumni Member Horace H. Withers Alumni Member Richard Aspinall Faculty Member O. Earle Karickoff Faculty Member Bruce McWhorter Student Member Joseph Hoffman Student Member R. W. Shumaker, Athletic Director Chairman Page 161 J o CO Poffe i62 Varsity Club At the close of the football season of 1920 the necessity of having a club organized among the athletic circles to maintain harmony and good fellowship among the athletes as well as a clubroom where ex-Wesleyan athletes could be entertained, was seen. A meeting was held and the constitution of the Wesleyan Varsity Club was adopted. In view of the fact that Wesleyan is rapidly growing it is of the utmost importance that we should have the co-operation of all wearers of the W to make this organization a success. It is our aim to obtain a club house where the athletes can associate and mingle together. This will promote good fellowship among the men and indirectly better our athletics. We will then be able to entertain all former athletes when they return to visit their Alma Mater. The members of the Club are as follows: Chalmers Ault, James Carskadon, Beecher Dunn, M. T. Hamrick, Albert Krushank, Ralph Martz. William McCusky, Earl Neel, Hale Pauley, Don B. Potter (president), Harold 0. Potter, John Post. Lester W. Radmon, Mahre Stark and Harry Stansbury.

Page 164 DAVID D. HILL, End After the first game on September 25 Hill held the left terminal position with great credit. He was always down quick under punts and featured in defensive play. HAROLD POTTER, Fullback Harold started the season at left end, but was soon shifted to the back- field to fill the position of a big full- back. He is an aggressive player and particularly fond of making touch- downs. Page 165 CECIL ROSS, Halfback and Quarter Cebe played more or less in all the backfield positions this year. He was in practically every game, show- ing to especial advantage on the de- fensive against the University. HENRY ROHRBAUGH, Center Hen was the center of the whole team. If the other team tried to cen- ter anything, they usually didn ' t. His passes were quick, snappy and hit the spot. Paye 166 JAMES CARSKADON, End Jimmie has more nerve to the square inch than any man on the team. His fighting qualities are of such a kind that won ' t stay licked. We ' ve only one regret: that he isn ' t a little bigger. JOHN PITT ROHRBAUGH John was a utility wing man who made all Varsity trips, receiving his letter for taking part in practically all the games of the season. Not half bad for a 145-pounder, is it?

His defense was a bulwark of power; his offense an irre- sistible force. His example of training and clean sportmanship was one to he commended. DON B. POTTER, End Don is a great favorite of the fans. If some one made a yard on him, he usually dared him to do it again. He constituted the receiving end of the aerial game so bewildering to many of our opponents. Page 168 MAHRE STARK, Halfback Stark is a line plunger of high caliber. His ability in advancing the ball far excels that in the art of long division. He has played his last col- lege game and we wish him success in his new undertaking, namely, the gre.it American game — baseball. CHARLES W. QUARLES, Guard Pat ' s ability to plug up the line was an advantageous feature on the defense. His Come on, boys! was a big incentive for offensive work. He is rated high among the cake eaters. Page, 169 JOHN MONAHAN, Halfback Monohan was a good backfield man and a competent judge of offensive play. His ability came out in the con- test with W. and J. when he was act- ing at quarter. RALPH MARTZ, Tackle Emmie was a veteran line man of ' 17 and a good judge of line plays. Have you anything you want to send in, Coach? Page 170 GEORGE D. BOYD, Guard Dolliver is a big husky line man, officiating: at guard or tackle. He is a bear cat on the defense and equally good on the offense. He showed to good advantage against Grove City. WILLIAM SCHNOOBERGER, Guard Early in the season Schnoo was eliminated by sickness and prevented from demonstrating the power con- cealed within his massive frame. He is a good rover and will no doubt be a good husband. Page 171 Page 172 Football, 1920 Following an uneventful year in 1919, the 1920 football eleven of West Virginia Wesleyan marched through a season of success and satisfaction. Not all of the games were won, but probably there has never been a Wesleyan eleven which entertained such a fine spirit and such fighting qualities as the eleven of 1920. Above all, the brand of football played by Wesleyan during the season just passed was the best that an Orange and Black eleven has ever produced. Starting back in the winter of 1919-1920, the Athletic Council of Wesleyan sought the services of some modern football player who had the qualifications of rejuvenating the hopes of the Methodists. This man was found in the person of Robert A. Higgins, All-American end, Penn State, 1919. Higgins gave Wesleyan the best coaching the team has ever had. He developed a fine spirit among his men, taught them the high qualities of perseverance, and undoubtedly upheld the highest morals of any Wesleyan team in football history here. He was ably assisted by John L. Felton, former Dickinson star, whose motto has been and is today Merit cannot lose. Wesleyan ' s 7-7 tie with W. and J., the fast games with Marietta and victories over all colleges considered as in the same class were the outstanding features of what may be termed the best all-round season the Methodists have ever enjoyed.

Coached by C. C. Reeder, popular baseball mentor, and made up of flashy individuals who sacrificed their individual glory for the success of the team, the five drove through a season of dazzling success. The handicap of having no gymnasium in which to practice until ten days before the most important trip of the year was solely respon- sible for the defeat handed to Wesleyan by Pitt, W. and J. and Carnegie Tech. Had any of these fives been played after the team got into condition, there is no doubt but that Wesleyan would have gone througli the season without tasting defeat at home or abroad from the tossers of a collegiate set. The twin backset handed Marietta College by Wesleyan carries with it ample prestige to make the season outstanding for years to come. The individuals whose names should be carved into the recesses of the Hall of Fame for the year now waned into history are: Capt. Jimmie Johnson and Cecil Ross, forwards ; Don Potter, center, and Mahre Stark and John Rohrbaugh, guards. SCHEDULE Date Opponent Wesleyan 1 7 21 Fairmont Y. M. C.

But one collegiate game was dropped during the year, and to Bethany goes the honor of making the lone dent in the Wesleyan record. A twin bill with W. and J., ancient diamond rivals, was also annexed by the Buckhannon collegians. The schedule was not an extensive one, inasmuch as the schedule was arranged at a late date. C. C. Reeder, who coached the nine, handled the situation with great success, taking a new combination and rounding it into a neat machine. Captain Dunn at third and Beck in the outfield were the only real veterans on the squad. The nine developed into a hard-slugging diamond aggregation, but always play- ing fast inside baseball. The team had a high fielding average and was not scored on heavily. The line-up was as follows: Johnson, ss. ; Dunn (captain), 3b.; Stark, c. ; Beck, If. ; Ross, lb. ; Fisher, 2b. ; Roberts, rf . ; Milliron, cf . ; Burns and McKinstry, pitchers.

The magnitude of the whole occasion far excelled that of last year. Fifty-seven teams en tered the contest with fifty-seven different styles of play. This number far exceeded the entries for any previous tournament, being nine more than in 1920. For the accommodation of the teams and visitors, special trains ran to Elkins, Weston, Fairmont, and Clarksburg during the playing sessions and after the contest was over. Even from the most remote parts of the State teams backed by enthusiastic supporters of the floor game came in countless numbers. Visitors poured in by the wholesale and the quiet little college town of Buckhannon was transformed into a gay and busy metropolis. The citizens of Buckhannon threw open wide their doors and extended to all a hospitable welcome. We wish to express our heartfelt thankfulness and appreciation for their service in this manner. Cheering delegations from Fairmont, Clarksburg, Weston, Charleston, Elkins, Grafton, Buckhannon, and Bluefield were present with all their varieties of organized chaos. Excite- ment was intense. Reason ran wild, and again and again shouts of encouragement were accorded to the victors, while cheers of approval and sympathy rang out for those who had lost, who had played a clean hard game and lost like men. The organized cheering was better this year than ever. Spirited rivalry was maintained until the end and it was a diffi- cult matter for the judges to decide upon the winners of the Fleming Loving Cup. Finally it was awarded to Buckhannon Hi. The Wesleyan Gym is now the largest in the State, the playing floor measuring 170x70 feet. Two courts were used for the preliminaries, but the finals were played on the larger central court. Davis of Carnegie and Watkins of East Liverpool, Ohio, acted the important role of official referees. Both are past masters at this task and their decisions accepted without comment. The Tournament was planned and directed by R. W. Shumaker, Director of Athletics of Wesleyan College, whose ability as an executive cannot be questioned. He was assisted by a large percentage of the student body whose organized efforts made the workings of the event to read like a story book. The brand of basket-ball produced was superior to that of former years. Several players of college calibre were seen in action. Dark horses failed to appear this year and the results show a comparatively accurate comparison of the abilities of the teams engaged. The winner of the tournament, Buckhannon Hi, was presented with a large silver basket-ball, regulation size, and solid gold basket-balls to each member of.the team. The runners up, Charleston, received a handsome loving cup, and solid gold basket-balls for each man on the team. The Tournament ended a magnificent success. There is no cloud on the horizon to darken the future of the Tournament of ' 22. May we all work together to that aim to develop throughout the State a true Wesleyan spirit and an added interest in the field of high school and collegiate athletics.

Page 185 The Joy of Living Very often we are inclined to believe that life is simply a monotonous round of care. Every day we see the same faces and the same old familiar sights. The same common- place, uninspiring tasks arc always waiting to be performed. The great things which we would like to do must ever be left undone. It seems that while it is given to others to scale the sunlit heights of achievement, we must forever spend our years in the solitary desert of waiting. To us there is, indeed, nothing new under the sun. Yet we forget that, in the main, what we get out of life depends upon our attitude toward it. Happiness depends not upon position but upon disposition. One man may be rich in blessings and still fed thai life is vanity and vexation of spirit; another may go through the world with empty hands and a lonely heart and yet be able to say with Browning, How good is man ' s life, the mere living! How fit to employ All the heart and the soul and the senses forever in joy. For the joy of life we are not altogether dependent upon the world without. Experience has two sides: The objective and the subjective — the life without and the life within. If we cannot make our external world what we would like to have it, we are supreme lords and absolute masters over the one that is within. We are so well satisfied with life upon the surface that we fail to explore the hidden depths of our own souls. Whether the world around us shall bring us joy or misery is determined by the thoughts of the heart, for out of it are the issues of life. In reference to happiness, we mostly find what we are looking for. Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be! If we believe that life ' s golden days are somewhat hidden in the misty backgrounds of the past, very likely such is the case; but if we keep our faces to the front, we shall find our best years looming before us, resplendent against the eastern horizon. It is not easy for us to understand the truth uttered by the old Greek philospher when he said, Nothing evil can happen to a good man. Yet he was merely asserting the supremacy of the inner life. The same external conditions influence different individuals in different ways. One character is ruined by prosperity; another is beautified by adversity. This man travels over land and sea yet finds nothing but emptiness; that one spends his days at a country cross-road but sees in every day a bringer of new things. There are those who do not see because there is no vision. To them the blooming, heaven-encompassed world is a wasteful chaos. But when the eye hath vision This world ' s no blot for us, Nor blank; it means intensely and it means good. Then every experience is a stepping-stone to victory; from all with whom we come into contact we learn lessons long ana deep; the rough old earth with her mountains and valleys is the living garment of God ; grandeur is nigh unto our dust and the infinite is near to man; life, death and the vast forever gleam before us as a grand sweet song.

And the lovers standing beneath the stars in the shadow of the trees did happily wish that such a night would never end. ' Twas a night of love. The breezes did cause the leaves to flutter in a kind of active restlessness, and then to die in a seemingly endless silence. There was a freshness in the very atmosphere, The fragrance of roses rilled the air, wafted to ami fro by the breezes returning to active life. The youthful grass did run and skip in its blitheful happiness. ' Twas a night of love. A nighl for fairest women and the hearts of bravest men. Soft eyes Looked hive to eyes that spake again. The time passed all too soon and the night faded into the early hours of morning. In the heavens above the stars closed their ryes as the lovers parted and bade their fond good-nights. The wise old Man in the Moon smiled a big broad smile anil turned to the Lady in the Moon, taking both her hands in his own, while she contentedly laid her head on his shoulder, a true woman, knowing that she too could keep a secret: And from the heavens above the ( ' real or looked down and saw an atmosphere of love; and He was content for lie knew that it was good. — A Bachelor, OH, THOSE COLLEGE DAYS You may travel this wide world over From London to New York town; As you travel around and go up and down, Y ' ou think of the girls who have won renown; How suffrage! leaders with hatpin and mace Have all worked together to win them a place.

At the Insiiiutc-tituic-titute-tituie. {Chorus composed by President Fleming at the first Institute. Tune, ■■Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, th Boys are Marching. ) For two or three years the Institute was but a dream in tin ' heart of the Conference President and a few others. Even Dr. Sheridan, then General Secretary, feared (he W. Va. Conference could not main I am an Institute. But the optimists insisted that it could be done. The wav was paved by introducing some Institute features into the Convention held at Clarksburg, .June, 1914. Dr. Sheridan was invited to the Convention at Morgantown, November 1-3, mill, to give inspiration and instructions. He defined the Institute as A College, a Circus, and a Camp Meeting all in one. The dream came true. The Epworth League Institute was horn. An organization was formed and Rev. ,1. E. Wells, Rev. .1. B. Workman, Rev. Roy McCuskv, President W. B. Fleming, Arthur II. Stricklin, and Rev. Claude E. Goodwin were appointed as an Executive Committee to arrange for an Institute to be held during the summer of 1917. The Institute is now a pari of tin- annual calendar of Wesleyan College. The attendance has increased yearly: August 4-12, 1917—90; August 10-18, 1918—180; August (1-17, 1919—240; August 9-15, 1920—300. The following is a record of service rendered in making I lie Institute a success: Faculty: Rev. J. Elbert Wells (Dean, Stewardship) 4 years; .Mrs. J. Elberl Wells (Dean of Women) 4 years; Rev. Roy McCuskv (Sr. Method ' s, Chairman Program Committed 4 years: President Wallace! ' , Fleming (Life Work) 4 years; Rev. E. A. Lowther (Old Testament) ' ■i years; Prof. Richard Aspinall (New Testament) 4 years; Rev. C. H. Beall (Missions) 4 years; Rev. L. B. Bowers (Social Service) 8 years; Rev. C. E.

Meredith (Registrar) 1 year; Rev. Denver C. Pickens (Recreational Di reel or) 2 years; Rev. B. T. Trevy (Home Missions) 2 years. Many others have rendered loyal service. The work of the Buekhannon Chapter has been invaluable. It is only just that we give due credit for (he success of the Institute to whom il really belongs. To the Dean of the Institute, Rev. J. Elberl Wells, and his energetic little wife is accorded this honor. Their pleasing personality has made them general favorites among tlic young people with an influence elevating the ideals and aspirations of the Leaguers throughout the Stale. The Institute week is packed with religion, learning, and fun — the early morning for devotion, the forenoon for class wink, the afternoon for recreations, the evenings for a varied program. The motto is A Vacation with a Purpose. The atmosphere is Christian. The spirit of service and consecration is everywhere manifest. The highest ideals and loftiest aspirations are dominating the hearts of the young people. All is mingled with unadulter- ated joy bubbling from the crystal fountain of life at high levels. The climax of the week is reached in (he never-to-be-forgotten Life Work Service on Sunday afternoon. Nearly two hundred and fifty life work decisions have been made in the four years. Tlic Institute committee is planning for a larger attendance and a still greater Institute the coming August.
