We cannot stand forever upon the thresh- old of life and look forward to a glorious future, for the time must come when we shall be called into the great arena upon which we are now gazing. When we sha have been encompassed by the smoke and the din of the strife, when days of sore temptation and difficulty meet us face to face, then, indeed, will it be as a ray of Orion piercing the darkness of night to turn to those familiar faces upon which we once looked with pleasure, and live over again the days which Time has decreed we shall see no more. For no other purpose have we made this book. — Editor. I Dedication AS AN EXPRESSION OF OUR ADMI- RATION OF HIS HIGH CHARACTER, PATRIOTIC CITIZENSHIP, AND SUC- CESSFUL ATTAINMENTS; and BE- CAUSE OF HIS ARDENT DEVOTION TO THE COLLEGE, AS A LOYAL SON OF WESLEYAN, AND HIS UNTIRING EFFORTS IN BEHALF OF HER ADVANCEMENT. WE DEDI- CATE THIS VOLUME OF TH rmurmontis, 1924 Olandus West SJLANDUS West is one of the prominent business men of Clarksburg. He was born on a farm near McWhorter, Harrison County, West Virginia, No- vember 28, 1871. He is the son of William Marshall West and Hannah A. (Davis) West, natives of the same community, both of whom are now deceased. The father was a farmer and carpenter, and a soldier from 1863-65. Mr. West was a student at Wesleyan, but not continually, from 1893-96, having spent a part of this time as a teacher. He was a member of the Class of 1897, but left at the winter term to become the principal of a school, intending to enter the university the following year for special work. However, an attack of typhoid at the beginning of the school year, and later a business opening changed his plans. He entered the insurance business in 1898, locating in Clarksburg in 1902 and adding real estate to his office. Soon after locating in Clarksburg, Mr. West became interested in the develop- ment of oil and gas, and from 1905 devoted most of his attention to that industry. He soon was considered one of the successful operators of the state. In 1909 he formed the Vesper Oil Gas Co. of which he became president and general manager until 1920, when he and his associates sold the corporation. He is also head of several other oil and gas corporations besides being an operator on his own account. Mr. West is also interested in the coal business and other active enterprises. He is president of the Peacock Coal Company, and vice-president of the Fairmont Big Vein Coal Company, the Clarksburg Trust Company, the Clarksburg Wholesale Company, the Lc-Flore Glass Company, the Eagle Convex Glass Specialty Company, and a di- rector in several other corporations. Mr. West has always taken an active interest in public affairs. He has served as president of the Board of Education of his district, and is now one of the trustees of Wesleyan College, and also chairman of the Alumni Athletic Board. He has served as chairman of the Harrison County Chapter of the American Red Cross; is a member of the Knights of Pythias, the Kiwanis Club, and the First Methodist Episco- pal Church of Clarksburg. He is affiliated with the Democratic party and has served as County and City Chairman. In 1906 Mr. West was united in marriage to Miss Alma McWhorter, daughter of John M. McWhorter, of McWhorter. Mrs. West was also a student at Wesleyan. Mr. and Mrs. West have no children. ■ rmurmontis, Board of Trustees Hon. Charles W. Lynch President Hon. J. S. Withers Vice-President Hon. U. G.

Pauley Advertising Before you hurl those terrible anathemas that are always hurled at editors will you kindlv learn the facts, and be sure that you are well informed in your subject. The editor invites and accepts all just criticism. It is hoped that the owner of this book will find joy and pleasure in looking at the likenesses which appear on its pages. It is hoped, too, that in future years the turning of these pages may prove an exquisite source of pleasure to those who have known and associated with the ones whose pictures appear herein. It has not been the purpose of the editor to make an extended literary account of every indi- vidual and organization appearing in this book. Every college annual is primarily a picture book. If any other characteristic prevails the fundamental purpose of the book has been defeated. The sight of one familiar face carries more information than a whole printed page. For this reason an annual filled with writing would be uninteresting. An effort was made to get the picture of every student and teacher in college, but failure was the result. The editor has bequeathed to his successors, as their personal property, the things that he has learned about making a yearbook, so that a more successful book is assured for next year. The present policy of giving a book to every student is an excellent one, and the student who goes through a school year without getting a yearbook will have a regret later in life. 8 foVrSSC Ibltgljtful task! ®o pour tljf frest} tttstntrttmt o ' er ttir mini, B BB B!

Of no class could this more truly be said. In our first year in college we fought the good fight, then for two years we kept the faith, and now we are finishing the course. We entered college in the fall of nineteen hundred nineteen, one hundred sixty- eight bold, bad freshmen. Our first official act was to send a declaratio n of indepen- dence to the upperclassmen, who were trying to subjugate us. This precipitated one of the most whole-hearted battles even seen on the Wesleyan campus. However, time brings great changes, and now we are ardent supporters of freshmen rules. Under the leadership of such presidents as Kirchner, Thompson, Ross, and O ' Brien, we have accomplished much. Among our number we have developed leaders, not only in social, dramatic, literary and religious lines, but we have people with executive ability, and some of the best students in school. We are noted tor having given some of the most unique social affairs ever seen in Wesleyan College. Beginning in our freshman year we had a party at which peanut throwing was the main diversion of the evening. Then later came a party on a sand barge. This excursion was so capably managed that we got home at two in the morn- ing, due to the fact that for several hours the barge was stranded a few miles up the river. We were hosts to the seniors of last year at one of the most elaborate banquets of the year, the only one in fact which was formal. Much more could be said of the achievements of this illustrious class, but space and time are lacking. We have gone through many vicissitudes and trials together, such as mathematics, chemistry, examinations, chapel, to say nothing of freshman Eng- lish, a la Neptune. Now, as we are leaving, we hope we will be missed here on the old campus which we have learned to love so well. Our own feelings are a mixture of regret and ex- pectations, regret for the past and hopes for the future. We have yet to prove our real worth to our Alma Mater and we sincerely hope that in the years to come we will each become a real asset to our school.

This versatile young man stops at nothing! He is a painless extractor of money, so he is invaluable as treasurer of Chr esto and Wes- leyan Players. He has battled his way to glory on the football field and shines brilliant- ly behind the footlights of Wesleyan ' s stage.

Dana is a quiet sort of a person until you hear him in class. There he shines like an undimmed star and we can only listen in awe. And still tv t azed and still the wonder grew That one small head could carry all he knew. Mildred Harne buckhannov, w. va. Chrestomathean ; Weslevan Players; Mir- murmontis Staff; Secretary of Junior Class; Smithsburg High School, Maryland. This spirituelle maiden is not quite so spiritual as she looks. A lively sense of humor lurks in the blue of her seraphic eyes, and her numerous campus activities keep her busy. Nevertheless she has time enough to be stu- dious and well read ( Red ). 55 rmurmontis, 1924 ' 1V 7 0—r, - ■ .

This clear-eyed young lady with the Titian locks carries youth in her hands like a gift. With these hands she also manages to do plenty of active work in Y.

There is such a surprising amount of energy and dignity wrapt in one small girl, she was born to lead — and she has not failed in her mission. Dennis W. Tenney TEN MILE, W. VA. Y. M. C. A.; Chrestomathean ; Wesleyan De- bating Club; Intercollegiate Debating Club; Ministerial Association; Winner Aspinall Cup for Oratory; Football, ' 21. Here verily is a man whom the world shall bow before, and bow again. Always he has taken the hardest courses he could find, while at the same time he worked long, tedious hours ithout the class room. We have actually heard his professors pause in their busy lives to praise him, with tributes for his brain and never tiring energy, his sterling worth and true-blueness. His fellow students will always remember him as an inspiration. 57 1 r vJ i i uJL alt r A-t w w L . ux. — - i jx - ; 5 w - ■._ A n S , , -. w vfl{L U a W OcLl, CU.UAW 0 le oU - Gavzelle Rusk P. E.

To look at this winsome young lass you would never think that she is a school marm, yet she guides the footsteps of nineteen of our coming citizens. She is endowed with a never- failing sense of good humor and is chief mis- chief maker of the Flighty Four. Gayzelle is gifted dramatically and will probably spend her future telling stories to impatient patients P. E. Chamberlain MOUNDSVILLE, W. VA. Y. M. C.

She doesn ' t look green, this busy student of Dramatics, but one invariably associates the drama of her future life in terms of Green. Esther has distinguished herself in historic circles and is a pillar of the Chresto Society and member of the Flighty Four. She is one of those girls who does everything and does everything well. Ri ' hl Custer grafton, w. va. Y. M. C.

Have you ever heard the tales he tells about the time when he was a Mounted Policeman ?

He is a good mixer, and when he starts some- thing he sticks to it till the end, and that is truly a mark of genius. Virginia Williamson wilkiksburc, pa. V. V. C. A.; Excelsior; Girls ' Athletic Association. Out of Pittsburgh came this maiden, she who is so sweet and radiant. She is unusually magnetic, calling hearts like the Loreili, never to leave her once they have seen her.

Verna not only absorbs knowledge in Wes- leyan, but dispenses it to young America from a position as teacher of fifth grade. In ad- dition to her many duties she is superinten- dent of a Ward, and active member of the Flight Four, and holds down a corner of the Glee Club. John E. Hanifan BUCKHANNON, W. VA. Y. M. C. A.; Ministerial Association ; Ma- sonic Club; Webster Debating Club. This gentleman is subject to the dictation of a wife and the professors. We often won- der how he manages it so well, for we have heard that no man can serve two masters. 61 Murmur mo nt? s , 1924 ■, r Jr; OliOHOItOIIOilOliOilOllOltOllOiiQil Junior Class Marie Elliott grafton, w. va.

Varsity Club; Football, ' 20, ' 21, ' 22; Basket- ball, ' 21, ' 22, ' 23; Baseball, ' zr, ' 22; Chresto- mathean. Forsooth, a marvel! Football, basketball, baseball, shining in all three, and yet one of the most tireless and conscientious students in college. The professors respect him, all of us admire him, he ' s got the spirit and the pep. His genius Burns though his inspi- ration is away. More power to John — and yet more. 62 M ur murm o nti s , 1924 Ju nior Ch AlLEEN HEXSELL TURTLE CREEK, PA. V. W. C. A.; Chrestomathean; North Brail- dock High School, ' 20. Music has a sweet language of Its own, it is said, but Aileer. speaks in more tongues than one. This young lady converses with equal ease in French, Latin, or music and these are not all her accomplishments. George B. Pruxty FOLSOM, W. VA. Y. M. C. A.; Chrestomathean. George is one of those quiet persons who you never know is around until an emergency arises, and then he is there, helpful and steady, but with a modest quietness. An earnest and conscientious fellow. He will make his mark in the world, we predict. 3 rmurmontis, 1924 Junior Ch Hklex Howard cowek, w. va. V. W. C. A.; Excelsior. There is something dynamic about this girl. You have only to hear her laugh or to watch her tackle an argument with a professor to gauge her pep. Good humor and pep are her most outstanding characteristics, and to those of us who know her best, nobility of soul stands out as well. Bvrxe Ml rphy CLAY, V. VA. Y. M. C.

A man of learning and of books. Pat ' is a tireless worker in Y. M. C. A. and a burner of the midnight oil. The day, as yet, has never dawned that found Pat unprepared for his classes. He has worked valiantly in all student activities, and in addition, has managed the Meade Street Beanery. rmurmontis, 1924 Junior Class ' -Margaret Virginia Martix buckhannon, w. va. You like her — everyone does. Have you seen her eyes? Will you ever forget their beauty? No one will.

Men of six feet seven, with backs from Atlas and hearts from Heaven — and there you have Hale summed up in two lines! But two lines could never contain all of Hale, all his cheer and dependability. He has proven a mighty bulwark of strength on the football team for lo these many years, and no less has he nobly supported Wesleyan Players, The Varsity Club, The Masonic Club, and Chresto. He is truly invaluable. 66 r m u r m o nt i s , :illO«OKOIIOHOIIOIIOII01iCJ!IOIIOIIO . Junior Class Eva McVaney BUCKHANNON, W. VA. Chrestomathean. A girl mathematical shark! A rare thing, indeed, but Eva is a lover of this deep and dark subject. And this is not the least of her attractions, for she is a graduate of Wesleyan ' s School of Expression, and showed rare talent in her performance of Tarkington ' s Mister Antonio last June. Henry L. Rohrbolgh CAMDEN , W. VA. Varsity Football, ' 19, ' 20, ' 22. The Happy Giant is a good title for this Curly headed athlete. A laugh under the gray of his eyes; his big form is strewn with vari- ous gold basketballs and footballs which he has won on Weslevan athlet ic fields. rmurmontis, 1924 S y 4 cJL, OliOilOIIOHOllOllOIIO llOHOHO llOilQilOIiOitOH Junior Class Eva Mae Brown MANMN ' CTOX, W.

This little Dresden China shepherdess has a voice which Orpheus himself might envy, and which has served her Alma Mater well in the Glee Club for three years. Her little hands have played sad havoc among the mas- culine hearts of YVesleyan, and she has ably assisted Gladys in all the schemes which that young lady has concocted. Curtis Price CHARLESTON 1 , W. VA. Y. M. C. A. ; Excelsior ; Webster Debating Club; Benzene Ring. The Philander (consult Webster ' s Un- abridged ) of the Junior Class! Wherever you find a group of ladies, Curtis is usually the center of attraction. A great favorite at the Ladies ' Hall. 6S Murmur montis , 1924 OllOllOIIOIIOIIOIIOtlOIIOIIOllOIIOUO Ch Dorothy Lee Cookman BUCKHANKON, W. VA. Girls ' Athletic Association.

A.; Chrestomathean ; President Wes- leyan Dehating Club; President Wesleyan Masonic Club; Wesleyan Players; Business Manager Murmurmontis. That man in double harness who combines the arts of student, orator, forester, and actor — oh, superbly an actor — oh, powerfully an orator — efficiently a Forester — ably a stu- dent. In the role of inimitable husband we know he is acquitting himself well. 6 9 rmurmontis, 1924 t.JT cl JcJez. Helen V. ass J f I.LAR - - - ' ' • FAST ORANGE, . J. V. V. C.

And this scintillating young lady has right nobly upheld the high standard of her state. Although somewhat annoyed by a healthy case of whooping cough, at the first of the New Year, Helen has found time to take an active part in Y. W. C. A. and the affairs at the hall. She is one of those persons who can study French and Greek and Latin, and not acquire as well a priggish m ien, and her cleverness is as win- some and gay as it is deep. Janette Saunders LAKE WOOD, OHIO Y. Y. C. A.; Chrestomathean. The girl with the inimitable halo of gold hair, the girl who charms with her differ- ence.

Colombo Treasurer Prophecy In giving this prophecy I cannot deal with each individual, but must concern my- self only with representatives from the different types of students in our undaunted, untarnished, conspicuous, and valiant class. One time when I was in a somnambulistic state I saw the students of the Class of ' 26 engaged in their professions and doing the things which will employ their time in 193S. At Red Rock, West Virginia, I saw a famous Preachers ' Club. The most eminent members enrolled were the Rev. Nicholas Raschella, Bishop Duke Eastman, and Dr. Happy Clawson. Next I saw in the far distant city of San Francisco an electric sign in large letters which contained the names of many Wesleyan students. Prima Donna Hazel Cline, Mademoiselle Esther Sigafoose, and Senorita Edna Walters were featured prominently in the week ' s program. Before my eyes next came the great city of Paris, where I found at the head of the gamblers ' union, George Bayer and Dewey Clark. After this I saw in a quiet secluded spot near Mountain Grove a large homey looking building bearing the sign, Old Maids ' Glory. Among the inmates were Ethel Zickefoose, Louise Thomas, Edna Miller and Agnes Crabtree. Finally, I was taken by the god of sleep to the sunny South where on Miami beach strolled the professional coquettes. The most celebrated among them being Roxie Ward and Merrie Swisher. Corresponding to this type of femininity I saw the following no less celebrated members from the masculine side of our class: Eddie Hall, Johnny McGraw, Wally Grant and Ira Loving. Gradually these figures faded and I awoke to find myself in a very cramped and uncomfortable position. Class Prophet. ss Murmurmontis, 1924 Freshman Class Herrert Schwartz ROVALTON, MINN.

The Thursday evening meetings are both entertaining and inspirational. The genuine fellowship which exists in these meetings is one of the most dearly cherished remembrances to the alumni who were active members of the organization. Students who go through college without having been regular attendants of the Y. M. C. A. have missed a valuable part of the preparation for a successful life ' s work. Officers Winfield S.

We are justly proud of the wide range of talent manifested by both old and new members. The usual programs of music, orations, debates, readings, and the traditional Plain Dealer were varied by special evenings such as Colonial Days, Indian Land, The Fatal Necklace, Life ' s Pathway, and Feb- ruary Friends. Other bright spots in the year were the reception, the banquet, and the annual play, Th: Tailor-Made Man. Among the pleasant features has been the cordial fellowship enjoyed by the members of the society. Officfrs First Sernestei Harold Saum President . .

Swiger In the history of Webster Debating Club the school year of 1922-23 has been one of no slight achievements. Very interesting programs have been given, and a marked interest in the value of oratorical attainments has been demonstrated. The fact that seven of the twelve members of the men ' s Inter-Collegiate Debating Club came from Webster is sufficient proof that the Webster Debating Club is doing her bit for Wesleyan in this riield. The seven notables are Morris L. Husted, Carl W. Wellon, John E. Hanifan, Denton M. Harold, Clyde S. Swiger, Thomas D. Heming, and John Wallace Grant. The last three of this group were gleaned from the Freshman Class of this year, and we believe that they will attain many laurels for Wesleyan College and Webster Debating Club in the years to come. 3 M urmur monti s , 1924 Uf fB . illIJti4iilliMl fimn WESLEYAN MASONIC CI.L ' B :i+ r m ur m o nti s , WesL eyan Masonic Club IHE Wesleyan Masonic Club was organized in Wesleyan College in 1920 i t] tor the purpose of bringing into closer fellowship the Masonic brethren who are associated with Wesleyan College, and who, true to the Masonic ideal, are here for the purpose of better preparing ourselves for traveling in that far and distant country, always working according to the designs which have been laid down to us from time immemorial.

Husted Departments and Organizations Seward Reese Personals Avis Teter Class Reporter With the establishment of the Pharos on a sound financial basis, a new era has opened in Wesleyan newspaperdom. The Pharos has extended its scope to include all of Wesleyan, past and present, and with the hearty co-operation of the faculty, we have m ade our best effort to record the life and activities of the college and its people. We have tried to show our present students what the college has done for them, and to inculcate a love for old Wesleyan that will live forever. We have tried to bring back to our former students old memories that would fan into flames their forgotten ardor for Alma Mater; and lastly, we have tried to make Wesleyan a better place in which to live. Time alone can tell what we have accomplished. We shall feel, however, that our efforts have been well rewarded if we have simply perpetuated the old Wesleyan spirit that means so much to us nil. 117 Murmur montis , 1924 PBif (jf 4 f  = ' -Jk = iJm, i Jk MM h Jk mdM BENZENE RIXG 1:8 r m u r m o nt 7 s , B enzene Ring JHK Department of Physical Science of West Virginia Wesleyan College has more than doubled during the last four years. The Benzene Ring is, there- J fore, a natural outgrowth of the growth of this department. The ring was organized in the spring of 1920 for the purpose of promoting interest in the physical sciences. All students in advanced science at Wesleyan College are eligible for mem- bership. It is significant to note that nearly every eligible student has become a member. Due to the loss, by graduation, of many of the old timers last spring, it was feared that the ring could not hold together this year. It did get a late start, but with a number of new members, is doing its best to make up for lost time. The first semester ' s work consisted entirely of business sessions and initiations, but the second semester ' s program includes trips to industrial plants and lectures from outside the college. Lec- tures are open to all students, so that the whole school may share the benefit. One of the ring ' s greatest achievements is the establishment of a science library. The library, although small, is composed of books of every practical value. Students find them invaluable for reference work. The Benzene Ring is a comparatively new organization. All that it has achieved has been done since the spring of 1920. But it is not satisfied with things as they are. It has come to stay. It will be a permanent organization at Wesleyan, and will do its part in helping to raise the standards of scholarship of the institution.

Wesleyan ' s dramatic club, The Wesleyan Players, was organized less than a year ago. The club has a membership of seventeen persons. The meetings are bi- weekly, and at each meeting a modern play is reviewed and discussed, criticisms from the theater magazine and the drama are read and reports are given as to the interests and progress of other collegiate dramatic clubs. The players have just completed plans for the opening of a children ' s theater at the college. A play for children will be presented each month with a story-teller to entertain the youngsters between acts. The play presented in February was The Silver Thread, by Constance MacKay. The players will play the parts, build the scenery and fashion the costumes for these plays. It is the purpose of the club to bring a reader or lecturer to Buckhannon every year. Walter Bradley Tripp of Emerson College, Boston, has been secured for this year. The following plays have been presented by the players: The Piper Josephine Preston Peaboily The Trysting Place Booth Tarkington The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife Anatole France The spring production will be The Admirable Crichton, by Barrie. All plays are under the personal direction of Miss Mildred Little, head of the dramatic department.

The Preachers Kids ' Club is one of the most energetic and wide-awake organizations in school. Officers Nevah Westfall President Thomas Weaver Vice-President Lois Grose Secretary and Treasurer r m ur m o nt 1 s , Wesleyan Ministerial Association JHERE are several clubs and various organizations in Wesleyan, each, we be- lieve, filling a worthy place in the life of the college. It is a good thing that these organizations exist for they are signs of progress and efficiency. Among these is the Ministerial Association, a club whose membership is composed of students who have elected to spend their lives in the Christian Ministry. The asso- ciation does not stand for exclusiveness, but claims as its right for existence to be a helping hand and an asset in the college life of its members. The association makes no claim to having an elaborate program. However, there is real constructive work and much good being done within the organization, and this will, in turn, affect the lives which our members touch in their career. On March 9, 1923, a very helpful paper was read in our meeting by Professor Chrisman. His subject was, The Vernacular of the Pulpit. It is the plan of the program com- mittee to provide a similar hour ' s program once a month. The principal reason why the Association does not follow out an intensive organi- zation program is that its members are officers and active members of other helpful associations of the college, such as the Y. M. C. A., the literary societies, the Masonic Club, etc. These, with others, are splendid result-bringing institutions and the Min- isterial Association does not wish to add to its members any extra obligations by having too much to do in the club itself. We desire to co-operate with the other organizations which hold to those high standards that tend to elevate and educate in the fourfold life — Spirit, Mind, Body, Society. This association purposes to stand by and for anything in the college life that is wholesome and square. We are ready to co-operate with faculty and the rest of the student body in such ways that may count for the best interests of all. We would serve where service is most needed, and every way, all the time do our bit as men and loyal students of Wesleyan College. P. E. Chamberlain. President. N. L.

A. Hob Higgins, head coach of football at Wesleyan, opened vhVM training camp on August 30th the essence of his program was, Building i ,JrVw| or tne future. Assisted by Coach K. M. Ross, and Athletic Director Ii Ji - a Carl Miller, a squad of seventy-eight candidates were driven at a gruelling pace for two weeks in selecting the timber for what was to become the 1922 team. Coach Higgins surprised his most ardent admirers by turning out in just thirty days, from a squad composed largely of inexperienced players, a team that held West Virginia University to a 20-} score in the opening game, played at Fairmont on Sep- tember 30th. This was a notable achievement when it is taken into consideration that West Virginia was undefeated last season. Three weeks later another encouraging surprise was ushered in when Wesleyan held Washington and Jefferson to a 14-O score in the game played at Washington, Pa. These games were the only ones lost by Wesleyan in the ten games played ; a most encouraging record for what might well be termed a freshman team. Following the Washington and Jefferson defeat, Wesleyan journeyed to Huntington, and there won from Marshall College 48-21. The next week at Pittsburgh, Wes- leyan defeated Duquesne University 27-0. Returning home for the Armistice Day game, Wesleyan prepared for what many believed was the outstanding victory of the season. The Third Army Corps football eleven of Baltimore conquered the I ni- versity of Pennsylvania one week before Armistice Day, but at Clarksburg, lost to Wesleyan 10-6. On the following Saturday, November iHth, Morris-Harvey College was played in Charleston. Wesleyan won 21-6 after an easy game, made difficult by the sea of mud which covered Laidley Field, where the game was played. Next, Grove City was defeated 14-9 in the home-coming gam? played on College Field, in a game played in the snow, during a biting western blizzard. The final star tor the Wesleyan gridiron crown was a blazing one. Bethany Col- lege, after defeating Rutgers and Butler, was met and defeated 3-2 in a game played at Clarksburg, December 2nd, which will go down in history as one of the closest scores on record, and as one of the hardest fought football battles ever waged in West Virginia. Coach Higgins held to his Building for the Future program throughout the sea- son, and worked unceasingly without regard to games to build a permanent football s stem at Wesleyan. That his first-season efforts were crowned with success is plainly manifest. Next September the work will be taken up where it was left on December 2nd. The continual building, steady progressive plan of Coach Higgins will not be without its just fruits at the end of th; 1923 season.

West Virginia University captured the state pennant by virtue of two victories over Wesleyan during the past season, and Wesleyan basketball enthusiasts now have something to look forward to winning anew. The basketball season served as did the football season. The under- lying motive through the season was to build for the future. Coach Ross entered upon the season with a veteran team, and with a squad of excel- lent floor material. His system was readily taken up by the youngsters on the squad, but the veterans had difficulty in shifting their style of play in some instances. Yet on the whole the two elements were blended to- gether and save the defeats suffered at the hands of State, the season ended a success. Athletic Director Miller found his schedule for 1923 partly ar- ranged when he came to Wesleyan last June. Around these games he arranged the best card possible, but was handicapped in arranging the season in such a way that Wesleyan could have played the game away from home under less strenuous circumstances, because of the earlier arrangements. The record of the team speaks for itself, a record of which Wesleyan students and Wesleyan floor enthusiasts are justly proud. 131 1924 m f- l f JP All J W ■ Ifl hlt K ■ ■, 4 vk t Girls ' Basketball R I- CORD Wesleyan 20; Wesleyan 15; Wesleyan 17; Wesleyan 25 ; Wesleyan . 29 ; Wesleyan 19 ; Fairmont Normal 21 West Liberty 17 Davis El kins 6 Fairmont Normal 14 West Liberty 12 Davis Flkins 2 r mur m o nti s , Wesleyan Girls State Champions 30R the first time in the history of Wesleyan Girls ' Basketball the Orange and Black claims the state collegiate girls ' title. • ' _ Jl By defeating every collegiate team in the state played, by de- cisive scores, Coach Nason ' s team has won an undisputed claim to the girls ' pennant. The work of Amelia Flanigan has been one of the outstanding fea- tures of the girls ' season. Pitcher tossed eleven field goals against Fairmont Normal which is a record within itself. Wesleyan defeated West Liberty Normal, Davis Elkins, and Fairmont Normal by de- cisive scores after Salem had been eliminated by both Davis Elkins and Fairmont Normal. Great interest in the girls ' game has marked the entire season on the part of the students, and the team, coached by Miss Nason, head of the department of Physical Education for Women, gave a good account of itself, repaying the students handsomely in every game played for their interest. The team will practically be intact for next year. Jess Furr will be lost by graduation, and will leave a post at guard that will be hard to fill. Margaret Kyle will also be lost by graduation. Aside from these two losses from the personnel of the team Coach Nason may well look forward to a big basketball year in 1924. It has been largely due to her efforts that girls ' basketball has again climbed back as one of the leading sports at West Virginia Wesleyan. The record for the year is one of which champions may well be proud, and one which the entire school reads with a spirit of elation. At the close of the season letters were awarded, indicative of the skill and efficiency attained by each individual player. The list of the players who received this honor is as follows: Amelia Flamcan Ethel Zickefoose Jess Furr Ruth Johnson Louise Creel Margaret Kyle •33 «9 Murmurmontis, 1924 Arthur V. G. Upton, Manager The 1923 Tournament The Tenth Annual West Virginia High School Basketball Tournament, held at Wesleyan- College March 15, 16, 17, 1923, proved to be the greatest athletic event ever staged in the state. With sixty-one teams entered, ten cheering delegations, and the double court system, this year ' s tournament will go down in athletic history as the outstanding event of the year. In the tournament this year many dark horses appeared. Parkersburg and Fol- lansbee, two teams not rated as championship teams, displayed basketball skill of real championship caliber, and it was with no regret to the athletic authorities of the state that these teams were the State Champions and Runners Up, respectively, in Di- vision A. To Keyser and West Monongah go the honors of Champions and Run- ners Up in Division B. The tournament was planned and directed by Arthur V. G. Upton, a senior of Wesleyan College, whose executive ability cannot be questioned. He was ably assisted by a large percentage of the student body whose organized effort helped to make this classic event a success. The tenth annual tournament was a success. There is no cloud on the horizon to darken the future of the tournament at Wesleyan. May we all work together to keep the tournament on this high plane, and develop throughout West Virginia the spirit of good sportsmanship, fair play, and added interest in the field of high school and colle- giate athletics. •34 Varsity Club Organized in 1920 the Wesleyan Varsity Club has grown until today it is the largest organi- zation of its kind in West Virginia. The membership is made up of students and former stu- dents at Wesleyan who have earned the varsity W in one of the recognized branches of sports. The first banquet held by the club during the State High School Tournament in 1922 was a great success and brought together the largest group of Wesleyan letter men that have ever as- sembled. Coaches of the high school teams from all over the state were guests of the club at this event, as well as newspapermen representing the state and tri-state press. Because of the interest in scholastic athletics the Varsity Club offers each year a tropin to the winners in the Class B division. Jane Lew High School won the first trophy. The Wesleyan Varsity stands for clean sports, and governs the issuing and wearing of varsity trophies, at the same time keeping alive the athletic traditions which have been established and treasured by Wesleyan athletes in the years which have past.

Irwin Roiirbouch Cecil Ross Tom Riuer Guv Swisher i35 rmurmontis, 1924 Wesleyan s Athletic Outlook jHE outlook for athletics at West Virginia Wesleyan is highly encouraging from the most conservative point of view. The athletic system is being built up on a solid foundation, and is backed by the co-operation of the alumni and the college. The first year under the control of the Alumni Board athletics at Wesleyan have rapidly approached their former prominence in the tri-state collegiate district, and all indications point out that the trend at this time is in the right direction. With an inexperienced but willing squad of football players, Coaches Higgins and Ross started in the 1922 football season. After a reverse at the outset the team began playing together under careful coaching, and of the ten games played during the season lost but two, these two being lost to West Virginia University, and to Washington Jefferson. But few are lost to the team for next year through graduation. Nearly the whole squad have from two to three years yet to play for Wesleyan. The outlook speaks for itself, and could not be made more promising by verbal coloring. Coach Ross is building baseball and spring sports along the same general plan that crowned the football season. The very best teams possible are being built now, but the future is not being sacrificed for the present. Instead the essence of the plan is to make the present as good as possible and build for the future. This plan built into a system insures ultimate success, and lasting success. Within another year it is planned to have all sports that have ever been played at Wesleyan, revived. When the present system gets the fundamentals correctly built accomplishments must follow, one after the other, which will build not only present sports but make room for others. It has never been nor is it now the idea to make Wesleyan a purely athletic school. The idea is to make Wesleyan athletics approach as nearly as possible the same high plane and the same high standard that mark other lines of activity at West Virginia Wesleyan College. 136 WS  Murmurmontis, 1924 Murmurmontis, 1924 MMJawMaffiggrapara™ Jok es Mary Morgan: You are the first man I ever permitted to kiss me.

From the Observation and Experience of the Editor (Selected) There are two kinds of people on earth today, Just two kinds of people, no more, I say. Not the saint and the sinner, for ' tis well understood The good are half bad and the bad are half good; Not the rich and the poor, for to count a man ' s wealth You must first know the state of his conscience and health; Not the humble and proud, for in life ' s little span Who puts on vain airs is not counted a man; Not the happy and sad, for the swift-flying years Bring each man his laughter, each man his tears. No, the two kinds of people on earth I mean Are the people who lift and the people who lean. Where ' er you go, you will find the world ' s masses Are always divided in just these two classes; And, oddly enough, you will find, too, I ween, There is only one lifter to twenty who lean. In what class are you? Are you easing the load Of over-taxed lifters who toil down the road? Or are you a leaner, who lets others bear Your portion of labor and worry and care? Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

They, too, have wandered in this spot, Have trod these same old halls; Have drawn from Learning ' s endless store, Within these same dear walls; Vet, oh, the names of most of these We know not; they are gone; They studied here, and laughed, and sang. They wrote and then passed on. Oh, you could tell full many a tale Of hopes, and dreams, and fears, Of thoughts forgotten long ago, Of happiness and tears. Yet you are silent, guarding well Your secrets of the past; We hear a softly murmurous sound; Oh, will you speak at last? But no, ' tis but the rustling breeze, Our fancy serves us ill ; Since naught else stirs within the spot, And you are silent still. Is this the meaning, watchman old, That you, when we are gone, Will guard our secrets; that we, too, Must write, and then pass on? Mary E. Sumner. 141 ■ W Famous Dates of the Year 1922.

His eyes lingered on the few penciled words: I had saved this for some special plans, but I guess you need it more, my boy. He knew what his father meant by the Special Plans. He knew of the class reunion to be held next week, the reunion of his father ' s class. He knew of the plans his father had made for attending it, and he did not need the casual statement at the end of the letter — that he guessed he wouldn ' t come to the reunion this year as it was a busy time on the farm, and he couldn ' t very well get away — to tell him why these plans were changed. He knew also that not all the farm work in the United States could have kept his father from this reunion of the twenty-fifth year after graduation ; this re- union which he had heard his father say so many times was to be a special meeting; when every member of the class, who was still living, was to be present. No, it had been his plea for money, coming just at the hardest time for farmers, which had changed his father ' s plans; but dear old dad would never tell him that. Well, he needed the money; in fact he MUST have it. There was the new suit for commencement; and there were the other expenses necessary if he was to take the trip just after commencement. And everybody said he must not miss that trip. It would be so educational and would mean so much to him; and it was an unusual op- portunity, to go with the professor. After all, dad wouldn ' t mind. He was ac- customed to missing reunions by this time, for Dick could not remember his ever hav- ing attended one. And then, in the heat of that June day, Dick fell asleep. He seemed to see a clasJ seated around a banquet table. Somehow, he knew that it was his class, although the members had grown older and were now men and women of the world. But he looked in vain for himself, and he heard someone saying: Where ' s Dick? The only one who is absent from our class; and we were all to be here on this twenty-fifth anniversary of our graduation ! He awoke with a start. Surely he could only have been asleep for a few minutes; but that sharp anguish and aching pain at being left out, at having the class meet and him not there, lingered with him. Could his father care that much ? Did he, too, want to be one of the bunch ? His glance fell on the check which had fallen from his ringers, and which seemed, to his startled gaze, to be burning a hole through the carpet. 143 9 r mur monti s , 1924 He sprang to his feet, seized the scrap of paper and tore it into shreds. Without stopping for his cap, he rushed to the telegraph office and sent a telegram, saying: Trip impossible. Don ' t need check, so have destroyed it. Use money to come to reunion. Let nothing prevent. Then, with slower steps, he made his way to the professor ' s home, and told him that he regretted it very much, but it would be utterly impossible for him to accompany him that summer, and that John Harper was anxious for the opportunity. Dick did not regret his action in the least, in the days that fol- lowed, for he had only to recall the vacant chair in his dream in order to banish all thought of regret; but there was a lingering bit of sadness in his heart at the thought of what he had lost. A week later Dick was walking across the college campus, when he saw a strange procession coming toward him. Gray-haired men they were, some old and bent, some middle-aged and straight, but all past their youthful days; and yet, they were singing a rollicking old college song and laughing as gayly as any boys. In the very center of the group, the life of the entire party, was — his father — but a father he had never known ; a strangely young father, the youngest in appearance of all the group, and the gayest. That was the governor of the state with his arm linked through Dad ' s, and familiarly calling him Hal. And Dad — why Dad — he was proud of Dad! Why hadn ' t he ever known he was like that? And suddenly the bit of sadness in his heart was changed to a tremendous, overwhelming gladness. What did the losing of a trip matter when by that loss one discovered that he had such a wonderful father; gay, boyish, happy, and as young in spirit as he himself was young in years! What did anything matter? For Dick had found Dad. — ' 25- •44 Murmurmontis, 1924 MacAVOY SISTERS PHOTOGRAPHERS STUDIOS AT BUCK.HANNON AND PHILIPPI WEST VIRGINIA Portraits Frames Projected Prints Amateur Finishing Koda k Films EVERYTHING PHOTOGRAPHIC Mrs. S D.

Autographs Murmur montis , 1924 The initials of a friend You will find these letters on many tools by which electricity works. They are on great generators used by electric light and power companies ; and on lamps that light millions of homes. They are on big motors that pull railway trains ; and on tiny motors that make hard housework easy. By such tools electricity dispels the dark and lifts heavy burdens from human shoulders. Hence the letters G-E are more than a trademark. They are an emblem of service— the initials of a friend. GENERAL ELECTRIC
