Not only is he a man of high scholastic attain- ments, but also a man of commanding intellect, deep insight, and excep- tional executive ability. In 1913, Dr. Cutshall received his A. 15. degree from Cornell College, and was sent on a scholarship, representing the Department of Psychology, to the University of Iowa. He received his A.M. degree there in 1914, doing his thesis work under the special supervision of Dr. Carl Emil Seashore, dean of the graduate school and probably the world ' s leading student in the psychology of music. After his graduation from the University of Iowa, he served for two years as pastor at Fairfax, Iowa. He received his H.I), degree from Garrett Biblical Institute in 1918, and was made Swift Fellow of the American University in 1919. He spent the years of 1919 and 192C1 in meeting the residence requirements at the University of Chicago for the Ph.D. degree. In the fall of K120, Dr. Cutshall began his work in the University of Pennsylvania as head of the Wesley Foundation and director of religious education for seven Protestant denominations. He received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Chi- cago in 1922, and early the following year was elected to his present position. President Cutshall ' s ambition has been to combine the activities of a student, a speaker, and an administrator. He is a man of broad education and wide interests. He is especially interested in philosophy, theology, economics, and sociology. His am- bition as an administrator is to carefully study the student body, the church, athletics, the faculty, the curriculum and finance in order to maintain a symmetrical, well- rounded program. With a man of Dr. Cutshall ' s type at her head, the future of Wesleyan is bright with hope. Murmurmonlis, Nineteen Tw - as _ m Z _J I ' REsmnxT ELMER t;i Y 11 tsii m.i., i ' k.d. James J.

Patterson President Victor Murphy Vice-President Janette Saunders Secretary Helen Howard Treasurer Senior Class History OUR years have passed since the Class of 1924 entered the halls of West Virginia Wesleyan. Those years, judged from the standpoint of time, represent but atoms in the history of the ages, but to us they represent four of the most important years of our lives. Years that have been spent in gaining knowledge, in developing char- acter, in building friendships, and in all, fitting us to go out into the world to take our place, to fight the battles of life, to achieve and win honors for the school that has given to us our training. To write a history of this class would require pages. We do not have the space in which to recount the deeds of this class and its members. It must suffice to men- tion a few things that make the Class of ' 24. one of the outstanding classes in the history of Wesleyan. We entered Wesleyan in the fall of 1920 ; there were one hundred and thirty-six of us then. Since that time the personnel of the class has changed and now we have come to the end of our Wesleyan career with a membershp of fifty-one. Some have dropped by the way, others have found it necessary to leave us, and a few have gone to other universities and colleges. The Class of ' 24. was the first class to go under Freshmen Rules, and by the spirit in which those rules were kept and obeyed, Wesleyan was able to start that which is destined to be one of the big traditions of the Old School. We lost the tug-of-war. although we fought manfully, we were pulled over by the bigger and more experienced Sophomores. By this defeat we lost the right to use the front entrance of the Administration building, and had to use the side doors. When we became Sophomores we inflicted this same defeat upon the Class of 1925. During that year the Freshmen Rules were rewritten and elaborated, and it was the Class of ' 24 that was given the job of putting them into effect, and we did so in such a manner as to firmly establish this tradition at Wesleyan and to so impress the Class of ' 25 that they will never forget us. The members of this class, during our four years in Wesleyan, have won honors in every department of Wesleyan school life. Their brilliancy has been shown on the football field, the basketball floor, and on the diamond. Of the students who took part in the Intercollegiate Debate of 1923, three were from the Class of ' 24. Her members have had the honor of being the presidents of two Literary Societies, of the Christian Associations, the Debating Clubs, the Dramatic Club, and other organizations in Wesleyan. In addition to all this, the Class of ' 24 has the honor of having as her members the first two presidents of the Student Council. We leave Wesleyan with a feeling of sadness and regret that we must go. Our hope is that our four years here have not been in vain; that Wesleyan has been benefited by our presence, and we go forth from her halls determined that we will ever keep aloft her traditions, her honor and her ideals.

Many daughters have done virtuously, hut thou excellest them all. Grace has a camouflage of a quiet, exclusive manner, which encloses the real individual. The ideals for which she stands are always the highest, and her attainments in scholar- ship can well he the envy of many. Chalmers Ault, A.B.

The soul that can be honest Is the only perfect man. He wins honors for himself in football, and when it comes to honor in hasketball — his pop- ularity, and the fact that we know he is the man for the place made him our student man- ager.

It has been a successful and progressive year in many ways. The aim has always been to co-operate with the faculty in every possible way. and this has been undertaken by means of various joint committees from the faculty and the Student Council. The first steps toward assuming a small degree of student government were taken when the following proposition w; ' s presented by the Student Council to the student body and adopted by them: The students shall he responsible for the aesthetic care of the buildings, campus polish. and the enforcement of the honor system. The Student Council may well be considered the most vital organization in school because of its direct interest in all other organizations. With the start made this year, it should be able to undertake many more projects in the future which will work toward a better Wesleyan. Offk I ks Half.

Among the programs of the year, The Mock Trial, Living Pictures, East of Lynn, Mass., and (. ' lass Nights are outstanding. The membership has been large and the members faithful.

Kxcelsior was organized in the days when dates off the campus were watched for with binoculars, when nickelodeons and Fords were not. Throughout the changes of the cars, it has remained a loved and honored part of student lite and Wesleyan memories. It is more to us than a mere list of names on a roll book, more than a mere meeting place to gather at appointed times.

Preachers ' Kids are sn often not appreciated. That is, the idea seems to be preva- lent that the children from parsonages are not jolly and that thej are afraid of losing their dignity. On the other hand, the rather contradictor] statement has sometimes been made that Preachers ' Kids behave in a worse manner than other kids. In order to disprove both of these notions, the Preachers ' Kids Club was organized with the sole purpose of having a good time. And it has been ably carrying out its pur- pose m past ears and especially during this year. Have you not been able to ' pick out tlie members of this organization h their exceeding good nature?

I ' m ' to the fact that mam of the most loyal and valued members graduated last June, onlj a few were left to carrj on the work. The few that were left felt the responsibility of building up the club, to make it a place of opportunity for the mem- bers to become more proficient in the methods of debating. A higher standard lias been set in the scheduling of debates, tor the club is endeavoring to make it a training ground for intercollegiate work. Wesleyan Debating Club is the proud possessor of the Harding Cup. The club has excelled in social, as well as forensic events, and the fourth annual banquet will be a joyful and long remembered time in this year ' s record.

At the beginning of the year there was no editor and only two or three of the staff members elected last spring were in school. These few representatives met with a committee from the faculty and the Student Council in an attempt to bring order out of chaos, and the present staff, with a few exceptions, was elected, ami at once began work. The paper was entirely reorganized and renamed The Wesleyan Pharos. It is now published every week, instead ot every two weeks as formerlj ; the staff operates on a competitive basis; and a Board of Control, consisting of three members of the faculty, two of the Pharos staff, two of the alumni, and two of the student body, has been formed. The change which has been made in the appearance of the paper is one which all can appreciate. The special eight-page Christmas number, printed on paper which carried out the school color scheme, was a great success. We have tried to make ot The Wesleyan Pharos this year a paper of which all present and former students of Wesleyan can he proud, both now and in the coming years. We have put our best efforts into making it a progressive, interesting, ami representative school paper, which would he a power in every phase ol college life. We have given our best to it, and we dedicate our efforts to all lovers ot Wesleyan. Tui Wesleyan Pharos Staff Pi wis W. Tenney Editor-in-Chief Mary E.

It is a club distinct from the Wesleyan or Webster Clubs, but is composed of men drawn from these two organizations. Membership in the club is awarded only after forensic ability has been displayed by the candidate. The Intercollegiate Club is a unit of the West Virginia Intercollegiate Association, organized in April, 1923. The purpose of the association, and of each unit, is to foster and encourage debating and oratory in the state. Last season (io,22- ' 23) the question, Resolved, that the power of the Federal Supreme Court to declare statutes unconstitutional be restricted, was debated in a triangle by Bethany, Salem, and Wesleyan. Salem won at Wesleyan, Bethany at Salem, and Wesleyan at Bethany. The work of the Club is limited because of lack of funds, but it is hoped that through reawakened interest in debating at Wesleyan more loyal support will be given the team and a wider program be possible. Wesleyan Teams Affirmative — Negative — Dennis W. Tenney Denton Harold John Hanifan Winfield Patterson- Clyde Swicer (Alternate) Wallace Grant (Alternate) 130 Murmurmonlis, Nineteen Twenly-Five The 1924 Tournament The eleventh annual West Virginia State High School Basketball Tournament was, in the minds of those who have witnessed all of the tournaments in past years, by far the most success- ful ever held. The entire affair, starting on the minute, and ending on the minute, showed most thorough planning, and the mammoth event ran as smoothly throughout as a canoe on a quiet lake. This fact is more significant when it is considered that seventy-two basketball teams played in the tournament — nine more teams than ever before entered in the annual event. The two-division tournament plan was used again tor the third time, and this system proved conclusively its value to the tournament. Physical strain is no longer a tournament problem. It has been reduced to the minimum. Charleston and Burns ville High Schools won the championship in their respective divisions. Grafton High was runner-up in Division A and East Hank was runner-up in Division B. rhese four team- were, without doubt, the best in their divisions. The tournament director, John L. Teets, attributes the success of the tournament to the un- excelled co-operation of high school coaches and teams, and to the college students who un- seltishl shouldered the various ta ks assigned them in the different departments and discharged their duties with maximum efficiency. Particular commendation is given to Professor I.e Tellier, tournament chief of police; Professor George Glauner, chief of ushers, and to the assistant di- rectors, Nicholas Raschella and Dwight Stewart. The organizing and administrative ability of the 1924 tournament director must not be overlooked. It was the ise selection of assistants for the various departments of the tournament that made the big event the huge success it was. s 1,1 - — c_ -1 II 1 II II rr 1 133 ■C Murmurmonlis, Nineteen Twenty-Five B enzene Ring HL Benzene Ring was organized in the spring of 1921, by advanced stu- dents in the Department of Chemistry. Since then it has had a steady growth, and is now one ot the most active and wide-awake organizations of Wesleyan. 1 he main objective oi the Ring is the advancement of physical science. Meetings are held on the first and third Wednesday nights of each month. Programs consist ot lectures and demonstrations by students, faculty mem- bers, and men of science not connected with the college. Last spring, as guests of the Clarksburg Chamber of Commerce, the society visited a num- ber of important industrial plants in that city. The Benzene Ring furnishes a splendid opportunity for those who are interested in science tor its own sake. Although the organization is primarily of a scientific nature, it does not entirely overlook the lighter aspects ot lite. Initiations and the annual banquet are social af- fairs that are always heartily enjoyed by the members. All students who have completed .1 year ' s work in some branch ot physical science, are eligible tor membership. A class ot new members is initiated at the beginning of each semester. The development of the Benzene Ring has been gradual rather than phenomenal. But, with the momentum that it has already acquired, and with forty-one energetic members all working enthusiastically together, it cannot hut continue to contribute more and more toward the initiating and supporting ot high ideals in Wesleyan College.

Though its members are few, each meeting is fraught with spiritual power and religious fervor of the purest type, resulting in a contagious willingness to help the other fellow, and making a most flourishing and progressive organization. Besides inspirational biographical study and Scriptural discussions, the interest and worth of every week ' s gathering is enhanced by current information and help received in letters fresh from the mission front. In its endeavor to profit by the illustrious examples of the past, its intense desire to realize a practical Christianity, and with its express hope to keep in touch with its champions in the field, this energetic and purposeful band is striking a most vital chord in the spiritual life of Wesleyan, and is busily brightening its corner in the heart life of the school.

There was once an Indian chieftain who, each year, tested his braves for strength, endurance and will power, by sending them up a steep moun- tain side on the run to ascertain which could go the farthest in a day. Each brave was required to bring home some emblem, gathered up as he ran, which would show the height to which he climbed. Three braves were started out by their chieftain on such a test. At evening time the first returned, and in his hand he bore a sprig of hemlock, showing that he had climbed to the high timber line. A second returned and he bore a hard piece of flint rock, showing that he had climbed to bleak heights beyond the timber line. It was dark when the third returned, his feet torn from traveling over rocks on the mountain side. What have you to show how high you climbed? asked his chief. Nothing, replied the tired brave, but I saw the sea! As one looks into the future he cannot but feel the pride that some Wesleyan man will feel, some time, when he turns back and reads the history of Wesleyan athletics of 1923 and 1924. With the athletic season of i923- ' 24 fast drawing to a close, one cannot but feel optimistic. Through the struggles of early organization and of rebuilding an ath- letic system, once the greatest in West Virginia, but sacrificed during war time . Wesleyan athletics have again climbed to the mountain top, from where one can look upon the sea. Our athletic teams are winning a majority of games. Athletic requirements are second only to scholastic requirements. The two march hand in hand. Athletics at Wesleyan are not being developed for the few, but for the many. Special emphasis is being placed on perfection of athletes for varsity teams to provide a goal for the mass. With the largest gymnasium in West Virginia, plans are now being rapidly completed for the placing of a completely equipped and appointed athletic field on the campus. The present field will, in the near future, be the site for a new college building. Good roads are fast linking up our college town with main thoroughfares leading to trunk line national road systems. Thousands will, in the near future, gather here for important athletic events. Preparation is being made for that time now. Each year shows Wesleyan getting higher and higher recognition in national collegiate athletic circles. The 1924 schedules show a decided step forward. The present athletic system, founded on sound basic principles, stands for clean, construc- tive athletics; athletics that will help build a better and bigger Wesleyan. 140 Murmurmonlis, Nineteen Twenty-Five ... n. ;.m K.

Ross, enjoyed a very successful season. Not a game was lost on the collegiate schedule. The Pittsburgh Collegians defeated Wesleyan one game in a two-game series, but decisive victories were chalked up over West Vir- ginia University and Salem College.

Beecher Dunn led the batting averages with the unusual average of .566. Schwartz was next with .472, followed by Hullman batting at .400 and John- son with .386. The ability of these men to hit played an important part in bringing to Wesleyan the mythical tri-state collegiate pennant.

After a decisive victory over John Carroll University in an inter-sectional contest played in Cleveland, )hio, Wesleyan was ranked among the fourth ten of all collegiate football elevens in the country. Wesleyan was classed with Alabama and Nebraska. To Coach Higgins belongs no little praise for the upward climb of Wesleyan footba ll. Starting the season with a squad made up largely of first year men, Wesleyan surprised its most ardent supporters. The team im- proved as the season progressed, with the plan of building for the future, always placed ahead of risking all to win any single game. Consequently Wesleyan has. for the first time in the history of the school, a strong athletic system built upon a sound foundation.

Murmurmonlis, Nineteen Twenty-Five r H - Wesleyan Basketball HE 1924 basketball season is now history. Starting with a squad of new material, Coach kelcel Ross surprised his most ardent followers by winning the opening games of the schedule by overwhelming scores. This, how- ever, served to dull the spirit at mid-season when hard road trips with difficult games cost the Bob Cats several games. The early success had sharpened anticipation. Out ot the darkest hour ot the season, a season trailing a series of years when state championship pennants waved from the Wesleyan strong- hold, came the Wesleyan victory over Marietta at .Marietta. This was followed hv a remarkable victory over Carnegie Tech at Pittsburg, and the season closed in a blaze ot glorj when Salem and Davis Elkins were decisively defeated. The team loses but cue man this year, but this loss is a serious blow to Wes- leyan basketball. Captain John Knight closed his collegiate basketball career on March 12, when, playing the greatest game ot bis lite, be placed the Bob Cat banner high for his successor to carry forward according to Wesleyan traditions. Columns could be written on the stirring events of the season just closed. More could be said for the glory of the players, but all would add nothing to tin- realities of the situation. Wesleyan closed a successful season, just one stone in the plans tor future seasons. The men who packed away their uniforms a tew weeks ago have not started to play basketball yet like thej will play in another season. If a first year team can accomplish in one year what Wesleyan has in the past year, one needs not to be a prophet to see promise ahead.

Last year the Girls ' Wes- leyan baskethall team won the state girls ' collegiate title of West Virginia, and re- tained the title again this year after several brilliant victories. A field hockey team has been formed but, owing to the fact that no other college in West Virginia has de- veloped this sport, intercollegiate contests are impossible. The hockey team met inter- class teams in a series of games, popularizing the sport at Wesleyan. With physical education a requisite for graduation at Wesleyan, indoor gymnastics and games have served to make highly interesting and instructive the work of the department under Miss Nason ' s supervision.

Ltv kcioA H6V t; ' WViixs xYrfl w n-) Murmurmonlis, Nineteen Twenty-Five From the Sophomore s Viewpoint B Mary Sv.mxer HE Sophomore was wise, very wise. Even in his Freshman year, he was wise. There was the time when he had been calling on some girls, and one of them had told him that an upper classman was standing outside and waiting to get his name when he came out to report to the sheriff of Freshman Court. He had gone out the back door, around the square, passed the upper classman, and gone home to bed, leaving him still stand- ing there watching the house which he thought contained a Freshman who was violating the rules the upper classman had passed for the Fresh- man Class, by having a date, and was thus eligible for punishment. But all that was before he met The Fair One. After that, things were different. The Fair One was good to look upon ; no one was more conscious of that than The Sophomore. Since the first time he had seen her blue eyes and golden hair, other girls had not mattered in the least. She was different, somehow. He could talk to other girls, an dcould ask them if he might come around and study math with them as well as anyone ; but with The Fair One, he could only worship from afar. All through Freshman year he had tried to sum up courage to speak to her, but what right has a poor, degraded Freshie to speak to one a whole class ahead of him, and especially to such as The Fair One? But now that he was a proud and honored Sophomore, and, since he had, that very morning, received an encouraging smile from her as she passed him on her way to English class, he determined that he would wait no longer; he would ask her to go to the Sophomore banquet with him the next week. The following day he was in front of the English building fully half an hour before time for class, waiting for her; but when he really saw her coming, he could only gasp — and let her pass. All that day he followed her and tried to speak, but each time it seemed harder than before. He decided to buy the tickets first and then ask her to go. It would be much easier to say: Wouldn ' t you like to go to the banquet next week? I have a couple of tickets, if you would. So he bought the tickets. That week passed and the next was well on its way, and still he had not asked the momentous question. The tickets were rather worn by this time from being carried in his pocket all week, and from being carefully inspected every night to see that there was no mistake. Every day he resolved that he would do it, but, somehow. The Fair One always took his breath away. At last came the day before the banquet, his last opportunity, and still he could not ask her. Finally, he decided to confide his troubles to The Freshman, his room-mate. 156 Rliltlffl 111 :n tnjp iffi 5 — — - = — . ; 11 11 Murmurmonlis, Nineteen Twenty-Five . m. L The Freshman and he were great friends. The Sophomore was very benevolent. He did not believe in reporting The Freshman, and he often told The Freshman how- he considered the special activity of his classmates that year, in carrying little note- hooks for the express purpose of writing down the names of poor, unfortunate Fresh- ies, beneath the dignity of the Sophomore Class. On this, he and The Freshmen agreed perfectly. So that night he told The Freshman about The Fair One and his trouble. The Freshman did not know The Fair One, and was inclined to make light of the whole affair and of girls in general. This gave the Sophomore an idea. You don ' t know her, so you won ' t mind! Ask her for me, there ' s a good fellow, and Fll buy you a ticket to that good movie you wanted to see tomorrow night. The Freshman was obliging, and The Sophomore had been good to him. Besides, the picture for the next evening was one he had, for a long time, wanted to see, and it was expensive, so he readily consented. The next morning they both waited outside the English building until they saw her coming, and The Sophomore pointed her out — then fled. Hut all The Freshman ' s pleas proved unavailing for, as he told The Sopho- more that evening, she hail a test the next day, and must study. The Sophomore did not go to the banquet that night. He didn ' t want to go with- out a girl when all the other fellows would have one, and he didn ' t want to ask any except The Fair One. He studied until rather late, then growing lonely (The Fresh- man had claimed and used the theatre ticket, saying that he had done his best), he decided to go for a walk. Half unconsciously his steps took the direction of The Fair One ' s home. He overtook a Junior going in the same direction, and they walked along together. The Sophomore smiled good-naturedly as they passed several couples of Freshmen, taking advantage of this night when their arch-enemy, the Sophomore Class, was eating, drinking and making merry, by enjoying the movies together. Suddenly he stopped and stared closely at a couple on the opposite side of the street. He could not mistake that coat or the bold confidant air. It was The Fresh- man, and smiling up into his eves, as she talked to him, was The Fair One. Then something happened to The Sophomore. Suddenly he seized his companion by the arm, hurried him across the street, and asked if he recognized the couple. Slowly he drew out his watch and noted the time, took from his pocket a pencil and the only piece of paper he could find, to note the name and time. He turned the paper over to the light. It was a ticket to the Sophomore banquet. •57 Murmurmonlis, Nineteen Twenty-Five 0 ha N(vow R . o(} Murmurmonlis, Nineteen Twenly-Five WLJM In the Library Have I the time to sit And gaze through panes of glass At autumn glories and the mass Of color on the scalloped hills?

Murmurmontis, Nineteen Twenty-Five The Annual Faculty Reception HE annual reception given by the faculty is always one of Wesleyan ' s outstanding social features, and 1923 was no exception. The student body, who had begun to think that the faculty members were interested only in the amount of work they were giving out, was agreeably sur- prised when announcement was made in chapel that the faculty would entertain with a Hallowe ' en party Monday evening, October 29. On that day the faculty members were out in full strength. Perhaps no other group in Wesleyan has ever gone into a thing more enthusiastical- ly than did the members of the faculty in preparation for this event. The large auditorium of the gymnasium was transformed into a veritable fairy- land. The guests began arriving about eight o ' clock and before long it was ap- parent that one of the largest crowds of the year would be in attendance. Nearly all present were masked and the variety of costumes was very great. Miss Marple as a Christmas tree; Fiddle Harper as a gladiator; Dean Haught as a colonial bishop, and Kelcel Ross as George Washington were splendid portrayals. The sensa- tion of the evening was caused by the arrival of Spark Plug, led by his faithful master, Harney Google, alias Vincent Johns, and ridden by Lil Sunshine, alias Thomas Heming. Autumn leaves, cornstalks, black cats and witches ' tents soon led one into the land of witches and fairies. The witches ' caldron, from which cider flowed freely, was a popular resort for thirsty folk during the evening. After the grand march the audi- ence was seated and a highly entertaining program was rendered. Professor Rowe, dressed as a Turk, created an atmosphere with his violin which gave inspiration to that part of the program which followed. Professors Little and Fishpaugh, in keep- ing with the evening, told weird ghost stories which greatly delighted the listeners. The latter part of the program consisted of a variety of comedy acts, starring Professors Le Tellier and Green. Le Tellier kept the audience in an uproar by his antics as a negro comedian. The action centered on some of the original contents of King Tut ' s tomb ; namely. King Tuts mummy, a cat, a dog, and a chicken. Life was still present in the last three, and after an extended experiment King Tut was restored to life. The negro caused much merriment when he attempted, after putting on roller-skates, to catch the chicken. With that efficiency which is peculiar to the colored race he finally succeeded in capturing the fowl. A loud explosion followed his entrance into the compartment in which the contents of the tomb had been shipped, after which the negro came forth eating a leg of the chicken. Following this, the prizes of the evening were given to Miss Trunick, as an angel, for having the prettiest costume, and to Howard Jamison and Eugene Modlin, as Spark Plug, for having the most clever costume. At the conclusion of the program all were invited to the dining room of the gymna- sium, where a menu consisting of pumpkin pie, apples, and all-day suckers was served. At a late hour the guests departed, having voted the eve ning a delightful success, with a new sense of appreciation for every member of the college faculty. 160 Murmurmonlis, Nineteen Twenty-Five m Jok es Patterson: Hoys, I ' ve got a new- song, ' The Old Oaken Bucket.

He looked for the window and, on finding it. tried to raise it, but found that it would not move an inch. Then he knocked the glass out, and after doing this he went to bed in peace and slept soundl) until morning. But the next day Mr. Tenny found that he had smashed the glass out of a bookcase.
