Not an imperishable work of lit- erature, for that was not our desire. But if, sometime in the lull of the busy years that are ahead, when sitting around a cheery fire with loved ones, you become pensive and wander back to the campus, and reaching up, remove this timewom volume from its repose, slowly turning the pages, live again those happy college days; if then, this book brings back a recollection dimmed with years, and flick- ering firelight reveals a smile ever so faint, then indeed it is not in vain that these memories have been given you. The Staff. Dedication To Our Mothers and Fathers Who are so dear to us and have been, through their boundless love, their incomparable companionship, their untiring devotion and sacrifice for us, a constant inspiration for the best that life holds in store, we ded- icate this volume of the MuRMUR- MONT1S as a token of our apprecia- tion and love.

Here we have a girl whom the whole school looks up to anil admires — a hard worker who has divided well her time between studies and college activities. If at first you don ' t suc- ceed, try, try again — that seems to he her motto, and in her years of college work it has, by no means brought her failure. Per- severance is no mean personal quality, and it goes far toward achieving success. Trix can carry off the honors in her classes if she wishes, and we find that as well as excelling in books, she excels in athletics, dramatii and oratory. SEWARD REESE, A.B. BUCK1IANNOX, WEST VA.

Cot is witty, and an ever welcome addition to any social group. lie has just enough wit to make his words effective, and at the same time he shows depths of thought, and knowledge of books. His brilliancy of intellect is well set off by a fund of good common horse sense. Cot is indeed still and quiet, deeper than you may think. 39 MURMURMONTIS, 1927 SENIORS W. FRANK JACK PENNSBORO.

He has established himself as one of the best students to be found on the campus, and as for Business Administration, just look around and try to find somebody who knows more about it than Frank, Naturally, he will do big things and be a success in whatever he undertakes. MARY ESTHER McWHORTER, B.S. BUCKHANNON, WEST VA. Secretary of Clas Sirniii Delta Chi, A.; Excelsior. The fine art of making friends, and not ene- mies, is more than accomplishment — it is inborn individuality What was Mary Esther intended for any- way? It certainly is difficult to determine. Wherever she is, she fits in exactly. She is capable of accomplishing much. Probably it is her ability to get others to do, quite as much as her own doing, that brings her such great success and popularity in whatever kind of work she undertakes. Her eager enthusiasm and cheerful disposition have won her a per- manent place in the hearts of all. MURMURMONTIS, SENIORS FAY LOUISE THOMAS, A.B. BUCKHANN ' ON, WEST VA. Chresto; Girls A.

Instructors never realize what they are missing when they fail to take advantage of Louise ' s (ohiter diet urns) on their lectures. Louise can resuscitate a dead lecture with her individual comments (sotto voce) and her personal observations (stage whispers) from the hack of a lecture room. Popular sports- women are rare. But, after all ; so are Lou- ises. What her ambition is, probablv hut few know. Everyone, however, is sure that she has an ambition, and is equally sure that, with her steadfastness and sincerity, she can attain her goal. JOHN H. MOORE, A.B. CONNELLSVILLE, PA.

Shortly after John entered College, the fact that he was among the ablest men in his class was discovered, and unceasingly, since his Freshman year, has he been one of the main- stays of the class of ' 26. He has, in a most admirable fashion, borne the many honorable and responsible positions with which his fel- low-student., have entrusted him. He has dis- played those characteristics of real worth which are truly his, by the laudable manner in which he has so wisely lived his college life. It has been a priceless privilege for us to have known John as a classmate and friend; and we bid you farewell, with the knowl- edge that Wesleyan ' s loss is the world ' s gain.

You ' ll have to hand it to Soupy when it comes to anything pertaining to Chemistry and we are looking for him to startle the world in the line of that science. He is the one we all go to when our Chemistry seems impossible, and, strange to say, when he gets through with us, we know more about the subject than we had thought was in it.

Worth, courage, honor, these indeed Your sustenance and birthright are. When a young man dabbles in verse, it is mighty suspicious; when he commences to heave sighs, those suspicions are confirmed.

We venture that there will be some lucky chap who will rope her in and utilize this splendid accomplishment. EDWARD CHARLES TRAINER, A.B. PARKERSBURG, WEST VA. Varsity Football, Varsity Club.

Realizing that for the play to be a success, those who appear in rhe performance should act their parts with the best grace possible; he has worked ear- nestly, diligently, and faithfully for the suc- cess of the drama.

With an inventive mind, in- genious heart, and ready hand, he is thus equipped for the whole of life. The height of his ambition is to clear the field in mathe- matics.

Cheerful and witty, constant and serious, with strong convictions that we have seen deepening during the last year, she has won her way into our lives. Though she, too, makes mistakes and becomes despondent at times, no student at Wesley an has a more broad and optimistic outlook on life than she.

To contribute to her success, Betty has an en- gaging manner, social poise, and a frank friendliness which presage for her the com- plete fulfillment of her high ambitions. The one thing that puzzles us in her makeup is her astounding modesty. It seems impossible that Betty will not achieve a ' l the great laurels which her friends are wishing for her. JUSTUS A.

VIRGINIA MARTIN, A.B. BUCKHANNON, WEST VA. Sigma Delta Chi: Y. W. ' . A Earnest and steady endeavor will some day receive its rezi-ard. It is truly a gift of fortune to possess a sense of appropriateness which enables one always to speak or act in strict accordance with the requirements of the particular occasion. Vir- ginia possesses such an attribute, and we sup- pose that is the reason we have become accus- tomed to look upon her as a sort of oracle. One must know Virginia in order to appreciate her for she is rather quiet and reserved. We sincerely wish her a successful career in the broader school of life.

The feeling of fair play and good clean sportsmanship which he in- spires among his teammates is hard to express.

W. C. A. The Y. W. C. A. supplies, in a large measure, the spiritual side of the girl ' s lite while at Wesleyan. It gives an opportunity for many girls to gather once a week and discuss among themselves topics of national and universal interest. The past year has been very successful, financial drives have had fine results and this organization hopes to have just as successful a future. OFFICERS Ik inces Saunders . N XI UIE SlMMERMAN . .

The friendships are more firmly established by having the mid-week meeting which is held on Thurs- day evening of each week.

March 11 April iq MURMURMONTIS, 1927 MUFMURMONTIS, Student Council CHE Student Representative Council was organized in the year 1922-23. Dur- ing the tour years of its existence the Council, with the co-operation of the faculty and student body, has achieved success. In the fall of ' 23 an honor system was adopted and this year a committee has been working on a revision of the honor system to make it more efficient. Last year a service stand was introduced for the selling of confections and the profits to be used in interest of the student body. This year the money was spent to send a delegate to the Inter-Collegiate World Court Conference and also for sending flowers to members of the student body in case of illness or death. Members of the Council working with the faculty have revised the Freshman rules which will more completely meet with the satisfaction of the student body. They have also made for the second year the publication of the Wesleyan hand hook. Although the Council here-to-fore has transacted merely business for the student body, they have laid a strong foundation for future participation in more difficult problems.

Since that time the membership has grown, and much worth-while work has been done. Under the direction of Miss Little various plays have been presented with no little degree of success. New equipment and a procenium drop have been purchased by the Players. At the meetings, which are held every other week, a modern play is reviewed and discussed, reports and criticisms are given also. It is the purpose of the club to pro- mote dramatic:, at Wesleyan. The membership is of two kinds, active and honorary. The requirements for membership are: Recommendation by the director; a credit- able performance in two plays under the direction of a player; duty of stage director or when a student has written a one-act play which has been performed under the direction of a player.

The highest standards in strictly literary pursuits are sponsored and an attempt is made to formulate and direct the literary judgment of its members. Its membership is limited to sixteen active members. The program of the club is not to formalize the proceedings of its meetings, but by meeting the current and overgrowing varied literary trend through readings and reviews of the drama, poetry, fiction and non- fiction, and by an increased acquaintance with the accepted classics, to create a literary appreciation that shall be permanently enjoyable and beneficial.

During the six years since it was organized it lias grown in purpose, size and work. For several years the Ring has taken an industrial trip in the spring to Clarksburg or some other point of interest. This spring most of the members went to Weston and spent a half day in the glass plant there. Another trip is being planned for later in the spring. These trips are always interesting and much of practical worth is learned by those who take them. A new departure was made this year in the program of the Ring. An open meeting was held in the College auditorium and all students and towns people who were interested were invited. Many chemical anil physical phenomena were illustrated and explained. The meeting was both humorous and instructive. Following a custom started some years ago the Benzene Ring invited a scientist from some other part of the state to speak to them. Dr. Clark, head of the Department of Chemistry at W. V. [ . was chosen and he spoke on the subject of The Future of Chemistry in West Virginia. There is so much interest in the Ring at present that an even brighter future is predicted for it. Too much cannot be said of the help that Professor Hyma has given to the Ring. He has taken an active interest since its organization and we feel that the growth and success of the Benzene Ring have been largely due to his efforts for its improvement.

Taking over the news-gathering system of last year has made this year ' s work easier. The change in style of the paper adopted by the staff in the middle of the year meant an increase in news space which made it possible to chronicle all news events of any note. The interest of the staff has been high. Six delegates represented Wesleyan at the annual Intercollegiate Press Association meeting held at Broaddus College, two of which received 1 state offices. The Business department has put the organization on a sound financial basis. Besides the new plan of collecting subscriptions from each student at the time he pays his tuition, a large Alumni circulation was built up. A deficit was wiped out, and a neat sum left in the treasury for the next year ' s staff. Editorial Staff Eugene Modlin Editor in-C iie} Thomas D. Heming Associate Editor Raymond C.

In addition to a mere orchestra there has been formed an Orchestra Club. In previous years, attempts in this department of musical activity have failed because of a lack of real interest. To remedy and stabilize conditions, this club has been formed. By doing this we hope to have made the founda- tions of a permanent organization and at the same time one which will equal or head all other organizations here.

It was or- ganized that the students who have chosen the ministry tor their life work may he better pre- pared for the task and may aid each other in deepening their own spiritual lives. Meetings are held on every Tuesday afternoon, at which time addresses are given by prominent preachers. Occasionally the members have an open discussion in which the various problems that arise in the ministry are considered. The responsibilities have rested heavily upon some of these students, there being six who are serving as pastors of charges in Upshur and Lewis counties. Revival meetings which they have held have resulted in approximately 150 conversions and renewals, with other meetings yet to follow. These young ministers are untiring in their zeal to extend the Master ' s Kingdom in the earth.

Ward Lanham, Burrell Long (deceased) and Leslie Brooks wire appointed as a committee to draft a constitution tor the W Association. On April 18, 1911, the first officers were elected as follows: President, Ward Lanham; vice-president, John Kellison; secretary. Late B. Davisson; treasurer, George Fierce. The organization flourished for a time, but after the organizers left school the movement apparently died and the letter men ' s organization ceased to function for several years. In 1920 the need for an organization for the athletic letter men was again felt. A meeting was called and Albert Krushank was made president : Dick Thompson, vice-president ; Abe Upton, sec- retary; Hale Pauley, treasurer, and James Johnson, marshal. The name was changed from the W Association to the Wesleyan Varsity Club, and a new constitution was adopted. A club room was provided the organization in the gymnasium. Since 1920 the organization has progressed. The club room now contains pictures of athletic teams in all sports covering a number ot years, trophies; cauptured battle flags from gridiron, bas- ketball Boor and diamond; records of teams of past years in the different sports; pictures of out- standing athletes; records of many important contests, filed away with the original press accounts, and other interesting and valuable information relative to Wesleyan athletics. The club room is handsomely furnished ami rrvcv as a lounging room for students of the college. Old grads re- turning to Wesleyan Hud the room particularly interesting. Nearly one thousand have won the Wesleyan varsity W in one form of sport or the other at Wesleyan College in the past thirty-six years. Out of this large number, however, not over one hundred names have ever been on the rolls of the Varsity Club at one time. Several efforts have been made to get in touch with old letter men, but the lack of a source of corrected addresses made the work difficult, and results obtained from the various attempts were usually discouraging. The interest has been carried along, however, from year to year, until the membership i - steadibj growing with here and there a new member being added every year. It is hoped to at some time in the not far distant future get in touch with every Wesleyan Varsity man living, and once this contact is established, hold it.

IV. K kppa Phi Omega. Y. Sigma Eta Delta. MURMURMONTIS, 1927 MURMURMONTIS, L Chi Alpha Tau ' HE Chi Alpha Tau Club was organized November 26, 1923, and was composed of four charter members. John 0. Little was the rirst president. It was designed to provide some of the atmosphere arid influence of home, and also social advantages which would otherwise be lacking. During the first year four new members were initiated, making a total of eight in the club. Upon returning the following year, it was found that only four of the members remained to take up the activities of the Club. After taking in a tew new members a house was rented to enable the Club members to live in closer relationship. Because of the ban on fraternities in Wesleyan and the similarity between the Club and a fraternity, the faculty asked the X A T Club to disband at the close of the school year. Before the end of the year, however, the Board t Trustees lifted the ban on fraternities, so the Club continued to function. At the opening of this school year the Club was given permission to organize as the first local fraternity on Weslevan ' s campus. The location was then changed to more spacious quarters on Barbour Street. Since its organization, the fraternity has sponsored social events of various kinds which have tended to develop pleasant relationships among the student--, and to make schnnl life nmre enjo - able, Hue to the hearty co-operatum of the members, and friends of Chi Alpha Tau, the organiza- tion has prospered and has a bright outlook for the future.

Although this group was not officially recognized as a sorority it functioned as such, and was the first of its kind on the campus. From the beginning of this organization Professor Mildred Little was adviser to this group, giving her aid, and loyally upholding them in their undertaking. In February, 1926, the Sigma Delta Chi was recognized as a local sorority. Dur- ing this year fourteen new members were initiated, making a total of thirty members. Many social affairs were given by the sorority, and elaborate plans were made for the formal ball — the date being April 26, 1926. The Sigma Delta Chi Sorority desires to uphold the ideals of Wesleyan College in the future, as they have in the past.

Today, the Alpha Gamma Phi Fraternity, the result of the deliberations of that small group of last October, is a going concern, comfortably located in the old Forman Hospital Building, 49 Florida Street. Especially fortunate is the fraternity in having for its house mother Mrs. Maude Mick. With her acceptance of this position, an institution of some thirteen years ' standing, namely, the Meade Street Beanery, which she had been maintaining, went out of business. Professor Nicholas Hyma, as fraternity host and adviser, has been responsible in no small degree for the develop- ment of the sound brotherly spirit pervading the atmosphere of the Fraternity residence. Mrs. Fred L. Williams, town mother, has added many dainty motherly touches in furnishing the interior of the building. On Saturday evening, March 13, the Alpha Gamma Phi reception was held, attended by about one hundred and seventy-five Wesleyan friends. After a brief musical program made particularly charming through the medium of Professor Sorton who played several violin selec- tions, the company under the guidance of the fraternity members, inspected the residence. Light refreshments were served. The affair was declared by many a great success. The colors of the fraternity are maize and blue, symbolizing worth ami loyalty. Active Members Arthur H.

Looking back a few years into the gloom ed Wesleyan ' s athletics, one sees the path leading out paved with uccess hewn out by undying Wesleyan enthusiasm, optimism earnest effort and loyal co-operation. Two years ago the prophecy was made that Wes- leyan people would gaze back upon the years of 1924 and 1925 and point to these as landmarks in Wesleyan ' s athletic progress. That prophecy has been fulfilled, and more than fulfilled, for another great year has been added. Wesleyan ' s success during the past year has been genuine Wesleyan success. Our teams have been coached by Wesleyan-eoachcd coaches ; our victories have been Wes- leyan victories. Success inspires optimism, and one cannot but see a bright future for Wesleyan in 1926 and 1927, after recalling the achievements of the past year. In football Wesleyan carried it Hag further abroad nationally, chiefly by conquer- ing Boston College in Boston. At the same time the time-honored prestige in West Virginia was successfully upheld against the covetous ambitions of old and powerful rivals. 1 11 basketball Wesleyan won back the state collegiate championship lost three years ago, against greater odds than have ever heretofore been encountered. In baseball and tennis Wesleyan has gained ground, and planned for seasons to come. An intramural athletic program has been developed, furnishing ample opportunity for every student attending Wesleyan to take part in the various forms of athletics, in addition to the regular work in physical education. Adhering strictly to the high standards upon which the present athletic system was founded; making athletic standards second only to scholastic standards and co-operat- ing whole-heartedly with other departments of the institution, makes athletics worth while at Wesleyan and mean more to those who participate. In the success of Wesleyan athletics, is well reflected the consistent progress being made by Wesleyan College in all of its departments. Each new achievement forms a landmark along the road of progress. The achievements of the 1925-1926 seasons make landmarks of which Wesleyan can well be proud. Wesleyan can, must and will carry on, in athletics as in other things, always toward the higher and the best. MURMURMONTIS, 1927 1 Cecil B. Ross Head Coach of All Sports Carl V.

The game was ■ J hard-fought throughout, but in -pile of the terrific heat and the powerful opposition, Wesleyan could not he denied. Wesleyan held the advantage all through the game, and in the final period, following a concentrated drive Weihl ripped his way through the Yellow Jacket line for a touchdown. It was Coach Ross ' s first collegiate game and although hard-fought, was a well-deserved victory. Broaddus College came to Buckhannon the following Friday for the annual game. On a field covered with mud Wesleyan met a name team offering stubborn opposition, but won handily, 18-0. Weird ' s 69-yard run for touchdown was the feature of the game. This game ushered in the gridiron season which will go down in football history as the year of mud. In a driving rain the following Friday in Clarksburg, Wesleyan met and defeated Salem College 13-0. The game was played in a sea of mud. Salem failed to make a single hist down and fumbles at critical times caused Wesleyan to lose several chances to score. Garrity and Weihl scored the touchdowns on straight line play. The following Saturday Wesleyan met it- first defeat of the season at the hands of the powerful Lehigh University eleven. Lehigh scored early in the first quarter with a field goal. Wesleyan had considerable success against Lehigh and appeared the winner of the game through- out the contest. The Methodist-, however, failed to take advantage of several hard-earned opportunities to score and lost, 3-0. West Virginia University mastered Wesleyan for the sixth consecutive season the following Saturday at Morgantown, 16-0. Wesleyan held a decided advantage at the opening of the game, carrying the hall to the Mountaineer ' s one-yard line, but failed to take it over, Alvis then blocked Barnum ' s punt and Bullington hopped on the ball behind the West Virginia goal line, but the referee ruled that Wesleyan was offside. This break seemed to dishearten Wesleyan, and aside from putting up a desperate defensive hattle, the laurels went to the Mountaineers. Dame Fortune was kind, but when she smiled, WesJevan became bewildered. Few better teams than West Virginia flitted across the gridiron horizon last year. On the afternoon of October 31, Wesleyan and Davis-Elkins met at College Field, Muck hannon. The Splinter Stadium was packed. After the Scarlet Hurricane had held Wt-i Virginia to a 6-0 verdict, the belief was abroad that D. E. would conquer Weslevan. This would have forced Wesleyan into third place in the state, a position the Bob Cats have been forced into but once in twenty-two years. With the exception of the field, the day was ideal lor football. The air was charged with expectancy, when the two rival eleven- came on the field. Living up to advance notice the Davis Elkins Hurricane swept the Orange and Black down the field ahead of them during the first few minutes of play. At the 27-yard line Wesleyan made its last stand. Davis Elkins nr no other team that day could have gained an inch. The Hurricane kicked a field goal and led ;-o. Wesleyan came back with a punch. Into the line for a first down, and then to the air for another and and Wesleyan was at mid-field. Then came a master stroke of football — Cebe Ross ' s now famous triple lateral pass, Weihl to Reiter to Garrity. With perfect interference, Irish Gar- rity galloped to the two-yard line. On the next play Kraus -mashed through left tackle for touch- down. The scoring for the day was over. Wesleyan had quieted the Hurricane 6-3. The following Saturday saw Wesleyan ' s battered eleven in Baltimore, plaving the Quantico Marines. On a quagmire gridiron, with rain falling, no color, no collegiate rivalrv, outweighed and out of their class, Wesleyan nevertheless fought gallantly and gave the Devil Dogs trouble in winning 12-0. The close of the season came at Boston when Wesleyan defeated Boston College 7-6 in a thrill- ing contest. The t « teams, much to the surprise of the east, battled on even terms throughout the first quarter. In the second, after playing brilliantly, Boston scored on a long forward pass. Wes- leyan blocked the kick for a goal. At the half Boston led 6-0. In the third period Wesleyan opened up and held a big advantage but failed to score. Not disheartened the West Virginians fought on into the closing quarter. On another famous Ro-s play, a forward and lateral com- bination. King to Alvis to Weihl, the latter went to the 27-yard line. The drive was never halted. Kraus scored the touchdown that tied the score, and Brownie Corcoran kicked the goal that won the game. MURMURMONTIS, 1927 MURMURMONTIS, 1927 (L__ The following morning when Coach Toss ami his victorious Bob Cats ate breakfast at the Pennsylvania Hotel in New York, it was with a well-earned smile of satisfaction that the team read in the New York Times, Dartmouth, West Virginia Wesleyan and Harvard Victorious. The recognition was deserved.

Starting out very impressively, Wes- leyan gave the state its first upset by defeating West Virginia University at Morgan- town 35-33 in a thrilling extra-period game. This gave Wesleyan its first notice of the season, among the non-conference teams of the tri-state district. The close of the season furnished West Virginia one surprise after another and ended in a championship series with the powerful Davis and Elkins College five, undefeated by a West Virginia team in two vears. Wesleyan lost the opening game of the series to her old rivals in I Ikins 25-13. The cause against the powerful Hurricane seemed hopeless. A week later the two teams met for the second game of the series on a neutral floor at Clarksburg. ScarceK a soul in the state, outside the Wesleyan team, expected Wesleyan to have a chance to win. In the final seconds of play, however, after out-fighting and out-playing their rivals all the way, Wesleyan won, 31-30. Many declared the result to be an accident, and despite the result of the second game, Weslevan had few followers outside its own loyal adherents who believed the smaller and lighter Bob Cat five had a chance to take the third game. This contest was played on the eve of the opening of the thirteenth annual state high school basketball tournament, and friends and foes from all parts of the state were on hand to witness the game. It was a rare championship battle. Weslevan took the lead, but Davis and Elkins soon evened the count, and a thrilling race was on. At the half-way mark Davis and Elkins was leading 19-14- Returning to the game Wes- leyan seemed possessed with that traditional fighting spirit that for twenty odd years has made Weslevan athletic teams famous. The score was tied and Wesleyan forged to the front. Davis and Elkins was not being out-played, but was clearly out-fought. With but a few minutes to plav the Hurricane in a last desperate rally tied the score at 26 all. The fighting Bobcats, however, were not to be denied. McClung tossed the basket a second later that untied the score, and just before the timer ' s pistol cracked sent another basket through the hoop for good measure. The victory, which carried the state title with it, was most impressive. Captain Weihl and Kraus at guard proved themselves to be two of the best in the tri-state district. Later Kraus was moved to center, Corcoran taking the guard and plaving the position in stellar fashion the rest of the season. The forwards, McClung, Brinkman, Reiter and McCor- mick, took turns starring during the season. Anderson at center also came in for his share of the laurels. It was Anderson and Brinkman who defeated D. and E. in the second game, Reiter who tossed the basket that conquered West Virginia, and McClung who took the title event with his spectacular play. McClung was high scorer of the season with Brinkman a close second. The team played together well throughout the year and showed the results of splendid coaching.

A •..■ • m ► I « - « 166 MURMURMONTIS, 1927 Baseball, 1925 CUE 1925 baseball record shows that Wesleyan again placed a strong diamond team in the field, although but five games were won of the thirteen played. Two games were played with the Clarksburg club of the Mid-Atlantic League, games that Wesleyan had no chance to win. This makes the Bobcat diamond record nearly balance. Owing to the scarcity of schools in the tri-state district supporting baseball schedules, it is growing more difficult every year. To complete a schedule part must contain a long road trip and few teams are at their best when on long road jaunts in any sport. The high spot of the season came in the final Wesleyan-West Virginia game when for eight innings Link DeLong, veteran Wesleyan pitcher, hurled a no hit-no run game. In this inning, however, Hawley of West Virginia singled, the ball was lost momentarily in the tall grass that was not cut in a portion of the right field, and the confusion that followed permitted the single to be stretched into a home run with two men on the paths ahead also scoring.

This excellent cheering is largely due to the efforts of Bill O ' Brien, who has been our cheer leader for three years. We certainly will miss Bill next year and it is verv doubt- ful whether we can find another to lead the cheering as well as he has done it for the past three years. He has been helped in a very tine manner this year by the two assistant cheer leaders, Martin Stauffer and Bill Young. MURMURMONTIS, 1927 ennis, 1925 For two seasons tennis has been a major sport at Wesleyan. Through the work of Jess Hall it was placed on the list of major sports, and all indications are that it will remain, for it is growing in popularity. Eugene Modlin was elected captain and manager for 1925. He arranged eight matches, of which the two with West Virginia University had to be dropped. Matches were won from the Clarksburg Tennis Club and Potomac State College; one match with the Clarksburg Tennis Club was tied, and matches were lost to Carnegie, Du- quesne and Pitt. The team was composed of the following men: Daniel F. Westfall, less Hall, Eugene Modlin, Fred Haught, Gilbert Dudderar, John Coburn. The schedule of 1926 as completed to date contains matches with Pitt, Duquesne Michigan Aggies and ' Wheeling Tennis Club. 168 MURMURMONTIS, 1927 A Toast to the Departing Veterans Here ' s to Irish, Jeff, King and Chick, Dutch, John Moore, Trainer ami Nick; As your sunset comes in the gridiron west, None stop to reason which man is best. The victories won were not won by one — Not because some man was best. Victories came that brought on fame. When each fought lor the rest. Here is the wish of a thousand friends, Who are playing today where the gridiron ends; That you ' ll each go out from the chalk-lined world, With banners of unselfishness unfurled, And, meeting men in all kinds of weather, remember — That success comes only when men work together. if 9 MURMURMONTIS, 1927 =J Girls Athletics The Girls ' Athletic Association under the direction of Miss Nason has always been a vital factor in the life of the school. Too much praise can not be given to Miss Nason when we consider the untiring manner with which she has worked with the organization. It has been through her efforts that class basketball has popularized at Wesleyan. Miss Nason has developed a keen interest in track and outdoor baseball. Much progress has been attained also in the furthering of hockey. The department under her guidance is advancing rapidly. 170 MURMURMONTIS, 1927 Girls Basketball Virginia Caudy Ax ms Ross Martha McIntire Ethel Wolfe Florence Holt Helex Lacock Grace VanCamp The scheduling of games for the girls ' team this year was impos- sible. However, the girls enjoyed a splendid season participating in class basketball. At the end of the season an honorary varsity was chosen. It is hoped that there will be as much progress in the girl ' s department next year as has been made this year. MURMURMONTIS, 1927 £A . MURMURMONTIS, 1927 Intramural Athletics MK spring of 1925 saw the introduction of a program of intramural sports into Wes- m C leyan. The first program was more or less of an experiment. It included inter-class L J baseball and a track and field day. Several games of baseball were played, the ■ Sophomore class coming out on top with all victories and no defeats. In the track meet Frank Jack carried off top honors with 26J 2 points. Tyson Kishbaugh and Martin Stauffer ran a tie for second place with ( points each. To the winner of each event an orange ribbon was given as a trophy. A tennis tournament was held with Bruce Reppert as manager. John McCans won the tournament, having played Harry Wolfe in the finals. In the fall of 1925 three basketball leagues were organized. These were: A major inter- clas s league for men, a minor league of Wesleyan organizations, and a girl ' s inter-class league. In the major league the Freshmen, after a season in which they had competition all the way, came through without a single defeat. The final standing was as follows: Won Freshmen 9 Sophomores 5 Seniors 4 I uniors o ost Pert entaffi 1. 000 4 ■555 5 •444 9 .000 In the minor league the Chi Alpha Tail team ran off with honors by winning five and losing none. The other teams in the league were: The Benzene Ring, Sigma Eta Delta, Ministerial Association, Alpha Gamma Phi and Freshmen seconds. In co-operation with the Physical Education Department, swimming classes were held once a week for men and one each for advanced girl swimmers and the beginners. The experiment of intra-mural sports is proving a success and a committee composed of Prof. Nicholas Hyma, Prof. Alice Nason, E. E. Stoffel and Arthur Simons has heen appointed to advance the work and institute an efficient system, The policy calls for a gradual enlargement of the program. It is hoped that the near future will see a new athletic field devoted to this type of sport which is for the greatest good to the greatest number. MURMURMONTIS, 1927 The State High School Basketball Tournament This event, played annually under the auspices nf West Virginia Weslevan College, has come to be an athletic institution in the state. The thirteenth annual tournament was played in the college gymnasium on March 19 and 20. Thirty-two teams were entered and the class of bas- ketball played was considered the best throughout the tournament of any state floor meet held yet. Eight of the teams were winners of the championships of the eight territorial divisions of the state. These teams won their titles in the sectional tournaments played at Wheeling, Fair- mont, Clarksburg, Keyser, Philippi, Montgomery, Huntington and Athens on March 5 and 6. Eight other teams represented the runners-up of these sectional meets. In addition to these 16 teams, the two best teams then from each of the eight sections were selected by the State High School Athletic Association to fill out the 32-team entry. After two days of thrilling basketball. Elkins and Ft. Pleasant High met in the finals. Elkins, winner of the first state tournament held here in 1914, defeated Pt. Pleasant 16-12 in a real championship battle. Coach Frank Wimer of the winning team was the captain of the first state champions in 1914. The tournament as usual was well-planned and efficiently managed by a well-organized group of students, and was the usual success in every way. Cheering delegations from several high schools gave scholastic color to the large crowds that filled the gymnasium each session. Buck- hannon and Weston High Schools carried away the big cheering trophies, while William Sutter of Washington and Irving High School, won the trophy for being the best cheer leader at the tournament. The fourteenth annual state tournament will be held here next year on the same relative dates as this year. In the changing from a wide-open entry tournament to a select entry list, based on sectional tournament play, changes in the state tournament plan are possible. Both Weslevan and the State High School Athletic Association are working and co-operating whole-heartedly to make the biggest high school athletic event West Virginia has, of more and more benefit to the high schools of West Virginia, and any changes made for the coming year will be made with this end in view. wmmamm jing f MURMURMONTIS, 1927 Calend ar SEPTEMBER 15 — School opens. 1 7 — Cresto-Excelsior Reception. 2li — Eootball game.
