I second, and Wesleyan third; following with Salem and Fairmont College iir hundred twenty four Women ' s Athletics ISS NASON deserves a greal deal of credit for the progress made in the development of girls ' athletics in Wesleyan College the past year. Although there are no inter-collegiate games between the girls ol the dif- ferent colleges, the adoption ol inter-class sports for girls has created a desirable form of exercise for them, and shows the department is keeping abreast with the tendencies of modern times With the opening of the lirst semester, the Athletic Board of the Girls ' Athletic Association, composed of Florence I loll. President: Natalie Simmerman, Vice- President; Virginia Candy, Secretary and Treasurer; Annis Ross, Ethel Wolfe, .Martha Drummond, .Mildred Metheny, and Margaret Miller, met and planned the schedule lor the year ' s work. A rather kill program was decided upon, taking in basketball, tennis, track, hiking, and indoor class participation. Managers weir chosen lor each sport — Basketball manager. Annis Ross; tennis manager. Martha Mclntire; track manager, Virginia Candy; hike manager. Ethel Wolfe; indoor work, Miss Nason. Due to the fact that there was 110 inter-class basketball, all interest was centered around inter-class, non-sorority, and sororit) teams. The Chi Kappa lpha Sorority team was the onlv one winning all its games. brack was again inaugurated into the girls ' sport program, and. although it did not have an opportunity lor full development ol man) events, it did show 1h.1t the girls can develop good track with the material on hand. Such events as basketball throw, baseball throw, rolling pin throw. iclav races and dashes were keenly con- tested 1 1 is hoped that by the time the curtain drops on this year ' s season it will have been equally successful. For the first time a real hike program was arranged. The girls scoured the surrounding territory, under the able leadership of Ethel Wolfe. I he opening hike was one given in honor of all new girls. A new type of exhibition appeared on Wesleyan ' s campus when members of the girls ' physical education classes participated in a stunt day contest. The entire group was divided into two teams, the Blacks were under the direction of Man Ellen Dorsey, and the Reds under the direction of Ethel Wolfe. There were eleven events, and in all the teams were very evenly matched. The exhibition was a displav ol the work done in the gymnasium classes this semester under the direc- tion of Miss Mice Nason. in. I1n11.l1 ed twenty-five Intra-Mural Sport History |III. plan ol intra-mural sports really had its birth back in 1923 when the class teams organized and coached under varsity men, played a -.flies ol about three games each. I he Freshman basketball team under John Moore ' s tutoring, won the championship thai year In the spun;: ol 1924 the four teams again organized and the Sophomores down- ed all their opponents and again took the championship. The following year, in order to make it possible for more of the students to enter the competition, two teams from each class were organized and a classification was made making one the A teams and the second teams the I ' , team- t the end ol the season a tourna- ment was held and the Juniors were just barel) nosed out b the Seniors of that year. Then m 1926 a reorganization was made anil a committee bum of manage- ment was used having Arthur Simmons as intra-mural director and the season was a most successful one. I he number of sports was increased, including basketball. baseball, track, tennis, touch football, and indoor baseball. In the basketball or- ganization there was a major and minor league formed, the Freshmen winning the major league, while the Chi Apha I .111 won 111 the minor league 1 11 the track and field meet the honors V ere carried oil by the Senior class, and in tennis the Juniors topped all contestants I he baseball outcome was a tie between the Juniors and the Seniors This year the direction of the Intra-mural was put under the Athletic depart- ment and Assistant Coach John Moore took over the direction of the program. In the basketball league formed, seven teams weie entered A team from each of die lour college classes and one from the Chi Alpha Tau fraternit) and one from the Sigma Eta Delta fraternity was entered It looked at the first of the season that the fraternities would he the strongest but the) were nosed out 111 the finals by the Senior class lor the championship ol the school. The Seniors did not lose a game during the season And in the tournament held at the close of the season kept their record sjiotless baseball, tennis and a track and field day was the culmination ol the program lor the year I he girls as well as die boys were entered in the program of intra-mural sports and uiiiler the direction of Miss Alice Nason saw a much larger program than the preceding year The coming yeat is prospective of even a larger and more elabor- ate program. Golf and hand ball and a special field for intra-mural sjiorts is to be added. I11111.I1 ..I twcntj 1 ■ ss msm m ne hundred twenty-seven MURMURMON ST The Tournament I HE fourteenth annual state basketball tournament was held in the West Virginia Wesleyan College gymnasium on March 17. 18. and 19th, under the direction of Emmet E. Stoffel, treasurer and business manager of the college. Assistant directors were Ramus Holtz, Arthur Simons. Fred Haught and Ira .McDowell. The state remained divided, as formerly, into eight sections, each section hold- ing a tournament, from which came the winners and runners-up and two additional learns, chosen by the State Board of Appeals. The thirty-two teams placed a thirty-one game schedule over a period of three days. n Saturday afternoon no .lines were scheduled, giving the players an opportunity to rest between the semi- finals and finals. As an added attraction Coach Bill ' ' Roper, of Princeton Uni- versity, gave a er interesting talk at a mass meeting of players and spectators. From point of interest, the .names this year were tile best in the history ol the state tournament. reams representing high schools from the state sectionals were as follows Bethany Section — Wheeling, Benwood, Wellsburg, Williamstown Fairmont Section I airmont Wist side, Fairmont bast Side. SKinns- ton. Morgantov, n. I ' lulippi Section -Elkins, Sutton, Buckhannon, Richwood. Keyset Section — Keyser, Piedmont, Davis, Berkeley Springs. Concord Section Princeton, Pineville, Bluefield, Welch Clarksburg Section Washington-Irving, Wesl Milford, Pennsboro. Bridgeport. Huntington Section — Ceredo-Kenova, Logan, Huntington, Parkers- burg Montgomery Section — Mt. Mope, Spencer, Charleston, Montgomery. Fairmont West Side and Washington-Irving fought their way to the finals, Fairmont beating Benwood and Washington-Irving taking Shinnston into camp. This was the first time that either team had gone to the finals and the great rivalrj that is always presenl between these two teams was made more tense than ever with tlie state championship in sight. Both teams had wonderful support from their home towns, packing the large Wesleyan gym to the limit, file game was hard fought throughout and Fairmont was winner by the narrow margin of two points. The trophy for the best cheering delegation outside of Buckhannon went to W ashington-Irving High School from Clarksburg and the trophy for the best cheer- ing delegation at the tournament was won by Buckhannon High I he -.imrs were ably handled by Mr Kelcel Ross and Mr. Don Hamill in. hundi « -I i ' .

The code of Freshman rules as drawn up by a committee from the faculty and the Student Council in l L ' 2?-20. has been put into effect during the past year. The Freshman class is deserving of much credit for the successful management of the student service stand, which was introduced at Wesleyan a year ago, and is under the supervision of the council. The profits from the stand are used in the interest of the student bodv. The point system has also been revised during the year The Student Council has attained success in the past, and hopes to undertake more difficult and varied projects in the future which will make for the betterment of the school.

Several minor changes were made, but the same general policy has been continued. The interest of the staff has been high. There were eight delegates at the annual lnter-collegiate Press Association held at New River State College, one ol which received a state office. The Pharos received second place in the state contest. The business department has been unusually successful and the Pharos is run- ning on a sound financial basis. The Pharos has been sent to every alumni, and closer contact with the alumni has been made possible through the paper. There have been a number of special issues — the last of which was a sixteen page tabloid tournament issue.

It started with a charter membership of twelve, and since that time the club has grown to member- ship of thirty-five, including its alumni. The club was originally founded by Miss Mildred Little, and no little credit can be given her for her plays that she directed and staged during her stay as Wesleyan. This year the club is directed by Miss Alma Tress Lundman. head of the depart- ment of Expression. The requirements for the club are as follows: Recommenda- tion bv the director: a leading role in one big production; two minor or when a stu- dent has staged and directed a play. The Wesleyan Players established a pre- cedent of student productions, that is. being cast, staged, and directed by a membei of the players. The one last year being Three Wise Fools , directed by Percy Ross, and this year, Grumpy in which he also played the leading role. The plays presented this year by the Wesleyan Players were An Ideal Husband , by Oscar Wilde. The second was Grumpy . It is the custom of the organization to present three major productions during the year. I he players spend considerable mone) each year lor equipment, and the type ol plays that they present are of the best character.

President Coolidge says: He who sells an insurance polity, sells a certificate of character, an evidence of good citizens tip, an unimpeachable title to the right of self-government. The need for insurance is as old as it is universal and more urgent in hard times than in prosperous periods. The life insurance agent is his own master, controlling his own time, earning in exact proportion to his successful effort, and rinding no limit to the new applications of insurance to needs. The economic human value is now scarcely more than one-seventh protected. Do you want to engage in a dignified profession; to help serve the social order; to represent the greatest institution in the world; to choose those with whom you deal; to find business anv time and everywhere; to work for yourself and earn accordingly? Will you let us tell you more about this great business and especially con- cerning THE NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF MILWAUKEE.
