Without it a student is dull; with it life is wonderful. And so Wesleyan in her home anion}, ' the mountains train- nun tor the battles to come. And it i- to these men that we dedicate this sei tion of the Munmurmontis ; to the Athlete of West Virginia Wesleyan College; tin- hearers of the ' (range and Black ; to that brave rider of the mountain the Bobcat Football As one looked through the list of candidates for the 1928 football team, he missed many of the old stars of 1927, missed the names of men who had written their deeds in the annals of Wesleyan Athletics. Then — at the same time he found the names of some of the old veterans and some new candidates, and it is about these men that the tales of woe anil triumph are to be related. Xow read them and be proud, be proud of old West Virginia esleyan. esleyan 43 — Fairmont State College ....

And why not? The Bobcats simply administered a 43-0 defeat to the teachers, and sent them home to nurse their ills. Wesleyan from the looks of things is going to do something. WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY West Virginia University smashed its way to a 12-to-0 victory over West Virginia Wesleyan at the Mountaineer field on September the 29th. A eioud of o.slKI braved a cold, drizzling rain to watch the struggle which was marked by numerous fumbles and erratic playing. Bui it was a fight, a fight that one usually witnesses at that traditional game and Wesleyan did her share. NEW YORK UNIVERSITY When Wesleyan lost to New York University, they lost to one of the best team- in the country. And again Wesleyan aroused her Never say die spirit and -cored!! Yes, scored on New York University, the conquerors of Carnegie Tech. The little lighting, snarling Bob tat team was indeed proud of the 26-to-7 score. CONCORD STATE COLLEGE won ! ! The sting of defeat could not last, and the Wesleyan Bob Cat stalked forth licking his chops . A mangled Mountain Lion of Concord State College lay back in the somewhere, nursing the wounds of its 18-0 defeat. Ninety-five Ninety-six It was a maddened Bob fat seeking revenge that downed the game Moun- tain Lion of Concord Normal. A typical mountaineer fray. GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY Wesleyan lost to Georgetown, 34-7, in one of the cleverest over head attacks ever witnessed. The boys of the Capitol City used the aerial methods for numer- ous gains. Hut again the Bobcat snarls, and with the grim determination of her species scored. WAYNESBURG O ALLEGE Then came Waynesburg, boasting one of the best teams in history. Bui it could not compete with the sly, cunning resourcefulness of the Wesleyan Bobcat. It was evident that the Sting of the Yellow Jacket was not as bad a- the bite of the Bobcat, and so it was that the Wesleyan Bobcat- in one of the biggest -ur prises of the year defeated the Yellow Jackets. 34-0. NAVY Wesleyan suffering the loss of four regulars went into the Navj fray quite the underdog. Then — Wesleyan held them, held them valiantly until the third quarter. But the Navy rallied and sailed to a 37-0 victory. But during the first two quarters it appeared as anybody ' s game and at times the Bobcats threatened to sink the ship. But — — SALEM COLLEGE Now comes the day that many of us have been looking forward to. And, indeed, it was a day to look forward to. The Bobcats attacked, and at last rolled the Salem College Tigers in the mud. to go howling on to a 12-0 victory. The dashing rain could not subdue the spirits of the scrappy Bobcats, and again the superiority over the Tigers was proved on the barred field. DAVIS AND ELKINS The day dawned bright and clear. An ideal day. but the -mi set among the clouds, at least for the Wesleyan rooters, as the Scarlet Hurricanes of D. E downed the Bobcats, 14-7. The Annual Homecoming (lame; high hopes, then — they were blasted, but not disappointed, for it was a real team that was defeated; a team that fought to the last whistle; a team that was worthy of the ( ' range and Black. ST. XAVIER Hooray!! How sweet is revenge when duly tasted. The dashing Musketeers of St. Xavier with their quivering SWOrds and waving plumes, retreated and at last surrendered, giving the Bobcats a 19-7 victory. Playing football as only a determined Wesleyan team can play it, using the right play at the right time, they outgeneraled and outfought the Irish, which was, indeed, a hard and noteworthy thing to do. MARSHALL One of the biggest surprises in state intercollegiate gridiron circles was fur nished when the Wesleyan Bobcat eleven went down to a 13-7 defeat at the hands of the Big Green of Marshall College. Repeated fumbles and the obstructed kicking of the wet soggy ball was a big factor in the surprise defeat. Rut Wesleyan merely takes off her hat and bows and promises Marshall a run for her money next year. Ninety seven Ninety-eight A As Viewed by a Mountaineer Yup! it ' s a great game.

M$ ip ' rt With the passing of the last snow late in March and the coming of April with its -.oft breezes, warm sunshine, and spring weather the Wesleyan racqueteers were called forth for early practice. Faced with the realization that a hard schedule was hefore them — in fact, one of the stiffest schedules the defenders of the Orange and Black had ever been called to face — the squad soon rounded into condition. Only three letter-men were left from the champion team of 1927. They were: Dink Westfall, Fred Haught, and Gus Ritzinger. However, with the opening of the first match. Red McDowell and Ramus Holtz had qualified for varsity berths. The season ' s schedule presented fifteen matches; six at home and nine away. The matches with Duquesne, Marietta, and the Clarksburg Tennis Club were called on account of rain, but not before the Bobcats had taken the lead in the arguments against Duquesne, and Marietta. In the twelve matches played, Wes- leyan made a very creditable showing; winning seven and losing five. Two matches were won from each Salem and Broaddus, and one from Davis-F.lkins. Bethany and the Alumni. Matches were lost to Geneva, Davis-Elkins, Wash- ington-Jefferson, and Carnegie Tech. The outstanding feature of the season was the excellent playing of Fred Haught. Playing his fourth year of varsity tennis, Fred gave his best to come through with a clean slate, — winning all of his matches. The season ' s letter-men were: Captain Dink Westfall, Fred Haught, (ins Ritzinger, Red McDowell, and Ramus Holtz. r f Y One hundred Si niors Ci vss A Champions I ' . [ors ii tss I!

With Arthur Simons, who is at the head of all Intra-Mural Athletics at Wesleyan, forming a program for men; and Miss Nason doing the same for women, the rivalry has been closer this year than ever before, an l the enthusiasm far greater than in previous years. The Fall program was made up of campus football, golf, tennis, for men: ami hockey in addition i golf and tennis for women. The program was carried out and for the first time our fall sports program was completed. Then with winter came the inside -port-, which were basketball, handball, and volleyball. Two Intra-Mural basketball league- for men were for med, and these proved to be highly successful. In the A league, the Senior- won, and in the B league the Juniors won A handball tournament was run off, and the girls played their interclass basketball with all the class rivalry that the men showed. The Spring brought with it the outdoor -port- again. Golf and tennis proved the most popular, with baseball and track closely following. At recog- nition day the winners of the basketball tournament along with the champions in all other Intra-Mural sports were duly recognized. And with the closing ol College. Wesleyan finished the most successful year of intra-mural activities that ha- ever been held. Much credit goes to Mr. Simons, who spent so much time in arranging this schedule for the Intra-Mural -port-; and to Mi-- Mason for her unceasing efforts to make women ' - intra-mural competition a possibility.

The readers of the Pha- ros are composed of stu- dents, alumni, including business men, educators, ministers, and civic lead- ers throughout V. Va., the faculty, the parents ,,f the student body, and our friends in town.

The Student Council has charge of Freshman initiation, and through its efforts the Freshman is made better acquainted with Wes lr an. Each year the council sees that all students, who have taken part in extra-curricular affairs, receive due honor through the point sys- tem. The Student Council publishes a Wesleyan Hand Book annually, which i- one of great service to newcomers. a- well a to outsiders, who wish to know more about the college and its activities. During the past year, a committee from the Student Council in cooperation with the President and Secretary of each class, decided to keep the same standard ring that had been used by the college for the past tour years. Also during the past year, the Council sent its Presi- dent as a delegate to the National Student Council Congress at St. Louis from which the Council received much information concerning the work of the Student Council in various colleges throughout the country. The Student Council seems to he coming into closer relationship with the faculty, and may it. in years to come, with the aid of the stu- dent body, do even greater and better work than in the past, and thus carry out the ideals and principles which Wesleyan stands for.

We have had quite .1 prosperous year, even though some of our Brethren have wandered from the fold, and subjected themselves to the trials of Matrimony. Alpha Gamma Phi has played an important role in Campus Activities, and has furnished material for practicall) all of the Wesleyan Athletics. Captain Bullington, Pugh, Rader, Rodriguez, Rhodes, Craig, and Sharp all helped to make tin ' 1928 Bobcats successful. Even though used to more pretentious mansions, we have lived happily in our new home, and have enjoyed our beans and petty battles together. The Fraternity loses twelve members this year through graduation, but re- gardless of this fact, we have lower classmen to replace them.

The Campus is bounded on the wesl b) I In Bob Cat , on the north bj tin tta House, ' inc hundn d on the cast by a Tannery, and on the south by our Submarine Golf Course. The campus is covered with beautiful and useful shrubbery. In the spring the trees are filled with singing birds, and the shrubs are filled with cooing students In the center of the campus is an antique sundial. It won ' t tell time after dark, in fact, n won ' t U ' ll anything. That ' s something to be thankful for. In the north- east corner of the campus is a beautiful spring. It gushes forth its fountain or crystal waters to soothe the brows of study-worn students. It also serves as a retreat for the frogs, who having escaped the scapel of Biological Students, sing during the spring and summer afternoons Some saj thai this spring is an ( Iracle of Wesleyanus who breathes her nothings into the air. Students who have inves- tigated saj thai there is sometimes a male voice talking with the deity, so we have our doubts. Wesleyan proudly boasts of six (6) modern up-to-date buildings. They are lj ■ ■ 1 1 Hall, Moosick Hall, Gymnasium, Administration Building, Science Hall, atnl last Imt nut least the Heating Plant. We also have a Modern Chicken House i nut tin- Ladies ' Hall).

It sounds like Bluebeard doing In- daily The Science Hall i- the house of strange odors. The Administration Building is the place where Tuition is paid. Here also are the Chapel Barracks, and the famous carpets on which students meet their doom- The Heating Plant is a building built around the boilers to keep them from freezing up in the winter. We are envied the world over on account of our equipment. We have a Faculty, one 1912 model clock, one 1890 model mule, eighteen dyspeptic frogs, lwcnt one grand pianos, one pulpit, two Deans, one cracked hell, three hundred hymnals, and four hundred students not counting the dumb-bells in the Gym. Boys ' Dormitory The Boys ' Dorm, is the most recent addition to the campus tortures. It is a well liuilt structure having both an inside and an outside Through the efforts of the inmates this condition is being rapidly reversed. Here, boys are taken out of the arms of their parents and put in the care of the Gods. Here, they learn the art of wearing other peoples clothes, they cultivate that Collegiate Reach . They are taught the art of beating in time, and that a handkerchief is not to he sneezed at. The hoys are instilled with high ideals. They learn to write home for money without even a comment on the weather; they learn that Co-Eds didn ' t come to College to learn, hut to teach. It makes the poor unfortunates appreciate home, and they usually get there X. R. T. I No refund id Tuition I. Organizations Student Government: This is the group that governs the Student Bod} of Wesleyan College. The authority of the school is vested in an executive group called the Student Council. The) have nearly unlimited power over student affairs, hut they seldom use it. They feel that the Faculty and the Shipping Com- mittee might feel that some of their prestige had leaked out, so the Student Gov- ernment sit- idlj h in favor of the stronger faction. One hundred fifty -ix Campus n innn, i Club: This club is sponsored bj several of the professors, and holds its weekly meeting in the Ladii - R si Room The aim of this club is to get the students of VVesleyan interested in Dancing.
