mm. mwk mtim msim loi O o a half century ago West Virginia Wesleyan College was a mere dream that was beginning to take shape in the form of an ed- ucational institution where young men and young women might receive a Christian Education . . . . - Presidents of Hoard of Trustees Himcy C.

Many were their heart- breaks, their disappointments and seeming failures. But as we see it today in a larger view, the work of the first halt century is the foundation of the greater structure on which we are build- ing today. A seminary served as its first means of promoting ed- ucation. What a contrast to the methods of travel of today. These ministerial students of years ago are leaving for their various charges. Dr. Haughl. the younger man at this time, lias watched Wesleyan grow and become the school it is today. He served as Dean from 1909 to 1929. Then, in Wesleyan ' s youth, its football team was able to win from West Virginia University, just as t lie basketball team of 1940 did from the same school, their greatest rival. And this was the orchestra. Time has shown the widening interest and development students have made in all branches of music. Play casts of earlier days made a slight- ly different im- pression from those of today. This cast in T h e District School, w a f under the di- rection of William S. O ' Brien. 2 £ 2 9 G llfv IME was when West Virginia Wes- leyan College was a weak, struggling group of conscientious faculty and stu- dents. The first quarter century of her existence was spent in a search for per- sonalities possessed of the qualities nec- essary to strengthen her position. Such men were fortunately found. Their tire- less energy and undying devotion have made West Virginia Wesleyan College outstanding among smaller educational institutions of the country. A 19 6 A Dk. John W.

Miss Eleanor Champ. Roy McCuskey, D.D. President of the College After graduating from the West Virginia Con- ference Seminary (now West Virginia Wes- leyan College) in 1905, Roy McCuskey later re- turned to Wesleyan and received the Bachelor of Arts degree in 1908. In li ' ll lie was awarded the degree of Bachelor of Sacred Theology by Boston University School of Theology. He he- came a member of the Board of Trustees of West Virginia Wesleyan College in 1921. The next year he was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity by West Virginia Wes- leyan. In June, 1931, he was elected to the presidency of his alma mater. Wesleyan has indeed been fortunate in having him as its leader during the last nine years. Wallace B. Fleming, Ph.D. Oscar Doane Lambert, Ph.D. Vice-President of the College A.B., M.A..

Wesleyan ' s fiftieth year of existence also marks her thirty-seventh year of intercollegi- ate athletics. Back in 1902, fifteen staunch men trotted out on a gridiron and this small group has the distinction of being the first team to wear the orange and black, although they failed to win a game. However, the following year the Bobcats won their first athletic contest when they defeated Grove City College 11-10. During the next few years Wesleyan ' s foot- ball stock kept rising, and in 1910 Scio College was defeated 110-0, this being the largest total any Bobcat team has scored. This same year also saw the team win the state championship for the first time. In 1912 Wesleyan hailed her first undefeated eleven, winning seven games, the highlights being a 102-0 win over Davis- Elkins and a 19-14 victory over West Virginia University. Intercollegiate basketball was in- troduced at this time, and the cagers claimed the state title by copping 18 out of 20 contests. Each year until 1923 the Bobcats retained the state basketball championship. The football title also was won in ' 13, ' 14, ' 15, and ' 17. Under the tutelage of Coach Bob Higgins, Wesleyan entered the ranks of Big Time football in 1921 by trouncing the Middies of the Navy. The following year Cecil Cebe Boss took command and has been at the helm ever since. Under Coach Boss, Wesleyan ' s fame became nation-wide as Cebe developed such players as Tuffy Edmiston, Dave Beem- snyder, Cliff Battles, and Feets Barnum. In 193(5, the Bobcats pulled the upset of the year when they defeated Duquesne University at Pittsburgh 2-0, after the Dukes had downed unbeaten Pitt the week before. This year the local basketball quintet stole the spotlight when the ' Cats trounced West Virginia University at Morgantown, and by winning the state intercol- legiate basketball tournament. And so Wes- leyan begins her second half century with pros- pects bright for successful football and basket- ball teams in the vears to come. -a- « ' BILL WILSON DEL WALKER ADDIE McKOWN MIKE CUTNEY JOE ANDRICK QootLall EDDIE KOSKO JACK MOORE TOM SCANLON In the opening game of the season. West Virginia University trounced the Bobcat eleven 44-0 at Morgantown on September 30. The rugged Mountaineer team combined broken field running and strong power in pushing across seven touchdowns against a Methodist team that was weak both defensively and offensively. The home team scored but two touchdowns in the first half, but fresh reserves ran wild against them in the final half. Captain Strosser led his St. Vincent College mates to a 32-6 victory in a night contest played at Latrobe, Pa., on October 6. The first time Strosser laid his hands on the ball he galloped 90 yards for a touch- down, and his elusive running set up touchdown plays throughout the entire game. In the second period, Eddie Meighan ' s twenty-five yard pass to Sam Gwosden in the end zone brought about the first Bobcat touchdown of the year. Morris Harvey ' s Golden Eagles put on a second half rally that netted them a 28-14 victory in a game played at Charleston on Octo- ber 14. The Eagles scored first in the opening period but the ' Cats quickly retaliated and Jim Cain punched the ball across and McKown converted to tie the game at seven all. A little later Meighan passed to Gwosden for the second Bobcat score and Walker added the extra point. The Eagles again tied it up in the third quarter with a 70-yard drive, and Captain Bob Starret won the game with a 75-yard touch- down run. Dutch Bergman ' s Catholic U. gridders handed the Bobcat eleven one of the worst defeats ever suffered by a Wesleyan team when they over- whelmed the Rossmen 60-0 on October 21 at Washington, D. C. The Cardinals scored nine touchdowns in accomplishing their rout, al- though the Rossmen nosed them out in first downs, getting nine to Catholic ' s eight. The Methodists completed 14 passes out of 36 at- tempts for 155 yards, but could gain only 23 yards in 23 running plays. Homecoming Day turned out to be a disappointment as the Bob- cats dropped another ball game to Waynesburg on October 28. The first half was scoreless, but the Yellowjackets put on a sustained drive of sixty yards in the third period that netted them the only score of the game, when Lapkowicz plunged over from the 1-yard marker. The ' Cats tried desperately to score and brought the ball up the field to the Waynesburg 2-yard line, but were held in four downs. GEORGE SNYDER JIM BEER CHARLEY GRUVER SAM GWOSDEN EDDIE MEIGHAN CLYDE STEWART CHARLEY I ' HI.AR ALEX WRAGG FRED BROADWATER JACK BURKE Long Island U. made it six defeats in a row as they handed the Rossmen a 27-6 setback on Ebbets Field. Brooklyn, on November 4. Halfback Price of the Blackbirds sparked the New Y ' orkers to their triumph with his brillia nt broken field running and accurate passes. The Blackbirds built up a 2T-0 lead before the ' Cats started moving. A 42-yard pass from Mickey Glod to Del Walker placed the ball on the L. I. U. 8-yard line. On the next play Glod received a lateral and dashed over unmolested for the Bobcats ' only tally. Two touchdown jaunts by Capt. Jud Hudson featured Davis-Elkins ' 19-0 triumph over the Bobcats on November 11 at the local field. Hud- son ' s first run came in the second period from the ' Cats ' 20-yard line, after a passing attack had carried the ball into scoring position. In the last quarter Hudson received a lateral and dashed 73 yards to score. Early in the first period the Senators drove 45 yards to tally as How- ard plunged over from the 3-yard stripe. The Rossmen threatened but once, that being in the third quarter when they carried the ball to the Elkins ' 6-yard line. However, the Sheltonmen held for four downs, and the Bobcats never again neared the invader ' s goal. Victory finally came to a starved Bobcat eleven as they defeated Salem College 14-7 at the local field on November 17. The Rossmen wasted no time in scoring. Hodges recovered a Salem fumble on the second play of the game and McKown and Meighan carried the ball on alternate plays to the Tiger 6-yard line from where Meighan scored on a wide end sweep. A passing attack brought the Methodists their second score in the third period with Meighan finally passing to Kosko in the end zone. A similar passing game brought about Salem ' s only score late in the final quarter with Bowers heaving to Golden for the tally. The Bobcats rang down the curtain to a disastrous campaign when they dropped their annual Turkey Day classic at Huntington to Mar- shall College 47-12. Long runs and power plays featured the Herds ' victory with Hunt and Morelock frequently ripping off long gains. The Rossmen scored in the second quarter when Cutney recovered a fumble on the ten. On the next play, Glod dashed around end to score. In the third period Wesleyan scored again as Glod heaved a pass from mid- field to Walker on the 10 with Walker lateralling to McKown who easily scored.

(iaAJzethall Coach Cebe Ross developed a basketball club this year that proved to be the sensation of West Virginia. The highlight of the season was first, the 54-43 victory over West Virginia University ' s Mountaineers, and then the winning of the West Virginia Inter-Collegiate Conference Champion ship, which was held in t lie local gymnasium March 11 and 12. During the regular playing season the Bobcats won ten and lost eleven games. Twin victories were scored over Fairmont, Bethany, and Alder- son-Broaddus, while the Methodists divided games with Salem, Morris Harvey. Davis-Elkins, and West Virginia. Waynesburg. Glenville. and Marshall each notched two wins over the ' Cats, while Washington and Jefferson captured the single encounter played with the Rossmen. A thrilling one point victory over Salem, which saw the local team lose an eighteen point lead, and then overcome a four point deficit in the last two minutes, and West Virginia ' s one point triumph on our floor were the high spots of the local calendar.

Dave Reemsnyder headed the men ' s division while Mrs. Ross was in charge of women ' s sports. Each class is allowed one man and one woman representative, who are elected by the members of their classes each spring. The senior man is president, and the senior woman vice-president. The man representative of the juniors is secretary while the junior woman is assistant secretary. The treasurer ' s office is held by the male member of the sophomores, with the sophomore woman as assistant. Freshmen representa- tives complete the board membership. Both the men ' s and the women ' s programs consisted of varying individual and team sports.

In the winter, vol- leyball and basketball were the team sports on the men ' s calendar, with handball, ping pong, and foul shooting, the individual sports, supplementing the program. With the exception of handball and foul shooting, the women ' s pro- gram was the same. Many individual sports entered the limelight in the spring as Softball was the only team sport on the schedule. For the men, aerial darts, archery, bad- minton, golf, horseshoes, shuffleboard, and tennis com- pleted the activities of the year. Archery, badminton, field events, golf, paddle tennis, ring tennis, and lawn tennis ■were the games that the women participated in during the spring. The senior girls were undoubtedly the most outstanding group in any of the four classes. Besides having several members win honors in the individual games, they, as teams, won the hockey, volleyball, and basketball cham- pionships. The senior men contributed to the success of this class by winning the speedball championship and also nearly all the individual sports, besides the class B bas- ketball title. • ■ ' ' ■■■■■ill i Mighty Monarchs of Civilization The average person seldom thinks of the vital relationship between our Colleges and a Gas Company. In reality, natural gas is one of Education ' s staunchest pillars, especially in West Virginia. Of the hundreds of thousands of dollars spent annually by Gas Companies for improvements, expansion, taxes, rentals, pay rolls, etc.. a major portion goes toward education of the youth of the State. And, so the Schools and the men in the Gas fields both are contributing generously to the progress of the State. Both are Mighty Monarchs of Civilization.
