At his desk With Mrs. McCuskey With Bishop Leonard and Clyde O. Law At his graduation from Wesleyan And at his camp DEDICATION To DR. ROY McCUSKEY, who for the past decade has loyally and devotedly served his Alma Mater, this volume is respectfully dedicated. Dr. McCuskey graduated from West Virginia Conference Seminary in 1 905, but returned to receive the Bachelor of Arts degree in 1908. He was granted the degree of Bach- elor of Sacred Theology by Boston University School of Theology in 1911. Dr. McCuskey served as a mem- ber of the Board of Trustees and in 1931 was made College President. Wesleyan honored him by award- ing the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity in 19 22. FACULTY Representing Wesleyan ' s faculty are men and women who have associated themselves for many years with the elements of sound higher education. Religious ideals, blended with scholastic excellence, exempli- fy their philosophy of education. Wesleyan ' s professors, having received their educa- tions in nine states and twenty-six different universi- ties and colleges, present an excellent cross-section of educational policies. Having come in contact with the leaders in the field of learning, they are able to enrich the student curriculum. With the combined advantage of well-equipped de- partments, high ideals of Christian education, and a select student body, the faculty is able to mold reso- lute character and to establish a progressive out- look on life.

Through the four years students came and went. After eight semesters of outstanding participation in extra-curricular activities, as well as excellence in scholastic en- deavor — preceded by late hours of study — seventy-six Seniors will step out across the plat- form to receive their diplomas. Beginning as green Freshmen, they have climbed the rocky path to knowledge, and are now ready to take their places in the world. 19 4 1 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Brooks Lohan - President Judson Hodges ----- Vice President Ruth Lee Miller ------ Secretary Virginia Pyle ------- Treasurer 1941 Reading Across — Row One NATHANIEL G.

Walkersville 25 — eiAi$ Looking forward to another year of enjoyable college activity, the class of ' 42 girds itself for the last battle of the books which stands between it and graduation. Advancing through three years of study and social attainment, the members have left behind a record which will be hard to equal- With but eighty-one stu- dents, the Juniors make up in quality what they lack in quantity. They should well be able to follow the trail blazed by their pre- decessors. 19 4 2 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Dean Cerwig ------- President Sam Cwosden ------ Vice President Mary Jane Boyles - Secretary-Treasurer £l A 4LU Roto One {left to right, horizontally): HOWARD ALLAN BENNETT Lundys Lane, Pa.

One hundred and sixty-seven strong, they have suc- cessfully covered the first two years of their collegiate travels. Judging by the record, it would seem that they will be highly capable of stepping along in the footsteps of those who have gone before. Three years of friendly association with other students, and six semesters of intensive study await the members of the Freshman class. How many will accept the challenge, continue the effort, and in time step forth from their Alma Mater ' s campus into a world of adven- ture? Let us wish them every good fortune on their journey. f 9 4 3 - 4 4 FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS Ralph Brown ---.___ President Socrates Roussos - Vice President Janis Simons ------- Secretary Betty Hoffman ------- Treasurer SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Herbert Sharp ------- President Monena White - - Vice President Betty Cotton - - Secretary Kenneth Knox ------- Treasurer tcrosi — A ' ,.i, ' One LOUIS E.

This election was a change from the procedure of having the choice made by a famous screen star. It was decided that, through constant association with the girls both in the classroom and on the campus, students could better |udge them from the stand- point of poise and personality as well as physical attractiveness. Their judgment could not have been better. The eight girls selected have all of the queenly attributes. The beauty queens are Martha Jean Martin, Enterprise, and Cora Mae Stout, Lost Creek, Seniors; Kathleen Norris Williams, Buckhannon, Bettie Antionette Mc- Quiston, Irwin, Pennsylvania, and Helen Louise Conaway, Mannington, Juniors; Agnes Ann Mer- ryman, Sistersville, Sophomore; Helen Jean Bailey, Buckhannon, and Kathryn Elizabeth Tannehill, Connellsville, Pennsylvania, Freshmen. i L I X — IBzttis c—J-ntlonztU cMp.Quis.ton Junior ; Maltha j£an nl aitin Senior c j-qn.E.i rfun ' Uxxuman Sophomore Junior t TJELEn J.S.UI1 JDiILL£ y Freshman Dyxtntun cZ.iizabs.tn Janndiill Freshman Junior Coxa IU- Stout Senior Y 8 S Following on enabling resolution of the Board of Trustees passed In June, 1925, four soror- ities (as well as three fraternities) were organ- ized.

Intercollegiate competition includes football, basketball, base- ball, tennis, and golf. In addition, there is a well-rounded program of intramural sports for both men and women. (oath Cebe Coach Cecil B. Ross, Wesleyan alumnus, has been directing athletics at his Alma Mater since 1925. Popularly known as Cebe, Coach Ross has gained a reputation as one of the most successful mentors of small-college teams. Several of his former Bobcats are now with professional football teams; many others are coaches and athletic directors in high schools, colleges, and universities. 84 The Those Section Teams may fight hard, but they need the support and encouragement of the student body and the public. Pictured below are some of the leaders in the program to promote and publicize athletics at Wesleyan.

The 1940 season was characterized by de- velopment of what Coach Ross claimed was My best line in the sixteen years of coaching college football . Unfortunately, the ' 40 edi- tion of the Ross machine lacked capable ball toters, and the barkfield was a keen disap- pointment all season. Nevertheless, Coach Ross was able to build a team that improved over the 1939 eleven, and turned in three victories, while bowing in defeat five times. As for the 1941 eleven, the outlook is good although the Rossmen are facing a strenuous ten-game schedule. Only one change marks the card from the past season. St. Vincent College of Latrobe, Pennsylvania, has been added to the schedule after a year ' s absence 1940 SEASON Wesleyan 20 Salem Wesleyan Morris-Harvey 1 5 Wesleyan Geneva 6 Wesleyan West Virginia 32 Wesleyan Catholic University 13 Wesleyan 1 3 Davis-Elkins Wesleyan 1 9 Bethany 7 Wesleyan Waynesburg (Postponed) Wesleyan Marshall 67 The Bobcats began their 1940 campaign with a smashing victory over a weak Salem College eleven. Combining powerful running plays with an effective aerial attack, the Methodist machine had little trouble in win- ning the initial game by the score of 20-0. The first touchdown came as a result of a 72- yard march with Meighan and Clod carrying the ball. Meighan finally plunged over the cne-yard stripe to give the Cats a 6-0 lead. In the second half, the Rossmen struck through the air as Clod and Andrick tossed passes to Roussos for gains of 15 and 25 yards before Spessard plunged over from the two-yard line. Pcundstcne converted to boost the score to 13 The same passing of Glod to Roussos again proved valuable in the last quarter as Mickey tossed a 17-yard heave to the hefty end, and Sock ran 40 yards to pay dirt. Poundstone ' s kick for the extra point was again good to complete the scoring for the day. An alert Morris-Harvey eleven that capital- ized on every break pushed over two touch- downs and a safety to topple the Bobcats 15-0 in the second game of the season. The Orange and Black played a defensive game through- cut the entire contest, and were unable to get a consistent attack under way at any time in the game. A 50-yard march netted the Eagles their first score in the first period, and a few minutes later a blocked Wesleyan punt led to the second Morris-Harvey touchdown. Late in the final period, Meighan was tackled in the end zone and the Eagles added two more points to their evening ' s total. CHARLIE POUNDSTONE SOC ROUSSOS JIM SPESSARD JOE HUNTZ MICKEY GLOD TOAR FOR I NASH The Convenonters of Geneva College push- ed over a third quarter touchdown, and then dug in during the remainder of the game and protected their slender lead to defeat the Rossmen 6-0. Reeling off four fast first downs, the Genevans marched seventy yards in seven plays for the game ' s only score as fullback Bruno of the Pennsylvania team carried the ball most of the time, and scored the six points. The Orange and Black threatened to score but once. Late in the second quarter the Bobcats moved from the Geneva 35 to the 12- yard line on a triple reverse with DeMarco carrying the ball. However, the Geneva line stiffened and after the Rossmen were stopped in two running plays, they took to the air with no better success. West Virginia ' s power-laden Mountaineers finally wore down a gallant, but outnumbered, Bobcat team and tallied four touchdowns in the second half to pace the University team to a 32-0 win. The first score of the game did not come until the final two minutes of the first half, as the Mountaineers went 35 yards to score. The Bobcats threatened but once, when Kosko recovered a Mountaineer fumble on the West Virginia 38. However, on the next play, Seabright intercepted a pass, and the Cats ' only scoring opportunity was lost. A steady string of fresh reserves had little trouble scoring at will in the second half, as a tired Methodist team tried in vain to halt the de- luge. Catholic University ' s Cardinals took to the air lanes to hand the Bobcats their fourth straight setback on October 26 in Washington. A sustained drive of 64 yards gave the Cards their first touchdown when Sachon finally passed to Brendan Stynes in the end zone. Cherello dropkicked the conversion to give Dutch Bergman ' s team a 7-0 lead. With less than a minute to play in the first half, the Cardinals stopped the Rossmen on the eight, Sachon then passed to Donovan on the 45, and on the final play of the half heaved an- other to Donovan on the goal line, to give the Washington eleven their second score. The Bobcats moved deep into the enemy territory several times during the contest, but on each occasion the Cardinal line was equal to the task, and held the Cats scoreless. Returning to their home f ield, the Bobcats finally snapped their losing streak which had extended to four games when they trounced Davis Elkins 13-0. Early in the game, with the ball on the Senator 40, Meighan passed to Gwosden with the end lateraling to Kulnis, who advanced the ball to the visitors ' seven-yard line. Kulnis then plunged over in his second try, and Poundstone kicked the extra point. The second touchdown came late in the second quarter as Spessard and Kulnis carried the ball to the Davis and Elkins ' 20. On an end-around play Gwosden made a first down on the one, and Spessard hit the line to score, and that ended the scoring for the afternoon. Encouraged by their victory over Davis- Elkins, an enlivened Bobcat spoiled Homecom- ing Day at Bethany College the following Sat- urday and mauled the previously undefeated Bisons 19-7. After Bethany had scored in the first period, the Rossmen came to life and went 58 yards for a touchdown with Kulnis doing the scoring. In the final period the Ross- men added two more touchdowns on sustained drives, 46 and 55 yards, respectively, with Kulnis and Spessard plunging over. Andrick converted after the final touchdown, and the Cats had bumped Bethany from the ranks of the undefeated. Old King Winter gained a verdict over the Cats on November 16 as cold weather and icy roads caused postponement of the annual Homecoming game with Waynesburg College. The Bobcats rang down the curtain on a mediocre season by taking a severe drubbing at the hands of Marshall College in the annual Turkey Day classic played at Huntington on November 21. The final score was 67-0, as Jackie Hunt set a new intercollegiate scoring record for one season by making four touch- downs to reach the total of 162 points for one campaign. The Big Green team tallied once in the first period, twice in the second, and three times each in the final two quarters, while holding the Cats at bay during the entire con- test. FRED BROADWATER JERRY DE MARCO CHUB BEER VIC NOCERA 88 — DAVE MARKER PAUL SMALL CARL WILFRONG DON STEELE DUTCH FOEHR — 89 — BASKETBALL For the first time in several years, the Bob- cat basketeers were able to boast of a better than five hundred average for the regular playing season, as the Rossmen won eleven games while losing ten. Highlights of the campaign were victories over Clenville and Marshall, marking the first time that the Rossmen had defeated these re- spected rivals since 1936. Another high spot of the strenuous schedule was a 54-50 tri- umph over West Virginia University at Mount Hope, after the Mountaineers had previously defeated the Bobcats at Buckhannon and Morgantown. During the regular season the Orange and Black notched two victories each over Fair- mont and Bethany, and swept single encount- ers with West Liberty and Davis and Elkins. The Rossmen also split two-game series with Marshall, Clenville, Alderson-Broaddus, and Morris-Harvey, while the Cats dropped both pairs of games played with Waynesburg and Salem. Against West Virginia University, the local cagers captured one game out of the three played. The West Virginia Intercollegiate Confer- ence Tournament was again held in the Bob- cat gymnasium from March 1 to 12. The Bobcats, defending title holders, were unequal to the task of retaining their crown, and after defeating Potomac State in the opening round, were beaten by Concord State in the semi- finals.

INTUMIIMLS The 1940-41 Intramural program was fea- tured by close competition in all sports in both the men ' s and women ' s divisions. The men ' s program was again under the supervision of Dave Reemsnyder, while Miss Margaret E. Covert guided the activities of the women. No one class stood out in the men ' s race, a different champion being acclaimed in each sport. The Seniors successfully defended their basketball championship won in 1939-40 in the A League The Juniors captured the title in the basketball B League, and the Sophomores were accorded the laurels in touch football. Team sports again stole the spotlight, as the men participated in touch football, volley- ball, basketball, and softball. The women also had a varied program. Field hockey was sub- stituted for touch football, which comprised the only difference between the men ' s and women ' s schedules. The Sophomores proved their athletic abili- ty in the women ' s division, winning the titles in hockey and volleyball, while the Juniors captured the basketball championship. Individual sports also proved popular, and there was keen rivalry in table tennis, hand- ball, archery, golf, tennis, horeshoe pitching, and foul shooting.
