They stood at a crossroad, looking buck and looking forward. Perhaps their attitude was best symbolized by the classic title of James Seamon s autobiography for Freshman English: From the Cradle to the Shave. ' SEPTEMBER, 1941 12. Farewell dinner for Dr. Roy McCuskey, retiring president, and Mrs. McCuskey. 15. Fifty-second college year officially opens. Vice President Fleming takes over the duties of acting presi- dent. Starry-eyed Freshmen wander about the campus. Many transfers, too, including Good Neighbor Roberto Santana from Puerto Rico. Registration, matriculation, orientation. And another of those macabre receptions, which has one or mor e of three purposes: To let you see your name cut to ribbons and put together again in as- tonishing forms; to muddle your memory with names and faces of people with whom you later will become acquaint - ed: or to introduce you to people you have known for years. The food is good, but scanty. 18. New attendance rules are to be enforced this year Those who can take extra cuts won ' t; those who can ' t will wish they could. 19. Book store moved to new location in basement of Ad Building. 24. A public address system, rigged by Prof. Hallam now makes it possible for even the Freshmen to hear the announcements in chapet. 26. Decision of the Annual Conference at Huntington to regard Wesley an as the only Methodist-sponsored college in the state. 29. Dr. Reinhold Shairer, head of the Department of International Relations at the University of London, speaks to us, looking beyond the war to the days when men of good will will begin reconstruction. OCTOBER 3. First student employment service, organized through Alumni office and headed by Bill Downer. 6. Freshman Rules. Orange and black dinks hiding crew hair-cuts. Identification cards on Freshman backs. Freshman Court. Punishment includes wearing of odd garb and signs announcing sins of indiscretion. 8. Under the astute guidance of Walter Kohlheim , construction engineer and president of Nucleus Club, a greenhouse is now in process of erection behind the Science Hall. 10. We suddenly become aware that new red velvet curtains, presented by the Playshop, now adorn the stage of the auditorium. 11. Theatre party for the Freshman girls flung by the Agnes Howard house board. 13. This is an unlucky day for some-speech record- ings in Dean Neil ' s public speaking class. 14. Home Ec Club style show, sponsored by a New York style expert. 15. Dr. Brown ' s reminiscent chapel talk strikes the keynote of Founders Week--a graphic, poignant picture of Wesleyan across the years. 17. Bishop ' sDay, honoring BishopJamesH. Straughn . 18. The gathering of the Wesleyan clan, with that outlandish Homecoming parade. Kappa Phi Omega takes the Fleming Cup with its Victory float. Rain-soaked Bethany Bisons clawed by Wesleyan Wildcats, equally rain-soaked. 20. This week the mill of the gods is grinding. Six weeks tests are in progress. The library does a rushing business. WESLEYAN ' S ALMANAC 24. Leonard Warren, Metropolitan baritone. Figaroes his way into the good graces of Wesleyan Hsteners. 24-26. Student Volunteer fall conference at Salem. 27-31. Rush parties.

And then this being the Age of Miracles-danc- ing in the gym? 30. S. E. A. meeting in Charleston and another Wesleyan banquet. NOVEMBER 1. The U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey has erected an observation tower on our front campus. A sign at the bottom strictly forbids climbing it. The view from the top is quite elegant. 5. Class elections -proof, at least, that we live in a democracy of sorts . . . Hugh Hodgson explains for us in his warm Southern voice the subtle difference between a pianist and a pianist-musician. Ranging from the en- raptured thunder of Liszt to the haunting sweetness of the Moonlight Sonata, his own playing pleases every taste. 6. Fraternity dance and it rains and Willie Wes- leyan goes for his date looking like the grease monkey in the ad for a well-known hair tonic. 7. The Brothers Hickman -Bert and Roma- and Okie Lang, unobtrusive but indispensable factors in Wes- leyan ' s progress, have this week been repairing a section of the eaves along the front of the Ad Building. 10. The football team spends the week-end in Florida, and a very good time is had by the Miami team. 11, In observance of Armistice Day. we listen to the Rev. Myron S. Collins, a chaplain in the trenches of the last war, a giant of a man physically and spiritually-- a man who takes death at its face value, but who has a heartening faith in a warless world of the future. 14. First night football game under the new floodlights: Hot coffee, straight from the kettle- five cents; hot dogs -seven cents. Somehow unreal like a scene from Alice in Wonderland viewed through a frosty haze. But the score is real enough: 7 to 0, in favor of Waynesburg. 15. Ground broken for the new Home Ec demonstra- tion cottage . . . Another dance in the gym. 16. First presentation in many years of Elijah, majestic oratorio, by the a cappella choir, highlighted by the trio of Mildred Rosenmerkel.

Dr. Paul Popenoe, genetics e. pert. while fairly dripping pearls of wisdom on the subject. How Do You Know It ' s Love? whimsically observes that modern man is notoriously well satisfied with himself, while modern woman is both overexposed and underdeveloped. 19. Student Volunteers, led by Julia Mezzatesta, collect money for the war babies in China. 2 . Prof. Glauner exhorts us on the eccentric grandeur of Carrie Nation and her policy ot hatchetation. 27. The four squirrels acquired by the Lantern Club have done the customary thing, and there are now seven of them camped in the Oak Grove. 28. Max Gene Nohl. explorer extraordinary, shows us his remarkable movies and explains boyishly, naively, his notable accomplishments in deep-sea diving. 29. Death of Dr. Bennett W. Hutchinson, first presi- dent of Wesleyan. It is as though the first landmark of the college had been swept away. But here and elsewhere his spirit and purpose live on. DECEMBER 3. Dr. McCuskey comes back for a brief visit, finding a hearty welcome from students and unmistakable signs of continued progress: two new jokes in Dr. Chrisman ' s repertoire, and a smile on Mr. Aylesworth ' s face. 6. The greenhouse becomes an accomplished fact. 7- Blitzkrieg in the Pacific . . . Pearl Harbor bombed. 8. War declared; and Dr. Haught. retired faculty member and former acting president of Wesleyan. speaks to us coolly, calmly, taking the long look: Geographic Background ot Present World Condition. 9.

West Virginia Intercollegiate Press Association convenes at Salem. Blond and modest Zeke Gabriel elected president. 12. Election of Student Union Council a small or- ganization with a large ard worthy purpose: Let there be no more jealousy or shady politics; let peace and co- operation reign over the campus. Selah. 13. A cappella choir, directed by Miss Boette, pre- sents The Messiah for the lourth consecutive year. Beautiful, heartening beyond words. Prot. Hallam makes recordings of two choruses. 15. Dr. Saucier s new college text, Theory and Practice in the Elementary School, hot off the press. 16. Annual fall band concert is played to small but appreciative audience. 18. Farewell vacation fling-ding in the gyni . . . Lan- tern and Y. W. C. A. go Christmas caroling. 19. Two-weeks vacation starts today. In the defense industries, ten-hour days and seven-day weeks are coming into vogue. This is a war. No cake-eaters need apply. 20. Dr. Judson ' s fourth annual biology field study tour leaves for the Sunny South, with Florida ' s great outdoors as the main classroom. 24. Prime Minister Churchill and President Roosevelt make history via radio from the White House, meeting to demonstrate Anglo-American unity. 27. Frank E. Muzzy, retired music professor of Wes- leyan ' s faculty, dies in a Baltimore hospital following an illness of several weeks. He will perhaps be remembered best for the warm encouragement he gave to many a struggling young piano student. JANUARY 1942 3-4. Conference of college presidents in Baltimore to discuss the place of higher education in the national emergency. Dr. Fleming attends. 5. Back to the grindstone. The students will now have a chance to rest up from their vacation. Cupid has been busy among our sweet young things. Diamond rings light up the place like the Great White Way. It ' s be- wilderin ' . 9. Dr. Judson presents his Florida movies, franti- cally urging his assistant at the projector to Move it up a little, Frank. But is is no go, and we miss the better part of his shots of a girl diving champion. 11. A collection of recorded voices of former Wesleyan presidents has been started. Those of Dr. Carl G. Doney and of the late Dr. B. W. Hutchinson have already been made. 12. Dynamic, black- haired Jay Allen, the fightin Irish personified, shakes the very ground under our fett with his lacerating wit and sarcasm, gives us hard facts about France and the Germans. Also: I pray for the English they ' re magnificent -but I don ' t like ' em. 97 14. A dazzled audience pays ear to the superfine piano playing of Mieczyslaw Munz--a strong and silent man who had quite a struggle to find a place in Buck- hannon where he could shave in comfort. 15. Nancy Goodwin, first Speaker of the new Student Union Council, appoints Jack McDonald first Executive Secretary. Plans for the proposed Union Building are drawn up and presented by Mason Hicks. 16. Miss Boette ' s students give a recital, including organ, piano, and vocal numbers. Fascinating. 18. Those holes on the campus are not shell craters or giant gopher holes. Professional ditch-diggers are look- ing for a stopper in the water line. (They found it.) 20. Orchestra gives first concert in years. 23. Student body votes to eliminate Easter vacation to hurry up the school year. Each day the war comes closer home. 24. Zero hour. Exams start today. Head-aches start tomorrow. 29.

Easley and Civilian Defense Super- visor John T. Flynn tell us what to do when the bombers come — probably to bomb the pants factory. 7. The thermometer touched 10 degrees below this week. Which is nothing to the chills felt when semester grades come out. 8. Dr. Schoolcraft at last finds long-deserved national recognition--as a teacher of school craft in Ripley ' s Believe It or Not. Horatio Alger, Jr., was right; Per- severance pays. 9. Dr. Roy L. Smith, editor of Christian Advocate, challenges us to seek the greatest single fact in the universe -the fact of God. 10. In the most hair-raising basketball game in many a moon, the Bobcats take Glenville over the coals 62 to 59. The welkin not only rang — it rattled. And did that Old Bell peal out! Those proficient bandiers of words, the d ebate team, also let go against Glenville on the question of government regulation of labor unions. 11. The draft is blowing again. Our ranks are thinning daily as the men leave to get ready for another Over There. 13-15. At its initial conference in Morgantown. the new West Virginia Methodist Student Movement elects Bill Hudson as president. 14. St. Valentine ' s Day.

Sigma Alpha Sigma, scholastic honorary, holds its annual food-fest and initiation of new members, this year adding a dance to the festivities. 9. The campus squirrel population has increased again. Which isn ' t surprising. 11. The Barrere trio do their stuff. Willie Wesleyan ' s taste in music is gradually rising above No Name Jive and Lament to Love. But very gradually, accompanied by much pain. 15. Prof. Hallam named communications officer by Upshur County CiviHan Defense Council headed by Prof. Carder. 16. Today the earth is fairly buzzing with the promise of new growth. A Senior walking toward the oak grove is likely to think: No more springs on Wesleyan ' s cam- pus after this one. Where will I be a year from now? 17. St. Patrick ' s — with here and there the wearin ' o ' the green. 19. Intercollegiate Speech Festival at Concord-down where the Southern hospitality begins.

Religious Emphasis; Week begins, with students leading the services and conducting the choir. And some- thing new has been added- -a welcome dash of brilliant orange to the sombre black robes of the choir. APRIL 1.

THE COACHES Dave and Cebe talk over prospects Cecil B Ross has served his Alma Mater as head coach and director of athletics for se enteen years Cebe, as he is known to sports fans throughout the stat e, is regarded as one of the most successful small- college coaches in the East An all-star Bobcat himself during his college days. Coach Ross has seen many of his Wesleyan-trained players go on to win fame in professional football Next fall the Bobcats will be under new tutelage Coach Ross goes to Charleston to become coach at Morris Harvey College. David Reemsnyder, assistant coach and director of physical education, is also a former Bobcat star He returned to Wesleyan after several years of coaching in southern West Virginia high schools. 102 FOOTBALL For the past few years Coach C R Ross has been striv ing to de elop a football team which, with respect to wins and losses, would approach those of days gone by Slowly the annual records ha e been im- pro ing, and to many 1941 appeared to be the season when the Old Bell would set up a continual clanging for victorious Bobcats But disappointment was the result Even so, the 1941 season was far from being un- successful. The Methodists boasted wins over Gene a, Davis and Elkins, and Bethany IMorris Har ey was tied 7-7 And holding an exceptionally strong ' est Virginia University team to three touchdowns is not to be overlooked, St Vincent and Miami were both stronger than average So it can safel and reasonably be said that the Bobcats are still holding their own. Prospects for 1942 are not encouraging The armed forces of our country have precedence and few veterans are available for next year ' s squad. How- ever, first-year men will be used to fill the shoes of the veterans, and the Old Bell will keep on pro- claiming victories as football marches on at Wesleyan 1941 SEASON RECORD Wesleyan 7 Morris Harvey 7 Wesleyan 28 Geneva Wesleyan 33 Davis and Elkins 6 Wesleyan W.

The second half was scoreless, and the game ended 7-7. Bounding back from the tie with the Charleston school, the Orange and Black steam-rollered over Genev a with a 28-0 victory The game, which was highlighted by fumbles and pass interceptions, saw the ball change hands twenty-six times The Bobcats scored in each quarter, with Pugh, Glod, DeMarco, and Xocera carrying the ball Poundstone added the extra points by placements. Kosko, veteran end, received injuries which kept him out of the next four games. Top to bottom: Jones, Kosko, Beer, Spessard, Wilfong, Poundstone, Stewart, Gwos- den, Gruver, Small, Kulnis, DeMarco, Roussos The tollowing week, before a rain-soaked Forest Festival crowd at Elkins, the Rossmen set back Davis and Elkins 33-6 With power and precision, the Bobcats had little trouble in outclassing the Senators in every department Glod scored twice, while Jones, Pugh, and Donley each had a touch- down to his credit Poundstone again added three placements. On October 11 West Virginia Uni ersity trounced the ' Cats in Mountaineer Stadium 20-0 Only with reser e power did Hill Kern ' s team outclass Wesleyan The University Gridders, rebounding from the Ka y setback, were out for all they could get at the Bob- cats ' expense Their passing and running were out- standing, e en so, time after time, the Bobcat line held as big Toar Forinash, Gru er, Beer, and Stewart broke through. Unhampered by the rain, the Bobcats took the next game at the expense of the Bethany Bisons be- fore a small homecoming crowd 47-0 The Methodists, led by Glod, rolled up a total of 386 yards gained, while holding Bethany to 13 Glod again led in scoring with three touchdowns, while Spessard, Wil- fong, Kulnis, and DeMarco each had one Pound- stone kicked four out of six attemps at con ersions, to make his total thus far in the season twelve out of sixteen, and Moore scored the fifth extra point on a pass. 105 Journeying to Latrobe the following Friday night the Bobcats were decisi-vely beaten by St Vincent College 19-0 The Bearcats, led by Detzel, had 17 first downs to Wesleyan ' s 6 The Rossmen were definitely below par although Glod, Small, and Donley turned in good performances The Bearcats scored in the first, second, and last periods and gained 292 yards to the Rossmen ' s 132 On November 7 and more than half the continent from home, the Methodists lost to Miami by a score of 34-0. The game, played in the Orange Howl before 20,000 fans and in 80 degree heat, saw the Hurri- canes scoring fi e times and converting four extra points. Kosko returned to the line-up, but Pound- stone received injuries which kept him on the bench for the remainder of the season Despite the score, the team and the college could well be proud of the players ' conduct and performance Playing under lights on their own field for the first time, the ' Cats dropjied a close 7-0 decision to the Waynesburg Yellow Jackets The first half went scoreless. But early in the third quarter Waynes- burg reached pay dirt Twice the Methodists had the Jackets back in the shadows of their own goal posts, but seemingly lacked the scoring punch The annual Turkey Day affair with Marshall College at Huntington was cancelled because of differences of opinion on the use of Freshmen, and so the season ended with three wins, four losses, and one dead-lock. 106 FOOTBALL Beer, James Bond, James Brown, Rector Bush, Forest DeMarco, Gerald Donley, Charles Feola, Frank Foehr, George Forinash, Adam Glod, Paul Gruver, Charles Gwosden, Sammy Haas, Hob Huntz, Joseph Jones, William Koskd, Edward Kulnis, John Marker, David Moore, Jack Noeera, Victor Poundstone, Charles Pugh, William Roussos, Socrates Small, Paul Spessard, James Steele, Donald Stewart, Clyde Sutter, Lee Uhlar, Charles Wilfong, Carl Young, Richard Center End Tackle tUiard Back Center Back Tackle Tackle Back Tackle End CJuard Tackle CUiard End Back Back End End Back Back Tackle Guard Back End Guard Guard Back Back Back WlPfl lUiKJ Top to bottom: Foehr, Hiintz. 1 Nocpra, Marker, Uhlar.

Other wins were scored over Davis and Elkins, Bethany, and West Virginia Tech, twice, while splitting two games with Waynesburg, Alderson-Broaddus, Fairmont, Glenville, Marshall, and Morris Harvey. The Bobcats swept a single victory from West Liberty and lost twice to West Virginia University. At the beginning of the second semester. Coach Ross found fate against him as he lost three squad members in the persons of Sammy Gwosden, Jack Moore, and Mickey Glod. Neither flinching or complaining, the Bobcats, led by Frank Feola and Frank Ellis, clawed their way through the remaining games to a fitting climax by a decisive win over Morris Harvey For the third consecutive year, Wesleyan played host to the West Virginia Intercollegiate Tourna- ment In the tri-finals Morris Harvey fell before the fighting Bobcats 74-45.

Touch football started the sports season for the men last fall with teams from each class participating The Seniors went through the tournament play without a loss; the Freshmen won one, lost one; the Sophomores won one, lost two; and the juniors lost two encounters. Members of the championship team were Shaw, Parsons, Lhnpleby, Sleeth, Hassler, Chamber- lain, Stump, Morrison, Hicks, Bennett, and Morgan At the end of the play-offs, the Intramural Board selected an all-tournament squad of out- standing players Those so honored were Ellis and Oldaker, Ends; R. C. Brown and C. Hicks, Guards; Pertz, Center; Shaw, Glo ' ver, Morrison, and Myers, Backs.

Brown. When snow forced the intramural program indoors, the Seniors again pro ed formidable in competition. They were easy victors in the volleyball tourney, though rivalry was keen Members of the winning team were Morgan Beer, Shaw, Umpleby, Morrison, and Burner Among the women ' s events, field hockey claimed first attention, with the Juniors whack- ing the puck to a championship. Members of this team were Annabelle Alkire, Captain, Roberta Roberts, Grace Brown, Harriet Jane Wells, Cathryne Hardesty, Elizabeth Barlow, June Tamblyn, Yalta Curry, Jean Hedden, Ruth Duncan, and Mary Channel!

Nor do we expect you to be aware ot these things — tor it is our aim to provide you with dependable, low cost electric service so efficiently that you take it tor granteci. But today, all of us are being callei.1 upon to shoidder aiUled burdens, to assume added responsibilities. Our nation ' s tremendous war effort has called tor greatly in- creased power output — to keep tactories and mills lighted day and night, to run the machines that make the guns and planes and .ships that will win the war. The electric service companies of the nation are meeting these increased power demands — and you ma he sure that we will continue to meet them.

There is a code, however, that stands the tests of wars. It is the code of decency, of intelligent thought, of action motivated by unquestioned impulses, of determination to do one ' s part thorough- Iv and completely. TMs company, with scores of college men and women in its rants, as uell as in executive positions, follows that code in its public and private affairs. With your help, electric power wilt greatly assist in winning the war and the peace to follow. We welcome your cooperation in everything affecting our com- mon interests.
