It is the college where one learns to live — where studies and lite go one way together. The future challenges its youth of spirit. It must grow. It must become greater and letter to live up to the faith of those who know it. And the faith of those people must always continue to be a challenge to W esleyan.

Chapter I This is a story of Wesleyan, a story of a small group of people living in the truest American ' way. Beyond that lull and across the water there were battlefronts burning blood like ml. Here, too, there were battle- fronts. Here heroes fought long, quiet wars to maintain those things for which the soldiers die. Students they are called — inadequately. Truly, they are guards. As ' wardens they watched through day and night to see that none of the American freedoms might disappear. Through the telescopes of education they kept their eyes on the institu- tions that are good. For want of praise, at times, they nearly fainted . This is a silent tear — unpublished and unsung, fought without a decla- ration and lasting beyond an armis- tice. That tomorrow might be a fit place in which to live when today is done, they fire with all their courage and charge with all their daring. They came to be teachers, doctors, nurses; lawyers, merchants, cooks; chemists, statesmen, wives; sailors, churchmen, and writers. They came to live and work and play together 1 REGISTERING WITH STEELE: M I i don, B. Lawson. that they might learn to live and work and play together with all the world tomorrow. They came. They took up their books, heir test tubes, their pens, and began to work. They retook old f runts and regained lost grounds. Here is a story of a Wesley an year. It teas a great year but little greater than any other. The problem were different, perhaps, but the spirit was the same. There were comedies and tragedies, happiness and sad- ness, play and work. Then, too, there was a little more seriousness. The war railed here, and there had to be answers. And this is how it hap- pened: On September 1 1, 1942, freshmen began to appear on the campus. In- quisitive, curious, and a bit fright- ened at the experience, they gathered together — changing but slowly from individuals to a group. Student Union guides met them at the buses and trains, and counselors welcomed them to the campus. Feeling at home, however, proved to he not so much a matter of friendship and advice as a matter of time. It was a busy week. There were examinations, and what examinations — that tested every- thing from what one knew down to one ' s vocabulary. And there was A VISIT WITH VYLESWORTH: K P..-.- Mout. A Mo i-.

The sessions with the advisers were a bit disconcerting, for preconceived ideas about pro- fessors began to break down. They were human after all. They seemed willing to help and to listen. The picnics were the best of all. That afternoon in Jackson ' s grove was the goodby to home and the hello to this new world. Even other fresh- men suddenly came alive.

Reger. really caught the spirit of the new- comers until almost without thinking or planning they staged one of the shows of the year — in their own name. It was a strange show — a mix- ture of everything that they said was W esleyan — ami thev called it Ameri- can Wesleyan. AI Boyles with Willie on his knee brought a new art to the campus; l)c Sales Purkev ' s voice joined the long tradition of good music at Wesleyan; ami Mary Jane Conley read Patterns. Yes, W es- leyan had gained something when these youngsters came — and they were just representative of the whole group. Then Freshman Week was over. It had not been college. That was soon to be seen. It had made college easier. It had been the change from one thing to another — and not at all unpleasant. The Student Union was at work from the very b eginning. Here was an organization that was scarcely a year old. Nancy Goodwin, the presi- dent, was there to meet the train. Ami when it came to planning and staging of parties, Jack McDonald stepped even beyond his office as executive secretary to make the whole campus the sort of place one likes to live on. An organization nt all the students and faculty is one thing. A working organization of such pro- portions is another. This group de- termined to give the students recre- ation of the best sort — ami a recrea- tion center. There has been the finest democratic spirit growing out of the dancer and parties. The Student Union PX is a success. W esleyan owes a great debt to Nancy Goodwin, Jack McDonald, Curtis Thome, Jerome Brown, Robert Reger, Hank Ellis, Kathleen Judy, Betty W illiams, and Mary Lib Harper for the work they have done. They ' ve sold hot dogs at the football games. They ' ve peddled Coca Cola. They ' ve crusaded for the Union and got what everyone wanted. And thanks go to Dr. Hyma for the dream. A college in action is a great machine. The parts of the machine seem scarcely to belong to each other — and yet each interdependent part makes the whole run smoothly.

One is awed by the dignity of the Dean, who seems to be the chief engineer. That beneath his dignity there is kindness is soon evident. Re- sponsibilities seem to collect about him. Dr. Lambert does not shirk responsibilities. He seems to welcome them along with the friendship of all the students. Freshmen found themselves col- lecting old scrap metal to further the salvaging campaign of the govern- ment. From the old well, they drew no old oaken bucket. They drew out the pump itself and carted it away to that mounting stack of trouble for the Axis. It was a duty. It was hard STUDENT COUNCIL u Hudson, K- Roberts, C. P.ist, H.

That adds to the respect one hold-, for a fellow-student these days. He was president ot the A K Pi frater- nity. He even waited tables in the dormitory in his spare time. Strange thing, too, he never seemed to he too busy to he friendly. And he was typi- cal of that student body governing board.

It has a big job, governing the whole student body and cooperat- ing with the faculty in the plans and task-- of the college. Kenny Knox was the president of the 1 942-4 ! Stu- dent Council. He had the respect of everyone on the campus. Besides being the president of the student body, he was just about everything else, too. He was one of our star l ii.i Hughi ■ ' i Kccd, 10 ihc Dean, i L-urer. miih bk ■n «| | Goodwin, Charles Post, Bill Hudson, and John Kalafat. That ' s the list. And others had duties around the college. Take the office force, for instance. Not many would envy the johs that Cornelia Hughes and Mary Gould and Annie Frances Reed had to do. They did them, though — and they did them well. Is the President in? How much do I still owe the colleger What are my mid- semester grades: To G.G. N. A freshman girl is usually rather proud of herself. She has come a long way. She has accomplished much. The very fact that she is in college makes her prefer not to look up to anyone, unless it he to a very tall anil handsome young man. But every girl looks up to G. G. N. It ' s just that Mrs. Neil is the sort of person one admires. There is dignity about her. There is poise and charm and culture. Any dean of women earns many nicknames. She knows from the very beginning that to do her duty is to merit criticism of an unpleasant as well as pleasant sort. Rut never has Grace Gardner Neil had a nickname that did not carry with all else a great measure o,f affec- tion. That means that there is charac- ter there — unforgettable character and charm. It was a pleasure to watch her at work — so varied are her inter- ests and her tasks. From the moment she shook hands with her girls for the first time, she was surprising them with the variety of her talents. It seemed that it was a full time job for anyone to teach all of the sophomores to speak well — at least, it appeared that way to a freshman. But then, there she was conducting receptions, pouring tea — and coffee — as for- mality would prescribe. She knows how to do the good thing well. Such is the nature of an artist. From a formal reception to Arsenic mid Old Lace. Yes, that ' s Mrs. Neil. That play will never be forgotten by W ' es- leyan. There was skill there. lien it came to discipline, she could make it seem almost pleasant, for there is wisdom in her discipline. To G. G. N. That expresses simply our affection. She was there to see the freshman girl off during her first week and she was there to see her through. Truthfully, she was there to see the whole college through, for loyalty to Wesleyan is tar from the least of her virtues. And now to get back to school. Just where it began, it is hard to remember, but suddenly everyone was caught in the midst of it. The classes seemed a little strange at first — so strange, in fact, that they were hard compared to those of high school. If there was any homesick- ness, it was largely a homesickness for the ease of the classes one knows in the public schools. English, botany, chemistry, U. S. history, Bible, eco- nomics, physical education, algebra — all names one had known before, but never had anyone known for what they stood. That ' s college for you — full of surprises and not always pleasant ones. Then came the fall convocation. The new president addressed the stu- dent body for the first time. From the platform he was no stranger. He was the person one had met in the halb. He already knew one ' s first name. He was the one who moved about so smoothly and yet organized so well. That first talk of his was typical. Here was a new idea — a new way of thinking — hard to compre- hend fully because it was new — but it looked good. It looked good for Wesleyan. Now the school really knew where it was going. The year had begun. Whatever one may do later, one doesn ' t rest back in one ' s chapel seat during the first convocation. There is much to be heard. There is much to be seen. But there is even more to be felt. Here for fifty-three years students have sat and listened to chapel programs at least three times a week. There on the back of the scat is the name of a college president. Beside it is the name of one of the greatest of professional football players. That name is not familiar. She may be a housewife. That man is preaching somewhere in Pitts- burgh. She is a teacher. )ne won- ders who put that gum under the seat. It ' s certainly been there for five years. The cocky sophomore who made a group of freshman sing on the steps of the Administration Building seems innocent enough now. He ' ll be all right, but it takes time to get used to FORMAL DINNER AT AGNES HOWARD HALL him. And the study of phrenology becomes a pastime for the girls. hen the boys get their military haircuts, their heads are suddenly revealed as knobby and odd. Perhaps criminals are not really as ugly as they seem. It may just be the hair- cuts that give them that wild and dangerous appearance, bar up front sit the seniors. It must be a strange and good feeling to think that one is nearly through. They never act as though it were an honor, but one doesn ' t doubt that they feel it. Later, the freshmen had their own assembly. It was then they elected their clas-, officers. It seemed to be just as it should be. There were people in that class who were already proving that they were admin- istrators. Bill Kincaid was made president. He was soon hard at work. Kyle Swisher was vice presi- dent; Sue Ashby, secretary, and Gene Gaston, treasurer. It was a smooth election, too. Of course, Dick Workman ' s ticket was not chosen, but he didn ' t take it too hard. One ot the favorite hobbies of a freshman is joining. There are enough things about the campus to keep an ambitious freshman busy for one whole semester if he just spends his spare time in nothing else but joining. There were the religious or- ganizations, the YWCA, the Min- isterial Association, and the Student Volunteers. There were the clubs — the Betty Lamp, the Pan American Chain, the International Relations Club. One can have his choice of many others, too. But the most em- barrassing task of all was making up Back row: E. Turner, V. Warner, W. Watts. Front row: M. B D. G I ' Mo , M Bi i«n, J- Bartlett, C. Steele. one ' s mind about the fraternities or sororities. They all seemed to be all right when one looked in on them. Chapel is the right place for reverie — among other things. There ' s no place where it is likely to go better. With only a month or two behind him, the college student is baffled at the maze of experience that is his to recall. Surely it would be hard for an old man to concentrate on anything. The fear one knew when lie first came to Wesleyan is gone. In its place is a strange familiarity with all of it. One feels more of pity than sympathy for the stranger on the campus. He has missed it all. Climactic moments seem to abound in a college. There had been that first theme in Knglish composition.

A normal per- son never said that much except when he was talking. The six-weeks quizzes again put one in awe of the in queer tribe of professors. It takes genius to conjure up such questions as they seemed to draw so easily from out of nowhere — certainly not from the textbooks. And there were moments of pure joy. There ' s nothing like a session in Mom ' s Kitchen after a hard day ' s work. Oh, yes, there is one excep- tion — the time when the girl of everyone ' s dreams asks a particular individual to take her to her sorority dance. And there are scenes that linger as typical of the whole group.

To most of the students he was a handsome young fellow with an unusually good voice. Cherkassky played the piano. Gamherelli danced. Suddenly Roecker, Cherkassky, and Gamberelli were all great.

It would be wonderful if Dr. Brown wouldn ' t call on him beyond the point where he had fallen asleep the night before. Tonight there would be the English theme to write, a chapter of history to read, chemistrv to study. There would be the formal dinner at the hall — too much for an ordinary American boy or girl. Be- sides, there would be the date for the coke at the Kitchen. CHAPTER II Qm 2)ay 9t ctiap,p,eHed Allegheny, Marietta, and Rau- dolph-Macon; Monmouth, Bowdoin and De Pauw; Parks, Loyola, Ham- lin — these arc the callages of Amer- ica. Their stones are those of the progress of America, and they are the makers of that progress. Great people have come forth from these institutions not because they are schools, but because they are Chris- tian colleges. It takes something more than an academic education to make a gentleman of a man. From Syracuse, Columbia, Berea, and Johns Hopkins ; from Otterbein, Dickinson, Harvard, and Chicago; from Kalamazoo, Drew, Boston, and Northwestern ; from Kansas, New York, Ohio State, and Pittsburgh come her faculty. Through them the knowledge of the universities and the great traditions of ideas find their ways to students from New York to Ohio. Such is West Virginia Wesleyan, with the traditions and the obliga- tions of the great without the age. One half-century has sufficed for it to take its place. In this half-cen- tury it moves forward even more rapidly under the direction of even greater presidents. 15 Hutchinson, Boyers, Wier, Doney, Fleming, Cutshall, Wark, and Mc- Cuskey have brought West Virginia Wesley an to its present being. With Joseph Warren Broyles it moves on at a pace set by the age. It was only yesterday that Dr. Broyles became the president. Prog- ress would have us believe it -were longer. It happened like this: From various states of the nation came Kern, Straughn, Smith, and McPherson; and from most of the counties of West Virginia came alumni; from famous colleges and universities came representatives; from Buckhannon homes came friends — interested, loyal. Automo- biles surrounded the campus. The people crowded toward the Admin- istration Building to register. Some greeted recent graduates. Others re- newed old friendships. The stu- dents welcomed the whole visiting throng. It was wonderful to live at Wesleyan that day. The doors of the chapel stood open and ready, and it rilled with a rustle and murmur on that November 19 — first in the morning tor Bishop ' s Day Convocation. Bishop Paul Bent- ley Kern of the Nashville area de- livered the address. Again in the afternoon, the crowds gathered for the Inaugural Convocation of Joseph Warren Broyles. The procession of officers, trus- tees, and faculty, gave this occasion a dignified splendor. Dr. Roy Mc- Cuskey, former president of Wes- leyan, was there. Bishop James Henry Straughn of the Pittsburgh area and Henry Wright McPher- son of the Board of Education of the Methodist Church gave ad- dresses. Then Broyles, calm and alert, was inducted into the presi- dency. The expressions of devo- tion, gratitude, fidelity and the pledge of service instilled in stu- dents a desire some day to make Wesleyan proud of her youngest sons and daughters. Atkinson Chapel re- sounded with applause, strong, loud, ami long. The robed choir sang. The convocation ended. Today ' s, yester- day ' s and even tomorrow ' s Wesleyan- ites went to the reception. The ninth president had been inaugurated. Impressive and exciting was the dedication of the home economics cottage. This recently completed building shone with brightness ami newness. Alumni envied the fortu- nate girls who would live in it, and some students were a bit dubious as to whether their choices of majors had been correct. Numerous home- makers of America would step from that doorway. Miss Edna Jenkins alumna and donor of the cottage, was there, pleased and satisfied. She en- joyed seeing the girls happy in an- ticipation of the experiences await- ing them. esleyan owes much to such people as she. 16 For tlie barbecue luncheon in the gymnasium, professors laid aside their briefcases and notes to don chef ' s caps and aprons, to carve pork, tn serve guests and students graciously. It was the largest dinner ever held at Wesleyan. Many had to be turned away. Dr. Roy L. Smith, editor of The Christian Ad- vocate proved that he was a master of words, phrases, and forceful and meaningful thoughts. He will long he remembered for that address. faces — new, wrinkled, strange, old, shining, youthful — all appeared at Wesleyan. Floyd N. Shaver, alumni secretary, was most re- sponsible for the gathering of these alumni and friends. His service added much to the success of this ■ ■ momentous day. He appeared here and there — greeting old grads, wel- coming guests, arranging last-minute details, and smoothing complications. Dr. Wallace B. Fleming ' s Alma Mater of the Mountains was joy- ously sung over and over on that day. I Ie has given eslevan labor, service, and support through the long years he has been associated with her. These are only a few of the traits which characterize the vice presi- dent. This day — the day of going and coming, the day of reward and ful- fillment, Bishop ' s Day, reception, dedication, inauguration, home-com- ing, was many in one, a day not soon to he forgotten. The new eslevan seemed to be already in the making. The atmosphere was that of the he- ginning of something big and dy- namic. 17 CHAPTER III Jlauil Pel Week Like islands in a misty sea, they scan. Here is biology, there is his- tory; here is art, there is economics; here is philosophy, there is chemistry — islands, distinct in outline. And there are many more equally distinct in outline. But the pattern is vague if there is a pattern — or else the ele- vation is tuo great. Clouds and fogs and mists distort the light rays or blot them out at times. Then with one swoop of the mind, the pilot passes beneath the clouds. It takes but an instant of his time — and there is history and biology linked by a neck of land into a con- tinent as it were. And commerce lies nearer music than one would, have judged. With one ore dip beneath the mists, the scene is clear. The archi- pelago is one great and vast ocean patterned in beauty and in truth. A student is a pilot exploring the universe, coming upon a new world fro far above the clouds. His job is to chart for himself the zap that he is to carry with him for life. Ex- acting is the task. He must note the bay of friendship, the isle of pleasure, the sea of experience, and the straits of society. Before he leaves, he must plot the route carefully that he ay return when he will, with happiness as the ode of travel and not the destination. 19 Suc i were the explorers and the discoveries at Wesleyan in 1942-43. To say that either were greater than those of other years might be unfair. To sax that all -were great is to he just. A mi this is how it happened: The outside world, a world of unrest, made the student want to identify himself with a particular niche of it, a niche where he could bring his greatest efficiency to the fore, a niche where he could learn to serve mankind. Some found this niche in home economics. Wesleyan trains its girls for usefulness in fields of many sorts as one eye is kept alert on the ultimate goal ot the happiness of a home. Steaks and rolls and pies came forth from polished ranges. The girls were proud that they were learning to satisfy man ' s tastes. Per- haps each girl wondered how much her particular He would like her rolls or cake. Perhaps Miss Crone- meyer pictured youngsters of the next generation or two growing strong on the recipes and cooking hints she gave out to the girls this year. With the aid of a friend of youth like Miss Edna Jenkins, Wesleyan continued marching forward this year — forward to new attainments and greater training, the kind of which its leaders dream. Twelve senior girl s — a m h i t i o u s on es — learned how much work and fun it is to keep a home in order. They learned of hudgets, meal planning, dusting, and of all the cooperation, planning, and sacrificing that makes living in a house a success. Proud were they of that home for those six weeks — red brick, fresh white walls, polished floors, a new piano, and best of all, a cozy fireplace for winter nights. An experience into life, they had, these Wesleyan female pioneers of 1943, for — . I 1BI IRATI R B M. Hymcs, D. William . L. Flanagan, I Pronl I F ' trd, M. Hammer, M Wh E. Harmer, B. Marshall, M. R«d. 20 New to the West Virginia es- leyan campus is the beautiful home economics practice house. There the girls live. They do their own sweep- ing, cooking, laundering, and bed- making — until they are as proficient as the best of housekeepers. And in the sewing lab, many an afternoon is spent, stitching profes- sional-like suits and dresses for class and church. Flat fellseams — french scams — overcasting seams. Back stitches — running stitches — button- hole stitches. Humming softly as she works, smiling at the latest moron joke, realizing she is learning to take her place in the world of the near future, this is Wesleyan ' s home ec girl.

They will stop from life ' s onrushing whirl to sense again that spark of joy, to see once more the comrade of those years gone hy, to study for the hun- dredth time the kindly face of that ces Jean Horner, with their staff, have recorded. This is what inspired Mr. Steele with ideas, as adviser. This gave Lorence Brown an outlet for his busi- ness ability. It was this college life that fascinated Fred Stuart and his Back i «: M.

Typing frantically to make a Friday deadline, no pausing to search his brain for that phrase he needed, no hunting for the handbook to learn the spelling of a name — this was the reporter. Each Pharos edition took hours and hours of time. Every edition dis- tributed at the chapel doors was read during the next period in the library or glanced at, furtively, throughout a lecture class. Night after night one could see the light from the print shop. And always there was Editor-in-chief Cecil Gabriel at work again. The state Intercollegiate Press Association elected him their president. News editor Frank Madden al- ways knew just what was happening. Second niw : V. Casey, B. Simons, R. Hoffman. D. Gabriel, G.

Norman Sahlit saw sports action. This was the forty-third year of the Pharos, and its best, for good student journalists filled the position. Yes, these, too, were niches, niches of a variety not termed just plain work. Here Wesleyanites learned before America herself the greatest lesson in happiness. They learned that work is not by definition un- pleasant, that success in the search for contentment and satisfaction de- pends upon doing well what one likes most to do. The happy man is the one whose work is his recreation. M Hymes, C. rucker, W. Hudson. F. Madden. First row S .nks. Not pictm 1 nders, I Coulter, I Slua -, Fl ming, S.

I n the lead on the literary side, as always, was Dr. Chrisman, professor of English and an outstanding per- sonality on Wesleyan ' s campus. He is one to be remembered by students throughout their lives. In the mind of this great teacher are hundreds of those little anecdotes which keep stu- dents interested and laughing. Dr. Chrisman has the true spirit of Wesleyan. He is a scholar with unusual insight into the minds of the makers of the world ' s great litera- ture. His insight, his unusual per- sonality, his knowledge lett their marks on those who sat in his classes this year. He is also a preacher, an author, a scholar, and American. Students and faculty authors this year produced an anthology, an anthology of original compositions, published by the Haught Literary Society and edited by Reva Stump and Marguerite Hymes. Inexperi- enced and experienced alike here found a new means of speaking to and for esleyan. Sixteen girls compose the Haught Literary Society.

To wander there mentally or physically, is always a pleasure. It was just an ordinary day in the library but there Andy Pavlina stood at one end of the reading room, se- lecting a newspaper from the group of nationally famous dailies and local weeklies. Charles Post opened a heavy dictionary on the window sill. Mary Lib Whittaker scanned col- umns of the Ranter ' s Guide for titles of magazine articles which would help her with an assignment in public speaking. Dr. Chrisman reached for the newest copy of Harper ' s Magazine. One could be sure that he would refer to it in his next class. Freshmen, hard at work on the first research paper, crowded about the card catalog. One small blonde. Anna Lee Wood, climbed on a chair to select a volume of Encyclopedia Britannica. Yes, freshmen were at work on research themes. Magazines, note cards, books, and bibliography cards were before them. Sophomores, more dignified than ever, looked up from a philosophy report to help a freshman rind his needed article from among the hundreds of bound magazine volumes on shelves around the read- ing room. Professor Karickhoff examined the books on the faculty shelf. Dr. Glauner ' s eye was on some squirrels out of doors. The room was a maze of lamps and tables. ( )ne could hear Mrs. Curry as she bustled around back in the stacks. She would be cataloguing, arranging, and filing endlessly — keeping the library efficient and neat in spite of all its complexities. Miss Hathaway smiled as she handed to Hill Douglas Storm from the new-fiction shelf and disappeared to put returned books in their mysteri- ous spots. LIBRARY SCENI Mis.

Without a doubt they know the fun and the joy of living as they play — but that is not all. They play that they can work, better. They exercise their bodies that their minds will be clearer and capable of more intense concentration. They compete that they may learn the laws of sportsmanship — and the ways of people. They work that they may improve the health and support the activities of their bodies at their most efficient pace. It ' s not learning from textbooks. It ' s learning from life. Archery — ping P on g — bad- minton — hockey — basketball — volleyball — soccer — ring tennis — shuffleboard — intramurals for fun and fitness. Health, vitality, sportsmanship — these are the goals of Wesleyan ' s physical education department. 26 These were the thoughts Miss Covert impressed on the girls; Mr. Reemsnyder, on the men. Miss Covert caused the girls of Wesleyan to wish her class would meet more often. Dave Reemsnyder made his hoys appreciate the term sportsmanship. He coached the basketball team, and bid his players goodbye as, one by one, they were called to military service. DAW. REEMSNYDER M K ' , AKI ] f COV] K I Wesleyan ' s Women ' s Athletic As- sociation answered the challenge for wholesome fun. for health, for vigor, with their hobo party, dances, and scavenger hunts. Herb Sharp and his Olympic Club offered another answer to the chal- lenge for healthful recreation. Twice a month they met for games, skills, folk dancing, tumbling, and friendly competition. Each member had a sport that he liked best and played his best. :: ft i b P Lerr ALPHA P I OMEGA, honorary dramatic organization. C. Winans, H. Whetsell, Mrs. G. G. Neil, director M. Hymes, F.

He was also the adviser of Pi Kappa Delta, honorary fraternity for debaters at Weslevan. The open door to the art depart- ment revealed an easel, and a girl, Virginia Lea Sturm, was at work.

Still it reached many music lovers and friends. It sang before the hun- dreds present in Clarksburg on the Sunday of the Methodist conference. It sang for Inauguration Day in November. Then came the big day — the Sunday before Christmas. Up side aisles, the girls were lead- ing — then down the center aisle, two by two, carrying lighted candles — calm beauty of the Christmas spirit set to the music of Handel and Bach. Freshmen had marveled at the fall beauty of the campus — green, red, golden-leaved trees — oaks, maples, spruce and more. Squirrels half- hidden in piles of fallen leaves would suddenly spring and then run to the tops of trees. There had come an early frost. Thanksgiving inter- rupted the college world for several CHRISTMAS 1IMF days. There were fewer week-end trips when gasoline rationing began De- cember 1 , but students realized that things could be worse. Then came the thrill of trampling through that first deep snow on campus walks, running a trail on the tennis courts and leaving the large inscription, Wesleyan. History students ' eyes wandered to the huge green pine just outside the window — its green boughs weighted with soft, white snow — hut still pointed toward the sky.

Night and Curt accompanied — Curt whose hands were as skilled in chemistry experiments as in playing the pipe organ. Christmas parties — the choir had cokes, doughnuts, dancing — the co- op girls exchanged gifts ahout their tree and fireplace — Agnes Howard Hall ' s party was impressive, yet merry as ever — Sigma Delt informal in the gym made it more fascinating than one thought a gym could he — and again the gym was beautiful for the Student Union party, a party and dance greater than ever, for Santa found his way to it. Religious groups, the K.A. ' s, A. K. Pi ' s, and Kappa Phi ' s sang Christmas carols. One group of carolers claimed their night to be as cold as 1 2 below. Holiday greetings were called across the halls, between the campus walks. Vacation time had come, and taxis were filled with students en route to meet the buses. Christmas held a tinge of loneli- ness for those with soldier-beaux or brothers. The seriousness of the time inspired many on their return to study — to learn the most they could — to make all A ' s on approaching ex- aminations so that perhaps they, too, could become members of that in- tellectual group — the honor students of Sigma Alpha Sigma. 33 CHAPTER IV kete Middle IfeaU Without the drama of the begin- ning or the end) the middle years are the fulcrum upon which all rests. Continuity or growth, the surest way to accomplishment, hangs by a thread through the months. For these are tin ' years of decision.

He tries a shortcut and finds a better highway than the one charted on the map. No more sophomoric than the world in which they live, no younger than the civilization of which they are a part, they accept the names graciously and make them names to be respected and admired. Remove the world from the hands of the so- called seniors and place it in these hands while they are still young and the responsibility would keep them young until the world would again be proud to be called by its name. This year seemed like the middle of wmething. There was nothing of a sensation of a beginning about it; nothing of the import of an end . It was momentous with the force of something approaching a climax — and Hist as vague. 55 Back row I) Wilson, O. Rains, C. Tuckci Front TOM : B Williams, S, Sparks. Through silent winter months the school moved with the surety of a step in daylight. And students moved on through strange emotional chaos. And this is how it happened: Christmas vacation, final speeches, philosophy reports — school work; late buses, gasoline rationing, the calling of the reserves — world events — and they kept in tune with them all. With minds alert, although it was dark as midnight outside, Sally and Clarabelle, after cereal and toast, became the watchdogs of the drawing room radio. They took in the seven-thirty news. Yes, they all had a linger in the Wesleyan pie. Nurse Wilson vended pink and white pills in countless dozens. Somehow Dixon found time to schedule pic- tures, and Betty Williams sold in- numerable hot dogs for the Student Union. Periodically, new students joined the gang in January, Febru- ary, March, and May. They all learned to go to school in the dark a la war time — and dine in the sun.

Not only did it give them the early morning news hut it broad- cast tlie late music as well. The gang liked to gather around before ten-twenty and tap out the rhythm. Hut they were serious — these middle- of-the-roaders — and between classes and in the later afternoon, they gathered on the steps outside the ad building and the dorm to discuss lec- tures and tests.

Oh, the trials and tribulations in the life of a hell girl ' ( )rganic, psychology, trig, choir, sociology, poetry writing — they all keep the girls from clustering around the grand piano, from clapping their hands, from beating on the lamp shade. Any uniformed man ' s morale would certainly have risen could he have heard the girls ring out on the Marine ' s hymn, the song of the Army Air Corps, Anchors Aiveigh. 38 And wasn ' t it Janora — sweet little soul — who said, I ' ll give you just forty-five minutes to get your hand off my knee: The girls wonder if she caught the measles that way, or by doing buhhle dances in the shower. V is the custom, grades went home at the end of the semester. It was then that Mrs. Sommerville charted a schedule tor daughter, Joan, and roommate, Jean. Rise at six o ' clock, shower, dress, make beds, and go to breakfast; classes, lunch, classes, dinner, studv, and then to bed early, of course. If they had all had schedules like that, Mom might have had to take the Kollege out of Kitchen (but she didn ' t have to). They hail a little room stacking, too. Typical of a dormitory, isn ' t it — not being used for what it was intended: It was Debar who first worked out on the rooms on second floor. Hut she had not reckoned with the ingenuity ot the freshmen, for the job they did on Debar ' s room was a studv in surrealism without the Dali.

After their move to Schoolcraft ' s former residence, the Junior Girls ' Comb Band gave concerts every sec- ond week. Theirs was a varied reper- toire — of at least five symphonies.

Hear that hum and buzz: That ' s just the new dive bomber technique developed by the girls of the Junior House. They thought it was very appropriate since the Army Air Corp had moved in — and, besides, it was the only way to get into bed when three of the said havens of re t were lined up against one wall. The mili- tary objective was bed — the pro- cedure was to stand against the op- posite wall, give a running jump, and try to land in one ' s own bed. 39 Top row: Willis Summers, Man Ruth Evans, Lonnie H inkle, Betty Erickson.

The juniors, too, welcomed new- students, among them a Commodity from Way Down East — Maladjust- ment by nickname. They told the freshmen what was on sixth floor of the dorm. Just go up to the drying room, girls, then on up the steps to the sixth floor. We take our sun baths up there in the winter time.

Moral: To be popular in Agnes Howard Hall, have food, even if it is for sale; especially if it isn ' t. Oh, keeper of the moon — What a beautiful thought expressed by Poet Reva Stump. Yes, they have talent — plenty of it — and they know how to use it. In the hands of these middle-of- the-roaders, the sophomores and juniors, the older ones leave the reign. They have longed for the chance to show their true abilities, to show of what stuff they are really made. Next year, two ten-twenties and two elevens, says the sophomore girl, tour ten-twenties and two elevens — savs the junior.

Witk you They all speak. They all speak in affection, respect, and appreciation. The tall blonde senior from New York said, This hour with you has been the sice lest Pve ever known. I only hope, dear, that it has meant as much to you. The flippant young thing from Pittsburg , Ain ' t it great, I got a roommate like you? Til never forget it. Gee, even this hour with you lias been enough to — Jean, from Washington, said, You certainly are a grand bunch of fellows. This is the most beautiful dance Pve ever none to. And this hour with you — The athlete from Charleston, said , Prof., I don ' t know how to say it right, but this hour with you — well, thanks. And he left with one tear in his eye. The playboy from Newark said, I wouldn ' t take anything for my ex- periences with this fraternity. Even this hour with you fellows — After the class, the all-too-serious student from Akron said, Professor, this hour with } ' each day really makes life worth living. The girl from Norfolk said, ' 7 hope y ' all like me up lieah. Ah lak it all. Even this hour with you in church is somethin ' diff ' rent. ' They all speak. They all speak in affection, respect, and appreciation. Familiar is the phrase. One hears it at every place where two or more people get together. In the students has grown the finest sense of social values. And this is how it happened: 47 DORMITORY GIRLS DISCUSS THEIR BOY FRIENDS In an atmosphere of powder puffs, text books, stuffed animals, note cards, study lamps, and pictures of the boy friends, live the girls of Agnes Howard Hall. This is their home for nine months of the year. Here they work and play, govern themselves and live with others. Each girl lives independently, yet she assumes an active role in a dynamic society.

Hubner. sophomore repre- . ice president; L. DeBar, junior representatire. 48 They did real work in those rooms. They enjoyed real play there, too. A dark-haired girl comes in at eleven o ' clock with a fraternity pin bright against her blouse. Other girls gather around her, sharing, and nourishing her happiness. Someone brings out cookies, another furnishes crackers and cheese. They talk, laugh, and weep. That was lite in Agnes Howard Hall. And that was life in the four dor- mitories after the girls gave their school homes to the Army Air Corps in February. The girls elected their own gov- erning board which established and enforced rules and directed the social i.l M K KFFOC T C. DRUMMOND activities of the whole group. Each new dormitory also had its officers. All the girls knew Zickie and Drummie. Did you hear about the moron who cut off his left side in order to be all right? Zickie — even the mail of Mrs. Gem Zickefoose is addressed, Zickie — must have laughed at and told hundreds of moron — and other —jokes in 1943. Zickie was the cook for Agnes Howard Hall. She had a hard time getting enough good, healthful food for her girls, but she did it. Good cooking, deep, ready laugh, motherly comfort — that is Zickie. The work of Mrs. Drummond, housekeeper of Agnes Howard Hall and supervisor of the Co-op House, was probably harder in 1943 than in any other year. First the government girls came, and that meant more work. Then the air corps arrived, 49 and the girls had to leave their Hall. Mrs. Drummond had a great moving day in that last week, of February, but she smiled and laughed with the girls, she looked up from her packing to wink. Mrs. Drummond, house- keeper of Agnes Howard Hall, was pretty in rose crepe formal, and effi- cient in crisp printed cotton. She was kind, gentle, smiling. The girls of the Co-operative House appreciated Mrs. Drum- mond ' s supervision. They say that she aided a great deal in the develop- ment of that fine cooperative spirit which has characterized the Co-op House from the start. Yet it was the girls themselves who really made this experiment work. Mary Christie- Mann, president; Margaret Greg- ory, treasurer; Leona Barnes, secre- tary; and Mary Louise McWhorter, social chairman, made the wheels go around smoothly. All of the girls worked. They planned their meals, did housework, splashed from the washing machine to the piano, then back again to another household task. Through it all they had a sense of humor. They had to have a sense of humor to have a sense of cooperation. They made life in the Co-op House a first-rate part of the social life of Wesleyan. That social life at Wesleyan cer- tainly calls for reference to the soror- ities and fraternities. Not every stu- dent belongs to one of them — not every student should — but they form an important phase of the Wesleyan scene. Second ro« v Cuey, M. Hammer, s Ashby, McMilli ' . Yerkey, L. Ban C.

They did the work themselves. Proudly they dis- played their new decorations on October 30 and danced and played pool and ping-pong with their girl friends. Seven active members of the Sigma Eta Delta found it inadvisable to continue with a fraternity of their own. Sam Kyle, Jerome Brown, Hob Roberts, Don Taylor, Allen Cut- right, Larry Marquess, and Ed O ' Hara joined the AKPi ' s in De- cember. Fifteen other men were pledged, given a party, then made to walk to Danny Fidler ' s home in Arlington and return and to bring in anything from skunks to live birds for a scavenger hunt during Hell Week.

Pledges were entertained with a tea and later with a Turkey Trot at the Lion ' s Den with live gobblers for decoration. The preps gave a Christ- mas party for the actives. The girls exchanged gifts, received tiny angel favors, and chose Blanch Howell as Model Prep. At the formal initiation each new member received a bouquet of sorority flowers. At the Sweetheart Formal on Feb- ruary 26, each couple stepped through a seven-foot heart to get to the dance floor. Professor Hyma and Miss Boette led the grand march.

In May, the Kappa Phi ' s closed their year with a formal dinner honoring senior members. Si Sigma Delta Chi, founded in 1921, was the first organization of its kind on Wesleyan ' s campus — colors, orchid and silver — flower, violet. Starting off its season, the sorority entertained the feminine faculty members and the faculty members ' wives with an afternoon tea on September 29. A Stage Door Canteen was held in October in the gym- nasium. All those who attended brought gifts to be sent to men in the service. The sorority contributed a second war bond to the Student Union Building fund. To the wide open camping spaces — in the gymnasium the members took preps on the Gypsy Frail in November. Mrs. Hugh Kelso was elected new sorority mother. The annual winter semi-formal in honor of the preps patriotically took place in the gymnasium. A record player provided the music. The mu- sicians were stuffed dummies made by actives. The money saved went into the hind furnishing milk for needy children. Afterwards, the hetsell- Meek- Wells suite gave a party for dormitory members. Preps pledged formally in March. In March, President Whetsell entertained members of the sorority with a buffet supper in the home eco- nomics practice house. SIGMA DEI. I .

Bacon, eggs, coffee, doughnuts — plenty of these breakfast foods were furnished hy Sigma Pi ' s for girls of all sororities at City Park on the morning of October 3. Later that month the Sigma Pi ' s honored their new sponsor, Miss Cornelia Hughes, with a candlelight dance at the Lion ' s Den and feted their rushees with an Autumn Festival — a formal dinner at Baxa ' s, a program and dancing at Ye Olde Barn. The favors were chrysanthemum tiaras and gold bracelets. Thirteen girls were pledged at a candlelighting service at the home of Mrs. Heyward Williams with each receiving a pink rose. The preps were guests of honor at a Christmas party at Mrs. . T. Tay- lor ' s. For their semi-formal on January 25, the Sigma Pi ' s had a Winter Car- nival — one thousand snow flakes falling from the ceiling of the gym- nasium, skis, snowshoes, sleds, skat- ers lining snowbanks, Russian tea and cookies in the T room, and real snow the next morning. Everyone put on her tackiest clothes for the pledges ' tacky party for actives on February 1 9. Formal pledging took place in March.

The Tallagewe organization, founded on Wesleyan ' s campus in 1925, hears an Indian name meaning endless, everlasting. The Tallagewe rushees hunted treasure at their rush party on Octo- ber 28, and Mary Louise Crites found it. New members were pledged at Miss Nellie Drummond ' s home after a theater party. The rain pre- vented the wearing of formal gowns. In November, the actives gave an informal party for the preps, who in turn entertained the actives at a Christmas party where they ex- changed gifts. St. Patrick ' s Day decoration and favors featured the semi-formal banquet and theater party on March 13. Members enjoyed their annual sorority breakfast and a Tomboy picnic and wiener roast in April. Spring flowers, May baskets, mu- sic, evening gowns — the Tillage- wes danced at the Lion ' s Den on May 1. Kappa Phi, Tallagewe, Sigma Delt, Sigma Pi, Kappa Alpha, Alpha Kappa Pi — these were sororities anil fraternities of Wesleyan. These were not the only sisterhoods and brother- hoods of Wesleyan. The Wesleyan family is one family. The Scrap Dance, The Saturday dances, the Masquerade Ball, the Christmas formal — these were for everybody; these were sponsored by the Student Union. Pirate, hat, birthday cake, shep- herd girl, Scotsman, Spanish dancer — everybody and everything, real or imaginary, milled around the gym- 56 nasium floor on Halloween. Henry Metcalf as Frankenstein ' s monster, Mrs. Ogden as Simplicity, and Nordi Gilmore as A well-known character on Wesleyan ' s campus won the costume prizes. By a boiling cauldron, a tall black witch told for- tunes. In the husking bee, Joe Cullings found the red ear and named Jean Floyd queen of the ball. Dr. Broyles gave Queen Jean a bouquet of chrysanthemums and also acted as ring master for the cake walks. As a group, groups, and indi- viduals, Wesleyan had fun in 1943. Hikes, unplanned parties, picnics, field days, basketball games — War-time is sacrifice-time. Throughout the United States, intercollegiate athletics had to make sacrifices to the war effort and Wes- leyan fell into that group of institu- tions which so nobly conceded to the times. Football at Wesleyan was a war casualty. In the past, her men of the gridiron had been often nationally recognized. Wesleyan remembers Saturday afternoon — packed with thrills and excitement when the Bob- cats were in action, bands playing, crowds cheering, grads returning, pleasures no end. Wesleyan regretted the absence of these scenes in 1943. Wesleyan looked forward to the day when the Methodists again would march on the football field instead of the battlefield. Despite the war, basketball re- mained, on a somewhat limited basis. Heretofore the Bobcats had played at least a twenty-game schedule. This year, due to difficulty in transporta- tion, the number had to be reduced. As far as the won and lost col- umn was concerned, the 1943 season could be considered a flop. But when one examines the situation a little more closely he may feel dif- ferently. Not one player received education for participation in ath- letics. Fach paid for tuition and fees and bought his own books. In other words, varsity athletics at Wesleyan were run on a strictly amateur basis and the participants played because they wanted to play and enjoyed playing. In the records, one can see games lost by comparatively close scores which are not recorded in the aforementioned won and lost columns. The fact that the Univer- sity was run into an overtime period is not to be overlooked. Under the capable tutelage of Dave Reemsnyder the Bobcats at times were down but never out. Dave deserves a great deal of credit for his perseverance and patience with a comparatively new and inexperienced group of recruits. Only Mut Brown and Hank PZllis returned 3 R BROWN SEASON RKCORO VVesleyan 47 Fairmont 41 esleyan 41 Alderson-Broaddus 42 esleyan 47 West V... Un. 60 Weslej an 38 Salem 42 A esle) an 50 Wrvt Va.

And C ' het Marshall and Kenny Knox, substi- tutes and lettermen, were the only other hold-overs. Herb Sharp had had some experience his freshman year. Jim Andrick, freshman from Buckhannon-Upshur High School, tit in the number five slot to go with Hank Ellis, Mut Brown, Kenny Knox and Chet Marshall as a starting combination. Rill Brown, Bob Hupp, Harold Ellis and Norman Sahlit were called upon when substitutions were made. Then Harold Ellis and Bob Hupp went to the army, and Chet Marshall to the Navy, and Assistant Manager Eddie Gould was put in uniform. Three games were played before Christmas vacation. In the opener the Bobcats got off on the right foot by defeating Fairmont College, 47- 4!. That same week they fell by a one-point margin to Alderson- Broaddus on the Philippi Court. Then West Virginia University came to Buckhannon but did not leave without getting the scare of their lives. The Methodists held the Mountaineers throughout the game and, with only a few minutes to go before the final whistle, held a five- point lead. Marshall and Frank Ellis were out on personal fouls and Kenny Knox was benched for the whole game with a slight case of blood poi- soning. Taking advantage of the situation, the West Virginians tied up the game and went ahead in the overtime period to win by a thirteen- point margin. Immediately after the holidays the Bobcats dropped three in a row: Salem on the home court by four points, Vest Virginia University at Morgantown and Fairmont College at Fairmont. Then Broaddus traveled to Buck- hannon and the Methodists were in the win once more, 56-44. Of course, it ' s always good to have a winning team; it ' s fine to be right up there on top. But Wesleyan was not on top in scores in 1943. Wes- Ieyan ' s teams have always been known as the fighting Bobcats and despite such a record, despite any record, that name will stand. 59 CHAPTER VI Uti 1i H a£ fyaitlt No beam is necessary for pleasure flying. A ship may detour through the clouds at •will and still come swooping down with a swish of surety. The airlines, though, lay tracks for their craft — tracks as sure as the rails for locomotives. That beam must be there — and every sky- barge must stick to it. When there are certain cargos to carry to definite parts, flying is a serious business. Students know that lives are planes — not bombers, fighters, but cargo ships. And each looks to his own to see that it keeps to the beam. They sax there is no such thing as a frivol- ous pilot. Some stunt, it ' s true, but they stunt positive of th eir powers. That some wreck is inevitable. Spanning the great continent between here and there, many beams are set to chart as many roads. The wisest pilots choose the best of each and take the safest of shortcuts. Religion, knowledge, work, action, service, tolerance, humor, and sympathy — these are the names of the beams. Each is sure and unfailing. The One who set them there insures each traveler. Going to church is not an idle pastime. Serving with the Student Volunteers, working in a laboratory, getting a lesson, or learning to be an engineering aide are not simple pleas- ures. They are work — serious work — keeping to the beam in any weather and on every day. And they all worked at Wesley, in — all of the time — or one time or an- other. The ergs were not measured. They could not be measured, for even science doesn ' t count that far. And this is how it happened : 61 MINISTERIAL Third row: C. Tucker, W. Summers, O. Linger, V. Gainer, H. Ashby, R. Sheehan, R.

Ku ml OGDEN Keeping on the beam called for more than work; they had need of worshiping together, and laughing and singing together; they had need of a deep and genuine fellowship inspired by more than social bonds. And so they joined the Ministerial Association, the Y.W.C.A., or the Student Volunteers. They chose their leaders, friendly, capable, reverent — Melvin Risinger, Barbara Sommer- ville, and Anna King. It was Mel who planned the stu- dent chapel, but it was students in paint-smeared slacks, students who sacrificed long hours to sit and sew, it was they who helped him make Brown Chapel a place for personal devotion, Wesleyan ' s Upper Room. Brown Chapel — yes, they called it that — and it is always unlocked to those who need it, just as Dr. Brown was always ready to help those who came to him for help. He is a true son and friend of esleyan. Wesleyan ' s religious organiza- tions owe much to such leaders as Dr. Brown, Mrs. Ogden, and Profe or Karickhoff. K iipn i i:Kn Mrs. Ogden was interested not only in languages but also in the wel- fare of the people who speak them. And in the scientific study of people, Professor Karickhoff was the leader in his sociology classes. I I VRJ E KARICKHOFF 63 J McDonald, v. Kohlheim, F O ' Hara, M. Whittaker, R Cos- grove, M.

Native of West Virginia, alumnus, true son, and friend of Wesleyan is Dr. Haught. Retired in 1941, he answered Wesleyan ' s call in 1 942 and once more became part of the active faculty. As much a part of Wesleyan as the ivy on her hrick walls and the giant oaks which look down upon her, Dr. Haught has built his life around Wesleyan, and she has built her life around him. Both built well. Student, professor, dean, professor emeritus, then pro- fessor once more — and so his years at Wesleyan go. Yes, they worked to keep on the beam those days. They were seekers after truth, scientists many of them. They spent long hours in laboratories, and the frogs in the dissecting pans became their friends. They joined the Nucleus Club and elected Mary Lib Whittaker as their president and Lois Flanagan, vice president. The nucleus of their club was the green- house but it wasn ' t large enough, so they added more — Judson, archi- tect and constructor — experiments in plant genetics. There were always fresh flowers in Dr. Broyles ' office — flowering maples, amaryllis, Nile lily, daffodils, tulips, jonquils, and sweet peas. They said they had the original fig tree — you know the one — but they wouldn ' t tell how they got it. The Keystoners sponsored a scavenger hunt and they went to the greenhouse for an ant ' s cow. There was the senior girl who picked all the flowers from Judson ' s plant. This was the Nucleus club — selling Christmas trees, growing flowers — seekers after truth, scientists. M ■ W H U ' .ll I 64 Wesleyan graduates are at work in DuPont, Carbon-Carbide, and Westinghouse. In many others of the best laboratories they are busy testing, analyzing, an d carrying on research in every field of modern science. They are known widely for their preparation, their ingenuity, and their character. At Temple, Louisville, North- western, and Maryland; at Rich- mond, Rush, West Virginia, and Johns Hopkins, Wesleyan men and women are working and sacrificing for the M. D. and the chance to serve. One says, I ' m going to be the best heart specialist, or else — An- other, I ' m not as bright as some, but I ' ll make it. I want to be a doc- tor. The noblest of them all says, I don ' t care about specializing. I want to come back to some little town and take care of the common people, the real people. Even the scientist admits that knowing how to do a thing scientifically is not enough. BIOLOGY LABORATORY People demand more than that. Suc- cess demands more than that. A man must also understand people, be moral and ethical, like his work, and have the spirit of accomplishment. Wesleyan scientists are healers — healers of men; and technicians — technicians in the laboratory of life. Their knowledge and their art are one. CHFMISTRY LABORATORY 65 l In 1 S HYMA Experiments — adventure into the world of science — they were directed by able men of Wesleyan. They w : ere directed by men who knew. Dr. Hyma, professor of chemistry, was one of the most popular faculty members. It was he who directed the learning of those students who were to go into the vital jobs so necessarj to win tlic war. Several of his students answered calls to industry. The engineering aides took their new knowledge to their jobs at Wright Field. The Air Corps boys prepared for the great task ahead of them. Dr. Hyma ' s assistants, too, an- swered calls to the advancing world. Carolyn Prince went to Charleston, Curt Thorne to the University of Wisconsin, Johnny Allopenna to the rmv Air Corps, and Jack Mac- Donald to pre-med school. Yet all the while the guiding hand of Dr. Hyma remained steady; Dr. Hyma — professor with the real spirit of Wesleyan — with encourage- ment to his students — ambition to- ward esleyan ' s greater future. Dr. Judson knew about life — in his genial manner lie taught it to biology students. He tilled them with his curiosity to see the work- ings of animals — frogs, turtles, and even cats. He gave students new worlds to explore. Between his excursions to the work shop and his cross-country trips to Indiana he found time to present the facts of life to his eugenics classes. And his list of jokes had the same workmanship and artistry that there- is behind the bedstead he made for hi daughter and the honeyrock melons that he brought hack from hi farm. Yes, they had ether fights in the laboratory. They brought apples and cookies, too — reagents, they called them, just to be proper. But they 66 worked. They joined the Benzene Ring and hacked their president, Curtis Thorne. Hut the end of the semester came, and Curt went to isconsin to be a research technician. Kenny Knox took over. Benzene Ring used the campus for a labora- tory. They talked for days about initiation — blue vitriol tablets, spa- ghetti that didn ' t taste like spaghetti, the kissing machine. Ah, yes, they remembered that. They sponsored Wesleyan On Parade, and the fellows thought that they got a glimpse of the dorm life after dinner — but they didn ' t. Trudy Linger played Dr. Hyma ' s Solovox, and they watched and marveled. They liked good music. It was a part of Wesleyan. They got a laugh out of Jimmy Thomas Andrews and his sisters. There were other laughs, too. They told of the time Trudy was working in the laboratory when it started to rain. Oh, it ' s raining! exclaimed she, as she raised her umbrella. But they worked. They bought the candy and coke machines so that starving students might have a little bite between classes and know the pause that refreshes without going to the Kitchen. They published THE RINC, their club paper. They watched, fascinated, while Johnny Allopenna showed them how to make face cream. The girls said he was very successful.

They crowned the Camphor King and ate their banquet food from watch glasses with spatu- las. But they made camphor. They worked. Benzene Ring, selling candy and coke, making face cream and cam- phor, sponsoring Wesleyan on Pa- rade, and dealing with test tubes — yes, Benzene Ring used the campus for a laboratory. The Haymond Science Hall de- serves a better and more inclusive name. It deserves more purposes than that of just being a home for scien- tific activity. Now take Bert Mercer, for instance. He not only works there; he lives there. It might be called a home — hut it would be dan- gerous to add any particular adjec- tive. And the engineering aides ate their breakfasts there regularly. Menu: doughnuts, Coca Cola, and apples. As a matter of fact, many more ate there when one considers how fast Jack McDonald had to re- plenish the coke machine and the candy dispenser. So, it might be called a restaurant — perhaps, more exactly, a cafeteria. Too, it might be called a recrea- tion hall, for there many of the stu- dents not otherwise interested in science met to play chess and any other sort of game that seemed ap- plicable. Chemical battles are not all fought in no man ' s land. Some even go native during camphor synthesis and go barefooted — to wit, Mutt Brown, spring, 1 943. Yes, the science hall is typical of all Wesleyan. It is lived in. The physics class was a bit trying for Apostle and Roberts this year.

There was the Pan-Ameri- can Chain sponsored by Mrs. Ogden. Students particularly interested in maintaining friendly relations be- tween the Americas met once a month to discuss conditions and their effect on American affairs, to come closer to our American neighbors, to prepare to become leaders of tomor- row. They elected Roberto Santana as president, Bob Holt, as treasurer, and Julia Mezzatesta, as secretary. As the only group of the Pan-Ameri- can Collegiate Fraternity in the west- ern hemisphere which included both men and women, it grew in numbers and importance — received the official publication, Pasco, learned to know better the people of the Americas, the western hemisphere. Also concerned with world affairs was the International Relations Club. Its members met to discuss world affairs, to study the causes of his- torical phenomena, to investigate the principles of international conduct making for world peace. Sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, it regularly re- ceived literature on current interna- tional events. This organization on Wesleyan ' s campus is under the di- rection of Dr. G. L. Glauner. Andy Pavlina, that all-powerful philoso- phy and social science major, was elected president.

They prepare by developing the principles of bookkeeping and ac- counting, discussing problems, work- ing practice sets. They get new moti- vation, new applications, new objec- tives, new viewpoints. They learn to calculate rapidly, to understand fundamental principles in commer- cial and business law. They learn about titles, mortgages, and war- rants; wills, insurance, administra- tions, and bailments. Every day their fingers become more skilled at typing — their pens a little faster in recording dictation. From their instructors the students learn the use of office equipment — typewriters, calculators, dictaphones, mimeoscopes, comptometers, and mimeographs. Some learn actual office practice — sixty hours of experience in a semester. Experience develops skill ; these students become skilled for their future jobs. Buckhannon businessmen and women welcome the help of these young students — these who are soon to enter business life. They assist them in developing the qualities of ideal secretaries. These students learn the secrets of success. They learn to follow instructions carefully, to be accurate, to be precise, to be swift. Problems are solved; questions are answered ; practical knowledge be- comes a part of them. TYPING LABORATORY 7(1 Among the much that was new on the Wesleyan campus this year were the two business administration in- structors, Professor Williams and Miss Moore. Professor Williams, businesslike, understanding, helpful, was always ready to confer with students. Many hours they spent in his third floor room, straightening out stubborn accounting problems, figuring on bal- ance sheets. College students and engineering aides, as well, were pre- HEYWARD II. 1. 1 MS paring to take a place in the fast- moving world. Miss Moore — young, intelligent, friendly — taught practical efficiency in the business held. She helped the students realize the value of effi- ciency. Too, she became house mother to the girls living in the home economics practice house. es, many students chose com- merce as their held. They prepared for their niche in the revolving world. Mary Lee Seitz saw the inside ot a doctor ' s office; Lillian Alkire, of a company office. Harriet Jane Wells worked for a local lawyer, anil Mary Colvin learned what makes a news- paper ' s wheels go ' round. June Tam- blyn and Elizabeth Barlow had ex- periences, too, experiences to talk about, experiences to make them anxious to go to work and prepare to do their jobs well. Other commerce students were actual secretaries to college officials and spent long hours in college offices. esleyan ' s commercial student- learned to do by doing. College life in wartime became more realistic, alive, meaningful with the arrival of 350 air corps students, air cadets — who were later to go on duty to countries everywhere. Gladly — but yet rather wistfully — co-ed residents of Agnes Howard Hall evacuated. They moved to give their room to air corps boys — dili- gent, strong young men to occupy those rooms which had always before echoed the laughter, the tears, the chatter of women. Drilling on the gymnasium and football field — eating mess in the gym — patronizing the canteen in the music hall — marching across the campus — working on math problems — busy — uniformed — alert — sol- diers they were. They kept Wesleyan on the beam. They told Wesleyan that America was at war. 71 F I. .A. Bach i ii J. Hupp, C. Kennedy, A. King, L. Vice, M. Deeds, J. Simons K I annehill, B. Marshall, 7.. Ramshure.

The future teachers of America, they were, and at the meetings they learned of the hest and newest ideas in the teaching field.

Williams This was a good year for the fu- ture Teachers at Wesleyan. Fvery- one had access to the shelf of educa- tional books and the Personal Growth Leaflets in the library. They all subscribed to the West Virginia School Journal and the Journal of the N. E. A., in which they studied the problems they must learn to face and the present-day so- lutions. From them they gained en- thusiasm for their future occupations. Best of all, they earned a shining seal and recognition in the West Vir- ginia Yearbook of the Future Teach- ers of America. Wesleyan ' s chapter was on the honor roll of Future Teachers — an outstanding and grow- ing group of students, an outstanding and growing group of teachers. The directed teaching class, 405, started with five members. But they lost Madden to the army air corps just when he was beginning to learn what to do with little girls in the front row who just shake their heads when asked questions. Teachers learn that if anything must be neglected, it is to be the classes on the campus and not the kids at the high school. What they wanted to know was, would this apply to campus courses on the week- ends? Roth secondary and elementary teachers wonder what to do with the cutest little discipline problems on two legs when they walk into the room unexpectedly. In the class ses- sions, Doctors Schoolcraft and Hupp tried to clear up some of the doubt in the quaking hearts of these stu- dent teachers. In this way they build Wesleyan ' s education department into the best in the state — School- craft, head of the department of edu- cation; Hupp, associate professor of education ami Dean of Men. A. A. SCHOOLCRAFT Miss Horner, was Custer killed in the Black Hills? Is this week still Courtesy Week? When are our book reports due? Why didn ' t the sailors get out and look around when their ship was stuck in the ice? How could the albatross fall in the ocean? I didn ' t know we had to do all that for today. I don ' t have my les- son. I just can ' t get up in front of the class and recite. May I get a drink of water? Do we have to write out the answers to these ques- tions? — All this was just another hour in the life of the student teachers, at the Academy, at Main Street, at Buckhannon-Upshur. Future teach- ers, ably directed and advised by present teachers, their nightly refrain is: Gee, what will I teach my kids tomorrow? It ' s got to be good — bet- ter than good; it ' s got to be best. Schoolcraft observed me today for the first time, and the kids were so good — bless ' em! 73 HIPPOCRATES G. AP05TLE When he came to Wesleyan as a new teacher this year, Dr. Apostle found large classes in math and sci- ence. Students, engineering aids, and Air Corps boys all kept him busy. Still he found time to prepare deli- cious steaks, learn to know his stu- dents, play his violin, and show his skill at chess. The chess club was a new organi- zation on the campus this year. Its members spend many spare moments playing. It seemed as if the chess men were always in use. Mirth Spangler, Sam Kyle, Don Taylor, Ted Maliszewski, Lorence Brown, Robert Hupp, Robert Roberts, Bar- bara Marshall, William Grose, Gran Visor, and Dr. Hyma elected Jerome Brown for King, Rachel Cosgrove for Queen, Burtis Mercer for Rook. Robert Lynch for Knight, and Robert Karle for Pawns. What contests, what sports they had as they pitted their skills against one another! Professor Dawn, quiet but indus- trious, also did his share this year at Wesleyan, his share in the national emergency. He, too, was new at Wesleyan — new as head of the industrial arts department. He held state supported classes at night. He remodeled the laboratory. Besides, he taught indus- trial arts to professors, townspeople, and students who wished to make whatnots, magazine racks, tables, and stools. Variety was the keynote in the laboratory. One made a bed; an- other made a wallet and keycase; someone else made a chair. Great in- terest was shown by professors and science hall loafers as they frequently observed the industrious craftsmen. There were the mysterious spots splattered on a certain professor ' s prize walnut table, and the boards split by amateurs working new ma- chinery. Nevertheless, when nine- thirtv came it was with reluctance that the new artisans replaced the tool , put masterpieces away until another class, and — keeping on the WILLIAM • IU« 74 beam. Yes, Wesleyan did it. It did it when it opened its doors to engineering and drafting aides — those who came to learn letter trac- ing, shop drawing, charts and graphs, algebra, trigonometry, slide rule, mechanics, and curve fitting. The students worked hard and long to prepare for defense jobs in an airplane factory — eight hours of class each day — one two-week, assign- ment of eight hundred problems. Hut they liked it. They liked the collegiate air of Wesleyan. At first they created a sensation — but soon they, too, became a part of Wesleyan. They became as much a part of Wes- leyan as the Senior Walk, the oak grove, and the campus squirrels. Yes, they were college students in those weeks at esleyan. They, too, attended concerts, chapel, and basket- ball games. They read the Pharos. ENGINEERING AIDF VI wiKk They became acquainted with other Wesleyan students, especially the lab assistants. Virginia Carter held Agnes How- ard Hall girls spellbound as she read their palms. And they presented in math class a table cloth to one of them who ' d just been married. In math class also, they learned the Greek alphabet as they were the ones who hid Dr. Hyma ' s umbrella. Work, work, work was the keynote of their Wesleyan experience, but they also remember the wonderful party at Dr. Hyma ' s home — those bull sessions in the hall — that fare- well doughnut partv in Dr. Apostle ' s room — the graduation exercise with Ball tit! for Americans. Yes, Weslevan students — all — kept on the beam in those days of ' 42 and ' 43 — patriotic — learning — equal to whatever was to come. CHAPTER VII ' lime fyosi the Boia Whatever be the training, the solo is seldom met with certainty. To read the text, to take the wheel, to open the book, to hold the scalpel for the first time is to deflate the con- fidence. The thrill all live for car- ries with it the only pleasing fear known to wan. With it are humble awe and understanding. One puts off his cap and gown to walk out into the country to teach a school, saying, I understand. What- ever I do I multiply by all my stu- dents: ' The new chemist said, I know two chemicals which combined would destroy mv laboratory. My job is to find two which combined will make a world wi ' TO. ; his first sermon, the preacher said, You listen well — like good Christians. But does that nation of you act well — like good Christians? The young woman medical student said, I ' ve come far. I ' ve learned much, but can I ever learn everything I shall need to know? And the young farmer said, I go back to where I came from. Give me a few years and it will be as changed as I. To factory, shop, and laboratory; to school, field, and home; to office, Asia, slums, they go to do their icork. ' They are not sure. They would not be safe and sure. But they art ' brave. 77 Trembling •with the thrill, but un- afraid they go. This interlude is done. And this is hoic it happened. Prepared and ready, they joined the long procession. Their caps and gowns were less colorful than those of the faculty and the trustees — but theirs were the banners of the day. Prepared and ready, they marched. Trudy Linger, pianist; Sam Kyle, marine; Margaret Gregory and Lois Flanagan, teachers; Melvin Risin- ger, minister; Lois Vice and Claudine McGinley, housewives; Harriet Wells, organist — all these and many more. Some of them were not in the lines for they had already rushed off to their work — but even they were present. That only added to the solemnity of baccalaureate. Spiritual advice is always welcomed more in times of stress — and this was 1943. This was Baccalaureate 1943. Something of the spiritual was with the seniors that last night they spent together. The puns they spoke, the jokes they cracked, the lines they used — all seemed superficial that evening, for underneath was real emotional experience. Again they marched. Hank Ellis, athlete; Curt Thorne, research tech- nician; Frank Madden, air cadet; Walt Kohlheim, pre-med; Carolyn Prince, chemist. To listen to the commencement address was no easy task. There were too many other things to be thought about — and thoughts were often crowded aside by emotions. The de- grees were theirs. Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science, it mattered not. They had earned their titles. 5ION FORM ' ACADEMIC PROCESSION They who go out from Wesleyan are prepared and ready to live and work in the American way. With them they take much that is small — memories of parties, games, hours with the best friend, and with the fraternity or sorority. But they take with them much more that is great — knowledge of the world of cul- ture, of the facts of science, of the techniques of specific professions, and above all, they take with them their fully developed selves. They are still individuals — men and women who know how to live in a democracy. They never forget Wes- leyan, for it was there that they had their first practical experience in liv- ing fully, gracefully, and well. That ' s the way one lives at Wesleyan. That ' s the way Americans would live. Wesleyan is America.

' ' :. This is the new Wesleyan — the Wesleyan of the future. For more than half a century, the college has served well, hut in the next few years it must far surpass its growth of the past. Its obligations are greater, its responsibilities more, its area of service larger than ever be- fore. The new Wesleyan is the dream of every alumnus and every friend. On its growth depends much of the welfare of the future. From the new buildings, from the new methods of education — and from the new spirit will come a new world. Wesleyan is willing to share the responsibility for the new day. 92 The greater Wesleyan is an architect ' s dream as well. Around the old Administration Building, Agnes Howard Hall, Haymond Science Hall, and the Gym- nasium, new huildings of beautiful structure must grow. There will be the new Library, the Fine Arts Building, the Chapel, the Student Union Building, and the Boys ' Dormitory. Some of the buildings are al- ready more than dreams. Friends of Wesleyan have made it possible for construction to begin as soon as the war is over. New teachers will join the Wesleyan tradi- tion of great professors — and the students will con- tinue to be the center of the whole system. Wesleyan ' s greatest day has not yet come. Like the great nation of which it is a part, it remains young- — with its finest opportunities still in the future. And like America itself, it constantly and surely grows toward the day when that for which it stands will be directing the course of the world — and those who are a part of it will be examples extraordinary of the Christian and the American way of life. rfouMikd the Aleut Welleqaa 93 West Virginia Wesleyan College V J- OU won t see Joe walking up for his sheepskin come Commencement Day.

Your electric service company has seen scores of its men and women go into service, too.

Today, in this country, we have five times the power that was avail- able in the last war — it is the greatest power- devouring war in history. During the past year, this Company delivered 2 2 billion horse-power hours to large industries. AS a horse can do the work of ten men, multiply that figure by ten to find the num- ber of man hours that it represents. The power was available because experienced busi- ness management had provided wide margins of security in planning its facilities for public service in peace and in war.
