(Have we not heard strange time, dark time, strange tragic time there? Have we not heard dark time, strange time, the dark, the moving tide of time as it flows down the river?) And in the night time, in the dark there, in all the sleeping silence of the earth have we not heard the river, the rich immortal river, full of its strange dark time? Full with the pulse of time it flows there, full with the pulse of all men living, sleeping, dying, waking it will flow there, full with the billion dark and socret moments of our lives it flows there. Filled with all the hope, the modness and the passion of our youth it flows there, in the daytime, in the dark, drinking with ceaseless glut the land, mining into its tides the earth as it mines the hours and moments of our life into its tides, moving against the sides of ships, foaming about piled crustings of old wharves, sliding like time and silence by the vast cliff of the city, girdling the stony isle of life with moving waters — thick with the wastes of earth, dark with our stains, and heavied with our dumpings, rich, rank, beautiful, and unending as all life, all living, as it flows by us, by us, by us, to the sea! From OF TIME AND THE RIVER, by Thomas Wolfe. Re- printed by permission of Charles Scribner ' s Sons, publishers. The 1948 Murmurmontis WEST VIRGINIA WESLEYAN COLLEGE BUCKHANNON, WEST VIRGINIA THOMAS B. CROSSAN, JR Editor-in-Chief ia.jvr Facing our task of depicting the passing schoolyear in these pages, the Staff of the 1948 MURMURMONTIS was acutely aware of the words time and change whi ch are the lifeblood of any college annual. Our thinking about time and change took a philosophical turn and we met one Heroclitus, sage of the Ephesus of ancient Greece. His imperturbable wisdom, reducing time and chonge to the delightful metaphor, you can ' t step into the same river twice, started us thinking of time and change in terms of moving water. This trend of thought led us directly to the enormously modern Thomas Wolfe and his expansive novel. Of Time and The River, in which he likened the ceaseless-change character of time to the eternal flow of a mighty river. We knew instantly we ' d found the theme material for which we ' d been searching when we came on those time-river paragraphs of Wolfe ' s which appear opposite the title page of this ' 48 MURMURMONTIS. Wolfe ' s time-river analogy inspired the cover design in which we have sought to portray, in terms of the theme and in modern symbolic forms, the essence of time and change at Wesleyan during the 1947-1948 schoolyear. The mouth in the distant mountain range was included for good measure to symbolize the meaning of MURMURMONTIS — namely, the voice of the mountains. 0a ttefiU . . .

West. Time ' s tides in their ceaseless ebb and flow have carried the College far from its early life and death struggles with the material aspects of existence. To the many distinguished administrators who have labored faithfully in its service belongs our gratitude for much of the success our Alma Mater has enjoyed. We are equally indebted to a small group of philanthropists whose interests in higher education hove centered on West Virginia Wesleyan. Their benefactions, together with the invaluable service rendered the College by capable administrators, have immeasurably ennobled the vision of Wesleyan ' s founders. It well behooves those of us in the College today, then, to know our benefactors — philanthropic and administrative — and, knowing them, give eternal thanks for their united interest in our beloved Alma Mater. Calvin Alexander West 1871-1936 -5 7ft« ( tun.m Mtc ecUc XCoH Mary Lowe West Long a prominent figure in the national shoe industry, the late Mr. West was highly recognized in the field for his administrative leadership as a corporation director. He held many patents covering important technological processes basic in modern shoe manufacture, and he was, in addition, a leading shoe stylist. Both Mr. and Mrs. West were long octive in the Church. Since the death of Mr. West, in 1936, Mrs. West has contributed even more largely of her services and resources. The lives of service to others lived by these two notable West Virginia Wesleyan benefactors will be remembered generations hence by students gathered to worship in the simple beauty of the Calvin A. West Memorial Chapel. The West Residence, Orlando, Florida cUidm a reeWfet Men ' s Dormitory Group The Administration Building The President ' s Home Agnes Howard Hall TVe iecfCut The Men ' s Dormitory Group will be erected on the north end of the campus in the area between the Haymond Science Hall and the old College Spring. $200,000 has been raised and set aside to begin construc- tion on these buildings at an early dote. Each of the two wings of the dormitory group has been designed to accommodate 1 10 men. A great hall, planned to provide facili- ties for the social and recreational needs of those living in the dormitories, will eventually join the wings which ore at present scheduled for construction as separate units. ,-.-« Calvin A. West Memorial Chapel The Calvin A. West Memorial Chapel, a gift of his wife, Mary Lowe West, has been planned to provide the campus com- munity with a center for worship. The simple architecture of the building, based on graceful Georgian Colonial lines, will focus in a spacious meeting place the spiritual unity of Wesleyan ' s religious herit- age. Provision has been mode for the installa- tion of a pipe organ. The Chapel, it is planned, will serve not only as a center for regular services but also as a quiet place for daily meditation. Florida Street House Home Economics House College Avenue House (n o4e 7iJ , V Loar Memorial Hall of Music ond Fine Arfs The Loar Memorial Hall of Music and Fine Arts, scheduled for construction as soon as labor and materials ore available, is the gift of the late Mrs Lawson L. Loor of Clarksburg. Mrs. Loar, widow of a Clarksburg business executive and civic leader, designated the College as residuary legatee in her will. $100,000 was allotted for construction costs and $150,000 has been established as an endowment fund to support and maintain the Memorial. Haymond Science Hal The Gymnasium S M ' PoUmul The Annie Merner Pfeiffer Library, one of the many benefactions made by the late Mr. and Mrs. Henry Pfeiffer to the cause of higher education, has been planned for con- struction in the area north of the Administra- tion Building near the tennis court. The first floor of this building will house the College Administrative offices. A large reference and general reading room will occupy the second floor. Ample stacks to house 50,000 volumes are planned. An out- standing feature of the building, a bos-relief memorializing the union of Methodism in West Virginia, will be located in the foyer.

Not only does this volume mark another year in the history of Wesleyan, recording as it does the outstanding events of the past twelve months, but it focuses thought on values. For what shall it profiteth a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul. You, who ore now leaving Wesleyan as graduates look bock upon your time in its halls as precious memories. As you go remem- ber to take time for laughter, for objective thought, for clear-headed study, to walk in the woods and to remember the values of life as the days go by. We charge you to look back on college days with the realization that only those values which survive are worth giving time to. Therefore, lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moss nor rock doth corrupt and where thieves do not break through or steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The editors of the Murmurtnontis for 1948, in choosing the theme of Time and Change, have called our attention to a significant aspect of modern life. We busy ourselves with endless details of time- consuming trivia and miss the majesty of life as it flows ceaselessly by. In the deeper sense life, itself, has meaning only in terms of the objectives for the investment of Time. Wesleyan has sought in the past, and will continue to seek in the future, to give foundation to the meaning of life as invest- ment in service to others — in the name of Christ — OS the consecration of life lived to the full. Ott ' Jcme ficU from the Seven years have moved down the river of Time flowing by the Wesleyon campus since I arrived here in the Fail of 1941 and wore a Freshman dinky. Looking about me now, and back through my memories of those years, I have the feeling Change was kept constantly busy. Europe, during my Freshman year, was already at war, but the force of Hitler ' s power had not then reached America to any great extent. Much less had the thoughts of vio- lence entered my mind — other, that is, than the violence of smashing through the line of on opposing football team. Then, like all of you, I too was finally shocked, by the attack of the Japanese on Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941, into action toward the defense of our country. I won ' t dwell on those war years as familiar as all of us still are with those trying times. On returning to Wesleyon in the fall of 1946, the campus seemed to me then to have resisted Time and Change — I found it com- fortingly familiar. There were quite a few familiar faces, both of the faculty and the student body. But, after being back a while, I soon began to realize Wesleyon had wel- comed Change and was thus better able to withstand the stresses of those war years. By that, I mean the spirit of West Virginia Wesleyon had been kept afloat and was slowly but surely regaining the old buoyancy of pre-war days. Gradually, more and more former students returned to the campus, and the Freshman Class more than doubled since the days when I was a Freshman. With the student body getting larger, greater was the spirit of unity both in study and in ploy. In keeping with the needs of this greater student population a new Community Council Constitution was adopted this year. This move, demanded by Time and Change, has given the students an increased opportunity to participate more widely in governing their school activities and organizations. I believe this one organization, alone, has done much to unify the college, and I ' m sure it will continue to do so in the years to follow. In moving beyond Wesleyon this year, the Senior Class places its trust in the classes we leave here, and the yet unborn classes of the future, to maintain a high interest in the Community Council. Their ideals, thereby united, will be found to be the stepping stones to the ideals required for the high level of competence in citizenship expected of college graduates. As we, the class of 1948, go our various roads striving to reach the goals of our lives, we will always remember and cherish in our hearts our years at West Virginia Wesleyon. In passing on the honor of my office of the Presidency of the Community Council, I want to thank each of you for the splendid coopera- tion you have given the Council this year. Charles William Pugh The 1947-48 schoolyear has been carried swiftly along on the restless breast of the tide of time flowing steadily in the wide and deep expanse between the unmeasured banks of the eternal river. Seeking to capture in these pages some notion of the subtlety of Change, the itinerant artist of the pulsing time-river, we have tried to catch his brush at work, touching the year drifting on the moving stream of time and coloring it with the confusion, the inertio, the pain, the pleasure, the passion, and the glowing hope of our youth. The year, wearied with its minute-measured journeying, slides silently into the great mouth of the mighty river through which it will at the last be swept into the forever- gone swell of the lost, limitless sea of remembrances beyond. Given a moment to sum the total of those images of the year scattered two-dimensional ly through these pages, we see clearly the tidemorks of change left on the campus by the alternating ebbs and floods of the restless river of eternal time. We are mode instantly aware of the loss of faces grown familiar to us in our doily contact with the administration, the faculty, the staff, and — more rarely — with the College Trustees. But in remembering these departed ones we see an array of new faces, many of them, and we see Change has compensated for his taking away of old friends by adding to our happy measure of new friendships. 7 ( Uc i omtet tt Officers Clyde O.

Low come to Wesleyon in 1901 where he received a B.5. degree in the Class of 1909, During those years he become associated with the North- western Mutual Life Insurance Com- pany. Graduating from Harvord Univer- sity with a M.B.A. in 1913, Mr. Law was active in Clarksburg until 1920 when he moved his family to Wheel- ing to become o Northwestern Mutual Generol Agent. Active in Methodism and anxious to serve his alma mater, Mr. Low wos elected to the Board of Trustees in 1919. His elevation to the presidency of the Board in 1932, post he has since continuously held, is evidence of the high regard in which he is held for his unflagging interest in promoting the fortunes of the College.

The fact that the College has received increased individuol tinonciol support and o greater student repre- sentation from the Pittsburgh areo in recent years is indicotive of the Bishop ' s obiding interest in West Virginia Wesleyon. Bishop Straughn was b terville, Maryland, in 18 ordained in 1903, and f degrees of A.B., A.M., from Western Morylond College. West Virginia Wesleyon conferred the de- gree of LL.D. on him in 1941.

FOSTER Alumni Sec ond Field Representati 7 ;4dmMc tn itiaK Change, no respecter of rank in the College hierarchy, wielded his subtle brush among the Administrative personnel during the year. One broad stroke of his brush brought a genial new face, that of Charles R. Knapp, to replace, as the College Librarian, Mrs. Curry, who joined the Faculty Emeritus at the end of the 1946-47 school- year. Mr. Knapp come to Wesleyon from the University of Illinois where he was in charge of the Law Library. With another bold sweep of his brush. Change introduced a new administrative post, that of Assistant to the President, and brought Myron S. Baker from the War Assets Administration in Cleveland, Ohio, to fill the position. Mr. Baker ' s appointment, in November, 1947, came after the individual portraits were taken for the MURMURMONTIS, hence we were unable to include his picture on this page. A highlight of the year for three of our Administrators, President Scarborough, Dean Schoolcraft, ond Treasurer Williams, come on the night of the basketball gome with Marshall College. Just before the game began, the three emerged somewhat sheepishly from the stands and led the Wesleyon rooters in a rousing FIGHT TEAM! Change, perched high in the rafters of the gymnasium, lifted his brush with a satisfied smile at his handiwork. WILLIAM B. HICKS Business Manager CHARLES R. KNAPP Librarian WILLIAM JOHN SCARBOROUGH President of the College ARTHUR ALLEN SCHOOLCRAFT Professor of Education and Psychology; Dean of the College; Registrar; Director of Admissions 7 zcu(tcf. One of the final effects wrought by Change at the close of the 1946-47 schoolyeor was the retirement of Ora Douglass Curry. After twenty years of service, fourteen of them as College Librarian, Mrs. Curry joined the distinguished ranks of the Members Emeritus of the Wesleyan Faculty. Like most of her fellow Emeriti, however, Mrs. Curry has continued to give part of her time to serving Wesleyan As for the other Members Emeritus, Change continued to rock them gently in the forward current of the pulsing time-river. Dr. Haught spent part of the schoolyeor working with Alumni Secretary Foster on the Alumni Directory which was published early in the year. Former President Fleming (1915-1922) participated in the successful campaign held early in the schoolyeor to raise the second $100,000 required to begin construction on the proposed Men ' s Dormitory Group; he has also been active in forming a committee of the Methodist Attorneys of West Virginia to work with the College in the matter of settling wills and bequests. Mrs. Neil has continued, in view of the record enrollment of students, to meet classes in the required Fundamentals of Speech course — a typical gesture of the selfless giving which has endeared Mrs, Neil to many students and graduates of the College. Mrs. Ogden is living in retirement at her home in Hadley, Pennsylvania. THOMAS W. HAUGHT Professor of Geology, Emeritus 1896-1941 WALLACE B.

A total of six members of the previous year ' s Faculty were carried beyond the Wesleyan cam- pus, but Time and Change compen- sated better then two-fold by cast- ing up no less than thirteen addi- tions to help tend the record 1947- 48 student enrollment. Two resignations, those of Dr. Hans Tischler, Professor of Music, and Dr. Samuel D. Marble, Professor of Political Science, were balanced in the professorial rank by two additions. Dr. E. V. Bowers, Pro- fessor of Psychology, and Dr. George H. McKee, Professor of Spanish. Professor Tischler left Wesleyan after a period of two year ' s service. Professor Marble, after one year here, left to become President of Wilmington College, Wilmington, Ohio — ■ the youngest college president in the country. Professor Bowers come to Wes- leyan after a distinguished twenty- five years of service at Marshall College, the last six of which he served as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Professor McKee was associated with the New Lon- don extension of the University of Connecticut before coming to Wes- leyan. SAMUEL A. SMALL Professor of English JOSE A. FRANQUIZ Professor of Philosophy E. V. BOWERS Professor of Psychology GEORGE HOLLADAY McKEE Professor of Spanish acccit(f Especially active in the associate professorial rank. Change removed two familiar faces, Marie D. Boette and Louise H. Tischler, both of the Dept. of Music, and presented a total of eight new associates. Professor Arnold came to Wes- leyan from a junior college in his home city of Moline, III. Mr. Bart- ley came from Lincoln Junior Col- lege, Lincoln, Neb. Professor Dow- ney brought to his work here the fruits of his studies at the Univer- sities of Virginia, Chicago, and Johns Hopkins. Choir Director For- lines brought a rich background of studies in music; he came here from Morris Harvey College. Com- ing here from William and Mary College, the Richmond Division, Professor Nichols has completed a substantial amount of work toward his Ph. D. degree at Columbia U. Professor Pollard, a graduate of Boston University, teaches Piano and Music Theory. Mr. Rice, who was appointed Director of Religious Activities at the beginning of the second semester, come to Wesleyan from McKendree College where President Scarborough formerly taught. Professor Shaver brought to Wesleyan his experience in teach- ing at Northwestern Missouri State Teachers College. Mr. Davis, a Wes- leyan alumnus, recently completed graduate studies at the University of Pittsburgh. Professor Godwin has his Master ' s degree almost com- pleted at Washington University.

Three resignations were noted, those of Assistant Professor of Speech, Ronald E Sleeth, and two Instructors, Francis B. St. Clcir, Business Administration, and John Scott Withers, Physics and Mathematics. Two addi- tions in the Assistant Professorial rank were Sidney D. Davis and John C. Godwin. Other effects produced by the activity of restless Change were the promotions of Miss Knepshield and Miss Moore to Associate and Assistant Professorships respectively. Miss Wilson, on her appointment as full-time Director of Student Activities, relinquished her Assistant Professorship in Religious Education. LEONARD DeGARMO NICHOLS WILLIAM FRANCIS POLLARD, JR. CHARLOTTE B. KNEPSHIELD Associate Professor of Economics Associate Professor of Music Associate Professor of Physical Ed NELLIE G.

He moved Billie Lou Whet- hered with her shiny, new Wes- leyan B.A. into Mr. Foster ' s Alumni Office where she took over the post of the Secretary ' s secre- tary. Mary Ann Law left off her role of student and was added to the staff in the Dean ' s Office. Another student addition to the staff in the Dean ' s Office, but on a part-time basis, was Mildred Barckley who handles Public Law 346 veteran ' s records. Dr. Hupp ' s secretary, Nito Ham- ilton, and Mr. Baker ' s secretary, Audrey W. Riffe, were appointed too late in the schoolyear to have their pictures included in these pages.

Bedell felt the touch of the subtle brush of Change near the end of the first semester of the 1947-48 schoolyear; she resigned as the College Avenue House Head of Residence. Mrs. Maude Mick heeded the beckoning finger of Change and accepted the position. Another of the many new faces Change introduced at the beginning of the year was Jean Ann McFadden who took on the task of planning menus in the College dining rooms. Madge Martin greeted Change happily as she surveyed the health office and infirmary the Time-Artist opened for her use in the new Student Center building. Change, who moves ever to the fore and pauses not a second to glance back over his shoulder, tarried not at oil as the 1947-48 schoolyear drew to a close. Our final glimpse of the itinerant artist of the time-river turned our faces, like his, to the future. Change, with a smile of anticipation, was selecting a new brush — a fine brood one — for the busy 1948- 49 schoolyear he saw drifting down the eternal river.

Carrying us from our green-hued freshman days through the cynic sophomore year and the sudden seriousness of junior status to our wisdom-wizened senior pedestal, the impassive movement of stolid Time has loosed Change upon us all. Just as the campus buildings hove weathered a barely perceptible deeper shade and the campus trees hove added on unnoticed ring to their girth, so have we all stood silent this year while Change wrought the subtle effects of his skillful brush upon us. Bobbing quietly in the great mouth of the immortal river in the moment left before it is finally swept irrevocably out into the lost sea of Time beyond, the Class of 1948 sees with the startling clarity of sudden insight the whole of Time ' s carefully calculated schedule. For a second the brood canvas of life stands spread wide before the Class, and they see Change impatiently beckoning them on to the tasks he has set for them in the year immediately ahead. More, they see that as the Class of 1944 had to move on to moke room for them so they must now make room for the yet unshoped Class of 1952 forming on the uppermost reaches of the pulsing time-river. 7 ? jt44e4 ui 7 ( i44 DORIS BELCHER RUBERT BENNETT Kimball Roanoke LORRAINE BODKIN Buckhonnon VIRGINIA BODKIN GEORGE BROOKS Buckhonnon West Milford JOHN CARPENTER RECTOR BROWN Chloe 4 94 RUTH YOUNG Weston JOHN WARE Ellomore WILLfAM WILLIS Moundsville ADAM FORINASH Webster Springs 7 €u HOBART DODRILL Buckhann JANE SWISHER Lost Creek JOHN UHLER Wilkes Barre, Pa.

The Class of 1970 may well find itself enriched with the talents and Wesleyon heritage of many of these youngsters. JOHN ROBERT CROSSAN AUDRA KATHRYN REED nd Mrs. Fred H.

Buckhonnon Puge Fifty-nine The dictum of Heroclitus, you can ' t step into the same river twice, describes aptly the year to year situation of the Department of Physical Education. The practical truth of the ancient Greek ' s universal metaphor is known nowhere more intimately than by the coach out on the playing field. Time and Change relentlessly dog the athlete ' s heels; the eternal river, mining the minutes and hours of his youth, flows under the constant and anxious surveillance of the eminently successful team-maker. Time gives the athletic coach but one favor — a clean slate at the beginning of every schoolyear. Change chooses to smile or frown on the coach at will. Like Janus, he may choose to do both at once, pushing talented team members into the ranks of the alumni while enrolling equally ca pable, younger men. The 1947-48 schoolyear sow Change play a minor part acting in this dual role. In this fleeting moment of appre- hension as the year is flushed toward the great sea of remote, lost, and forgotten time beyond, we see Change beckoning to many of Wesleyan ' s first-rate lettermen. Whether Change will choose to replace them with men of equal caliber in the yet unformed ranks of the Class of 1952 is a question to which the answer is not presently at hand. Of one thing, however, we may be certain: Time and Change cannot keep a secret; they ' re bound to produce an answer in the year immediately ahead. t Spont e d€M BARBARA CAPET Another Bridgeport girl, Bar- bora is member of many campus organizations, devoting a large share of her time to par- ticipating in such sports as bos- ketboll, hockey, and swimming.

There ore but a very few of this vast multitude who realize what goes on behind the scenes. It takes an excellent coaching staff in order to discover the opponent ' s weaknesses a week before every contest. In view of this, Paul Small was able to attend only the closing gome of the seoson to watch the Bobcats play. It wos through his excellent information ond diagrams of the next opponent ' s weaknesses that enabled the Bobcats to go from one victory to another. Assistant Cooch Small must be congratulated for his fine work in preparing the best defensive line in the State lost season, thus enobling Cooch Ross to further develop o galaxy of running backs. Moving along under the competent command of Coach Cebe Ross, the entire progressive athletic program of the College has brought to the campus community another successful year of extra-curricular activity and enjoyment. On the intercollegiate level. West Virginia Wesleyan produced teams in football, basketball, baseball, tennis, and golf. Ending the football season with a record of six victories against only two losses — both of them by narrow margins, the 1947 squad turned in a highly creditable performance. The highlight of the season, the Homecoming victory over a powerful Waynesburg eleven, added o certain lustre to the record. While the basketball record was hardly up to this high level of achievement, yet the 1947-48 hardwood season provided a series of surprises ond wos enjoyed by all. As is the custom, the State Intercollegiate Tournament was held in the Wesleyan gym; Davis and Elkins College emerged victorious this year. As for the baseball record, we must look back to the 1947 season which produced four victories against six losses. Of more personal interest to the overage Wesleyan student is the widespread, integrated, and carefully coordinated intromurals program conducted for both men and women. A total of 478 men and nearly 500 women students participated in these campus athletics. The men ' s intromurals, under the direction of Associate Professor Dove Reemsnyder, offered championship leogue contests in touch football, volleyball, basketball, tennis, handball and a number of other individuol sports. Associate Professor Charlotte Knepshield directed the women ' s intramurol program which offered hockey, volleyball, basketball, badminton, and shuffleboord in addition to other individual octivities. COACH CEBE ROSS Moving from his position as Head Coach at the Buckhannon-Upshur High School, Cebe came bock to his Alma Mater in 1925 to fill the vacancy left in the Physical Education Department by John Fulton. For seventeen consecutive years, with his first year here excepted. Coach Ross served the College as Coach and Athletic Director. During those years his reputation for fairness, unexcelled sportsmanship, and consistent production of successful teams in footboll, basketball, and baseball, grew steadily. When, in 1942, the College dropped intercollegiate athletics for the duration of World War II, Cebe trans- ferred his talents to Charleston ' s Morris Harvey College. There he produced the championship Golden Eagle team widely touted in 1942. The following year Coach Ross accepted a commission in the U. S. Navy. The war over, Cebe climbed out of his Navy blue back into his old berth at Wesleyan. Taking over at the helm again in 1946, he has made notable successes of his 18th and 19th years here. Page Sixty-three f fidcUcatM a uitcf ' TJtc RECTOR BROWN While if is hard to believe, it is nevertheless true ole Shadrack finally made graduation day; he ' s been heading in that direction since the fall of 1941. Of course, there was a slight interval of nearly three years out for a hitch in the U. S. Navy during the late war. And, of course, there was that year at Morris Harvey in ' 42 when Rec, following the abandon- ment of football here, helped Coach Ross capture the State Intercollegiate Football Con- ference championship. Originally from Chloe, Rec claims his main reason for coming to Wesleyon was to play football. Once here, it seems, he gradually came to realize there was a little more to going to college than playing sports. And there ' s that tale about that exciting week in ' 41 when all the greenies hod to tip their hats; Rec somehow lost a few locks of hair in a friendly sort of way. Married now, Rec has become a real family man what with wife Helen and daughter Linda looking after htm in one of the College hous- ing units. His eosy-gomg, omioble-bigness has made him everyone ' s friend in the campus community. JOSEPH PETER HUNTZ Along about 1920 a child entered this wide, wide world at Wyoming, Pennsylvania; his proud parents promptly named him Joseph Peter Huntz. Joe eventually grew up and became another of those old boys of Cebe ' s, playing boll his first year of school here in 1940. After one more season of football here, he enlisted in the Army Air Forces upon the close of the spring semester, 1941, and served a total of 42 months as an airplane armorer. He received his discharge late in the Fall of 1945. Little Joe reentered Wesleyon in the fall of 1946 and reioined the squad to play two more years of football. His activities around the campus include membership in the Keystone Club, and he is Vice-President of the Wesleyon chapter of the Future Teachers of America. The major Joe chose was Business Administration with minors in History and Education. His spore time is employed in hunting and fishing, Joe ' s pet hobbies. CHARLES WILLIAM PUGH A star is in our midst. Yet, you would never believe such on unassuming fellow as Bill Pugh would fall in this category. He wos one of those many freshmen of 1941 who tried out for the football team. From what is told he was a mere 175 pounds then and half scared to death, but somehow he was one of the four frosh Coach Ross kept on the squad. In those days you had to earn a letter the hard way, but Bill sorto ' picked up one his first year. Then in September of ' 42 he took to the road and followed his Ole Coach to Morris Harvey as did some others. There, he also was a member of that Championship Golden Eagle squad of ' 42. Along about then Bill decided the Navy had the best bet, and he went, in August of ' 43, as on athletic specialist. He completed a three year hitch before his dis- chorge in 1946. Bill reentered Wesleyon in the fall of that year and captained both the ' 46 and ' 47 football squads. A measure of his campus popularity IS evidenced by the fact Bill was awarded, by student vote, the Dempsey Sports- man ' s Trophy at the end of the 1947 school- year. He was also elected President of the 1947-48 Community Council, An announce- ment was mode recently that Bill will ploy professional football with the Los Angeles Dons this Foil. ADAM FORINASH Affectionately known to most students as Tor, Adam is a product of Webster Springs High School, Class of ' 40. He starred in his lost two years there as a boxer; out of ten bouts, he won nine and lost only to the State Champion. Entering Wesleyon in the Fall of 1940, Tor monoged to get in two seasons of football before the Army beckoned to him. After a tour of duty as a drill instructor at Kelly Field, he spent 28 months in the Asiatic Theatre of Operations — Chino, Burma, and India, His dis- charge in his pocket, Tor returned to Wesleyon in 1946 to rejoin the squad for the ensuing two seasons. Adam has mojored in Physical Education and chose minors in Biology and Education. His campus popularity as on athlete and his solid gold social personality mark him for success in his chosen profession of coaching. The grape-vine has it that an excellent coach- ing position is waiting for him in the southern part of the State. 7 f947 ' Paod nU 5e u M, Coach Silent Cebe Ross brought forth a mighty football machine this fall composed mainly of returning lettermen of the highly successful ' 46 squad. With the help of a few outstanding freshmen, the ' 47 edition of the Bobcats came out with a lot of determination and speed. Starting with the opening kickoff, we found our stalwart warriors opening fast against those not-so-tame Tigers of Salem College. To be sure the Bobcats ran true to form until the closing minutes of play. Then, the passing combo, Swisher to McLean, produced victory for the Salem Tigers by the norrow margin of 7 to 6. The Bobcats opened the game very fast; in the first minute of play. Bob Means blocked a punt which was recovered by Fuzzy Moore on the Salem sixteen. Bill Pugh, two ploys later, drew the seoson ' s first blood for the Bobcats by punching over from the ten-yard- lin e. The kick after by Michaels was wide of the mark. The Wesleyan downfall was a direct result of Tiger passing accuracy; a cool eight completions for a total of 108 yards. The Orange and Block line gave up o mere eight-plus yards. Outstanding on opening day were Means, Mozzei, Donley, and Straight on defense, while the new punting sensation, Joe Witek, bottled up the Salemites deep in their own territory. Still hoping to find a taste of victory, Cebe ' s pore little boys brushed up on ploys oil week and came back with a vengeance by humiliating the Glenville Pioneers 20 to 0. The scoring wos started, as usual by the Rossmen, early in the gome when John Mazzet and Bob Means collaborated in blocking Lilly ' s kick on the Glenville 20. After repeated thrusts through the stubborn Pioneer line did not produce a score, relioble Charlie Shepherd finally dove into pay dirt. Automatic Jody Michaels converted easily. From there on ' til half time, those rugged State linesmen fought the locals to a stand still. To open the third quarter, the Bobcots pulled in the pigskin on their own 20. Three successive first downs advanced our boys to the Glenville 43; from there, ever- elusive Bill Pugh danced around right end. Automatic Jody once again produced. Getting a little restless, those stalwarts of Silent Cebe, spearheaded by hard-charg- ing Walt Pugh, plucked down a Pioneer aenal from somewhere around the Wesleyan 20, returning the oval to the 45. Their turn then, the Bobcats lost the pigskin WALT PUGH Ttie younger half of a top-notch brother combination, Wait is a rollicking good pig- skin toter from down in the Southern port of the state — Gauley Bridge.

Chuc k ' s bic oment this year co vhen he got the ord t was a boy — Edw rd Lang to be via an interception on the Glenville 30. Lilly, Glenville ' s punter, hurried too much on the next play; as a result, the boll went over to the Bobcats on the Pioneer thirty. Shorty Crawford then, on on off-tackle slant, galloped 13 yards — after which he shot a bullet pass to end John Mozzei, who maneuvered for the score. Joe Michaels foiled to collect the point after. Silent Cebe and his men of might proceeded on to Charleston the following Saturday and very easily disposed of a gome, but outclassed, Golden Eagle eleven, 20 to 0. Coach Ross ' s single-wing attack rolled almost at will, the scoring storting early, as elusive Bill Pugh scampered 47 yards on two off-tackle slants to start the scoring for the Bobcats, Once again, automatic Joe Michaels converted and Wesleyon hod a 7-0 lead. On the ensuing kickoff, Joe Michaels ' effort traveled only a scant 1 3 yards; whereupon hard-driving Fuzzy Moore gathered in the loose oval to give Wesleyan possession on the Morris Harvey 47. Immediately, pile- driving Walt Pugh circled end for 30 to set the stage for runs by Charlie Shepherd and Bill Pugh which placed the boll on the nine; then, the one and only Bill Pugh scooted for the score. Mr. Michael ' s kick was wide at the half. As the third period started, Walt Pugh again circled end, this time for 52 yards, placing the ball on the 28. From here he passed t o Mozzei who was dropped on the five. Hard-driving Fuzzy Moore toted the pigskin over on two bucks at the line. Automatic Joe Michaels closed out the scoring with the point after, os Coach Ross substituted freely and coasted into victory. The ' 47 edition of the Bobcats, moving along with o two to one record, indicated signs of developing into one of the best teams Wesleyan had seen in years. Traveling to the Smoky City up North for the next game with yet-untested Carnegie Tech, the Bobcats from the West Virginia hills clawed out a 27 to 6 victory over the Tartans before 5,000 fans at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, The Wesleyon attack seemed to bog down in the first two periods, but they returned to the battle with seemingly uncontrollable power and accomplished this Saturday afternoon task in a very convincing manner. Early in the second quarter, Tech went 65 yards via the air to gain their first and only tally, but Wesleyan could not be denied and roared bock to score as Walt Pugh plunged over right guard at the half. Still at it, the third period found Bob Patterson, the Orange and Block signal caller, leaping high to intercept one of Tech ' s many passes and race 34 yards to score. Jody Michaels split the uprights for the conversion. Wesleyan rolled up another score shortly after as Walt Pugh, faking an end-run, flipped o pass into the wait- ing arms of little Claude Crider who dropped over BOB MEANS Another of the ex-marines c lis redhead is a standout at le kept his 195 pounds busy 2ason brushing aside opposing fello the 3und the ROBERT SULLIVAN CHARLES SHEPHERD JOHN SOUTHERN n the squad.

A sustained drive of 75 yords by Fuzzy Moore and the Pugh boys, in the first quarter, brought the game ' s only touchdown with Moore crossing the goal line from the five. The point after wos duly collected by Michaels. In the second period, Mazzei collected the Bobcats ' other two points by knocking a Yellow-Jackets ' kick bock into the end zone where Datko, Waynesburg half- back, fell on it giving the Cats a safety. Rough line play featured the remainder of the game, with a Waynesburg 89 yard touchdown sprint nullified by a 15 yard penalty called by the officials for unnecessory roughness. Wesleyan ran up a total of eleven first downs to six for Woynesburg, Now possessing a consecutive win-skein of four straight, the Bobcats of West Virginia Wesleyan jour- neyed to Porkersburg and defeated a rugged Marietta College, 12 to 0, in a cold drizzling ram. The Rossmen did all their scoring in the first half on two line bucks by Fuzzy Moore and Lelond Hoy hurst after the Cots recovered fumbles deep in Marietta territory, Wesleyan ' s offense bogged down in the second half due to o heavy, soggy gridiron that had all the aspects of a seo of mud.

After runs by Bill ond Walt Pugh, Fuzzy Moore plunged over from the five to score. Michoels ' kick for the conversion was wide.

Automatic Joe Michaels split the uprights at the close of operation mud. The Bobcats then brought their 6 to 1 record face to face with the Davis and Elkins Senators in the season ' s fmole. The Senators ' til then hod not looked too impressive, but followers of the locals looked for — and found — a highly entertaining Saturday afternoon of football as these two squads have long been intense rivals. Anyone who hod witnessed lost year ' s ( 1 946) game, and other gomes of the post, could have testified as to what wos liable to occur. Last year ' s gome was played viciously up to the final gun; our Bobcats were victorious due to the outstanding work of the line and the brilliant ploy of oil who gave our running bocks, like Bill Pugh, a chance to hold the Senators helpless with their will-o-the-wisp runs. This year the boys from over Elkins way lived up to all advance billing. They were a definite underdog eleven that caught fire from the J to upset, 7 to 3, the best laid Wesleyan plans for a jubilant celebration that evening. The Senators displayed o deceptive brand brand of boll under the leadership of quarterback Leroy. His handling of the T formation was a study in the art of deception. Time and time again he out- smarted the Wesleyan defense. Wesleyan ' s only score came when Jody Michaels booted a 22 yard field goal from a difficult angle. The Cots lacked that scoring punch so sorely needed to put over six-pointers. The Rossmen were often deep in Davis and Elkins ' territory only to lose the ball on downs. The Senators set up their lone score on a poss from Leroy that was nicely caught on the Wesleyan one- foot-line. The fullback plunged over the double chalk line to score. The extra point was good on an under- handed pass from Leroy to his end. Close. The game was punctuated by both sides losing men because of the intensity of the battle. This, the lost spectacle of the 1947 gridiron season here at Wesleyan, was the end of the collegiate football trail for those seniors you will remember always for their sportsmanship and outstanding play both on and off that little dose-cropped field with the chalked lines marking off those long one hundred yards. May good fortune, warm success, and happiness follow you from here, Rector Borwn, Adam Forinash, Joe Huntz, and Bill Pugh for all the rest of your auspiciously begun athletic careers. THE TRAINERS Behind all the action on the playing field and just short of all the glamour rightfully accorded the players — there stand the trainers. Not that they ' re out looking for sympathy; they know when they volunteer for their jobs just what they ' re getting them- selves into. Cheerfully toking the heavy load of their responsibility to make certain the needs of the squad ore met promptly and both the players and their equipment kept in good condition, the trainers are mostly too busy to be anywhere but in the background of the situation. Nevertheless, these fellows. Bill Knox, Lee Sutter, Cole Potter (all pictured), and Bud Brooks, Guy Hannah, and Sam Picone, are all deserving of a rousing cheer for a good job well done.

The backers of the Orange and Black sow some great contests ployed on the floor of the college field house during those following months. Coach Ross had the same team, with the exception of Chet Marshall who had graduated, that fought its way to the finals in the Collegiate Basketball Tourna- ment of last year. With the help of the student body, the Bobcat basketeers played o season both hot and cold. The record books show the opening gome, which began the long hard grind, to be a victory — almost, that is. The team lost in the closing minutes of play to the Green and White of Bethany College by a score of 54 to 51. It was o gome that saw first one and then the other team picking up the lead with the Wesleynites on the short end of a 28 to 26 halftime score.

Starting with the West Virginia Tech home game, tht men began to snap out of their lethargy with o start. This was on example of the potential scoring power possessed by the Rossmen as the gome concluded with Wesleyan on the long end of a 79 to 50 score. Then, still showing power in spurts, yet lacking in the pinch, it brought obout another addition to the loss column — losing 78 to 57 to Dovis-Elkins. Once again, however, Wesleyan and the gods brought forth another bomb shell, this one to spell the downfall of the Golden Eagle five from Morris Harvey College. In this contest the Bobcats more than made up for their bruising defeat of two months previous by humiliating George King and his cohorts 76 to 58. Two days later, on Friday the thirteenth, Cam Henderson and his Morshall squad dropped in on the boys at the local emporium. The Big Green were fresh from o New Year ' s tourna- ment victory out on the West Coast and were not to be derailed by the Orange and Blocks of Coach Ross. True, the locals proved to be a definite threat for the first 30 minutes, but they eventually lost out 72 to 55, due to o pressing fast breok employed by Marshall. On Monday, a couple of nights later, the Carmichael Auditorium jinx continued to hold as the Salem Tigers pulled away from the Bobcats in Fa n ' Scventif-o the final period to win 70 to 58. Coach Ross then decided perhaps a few closed sessions might help snop a few more victories out of his faltering team.

The lead built up by the Cats melted in the closing minutes of play, however; the Falcons tied the gome up as time ran out. The overtime found no let up in the sudden surge of the Falcons, and, helped by Wesleyon ' s ice-cold local team, Fairmont took the hord-fought tussle, 62 to 57.

After this triumph, the Bobcats evened up still another earlier defeat, by the Salem Tigers five, by winning on the home hardwood 64 to 58. The local bosketeers, closing out the season, then lost to Waynes- burg College 82 to 43. Thus seasoned, the Orange and Block hardwood quintet then played host to the best of the state collegiate teams in the well-ployed, hotly- contested annuol State Intercollegiote basketball tournoment, which was eventually won by Davis and Elkins College. The naming of individual stors has been left out of this over-oil summary of the hardwood wizordry of Coach Ross ond his squad as a tribute to the entire team who wholeheortedly did their best for West Virginia Wesleyan College, utterly disregarding any personal gains to be ade. It should be mentioned, however, that three seniors did put forth their lost efforts in this yeor for the Oronge ond Black.

This was a season highlighted by the signing of contracts to ploy professional boll by Shorts Humphreys, pitcher, and Rocko Meyers, outfielder. Having started with four straight innings of no-hit ball, Sowbuck Sawyers pitched the Bobcats to an 11-7 win over the Salem Tigers on the Wesleyan diamond, April 16. For the first few innings things appeared to be pretty much of romp until the Solemites finally adjusted their batting eyes to the smoking fast boll of Sawyers. It was not until the fifth inning did Salem get out of their slump to rush three runs across the plate. You can ' t always win them all, as the Bob- cats hurriedly found out on the local diamond the following Friday afternoon. The Falcons of Fairmont State racked up a one-sided score of 21-3 before a crowd of loyal Wesleyan fans who sweltered in the hot sun for nine long innings. Practice seemed to be the by-word as the game progressed. Wesleyan had only one gome under its belt and very little practice mainly due to wet grounds; therein lay the success of the Falcons. The Bobcat battery, paced by Humphreys, Ellis, and Patterson, worked hard — only to fall short. One of the main highlights of the gome occurred when a long fly to left field was snagged by Rocko Meyers and snapped to Yurick at second for a beautiful play. Statistics show that Fairmont connected for 19 hits compared to the Bobcats ' five, all singles. A single t the 10th inning, by Davidson, proved to be the deciding factor in the fol- lowing contest with West Virginia Tech which those boys wrapped up and took home, 9-8. For the first couple of innings it looked like Tech ' s ball gome, but the Bobcats drove in two runs in the second, and four more in the third to make the scoreboard read 6-3 at the beginning of the fourth. The locals continued to lead the way until the ninth, when Tech pushed across three runs to tie the score at eight-oil going into the 10th. In the next game, with the Glenville Pio- neers, Norman Page ( Lefty ) Smith pitched a fighting Bobcat nine to a 14-5 decision on the Pioneer diamond. Allowing the Blue and White only five hits. Lefty was backed up by the Wesleyan slugging stalwarts. Glenville took a 3-1 lead in the first inning only to find themselves limited to just two more runs during the remaining eight innings while the Cats went on a rampage to score 13 more runs. This win evened up the won-lost gome tally, two and two. A return gome with West Virginia Tech followed, permitting the Wesleyan nine to even up the game score with a 3-2 win. Traveling north to Philippi to engage Alderson-Broaddus next, the Bobcats lost a heortbreaker, 7-6, to the boys up on the hill. On returning to the College diamond for a tussle with the Glenville Pioneers, out to avenge their earlier defeat, the locals emerged from the fracas even more heartbroken. In a nip and tuck horsehide duel all the way, both teams hod garnered five runs at the end of the ninth inning. At bat the first half of the 10th, the Pioneers scraped up one run on on error and a single to take home the gome. One of Shorts Humphrey ' s better days, he allowed the Pioneers only seven hits and fanned 12 in the process. Of the three gomes remaining on the schedule, Wesleyan lost successive return engagements to Fairmont, 8-2, and Salem, 8-1, before defeating a stubborn Alderson- Broaddus nine by a score of 6-4 to wind up the season.

Page Sevenlii-tir 044jcA Touch football was the first Intramural sport undertaken at Wesleyan this year. With nine teams and some 80 boys participating, the games were started. They were played on the large green field which lies between the Student Center and the athletic stadium. The field was lined off by members of the intra- mural department, and then the pigskin sport got underway. Under the able direction of Dove Reem- snyder, men ' s intramural program director, and Mel Herold, student assistant to Mr. Reemsnyder, games were scheduled and played accordingly. Several students who were interested in athletics served as referees and thus gained valuable experience for themselves and greatly benefitted the intramural department by donating their time and services. Some of the fellows who served as referees were; Walt Wise, Dick Walton, Rock Myers, Garth Hood, Maurice Miller, and John Marchinnes.

Intramural football was a feature activity on Wesleyan ' s campus those first three weeks of school. During the latter part of September, October, and the first part of November, touch football held the campus spotlight. Persons coming to the pits nearby to pitch horseshoes usually ended up watching a close game of intramural football. In spite of the rainy weather, fans kept coming to kibitz on the sidelines and the playoffs continued. The season wound up with the flashy Variety Boys winning the title with five straight wins against no losses. This fleet- footed team was captained by Rock Myers. Running a close second was the mighty team from northern West Virginia, the Panhand- lers. Captained by the shrewd Walt Wise, the Panhandlers racked up a record of five wins and one loss.

After intramural volleyball, basketball came into its own. This sport drew more interest and participants than football and volleyball together. Twenty-four teams with approxi- mately 200 men signed up to play basketball. There were so many teams that three leagues were formed. Games were played in each league until the middle of March, at which time tournaments were held in each league. Each team had an equal chance to win the championship of its own particular league.

The program was obviously a huge success, with oil who participoted benefitting greatly not only physically but even more in promoting the friendly spirit of Wesleyan sportsmanship.

Sfront SPORTS Women ' s athletics constitute on Interesting and spectacular port of the physical education program of the College, The girls ' portion of this program consists of a series of intramural contests in each of the popular sports under the sponsorship of the Women ' s Athletic Association. Credit for the success of the program is due not only to the individual class porticiponts but also to Miss Knepshield, advisor to the W.A.A. and departmental head of the women ' s physical educotion program- Tournaments were held in hockey, volleyball, bosketboll, ping pong, shuffleboord, badminton, and Softball; a total of nearly 500 girls participated in these contests. Aside from taking part in these sports for the health- ful activity and the pleasure in them, the girls were working toward a higher goal — the WAA. Key — which marks the ultimate ochievement for active portici- potion in the women ' s athletic program. The Key is owarded on the basis of a designated number of points earned for each sport played. This year there were on the campus two Senior girls weormg this award, both of whom earned their Keys at the start of their Junior year. The girls, Velmo Smith and Fern Christofel, are seen in the softball picture in the panel at the right. Softball In the spring o young man ' s fancy turns to thoughts of love — but the girls on the Wesleyan campus turned to Softball as something to occupy the sunny afternoons. Class teams participated in the tournament, ond each team put on a good show with much gained physically, mentally, ond (Ed. note: strongely enough!) socially. Badminton Shuffleboord Another of the individual sports to be newly added to the intramural program this year was that popular indoor sport, shuffleboord. Single eliminotion tourna- ments were established for both singles and doubles, and the two courts in the gym were kept busy most of the time.

' JcMtMcH A group of approximately 12 agile girls contribute on occasion to the campus pro- grams sponsored by the Physical Education Department. The tumbling feats of these girls include a wide variety of specialties per- formed with precision and grace. Listed on their repertoire are such stunts OS forward and backward rolls, flips, pyra- mids, cartwheels, chest rolls, all types of shoulder and thigh stands, and both double and triple rolls. The girls have developed and polished their performances entirely on their own during the off-hours of campus life when they were able to put in the required long periods of strenuous practice In addition to their appearance as a feature of the traditional annual May Day Festival, the services of this group are mode use of in assembly programs and other campus enter- •■ainments. ac eef, It ' s reolly the truth when we say that some girls on the campus swing a mean hockey stick — there were a good many bruises and bumps to prove it! Seven teams were entered in the hockey tournament and all seven played good, hard, and fost hockey. Schoal ' s Freshmen, Hunt ' s Freshmen, and Clelland ' s Seniors were eliminated the first round. In the second round, Wickham ' s Sophomores defeated Hinshelwood ' s Sopho- mores, and Simpson ' s Juniors slaughtered Young ' s Freshmen. In the final round of the tournament, neither Wickham ' s nor Simpson ' s crew could get the upper hand; after a gome and an over-period, the score remained tied. So, OS far as the hockey intramurals were concerned, we hod co-champions with Simp- son ' s Juniors (pictured lower left) and Wick- ham ' s Sophomores (pictured upper right) shar- ing the title honors. And rugged tournament it was! It hit the athletic field like a cyclone and gave the spectators a gay time keeping track of the little white ball as it was knocked from one end of the field to the other and then back again. All the gomes were played under the lights and did much to odd some color and excitement to the campus scene for a couple of weeks in November. Ti CMte ' fttn i-TH vuii I ' aiif Killhtil-loii €U e €iM ' Jo nHeMi Ht BASKETBALL The girls ' basketball season was completed late in March, and the tournament proved to be quite long and exciting. W.A.A. Sports Manager Maxine Birck- head did a great job in organizing the intramural tournaments — and especially basketball. Two round robin leogues were run off with five teams in eoch league, then a finol round robin was held among the winners and runner-ups of the two initial leagues. In League I, the Seniors, captained by Butler, took first honors. They were followed successively by Mur- dock ' s Freshmen IV team, Hayes ' s Juniors, the sorry Sophomores of Thomas, and Bailey ' s dilapidated Fresh- men II. In Leogue II, the Junior proteges of Hadjis were too much for their league-mates; they took the title with o percentage of 1.000. Next in line came the Freshmen 1 1 1 team, driven on by Sue Berry; then Sophomore I, coaxed on by Alda Wagner; Freshmen I, urged by Cross; ond finally, Freshmen V, consoled by Marshall. The winners of both leagues deserve a round of cheers for these games were hard fought. The final round robin, among the four leading teams of the two initial leagues, proved interesting though not quite OS exciting as the earlier contests. One of the games, that between the Juniors and the Seniors was played as a preliminary game to the Solem-Wesleyon varsity tilt. It was a great gome; and, though the Juniors won out in the end, the Seniors were leading with only one minute to play. Following this defeat, the Seniors decided to forfeit the rest of their games. This left only three teams in the running; from these the Juniors emerged first to become the Women ' s Basket- ball Champions of 1948, A definite ond necessary part of every game ore the officiols, of course; due credit must be given them for their efforts. The referees of this tournoment were a group of seven girls; Robinson, Ross, Birckheod, Smith, Christofel, Clelland, and Evans. They hod the ever- faithful assistance of Miss Knepshield when .the going got tough. The success of this tournament is due olso to the timekeepers ond scorers; we take this opportunity to thank them for their services. Page Eiphtij-five The river of Time, on which all things forever drift, guided in their courses by the restless figure of Change, has moved the campus organizations another year forward in what, for many of them, has been a long period of service to the campus community. The year in its swift passage down the deep-channeled, pulsing time-river saw Change, recog- nizing the greater variety of interests among the record student population, bring into being a number of new organ- izations. The struggles of some few of these new groups have gradually weakened in the swift current of the ceaseless flood, but others appear to have a strong grasp on the straw of life breasting the rushing tides of Time. Meanwhile, the older organizations have been rolling majestically along, adding new achievements to their already long lists of noteworthy attainments. Change worked rather extensively during the year with a number of these long established groups; basic reorgonizotional work has resulted in their thorough remodeling. Many hove thus taken on a wider scope of activity, broadening the services rendered their members and the campus community at large. Change may well be proud of his artistry in effecting these far-reaching progressive steps which Time, we feel, will undertake to prove of inestimable value. The stature of any institution of higher learning is dependent, to on appre- ciable extent, on the number and nature of its extra- curricular organizations. iKC A tfo44 On aat tloK m ( HmCMCtCf (MKCli Class Representatives iry Louise Coberly Bill Knox Velmo Sm Repri fh Junior CIgs!

Hallom The first task the 1948 Community Council set for itself immediately on assuming its responsi- bilities at the end of the 1946-47 schoolyeor wos a complete revision of the existing inodequate constitution. This objective was accomplished when, on June 20, 1947, the Council adopted the constitution under which it has functioned so ably this year. Working through the summer, the group com- pleted in its initial three meetings the necessary appointments of members to the standing com- mittees. In three July meetings, a determined effort on the port of the Council to bring Student Union finances out into the open resulted in the innovation of a bookkeeping system which permits regular quarterly reports covering oil phases of the Union ' s financial situation. In the initial meeting of the Council after the College reopened in September, the first quarterly report of the Student Union finances was received. The Sigma Eta Delta reorganization was given recognition, and Pi Epsilon Theta was granted per- mission to organize as a chapter of the notionol philosophic fraternity. Late in October the new Student Union by-laws were opproved; campus and building improvements were discussed, the World Student Service Fund drive approved, and $100 of the Union ' s finonces was made available for the use of the Council. The November meeting of the governing group brought a promise of action from the gdministrotion on the proposed campus and building improvements. Registration of outomobiles parked on the campus was scheduled for the second semester. An initiol discussion of the chapel and assembly situation was held. The first December meeting resulted in a move to register the constitution, by-laws, and member- ship list of all campus student organizations. A committee was formed to plan a banquet for the football team; a report from the Religious Activities committee was heard, and a delegate was sent to the regional meeting of the National Student Asso- ciotion in Lynchburg. The final meeting of the calendar year brought recognition to the Phoenix Club. Committees were formed to investigate affiliation with the N.S.A. and the dissatisfaction with the chapel and assembly programs. The College, through the Council, was host to the reorgonizationol meeting of the W. Va, Federa- tion of College Students on December 12 and 13. The first meeting of the new year brought reports from the Social Activities committee, the banquet committee, and a financial report from the Student Union. The presidents of eoch class were in attendance and a student government assembly wos plonned for February 5 to encouroge student interest in this vital phase of compus life. The cor registrotion plan was restated. Meeting late in February, the Council decided to dispense with the bulletin boards ond assembly onnounce- ments by issuing weekly announcement bulletins. Reports were heard on the class meetings held following the student government assembly. A small deficit incurred by the football banquet committee was made up out of Council funds. Early in March, membership in the W. Va. Federa- tion of College Students was voted, and two Council delegates were oppointed to attend the Federation meeting held April 9 and 10 ot the University. Pofje Eifihty-elght StucCe tt TiKcoK ( ncc tccC Virtually an autonomous unit of the Community Council, The Student Union Committee holds as its responsibility the provision of on adequate social, recrea- tional, and extra-curricular progrom on the West Virginia Wesleyan Campus. It draws up plans and controls the operation of the Student Center, subject to the approval of the Community Council. The Student Center has been kept open nearly all the time for the use of the entire student body; the large Social Room was frequently reserved during the year for the parties and other activities of the various campus organizations. This whole new campus social program was begun with the advent of the new Student Center building; its construction was completed early lost summer. All-compus affairs during the summer included several parties and on all- campus picnic. The Fall semester was begun by the kick-off party for Freshmen. Later, Wesleyantics, the student variety show, was presented under the sponsor- ship of the Student Union Committee This event began the Homecoming pro- gram which included a party for students and the visiting Alumni. During the holiday season a Christmas party was held, and a few weeks later the second semester was opened with a lively affair. A ball in honor of St. Patrick ' s Day, at which the varsity sports teams were also honored, came next on the program. Among the events entirely new to campus life this semester were regular Saturday night movies featuring such full length shows as Grapes of Wrath, The Rains Came, and Young Mr. Lincoln. Week-end mixers for students and faculty were held one evening nearly every week; and programs of classical music on records were given on Sunday afternoons. This lost feature was presented in cooperation with the Reli- gious Activities Committee, another of the standing committees of the Community Council. These two committees also served an all-campus breakfast twice during the Lenten Season. A reception was held for the visiting alumni before the football banquet. The lost big event presented during the past schoolyeor was May Day Dance which concluded the program featuring the crowning of the May Queen. Jerry Wold and his well-known orch- estra were highlighted at this main event concluding the committee ' s social program for the year. Members Ex-officio Mrs. Ethel Vaughn_-Financia!

Paiic Nhieln-luo elta ' Pu TC.cifi Delta Psi Kappa is a national fraternity composed of women majoring in physical education. On May 17, 1947, the dreams of 14 girls were realized when the phyeds of West Virginia Wesleyan College became affiliated with Delta Psi Kappa. The phyeds had been an active organization on the campus since the fall of 1945. At that time a group of physical education majors banded together under the leadership of Miss Charlotte Knep- shield, with the goal in mind of later peti- tioning a National Physicol Education Fra- ternity. The formal installation was held in May, 1947, with the notional vice-president from Philadelphia conducting the service. Charter members were Velma Smith, Betty June Reed, Mary Algene Baily, Imogene Randolph, Rayma Gene Brother, Mary Alice Cole, Mcxine Birckheod, Betty Jo Hogsett, Fern Christofel, Gladys Evans, Hollace Wilson, Alberta Robinson, and Alice Ross. The program of the year included the sponsoring of Wesleyanantics, a student variety show, furnishing programs for the State College Basketball Tournoment; and an initiation dinner.

It was very active until 1943 when it merged with what was then the Alpha Kappo Pi. In 1947 it was re- established as a local group and now has 10 actives and 6 pledges. This fraternity exists in order that a group of Wesleyan men, possessing kindred interests, may be united within the bonds of fellowship for their mutual and individual benefit. The official colors are red and white, and the flower is the red carnation. Members of Sigma Eta Delta have distinguished themselves in various ways since their re-organiza- tion. Lee Cosgrove is Treasurer of the Benzene Ring French Queen is on the debate team, and Harold Rohr, President of Sigma Eta Delta, is Treasurer of the Senior class. The fraternity was active in intra-mural sports and won the volleyball tournament. It also sponsored several smokers and a semi-formal dance in February. Paije One Jlutidrnl ami On The Benzene Ring dates back to 1921 when it was founded to create a greater interest in physical science, acquire a wider knowledge of its various branches, and to establish the scientific department of the College on a higher plane. It is recognized as being the oldest existent student organization on the campus and, in the 1947-48 school year, it was the largest organization on the campus, having one hundred and ten members. Initiation is held at the beginning of each school year. Membership is by invitation to those students majoring or minoring in chemistry and who maintain an A or B overage. Meetings are held on the first and third Mondays of each school month. Distinguished speakers hold discussions and give lectures of an educational nature on the latest progress in scientific fields. Part of the program of the year is Wesleyan on Parade, an all student program of talent which is presented to raise money for campus improvements. The crowning of the camphor king is another tradition sponsored by the Benzene Ring.

The first major play, Lost Horizon, was presented in January. Martie Kursavich, Donald Martin, Carle- ton McKita, James Snedeker, Stanley Meyers, and Margaret Ann Cyphers were members of the main cast. Bargains in Cathay, a play by Rachel Field, was presented in assembly and in several high schools in the vicinity of Wesleyan. Leads in this drama were played by Carleton McKita and Margaret Ann Cyphers. The annual commencement play was The Barretts of Wimpole Street, by Bosier. In addition to acting, two meetings were devoted to the development of make-up technique. Associate members have performed notably this year, and the organization anticipates an even better year next year.

The Christian Service Fellowship, an organization growing out of the Ministerial Association, was founded at Wesleyan in 1946. It was begun under the leadership of Dr. Brown and its former president, Charles Johnson. This year Dr. Brown is their sponsor and Professor Sidney Davis is acting as counselor. In this capacity, Professor Davis directs and advises the ministerial students in their activities in rural Methodist churches in surrounding areas. The purpose of the Fellowship is to unite on the campus all students who ore pre- paring for full-time Christian service. They endeavor to develop all phases of the student ' s life and to render all possible services wherever they are needed. One main project of the year, a continuation from last year ' s program, has been to hold religious serv- ices in the words at the State Hospital in Weston. However most of their work is located in rural churches where they hold regular services to aid the student pastors. Also they work with the young people of these local areas to develop active youth groups. V eekly meetings are held in Brown Chapel which the group remodeled lost year. These meetings are characterized by discussions and special lectures on various phases of Christian work and needs. l age O ' tf Hundred and Four OFFICERS Professor Franquiz-- -Honorary President Charles Thompson President George McCune Vice-President Mrs. Ruth Young Secretary Bill Willis Treasurer John James Voting Reprt MEMBERS: Kenneth Watkins Doyid DuBois Edward Crow Wallace Knight James Snedeker Parker Holloway Maurice Miller Professor Rice Dean Hupp Professor Brown c Sfi i M ta Wesleyan ' s chapter of the Philosophical fraternity, the first to be founded in West Virginia, was organ- ized in 1947 and was formally initiated April 20, 1948. This fraternity strives to encourage the spirit of philosophical study, among students, both in and out of the classroom, and to emphasize the value of voluntary discipline in serious inquiry. The motto, Through wisdom to love of God, serves as a guide to the fraternity members. All members of the fraternity must be Philosophy students who have maintained at least a B average in related courses. Another requirement is the writing of some philosophical paper which may be completed as port of course of study. The main activities of the year have consisted of meetings at which discussions on designated subjects are held. Topics for discussion ore frequently taken from The Personalist, a philosophical review pub- lished by the University of Southern California. Subscriptions to this magazine were presented to the members of the fraternity this year. In November, a meeting of the entire West Vir- ginia society, which is affiliated with the Academy of Science, was held at Wesleyan with the local group acting as host. Professors and students from all schools in the state came to hold discussions on various topics and to make a survey of conditions concerning philosophical study over the State. Page One Hundred and Fii The Women ' s Athletic Association was organized to increase recreational opportunities for Wesleyon Women. Its membership is open to all women students. It is one of the largest and most active organiza- tions on the campus. Meetings are held twice a month, one being a business meeting and the other a recreational one. Activities of this organization include: the annual week-end trips to Jackson ' s Mill, a Christmas party at which gifts are brought and distributed by the Girl Scouts among the unfortunate children of the town, a progressive party, a snow hike, picnics, and the presentation of the May Day program. The association is interested in furthering intramural sports and in promoting the physical welfare of women students. 7{ omm 4tMetcc ;4 4 cicitca OFFICERS: Vclmo Smith President Fern Christofcl Vice-President Jane Wyncoop Secretary Gladys Evans Treasurer Miss Charlotte Knepshield Sponsor MEMBERS: Christine Anderson Mary Ellen Lawson Virginia Anderson Peggy Lieving Lucille Bailey Patty Roe Lough Patty Bassel Phyllis Lowe Betty Beer Norma Morole Sue Berry Mory Ruth Marsh Maxine Birckheod Louise Marshall Alice Boone Peggy Mortin Jean Burton Esther Mason Jesse Butler Lucille Motheny June Butler Judy McWhorter Barbara Capet Mildred Movers CecileCose Noncy Murdock Julia Cheng Corinne Porkes Mary Clelland Helen Poyne Mary Louise Coberly Melrose Perry Christine Contos Anna Bell Phillips Betty Cross Sally Pierce Peggy Cross Dons Jeon Post Betty Cunningham Morion Ralston Wondo Cutright Morgoret Rankin Valiean Edinger Jone Rentchler Polly Edmundson Ann Robinson Myra Eskew Betty Roush Helen Forris Nancy Roush Lorene Fitzwater Shirleen Sotterfield Betty Foster Jane Shuttleworth Mary Jo Gee Virginia K, Skaggs Jane Gidlev Nancy Smith Mory Hodlis Dorothv Snowden Barbara Hall Betty Snyder Jane Hall Corel Jean Stolnokcr Ann Harrison Ann Stone Mildred Hayes Helen Stuck Jane Heroid Agnes Tenney Mary Herrick Shirley Thomas Doris Hinds Jonice Joan Trinkle Barbara Hinshelwood Aldo Wagner Betty Jo Hogsett Joan White Kate Hornickel Morion Wickhom Morty Hunt Doris Williams Betty Jo Jacobs Lucy Lee Williams Jean Johnson Holloce Wilson Dolores Kelly Patricio Winston Norma Kennerson Susie Young Betty Lontz Patricia Pickens Page One Hundred and Six The Morris Shawkey chapter of the Future Teachers of America is open to all students who are preparing to teach.

This year, as in previous years, the staff has sought to report clearly and accurately the significant campus activities so that Wesleyon students may keep themselves informed about their school. The editor and the business manager are appointed by the Publications Committee on the basis of appli- cants ' journalistic experience, their schoolwork, and their interest in the PHAROS. The editor and the business manager select their own staffs from among those students interested in gaining journalistic experience. The highlight of the 1947-48 schoolyear ' s activities was an April Fool edition of the PHAROS. It came as a complete surprise to the entire campus — including most of the PHAROS staff members. 7 a u PHAROS STAFF Editor Pat Kent News editor Beverly Hill Sports editor Tene Borrelli Make-up editor Tom Jones Society editor Joan Hoplcins Feoture editor Betti Whitesell Reporters — Ben Wilson, Edgar Hamilton, Julia B.

Like most of our contemporaries unfamiliar with printing techniques, engraving pro- cesses, editorial methods, and the like, we accepted our task in the naive belief a yearbook practically makes itself — oil we had to do was sort the pictures OS they accumulated and goo them, not too sloppily, in some kind of order. Somehow we ' d con- fused yearbook with scropbook. Of course we eventually caught on; then, face to face with the enormity of our task, we realized we ' d hove to compromise with ourselves on our perfection- ism if we were to get out a book at all. Consequently we limped along as best we could with what co- operation, equipment, and assistance we could com- mand. Lest all this sound too opologetic, take note of this parting shot: next year is another year and YOU will hove the opportunity to moke the 1949 MURMURMONTIS everything you think a yearbook should be. Our blessings rest upon you. 9 TftufimunmoH tU EDITORIAL STAFF Tom Crossan Editor Chorles R.

A good spirit of cooperation between the bond and the cheer-leaders was shown and many events were heralded by the strains of Here ' s To Old Wesleyan and West Vir- ginia Wesleyan. Some of the members were students of instrumental music but many of them play for pleasure alone. A successful season has prompted Mr. Agey to begin preparations for next year. The main feature of the preparation so far has been the purchase of new uniforms in the gay colors of the Bobcat orange and block.

During the first semester, the Choir moved from its accustomed spot in the balcony to occupy a prominent place on the stage at many of the religious services. During the Christmos season, a special concert was sung for the public. This service was carried out by candlelight, and was repeated next day in chapel.

They appeared in both churches and high schools, and the programs included selected sacred and secular music. On April 18, the Choir conducted the morn- ing service in the First Methodist Church, Buckhannon, rendering their regular tour pro- gram.

It has a dual purpose, one of which is improving church music. The other, and probably more import- ant, is the promotion of the organ as a concert instrument. Local chapters ore located in nearly all American cities and are connected through- out the country with many music schools, conservatories, and colleges stressing music. In the Wesleyan chapter, meetings are held at which musical programs intended to further these purposes ore presented.

They began the year by entering a float in the Homecoming Parade. This was followed by the participation of two active teams in the intramural basketball tournament; these teams tied each other for top honors during the season. On March 5th, the Club sponsored an all-campus dance at the Buckhannon Lion ' s Club den. This activity proved to be a very bright spot in the campus program.

Led by Jack Snyder, the group took a census of the student body and found that 152 men had ot one time been Scouts. Of this number, three were Eagle Scouts, the highest rank in Boy Scouting. The national headquarters of the fraternity sent, In May, material for the group to build a chapter on the campus, but since the end of the schoolyeor was so near only a small beginning was accomplished at that time. When the College opened again in September the group continued its efforts to attain the membership required to activate the chapter. When, at length, the group found it was unable to ochieve this quoto due primarily to the financial obligation required, it was decided to waste no more time in an inoctive status. On December 3, 1947, it was moved and passed that the potential campus chapter of the Alpha Phi Omego fraternity dissolve and reorganize in the senior scouting category of the Scout Movement. With the help of District Commissioner Thurman Froshure, it was decided the group could best organize itself as a Scout Explorer Post. In April, 1948, the group received its nationol post charter in which it was officially designated as the West Virginio Scout Explorer Post No. 129. Early last summer, two members of the embryo organization. Bill and Harvey Brown, went to aquatic school in Ohio for five weeks. They were qualified there to work as life guards and swimming instructors, in which copacity they served through the summer at the West Virginia Scout Camp. Two other members, Mel Harold and Jack Snyder, attended the Crippled Children ' s Camp at Camp Horseshoe where they served as instructors and counselors. During this schoolyeor the organization sponsored a donee at the Student Union ofter one of the football game s, ond in January they held on evening of games and dancing also at the Student Union, A substontial amount of the decorating for the St, Patrick ' s Day dance was done by the group. The College weekly bulletins ore distributed regularly by members of the Explorer Post, Two of the members, Lejeune Lewis ond Bob Lindstedt, serve OS Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmaster, respectively, of the local Boy Scout troops.

Infinite past, the 1947-48 schoolyear seems one with those It has followed.

It was an Intense, throbbing, living thing that lifted our hearts with Its courage. Its cry of hope In the darkness. We ' ll remember the year not for Its total Impression — few will stop to tally It In that sense — , but we will hoard among our memories Its high- lights which we see In retrospection as the climbing crests of the surging wavelets breasting the great time-river moving the year out Into the lost, unshored sea of Time post, (Ed. note: Those unfamiliar with the mechanical processes of yearbook composition may question the Inclusion of some 1946-47 schoolyear pictures while some of this year ' s signifi- cant events have gone unplctured.
