Michael Late Benedum. whom the Christian Advocate called the nation ' s leading Methodist layman, was born in Bridgeport. Harrison County, on July 16. 1869. When he was fourteen years of age, he went to work for twenty-five dollars a month in a grist mill in his home com- munity. Ten years later he was assistant general land agent of the South Penn Oil Company, and by the time he was thirty he was the leading independent oil producer of West Virginia. Before he was fifty, he had dis- covered and developed many of the largest oil fields in America, as well as in Mexico. South America and Roumania, and had at- tained recognition as the nation ' s foremost petroleum pioneer. Although Mr. Benedum is today known throughout the world as the most successful oil pioneer in history, the great- est measure of his devotion and service has been to the church and to his fellow man. He has been identified with Methodism since childhood, and has demonstrated a particular interest in the work of West Vir- ginia Wesleyan College. His wise counsel has been extremely helpful in the rapid and sound development of the institution. Through his discovery and develop- ment of oil fields throughout the world. Mr. Benedum has added untold billions or dollars to the national wealth of America and to that of other nations. At the age of 80. he still actively direcis a far-flung oil empire that includes several corporations engaged in the production, re- fining, transportation and distribution of crude oil and petroleum products. With be- coming modesty, however, he is an officer and director of only one of the many cor- porate enterprises which he controls. At the same time he carries on his mani- fold business activities, his alert mind is deeply concerned with the forward march of Christianity which he regards as the last bulwark against Communism and all other expressions of Godless materialism. In recognition of his remarkable achievements and in particular appreciation of his outstanding contribution to Metho- dism and to all Christian institutions, we are pleased to dedicate the 1950 Murmur- montis to this distinguished West Virginian and great American.

You were angry at the professor who graded you lower than your self-evaluation, and you said mean things about the chapel speaker who interfered with your lunch hour, and maybe you even mentioned, in a fit of anger, that you were sorry you ever saw West Virginia Wcslcyan. But when the sunny hours and the cloudy ones are placed on the balance a true price may hi estimated for your life at Wesleyan. Or can you set a price on it? Remember the homecoming festivities? When Sunday came you were tired but happy. You ' ll never forget that blind date. Your friend told you she was a nice girl. Oh well! I wonder who set off the alarm clock in assembly. Did you ever get a chance to have your raincoat cleaned? Many world problems were solved in those bull sessions, to say nothing of the jokes ( and I had better not). Those sure were inter- esting line-ups on the girl ' s dorm ' s porches when 10:45 called your Cinderella, Finally you were measured for your graduation outfit. You shook hands with the big boys and fondled your sheepskin. And as you took your farewell stroll down the shady triangular walk you wondered when you would be back. I ' ll bet it will be soon. pat f eight Senior Class Seniors Enjoy Sunny Hours on Wesfeyan ' s Campus The Senior class began the year with thoughts of graduation in mind. We en- tered an antique, horse-drawn hearse in the Homecoming parade which drew much in- terest and attention and received honorable mention from the judges. The Seniors par- ticipated in all of the Homecoming activi- ties and were active in all social functions throughout the year. In January, commencement was held for thirty-six Seniors with Dr. Paul F. Douglas, president of American University. Washington. D. C as guest speaker. In April we faced the taking of Graduate Record exams and Comprehensives with our brains full of knowledge. Also we ordered announcements and caps and gowns for the one hundred and four members of the class of May. 1950. The Seniors par- ticipated in May Day activities and a dinner was given for the Senior girls with the Junior girls as hostesses. Recognition Day was held in May with the honors brought to many of the members. Commencement activities started with the Baccalaureate Service Sunday. May 28. A reception for seniors, their families and the faculty was held that afternoon with President and Mrs. W. J. Scarborough as host and hostess. A concert by the Music Department was given on Sunday night. On Monday night, the Commencement Play was presented and on Tuesday, May 30. the one hundred and four members of the Senior Class received their degrees; some with reluctance, some with pleasure. We have many pleasant memories of sunny hours here at Wesleyan. Arnold Akers Widemouth, W. Va. V. Va. Wcslcvan Group Ministry ROBERT L. ANDRICK Buckhannon. V. Va.

ELLEN ROUSH, Ti:m . B03 LiSENSKY, Pres. page twenty-four year of Fine School Spirit The class of ' 51 began its third year with a re- newed school spirit. The beginning of the year found many of the class members active in assisting the incoming Freshmen. Shortly after the beginning of the semester the class w.is reunited in a good old hill- billy reunion. The pro- gram was highlighted by a square dance in the gym followed by a marsh- mallow roast. The reunion set the class off to an active start. At Homecoming many of the students busied themselves in producing the novel skit. A Day In Agony while others were occupied in building the class float. The second semester found the class still in an industrious mood. In hopes of gaining a finan- cial groundwork the ' 51ers backed the student produc- tion of a musical tragedy. Lost Tomorrow which was directed by one of its members. Stanley Meyers. The musical was the out- standing Junior Class ac- tivity of the year. In planning for a final class outing and looking forward to their next and last grand year at West Virginia Wesleyan. the Class of ' 51 watched the closing moments of its third year.

The treasury was destitute of funds, and there was a bill on hand for expenses incurred in the Freshman year. President Johnson had a Sophomore Coun- cil elected to assist him in directing the class ' activi- ties. The members of the council were: Betty Som- mers, Barbara Harless, Eleanor Banks. Merle Swearingcn. Ken Minor, Henry Anderson, Ed Dassing, C a 1 Remade, By Williams, Jenny Belle Weaver. Sam Ross, and the class officers Dick Johnson, John Walker, Colleen Burke, and Mona Harris, The class spon- sored a dance and made enough money to finance the Homecoming activi- ties. The class had one of the outstanding floats in the Homecoming parade: and Club 52, featuring Shcckles Remade and Moisch Swearingen. was one of the best acts in Wesleyantics. The Sophomores will carry their famous $14.- 00 debt with them into their Junioryear for senti- mental reasons, but with a treasury with some- thing in it and a new ship of state captained by the able Merle Swearin- gen they need not fear a state of bankruptcy.

James Zornes, Sec. freshman Class Proves Her Worth to Wesley an The Freshman class arrived at X est ' irginia VC ' es- Icyan September 15 and 16, ready for tests, parties, gab, and work. Destiny decided they must build a bon- fire for the first thuse of the year. This they energetically did, collecting everything from scraps of paper to a telephone pole to make one of the biggest bonfires ever seen. Homecoming was the next prob- lem to be solved. The freshman part in the Wesleyantics showed one answer — the number being an interesting skit from the song, A You ' re Ador- able . Taking as their theme School Spirit, various members erected a float worthy of the class. They illus- trated school spirit by a large ther- mometer in the center of the vividly decorated float with the mercury pass- ing completely out of the thermometer to indicate an all time high. Ditfercnt students portrayed the academic and athletic work at Wesleyan. All this work was financed by the proceeds from the Fresh- man Frolics of Forty-Nine given one snowy Decem- ber night. The program consisted of freshman talent in a glee club, individual singing, group comedy, an- nouncing, individual performers in other skits, plus a guest tap artist. The approaching Christmas season required a tree on the campus which the class provided. Then vacation and back to school again. Lost Tomorrow had many fresh- men in its cast as did HMS Pinafore . Seventeen of those who had worked on the float threw chips into the kitty and were served a banquet with all the trimmings by Chef Coker at the First Baptist Church. Not only were freshmen found in the varsity eleven, but also Maravich ' s five almost always had at least four freshmen in the line up. Through these endeavors, the freshman class truly made itself a part of W ' eslevan. page forty-three MARY VIRGINIA MOORE, Assistant Professor of Business Administra- tion (1942).

Bobcats Play football, No Matter What the Weather The Bobcats didn ' t always play in the sunny hours, but then, electric lights can be made to look enough like sunshine that the illusion is still there. Attending a football game is never quite the same when you are no longer an undergraduate. The spirit hits the camp- us along with the crisp autumn air and the October colored leaves that fall to the ground and crackle like pop corn when you step on them. As you walk up Mead Street you hear the college band beating out a tune. You stop at Agnes Howard to pick up a gal and a gang, show your activity card at the gate. buy a program, and hunt a seat on the 50 yard line. The Bobcats stepped out of their class when they tangled with Xavier at Cincin- nati, and were reminded of the fact to the tune of 53-0. Returning to the home field, they met some stiff competition in a scrap- py Salem squad, emerging with a 6-6 tie. This was the second straight year the two teams had tied, with the Rossmen bouncing back to overcome Glenvillc 27-19 the fol- lowing week, A visit from West Liberty found the opposition a bit too tough for the locals, as the Hilltoppers downed their hosts 27-0 with one of the most formidable attacks You ' re just nicely settled when the Bobcats run onto the field . . . And Bob Lemmerman. Lynn Miller, or someone else tempts you to buy pop corn, candy, or po- tato chips. There ' s the kickoff! You yell vour lungs out with Hold that line , Here ' s to old Wesleyan . Block that kick , and Fight team fight . The team rolls up the score: there ' s a v ' histle and its all over. You push your way out of the stadium with the rest of the crowd.

The strength of the visitor ' s reserves was the deciding factor in this game, as in many others. Facing an untied, unscored-on St. Vincent eleven, the Bobcats managed to score against their immovable line. Charley Shephard ripped off a brilliant 47 yard run to the opponent ' s 2 yard marker where Zaner Hinkle dived over for 6 points. The foes avenged the tally with a 52-6 defeat, but the damage to their record had been done. A 20-12 licking from W. Va. Tech and 20-6 lacing from the old rival, D K E. sent the locals down the road to despair a bit deeper, terminating in the humiliation of a 61-6 smearing from the Golden Eagles of Morris-Harvey. Zaner Hinkle led the limited scoring with 24 points, while Shephard and Prim- ozic had 12. Ross, Newbrough, Kelly, and Forsythe each had one touchdown and Zickefoose made 4 conversions to round out the season ' s scoring. Coach C. B.

Highlights Hold Prospects for a Better Season in ' 50 toughest eleven-game schedules he has had in many years, and emerged with one of the worst records he has had since coming to the campus as a coach in 1925. With but one returning starter in the backficld in All-state Chuck Shephard, the Bobcats worked around a X formation offense in their attempt to produce a winning team. Late in the season a single-wing at- tack was added, but to no avail. For the first time in the history of the school, a two-platoon system was inaguratcd with a defensive unit resting the offensive squad and actually playing more than the ball- carrying division. The Orange and Black eked out a 27- 19 win over a hcplcss Glcnvillc eleven, and drew a tie with Salem ' s Tigers. Other than these two encounters, defeat was the order of the day for th: Bobcats. Bill Newbrough won the Frank M. Thompson trophy for the most outstanding player on the team, and Co-captains Cal Forsythe and Shep- hard were named to the second team in All- Conference polling in post-season recog- nitions. Cebe is looking forward to an easier schedule, and more experienced players next year: but we cannot forget the un- tiring efforts of the players in a hopeless cause. ROSS.VIAN IN A T.

Formerly it had been called the Seminary Herald (1892) and Seminary Collegiate (1900). Throughout its history the Pharos has remained a publication by the students, for the students. Those who have been interested in Journalism as a career, or have wished to gain practical experience have composed the staff. The Pharos has for its objectives the complete coverage of all news for students, faculty, and friends; cultivating a constructive school spirit, and the ad- vancement of the general objectives of the college. September found a horde of eager freshmen (lock- ing to the first Pharos meeting along with a few seasoned veterans of the preceding years. It might be significant to mention that 15 freshmen dominated the staff during the year. Deadline was usually the chief evil encountered by the staff and caused them to adopt the motto tempus fugit. Highlights of the year were the Homecoming resumi, April Fool ' s edition, the May Day-Commence- ment, and a series of lectures about the different phases of journalism. A bigger and better Pharos is planned for next year with the advent of a weekly 4 page paper. Wonder whats for Lunch? W ' h.il d si,.: sav.

The Ring is composed of outstanding students in chemistry, and who maintain a high academic standing. This year the Ring underwent some radical changes. The major change was in the form of affiliation with ACS (American Chemical Society). Now the Ring is officially the Benzene Ring Chapter of the A.merican Chemical Society. Prominent men of science (par- ticularly Wesleyan graduates) are imported to present bi-weekly programs. Dr. Nicholas Hyma, head of Wes- leyan ' s chemistry department, is the organizations sponsor. A Strawberry Breakfast is planned for May 28 as a combination farewell to the seniors of the Ring and a welcome back to alumni. Officers for the current year are; John Tucker, president; Charles Egolff, vice-president; Robert Young, secretary; and Lynn Lewis, treasurer. Christian Service fellowship Promotes Year of Christian Activities The school year 1949-50 found the Christian Service Fellowship as active as it has always been. It met weekly, on Tuesday afternoons for communion with God and for fellowship. At these meetings, the group had the enriching experience of listening to ex- cellent speakers. In service, the Christian Service Fellowship had done much. It completed the Weston Project, and has taken a Prison Project where members of the group go to the State Prison Work Camp to hold services every Sunday afternoon. In addition to these, the group had the experience of giving broadcasts of religious dramas once a week over Station WHA ' through the Lenten season. Socially, the group had several parties and other fun activities. This organization heartily welcomes anybody inter- ested in Christian work, and it hopes that with the work of these Christian students, our college, our com- munity, our nation, and our world may be better places in which to live.

Psychology Club - - for Interested Students The West ' irginia Wesleyan Psychological Society is a new organization on the campus this year. It was organized early in the fall and has carried on a full and interesting program. The purpose of the society is to provide a common medium of expression for students having a serious interest in psychology, thereby broad- ening their approach to, and their experience in the field. The membership is limited to those majoring or minoring in psychology, and affiliate membership is granted to those who are interested in psychology and have had some courses in the field. The activities of the society include projects of building mazes, reaction time boards, a visual board, and of conducting public opinion and propaganda polls. Experiments in hypnotism and extra-sensory percep- tion were conducted and Dr. Franquiz spoke to the group on the subject of Hypnotism. Dr. Zellars, the superintendent of Weston State Hospital, spoke to the group about Mental illness. Exchange meetings were held with Davis and Elkins Mental Hygiene Club, and the society visited Spencer Hospital for the mentally ill at Spencer, W. Va. At regular meetings experiments in maze-running by a hamster, and experiments with finger mazes and reaction time boards were conducted. Dr. ' ' ayhinger spoke to the group concerning vocations in psychology and gave much valuable information concerning neces- sary training in the field and how that training might be secured. As a special service to the campus, the society spon- sored a naovie on Human Reproduction which was followed by a panel discussion. Those taking part in the panel were Professor Arnold of the Biology De- partment, Dr. Rice, representing the Ministry, Dr. ' ayhinger, representing the Psychology Department, Dr. Currie, representing the Sociology Department, and Dr. Chamberlin, representing the Medical Profession. The society also sponsored another movie entitled Psychiatry in Action. page sixty-six Benzene Ring First row, left to right: Barbara Chaffeo, Merle Sweringcn, Calvin Remade, Dick Johnson.

Alpha delta Pi Celebrates Greatest Year of Success The Alpha Delta Pi ' s opened the year with the greatest success by winning the first prize for the Homecoming Float. The float represented the Greek idea of victory. The formal rush party was held at Ross ' s camp on the Buckhannon River. It was in the form of a hobo party. We rushed 33 girls, of which number. 1 3 were honored with membership. The pledging for these rushees was held at the home of Mrs. Reger. our sor- ority mother on November 23, 1949. The A D Pi ' s shared the Christmas spirit with two girls of the Erie school in Olive Hill. Kentucky, by sending them numerous gifts. The girls gift wrapped the presents and then went caroling. The pledges were very active. Among activities was a tea held for the pledges of the Alpha Gamma Delta and Alpha Xi Delta Sororities on Jan. 15. 1950. The actives held a coke party for the pledges at the Union on Jan. 1 7. The pledges held an informal party for actives at the Union on February 1 5. The second semester rush party was held at the Union. It was in the form of a Valentine Party. Following the party was a candle-lighting service which formally in- troduced courtesy week. During this week the pledges performed different duties and acts showing courtesy toward one another. Courtesy week closed with an Alumnae tea held at 49 S. Florida St. page sfxti -eight Pat Conklin.

To date, the Order directs 74 active chapters throughout the country with well over 34.000 members. Beta Chi has been a tradition founding organization since its founding. Its annual social affairs including the fall warm-up hayride and wiener roast and numerous original theme house parties down to the gala winter formal and elaborate Dixie Ball are anticipated long before the actual dates and well remembered long after the last good nights. Many organizations and members within Beta Chi have received campus recognition. The K A glee club under the direction of George Weigle has achieved much acclaim as connoisseurs of mellow harmony.

In the ofF-season between football and basketball when it is too sloppy to play outside, and vigorous Bobcats and Bobkittens seek an outlet for dormant energy, W ' esleyan ' s field house becomes the scene of a peculiar sport. The game is played with a net resembling one that might be used for tennis. But this is far from tennis. A ball a little smaller than a basketball passes to and fro over the jacked- up tennis net. No other equipment is required for this sport, except maybe a bandaid now and then. This is volleyball! Set em up! Spike it! Kill it! Knock it down their throats! This is an example of the peculiar vernacular which is synonymous with the phenomenom. I have been told that the game was originated by a man who was seek- ing a sport less strenuous than tennis but still affording a reasonable amount of exercise. If this was his original in- tention it seems to me that the game has gotten a little out of hand. It has become as strenuous as tennis, and is more dangerous since there is a better chance of more people being crippled or maimed. Each learn is comprised of six players. That is, each mans team. I believe the girls require more voices than uncontrollable limbs to get the ball from one head to another. However, regardless of the adverse comment, volleyball is here to stay. Each year more and more unsuspecting ad- dicts take their life in their hands and sign up with a team. If vou should ask them what is so fascinating about the game, they might answer. It ' s more fun than being beat on the head with a hammer. I wonder. page seventy- three Winter Let us walk in the white snow In a soundless space; With footsteps quiet and slow.

Maravich Builds Powerful Bobcat five in First Year Coach Press Maravich began his first year at coaching at Wesleyan by building a team of one senior and four fresh- men into a winning combination which captured fifth place in the Intercollegiate Conference during the season and placed second in the post-season tournament. The team pulled plenty of upsets during the year, but they also had some bad nights ' when they couldn ' t hold the pace of a blister- ing Morris Harvey or Davis B Elkins. The Bobcats served notice on the coaches of the con- ference that they were out to win by their performance in the opening game. A supposedly powerful Tech team found it hard going before edging the Orange and Black 5 6-54. From there on throughout the season Wesleyan was a re- spected opponent. Highlight of the regular season came when the ancient rival. Davis Elkins. invaded the Bobcat lair and went home on the short end of a 72-63 score. This was the Senator ' s second loss in the conference, as they had already sewed up first place in the conference runnings. The Bob- cats played magnificently, with Captain Sugar Mailing taking rebounds beautifully, and center Jim Munncll holding down the towering Hap Huey who had scored 60 points in one game against Morris -Harvey. As the tournament opened in Buckhannon. Wesleyan drew a bvc in the first round and went into the Morris - Harvev fracas the definite underdogs. However, the ' Cats took an early lead before the brilliant George King could hit for the Golden Eagles. It was a thrilling contest throughout, with guard Ted Come dropping a swishing set shot from near mid-court with 15 seconds remaining to give Wesleyan the lead. Come was fouled as the final buzzer sounded and converted two fouls as Wesleyan upset the visitors, 74-70. The following night the Orange and Black again were vic- torious in a close contest, downing West Liberty 60-57. In the tourney final, though, the boys were just too tired to repeat their earlier performance against D t E as Huey dropped in 32 points to lead the Senators to a 77-56 de- feat of the Bobcats. Freshman Jim Munnell began the season as a forward, then switched to the center post where he continued to lead the Bobcat scoring, totaling 362 points for the season. Lanky Loren Brake developed accuracy in his long set shots and hit for 2 37 points, followed closely by diminuttive George Danovich with 2 34 counters, mostly from one-hand push shots. Guard Ted Come made 188 points in addition to his valuable floor work, and Cookie Leffard made 1 3 3 lalleys as he enrolled the second semester. Big Harry Johnson added 120 points in his last year of play, while Chuck Elkins made 9. John Southern 6. Jack Campbell 5 and Scott Withers 2. Captain Sugar Mailing led his freshmen charges in every encounter, and finished his fourth year for the Cats in fine style, being honored with a post on the All -tournament squad for his performance in that event. He was second in scoring for the team with 24 9 points, but he was playing a completely new style of ball from that of his old coach. Cebe Ross. Sugar proved himself the master of that change, though, and in addition improved his defensive game greatly. Everv thing considered, it was a completelv successful season. The prospects for another year are bright with five freshmen who have been starters this season ready to hold defensive record they now have and add the conference championship to their possessions. The Bobcats had the best defensive record they now have and add the conference championship to their possessions. The Bobcats had the best defensive record in the loop this season, thev moved from last place in the standings a year ago to fifth: thev went into the final encounter of the tournament. That ' s an enviable record for any coach to build in one year, par- ticularly when it was Maravich ' s first as a head coach. page secenty-seoen Miss Kncpshield ' s Army on ihc march.

This year Wesleyan was the only non-State school represented in the State Inter-Collegiate Debate Tourna- ment at Montgomery. Here Weslcyan was represented by the winning team in the intra-mural Gold Medal Tourna ment: Helen Fisher and Fred Cooke, affirmative, and Eugene Maley and Edward Duff, negative. An all girls squad consisting of Helen Payne and Jennie Belle Weaver. affirmative, and Colleen Burke and Ellen Roush. negative, debated a home and home scries with Salem, and a double debate at Potomac State before entering an invitation tour- nament at Marietta College where they met various Ohio college teams. The highlight of the girls ' season was the trip to Potomac State, at Keyset, where they were fog- bound for the night and enjoyed the cordial hospitality of their hosts. Sharpening up for the State Tournament. Wcsleyan ' s representatives enjoyed a pair of home and home debates with Glcnville prior to the trip to Montgomery. Philosophical fraternity Pi Epsilon Theta is the national philosophical frater- nity on Wesleyan campus. The membership is composed of those students who have a serious interest in philosophy and who have ma:n tained a high scholastic average, and faculty members who arc interested in the field. Regular monthly meetings are held and this year in preparation for the state meeting of the West Virginia Philosophical Society the fraternity held bi-month ' .y meet- ings. The highlight of the activities each year is the state meeting which is a bi-annual affair. Twice each year students and faculty get together to present papers and exchange ideas. The fall meeting was held at Alderson Broaddus College at Philippi. W. Va. and Bert Dowler presented a paper on the subject. ' The Problem of Racial Freedom in a Dynamic Democratic Society. Stanley Meyers and Dorothy Steinkraus defended the paper from the floor. The spring meeting was held at Bethany College at Bethany, W. Va. and Julia High presented the paper on the subject. Values. Relative or Absolute. Eugene Haaf and Eugene Maley defended the paper. The climax of the year ' s activities was the spring initia tion and banquet. Professor Hallam delivered the lecture at the banquet on the subject Cybernietics. OFFICERS President Dorothy Steinkraus Vice-President Eugene Haaf Secretary Julia High Treasurer Stanley Meyers page eighly-fice Alpha Psi Omega Organized as National Honor fraternity Alpha Psi Omega was organized as an honorary dra- matic fraternity for the purpose of providing an honor society for those doing a high standard of work in dra- matics. Through the expansion of Alpha Psi Omega among the colleges of the United States and Canada a wider fellowship for those interested in the college theatre was provided. The fraternity is not intended to take the place of the regular dramatic club or other producing groups, but as students qualify, they are rewarded by e ' ection to membership in this society. The national Society was founded August 12. 1925 at Fairmont State College in Fairmont. W. Va. It has now grown to a total of 230 active chapters with Alpha being the forty-first chapter to be formed. During the year ' 49- ' 50. there were four members in Alpha Rho Chapter. They are: Raymond Moore, presi- dent: Barbara Capet, vice president; Julia Cheng, treasurer; and Jack Ferrell. The sponsor of this chapter is Mrs. James W ' elshonce. Thirteen Students Lead Group Ministry Thirteen ministerial students under the supervision of Professor Davis operate two circuits of churches. The col- lege maintains a station wagon and a sedan for the use of the group in their church work. The Harrison Circuit, the first group of churches to test the group ministry plan, was so well pleased that a new circuit was added this year. The new circuit includes the churches located in the Frcemansburg area. Group Ministry has only been in operation for a com- paratively short number of years. However, it continues to prove its worth more and more each year, not only as a means of providing worship for the outlying churches, but also as a valuable source of experience for student ministers. Lambda Theta Mu Lives in Dining Hall Lambda Theta Mu is an organization whose members are employed in the Agnes Howard Hall dining room. Meetings were held around the dinner table over dessert. Once each year the girls of Agnes Howard show their appre- ciation for fine service by reversing the regular procedure. Volunteer co-eds roll up the sleeves of white waiters jackets and serve a special dinner to Lambda Theta Mu members. There is also a traditional softball game played each year between the tray handlers from Agnes Howard and the hash pushers from the Gym dining hall. The game out- come is unpredictable as well as the number of waiters who will be able to serve students that evening. page eighty -six Alpha Psi Omega Jack Ferrcll. Barbara Capet. Julia Chang. R. I..

Beta Sigma chapter was installed at West Virginia Weslcvan in 1948. the first national social fraternity for women to be established on the campus. Alpha Xi Delta opened Wesleyan ' s social calendar with a dance in the Student Union. This social function began the year ' s activities. Barbara Berthy. Beta Sigma ' s president was elected by the student body as Homecoming Queen: two of her attendants were Alpha Xi Deltas: Louise Marshall, a junior and Colleen Burke, a sophomore. Each year members of Beta Sigma remem- ber many unfortunate children in Buck- hannon and the surrounding area with gifts: Clothing, toys, books, games — some new, some reconditioned — all carefully selected ac- cording to the ages, sizes and interests of the children. This local philanthropic project be- gan several years ago when Beta Sigma was a local sorority on Wesleyan ' s Campus. Alpha Xi Deltas across the nation will have more than usual interest in the Mid-Century White House Conference on Children which is to be held in December. 1950.

History of Alpha Sigma Pfii The Cale of Alpha Sigma Phi. tenth oldest social fraternity in the collegiate realm, begins 105 years ago, December 6, 1845. This date marks the birth of a fra- ternal spirit echoed today throughout 74 eager chapters widely scattered over this great nation. Founded at Yale in 1845 by Louis Manigault. Stephen Rhea, and Horace Weiser. Alpha Sigma Phi became a sophomore society. As the junior fraternities vied for con- trol of Alpha Sigma Phi. the struggle became increasingly keen and bitter, even to the point of physical combat. The faculty then stepped in to suppress Alpha Sigma Phi and forbade the initiation of its pledges. But the spirit of Alpha Sigma Phi ' s brotherhood had found its way into other schools and many chapters were installed, one of them being Beta Nu at West Virginia Wesleyan: its contemporary active members being com- prised of those men at whose faces you now peer. Alpha Sigma Phi. one of the oldest Greek letter soci- eties on the Wesleyan campus, is the culmination of several fraternal mergers. The first occurred in 193 3 when Xi Alpha Tau. a local dub organized in 1923. was ab- sorbed as Psi chapter of Alpha Kappa Pi. Th:n. in 1 946. the greatest single step was taken in the enlargement of Alpha Sigma Phi when Alpha Kappa Pi and Alpha Sigma Phi consolidated to bring our chapter roster to 72. But the final chapter of Alpha Sigma Phi has not been nor will it ever be penned, for Alpha Sigma Phi will surge ever onward with the zeal and boundless energy of youth. will strive relentlessly toward her high ideals and objectives, will instil in its men a spirit of brotherhood and the know- ledge that whatever they do. wherever they may go. Alpha Sigma Phi is with them. page ntnett Alpha Sig ' s Boast Many Social Achievements This year the men of Beta Nu Chapter of Alpha Sigma Phi were initially recognized on campus in their participation in Homecoming. Their participation in Weslevantics was the presentation of Shakespeare ' s tragedy. JULIUS C ESAR. Gags fell and hilarity made the mighty emperor take a back seat. After the homecoming game, the doors of the chapter house at 26 Meade S;. were thrown wide open to the old grads. November marked the date of the first pledge smoker. The men chosen responded well to requests during the ensuing pledge season, and March 26 saw eleven of them formally initiated. The pledge dance was held at McThrny ' s Tea Room. Following this event in December was a Christmas Dance held at the same p!ace. Shortly before Christmas vacation the Alpha Sigs joined the ladies of Alpha Xi Delta in an evening of carol- ing. Afterward, the weary songsters were revived with cookies and cocoa at the fraternity house. The pledges, not to be outdone, held a dance at the Student Union with the actives as guests of honor. Music was by Dave Casto and his regime. Everyone had a fine time. The social event of the year for all Alpha Sigma Phis was the anuual formal held at the Stonewall Jackson Hotel in Clarksburg. March 10. Long will this dance be remem- bered by the brothers and their lady loves. Heinic Hammel and his band were the music makers. In the intramural activities the fraternity showed up very well. The basketball team ended the season in a lie for first place of the A League with a six to one record. However, they were beaten in the championship game.

Professors believe lh.it students lorn by doing. In laic March a group of stu- dents approached Miss Crisman of the English Department to see if a broadcast might be ar- ranged over the local station WHAW at Weston. A ta ' k with the program manager at the studio resulted in 1 5 minutes of public service time for a series of broadcasts each Thursday night. In April the time was extended to one-half hour. The requirements for interpreting a role were voice quality, interest, and understanding of the role. Anyone was invited to try- out. Story dramatizations produced included: The Bishop ' s Candle- sticks by Victor Hugo; The Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde: The Split Cherry Tree by Jesse Stuart; There Are Smiles bv Ring Lardner; Lost Hori- zon by James Hilton; The Failure by Katherine Haviland- Taylor; and The Test by Joseph Ruscoll.

Joseph Jones Tennis Team Expands Wesley an ' s Sport Program With official recognition from the athletic department of the college and the valuable assistance of a coach, interest mounted in the tennis team on our campus as the 1950 season opened. Provided that the team play five matches. Wesleyan sweaters would be awarded the participants according to Athletic Director C. B. Cebe Ross. Further encouragement was added by the college with the engage- ment of Mr. W. A. Bill Hallam to coach the group. Not only Wesleyan. but the entire Conference recog- nized tennis as a major sport this season, rounding off the season with an all-Conference tournament opening on May 1 6 in Ogelby Park. Wheeling. Wesleyan entered this event, giving a good showing for the first year of their participation in such an event. As it was required by the West Virginia Intercollegiate Conference that all matches be completed before the all- state tournament, it was not easy for Wesleyan to work off five matches due to the rainy weather. Postponements and difficulties in arranging schedules caused considerable trouble, and when a match was started, rain would bring it to a sudden stop. The opener came with a visiting Fairmont team, which overpowered the locals 6-2. Wesleyan had very little prac- tice on the courts, yet put up a strong battle. Freshman Steve Keoseian defeated a Falcon for the only singles victory for the ' Ca ' .s. R. L. Moore and Graham Keneweg captured a doubles victory over the visitors, but rain stopped one doubles match so Wesleyan remained behind. After two postponements with W. Va. Tech and Potomac State, the locals traveled to Salem to start a match on May 1. The meet was originally scheduled for Buck- hannon. but a Sunday night shower made the clay courts inaccessable so the contest was shifted to Salem, on the Tigers ' all-weather courts. All went well until a mid- afternoon squall stopped the festivities. Arrangements were made to finish the match, when the two teams ' schedules permitted it. West Virginia Tech invaded the Bobcat lair and went home victorious. This was the first contest of the year which rain did not cut short, but perhaps it would have been be.ter for the Bobcats if a shower had intervened as at one point they led. At the opening of the season. Stan Meyers rated the number one s lot on ihe Orange and B ' ack team. Merle Barnes, number two. followed in order by Graham Kene- weg. R. L. Moore. Bill Gwennap. and Steve Koeseian. However, this order was switched occasionally according to the opposition, in an effort by Coach Hallam to find a combination which could win. Generally speaking, the entire situation concerning tennis received quite a boost during the 1950 season. The awarding of lef.ers and tutoring by Mr. Hallam added much to the atmosphere surrounding, the sport, as Wes- leyan once again became interested in expanding her sports realm and building up the tennis competition. page ninety-eight John Walker, Dick Bartlett Golf Is a Part of the Intramural Program When Athletic Director C. B. Cebe Ross issueci a call for those interested in forming a golf team for the 1950 season, only one man, Scott Withers, appeared. Therefore, with no interest shown by ihe students, the golf schedule was cancelled and the sport temporarily disbanded on our campus. Wesleyan had fielded a team for the three preceding years, as well as before the war, but with the entire squad graduating at the end of the 1949 season, interest dropped to a new low. As Wesleyan has no golf course, the teams played their home matches on the Country Club grounds outside Buckhannon. No golf coach was appointed, as such, although Dave Reemsnyder did lend some assistance when his intramural program permitted. Thus with little connection between college and team, the players scheduled matches and won their share of them. The 19-49 team made a particularly fine showing, winning more than half of their contests from the West Virginia Intercollegiate Con- ference and others, such as West Virginia University. Bill Manser .and Keith Queen appeared as letterman from the preceding year, and were joined by l.eRoy Canfield. John Carpenter. Ray Hostetler, and John Myers. With the cancellation of a full 1 5-match schedule for 1950. plans are being laid for another attempt next year. The West Virginia Inter- collegiate Conference recognized golf as a major sport this year, arrang- ing an all-state meet in Ogleby Park, Wheeling to determine the state champion college team. Thus with official recognition from the con- ference and a genuine interest from the Bobcat athletic department, it is hoped that next year will find a Wesleyan golf team entered in intercollegiate competition. page ninety-nine Musk; Hai,l Three talents that are not buried at Wesleyan further development through cooperation.

Community Council Gives Wesley an Adequate Student Government The Community Council and its com- mittees have again given to the students of Wesleyan a well rounded program of activi- ties and government. With the exception of the printing of the Directory by the Publi- cations Committee, the functions for which the Council has been established have been adec]uatcly fulfilled. Witli the coming of younger students to our campus, our socalled student apathy problem of the past has been greatly elimi- nated this year. The Council has tried to broaden its knowledge by sending representa- tives to the N.S. A. Congress at the University of Illinois and to the State West Virginia Federation of College Students conferences. It felt that it had almost as much to give as it had to receive in the way of student govern- ment affairs. page on? hundred three Mr, Agey Promotes Strings Class In order to produce a larger and finer orchestra at Wesleyan you must train musi- cians. And that is what Professor Agey intends to do. An accomplished violinist him- self. Mr. Agey teaches a group of students some of the tricks of the strings. Mr. Agey has been somewhat hampered in his orchestral work by a lack of stringed instruments. In order to alleviate this condi- tion, he has formed stringed instrument classes such as the one pictured. As the students de- velop in skill he transfers them into the col- lege orchestra. Most of the students in his string classes are music majors and minors who can already play one or more instrument. Three B ' s further Interest in Biology The Beta Mu Chapter of Beta Beta Beta National Honorary Fraternity is composed of students who are majors or minors in biology. The purpose of the organization is to stimu- late sound scholarship, to promote the des- semination of scientific truth, and to promote biological research. Bi-monthly meetings are held at which provisional members deliver reports on topics of biological interest. Besides this requirement for entrance, the candidates for provisional membership must have satis- factory grades and character. On May 8. 1950, final initiation was held for the provisional members of the current year. Officers for the year 1949-50 are as fol- lows: Charles Given, pres. : Wilton Tenney. vice-pres. ; Betty Rude, secy.-treas. : and Charles Tunstall, historian. Dr. George Ross- bach is faculty advisor for the fraternity. Conduct Committee The Conduct Committee is one of the organizations of the Community Council. The membership of the committee consists of the dean of the college as chairman: the dean of students: two faculty members appointed by the president of the college: and four stu- dents elected by the community council. The duty of this committee is to deal with all matters of student conduct having campus- wide significance, provided that the power to dismiss a student from the college be reserved for the administration committee of the faculty. The committee has no regular meet- ing time. It meets only when there has been an act of misconduct. It is not the policy of the committee just to hear the facts of a case and prescribe punish- ment, but to help the student straighten out his difficulties. poge one hundred four II f : rtpM Stringed Instrument Class First row: Mr. Agcy, Marjoric Garrett.

It was organ- ized to increase recreational opportunities for Wesleyan women. It is a local organization affiliated with the American Federation of College Women, a national organi- zation for women athletic associations. The organization was introduced to the 1949-50 fresh- man with a weiner roast and council circle at the City Park. Each monthly meeting consisted of business and enter- tainment. Some of the programs to be remembered are the Christmas Party and the scavenger hunt. A muchenjoyed hamburger fry concluded the year ' s activities. The Christmas party is tradition with WAA members. Its main purpose is obtaining and distributing gifts to the under-privileged children in Buckhannon. The Intramural Sports program sponsored by WAA provides a wide and varied program for girls interested in individual and team sports. By participating in these intra murals and activities, a woman may receive an athletic award. This group cooperated with the Music Department in sponsoring the annual May Day week-end. They also par ticipated in the inter-frarernity sing. The WAA is one of the largest organizations on campus and is directed by Miss Charlotte Knepshield. director of physical education for women. The officers for the year were: President. Julia Cheng; vice president. Jean Burton: secretary. Ellen Roush: treas- urer. Louise Marshall: publicity manager. Mary Kritzer: sports manager. Helen Payne. Panfje ienic Promotes Better Interfraternity Relations jip Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Zi Delta, and Alpha Delta Pi. the three national women ' s fraternities on campus, formed the Panhellenic Council to promote better inter- fraternity relationship. Two members of each fraternity are elected to the Council to discuss and decide rushing rules and programs for each year. A tea is usually held for the girls interested in becoming members of one of the organizations. This year Panhellenic has carried the brunt of all fraternity relations on campus because of the non-function- ing of the regular Inter-fraternity Council. The Council volunteered to sonsor the annual inter-fraternity sing which is a part of the May Day exercises. The Panhellenic Council has helped make this year one of the most successful in the history of fraternities on Wesleyan ' s campus. Fraternities are entrenching their or- ganizations as an integral part of college life at Wesleyan. Future Teacfters insure Better Education FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA m9 ' mO The Morris P. Shawkey chapter of the Future Teach- ers of America headed by Foster E. Starcher had as projects this year a study of current state and national legislative education, established a committee to sponsor a guidance clinic, developed an active interest in organizing FTA clubs in area high schools. They observed American Edu- cation Week and visited schools to observe teachers at work. Several outstanding speakers were presented during the year, and climaxed at the annual banquet in April by an address given by Phares E. Reeder. a leader in W. X a. ' s education circles. A circulating library was established as an aid to practicing teachers. Movies concerning the policies and practices of education were presented to the group to aid in preparing them for their future work. Officers for the year other than Mr. Starcher were: Vice-president, Lucy Lee Williams; secretary. Betty M. Cross: treasurer. Lester C. Brady, librarian, Norman K. Curtis: activities chairman, Marty Hunty, and program chairman, Evelyn Smith. Dr. J. L. Hupp and Prof. A. A. Fry sponsor the organization. page one hundred seven Alpha Gamma delta This is how the Alpha Gam ' s have grown. Alpha Gamma Delta, social fraternity for women was founded on May 30, 1904, at Syracuse University, New York. The inspira- tion for its beginning came to Dr. Wellesley P. Coddington, a professor of philosophy at Syracuse. The first initiation on November 1 8. 1 904, gave the eleven founders two new sisters. On June 16. 1905, Beta chapter was in- stalled at the Unversity of Wisconsin. Madi- son, Wis., and Alpha Gamma Delta became national. Recent installations of chapters in Canada have made it an international fra- ternity. On May 20, 1948, the Sigma Pi Delta, local sorority on the campus of West Virginia Wesleyan College became the sixteenth chap- ter of Alpha Gamma Delta to be established since its founding. The new chapter was called Alpha Omicron. President.

The new chapter rooms on the fifth floor of Agnes Howard Hall gave Alpha Omicron Chapter a home. The girls Whipped up Waynesburg to win second prize in the Homecoming parade. Alda Wagner and Mary Buffington represented Alpha Gamma Delta in the cele brations as Senior and Freshman Attendants to the Home- coming Queen. On October 22. Barbara Harless and Ruth Smith, along with several alumni were initiated into Alpha Gamma Delta. A Plantation Party was the theme of the formal rush party held in November. On November 20. twenty girls pledged Alpha Gamma Delta. They were honored by the active members with a gala pajama party and the tradi- tional tea. On December 14. the Pledge Dance was held at Mathenys. The annual Christmas party and group caroling celebrated the Christmas season. A Turn-About movie party marked Valentine ' s Day. Installation of the pledge class took place on February 18. with fifteen pledges going active. Second semester rushing resulted in Betty Jean Crabb and Marjorie Garrett pledging Alpha Gam.

Sigma Eta Delta local fraternity began the year of 1950 by becoming Delta Gamma chapter of Theta Chi National Fraternity. In- cluded in the festivities of this momentous oc- casion were the formal initiation ceremonies which took place on January 7. 1950. Fol- lowing the initiation a banquet was given at the First Methodist church with several na- tional and local dignitaries present and our own President Scarborough as speaker of the evening. The day drew to climax with an in- stallation ball held at the local Lions Den with Dave Casto and his orchestra supplying the musical atmosphere for this event. The femi- nine guests of the evening looked very chic with their wrist corsages of red and white carnations. Throughout the year several smokers were held. The Fraternity made plans for an extensive social program to fill out the calen- dar. The first function was the National Roundup of Theta Chi, April 21. This con- sisted of simultaneous chapter meetings which extended from coast to coast. A series of Date parties and Alumni smokers were planned for spring. Also included in these plans was an open house. On May 13, there was the annual spring dance at the Columbia Club in Weston. This was the Theta Chi sweetheart dance: the high light of the evening being the crowning of the fraternity sweetheart. hundred ten as National Fraternity Sigma Eta Delta fraternity began this year as one of the oldest fraternities on the campus, and ended it by becoming its newest in the name of Delta Gamma of Theta Chi fraternity. The Sigma Eta Delta ' s past record is a fine one, dating back to 1925. Temporarily inactive during the war years, the local Sig- Mates were re-activated in 1947. It contained a total of six members but grew persistently. There was a total membership of forty -three initiated into Theta Chi on January 7, 1950. The activities of Sigma Eta Delta were some- what limited the first semester of 1949. Mem- bers participated in all intramural sports and won a cup in volley ball competition. The local also had it ' s entry in ' Wesleyantics. Blood in the Saddle. As Christmas approached, the fraternity buzzed with activity and on January the seventh, the highlight of the local ' s existence was being recorded as history. Present at the initiation banquet were George Griesmere, National Grand Marshall; George Callender, National Field Secretary: President Scar- borough: Dr. Schoolcraft: Dr. Hupp, Dean of Men: presidents of the nationals on the campus: visito ' -s from nearby. Theta Chi chapters: and members of Delta Gamma. One month later. Delta Gamma moved into a house on Barbour street and the fol- lowing week started dining service in the house. As the year drew to a close, the fra- ternity ' s membership totaled forty-nine. Delta Gamma actives represent eight states: West Virginia. Pennsylvania. Mary- land. New York. Massachusetts. Ohio. Con- necticut, and New Jersey. About six of Theta Chi ' s forty-nine members hold student of- fices. Pouring: Mrs, John Vayhingcr .ind Mrs, Bryon Arnold.

In fact, you can never depend on the weather. So if it should happen to be rain- ing or snowing or sleeting, or maybe all three at once fsometimes it does) the ping pong table at the Union may be just what you ' re looking for. Not as an umberlla, of course, but as a means of relaxation. To illustrate what I mean — suppose you have a free hour between classes (A free hour is one that you haven ' t paid for) . You were planning to spend this free hour skipping around the sunlit campus. But to your expecta- tion it has started to sprinkle, and I use the term sprinkle loosely. So you and the bees ( and probably six or seven stray dogs) head for the Union. Since no one needs a fourth for a game of Old Maid, and all of the booths are occupied by coats belonging to the students who are dancing in the next room, and the reading room is too noisy for sleeping, you find yourself at a loss as to what to do. Finally the problem is solved as you notice the ping pong game at the far end of the building. You hastily zip open your briefcase in search of your paddie. Let me see — it was in here this morning when I replaced my tooth- brush. Oh yes. here it is under my hip boots. You dash into the ping pong area and shout. Next game! Eight irritated voices respond with After me. Oh well, only eight and one half games to wait. You sit on a three legged chair and pass the time by watching the Union employees trying to get rid of the six dogs that followed you into the snack bar. At last your turn has come. After you ' ve warmed up you glance at your watch and all of the people hurrying out of the door. Yes, it ' s time for class. And you didn ' t even get a chance to loose to Miran. Oh well, you pick up your briefcase and six companions and head for the Ad Building. pagi: one hundred twelve Biology Trite but true. You ' ve heard it hundreds of times, but everyday and every day you see proof of it. One of the advantages of a small college is closer student faculty re- lationship. More personal attention for each student, and here is a shining example in the Biology department at Wesleyan. If you don ' t know, ask Pro. A glad hand is a helping one. Professor Rossbach takes time out from a busy schedule in order to assist students. And it pays off. dean Wilson and Girls An instrument that every one can play is the radio. Miss Wi ' .son and some of her family seem to have found a program they like in com- mon. It could be Just Plain Tillie ' s Other Wife ' s Nephew ' s Cousin. or maybe it ' s The Lady in Agony. Regardless of the program the important thing is that friendly family atmosphere is shared at Agnes Howard. Of course they have their little rowes. but what familv doesn ' t.

Then, if ever, come perfect days: Then Heaven tries earth if it be in tune, And over it softly her warm ear lays; The Vision of Sir Launfal — James Russel Lowell Xat Nine Shows Season Record of 3 Wins, 6 Losses After getting away to a flying start with two conference victories in the first two games, Wesleyan ' s baseball fortunes fell as they were able to win but one more game all season. The Bobcats bested Alderson-Broad- dus twice and Fairmont once to round out their victory column, while losing nine games. Rainy weather forced cancellation of three additional contests. With regulars Bob Myers, Bob Sullivan, and Ab Takacs returning from last year ' s squad which had won 6 and lost 7. Coach C. B. Ross found it necessary to completely revamp his team around these stalwarts. Sore arms disturbed several of the players, as well as other minor injuries. The Cats could not find their batting eye this season, as the team average stood .23 7 for the first eleven games with three pitchers. Bob Keane, Sullivan, and Matt Kuhn, leading the squad in percentage. Being pitchers, none of them played all the games, however. The season opened with Sullivan twirling a two-hitter and topping A-B to the tunc of 11-4. A second left-hander. Kuhn. won the second encounter 8-1. allowing only 3 hits to the Fairmont Falcons. These two games were an admirable opening for the year, but Saturday. April 22, proved the eventful day with W. Va. Tech supplying the first defeat of a six-game losing streak. Neither Sullivan nor Kuhn could stop the visitors as Tech dropped the locals 9-3. Taking to the road, the Bobcats found their fortunes just as bad as they traveled to Potomac State to take an 11-7 defeat, even though they outhit the victors 1 2 to 7.

A 17-9 loss to the Glcnville Pioneers was next on the schedule, as Coach Ross was forced to call on his ace shortstop, Ab Takacs, to move to the pitcher ' s mound for 6 innings. The Salem Tigers invaded the Bobcat lair and assumed the leadership of the Inter- collegiate Conference with an 8-2 victorv. This placed the Tigers well on their way toward what appeared to be their second straight Conference crown. Next, a trip to Bethany proved no better for Wesleyan as the Bisons downed the Bobcats. 6- 1 . This was the sixth straight defeat for the locals, as the pitching force was overworked and found lacking. Lefty Bob Sullivan again silenced the bats of the Aldcrson-Broaddus Battlers to add his second victory of the year in an 11-9 en- counter in Philippi. This was the third win for the Orange and Black for the season, and proved to be their last. The second game with Fairmont found the Falcons taking the game. 7-4. A second meeting with Bethany was a close one as Sophomore hurler Bob Keane lost a heart-breaker. 6-5. Weather conditions continuously hampered practices, as well as postponing games, so the Bobcats never really were allowed to have good workouts regularly. Senior catcher Butch Gentry pulled a shoulder muscle and was out of play for the last half of the season, while Sullivan developed a sore elbow in mid- season. A combination of injuries and lack of practice made the team look ragged at times, but generally they played heads-up ball. This was the last season for seniors Clint Allman. Butch Gentry. Bob Myers. Jim Pri- mozic. Bob Sullivan and Ab Takacs. leaving Coach Ross with the same problem of re- building his team next year, as lie faced this season. These men played an important role in the 1950 edition of the Bobcats, and will be badly missed in another year. pag? ore h-jtr.dr.d rec nteen Student Union Warrell H.

Mr. Agey was appointed director and Gilbert and Sullivan ' s HMS Pinafore was put into production. This delightful story of the lass who loved a .sailor w, s a favorite with students and townspeople. It played to a well-filled house for two nights. The captain ' s daughter. Josephine, loved Ralph, the common sailor. But because of the reverse social posi- tion, they could not tell each other of their love. The Cap- tain wishes Josephine to marry Sir Joseph Porter. But because of the handsome Ralph. Josephine spurns him and plans to elope with the common sailor. Dick Dead- Eye. a member of the crew, warns the Captain of the elopement and the plan is foiled. Buttercup, the buxom ped ' er woman, tells how when she practiced baby farming, she inadvertently mi. ed the identity of Ralph and the Captain. The reverse in social standing allows the lovers to marry and live happily ever after. Members of the cast included: Sir Joseph Porter. John Townsend: Captain. David Chandler: Josephine. Barbara Harless: Ralph Rackstraw. Graham Kenneweg: Buttercup. Betty Dunaway: Boatswain. Carleton McKita: Deadeye Dick. John Townsend: Hebe. Marian McGrath. A chorus of 50 voices. College orchestra. page one hundred twenty-one Choir Presented Good Li sterling and Entertainment during the Year To the people of West Virginia and her neighboring states, the West Virginia Wes- leyan Choir has meant good Hstening and fine entertainment. Directed by Charles W. For- lines. the choir presents each Tuesday special music for the chapel program. In addition the choir proffered a Christmas cantata and a spring concert. The choir also sang for the January and May Commencement programs. Each year a choir of thirty or more selected voices travels several hundred miles and pre- sents over fifteen concerts to the churches and high schools of West Virginia. Pennsylvania and Maryland. This year they were invited to contribute along with four other college choirs to the Pittsburgh Conference presenta- tion of Bold Adventure given at the Syria Mosque on April 28. 1950. and on May 7, they assisted in a drama at the First Methodist Church in Clarksburg. W. Va. The Tour Choir was also featured in two radio broad- casts originating from WWVA in Wheeling and KDKA in Pittsburgh. ome Economics Majors Complete Commendable Year Betty Lamp Club, the organization formed exclusively for home economics ma- jors and minors, wrote another commendable chapter in its history this year. With the spir- itual background of the hard working pioneer women in mind the club displayed collective spirit in volunteering their assistance in pre- paring the sandwiches for the C.S.F. Silver Tea. Mrs. Sandmayer, a representative of Evaporated Milk, was engaged by the club to demonstrate the many divers and sundry uses of evaporated milk in cooking. The future homemakers strolled out of the kitchen dem- onstration, wiped the grease from their hands, and attended a fashion show sponsored by Handmacher. exclusive tailors of women ' s suits. After viewing the latest fashions, the girls attended Firestone ' s practical display of home utilities This year ' s officers included Betty Burris. president; Pat Phelps, secretary: and Bonnie Brown Martin, treasurer.

Only those majors and minors in physical education who maintain a high scholastic average are eligible for membership. As one of its many projects the Psi Kaps completed their fourth year of sponsoring programs used during the intercollegiate basket ball tournament. They also checked coats during the regular basket ball season and tournament games. Each year the chapter attempts to carry out some pro- ject which will benefit the college and students. In past years they installed a flag pole on the football field and the rcdecoration of the women ' s physical education office. This year they installed a clock in the college gymnasium and sponsored the loving cup presented annually to the best choral group at the May-Day inter-fraternity sing. The organization meets once a year, and this year had the meeting open to the public. It was their Founder ' s Day Program in Brown Chapel with C. H. Uncle Charlie Hartley as guest speaker. On April 30. nine new members were initiated into the chapter. Miss Charlotte Knepshicld is the sponsor of the chapter. She and two members of the chapter attended the national biennial convention of Delta Psi Kappa at Southern Methodist University. Dallas, Texas. Miss Knep- shield was elected National Province Director of the United States: she formerly had the position of Province Director of the Southern District of the United States. Members of the organization attempt to develop a Sound mind and a Sound body. Explorers Enjoy Overnight Hikes Wesleyan ' s unique outdoorsmen ' s organization. Ex- plorer Post 129. completed is second year as a chartered unit of the National Boy Scouts of America organization on March 1, and received its new charter for the ensuing year. Under the leadership of Post Guide Charles Wilson the Explorers have enjoyed a year of activity with cook- outs, hikes and overnight camps as the principal features of the program. Chief events of the year were the winter camp at the Council Camp grounds, the annual explorattion trip into the depths of the little known Pocahontas County cavern and the overnight hike and camp in the snow on the upper reaches of the Buckhannon River. A prized possession of the Post is its LOG BOOK, a sturdy album made by the Scouts themselves, containing a pictorial account of every major expedition of the Post from the first trip to the latest, with snapshots of many crew hikes and cook-outs in addition. Each year the Post looks forward to entering new and thrilling episodes into this illustrated history of its activity. Professor Frank Berisford as Post Advisor. Professor John D. Shaver as Institutional Representative, and Dr. Scarborough, Dr. Hupp and Professor Reemsnyder as Post Committee are the faculty men who sponsor the organi- zation. pag one hundred iu:eniy-fice Phoenix Club Erects Scoreboard In football Stadium The Phoenix Club was founded on the W.V.W.C. campus early in 1947. by a group of young men who possessed neither the funds nor inclination for fraternity life, but who felt nevertheless, the need for getting together and doing things in the spirit of fellowship. Like any embronic organization the Phoenix have been plagued by their share of growing pains but have managed to take part in all campus group activities. It was the Phoenix Club who raised the funds for and built the score board in the foot- ball stadium. This year the Club ' s activities have included participation in the home- coming parade and the Antics, two social gatherings for members only, a dance at the Lion ' s Den for all students, and a banquet for the members and their dates. All of these have had, we feel, a part in realizing the purposes for which the club was formed. Front row, left to right: George Emil Swit er. Clarence Dawk ins, Brady Foriney.
