Playshop Offers Opportunities For Dramatic Work West Virginia Wesleyan ' s Playshop is an or- ganization giving students an opportunity to display their talent in play production. Actual acting behind the footlights, designing scenery, make-up. prompting, staging, business manag- ing, or as business managers, offers experiences for drama students. The work of this large organization consists of at least two three-act plays, several groups of three one-act plays, and various other dramatic Servant In the House productions. Unless one is a member ol Play- shop he misses the hustle and bustle behind the scenes, the horror of forgetting a line, the thrill of applause from an audience. The Playshop is directed by John D. Shaver, professor of speech. The officers that led this year ' s Playshop through a successful season in- clude: Pat Dawson, president; Barbara West, vice-president; and Juanita Corrigall, secretary- treasurer.

These girls are members of the Betty Lamp Club. They invited special guests to their meet- ings. A cosmetic demonstrator illustrated the proper use of make-tip. The club had a Christmas party for Eiko Yamashita, a student from Japan. Each girl gave Eiko a gilt at the party in the home economics cottage. The girls helped serve the fall and mid winter home-coming barbe- cues. The home economics cottage on Barbour Street is the prized possession of the home economics girls. Three or four home econ- omics majors stay in the cottage for six weeks. The Betty Lamp Club is under the cap- able direction of Miss Cladys Cronemeyer, professor of home economics. This year ' s officers are: K. Clark, president; B. J. Crabb, vice-president; N. Cochran, secre- tary; M. Zickafoose, treasurer; and M. Barb, program chairman.

Science Marches On With Benzene Ring In Step Science marches on! And the Benzene Ring is right in step. The homecoming crowd was surprised to see, before their very eyes, the trans- formation of a shy freshman into an enthusiastic Wesleyan graduate by the application of a few simple chemical principles. The yield from this experiment was the trophy for second prize in Wesleyan tics. The Benzene Ring, the oldest organization on campus, was organized in 1920. Originally for anyone interested in science, the Benzene Ring is now composed of chemistry majors and minors having an average of C or above in chemistry. In 1949 the group became a chapter of Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society. A number of years ago. a science library was established by the Ring for the use of science students. The Crowning of the Camphor King has be- come a tradition of the Benzene Ring. Each year the student of Organic Chemistry who prepares the purest and the largest sample of camphor from turpentine, by the classical method, is honored by the Ring. This ceremony is now an important part of the Annual Strawberry Break- fast of the Benzene Ring, a combination fare- well to graduating members and welcome to alumni of the Ring who are here for graduation. Following the annual initiation of 1951-1952, a hamburg fry replaced the usual refreshments served in chemical apparatus. The Ring meets bi-monthly to hear lectures by prominent chemists or to enjoy student demonstrations. The group is directed by its founder. Dr. Nicholas Hyma. Richard Beckman and Pierre Marteney were elected to represent Wesleyan at the Eastern Col- lege Science Conference. April, in Pittsburgh. It acted as host for the Academy of Science at Wes- leyan this year. The officers were: Marjorie Young, presi- dent; Howard Naeser, vice president; Pierre Marteney, secretary; James Beggs, treasurer: and Michael Karickhoff. serceant-at-arms. 64 Future Teachers Broaden Educational Interests Recognizing thai the need Foi well-qualified teachers is great, the potential teachers ol Wes leyan strive t be well pi epai ed for the positions which i lu will command. Banding together in the national asscx iation ol the Future Teachers ol America, students n to be the lusi teachers i hi know how to be. I Ins year ' s activities were inaugurated with a upon .iikI discussion ol Morris P. Shawkey, .m educator for whom Wesleyan ' s chaptei was named. In .1 later meeting, Dean V V School- craft explained certificate requirements for teachers and open fields ol teaching. Students discussed questions concerning education. Members ol the F. I .A. were honored to have Miss Corma Mowre) ol Charleston, Wist Yn ginia, formei president ol the National Educa- tion Association, speak ai .1 dinnei meeting in February. Miss Mowre) chose as her topic The Rights and Responsibilities ol reachers. I lie- annual spring banquet, in the college dining hall, was the (Umax ol the yearl) pro gram. 1 In- Future reachers chose .1 speakei from the State or National Education Vssocia t ion. One ol the outstanding constructive projects of the group this yeai was the writing and adopt- ing ol a constitution. I lus constitution changed the duties ol the officers, the election proced- ures, and numerous othei functions ol the organization. When founded in 1941, the Morris P. Shav ki Chaptei was granted the liltli chartCT in the siaic ol Wesi Virginia. The chaptei is 1 omposed ol thirty-six students interested in furthering education and dedicated to building a democra in 1 i ilization.

At the meeting each week, the girls answer the roll call with a quote which is chosen and posted in the library. One girl leads the program in giving a book review, telling a story, 01 readfng some selected poems; these readings are usually accom- panied by a biographical sketch of the author. Guest speakers sprinkle the pro- grams and the year is climaxed witli a ban- quet in the spring.

The Christian Service Fellowship is growing every year — in number and insight to new and better ways ol Christian living. The organization was improved In writing and adopting a new constitution. Under the new constitution C.S.F. is expected to glow even more in years to come, for it provides for programs of greater interest and reaches more people. The program of the C.S.F. consists of weekly Tues- day afternoon meetings for the purpose of spiritual enrichment, and a monthly social and business meet- ing in the Student Union. The weekly meetings in- titule meditations, outstanding speakers, book reviews, and discussions. At the social meetings members enjoy games, singing, lun, and refreshments. Any person who will take seriously the following commitment may become a member of C.S.F.: I agree to remain holy in all manner of conversation and thought. I will, inasmuch as it is possihle. lead a pure life and strive b a living example to reveal Christ to the lives of others. I resolve to devote myself wholly to God and His work. I will strive to be cooperative, understanding, temperate. just, merciful, humble, and at all times concerned for the welfare of others. I agree to sel aside .1 portion of each da for private de- votions. A major project, traditional with the C.S.F., is the annual Christmas party for needy school children in the surrounding area. The objective is to provide the children with the fun and thrills connected with the Christmas spirit which they might not otherwise have the opportunity of experiencing. The big moment is the entry of Santa Claus with a bundle of toys to be distributed among the children, ft is through the co- operation of the local churches and other persons in the community that this service is made possible. An- other project is that of providing worship services for the men at the Prison Labor Camp each Sunday after- noon. Thus, C.S.F. is an organization of Christian service and Christian fellowship. The officers are: Chuck Ellwood, president: Bill Brown, vice-president: Esther Ferrell, secretary; Wes- ley Bone, treasurer; Dick Guice, chairman of publicity and membership: Joyce Pustinger, music chairman; and the Reverend Mr. Don Flynn, adviser. t?9 Panhellenic Encourages Inter fraternal Relations I In pill pose I ill ' P.ilihc Hi me ( .mini il is to promote li iendl) unci [rati i nal r la tions among the three sororities, Alpha Delta Pi, Vlpha i Delta, and Vlpha Gam in. i Delta.

This award, a sterling silver tray, was presented to the chapter by Ruth Andrew, scholarship aih isor, at the fall rushing party. Alpha Gamma Delta, social fraternity, was founded May 30, 1904, Syracuse University. New York. It grew rapidly, for there are now over sixty chapters. May 20, 1948, marks the date when Sigma Pi Delta, local sorority on Wes- leyan ' s campus, became affiliated with Alpha Gamma Delta. The officers for the year 1951-1952 were Betty Post, president: Marg Young, first vice- president: Eleanor Banks, second vice-president: Margaret Ellen Barb, recording secretary: Dor- ine Hauptli, corresponding secretary: Eleanor Banks, treasurer: and Helen Stockert. faculty advisor. An October hayride began the year ' s social activities. There were no ill effects from the ride, but evidently one of the horses that pulled the wagon couldn ' t take it. for he died of a stroke two days later. The formal rush party at the Country Club had as its theme, An Evening in Paris. ' ' Alpha Omicron pledged nine girls, Patricia Scott, Ros- alie Shepherd. Barbara Dawson.

Reed. Bottom: D. Earnest, II. Childress, V. Ryckman, 1.. Wright. The week of most activity and intensity of spirit for Alpha Delta Pi is known as Friendship Week. During this period the pledges are given their final grooming for membership in the oldest sorority in the United States. The begin- ning is a ceremony at which each pledge is given a blue and white ribbon to wear during the week. Both pledges and actives review the ideals of integrity, scholarship, and social grace, upon which Alpha Delta Pi was founded and has spread her bond of sisterhood. Friendship Week is so called because it is the time when special emphasis is placed on the ideals of kindness and courtesy which are ob- served throughout the year. Each day the pledge is given some special deed to perform by her big sister to point up these ideals. No act of indig- nity to any person is countenanced by Alpha Delta Pi. During the week actives and pledges attend campus activities as a group. The main social event of the week is the dance given in honor of the pledges. The week is climaxed by the impressive initiation ceremony followed by a banquet. At the banquet two pledges are hon- ored, one for her scholastic standing and the other for having written the best essay on What Alpha Delta Pi Means to Me. The ADPi ' s came back to Wesleyan in Sep- tember anxious to hear Winifred Post and Sarah Meek tell about the Centennial Convention at Macon. Enough was found on their post cards to tantalize their sisters. The souvenirs of the hundredth anniversary, as well as the girls ' re- ports lived up to expectations.

Alpha Xi ' s Win Firsl Prize With Skit In Wesleyantics Alpha Xi ' s climaxed the school year of 1951 by winning first place in the May Day Sing. The girls wore navy blue clotted Swiss dresses with white accessories. At the throat of each Beta Sigma girl was a single pink rose, the flower of the Alpha Xi Delta. A picturesque Rush Party began the activities of the current school year. The girls witnessed the mock wedding of Alpha Xi Delta and The Rushee and. afterwards, attended the wedding banquet. Following an enjoyable even- ing of dancing, ten girls pledged Alpha Xi Delta. Highlighting the annual Fall Homecoming was Wesleyantics. Each organization presented a skit for the program the first evening. The cup for first place was awarded to the Alpha Xi Delta sorority for their skit, Love Letters. The stage was divided into three parts. On the kit, one of the girls sang Love Letters as she gazed upon the picture of a boy in the armed forces. Members of the Alpha Xi Delta sextette joined in the chorus. As the spot-light moved to the right of the stage, a ballet dancer in flaming red broke the seal of the letter and climbed from it. Climaxing the ballet, the spirit fell into a deep slumber. Vttendents to the homecoming queen were: senior. Colleen Burke; junior, foretta Proud foot; and sophomore, Elaine Culpepper.

( i ■  l I ingci Alpha Sigs Improve House, Publish News Letter Although Beta Nu of Alpha Sigma Phi began this year with the handicap ol a reduced mem- bership, they have been fortunate in initiating ten new members. They were: Robert Bitten, William Cox. Austin Cox. Frank Floyd, Will- iam Holbert. Parker Hood. James Lenhart. David Ours, William Stackman, and Charles West. The ceremony was preceded by a candle- light dinner. At homecoming Alpha Sigma Phi received the lirst prize for house decorations. After the theme of the annual celebration Raise the Roof seven cardboard lifesize caricatures of faculty members playing musical instruments forming an orchestra was constructed. The house was decorated with red and grey stream- ers, to give a night club setting. Beta Nu has been socially active this year. They had several stag parties, a card party in November, and a Christmas party for the bro- thers and their dates by the Housemother, Mrs. Herold. The crowning social event, however, was the annual spring formal dance at the Wal- do Hotel in Clarksburg on April 18. As usual, this highlight in the social calendar attracted the attention ol almuni brothers. Several faculty guests were entertained at dinner, including a going-away banquet for Mr. Berisford. Athletically, Beta Nu has not been outstand- ing this year. They participated with keen in- terest in intramural football, basketball, and softball. They are especially proud of the new addi- tion to the house which was constructed by members. An extension to the kitchen was built above which was constructed a chapter meeting room. Maroon curtains, new slip covers for the furniture and a beautiful trophy case are among the significant additions to the living room. The officers of Beta Nu for the past year have been: William Fuller, president: Robert Men- zel. vice-president: Charles Billings, treasurer: Ralph Ritter and James Lenhart, secretaries: Richard Dunn, corresponding secretary; Leon Lantz, sergeant-at-arms: Fred Rusmisell, associ- ate-editor; and David Ours, marshall.

Virginia, in December. 1865. soon after General Robert E. Lee became presi- dent of that institution. Robert E. Lee is the spiritual founder of this Order. To date, the Order directs eighty-four active chapters throughout the country with well over forty thousand members. The membership in these chapters ranges from ten to fifty men. de- pending largely upon the size of the student body of the institution in which they are located. Beta Chi Chapter of the Kappa Alpha Order was the first national fraternity on Wesleyan ' s Campus. BX was established as a chapter in 1929. This has been a successful year at Beta Chi in spite of the fact that several members received 78 Greetings you ' ve had ii notices from Uncle Sam. After the Eirsi rush pai i sixteen l were pledged. I he fraternity hous u i eived an internal face lifting job before classes started in Sep- tember.

Delta Gamma chapter of Theta Chi added nine new pledges to the roster after their fall rush party. The pledges were: Howard Allwine, Robert Bargeloh, Dale BeVier, Ted Come, James Keith, Don O ' Dell, Pat Spiegel, Alton Taylor, and Stanton Walker. Following the second semester rush party Jack Bennett, Dana George, James Herr, Rich- ard Maris. Jean Nelson, Gene Roach, Don Smith and Scott Tharp pledged Theta Chi. A number of unique and fun filled parties were enjoyed by the lads of 101 Barbour Street throughout the year. Outstanding was the Old Roman party. The first floor of the fraternity house was converted into a replica of old Rome and the members and their dates dressed them- selves in flashy togas. Roman games and dancing provided entertainment. The social event of the year was the Spring Formal which was enjoyed by everyone. The intramural scene found Theta Chi par- ticipating in every sport. They went undefeated for the second straight season in football to cap- ture the intramural football trophy which is awarded to the team that is champ for two out of three seasons or two years in succession. Something new that was added to the list of accomplishments for this group was the Theta Chi Chatter, a news letter sent out to the alumni of Delta Gamma each month. Its pur- pose is to keep alums informed of happenings of the chapter and what ' s going on about campus. Theta Chi ' s are represented in campus offices and on the varsity basketball, baseball and ten- nis teams. Some of the members took week-end trips to other chapters during the months. One of the highlights of these trips was a basketball game with Alpha Kappa chapter at West Virginia University which the locals easily won. W. Bone and C. Rcmaik- A. Cover.

Musical Expression Is Found In Choir and Orcheslra Wesleyan musicians express their talent through the choir, the band, and the orchestra. The West Virginia Wesleyan Choir, consist- ing of forty-seven members, was selected through audition by the new music professor and direc- tor. Robert E. Shafer. The choir participated in many programs at Wesleyan including the Chapel service every Tuesdav morning. It also furnished the music for Religious Emphasis Week, Commencement and other special occasions throughout the year. Thirty-seven members were selected from the regular choir to tour West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. The Tour Choir made two three-day tours and several one-day tours dur- ing the school year. The Wesleyan College Orchestra is a regular- ly scheduled curricular offering of the depart- M.

Although Wesleyan did not participate in intercollegiate football last fall, the sport prevailed for those who ventured to the ath- letic field each evening to watch or play intramurals. Ably refereed by Dave Reem- snyder ' s officiating class, touch football pro- ided thrills lor the observers as well as the participant. Six teams were entered in the league, each capable of playing good football. Theta Chi, with Captain Don Taylor call- ing the plays, had their usual good players, at times employing the two platoon system. The Rumrunners were back with their dan- gerous attack under the direction of Rip Haley and Joe Perez. The Pioneers entered a fast running team with Matt Kuhn at the helm. Rounding out the card were the Alpha Sigs. speeded on by frosh Bill Cox; Fertile Valley, led by Gene Patterson, and the Kappa Alpha spurred by Howard Right. As the season got under way, it became apparent that the teams to beat were Theta Chi, Rumrunners, and Pioneers. The championship was not decided until tin final game between Theta Chi and the Pioneers, which Theta Chi won to complete their second year undefeated, and to take the prized tropin.

Late Winning Streak Gires High Hopes For Next Year Slated to be one oi the toughest teams in the con- ference in preseason dope. Hank Ellis ' Bobcats played hot and cold basketball until near the end of the season, when in a game winning streak and a rash of points, the) proved themselves to be capable of beat- ing some of the best teams in the conference. Wesleyan played twenty-one conference games plus non-conference tilts with W. Va. University, Marshall College, and two games with Marietta College. In the opening name, the Bobcats traveled to W. Va. University. The Mountaineers, remembering last year ' s close call with Wesleyan, were better prepared to meet the Bobcats, and .is a result the game ended with Wes- leyan on the short end of a 72-4 1 score. The Bobcats next journeyed to 1 ' hillipi for their first conference game with Alderson-Broaddus. Alter a close game with the Battlers, Wesleyan returned home victorious by a 61-55 count. The next two games found the Ellismen at home, defeating Marietta and losing a close one, 59-63 to W. Va. lech, who was again destined to be- come the top team in the conference. As the season progressed, Wesleyan compiled a rec- ord of seven wins against ten losses. At this point, the Bobcats defeated Fairmont 71-55, in what was the turn- ing point of the season, and went on to win six of their last seven games. I his series included decisive wins over such top teams as Morris Harvey, 77-63 and Davis Elkins 72-66. During this time Wesleyan in what was the highlight of regular season play, defeated Shepherd 111-71 to establish a new scoring record for the school. In their final game against Beckley, the century mark was almost reached again as Wesleyan won 95-55. The all over record was 14 wins against I 1 losses. Against conference foes the record was 13-8, good lor tilth place in the final conference standings. In determining an outstanding plaver one would have difficult) because of the abundance of good men. The squad included outstanding freshmen such as Michael O ' Toole, Edward Hood, John Pitcher, Jack Hawkins and 6 ' 9 Robert Chatfield, besides able vet- erans such as Loren Brake, Ted Come, Herbert Lef- 1,0(1. Tom Carroll, George Danovich, Charles Elkins. Herb Leffard led the scoring with 238 points for a 10.8 per game average. Close behind were |ack Haw- kins and Tom Carroll with 207 and 200 points re- spectivclv. Wesleyan ' s prospects for the coming year look very bright as only one player will be lost through grad- uation from the group mentioned. With the return of such a brigade of basketeers. Wesleyan should con- sistently show the superiority which was so prevalent at times during the past season. As the season ended, the Bobcats, a team definitely improved due to better teamwork and higher spirits, went into the W.V.I. C. tournament with confidence. BASKE1 ! ' .

W. Va. Tech was the Bobcats ' second victim, being defeated by a 94-74 count. Although setting a new scoring record in the semi-final game, the Ellismen could not seem to muster up enough points to overcome a seven point deficit as Morris Harvey won, 85-78. Honors went to Tom Carroll and Herb Lef- fard, who were selected for the all-tournament team. Carroll is a repeater from last year. Elaine Culpepper also received honors in being selected as one of the three outstanding cheer- leaders of the tournament. West Virginia Intercollegiate Basketball Tournament W. Va. Tech 69 W. Va.
