No, I ' m not really smart, [usi an average student. But I did learn the meaning of living at VVesleyan; the importance of good citizenship: humility: responsibility: and respect for personality. And I ' ve a couple of real friends on the faculty who will always be interested in the good and bad things that I do. I was impressed by his sincerity. You know, I ' d like to go to Buckhannon . . .

Through the foliage 1 could see several old brick buildings. This was West Virginia Weslevan. I decideil to jxisipone judg- ment. Small. Pretty. Kind ol personal-looking, too . . .

Think of him faring an. as dear In ihe love of There as Ike love oj Here; .4nd loyal still, as he gave the bloirs Of his wariior strength to his country ' s joes — Mild and gentle as he iras brave. When the sweetest love of his life he gave To sinijjiest things; wliere the violets grew Pure as the eyes they icere likened to. The touches of his hand have strayed As rex ' erently as his lips have prayed; When the little lirown thrush that hinslih rlinied ]Vas dear to him as the mocking bird; And he pitied as much as a man in pain .1 writhing honey-bee xeel u ' ith rain. Think of him still as the same. I say; He is not dead — he is just — iiu ' iiy! [ami s Win uoMii Rii i: ' , ' lla greater tribute can be paid any man than: He was my friend, faithful and just to me? E eryone on Wesleyan ' s campus fell that way about Cebe Ross. He was sympathetic and understanding to all in any occasion. He was always a gentleman. He served his college faithfully and well. When a man does somelhing spectacular, wlien he Ijeals his way into a burning building to save someone or dives intcj an ice-filled river or picks up a bomb in his hands, the world calls tiiat heroic. .Vnd it is. But that is one act and soon over. Men who go on day after day, year after year, through dullness and tedium and strain of every kind — who go on being living examples in every act, great and small, of their faith and integrity, who hoUf fast without any reward, even pride in them- selves, and again all natmal doubts — these men are truly heroic. . nd in this sense Cebe Ross was a hero. He was a student at Vesleyan. retmncd to coacii her looiball teams and later be her alumni secretary. . number of his grid prodigies, headed by the great Cliff Battles, zoomed to professional football league stardom. He also coached such .■ ll-. inericans as Len (Feets) Barnum. As he sent his players into the line his acU ice was. Co in. Do yom- best. When Vesleyan dropped lootball alter the 1950 season he was heard to say: It is lonesome around Wesleyan without a football team. He had hoped for the day when the college could again field an eleven. No one on campus commanded more respect nor made more friends than Cebe Ross. His death on . pril 2, 1053. was mourned by all who knew him. CECIL B. ROSS Director of Alhlt-lirs and Coadi ( 1925-UM2, 1916-195.!)

There ' s no place like home the saying goes, . gnes Howard Hall presented the closest resemblance: no small reason for having the Christ- mas festivities there. The big drawing rf)om seemed cheer- ful and homey, and the tree- lighting ceremony was a mem- orable occasion. ll took a long time to dis- (o er Wesleyan as it is. . gnes Howard Hall holds a warm spot in my memory.

Bee Jay Crabh is president: Barb West, x ice president: and Helen Chidester, secretary-treasurer. Other members arc Barbara Barron, Dottie . Ioser, and Lucy Peyton. The Coinicils main pinposc is to allow the three sororities to work together as one group instead of three. They determine the type of rushing Ijest-suited to the sororities, and de- termine rushing rules. .Any violations of these rides are disiusscd before the Coundl.

The purposes of tlu- West X ' ir iuia eslc an College Panhellcnic Council are: To maintain on a high plane fraternity life and interfra- ternity relations within the college. lo fintlicr line iniellcctual accomplishnienis :ukI sound scholarship. To cooperate with ihc lollegc administration in the nKiiMtcn:uue of high social standards. To be a lorinu lor the dis- cussion of cjuestions of interest to the college and fraterniiv world. To compile rules gov- erning rushing, pledging, and initiation on the campus. The Panhcllenic Creed, as followed by the sorority women of Wesleyan, is as follows: We, the fraternitv undcrgiaduale members, stand lor good scholarship, for giiaiding ol good health, for whole-hearted cooperation with our college ' s ideals for stmlent lile, lor the maintenance of line social standards, and for the serving, to the best of our ability, of our college community. Good college citizenship as a |)reparation for good citizenship in the laiger world of alumnae days is the ideal that shall guide oiu ' chapter activities. 20 Alpha Delta Pi Officers ne((v Bond, Marcia Parker.

She told me that I.iicy Pe ion was president of the grotip and suggested that 1 go to her to learn more abotit them. I saw Lucy the next day, so I asked her about the sorority. She invited me to come to the next meeting, so that night I again lonnd myself sturounded by a roomtid ol girls. Not that I minded, for they were a most attractive group.

My head was a niountain ol questions and curiosity. For weeks ahead e designed lloats, vrote plays, talked barbeque, paratle and dance. Visitors started to arrive Friday. Every- where I glimpsed new faces of aliunna and friends. Xo two people had the same schedule. There were meetings, suppers, and, of course, for me classes. The main high- lights were common to us all, though. That was pretty obvious. I went to Wes- leyantics a hall hour early and still had to sit in the back row. I watched and listened, then decided to venture a win- ning-guess. I whispered it to the boy be- siiie me. Ouih! Someone ' s loyal sup- porter. The . lpha Gams and Theta Chis won. 1 wasn ' t so far wrong. The .Mpha Xi and . lpha Delta I ' i girls had the winning floats in the parade. There was some keen competition.

Sometimes my attention was distracted, but there was always the spirit willing to do wluit the Iksh seemed too weak to accomplish. It was alwavs a romantic rendezvous.

Likewise in Spring a yoinig Weslevanite ' s fancv lightly turns to thoughts of Ma da . Somehow the Ma (lav alfair vvas more than just another social event on the calendar. I kept thinking of the seniors who woidd grad- uate. It would be the last big finictioii for most, [hough I suppose a great deal of the sen- timent was lost b the girls as thev practised tumbling and dancing lor the coronation pro- gram. That whole weekend was wonderful. The old stadium hunnned with excitement during the barbecjiie. I nearly broke a leg running to get in line for food. It was worth it, thougli. I ' hat is until I broke an egg down my pants leg diuing the egg-throwing contest and con- dennied nnsell lor not taking time out to change clothes after class. The memory of a face smeared with lemon meringue from the pie-eating contest made me laugh each time 1 looked at one of the prettv attendants that night. The gym was transformed into a wonder- land for the coronation and dance. The music was sweet and smooth. I seemed to be danc ing on soft cushions . . . Get off my foot, you lug. Well, anyway the music was line. . nd speaking of music, the Mayday sing was no small part of the weekend. T he bright colored clothes, fine talent and good natured com- petition combined to form another evening of colorful and interesting entertainment. I look back on the whole event as one of the biggest ol the vear. Lcfl to light: Bf eil Hainiirk. Winnie Poil. Ql ' EEN C olleen lUiikf. F.Ifinuil B;mks. and Ehiinc C.iilpcppcl .

The campus behind the stadium was the center of activity. Practically all the organ- i ations were represented. Kids were as busy laughing and kidding each other as thev were woiking to set up their portion of Dog Patch village. . fter hinch all the desperate Sals and llieir reluctant prospects (no sense in seeming o er- aiixious when we could make the girls work) met for contests and relays, . fter Bill Wilt and [oe Patterson continued to sit on those ice cakes lor fi e miinites I began to wonder where the concealed heating unit was; and why I ever joined the line ol tobacco spittcrs I ' ll never know.
