V. Porchey, Morrow, Books, Holman, Tolliver 1930 Foollrall Season-conlinuetl heavier and more experienced opponents. At the start of the game the Westminster team playing straight football swept down the field pushing the big Rolla team back into the shad- ows of their own goal posts. When a touch- down seemed sure, the Rolla line tightened and repelled every Blue Jay thrust, taking the ball on downs one foot from their goal line. The VIRGIL PORCHEY, Guard, Crystal City, Mo. Like his brother, Virgil has sought and achieved honor on the football field. With two years left his development should be fast and great. J. B. Moimow, Tackle, Jefferson City, Mo. Morrow, a freshman, demonstrated his capa- bility to fill a position by his good defensive work. Although not playing regular he was a consistent blocker and frustrated many of the op- . ponents' plays. J. B. has only one more year at Westminster. HARRY HOLMAN, End, Fulton, Mo. For two years Nellie has been a dependable wing man and with the experience acquired should develop into a more than dependable player. twenty-two Blue Jays were on the offense the entire first half always threatening to score, but the Miners stopped every attack when a slip would have meant a score. At the start of the second half the famed Rolla backfield stepped into action and on perfectly executed plays scored a touchdown. The try for extra point was block- Continueol on page 26 LURIN Books, Tackle, Fulton, Mo. Whenever a man in uniform jumped from the bench and ran up and down the side lines with knees high, the opposition could look for plenty of trouble, as Books was about to go on the field. For two more years the opposing teams are sure of facing Wildman. KEITH TOLLIVER, Quarterback, Springfield, Mo. When he first ran on the field they laughed, but at the end of live minutes they were spell- bound. Why? Well, they had just seen a small, blond-headed freshman run, twist, and pivot his way through the opposing team for long gains and scores. Not even the mightiest men in the conference could keep him from going places with the ball. Billy, who was outstanding in every contest, has reduced Coach Stuber's worries for a quarterback to zero for the next three years.

Time was when dwellers in the environs of Wil- liam Woods and Synodical w e r e periodically an- noyed by avowed serenaders f r o m Westminster. These good peo- ple thought harsh- ly of the youths, and denounced paths, the voice of every man was turned against his brother, no longer was there an even tenor of our ways, they were all bad. Finally, some dip- lomat advanced a solution-the Glee Club. Immediately the chapel was converted into a DUPUY F. CAYCE Farmington, Mo.

Little did they realize that within the innocent breasts of those boys were harbored powerful artistic urges, and that the nocturnal cacophonies were only attempts to give expression to the rhapso- dies of young souls. Bitter feud sprang up be- tween the townsfolk and the aspiring masculine prima donnas fthe Greeks had a word for itj. Happily for the order of Fulton, dissensions arose in the ranks of the serenaders themselves -everyone wanted to sing first tenor. For some time thereafter pandemonium reigned on the Blue campus, arias formerly reserved for the bathroom were jangled about on the public larynx gymnasium and chaos ceased. Since that memorable date the Glee Club has grown into a Westminster institution: sometimes good, often indifferent, again frankly rotten, but al- ways plenty of sound. This year we have been fortunately blessed with an excellent choral organization. Under the capable direction of Russell Dean Becker, the Club organized early in the first semester and rehearsed faithfully until late in the spring. Gupton Vogt served as president, and DuPuy Cayce managed the business arrangements. About fifty men responded to the first call for Continued on page 28 twenty-four
