In presenting this the Second Volume of the Mirabilia to the student-body and general public, the Editors lay no claim to a perfect work, either in literary excellence or artistic execution. As is known, much of the work was done when the mind was divided by the double duties incident to any student’s life. YVe are desirous of expressing our thanks and appreciation to all kind friends who have aided us by suggestion or otherwise. Especially are we indebted to Prof. Myers for his timely suggestions and for his artistic work on the different class designs. In all of our work we have been actuated by the desire of putting forth a volume that would do credit not only to our class, but to Marshall College and its honored Alumni as well. Our highest hope, however, has been that in the future when weary years of striving have separated us from these pleasant associations, Mirabilia may bring back sweet remembrances of school life and may cause us to call up the delightful memories of the past. if if if if if if if if if Dedicated to the honored Alumni of Marshall College.

This is that the class of 1908 is coming to an end on the fifth day of June. Not an end in all things but just so far as studying at Marshall is concerned. We have done a few things since we came into existence. Some people know these things, and want to know them; some would like to know them without taxing their memories; some know hut would rather forget. Therefore, equally as much for the sake of one as for the others, we will record some of the events. In the winter term, I9(M� . Miss liurgess and Mr. Williamson, our class officers, suggested that the class he organized. Their suggestion was soon carried out and we became a recognized part of Marshall College. We were a deliberate body at first, in fact, so deliberate that it took most of the remaining year to select our colors. At the first meeting for that purpose, we chose gold and white; at each succeed ing meeting for reconsidering our choice, we discarded those colors and chose again gold and white. We scarcely realized the beauty of our colors until we saw them flying on the baseball ground in the Spring of Ihe same year, when the four classes were contesting for the “Davis Cup.” Zip, Zap, Zup, We won the cup! 41 In our junior year we had the honor of introducing some new features into Marshall College. The first was the Annual. After some discouragement and much hard work, we published the first Mirabilia. We were also the first to have a Junior classday. We were not too old to play that year either. We played base-ball again. Zip, Zap, Zap. We kept the cup! Last year, members of our class had a share in winning honors for both Literary Societies in the Inter-Society Contest. Out of the twelve contestants, five were Juniors. Three of these came out victorious, one tied, and tin; other lost only because she was contesting against another Junior. In order to entertain the Seniors in a different way from the customary reception in the parlor, we planned a trip on the river. After many fruitless attempts, we secured a boat for the appointed evening. Arrangements were all made but, “What is not to be is not to be” and the evening before the time agreed upon the boat burned. We were hopeful as well as resourceful; and before seven-thirty of the next evening, the campus was turned into a fairy like garden, filled with gypsy tents and fancy booths, and lighted with Japanese lanterns. Instead of a trip down the Ohio, we had a lawn fete. When our class officers entertained us so loyally last year, we hoped to be permanently guided by them; but instead, they not only gave us up altogether, but Mr. Williamson, with his wife went to Colorado, and Miss Burgess went to Chicago. We could not account for such treatment but with our usual foresight we sot about to choose new class officers. We could have none but the best the faculty could afford, so we chose Mrs. Kverelt and Mr. Fitzgerald with great en thusiasm. 12 We informed them of tlie election with a little doubtfulness, but felt compensated for our daring when they accepted the offices with almost as much enthusiasm as our own. Miss Burgess came back to town not long ago, so now besides our two class officers, we have a god-mother. In Athletics we not only claim a part in base-ball, but have been very successful in foot ball and basket-ball with Seniors at the head of each department and not a few in the ranks. We are also successfully represented in Dramatic Art and Music. Each year our student officers have been elected with great care, and each year we have been successfully piloted through. But this year, “wonder of wonderful things,” just to show that things formerly impossible are becoming possible, the class has agreed upon a uniform pin. It is with deep regret we see our class much smaller in the Senior than in the Junior year, but when we listen to the threatening, “I’ll fail a Senior just as quickly as a Fresh man.” we feel that those who do finish with this class will have done all the work required of them. We cannot see clearly into the future, but only wish to be judged by the record of the past. SCATTERED AMONG THE CANNAE BEDS. OFFICERS: � President ....

Samuel hails from Wayne, and although not as stubborn a fighter as “Mad Anthony,” he always masters his work. 11 is presence is felt in the class room where he often brightens a dull period by bis gentle smile and interesting humor. Me lias a kind and estimable disposition and has a host of well-wishing friends. Aside from bis hobbies, History and Literature, bis fame as a follower of Ximrod will probably rival that of Daniel Boone. H ENRI ETTA ('ALLA WAV, Marshes, W. Ya. Henrietta bails from Raleigh ('entity, but is probably as well known in the dormitory of Marshall, where she has tlie habit of making fudge, popping corn, and smiling too loudly for the rules of “lights out. She says, however, that the ball room must be taken into consideration. Henry's friends cannot decide whether most of her interests are at Marshall or at a University in West Virginia and she has not yet informed them. She is an untiring worker on the Mirabilia board, and “unconscious as the sunshine, JOHN BRAUKMAN, Konceverte, W. Ya. The handsome young (?) man you see here was reared among the mountains of Greenbrier county. By profession he is a telegraph operator, but be is going to school “on the side.” He is tin very backbone of the Expression Department, and a great story teller in the IMiysics class. Sometimes be is curtailed in the most interesting part of a “tisli story.” Incidentally be was made business manager of the Mirabilia Board. “A worthless person, a man of iniquity, is lit that rnaketh signs with his fingers.” Urov. 6;12-13. 4fl ROBERT LAWRENCE COKICLEY, Harrisville, W. Va. Mr. Cokeley is one of tlie foremost members of our Hass and is noted for his unswerving integrity and honesty. These qualities have won for him many friends. He is a gentleman of strong personality and it may he easily told by his excellent work in Caesar that he possesses an unusual breadth of mind. 11 is vocation is not permanently settled but his ideal is high. EPF IE COREL Y, Central City, Y. Va. Eftie is always tin same girl no matter under what circumstances she is placed. She is a sincere, sympathizing soul, one to whom you can tell your troubles as well as your pleasures. Her presence makes the world seem brighter and life merrier. Her sweet disposition and her many acts of kindness have won for her leg ions of friends among the students. Her work in the MinthUia shows that she possesses great intellectual ability. She succeeds in every thing she undertakes, but excels in writing love stories. HENRY DORSEY, Pearl, V. Va. The Editor in Chief of the .Iff-rabilia was horn sometime hack at Pearl, West Virginia. He has been a farmer, merchant, and teacher, but at last he came to Marshall. He is six feet tall. Age? The charms of the fair sex seem to be the least of his troubles, but he is a young man of many thoughts and few words except in (icometrv. where he repeats theorems and proofs without stopping to think, and gets them right. He is one of our best Juniors. Mr. Dorsey says he “was never married, coz leap year doesn't come often enough.” THEODORE HOLDEN, Harlin, W. Va. Mr. Ilolden is the Bismarck of the Junior class. IIis chief characteristic is his iron determination. The Mirabilia owes its success largely to liis energy and perseverance. The teachers all think well of Theodore, for prepared or unprepared he is always ready to recite. Those who have debated again! him declare that he possesses occult power. They say when his fierce gaze falls on them their well prepared arguments vanish. ‘ lf aught of prophecy be mine. Thou wilt not live in vain.” BEULAH DAVIS. Huntington. Y. Va. Nature has been kind to Miss Davis in personal appearance. At least this is the opinion of all the young gentlemen of the school. She is one of the youngest and one of the best members of the class. Her favorite pastime is Laboratory work. She says her happiest day is coming in June. ’09. Miss Davis has legions of friends all of whom wish her well in whatever vocation she may employ her talents. L. M. HOLTON, Huntington, V. Va. Mr. Dolton, formerly of Lincoln county, but now of this city, is a pleasant and affable young gentleman. He is one of the strongest members of the Junior class,and will always be honored and esteemed by all of our class for his yeomanry services as captain of our base-ball team last year. He has been very successful in teaching “young ideas how to shoot.” He has been principal of the Griflithsville school two years. 48 JESSE RAYMOND GORDON, Liverpool, W. Va. It has been said that oratory was interred in the graves of our fathers. Now Jesse's great, ambition is to prove that this is false. He has committed to memory all the classic speeches of the English language and is now working on the German, although he says he does not think much of German as a medium of expressing thought. For recreation he takes five of the hardest studies offered at Marshall. “Thy kingly intellect shall feed until she be an athlete bold.” MARGUERITE EATON, Huntington, YV. Va. Marguerite has the honor of be ing one of the best artists in Mar shall, and that is saying a great deal, tOO, for we have some good ones. But her art is not all she loves, we are told. She has a subtle grace that is very attractive to the eyes of the boys. Tradition has it that, at one time, she was very much enamoured of a certain Marshall boy; but tin Fates have decreed it otherwise and it is no longer M. C. but II. II. S. Marguerite will either be an artist or a wife, she has not yet decided which. “It is better to be a young man’s slave than an old man's darling.'' WARREN WELLINGTON JOHNSON, Meadowville, W. Va. From this young man's name, one would at once conclude that lie is a tighter. Such, however, is not the case. No member of the class is of a more peaceful turn oi mind. This has been demonstrated by his having taught school for nine years in one village. Mr. Johnson is also a skillful musician whose services are very frequently in requisition, as is known by all who have had the pleasure of being at the Saturday night receptions. 411 CARLE CLAY HENSON, Lewiston, Y. Va. Mr. Henson, coming from so near (he Capitol 'ity, naturally has high aspirations. He is a very influential young man. The students think whatever Carle does is the proper thing. In his English class he is quite partial to the study of poems, some of which appear to eoicide with his sentiments. He is an enthusiastic Y. M. C. A. worker, and is looking forward to the time when he will have l . 1). attached to his name. (Sreen Sulphur Springs, Y. Va. It may he truthfully said that Dorothy is one of the best girls in the Hall. She is just a little taller than some people, also somewhat modest and retiring in her manners, but we cannot say that she is backward when she comes to her recitation. She does successfully everything that is required of her and she receives unhounded praise from all of her teachers. We do not know what she intends to do, but judge that she would make an excellent teacher. CHARLES ROWLAND WOOD, Huntington, W. Va. Rowland was perhaps first known at Marshall in the Study Hall and Library, where his studious habits caused him to change his seat too often and study too loudly. Rowland is especially entertaining in his English classes when he argues, and cannot be convinced even by Webster. He knows that Portia and Bassanio did not “live happily ever afterward,” for they quarreled soon after marriage. Rowland is very loyal to that which he loves—vi .., Virginia, West Virginia and the Mirahiliu Board. 50 ALONZO GROVER LIVELY, Roseville, W. Va. As is suggested by his name, Lonnie is a very ‘ Lively” boy. Tie tries to investigate all phases of a subject before he finally makes up his mind. This often leads him into serious altercations with his various teachers. To silence his arguments, the teachers have all learned to keep quiet.- Report has it that he will make a lawyer of himself sometime in the future, lie is a great favorite with all the young ladies. This can be accounted for only by the fact that lu� always agrees with what the girls say. RESKIE GALL, Philippi, Y. Va. When the new Junior roll was made up at the beginning of this year, among the many names that appeared for the first time, was that of Miss Gall. In this instance, the class was especially fortunate, for she is one of those energetic people who make up the strength of any class. She is always ready to help along any worthy movement. Miss Gall ranks high in her school work and has made manv warm friends here. SILAS ELMER McDONALD, Mann, W. Va. Mr. McDonald, the president of the class.is one of the gallant and knightly young men of Logan county. His pleasant smiles and charming looks are irresistible to the young ladies. His gentle and affable disposition has won him a host of friends of both sexes. He has recently distinguished himself in the Ciceronian Debating Club. Mathematics is his hobby and lie has many compliments from the Professors in that department. 51 C. C. MYER, Meeker, W. Va (Minton M.ver is oue of our foremost students and lias the honor of being the president of the Mi-rubilia hoard. He is a very prominent in school life and among other distinctions is a member of Marshall’s basket-ball team. Myer is very studious and shines in all his Hasses. Me has chosen the Normal course and will undoubtedly he successful as a teacher. TKXIK GARRETT. Wayne, W. Va. Any one who ever talks to Tex-ie never forgets her. She is liked by every one. It is said, however, tliat she would actually break dormitory rules for the sake of having fun. She says she intends to teach in a Normal School sometime, but we presume nor, unless very soon. Texie might have been an 'OS but stayed out just to be a .Junior and Senior with us, of which we are glad, for she not only has a bright face and jolly nature, hut is one of Marshall's verv best students. W. A. SPRUCE, Charleston, W. Va. Hilly hails from Charleston, W. Va., and he entered Marshall before he shed his knee trousers. He is a noted basket-ball player, and always aims to be on the ground when time for practice rolls around. Spruce is unusual.'; ly bright in his studies. This is shown in his Trigonometry class when he proves to his teacher that an octagon is a ten-sided tig ure. lb is an earnest Y. M. 0. A. worker and has an air of dig nity on all occasions. He is studying to be a civil engineer and it is probable that lie will locate at Spencer, W. Va. 52 ARTHUR SAGE TOWNSEND, Huntington, W. Va. This bright promising young man was a transportation from the northern part of the State. Although one of the youngest members of our class, lie is by no means the least conspicuous. He was one of the main officials of the Mirabilia. lie is an ardent student of Classics. lie thinks Greek is easy enough to be known by everyone, and thinks it foolish that all people can not read Virgil. That he is a master with the pen is evident to any one who reads the ' eta Rho Epsilon History. CLARICE GEORGE, Green Sulphur Springs, W. Va. This bright and diligent girl conies from Green Sulphur Springs. Clarice always has a serious expression on her face. She says she hasn’t time to even consider the opportunities that leap year offers, as all of her time is devoted to her studies. The result of this close application is seen when she receives her grades at the close of the term. She is very obedient to her teachers, especially when asked to speak louder in class. Among those who receive their diplomas in June, 1909, none will be more deserving than Clarice. ROBERT GORDON TURNEY, Huntington, V. Va. Mr. Turney came to us last year from the Huntington High School. The girls say he is one of the handsomest boys in the Junior ('lass, and one of the most gallant. He was very popular among the ladies last year, but, as a Junior he seems to be rather shy. He is probably only giving the girls a chance for their leap year right. Robert is studious and quiet, and an excellent addition both to the Junior (’lass and to Marshall College. w SUSAN LOUISE SMITH, St. Mary’s W. Va. Miss Smith is one of the young ladies who helped to bring the Mirabilia into existence. She believes in studying, and yet she is by no means a book-worm. Wherever there is merry-making, there will you find Susan. Bright, happy and full of fun, she is always ready to say the little kind word, so easily left unsaid, which cheers the despondent, and leaves forever a warm spot in our hearts. “She s| eaks and every sound is hushed; she smiles and all is bright.” Keuova, W. Va. •I lin York comes from Kenova, He is six feet live inches tall and wears a “smile that won’t come oil.” He has gained many honors at Marshall and is popular among his fellow students, lie has a gift for oratory and few surpass him in that line. He was president of the Virginian Literary Society for the spring term and a debater in tin Inter-Society Contest. .JOHN V. YORK, STELLA RIGGS, Joseph's Mills, W. Va. Everyone knows that Stella is the wittiest member of the Junior Glass. She is a lover of fun, and always greets her friends with a smile. She was never known to look sour except when there was no Saturday evening reception given. The girls are pleased to see Stella put in her ap| earance on (‘very occasion, and all feel that the hall would be a desolate place without her. She is very fond of reading and never lets anything interfere with her “Library Periods.” 54 STANLEY COFFMAN, Huntington, V. Ya. Mr. Coffman lias not been with us long, but we are glad to be able to call him one of our own. We sometimes wonder bow a man so quickly gains favor with the holies. Mr. Hoffman must surely know, for on every public occasion lie is seen going at a '1 :dt) pace toward the College Parlor. We don't say bow fast he leaves. ‘ ln stature rather short, but every inch a man. LOREN A DULINO CANTER IH’KY, Malden, W. Va. Miss Canterbury is one of the quiet, dignified girls of our class. She is a good, thorough student, always willing to do her part in everything. We are inclined to think Miss Canterbury felt quite agitated, when the girls of the Dormitory were instructed to dispose of their cooking utensils. Nevertheless, she reluctantly com plied with the request, saying. “It is better not to eat so much anyway.” She is very fond of riding on the train, and it is said that every night when No. Id comes in. she is half way out of the window. 55 ERNEST HEADLEY, Madison, W.

By the fall term of 1900 we had become Sophomores, and Mr. C. C. Myer was elected chief. At this time there were eighty names on our class roll. Between the spring term and the fall term, 1907, Marshalls curriculum was changed. Every branch of the work was strengthened. So many new requirements were added to the work of the Junior Class that most of the Sophomores of last year could not comply with them, therefore they are Sophomores still. The Senior course was also revised, so that some of the Juniors of last year are Juniors still. A few of ilie more brilliant Sophomores, however, had made for themselves a new and faster schedule. A change in the curriculum could not outdo them. They were ready for the occasion. When the fall term of 1907 opened, fourteen Sophomores had become Juniors. When tin? roll had been completed, we found that them had boon added to our number some of the most substantial students from other schools and some of Marshall’s students who had been out of school for a few years. Yet in numbers we do not equal the class of last year. Our Junior work began in earnest. Soon after the open ing of the fall term, a meeting was called for the purpose of electing officers for the present year. Here is where we showed our faith, for a great many of us, if we voted at all, had to vote for those who were practically strangers to us. Nevertheless, we ventured our judgment of human nature and elected a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and reporter. Mr. II. B. Abbott, was elected president, and was leader of a mighty band. He was compelled to leave in the winter term on account of his eyes, and Mr. S. E. McDonald was chosen to till the vacancy. 57 To sum up our variations and qualifications, we are coni posed of Sophomores of last year. Juniors of last year, and others of the l est the state has to offer. The talents and vocations of our body are so diversified as to tit us for all avocations. We are represented in both literary societies, all the debating clubs, The Dramatic Club, the Athletic Association, the Deutsche Gesellschaft, Zeta Rho Epsilon, V M. C. A., and V. W. A. Surely strength lies not in quantity, but in quality. Some of our qualities were tested in the publication of the MirabiUa. A board consisting of twelve members was chosen. It was the duty of this board to assume the responsibility of gathering the material and completing the publication of the annual. The remainder of us contributed liberally in the way of art. One of the striking characteristics of our class is the harmony that usually prevails at its meetings. However, there are occasional differences of opinion. Especially was this true when we were discussing the possibility of a Junior class day exercise. Different opinions were freely expressed, and then the vote was taken. Of course, the minority did not get its wish, but all is now quiet. We trust that our unity will remain unbroken, and that when we have gone out into the world in 1909 we may be remembered by all succeeding classes, as the class of unity, of peace, of good fellowship, and one that has brought dignity and prestige to the College.

Each voar in I Ik history of a school there is a call for a Freshman class. In the fall of 1900 the clarion was sounded and a cry went forth. The response was astounding. Intelli gent hoys and girls came forth a hundred strong. A few were from the city, hut a greater number came from the farm. The vacancy in the field was noticed by the loving father, but he looked upon it with pride. The mother heard no longer the sweet girlish voice in the home, hut she was not sad. Bach evening two proud parents sat and talked of the college life of John and Kate and wondered if amid their college fun, they ever thought of home. For years they had been saving that their son and daughter might go to college. Now their fondest hopes were realized. Of such are we. Could we fail? Could we stand idly by and see other classes push past us and win honors which might have been ours? Or could we linger in the valley of listlessness and view unconcernedly the footprints of some one high upon the mountain of success? In truth not so. A good staff of officers piloted us safely through the buffeting winds of the sea of Prepdoin and launched us upon a sea wholly unknown to us—a sea whose waters had been furrowed by the barques of previous classes, a sea whose eastern waves mingle with the waters of Prepdoin and whose western billows dash madly upon the rocks of Juniority. The fall term of 11107 opened with bright prospects for our class. Most of our class mates were in their places ready to resume their studies. A few vacancies were noticed, but they were soon tilled by others to whom we extend a warm welcome. Early in tin term, officers were elected who were fully competent to manage the affairs of so great a class. Our achievements in athletics are many. Without boasting, we can say that we are second to none. Classes have 62 gone before us who have excelled along certain lines. But our class is among the first in all. We have many gridiron heroes who have aided in carrying the Green and White to victory. In base-ball we have been very successful. In basket ball we are not devoid of representatives. Some members of our class were enrolled upon the best team in the history of the school. Intellectually the class ranks high. Many have had their names upon the first honor roll, which is no mean distinction. A great number of the best in class work are from our ranks. In the two literary societies, strong essays, debates and readings are the results of Sophomore labor. In the debating clubs, many also do honor to themselves and to the class. No matter where you find a member of our class, his intellectual light shines brightly. —HISTORIAN. f3 COLLLGE-HALL GIRLS ON THE LAWN. President . ... Vice-President Secretary Treasurer ....

Therefore, little is known of us, and doubtless the whole school wants to know more. We are certain the Juniors do, for, knowing that the Mirabilia would be incomplete without our history, they gave us space for it. This is the beginning of that history which is not of past events, but of present and future. Since tlie 11th of February, 1908, we have been an or ganized band, who, with Miss Tolbert and I)r. Saylor as officers and Mr. Lawrence Starkey for our president, shall never fall by the wayside. Mr. Starkey is very popular at Marshall and is noted for his good looks, quiet disposition, and his earnest work for the class, lie is a good student and has been known to lx so studious as to remain in the class room until the door was locked. As well as others of our class, he is known on the athletic field. Our N ice President and Secretary are two of our best students, and Mr. Chapman tills well the office of Treasurer, for he is untiring in his work for the class. With such officers and a loyal class, we are doubly sure of success. Our motto, “veritas vos liberabitis one which is appropriate for Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, or Seniors, and our colors, pale blue and old gold, are the prettiest in school. The laurel, a symbol of victory, is our flower, and ere we are Seniors, we shall have won many. Yes, we are Freshmen, but the Freshman class is a stepping stone to higher things. When we graduate in June, 1011, we shall still be loyal to the pale blue and gold, and the President of the College, our class officers, and other teachers will be proud of us. While thinking of ours, the best class record ever made at Marshall, they will say sadly of the 'OS’s and '09’s and '10's; Si hoc, fccisscnt, bene fuisset. W SSVrK) KYKHSSIJM FRESHMEN CLASS Anderson.

It first organized when Marshall College numbered 533 students and it has grown and strengthened with the growth of the school. It is now the musical center of the Southern part of West Virginia, and has kept pace with the other departments of the College. It has now become a permanent part of the institution. The department boasts of a most capable faculty, a generous equipment, and a comprehensive course of study, embracing not alone the study of instrument and voice, but the theoretical works allied with them. Last year it was found that more room was needed to accomodate its rapidly increasing list of students and the third floor of the new building was finished for this purpose. The Department of Music is now housed in these new quarters. The studios have been fitted tip not only with special reference to the duties of teaching, but with an eye to the artistic effect, so that the student may develop along these lines as well. The Department now offers instruction in each of the following subjects: Piano, Voice, Violin, Har- mony, and History of Music. ( MORAL ( LASS, SKXIOK KXPKKSSIOX. 1. Cliness 2. CundifT 8. Chaim 4.

The present two-year course of study was established in the Fall of 1.900, when Miss Florence C. White, of Emerson College of Oratory, Boston, took charge of the work. Though it required some time to accustom students to the idea of a regular course of instruction in this, as in all other branches of study, the effort has proved to be worth while. The course comprises two years, or six consecutive terms, of class and private instruction. The main divisions of the work are Expression, Physical Culture, Voice Culture, Pantomime, Dramatic Art, while interpretative Shakes|K arean work lends variety to the fundamental instruction. All of the students of the Second Year Class are prominent members of the Dramatic Club. The first graduating class from the Department is composed of six young ladies. During the Commencement of 1908, the class will give two graduate recitals. Diplomas of graduation will be awarded. Several of the members of this class have already had considerable experience upon concert programs, and nearly all have won local distinction for work done in society contests and amateur theatricals. The first year class is composed of ten (10) members. During the spring term of 11)08 the members of this class will participate in an oratorical contest and will also present a Pantomime. Aside from these two classes, there are many special students enrolled, so that the work is steadily growing to very satisfactory proportions. The studio, now assigned to Miss White, is on the first floor, adjacent to the Auditorium, and is very cozy and delightful. Here a few earnest young people are working for self-culture and artistic development. Judging by the progress made in the past two years, the future has much in store for the work in Expression at Marshall College. 74 JUNIOR EXPRESSION. DEPARTMENT OF ART. The Department of Art and Manual Training greets the readers of the Mirabilia, and welcomes yon to the tine new studio on tho third floor of the new building. The room is 70x45, with north and sky lights, and is equipped with easels, tables, casts, studies, a movable display screen, and black board. We offer courses in Drawing, Light and Shade, Color and Design, Landscape and Composition, Wood working, Mechanical Drawing. Clay Modelling, Bent Iron. Metal work, Leather Tooling and Hook Binding. Stenciling. Wood block cutting and Printing. The aim of the Department is threefold. 1st. To develop the power to see. 2nd. To develop a power to express. 3rd. To develop a power to appreciate the good and beautiful in all things pertaining to school and home life. YOUNG WOMEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION 1907-’08. President .................................

The Young Women’s Christian Association was organized in March, 1903. The first president, Miss Ihiteher, was chosen from the faculty. All the others have been selected from among the girls. The following young ladies have served as president: Miss Frances Crooks, 01; Miss Sallie Humph- reys, ’05; Miss Esther Crooks, ‘00; Miss Charlotte Wade, ’07, and Miss Sybil Ball, '08. The membership lias increased during these years from thirteen to seventy. Up to the beginning of the session of 1007 08 our Y. W. C. A., together with the other associations of West Virginia and of Virginia, belonged to the Southern Conference, which held its meetings at Ashville, North Carolina. In the reorganization of Ohio and West Virginia, our association became a part of the new territory, and hereafter our delegates will attend the East Central Students’ Conference of Mountain Lake Park, Maryland. The prayer circle, held five evenings in the week, the Sunday afternoon devotional service, the Mission Class and the Wednesday evening Bible Study Classes are regular fea tures of Association work. The group system of Bible Study with a student leader was introduced this year. The courses of work taken up bv these groups require from two to three hours’ of systematic study each week. About twenty girls are enrolled in this work and nearly twice that number belong to the class taught by Miss ('uminings, superintendent of the Department of Education. 80 There are twelve members of the Mission Class, which is under the leadership of Miss Hughes, one of the teachers in the college. The interest in Missions is greatly stimulated through the influence of Frances ('rooks, a former student and president of the Y. W. C. A., who is now a missionary in India. ! Several receptions are given throughout the year; some for the girls alone, others to which the Y. M. O. A. boys are invited. In order to raise money for various expenses we issued a “Marshall Souvenir Calendar” for 1908, and presented Walter Bradley Tripp, of the Fmerson School of Oratory in a reading from “Martin Chu z lewit.” 81 YOUNG MEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION 1908-’09.

It has had a rapid growth, and exerts a potent influence in the life of the school. Xyde Henson, 05, was the first president. He was succeeded by Ira L. Dadisnian, 00, who was elected the next year to finish Mr. Henson's term of office. In February, 190(5, L. 1. Hoover, 07, was elected. He was succeeded in the spring of 1907, by I . F. Moore, 0S. H. ). Fast, 08, was elected in January, 1908, to finish Mr. Moore’s unexpired term. Archibald McQueen, ’10, was elected for the year be ginning with the spring term of 1908. It is the purpose of the Association to organize the Chris tian students of the school into an effective working force for the promotion of those activities that tend to better liv ing and greater helpfulness. The devotional meetings are held on Sunday, at 0:30 P. M., in Association Hall. The Bible Study classes are considered a most important part of the V. M. (’. A. work. This year courses of 7, 24, or JO studies have been completed by five groups, with a total enrollment of 38 students. The Mission Study classes had an enrollment of about 30 students. The annual Y. M. ( . A. Student Conferences have been a source of great help to our Association. Cyrus Van Bibber and I . F. Moore were delegates to the Lakeside Conference, in June, 1905; and H. P. Tompkins, in 1906. I). F. Moore, M. F. Smith, L. B. Crotty, K. C. Spangler, and V. II. Franklin were delegates to Xiagara-on-the-Lake in June, 1907. L. G. Hoover, Waldo C. Henson, and I). F. Moore were delegates to the Student Volunteer Convention held at Nashville, Tenn., in March. 1906. With the year 1907 08 the Association assumed the management of the Marshall College Lecture Course, and it has undertaken to bring before the students and patrons of the College, each year, a series of first class entertainments and lectures. At the opening of each term, members of the Association meet all trains, to welcome new students and to assist them in adjusting themselves to their new surroundings. 84 VIRGINIAN LITERARY SOCIETY.

York, Jane Gotshall, Mary Reed, Germa Adkins, Virginia Humble, Flossie Cox, HISTORY OF VIRGINIAN LITERARY SOCIETY In order that a free, unrestrained feeling of social inter course should exist in the school rather than the cold selfish conduct to which seclusion leads, there must be means of association which will bring the students closer together. Literary Societies constitute a medium through which this is brought about. The separate societies introduce u stimulating feeling of friendly rivalry which serves to perpetuate their existence, and increases the amount of good which the members derive from the work. Among the organizations which are doing much for the young men and women of this institution, the Virginian Literary Society modestly, yet proudly lays claim to recognition. About the year 1800. Marshall College awakened from a period of seeming inactivity, and began quickly to advance to a more prominent and useful position among the educational institutions of the state. It was at this time that the Virginian Society was formed by the joining of the two old societies, the Hyperion, for women and the ICrosophian. for men. This union proved beneficial, yet every thing was not harmonious; contention and dissatisfaction arose, and as a result, a few of the more ambitious and impulsive members withdrew to organize what is now the Erosophian Society. This was, at first, quite embarrassing to the mother society, but the very fact of having a rival served to unite factions, hush dissentions, and heal wounds. The Virginian society soon gained her equilibrium, and pushed forward vigorously, gaining at every step strength and force. The Inter Society Contest, introduced in 19(10, has been invaluable in developing the young men and women of Marshall College. The two societies have carried on a very friendly and valuable competition, both as to literary and pecuniary achievments. In the first contest the Virginians were VIRGINIAN LITERARY SOCIETY. the victors in all points, the only time such a result has been experienced, yet she has ever had her share of honors. In the spring of 1900 the “Furnell Trophy,” a beautiful silver wreath was awarded to the Virginians, because they were successful in winning a majority of the points in the annual contest, and by the brilliant work of her debaters, musician and reader, this trophy was retained in 1907. Time alone will decide whether or not this wreath will continue to adorn Virginian walls or be surrendered to our respected and honored sister society. In the fall of 1907, the Virginian society moved from the old room to more commodious quarters in the South half of the old chajM l hall. The members set industriously to work and soon had the room well painted and furnished. The new hall is much more cheerful than the old one and gives enthusiasm and inspiration to the literary meetings. At the beginning of the winter term, 1908, seven energetic Virginians, under the direction of Miss White, gave a three act comedy. From this entertainment the society realized a handsome surplus. Now in her own beautiful and well appointed home, surrounded by every thing conducive to good work, and controlled by the brilliant and judicious young men and women who make up her membership, there is no reason why The Virginian Society should not continue to flourish.

Their progress was slow until the fall term of 181)( , when they were united as one organization—The Virginian. The brilliant and prosperous beginning was soon shadowed by strife and discontent among some of the leaders. In the fall term of 181)7, some of these discontented members withdrew from the Virginian society and formed a new organization which they called Krosophian or Seekers of Wisdom, a name well fitting so distinguished a body. The two societies now began on an equal footing, and a spirit of friendly rivalry at once arose, which made both stronger. This spirit was greatly augmented when the Annual Inter-Society 'ontest was introduced in 11)00. For this contest an orator, essayist, debater, and reader are chosen from each society. An award of ninety dollars is divided between the two societies according to the number of points gained. In all there are fifteen points of honor, of which debate counts six; oration, four; essay, three; and reading, two. In this, as well as in all intellectual matters, so much ability has been shown that the sister society never questions whether the Kro-sophians have found wisdom. From the Krosophian society, once small, time has proved that from quality groweth quantity. At first the members were.,few and the hall seemed very large, but in a few years the Krosophians found they had outgrown the old home and now the society is occupying a handsome new hall on the third lloor. The prosperity of the society in a financial way is evidenced in the expenditure of four hundred dollars in furnishing the new hall so that now it is one of the most attractive literary society halls in the state. The dedication of the new hall, February 21, 11)08, was one of the most interesting features of this year. The history of Krosophianism is now tilled with honors, and as we look into the depth of the future we see nothing but a bright and prosperous career. HISTORIAN. w EROSOPHIAX LITERARY SOCIETY CURRENT EVENTS CLUB. This, the first organization of its kind for young women in College Hall, had its origin in a called meeting in the reception room, October IS, l!)t)7. A committee was appointed to prepan programmes for the meeting. This arrangement continued throughout the term, the oflice of chairman being tilled by the members in alphabetical order. From the original ten, the membership increased to seventeen. Upon the opening of the winter term the name “Current Events Club” was chosen after due consideration. The club is characterized by great dignity in all its procedures. The formality reaches its height in the respectful “madam chairman,” with which the presiding officer is always addressed. The members' lack of knowledge of parliannentary law is never a stumbling-block in the path of tin progress of this society. “Where ignorance is bliss, ’tis folly to Ik wise.” The programmes are limited to three tive-to-ten minutes ••speeches,” but in spite of the brevity of the programme, frequently as seven o'clock draws near, whisperings of Wic viel I hr ixt ext” and mutterings about “other engagements' are to be heard. Strange to say, these disturbances usually come from that part of the room occupied by Misses Edwards, Sandige. Horn. Callaway, Kiggs and Smith. It is believed that the only permanent relief for this condition will be found in a ruling that no lecture, musical, or entertainment of any kind whatever, be held at Marshall College on Friday evening, this evening being sacred to the ( . E. There is not often a failure on the programme, but when there is, Miss Spangler can favor the club with an extemporaneous report from the Legislature, or Miss Horn can give a brief history of basket ball in Marshall College, tin information in both cases being gleaned from sources mysterious. wrrwrw TIWi ■m CURRENT EVENTS CLUB. Sandige Edwards White Spangler Witten Cobb Horn White Campbell Menefee Larew Callaway Riggs Smith Hoffman Ball Goddard THE EXCELSIOR CLUB The Excelsior Club was organized twelve months ago by twelve young men who deemed it wise to limit the membership to twelve members. In place of a regular president holding office for a specified period of time, the chair is filled each meeting by the members succeeding each other in alphabetical order. This unusual, yet commendable provision of the constitution gives to each of the twelve practice as presiding officers and drill in parliarmentary usage. From the first meeting great interest has lK� en manifested and the performance of duty has been placed above everything else. Nothing other than a pressing engagement made in some unaccountable state of blissful forgetfulness has been able to keep the young men from being present. Lectures, plays, and receptions only serve to convene the assembly an hour earlier than schedule time, and it is unnecessary to add that on such occasions the members run with the clock. The personnel of the club has been greatly changed since its organization. Graduation, resignation, and dropping out of school because of ill health have been the chief causes of change in membership. Our greatest loss was that of our distinguished charter member, accomplished leader, and bril liant speaker, John Hay Davis, who was compelled to discontinue his work on account of ill health. When we remember his love for the Excelsior Club, that he held duty to this little organization as binding as duty of the state, we realize more and more the loss of so loyal a member. At each meeting the chairman has his programme for the evening prepared in accordance with his own desires. These programmes usually follow the same line of work and give to each member a current topic upon which he speaks without previous preparation. These meetings are often varied by some progressive member who has a particular ideal in life and hy adjusting it to present conditions attempts to see his future position exemplified in miniature. In the fall term 04 IL CL LSI OK OLl'K, Pool Foster Miller Crotty Robinson Hivelv Brackman Smith Spangler Tompkins Hamilton GolT a moot court was conceived by (Ik fertile brain of J. R. Davis. The dignified manner in which “Your honor!” ruled (lie court proved to the club that Mr. Davis was at home under (he sobriquet of “Judge.” One of the most interesting meetings was a presentation of the most distinguished senators of the I . S. Senate. Mr. Hamilton, as Vice President Fairbanks, called the meeting to order and announced that the august body was ready for business. After assigning names to the members, Senator Culberson (Hivelv), introduced a bill for tariff revision. It was championed by Senators Daniels (Smith), Tillman (Rob inson). Stone (Goff), Davis (Crotty), and Bacon (Spangler); opposed by Senators Beveridge (Tompkins), Aldrich (Pool), Knox (Brackman), and La Follette (Miller). After much heated discussion the bill became a law. With such a record, with such talented members, with the fixed determination to become more proficient, a brilliant future is before us. HISTORIAN.

It was on this memorable day that a few young men met in the room of a fellow student and organized the Ciceronian Debating Club. It was not long, however, until the little society out grew the place of meeting, and with Mr. Oorbly’s consent, they moved to a room in the college. This club today shows a most remarkable growth in power and influence, the result of efficient work. That there is no excellence without great labor is believed by each member, and each strives to excel. Every Friday night the members are so thrilled by the eloquence of the speakers that they rejoice in being Ciceron-ians. Attendance is stimulated by a well enforced set of rules. Any member absent twice without excuse or once if on the programme, forfeits his right to membership. Ilis name is dropped and a better man is found to take his place. In this manner, all hangers-on are cut off and the organization is kept in a healthy, growing condition. The membership consists of twenty five men, all of whom are influential students. The work of the society is not excelled by that of any other organization and if we were to speak a prophetic sentence, it would be, that in a very few years, the members of the Ciceronian Debating Club will be making the history of West Virginia and the literature of America. w HISTORY OF THE SENATE In recognition of the fact that success in oratory conies only through persistent efforts, a few resolute young men met January 24, 1908, and organized The Senate.” This hodv, composed of twelve bright young Webstei-s, meets every Friday evening. Its members devote at least one hour to a thorough extemporaneous discussion of current and economic questions. II is truly wonderful how well some of these burning questions are solved. Then, too, it is a source of inspiration to observe with what zeal and enthusiasm the members perform the duties assigned them. By earnest effort. The Semite in its short life lias accomplished much. This is so universally recognized that a similar organization, which was formed two years ago, sometimes ‘‘patterns” by resolving itself into a “Senate.” The true work of the organization, however, will he more apparent in future years when the voices of its members are heard echoing through the halls of Congress. Owing to the fact that all who belong to “The Senate” are men of ability and energy, it has no officers. In alphabetical order, each in his turn presides at one of the meetings. Harmony and union are so much in evidence that a constitution is not necessary for the maintenance of order and system. Nevertheless, there are heated discussions among its members. At times the strains of oratory are floating on every breeze. Again, emphatic decisive tones alternate with softened accents and rise and fall as do the ocean waves. Favored as it is with a full membership of active hardworking young men, “The Senate” looks forward to a successful future resplendent with the concentrated effort of all ils members, united in this instructive and fascinating work. 100 SKXATK CL UK.

Our society is made up of the members, past and present, of the Greek department of Marshall College. We are completing only our third year, yet we have done a great deal toward the accomplishment of our object. We have fostered a spirit of fellowship among the students of the Greek Department, we have provided for ourselves a means of social enjoyment, and we have kept alive many happy remembrances in the hearts of our old members. In obtaining these gratifying results we have done much toward the permanent good of the department, yet we are by no means satisfied. It is our most earnest desire to pro mote the study of the Greek language and literature. We now have about seventy members, many of whom are not in school, but are interested in our work and take great pleasure in joining us at our annual reunion, held at Commencement time. This reunion is celebrated by a banquet, one of the greatest events of the year. Last year our honor guest, Dr. J. E. Harry, of the University of Cincinnati entertained the student body by a most interesting lecture. This feature of Commencement week we hope to repeat. Another delight ful event of our social life is the annual reception for new members. Seven new names were placed on our roll at the last reception, and the following officers were chosen for DIOS'Ob. President, Gaston A. Shumate, 07; Vice President, W. R. Goff, MIS; Secretary and Treasurer, Alberta Cox Kan ode, 07. Our members are interested and enthusiastic. This was demonstrated recently by the beautiful gift which the Greek Department received from Mr. Shumate, a reproduction of one of the slabs from the western frieze of the Parthenon. Under such favorable conditions Zeta Kho Epsilon may well look forward to tin fuller realization of her longings. 102 ZKTA KUO EPSILON. DIE DEUTSCHE GESELLSCHAFT. I� it- Deutsche Gesellschafl or The German 'lub was or ganized at Marshall Gollege in the Month of October, 1007. As tin membership is limited to pupils doing second and third year German work, the enrollment is only seventeen. The club meets the second and fourth Fridays of every month The purpose of this organization is to cultivate the conversational use of the German language. It is also an object of the club to become acquainted with German customs and manners. In order that the true German spirit be inculcated, one of the by-laws of the constitution reads that a penalty of one cent a word be exacted for every Knglish word spoken at any meeting. Again, that all may have more than a general interest in the meetings, a programme is prepared consisting of German anecdotes, autobiographies of the different members of the club, and original articles on some phase of German life, literature, customs and manners. Facli member brings a quotation to every meeting. During the evening German songs are sung. If absence is unavoidable at any meeting, there is a tine of ten cents, unless the member, knowing he cannot be present, sends an excuse? written in German, which is to be read and accepted, if favorable, at the regular meeting. The officers of ,,Der Deutsche Gesellschafl are President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and Reporter. They are elected to hold office one term only, thus giving a greater number of members an opportunity to become familiar with parliarmentary forms in the German language. The club is favored occasionally with German visitors who seem much interested in the programme. A great improvement has been noticed in recent work, especially in the pronunciation and the kind of material presented. All members are to be commended for their faithfulness and loyalty to this organization. 104 1)1 IC DKI’TSCILK (iKSKLLSrilAFT. THE DRAMATIC CLUB The first Marshall College Dramatic riuh was organized bv George M. Ford, in 1007, and Miss White, of the Department of Expression, accepted the position of coach to the club. During the winter term of 1007, the club presented two short sketches, “The Dressing down, a farce, and “My Lord in Livery,” a one-act comedy piece. The work was very commendable and established a reputation for the club. In January, 1008, the Club was reorganized with a membership of thirteen. The following officers were elected: Miss White, Chairman; Miss Mae Coke ley, Secretary; Mr. Harold Tompkins, Treasurer; Mr. Luther Crotty, Business Manager. After mature deliberation, Valley Farm,” a four-act drama, was selected as the vehicle which should enable the members to win undying fame. This play was produced Friday evening, March 13th, 1008, in Marshall College Auditorium. From tin moment of the first inimitable laugh of Verbena” to the touching climax of the fourth act when “Harold Rutledge” clasped the sylph-like form of his “Hetty” in one grand moment of reconcilation, the Thespians held tlie attention of the audience in breathless expectation, or retrospection. “U' irw ran their glory fadet . ) the wild charge, they made!

IIIVELY All forms of athletics in Marshall College are controlled by the Athletic Association, through an executive committee composed of the President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and a fifth member selected by these four. The work of this committee is superintended by a faculty appointed by the President of the College. Under the supervision and control of these committees each particular sport is placed directly under the control of a subordinate committee, composed of a member of the faculty and a manager and a captain elected by the members of the Athletic Association. The following rules have been adopted to govern the organization of all athletic teams:— 1. Athletic teams which represent the College shall be composed of bona fide students only. No one is to be considered a bona fide student unless he carry as many as three units in one of the regular courses given in the school. 2. Any student who has deficiencies in scholarship, shall be considered ineligible to any team until such deficiencies are made up. Athletics should promote physical vigor without lowering the educational standard of the College. 3. No member of any team shall receive any remuneration for services in playing on that team. too 4. Everv contract entered into by any manager of a Marshall College athletic team shall make rules 1, 2 and 3 apply to both parties to the contract. • ). All members of roams and those who accompany them on their “trips” are absolutely forbidden to indulge in alcoholic liquors; and smoking is to be discouraged among active members of teams. ( . All business proceedings of the Athletic Association shall be carefully recorded, to show financial relations from both debit and credit sides. This record shall be open to the inspection of all. 7. A list of players shall be handed to the Faculty before each game, and only those players who are approved bv the Faculty shall he eligible to play in that game. 8. The schedule of games for each branch of Athletics is subject to the approval of the Faculty. As a rule, it is not deemed advisable to schedule games with other than college teams. 1). The enforcement of these rules shall lie with the Executive rommitlee of the Athletic Association, the Faculty rommittee on Athletics, or the Faculty as a whole. The success of the football season of 1907, was due mainly to the business like principles of the manager and tin straightforward methods of the captain. Much might l e said, did space permit, of the players themselves who came to the front during the past year. With the new rules, came the reward of a better spirit and a far better understanding. The football spirit at Marshall has proved the game a clean sport and has not so much as called for a consideration of the proposition to abolish it. It is a hard game and demands strength and training, but the results are well worth tin price of effort. Football is good, because it develops courage, vigor and democracy. Basket-ball has become a popular sport at Marshall. The young ladies have lively contests between teams made up from their own number. The young men, in two years, have developed a team which has made a record for itself in this no part of the State. Marshall has been successful in almost every contest this season. The game has much to recommend it as a sport which combines keen mental activity with vi«r orous, well directed physical exercise, without giving legal opportunity for any undue roughness on the part of the players.
