Maxie is an alumna of M-H and an ardent rooter at all the games. Dean L. H. Burns Maxie Moore Radford Administration is well-trained, active, interested in student morale Business Manager Marshall Buckalew Four years ago Marshall Buckalew gradu- ated from M-H.

Walker Dr. Robert Lasley John Hierso Faculty A lively and well-trained faculty has been a dominant factor in its rapid growth, since moving to Charleston, of M-H. Fully one-third of the faculty have doctorates, a large per- centage for a college of any size. The faculty has been de- scribed by a State Board of Education survey as much superior to the average college faculty. This year members of the faculty and administration have responded to the call for civilian duties relating to the war. Romaine Thompson Cynthia Adkins Edward Lampton Harper G. Grimm Dr. Riggleman and Dr. Blackwell are members of numerous wartime commissions for college student morale and for gen- eral public morale.

Braving the wintry winds of November, Alpha Mu copped first place among the sororities and a prize of $10 in the loan fund drive sponsored by the local Jaycees for needy Morris Harvey students this year. Breaking a tradition of long standing, the AM ' s held a Blackout Party this year instead of the annual carnival, donating proceeds to the new USO building in North Charleston where the party was held. At Christmastime a party was held at the Y with lolly- pops for favors and a Santa Claus to hand them out. Other social activities included a dinner for alumnae members and a party given by pledges for active members at the end of Hell Week. Oldest and largest sorority on the campus, Alpha Mu topped its social season with a Rose dance and dinner at the Daniel Boone hotel on May 29. Active in student publications, AM ' s head the edi- torial staff of the Comet and the business staff of the Harveyan. Four mem- bers of the group acted in the Student Council this year, while an Alpha Mu headed the junior class. Two were honored by Who ' s Who.

Virginia Jordan, President Starting out the year with a bang, Phi Kappa Sigma welcomed freshmen with its third annual Howdy Day, pinning tiny, varicolored megaphones on freshmen and upper-classmen. Novelty of the year ' s social season was the Phi Kap Waistline Party to which admission was charged at the rate of one cent per inch of the girl ' s waistlines. In March the annual Bowery Ball was held with members of the sorority in costume, and an elaborate floor show featuring the Flora Dora Sextette and the Barber Shop Quartet. On June 4, the Phi Kaps topped their activities with a formal dance at the Kanawha Hotel. Three sorority members were also members of Chi Beta Phi, honorary scien- tific fraternity, and three girls were included in Who ' s Who. Phi Kappa elected three of its members as attend- ants to Miss Morris Harvey, while two were attendants to the May Queen, who was also a Phi Kap. 43 Phi Lambda Tau Oma Hilleary, President First row: Jeanne Giesey, Mary Hover, Virginia O ' Dell, Marjorie Stalnaker, Catherine Wheeler, Betty Short.

Betty Dabney, President Only national sorority on the campus, Sigma lota Chi has a small but compact group of girls with a strong group spirit. Originally established as an honor soror- ity in Alexandria, Louisiana, in 1903, the group be- came a social organization, though still maintaining high scholastic requirements and stressing scholastic achievement. The year ' s social activities included a pledge dinner at the home of one of the members, a party given by pledges for active members, and a weiner roast held at Lake Chaweva. High light of the year for Sigmas was the formal dinner dance given at the Kanawha Hotel on May 15, carried out in the sorority colors of purple and gold. The local group was visited by one of the national officers and entertained her at a dinner and social meet- ing, to which pledges, ac- tives, and alumnae were invited. Two members of the sorority were honored by Who ' s Who, one being mentioned in a special sec- tion of the book devoted to second year students. One Sigma is a member of the Morris Harvey octet.

Scooping the other Greek organizations on the campus, Phi Sigma Phi this year became the first to own a club room where meetings, luncheons, and par- ties could be held. The slogan, Keep ' Em Flying, which formed the theme of their float, won them second prize at Homecoming. The chapter entertained fraternity brothers from Athens at an all-college party after the Concord-Morris Harvey game in February. Other social activities in- cluded a hamburger fry for rushees, and several frat luncheons. Phi Sigs are active in student government, holding the presidency of the Student Council, presidency of Pan-Hellenic Council, and presidency of the senior class among their members. Nine of the brothers are listed in Who ' s Who. Prominent in athletics, the fraternity won the an- nual grudge basketball game with Zeta Kappa for the second consecutive year. Phi Sigs control the Varsity Club, holding a ma- jority of the membership and president of the or- ganization. 48 Club Room, Student Council Prexy, Athletic Superiority C, o r ft 49 Zeta Kappa Henry Swoope, President Fanned on the campus for their orange and black ties, ZK pledges underwent their annual all-night note trail this year, racing from South Hills to Kanawha City and back again. Practically a monopoly on first prize in the float competition has been given ZK, which won this year for the fourth consecutive time. The fraternity also ranks high scholastically, standing second among Greek organizations at Morris Harvey last year. Rousing good times mark the weekly social meet- ings held at member ' s homes, while the boys gave several date parties. On March 14 they celebrated their 19th birthday with a co-ed party at the South Charleston Woman ' s Club. Members of the group are prominent journalisti- cally holding down the editorship of the annual, and business managership of the paper. Three ZK ' s are members of the Student Council while one member heads a class. Membership in the Morris Harvey male quartet, also, was composed entirely of ZK talent this year. Ending the term with a bang, the ZK ' s presented their annual variety show, Quiet Please, in late May, with members of the fraternity and local talent. A minstrel, a mellerdram- mer, and specialty num- bers combined to provide an evening of fun for a large audience. First row: Dr. A. C.

Decorations were colorful shields and Greek insignias, and Lloyd Neely s orchestra played for dancing. Rush Week this year was set by the Council for the week of November 10-15, and bidding -took place beginning November 24. The six Greek organizations pledged 68 students. Membership in the Council is composed of the president and one member elected from every Greek organization on the campus. Three faculty members are chosen yearly by the Council as sponsors. Organized in September, 1938, Pan-Hell is an effort to obtain closer cooperation amon g sororities and fraternities in college activities. Its con- stitution is the result of the joint efforts of a committee from each of the Greek groups. 52 Chi Beta Phi Llewellyn Cole, Winner of this year ' s Chi Beta Phi Key Established solely for girl students of science, Epsilon Sigma chap- ter of Chi Beta Phi is finishing its fourth year of existence with a reputation of increasing brilliance. Meeting frequently with members of Epsilon chapter of the national organization, the group of aspiring young students also holds stag sessions from time to time. Admission into the group is by invitation and the requirements include completion of 20 or more semester hours in the natural sciences and mathematics plus additional work. Seven new pledges were taken into the group this year, and were honored at a dinner at the New China Restaurant. At a later meeting, the newly-initiated members read short scientific papers to the assembled group. A dinner meeting was held at the Franklin Cafe late in September at which organization plans for the year were made. 53 Byron Thumm, President Chi Beta Phi Dinner meetings to which prominent local speakers are invited are held monthly by members of Epsilon chapter of Chi Beta Phi together with Epsilon Sigma chapter. Frequent chapter meetings are also held at which the latest developments in science are discussed. Yearly project of the group is the awarding of a medal, known as the Chi Beta Phi Science Medal, to the M-H student who attains the highest average on the first 24 hours of college science, provided this average is 90% or above. Outstanding among the 21 chapters of the national organization, Epsilon chapter again entered the winning student essay in the annual contest this year, winning for the second time in three years. A scholarship key is awarded each year to the outstanding student in the local group. Sponsor of the chapter is Professor A. C. Blackwell, who also serves as grand president of the fraternity. He presided at its twenty-fifth anniversary cele- bration of Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia, in May. Established on May 19, 1923, the local chapter is one of nine chapters in West Virginia. The fraternity ' s 21 active chapters have a total member- ship of 2,800. MEMBERS A. C.

It is to his enthusiasm and encour- agement that the choir owes a large measure of its success. Since he came to Morris Harvey in 1939, Ewing has built up the choir to many times its original size, devoting long hours to practice and improvement. He graduated from Per- sons College and received his Master of Music degree from the University of Michigan, where he returned to study last summer. Closing a busy, successful season, the 50-voice Morris Harvey Phil- harmonic Choir presented its annual spring concert at the St. John ' s Parish House early in May. A series of trips featured the season, choir members traveling to Milton, Hurricane, White Sulphur and other places to present programs. At Christmastime, the Messiah ' by George Handel, was presented by the group for the second consecutive year. Local artists assisted the group as soloists. In April, choir members entertained with a Record Dance at the Y. A courtroom scene in rhythm, and the Ink Spots, alias the M-H Quartet, fea- tured the floor show. On Easter Sunday, the choir, for the first time, took part in the city Sunrise Services on the steps of the State Capitol building. The octet, composed of the M-H Quartet and four female voices, pre- sented programs at Griffithsville, Hamlin, and Branchland, as well as singing at various civic organization meetings.

A discussion series on the theme of Christian Faith and Recon- struction was conducted by the club every Thursday afternoon, directed by some member of the club, with a faculty member as guest consultant. A series of several radio programs was held over WGKV by club members. Early in the year Mrs. Louise Pfuetze, regional secretary of the Student Christian movement of the Middle Atlantic states, addressed members. Ten representatives were sent by the group to the United Conference of the Student Volunteer Movement at Salem in October, while two members went to Philadelphia where they attended the Council meeting of the Student Christian Movement. Two members were elected to the Regional Council of this same movement, while nine students attended the Leadership Training Conference at Jackson ' s Mill. In cooperation with the Student Council, the Service Club sponsored a campaign for the World Student Service Fund, conducting a colorful campaign with special posters, a student assembly, and leaflets and pledges to be signed. The campaign surpassed its goal, reaching a total of $55 received in pledges and donations. Social activities are not forgotten by the club. A party, featuring folk dancing and games, was sponsored for college students at the Y, while a weiner roast was to be held in the spring. 60 Varsity Club Left to right: Bob Smith, Frank Kovatch, Raymond Legg, J.

Composed mainly of the varsity players of the football and basketball teams, the Varsity Club this year successfully completed its third year of existence, and gained prestige for itself and its members. Socially active, the club offered as its main event of the year, the dance held at the Charleston Boat Club at the close of the football season. The season was opened with a party at the Rumpus Room, at which a successful floor show was staged. Members of the group presented Coach Ward with a gold key chain and tie pin as a farewell gift when he left Morris Harvey for the Navy in the spring. Club members received subscriptions to a national athletic paper published during the football season. Main project of the club during the spring season was the initial cleaning up and upkeep of the South Ruffner campus. Members could be seen burning brush and hosing the campus building at different times during the college year. Varsity club keeps school spirit hep Alumni Association Noted for its sponsorship of several school dances, in absentia, the Alumni Association carried out an extensive and active program. Sponsoring an annual Alumni Day in the spring, the group attempts to pro- vide opportunity for renewing old friendships, and for- ward college progress and promotion with a banquet and a business meeting. At Homecoming the group sponsored a dance at the Kanawha Hotel to which active college students were invited as well as alumni. Cooperating with the Left Varsity Club, the association gave a dance after the football season was over. Membership in the group is divided into three groups: actives, or those who are graduated with a de- gree from Morris Harvey; associated, or those former students who have earned twelve semester hours in Morris Harvey; and honorary, or those who have re- ceived an honorary degree, been a member of the faculty, or whose contribution to or interest in Morris Harvey is deemed to be of special significance. to right: Pres Wilson, Olive Riggleman, Carl Radford.

Coming out in a new streamlined form, this year ' s tabloid size COMET was noted for its spicy editorials and newsy columns. Staging a scoop on the entire student body, the paper came out on April 1 this year with a four-column, yellow paper, the METEOR, filled with double-talk, jokes, and personal items. Second largest scoop was the COMET-sponsored Sadie Hawkin ' s Day party held at the Casa Loma, at which the year ' s largest party attendance was recorded, and girls got a taste of paying the bill. At Homecoming the COMET awarded a first prize of $10 to the most original float entered in the parade. Now in its nineteenth year as Morris Harvey ' s official student newspaper, the COMET is printed in tabloid size and is issued semi- monthly during the year. Approved as an advertising medium by the Charleston Retail Credit Association, the paper is a distributor of the Collegiate Digest and a member of the Associated Collegiate press. Staff members come from every class and every organization on the campus, and are appointed by the editor and business manager for their respective staffs. The COMET Executive Board, in turn, appoints the editorial and business heads of the paper at a meeting held in the spring. The Board is composed of representatives of the journalism and English departments, Student Council, senior class, and business manager of the college. 66 Bert Wolfe . . .

Two thousand five hundred fans sat in hot sunny weather to watch Jule Ward ' s protegees tally in the second period to repel what appeared revenge and tie the game 7-7. The M-H touchdown came with less than two minutes remaining in the first half. Poling received a Wesleyan punt on the 50 and returned to the Bobcat 34 and the visitors were penalized 5 yards for off sides. The Eagles then got two yards on a line play and Harry Seltzer ran 36 yards to pay dirt. Coming after Wesleyan ' s first period marker, the Red and Gold trailed 7-6 but Seltzer again came to the front and booted the extra point that spelled the difference between defeat and a tie. First downs were 6 each. Francis Turbert — Back Edgar Smith — Back Curley Turbert and Bromo Seltzer were heroes on September 27 when Morris Harvey defeated Salem 44-0. Seltzer took the first punt on his own 39 and drove 61 yards to score. Seltzer and Turbert taking turns carrying the ball, added another touch- down in the second period. The Tigers failed to gain and punted to the Eagles. Zinck grabbed the ball and raced 44 yards to the Salem 23. Ruby took the ball to the 16 and then a pass from Ruby to Zinck in the end zone was good for the score. Adams ' kick was no good. The Eagles scored again on the second play of the third period following Stec ' s interception of a pass on the 25. Adams scored on pass from Turbert. Seltzer scored the fifth touchdown on a line play from the 12. Nardi got the sixth from the 2 and Poling kicked the extra point. Giannakis returned a Salem punt to the visitors ' 30. Giannakis ' passing and Nardi ' s running placed the pigskin on the one yard line, from which Nardi scored. On October 4, followers of the Golden Eagles saw victory grabbed right out of their hands after they rallied to get ahead of Youngstown 7-6 in the last quarter and appeared to clinch the decision. After a steady rain the field was a sea of mud. The ball was hard to handle and fumbles were numerous. Youngstown took the lead midway in the first period when Tony Arello scampered 67 yards to score. The kick for the extra point failed. Turbert scored for the Eagles and Smith ' s near perfect placement gave the Wardmen the lead. Late in the last quarter two passes by the Penguins, one for 22, and another good for 29, led to the last score, which gave the Ohio team a 12-7 victory over the Eagles. M-H got as far as the 12 before the final whistle. Morris Harvey led in first downs 9-8.

Harry Seltzer had the hero ' s role as he roared across the Tech goal for three touchdowns, while Zinck struck pay dirt twice. Captain Bearcat Smith registered the sixth touchdown for Morris Harvey and kicked in with one point after by placement. Zinck accounted for three extra points, kicking two and taking a pass from Smith for another. Six M-H seniors played their final game: Captain Smith, Tubby Thacker, John Tebelak, Jerome Ruby, Ralph Poling and Art Johnson. Bert Wolfe, the Eagles ' popular student manager, also carried in his last water bottle as the Wardmen closed the books with their fifth victory against three defeats and one tie. Despite three defeats and a tie last year, Morris Harvey scored 235 points against their opponent ' s 77, chalked up 102 first downs against 58; outrushed their foes 3,013 to 1,410 yards, completed 72 of 146 passes for 639 yards against 591 yards for the opposition. Freddie Zinck and Harry Seltzer, wingback and fullback for the Red and Gold, finished the season holding down second and third places in the state scoring parade. Zinck ' s total of 69 points gave him fourth place among the nation ' s eastern high scorers while Seltzer with 56 points to his credit ranked tenth in the eastern section. Edgar Bearcat Smith, fullback and one of the six seniors on the squad, was elected honorary captain of the team for 1941-42 by his teammates on Friday night before the Detroit Tech game. During his four years at Morris Harvey, Bearcat has been one of the outstanding members of the team. A graduate of East Bank High School, he is a member of the Varsity Club, Phi Sigma Phi Fraternity, and has been listed in Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities for the past two years. Three Morris Harvey veterans — Tubby Thacker, Bromo Seltzer, and Sparky Adams, were selected on the United Press All-West Virginia football team in a poll conducted by coaches, writers, and officials. Thacker was also named on the New York Herald-Tribune ' s All-Eastern team picked by Stanley Woodward, nationally known sports reporter, and received honorable mention on Collier ' s Little All-American, consisting of outstanding players from the nation ' s smaller colleges.

The stage was used as the court with bleachers on the stage on one side and the open auditorium on the other. The Eagles left for their northern eight-game trip, facing Potomac State in their first encounter of the season on December 8, 1941. M-H finished on the long count, 42-34. Adams with 13 points, Starrett with 13, and Bicanic with 12, led the way for the Eagles. Farther north traveled the basketeers to meet seven of the top-ranking teams of the East. Loyola vanquished the Golden Eagles 56-31 on December 9. Adams and Starrett, with 9 points each, led the M-H scoring. Morris Harvey was behind from the start and could not overcome the big first quarter lead held by Loyola. December 10 found the Eagles in Philadelphia. Our boys were leading at the half, 18-15, only to have La Salle overcome this lead in the second half and go ahead to win, 39-27. Adams again led M-H with 1 1 points. Two nights later the Tommies of Scranton University furnished the opposition. For the second time on the trip the Eagles led at the half only to have the opposition come back in the second half to cop the victory. The score at the half: M-H, 22; Scranton, 18. Starrett, Adams, Boucher, and O ' Hara scored 11, 9, 8, and 6 points, respectively. Gene 0 ' H.« Seton Hall and December 13 didn ' t seem to mix so well for the Eagles. According to the Eagle players, Seton Hall was the best aggregation faced on the trip. The Pennsylvanians led all the way, and this lead was never threatened. Adams and Boucher tried to help the Eagles ' cause with ten and eight points, respectively. St. Francis, whom the Eagles rated practically in the same class with Seton Hall, furnished the opposition on the night of December 15, and ran over the Eagles in Brooklyn to the tune of 64-38. It seemed to be a habit by now that the first quarter was poison to the Eagles because they had been so slow getting started and had been trailing from the outset in practically every game. The same held true in this game, with the first quarter ending, 20-3. Starrett found the range for 12 points with Boucher helping with 8. That bad first quarter was still dominating the Golden Eagles when they locked horns with Clair Bee ' s Long Island University Blackbirds at the L. I. College of Pharmacy. The first quarter ended, 26-14, in favor of the Blackbirds. The Eagles then outscored the Blackbirds in each remaining frame only to lose by the final count of 62-54. The half ended 37-22, and the third quarter ended 50-38, and M-H outscored L. I. 16-12 in the final quarter. Our boys really put on a fine show for the New Yorkers, with Sparky Adams, Babe Starrett, and Butch Boucher dominating the play with 22, 14, and 11 points, respectively. Brooklyn received the Eagles on December 17 as the Brooklyn Y. M. C. A. nosed them out, 46-45. Brooklyn led at the half, 27-20. Then M-H put on an offensive as well as a defensive spurt to hold the Y. M. C. A. to four points while ringing up 13. Adams scored 13, Starrett 12, and Bicanic 7. The tired and weary Golden Eagles came back to Charleston to play the feature role in Joe Daher ' s first basketball clinic at the Municipal Auditorium on December 19. They were still sluggish from their long trip and they were in no condition to meet such opposition as a bunch of one-handed shooting jackrabbits from Southwestern College. Led by a lad by the name of Balke, the Southwestern cagers finished ahead, 57-47. Adams tried vainly to turn the tide while scoring 18 points with the much needed help supplied mainly by Boucher with 12 points. The basketball clinic was a great success, with the coaches of many of the leading Eastern basketball schools serving as lecturers. In an evenly fought game, the Gee Eagles finished on the short count in their engagement with the Generals from Washington and Lee, 40-39, on January 3, 1942. M-H led at the termination of the first quarter, 12-11. The score was tied at the half, 17-17. The end of the third quarter found W Cx L leading, 33-32. Morris Harvey scoring was divided mainly among four boys: Adams — 1 1; O ' Hara — 7; Starrett — 7; Boucher — 6. Our boys really played the ball that they were capable of playing all the time in their first encounter with Alderson-Broaddus on January 24. The A-B batters had just beaten Marshall the night before in Huntington, and the stage was set for M-H to pull an upset. The Eagles took the lead from the start and played inspired ball throughout. The score at the half found the Eagles sporting a 31-21 lead. Several times the Battlers came within range of the Eagles only to have the Eagles put on another spurt and leave them behind. The final score: M-H — 56; A-B — 44. M-H scoring was divided mainly among the following: Bicanic — 16, Adams — 14; Starrett — 12; Boucher — 10. Morris Harvey accepted a bid to play against the Morehead State Teachers College at Ashland, Kentucky, with the proceeds to go to the President ' s Infantile J?ode Seven, In a (lata 9t ' l a SfvosU Paralysis Fund. Marshall College was first offered the bid but declined. The Eagles furnished stiff competition for the Teachers but were nosed out in the last few seconds of play, 55-54. Bicanic sank a goal which was believed to have been made simultaneously with the toot of the whistle but which was ruled by the scorer and referee to ha ve been made after the whistle sounded. Adams again led the scoring with 23 points. Brooms Abramovic and the Salem Tigers came to Charleston to edge out the Eagles 56-51 on February 4. Brooms was off, garnering only 26 points. He averaged over 29 points per game during the 1941-42 season and his total for the season ran over 700 points. Set shots from the side gave Babe Starrett 17 points with Chip Bicanic tipping in 15. The score at the half was 27-16 in favor of Salem. In a high scoring game Davis and Elkins was taken into camp at Municipal Auditorium, 63-50. Howie Leitman, a mid-year freshman who hails from a Long Island, N. Y., high school, led the team in his debut with 16 points. Bicanic helped the cause with 13. The score at the half: M-H — 32; D E — 22. A game that was featured by fis ticuffs, both on the part of the players and the spectators, was the next attraction at Municipal Auditorium when the Pioneers from Glenville journeyed to Charleston on February 13. The game was nip and tuck with only a few points separating the teams up until the time of the fisticuffs — with a little over three minutes to play the Pioneers were leading the Golden Eagles by two points. Then Butch Boucher and Rodriguez scrambled over the ball under our basket. The spectators, sensing a fight under such tense condi- tions, swarmed upon the floor and the spectators and players for both teams started swinging. The melee was quieted down in about ten minutes. This seemed to unnerve the Eagles because they didn ' t seem to be in the game after that and Glenville had a commanding lead at the end of the game, 58-40. Bicanic garnered 14 points. Bicanic, O ' Hara, and Starrett scored 13, 12, and 1 1 points, respectively, to lead the Eagles in victory over Fairmont at Municipal Auditorium, 60-52, on February 18. The score at the half: M-H — 25; Fairmont — 22. Coach Daher used ten men in this game and every one of them scored. Boucher got 5, Gian- nakis 6, Gleasner 4, Wolfe 3, Smith 2, Hanley 2, Leitman 2. The next game, February 20, was played on the small Charleston Catholic high school floor. The gym had fan-shaped baskets, something new to the Eagles, but something which was very familiar to Concord since their gym at Athens was outfitted with them. Concord dominated the whole game with the exception of the third quarter when the Eagles outscored them 15-11. Concord led at the half, 30-19. Bicanic and Boucher had 15 and 10 points, respectively, for M-H. February 23 — The close score of the first game with Bluefield during the season was forgotten by the Eagles in their second meeting when M-H swamped them, 69-39. Starrett got hot with 15 points while Leitman got 14. Morris Harvey led from the outset to the finish. February 26 and Elkins was the scene of the Eagles ' second game with D Gr E and they flew high before the D E home folks, bringing home the bacon, 53-43. Bicanic scored 9 field goals and 6 out of 7 free throws to total 24 points, his largest aggregate for any game of the season. Leitman helped with 14. Alderson-Broaddus, with big Earl Wilmoth leading the way with 28 points, defeated the Eagles at Philippi on February 27 to even the score between the Ferg Giannakis Altizer r lUeA r ' i AluuufA ' two teams for the season. The final score was 52-39. Scarl ett O ' Hara ' s 1 1 and Bicanic ' s 10 points kept the Eagles in the game but they did not have enough support from their mates. Score at half: M-H — 12; A-B — 30. Holding Brooms Abramovic to 20 points proved to be one of the deciding factors in victory for the Eagles in their defeat of Salem at Salem in their second meeting of the season, February 28. Morris Harvey ran up its largest point total of the season to overwhelm Davis and Elkins at Ravenswood in their second meeting of the year. The final score: M-H — 80; D Or E — 58. Bicanic got 16 points, Starrett 12. Gleasner 11, Smith and Leitman 9 each, and O ' Hara and Boucher 7 each. Score at half M-H— 40; DOrE— 20. On March 7 West Virginia Wesleyan was the next foe to suffer at the nands of the point-hungry Golden Eagles. Sporting one of his best combines that he had ever developed, Cebe Ross and his Bobcats came to Charleston to reap victory but left with a rousing 73-55 defeat. This game lives in the memories of those who saw it as the best performance ever put on by a Morris Harvey team. Many predicted that the Eagles could have beaten any team in the state that night (remember W. V. U. in the national tournament). Every M-H Eagle player performed superbly with Starrett, Bicanic, Leitman, O ' Hara, and Boucher scoring 18, 16, 15, 10, and 9 points respectively. At Buckhannon, March 10, Wesleyan was met in the next game and the tables were exactly reversed. This time the Bobcats came out on the long end of the count, 65-50. Hank Ellis and Frankie Feola proved to be too much for the Eagles while collecting 18 and 16 points, respectively. Bicanic and Starrett again led M-H, scoring with 16 and 15 points, respectively. A boy by the name of Spencer gathered 26 points for Glenville on March 1 1 in the Eagles ' second game with them and the other Pioneers added enough points to give them the victory, 68-49. The Eagles led at the half-way point, 31-29, but blew this lead in the third quarter when Glenville tallied 21 points to M-H ' s 1 1. Bicanic with 12, and Starrett with 1 1, again led the Eagle scoring. The last game of the season on March 17, found the Eagles facing West Virginia Wesleyan in the first round of the state collegiate tournament at Buck- hannon. The Golden Eagles were badly outscored in every quarter and were eliminated from the tournament, 74-45. Starrett and Gleasner tried to keep the Eagles in the game with their 13 and 1 1 points, respectively, but to no avail. Mike Chip Bicanic, the Tech flash from Hammond, Indiana, finished the 1941-42 basketball season with a total of 320 points to lead the Golden Eagles ' scoring. Mike ' s average per game was slightly over 9.5 points. Babe Starrett garnered 302 points to finish a close second. His highest number of points was scored against West Virginia Wesleyan at Municipal Audi- torium when he tallied 18. Babe scored in all 34 games played by Golden Eagles, his average being slightly over 8.9 points per game. Verlin Sparky Adams, declared ineligible at the end of the first semester because of scholastic difficulties, finished third in scoring with 208 points, although playing in only the first 16 games on the schedule. Adams had the best average of any of the Golden Eagles, an even total of 1 3 points per game.

Young eyes, and old, need light that is glare-free, shadowless, easy to see by. Studying and reading are made easier. The eyestrain that often causes permanent impairment of vision is eliminated. And good home lighting costs so little! Scientifically designed floor and desk lamps as well as attractive and efficient wall and ceiling fixtures are not expensive. Bulbs and current both cost less today than ever before. So start your own Defense Program right at home. Give your eyes the protection of good lighting but remember Light is a part of the Victory Program— Don ' t waste it.

' pip 1 SA1MITON E I SA IIO E MIGHTY MONARCHS OF CIVILIZATION The average person seldom thinks of the vital relationship between our Sch(H)l System and a Gas Company . In reality , natural gas is one of Education ' s staunchest pillars , especially in West Virginia . Of the hundreds of thousands of dollars spent annually by Gas Com- panies for improvements , expansion , taxes , rentals , pay rolls , e c., a major portion goes toward education of the youth of the state . so the Schools and the men in the Gas fields both are con- tributing generously to the progress of the State. Both are Mighty Monarchs of Civilization. United Fuel Gas Co.
