The memories of the past two years are indelibly translfixed in our minds and hearts. VVe need no constant jogging to keep the friends and activities ot our days here ever with us. but we do want to cling to every tangible evidence of happiness that we have experi- enced during these two splendid years together: therefore, it is with this thought in mind that we, the staff of the Camnzoznzz, present the second volume. eknawlerlgriients Wfe wish to express our deepest gratitude to Dr. Living- ston H. Chambers tor the time and erliort he has so will- ingly given to the staff of The Crzmnzoznzz in the preparation ot this volume. VVe wish also to thank Dr. Elizabeth A. Atwater for her valuable assistance olTered in the make-up of the book. To Mr. W. D. Anthony for printing the sub- scription cards when the book began to materialize, we acknowledge our indebtedness.

The stall., guided by the helpful suggestions of Dr. Chambers, has worked untiringly to produce a pictorial record of this year's happen- ings. Its goal has been to produce a book that will be a source ot pleasant reminiscences in the years ahead. It The Cam- uzozfnf is a bond that binds each student and faculty member a little more closely to Potomac State, it has iustihed all of the work and sacrifice involved in its production. VVe congratulate the stall upon its faithfulness, and hope that the reception of The CLlfL717ZOIll1Z will adequately repay for the time and cilort so willingly spent.

The organization was for several years the Epsilon Chapter of Sigma Iota Chi, a national junior college sorority. At the present time it is local. The purpose of the organization is to draw a group of congenial girls together by bonds slightly closer and more binding than those of ordinary friendship. It aims to carry on true sisterhood by having the members forget themselves as individuals and to be mindful and considerate of others. It teaches the highest standards of morality and men- tality. Its members try to attain that perfection of character which typilfies perfect woman- hood. Goodwill is the monarch of the sorority, Cordiality the familiar language, and Comradeship the dominant law. The members are instructed in tolerance, amiability, kindness, and fraternal love for their associates. By these ideals, Sigma strives not only for a better sorority, but for a better college. Sigma tries to be the true college sorority- the University of Friendship, the College of Sisterly Love, the School for the Better Making of the Woiiiaii, the Garden of Dreams, and the Treasury of Good Fellowship. Its colors are gold and purple: its Hower, the pur- ple violet. This year, Sigma Epsilon Chi with its brother organization, the Phi Sigma Nu frater- nity, sponsored two dances: the ulingle Bell Hopw and the 'Shamrock Shag, Each year, the sorority sponsors a farewell breakfast for its graduating members. Slumber parties and various other gatherings are held throughout the year.

Each member of the original seven constitutes a characteristic of symbolic fraternalism. Ronald Woodyard drew up the constitution, and to him much of the in- spiration and guidance of the organization is due. The fraternity is a very active school organization, conducting its activities with the aim of supporting a more wholesome social program for the enjoyment of the student body. The Thetas and the Eta Upsilon Gamma sorority jointly sponsored the first dance of the yearg and in April, the Thetas presented their annual Spring Formal. Both dances were highly commended by those who attended. In the course of the year, the fraternity has sponsored numerous skating parties, a bingo party, benefit shows, and conducted an election to determine Potomac State's Miss Catamount who was presented at the Home- coming Dance. Miss Betty Heltzel was the students' choice. This election is to be an an- nual affair. The character of the boys composing the Thetas is commendable, as is shown by scholarship and regard of the student body. The Dean's Scholarship Cup, awarded for the highest rank in scholarship, has been won three consecutive times, and by virtue of this, it is now the permanent possession of the fraternity. The fact that five of the seven gentlemen escorts elected to the May Court are either Thetas or Theta pledges, gives evidence of the esteem felt by the student body for the members of the fraternity. Several members of the Theta Sigma Chi hold various offices on the campus. Among the oflices held are president of the Student Council, president of the Sophomore Class, four seats on the Student Council, three members on the Social Committee, and two on the Pasquino StaFf. They play an active part in all school affairs. lnvested with high ideals and an emphasis on good character, the Theta Sigma Chi fraternity, year after year, has produced the leaders on Potomac State's Campus, and has won for itself a place of high regard and veneration Robert Denton Warren Hull Eugene Hartman VVarren Poague Ben Hiner Iohn Hiner MEMBERS Rector Wright lack Tabscott Burke Thrasher Everett Tysinger VVilliam Keller YVilliam Rohman Charles Maier Bernard Kolkhorst Iames Scott David Loughrie Ioe White Daniel Fittro Norman Wallace '51 U Q!! fi NW as 'N , mfg . , Y ly , 5 : g g , K ' 4 f X X 4 'Y7I- 1 is - .X , , if YM, 11--Y N X wax wiv , Y 'f ix Phi L 19,1118 OFFICERS PI'C.fl'!Z7t! 77l' - - - DAVID YOHO Vice-Pres1'rz'enz BILL COLEhI.XN Secretary - LELINNIs ROBINSON Trem'zzrer HAROLD DEI-IAVEN H1i5f0l'lit7lZ DONALD SWECKER Chrzpluizz IOHN AYLOIQ Sergeant MCCLURE CARNEY Sponsor E. CARL SHREVE The Phi Sigma Nu fraternity was originally known on the campus as the lxappa Kappag however, the latter group was disbanded, and the organization continued under its present name. Last year. the fraternity was very active in school affairs. Their activities constituted parties, dances, and other social functions, chief among them being the Hlingle Bell Hop and the Shamrock Shag, both given in collaboration with the Sigma Epsilon Chi soror- ity. The revival of the traditional Kappa Kappa Kab-Hoo-Ray party was one of the highlights of the year. The fraternity demands certain standards: excellence in class room records and scholar- ship rivalryg insists on proper college spirit and chapter pride: expects a hne regard for the best social observancesg paves the way for the organization as a whole to be highly respected by student body and facultyg makes a most valuable assistant in all reforms, experiments, or enterprises that the school administration may wish to undertake, trains its members for organized effort, for lofty aims and conservation of forceg and supple- ments the college in its prepararation for the serious work of life. The Phi Sigma Nu holds that a fraternity is a BROTHERHOOD. This implies that the basis of union existing among its members is a close tie which can bind men to one another. Phi Sigma Nu teaches that friendship should extend BEYOND the chapter and that its members should be friends to every worthy student, though this does not preclude a member from making his most intimate friendships with the fraternity of his choice. The Phi Sigma Nu man does not cut himself oil' from other classmates or be one bit less friendly toward others on the campus because he does not live under the same frater- nity roof with them. lohn Aylor Tom Bickel MacClure Carney Bill Coleman Bill Engle MEMBERS Harold Del-Iaven Louis Helm lack Horner Haven Iackson Basil Martin Edison Noland Luennis Robinson Cecil Stemple Francis Spoerlein David Yoho Ilan-Hollenic Thc Pun-Hcllcnic Council is coinposccl ol' Iwo rcprcsciitntivcs from the four Crnelx lcttcr societies.

NUZVM ln IQ23, the year following the granting of our charter as a junior college, some members of the faculty, desiring to recognize scholarship and outstanding campus ability, organized Sigma Phi Omega. The aims of the organization, as set forth in the constitu- tion, are to promote a close relationship between the faculty and those students who distinguish themselves in scholarship and leadership, and to promote, by every laudable means, the interests of Potomac State School. Although its membership is limited by high eligibility standards, Sigma Phi Omega is not inactive. This year it has successfully sponsored a movie at a local theatre and a party for student and faculty members and their guests. Another project planned by the organization is a Recognition Program to be presented at a College Convention in May, at which time the new members of Sigma Phi Omega chosen by the faculty will be made known to the student body. A formal dinner sponsored jointly by active members and the faculty will close the year, on which occasion an outstanding personality in the cultural field will be brought to the campus.

ATWATER REPORTING STAFF TDELNIAR BL'RNs AND IAMES KELLEY The Potomac State Pafquifzo, published fortnightly, entered its twenty-First year of publication last fall under the supervision of the class in journalism. As a member of the West Virginia Intercollegiate Press Association, its policies strictly adhered to the creed of that organization, and its endeavors Were to give public expression to the best interests of the school and the student body. Printing of the Pasqzmzo was done by the Mineral Daily-News Tribune, and the students exercised a liberal judgment in the Work. They often referred to the procedure as 'cputting the paper to bed and to themselves as 'lovvlsfa for many times it was midnight before the publication would come off the press. DR.

From the group, a staif was organized and duties were assigned to each of the members. Immediately following, a subscription drive was launched and by the beginning of the Christmas holidays enough persons had subscribed to insure the publication of the yearbook. Through the cooperation of the faculty, students, organizations and business men this second volume of The Cumnzozmt was made possible, 1? ,, 9 wi. Pl As the oldest cultural organization on the campus, having been organized first in IQIQ, the Potomac State Players initiated their activity this year when they gave a creditable performance of Bradford Iennings' Remember the Dawn in assembly immediately preceding the Thanksgiving Holidays. The play centered around the tactics of a news- paper owner who was using his influence of the press to stir up war until vivid memory took him back to the scene of the World VVar when he had sworn to become an advocate of peace. The club's next performance was a one-act comedy entitled Swept Clean OH Her Feet. Moving along at a rapid pace and with a breezy dialogue, the story concerned two young college lads who attempted to gain entrance to the home and affections of a charming young woman by posing as carpet sweeper salesmen. This production was repeated with much approval before local audiences. May Day featured an adaptation of the story of Alice in Wonderland under the direction of Dr. Elizabeth A. Atwater with the assistance of the Potomac Singers and of dancers from the Women's Athletic Association. As a climax to the organizations activities, the players presented during commence- ment week, three productions: Too Many Sweethearts, a comedyg Seven Strangersf a psychological mysteryg and 'gCassandra, a drama. 1 Members of the organization include: Dewey Hawkins lack D.

Every opponent the Loughmen encountered was a representative of a four year senior college, and on every occasion, the Cats displayed their line sense of sports- manship, college spirit, and ability. Many interesting games were played. The opening contest betwen Waynesburg and Potomac State, which proved to be a close and interesting atjrair, was outstanding. Per- haps the biggest single incident of the season was Bill Halley's kickoll return for a touchdown against the highly-rated West Virginia University Freshman team which played the State team to a 14-14 draw. This game was accredited as being the most thrilling game played in the University stadium last fall. Coach Dana Horse Lough should be given much credit for the creditable showing that his team made against such odds. Captain Glenn Toothman proved to be a worthy leader and a line team player. Art Garlathy was the Catamount's outstanding freshman of the year, and Bill Halley came through as outstanding backlield threat. Sophomores who will be missing next fall include Ayersman, Fittro, Gillooly, Hughes, Hawkins, Harmon, Halley, Iones, lioral, Poague, SKLIITOFLT, Toothman, and Yost.
