Social Events THE opening social event of the year 1925-1926 was a Get-Acquainted Party, given by the Epworth League, Saturday evening, September 4, 1925. This was a jolly, informal entertainment which put the blues and homesickness to flight, and made us feel at home. The four Literary Societies soon gave their annual receptions in honor of the new students. The Cliosophic-Euterpean reception was given in the lobby of Skinner Hall Saturday evening, September 12, 1925. The decoration of the hall added much to the party, maroon and white being used, with golden rod and autumn leaves arranged artistically about the room. On Saturday evening, September 17, 1925, the Delphian- Mnemosynean Literary Societies gave their annual reception. The entrance was dec- orated to represent a garden. The Mnemosynean colors, green and white, were car- ried out here by the use of trees, flowers, and Japanese lanterns. The guests all spent a gay evening in the lobby, where the Delphian colors, purple and white, were used as decorations. The long winter months were enlivened by many social events. An ice cream supper, a carnival, a number of parties given in honor of visiting athletic teams, a Japanese tea, a Valentine party given by members of the Stanley-Rowan County Club, a box supper for the Pep, and a St. Patrick ' s Day social, were among the parties that the jolly Weaver students enjoyed. The crowning event of the year was the Junior-Senior banquet, given at the Bat- tery Park Hotel, February 22, 1926. This event will always be remembered with a thrill of pleasure. In spite of the eager excitement and the joy of these special occasions, there are many young men and women who believe that the greatest institution of Weaver College is the Sunday School Hour, enjoyed by any who have managed to walk in the exceedingly narrow path of duty during the week. Thus is our work and study so leavened by fun and frolic that there are few dull days or tedious hours at Old Weaver. Mary Helen Howard.

Through the channel of prayer the infinite re- sources of heavenly love flow into empty human souls, converting them into a spring of sparkling, crystal water, a living source of life. Each week the students of Weaver College come together in a silent, reverent, earnest body to renew their religious strength, develop their souls, and feast on the bounteous love of God.

The Epworth League, a nation-wide organization, is one of her most efficient tools. The work of the League is carried on largely by the student body, and is truly wide-awake, the Sunday evening services being especially attractive with their varied programs. The College League is well represented at the monthly District Union Meetings and at the Annual Epworth League Conferences. The well attended prayer meeting services and the morning-watch, a worship service conducted before breakfast, are both under the supervision of the League. The College has her own Sunday School, with a staff of officers elected from the student body. This offers a wonderful opportunity for service, as new officers are installed every quarter. The Young Men ' s Christian Association, working at Skinner Hall, proved itself a helpful and efficient organization. There are two other organizations offering oppor- tunities for service. These are the Christian Workers ' Team and Life Service Band, both for students interested in Christian work. A small yet important service which makes a wonderful impression on Weaver students is Family Prayer, conducted immediately after the evening meal. Silence reigns throughout the dining hall during the few minutes ' worship. The annual revival services, conducted just before Christmas, are a wonderful help to students, as during the time neglected pledges are revived or lives are newly offered to the Master. The student body of Weaver is composed largely of young men and young women who are striving earnestly and eagerly towards a high and worthy ideal, who realize the difficulties and complexities of modern life, but are convinced that Christian principles will solve the vexing problems and difficulties by which they are today confronted.

It is a pol- icy of fairness, of true sportsmanship, of athletic rectitude. Weaver holds that athletics promote a moral training not less valuable than the physical development offered. Al- ways athletics should build a reverence for the right, a love for what is fair. Weaver has sought to teach this, and the college has ever hoped to see such a love and reverence demonstrated by the men on the field. Weaver believes that It isn ' t so much whether you won or lost that counts, but how you played the game. Tage Ninety-eight Tmi ? ' £ . - .

Lyda ia noted for line plunging all over our playing radius. Alvan Dean. Half Back This Georgian, with his pluck and grit and several years of experience, was a welcomed addition to our grid machine of ' 26. He stayed put. never gave in nor tired. His love of the sport drove him on. He was dependable and sure. Beautiful punting was his spe- cialty. Davis Tuttle, Half Back This knight of the gridiron hails from Lenoir, a foot- ball town. He was promoted from tackle to half back and filled his position like a veteran. Daring, silent, and sturdy characerizes this reliable player. Tut, the man for an end run. Guy Hayes, Half Back A late start at the beginning of the training period did not prevent this fast little Rat from making his position and holding his own during many scram- bles, against odds, for the pig-skin. Rat was a fleet-footed, cool-headed player under any and all conditions. Page One Hundred Two , ,,. ti|i, -■ l iiilM Sidney Croy, Center The third year this son of the Southland comes back to fight for Weaver in the center position, pouring out his whole soul in iron steadfastness and bull- doggedness for his Alma Mater. Croy is gummy, sticky, and dependable ; slow, but ever sure. Accurate passing from center was his goal. Ray Carpenter, Left Guard This brave son of the Old North State plays his third and last year for Old Weaver. He is a fellow with considerable physical strength and endurance, full of pep, the spice of football. He is a hard, clean fighter, and always on the alert. On Thanksgiving Day, ' 25. he starred in his position as left guard, and at all times was a man equal to the task. Vernie Bartlett, Right Tackle Coming from Reems Creek, this rugged mountaineer excels in power of body and in qualities of mind. Fats was a cultured gentleman, and a mainstay with us. He has weight, drive, and speed — an excel- lent combination for a tackle. When his cleats slugged the ground, something had to move. His wild cattishness played its part. Carlyle Jordan, Right End This fellow has the football fever and a good knowl- edge of the game. He made Weaver an end worthy of the name. He never failed, unless he was playing Cullowhee. It thrills the grid fan ' s heart to see the pigskin sail into his sure clutches. Glenn Kennerly, Left Tackle Ken, you are quite the stuff and played football well, although you are pretty. From a greenhorn in the football world Ken became quite a profes- sional before the season of ' 25 was over. We are looking for great things from you next year. McAvoy Brittain Mac was a snatch team to us. When some one slowed up, Mac came in with plenty of ginger ; this was spice to us, too. Although Hop was not always sweet to Daddy, he took it like a man. Did it do you good, Bo? Next year will tell. Mark Prigdex, Right Guard When things looked serious ; when the wind blew wrong ; when Weaver stood still ; then it was that Munk ' s cherry Dad-burn it I helped us on. With you. Munk, the Mars Hill Thanksgiving game would have been ours. This was a trick of Fate. What about the Thanksgiving game of ' 26? Sherrod Tuttle To Sherrod Tuttle, whose picture we do not have. But this promising son of Weaver took his bad luck like a teal man. He bore his pain, suffered the consequences, and still wears his smile. It has been we, the rest of the team, who have missed you most. Tut. This getting your knee fractured was another trick of Fate. Who knows but what it was for the best ? Best wishes, Bud I Page One Hundred Four -— - aili .. R Summary of Football Season The football season opened September 25, school having begun September 4. The delay in getting to practice was due to a water shortage, which was a great hindrance to the development of a football machine for Old Weaver. September 24, Coach Houston Arbogast sent out a call for candidates. Among those reporting were Lyda, captain; Croy, center; Carpenter, guard; and Hampton, end ; the only letter men available. Among the new men reporting were Davis Tuttle, Sherrod Tuttle, Dean, Pridgen, Hart, Brittain, Weaver, Woolley, Bartlett, A. Felipe, Jordan, Greene, R. Hunnicutt. Teague, and T. Huneycutt. A second call was made, and the following responded : Love, Wilson, Cox, Moss, Summey, Burgin, and Wolfe. The first game of the season was played October 3, on Dunham Field, with the powerful Farm School eleven. The Blue Giants fought hard against odds during the first half, but the weight and training of the Farm School Aggies won for them a score of 25-7. The next game was also played on the home field, Mars Hill meeting Weaver on the following Saturday. Football fans had estimated an overwhelming victory for the Baptists, since the Methodists were defeated by Farm School. This game was a revela- tion of the Old Weaver spirit, which invariably means hard and clean football. The battle raged fiercely on both sides, neither scoring in the first half; however, the Weaver men outplayed the Baptists, the ball remaining most of the time in their territory. The breaks went against the Methodists, and the score announced by the referee was a tie — 6-6. Weaver men journeyed to Maryville, Tennessee, October 17 to face the great Maryville aggregation. Here the Methodists met with a hard proposition, Maryville men being heavy and entirely out of the Weaver class. The first half of the game was played by the Weaver varsity, who held the Presbyterians to a score of 25-0, which demonstrated to the Tennesseians that Weaver had been upon the field fighting. The second half was played by the Weaver scrubs, who longed for a taste of real football ; and when the half had ended, the score then stood 84-0. One week later, Wingate College met Weaver on Dunham Field. Last year Weaver went to Wingate and defeated her by a small margin of one point. Here was an old enemy out for revenge, and Weaver put forth every effort to win a second victory, while Wingate used every available ounce of strength to even up. The Weaver line stood firm and Wingate suffered a great many more penalties than did Weaver; yet they succeeded in pushing over two touchdowns, which was enough to win for the visitors the game. Score: 13-6. October 13, Weaver again journeyed to Tennessee, this time to meet Tusculum, another large college. The Blue Giants were well aware of the situation and were determined to give the Tusculum boys a hot battle. The entire Weaver team played hard and clean, laboring under difficult conditions; they played in a field of mud; bucking and holding a heavy line under such conditions was too much for the Weaver boys, and the score announced was 25-0. Rutherford College came to Weaver November 11. Weaver soon found the Rutherford boys an easy bunch, game and well trained, but lacking in football experi- ence. The backfield was on the alert and Dean punted well. End runs and forward passes worked well, and Weaver had but little trouble in walking away with an 18-0 victory. Page One Hundred Five Cullowhee was the next team to fall before the sturdy Weaverites, November 18, and was played at Cullowhee. Again, Weaver had to meet a hard-fighting little team, yet one inexperienced in football, whose physical strength was somewhat weaker than Weaver ' s; hence, the Methodists had no great task in running up a score of 28-6. The last game of the season came on Thanksgiving Day; for the first time this, the greatest game of the year, was played on the Mars Hill field. Weaver ' s successes, measured by scores, had been almost uniformly lower than Mars Hill scores where both teams had met the same opponents. The Weaver spirit revealed itself from the first kick-off, when a Mars Hill man received the ball while Kennerly and Hampton cut him down before he could gain an inch. This game was an exhibition of real football by both teams. Captain Lyda, playing his last game of football for Old Weaver, starred as perhaps he had never done before, carrying the ball through the heavy defense of the Baptists and managing his team so as successfully to compete against the difficulties brought about by a continual downpour of rain. Another star for Weaver that day was Carpenter, who plunged through the Baptist line and got his man, throwing the Hill for a loss in almost every play. Dean, as always, never failed to do good punting. During the second half, Hays, the dauntless Black and Gold halfback, was injured and was unable to enter the game again. The advantages of the remaining part of the game were slightly with the heavier Mars Hill team; and soon they succeeded in making an end run for a touchdown, but failed to kick a goal. The Methodists were determined to hold them from a further score, and the game closed with a defeat of 6-0. For the first time in the history of the contests between the two colleges Weaver was defeated on Thanksgiving Day. The close of the season came on Thursday evening, December 10, when the annual banquet was held at West ' s Cafe in a most generous style. Coach Houston Arbogast was unable to be present; but he was not forgotten, because Weaver men are always ready to give him great credit as a coach of remarkable ability. The entire squad ex- pressed its hope that he would be back to coach the grid machine of ' 26. At the close of the banquet, Mr. Sidney Croy was elected captain of the team of 1926. Roy Blackwelder.

Carmichael ?= WEAVERVILLE THE last decade has witnessed an interesting development in American Home Life — a resurgent movement from the city to the suburban dis- trict and small towns. The automobile has been, perhaps, the chief influence in producing ' this exodus from town, for by means of it the business man of even moderate income has been able to exchange the close uarter of a city house or apartment for a suburban or country home, with a cool veranda, grassy lawn for the children to play upon, and perhaps a bit of garden in which he can exploit his own ideas as to the raising of beans and cabbgea. A number of such homes are to be found in Weaverville. Their charm is evident at the first glance, and a second reveals the fact that they are equipped with every modern convenience — water, sewerage, electric lights, and telephone.
