LAKIN (3lameg . f.nkin ' AMES S. LAKIN, tlie eldest sou of Rev. Calvin H. and Catherine Jj Finney Lakin. was born at Monndsville, W. Va., on March 1, 1864. M He is descended from Aliraham Lakin (bora in 1713 and died in 1796) who received from King- George of England title deeds foi ' a tract of land, in Frederick County, Maryland, which passed from father to son through many generations, and is still in the Lakin name, being now the homestead of William Gerry Lakin. His great-great grandfather (a son of Abraham) was Benjamin Lakin — born in 1738, married in 1760 to Rebecca Fee, and died in 1776. His great grandfather, Thomas, an itinerant IMethodist preacher, was born in Montgomery County, Maryland, in 1763, married to Priscilla Sullivan in 1782, settled later in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, and died near Freeport (Harrison County) Ohio in 1834. His grandfather William, was born at Cumberland, Maryland, in 1791, and died near Freei)0] ' t, Ohio, in 1855. His father. Rev. Calvin H. Lakin, was bom near Freeport on June 29, 1838, married Catherine Finney (of Tuscarwas Covmty, Ohio) on Mari-h 26, 1863, and retired after a half cen- tury of active service as a minister in the AVest Virginia and Iowa conferences of the Methodist Episcopal church, including service as pr siding elder of the Oakland and Huntington districts, and now resides in Huntington, W. Va. It was in many ways of great advantage to James S. that he was the son (the eldest son) of a West Virginia itinerant minister. From the strenuous life of the father with the meager support afl ' orded by many of the churches he served, the son learned the habits of industry, thrift and economy which are of inestimable value. He obtained his education in the common schools of West Virginia, in the Fairmont State Normal School and in the Ohio W esleyan LTniversity, Delaware, Ohio. At Ohio Wesleyan, he met a young lady student, Lura Oliva Lakin (daughter of George W. Lakin of C ' olumbus, Ohio) who became his wife on November 14, 1889, and who he later discovered was a distant relative. To them three chihlrcu ha -e been born — James Offutt, .Marion Elizabeth, and Florence Catherine. In September 1889, Mr. Lakin became the partner of D. E. Ot¥utt of Oak- laud, Md. in a mercantile business carried on at Teri ' a Alta, W. Va., under the firm name of Oti ' ut and Lakin. He had full charge of the business until 1909, when he gave up his work to eutei ' ui)on his duties as member of the State Board of Control, and Was succeeded by his brother Finne.y L. Lakin as man- ager. The business was successful from the beginning and is now conducted in a substantial three story brick building. From a strictly mercantile busi- ness at the beginning, the firm soon branched out into business in coal, timber. and other lines, and now owns large acreages of timber land in AVest Virginia, Virginia and Arkansas. In connectidii itli his business success Mr. Lakin naturally became interested in ))at k-ing. lb- w.is elected President of the First National Bank of Terra Alta and also became one of the Directors of the Terra AH a Bank. He has always shown a lively interest in political and public affairs and was for a number of years a member of the Republican executive committee of Preston County. In 1900 he was appointed by Gov. A. B. White to act as director of the West Virginia Asylum at Huntington, and in 1904 was re- appointed by Gov. W. M. 0. Daw.son. In 1905 he was the Republican candi- date for Congress in the Second Congressional District of AVest Virginia to succeed Hon. A. G. Dayton, who had been appointed to a federal judgeship. In this campaign he was defeated by a small majority by Colonel Thomas B. Davis of Keyser, AV. AT ' a., a brother of Hon. Henry G. Davis. In 1909, he was appointed by Gov. AV. E. Glasscock to serve as one of the tliree members of the newly-created State Board of Conti ' ol to liave charge of the business and financial side of all state institutions. His associates were John A. Sheppard, a prominent attorney, now of Tluntington, W. Va., and Thomas E. Hodges, now President of the University. By them he was elected President of the Board ; in this position he has shown remarkable ability as an organizer and his service has been continuous excepting a brief leave of ab- sence during the political campaign of 1912 during which he served as chair- man of the Republican state executive committee. In 1918 Governor II. D. Hatfield appointed him a member of the new Public Service Commission of which he was elected Chairman. Subsequently it was held that he was ineligible to this position because of a provision in the law governing the State Board of Control. He was thereupon restored by the Governor to membership upon the State Board of Control and re-elected President. Mr. Lakin is a 32nd degree Mason, Knight Templar, and Shriner. and also holds membership in the Knights of Pythias. He is a hard worker and an apostle of the strenuous life and a believer in all things that count for the public good. The class of 1915 is proud to dedicate to him its number of the Monticola. ®o all tuljo ha c at Ijcart the bestre far a greater anb better JHest Virginia 33itt crstty, greetings.

THOMAS EDWARD HODGES A man big in body, mind and soul, lie is recognized by the students as one of the boys . West Virginia may well be proud that she has a native son capable of filling the important position of President of the State University. Through his strong per- sonality and his executive ability West Vir- ginia University has entered upon a growth which will soon place her among the lead- ing educational institutions of the country. DR. ALEXANDER REID WHITEHILL Dr. Whitehill is one of the oldest mem- bers of the faculty in point of service and one of the best liked by the students. Through his untiring efforts and his thorough knowledge of his subject he has done much to make the Chemistry depart- ment one of the strongest in the University. PROF. EDWIN F. CHURCH Jr. The College of Engineering is fortunate in having upon its staff of instructors a man of the caliber of Professor Church. He has been instrumental in raising the College to its present high standard of ef- ficiency. He is an untiring worker and en- deavors to instil his industry into those under him. DR. JAMES MORTON CALLAHAN West Virginia University is fortunate in having at tlie liead of lier liistory depart- ment a man who is a master of fiis subject. Dr. Callahan has an enviable reputation as an author and a lecturer. Thoroughness is the keynote of his work. An enthusiast in his subject, he has proven a source of in- spiration and encouragement to ambitious students. PROF. W. H. ALDERMAN Under the careful supervision of Profes- sor Alderman the department of Horticul- ture has grown from its small beginning with one instructor to its present efficient force of five members. It is largely due to his efforts that the department of Hor ti- culture is now doing its large and useful work throughout the state. DR. .JOHN L. SHELDON In Dr. Sheldon West Virginia has a man whose reputation as a Botanist is interna- tional. Dr. Sheldon is not only a master of his subject but is also a teacher of great ability. He wins the good will of all who have work under him. DEAN J. N. SIMPSON Under the careful treatment of Dr. Simp- son the Medical School has been restored to life, and has now entered a normal and healthy growth. We feel safe to predict that within a few years, under the super- vision of such a leader, the Medical School of West Virginia University will compare favorably with the best institutions of its kind in the country. PROF. JOHN HARRINGTON COX Any student who has taken work to Prof- essor Cox cannot but have felt the touch of a true scholar. It can truthfully be said that he has no place in his class for bluf- fers and loafers . To the willing and conscientious student he is a warm friend. It is men of his type that give real strength to our faculty. DEAN HENRY CRAIG JONES After very great deliberation Dean Jones was elected as the one man with sufficient ability and proper ideals to insure for the College of Law the continued good reputa- tion it has gained in former years. During his one or two short visits here he has created a good impression with the stu- dents and the members of the faculty. The College of Law is to be congratulated in having secured a Dean combining so many promising qualities. !iii? Senior Officers President H. C. BROWN Vice-President I. O. ASH Treasurer C. R.

ETHEL CASTO Ethel loves to argue, so oft we have been told; She chases ' way all proverbs with an ex- planation bold. The Library is a favorite haunt for this independent miss, And the question upmost in our minds — Does her knowledge come from this? E. M. FREUDENBERGER Sweet is the strain of mellow refrain That comes from his new mandolin. But better by far when he pleads at the bar. Is the music which flows from his chin. H. M.

May 29. 1!)12. Dear Bill: I am just finishing my first year at College and I want to tell you of mv class. When I got here last fall I was started in with a lot of other hoys and girls and we were called freshmen. I guess the reason they didn ' t call us fresh- women was because there were so many more boys than girls. Yoii know this University has a new President this year. Ilis name is Ilodges, and when we met to choose our leaders for the year we selected another fellow named Hodges to he President of our class. I don ' t know that they are any kin. but they are both mighty big men. Bill, and we are proud of them. We hadn ' t been here no time hardly at all when a bunch of I ' ude fellows called So|)horaores began telling us what we had to do. We never said a word when they cut off a couple of our fellows ' hair, I)ut when they wrote up a lot of things about us and po.sted them all ai ' ound town we wouldn ' t stand for it. I would tell you some of the things that were on them jiosters. Bill, but I am afraid the postoffice authorities would have me arrested. Well we wanted to meet them Sophomores and fight it out just to .show them that we could wipe up the earth with them but there wasn ' t anything doing. Those fellows laiew that they had bit off more than they could chew and they wouldn ' t meet us. Well, we weren ' t going to let them off that easy so we went right after them. We made life miserable for them all the rest of the year. We captured their leaders, and scared them so they were afraid to have a boat ride, and did a lot of other things to them, so that, evi ' n if they did get to punch our president on the nose, you can bet they vere vei ' y soi-i-y tiiev ever tried to do anything to lis. I just want to say in winding u|) that I am mighty glad I came here to school and got in with the class I did, for she is a luunmer. June 4, 11)1:1 My dear Wilhelm : My second year at college is drawing to a close and I shall soon have completed my service as an underclassman. My class, for various reasons which were better left untold, is somewhat diminished this year hut we are still able to carry oft ' the laurels as the lianner elass of the Univensity. We met in the fall and chose one Maxfield Barber as our president and under his leadership we have been very active ever since. Our most commendable feat this year was caring for the freshmen throuo ' h the embryonic state of their college life. They flocked in here on ns last fall in great numbers rivalling the Irish Shamrock in greenness and all other rocks in densene s. Thanks tn some of our fellows who owned cars and were willing to let them become contaminated in a just cause we hauled the fresh ones out of town in great numliers, but like the proverbial Johnson cat tlie.v all came back. There was nothing to do then but endure them and make what we coidd out of them. I feel that our efforts have not been in vain, for by inducing tlicni early in the year to wear regulation headgear so that we could the moi ' c easily pick them out from among civili .ed jicojile we liav( Iieen aide, for tlie greater |)art. to keep them well in liand. In s|)ite of the rawness of the malei-ial on wliieh we have had to work we are tiii ' ning them out at the end of thi ' ir lirst year showing some little signs of human Intellect. April 25, 1914. Dear Bill : It will be but a few short weeks now until I am ready to assume the dignitied role of Senior. Then I shall have but one year more until I can start out armed with my degi ' ee to coni[uer the world. My only regi ' et in an- ticipating that event is that I shall be separated from the class with wiiich I have been so pleasantly associated for the last three years. I take comfort in the thought, however, that I can always have the satisfaction of knowing that, while in college, I was a member of the class that furnished the most real live wires of any that ever went through the University. Under the leadership of our able president, Stu Kace, the third year students are at the present time furnishing a large ma.jority of the leaders in the different forms of student activities. To show you that this is no idle boast T might state that the Junior class has this year furnished the cajitain elect iind four other members of the foot- ball eleven, the captain and three other mendiers of the Vareity nine, the captain and a number of other point winners in track, the captain of the University rifle team, the president of the University Y. M. C. A., the editor- in-chief and five out of six of the associate editors of the present staff of the college weekly, and that a board of editoi ' s chosen from the Juniors is now working on an annual year book that promises to be the best ever put out here. I feel no hesitancy in pi ' cdicting that there will be a large percentage of the memliers of this illustrious cla.ss who will be heard from many tinu ' s after they have finished their college careers and have taken up their life ' s work. opfjomoreg •opfjoinoit Historp S P H urely noue otlici- with sn iiliicIi iiT faiiif. 1(1.

It did not take the other classes long to discover this, for soon they were lieing sought for athletics, choirs, literary clubs, and rushed for fraternities.

First. Miss Walters with her anaphalactic conscience makes 100% in Ana- tomy but has a normal reflex awake. Carrie Herring — Hear what they all say — Faculty and students, Carrie is sweet. Pearl Bent, irresistibly funny, generally known as Ma Bent, chap- erones the lovers on their walks and shuts her ears to all remarks. Our President, Charlie Bray, favors the ladies, visits Woman ' s Hall daily, and is favored by the Faculty. Just so it ' s a girl, says Charlie.

To see Clyde Gorby ' s curly hair and cherubic smile one would imagine liis heart was gentle but alas, again looks are deceiving! He pines to see an operation. Clay Casto devotes the greater part of his time to scientific research. He even allowed the class to take a i-ecord of the etil ' ect of a Campus Course in the spring-time on his own heart.

WALTERS Jf i l ata Cappar== lfa Chapter )T midnight on Friday, March 13th, five young men of West Virginia Uni- A™b versity were awaltened from their slumber by a wierd voice saying, Come, ye men of West Virginia, to the bright light on the summit of Dorsey ' s raS Knob, there to receive instructions beneficial to you and your fellow students. Led by an irresistible impulse each of the young men arose and started on the journey, not knowing that the others had been called in a like manner. Slowly they climbed through a drizzling rain, up the slippery mountain side toward the light which grew paler as they came nearer the top. Having come by different pathways no one knew of the others ' presence until suddenly a flame burst forth from the ground before them, and each saw and recognized the faces of his fe ' low students. All stood in deathlike silence until there arose from the flame a tall form draped in spotless white, and all again was dark. Presently the oracle spoke and all recognized the same voice which had called them from their sleep: Know ye not, men of W. V. U. that your beloved institution is becoming infected with the same deadly selfishne ss and listlessness that has caused even nations to perish? Will ye stand idly by and see jealousy, egotism and selfishness suck the last drops of life blood from the veins of your sacred Alma Mater? Ye five are the worst offenders. Trembling with fear they asked, O, oracle, what then may we do? And the oracle answered, saying, Go ye forth among your fellow students, select such of them as are determined in their efforts, loyal to the institution and steadfast in friendship. Assemble these men into a body and when the moon has risen to the middle of the heavens on the thirteenth night from tonight, return to me for fur- ther instructions. This they did in strict obedience. Men were watched secretly in all their college activities and only those were selected whose every act and word bespoke loyalty to West Virginia. When the moon had risen for the thirteenth time, the five men returned fearfully to the oracle and as one day gave way to the next, the oracle appeared and pointing its bony finger to a golden scroll, said, Read and obey. At the top of this scroll were engraved the three Greek characters Fi Bata Cappar meaning fidelity, harmony and loyalty. Beneath these characters were the secrets and laws which are kept sacredly sealed in the bosom of every member. They adopted as a badge a small piece of sheepskin emblematical of the goal of this college life. The skin is fastened to the garment on which it is worn by a piece of brass from the ancient brazen calf, the meaning of which is one of the secrets of the organization. Thus came Pi Bata Cappar, the organization whose cardinal virtue is boosting. Every member has solemnly sworn to exert his every effort to awaken the old spirit which formerly was the most striking characteristic of a West Virginian.

ASH Junior member FRED B. DEEM jFoottiall J ebieto ijIEWED from the standpoint of onv dirct-tly intert ' sted and closely cnnneeted with this important department of the institution, the year of 1913-14 at the West Virginia University, athletically speaking-, was a success. The word success. however, is used with certain limitation.s and it must not lie given its fullest meaning by those who possess it in their vocabulary. In these days, no season, whether football, baseball, track or otherwise in which Varsity organizations bow to the supremacy of West Virginia Wesleyan can conscientiously be termed a success. It goes against the grain of loyal students and foliowers of various athletic teams to admit that the West Virginia football team was forced to acknowledge the superiority of the Wesleyanite.s on the gridiron last fall. The score was 21 to and the victory carried with it all the honors accompanying the state inter- collegiate championship. Whether the defeat was a direct result of Wesleyan s strengtii or West Virginia s weakness and whether this state of affairs vva.s the result of ineificient coaching is a fpiestion which has been debated pro and con many times since the season closed. The t|uestion may be a debatable one but it is the honest belief of the writer that West Virginia was weak because good material for a winning team was lacking. When a contractor undertakes to build a house he has special material for dift ' erent parts of the work. He must have hardwood in order to get a good finish ; he must have pine for the weather boarding and he must have hemlock for the heavy timbers. The same is true- of a football coach. For the line he nuist have heavy men with ability to charge fast and low; ends that rush in to break up the interference and passes; l)aektield men with ability to plunge the line and skirt the ends for substantial gains and an organization that works as a well oiled machine. Backtield material la.st fall was lacking. Weight and speed are two essentials for a backtield man ;ind it so happened last fall that the men who played the positions possessed nie and not the other. Considerable expei ' imenting had to lie done on account of the fact that Coach E. R. Sweetland and Assistant A. F. Baker were new. J]xperimenting in football is costly but it had to be done last fall. Only three men played the same positions in the last game that they did in the first and no one doubts the fact that the team which defeated Villa Nova 7 to on the closing day was fifty per cent, stronger than the one which lost the state honors to Wesleyan. Adverse weather conditions and lack of spirit on the part of the candi- dates in reporting for daily practice were also important factors in the poor showing of the team. Dame Fortune did not even favor the eleven, as several of the best men on the team were laid up during the season with in.juries. In addition to all this the schedule was one of the hardest ever played by a Varsity football team and then, too, it happened that every team West Virg-inia played was the strongest their institution had ever turned out. This was especially true of Washington and Jefferson, Washington and Tjee, University of Pittsburg and West Virginia Wesleyan. Tie games were played with Marietta and Morris Harvey and both should have been won by the Varsity. It was the weakness of both Davis and Elkins and Waynesburg and not West Virginia ' s strength that accounted for the decisive victories in the first two games of the season. As a result of the showing of the football team, an organized movement was set on foot by the alumni for the revision of athletics in general and the re- sult of the rejuvenation will be seen next year. The athletic committee was made more representative inasmuch as hereafter it will be composed of two representatives from the student body, two from the faculty and two from the alumni. The members of the committee are in line with the revision move- ment and are working hand in hand with the alumni. A winning football team for 1014 ' is the slogan adopted by all and unless there is a decided change in the atmosphere such will be the result. Captain Melville P. Boyles began his football career at Fairmont Normal where be was the brigbt and shining light in athletics throughout his prep, course. As a Freshman he played tackle on the Varsity and the next season was shitted to guard which position he has held for three years. He was chosen on the all-state team for four years in suc- cession. He also holds the all-state shot-put record and ill his Junior year was all-state champion in track. Captain elect O. H. Davis, commonly known as Pigiron gained his early experience on the Charles- ton High School team. He captained that team in his senior year. His first experience in Varsity football was in the 1911 W. J. game in which he did much to win a victory for his team. The surest tackier on the squad, a master of the spiral pass, his work has proved a tower of strength for the Varsity. He has been the almost universal choice for all-state center for the past three years. Truman M. Martin never had a football suit on until the fall of 1910. Despite his inexperience, the amount of pep displayed won for bim a place on the Varsity the following season. Least in weight of all Varsity line men, be has been able to hold his place against all comers for the last two years. Be- sides his football work he is manager of the track team, a niember of the staff of the College weekly and is affiliated with a number of the honorary so- cieties about the University. Clarksburg High School and Franklin and Mar- :ha!l Academy divide the honor of developing a good I ' .l lor the Varsity in the person of S. R. Harrison. Ic was a dependable member of each of these aliool ' s gridiron warriors for two years. Bob. jump- ■ ] light into his position on the Varsity the first day ii; in uniform and he has been there ever since. 1 1 ' will long be remembered in the University lor lis speed in getting down the field under punts and nf his ability to break up the interference of his ijiponents. C. P. Leatherwood — Mike is a product of Wheel- ing and thinks and talks in terms of athletics. Al- though having previously won his W.V. , his work as half back on this year ' s Varsity stands out as the most brilliant of his football career. Owing to his ability to tackle hard and sure on the defense, and to carry the ball for gains on the offense, this speedy youth proved an indispensable man to his team. His enviab ' e record was properly climaxed in the last contest of the season when he ran the ball back ninety yards from the kick-off for the only toucli- down of the game. Incidentally, he is a member of the Varsity nine. Captain of the Law School basket- ball team, a member of the staff of the College weekly and president of the .Tunior Ijaws. G. C. Musgrove— In his prep, days Mussy battled for tour seasons on the gridiron of the Fairmont Nor- iral. School. For two years he has played a guard ' s position on the Varsity and has made a hit by his impersonation of an irresistible force on offense and of an immovable object on defense. In spite of the fact that he has been handicapped by a weak ankle which has kept him out of several games he has easily won his W.V. both seasons. He is also president of the University Agricultural Association nnd a literary man of some note. Moundsville people who are at all acquainted with their city ' s High School athletics will tell you that Melville Stewart was one of the best football play- ers that school ever produced. On entering the University Hilliken had little trouble in proving that he was Varsity material. He is a dependable fullback and was used in that position throughout the greater part of the past two seasons. The word yellow is not in this plucky lad ' s vocabulary and if determination and grit will turn the trick he can be depended upon to carry the ball through his op- ponents ' defense. Leslie Brooks was just about the last word in ih ' etics at West Virginia Wesleyan throughout his t ' condary school career. He played on that school ' s lotball team from the time he entered, and cap- iiined it his last year. His work on the Varsity uring the past two years has been of a very high i-fvee of excellence. His playing position is at iickle where he can hold his own with the best. In- iilentally we might add that the only time he was ir shown up was this year when one Daniel H. ' upid played him off his feet and left him a pent- ■lit Benedict. J. S. Race — Stew played a good game on the Fairmont High School team for two years. He didn ' t come out for the Varsity, however, until his Sophomore year. Since that time he has made good in practically every position on the team except the line. His services on the gridiron have been exceptionally valuable in that in addition to being an excellent player he has an abundance of pep ' and is able to use it as an inspiration to his team- mates. He is also president of the Junior Class and this year won the cup offered for high average in the inter-traternity bowling league. Harry Curry is a Grafton High School product and lor four years he upheld the standard of that insti- tution on the gridiron. He captained his team in his senior year and led his brave cohorts to many a well earned victory. Although but a Freshman he has already made his presence felt in Varsity athletics. He played a back field position on the football team in several important games this year and gave a good account of himself. Curry will be a valuable man in athletics during his three re maining years in the University. Dorsey Brannan entered the University last year coming from the town of Grafton. Previous to that time he had never had any football training and thinking he had no chance to make the Varsity he failed to come out in his Freshman year. But when the call for candidates was made this year he came out and showed such an adaptability for learning the fine points of the game that he soon won a perma- nent berth. Ss E. .J. Larkin, better known as Ed., had served a very thorough apprenticeship in football at George- town and on the East Cleveland High School teams before coming to the University. He cinched a ])Iace on the Varsity the first day out and his right to retain that place was never in question. He has the true football fighting spirit and there were few plays pulled off during the season in which he failed to figure. He started the season at end and was later shifted to tackle where he gave some of the best exhibitions of line playing ever seen on the athletic field. Howard Henrie was the main stay on the Parkers- burg High School eleven for four years and when he entered the University last fall decided to make a try for the Varsity. Dad ' s natural position is at tackle but these positions were so well taken care of by old veterans that entering as a new man he was badly handicapped. In spite of this he play- ed in a sufficient number of games to win his let- ters and will be a strong asset for the team during h ' s three remaining years of college life. Lefty Allen hails from the city of Parkersburg where he learned his A B C ' s of football an d won much renown as a speedy quarterback. That he has been able to live up to his reputation is evi- denced by the fact that in spite of this being his first year in the University he was used in a sufli- cent number of games during the football season to entitle him to his W.V. F. M. Chenoweth — In the athletic history of Broaddus College, Chenny ' s name is indelibly written on every page. When he came to the Uni- versity last fall it was predicted that he would make good on the Varsity teams and he has. He played quarterback throughout a large part of the football season and his clear-headed generalship in the Thanskgiving day game did much in winning from Villa Nova. He is also a member of the Varsity pitching staff and has proved a valuable man to his team. jFootball Scores 1913 W. V. U 43 Davis and Elkins V. V. U 45 Waynesburg W. V. U Pitt . ' 40 VV. V.

GAME m asetiall 3 ebieUj VCING one of the loim ' est and hardest baseball sehedules ever ar- Fiij ranged for a West Virginia team, Coach B. 1 ' . Pattison, graduate m of the Michigan Agricultural College, assumed the responsibility in March of developing a Varsity nine out of a dearth of new and unknown material. The task was a complicated and difficult one but after considerable experimenting Coach Pattison finally settled on a com- bination that proved to be one of the best that ever wore the Varsity monogram. Coach Pattison had only a short time in which to pick a team to make the longest trip ever undertaken here. The .iaunt started on Wednesday April Sth and concluded on Sunday. April 2(ith, fifteen games being scheduled. Thirteen contests were played on the Sciuthern .iourney, six being won and Steven lost. The best teams in Vir- ginia, North Carolina, Maryland and Pennsylvania were played and W. V. TT. proved a match for all. The most important victories on the trip were those registered over V. M. I., Navy, Mai-yland Aggies, . and Elon College. The team traveled close to ' •i,:!(in miles, the following men mak- ing the trip : pitchers, Barron, TIagan, Adams and Chenoweth ; catchers, TTays and Fidler; infieldcrs. Simon, Tveatherwood Smith and Captain Dille; outfielders. Trail, Ayers and Long; Coach, B. P. Pattison, Gradu- ate JTanager, Carl G. Bachman and Manager Paul Hoskins. Ilersey join- ed the club at Pittsburgh as a sub- stitute for Adams. The team that made the trip was a green one, five members of it be- ing first year men. Bad weathei ' as Well as an xmimiiroved field prevent- ed niiy pi ' actice games being played ))efore the trip but in spite of all this the team did remarkably well. The home season was ushered in on April 2 ' .) with a decisive victory over Morris Harvey, and two wins over Marshall College followed in the same week. Bethany was the next attraction and the series resulted in a split, each team winning one game. The coach held hack Barron and Hagan for the champion- ship games with Wesleyan. Wesleyan was played the same week, the scries resulting in a tie. Tjefty Barron lost his game at Fairmont in eleven innings by the score of 3 to 2 but Jack Ilagan finished the victor the day following in Clarksburg, the score being 12 to 6. West Virginia pounded four pitchers and ran the bases like wild men. The Varsity showed a reversal of foi ' m after the championship games losing to Notre Dame and breaking even with Pitt. The first year men were the real surprises of the season. This was es- CAPTAIN DILLE peeially true of Simon, who worked with honors at first base, Fidler who shared the haokstop work with Hays and Ilersey and Ayers who played riajht and center field. Smith was switched from third to short to make a place for Captain Dille and he showed to an advantage throughout the season. Captain Dille put up a fine article of hall at the third station and was a dependable man with the stick. Leatherwood was brought in from the outfield at the beginning of the season and placed at second base. Hays enjoyed his best year and Casto. who held down left field for his foin-th consecutive year was never in better form. Barron gained big league fame by his wonderful pitching and dope says he is due for a major league berth. Hagan rounded into form following his return from the trip and since that time has been coming acros.s with regular wins. Chenoweth and Sullivan produced every time Coach Patti- son called on them, the latter jumping into the limelight when he held Bethany to one hit on May 7th. VV. V. u. , W. V. u. . W. V. u. W. V. u.

Without ecpiipment or running track, and working under conditions that would have discouraged any hut a follower of the Old ( !old and Blue, our men developed sufficient abiliiy to sew up the state championship in the meet held in Clarksl)urg on j lay 30, 1913. The men on the team last year, with two or three exceplions were all new men and the good showing made was largely due to the excellent coaching of Director Edmunds. West Virginia last year also had the honor of having the all-state champion in track in the person of M. P. Boyles. Up to the present time there has been but little opportunity to get a line on the possibilities in track for this year. It was a somewhat sig-nificant fact that in the inter-class meet held on the athletic field on lay 14th the freshmen had the greatest number of point winners. These men added to last year ' s team which lost but two men by graduation should give the Varsity a winning combination wh en the men go to Fairmont to compete in the state meet this year. Coach Sweetland deserves great credit for iii.s untii-ing efforts in pre- paring the men for this event.

Early in the spring of 1913 an organized movement tor llic rc-cstablislimeni of the clubs was begun and a committee of students appeared before IJirector Louis Hlack of the music school and laid before him their plans for the formation of the glee and mandolin clubs. Director Black accepted the responsibility of building up the glee club and tryouts were immediately licld with the result tlutt forty voices responded to the first call for candidates. The work of perfecting the club and the working up of a prograin was begun and the first concert by a University glee club in seven years, was given in Commence- ment Hall during May, 1913. This preliminary work formed an adc(|iinte background lor a more substantial or- ganisation, and with the opening of the fall semester rehearsals were begun for the 1913-14 program. The organization of a niandolin club to v ork in conjunction with the glee club presented a much more difliciilt i)roblein inasinuch as there was no faculty represen- tative of the music school who could lake charge of this end of the work. After considerable planning, L. I ' J. McWhorter .Jr., of (Charleston, W. Va., a first year law student, was asked to take charge. Mr. McWhorter, himself a mandolin player of much talent but without any experience al directing the ensemble work, succeeded in building up a club of eight mandolins -md two guilars in a manntu- which reflected much credit upon himself and the University. The joint concert of the two clubs was given in the Swisher Theater Thursday evening, January 30. Following this I he (dub made a tour of the state giving six recitals. The cities visited were Clarksburg, Spencer, Huntington, Williamson, Charles- ton and Weston and at every stop, backed by enthusiastic alumni support, the clubs were accorded a royal reception and were the mark of much favorable press comment. That the clubs are now permanently organized and will take their place among the college musical organizations of the country, is assured. As a medium of ad- vertisement for the University, musical clubs are recognized as one most productive of results and to those who have worked so hard for the success of the Varsity glee and numdolin teams , only the highest praise and commendation is forth-coming. To Harold B. Marr, who successfully financed the trip of the thirty-two men, must be given the sole credit for putting the clubs on a firm financial basis. Work is already in progress for next year ' s concert when it is expected an ex- tensive tour will be taken. (ri)oral Society Sopranos Alma Bachman Julia Baker Goldie Barker Mrs. L. M.
