J r 1 1 n St e w a r t DUR PRESIDENTS MESSAGE Class of 1948: Your senior year has seen the beginning of a planned expansion which will enable the University to serve the state more effectively. You will see the progress of that expansion year by year. As citizens of a democratic state, you have benefited by an intellectual freedom denied people under totalitarian regimes. What you are, what you do, what you become are better evi- dences of the worthwhileness of the University than any words can be. We are content to have you as representatives of the Uni- versity. The best wishes of the University go with you. IRVIN STEWART C ldenhoweif cJDa Before a crowd of five thousand people on a sunny Tuesday, Septem- ber 20, 1947, in the Mountaineer Stadium, General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower addressed the Students and Faculty at a Special Convoca- tion. As the General addressed the assembly a rigid honor guard of R.O.T.C. Cadets flanked the speakers ' stand, while the faculty dressed in their colorful gowns encircled the rostrum. Also at this memorable occasion an Honorary Doctors Degree was conferred upon General Eisenhower. 12 RICHARD ASPINALL Director of Student Affairs CHARLES THOMPSON NEFF. JR.

S tucient L ouncli Enjoying a strong post-war revival of student activity, the 1947-48 Student Council successfully executed an expanded program of student-controlled functions. The ten-member group, which is the legislative board for the student body, proved that student government can faithfully and efficiently assume an important role in Uni- versity administration. In the campus election of May, 1947, Tom Smith, Jr., of Dunbar, was elected presi- dent of the student body. Other members of the Student Council were Charles Schrader, senior class president; James H. Skidmore, junior class president; William Street, sophomore class president; William htawley, junior man representative; Dawn Kite, junior woman representative; Andy Reaves, senior man representative; and Pat Paul, senior woman representative. Miss Paul was later selected council secretary and Street was named treasurer. The freshman class elected Barbara hloke president in a special September election. After selecting Mary Nichols to represent the University at the Miss West Virginia contest in a busy summer session, the council opened the fall term with an extensive Freshman Week program. In the usual rush of September business, the council named Gene Bailey to fill the vacated Monticola editorship, and appointed competent per- sonnel to the convocation, publication, and other Important committees. Joe Gurtis was selected as coordinator for the biggest hlomecoming Weekend in University history. With more than 30,000 parents, alumni, and other visitors on hand, the Student Council put on the year ' s most spectacular program. Moun- taineer Day, observed for the first time, followed a week later. Arch Moore, who 82 Ballot Counting Flowers for the Queen student l ouncii originated the event, was director. James Skidnnore was director of the council ' s program for the State High School Basketball Tournament. The year ' s concluding major event was Greater West Virginia Weekend, which set new records both in attendance and activity. Robert Stultz was chairman. In addition, the council adequately dealt with the problems of seating at Moun- taineer Field for football and the Field House for basketball, representation at the Shendendoah Apple Festival, naming the new recreation center Mountainlair, and electing another Miss West Virginia University. The council also set up a Student Rally Committee to conduct thuses, a 28-member Recreation council to plan all- campus entertainment, and named four members of the Student Center Activiteis Board. With an eye toward long- range centralization and expansion of authority, a special committee, headed by Herbert Fockler, was established to examine the student constitution for possible revision. On the advice of this group, Gordon Billheimer headed a new board which drafted a constitution calling for sweeping changes in the student government. Tom Smith was also prominent in the reactivation of the West Virginia Federation of College Students. In the organization ' s first post-war session in May at the Uni- versity, Barbara Hoke was selected secretary of the association for 1948-49. As President Stewart has clearly pointed out, the Student Council of 1947-48 has demonstrated that the student body is able to take an active and ever- increasing part in University functions. 83 The 1948 Monticola constituted probably the world ' s greatest collection of inaptitude and inexperience. The staff of the Monticola floundered through the first se- mester, made Innumerable mistakes and managed to compile volumes of misinformation and undesirable facts. By the second semester, those of the staff who didn ' t flunk out of school were rapidly becoming authorities on all of the intricate phases of photography, engrav - ing, and printing. At the expense of the student body they were also learning to spell and to type. At the time the book went to press the remaining handful of faithfuls had emerged as veritable geniuses. hieading the ' 48 staff was Editor Gene W. Bailey and Business Manager Richard P. Jones who soon became convinced that a student ' s place was in the classroom. Displaying both patience and versatility, John Batlas, Jr. labored faithfully with the editorial staff and also found time to lend assistance to the photography. The make- up editors included Doris Walker and Juanita Manning assisted by Simon M. Bailey. Virginia GENE W. BAILEY Editor THE JOHN BATLAS. JR.

David hHeebink and Tom Moorehead were placed in the business department and Jack Skinner proved his ability as Sports editor. Bob Calvert, Richard Phillips and John Batlas, Jr. contributed the pictorial sections. College events live long in memory but there is an added pleasure in a record. Whether or not this Montic- ola reflects the West Virginia University campus as it was in the turbulent year of 1948 is not for us to judge. It represents our efforts — May you the reader be well pleased. 194B MDNTirDLA h3 v f. RICHARD G.

Its membership is open to any agriculture student upon the payment of annual dues. The Ag Club was founded in 1933 In order to stimulate social activities in the College of Agriculture; however, it sponsors activities which are of educational value. The Mountaineer Egg and Baby Chick show has become an annual affair. The zenith of the Club ' s activities was the Ag-Mix which Included a barbacue and a square dance. Participation in the All Ag Picnic attended by the students in hlome Economics, Forestry, and Agriculture, usually concludes the program for the year. 122 li ltu ei p a The purpose of the Alpha Zeta, agricultural honorary, is the develop- ment of the farm, and the farm house through an organization controlled by agricultural students. It Is advised by an agricultural faculty and stimulated by the bonds of fraternity around a membership chosen after an earnest agricultural motive. The fraternity of Alpha Zeta was founded at Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, by Charles W. Burkett on November 4, 1897. John F. Cunningham and ten other chapter members established the town- shend chapter and since that time the fraternity has progressed. The West Virginia chapter was chartered in 1922 and since that time has been the only honorary fraternity in agriculture on the campus. Consideration is given equally to scholarship, leadership, and character, in considering any candidate for membership. 123 First Row: Mildred Wines. Mary Catherine Martin, Mary Ann Cox.

In May, 1890, West Vir- ginia Alpha Chapter of Phi Kappa Psi was established. The chapter has the distinction of being the oldest fraternity on the campus. The first chapter of Phi Kappa Psi was founded in 1852 at Jefferson college. The fraternity colors are Hunter ' s Green and Cardinal Red. The flower is the Jacqueminot Rose.

As the years progressed the chapter grew and prospered until it was one of the strongest fraternities on the campus. After several years of petitioning they were finally admitted to the national circle as Alpha Kappa of Alpha Sigma Phi in October of 1931. Shortly thereafter, however, due to the depression the chapter went inactive. In the summer of 1946 Alpha Sigma Phi and Alpha Kappa Pi (another national fra- ternity) merged, putting Alpha Sigma Phi in the top ten of national fraternities. The name of Alpha Sigma Phi was adopted because of the hundred years of illustrous his- tory behind it. In the fall of 1946 a group of former Alpha Kappa Pi ' s got together and with the aid of alumni of the old chapter reactivated Alpha Kappa chapter. In the fall of 1947 the chapter was firmly established and has been growing steadily ever since. y- s f •. • F 191 m mf PHI KAPPA SIGMA First Row: John W. Ward, James W. Hume, Clavin M.

There was a lot of good material on hand, and Coach Bill Kern and his staff welded it into what was recognized as one of the better teanns in the East. The Gold and Blue won six and lost four over a ten game schedule, and rolled up 246 points to 84 for their opponents. The team looked good both offensively and de- fensively, and had they won more games, some of the members would have received the national recognition they deserved for their individual play. This was the final season at the University for Leo Benjamin, Bob Bom, Gene Corum, Charlie HHarris, Ed KulakowskI, Fred Morecraft, Chuck Schrader and Chet Spelock. They all played good ball, and their services will be sorely missed next year. Coach Kern submitted his resignation during the last week of the season, and as a fitting climax to his career at West Virginia University, the team gave him a victory over the Pitt Panthers. The game was played at the Panthers lair in Pittsburgh, and this time, for a change, it was Pitts turn to say, wait till next year. It was a Qood year, buf next year should be even better. West Virginia, 59; Ot+erbein, The first game of the season was a home appearance against Otterbein. Just a year before, the Mountaineers had had difficulty in downing the lads from Ohio by a 13-7 count, but the story of this year ' s encounter was considerably different. West Virginia rolled to nine touchdowns with Zinaich, Walthall and Becca each scor- ing twice and Bumgardner, Cox and Morton once. Clare Wilson place kicked three extra points and Dick hloffman added two more. The team looked good In all depart- ments of the game, and the local fans left Mountaineer field with a feeling of satisfaction. West Virginia, 35; Washington and Lee, 6 The teams met in their traditional battle on Charleston ' s Laidley Field. The temperature was hovering around 85 degrees, and as far as Mountaineer fans were concerned, the team was as hot as the weather. At the intermission, the Gold and Blue had only a meager 7-0 lead, by virtue of a 53-yard run by Tommy Keane, but in the second half the score mounted to a much wider margin. A pass from Keane to hfuntz produced touchdown number two, and another pass, Walthall to Richmond, was good for number three. Harris recovered a fumble on the W. and L. 1 3 to set up the next touchdown, with Malyk taking the ball over on a plunge. Then with only fifteen seconds to go, Combs passed to end Frank Reno who went all the way, behind good blocking. West Virginia also made good on all extra point attempts. W. and L. was held to a lone touchdown. West Virginia, 60; Waynesburg, 7 West Virginia scored nine touchdowns against the Yellow Jackets, and In doing so, gave an impressive demonstration of whot could be done with the T formation offense. Coach Bill Kern let his reserves see plenty of action and against them, Waynesburg was able to push over one touchdown. Bumgardner, Zinaich, Devonshire, Cox, Schrader, Bonflll, Richmond, Becca and Fought each contributed a touchdown to Mountain- eer cause. Dick Hoffman added four extra points by placement and Clare Wilson two. West Virginia, 40; New York University, The steam roller effect continued against the Vollets In New York City. Keane heaved to Bumgardner who then ran 36 yards for the first score. Walthall went 45 yards for the second. Then Bumgardner went 65 yards in two plays to score the third. After a 44-yard run by Becca and a pass from Combs to Huntz, good to the 5, Malyk crashed over for another. Pass plays Combs to Huntz and Becca to Bonflli set things up for the last touchdown. From the 5, Bonfili went around end to pay dirt. Hoffman converted 4 out of 6 times. West Virginia, 14; Penn State, 21 This was probably one of the most outstanding games ever played by a Mountaineer eleven. State had the depth and power, and won the game; but they only won it by one touchdown, and the grit and determination dis- played by West Virginia, made them a team to be proud of. The Lions scored the first time they had the ball, when after a sustained drive, Rogel went over from the one. West Virginia came right back when two pass inter- ference rulings gave them the ball on the Penn State four yard line. Pete Zinaich went over, and Dick Hoffman came in to kick the extra point which tied the score. Then the Mountaineers went out in front on a pass from Combs to Huntz, good for another touchdown. Hoffman again converted. Penn State tied the count again late in the DUDLEY DeGROOT and ROBERT A. TITCHENAL fa Lj__Lii.i ' _ second period on a plunge by Clarence Gorlnski, and the half ended with the score 14-14. In the second half, West Virginia was on the defensive most of the time, and although they made two magnificent goal line stands, Penn State would not be denied. They scored the winning touchdown on a pass from Ellwood Petchel to Wallace Triplett who took the ball on the West Virginia 26 and ran the rest of the way to score. Penn State finished their season unbeaten and untied, and were invited to play in the Cotton Bowl at Dallas, Texas on New Year ' s Day. West Virginia, 0; Maryland, 27 The Terrapins handed West Virginia a disheartening defeat, before a homecoming crowd at College Park. It was the first time a Maryland eleven had defeated West Virginia and it was their game all the way. They scored twice in the first and twice in the final periods. Gambino, their great back led the attack with three touchdowns, and Wingate contributed another. Six of the Kernmen suffered injuries, and it was thought at the time that Keane would be out for the remainder of the season. West Virginia, 6; Kentucky, 15 A record crowd of approximately 26,500 jammed Mountaineer Field to see this one. West Virginia led II to 7 in the first downs, and dominated much of the play, but Kentucky came out on the long end of the score. They relied on the kicking of George Blanda to keep the Mountaineers backed up, and played for a break. The break came when they recovered a fumble on the West Virginia 25, and then ran and passed their way to a score. Their second touchdown came on a long run by Jim hlowe who wormed his way over the muddy field to cross the goal line standing up. Two more points were added to the Kentucky total by virtue of a blocked punt, which went out through the end zone for an auto- matic safety. The West Virginia touchdown came as a result of a 50 yard drive. Malyk bulled his way over from the two yard line for the score. West Virginia, 0; Virginia, 6 This was the homecoming game, and one to be re- membered. It was a wet day, and the Mountaineers and Cavaliers struggled In the mud without scoring, until late in the game. Virginia marched from the West Vir- ginia 43 to chalk up the only score of the game. Their star back, Srover Jones did most of the ball carrying In this drive, and finally went over on a line plunge. On the following kick-off West Virginia got going, but time was running out. Tom Keane, who was still suffering from Injuries received in the Maryland game, came off the bench to heave some desperation passes. From the 43 he completed one to Jimmy Walthall on the Virginia 25, and Walthall made it to the 18. Two passes failed, and on the next one, what looked like a touchdown toss fell incomplete when hluntz the intended receiver, ran into the goal post. Another pass was incomplete and Virginia took over. hHowever, they fumbled and West Virginia recovered. There was still a chance for the Mountaineers, but two more Keane passes just failed to connect, and the game ended. V est Virginia, 21; Temple, The Gold and Blue ended their losing streak by de- feating the Temple Owls, in the last home game of the 1947 season. Phil Slosburg, an outstanding back for the visitors, put on a fine exhibition of all-round play, but West Virginia was in command of the situation all after- noon. Late in the first quarter. Bob Fought Intercepted a pass on the Temple 24. From that point Rex Bum- gardner carried six straight times, going over from the one-foot line. . In the second period Walt Malyk carried from midfleld to the 24, and then took a pass from Tom Keane to go over standing up. The last touchdown was made on a plunge by Malyk. A pass interference had given the Mountaineers the ball on the Temple four, and he went over from that point. Dick Hoffman made good on all three extra point attempts. West Virginia, 17; Pittsburg, 2 After nineteen long years, the once mighty Panthers were defeated by West Virginia, and it was a cold day In Pittsburgh In more ways than one. Pitt was outclassed but fought hard, even though there was little doubt as to the final outcome of the game. Keane sneaked over from the one yard line for the first touchdown, and hloffman kicked the extra point. In the second quarter Gene Corum blocked a punt and covered the ball on the Pitt five-yard line. After three running plays lost five yards, hloffman came in and booted a field goal. The Mountaineers had to score their last touchdown twice. A touchdown pass from Keane to Richmond was called back because of a backfield in motion penalty, but on the next play Keane again threw one into the end zone where Smodic deflected the ball into the hands of Bernie hluntz. hloffman ' s kick was good for another extra point. Pitt got their two points on the last play of the game when a blocked punt gave them a safety. The We.st Virginia players carried Coach Bill Kern off the field on their shoulders, the goal posts were torn down, and everyone was happy — that Is everyone from West Virginia.

The second game, against Briqham Young, was a real battle in the first half; but the Mountaineers started clicking in the second half and triumphed with a 68-5 I win. One of the most exciting games of the season came when West Virginia tallied 68 points to North Carolina State ' s 64. A battle between two of the best teams in the country, it was any- body ' s game till the final moments of play. Fairmont ' s boys held West Virginia to a slim two point lead of 24-22 at the half, but the second portion of the game found the Moun- taineers as hot as a ball of fire and the final out- come was a comfortable West Virginia 68, Fair- mont 40.

It was a bare win when the cagers travelled CLYDE GREEN EDDIE BEACH EDDIE STERLING JOE DUFF r- ' to Buffalo to play Niagara. The final score was Niagara 58, West Virgina 59. Next Penn State gained a 50-46 verdict over the Pattonmen. The West Virginia men were back in the win column when they defeated Bethany 54-42, but the score indicated that they were still below par. It was a surprise when Washington and Jeffer- son came up with a 52-41 win after the Moun- taineers had twice defeated them by large margins the previous season. Whatever troubled the players in the losing games was absent when the Pattonmen came back with an impressive 88-42 win over Virginia Military Institute. Next the Mountaineers cancelled their former loss by a good win over Penn State with the score 60-38. Eddie Sterling, playing his second game for the Pattonmen, made an impressive showing in this game. Another close 38-37 victory came when the West Virginia men played Navy at Annapolis. Schaus suffered a broken finger in this one. The next game was at Philadelphia where the finishing score read: West Virginia 81, Temple 75. Back on home ground, the Pattonmen met Washington Jefferson with the intention of mak- ing up for the previous loss. They did, and the score was 73-52. The next three games were pleasant victories with the scores being: West Virginia 8 I , Geneva 204 BOB JACKSON BUCK THOMPSON BOB MILLER 52; West Virginia 70, Pitt 59; West Virginia 73, Washington and Jefferson 52. When Bradley Tech, one of the outstanding teams of the nation, came to Morgantown to battle with Patton ' s crew a record crowd of 7,200 spectators went wild as the Mountaineers downed Bradley with an 85-74 score. Temple suffered another defeat, 71-61, with Eddie Beach leading the home team with 22 points to his credit. To finish the season, the Mountaineers tallied 52 points to Pitt ' s 36. This game marked the last game of their college career for Leiand Byrd, Dave Wilson, and Bob Carroll.

To boot, hiarrick and his nine are assured of the best record since the 1928 nnark of twelve victories and four setbacks. Art Donata and Okey Ryan have been the pitching kingpins, and Roy Lester, Joe Bermingham, and Pete Zinaich are leading what amounts to one of the hardest hitting Mountaineer clubs. W. V. U. W. V. U.

SMITH The West Virginia University Track Team un der the export coaching of Art Smith is definitely coming into its own after a layoff during the war years. The track learn got off to a good start In the 1948 season by rolling up an Impressive score of 70-52 over Western Reserve at Cleveland. Going from the North to the South the thin dads next ran across Washington and Lee in Virginia. Although the Gold and Blue won 69-62 it was anybody ' s meet until the last event. The two teams were about tied wUh the victory going to the team with the best javelin thrower. Bernle Huntz was called upon to represent W.V.U., and he came through with the winning toss of 1 79 feet 2 inches to win the event. This made him high point man of the meet with three first places, having won the shot put and the discus. Jack Morton took second place honors with two firsts In the 220 and 440 yard dashes. The Mountaineers first home meet was with Ohio University on Mother ' s Day, and for the occasion rolled up a 76 ' 2-45 ' 2 victory. The next week ihe thin clad met with their only defeat at the hands of Syracuse and Rutgers. The Mountaineers were out- classed In this meet due to the fact that only six men took the trip. Huntz again led the team with first In the shot put and discus. Bill Pittman took second p!ace honors In both the 100 and 220 yard dashes. The last track meet of the season was with Temple.

Morgantown, W. Va. BIG BUSINESS! WORDS TO PRIZE. NOT DESPISE! Great economic delusions and superstitions hover around those oft-despised words: Big Business. Isn ' t it most peculiar that thousands of intelligent users of automobile, refrigerator, radio, telephone, gas, electricity and a thousand other incidentals of American life apparently never stop to think that Big Business is responsible for great economical advances in our standard of living, whose benefits are now enjoyed in the humblest home but were not available in palaces of old. Without Big Business and its productive enterprise, where would we find jobs, wages, taxes, national budgets, security? HOPE NATURAL GAS COMPANY Still Growing AND HAPPY ABOUT IT 5c  OR many years now we ' ve been stretching to our full height to meet the public ' s demands for adequate electric power. Little by little we ' ve been growing. Right now we ' ve facing our largest expansion program and we ' re happy about it, for it will mean, just a few years hence, the finest electric generating and distributing system that man can plan and money can build. And it ' s all for the public ' s use and benefit. A good way to measure the growth of a man and of an industry is by accomplishment.
