We,d like to pay tribute to a missing member of the Tech family-a good sport! Our Joe! DEDICATICDN To Ioseph Iairell, we wish to dedicate this issue of Bear Traclcs. afoef who would ha-ue been a senior at Tech this year, was drowned while he was fshing in Richinonds .Eddy near Hinton on August 13, 1950. He served as a half-back on the Golden Bears football squad. In baseball, he played in the out- .Held and pitched. A graduate of Sherinan High School, 'gloev played fist base and pitched for the Seth baseball team in the Big Coal River League. Page Seven Page Eight FCDREWCDRD What is the date? Never mind the day and the month-they are not really very important. What year is it? 1953? 1962? 1978? You see, the date words were written does not meananything. Words are always now. Pictures though are different. Pictures are always the day they were taken. Of all the pic- tures that we could have taken of your years at Tech we have only a few in here. But perhaps these few pictures will start the fingers of memory picking out some minor tune on the battered piano that is our lives. Perhaps for a moment you will see the October sun drop behind the hill at Mount Carbon, the lights of Third Avenue popping between the glistening coal carsg perhaps you will hear, too, the clatter in the cafeteria, the riveting machines on the hill. Then for a moment or so you will be back in the academic year of 1950-1951, the year the Korean War started, the year you and I and all the wonderful guys -and girls were together at Tech. If ' ' 1 ' I 1 a 4 ! v 1 i I 1 1 Page Ten How would a college be run if it hadnlt a president? Looking at M, 1. Horsoh, you can find all the characteristics of a good president. Hels busy-but that doesn't interfere with his friendliness. He7s always willing to take time out to Olga Dalporta has held the position of secretary to President Horsch for four years. A graduate of Tech, Miss Dal- porta resides at Smithers. PRES DENT answer questions. Wlieii there is an improvement being made, you know immediately who is supporting it. Pres- ident Horseh is one of the indispensable members of the administration. DEAN Mr. Paul H. Renton, Dean of Instruc- tion, is a familiar iigure to students as he answers questions and offers suggestions concerning schedules. His deep bass voice serves another purpose besides prescribing courses, for Mr. Renton's chief interest outside his oiiice is in singing. He serves as president of the choir of the Methodist Church, sings with the EMCO Chorus and appears as soloists for various organizations. His voice was also heard in the Messiah. Secretary to Dean Renton, Mrs. Retha Busey is the iirst person with Whorn a student comes in contact on entering the Deanis oiifice. Mrs. Ola Adrion and Madeline Ba- ker assist Dr. Thornton in the registrar's office. Mrs. Adrion, the former assistant manager of the cafeteria, replaced Mrs. Irma New- ton as clerk. Miss Baker has served as secretary to the registrar for five years. Page Twelve REGISTRAR Dr. Frederick E. Thorton, registrar, is one of the first members of the admin- istration with whom one becomes ac- quainted on his arrival at Tech. Dr. Thornton possesses a sense of .humor and keen Wit of which most students are not aware. His chief interest is biology, the field in which he received his Ph.D degree. FINANCIAL SECRETARY Mrs. Annie Castle, financial secretary, is in charge of the business office, which carries out all iinancial measures of the college. Hattie Nunley, Ioan Groves, and Mary Frances Noel assist Mrs. Castle by col- lecting fees, issuing activity cards, typ- ing reports, and taking care of the Finan- cial matters. Althea Gollihugh is the head of the Sec- reterial Services. She takes care of all the Work for the faculty which pertains to school business. Elizabeth Thomson and Faye Morrison are students who assist Althea in the Secretarial Pool part-time. DEANS Page MEN Charles E. Kennedy not only keeps the printing presses rolling, he also does double duty as dean of men. Like your dentist,s office, his office offers old issues of maga- zines for your perusal While you Wait. And like your dentist, even though he is to be avoided professionally, he is a iine fellow oil duty. Mrs. Patricia Truslovv, secretary, per- forms general otlice Work for Mr. C. E. Kennedy, Dean of Men. Fourteen WOMEN Being dean of Women isn,t always pleasant. Lavada Ratliff is the one who breaks the news to the girls who are ucampusedv be- cause of poor grades. She is always Will- ing to talk over a problem which Worries one of the girls. She has proven herself to be an understanding and necessary mem- ber of the Tech family. l LIBRARY Betty Kimble and Eleanor Rowe assist Mr. Wynne in the library. Miss Rowe is the assistant librarian. They are responsible for collecting the 'iiinesv of tardy books, giving information concerning the books, and performing all the other innumerable services. Virgil I. Wynne performs any of the tasks required of a head librarian. This is his iirst year at Tech. Mr. VVynne spends his leisure time directing the choir of the Episcopal Church, giving vocal lessons, and collecting records. He also sang in the Messiah. Page F zfteen get ,Q I -... -4' QT.

L. T. CROCKER and KOESTER COL- VILLE share the work of the journalism department. Students in journalism or pho- tography find W. L. T. Crocker an interest- ing and unique instructor. Aside from his English and journalism classes, Koester Col- ville takes care of the public relations for Tech. He enlightens the local newspapers as to the present, past, or future campus events. CHARLES E. KENNEDY and HECTOR B. SUTHERLAND see that the Collegian is printed Weekly. Mr. Kennedy holds the title of Dean of Men. RANDOLPH STRAUGHAN, R. I. GRIM, and YVILLIAM B. SMITH remind us that we don't know our chemical equations as well as we thought We did. They control the cheniniistry department. WALTER MICHELS and COLEMAN LOYD play a big' role in helping turn out engineers. Mr. Michels is better known to those students in mechanical engineering. VVhat a test! That phrase comes from a student in one of Mr. Loyd's classes. Al- though his chief teaching Held is physics, Mr. Lloyd relieved Mr. Matheny of his European history class. GASPERINE MILO and IRENE NOLAN are the Nbrainsv of the niathematics de- partment. If you come from their classes without learning a great deal, it isn't he- cause they haven't tried. MARIE HOGAN is just the instructor to choose if you Want to learn how to be a good homemaker. She replaced Julia Kil- patrick in the Home Economics Department. KENNETH BEALL directed the Messiah in which several students and members of the administration participated. MYLLAN SMYERS has given the band short notice to play for a pep rally. Under his direction, the band has given several concerts and ex- changed a program with West Virginia State College. - HERBERT ROYER has watched his foot- ball team through victory and defeat-doing his best to make this season a success. VVILMA VVOODBRIDGE tries to keep the girls in good physical condition. HUGH BOSELY encouraged the boys when their morale was low and help them to become basketball conference champions. Mewasmin... -M .,,,.,4 fwwmwl-ie..ma af, ,i awmmuwzwunur LAVADA RATLIFF and ROBERT GIB- SON have earned the name for the educa- tion departunent. D1'. Ratlifl: supervises stu- dent teachers and olfers criticism when it is necessary. Mr. Gibson, head of the guid- ance department, is a new addition to the Tech faculty.

Besides his position in the bookstore, EDWARD MOORE teaches in the com- mercial department. MR. O'NEAL is the only part-time instructor on the campus. Every day MR. GILCHRIST says, this typewriter cost S1507 FRED SILANDER'S favorite question is: Any questions? EDVVIN FAUST gets blamed for all the difficulties of the French and German Ian- guages. Sometimes he even speaks German in French class. Y DANIEL SHEWMON and MANSOOR MOHTASHAMI help the students to iind out what it takes to be a mining engineer. JAMES C. RUCKER helps the students Hnd out how and why a refrigerator runs. I. MILTON PROPPS advises the students of the repairing of a radio. He also teaches courses in that shocking course-electricity. ALFRED McCLUNG's favorite expression is Fundanientally, that is .... Question? B. W. CRANE is known for his recitation of little jingles which he composes for his own amusement. In the biology department, PHILIP WVALK- ER and VIOLET PHILLIPS have full sway. A group of tired students will in- form you that Mr. VValker or Mrs. Phillips has taken theni on a field trip. Both of these instructors try to make the classes interesting for the students. BERTRAM KILEY,s voice is often heard over radio station WMON. Aside from his English classes, he is interested in sports. ROSCOE VINING has often compared his teaching to a vaccination. Sometimes it takes. If it doesn't, the amount of the vaccine is increased. HELEN BRAGG sometimes forgets and imposes her French accent on English words. JOHN MATHENY has been a Ubig Wheela' in the history department for over 30 years. When noise from the Collegian office dis- turbs him, he merely aims a piece of chalk at the Window. FREDERIC HAND, the only insliuctor in the art department, is the man to see if you Want to learn to smear paint. 4 W t'N mWWXQ+ EDVVIN KUBACH has replaced Carl Zerke as Assistant Professor of Speech and English.

Second row standing-Jack Greene, Jack Hawthorne, Clifton Frazier, Richard F ultineer, Vernon Shaffer, Myllan Smyers. The Student Council of 1950-51 had its successes and failures. The Freshman Handbook was one of its first failures. Lack of time prevented the material from being collected and placed in the hands of the printing department. This was due to the late date of election of the council, a situation which was remedied in ,51. The Council sponsored two informal dances the first semester in addition to the Homecom- ing dance and the Valentine formal. The Homecoming celebration was dampened by 'cwet groundsf' An effort to bring movies to the Tech cam- pus failed because of lack of student inter- estg there was no Techzapoppin for the Page Forty-four same reason. The Council-operated Can- teen was closed. Equipment for making the Canteen one of the finest in the state is on order, however, and the canteen will reopen after remodeling. The Student Council aided in the March of Dimes and the American Heart Association Drive and donated to the Red Cross. An outdoor bulletin board was put up where the majority of the students would see it daily. An additional telephone was added to the boy's dormitory through the efforts of the Council and the cooperation of Ivan Allison Ir., manager of the local C. Sz P. office.

Page F orty-six Iournalism and printing students coop- erated to make the VVest Virginia Tech Collegian a real student publication. So that each department would have a knowl- edge of the other's activities, the two groups worked in both Helds. Iournalism students set headlines, out stories after they were set in type, and took turns in making up the paper. Printing majors wrote stories for the paper, studied layout problems, and covered Collegian beats. Collegian stall members Fred St. John, Phil Four ney, Joy Fulk, Jack Greene, and Bob Breeden check page proofs in the Collegian office.

Organized to promote a relationship be- tween students in the printing Held and members of faculty and to build up the ideals of unity and group co-operation, the Pi Alpha Psi fraternity has gone a long way toward achieving this goal. The Pi Alpha Psi, with membership open to printing majors, is the only national hon- orary printing fraternity in the I United States. ' The group meets monthly.

Al- though it is called an honorary fraternity it functions as a service group toward the activities in the Tech Playhousef, The Alpha Psi Omega main purpose in func- tioning is to keep interest in the theater alive and growing. Edwin Kubach, instructor in dramatics and English, is faculty sponsor, and the oflicers of this year Were: Nancy Mulligan, cast ge Fifty-six director, the successor to Betty Williams who was graduated in june, Carole Hud- dleston, business managerg and Percy Mc- Daniels, stage manager. The Alpha Psi Omega Works very closely with the Tech Playersl' and tries in every Way to keep interest in the theater at a high level. This fraternity has a bright future and is sure to grow into one of the impor- tant organizations on the campus, so keep your eyes on it in the coming years. An elaborate setting and subtle lighting effects added much to the enjoyment of the play. Here Bill Hill Works on lighting and Tom Wilsori on the setting.

Think of all the copy that has to be Written! Consider the difliculties in planning the layout! Think of the pictures that must be taken, and try to visualize the trouble en- countered in trying to get students lined up for pic- tures. Now you are beginning to realize that the Editorial Staff didn't have it so easy while making this annual. Editor in Chief Audrene Coberly hounded the entire staff daily for late copy and for lists of faculty and students. Rosalie Johnson had a tough time writing the copy. Dick Fultineer chased after the Collegian, local newspapers, and coaches in order to get information for the sports section. Harold Sterne had his troubles too. Sometimes Harold would have his camera ready to snap a picture, but Where were the students? Only a few had shown up to have their pictures snapped at the appointed time. As Photography Editor, Mary Andreo scheduled the time that pictures were to be taken.

Business Manager Nelson Hamrick didn't End it so easy to meet the Hnancial obligations. Stanley Shears handled the advertising which meant hounding the local merchants until they accepted or declined an advertisement in the annual. Mary Louise Counts helped Stanley with the advertising. Tom Wilson spent a great deal of time arranging the book and insisting that a picture belonged on a certain page. Lois O'Dell, Ruth McKinney, Iris Williams, and Don Baker scrapped together information needed for the copy Writer, typed copy, and performed the other necessary chores. Betty Sowers was responsible for all the artistic Work involved in the annual. Although We had our Worries, We had some experiences which we shall alvvays remember pleasantly.

BE A KAPPA CHI Actives May, 1951, marked twenty-live years of Beta brother- hood. The six charter members established a fellow- ship that has fostered friendship to those who have accepted its constitutional principles. One of the Betas' past presidents once said, c'When I see a fellow Beta, I can say, 'There is a friend' What a joy it would be if everyone could say, 'There goes a humans I have a friend., D Pledges This year saw Beta intramural teams always a iirst- place threat. The annual dinner dance was held at the Riviera near Charleston. The aotives welcomed the many returning alumni who attended the dance. The traditional spring formal finished the social func- tions of the organization for the year.

A few weeks after the Sigmas saw one of their sisters, Miss Marjorie McVey, crowned as West Virginia Tech's May Queen for 1950, some of them were on their way to Chattanooga, Tennessee. There they at- tended the national convention of the Sig- ma Iota Chi sorority. The delegates re- turned to school with many new ideas to convey to their sisters who were unable to attend the convention. At the beginning of the school year two senior Sigmas, Mar- jorie McVey and Eva June Elliott, were listed in lVho's H7710 Among Students in American Colleges and Universities. The Page Sixty-four Sigmas won first prize for their homecom- ing float, Beautiful Scoresf' in November. On january 19 the Sigmas sponsored a Sock Square Dance in the gymnasium. Prizes were awarded to those who wore the loudest socks. The Sigmas remained undefeated in the girls' intramural volley- ball tournament. For the seventh consecu- tive year, a Sigma was elected Queen of Hearts to reign over the annual Valentine Formal. Miss Charlene Weekley was the girl to whom the honor fell. To highlight the whole year, there was the Spring For- mal held on April 21. Rushees were entertained at a ucircusl' held in the sorority room. Acrobats, Siamese twins, a talking dog, a Hadacol medicine man, and a fortune teller were on hand to create a true circus atmosphere. Card games and a Sigma Dream cake were the highlights of the second rush party, when twelve girls pledged the Sigmas. The pledges entertained the actives with a Christmas party. Features of the evening were games, singing, and an exchange of gifts. After carrying Sigma shields and dressing as various uthingsl' for a week, the pledges faced Trial Night. The slumber party which followed ended the Hell Week activities. Following the ritual, the pledges at last became active members.

The founders consisted of two members of the faculty and twelve students. For several years the fraternity maintained a house at Crescent which housed most of the members, but this was given up during the l930's, and since that time rooms have been maintained on the campus. Highlights of the Psi Delta social calendar are the Christmas dance held each year just before the Christmas holidays and the St. Patricks Dinner dance held in March. PS DELTA Although primarily a social organization, Psi Delta has on several occasions, spon- sored projects of campus wide interest, such as scholarship awards and campus beautification. Psi Delta membership has always' been scattered widely throughout the various de- partments of the college and its alumni represents a wide range of professions and vocations. Honorary members include: W. L. T. Croc- ker, Philip C. Walker, john VV. Matheny, and Hector H. Sutherland.

PSI DELTA BASKETBALL The year started with an agenda consisting of immediate plans for the twenty-seventh annual Christmas formal. With President Iack Hawthorne swinging the gavel, the affair proved to be one of the biggest social events at Tech. Mr. and Mrs. Iohn W. Matheny, backed by two-hundred couples, led the grand march, one of the highlights of the evening. The Colonels orchestra of Charleston, provided the music in the college gymnasium that was turned into a Christmas fairy-land. The beginning of 1951 saw the basketball team off to a good start. The team placed fourth in the intramural league with six wins against live losses. First row- Richard Ellis, Wal- ter Ralston, Robert Ridenour, I a m e s Turner. Second row- Richard Hammon Robert Keifer, Stanley Shears. Several actives had left to become members of Uncle Samis fighting forces when Leon- ard Waleski took over the presidency the second semester. Hell nite followed shortly thereafter in- creasing the fraternity,s membership by Five. Hayward Bright, Richard Ellis, David Munne, Virgil Harris and Oliver Haynes comprised the group. The annual St. Patrickis day banquet and dance took place on March 16 at the Knights of Columbus hall in Smithers. The affair was largely attended and a good time was had by all. Page Sixty-seven Phi Mu Gamma is a national fine arts sor- ority. The group here at Tech is the Kappa chapter, established in 1927. There is an alumna chapter for each active one, with a total membership of 3,700. 1950-51 found Techis Kappa chapter contributing Widely to school activities.

She was later presented a E550 scholarship by combined alumna and national chapters. A Fiske, award for having done complete and eflicient Work with the national office the previous year was Won by the Tech chapter. It entitled a pledge to free mem- bership, including national dues and pin. Carolyn Woofter, senior, was president at the time.

Although they were unable to duplicate the near-perfect record of the great ,49 team, this yearis predominantly freshman and sophomore studded squad stretched the undefeated string to 16 games before the Golden Bear was snagged by a more experienced trapper. The 35 man squad was composed of men from all regions of the state, one from Pennsylvania and one from New Iersey.

'W Did not finish season. the total number only four were upper classmen. This green list revealed a lot of inexperience throughout the Bear,s Den, but promises a bright out-look for the future. To assist coach Boyer with his duties, Donald Gibson was added to the Tech staff. Coach Gibson is a graduate of Mar- ' shall College, where he played varsity ball four years. mGibby,' was an outstanding player, having been voted most valuable player in 1946 and most valuable line man in 1949. His scouting behind enemy lines aided the Bears imrneasurably during this past season. Techis grid card for '50 was composed of 10 games featuring four out-of-state and non-conference teams. The Golden Bears were by no means hibernating at home dur- ing the season but were out roaming the hills of West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio fby chartered Greyhound, of coursel. The lid lifter of the season found the Bears going great guns over the invading preachers of Taylor University of Indiana. The Taylor boys did not live up to expec- tations as the stinging 33 to 0 defeat re- veals. - On the first road trip, Herb's boys ran into a tough, sparked-up Shepherd eleven who held the Bears to a gruelling 0 to 0 deadlock. The Rams were determined to avenge the past seasonas defeat and caught the traveling Bears completely off balance. Back at home the Techmen played host to the Rockets from Slippery Rock, Pa. The 20 to 0 Win was a result of superb perform- ances in every department. Coaches Royer and Gibson were Well pleased to see their offense and defense work in clock-like per- fection. Mount Hope Stadium provided the scen- ery for the next production. As the curtain dropped on the final scene, the Glenville Pioneers Were suffering from a 81-13 infec- tion. At times the Bears appeared great and resembled the finesse of the last year's 'perfecti team. The superb running of Bob Pulice and Walt Piapko made it a tough evening for the road-Weary Pioneers. I Page Seventy-one wr Qsisf? , Q X1 .lf law 5:v.' JACK SIMMS ALL WALTER RAPKO N F E R E N C E GENE OGLESBY The following week found the Gold and Blue matched against the Orange and Black of Otterbein, Ohio. It was a beauti- ful fall afternoon there at Westerville when the Bears went hog-wild and threw every thing but the towel at the Cardinals. Walt Rapko crossed the double stripe on 3 trips and Bunkey Iohnson, defensive safety, snagged two enemy passes and reversed their progress for two 50 yard tallies for Tech. Final results: a 52-19 rout. Rivalry of the Hrst degree highlighted the Morris Harvey tilt at Laidley Field. For the Tech squad and fans, the evening was an ill-fated one. The stadium lights were bright but everything went black in the Bears Den. It was a dejected and be- wildered host of fans and players who watched the scoreboard work like an add- ing machine totaling a 61-13 triumph for ge Seventy-two M. H. The Eagles abruptly ended the 16 straight win streak and avenged the 13-7 defeat of last season. For the second time of the season Coach Boyer and crew suffered a setback by a more powerful and experienced team. This defeat was at the hands of VVaynesburg College up in the Keystone state. Once again a battered and dejected Bear backed away from a 25-6 defeat. As tradition goes Cso it seemsj Horne- coming was accompanied with rain. It was upon a sea of mud in the East Bank Sta- dium that the rejuvenated Techsters routed the Concord Mountain Lions with an 'oozyi 26-13 score. Having most of the old wounds licked, the Bear was again at full strength and determined to get back in the showing. VVest Virginia Wesleyaii played host to the Golden Bears on the crisp, Windy after- noon of November llth. The prelude to the final chapter was Written up with a 28 to 0 Win over the Bob Cats. The season's score book was closed and laid upon the shelf by a mighty unbeaten and untied West Liberty eleven. The stinging 41 to 13 defeat left the Bears With a fourth place rating in the conference. In rating the season as a Whole, one should note that two of Tech's three losses were to unbeaten, untied aggregations, Morris Harvey and West Liberty. There Were only 20 such teams in the nation. As a deserving tribute to their outstand- ing performances, three Golden Bears were awarded berths on the all-conference team. They Were: lack Sims, senior end and cap- tains Walt Rapko, sophomore halfback and co-captaing and Gene Oglesby, sophomore tackle. Bob Pulice ate up more ground than any other performer in the conference While Walt Rapko's punting took top honors. Pu- lice was one yard short of being leader in total offense, While Grossi's pass completion average was second only to Morris Har- veyis Pete Anania.

This year's cagers brought to West Virginia Institute of Technology its first state conference basketball championship. The 1950-51 edition of the Golden Bear basketball team proved to be the best cage quint ever produced at this institution. The charges of Coach Hugh Bosley had a composite season's record of 25 Wins and two defeats. Included in this was a Winning streak of 19 straight games. The idea of Winning all started With another idea, a pre-season Warm-up tourney. Four teams, Concord, Glenville, Alderson-Broaddus, and Tech, partici- pated, with Tech gaining an easy triumph over the Held. The contest is planned as a yearly event, being held this year at Tech, and next year at Glenville. Tech dovvned Glenville 71-59 and Concord turned back A-B 65-61 in opening games, While Glenville took down consolation honors by trimming A-B G8-58, as Tech easily Won the crown by thumping Concord 80-70. Having this pre-season tourney under their belts, the Bears continued to roll over opponents until they met with the Bobcats of VVesleyan on the Buckhannon floor. Here the Bears Were repulsed by a 50-48 count. From this point on it was just plain murder-for Tech,s opponents. The Golden Bears breezed through their next 19 contests, breaking many records along the Way. Pa e Seventy-four The first victim was VMI, a Southern conference member, which was re- pulsed 76-69. Then came 14 straight victories in thelWest Virginia Conference, topped off with a second victory over our traditional rival, Morris Harvey. The game clinched the state collegiate conference for the Bears, the first in their history. The final tally was 78-76, and it was easily the best game of the year. Having captured the crown, the pressure was off, and the Bosleyinen really poured it on their next two opponents. Potomac Stateis Catamounts were victims of the Bear's highest single game total, falling under a 40 goal onslaught, 104-69. Several nights later, all of the starting five hit in the double column to give Tech an unexpectedly easy 98-69 victory over VVashington 81 Lee. The win over W. 61 L. was Tech's second over Southern Conference opponents, and helped Tech gain national recognition. Tech completed its regular season with their second victory over last yearis champions, Davis 81 Elkins, 77-71. L Many individual scoring records fell during the season. Eddie Solomon, sophomore scoring whiz, ripped the nets for 45 points against Salem in the local gym, to establish a new single game scoring record. Later in the season Solomon combined with teammate George Swyers to set a two-man scoring record of 79 points. Swyers, in the same game QPotomac State? fell only two points shy of Solomonis new record of 45 markers, while Solomon pumped for 36. The secret of the success of this yearis great team seemed to be balance of power, teamwork, and smart coaching. The balance is shown by the fact that two boys, Solomon and Swyers, averaged over 20 points per game, while a thirtl, Ritter, was also in the double column at the end of the campaign. In the post-season tournament at Buckhannon, Tech was top-seeded, but met with defeat at the hands of Glenville in the semi-finals. Tech had downed the Pioneers three times during the campaign, but couldnit overcome that fourth game jinx. The Hnal count was 70-51. Next year should be a banner year at Tech, unless Uncle Sam steps in, as none of the boys are seniors, and only Captain -Al Nida is the only junior. The regular starting line-up was composed of George Swyers and Tex Ritter at for- wards, Eddie Solomon at center, and George Booth and Al Nida at guards. At the conclusion of the regular season Solomon, Swyers, and Nida were named to the all-conference team, while Solomon was also named on the all- tournament.
