JOHN RUSKIN HALL. Weston, W. Va. ■. M. C . A., Chicstomathean Critic Fall 1911, Special Program Orator 1911, President Spring 1912. Buster is truly a man worthy of the presidency of the Sophomore Class. We ad- mire him for his goodness, revere him for his shrewdness, and honor him for his great- ness. He is a profound thinker, a logical reasoner, a forensic orator, and a matchless organizer. At his early age, he is moulding and shaping policies which are destined soon to become embodied in our laws as the fundamental principles of the most enlightened and purely representative government m the world. The time is coming when, for his un-surpassed achievements, he will be recorded in history, embalmed in song, sculptored in marble, and enshrined in the hearts and lives of his country men. Then will nations portray him as the greatest character in all his- tory nd crown him with diadems of honor. ETHEL M. SNODGRASS, Buckhannon, W. Va. Excelsior Literary Society; Associate Editor of Murmurmontis, 1911; 1 reas- urer of College Freshmen, 1910-11; Associate Editor of Phaios, 1910-11; Secretary of College Sophomores, 191 1-12. The Sophomore Class is justly proud of this member, not only for her rare abilities as a student, but also for her sweet disposition and gracious manner. She is winsome and attractive and has won many honors at Wesleyan, and many friends. Bright and courageous is she, and always willing to help along some good cause. Care-free and heart-free. The velvet flush of rose leaf tints; The modesty the violet hints; The passion of the tiger ' s might; The purity of lily, white — Such is our dark-eyed Ethel.

J. FOREST WITTEN. Buckliannon, W. Va. Y. M. C. A., and Excelsior Literary Society. This young man was born in the dim and distant past of long ago, in the state of Ohio. He is the only member of the class who works in double harness. At present, he performs the duties of field agent of the West Virginia Anti-Saloon League, in addi- tion to his regular class work. His terrific outbursts of oratory, with which he keeps us well soaked, are suggestive of the most violent wind storm that ever swept over our little Mountain State. He is en- gaged in a noble work and we trust that his labors will prove so thorough m their exe cution that in the end he will come off more than conqueror and thus alleviate suffering humanity. EDWARD ROWLANDS, Sharon, W. Va. Everybody knows Red Rowlands. He came to us from merry England, but is now a full-fledged Wesleyanite and a valued member of the class of ' 14. He won second prize in the Ison Essay contest in 1 909 ; is a Y. M. C. A. boy and a member of the Excelsior Literary Society. He also serves Dr. Doney in the capacity of private secretary, and is at present the 1 reasurer of the school. While he is sometimes addressed as Dean, he does not claim that title as yet, but his great ability may, in the near future, place him in that position. Rowlands is sometimes seen in chapel. 25
