With much indecision as to how best to present
the college life of One Thousand Nine Hundred
Thirty-eight, we embarked upon our course last fall.
After surmounting the usual trials and pit-falls we
have amassed the information contained herein and
present it as your memoires of this year.
It is our earnest desire that in years to come this
book will carry you back to the good old days—your
happy, carefree days of Nineteen Hundred Thirty-
eight. If, in the future, The Nineteen Hundred
Thirty-Eight Mound does that we will feel that our
time has been well spent.
It is with this thought in mind that once again we
present for you The Mound. May you cherish it as
a true friend.

DEDICATED
MRS. JOSEPH ROSIER
Who although not directly connected with Fairmont State
Teachers College has a very keen interest in it—its ideals,
aims, and aspirations.
Mrs. Rosier has seen schools develop from the time of the
itinerate teacher, to which class her father belonged. Shestudied in the Salem schools, elementary, secondary, and col-
lege. After completing her college work in Glenville College,
Mrs. Rosier taught school for three years. P. E. O., a college
non-Greek letter sorority, in which Mrs. Rosier holds member-ship has only four chapters in West Virginia.
Although she has been interested and indirectly connected
with schools for some years it is for her civic activities that
The Mound wishes to honor the wife of our President. At
various times during the past few years she has served in the
following capacities: chairman of the third annual membershipcampaign of the Red Cross; President of the Women's Club at
a time when the membership was about seven hundred;
Regent of the Major William Haymond Chapter of tha
Daughters of the American Revolution. Mrs. Rosier now has
an honorary membership in the Business and Professional
Women's Club, and the Family Welfare has been greatly
aided by her able assistance. Immediately after the United
States entered the World War, Mrs. Rosier organized and
established the Home Service Department of the Red Sross and
served for several years as Executive Secretary; this depart-
ment is still very active today.
Realizing that Fairmont State Teachers College has an
interest and concern in the civic life of Fairmont, The MoundStaff of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-Eight, respectfully
dedicate this book to one of the civic leaders of Fairmont,
Mrs. Joseph Rosier.

FAIRMONT STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE
We feel proud of Fairmont State Teachers College
today. It stands on its knoll and provides training
which better fits us to work in and for society. How-
ever, if we look at its past record we may feel just
a little more proud.
The present college was one of the first estab-
lished as a private institution in 1865 to meet the
demand for competent and efficient teachers in the
free schools. Advancement has been steady from
the time of the first meeting in the basement of a
church to our present standing. Our school has had
three homes of its own: first, at the corner of Quincy
and Adams Streets; second, on Fairmont Avenue;
and now on the hill.
From a student body of seventy-five in 1872 wehave grown to an enrollment of over seven hundred.
We have advanced from a high school standing to a
college rating. In 1905, our Teachers' Training De-
partment was added. It was in 1923, when we offered
our first A. B. degree in Education, that we finally
achieved a rating as a first class college. From this
time only two courses, The College and The Standard
Normal, have been offered.
Throughout this time the school has had the aim
of preparing teachers so that education in West Vir-
ginia may be improved to the greatest possible
extent.
A D I N I S T R A T I N
From the time a student enters Fairmont
State Teachers College until he graduates, his
life, while he is there and after he leaves, is
directly in the hands of the faculty of the school.
The number of graduates from this school testify
to the fact that the guidance received while in
Fairmont State College is very desirable and
that the ones administering it are very capable of
guiding us in our preparation for life.
It is with a firm but just hand that education
and social life are mixed by the administrators
through this cycle of time. By their dexterous
leadership we avoid many pitfalls and develop
our ability to live amicably with our fellow-
students.

Student government at Fairmont State Teachers Collegeis one of the most highly developed student governments in
the state It was inaugurated in November, nineteen hundredand seven, and since that time has steadily grown strongerand more efficient in its functioning.
In the years since its establishment, the student govern-ment has encouraged a close co-operation with the administra-tion and faculty, a pleasing development in the social attitudesof the students, a higher degree of self-sufficiency and a mani-festation of authoritative interest.
It is our earnest desire to develop our student governmentto the highest degree of efficiency and cooperation.

SENIOR CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHT
It is with heart-felt regret that The Class of
Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-eight comes to the
parting of the ways. Naturally, in reflecting on
what has gone before, the class is inclined to recall
most vividly those pleasant and profitable relations
that have sprung up as a result of life at Fairmont
State College.
However, the class feels that the true worth of
the knowledge and experience gained by each indivi-
dual during the past four years will be most fully
realized when it is used as a foundation upon which
to build careers.
Having accepted so much, the least hope of the
class is that it has contributed something in return
toward making Fairmont State College a living and
growing institution.

The class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-nine
brings to an end its third year of success in college
campus activities. Realizing that the end of our
journey is near, the class has gripped the reins
tightly for the final dash.
During the past three years the class has ex-
celled in many fields of activity. Athletics, drama-
tics and social functions have had the full support
of the Junior class. Always playing a leading
role in social activities on the campus, this year
the class sponsored its most outstanding event
which was the Junior Prom, a highlight of the
social season at Fairmont State College.
So, it is with optimism that the Junior Class
looks forward to its most distinguished year upon
the campus, in which it hopes to raise the stand-
ards and ideals of Fairmont State College.

The Sophomore Class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-eight feels that it has the makings of one of the best classes
ever to attend Fairmont State Teachers College.At the beginning of the year it sponsored the annual Dad's
Day parade, game and dance. In spite of weather conditionsmost of the plans were carried out and the day was a successin every way.
The class has been outstanding in many fields of activity
during the year. Dramatics, athletics, and social functionshave had full and cooperative support from the Sophomoregroup.
It is the earnest desire of every member of the class to
aid in making Fairmont State Teachers College the best of thebest!

ORGANIZATIONS...
A very important phase of college life is the
extra-curricular activities, the honorary and
the social societies. These organizations aid
very much in developing loyalty, cooperation,
and a spirit of friendly rivalry, which tends to
develop those qualities that are admired by all.
These fraternities and clubs have ideals and
goals that make the organizations credits to
the school, and that develop friendliness and
brotherhood among the college people.
TAU BETA
IOTAThe Tau Beta Iota fraternity was founded on the
campus of Fairmont State Teachers College in
November, 1925. Since it was the first fraternal
organization to be established at Fairmont State
Teachers College its members have always worked
together, bound by undying bonds of brotherhood,
toward the common goal of higher social and scholas-
tic standards.
Membership in the organization can be obtained
only by meeting the rigid requirements which govern
prospective members in their period of pledging.
Chief among these requisites are, outstanding parti-
cipation in extra-curricular activities, attainment of
a high scholastic average, and character and reputa-
tion absolutely above reproach.
The fraternity has gained a reputation for its
outstanding social events, and also for its annual all-
male musical show written and directed by members
of the organization. Other activities of the year
include the T. B. I. Pep Campaign, Hallowe'en Party.
Turkey Dance, Christmas Dance, and annual Spring
Formal. It is a well known fact on the campus that
whenever a worthwhile project is started, a T. B. I.
is always lending active support.

CHI CHI
The Gamma Chi Chi sorority was organized in
November 1926, with six charter members. It was
the first sorority on the campus and its membership
the first year was limited to Morrow Hall girls. The
following year the members were chosen from the
ranks of the student body.
This organization endeavors to maintain a high
scholastic standing, and to take an active part in all
school activities. It has become traditional with the
sorority members to help with registration each
semester.
Traditional events which are held each year are,
the Fall Tea for faculty and sorority members, the
Winter formal, the Founders' Day Banquet, the
Minstrel, the Mother-Daughter banquet, the Spring
formal and the Farewell banquet.

PI
The Omricon Pi fraternity was organized in the
spring of 1927 and was recognized by the Student
Council January 10, 1928. Since that time it has
grown steadily and has become one of the outstand-
ing organizations on the campus.
Omricon Pi has been a pioneer in many worth-
while activities in college life and has never been a
laggard in supporting those good measures intro-
duced by others. The brothers of this fraternity
have continuously striven for the two highest ideals,
scholarship and felowship. In no other organization
has there been the constant feeling of brotherhood
which has survived in this fraternity since its origin.
This fraternity has endeavored to participate in
all campus activities and maintain its honor among
other groups.

Delta Sigma Epsilon appeared on this campus in
May, 1934, when the Beta Psi Beta Sorority became
nationally affiliated. Delta Sigma Epsilon was
founded at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, Septem-
ber 23, 1914; and has thirty-one active chapters.
The aims of the sorority are to establish the all-
embracing desire to stand out through consideration
of others. What cannot be obtained by fair methods
is not desirable. Honesty, integrity and unselfish-
ness win in the end.
The Colonial Tea in the fall honoring the faculty
and the St. Patrick's Day Tea-dance in the spring
honoring the other sororities and fraternities are the
outstanding social functions of the year.

The Zeta Sigma Fraternity is a national organiza-
tion without limits regarding the type of training
offered in college in which chapters may be organ-
ized.
It was founded at Beckley College in 1934. Since
then, chapters have rapidly spread from eastern

The West Virginia Alpha Chapter was chartered
in May 1935 and has been actively engaged in campus
activities since it was recognized by the Student
Council October 10, 1935.
The Fraternity's earnest desire is to give a group
of worthy young men an opportunity to enter into
the type of organization so essential to the individ-
ual's harmonious development while in college, and
this it has proudly accomplished.

The most important project that the Alpha chapter of
Alpha Psi Omega, National Honorary Dramatics Fraternity,undertook during the school year 1937-1938 was the sponsoringof the annual Speech Festival on our campus, in behalf of theWest Virginia Inter-Collegiate Speech Association. On March31, April 1, and April 2, most of the colleges of West Virginiasent representatives in the three speech events—extemporan-eous speaking, debates, and one-act plays. During these daysnumerous social events sponsored by the Masquers and thesociety honored the guests during the Festival.
Five Senior members of Alpha Psi Omega leave the stage
of Fairmont College this year to enter on the great stage of
"life". They are Brooks Higinbotham, Ted Thompson, ClaudeLawson, Mary Virginia Dowden. and Woodrow Sayre. All of
these actors have furnished Fairmont College audiences withinteresting moments of theatre during their four years at ourcollege and it is with genuine regret and best wishes that wesee them leave us.
Nu Alpha Phi, honorary French fraternity, was organizedas Nous Autres Francais in 1931 by students interested in
French. Its standing as an honorary fraternity was recognizedin March 1936 when the name of the society was changed. Theprimary purpose of the organization is to offer encouragementand opportunity to French honor students to speak French, andto stimulate an active interest in this language and the nationwhich uses it.
The accomplishment of this aim was furthered by the pre-sentation of a program in French for the student body, by thecontinuance of the "French Corner" in the Columns and by a
tea given in February. Nu Alpha Phi is quickly taking its
place as one of the outstanding fraternities on the campus.

This organization, more informally known as the Letter-
man's Club, was organized in 1935. It was originated by the
young men who had been awarded school letters by the Ath-
letic Council, for their outstanding participation in athletics.
This organization was founded for a four-fold purpose: to
interpret the purpose of athletics in Fairmont State Teachers
College as it is recognized by the administration, to give awards
for athletic service; to create higher social and academic
standards among fellow athletes, and to bring the athletic
department closer to the student body and the faculty.
This fraternity also publishes the annual "Dad's Day" foot-
ball program and acts as host at the Football Student Mix.

Under the direction of Glenn Arnett and themanagement of Orin Ford, the Maroon and WhiteBand has gained much recognition on parade andin concerts.
The support given to the band by its loyal ad-
viser, Miss Blanche Price, has done much to con-tribute to its success.

The dramatic season of 1937-1938 at Fairmont State Teach-
ers College, as sponsored by the Masquers Club, included four
three-act plays of a varied nature. On November 22, 23, and
24, Brooks Higinbotham played the leading role of "Uncle
Tom's Cabin," an old-time melodrama. The second play
"Everyman" played a revival after five years on January 17
and 18, with Lloyd Bennett, a freshman, acquitting himself
very satisfactorily in the title role. The third production was"Whistling In The Dark," a comedy melodrama of moderngangster life. Harold Scott, a sophomore, played the leading
role, and Jack, Corrothers and Eldon Montgomery played out-
standing roles. The fourth and last produclion, May 10, was"Fresh Fields," a modern comedy. All of these major pro-
ductions were directed by Mr. L. A. Wallman.
The Masquers entrant for the Speech Festival, which was
held here March 31, April 1 and 2, was Lynn Rigg's one-act
comic episode of Oklahoma, "Knives From Syria." The cast
was composed of Claude Lawson, Florena Evans, Charles
Armstrong, and Mabel Everly, who was named on the All-
State Cast by the Critic Judge, Mr. Buell C. Whitehill, of the
University of Pittsburgh.

ATHLETICS
Athletics at Fairmont State Teachers Col-
lege is what one might expect to rind in Utopia,
not evident from undefeated seasons, but that
representing a friendly spirit and good will.
The lesson which the athlete learns of fair
play and honesty will be one to carry over into
any occupation which he may pursue. Partici-
pation in athletics serves to build character
and mental strength as well as physical
staminia.
Since Jasper H. Colebank came to Fair-
mont as athletic director and head coach in
1924, the "Fighting Teachers" have become an
institution in themselves, and one in which we
take the utmost pride.
-Robert B. Moran '39
JASPER COLEBANKAthletic Coach
This trio of hard-working individuals
answered the every need of the football
team, both on and off the gridiron. HeadCoach Jasper Colebank has been here
so long that writers have run out of
new things to say about him. All the
Mound staff wishes to say is that it
hopes he stays here twice as long as he
already has been here.
Charles Fortney captained the
"Fighting Teachers" this past fall in a
most capable fashion and is deserving of
every honor bestowed upcn him. TomManley, the team's manager, carried out
his duties in a par excellence mannerand Coach Colebank's only hope is that
he has prepared an assistant as capable
as he has been this year.
John Rendel Thomas, better knownas "Benny", was a valuable man as as-
sistant coach and we cannot tell you in
words how we appreciate your efforts.
May you be with us again next fall.

CHARLES FORTNEY, End"Charlie" captained the team in his fourth year as a
regular. Fortney make a habit of playing hard clean foot-
ball and it was a treat to see him at terminal. He will beamong the missing when the next season opens.
ALBERT FULTZ, Fullback
"Buzzy" completed his fourth season as a regular underthe Colebank regime in a most capable fashion. Fultz didthe bulk of the punting and passing and did his share of
the ball-carrying in a spectacular manner. His absencenext fall will be noticed.
RICHARD WARE, Center
"Dick" played his second season for the Colebankersand turned in a good performance on all occasions. Goodcenters are not a rarity here, but if possible Ware shouldreceive a higher ranking for his excellent work.
WILLIS DAVIS, Halfback
"Davey" could pick the holes with the best of backsand was an adept pass-receiver on all occasions. His runsfrom punt formation and line thrusts earned him well de-served laurels on all sides.
HAROLD DUVALL, Quarterback
"Deacon" climaxed a brilliant career under the Maroonand White banner and turned in his most valuable seasonthis past fall. Duvall was the local speed merchant andcaused our opponents' many heartaches.
SAMUEL GRAKE, Guard"Sam," a diminutive powerhouse, was one of the spark-
plugs of the team. Always a heady player, Grake could b?found in there playing a steady and consistent brand of
ball throughout the season.
EDMUND DILLINGHAM, Halfback
"Ed" was another sophomore who answered the call to
arms in a brilliant way. He showed more dash than everbefore and was always feared by the opposition. His block-ing paved the way for the speedier backs.
DAVID ROWAND, Guard"Dave" played a sparkling brand of ball in his first year
under the Maroon and White Banner. His defensive workwas a highlight of the year, and his ability to open up holes
on the offensive a treat for the spectators.
ELLIS ENOCH, End"Bud" saw some fine work as a substitute in this, his
first year with the "Fighting Teachers." Not greatlyheralded in advance notices, Enoch caused the coaches to
open their eyes with his work on the end of the line.
ANGELO CRESCENZI, Tackle
"Angie," a husky lad, came through with flying colors
this season and his brilliant performance and head workearned him the captaincy of next fall's eleven. Crescenziwill make the "Fighting Teachers" a real leader.
JUNE ANDRICK, GuardThis lad was one of Coley's most adept pupils and a
hard-working lineman. His aggressiveness and active headwork garnered June many laurels on the gridiron. He'll beback too.
JAMES OWEN, Tackle
"Jimmy" landed a berth on' the first string this seasonand fulfilled Coach Colebank's expectations in a worthymanner. A giant in stature, Owen was a bulwark in everydepartment of the game.
Coaches Jasper Colebank and "Benny" Thomas had sevenmembers of the 1936 eleven on hand at the start of the season,but injuries and a late start in pre-season practice nullifiedwhat might have been a highly successful season for theMaroon and White.
Bare statistics do not altogether speak for themselves con-cerning this gridiron machine. Although the "FightingTeachers" chalked up but one victory, tied another, and lost
five games during the season the team was regarded as a"comer" and big things are expected for F. S. T. C. on thegridiron in 1938.
FAIRMONT 0; GLENVILLE 27A big fast-charging eleven from Gilmer county scored in
each of the four quarters and capitalized on all but one scoringopportunity to take a 27-0 victory from the Colebankers in theopening game of the season. Edwards' 62-yard gallop for atally was the longest run of the game.
FAIRMONT 0; CONCORD 13
Jimmy Callaghan's powerful Mountain Lions took ad-vantage of numerous penalties and several 'breaks' of thegame to upset the locals in the second tilt of the year playedat Athens. A steady downpour of rain handicapped the Fair-mont passing attack. Concord's scores were made in the open-ing period and in the final seconds of play.
FAIRMONT 7; CALIFORNIA 9
An automatic safety in the first quarter spelled defeat for
the Maroon and White after both elevens scored a touchdownin the second quarter. In 1936 the two machines battled to ascoreless tie. and this fall's game was clearly a toss-up for
supremacy.
FAIRMONT 0; SHEPHERDThe Fighting Teachers failed to win their next game by
virtue of an act of fate when they rolled up 13 first downs to
none for the Rams, but still were only able to come out witha scoreless tie. The local outfit ran up over 200 yards fromscrimmage and tossed the visitors for a yard loss, but a ruggedShepherd defense prevented a Fairmont tally.
FAIRMONT 6; SALEMIn the "biggest" game of the year on foreign soil, the
Teachers nosed out a scrappy Salem Tiger team by a single
touchdown margin. An aerial from Fultz to Duvall accountedfor the game's only score late in the second quarter, while astone-wall defense by the Colebankers prevented any Salemscoring.
FAIRMONT 13; WEST LIBERTY 14
The Maroon and White lost their final home game of theseason when Joe Bartell's machine nosed them out, 14 to 13.
after a thrill-packed tussle. The contest was marked by manylong runs and passes that kept a crowd in an uproar through-out the game. Kuznicki for the Hilltoppers and Duvall for
Fairmont each tallied two touchdowns.
FAIRMONT 0; POTOMAC STATE 32
A swivel-hipped halfback by the na.ne of Harley Kuhlspelled defeat for the Fighting Teachers whan ha scored threetouchdowns on spectacular runs after tallying on the openingplay of the game on a 60-yard jaunt. The Catamounts con-tinued to shake Kuhl loose for touchdown runs, and withGoodwin and Gruber adding a score each, the final gun foundthe Colebankers on the short end of a 42-0 count.
FAIRMONT 0; BETHANY 12
One completed pass and another intercepted aerial pro-vided John Knight's Bisons with a victory over the Fairmontmachine in the final game of the year. The Bethany gridiron
was a snow-covered field that kept running attacks down to
a minimum.
BASKETBALLHarold (Deacon) Duvall led the "Fighting Teach-
ers" through the 1937-38 basketball season in a highly
successful manner. His brilliant ability inspired the
team on to greater heights on many occasions while
his natural ability as a leader filled the breech in the
"clutch." "Deacon" made this, his fourth season as a
regular, his most worthy year for the cage quintet.
Besides playing a veritable air-tight defensive game,
Duvall was the team's second highest scorer, tally-
ing well over 200 points from his guard position.
Fraley Louden was an ideal basketball manager
last winter and administered to the needs of the
squad in a capable style. His cheery manner and
clever personality were an added asset to the team,
while needless to say he handled the financial and
other tasks efficiently.

Reading from left to right and front to back, the 1937-38 Fairmont State College basketball squadincludes:
Front Row—Glenn Teets, Albert Fultz, Capt. Harold Duvall, Ed Billingham, Willis Davis, ManagerFraley Louden.
Back Row—Blaine Ankrom, Jake Murphy, Ned Pence, Bill Thompson, Dick Ware, and CoachJasper Colebank.
HAROLD DUVALL, GuardThe captain of the Colebankers was "Deacon" Duvall, a
fast, clever worker who was instrumental in many of thelocals' victories. His sharpshooting ability coupled with anuncanny knack of being able to foresee the opponents' move-ments made Duvall a great guard for Coach Colebank. A four-letter man, Duvall graduates in high honor from athletic wars.
ALBERT FULTZ, GuardHere is a player who will go down in the annals of F. S.
T. C. history as one of the outstanding basketball players toever don a Maroon and White uniform. "Buzzy" played fourseasons of brilliant basketball and climaxed his cage careerthis season by leading the team in scoring when he looped inwell over 200 points from his position at guard. His absencewill be keenly felt in every field of athletics.
RICHARD WARE, Center
A late start in practice handicapped "Dick" in landing aregular berth on the team, but he saw some valuable serviceand gave a good account of himself on many occasions. Beingambidextrious helped Ware out-wit his opponents in manygames. He'll be back too.
WILLIAM THOMPSON. Forward"Bill", a freshman, was a part-time regular from the start
of the season and handled himself expertly at all times. Hislightning-fast work on the floor enabled him to out-maneuverhis opponents in caging many a two-pointer. Over 150 pointswere marked up for this lad during the season's tour.
EDMUND BILLINGHAM, Guard"Ed" was handicapped by his slight build, but neverthe-
less made good his boast to "make" the team this year. Al-though a guard at heart, Ed made Coach Colebank a depend-able forward. Not a high-scoring eager, Billingham could belooked forward to doing his share of the work and a little
more.
GLENN TEETS, ForwardThe fastest man on the team was the diminutive former
Aurora flash. Glenn failed to land a first string position, butgave his best when called to fill the breech in a substitute role.
Only a sophomore, Teets will gather his laurels in the comingyears.
BLAINE ANKROM, Forward"Ank" played a sparkling brand of ball throughout the
season and on several occasions his brilliant work earned himstarting assignments. A hard worker, Ankrom's aggressive-
ness accounted for many of the "Fighting Teacher" scoresfrom beneath the hoop.
WILLIS DAVIS, Farward
Fast and of stocky build, Willis saw much service duringthe season. Although he failed to get in every game Davisturned in good performances whenever called upon, and shouWbe in a varsity suit next winter.
NED PENCE Cent-r
Here's another freshman who landed a regular berth fromthe start of the season. His heighth was valuable to the teamin work beneath the hoop, and his defensive work was anasset to him. The next three years should bring added laurels
to this future star.
TENNIS
The Tennis Team of Fairmont State College, due to the
weather, played only five of the nine matches that werescheduled to be played. Of these they won one.
The team had four players from the previous year, these
being Orin Ford, the Captain, Harold Duvall, the No. 1 man,
Charles Witt, the No. 4 man, and George Williamson, a senior,
the No. 3 man.
The rest of the team was composed of new men, who look
very promising for the coming year, these being Blankenship,
Reed, Sharp, and Powell.
Coach C. A. Lindley has built up a team which has all the
promises of being able to stand up against any college team
of the state. Due to the inability of some of the outstanding
players to participate in the matches and the inexperience of
the others, they were not so successful in winning their
matches, but in every match the boys put up grand fights.

BASEBALL
INCLEMENT weather prevented the baseball nine
from getting the proper amount of pre-seasontraining, but, nevertheless, Coach Jasper Colebankwas able to mold together a nine that displayed a
clever brand of ball throughout the season. Onlyfour members of the 1936 varsity were on hand for
positions, while the remainder of the lineup waschosen from good first-year material. And, despite
the fact that the team went through a six-game sea-
son without a single triumph, the nine fought witha will and proved that they were real "FightingTeachers."
As a nucleus for the club, Coach Colebank hadVeterans Bernie Joyce, Buzzy Fultz, Paul Kundratik,and Charles Fortney returning to the diamond for
another year. Joyce and Kundratik held down in-
field berths along with Lou Piccola and JimmyBarry, while Fultz guarded the outfield along withWillis Davis, Glenn Teets, Orval Hammon, and LeoRoberts. Fortney was behind the plate, while "Cow-boy" Duling, Jimmy Owen, and Denver Wotringturned in some clever work on the mound alongwith Outfielder Fultz.
The nine this spring is expected to be a real
machine with practically all of last season's team onand, and the host of new stars will likely boost thelocal baseball stock.

THE CAMPUS DAY BOOK...
Let's take a brief squint at the happenings on the
campus, which have somewhat eased the continuous
grind of classes. (We hope it was continuous.)
Freshmen registration was held on Sept. 13, on
the fourteenth those of us who were fortunate
enough to be upper classmen (or were we?) found
ourselves duly registered students.
On Sept. 24 the Student Body gave a Student Mixand it certainly was a "mix." We were so mixed up
we did not know who we came with. (Come to think
of it maybe we weren't with anyone.) The T. B. I.'s
and Gammas entertained with an expense dance;
'mid the corn and hay a "Hay" of a good time was
had by all.
Dad's had their day on the 23, but I wonder whohad the best time at the dance? The only dad we sawat the dance was Vance Trimble.
Orchids to the Gammas for their lovely tea of
Nov. 5, the faculty and organizations were well en-
tertained even though it was formal.
The T. B. I. Turkey Dance was enjoyed by all
who attended. On the 24th we could all breathe
freely. Reason: Thanksgiving Holidays.
The Christmas season didn't pass without somecelebrations, namely the Omicron Pi closed party,
Zeta Sigma closed party, T. B. I. Christmas dance,
the Alpha Delta Tea, Masquers banquet, GammaChristmas formal, and the Tri Sigma's closed party.
After the usual "wet" Christmas holidays we re-
turned on Jan. 3 to find the faculty still waiting for
us. (Cheerfully we hope.)
The T. B. I.'s closed party was so closed we still
have not heard about it.
Again on Jan. 31 we enrolled for the second
semester. The Alumna were guests at the Homecom-ing on the 11th of February, the first social event of
the second semester. We cannot skip over the monthof February without mentioning the Tri Sigma's
Valentine Tea which was given for the faculty and
organizations. The gals of Morrow Hall entertained
the promising young men of the campus at open
house on March 4.
The Gammas certainly handed it to the T. B. I.
boys did they not fellows, maybe they are right
after all, who knows?
We would like to congratulate the Masquers andAlpha Psi's for the way they delightfully entertained
the members of the speech conference.
As April rolls around we find the learned people
of the Kappa Delta Pi gathering here and somewonderful lectures were heard.
The Alpha Delt's completely overwhelmed us
with "H-e-r-e C-o-m-e-s T-h-e S-h-o-w-b-o-a-t."
April and May are in the near future, if, howeveryou want a detailed account of the formals, the Promand the other events there's ALWAYS Brooksie's
Column you know. (It's in the Columns.)
