Perceiv'st thou not the process of the year,
How the four seasons in four forms appear,
Resembling human life in ev'vy shape they wear?

Then, how merry are the times!

The Spring times! the Summer times! . . .

Now, how solemn are the times!

The Winter times! the Night times! . . .

Sing then, hopeful are all times!

Batar
Kappar

Fi Batar Kappar are "Spirit Makers". The strange looking
persons seen on campus and during sporting events are mem-
bers of the Fi Batar Kappar. Their job is to get the crowd as
"fired-up" as possible. Their old suits of a bathrobe, an ori-
ginal hat, and walking cane, give the group an altogether
different personality. The Fi Batar Kappar's try their best to
keep the morale up at every single game. We salute you.

Four things a man must learn to do
If he would make his record true:

To think without confusion clearly.
To love his fellowman sincerely,

To act from honest motives purely,

To trust in God and Heaven securely.

Appalackia

By Muriel Miller Dressier

I am Appalachia ! In my veins

Runs fierce mountain pride: the hill-fed streams

Of passion; and, stranger, you don't know me!

You've analyzed my every more - you still

Go away shaking your head. I remain

Enigmatic. How can you find rapport with me -

You, who never stood in the bowels of hell,

Never felt a mountain shake and open its jaws

To partake of human sacrifice?

You, who never stood on a high mountain,

Watching the sun unwind its spiral rays;

Who never searched the glens for wild flowers,

Never picked mayapples or black walnuts; never ran

Wildly through the woods in pure delight,

Nor dangled your feet in a lazy creek?

You, who never danced to wild sweet notes,

Outpourings of nimble -fingered fiddlers;

Who never just "sat a spell" on a porch,

Chewing and whittling; or hearing in pastime

The deep-throated bay of chasing hounds

And hunters shouting with joy, "he's treed!"

You, who never once carried a coffin

To a family plot high upon a ridge

Because mountain folk know it's best to lie

Where breezes from the hills whisper, "you're home";

You, who never saw from the valley that graves on a hill

Bring easement of pain to those below?

I tell you, stranger, hill folk know

What life is all about; they don't need pills

To tranquilize the sorrow and joy of living.

I am Appalachia: and stranger,

Though you've studied me, you still don't know.

Autographed copy of "Appalachia" was presented to the Mary F. Shipper
Library and hangs in the study area on the Mezzanine.

Oh, Cat-a-mounts, we're here be-side you,
We'll al-ways stand for you and cheer,
With all our spir-it here behind you,
No teams of ours should ev-er fear.

Come on and fight and win for State, boys,
Our col-ors, Gold and Blue, they'll see.
And you will Fight, Fight, Men of Might,
