2 Opening
For 105 years, the Wesleyan com-
munity has taken pride in its offer-
ing of friendliness and good will
among its students. A diversified
student body, from 33 states and
24 foreign countries, lived, worked,
and studied together in a family-
like atmosphere. Consistently,
Wesleyan students strived for ex-
cellence in the classroom, on the
field, or in extracurricular activi-
ties. The Wesleyan classic experi-
ence was inseparable from the ca-
maraderie among its student body.

vPERIENCE
Wesleyan Students joined to-
gether throughout the year to help
others either on or off campus.
Students developed their leader-
ship and volunteerism skills from
their experiences with such ac-
tivities as Habitat for Humanity,
tutoring, Make a Difference Day,
Christmas on Campus, and the
Parish House. While helping oth-
ers, Wesleyan students also expe-
rienced a special bond amongst
themselves as they worked to-
gether. This special bond became
part of Wesleyan's unique Classic
Experience.

CLASSIC
lAMERADIK
Traditional activities, such as Ori-
entation, Homecoming, and Hang-
ing of the Greens, continued to
serve as the foundation for life
outside the classroom during the
fall semester, but they added new
twists of their own. Awards and
graduation events were the focus
of spring semester. Theatrical
productions for both semesters
added their own unique flavor to
campus life. Regardless of the
event, students were reminded of
Wesleyan's heritage through these
classic experiences.

ORIENTATION
Welcome to Vvesleycirt
he arrival of a new day, a
new year, and a new fresh-
man class were signs that
the day that had been an-
ticipated for so long had
finally come. The new stu-
dents and their parents
were given a warm wel-
come in the form of ban-
ners lining Main Street of
Buckhannon. Soon they
began to move t.v.'s, re-
frigerators, carpets, and
tons of clothing into the
living quarters to be
known as home for the
next four years. Convoca-
tion and seminar group
meetings were held before
the parents finally left for
home. The next few
days were filled with ac-
tivities. The up-beat
Playfair, watching Inter-
view With A Vampire in
the Chapel Oval, dessert
at seminar leaders' homes,
registration, and the highly
competitive and always ex-
citing Wesleyan Olympics
were among the plethora
of activities in which the
Class of 1999 participated.
However, reality, and
classes, were about to be-
gin. Life at West Virginia
Wesleyan had started with
a classic beginning.

et in the early years of the
Great Depression, The Di-
viners, takes place in the
homes, fields, and gather-
ing sites around the mythi-
cal town of Zion, Indiana.
The plot is set around
Buddy Layman, a mentally
challenged youngster who
refuses to go near water
after having seen his
mother drown. Buddy (Lisa
Roop) is befriended by a
former minister who the
locals believe is a signal
from the Lord that religion
has returned to Zion. The
play ends with a remarkably
dramatic scene, effective
through the use of lights and
stage design.
December brought
about the opening of an al-
ternative performance space
in the former Jenkins Dining
Hall. Bobby Gould in Hell,
directed by F. Michael Poast,
and A Doll's House, 1970, di-
rected by Shadya Ballug,
were the two one-act plays
that inaugurated the new
arena, which allowed for
more imaginative and var-
ied performances.

r"it?st Clclss Activities
isitors to Wesleyan on the
first Saturday in Decem-
ber might wonder what
hundreds of children were
doing on campus. No, they
weren't prospective stu-
dents getting a head start
on their college search;
they were participating in
"Christmas on Campus".
With the aid of vol-
unteer tour guides, chil-
dren from all over the
Buckhannon area partici-
pated in numerous holiday
activities around campus.
With so many organiza
tions participating, it was dif-
ficult for each group to do
everything, but many young-
sters could be seen making
Santa mobiles, creating
marshmellow snowmen, or
decorating Christmas cook-
ies. Sponsoring organiza-
tions, such as CLC , Wesleyan
Service Corps, SNEA, and
various other campus
groups, worked to develop
activities that children would
enjoy. The highlight of the
day was talking with Santa.
Happy faces made the
effort put forth by the organi-
zations that participated well
worth it.

FESTIVITIES
"A CLclssIc CelebrcttLort
raditions of "Hanging of the
Greens" and "Festival of
Lessons and Carols" were
two holiday events which
gave Wesleyan a classic
feeling around the holiday
season.
Early in December
members of the Wesleyan
community gathered in
Kresge to fill chickenwire
tubing with aromatic
branches of pine. Eventu-
ally the tubings were trans-
ported to the balcony of
Wesley Chapel where they
were tied. Although the
work was messy and hard, it
was well worth seeing the
beautiful greens and smell
ing the scent of pine upon
entering the Chapel.
Now that the Chapel
was in full array, "Festival oi
Lessons and Carols" could
proceed. On the first Sunday
in December, students, fac-
ulty, and friends filled Wesley
Chapel to hear the Christ
mas story, both in word, by
members of the Wesleyan
community, and in song, by
Concert Chorale, Wesleyan
Singers, and Chapel Choir.

two weekends of a filled

ents of Mrs. Mushnik
(Megan Pucillo), Seymour
(Tommy Schoffler), and
Audrey (Suzy Lennox).
Jenkins Arena was
the site for April's produc-
tion of Loot, directed by
Natalie Panaia. The story
of a youth who conceals
money from a bank robbery
in his mother's casket and
tries to hide the deceased's
body is complicated as the
entire household is brought
into the quirky situation.
Student Director
Mike Mozer presented The
Nerd in early May, starring
Dr. Anthony Davies, Dr.
Chip Keating, and Mark
Norman. The entire cast
created an uproar in
Atkinson, complete with a
dinner party gone awry and

wo very important nurs-

this year to recognize the
progress of nursing stu-
dents. They were Sopho-
more Capping in the fall
and Senior Pinning in the
spring. These ceremonies
served as stepping stones,
which marked a signifi-
cant move in status for the
nursing students.
In the fall, sopho-
mores accepted into the
program participated in
the Capping Ceremony.
They were given specially
designed caps that repre-
sented characteristics of
faith, love, and charity. This
presentation marked their
official induction into the
West Virginia Wesleyan
College Nursing Program.
In the spring, seniors
who had met the require-
ments for their degree were
"pinned." This pin repre-
sented their admission into
the professional nursing
practice. The ceremony
also gave the seniors a
chance to bid farewell to
their friends and fellow stu-
dents and to share their ac-
complishments with their
families.

tudents have often said,
"College would be great
without classes!" As much
as they may have wanted
that wish to come true, it
never became reality.
However, activities, which
had become an integral
part of life on Wesleyan's
campus, took away the
stress of classes. Involve-
ment in organizations,
performinggroups, Greek
life, athletics, and numer-
ous other social events
helped keep students and
faculty on the go.
Campus Activities
Board (CAB), an organiza-
tion committed to creating
a social atmosphere on
campus, provided students
with various activities in
which to participate. CAB
supported stand-up come-
dians, ski trips, and movie
showings in Hyma, as well
as provided musical acts
like "Brownie Mary." Stu-
dent activities were not lim-
ited to campus, either.

CHAMPION
Wesleyan's athletes proved
themselves superior in the state of
West Virginia. Even though ath-
letic department trophy cases
were full of awards, Wesleyan ath-
letes and coaches refused to sit on
their laurels. In addition to nu-
merous individual awards, sports
teams boasted many titles that
recognized their hard work. Wes-
leyan was a powerful force with an
astounding 11 out of 16 WVIAC
championships. The four champi-
onships in Men's and Women's
Cross-Country and Track marked
a first in not only Wesleyan's his-
tory, but in the history of the
WVIAC as well. Each of these vic-
tories in athletics represented the
classic champion of Wesleyan.

WOMEN'S SOCCER
ALMOSTTHERE
One would assume
that in a 16-game season
when a team does not lose
until the fifteenth game
that post-season play is im-
minent. In the case of
women's soccer and the
team's 12-1-3 record,
however, that assumption
would be incorrect.
Not making nation-
als in the team's first year
in Division II was the only
disappointment that Libby
Tobin suffered during her
first year as head coach.
"We deserved to play at
nationals, so it was hard
and disappointing to not
make it."
Blending veteran
experience with youthful
talent was an ob j ective that
was attacked with fervor
and success. With only
three seniors in Cathrine
Olsby, Keara Kilpatrick,
and Tara Dejmal, there
was a lot of pressure on
the freshmen.
Two of the top four
scorers were newcomers
Rena Lippa with 18 points
and Juli Hanrath with 16.
Two other freshmen, Pam
Gale and Stacey Adams,
also contributed to the
team. Gale had 10 points
while Adams, the goal-
keeper, allowed only nine
goals in 16 games and had
a hand in all 1 1 shutouts.
Jenny Newkirk led
the squad in scoring with
20 points and she was
named honorable mention
All-Northeast Region.
Olsby closed out her stel-
lar career with 16 points.
Exclusion from nationals
was frustrating, but Coach
Tobin's spirit remained
strong: "Individuals
raised their level of play
and I'm looking forward
to next year."

MEN'S SOCCER
ACAIN$TALLODDS
High expectations
and injuries were common
as the men's soccer team
followed a 1994 NAIA Na-
tional Championship with
a WVIAC title.
Because of the
NCAA Division II post-sea-
son format, it was vital for
the 'Cats to win practi-
cally all of their matches.
Injuries to Dane Street,
Brad Leszczynski, and Rob
Harradine crippled the
team from the opening
weekend. Many inexperi-
enced players were forced
to compete against a diffi-
cult schedule.
Giving the season
up for dead was a possibil-
ity after a 5-7 start, but
leaders such as Wilco
Ravestyn, Tom Ulbraten,
and David Burgess would
not allow that. The 8-0-1
surge to end the season
proved that to Head Coach
Gavin Donaldson: "The
streak at the end showed a
lot of character. It con-
vinced me that even with
an inconsistent line-up, we
could play with anyone."
All-WVIAC and
All-Region performers
Ulbraten, Burgess, and
especially Ravestyn, keyed
the unbeaten streak that
ended with a 2-0 defeat of
Charleston in the title
game. Ravestyn was the
leading scorer with 36
points on 1 6 goals and four
assists. Ulbraten netted
nine goals and assisted
eight others for 26 points.
First-year goalkeeper
Carlos Rudolph played
superbly by allowing 18
goals in 16 games.
Despite injuries
and bad luck, the 'Cats
showed the necessary
character to win a title in a
season worth saving.

&0&CAT VOLLEYBALL
STILL THE BEST
Just when it was
thought that the volleyball
program had reached its
peak through the NAIA,
the women finished 39-3
and fifth in the nation in a
higher division.
After a ninth-place
finish in the 1994 NAIA
Tournament, there were
hopes for a solid finish in
the team's inaugural
NCAA Division II season:
"I'm not surprised by our
success," said Head Coach
Tia Brandel, "but every-
one else seems to be."
Arguably the most
prepared Bobcat team to
enter Division II athletics,
the team has maintained
one of the most impres-
sive streaks in the nation.
The team's 80-match
WVIAC winning streak is
the longest active in Divi-
sion II, and the second
longest of all-time . The last
time the women lost to a
conference opponent was
in the championship of
1990. five full seasons ago.
Great coaches
must combine with great
players for a winning pro-
gram, and this season was
no exception. Four seniors
provided leadership and
fine play, while a host of
younger talent carried the
statistical load.
Becca Fleshman,
Afarin Shahidi, Carly
Pariseau, and Marti Wiblin
played their final matches
in orange and black. Un-
derclassmen such as Kelly
Sabol, Susan Wren, and
Julie Kasprzak provided a
strong foundation for the
future.
"It's going to be
difficult to stay on top,"
Brandel said. "It will take
a lot of energy and sup-
port to keep us there."

CROSS-COUNTRV
TWICE AS NICE
With surprisingly
dominant women and typi-
cally dominant men, the
cross-country teams
claimed the rare distinc-
tion of dual WVIAC cham-
pions and also did well in
regional competition.
Five out of the
seven top women dawned
the orange and black for
the first time, and four of
the five earned all-WVIAC
honors. The top finisher
was Summer Finnigan in
second place, who finished
just 19 seconds out of first.
Newcomer Carrie
Holdinsky crossed the line
in fourth, and fellow rook-
ies Rebecca Farrington,
Heather Young, and
Heather Zakrzewski fin-
ished fifth, seventh, and
eighth, respectively. Their
season closed with a 14th
place finish in the region.
Performing as ex-
pected was the men's
team. They won their sec-
ond consecutive confer-
ence title. Eric Chandler
won the meet for the sec-
ond year. Chandler was
also named "Runner of the
Year" for the second time .
Four more 'Cats
claimed all-WVIAC hon-
ors and finished third,
fourth, and fifth. Bill
Carney, Chris Sappey, and
Derek Finigan closed out
the top five and Sawne
Armstrong crossed the
line eighth. Their season
ended with a sixth-place
finish at regionals.
Head Coach Jesse
Skiles was ecstatic about
both teams and said that
whatever happened at
regionals was an added
bonus: "These teams had
a shot. This is our first time
in Division II, so whatever
we do will be a record."

30&CAT FOOTBALL -
ATTHETOPC^
Three short years is
all that it took to lead Bobcat
football to the peak of the
WVIAC mountain. By finish-
ing 8-2 the gridders claimed
their first conference title in
33 seasons.
Two plays illustrated
the character of the confer-
ence champions, a team
which saw starting quarter-
back Larry Drugmand in-
jured after the third game.
Play number one occurred in
that game when Eric Myers
converted an impossible 43-
yard rain-soaked field goal in
the closing seconds. Perform-
ing well under extreme pres-
sure became a common oc-
currence.
The second play was
the most exciting, since it
came with the title and an
undefeated home record on
the line. Down 26-31 against
West Liberty, the squad had
over half a field to cover in 50
seconds. On fourth down
quarterback Scott Gasper hit
a streaking Robert Epps for a
43-yard gain. Gasper com-
pleted the comeback with a
15-yard pass to star receiver
Brian Dugan.
Gasper took control
of the offense immediately
when he threw for 382 yards
in his first collegiate start.
Beginning with WV Tech,
Gasper led the 'Cats to six
straight wins: "It was an op-
portunity and I felt I was
ready," said Gasper. "Ihada
lot to prove to myself and ev-
eryone else."
With a 22-8 record the
last three seasons, the entire
team proved it could regain
its prominence in the WVIAC.

WOMEN'S TENNIS
A FRESH START
Replacing four
starters with four fresh-
men does not provoke op-
timism, but do not tell that
to the women's tennis
team. The squad battled
injuries and adversity to
finish 9-2 and third in the
WVIAC.
Nobody faced
more hardship this sea-
son than second seed Jen-
nifer Cole. After injuring
her right arm, Cole had to
learn to play and serve
left-handed. Miracu-
lously, Cole finished with
a 7-3 singles record and
teamed up with Alicia
Abreu for a 7-4 doubles
mark.
Abreu, as the top
seed, found difficult com-
petition and ended with a
singles record of 4-8. The
third-sixth seeds were
freshmen, and they per-
formed like seasoned vet-
erans. Finding the most
success in the WVIAC
Tournament was fourth
seed Aubryn Falk, who
made the finals before los-
ing in three sets. Falk ended
the campaign with a 12-3
mark, and combined with
Simone Williams for an 1 1 -
2 doubles record.
Third seed Susan
Harris had a solid rookie
season by finishing 10-4 in
singles. In doubles she
played with fifth seed
Maryann Narutowicz and
recorded an 11-2 mark.
Sixth seed Jessica Foreman
closed out the top six as
she tallied 13 wins in 15
singles matches.
Head Coach James
Smith was surprised by this
team's success: "With
four newcomers and all the
injuries, this team defi-
nitely accomplished more
than I thought it would."

YOUTHFUL VIGOR
Sophomore elementary education ma-
jor Carrie Newcomb heads for the bas-
ket as one of her "Lady Blues" oppo-
nents looks on.
Senior leadership
and youthful vigor led the
Bobcat women's basketball
team to a 14-14 record, 12-7
in the conference.
Seniors Cathy
Koenig, Lisa Roberts, and
Tonya Wharton provided
strong play and leadership,
while freshmen Christina
Jost and Amanda Rafferty
sparked the squad late in
the season. Sophomore Car-
rie Newcomb. as well as jun-
iors Lina Robinson and Jen-
nifer Skinner, also steadied
play both inside and outside.
An integral part of
the streak was Koenig, who
finished her stellar career
by earning a place in the
record books. Koenigmoved
into third place on
Wesleyan's all-time scoring
list and into first place in
career rebounds. This sea-
son she averaged 15.9 points
and nine rebounds, both of
which led the team.
Roberts continued
hertrend of improving each
year by averaging 12.9
points and eight rebounds.
Wharton had her finest of-
fensive season by averag-
ing 5.7 points, due mostly to
improved shooting. She
also led the squad in steals
with 2.5 per game.
Robinson's 8.6
points per game was third
on the team, as was her 7.2
rebounding average. Jost
acted as the lone three-
point threat, while Rafferty
hit numerous perimeter
shots late in the season.
With the graduation
of three key players, the
stage is set for a changing
of the guard. Robinson and
Skinner will be the lone
seniors, and it is their lead-
ership that will be com-
bined with the youthful
vigor.

Shawn Green heads toward the basket
for one of his signature dunks. His height
and build gave him a good advantage on

Overcoming ob-
stacles was the trademark
of the Bobcat basketball
team. The squad pulled to-
gether, winning three out of
its last five games to finish
with a record of 9-17, 7-12 in
the conference.
The most difficult
time was in the preseason,
when freshman Aaron Jack-
son died in an automobile
accident . Performing well in
his memory became an in-
spiration to remaining play-
ers. Seniors Milt Coleman,
Chad Anderson, and Mike
McNeill came forward as
leaders when they were
neededmost.Anotherprob-
lem was a season-ending
knee injury to Tal Thomp-
son.
On the court, the
players were finding an
identity as the first semes-
ter came to a close. Unfortu-
nately, two players were
unable to return after
Christmas and two others
were suspended until late
in the season. Still the team
battled, and players such
as Alfie Brody and J.J.
Thorn proved to be quality
starters.
A highlight was the
play of forward Cameron
Mack, who was named to
the all-conference second
team. Mack averaged 17.3
points, 8.2 rebounds, and
led the team in blocks.
Anderson, Coleman, and
Thorn each averaged 10
points from the guard posi-
tion. Guard Kevin Smiley
played in 16 games, aver-
aging 12.4 points.

TOP RANKED
After finding success
in the NAIA ranks,
Wesleyan's program rose to
prominence in the NCAA
Division II as the men fin-
ished 21st and the women
22nd. Both squads earned
accolades in the WVI AC and
Penn-Ohio conferences.
The women were led
by Pattie Collom and Stacy
Brown, both of whom rep-
resented the team at nation-
als. The squad became first
to win both the WVIAC and
Penn-Ohio crowns in the
same season. Collom was
named the WVIAC Swim-
mer of the Year with one
first and two second place
finishes as the women took
the victory by 145.5 points.
Four other swim-
mers were named All-
WVIAC with individual
meet victories. Brown was
victorious in the 200-yard
backstroke: Jill Collette
won the 200-yard butterfly;
Shannon McKinney took
the 1000-yard freestyle
crown; and Karen Brown
triumphed in the 200-yard
individual medley.
The men finished
third in both the WVIAC and
Penn-Ohio conferences as
the squad was paced by a
pair of champions. Scott
Olson, who won two WVIAC
events, was the lone mem-
ber of the team to qualify
for nationals. Olson quali-
fied in the 200-yard breast-
stroke, but also competed
in the 1650-yard freestyle.
He was the 1995 NAIA na-
tional champion in the 1650.
Mike Kelton was the
other man to earn All-
WVIAC honors as he won
the 200-yard backstroke.
Kelton's crowning achieve-
ment came when he was
named Swimmer of the

letic Conference (WVIAC)
by bringing home its fifth
consecutive conference
title and sixth in seven
years. The powerful Bob-
cat women swept the tour-
nament in Summersville,
scoring four consecutive
shutouts over Concord
College, Salem-Teikyo,
and Alderson-Broaddus
twice. Failure to be invited
to post-season regional
competition was the
team's only blemish to an
incredible 37-6 season that
broke several NCAA Divi-
sion II and WVIAC records
in both offensive and de-
fensive categories.
Leading the Bob-
cats on defense was 1996
WVIAC Pitcher of the Year
Angela "Tex" Demel. Scor-
ing 325 strikeouts placed
her sixth all-time in NCAA
Division II. Also into the
record books went her 20
shutouts, four perfect
games, and 34-5 record.
On offense, the
front four in the batting
order pummeled oppo-
nents. Shortstop Nancy
Stonestreet whacked 59
hits to lead the team and
earn the WVIAC Player of
the Year award for the sec-
ond consecutive season.
Third baseman Amy
Wilfong racked up 54 RBIs
while batting .487 to lead
the conference in both cat-
egories. Freshman Keri
Russell and senior Amy
Andrews provided an ad-
ditional 87 combined
hits, and along with
Stonestreet and Wilfong,
were selected WVIAC All-
Conference.

CALL TO GLORY
Wesleyan's base-
ball team won its fourth con-
ference title in six years and
earned an appearance in
Division II regionals with a
successful season many
thought impossible. A pitch-
ing staff that was among the
nation's best combined
with timely hitting to pro-
duce a 28-11 campaign.
"To be honest, I was
a little surprised that we
received a bid in our first
year of Division II competi-
tion," said Wesleyan Head
Coach Randy Tenney. "I
think we deserved to play in
regionals, and we played
hard and did our best to rep-
resent the WVIAC." With
two outs, the bases loaded
and the score tied in the
eighth inning of the WVIAC
Championship game, short-
stop Lou Capolupo an-
swered his call to glory with
a triple that led Wesleyan
past West Liberty 8-3 to win
the conference title.
Wesleyan forced
West Liberty into a second
game by defeating the
Hilltoppers 11-1 in the first
match-up. Freshman Den-
nis Emison threw a com-
plete game five-hitter in his
fourth varsity appearance
of the season. Emison
struck out seven and
walked two in nine innings.
Four Bobcats were
involved in post-season
awards. With a 9-0 record
and 1.38 e.r.a, pitcher Eric
Hott was named the 1996
WVIAC Pitcher of the Year.
Three other Wesleyan play-
ers were selected to the
ALL-WVIAC first team.
Capolupo and Bazzano
made the team at their re-
spective positions, while
catcher Joe Sutton was se-
lected as the squad's desig-
nated hitter.

Senior and champion distance runner
Eric Chandler demonstrates his prowess
on the track during his last appearance
in the Bobcat Classic.
Wesleyan swept the
WVIAC track and field
championships. It was the
fifth consecutive title for the
women and the second in
three years for the men.
Wesleyan's women
won with 165 points, outdis-
tancing runner-up Glenville
by 113 points. Wheeling-Je-
suit finished third (36), fol-
lowed by West Liberty (19)
and West Virginia State (1).
Nine different athletes
scored in double figures for
Wesleyan, led by long jump
and high jump champion
Amy McCall with 2 1 .
Heide Karley scored
1 8 points, sweeping all three
throws en route to Field Ath-
lete of the Year honors. Meg
Delano scored 17.5 and
Track Athlete of the Year
Jen Johnson tallied 13.5.
Wesleyan's men
were sparked by the trio of
distance runner Eric Chan-
dler, jumper Mony Keth,
and thrower Tom Damiani.
Keth was named WVIAC
Field Athlete of the Year as
the trio accounted for 41 of
the team's victorious 105
points. Glenville's men
finished a close second with
92 points.
Wesleyan became
the first school in league
history to win both cross-
country titles and both track
titles in the same year.
These four titles move Jesse
Skiles' career total to 14,
the most of any coach in
league history.
"I can't say enough
about how proud I am of
these athletes. The confer-
ence meet typifies what the
teams did throughout the
season," said Skiles. "The
athletes took it upon them-
selves to overachieve and
become champions, and I
could not be more proud."

SET AND MATCH
Thirteen play-

tools it needed to go
19-2 overall and 11-1
in the conference. A
few substantial inju-
ries did not diminish
the high competitive
spirit which absorbed
the entire squad
throughout the sea-
son. Scoring straight
set defeats in nearly
every match, the Bob-
cats ended their year
with a heartbreaking
loss to their confer-
ence nemesis Univer-
sity of Charleston in
the championship fi-
nale.

the second spot in
doubles.
Jared Luteran,
Bobcat third seed,
reached the top in
singles play with a 16-
1 record at the No. 3
spot. Luteran also tal-

Wesleyan's golf
team attacked the course
at Cacapon State Park with
one objective — the WVIAC
Championship. When the
rain-shortened event came
to a close, the Bobcats
had shot both of the
tournament's two lowest
rounds and won the
program's first conference
title by 28 strokes.
"This is my brightest
hour and greatest thrill
while coaching at Wes-
leyan," said Head Coach
John Myers, who was
named WVIAC Coach of the
Year for the first time in his
33 seasons as Wesleyan's
golf coach.
With a first round
total of 305, the Bobcats
boasted an 1 1 shot lead over
rival Glenville State. Steve
Merkel carded a 75, Paul
Joanou tallied a 76. and
Corey Glass equalled Matt
Benson by shooting a 77.
The squad slammed the
door on the competition in
the second round by shoot-
ing a 314, 17 strokes better
than the Pioneers. Senior
Bryan Appel's game rose to
the occassion as he shot a
78, second only to Merkel's
77. Benson closed the round
with a 79 while Joanou fin-
ished with an 80.
Merkel's total of 152
earned him All-WVIAC
honors as the second low
medalist. Benson and
Joanou were named All-
WVIAC for the second con-
secutive season, finishingin
a four-way tie for fourth at
156.
"I've really enjoyed
coaching these seniors
throughout their careers,
said Myers. "This season
was a dream come true and
the guys earned everything
they received."

help of the trainers was vital to the success
of Wesleyan's athletes.
The WVWC cheer-

to cheering for football,
men and women's basket-
ball, and volunteering for
Special Olympics, the

The faculty and staff at Wesleyan
were widely considered extremely
influential when the role of aca-
demics was considered. With a
large number of faculty holding
terminal degrees, students were
assured a top-notch education. In
addition, the physical plant kept
the campus intact by maintaining
the physical environment in which
students and faculty could work
together. Additionally, office staff
members and administrative as-
sistants helped students with tasks
ranging from cashing checks to
ensuring students' graduation re-
quirements had been met. Each of
these faculty and staff members
helped make the Wesleyan 'ma-
chine' function smoothly.

October 13, 1995 marked the inauguration of Wesleyan's
seventeenth president, William R. Haden. The occasion was a
'celebration of Founder's Day and the investiture of the President.'
'I felt the day, occasion and ceremony were a confirmation of all that
is good about Wesleyan," said President Haden, in a reflection on his
inauguration. Work fast, change speeds and throw strikes was Haden's
'rule of thumb.' In his inaugural speech, he described a sense of community at Wesleyan
that recognized the past, present and future.
The Orange Line, a processional composed of alumni who were present for the
convocation, served as a link between the current student body and those students who
came before. "The Orange Line reminds us that there is a history," said Haden.
"I have great 1 expectations for the
future of the college fm^ f^ f* because it is so strong,
and because it brings a /% ^*± great tradition of
service to the Methodist , Church and to West
Virginia. We have good m£ / facilities and we have

One goal Haden plans to accomplish
deals with the access of information the student
has. "We must ensure that there are library
and other informational resources, appropriate
technology, and more international exposure
available for all of our students and faculty."
Haden continued, "so we Jg must commit ourselves
to strengthening further Wesleyan's educational

Haden was proud of becoming a part of the Wesleyan spirit, and he considers his
inauguration one of the most important days in his life.

utstan din a faculty
Rich Clemens, associate professor of business and computer
science, was "absolutely amazed "that he was awarded the out-
standing faculty member this past October. Clemens has had a long
history of teaching others. "I remember when I was ten or twelve years
old. my older brother showed me how to use a slide rule. In turn I had to
show someone else how to use it. That person said to me. You're going to be
a teacher one day. " While in undergraduate school, Clemens had an excellent
teacher who had the ability to answer a question before the student asked. "I'm not sure
I'm quite at that point yet to tell visually what the student wants." Clemens might not
know what students want before they ask; however, he is sure of what methods to use
to provoke students to question what they're taught. "The methods and tools that I use
include case studies, so the student can attack problems from different angles. The use
of technology in the classroom will also enhance their education." It was this objectivity
and professionalism in the classroom that earned him the Outstanding Faculty Member
Award.

Wesleyan consistently prided itself on its academic
integrity. This pride was demonstrated in a variety of
academic opportunities and successes, such as internship
programs, contract learning, and cultural exchanges. President
Haden felt, since the world was becoming more interdependent,
that Wesleyan should be "strengthening more of these international
ties for the next academic year." In addition to the established international
opportunities offered to Wesleyan students, Haden saw technology as a way to
involve students in a global atmosphere. With the graphics-based internet
connections established in the spring, and with the purchase of equipment
that would allow all students to participate in the 'information superhighway,'
Haden's dream of graduating a more prepared student was well on its way to j
fruition.

a curriculum that was relevant to students' needs. Soon after Keegan's
arrival in 1992. he put into action a marketing plan that included scholar-
ship opportunities and an effort to contact each incoming student who was
interested in the art department. Keegan's philosophy was, "show them the
program is good, and you will get support." Since he needed more space for this
expanded program. Keegan was given the first floor of McCuskey so that he could further
develop the department. Construction began soon after. Within four years, evidence of
the expression: " Build it and they will come " has proven it to be valid. "We had significant
growth with substantial support from this college and its administration," said Keegan,
"and now we have students who are serious about art and are challenged to be their
creative best."

Twelve months had passed and the construction of
Wesleyan's new dining hall was finally completed. Dedi-
cated during commencement weekend, the French A. See
Dining Center gave students a new atmosphere in which to eat.
With larger accomodations, Aladdin was able to prepare better
quality foods. The kitchen was three times larger than the kitchen in
Jenkins Hall. According to Paul Clawson, director of Aladdin Food
Services, students felt less crowded when they ate because the dining area was
much larger, as well. Increased cooler and freezer sizes gave Aladdin more
flexibility. "The greatest part of this new facility was all the space we had," said
Mr. Clawson. "We used more service areas that allowed us to offer a wider
variety of foods and we received a very positive response from the community.
Everything was nicer, bigger, and more spacious. " With a sky view, large open
windows and more seating, students enjoyed their time eating and socializing
in the dnew dining center.

Even after cleaning up the rubble left after the construction
of the new dining hall, the physical plant staff was still hard at
work on several projects. Despite remodeling the former Jenkins
Cafeteria into the Jenkins Arena, a black-box mini-theater for
small productions; renovating the music building in preparation for
national accreditation; and re-vamping the electrical wiring of the
entire campus, Terrence Dobberstein, director, and his staff continued
serving the campus community without a hitch. In addition to finishing the
new cafeteria and attending to the everyday needs of the campus, the physical
plant staff spent much of the year preparing for the renovation of the Campus
Center, slated for the '96-'97 school year. Plans for the Campus Center
included a non-alcoholic pub , a much larger bookstore with areas for lounging
and reading, and a state-of-the-art performance area on the top floor. No
matter what needs were assessed on campus, the physical plant staff was
efficient and competent at addressing the problem.

For 105*years, the Wesleyan com-
munity has taken pride in its offer-
ing of friendliness and good will
among its students. A diversified
student body, from 33 states and
24 foreign countries, lived, worked,
and studied together in a family-
like atmosphere. Consistently,
Wesleyan students strived for ex-
cellence in the classroom, on the
field, or in extracurricular activi-
ties. The Wesleyan classic experi-
ence was inseparable from the ca-
maraderie among its student body.
Senior Matt Powell, right, uses the
"Bungee Run" to show off for his fresh-

Seniors expand their knowledge through . . .
Capstone Courses
It's three o'clock in the morning. You
sit up, sweating and terrified. Reams of
research are hurtling through your head
and you wonder if the previous evening's
writing was good enough. This worry does
not belong solely to the ^^^^^^^^^^
members of the honors
program. It becomes a part
of everyday life when ap-
plied to students' senior
seminar courses.
The capstone class
starts to nag at students
sometime duringtheir jun-
ior year when they realize ^^^^^^^^^^
they have to take the capstone class to fill a
requirement and that they must chose their
own topic to research.
". . .presenting is worse
than preparing, but
everyone gets through
it. . .even without cof-
fee and vivarin."
Whether attempting a creative writ-
ing thesis, directing a performance for the
dramatic arts department, or presenting
a paper on "Stress Factors in Trestle Steel
Beam Bridges," seniors are expected to
show expertise in their field
of study.
Life falls into patterns of
research, writing, and revis-
ing. Meetings and gripe ses-
sions can alleviate some of
the tension, but worry still
consumes much of the stu-
dents' time. For some
^^==^ people, presenting the final
product is worse than its preparation, but
eventually, most students successfully
complete the process.

Graduate School
Sometime in the beginning or middle
of their sophomore year, students ask: "So,
what are you going to do when you gradu-
ate?" And the common response is: "Gradu-
ate?! I'm not even done ^^^=^^^^^
with my second year yet!
How do I know?"
Some people are
lucky enough to be in a
major where they can im-
mediately get a job upon
graduation. Others take a
few years off to work with
the Peace Corps, an amuse- ^ "
ment park, or even McDonald's. But most
people have to find a graduate school and
further their education in hopes of getting a
high-paying job.
"Some people are
lucky enough to . . .
get a job immediately
upon graduation."
First, students must face the usual
standardized tests, such as the GRE, LSAT,
MCAT, GMAT, and the NTE. Some stu-
dents even take these tests more than
^— once in order to raise their
scores. After scores are pro-
cessed, students then focus
on completing the applica-
tion process: references,
transcripts, and the absolute
worst — the essay or letter of
self-presentation.
Eventually, everything
— ^^~ ^^~ gets mailed and received,
and if you're lucky, you'll be accepted and
can postpone paying off student loans for
another few years. If not, it's rumored that
Sea World is hiring.

Helping
Hand
Volunteering and community ser-
vice are a big part of West Virginia
Wesleyan's atmosphere. Many students
take part in the numerous service orga-
nizations on campus. This allows stu-
dents the opportunity to volunteer their
time and expertise in order to help better
the community and the college.
One of the bigger service organi-
zations on campus is the Bonner pro-
gram, which consists of students who
work an additional forty hours a month
per student to assist the community of
Buckhannon. The program covers ev-
erything from reading to students in the
schools, tutoring kids in the evenings.
working on skills with the handicapped,
and visiting with the elderly in their
homes.
Other major service organiza-
tions on campus are the Wesleyan Ser-
vice Corps, Kappa Phi. a service soror-
ity, and Sigma Theta Epsilon.a service
fraternity. These groups assist in com-
munity clean-ups as well as donations to
flood victims or adopting a family for
Christmas.
As long as there are people who
need a helping hand and a kind smile,
Wesleyan will always harbor many will-
ing students to help provide for local
people and their needs.

Cyber-
world,
Here
We
Come!
However distant Buckhannon
might seem, students always have the
world at their fingertips. With
Wesleyan's updated VAX system, which
allows for more users and faster response,
students and faculty can now interact
with colleagues, family and friends all
over the world.
Internet access allows students
and professors to research special topics
for classes through the library's updated
computer system and rather than deal-
ing with "snail mail", e-mail helps speed
up the communication process between
the students and faculty, as well as mem-
I
bers of different campus organizations.
Campus offices can also use the benefi-
cial up-grading to their advantage for
accessing and recording grades, finan-
cial aid statements and bills.
Students can be found using
Wesleyan's VAX system at all hours of
the day, whether it be in a dorm room or
one of the three computer labs located on
campus. In an attempt to make the
Internet available to all students, the cam-
pus is gearing up for fiber-optic installa-
tion in dorms. As Wesleyan's techno-
logical links continue to grow, so does its
place in the cyber-world.

Getting
A Head
Start
Looking ahead to graduation and
what is to follow that triumphant day,
students see job hunting in their very
near future. Finding a job is imparative
to paying back all of those loans that help
students to attain their higher education.
West Virginia Wesleyan provides
much financial aid to its students. Some
of that aid might come in the form of
scholarships, grants, orworkstudies. The
workstudy program is very popular
among students because it allows them
to earn money and to work on campus.
There are many different areas students
can choose from to help fulfill their
workstudy hours. Many students work in
their field of study, such as the theatre or
the education department while others
might choose to work in the library or
post office in order to expand their skills.
No matter where students choose
to earn their money, the workstudy pro-
gram provides needed assistance to of-
fices and faculty all over campus while
helping the students to pay their way
through college and gain helpful knowl-
edge that may one day serve as a benefit
in finding a job in the real world.

College is not just place to get a
higher education. Students need to be
able to get their minds off the stress of
academic life.
Everyone will find something that
best suits his/her entertainment needs
and to run off some of the extra energy.
Students can enjoy comedians, movies,
D.J. dances, coffee houses, and various
musical and performing arts productions
as well as all sporting events.
Students also go off campus and
find activities around town. Some people
enjoy going to the various fraternities to
catch a glimpse of what Greek life is
partially about. Many people like going
to Hardees for a midnight run and a little
relief from their studies. Some people
like to go to the mall to see the movies, to
shop, or to simply browse. The Campus
Activities Board sets up ski trips and mall
trips so the students who don't have trans-
portation can get off campus for an after-
noon and still have spare change left for
those midnight snack runs to Sheetz.
The students at Wesleyan are
never bored due to the many activities
that are at their disposal. So, when
students feel the weight of classes bear-
ing down on them, there is always an
escape enabling students to get a new
wind and start again.

Variety
of
Styles
After paying money for tuition,
books, phone bills and pizza, college stu-
dents never seem to have much extra
money. However, most students seem to
come up with enough money to acquire a
whole new wardrobe by the time they
graduate. The average attire of Wes-
leyan students consists of t-shirts,
sweatshirts and jeans. The catch is that
these t-shirts and sweatshirts can be
adorned in various logos and designs.
Between the five fraternities, the
four sororities and the many organiza-
tions on Wesleyan's campus, many dif-
ferent sets of letters and initials can be
seen on everything from shirts and jack-
ets - even hats and keyrings. Also every
sport, whether it be football, swimming
or basketball, displays its name, number
and titles with just as much pride and
school spirit.
Students also added to their ward-
robe clothes that promoted an event or
fund-raiser. For example, the fraterni-
ties always sell t-shirts for their end-of-
the-year get-togethers and the residents
of Jenkins Hall sold t-shirts in memory of
Aaron Jackson, a freshman basketball
player who was killed in a car accident
earlier in the school year. So no matter
how broke college students seem to be,
there is always a little extra money hid-
ing somewhere for those comfortable
clothing needs.

A
Friend
Forever
The word friend is a noun defined
as a person attached to another by feel-
ings of affection or personal regard. We
all have friends and no matter how differ-
ent they are friends always fall under the
same definition.
Friends are an important part of
our lives and college is a time when best
friends are made. For most people, these
friendships will last long after the college
years. True friends are always there
whether a shoulder is needed or laugh-
ter and smiles are shared. While the
reason for being at college is academics,
friends are an integral part of college life
for everybody.

Fresh
Start
The first year of college can be a
little scary. No, let's face it; it can be very
scary. There are hundreds of new faces
to meet, new classes to take and lots of
new choices to make. . and all without
Mom and Dad. It's taking that big step
from home and everything that's famil-
iar to a whole new world full of people
and places that are unknown and unfa-
miliar that make the freshman year the
most challenging.
College classes have a different
structure from high school classes. In-
stead of six or seven different classes per
day, students may only attend two or
three classes on opposing days, and
classes are also more intense.
College is a great opportunity to
meet new people from all different walks
of life. Everyone is in the same position
of leaving home and starting college, so
everyone starts the year with something
in common. Many students find devoted,
lifelong friends in college and this adds to
the excitement of meeting new people.
College is a good opportunity for
people to get a taste of the "real world",
while not having all of the pressures like
paying bills and going to work. College is
a big transition for many students, but it
does get better as seniority and experi-
ence are gained. Hopefully, higher edu-
cation prepares students for what awaits
them after graduation.

Much
Needed
Break
"Three more weeks!" "Eight
days left!" These are common phrases
on campus that can be heard all year
long. There is always somebody going
somewhere. Whether students are going
away for a week, a weekend, or just a day,
breaks are just what the doctor ordered!
Everyone needs a break now and
then and it's not hard to tell when one is
approaching. Students may get irritable
and tired and all of them count down the
days. Some students leave Wesleyan and
sunny Buckhannon to go to the beach or
a resort, while others might be going to a
concert or going skiing. Then there are
those students who are happy just going
home to visit with family and friends, to
get a home-cooked meal, and to get some
much needed sleep in their own bed.
The hustle and bustle of college
life is continuous, from late-night study
groups cramming for a big test the next
day to staying up listening to a friend
who's had a bad day or typing a paper
until two o'clock in the morning when it's
due the next day.
College life can be very chaotic
and students canbecome very worn down
by all of the stress and activity that comes
with it. Somehow it's all worth it when
students get a much needed break from
the college scene.

16 Greeks
Many members of the student body
found friendship and support in
one of Wesleyan's Greek organi-
zations. With four sororities and
five fraternities, many students
found campus life influenced by
the Greeks in innumerable ways.
From the service performed for
the Wesleyan and Buckhannon
communities to the social activi-
ties provided to students on- and
off-campus, Greeks were an inte-
gral part of life at college. Each of
these groups instilled a sense of
brotherhood, sisterhood, and to-
getherness in its members, and it
was this sense of companionship
that caused many students to "go
greek."

Theta xi
Theta Xi was founded on April 29, 1 864, at Rensselaer Polytech-
nic Institute. Wesleyan's chapter, Kappa Tau, has existed since
a merger with Kappa Sigma Kappa in 1962. In the fall, it
initiated three students into its membership. Also, Theta Xi
had a special initiate. Alfred Moye, a member of Kappa Sigma
Kappa in 1962 who was barred membership in Theta Xi during
the merger, was finally given membership into the fraternity.
In the spring, Theta Xi gained four new members, one of whom
was the third person in his family to be a Theta Xi brother.
Throughout both semesters, the brothers worked hard and
were dedicated to excellingin intramurals, philanthropic work,
and scholastics. Their efforts earned them the President's Cup,
which is given to the year's best fraternity. After graduation, a
massive renovation of their house at 87 South Kanawha Street
will begin. The project was planned to include a new electrical
system, a modernized kitchen, an improved fire alarm system,
and new doors and windows.

Theta chi
Theta Chi was founded in 1856 at Norwich University in Nor-
wich, Vermont. This year, despite a few major obstacles, the
Delta Gamma Chapter was reinstalled here at Wesleyan. Since
then, the charter has accumulated over 1500 total community
service hours, has been nominated for the West Virginia State
Community Service Award, and has grown into the largest
fraternity on campus with a total of 59 brothers. In the spring,
Theta Chi initiated 21 new members, each of whom was ex-
pected to learn the ingredients, requirements, and accom-
plishments of the Theta Chi Fraternity. With fast growth and a
great amount of effort, the fraternity gave all to earn respect
from the college as a whole. Within two-weeks of the end of
spring semester, Theta Chi finally proved its worth to the
campus of West Virginia Wesleyan College. In this time period,
they snagged the Greek Week trophy, won the Spring Sing
championship in the Fraternity Division, and received the
charter that they had fought so hard to regain.

PPA ALPHA
Kappa Alpha Order was founded in 1865 at Washington
College, which is now known as Washington and Lee Col-
lege, in Lexington, Virginia. The Beta Chi Chapter of Kappa
Alpha was founded at Wesleyan in 1 929. The Order is known
for its strong campus and community involvement. The
brothers participated in a number of service projects
throughout the year. Some of these included Hanging of the
Greens, Christmas on Campus, and the Children's Festival.
They also participated in a Brother/Sister Auction with
Alpha Xi Delta. Another of their focal points was their
philanthropy, which was the Muscular Distrophy Founda-
tion. Kappa Alpha is called an order and not a fraternity for
one specific reason: an order is a society of individuals
united by possession of a mutual distinction, the recogni-
tion of something previously acquired. For this reason,
Kappa Alpha is a strong organization built mainly on broth-
erhood.

HI PHI
The Chi Phi Fraternity had a very eventful year. The fall
semester kicked off with Homecoming where the Delta Xi
chapter at West Virginia Wesleyan College celebrated its 30th
anniversary. Over 100 alumni from across the United States
came to participate in the festivities. The fall semester's activi-
ties included a dinner with President William Haden at the
fraternity's house and three service projects. For these projects,
Chi Phi worked with both Adopt-A-Highway and Hanging of the
Greens. Its philanthropy was the West Virginia River Coalition.
The fraternity was home to many student leaders and contin-
ued to be a vital part of campus life. It gained three new
members in fall and ten in the spring. The spring semester
began with the annual Chi Phi Hell's Angels Party, which was
a big success. Some of its members also helped out with the
college's annual Sunshine Fest. Chi Phi finished the year
strong by placing third in the Fraternity Division of Greek
Week.

T'S GREEK TO US
The 1995-1996 school year seemed to be a time of great
change for the Greek system at West Virginia Wesleyan
College. Fall semester began with a change in leadership as
new housing employee Betsy Chimock took over the posi-
tion of Greek Advisor. Under her control, many new rules
were established, including stronger regulation of alcohol.
In January, Zeta Tau Alpha began a massive restructuring.
With help from the national office , a special J-term pledging
period was held for women specifically selected for rush. As
a result, ZTA entered the spring semester at nearly double
its fall semester size. In the fall, Theta Chi, a fraternity that
had been closed down, formed an interest group desiring to
be reinstated. When they finally regained their charter, this
group had grown to almost 40 members. Throughout the
year, many changes occurred within each sorority and fra-
ternity. Each of these changes proved to be a movement
toward a bigger and better Greek system.

REEK WEEK
This year's Greek Week began on Sunday, April 21, and
ran through Saturday, April 27. Both fraternities and
sororities participated in a myriad of events that, through
fun and friendly competition, brought the brothers and
sisters closer together. These events included: volleyball,
water polo, wrestling, track, bed races, bowling, Jello
eating, boat races, tug-o-war, and a three-legged race. The
sororities also had an egg and balloon toss and a sack race.
Participants in Greek Week also took part in Greek Ser-
vice Day. On Friday, April 26, many sorority and fraternity
members donated their time to work at the Salvation
Army, the Child Development Center's Field Day, the
Historical Society, and the local Head Start. When the
week finally came to a close, Alpha Xi Delta had taken first
place in the Sorority Division. In the Fraternity Division,
Theta Chi took home the trophy, upsetting KA's twelve
years domination.

Creek Elementary School. The sisters also sold raffle tickets,
worked with Special Olympics, and helped out with school
improvement projects at Academy School. Their philanthropy
is the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation, which raises money for
juvenile diabetes. Alpha Gamma Delta sister Marti Wiblin was
Wesleyan's Homecoming Queen this year. The sorority also
received first place in its division of both the float and banner
competitions. Other accomplishments include first place among
the sororities for scholarship in both the fall and the spring.
Alpha Gamma Delta also received the Dr. Marion McBrair

Alpha delta pi
The sisters of Alpha Delta Pi have been very busy this year with
service. Throughout the year, they travelled to the Ronald
McDonald House in Morgantown, where they prepared meals
for the guests, cleaned the house, and visited with families
staying there. The sisters also made Thanksgiving baskets for
the needy families in Buckhannon in correlation with the
Salvation Army. During Christmas on Campus, Alpha Delta Pi
sisters gathered in the suite to share in the Christmas spirit by
making Christmas tree ornaments. On Make-A-Difference
Day, they painted the dining area at the Upshur County Senior
Center. They also participated in Special Olympics, clothing
drives, and collecting tabs. Alpha Delta Pi received second
place in the sorority section of the annual Spring Sing and third
place overall. Its director, Mona Barkat, received the Best
Director Award. Through hard work and dedication, Alpha
Delta Pi once again established itself as a crucial part of
extracurricular life on campus.

XI DELTA
The Beta Sigma Chapter of Alpha Xi Delta makes itself active
in the community by participating in such events as "Toys for
Tots" and the Children's Festival. This year, Alpha Xi Delta
volunteered time at the Special Olympics and took part in a
Brother/Sister Auction with Kappa Alpha. The proceeds from
the auction went to purchase needed equipment for the local
Head Start. Alpha Xi Delta also organized a "Xi-saw-a-thon" to
raise money for a sister who was battling leukemia. This event
not only raised monetary support, but spirits as well. One of the
chapter's accomplishments was winning Greek Week. In the
fall, they also participated in the Homecoming float and banner
competitions. In the Spring, Alpha Xi Delta competed in the
college's annual Spring Sing. The Alpha Xi Delta Chapter at
West Virginia Wesleyan College was an active part of campus
life and played an important role in the Greek system. The
sorority has a long-standing tradition of excellence that they
strive to maintain.

Zeta tau alpha
The sisters of Zeta Tau Alpha were active on both local and
national levels. ZTA consisted of 223 chapters coast to coast
and in Canada, which worked together to raise money for the
Zeta Foundation and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foun-
dation. West Virginia Wesleyan's Delta Upsilon Chapter re-
ceived a major donor award for its fund-raising efforts during
the past school year. The Zetas executed many service projects
throughout the year. These projects included: Mr. Wesleyan (a
male "beauty" contest), the Don't Be a Fool Campaign, Adopt-
A-Highway, Halloween programs, Christmas on Campus, Make
a Difference Day, Youth Serve America Day, and Special Olym-
pics. ZTA saw a major change this past year. With a special J-
Term pledge class, the sorority began a movement toward
higher scholastic standards and an improved image. In Janu-
ary and the Spring, they welcomed 21 new members, thus
putting into motion the formation of a bigger and better Zeta
Tau Alpha.

INVOLVEMENT
Each semester, Wesleyan students
found themselves searching for
activities in which to participate
that surpassed the daily studying
ritual. In addition to attending
classes, students were active in
groups that fostered entertain-
ment, community service, and
religious life, as well as several
other areas of interest to the cam-
pus community. With academic
honoraries, service organizations,
Christian Life Council, and cam-
pus music and theater, members
of the Wesleyan community had
many opportunities to keep them
busy.

Cwidixm £(je Council
Christian Life Council, the "um-
brella" organization for all of the reli-
gious groups on campus, had been a
vital part of campus activities for sev-
eral years. As the school year pro-
gressed, the Council increased its in-
volvement with monthly recreation
nights and worship services.
Under CLC's "umbrella" was a
diverse selection of Christian-oriented
organizations. SigmaThetaEpsilonand
Kappa Phi were Christian service or-
ganizations devoted to fellowship and
helping the community. Loveshine was
a performance-oriented group that
taught the gospel through drama, mu-
sic, and dance both on- and off-campus.
The Fellowship of Christian Athletes
and Wesley Fellowship were organiza-
tions formed to allow members to spend
time together in a Christian atmo-
sphere. InterVarsity provided a time
and place for students to come together
and share their beliefs.
With its own activities and those
of its sub-organizations, CLC played an
important role in campus life.

A helping hand from.
Wm&fGM, Service Cotifti
Along with school work, many stu-
dents at Wesleyan found that they wanted
to give their free time to helping others.
Several organizations gave students the
opportunity to participate in community
service on-campus and in the Buckhan-
non area, as well.
The Wesleyan Service Corps, WSC,
functioned as an overall coordinator of
service functions. In addition to organiz-
ing most campus-wide service opportuni-
ties, WSC gave each of the groups in-
volved in service the opportunity to send
representatives to meetings to help plan
service events.
Two of the major service opportu-
nities this year involved many organiza-
tions as well as individual students. Make
a Difference Day was the day set aside
nationally for service to the community.
Additionally, Wesleyan students had the
opportunity to participate in Service
Week, a week set aside each April to help
meet several needs of the Buckhannon
area.
Whether it was with the Wesleyan
Service Corps, or individually, students
had no trouble finding opportunities to
serve the community.

Students' needs fulfilled by...
Academic JlowwueA,
Since the central focus of campus
life was academics, it was only fitting
that department honoraries recognize
those students who excelled in their
chosen field of study.
Almost all academic departments
on campus had honoraries that recog-
nized the effort and success of these
students. In addition to these
honoraries, clubs could be found that
promoted the awareness of current is-
sues in these academic fields.
Three honoraries recognized in-
terdisciplinary excellence, also. Mor-
tar Board and Omicron Delta Kappa
accepted applications from a wide va-
riety of academic fields, and a selection
committee chose new members from
the applications. Phi Kappa Phi, also a
national organization, was composed
of the top 5% of the senior class. Stu-
dents were inducted at the beginning of
the school year.
Each of these academic
honoraries and clubs promoted aca-
demic excellence and awareness of
trends in its respective fields.

Many opportunities for...
Wesleyan students had several
chances to find culture and art through-
out the year. Whether they preferred
music or the theater, students had many
events from which to choose, each offer-
ing something different.
The theater department and its
honorary, Alpha Psi Omega, offered sev-
eral dramatic events to entertain audi-
ences. From faculty-directed main-stage
productions, to student-directed one act
plays in the new Jenkins Arena, theater-
goers could take in comedies, tragedies,
and everything in between.
For those who enjoyed musical
performances, Wesleyan's Concert Cho-
rale, Concert Band, and Jazz Band gave
several concerts throughout the season.
Both the Chorale and Jazz Band were
touring ensembles, while Concert Band
entertained audience members in
Wesley Chapel. In addition to their typi-
cal touring season, the Jazz Band toured
in Eastern Europe following graduation.
For all members of the Wesleyan
Community, cultural events were never
hard to find. One only had to listen to
hear a concert or play being performed.

EXPERIENCE
As another year drew to a close, it
became apparent to students that
Wesleyan had afforded them many
experiences and opportunities
that would help them become
more productive members of so-
ciety. Awareness events, such as
the AIDS quilt and the Young
Democrats petition against edu-
cation cuts, gave campus commu-
nity members a chance to view
first-hand what was happening in
the world around them. Seniors
finished the year knowing that they
had grown as individuals and as a
class.
Undergraduates and seniors alike dread
the chore of packing and moving their
belongings at the end of spring semester.

As with past years, Wesleyan's
personality, character, and fea-
tures changed along with the
graduation of one class and the
induction of another. Although
they were inevitable, these
changes could not sway the tradi-
tions and standards that had been
set for the college many years ago.
Traditions of excellence in aca-
demics, sports, and involvement
linked the Wesleyan of today with
the past generations who gave it
such a strong history. It was this
tradition and history that made
being a member of the Wesleyan
community a truly Classic Experi-
As they reflected on their time at Wes-
leyan, seniors waited for graduation with
both excitement and anxiety.

In Memoriam
1 met an angel once
He crawled right up into my crib and lay beside me.
Through the years we became the best of friends.
Our hearts were meant to share a Icve.
He did so much for me.
He walked me to my room the first day of kindergarden.
He walked with me in the Lord.
He taught me how to write in cursive.
He taught me how to love.
He showed me how to shoot a baskeball.
He showed me how to be strong through the tough times.
My special angel's work on earth was through,
And he is now in Heaven,
Preparing a home for me and his loved ones.
I'll never forget my special angel.
He was kind-hearted, strong, intelligent, handsome, funny, talented, loving..
He was my BIG BROTHER!
