Foreword
TCI 0 ONE CAN spend a year on this historical |.,^| campus without being struck by the ever-in- |jfe creasing rapidity with which the weeks and months pass by. The football season, the holidays, mid- sear examinations, home-coming, and the many other events of lesser interest, crowd one upon the other, and it is in an attempt to chronicle an articulate record of them that the 192T Bethanian is published.
Such a catalogue of college life as the nature of this book allows can escape cold dryness only if it succeeds in suggesting to one's memory the circumstances surround- ing the events herein recorded — the tense moments of the football game, the burst of applause at the basket- ball or baseball game, the strain of homecoming or the crescent beauty of the Campus in Spring. The Staff feel that it is their trust and privilege, as well as their obligation, to record in a titting manner the events of the past year; and they have made an especial effort to arouse pleasant reminiscences in your mind and to foster the pride in Old Bethany which lives in the heart of every Bethanv Alumnus.

William Dowler Turner
0 those who are interested in the much observed and much talked of developmental changes which are taking place in the religious, social, business and political life of our people, it is evident that everywhere there is a cry for leadership.
1 his appeal is directed to our institutions of learning from high school to university, and there are many who share the belief that the greatest hope in this direction is in the smaller colleges.
Bethany College was founded by a leader in religion, has been recently saved lor the church and the community she serves by a leader in the business world, and if guided in her destiny by men who are seriously interested in the educational, religious and business problems of today, she may rightfully expect to acquit her- self most creditably of the task assigned to her.
William Dowler 1 urner, Alumnus and Trustee, is a man of this type. Born m Moundsville, West Virginia, in 1874, he was graduated from the high school there in 1889. lie worked in the Benwood Iron .Mills until 1893, when he entered Bethany College and was graduated in 1895. While in Bethany he was active in her social, religious, fraternity and athletic activities. Then followed two years as Superintendent of the Carnegie Library in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and three years of teaching in the high school at Wheeling.
In 1900 he was made Principal of the high school at Shelby, Ohio, and here he married Miss Ada Morris and remained until 1903, when he returned to Bethany to teach Mathematics.
From 1904 to 1907 were spent at Harvard Law School, and upon graduation there he entered the Law Offices of M. B. and II. 11. Johnson at Cleveland, Ohio, retaining this connection at the present time.
As Student. Alumnus, Professor and for seven years as Trustee, he has kept in close touch with Bethany's problems and progress during the past thirty-three years, and through his personal contact with the business world he is alertly con- scious of the responsibility of his Alma Mater to the student body, to the church and to the community at large.
He is a strong believer in the youth of today, expecting that from their ranks will be developed the leaders of tomorrow.
He has faith in the small colleges and especially in Bethany and the life here. He values the individual contact of the students with each other and with those who are responsible for their training. This interest in the student body is outwardly evidenced by his frequent visits among them and by his presence on the sidelines whenever possible.
As a Trustee he is as studiously attentive to Bethany's development as he is to the business problems which are his daily task, and this sense of responsibility ac- counts for his regular attendance at the meetings of the Board and his earnest par- ticipation in the questions and policies considered by them.
Wherever he has been in his short career he has left an indelible mark on each community, and with his face constantly turned toward the rising instead of the set- ting sun, we naturally find his name high on the list of Bethany's prominent alumni.
An Appreciation
E CAN sincerely and honestly say that we have come to love our Alma Mater. We realize the futility of the written word to carry the sincerity of our feelings to you. Nor can we reason in any logical order just why this feeling is with us. It may he the constant association with its homely walls, which for four years now have been a daytime home to us. It may be the sentimental and pity- ing thoughts ol young minds, with the freedom from bondage, often cursed, in view; a bondage, not of drudgery but of dependency.
It has never been drudgery, not one minute of it. Every new task, every new idea to be developed, had the glamour of adventure. Every success was happiness, and failure rarely ever meant despondency. Busy minutes piled m heaps one on the oilier. .And busy hands meant happy hearts: not boisterous happiness, hut that quiet comfortable feeling, that we can only describe now that it is almost over.
We do not mean to say that all was Arcadian. The heated, sweating moments of rush and rebellion held their sway. But they played their part in building up a self-reliance and a confidence which we know we shall be thankful for in days to come. Above all this, though, we think of the ties of friendship made and bound close to our hearts, and we hope never to be broken. Our work and our friendships have formed our very life in these four years. Can you wonder, now. why we say weve learned to love our Alma Mater?

Salutory
]l RING the third decade of the last century, Alexander Camp- bell and a number of his associates planned to establish an institution for higher learning. A similar enterprise was launched in Kentucky in 1836; this, coupled with the panic of 1837, caused .Mr. Campbell to wait until 1840. That year a charter for Bethany College was secured from the State of Virginia, erecting and establishing "at or near Bethany. Counts' of Brooke, in this common- wealth, a seminar) of learning for the instruction of youth in the various branches of science and literature, the useful arts, agriculture, and the learned and foreign languages."
The founders purposed that the study of the Holy Scriptures should bulk large in the curriculum and routine of the college. The charter specifically forbids "the establishment of a theological professorship in said college." Those men were seeking Christian Liberty and felt that it could only be obtained by a free use of the Scriptures and ignoring the shackles of the then current theology. Each day all students were to attend divine worship and listen to the expounding of the Bible by a member of the faculty. This was as much a part of the program as the courses in Latin, science, or mathematics.
From the first Bethany College stressed the value of honest work. manly behavior, and the Christian faith. Young men of ability came to the institution, did their work carefully, and went to places of influ- ence and power. Keen men with character have always enjoyed such privileges. Bethanv College now as well as then seeks to call out and train an adequate leadership for the many necessary tasks of the day. Since 1881 women have enjoyed the privileges of Bethany College on equal terms with men.

History of the Class of 1925
AM the oracle of the Senior class. Four years ago its members entered these classic halls as a group of scared, green freshmen. Some came for knowledge, some came for fun, some came be- cause it was expected of them, while others came because their parents had been here before them. However these motives are of little im- portance for the class has reached heights of distinction far above any other group that has gone out from our Alma Mater.
As the little freshmen became acquainted the scared, green feeling passed away and they were soon assimilated into the student body of Bethany College. They became interested in all the activities of student life. I hey not only made records in the class room but made history on the campus.
Bui alas' they were not perfect for they lost the class scrap and the 1 ug of War to the sophomores. However the men redeemed themselves \ lien they took scond place in the inter-class track meet. It was during their freshman year that A. L. I. was reorganized and it has been the members of this class that have maintained it over its second period of childhood.
During their sophomore year they took more honors. As is charac- teristic of sophomores they won both the class scrap and the Tug of War. Their leadership branched out in every direction.
Now they themselves are Seniors! Every campus and church organ- ization has its senior members. As they look back over the lour years of association with the faculty and students, they realize what a bless- ing these four years have been. As thev go out from this, their beloved Alma Mater, they will cherish the memories of their school days. Bethany's traditions and ideals grow more dear as Commencement into life draws nearer.
I am the Oracle! I predict great things for the class of 1925.
The Will of the Class of 1925
In the name of the Benevolent Father of all. We, the Class of lu25, being of sound mind and sane memory and realizing the omnipotence of the Divine Creator, believing in His divine wisdom and influence, power, persuasion and wisdom of such divinity only, and unin- fluenced by any other power, we do as members of the Class of 1925, hereby and herein indi- vidually and collectively sign our name: "The Senior Class of 1925", at the end hereof, realizing that life is uncertain and of short duration and that mankind has not the percep- tion to know when the end thereof Cometh ami at what hour the great and all powerful deity calleth His children to the Holy Land, and We as such class having arrived at the pinnacle of the pyramid of higher learning, establish this most sacred document as a monument to our superiority of learning and wisdom as a sacred guide and influence for other classes to follow, that such may behold the brilliance of the shining star we have erected upon the pyramid, which will aid them up the rough paths over cliffs, amid fallen rocks, through deep valleys and across swift and dangerous streams, amid the mad rush and roar of dashing waters take heed We do, in the sancity of such solemnity make, declare and publish this to be our last will and testament hereby revoking all wills by us heretofore made
I I EM I — We as such members of the class of 1925, as aforesaid, do devise and bequeath to the members of our beloved faculty all our extracts of learning. — both oral and written — , in order that they may possess a greater control and a stronger power, which it is our most sincere request that they execute on the Juniors, the would-be Seniors, which class so boldly and with audacity unsurpassed pretend to fill the seats of learning heretofore occupied by the dignified and worthy testators herein
ITEM II — We regretfully and with a feeling of sadness and reverence leave the first choice of chapel seats, those occupied by the present Seniors, to the Junior class. To this latter class we also leave the tradition of our customary rights and privileges of Seniors; said rights and privileges to be enjoyed by them from the beginning of school
ITEM 111. — To the Freshman class we leave, after much consideration, our acquired knowledge of the "ropes" of the school in order that they may fully realize the path of learning over which they are to tread and in order that they may profit by. our experiences and thus miss many of the bumps and knocks which we had to suffer.
ITEM IV — We hereby order that all our just debts, both personal and collective be dis- tributed equally among the members of the Junior class, just as soon after our demise as possible; as no fortune is inherited without its liabilities, overhead expenses and responsibilities.
1 IT M Y — With no time to bother with trifles or insignificant things, we have consented to let Professor Perry keep all the surplus profit which he has gained from us during our four years in Bethany, as a memorial to the class with the hope that future classes may profit by our so doing,
ITEM VI. — We, the testators named herein, make the following devises and bequests to- vv it : —
Hubbard Shoemake — To Jack Harrison 1 wish to leave my stage ability and poise.
Olivi IhiiuRi) v\n Dan Helphry — We leave our curly hair to Bob and lluddy: and our poetry books to Ed Warren.

Senior Class Prophecy
The problem which confronts one who assays to compile for popular perusal any group of facts or data is necessarily one of organization. Any statistician is forced to meet and solve the question of how he will present in an orderly form the most significant facts from the mass of material which confronts him.
As I begin the task before me. I feel how unequal I am to its demands. In the twenty years since I left Bethany I have been more or less isolated from the world and have known only a limited experience as a psychology professor in a small college town. Still the need for such a contribution has given me courage.
When fust 1 made the attempt the mass of available mater, al bewildered me. Hut I con- ceived the idea of presenting onl) the most telling illustration of certain psychological truths, and listing these according to the probability curve — which has been my most valued assistant during twenty years of grading test papers The activities of this group of people I shall divide under these heads:
Professions
.Manual ( )ccupations
.Mental Calibre
Financial Standing Moral Standing Fame
Affected by the Movies Victim of Circumstance
Minute investigation of this remarkable group revealed the fact that under the first head their occupations ranged from 1' , who did absolutely nothing to 4rr at the other end whose occupations were very strenuous. From the lower end of the curve 1 have chosen as illustra- tive, the case ot Chief Ghering. The closest scrutiny can discover only that he is running around Luce Also the case of George Roark who has been happily married three times and consequently has by this time considerable fortune. In the average 50% we have such occupa- tions as Charline Bebout's, who is the principal of a svstem of kindergartens, and Happy Sny- der, the General V \Y. Secretary of the U. S. Then in the upper portion of the curve we find such strenuous muscular and vocal exercise as Jack Adams engaged in musical comedy, and Mr I less, a most successful boxer Here too, we have such sad cases as that of Mr Townsend, so promising as a student, hut who now is concerned with peeling peaches for his wife.
In the professions we may list the higher and the lower cases. There is Dr. Lawrence Patterson, of St Louis, a member of this class; the famous D. J. LaPorte, editor of Life and duel ol the advertising department for Chesterfields, is another name of this group I he equally loved successor of the famous Jane Adams, Mildred McCollam is also one outstanding example of the higher portion of this particular curve The great majority of the class fall of course in the 50% at the center of the curve. Here are such names as Gertrude Wisely, a missionary. It is very satisfying to hear of this Alumnus, for happily the cannibals are not as vet fed up' on her. Here also is Jeannette (Tew. who as a sideline, is drawing for Life. Then in lower 6% are charted the names of McWhorter and Shoemake. Shos hail no choice, he followed his ancestral occupation of Pegging Shoes. McWhorter's mind has suffered under a strange complex he acquired during his senior year. He soon married after leaving school, but routine life tired him and he began to follow vaudeville troups. During the past
Forty-six

So much for the professions and occupations of all kinds. Now we will turn to the mental calibre after twenty years. It is obvious that much can happen to the delicate ner\ous system during those trying years of settlement in the world ol affairs It is onh to be ex- pected that some few brains which are put to the most severe tests shall eventually give way. One young lady of my school acquaintances possessed the keen mind of a real scholar. She specialized in medicine and became an eminent surgeon. But the severe nervous strain to which she was subject finally brought the sad result, temporary insanity. I refer to the gifted Dr Dorothy Darsie, wife of the Vale Psychology expert Thus in the same family circle we find illustrations of both ends of the scale Two other interesting cases in the classification demanded my attention. I refer to those gentlemen of the road who have also won lor them- stlves an envied place in the world of letters. Idle first. Normal Ward, whose position as a writer of socialized religion is not to be questioned I he second. Edwin S. .Miller, has charmed many a stay-at-home with his tales of the far places they will never know except through him. I lis style is a thing to he marveled at and envied Yet both of these brilliant men are, in the parlance of the street, bums, — tramps. What queer turns genius will take
The curve which pots the financial standing of course duplicates the others to some extent, but to give you an idea of more unusual points, here are four of those more than ordin- arily successful. These cases all come in second or B class in charting .Maurice Marling made the most of a small opportunity and has finally succeeded to the position of General Manager at Brentanos. Ruth llavden steadily made her way upward until today she is the able Secretary to the President of these United States Our rotund friend Sumpstine fills fully the chair of Biology and Geology at \Y. Va. University. To come down to the commercial plane we are struck with the splendid achievement of Chipper Hall He has enlarged his string of grocery stores until he knows how it feels to he a millionaire There is always an- other side to the curve. So we are faced with other facts. There is Harry Wheaton, for ex- ample, he's a splendid preacher and is' making a place for himself as Bethany's first pastor since the Little Minister, but poor Mr. Wheaton has no small task on his hands in keeping bod) jnd soul together on Bethany's salary. Then there is Pearl Swinger, who to aid the family finance, is filling the office of village postmistress
There is a vast deal more of material before me but time and space do not allow that 1 should include it in this treatise, I will conclude this investigation in my address before the assembled psychologists at the convention on June eighth of this present year. Much valu- able data will probably be in my hands by that time.

History of the Class of 1926
IIRLL short years have passed: we are now at the close of our Junior year. Having made steady progress in the years passed and now having but one-fourth of the way yet to advance, we dare to pause and look behind.
In the distance we see a Freshman class approaching the foot of the ladder. I hey are advancing eagerly eighty-seven strong. What a sight! And how they are welcomed. They need no trumpets to an- nounce their capacities for their very appearance and eagerness reveals them.
I hey draw near the fool of the great ladder and. unlike most Fresh- man, do not scatter and hesitate to make the attempt, bill rather. organize themselves and immediately begin their ascent.
No sooner have they started than they distribute themselves into every activity of the college. Some are claimed by the Glee clubs; some are taken to the athletic field; others into Literary societies and frater- nities; and some are invited to display their talents in Merry Masquers. The V. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. have claimed a good share of them.
Like all persons laboring for a goal, they have their difficulties; a number of the young men obtain shaven heads at the hands of the Sophomores because they associated with members of the fair sex; they are pulled through the Buffalo and are carried off the held of battle. However 'One is strengthened by defeat", and they redeemed them- selves by winning the silver cup from the Sophs in inter-class basketball.
Having attained so much as Freshmen, they continued the ascent as successfully the following two years.
Now we turn, ceasing to look upon the past and fix our eyes on a goal. We enter the ranks of the "dignified Seniors" not to rest upon the accomplishments of the past, but to prepare ourselves to be worthy of the respect of our fellow students and our Alma Mater.

FRED MILLER
Our Class President comes to us from Cameron. With his hearty iaugh and his mountaineer drawl "Freddie" makes friends wherever he goes, among both students and faculty. By the way, we wonder if his attentions to a certain member of the faculty would be termed "hand-shaking" or "heart breaking"? [-'red is a ministerial student but this does not prevent him from being a live wire and a good scout. We predict for him a brilliant future
GLADYS CRAIG
Gladys is a quiet little person; she never says much, but accomplishes a great deal. Sometimes, however, she believes in "letting George do it", but he doesn't seem to mind so much. Good to look upon, and pleasant to know, she has uncon- sciously taken a big place in the hearts of all her classmates.
ESTHER HASBROUCK
Her manner is gracious, kind and true. Esther is a very quiet worker, always on the job. On the campus she has always a gentle smile and a kindly word to say to everyone. She is a girl who is full of life, joy and fun; and so gentle and good that all who know her must be better. Onlv the higher things of life are fit for her.
EVERETT PIERCE LOPPACKER
"Loppy" started his college career to answer the call of the "Pill-Peddlers", but he decided that medics were too rough, so now he is preparing to become an efficient successor to Bernard Shaw. Hardened by severe and extended combat with the omnifamous Jersey mosquito before entering school, he has since become one of old Bethany's outstanding gridiron athletes. A man everyone on the campus likes to meet because of his jolly greeting, and his winning manner has firmly established him in the good graces of the Dean of Women.
NORMAN CRAWFORD
"Jazz" is his nick-name hut, that doesn't lull you a thing because he is an ordained minister. His ambition in life is to be a great minister, I lis brilliant future is assured in view of the fact that he is very sincere and studious. His life is a great and noble creed, and he is one of the few students who do their task every dav.
GRACE LARABEE
Chairman of the eats and decoration committee"'' Oh yes. Grace. When she goes to work, everyone knows it will be done well and on time But isn't it plain? Whatever she attempts, we know she'll get By. She is best described as a real girl that evervone likes.
LILLIAN TRAUTMAN
Blue her eyes and gold her hair. A sunny nature belongs to such a description — and that's just "l.il ". Studious and dependable, and willing to do her part, A per- son who will prove her worth by her work Quiet and reserved, it seems, but when you know her. you have a jolly, fun-loving, and sympathetic friend.
KARL NATIONS
Karl Claims Washington, D. C, as his home but, that does not mean that his father was elected President. "Carrie" is an independent sort of "cuss" in some ways but extremely dependent in others. Poor Karl! he spent his first two years dodging the fair sex, and then in his Junior year worked equally as hard trying to attain the station of Her-man. Though new at the game, he's proving quite suc- cessful; but we are not surprised, for speaking of appearances the far-famed Apollo had nothing on Karl.
I
DONALD C. WARD
From Clarksburg comes this smiling representative of our class. He is engaged in many campus activities, in ministerial work and to Inez. In fact one might say that "Don" is a very engaged sort of person. We feel sure that he will make good in the world of experience, just as he has in the realm of romance and college activity.
INEZ SAY RE
Inez is intensely religious, living above the pretty things of life, always giving a helping hand to all and consequently loved by all. She works in many places, but there is one Ward she is particularly addicted to, for we're sorry to state that Inez has fallen victim to that prevailing malady — bizzing, and is even a marked patient.
DOROTHY DARSIE
Sweet ethereal Dorothy — a beautiful radiance surrounds her face and her heart is as golden as her luxurious hair while her personality is as sweet as her face. Her voice completes the harmonious symphony of beauty, sweetness and talent. Dorothy is also quite religious, her special interest is straggly centered around a Biblical character in the plural. We predict it wont be long before she will be saving. Yes, John'
JOHN A. SAMIELS
Although he has only been with us less than a year his work in the classroom and in dramatics has proven him to be a genius and a very valuable addition to our student body. He is very versatile and, when he has anything to do. he does ii quickly and well.
EDGAR L. WARREN
"Soup's" record speaks for itself, lie is very talented in all lines of work. In classroom, in dramatics, publications, and other activities, he has proven to be one of the "outstanding" men on the campus. "Ed" is a very deep thinker and will some day he a great literary critic of his day; or prove to be a worthy successor of Arthur Brisbane, lie is one of the lew men who mix work with play in such a way as to make both enjoyable and. his pleasing personality and winning ways haw made him very popular with the ladies, as well as the fellows, lbs success in life is assured.
I II. A BURDETTE
Lela is the girl of the golden hair and the silver voice. She is an accomplished "treble cletfer" and holds a reserved seat in the choir loft. But she excels in other lines as well as music: and Lela is quite an expert in styles and new dance steps.
.MARION BEIGIII.EY
Marion's sunny disposition and cheery greeting have won for her the friendship of almost everyone in school. Her greatest sin — if it may be called that — is giggling, which along with Biology, is her major. She is an earnest student and is ready to take part in any worths' enterprise. We are expecting big things of "Bee".
BENJAMIN ST1MMEL
"Bennie" is an assistant professor in Chemistry and so holds the key to the "unknowns". He guards them well and the feminine wiles and smiles are all to no avail. "Bennie" seems quite modest — even shy — with regard to his hair, at least, so we can't just figure out, his always "blowing off" yet his soloist work on the clarinet makes him a popular member of the Glee Club. He plays a wicked tune in the "Jazz" orchestra and is also an important cog is the College Band.
Seventy
BAYARD W. SALER
"Mayflower" holds more offices and is in more campus actiytites than any other man in our class. An energetic worker, a tireless booster, he makes a perfect repre- sentative in collegiate activties. Two hundred and fifteen pounds of wisdom, jollity and fat; "Tiny" is verily the biggest man in our class in more ways than one. If there was anything lacking in quality, he would make up for it in quantity. Though he is from Pennsylvania. Bayard has been called a "Snake". He also is a member of the select group the "Three Musketeers".
DOROTHY MORRIS
To "Dot" we must hand the medal for good nature, for she is always just bub- bling over with fun She takes a big interest in campus activities. She is never too tired or too busy to say "yes", and no task is ever too unpleasant or hard for her to do. We know that "Dot" will amount to something if a smile leads the way to success, for she smiles miles of smiles everv day.
Tennis and basketball are her chief intere Always hurrying, but willing to help — frien ' little B(a)ird told me.

ELI C. W'IGGENS
Although this is his first year with this class, he has distinguished himself in many ways. The first we knew of him he was starring on the gridiron; later came basketball, and when the mid-semester grades came out he proved to us that he was an exceptional student. He is a very energetic and ambitious young man which will make him a success in life.

RALPH WHITEHEAD
"Boots" is one of the most popular hoys in school, lie has distinguished him- self from the rest of the student body by his contributions in Art to the literary de- partments of the school lie is also a very clever actor and when there are any plays in school his services are always wanted Ills ability coupled with his person- ality is sure to brine him success.

YOHO
"Her sense of humor is keen and quick, so her sarcasm is viciously caustic" — and it would never do to tell all the other nice things I've heard about myself.
The editor adds that Dee is the ideal modern girl You can see she is good looking; in addition she is brilliantly witty, a little daring and at the same time has thai good balanced sense and understanding that go to make a genuine and interest- ing co-worker.
BEATRICE KANE
"In sweetness of her looks and mind.
By virtue first, thai choice a queen."
She has curly, brown hair and an almost serious look, but her eyes tell us her disposition by their mischievous twinkle. "Bicky" is talented in more ways than one. An artist and a reader but the crowning feature of all, an earnest Christian worker with a goal of service in the mission field She is always winking hut the time she has for her friends is very enjoyable to us all

"Matt" came to us in Ins sophomore year from Ohio Wesleyan He has thai brand of friendship and sense of humor that calls for instant liking from all who meet him. ".Mat" preaches regularly at Dravosburg, Pennsylvania, but we hear that on Sunday nights his interests conflict amazingly. We prophesy remarkable things from this religiously-inclined member of our class.
W II MA MONINGER
"Billy" is a sweet girl with a sunny disposition and a winning smile. She has high ambitions and finds great pleasure in her work which runs along the lines of Chemistry, Biology, and Bizzology. She is an "accompanying" musician, and has a deep appreciation for trombone music.
ELIZAB1
DDEFER
"When Elizabeth sings I serin to hear Sounds as of sweet and holy things, .1 fluttering of angel's wings."
But Elizabeth does many more things as well. She is a brilliant and conscien- tious student, earning honors but still not working too hard Last year she was a member of our debating team. Elizabeth is one to whom Bethany traditions are sacred.
NOEL WELLS
"Noge" is one of the natives of the town. This year he has displayed remark- able ability on the tennis courts, lie has also distinguished himself in the class- rooms because he is a very keen student I le is full of fun and frolic and this is why he keeps a proper balance of work and pleasure. "Noge" is called the "l/.aak Walton" of Bethany because he can tell higger fish stories than any of the other natives. ( I am referring to Kirk Woolery).

Life may not be a snap but he will hew to the line and let the chips fall where they will, lie has but c>:ie important future date and that is the "cowboy re- union" of 1950.
HAZEL SCOTT
Hazel, our I lousier maiden, appears quite serious and dignified, hut we are as- sured that there is a world of fun and understanding hidden beneath the surface. We know by the active part she takes in campus affairs that she will make a name for herself and Bethany in her chosen work, that of a foreign missionary.

Rachael is always happy, having a smile for everybody. She has a very sweet disposition and that is the very soul of success She is a girl who dies her work well, and when she does it she does it very quietly.
I HEODQRE OLSEY
No census has been taken, no statistics have been compiled, and few press notices have been written of the few sane. kind, friendly, decent creatures like "Ted". He speaks the truth — not because he cannot lie, but because to do so would afford him no pleasure but much annoyance. His morals, his habits, and deeds are good because his preference lies in that direction.

DONALD CASHMAN
"Don" had to leave us in the middle of the year on account of his health, bin we have the very best memories of him and are looking forward to his return next \ear lie is an exceptionally good student, and an ever willing friend In addition he turned the crank for our weekly movies and gave us extraordinarily good service
II KATHR1NE MAR I IN
I his is her first year in Bethany, coming here from Purdue I niversity. She is very talented in dramatics, having displayed her ability in the "Merry Masquers" plays. She is full of fun and pep and she has a winning smile for everyone which makes us verv glad to have her in our midst
FANNY BENNETT
Gay and happy Fanny. She is one of the most dependable of Juniors. She i: ever ready for any task which presents itself. Fanny takes a prominent part in al school and church activities and we predict a great success for her as a foreign mis sionary if she is spared by the cannibals.
FRANCIS HIBLER
Youthful as to age, small as to stature, and wise as to knowledge. "Whitey" has all the essential attributes of an infant prodigy, lie played some collegiate basket- ball this year and has made the varsity tennis team for three years. "Whitey" is undecided whether to take up the ministry, teach, or go into business, but you can trust that he'll make -good in his chosen profession.
MAURICE FOGLE
rhe man that conquered the "Probability Curve", lie leaves us to mourn where he triumphed, A pleasing speaker and a forceful debater: the kind that ought to make a good lawyer but Maurice is studying tor the ministry instead. He smiles at Life, but not at the girls.
RONALD 1-;. CRAW FORD
It's such a strain for "Speedo" to live up to his name in basketball anil with the girls, but if effort counts he is a supreme success. Enthusiasm, fire, and rapidity, make Mich a universal appeal, that it is only natural that " "Speedo" should be so popular on the campus
JOHN ROBERT SALA
Do you know fsEk>b"? If not. you ought to get acquainted. Everybody is rich who knows or comes into contact with the millionaire of good cheer and the more he gives of his wealth, the more it multiplies.

\LLEN II. DHYN I
I he original of the Arrow collar advertisement, but a man's a man "for a' that". Devitt is one of the best dressed men on the campus. One of those immaculate men who do the impossible — like keeping one's cuffs clean in Bethany, lie makes a sure fine friend and a delightful swain.
OWEN HEDDON
A flare-back in his dreams to the days of chivalry. Behold on his banner, "God, Friendship, Adventure." A prime mover m the affairs of D <I> N. As one of the promoters of the "Steamer", he became a Bethany business man and a public servant as well.
JOHN BLAIR
"Jiggs" is the original "you tell 'em kid I lis "telephony" career demonstrates it. Large of heart and serene of view — we love our "Jiggs" and want him with us longer. John is a good student when he wants to be and we are all pulling for his success as football manager next fall.
EDNA WELLING
"Eddie" is quiet and reserved, calm and self-possessed. To those who do not know her she may seem somewhat distant and bored vet she has a spirit and person- ality all her own, and she thoroughly enjoys a good time. It seems she is competent in money matters for she is treasurer of her class, of the Athletic Club, and of the Y, W. Conference Fund. She is never there when the movie begins, or church starts, or when the dinner bell rings, but she gets there.
PAUL E. SC11AELLK
Paul, though small in stature, has a big mind, a big heart and is one of the big men of our class, doing big things. Paul never sits on the shore and waits tor his ship to come in but he always swims out to meet it. I le is an "A" student, a tireless worker and a consistent bizzer: a thinker and an actor rather than a talker. Paul intends to be a medical missionary, and expects to cure the ills of the black men in Africa.

SOPHOMORES
History of the Class of 1927
^JFTER another long climb, we again stop to gaze hack down the mountain side upon the trail we have just traveled. Rough jp J and rock-strewn though it has been in places, yet it is with a feeling of pride and satisfaction that we ponder over the achievements we have attained along the way. As we look back, these deeds stand out like mile stones in a long line, disappearing in the cloudy mist that veils the mountain far below.
Last year we were well grounded into the customs and spirit of Old Bethany at the hands of the Sophomores who taught us our lessons with firmness and good will. This year, though, we have been deprived ol the privilege of instructing the "new comers", yet we hope that by our worth) example they have learned to honor and love the traditions and name of the "College on the Mill". May they in their turn pass the torch on to classes of future years that the Glory of Old Bethany may never die but will live on in their hearts forever.
This school year has found many members of the class of '27 fighting for the school we lose, on the football field and the basketball floor, adding luster to her name. But the achievements were not confined solely to the realm of athletics. To the orchestra, band, debating teams, and other college organizations, the class of '27 has contributed loyal sons and daughters, who have labored unselfishly and wholeheartedly'. In scholarship as well she has stood high.
For two years now we have partaken of the fellowship and inspira- tion of Bethany. Our one hope is that in the coming years of our stay here we will have her ideal so ingrained into our souls that we will go out into the world and achieve fame and glory for Bethany College.

History of the Class of 1928
-IE CLASS of '28 has enjoyed an experience quite different from that of Bethany freshmen of former years. One thing which makes our history unique is the fact that the Sophs have been forbidden to haze us. Thus we have been permitted to grow in intellect so that all spectators have been struck with the bloom of our excellence. 1 his distinction may not seem so marked to us as to those who have, in previous years, seen poor culprits put through the creek or shorn for a slight indifference to a freshman rule. This year we have entirely disregarded all freshman rules and have made a clean get-away.
We have supported every student activity whole-heartedly, and especially in athletics have our stellar contributions added to the fame of old Bethany.
Our green caps are now but the relics of a long-departed age of inex- perience. The greenness of the past has given way to present progress and to bright hopes for tomorrow.
We face the future with one purpose and prayer — that we may achieve things that are higher and nobler for the sake of Bethany.

The Harbingers of Spring
When the days begin to lengthen. And the snow clouds melt away.
When the wind is soft and cooing. Then the Harbingers hold sway.
They come to tell the wonders. The glories of Miss Spring;
We hear it first in chatter Of the birds now on the wing.
The blue bird is first herald.
Looks like a bit of sky. And her song is just as modest
As the violet is shy.
The Robin arrives as promptly,
A nd is busy all day long, As to his mate he carrols
In a sudden burst of song.
The flaming bright-red cardinal
Fits in the color scheme Of Mother Suture's household,
Bits of red and blue and green.
And as the sun comes peeping Wakes up the earth to sing.
Giving a grand old welcome To the Harbingers of Spring.

The Athletic Board of Control
I he Athletic Board of Control of Bethanv College was originally form- ed a long time ago, but last year a new constitution was adopted and the hoard completely reorganized. It is now composed of twelve members: the Director of Athletics, three members of the Faculty appointed by the President of the College, four alumni, and four undergraduates. ( )f the last lour one must be a Senior, another a Junior, and a third a Sophomore. The Woman's Athletic Association is represented by the fourth. Presi- dent Goodnight is an ex-officio member.
This board forms a direct link between the athletic administration and the student and alumni groups. It acts as an advisory committee to the athletic director, thus relieving him of much personal responsibility. Con- tracts and schedules are approved, letters are awarded, and student ath- letic managers are elected by this important organization. Candidates for managerships start as assistants in their Freshman year. From those still competing at the vnd of the Junior year, managers are chosen. Although varsity captains are elected by the letter men m the various sports, the board retains the right to remove any captain or manager for cause at any time The employment of coaches and directors, however, is not under the supervision of this committee.
I'nder the new organization the board has functioned very efficiently.

The Cheer Leaders
These are the men who held Bethany true to the old name "Howling Three Hundred". If at any time the student pep has helped a team (in to victory the credit fell largely to the cheer leaders. All three are members of .Moo Moo Moo and their brothers-in-pep have aided them and the school at large, many times throughout the year.
The office of cheer leader is won in a competitive contest the first of each year. This year Boots was chosen first howler. Daddy second, and John Paul third according to their classifica- tion standing. They are good, we know, who have heard and seen them! We appreciate them and their loyalty to Bethany.

Several years ago "Doc" was thrilling Bethany backfield playing. He is still serving his Alma .Mater, again as Assistant Football Coach, lie has served in the former position most effi- ciently for the past two years. Mis interest in and understanding of men and the conditions here make him an exceedingly valuable man.
COACH McCANDLESS
Coach R. B. McCandless came to Bethany last fall with an enviable coaching record. He played football at Nebraska State College and Nebraska Wesleyan and the State University. At the latter two institutions he also coached. During the war he served as physical director in the armv. and later as coach at Bowling Green College.
ELLIOTT
As Football .Manager, George Elliott has fully upheld the high standards set by Bob Hurl last year. He has been constantly at his job and the whole squad praises him for the manner in which he cared for their needs. Incidentally George is cap- tain of baseball this year.

The 1924 Football Season
Bethany is one of the six charier members of the Tri-State conference which was formed last spring in Pittsburgh. Duquesne, Geneva, Westminster, Waynes- burg, and I hiel are the other members. The organization is patterned after the "Big I en" and aims to prevent professionalism among the colleges of this section. A review o1 the season forms a most disappointing story — an account of one defeat after another. This being the first year under the new athletic policy, affairs could hardly be expected to run as smoothly as otherwise. Some forty men reported lor training camp. Three were hurt before the first game, and through- out the season the number of injuries was unusually large. The schedule was diffi- cult and long. At times failure could be attributed only to bad luck. The first game ol the season is a good instance.
rhe third quarter ended with no score on. either side. Salem threatened to score but was blocked on the fifteen yard line. Bethany then launched a terrific offense, and soon the ball was at Salem's ten vard line. Neel had torn around left end for five yards, and Loppacker off tackle for three, with two yards yet to go. when the whistle blew.
I he W. & J. game is one of the few bright spots of the season. Though de- feated, Bethany rooters were more than pleased with two touchdowns. In the fust quarter Neel went around left end for a spectacular dash of seventy-seven yards, and touchdown. Again, in the fourth period Carey made a long pass to Gehring, who made the Presidents' goal with ease.
The first conference game was with Geneva, October II, when we lost 10-0. The touchdown was due to a fumble in the first three minutes of play, and the field goal was made in the last five minutes.
For the I lome Coming, the Bisons met D. & E. on the home field and lost by two touchdowns. Precisely the same thing occurred at Geneva, October 25, and in the Grove City game. November 8.
The climax came when W. V. U. on the first of November trampled over the Green and While to the tune of 71-(>. In the last quarter Loppacker passed over the goal line to Gehring, thereby getting our six points.
Then at last, under the worst weather conditions imaginable, came victory, when Marietta bowed to a ()-() score. Neel made the touchdown. The game was played in Parkersburg.
In the final game of the season, the Bob-Cats took us over 19-6. fhis record is not essentially an index to the type of ball played by Bethany. The men never did give up. and were game losers. .Much credit is due them for their clean playing and lighting spirit, let us hope that the victories of next sea- son will more than make up for this year's defeats.

Athletics
Athletics arc supposed to have originated in the Grecian Empire in the Early Ages. An athlete at that time was a man who trained consistently and made his life work that of con- tending in the athletic contests of that time which were composed of running, wrestling, pugil- istic encounters and other sports.
Athletics have advanced from that time, each country having its favorite sports, in which much interest is taken, and today lew men make athletics their work and in general athletics are taken part in because of tile good derived from the exercise jnd not to obtain money.
The schools and colleges are the centers of athletics, and it is well that they should he since man is primarily of a physical nature Whether or not we like to hear this said, it still re- mains true, and no amount of argumentation can disprove it ["oday we are emphasizing in our schools the development of the mind and its attributes, and there is no denying the fact that the future oi mankind lies in the growth anil expansion of man's mental powers Yet it is often forgotten that our mental life is dependent upon our physical life, liven the activity ol the mind itseli is dependent upon the physiological processes of the brain, — a purely phy- sical proposition
It is the realization of this fact that has led many prominent educators to emphasize physical training ll is well remembered truth that the army tests showed that the young manhood of America was in a deplorable condition as to physical powers This has given us no light on our womanhood, winch cau hardly be any better So we find everywhere a great call going out for scientifically trained athletic instructors No longer do we believe that the sawing of the wood pile by John is all the exercise that he needs. True enough, he gets exercise; and if there happen to be enough knots and nails m the hoards he receives a great deal. But the sawing of wood cannot develop in the right proportion all the muscles ol his body This, the gymnasium in schools and colleges should do.
I hen again. John will not have the same mental attitude toward the wood pile, as he would have toward a game of basketball I he one is work; the other play I do not mean to say that bo\s and girls of high school and college age should not be compelled to work. They should, emphatically, — but not so much for physical training, as for the mental discipline of doing those things that are physically tiresome, an item in education well worth culti- vating Any student of life will very readily say that child life at least, develops through play One simply has to recall one's own childhood to he cognizant of this fact. I his play instinct is the one nature uses for our physical development. It naturally follows that the ideal method of developing men and women of sound body and mind, is to turn this natural instinct to play into well directed channels.
Along with the reaping of health with this kind of activity, comes those other values of rapid nervous connection and control of the muscles. — quick decision. — (watch a quarterback on a football team), team work, co-operation, and so on — all highly valued assets for a well- rounded individual
The criticism has often been made that college sports develop only a few super-athletes, and the rest of the student body have nothing Any football game proves this statement, where thousands gather to see only twenty-two men exercise In reply to this statement one can only say that it is all too true, but educators are building more and more toward the general plan for all tust as fast as funds will permit The competitive spirit is too strong to do away with all sports, but the ideal toward which we are striving is the physical de- velopment of all; the building of the clean-cut, virile, red-blooded men and women — men and women with clean, clear minds, high ideals, and the physical background to make them a suc- cess and a contributor to the onward progress of mankind.

BASKETBALL
ETHANY has always had good basketball teams and in 1922, with George Roark as captain, fifteen games were won and eight were lost for the best average of recent years. However, even the record for three years shows an average of .510 while a closer examination shows that many of the defeats were ol the two and three point variety.
1 he results of the pre-season barnstorming trip this year were — well, about par. Five games were won and one lost by a close score. We met \\ avnesburg anil Glenville Normal January 10 and lost both games. The squad looked sick.
The coach altered his combination before we met W. >\- J. Herman and Beck- with played forward. Shoe center, and Hanna and Carey guard. The first half ended 11-0 Bethany; the game ended 10-12 Bethany. In the history of Bison basketball we had never before defeated the Presidents. Here was a combination that worked like a charm. Marietta. Duquesne, Waynesburg, and 1 hie! in turn fell before our speedy tloormen. But m the Fairmont game I lanna sprained his ankle and was out for the rest of the season. This crippled the quintette some- what. From that time on we had but three or four victories.
After the depression of football, we feel that the court season was on the whole a success, with excellent prospects for next year.

Dan LaPorte, as basketball manager, always had. as they say, "his head up", fin- he filled his position in a most commendable manner Kemp and Macl ean, his assistants, also merit praise for the help they gave their chief.
SHOIiMAKU
For the second time in one year we put Hubbard Shoemake at the head of the list, lor he is captain of basketball as well as football lie has shown himself to be the best standing guard in this section of the country. Whenever it came to a pinch. "Shoe" was always there with the goods.
HERMAN
Before you, the rangv Sam I lerman of Dayton. Sam is very modest, so much so that every one said he played his best games away from home. It he did any better than he did here — well, we'd like to see it. Sam has two more years with the team, and in that time we expect him to become an even greater star than he is now.

We remember "Eddie" first as the star guard on the local I li quintette, then in Freshman football and basketball. Now. though quite young, he is a varsity man. In his two remaining years he should become an athlete of real distinction.

1924 Baseball Season
\ 1 l RE ITSELF seemed pitted against a successful baseball season. The rain was almost incessant. Sixteen games had been scheduled but the weather permitted playing only nine. Nevertheless, considering these nine, the season was quite successful for the Bisons. We won seven of them— ^that is. nearly eighty per cent. This is up to the usual record set by Bethany on the diamond.
In the major spring sports, West Virginia University is the adversary that arouses the most interest among Bethany fans. In 1923 we shared the annual double-header with them: they winning the first game 16-9, and we the second 12-0. 1 lowever, the fighting Bisons were not satisfied, so this year we were so selfish as to take both.
Next, Duquesne was defeated in the first home game. Then Juniata tell. But Duquesne got revenge when she took a game from us on her own home field. May 10. Then came the rain. A trip down through the state was completely ruined. "Dan" LaPorte was the brilliant captain of the squad. Pour and Herman twirled from the mound. The loss of Randolph and Wells, was keenly realized however. Elliott caught. Zook, Roark. Patterson. Brown and Carey formed a snappy infield, while "Chief" Gehring. Captain LaPorte and Tarr did their share of the playing further out. Among those to be honored for their efficiency and aid in making the season a real success are "Red" Love, the manager, and Hall and Townsend, his junior assistants.

MALL
I he manager of the 1925 baseball team is a rare individual. "Chippie", as he is affectionately known by his fellow students combines all the qualities of an excellent manager, lit- started as an assistant in his freshman year and with his experience and conscientious enthusiasm he was a great help to the team No detail was ever so small that he overlooked it and his business-like management resulted in a great saving to the athletic association. His ability as shown here points to certain success in the world at large.
ELLIOTT
Lor four years Elliott has brilliantly upheld the receiving end of the battery. He has caught for such pitchers as "Eddie" Wells. Randolph, Pritchard, and Merman In recognition of his prowess on the diamond, his teammates elected him captain. This season his hatting shows a decided improvement, and his graduation in June means a great loss to college athletics.
LAPORTE
"Dan" is a good, all-around baseball player. Mis baiting averages high, he is a clever base runner, and a dependable fielder. But above all he is heart and soul in the game. LaPorte was captain last year. Me also graduates in June.

GEHRING
Did you ever see any other man with such a throwing arm as "Chief's"? lie surely can peg them in from right field, lie is a good batter, and plays the game hard. "Chief" is a Senior.
PATTERSON
An old head mi young shoulders. Guess who we're going to tell you about? C. J. Patterson, of course. What "Pat" doesn't know about baseball isn't known They say McGraw of the Giants is the best ball coach there is — but we have begun to doubt. Keep your eve on "Pat". And when it comes down to the game as it is played, "Pat" is a consistent hitter and an outfielder who doesn't make an error. When "Pat" stands up to the plate with that square jaw of Ins turned toward the pitcher, it means trouble for that pitcher. "Pat" turns his back on Bethany this year when he receives the pigskin.

This is "Sam's" second year with the baseball team and. it should be his best year, getting away with a victory over W. V. U. and two vic- tories over the "Dukes". He is very effective at all times and his coolness in pinches has proven that he is one of the most heady pitchers in the " Tri-State Dis- trict".

Nineteen Twenty-Five Baseball Season
With a record oi twelve games won and only one lost the season this year was even more brilliant than those of the past. Baseball seems to be our best spurt. First, because we invariably win a large majority of our games and second, be- cause many ol our diamond performers make good in the game as professionals after leaving school. Bethany not only contributes liberally to the galaxy of stars in organized baseball, but has scored impressive wins over other teams that later sent players to perform "under the big top" as Ed. Wells would saw
The team was rather unique this year in that every member except two were either seniors or freshmen. Five seniors, five freshmen, and two sophomores were the letter men of the squad. It seemed to be an ideal combination of experienced heads and dashing ability. When seven men out of the nine hit over four hun- dred lor the season a long string of victories by large scores must be expected. With such a general lambasting of the hall and consistent air tight work in the field our opponents were simply overwhelmed.
Captain George Elliott finished four seasons behind the bat in a blaze of glory. .Acknowledged one of the best catchers in college baseball "Sheik" has pounded the apple for a four eighty mark in thirteen games thus far this year. Fx-Cap- tain l.aporte has completed his lour years of college ball without missing a minute of play, having performed equally well in the infield and outfield. The most con- sistent slugger of the club, his average is over lour hundred for the four vears and many of the blows were for extra bases. Roark at first has also completed four years of effective effort for the Green and White. I lis play this year was of an especially high order. At second Carey performed in the same dashing manner that he did last year. Baseball is without doubt his best sport and we all wish him well in the two seasons to come. At short and third two freshmen won their spurs in an impressive manner. Peckman in the short field is a second "Pie Trav- nor", while Jacox performs in an inimitable manner at the hot corner. Both of these boys hit for a four hundred clip. Hartley being one of the best on the club. In the outfield we have in addition to Laporte, Gehring with a mighty arm that has cut off many a run at second and the plate, llamill, Patterson and fair have all been responsible for brilliant play in the outfield as well as contributing lustily with the willow.
The pitching heroes of the past have gone but new ones have come to take their places. Sam Hen man is our ace in the box. With strength, enthusiasm and an excellent baseball head Sam is the dean of college flippers in this district at least. With two more years to go he is rapidly approaching the unbeatable stage. We predict a brilliant future for him in professional ball if he elects to follow it after graduation. I lerrman and Kalhaugh. the two freshmen hurlers. will likewise be heard from in vears to come.

IS A MAJOR SPORT, track was dead for a long time on the Bethany campus. However, it was partly revived in 1923, and this year much §P J interest has been taken in the inter-class meet. .More than thirty candi- dates entered. I he Freshmen won with 47 points: the Sophomores came second with 42: the Seniors next with 27: and last the Juniors with 25.
Nee] and R. Crawford tied as high point men. Neel won the KID yard dash in 10 1/5, with Zook a close second. Wilhelm took first in the mile anil the two mile. Winners in this intro-mural meet, entered a dual meet with W. V. I .. the In- state at W. & J , and the sectional meet at Pittsburgh. In these meets Bethany was outstanding when one considers the number of men entered. 1 he Green and White track men in the past have done remarkably veil when one considers the lack of facilities. Now with improved conditions and an expert coach the promise for the future is bright indeed.

Every afternoon one may see him, in white jersey and running pants, out on the athletic field, directing the high jumping or shooting his gun for the take off of a dash.

We would like to know how ".Mac", with his myriad campus activities, finds lime to manage track. But between classes and publication meetings he does find lime Moreover he does it efficiently. The success of the track season is due in large measure to the fact that "Mac" has "his head up".

CRAWFORD
I lere is Roland Crawford, of East Liverpool, a junior, and track captain. Though rather small. he is about as versatile a man as one sees on the track. That is: he is a good high jumper, a fast man in the sprint, and he throws the javelin like an ancient Greek. Did you ever see such a stride? We never did for a man of his size The half mile is his specialty in competitions.
1925 Track Season
\ MAY THE EIGHTH the Bethany Track Team held their first mejt. This was a dual meet with W. lV J. and has proven to us that we have some real track men in our school. The Bethany track men completely outclassed the W. lV J. team, and although handicapped by the absence of "W'id" Fair and "Pope" Idleman, the team totaled 82 points to the "President's" 58. Vergil Elliott, who came here from California, made his debut at this meet. He was the individual star of the meet, taking five first places himself, including the hundred yard dash, the broad jump, the 220, the pole vault, and the javelin. He scored 31 of the 82 points for Bethany, and in the coming meets he should be acclaimed the greatest star in the tri-state district. "Bud" Dimick, who also came here with quite a reputation, was the second high scorer of the meet with I 1 ' _■ points to his credit. He showed wonderful form in both the high and low hurdles. MacWherter brought back fond memories to "Prexy" of throwing the hammer when he was a student at Butler. MacWherter in heaving the hammer out-threw all the other competitors by some forty feet, while Crawford and Patterson took first places in the 880 yard dash and the high jump respectively. Besides the many first and second places taken by the Bison team; one of the best features of the day was the ■'_) mile relax' race. The race was very exciting because Bethany was be- hind when Dimick, the last man lor Bethany, took the baton and by a tremendous burst of speed passed the "President's" last man about half way around the track and brought victory for Bethany. The relay team for Bethany was composed of the following men: Crawford, Salman, Shives and Dimick.

TENNIS
1924 Season
ilQNSIDERING the condition of the courts, and limited opportunities for ' practice, the tennis team made a very creditable showing. The first' match of the season was with Muskingum. Bethany lost 6-0. Then on May / we tied West Virginia at Bethany. Acting Captain Olsey and Kelley lost in the singles, hut Barlow and Kirby won. In the doubles Barlow and Kirby were again victors.
At Pittsburgh the team faced Duquesne in the third match. Here Olsey, Kelley and Hibbler won their matches, making the result another 3-3 tie.
"Doc" Cramblet served as tennis coach, and Hugh McGuire as manager. A great step forward has been the improvement of the courts by the building ol a re- taining wall. Next year a larger and stronger schedule will be possible and is indeed warranted bv the increased interest.

The Nineteen Twenty-Five Tennis Season
1 1 the present progress in tennis continues it soon will bid fair to become a major spurt. I his season a schedule of twelve matches was drawn up and all but one or two of the matches were played. With a squad ol only five or six men out for the varsity team only fair suc- cess could be expected, particularly when the schedule included all of the large schools of the district. A good showing was made at all times and the team was newer outclassed even in defeat and all things con- sidered, the number of victories was quite satisfactory.
The team was made up of lour veterans of last year, namely Bar- low, Kirby, Hibbler and Olsey. Noel Wells came out in earnest in this his junior year and soon won a place on the team and has probably won the highest percentage of his matches, of any member of the squad. Barlow played his regular snappy, consistent game and displayed his wares in the number one position against the best individual stars of the tri-state district, for individual improvement Hibbler has made the greatest gain. Whitey seems to get better with every week of each year, which is the result of many hours spent in practicing. Though small in stature he returns a dazzling Laughford. Kirby and Olsey after getting away to a rather unimpressive start came up and finished the season in consistent style.
With the interest developed this year and the large number of men who have practiced incessantly an even stronger squad may be expected. While every veteran will be back lor .it least one more year there are a number of men who in a wear will be pushing them lor their positions, loo much credit cannot be given to Doc. Cramblet, the coach, and Edwin .Miller, the long suffering Manager, for then efforts in giving us the very best in the tennis line.

FRESHMLN ATHLETICS
PROGRAM of systematized athletics was developed in Bethany as late as two years ago. Previous to that time the Freshmen went out to play oc- cfg J casionally, but on then own hook They were more or less of an inde-
pendent team.
I he "Baby Bisons" now have a regular schedule in football, basketball, and last year in baseball. This spring it was thought advisable to drop the diamond work and concentrate on track. The schedules include games with practically all the high and normal schools of the upper ( )hio valley.
1 hus far the results have been quite satisfactory. It is under Coach Latto's severe training that many of our future varsity stars are being developed. Again here is an opportunity for those who cannot hope to make varsity to gain distinct recognition for athletic activity. Freshman contests furnish exciting preliminaries for varsity games. This year the Freshman basketball games have been particu- lai ly thrilling.
Honor is due Latto and his under-classmen for the way in which they have carried on their share of the Bison athletic program. In addition the benefits which the men themselves receive are bevond estimate.

LATTO
Our Freshman coach is a busy man. Considering fresh- man football in the fall, basketball during the winter months, track in the spring, his "gym" classes, and other duties as physical director, "Bill" Latto is indeed a busy man. Perhaps football is his strongest suit. He knows the game absolutely, having played lour years, two of which he captained the Bisons. At all times "Bill" is in perfect physical condition and naturally insists that his men keep themselves likewise.
1924 Freshman Football Season
1 he Freshmen were defeated only twice last season. We all hoped thev would be still better this year, hut in reality they fared little better than the varsity.
A) the kick-off of the second game McKeever's leg was broken, and Fasick re- ceived a similar injury at Follansbee. The loss of these two men greatly weakened the squad.
In the last game the "Baby Bisons" tied Bridgeport, one of the best high school teams in the Ohio valley. Steeves made the touchdown.
Among those to win class numerals were Coleman, White. Reese, Addy, Steeves, Hamilton, McBane. Idleman, Evans, House, Crawford, Fasick, Dimick and Wal- ther. Coach Latto appointed Steeves as acting captain; later Dimick succeeded him.

Freshman Basketball Tean
Freshman athletics has been rather a recent innovation in Bethany but despite this, the freshmen have always put out good teams, and the "Baby Bison" bas- keteers of this year have been no exception. During the season, they took the scalp of Follansbee High School, one of the strongest in the valley, and others of like calibre. Captain Holland Idleman. well known as "Dutch", was a brilliant per- former, and his long and lanky frame could outreach anything in the Tri-state dis- trict. "Jack" Addy and Lee Wailes were the two forwards and the accurate shots of the former and the fast floor work of the latter chalked up many a point for the yeai lings. House and Hamilton were the main performers at guard. House was responsible for many of the long shots. Hamilton is a fast man on the floor. Coach Latto is to be given great credit for the showing of the freshmen. His able tutelage has been largely responsible for building up the strong yearling teams which Bethany has had the past two years. The freshman home games were play- ed as the extra attraction on the varsity card, and had the spirit of the spectators running high when the varsity came on the floor. .Much spirit has always been demonstrated at these games. But wait, in all this discourse we have forgotten the pride of the team, Andrew A. Coleman. "Andy" is a guard of ability, and was much in demand by the spectators during the entire season. He is likely varsity material at the standing guard position. The boys played a good season of the floor game and they are entitled to congratulations on their fine work.

The aim of the association is not only centered around athletics, hut scholar- ship, personality, and executive ability are equally stressed.
I nder the direction of the association, tennis meets, inter-class tournaments, baseball games, and swimming meets have been held.
As yet the association is young but its success is ever growing and the future holds bright prospects for this group of young women.

Women's Athletics in Bethany
Wdmen's athletics during the last few years in Bethany have been slowly hut steadily sinking into oblivion. Not that the athletics were ever sufficiently satisfactory, but rather that instead of increasing proportionately to the college's other activities, they have decreased. This last school year — 1924-25. has almost completely brought about extinction of the girls' activities along this line. Only this year, basketball was thought to he unnecessary or else too much bother so was discarded; for similar or other reasons the baseball teams, track work, and even swimming have swayed about and finally fallen out of view. Alibis are not numerous; it seems to be perfectly all right, an expected thing and one not to be questioned. But, however small the spark! it may start a roaring fire, and so may the slightest degree of interest displayed in women's athletics arouse them out of their hiding holes
The Bethany College Bulletin does not pretend to sponsor such athletic activities as hockey, polo or golf, much as they are to be desired, but a live physical education course is offered- But disappointment to new students is inevitable when a two hourse course in gym- nasium work is offered and nothing else, except a sprinkling of swimming and tennis. This disappointment is felt by the girls only though — and why' The men are never disappointed for they find here, baseball, track, football, basketball, tennis and some swimming. They do demand a good quality of athletics but even then, at least they have the opportunity of mak- ing their teams just what they can Surely, it is not that men have more need of physical training.
Physical education for women is highly recommended. It has been recognized as a great factor in the development of the future mothers of our race. There is no need to state facts to prove this, but if there is any doubt concerning its truth, glance at other colleges, read medical journals and note the practically world-wide sentiment for girls' not-too-strenuous athletic activities.
The fact of the matter here is that the girls actually wish more than just a taste of athletics. They also realize that it has been said that what training is offered is not taken up with enthusiasm and so-called "pep". This they easily explain. Consider the downfall of girls' basketball this season. They do not deny that practices were poorly attended, that the same few spurred on the attempted work, but they ask, what incentive was presented? It was well-known that only closed games, inter-class, at that, would be permitted by the authori- ties: they saw no other goal at which they might aim. presented as a substitute. In other words they were expected to realize the physical benefit and come for that alone. Following its due course, basketball practice became a thing of the past for too few considered the derived physical benefit equal to the strength required to attend the classes. Let us not call this lazi- ness. Consider the fellows. I low many would go out for football or basketball, if there was not a varsity team in the distance which could be their goal. We daresay a very few.
It perhaps is true that unless athletics are entered only for the physical benefit to be acquired, that they are not of value, but at the same time it is also true that the athletic con- tests play a most important role in ifluencing the desires of boys (and girls) for that benefit. Girls are human and they only ask humane treatment, in athletics as well as other higher things which they have already attained.
There can be found no justification for partiality to he shown either boys or girls of a school, but it is evident in Bethany. The boys here have but a majority of thirty and besides this fact they are restricted in no way whatsoever, as are the girls. The chances are then ten to one for the boys for obtaining necessary exercise. Girls must study from seven till nine o'clock: they must be in the hall at nine for the rest of the night. We could hardly account for all the boys from seven. P. M. till breakfast the next morning. Perhaps they are walking, dancing, or loafing, or playing around. Yes, these provide a certain amount of exercise.
To return to the question of athletics for women, there are many ways which might be possible solutions of this situation. The girls would like a woman for gymnasium work, and this is not an impossibility for Miss Butzer was here two years ago. and even now we hear girls recalling incidents of that time with a certain pride. Is it an advance to drop a woman as physical education teacher from the faculty? Organized schedules, teams and purposes are also practical additions although they are unkonwn to Bethany girls. And in addition, practically every average college, co-educational or womans', supports and fully provides for a hockey team. Bethany girls are surely no different from other college girls and they feel that they could play hockey quite as well as others. However, they claim that now the most elementary athletics will satisfy their present desires. They would like to boast of a team and surely the)' could arouse enough pep and get out and say "we've got to win."

The "Why'1 of Organizations
HEN ONE speaks of "Why's", he can mean most anything. For instance, we ask
the completely abstract question "Why is a cow?" Or. we might ask, "Why is
what-" And. really, the only answer that we can safely give is "Because it is."
There you have it — an organization is an organization because it isn't a cow or a
. Not clear? Lemme explain.
"or example, let us take a verdant unsophisticated and, in plain words, dumb freshman. The first thing he does when he gets off the car is throw out his chest as much as to saw "Here 1 am! You'd better hurry or you won't set me." Very well' We all do it the first day. But, after we are here in the neighborhood for four or five weeks, our aspect changes, and once more we become dumb — absolutely and completely blank-minded. "What is the trouble that all these people aren't fighting over me? Why, when Friend Bill came to school. there was a couple of murders and some kidnapping connected with his advent," the bewildered voung man says to himself. Possibly that is the beginning of all his talking to himself. He may not have anybody else to talk to but himself. Well, all that is of little importance. Shall we pass on to the organizations?
If we read history, we find that the first sign of partial civilization was the organizing of people with people. Look at Antony and Cleopatra, for instance. They organized. Hence, their success. The up-shot of the whole business is that organizations do everybod) some good. (Organ — the Scandanavian word meaning, do. — ization — the Polak word meaning, some good. Hence, do some good.) It matters not whether it be a fraternity, a bird cluo, a ministerial association, a glee club, track team or student council (joke number five), it is hound to accomplish its end.
There are skeptics who continually snort and storm about cliques. Yet, that same indi- vidual will be the first one to take sides m a church row or a dog light, it makes no difference. People are bound to organize. Even in digging a ditch or building our new stadium, it takes organization. One person does this, one that, and so on. each person doing his bit. Do you remember the old war-cry, "Do your bit"' That was the backbone of organization. I like to picture a meeting, say. of the student council (Studeusis Councillium — now an extinct ani- mal— habitat, hollow trees and language rooms). The chairman, pompously sitting on his throne of white pine and nails, brings the meeting to order. The first item of business is the report of functioning committees. 1 hat being done, the second item is the discharge of dead committees. The third item is the appointing of new committees, until, unless you are lucky or absent, you are on a committee, either to consult the President or keep the audicious canines out of chapel. Sure, it's organization What did you expect it was?
With the brief sketch, it is possible to get a cross section drawing of a meeting of any organization on the campus, in the state or in the country. Now do you see where the organ- ization will help its members- Even the unlucky freshman mentioned above can belong to some organization, and in that very belonging, he is benefited. The least little task given to him will help. He may be on any kind of a committee, or he may only have to see that the chairs are in place for the next meeting, but even that is bound to help.
Our local organizations are no exception to the general rule True, if there were no college, there would be no organizations, but they are here for the good of the college, just the same. It is exasperating to hear the critics roar. "Why belong to any kind of an organ- ization?" "Why is an organization?" They curse their more fortunate fellow-men, and be- little their affiliations. They do anything in their power to destroy the very life of a good, clean, live-wire bunch of people who are working together for some good, and do all that simply because they are jealous.
As Noah Webster once said. "Enough is too much." and true. We see nothing but organ- izations on the campus, we hear nothing but organizations, but all the same, we cannot get too much of a good thing. Picture Bethany without anything but classes. Would there be anyone here- It is highly improbable, and. verily, impossible. These organizations may not contribute materially to the student's grey matter, but as for making or breaking a man or woman, girl or bow freshman or senior, they have no equal.
Look through our paper. Take a very long and very good look at our groups of students. Then, inquire around a little bit and hear something about them. Then, for heaven's sake, don't go around asking that eternal and extremely hackneyed question, "Why is an organ- ization?"

I he purpose of this organization was "to promote a more homogeneous student body, to organize and encourage social activities, to promote a feeling of individual respon- sibility in the heart of each student for the welfare of his or her Alma .Mater, and to contribute in every way possible to a fuller and richer stu- dent life."
The students were to elect a student council composed of members from class, to act as a representative body, I his council, through the succeed- ing years has faithfully served the best interests of the student both.
During the past year several new undertakings have been successfully carried out. < In the evening of matriculation day the faculty and council held a reception for the incoming freshmen. This enabled the freshmen to come into close touch with those representing the student body, and to feel more at home in their new surroundings.
Then, too, the Council aided at the Convocation for Freshmen, held the following day, and at this had charge of the Freshmen elections. The Opening Social and Mid-Winter Party have both been successful, due to the planning and the labor of the entertainment committee chosen by the Council. This year on the resignation of the "pep" chairman, the Coun- cil elected three students to serve as a pep committee. This has proved thus far very successful, and has lightened the work of one by giving it to three. A new chapel system has been started whereby one period a week is given over to some student organization. In this way delightful pro- grams have been put on by the Clee Club, Orchestra, and other groups. It would be impossible to ennumerate the little things in which the Council has its part, but it is ever working for the good of the students and the ad- vancement of Old Bethanv.

PUBLICATIONS
111- II RSI publication of the students of Bethany College was the Stylus which first appeared in 1853. It took its place as a com- bination literary magazine and news sheet. But after a few years ot struggle it was suspended. In 18o° another magazine the Guardian made its appearance. This publication like its predecessor, suffered many things and finally gave up the ghost ten years later. Then came the Collegian as the organ of the three literary societies. By a kind of meta- morphisis it has lost its literary aspect largely, has become the voice of the student body independent of the literary societies, and is as we see it today the voice of the student body.
I he first annual was the .Meteor in '96, '97, '98. After that there was none till 1905 when the Kodak was published. It went under this name lor four years when it became the Bethanian.
In 1921 another publication joined the ranks. It was the Bethany Harbinger, the organ of the alumni and the most strictly literary ol the publications.
In the spring of I()2() was formed the Student Board of Publications. It was thought that if the editor of each publication were free of financial worries he might give service to the school through his paper, book or magazine. Therefore the board was formed to take charge ol all the sub- scriptions, advertising and general managment ol kinds ol the college periodicals. The plan has been exceedingly successful. I he board has lived up to all its duties in a most satisfactory manner.

Student Board of Publications
In 1920 the Student Council of Bethany College provided for the creation of a Student Board of Publications. Such a hoard was organized and a temporary constitution worked out. Since that time it has functioned with ever increasing efficiency until today it holds an indespensible place in the plan of our college pub- lications.
Formerly each periodical was under separate management — that is both the editorial and business departments. Of course they are still edited separately, hut now all the business is under the direction of this one board. At the time of organization both the year book and newspaper were in debt. These have been cleared and further more a quarteily literary magazine, the "Harbinger" has been established. All are now running well ahead. This illustrates the real efficiency of our publication hoard.
At first the hoard was composed of seven members. By a revision oi the con- stitution the number has been reduced to five. A man serves for' a year as an assistant before he may be elected. Elections are made by the Student Council at the suggestion of the president of the board. .Members are entitled to scholar- ships. I he president must be a senior.

In 1921 the Bethany Harbinger first came into being. It was to be a quarterly and decidedly literary in character. Realizing that the alumni had no medium of expression, the Board of Publication hoped to make the Harbinger an alumni paper, both for news and also articles written by the alumni of their interests in their post graduate life In the words ol one of its first editors — "It is based on the theory that the college owes its alumni more than mere) athletic scores and accounts of social functions. It owes them a little intellectual stimulant, different from that they receive from the ordinary literary papers of the day: A stimulant which carries in it the atmosphere of the place where they spent their college days: A stimulant which carries to the plastic stage where an impression can be made "
1 his year is perhaps the most successful the maga/me has known so far But the promise of the future is rich indeed.

YI2KA
|0T BY MIGHT nor by power but by Spirit saith the Lord of hosts." With this motto the first Young Women's Christian HjJUg 1| Association met almost seventy years ago in the room of a college girl in a mid-western normal school, growing out of a need felt for Chris- tian conversation and prayer. This Spirit is still the compelling force ot the V. W. C. A. which is taking it into all parts of the world to add Chris- tian color to all phases of life.
Thus, on our own campus. Y. W. C. A. rightly holds a foremost posi- tion among organizations. Unique, hand-sketched posters are placed each week on the corridor indicating its meetings but not revealing its dis- cussions which follow and in which the Christian aspect of the problem is considered. These problems include those known as social, recreational, scholastic, political, religious and all other denomination of activities in the right proportions to develop equally our physical, intellectual, moral, and spiritual natures. This year almost a hundred girls have signed the membership cards each bearing the inscription. "It is my desire to live as God would have me live." A cabinet of fifteen girls meets each week to direct the activities of the group and keep informed concerning the state and national work. Two delegates were sent to the cabinet conference held at Buckhannon this fall and it is hoped that at least two girls will be sent to the annual conference at Eaglesmere. In October, through the visit of about thirty girls from the Industrial V. W. C A. of Wheeling we were brought to know more clearly some of the work-a-dav situations which concern us not merely as social beings but as the homemakers, and profes- sional women of the immediate future in whom, since 1919, has been entrusted very much of the power which makes or destroys high ideals.
Y. W. C. A. is the mother of the "big sister" who at the opening of school conducted the inexperienced girls into the strange labyrinth ol college and kept them from the ridicule of needless wanderings.
So we see that Y. W . C. A. is not one of those replaceable hydrogens, which one hears about in the Chemistry Department, but a part of a union made with the college community which cannot be broken up. It has stored in it infinite potential energv as well as the great amount of the kinetic sort which has already been sensed. Other organizations because they have few bonds joining them to Bethany College may be replaced by other stronger ones on account of more bonds, or else thrown down, the popular cry of the "over lapping of territory" or "over organization" acting as a catalyzer, but Y. W. — Hail thee. Mighty Oueen!

LITERARY
ITERARY SOCIETIES were a part of Bethany from the very
beginning. In 1S41 the American Literary Institute and the Neotrophian Literary Society, were chartered and began their work on the campus. The Adelphian Literary Society was later formed; it was tlie first to admit young ladies. These societies have been the train- ing ground for many of Bethany's orators. Throughout the years they have held high the cultural standard of the college and contributed much to the social life.
The literary society of today partakes of the nature of the open forum, in which the students may voice their opinions upon popular questions and match intellects in the discussions; favored v. ith the line old arts of oratory, debate and essay writing.
For several years the American Literary Institute became extinct, but lour years ago it was revived and is now, perhaps, the most nourishing literary society on the campus. We fear that Neotrophian has passed into oblivion. A lew loyal Neotrophians made a desperate effort last year to revive it, but they soon gave up in despair.
To promote an interest in things literary, four years ago a chapter of Alpha Phi Epsilon, a national honorary fraternity, was installed in Bethany. It has proved an incentive to many a student to do a higher degree of literary work.

Adelphian Literary Society
The Adelphian Literary Society was organized in 1870. At first its member- ship was limited exclusively to ministerial students but after a while other men were admitted. When Bethany became a co-educational institution Adelphia was the first society to admit women.
A. L. S. has always had high standards and aims, and today it is as active as any society on the campus. Its meetings are held in the Library building and the programs are worthwhile and interesting. They are very inclusive and cover a wide variety of subjects, including History, Music, Literature and Art. They afford a splendid opportunity for the expression of musical ability as well as oratory and debate. Wit and humor also have a place in Adelphian programs. Due to the constructive criticism, which is a part of every program one is able to become proficient in platform appearance, and soon has self-assurance and is able to "feel- at-home" before an audience — an asset which is most valuable throughout life.
Adelphia is a friendly organization, where new students receive a warm and hearty welcome, and where friendships are formed which mean much during college days and throughout life.

American Literary Institute
"Lux Descendit E Caelo."
The American Literary Institute was reorganized in 1922, after having slept quietly for a few years. This society was first organized in Bethany in 1842, and ever since its loyal mem- bers have been striving to make it a helpful and beneficial organization It is the oldest society now in existence on the campus
The main purpose of A. L 1 is to develop originality and power of expression in all its members, and to that end are the programs of the society made. The men and women who go out from uniler the A L. l.'s influence will be of outstanding character and ability, who will be equipped and inspired to be of definite service to humanity.
I he policy of the society has been, and will continue to be. to restrict its number to those who are willing to devote some time and energy to the furtherance of its plans, and to the realization of its aim. I hose who have no desire for self-improvement and who are incapable of criticizing self and others do not belong in this group.
I his year A. L. I obtained a new hall which has added greatly to the pleasure of holding meetings.
Our society has contributed men of leadership in political, religious, and other fields, not only in our own country, but in foreign lands, and each member endeavors to live up to the ideals which are inspired by the glorious past of the society.
We hope that the A. L. 1. in the future will be greater than she has been in the past, for each member surely feels his responsibility, and the inspiration of our motto "Lux Descendit E Caelo", will carry us ever forward and upward.

Home Coming Committee
The Mid-Winter Home Coming of the year 1924-25 was undoubtedly the best since that of the .Million Dollar Jubilee Year. The entire man- agement was placed in the hands of three professors, Cramblet, Woolen, and Weimer. They in their turn chose a committee of students to work with them. I lubbard Shoemake was made chairman with the following as members: "Bill" Hill. Virginia Turner. Dorothy Davis, Mildred Mc- Collam. Bayard Saler. John Paul Pack. "Dan" LaPorte. Shelda Tuck and [-rank Donaldson.
The program prepared for Friday night was a musical review. 1 he committee succeeded in discovering talent hitherto undreamed of. The chorus was all that could be desired, and the special dance and song num- bers were cleverly done. Of course long before the date arrived the "powers that be" had decided that the program was to be "celan". To in- sure perfect sanitary conditions the Gold Dust Twins were borrowed for the evening and they carefully chased away all that could be called objec- tionable. Then there was the stunt by "Bill" and "Shu". We haven't gotten over laughing at that yet. We challenge any theatrical company in the country to produce anything funnier than "Shu's" entrance speech, or their encore dance.
The least we can say is that the committee was most successful and it has set up a precedent for future 1 lome Comings. Obviously this could not have been accomplished without splendid co-operation on the part of each member of the college group. The entire week end was proof of the wonders team-work would do in Bethany if given a trial.

MEMFIASQIRS
N 1913 the English Department of the college sponsored the pre- sentation of Shakespeare's "Mid-summer Night's Dream.'' It was performed on the campus in a natural amphitheatre below Ogleby Hall, during Commencement week of that year. This effort on the part o! the department marked the beginning of the Merry Masquers Dramatic Club. Since then it has enjoyed a continuous and vigorous life. By her untiring efforts .Mrs. Bourne established lor herself a unique posi- tion as guardian and protector of the infant society. As it grew she watched over it. and its present success and high standing among campus activities is due largely to Iter.
The most important yearly undertaking of the club is the presentation of a play, generally Shakespearean, during Commencement week. I he proceeds have always been given to some worthy cause. The proceeds from the play of June. '24, were given to the English Department in order that its library might be enlarged.
The monthly programs of the club are planned to quicken interest in the drama and broaden the general understanding of its various phases. Often one-act plays of real worth are presented. At other times papers on the drama and the merits of different schools are read by members.
Membership in the club depends on successful competition in a "tryout" which is held annually for that purpose. More than that it is one of the traditions of the club that it recognize by invitation to membership out- standing talent in other kindred arts which shows itself in college life. It is distinctly an honorary organization and is deserving of the high place it holds on the campus. It has given valuable service in the line of drama- tics during its existence. At various times it was the only organization on the campus which catered to the dramatic element.

DEBATE
IE QUESTION selected by the West Vrginia Forensic Association for this last year's debate was: "Resolved, that Congress be given power to over-ride decisions of the Supreme Court." A vital political question — it offered opportunity for vigorous debating.
Professor Calhoun was again the debate coach. Bethany was fortunate in having among candidates for the teams a number of experienced men. In addition to this, several new candidates showed Lip exceptionally well.
The regular Bethany-Salem-Wesleyan triangle resulted in a defeat for the three affirmative teams. However, since Bethany's negative team won 3-0, and the affirmative team received one vote, the result of the triangle was in favor of the Green and White: Bethany, 4. Wesleyan, 3; Salem. 1,
Two other debates for the men's teams were scheduled — one wit'i Waynesburg — a dual contest: and a similar one with Davis and Flkins.
A new feature was added to the debate program this year: young ladies' teams. A triangle composed of the three rivals, Salem, Wesleyan, and Bethany was formed. This idea of young women's teams proved suc- cessful.

The Forensic Association
The organization of the Forensic Association for the state of West Virginia was a significant event for Bethany. This association has joined all the colleges of West Virginia into a compact effcient organization for the promotion of debate and oratory. It was organized in April, 1923, at the instigation of 1. F. Boughter, Professor of Economics at Salem College. Paul S. Buchannon, then professor of Public Speaking at Bethany, was the first President of the state organization. The local organization was promoted by Professor Buchannon and Frank Donaldson, while the author of the constitution ami fust President was Hugh McGuire.
The present officers of the Bethany chapter are:

ORATORY
IIIS ACTIVITY has been under the supervision of Professor Calhoun with gratifying results. Hugh McGuire, who also has been chosen to represent the college this year, won second place in the State Oratorical Contest last year.
In the sectional contest this year McGuire was one of the three chosen to go to Morgantown to compete in the finals of the State contest.
A school contest was held recently to determine Bethany's representa- tive for next year. Earl Barlow was the winner and he is receiving training under McGuire.
Other men in this field are Reynolds Scott. Harry Wheaton and Olis Cennett.
It is hoped that the plan of choosing the contestant for the state con- test a year in advance will not only improve the quality of the work but will tend to create even greater interest in this line of student effort. A college whose chief aim is the training and development of leaderihip should have a strong department of public speaking. To be able to talk interestingly and intelligently is not only a rare gem in one's crown of abilities but to the man who expects to assume an important place in the activities in his home community, regardless of his profession or calling should have at least a sound grounding in the principles of public speak- ing. As for the ministerial and pre-Iegal student some work in public speaking, both theoretical and practical is almost imperative and should be lequiied for a degree. As the highest of all arts public speaking is entitled to an important place in the curriculum of a college like Bethany.

The Bethany Sheik
You've seen him often round the college campus- With center-parted hair brushed dozen so sleek. Casting beguiling looks at all the lasses — Of course you're seen the Bethany Sheik.
No one but he knows what it's all about ; Monarch is he o/ all he surveys. Both young and old must fall at his command. They simply can't resist his sheikish ways.
What cares he for lessons or for books — He goes to W'ellsburg for his weekly danct At dancing, it is said, he is divine. But for grades, he doesn't stand a chance.
His sojourn here of course must needs be short. For you know this is an average school ; So he goes somewhere else to flirt and -camp, Till again he flunks out, as is his rule.

Bernal R. Weimer
< me of the most honored of Bethany's professors is Bernal R. Weimer. Prof. Weimer did his undergraduate work and took his Master of Science degree in West Virginia University. Later he ser\ed as an instructor in Biology m the same institution, lie came lo us directly from Pennsylvania, where he was a principal in the schools During his four years he has come to take an increasingly active part in extra-curricular activities and has won the esteem of the entire student body.
Since his coming the Biology de- partment has made steady pro- gress, rins year finds it in better condition than it has ever been in the history of Bethany. Electric equipment will soon be installed which will make it equal to like departments in the large universi- ties. There is an elementary lab- oratory and an advanced labora- tory besides the professor's private office and laboratory combined.
The work being done in all classes compares very favorabl) with the best institutions in the country — many of the courses even exceeding those in nearby universi- ties. In all this Prof. Weimer has been the moving factor. Besides his regular college work as professor of one of the two most popular departments in college, he also carries on the work of directing the College Band and Orchestra. Both of these activities entail a vast amount of patience and energy besides the time they take from his already over-crowded schedule. I he work of both the band and orchestra has been on a distinctly high plane. They are organizations of which Bethany may well be proud. One ot the most helpful parts of the Sunday service has been, for many students, the inspirational song service. This is also under the leadership of Mr. Weimer.
In an article such as this it is only possible to state facts, one can not show the attitude of the students to him nor how much we have come to depend on his advice and judgment. To put quite bluntly some of this we might say: He is that rare creature — a professor who is absolutely impartial, lie has a keen, scholarly mind which is not clouded by prejudice. He is more than a teacher — he is a fellow-student.

BAND
|l RING I III: jiast four years, the College Band has become one of the most popular of all the student activities. Whether to fur- nish music lor a pep meeting or to parade in the Memorial Day procession the Band is in constant demand It furnishes all the music for football, basketball and baseball games; it is ready at a moment's notice to give a concert; and above all. its formal concerts are a constant source of delight to the students and townspeople.
Nor can we give all the credit to the members of the Band. Every kind of an organization must have a leader, and the Band is particularly fortunate in having as its director one whose musical knowledge and skill cannot be doubted — Professor Bernal R. Weimer. It is due to his untiring efforts that the Band is a success, for he lias been the one constant worker since the Band was first organized some four years ago.
1 he Band does not confine itself to marches and popular numbers alone. Classical music of the highest type is played on all occasions. It can he easily seen that such an organization is a distinct aid to a school, for it not only is a source of entertainment, but it gives those people who are interest- ed a chance to become proficient band musicians during their four years at Bethany. Our Band is a real Bethany booster and we are proud of it.
A number of formal concerts are given during the college year. I he following program will illustrate the type of music rendered;

To One Whose Love Has Ceased
Sad is my heart and broken, dun are my eyes and wet,
With ease the words are spoken, but I never can forget.
Long will be the days without you, longer still will be each night.
Now our lovers ties are broken, now your love has taken flight.
For it's long that I have loved you. and a day can not estrange; What God's been so long in making, will take longer still to change. Though I fool the world about me, with my artificial gnu. You can know I've not forgotten, that I'm really sad within.

To the Girl in My Dreams
Darling Dreamgirl. Sweetheart Dreamgirl. Little Dreamgirl of the night. Visions of you depart from me As the dawn brings with it light.
Would that you were not so ha-y. That you came not just in dreams; Could I hold you in the daytime Would be heaven to me, it seems.
Now at last the day is over. Dusk is swiftly taking flight. Sweet anticipation fills me — Will I dream of you tonight/

Introduction to Religious Life in Bethany
ELIGION IS inherent in .ill mankind. Throughout the ages men have used it as a means to various ends. Some, to satisfy personal selfish motives. Others, to promote the welfare of humanity. The use to which any religion is put depends on the worshippers knowledge of, and respect for, his god.
The Bible, more than any oilier book, has given us our noblest men and women. Christianity, more than any other religion, has made possible those things in life which we cherish most. The nation that closes its door to the voice of God as revealed through nature, the prophets. Christ, and His apostles, is doomed. The school, college, or university that sends men and women into the world without a sound adequate religious training is failing miserably in its chief duty.
"An eager interest is stirring among thoughtful people today concerning the religious education of our youth. 1 hey seem to discern certain undesirable results of our present educational policy. Boys and girls are taking their places as citi- zens with an apparently increasing indifference towards the established forms of religious expression. An increasing dislike of restraint seems to prevail among them, partly due, perhaps, to lack of the habit of reverence; unquestionably there is an increasing and quite shocking ignorance of the Bible."
Dr. G. Stanley Hall, in his book on "Adolescence" said: "1 cannot find a single ciiminologist who is satisfied with the modern school, while most bring the severest indictments against it for the blind and ignorant assumption that the three R's or any merely intellectual training can moralize."
"Many years ago von Humboldt said: "What you would have in the life of a nation you must first put into its schools. Acting upon this advice, Germany put militarism into her schools and through them brought on the World war.' "
Today manv of our institutions of higher learning are. bv their modem religous

teaching, making skeptics and infidels out of young men and women who might just as easily have been led into a life service fruitful to God, themselves, and humanity.
William Jennings Bryan most truthfully and fittingly said : "There never was a time when the people needed the inspiration of the Bible more than they do today; and there is not a community which cannot be purified, redeemed, and improved by a better knowledge and a larger application of the Bible in their daily life."
We Bethanians are glad to know that our dear old Bethany has not lightly esteemed the sacred trust and high ideals left behind by her illustrious founder, Alexander Campbell.
We are indeed proud to know that Bethany is one of the few colleges remaining loyal to the religious principles and noble ideals taught by Christ and Mis apostles.
We are pleased to know that a sane religious conservatism still exists at Bethany; that within her walls the Bible is reverenced highly; that young men and women are being established on a firm foundation; that many, due to Bible studies pursued in the class room, and other religious training secured through the agency of the Student Volunteer Band, the .Ministerial Association, the V. W. C. A., and the Y. M. C. A., are yearly going forth from her classic halls to minister in the service of our Lord and Master.
The Hebrew prophet Micah said; "He hath showed thee. 0 man. what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love kind- . ness. and to walk humbly with thy God."
Let Bethany's motto be your motto — "Find your place in God's plan and fill it."

With the co-operation of the professors, several men have secured preaching points, and are securing helpful, practical, ministerial experi- ence. This is one of the principal objects of the Ministerial Association.
Two social events are held during the year: the opening social, which makes new students an active part of the organization; and the banquet, which coming in .Maw is one of the delightful events of the school vear.

STUDENT UOLUNTEER BAMb
IE STUDENT VOLUNTEER group was organized .May 25, 1906, with a three-fold purpose: — ( 1 ) To study concerning future work as missionaries in the foreign field. til To aid spiritual ami intellectual growth. (3) To create and foster missionary spirit among fellow students.
The group consists of those who have declared it their purpose to be- come foreign missionaries if God permits. Two of our number attended the International Conference held at Washington, I). C. Six attended the Western Penna. and Northern W. \ a. Conference held at Geneva, .•since there are just fifteen members in the Band this year their intense interest in their work is evident. I he regular meetings are held every Thursday evening in Phillips Hall. This year the programs have varied greatly as to subject, but most of the time has been given to the study of a book "Contacts With Non-Christian Lands."
During the year there have been several visiting missionaries present at different meetings — Miss Allenbaugh from India: Miss Eberly from the Philippines. Also Mr. and Mrs. Smith now on furlough from Africa, art living in Bethany and have been of inestimable worth to the Band. The Conference held here by the United Missionary Society was quite suc- cessful. Bethany is fortunate in having two daughters of missionaries as students this year. They are .Miss Ruth Erskine and Miss Ruth Cunning- ham, both of Japan. Considering everything, this has been a splendid missionary year for Bethany.

TREBLE Clir CLUB
HIS IS THE second year for the Treble Clef Club in Bethany. Bethany has always had a girls' glee club, but the national or- ganization of ["reble Clef Club was organized last year for the urst time. Under the direction of Professor Moos, the club studies thret and four part pieces, operas, and cantatas. During the year the club ap- pears several times, but their big concert is given at Commencement time in June.
The girls have found the work of the club to be of great benefit, and consider it an honor to be a member since there were only twenty-two girls chosen from those who tried out for the club this year.

The Faculty
Above is the average faculty of this average institution. In the center stands the average president. It is to this incongruous motly collection above that the students bring their empty jugs to be filled with knowledge. However they only till them to an average height. This is the bunch also that hands out the rewards to the students for their quiet and orderly behavior during their lectures. These they give in the form of C's and D's, having never received any higher ones them- selves, they object to giving any higher rewards to the present students.
Please excuse Prof. Calhoun's squint. He has just been taking the sophomore class roll in chapel. You observe that one member is a little "off-colaw" in the pic- tin e. but we leave it to your imagination to guess why.

The Senior Class History
This is the Senior Class of 1925, and 1 .1111 the Parrot of the Senior class. Eight years ago most of its members broke all tics with the world and came here as a group ol black and blue freshmen, having come via the Bethany street ear. Some came by mistake: some came to get married: and some came because their parents were selfish and wanted their children to sutler all that they had suffered. However, these motives are of little importance now because the class has reached the place where they see their mistake and are just waiting until good weather in June to leave.
As the little dears became accustomed, the black and blue laded and they were dragged into the torture of classes. I hex finally became interested in all the funny entertainment afforded them by the Profs. They not only made philosophy and literature in the class room, hut they made trouble on the campus.
The Ladies' Aid were overjoyed by the new members; the Moo Moos saw some quite promising members, and the two deans received them into their respective folds; while the fraternities made wild grabs for the ones with the jack.
During their Sophomore year they were more grown up and the) took honors, more cuts than they were supposed to, the freshies hair, and every one elses girls. In fact their taking ways were manifested in .1 number of ways.
At last as Juniors they made the usual social blunder by giving the most boresome banquet to the Seniors that any one could stand.
Aha! Now they are Seniors! As they look back over the eight years of hibernating, they realize what an asset they have been to Bethany. As they go out from their Alma Mater, they will cherish the lessons learned in their school days. Bethany's conditions and short comings get more wearing as their Re-Entry into Life draws near.
Yes, 1 am the Parrot of the Senior Class, and 1 have told the truth about them, — things that should be known.
The Junior Class History
Three exceedingly poor years have passed; we are at the close of the third or our Junior year. We have made steady attempts to climb up that ladder called Success. Now that we have gotten up a little piece — the fact that some of the spokes broke when we tried to get on them, kept us from getting as far as we thought we would, — we hardly dare to pause and look up to that dizzying heighth where stands the Seniors. But we are bold and we can at least look back from whence we came, and imagine how we must have looked. Back there down on the ground we see some little freshmen scrambling. 87 strong, to reach the ladder. What a disgusting sight' They need no trumpets to announce their advance, for their brilliant greenness and unheard of racket por- tray their approach.
As they draw near the foot of the great ladder, unlike most freshmen they do not begin their ascent immediately, but flounder around trying to get organized.
Having finally gotten started, they try to distribute themselves about the college, and get into some activities. The Glee Clubs. Ath- letic directors, Literaries, and fraternities helped them to feel good by asking one or two of them to join their organizations. Like all people laboring without a cause, they got their just rewards; bald heads and duckings in the Buffalo.
Having been labeled as "Perfect Fools", their first year, they ac- complished the same amount the following two years. But now we turn, ceasing to mourn over the past, and try to discern that dizzying heighth of a Senior; not to rest upon the accomplishments of the pres- ent Seniors, but to prepare ourselves to be worthy of their place which we are about to fill.

The Sophomore Class History
After another Ions slide, we again stop to gaze up the mountain mo1!.- which we are some day hoping to travel. Rough and rock strewn though it is, yet with a feeling of joy and satisfaction we ponder over the pleasant anticipation and the narrow escapes that are still to be ours in the upward climb. As we look back our mistakes which stand out like telephone poles, fading into oblivion, cause us to thank providence that we can take our place in the life "he-a" in Bethany.
Last year, amid our uncertain efforts to sing "Barney Google", and the monotonous whine and smack of paddles, the valient sophs instilled in us the spirit of "Old Bethany". This year, however, the fresh have been deprived of that most valuable phase of their education, so they go stumbling along in the darkness of their own conceit.
This year has found many members of the class of "27" sitting serenely on the sidelines criticising those that are fighting for the school we love. But not only have we failed to do our bit in athletics hut in the other activities as well. The hand annoys us. we abhor debating, and the orchestra sounded pretty poor that one time we heard it, — in chapel. In scholarship we all excel, overruling precedent, and establish- ing new records. In fact, by the whole-hearted co-operation of the entire class, eighty-five per cent of us flunked at least one subject our freshman year.
For two years we have partaken of the fellowship and inspiration of Old Bethany in our own self-centered, parasitical manner. Our one hope is that in the coming year of our stay "he-a" we will get all we can and give as little as possible — then sally forth to gain victory for "Ego".

Athletics
The athletics in our Alma Mater are in deplorable shape. Due to the lack of finances. "Doc" Elderbush announced early last fall that Bethany could support only two teams. The first of these, the La Crosse team, had a wonderful season. L'nder captain Bootmaker, it never lost a game. 1 heir success was due not only to the fact that they canceled every game, hut also to the fact that the co-eds of our in- stitution offered to use all of the team's spare cigarettes, so training would be easier to keep.
Indeed we are proud of our team, and of all the wonderful co-opera- tion on the part of the student body entire.
Our other team was not able to function in the fall, but intends to carry on an intensive, extensive program this spring. Just now the personnel of our Polo team is not quite settled. The most likely candi- dates are Saler, I lousten, Gardner, Norm Crawford and Pack. Allen Doolev and Donald Cashman maintained that their ability as horsemen entitled them to a place on the team, but Coach McCandlelight said that they lacked the necessary how-legs for sticking on a pony. "Doc" Elderbush has decided that ponies for practice are entirely too expensive, so Mackey, Shoemake, I less and Warren have volunteered their ser- vices. Our first match is with .Mount I lolvoke. Now we must have more pep and support this team.

Women's Athletic Association
Some of the athletic girls of Bethany decided three years ago to have their own separate teams in school, so they formed, for that purpose, a girls' Run and |ump
Association.
Under the direction of the association, the girls' teams played the varsity teams in football, basketball, baseball, and tennis anil quite often won by a large score.
I he aim of the association, however, is not only centered around athletics and men, hut character, personality and general ability .ire equally stressed -now, we don't understand.
The organization is still young Hut we are hoping thai in the future they will soon grow up, as their success as a joke is growing.
The Bethany College Band
During the last lour years the college and grammer school band has become one of the most tiring of all the student activities, both to those in and out of it. Whether to furnish music for a funeral or a pep meeting it demands that it have a chance to strut its stuff. It furnishes all the noise lor football, basketball, and baseball games; it is ready at a moment's notice to attempt a concert, which always is a source of amusement lor the four students and two townspeople who attend. All others of the school believe that distance lends enchantment, so they try to enjoy the concerts from the campus or roads ol the village.
The band does not confine itself to marches alone. Jazz is its chief mainstay. This \ear it has succeeded in obtaining the very latest pieces out, such as "Oh What a Pal Was .Man", and "Yes We Have No Bananas". In short our band is a real booster and they are proud of themselves.

The Funny Falseface Dramatic Club
In the year of the Great Hoods, the Fnglish speaking classes of the college sponsored the presentation of Shakewood's "Midsummer's Night- mare". It was performed on the campus in a natural arena under- neath Gurgleby Mail, during Beginning week of that year. This struggle on the pari oi the classes marked the first breaths of the Funny False- face Dramatic Club. It has suffered since than a continually violent life. By her ever-tiring efforts, Mrs. Born established herself as boss and big chief of the baby society. As it grew, she coaxed, petted, and sometimes chastised it, and pushed it into its present elevated position on the campus.
I he annual undertaking of the club is held after another Shakes- wood struggle. I he receeds always go to some charitable cause. Those of last year went to buy more books for assignments in the cause of the English teachers.
1 he monthly programs are planned to give the certain fortunate ones of the school another night to hi/./.
.Membership in the club depends on a "try-for" to see who can talk the loudest and funniest. Then Mrs. Born votes on them. It is also a tradition that outputting talent in other anaesthetic arts be admitted. Il is a distinctly honorable organization and those are lucky who belong. It has given valuable service in the line of cosmetics and bizzetics dur- ing its existence, being at times the only organization on the campus that catered to such elements.

The Y. W. C. A.
This association oi young women known to the public as the Young Women's Christian Association, is in reality the Young Would-be's Camouflage Association. It is the only general women's aid organiza- tion mi the campus. Every Thursday evening the girls gather together in the parlors o1 Phillips llall to discuss vital questions that are of importance to them. It is the purpose ol the organization to live a well Proportioned life. — socially (as to the best wa\ and the best places to hi// or dance), physically (as to how to reduce and how to cultivate beauty), spiritually (as to how to keep in good spirits with the present administration of the college), and mentally (in the form of little ses- sions ).
It is the aim of the association to keep the fellows guessing, ami to knock some of their conceit out ol them. All their methods are kept up to date by sending girls to National and State Conventions.
A point of contact is created between the upper classmen and fresh- men by the "Big Sister" plan. By this each older girl is responsible for putting a new girl next to the "ropes'' of the school. Then. too. the "big sister" gets the first chance to rush the new girl to her sorority.

The history of the Literary Societies of Bethany commenced in 1724, one year after the college was founded. They were three in number: The Neotrophian Literary Society, The American Literary Institute, and The Adelphian Literary Society. The first one is now extinct, the second is very weak from resuscitation and from drawing, for so long, its last breath, and the last one is failing.
These triumphant societies have been the battling ground for many of Bethany's torturers, for it was in them that they first began to per- form publicly.
The literary society of today partakes of the nature of a rest cure, where each member on Monday eve, settles down for an hour or two o:f ease while some generous brother lulls him to sleep by one of the fine old arts of singing, speaking, or reading. Not only have they thus aided, but they have contributed much to the social life of the college. Guess how — we can't give things away.

Alpha Xi Delta
Badge: A disgarded tooth brush, the handle of which has a row of moth balls along the side as disinfectants. The letters ASA are set in the brush.
I his is our no-man's organization. However they believe in helping the men oi the school out once in a while, for they even have a room in their cellar fixed up for "biz". They were supposed to have a pretty hard time of it all year, as their matron is a ".Miss" and didn't understand the ways of children; but you could get away with a lot if you only knew the "ropes".
1 heir chiel ambition is to do nothing, at which they have been a success. We could say some good things about the Alphs. but we are just publishing the truth.
Z. T. A. Fraternity
Badge: An emblem similar to those sent to people when they are dead. It has a crown in the center with greek letters around it.
I he emblem which was presented to the sorority by the school is symbolic of the condition ol the present chapter. The crown means that they sure pull the crowning events. These are the girls who live on the main drag. There is an ad- vantage to this, as the noise from the traffic drowns out the noise of their weekly dances. Their favorite sport is "Fruitbasket Upset" which they play always with regard to men and clothes. .Maybe you don't get the full significance of this, — you have to know them first.
Two hundred sixteen
Kappa Alpha
Badge: A square on end, with a bunch of jack straws on it, forming a daggar, the letters K. D., and A. 0. T.
The jack straws arc symbolic of the wickedest game the K. D.'s believe in play- ing. The daggar stuck us when we tried to figure out what it means. The letters are lull of significance; K. 10. meaning "kinda dumb"; and A. ( ). T. meaning "all cm top", which is what they were when it came to grades. The K. D.'s chapter was installed in lc'2> just soon enough to he settled before leap year. However, they didn't make much use of the opportunity, hut are still struggling. Keep go- ing K. D.'s we're sympathizing.
Gamma Chi
Badge: A horn with a hunch of tennis halls stuck in the end of it. symbolic of the athletic hunch of girls in this group.
Gamma Chi has been with us such a short time that we have not been able to determine as yet, any of their good qualities. We guess they intend to do their own tooting in the future so we'll let you observe for yourself.
Two hundred seventeen
Beta, is a well known adjective meaning — Boisterous.
Theta, means — thick-headed.
Pi, is a Spartan noun meaning — Prunes.
I hus in their own words we have this group described.
The most outstanding and best known Beta symbol, — the one which they strive most earnestly to make prominent, is the loving cup. Thus far they have succeed- ed fairly well.
It is a well known and established fact that the words Beta and Athlete may be used synonomously. I heir athletic powers, however are of various kinds, not for- getting the "parlor athletes".
Sigma Nu
Badge: An airplane propeller with an extra arm or two as an aid to help them be faster. A dead snake rests in the center.
Sigma Nu was founded at the same time in hall a do/en colleges by groups of men who failed to make fraternities, keeling immediately a strong opposition, they got up Sigma Nu as a sort of a substitute. It is.
To be a Sig you must be a ladies' man, have at least three pins, two of which you are willing to have out at once, dress freakish but different, and always be able to look innocent. The Sigs were sure thoughtful when they built their house on the campus, as it is much handier for the ladies.
Two hundred eighteen
Kappa Alpha
Badge: A picture of a rather discouraged looking animal, significant of the ex- pression worn by the brothers most of the time.
I his is the name ot one of our good boarding houses. Kappa Alpha was found- ed in the South and we are told that in the South it is very strong. Bethany is con- sidered a Northern school. In describing our Bethany (k)nights we would say that they were fine for hi//, often full of moonshine, cool and starry- for the l\. A.'s do have their stars —but they don't get any place. They're not so good for pins, how- ever, hut the nirls are still working on them.
Phi Kappa Tua
Badge: A gilt-edged picture frame enclosing a touching picture on oil-cloth, dem- onstrating the artistic temperament of this group.
Phi is a Greek work meaning "flat".
Tau translated into our lingo means "tire",
1 hus we have the group of boys that wear this badge, accurately described. Their chief occupation is handshaking, and their outstanding talents are canoeing and knecking, although a few of them are noted for their musical ability and can render beautiful selections on the player piano.
I hey have among their number some of the outstanding men ol the school. Namely, Harry I less, the richest man in Bethany; Conly Harsh, Herman Patton, and Charles Clark, the best comedians east of the Buffalo.

A Lot of Applesauce
The Junior Prom held this year in the top floor of the Federal build- ing, was a great success.
The Senior girls were entertained by a smoker in the apartments of the Dean of Young Ladies.
Joe .MolTel and Allen Reed were automatically dropped from school for leaving Cochran Hall one night about ten o'clock, by way of the fire escape. Said young men had no valid reason for such conduct, to give their matron.
There is a movement on foot to establish, in connection with the Bethany hook store, a Date Exchange Bureau. All applications are to he sent to Morris Marling, Prof. Perry the 2nd, with a deposit fee of 81. (10.
The members of the faculty honored Professor and .Mis. Hall I.aurv Calhoun, in appreciation of their departure, with a tea-dance, given in the basement of the Heights. The tea was of the usual "white-mule" brand.
Notes From the Last Faculty Meeting
1 he Seniors this year, due to a strenuous commencement, were ex- empt from all examinations lor the whole year, and were given a three weeks vacation, so they might go home for a little rest, and get their new clothes ready for graduation.
Due to the good conduct of the entire student body this year, the faculty decided that Bethany was reads' for the "Honor System". From now on, all rules will be abolishd, and all examinations will be conduct- ed under said system.
Now that we have electricity all day and all night, the hour lor the ending of our dances will be extended to 4:00 A. M.

That Frat Pin
When first you see it. so lightly it rests. Under a man's coat so peacefully. And there of course it's 'sposed to stay. I ill some dame steals its coqiiettishl v.
It then leaves its initial resting place To gleam and glitter o'er her heart — The man and maid pledge their eternal love That only death can ez'er part.
Life flows on quite smoothly for a while — Until — we see it on his vest once more. What's happened that his object has returned To adorn the young man's bosom as before.
If he is like all other men we know — He soon forgets his first fair love. — and then He goes in search of some one else. So Some other girl now wears his frat pin.
By Fachel Belindsay.

Ode to those Peculiar Specimens- Bizz Couples
in Bethany, tis a funny thing;
There go two people round about
Who with each other arc content, no doubt.
Of these bin couples, — happy fools, — / sing.
Now Bicky and PauU-little and sweet, Once in the tower gave us a treat.
And Grace, with "My By this, and my By that" Never from her sight, she watches him like a cat.
Olive and Dan now lor three years struggled thru' Quarrels and reunions, lint they're true blue
Helen and her fickle Bob,— he doesn't know
His own heart. — two women so lair. — quite the beau.
There's Wilma and Sumpy, — who knows it all
And could quite easily lake over the science hall.
hie; and Don. really it's love sincere. And lo the proper end they'll go I fear.
Dorothy and George, a pair of twins; Look alike, and we suspect a hidden pin
A real sweet girl and a man good and true. Two of the best. — we mean Peg and SHU.
Mary and Scotty, — a romance quite hot; Always fighting. — true love'/ — / should say not.
Now Ted and Virginia, — they're always together Sever apart, in ram or shiny weather.
A new engagement . — Ruth and Eddie. So short a courtship. — Were they ready/
I ois and lack, engaged for a long time.
His family is convenient; their love's in its prime?
Vina and her sweet voiced Baird Always go out where others never dared.
Edna and her athlete Macky.
Don't have much love, but he acts as her lackey.
Evelyn is a freshman, quite in love with Nations; At last Odonis fell. — Pretty soon they'll be rclatunis
Gladys and Elliott, — is it really love/ Remember marriages arc made above.
fcannettc and Wid are a couple well liked; Every hill, every valley, every road they've hiked.
And Betty and Bud. — those cute Dutch twins. Too bad Mamma says she's too young for pins
Helen and Whiter, so sleek and so sly We feet their engagement is quite nigh.
Mac and Esther, — his whistle constantly heard ; Interrupts meetings and sleep. — quite a bird.
New couples spring up. but then die out
These steadies are the ones you sec about
I bey're happy, so let's leave them alone
Perhaps they'll break up. or maybe build a home.

World's Best Printers Art Critic Picks Ziegler Product
COMPETING against Products of the Best and Largest Printing Houses in America, one of the school annuals turned out by The Ziegler Printing Company, Inc., The INSTANO of Indiana State Normal, last season, won the award second to but one.
The schools in the class in which the INSTANO was entered include more than three-fourths of the colleges and universities of the country. New York University's book alone topped the Ziegler Company's product.
Hundreds upon hundreds of annuals were in competition.
The Ziegler Company is proud of this distinction because —
It is due recognition of ten years of consistently suc- cessful School Annual publishing.
It is national recognition and the judge was the world's greatest printers art critic, Harry Hillman of the Inland Printer of Chicago.
ALL the work connected with turning out printing and binding products is done in our own plant. Our printing plant, as well as our binding plant, is complete
The Art Crafts Review, national publication of the Art Crafts Guild, referring to the Ziegler Company's success, said: "The printing and engraving on the Instano are excellent." This is the highest praise that could be given.
We are content to be known by Results.
This book is another sample of the standard of excellence estab- lished by the Ziegler Company from year to year.
