Foreword
As you leaf through the pages of this annual, while listening to the strains of the "Alma Mater"" or the "Bell Song,"' the 1953 Bethanian staff hopes that you may relive something of your year at Bethany. Of the many events which now remain only as memO' ries of the past; some are more vivid than others, but they are all a part of the friendly atmosphere and the traditional heritage that are typical of life here at the "college on the hill."" The enthusiasm of the Freshmen, the noise and color of their parades, all the thrills of football games in early fall, the crowded Homecoming weekend; the excitement of the pre-Christmas season with the choir's presentation of "The Messiah," the gaiety of the all-college Christmas dinner, the faculty play; the intensity of "Joan of Lorraine" and "Darkness at Noon;"" the welcome for the new President; the festivities of Founders" Day; and finally, what is the most vivid for Seniors — all the Pomp and Circumstance of the seventh day of June. All this is Bethany — from the brilliant hues of Fall to the fleecy down of Winter and the green magic of Springtime . . . Bethany as kept within the covers of The Bethanian.
Mary Stephens Editor-in-Chief

Bethany's campus is lulled with silence as the students depart for the summer. Some students and faculty travel abroad, others at home; some broaden their experience with new and interesting work; some get acquainted with other campuses during summer sessions.

Dedication
Present the facts and do not appease the rumor. Employ your own imagination and originality. Avoid imitation.
For a quarter of a century "Prof" Roberts has expounded these general criteria of finer journalism to in- numerable Bethany students. However, "Prof" has been far more than just the head ot the journalism department. He has virtually become an institution withm an institution.
His courses have long been noted for a variety of subject matter, a variety which gives him the right to be called Philosopher of Bethany. His criticisms have been accepted as inspiration, a rare but essential quality for such a field as writing.
His interest in his students has been genuine. Certainly his "news letters" to graduates of his department, which in themselves exemplify the warm virtue of his personal touch, manifest this particular characteristic. What Bethanian would not smile at being reprimanded in this Roberts' chronicle for a grammatical error in his letter to "Prof?" Or which one would not chuckle at being individually scolded for not attaining higher goals m lite more rapidly?
His idiosyncrasies, his subtle humor and wit, and his appreciation of the human element, have earned him a place of high regard m the Bethany family. After twenty-five years of such service, it is a humble privilege to dedicate the 195.1 Bethanian to "Prof" Roberts.

September 21 was the red-letter day — the first day .it Bethany for the Freshmen. Little did they dream that first day as they gazed at each other, that they would be given the title of "pace-setters."
Freshman Orientation Week will remain as a memor' able experience: tests; green and white beanies perched on curls and crew cuts; name cards; reception lines; sophisti- cated upperclassmen.
The class was successful in presenting the Freshman Follies which revealed much undiscovered talent m the class.

Football hopes were high for the Bisons in early Septem- ber but went glimmering as the season progressed. Coach Don Fuoss' pre-season prediction that the success of the Bisons would depend mostly on whether or not suitable replacements could be found to give depth to positions and to fill m for key performers in the event they were injured, proved to be very true. Injuries cut into the thin squad from the first game. Had there been just a few more men of caliber equal to those who carried the brunt, there probably would have been a different outcome than the 160 record which the Bisons compiled.

CoCciptdin Bob Decker, who set WVSIC passing rec- ords in 1951 by gaining 1,130 yards in eight games via the aerial lanes, was the chief target for the opposition. While Decker saw only limited service throughout the season be- cause of an aggravated injury, once again he led the WVSIC 111 total yards g.nned passing by accumulating 855 yards in seven games.
In the Davis and Elkms game, it was an even b.ittle throughout the first halt. Lack of bench strength caught up with the Bisons during the second half and D &? E puUed ahead to win the game, 40 20. The bright spot m the game
for the Bisons was Decker's three touchdown pitches to Boyer, Valot, and Taibi, as he gained 242 yards vi.i the aerial lanes against D fe? E.
The tollowmg week the Bisons met Carnegie Tech at Wellshurg Memorial Stadium. After a nip and tuck first halt which saw Tech leading by a 7 0 score, lack of bench strength again caught up with the Bisons and the final out- come was 27 12. Little George Taibi thrilled the crowd with a 72 yard touchdown run and a Decker to Boyer touchdown pass covering 65 yards was equally as impressive. Defensive captain, Ron Zucchelli played an outstanding game.

The Carnegie Tech game proved costly to the Bisons as there were numerous injuries, and Lazasz, Chaney, and Bill Pollock received fractured bones during the contest. These men did not see action again until the final home game of the season against Marietta. In the meantime, the Bisons were held scoreless on three consecutive Saturdays while Westminster scored 33 points, Waynesburg accumulated 35 points during a rough contest which resulted m additional Bison miuries, and Hiram defeated the Bisons by 18 points. During this time Coach Fuoss shifted his personnel around seeking replacements to fill positions m an injury-riddled line-up, but this proved futile.
After an open date on November 1 , the Bisons took the gridiron against Marietta in their final home game of the season. A revived Bison team almost at full strength for the first time since the Carnegie Tech fray defeated Marietta 32-0. Co-captain Bob Decker broke the WVSIC record for yards gained passing in a single contest by completing 19 passes for 266 yards. Sophomore Bob Boyer scored four of the Bisons' five touchdowns, three on passes from Decker and one on a 64 yard dash through the Marietta line.

played outstanding defensive football. After holding a 6-0 lead at the end of the first half, the Bisons, playing most of the game without the services of injured Bob Decker, were unable to hold Grove City in the final game of the season. The Grovers were out to avenge a 33-12 defeat which the the Bisons had inflicted upon them the previous year. The Grovers were successful, and the Bisons ended up on the short end ot a 19-6 score. The Bisons' only touchdown came on a 13 yard pass from Decker to freshman Jack Mox.
The Bisons lose the the tollowing men by graduation from the 1952 squad: Bob Decker, Bill Aldrich, Ron Zucchelli, George Taibi, Dan Altemese, Herb Johnson, Gordon Anderson, and "Bo" Valot. On the 1953 football schedule, the powerful Carnegie Tech Tartans and the equally powerful Waynesburg Pioneers, Tri-State Class B champions for the past two years, will be replaced by Thiel College and Capital University. The remainder of the schedule will be the same as in 1952. The Bisons are look- ing forward to a better year in "53 !

Basketball
Led by senior Captain Bill Aldrich, the Bethany basket- ball squad finished up the "53 season with a record of nine wins against twelve defeats. Playing a rugged schedule, the Bisons even m defeat, looked good as most games were decided in the final seconds. With Aldrich, Bill McClay, Jack Wheatley, Ed Kakuk, and Bob Hettler hitting the hoop, there was no stopping the team once they started rolling. Others who did some outstanding work on the team were Gene Beisel, Gordo Anderson, Danny Altemese, and frosh Art Gheen, a real comer m the basketball world. Some of the outstanding highlights of the campaign were such tilts
as the second Westminster game, when the Bisons drubbed the Titans easily in one of the big upsets of the district, and one of the few times in past years that the Green and White stopped Westminster. Another star-studded game was the Thiel game m which the Bisons fought back from a seventeen point defeat and won the game in the closing seconds on goals by Art Gheen. Included in this array of great games must be the W. V. U. game which saw the locals hold the highly- touted Mountaineers to a tie ball game at half time really giving the fans a treat bi'fore being defeated in the closing minutes.

Baseball
The Bison baseball diamondeers, ccached by John Knight, have just about completed another season and one which saw some great ball being played by the locals. The '53 seasons team, bolstered by such lettermen as pitchers jack Wheatley md Ed Kakuk, kept the Green and White hopes high throughout the season. Other veterans included catcher, "Fuzzy " Karr; iniielders, John Grunzweig, Rich Edwards, and Slugs Zuchelii with the outfield being capably handled by Sonny Thomas, George Russell and Buzz Austin. Austin continued to show that extra something that makes baseball what it is today. Last year Austin led the Bethany squad m batting. Around to harrass opponents next season will be almost the entire squad which should make the Bison territory a spot for good baseball.

SENIORS
With the coming of Spring, each Bethany Senior is faced with the realization that his college days are limited. For four years he has climbed the hill to his early morning classes, paced the corridor, and never tailed to scan the notices of events which were foretold on the bulletin board. But now that Spring has come, he knows that his trips to Old Mam are numbered.
He becomes more keenly aware that there will be many other Springs ahead of him and many other hills to climb.
The seasons which have entered and exited throughout his college days have become an integral part of his life, for they have offered him valuable experience not only in know- ledge but m daily living.
In the Spring the Senior prepares to leave Bethany, his Alma Mater, for the last time. Yet, in doing so, he prepares to apply to his future life those benefits which she has given him.

TO BETHANY'S GRADUATES - WE ISSUE A CHALLENGE • A new idea — complete liberty and freedom for the individual was "declared" in our Declaration of Independence. • h'or the very first time, equal opportunity was provided for everyone with the incentive that the fruits of one's labor could be retained as a per- sonal reward for personal effort. • This idea sparked a chain reaction and in America's short 177 years, we have witnessed such an "explosion of human energy" as all history has never before seen. The results — more of everything, the highest standard of living and human dignity. • Will you help this chain reaction and keep America the Land of Oppor- tunity with Individual Freedom?

The Honeymoon is over! Now is the time to advertise. Don't expect to sit in your nice warm office and expect the orders to come to you as they do to the Advance Printing and Litho Co.
The addition last week of another 4-magazine linotype and Kluge auto- matic pre.ss only proves our growth has been the result of our customers' demands . . . from the hand-fed platen press to the high-speed automatic cyl- inder presses there is no printing or lithographing job too great or too small to prove our ability to serve our customers promptly and efficiently.
VVe have no preference a-s to the type of printing required. Our normal production is most versatile and includes most every item required in this age of modern merchandising.
