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.

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. 

Lawrence  .Murray — 1  leave  my  pull  with  the  Dean  of  Women  to  Ted  Kemp 

Lillian   Ray — I   leave  my  petiteness  to  "K"  Cope. 

Hugh  McGuire — The  load  on  my  shoulders  I  willingly  leave  to  Kirkpatrick. 

Ruth  IFvydln — 1'  leave  my  latin  pony  to  Grace  Dennis 

Edwin  Miller — I  leave  my  free  posture  and  long  swinging  gait  to  Billy  Robinson. 

Biron  Townsend — I  leave  my  purity  and  Grace  to  the  Brothers. 

Virginia  Turner — I  leave  my  "pull"  with  the  faculty  to  Eleanor  Rosenburg. 

Normal  Ward — My  common  sense  I  leave  with  Asa  Liming. 

Dorothe  Davis — Since  co-operation  and  good  will  are  necessary  in  the  biology  lab..  1  am  go- 
ing to  will  my  position  to  W'ilma  Moninger.

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 


season  I  saw  him  in  an  act  of  his  own      lie  told  me  in  a  personal  interview  that  he  was  .1  free 
lance,  Juing  one  night  stands. 

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.

Alma  Mater 


Air— "Old  ( taken  Bucket' 


All  bail  to  thee,  hail  to  thee,  bright  Alma  Muter! 
Our  heart's  true  affections  twine  closely  to  thee; 
How  dear  to  our  hearts  are  the  scenes  of  old  Bethany: 
God  speed  Alma  Mater  and  Old  Bethany. 

REFRAIN 

We'll  honor  and  crown  thee.  0  bright  Alma  Mater. 
For  thou  art  the  regent  of  our  destiny. 
We'll  bring  thee  the  gems  and  the  treasures  of  memory 
Cod  speed  Alma  Mater  and  Old  Bethany. 

II. 

High  up  on  the  scrole  of  honor  and  fame. 
Thy  sous,  strong  and  manly  have  written  thy  name. 
But  now  we  must  leave  thee,  with  hearts  over-flowing: 
Fare-well,  Alma  Mater  and  Old  Bethany. 


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,

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.

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.

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.

"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

thai  good  balanced  sense  and  understanding  that  go  to  make  a  genuine  and  interest-

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

from  this  religiously-inclined  member  of  our  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

natives.     ( I  am  referring  to  Kirk  Woolery).

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

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.

A  love  nf  the  old  game  brought  "Tubby"  back  to  us  for  another  year,  lie  re- 
turned to  us  a  much  improved  player  and  his  work  last  year  was  of  no  mean  quality. 
For  two  years  he  has  been  a  valiant  warrior  for  the  Green  and  White  and  he  plays 
the  kind  of  "heads  up"  football  that  is  a  joy  to  watch  We  sincerely  hope  that  he

Mingo  Junction,  Ohio  5  feet,  8  inches  165  poi  nds 

Paul  Neel,  the  triple-treat  boy  from  Mingo,  should  have  the  name  "Speed".  At 
running  ends  there  are  few  who  are  his  equal,  and  his  work  at  interference  is  note- 
worthy, lie  has  another  year  of  service  and  doubtless  greater  achievements  are

HESS 
Bellbrook,  Ohio  5  feet.  9  inches  180  pounds 

Here's  the  one  Al  Jolson  means  when  he  sings  "Big  Boy".  He  is  Harry  Hess, 
center  on  our  grid  team.  Harry  played  tins  position  most  of  the  season  till  a  big 
'"shiner"  acquired  in  practice  impaired  his  eyesight  for  the  last  few  games.  When  he 
was  in  a  game  opposing  centers  soon  found  it  out,  and  Harry  merits  credit  for  a  clean

"Lefty"  is  especially  strong  on  the  offensive,  and  when  it  comes  to  aerial  attack,  he 

is  all  there,     lie  has  two  more  years,  and  should  develop  into  a  most  valuable  man.

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

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.

guard,  and  does  his  full  share  in  any  combination. 


RYAN 

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.

ROARK 

George  stars  on  ihe  first  sack.  He  is  as  finished  a  player  as  one  often  sees  in 
college  baseball.  It  is  a  thrill  indeed  t < >  see  him  pull  one  out  of  the  air,  and  hear  the 
umpire's  "Out".     It  will  be  difficult  to  fill  his  place. 


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.

"Sam"  has  proven  to  be  one  of  the  greatest  right  hand  pitchers  that  ever  stepped 
in  the  box  for  Bethany.  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".

And  here  we  have  Carl  llamill.  Adonis  of  the  diamond  A  southpaw,  ladies  and 
gentlemen — one  of  the  two  on  tile  roster  of  the  club,  lie  holds  down  the  initial 
sack,  and  when  we  say  he  fills  the  position  we're  not  meaning  anything  different. 
That  old  left  lunch-hook  of  his  picks  up  a  ball  anywhere  within  the  radius  of  fifteen 
feet  of  the  base. 

TAKK 

"\\  id"  attracts  much  attention  by  his  playing  in  left  field.  His  work  at  the  bat 
is  decidedly  above  the  average.  As  this  is  only  his  Sophomore  year,  he  should  in 
the  future  be  a  strong  support  for  the  Bison  line. 

PEC  KM  AN 

Six  hits  in  six  times  at  hat:  two  of  them  home  runs,  all  in  one  game — that's  an 
example  from  Peckman's  high  school  record.  He  comes  from  IMcKeesport.  Pa  .  and 
just  entered  the  second  semester.  It  looks  as  though  he  would  live  up  to  his  former 
record  in  college  ball,  lor  in  the  Merietta  game  he  had  two  hits  and  two  runs.  "Peck" 
plays  short  stop.

JAYCOX 

Hartley  Jaycox  is  another  McKeesport  boy.  lie  also  had  two  hits  and  a  run 
against  .Marietta.  In  the  "Tech"  game  he  knocked  a  two-bagger  1  his  in  indicative 
oi  the  place  he  is  capable  of  making  for  himself  on  the  Bethany  learn 

We  admire  his  ability  no  less  than  his  character  and  personality.  Quiet  and 
unassuming  he  will  win  friends  wherever  he  goes 

CAREY 

Alfred  M.  Carey,  Jr.  versatile  athlete,  the  man  who  is  always  out  for  something 
and  what's  more  usually  gets  what  he's  out  for.  But  it's  about  baseball  we  want  to 
tell  you  this  time.  I  lis  fielding  has  always  been  good:  his  hitting  is  consistent. 
When  it  comes  to  holding  down  the  second  sack  there  are  few    his   equal. 

KALBAl  GH 

A  third  boy  hailing  from  McKeesport  is  Harry  Kalbaugh  lie  is  a  southpaw. 
and  111  high  school  won  distinction  for  his  pitching  lie  twirled  for  eight  innings  in 
the  Marietta  game,  striking  out  eight  men.  and  giving  five  hits,  lie  is  also  a  note- 
worth}'  hitter,  being  used  as  a  pinch  hitter  at  critical  tiir.es 

Bl-.CKW  I  I  II 
Mere  we  have  the  ace  from  Buffalo,     behind  Beckwith  is  the  nom  de  plume  which 
he  assumes,  but  it  is  murmured  around  that  his  real  name  is  'Jos  Strikemout".    As  we 
watch  him  twirl  we  are  inclined  to  think  that  the  name  fits  him.      "Tons''  came   to 
us  this  year  from  Manlius,  where  he  was  well  known  and  well-liked  for  his  ability.

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.

One  of  I. alto's  numerous  responsibilities  about  the  campus  is  that  of  track 
coach.  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.  Ills  enthusiasm  lor  his  work  never  fails  This  spring  he  is  turning  out  a 
very  creditable  team      Highest  commendation  is  due  Coach  Latto.

Back   m  his   freshman  year   Idleman   said    that    he    had    never    broad    jumped. 

But  he  went  out  for  that  event  in  the  inter-class  meei  and — well,  he  surprised  us  all. 

That's  what  he  is  always  doing      In  four  years  he  has  developed  marvelously.     This 

season  in  the  inter-class  meet  he  won  the  100-yard  dash,  the  220,  the  440  and  the  880.

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.

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.

Women's  Athletic  Association 

The  Women's  Athletic  Association  was  organized  on  January  7,  l'>22.  of  women 
from  tlu-  student  body.  A  constitution  was  drawn  up  under  the  direction  of  Miss 
Sara  Baker  and  .Miss  Butzer,  then  director  of  physical  education. 

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?"

^STUDENT  COUMCIL 


N   1000  the  students   of    Bethany   Colloge   organized    a    Bethany 

College  Student  Association.  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: 

President  -  -         -  Maurice  Fogle

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;

INOTHER  REPRESENTATION  of  the  untiring  efforts  of    Prof.    B.    R. 
Weimer  is  the  present  Bethany  Orchestra.      This    organization    did    not 
cume  into  prominence  on  the  campus  until  last  year.     But    it    is    now    a 
thirty-piece  orchestra  of  which  Bethany  may  well  be  proud. 

Too  much  can  not  be  said  of  its  faithful  and  efficient  work  in  connection  with

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. 

R.  G.  Scott.  Jr. 


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."

MINISTERIAL 
ASSOCIATION 


111-  BFTIIANY  .Ministerial  Association  looks  backward  upon  a 
fruitful  year.  I  he  program  committee  secured  at  various  times 
during  the  year  outstanding  ministers  (if  national  repute,  and 
some  of  the  best  orators  among  the  brotherhood. 

The  program  included  Rev.  Herbert  Smith,  of  Africa;  Rev.  G.  \Y. 
Muckley;  Rev.  1.  J.  Cahill;  Rev.  W.  R.  Warren;  Rev.  J.  P.  Sala;  Rev.  J. 
J.  Tisdall;  John  Ray  Clark;  Rev.  E.  J.  Meacham;  Rev.  P.  II.  Welshimer; 
Rev.  R.  11.  .Miller;  Rev.  J.  B.  Briney;  Rev.  W.  F.  Pierce;  Mr.  Jesse 
Bader;  Rev.  R.  B.  Neale;  and  Prof.  John  Clark  Archer. 

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.

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.

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-

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.

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.

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.

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  the  Big  Boy 

Bayard  Saler.  worked  a  tailor. 
Worked  him  spring  and  fall. 
To  make  a  suit,  that  would  look  cute 
On  his  figure,  broad  and  tall. 


He  worked  him  long,  he  worked  him  third ; 
Nor  sang  he  song,  but  lost  he  lard. 
For  Bayard  Saler  worked  a  tailor; 
Worked  him  spring  and  fall.

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.
