THE 1953
BETHANIAN

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

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

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

Freshman Orientation Week will remain as a memor'

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

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

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

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

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

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

Perkirming as Beth.inys best in spring sports, the Bison
tiack squad is about to end the present season. Coached
by Don Fuoss, the team met such teams as Hiram, Slippery
Rock, W if J, and others to round out the schedule. John
McL.iughlm and George Taibi, two of the Bison seniors,
have competed tor the last time tor the Bethany, both have
compiled great records for the college. McLaughlin has
set records m both the dashes and the broad jump, while
Taibi has put his name on the 440 record. Other runners
that gave the team a lift was Tom Beadle, who has run the
half and mile runs tor the past three years and has always
done a commendable )ob. Tok Chin, sophomore, has also
shown himself a great athlete for the Bisons as his efforts in
the hurdles and the broad jump gave the squad needed points.
To a squad that really worked . . . thanks for a job well done.

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

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