Helen Smith Pearl Stitt Edith Williams His First Oration- Junior Class History In the fall of nineteen hundred and eleven, Old Bethany ' s halls for the first time beheld the illustrious class of 191.5. We gathered from all corners of the world, to come together in sweet association, to study, work and play for four long, happy years. Now we have reached the estate of Juniors. As we look back upon the three years of happy comradeship and realize that only one short year lies be- tween us and the time when we must part, perhaps never to he together again, a lump arises in the throat that cannot be swallowed, and tears unbidden rush to the eyes. Our career as a class has been a quiet one. We have not been am- bitious to be continually in the eyes of the public, bid have been content to do our duties in a quiet way. From the very first we adopted as the standard toward which we were ever to strive — Training for Service. As Freshmen we took our places in the harness of college life and we have been pulling and pushing ever since. With all verity, we may say that no knockers are numbered among us, for we all believe that the sunny side is the best. There can be no doubt that great philosophers and reformers will, in after years, come back to Alma Mater and say with pride, Yes, I am of the class ' 15. In our Sophomore year we all felt that the usual manner taken by Sophomores to indicate their superiority over the Freshmen was as barbarous as it was foolish. So we established a precedent, which we hope will ever survive, in the form of a contest of minds. The Sophomore-Freshman Debate will go down in the annals of Old Bethany as an evidence of the remarkable wisdom and sensi- bility of the class of nineteen hundred and fifteen. We are scholars, debaters and writers. Without our aid the Col- legian would be a hopeless failure; without our faithful services the Literary Societies would lapse into oblivion ; without our enspiriting example college spirit would wane and disappear. In the Young People ' s Christian Associations; in the support of church activities; in the proper observance of the laws of the powers that be, you will find us ever and always doing our share. 29 Amelia Gerke It is with much pleasure that we in- troduce Molly, the energetic, congen- ial, lovable president of the Junior Class. In past years, she has identified herself with college politics, and by her powers of elocution and debate, she has secured for herself much honor and glory. En- dowed with the quality of leadership, no obstacle can withstand her. We must mention, too, her pretty chuckle and non- disappearing smile. She is the efficient president of the Y. W. C. A. and loves to be of service to all the college girls. Molly has never been known to carry fewer than six studies a term, and she realizes the importance of the most pop- ular course in school, for she always manages to find time for Biz. In her are combined such cheerfulness and strength, tact and firmness that we know she will grace whatever sphere of life she may enter. Clarence Rostofer The girls have learned to guard their hearts when Rosty commences to beam upon them, for he is as fickle as he is fair. It is almost impossible to anger him, but one should not say too much about bath tickets, if one would be on the perfectly safe side. Rosty is a ris- ing young preacher, and he is fortunate in the fact that his appointment is so near New Martinsville. He is noted for his polished politeness and kindness of heart, and his dainty form is always clad in a suit of the latest cut. Maude Schultz Our Vice President ' s unofficial posi- tion is class comforter. Whenever we get the blues and feel that we need sym- pathy and advice, especially advice, we go to Maude. Her carriage reveals her characteristics for she is as calm and serene in character as she is stately and composed in bearing. Considering the inducements offered by our rival sister college in Ohio, we have often wondered why Maude did not go to Hiram; but when we ask, she only laughs and says Isn ' t Bethany the finest place in the country? William Butler Dignified, lofty-browed Mr. Butler, whom we now have the pleasure of in- troducing, is an Ag. student, but in our private opinion he ought to be a diplomat. His face is as enigmatical and inscrutable as that of the sphynx, and we defy anyone to discover his deep, deep thoughts. He has been heard to declare that nothing will ever induce him to venture upon the high seas of matrimony — but there ' s a maid in Cali- fornia. His highest ambition is to know one-half as much as his Dad, and his ability as a Logician bids fair to land him at the coveted goal. Joy Taylor Petty things have no place in Joy ' s life. Her ideals are high, and we know she will attain to the highest. She has made our class motto, Let us live while we live, a part of her life. Joy is an exceedingly busy, girl and is usually seen with stacks of books under her arms. She is a lover of home and is devoted to her small brothers and sisters. Some- times we wonder if we do not see in her big blue-gray eyes a deep longing for a life of service, and as we look closer we get a vision of this same girl living her ideals in a home among Ca- nadian Indians. Lawrence Doak Lawrence is one of those rare all- round fellows who holds the respect of the whole student body as well as of the faculty. A good orator, he won fame as a member of the Sophomore debating team; a born leader, he has held most of the offices around ; an accomplished bizzer, he is far on the road to the at- tainment of a diploma — or is it a certifi- cate they get? Doak was a delegate to the Kansas City Convention, and you ought to hear him tell about it! If you want ahything done, ask Lawrence. He will say, Why, I ' m awfully busy, but — yes, I ' ll try to do it, and he does it. Stanley Bittnee This is Bitty. To us who know him best, that name is music. It stands for gentleness and tenacity, fidelity and en- ergy, seriousness and fun, blunders and apologies. We could not get along with- out Bitty any more than Sister could. He is our authority on all agriculural affairs, and is especially proficient in milking into his lantern by the light shed from the milk pail on the wall. To say that this Pennsylvania Dutchman is lazy would be putting it mildly. We know on good authority that he actually sleeps four hours out of the twenty-four! Stanley is an earnest, conscientious fel- low and when he squares his jaw there is likely to be something doing. Ruth Bloom Ruth was a Sophomore when she joined our class, but she had not been with us long before we realized what a valuable addition we had to our number. She soon won special distinction in art and poetry. Whenever we want a poem written we go to Ruth. She does some incantations, calls up her muse, gets an inspiration, and, figuratively speaking, bursts into song. Sometimes she is greatly troubled by her studies. The James-Lange theory has long been a se- rious question with her and she does not understand that one is afraid because he runs. Ruth says she has to be good when she is at home, because she is a preacher ' s daughter. Edgar R. Saum Mr. Saum comes to us from Virginia Christian College. With his sunny smile and true, big heart he meets the world and its problems and goes serenely on uninterupted by any obstacles. Edgar ' s heart is full of love and devotion to mankind (including womankind), and we never hear him say an unkind word of anyone. His great desire is to be- come a missionary like his noted broth- er, and in accordance with the good advice that is given prospective mission- aries, he wishes to find a suitable com- panion — preacher ' s daughter preferred. Bertha Quimby Miss Quimby is a valuable addition to our ranks, for she brings sunshine and music with her. Our mental pic- ture of Sandy is incomplete without her scarlet sweater and golden hair. She is unexcelled in rag-time music and basket ball, and is always sunny and happy (except sometimes about exami- nations). We predict great success for Bertha in the musical world. Park McMullen Little Mac, (to distinguish him from Big Mac ) is one of the youngest, but by no means, least important members of our class. That stately, solemn air is just one of his poses. Why, he is an irrepressible tease and always ready for a laugh, sometimes even at his own ex- pense. Mac has won renown for him- self and glory and honor for his class through his wonderful ability as a basket ball player. He doesn ' t shine so dimly in football, either, and in Biz ! Gee whiz ! Ruth Clifford This petite maiden hails from the Smoky City. We are reminded of the adage, still waters run deep, when we look at Miss Clifford. Sedate and dig- nified, Ruth has very little to say about herself, so we do not know her as well as we hope we shall. By her brilliant remarks in Logic, we infer that she is a girl of no mean mental caliber, and her composure on the platform points toward a future of public service as a lecturer. We consider ourselves fortun- ate in numbering this demure young lady as a member of ' 15. Arabella Marvin Quiet little Arab. How we should miss her, if she were not here! Yes, she ' s pretty shy, but her greatest joy is in giving orations or any kind of a pub- lic speech. She hails from the wild and woolly West, and nothing short of Bethany Spirit, which is said to hover around all of Bethany ' s sons and daugh- ters, could woo her from her home nest in Oklahoma, for Arabella loves home and is just the sort of girl to make home a World of love shut in, a world of strife shut out. William B. Sharratt This picture cannot possibly do jus- tice to Brother Sharratt ' s ruddy coun- tenance. He has come all the way from Hold Hingland to grace the class of ' 15. An ardent advocate of peace, yet he can make the lion roar when he thinks the eagle is screaming too loudly. He is so dignified we would not dare to call him Billy when he is looking. Billy is some fiddler, too, if you can credit his own word for it, but his Biz aspirations died a quick and painless death when his Kentucky Babe went home to stay. Abigail Lesnett Certainly Abigail is well named. She is so quiet and retiring that one might imagine her a Quaker maid indeed, but for the glint of humor in her bright black eyes. Abbie has quite a rep- utation as a hard student and is a bright and shining light in Math. She has never confided what are her great am- bitions, although we are sure she has them. She devotes herself quietly to the tasks now before her, letting the morrow care for itself. Morgan Lumpkin The newest addition to our class is Billy Bumpkin, formerly of Johns Hopkins University. He is a very live- ly and brilliant young man. His mu- sical ability is worthy of note, and often does he soothe our hearts with his tune- ful melodies. We expect much from this slender youth, although he did begin his career here by polishing shoes for the Phillips Hall girls. Lumpy is quite popular with both boys and girls and luckily has a good stand-in with the matron, too. Helen Abbiss Helen is the sister of Lois, and Whitey is the other one ' s cousin. Nice combi- nation, you know. Did you ever hear a jollier laugh? No wonder Helen is not as slender as some. But some of us would gladly share her ability to get so much fun out of life. She can be sober, too, when necessary, and has some very decided opinions which she is not at all slow to offer or defend. A good worker, firm friend, sweet singer and cheery comrade is Helen, the younger twin. Thomas Brown Yes, Tommy is a Scotchman and you could tell it a mile away, even if you did not hear him singing. And he can warble some, too. After delving into the mysteries of the underworld as a mining engineer in the old country, Tommy came to America to study for the ministry. Among his varied talents we might mention his nightingale voice, his merry laugh, his cultivated roach — but that isn ' t a talent, it ' s a disease — his ability to ride ponies, and his appre- ciation of Burns.

Sloan Elbert Stauffer Lyrel Teagarden Russel X. Victor H. L. Williams Eleanor Wood The Double Blue and White The history of the Class of 1916 does not begin with its organization in the fall of 1913. There was a time when all its members were Freshmen (yon will oblige us by keeping this to yourself). But now, by the process of evolution, having arrived at this state of commingled wisdom and foolishness, we can look back over our previous existence, laugh at our mistakes, take pride in our victories, and be glad we were Freshmen. The class did three very notable things as Freshmen. The first, in point of time, was the adoption of the class colors, double blue and white; the second was the election of Professor Webber as class adviser; the third was the establishment of a precedent in interclass contests, which has since been taken up by Yale and various others of the large universities of this country. We substituted a debate for the usual class fight, and afterwards, a burying of the hatchet ' neath the viands of a sumptuous banquet served at the expense of the unvictorious Sophomores. So after a year of fitting-in, and shaping our lives to this new college environ- ment, most of us came back last fall for three more years in Bethany. After the excitement of the return and matriculation had subsided, someone set afloat the germ of organization and by October twenty-first so many members of the class had developed symptoms that a meeting was called to find some means to alleviate the suffering. The worst case was found to be that of Miss Lyrel Teagarden, whom the germ had affected by enlarging her mental capacities until she was forced to take all the scholarship honors in order to save her reputation. She was, accord- ingly, elected president. The next case considered was that of Miss Barbara Hurt. She seemed affected in such a variety of ways that only two could be distinguished, i. e., scholarship and biz. She is never seen without symptoms of the first, and very rarely without symptoms of the second. She was made vice president. Miss Mary Royce ' s case was so bad that only her ability to write seemed unimpaired, and secretary appeared to be the only position she could fill satisfactorily. Upon examination, Mr. Molden was found to have developed an abnormal sense of honesty and a fog-horn voice, so he was entrusted with the double duty of caring for the class funds and leading the class yells. The disease had made such progress in Mr. Victor that at one time he did not even seem to Keer(s) whether or not he ever recovered. But. as he appeared to be otherwise strong and healthy, he was elected captain of the campus. Of the lesser lights, Mr. Lape ' s case was found to have developed into the advanced stages of calculitis, so that certain of his friends were obliged to sit up with him all of one night before the note-books were to be handed in. Most of the class were found to be affected in varying degree and form, from activities on the Collegian staff, in which hospital we have five patients, to athletics, in which we have exhibited every phase of the disease. All these cases were put into the hands of the most capable physician the class could find. Professor Gay. We feel sure that by his patience, interest, skill, his loyalty and constant willingness to be of service to each and every member of the class he wi ll guide us safely through a prosperous year to our junior orations.

So the history of the Freshman class is short. But just as there is much more to he said about some babies than about others, so there is much to be said about us in comparison with commonplace classes. We are a wonderful class! Everybody notices it. You could see it right at first. The third day of school we had a visitor. Our President was showing him about. Among the many interesting views our school affords, the various classes rank high, and Prexy was exhibiting them as such. The Seniors he indicated with a nod of his head, the Juniors likewise. Those queer-looking individuals are Sophomores, he pointed out; and these promising people, he continued, radiant with pride, these bright, clever, intelligent, wholesome, noble-minded young men and women are our Freshmen. Even Prexy, you see, observed it. Xot only are Ave strong intellectually, but also physically. Our prowess is the talk of the country. Our boys have starred in all the college teams. The Sophomores, those great in their own conceit, have not so much as challenged us. We woidd wipe the earth with them, and they realize it. We are — but it is unnecessary to mention that we are the best looking members of the community, for nobody questions it . We love our teachers and Ave love our school. We love the upperclassmen (even if they aren ' t worthy of it) and Ave loA r e to study, though this is a deep secret, so Ave don ' t let on, and eA ' en the faculty hasn ' t suspected it. Without doubt, there is a great future in store for us. 44 Young Women ' s Christian Association Color: White Motto: Xot by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts Amelia Gerke President Edith Hunter Vice President Lyrel Teagarden Secretary Lyda Humphrey Treasurer Helen Abbiss Lois Abbiss Helen Atwood Edith Baker Mabel Baker Ruth Bloom Sarah Bemis Beulah Beisel Kathryn Cooper Carina Clark Dorothy Cramblet Mary Coleman Myrle Cunningham Margaret Dickel Rosa Dunlap Esther Davis Alice Feeney Nannie Furbay Amelia Gerke Carolvn Gordon Ethel Gaver Irmine Gooch Mary Hawkins roll or members Lyda Humphrey Edith Hunter Georgia Hunsaker Grace Hollingsworth Adelia Hobbs Barbara Hurt Anita Hall Blanche Kagareis Elizabeth Koehnline Abigail Lesnett Ethel Lawlis Lucile Lawlis Pearl Mahaffey Clarine Marshall Arabella Marvin Helen McDonald Belle McLachlan Helen McMillen Ethel McMillen Marie McCollam Madelon ililler Margaret Monroe Elizabeth Morgan Dorothy Perrin Josephine Porter Bertha Quimby Esther Royce Mary Royce lone Ranft Helen Smith Bessie Spence Maude Schultz Mary Sammons Jeannette Simpson Jennie Belle Scherer Pearl Stitt Ethel Strathearn Joy Taylor Lyrel Teagarden Roberta Tener Elizabeth Wilkin Elsie Wilson Ethel Whigham Edith Williams 47 Young Men ' s Christian Association President L.

Depp I think I love and reverence all arts equally, only putting my own just above the others; because in it I recognize the union and culmination of my own. To me it seems as if when God conceived the world, that was Poetry; He formed it. and that was Sculpture; He colored it, and that was Painting; He peopled it with living beings, and that was the grand, divine, eternal Drama. A long-felt need of the college has been supplied this year by the organization of a dramatic club known as The Merry Masquers. Un- der the leadership of Mrs. Bourne, this club has met with great success in every respect. The programs given at the meetings, which are held twice a month, are instructive as well as entertaining. Modern dramas are reviewed, especially the famous operas, and with the aid of the Victrola are made highly interesting. Besides the regular pro- grams, The Merry Masquers are doing practical work in the prepara- tion for the presentation of a campus play for commencement week. 67 Football Outlook for 1914 Everyone that has followed the record of Bethany in football for the past two or three years knows just how unenviable that record has been. If the prospects for next year were not brighter than they have been in the recent past, the need for a word in regard to our outlook would not be felt, and the less said about it, the better it would be for old Bethany : but the prospects for a winning team to repre- sent the Green and White next year are the best in years. The faculty have awak- ened to the fact that a team such as we had is a poor advertisement for the college and are willing to do all in their power to make football not a farce but a real thing hereafter. They have decided to employ, if possible, an all-round athletic coach for next year, one who is particularly a good football coach. Several former stars of famous teams are being considered and before this article appears in print all will know who has been selected. A number of the last year ' s team will not be back, but this need cause no feeling of uneasiness for their places will be easily rilled, and we know much more effectively, by the recruits, who are planning to come to Bethany next fall. Bethany has the best teaching force and equipment of any of the small colleges, and if we can add a good gridiron squad to these factors, we will have done more to place Bethany on the map than can possibly be done in any other one way. We will have in our captain and manager two most powerful factors to help round- out a champion eleven, but the work cannot all be done by them and they must have the assistance of every student. Should the athletic fee be advanced to help cover the increased cost, do not kick; for surely you would not complain at paying a little more if the team can be made a winner and more home games be played. How can I help? we hear a great many say who can take no part in the contests on the field. You can keep your eyes and ears open and try to induce boys you know to be stars to come here next fall. Talk with them ! Preach Bethany to them I Above all send their names to the president and when the field agents are busy next year they will be able to talk to them when they are in their town. We all have the welfare of our college at heart, and we know that all will act as a unit in this scheme of better athletics : so let one and all flock to the struggle. realizing the size of the task and the pleasure and satisfaction you will feel because you had a hand in the building of our proposed terrific machine. Alumni and students, now all together! Three rahs and a tiger for Old Bethany ! Live and fight for her till the whistle is blown in the last quarter of the final game ! P. A.

Under the coaching of Captain Wilkin a creditable team was slowly rounded into shape. McMullen and Rodgers did good work as forwards. A better player than Rodgers would be hard to find, a fast floor man and an excellent .shot. Slim has yet to meet a center who can outjump him. Smith and Wilkin continued to play their usual steady game as guards. Wilkin proved to be an excel- lent captain and played the best game of his career. Eneix, a former guard for Wheeling Y. M. C. A., is a very energetic and deter- mined guard. He sticks to his opponent like a leech. Mann has proven himself a valuable Mann, and with a little more experience will make a fine record. 73 Baseball Vernon Crites. .Manager John Bergex. Captain SCHEDULE Fr anklin College Apr. 20 Mt.

Bergen, one of the best catchers we have ever had, has been elected captain. Speeder has from last year ' s Varsity, Rodgers, Smith. Doak. Harris and Blan- ning to begin the season with. Crites has prepared an exceptionally good schedule, and has persuaded several former college stars to re-enter for the spring term. We believe Vernon will prove a most efficient manager. Here ' s luck and success to the Baseball Team of 1914. 75 The Lone Grave The little college town of Bethany. Y. Va.. was aroused to the greatest excite- ment, for it was in the early spring just shortly after the attack had been made on Fort Sumter and all were anxiously awaiting the outcome. War between the North and South was now certain, and all Bethany watched eagerly every movement of the great president. Most of the residents and students were either staunch South- erners or else were in sympathy witli them, and Bethany seemed proud of her southern aristocracy. But one fact rather distressed the little village. Her leading citizen, Mr. Robert Hudson, had shocked all Bethany when he calmly declared he stood witli Lincoln. Mrs. Hudson, a dainty little woman, who had died some years before, was a Southerner and her husband, up to this time, had always shown great interest in the Southland. Then no wonder the town was taken by surprise at Mr. Hudson ' s manner. Mr. Hudson ' s daughter. Betty, was a charming young girl of eighteen. She was beautiful in action as well as in appearance, for though heiress to a great for- tune, Betty was neither haughty nor bold and accordingly a great favorite of the entire village. In proportion to her father ' s wealth and social standing. Betty had been well-trained in all the accomplishments necessary for a young heiress. This year Betty was to graduate from Bethany, her own home college. Then, as Betty said, she was planning to stay at home with her father and ma ;e lite pleasant for him, for Mr. Hudson ' s daughter had been a great comfort to him, since the time of his wife ' s death. Mr. Hudson had taken up some correspondence work with the government and was kept very close in his study. He was greatly interested in the affairs of the time and after his work was finished, enjoyed an evening spent in discussing slavery, secession, and war, with a few of his close friends. Betty, though interested in the outcome of matters, did not like the arguments and so spent this time, which was usually given to her father, with her college chums. For the past month it had become a daily pleasure for a crowd of the young people, after school hours, to take long walks, enjoying the beauties of the spring- time. It was during these pleasant walks that Betty and Jack Stewart became better friends. Jack was a young Southerner from Richmond. Virginia. Jack ' s mother and Betty ' s had been girlhood chums and this naturally increased their friendship. Mr. Hudson had become interested in Jack and he was always a welcome guest at the Hudson mansion. Jack ' s dignified bearing showed that he came of a wealthy and aristocratic family. His earnest, kind and considerate manner, his noble char- acter and friendliness toward all made him a general favorite. Jack ' s southern blood stirred within him at the injustice he thought was being inflicted upon his homeland. Betty, knowing his attitude, never mentioned her views on the subject. She silently feared that Jack would leave college and go home to join the Confed- erate army, to fight for the South, the side which she firmly believed in the wrong. One evening as they were returning home. Jack said. Betty, although you have never said, y et I know you believe in the Northern cause. Betty ' s face showed no sign of assent. But please don ' t think that makes any difference, only if I should be called to fight — Betty stifled a little sob and her earnest brown eyes filled with fear. Jack saw this but went on — it would make it easier to know you were hoping and praying for my army to be victorious. 77 They walked on in silence till they reached the long avenue leading to the Hudson home. Then looking into his manly face Betty said, Yes, Jack, you have guessed rightly, I am on the Northern side, but if you should go, — here she strug- gled hard to keep back the tears which now tilled the lovely eyes, — that makes me none the less anxious about you. ' ' By this time they had reached the steps and after calming Betty ' s fears about his enlisting as a soldier, Jack took his departure. Betty remained at home all evening witli her father and shortly after ten o ' clock the Hudson home was closed for the night. The little mantel clock had just sounded the hour of two when Betty awoke from a troubled sleep. As she opened her eyes she saw a bright light gleaming through her window. Betty ' s room looked out upon the college campus. Springing to the window, Betty, with a cry of horror, saw that the north wing of the college was on fire. Already she heard cries of alarm and fear. Rushing to her father ' s room, she told him and in a few minutes both had reached the porch. Mr. Hudson, with a word to Betty, hurried away to give assistance in whatever way possible. Crowds of men and boys desperately fought the flames which seemed to be advancing rapidly, and not until the morning did the men relax their labors. The fire was now entirely extinguished, but the north wing of the college lay in a smouldering heap. There was no school for the next week, for all Bethany was now aroused as to who or what caused the destruction of the college. The last week of April came and the excitement had somewhat died down. But one evening the professors and some of the prominent citizens held a meeting to try to find out something in regard to the origin of the fire. Betty, who was await- ing her father ' s return, was sitting in the library when he entered. She ran to greet him but stopped short when she perceived the look on his face. Why, father, what has happened? Certainly you have found no one guilty of burning the college? His face showed her that she had rightly said. Do tell me all, father, she pleaded. Seating himself by the grate fire, Mr. Hudson began: Well, daughter, I can- not tell you whom we suspect, nor the outcome of the meeting, — his face paled a little and his hands trembled — but I must ask something of you which I know will pain you greatly. Betty crept closer to his side, her face pale and eager to catch every word. Here a short silence ensued until a plaintive, Go on, father, caused him to continue: Until further permission from me, I must ask you to discontinue your close friendship with Mr. Stewart. Betty, too overcome to speak, only told her suffering through her big childish eyes. After a brief silence she went to her room, leaving her father to his own sad reflections. She threw herself sobbing across her bed and there the early morning sun found her as he peeped through her eastern window. It was not the same lively little Betty that attended classes that day, and all the students, as well as teachers, looked questioningly at one another. That afternoon as Jack walked home witli her, Betty told him her trouble, begging him not to be angry with her father. For a moment Jack ' s black eyes flashed fire, then seeing her pleading face, he spoke kindly: I tell you, Betty, that certainly does hurt to be held suspicious of such a charge, but for your sake I promise not to do anything for which I would be sorry. But that request ' about our friendship won ' t work. I have something to say to that. Jack evidently did have something to say to that, and before they parted it was arranged that each evening they would see one another secretly. At seven-thirty Jack would pass by the house, giving a certain whistle, and await Betty at the corner below her home. With arrangements thus planned Betty ' s heart felt lighter, for she knew Jack had not helped in destroying the college several weeks before. The evening promised to be a delightful one. for a big full-moon was already rising in the east, the air was fragrant with the blossoming trees and there seemed to 78 be a touch of romance and adventure in the entire affair. At the appointed time, Betty, hearing Jack ' s call, slipped out the side-door and in a few moments joined him. They started on their walk and at Jack ' s request turned their steps toward the Old Elm. This was the largest and oldest elm tree in the vicinity and with its majestic height and spreading branches seemed to demand notice from all. It stood upon a small elevation, and as if ashamed to stand in comparison, no other trees grew near. To-night the big moon flooded the spot with silvery beams and as if playing hide-and-seek, they sparkled through one branch and then another. As Bettv and Jack reached this spot they stood silently admiring the serene and tranquil beauty of the nature picture. Then after a short rest they started home. and at ten o ' clock Betty stole in at the side-door and up to her room. For the next week these walks were continued, always to the same place and with the moon only as an audience. One night Betty noticed Jack ' s worried look and she knew something unpleasant had happened, but she felt he would explain, and so said nothing. Jack did explain all to a frightened, heart-broken, little girl, for that evening Jack had received a letter from his father, telling him to leave col- lege immediately and to come home to enlist as a Confederate soldier. Xo excuse could be given, Jack must go the very next day. It was two very different young people who returned home that evening, for both knew Jack ' s going meant a Long separation. The next day the entire village assembled to bid Jack farewell. After a few words to his best friends and good-byes to all. Jack jumped into the waiting stage- coach and was borne rapidly away, amidst a sea of waving handkerchiefs. Betty now anxiously waited every mail and rightly did she have cause for alarm, when after three weeks of untiring waiting, she had received no news from Jack. She could not turn to her father for comfort because he thought Betty had carried out his wishes in regard to Jack ' s friendship. So she silently bore her fear and anxiety, but each day, as her friends noticed, she became paler and more quiet and unlike the once happy Betty Hudson. One morning at the close of May, all Bethany was alarmed to hear that Betty was seriously ill. The family physician had pronounced her case scarlet fever. Mr. Hudson was nearly frantic with fear, for Betty meant life to him. Each morning the village anxiously awaited the report of Betty ' s condition and faces became serious and grave when no encouraging report was given. Little Betty bore her suffering bravely. How could they know that it was only the arrival of some news from Jack for which she longed. But none came to cheer her tired little heart and so it took its flight into the peaceful shadow-land. All Bethany mourned the loss of their favorite. Betty Hudson, and the little village seemed strangely still and deserted. But all were surprised when they heard of the request Betty had made, that she be buried under the great Elm Tree. It filled them with wonder and amazement, for none knew of the happy times Betty and Jack had spent there. So, in accordance with her wish, only the watchful moon, tin- big elm and an occasional night owl keeps vigil over the lonely grave. Florence Ritter 79 ApMiilM The Agricultural Department The great demand for men trained in both practical and scientific agriculture led to the establishment of this department of Bethany College which is now in its third year. The progress of the farm lias surpassed the expectations of both the college authorities and the students. Ihe clearing and initial construction work is beginning to take the form of a highly efficient agricultural laboratory. The college barn is more practical, the Guernsey herd larger and better, and the advanced registry records more numerous and higher than any other college herd shows. During the past year, two Guernsey cows have made official records- in excess of 1.3,000 pounds of milk and 600 pounds of butter fat. Out of a total of 1608 Guernseys listed in the advanced registry, only ' 20 produced more milk in a year than these two in the college herd. One of our two-year-old heifers is now milking over 1,300 pounds a month and bids fair to produce a larger amount of milk than any two-year-old Guernsey has yet done. The care and study required to make big records, and the education and profit the students derive from making these records, are quite equal to that which may be obtained in any other course. The la-acre orchard which was planted in the spring of 191.3 is developing into a practical laboratory for the students of horticulture. This is a variety test orchard which contains 300 varieties of apples, pears, plums and cherries, and should show which are best adapted to this locality. ' Ihe students of .agriculture are showing extreme interest in the work of tile farm, most of which they perform. The Agricultural Club, which was formed last year, is making an economic survey of this territory, studying the rural problems of this district, and discussing the causes and remedies for the difficulties which have long made farming in the Pan Handle unprofitable. The Farmers ' Short Course, which is given each year by the College, in con- junction with the Pan Handle Agricultural Club, is a marked success. It is looked forward to by the farmers of the district as a time of real pleasure and profit. A number of the business men also show a keen interest in this work. The lectures given in the short course are interesting and helpful to farmers and lovers of nature, for the men who lecture are leaders in their special line and are willing to give others the benefit of their long years of work in the service. We feel that this, the youngest of the college departments, offers opportunities for culture and real education quite equal to those offered by any other department. 81 Agricultural Club OFFICERS S.

They bade farewell to their friends, Todd and Dodd. and with Pultz beating high went forth, neither Mann doubting that he would return a Victor, for each intended to Russel. When they reached Manchester, they began Aston for a good place to eat and were directed by the Marshall to Phillips Hall. Brown, who was a Scot(t), said he did not like any kind of sausage but Feeneys ; and White got Gay and ordered up some Port(er) something like that, and Black called for Moore. The result was what might have been expected. Brown grew sentimental, called the maid a Bonny lassie, and was quickly handed over to a Sargeant. A Miller entered on the scene and attempted to paint things Red. A general mixup ensued. When the smoke of battle cleared away, White had a Black eye, and Black was looking Rother Hurt. Says White to Black, Howes it go? Says Black, What Ayles you? I ' ll Kilpatrick, if my Armstrong enough, and Wilkin throw all the Macs over the Sill. Just then a Palmer came wandering by. He was calling, Hot roasted Chest- nuts. in a shrill Tener voice. He sauntered on down to the Kaye and, turning, saw a woman and boy coming through a Stubblerield. As they approached, a small Seel appeared near the shore and before the boy could speak to the woman and Warner, it Hover overboard. But she fell Close to a Rusty chain and seizing this climbed up the Hites to the fog Horn and was saved. The three pilgrims met on the next Day where two prattling Brookes joined their courses. White consulted his Webster to find the difference in meaning between Greeley Hurst and Wienerwurst. Black displayed a rent in his Jeannes, and Brown continued to look like a Cherub. They all joined in singing the twentv- third Sauin, the Gates ajar, and Nobody Keers, and neither of the colored gentle- men seemed less Happy than usual. 88 The Ghost of 85 Scene: The Corridor. Time: A night in June. Spirit of Class ' 14 sitting On chapel steps. Enter the Ghost of Class ' 8.5. Ghost ' 8.5 — Home! Unchanged this sacred corridor! How often have I bizzed here in the twilight! How often I have sung in the dawn! It ' s a good memory for old men to have — the school as youngsters singing np and down the corridor in the gray morning. (Discovers Spirit of ' 14.) Hello, who ' s here: 1 Who are you ' . Spirit ' 14 — I am the Spirit of the Senior class. Ghost ' 8:5 — You — you aren ' t disgraced, are you? Spirit ' 14 — (Drawing up haughtily) — Xo, sir! Ghost ' 8.5 — Pardon me — er-a mistake of course: hut then— er-where ' s your class badge ? Spirit ' 14 — What do you mean ' . Ghost ' 8.5 — Your badge; your hat — your Senior silk hat. Spirit ' 14 — Why, we wear caps and gowns. Ghost ' 8.5 — Well, why aren ' t you wearing them then ? Spirit 14 — Why, we only wear them commencement week. Ghost ' 8.5 — Oh! (Pause.) What are the other classes wearing as badges? Spirit ' 14 — Xothing. Ghost ' 8.5 — Then how are yon distinguished from them? Spirit ' 14 — You just have to know us, I guess. Ghost ' 8.5 — Huh! (Pause.) Well, take me round and show me the dear old place, will you? ( They go off. ) Ghost ' 8.5 — These class rooms are splendid. They were smoky old holes when T was here, dark and grim. These pictures and busts are beautiful and really elevating. Spirit ' 14 (proudly) — Our generosity, largely. Ghost ' 8.5 — Pet ' s go to the chapelt — the doors are — chained! Well ! We never kept those doors locked ; only the big doors below. That reminds me of one night when we crept through the museum into the chapel and down the stairs to the tower door. We forced the lock, and climbed up those weary steps to the tower, where we sang until all the town heard us. That was fine. Spirit ' 14 — Weren ' t you canned? Ghost ' 85— Canned? Spirit ' 14 — Yes — shipped, expelled. Ghost ' 8.5 — Why, certainly not. President Woolery was heart- ily in sympathy with harmless fun. Say. what a splendid room! There aren ' t enough students to fill all these seats, are there? 89 Spirit ' 14 — Xot quite, but almost. We have a big school. It ' s all due to Prexy. He ' s great. There are more than three hundred this year. Ghost ' 8.5 — But where did all this room come from? Oh, I see! You ' ve used the museum. That was a good idea. But where ' s the museum ? Spirit ' 14 (embarrassed) — Why — er — a — you see — say, don ' t you like our pipe organ ? Ghost ' 85 — What a wonderful addition to the room! It ' s splen- did! I should love to hear it! Spirit ' 14 (aside) — So should I. Ghost ' 8.5 — This room must be tine for class parties and things like that. Spirit ' 14 — Parties! In the chapel? (Aside) I have a picture of it! Ghost ' 8.5 — Well, come on, my boy, let ' s go to the commence- ment hall, and I ' ll show you the best place to stand so you can be heard clearly. If you stand in the right place, there isn ' t any echo. Spirit ' 14 — Commencement hall! 1 Ghost ' 85 — Follow me; I ' ll show you. Here it is. Spirit ' 14— Why, that ' s the Old Dorm. It ' s full of boys. Ghost ' 8.5— Say! (An awkward pause.) Spirit ' 14 (recovering) — Have you seen our library? Come. Ghost ' 85 brightening up — A library is a great thing. We didn ' t have many books and we had no place to keep the ones we did have. Have you put up a new museum yet, too? Spirit ' 14 — Xo; Er — that is — why — you haven ' t seen inside the library yet. See, here is the boys ' reading room and the library proper, and the girls ' reading room — Mrs. Hill is fixing that all up for them. Upstairs are the music rooms. Ghost ' 85 — They used to be under the college. Spirit ' 14 — Oh, we have model school there now — t he laboratory for our Xormal students. The village students go to school there, and the Xormal students practice on them. Ghost ' 8.5 — Are those little boys and girls in the dormitories pupils in the model school? Spirit ' 14 — Oh. no, they ' re preps. Ghost ' 85 — Does the three hundred include them ? Spirit ' 14 — Yes. Ghost ' 85— Oh ! Spirit ' 14 — Pet ' s go down stairs. See here are two rooms for wraps, and a stage with dressing rooms, and a kitchen, and then this big room for entertainments — and see this cosy alcove! Ghost ' 8.5 — Great! Each class gives a play, I suppose. Spirit ' 14— Why. no: not since I ' ve been here. 90 Ghost ' 8.5 — The frats each give one then ? Spirit ' 14 — Xo — Prdxy would not let ' em. In most other schools the frats give plays or run a school magazine or something; but we don ' t here. Prexy would never hear to it. Ghost ' 8.5 — 1 suppose you use the social room often, though. It ' s a great place for class functions. Spirit ' 14 — We don ' t have ' em. (Pause.) Let ' s go. [Exeunt.] ( Pause.) Ghost ' 8.5 — Are you going to have your class day exercises around your Junior tree Or did the Freshmen rind it ' . Spirit ' 14 — I don ' t know what you mean. Ghost ' 8,5 — In my time, we planted a little tree when we were Juniors. The Freshmen kept watching the campus for new trees, but we would plant it at night and put sod around it, and usually they didn ' t find it. If it wasn ' t discovered within two weeks, we an- nounced it in Chapel, and after that they could not touch it. Then we ' d have our class day exercises around it the next year. Spirit ' 14 — What fun! I wish we did something like that. Ghost ' 85 — By the way, where is the meteorite that used to stand on the Corridor? Spirit ' 14 (aside) — Gee! I didn ' t know we had one! Ghost ' 8.5 — I suppose it ' s in the museum. You must take me to the museum before I go. This is great! The Gates, Science Hall, Cochran Hall! Bethany ' s friends are certainly good to her. It must be fun to be here since there are so many more students. A school sleigh-ride or coasting-party or picnic must be glorious now. Spirit ' 14 — I don ' t know, we never have them. Ghost ' 85— Why not I Spirit ' 14 — Oh, the rules. Ghost ' 85— What rules? Spirit ' 14 — Why, the rules that don ' t allow girls off the campus except for an hour a day, and don ' t allow boys in the ice cream parlor when girls are there, and forbid biz on the corridor except at stated times, and — Ghost ' 85 — Why on earth do you have such rules ? Spirit ' 14 — Well, you see the prep, girls are so young — Ghost ' 85 — Then why not have rules for them alone ? Spirit ' 14 — I don ' t know. Ask Prexv. Ghost ' 85— What has he to do witli it? Spirit ' 14 — Why, he makes ' em. Ghost ' 85 — Why, he isn ' t a matron and President is he? Spirit ' 14 — Of course not. Ghost ' 8.5 — Well, I don ' t understand the times, of course, but in my day young ladies were left to the care of the Matron, and the 91 President let her mind her own affairs. She could, too. We never had any trouble. Spirit ' 14 — (Sighs.) Ghost ' 8.5 — Is the Heights the same? Spirit ' 14 (eagerly) — Oh, no! It ' s all done over inside. We must visit it. (They arrive at the Heights.) Spirit ' 14 — Isn ' t it improved? Ghost ' 8.5 — It certainly is! Yet it ' s the same, too. Oh, what exquisite taste! These rooms are lovely. This is delightful for the Seniors ' supper. Spirit ' 14 — What Seniors ' supper? Ghost ' 8.5 — In my time, the President and his wife always had a supper for the Seniors. Spirit ' 14 — Times have changed. ( Pause. ) Ghost ' 85 — Well, tell me this, does biz still flourish? Spirit 14 — Oh, my yes! We have a couple dozen famous cases. Ghost ' 8.5 — Two dozen! And three hundred people! What ' s the matter with your biz agent ? Spirit ' 14— What ' s that? Ghost ' 8.5 — What ' s a Biz agent! It ' s a wonder Biz has lived! We always had a Biz agent whose business it was to see that every girl had a proper escort to every event. Spirit ' 14 — Say, that was a good idea! You must have had an awfully good time here. Ghost ' 8.5 — I did. My, the fun we had! We used to hire a hack at night and drive in a crowd to West Liberty for the evening and come back by moonlight. The Faculty never cared what we did on Saturdays. Spirit ' 14 — Monday ' s the day tee don ' t have school. We have good times, too, though. Ghost ' 8.5 (politely)— Do you? Spirit ' 14 — Yes, we ' re allowed to go to most pay entertainments on Biz, and to Church Sunday evenings. Ghost ' 8.5 — pjxeuse me, but it doesn ' t sound very lively. Spirit ' 14 — Well, honestly, it isn ' t. I ' ve got to go now, though. I have a lot to do before morning. (Exit.) Ghost ' 8.5 — Bethany ' s richer than she was, and looks better than she did, but just the same, I ' m glad I got out when I did. But times have changed, as the youngster says, and this sort of life may seem fine to the boj s and girls who are living it, but we wouldn ' t have stood for it in my day. Well, I must be off. ( Starts to go, but pauses.) There! He went without showing me the museum, after all! 92 Class Prophecy One day not long ago I was sitting on the campus thinking about the Class of 1911 and wondering what would be our various fortunes ten years hence. As I sat there a beautiful rose-tinted cloud slowly rolled over me and in it I saw pictured a large old southern mansion almost hidden by trees and flowers. Two people were strolling down a broad gravel path. I looked closer and was surprised to see our one-time classmate, Henry Aston, and his bride, Ethel McMillcn. But swiftly the scene changed and I saw a ship sailing in mid-ocean. It was sunset and the deck was crowded with spectators. There was an artist in the crowd and he was painting the gorgeous sunset. As he sat there, I recognized our old friend. A. Ray Palmer. The sun had set and the people had gathered in the salon for the evening relaxation in the enjoyment of the Bunny Hug and Turkey Trot. At the piano sat the famous musician. Bessie Spence. The next view showed a large city church, modeled after the old Bethany church. I was listening to a solo. Who was it that had that silvery voice? Why, Harriet Alexander, of course. When the song had ended, there appeared in the pulpit one whom you would scarcely have recognized in the vestments of a priest — H. A. Blanning. Do you have a picture of a village grocery store around the corner ? Well, I saw one. There were rows of calico and gingham, cracker boxes, vinegar barrels and almost everything that one would need in a little West Virginia village. The proprietor of the store was sitting on a three-legged stool, eating crackers and sar- dines. Some one addressed him and, if I am not mistaken, called him Dave Morris. Faint, indistinct, at first was this picture. But as it became plainer I saw that it was the White House. It was Inauguration Day and the great ball was being held at which nothing stronger than cold water was served. Some of America ' s most famous men walked down the long corridors chatting gayly with beautiful ladies. I hoped I might see the president and his wife, but I never thought that when I should see them they would be no others than two people who were for- merly known to us as Jake Besancon and Tittle Bake. The scene changed and I saw a towering building. There were long corridors, then a large room. All around were beds draped with soft white, among which quietly moved sweet-faced, white-robed figures. A maid of slender form, a little turned-up nose and smiling blue eyes was gazing down upon the wan features of a man. Surely these were the words she was saying: Now, do be patient, Mr. Crites. The doctor says it will be only three weeks at the most until you are back home again with Dorothy and the children. Then the nurse passed on to comfort another sufferer. I.ol a multitude of women were entering a spacious lecture room. Finally, the room was crowded to the utmost. A famous suffragist appeared on the platform. Then I listened to a plain, straightforward talk of a woman to women upon the 94 f rights and powers of her sex. No other person hut Myrle Cunningham could make a speech like that. The next picture presented to me the mountains of Brazil. Two men were lying on the grass in front of a little shack. By their garb I could tell that they were civil engineers. Soon there arose through the stillness of the evening to the tune of Just a Song at Twilight these words: When in the future we shall think of thee, Our hearts will beat with joy. dear Bethany. Thinking that we may have in thee a friend Whose love will last until our journey ' s end. And may our class of nineteen and fourteen Be ever true unto the white and green. I knew that the one who was singing must be a member of the Class of ' 14 of Bethany College. Then the thought struck me. Why. that ' s Floyd Smith, only how tanned and how much better-looking he is ! The scene faded and I gazed upon a classroom in old Bethany. The room looked familiar ; yes, it was Professor Finlev ' s old room. It was a Gospels class, but another than Professor Finley was giving the notes. Surely it was a stranger. Then he laughed at something one of the students said and to my great surprise I recognized the broad grin of Leon McDaniel. Next appeared a crowded court room. Everywhere was intense excitement. A man whom the people believed to be innocent, was being tried for murder. Everything depended upon the speech of the last lawyer. He arose, stepped before the audience and began to speak. Something in the ring of his voice made me think of a boy back at old Bethany whom we called Bob Brooks. As soon as this vision faded away, another presented itself. In the distance I saw a great fiery object. Could it ber Yes, a new celestial body must have been discovered. It was very large and looked like a rhinoceros whirling through the air. Then another object appeared in my line of vision, an airship moving along at a speed unheard of. In it was seated a man of tender age. whom, by his size, I knew to be Pat Harrington. But console yourself; for in seventy-six years he will reach the earth once more, having satisfied himself about this unusual celestial bod}-. Once more I seemed to hear the whirl of wheels. Great rolls of paper were brought into a room and passed with rapid motion through mammoth machines. From these iron jaws came forth sheets from whose pages was read the news of the world. In one corner at a large desk sat a man pensively reciting these lines which he had just written: From out these halls of learning, brave men have gone their way. And virtuous women, famous throughout our land to-day. O, thou abode of sages who guard our steps aright ! Our college days we ' ve spent here within thy portals bright. Though ocean wide may sever thy beauty from our view. We ' ll cherish thee forever, dear foster home! Adieu! 95 Perry A. Cooper was composing- poetry tor The Bethany Collegian. Another cloud passed by and I beheld Barnum and Bailey ' s circus. The four-hundred-pound bearded lady came waddling forward and something in the way she hobbled from side to side as she approached, made me recognize our old friend, T. C. Horn. What exquisite strains of music came floating upon my ear. I looked and noticed a little silvery lake. By its quiet waters, sitting on a rustic bench, was the famous violinist, Robert Wilkin. Again, I beheld a large auditorium. A great psychologist, who had found out things that the world had never known before, was giving an experimental lecture. I gazed intently upon his noble brow and recognized with pride a member of the class of ' 14 — A. M. Flax. Still the panorama rolls on. Holland and the Temple of Peace arose before my eyes. There in the Grand Hall was placed a bust of Mr. Grose, a man who had served the world by writing a wonderful book on International Peace. With this, the sea of clouds passed and with them my visions. However, the memory is still with me and I have given the pictures to you. my dear classmates. 96 Zeta Tau Alpha Fraternity Founded at Virginia State Normal, 1898 Colors: Turquoise blue and steel gray Motto: Seek the noblest Flower : The white violet Magazine: Themis THETA CHAPTER Installed March 9, 1905 PATRONESSES Mrs. Anna R.

Teisher 107 f 1 ] i Home Economics Much is said in this day and age of women taking up professions that men claim belong solely to tliem, and of how women are lowering the salary for work that in former years was done entirely by men. However true this accusation may be, all will acknowledge that Home Economics is largely a woman ' s work, although Mrs. Ellen II. Richards, the founder of the Home Economics Association of America, says that it is as much a man ' s work as a woman ' s, as its sphere is the home, and the ideal home surely is the result of the hearty cooperation of both the man and woman. Here, at least, we know that woman is not going beyond the bounds that the most conservative anti-suffragette would place for her; so we wish to consider this great work of the home as primarily the work of woman. The work of Home Economics in schools and colleges is made up of two divi- sions, Domestic Science and Domestic Art. The scope of the Domestic Science course includes a study of general Chemistry. Physics, .and a thorough study of Bacteriology. Girls taking this work usually study these with special reference to their practical household applications, which they at once proceed to test in their cookery, laundry, and cleaning practice. Some suggestions on economic and socio- logical problems are also brought forward with a view to widening a girl ' s horizon, and to preparing her for her future positions and obligations. One of the principal studies is the Theory of Foods. One learns the values of the various foods, what foods go to make up a well-balanced meal, the foods that give heat and energy, and those that should be eaten for the building up and repair of the tissues of the body. One also learns how to prepare food for the sick, and has a short course in home nursing. The subject matter of any course in Domestic Art should logically include all phases of art education as it is related to home construction, the creating and main- taining of a desirable home atmosphere and home activities, both educational and social. The subject of home construction should include the artistic problems belong- ing to home architecture, landscape gardening as a distinctive home interest, and interior decoration as a necessary and practical feature of home economy. Every house is not a home, and as character building is to a large extent devel- oped in the home, and the home atmosphere is made up of the sum total of the individual habits of the family} it is largely the work of the woman to create this atmosphere. Then if this is to be the great work of the majority of women, they 110 should be trained for it when they are receiving that education which is to prepare them for their work in life. Domestic Art as it is taught in many of our schools and colleges prepares a girl to do her own sewing and make her own hats. This helps her to economize in her school and college life, and when the time comes for her to take charge of a home of her own, with (more than likely) limited means at her command, she will be able to make the living allowance go much further than she could otherwise do, and be able to make her home more artistic and more a place of refuge for her dear ones than if she were dependent upon hired help, ready made articles of dress and home accessories. In the art course, the girl of the Home Economics Department makes a study of textiles. She learns how they are made, how to tell good from adulterated materials, and can thus get full value for her money. In this study in learning how cloth is manufactured she learns something of the lives of her sister women who labor in the factories, and it broadens her outlook and makes her a more sym- pathetic and a better woman. For a girl to take a four years ' course in Home Economics does not mean that she shall confine her study to foods, cooking, sewing, and the other subjects that really make up the actual work of Home Economics in its narrower sense, but the course includes a certain amount of Mathematics, English. Ethics, Sociology, the languages, and some other branches that go to make up the usual college education. She may devote some time to music, without which no home is complete. The girl who wishes to take a classical course may elect some of the more important of the Home Economies branches, and in this way help to fit herself for the duties of a home. We occasionally find girls who think it the proper thing to scoff at the idea of knowing how to do housework, and are proud of the fact that they know so little. The Home Economics Movement has shown girls that there may be both dignity and pleasure in housework; that the proper preparation of food is a science; that the home is the expression of the artistic taste and culture of the woman, and that to know how to run it systematically and manage it economically, whether she be doing the work with her own hands or directing the labors of others, is a work worthv of the most careful preparation.

Another One — Hump ! What you you suppose the scrub team is for ? SOME SPASMS. I There once was a waiter named Hites, Who stood very high in our sights. He towered toward heaven, Being six feet eleven And was useful in turning out lights. A cook there once was by name Jones, Who made soup of the left-over bones. At the girls he made eyes, But he seldom made pies, And his puddings elicited groans. II Mussing, Fussing, Spooning, Scheming, Every college knows its meaning.

With light insane her eyes are gleaming ! IV Prex of Bethany, ere I go, Give, oh, give me back some dough ! Or since that has gone before, Keep it now ; there ain ' t no more.

In most of the contests in which Bethany has participated, the standing of her representatives has been a display of this neglect. However, this is not all due to the college but largely to the students who have looked with contempt upon the advantages to be derived from participation in this art. For some years Bethany held membership in a debating associa- tion and was able to hold her own in most cases against her sister col- leges. However, last year the debates that were arranged for were not held because of lack of proper support from tbe student body. This year we have arranged for deb ates with West Virginia Wesleyan and Marietta colleges to be held some time in March. We are truly glad for the revival in this subject and feel con- fident that when the students can fully appreciate the benefit to be derived from such a course that the interest will be greatly stimulated. It is also with pride that we can say that the interest shown in the senior and junior orations of this year, as compared with those of last year, is far superior, as is also the character of the productions. Surely we have come to realize that oratory is not a lost art and that there is great demand for the men who can speak convincing!} ' . Never was there a time when there was greater need of men who can speak as well as write. The minister, the lawyer, the doctor, and even the farmer will be placed at a great disadvantage if he neglects this part of his college work. Bethany certainly will not allow this part of her curriculum to fall behind her other arts and sciences. In all of the other branches she is making rapid progress and for a small college is able to offer as good a course as many of the larger colleges and universities. Why, then, should we allow such an important part of the training for use- fulness and service to be neglected? In the days gone by such men as Champ Clark, Herbert Willett, Earl Wilfley, and others were trained here for the duties of life as public speakers and have made good, why not others? It may be that not enough emphasis is laid upon the study, but surely we have come to a place now where we ought to give more attention to such 129 matters if we expect to reach the highest possible efficiency in the place, which, as a college, we now occupy. The prizes recently offered by Mr. Earl Wilfley, of Washington, D. C, were thought to be at that time a stimulus to spur us on to greater efforts, but it seems that tbat, too, has been lost sight of in the busy rustle and bustle of college life. Let us see to it then tbat this important part of our college train- ing shall be given the proper time and effort along with our other work, and when Bethany shall meet with other colleges in debates or oratorical contests she shall be able, not only to bold her own, but shall be able to carry off the laurels in such contests. Then shall we be justly proud of Old Bethany in all the achievements of her noble sons and daughters of the years to come. 130 May Day Social Brilliant party given by the Collegian Staff for the benefit of The Collegian. A committee composed of Rev. Lawrence Doak, Ed. Neal and Lefty Lewis are to be congratulated on the successful manner in which they gave Bethany society folks the gala day of the school year. Our society artist was on hand and so was able to give us full particu- lars as appear below. The committee ' s intention was to give the party on the Corridor, but as the powers that be objected, a group of rough- necks were detailed to procure the key of the Library from Care-taker Scott. At a given signal the joyous multitude flocked across the campus and huddled themselves in the Library while the key was turned against the opposition. In the breathing spell that ensued, the guests were able to perceive what arrangements had been made for their en- tertainment. When it was found that the Corridor could not be used, hurried decorations were made in the hall. Bethany ' s colors were strewn around profusely, a long list of Collegian subscribers who had not yet paid subscriptions, appeared in a prominent place, a bower made cozy by an abundance of Dandelions and May Apples were set aside for the patronesses, Mrs. Manchester, Mrs. Bourne and Mrs. Mendell. Mr. Blau, one of the honored guests, rendered some fine rag time selections. Mr. McDaniels read his famous monologue en- titled Watermillions. In another corner Hypnotist LeRue dem- onstrated his occidt power on one of the Bethany citizens, Mr. Babe Douden. Dr. Poland called the roll. The grand march was led by Mr. John Burns Webster of Scio, Ohio, and Miss I. Rat Rogers, ' 13. One might look in vain for a familiar Biz couple but, as it seemed, all the men had tied themselves down with new burdens and this was proven to be true by the exceptions which came to light a little later when it was seen that Bessie Spence and the Rev. Sparks were taking lunch together. Some very prominent couples appeared: Bill Butler and Helen McDonald were there ; Mr. Neilson and Jeanne McClain made a bid for popularity when they did the Highland Fling during an intermission; Slim Xicholson, dressed in a basket ball suit, was escorted to the affair by Miss Aston; J. Bullet Smith, all dolled up in 131 a borrowed mackinae, appeared with his eight wives. One of the sur- prises of the evening was rendered when the orchestra played the music for a Fish- Walk and only two couples appeared, Miss Tea- garden and Edgar Saum, Joy Taylor and Mr. Batson. However, the audience was highly delighted by the cleverly artistic manner in which these young people executed this most intricate of steps. The out-of-town guests were Lee and Bill McCann, Wheeling, W. Va. ; J. J. Foley, Connellsville, Pa.; Mouch McGrail, Martins Ferry, Ohio, and Mr. Blau of Johnstown, Pa. The celebrated Miss Helena Kesterling was one of the bells of the evening. After the program had ceased, the Y. M. C. A. boys served a decidedly choice collation, con- sisting of hamberger sandwiches dressed with onions and mustard, mince pie, all over mud. hot dogs and hot beef sandwiches a la cafe Antler. At a late hour the merry throng dispersed and the last Biz couple was seen to make a last long fond farewell as the clock in the tower solemnly tolled the hour of two.

Eighty=seVen hundred Bible schools, including the largest and most successful among us, have their equipment from this house. The Sunday=school Publications have a circulation of more than a million and a half. The Postage paid to the Cincinnati postoffice, through The Standard Publishing Co., for the fiscal year, ending September 30, 1912, amounted to $29,614.74 — more we are told, than paid by any other house in the city. This postage is paid by 8,700 schools, who unite in supporting the house that has led in the Sunday-school work for forty years, and has never failed in keeping step with them in their splendid march to greater things. The Standard Series, beginning in 1873 with a small monthly, with a few hundred circulation, includes now, entered and in pre- paration, no less than sixty separate periodical publications now in use in our Bible schools, a record unequaled by any Sunday-school house in the world. The great teacher-training victory, under Her- bert Moninger, was won under the leadership of the Standard Series. The Standard School of Bible-school Methods at Canton, Ohio, was instituted under the auspices of the Standard Series, and is manned by the Standard specialists. The great system of graded Bible- school study is carried out in the Standard Series in a perfection attempted by no other house in the world. In the past seven years not less than Fifty Thousand Dollars has been contributed to world-wide missions by the Standard Publishing Co., its contributions never falling below $2,500 a year. At the beginning of the Church Extension work, thirty-two years ago, at great sacri- fice, the Standard Publishing Co. pledged and paid Five Thousand Dollars into the Extension Fund. That contribution (now $9,455.21) has built sixty-four churches already, and will build more and more as time goes on, perpetually. But time fails us to tell of the leadership of Isaac Errett and Hobbs and Monser and McGarvey and Pendleton and Moninger and Thornton and Meacham and Faris and a long succession of master minds that have wrought out these great works — all red-letter names in our records as a people. The Red-letter records of the brotherhood for forty years will be found inseparably identified with the history of this great house.
