I stood alone in the valley With my face turned toward the west, Where the sun in all his glory ' ent to a well earned rest. And the classic hall of the college Stood high on the brow of the hill, Its outlines showing blacklv — Sturdy, majestic, still — - And I thought of the grand old dreamer Whose dream at last came true. After years of hardships and lab(ir. To benefit me — and you. There it stands as a grand memorial Perfect in every line ; Its youth renewed each Springtime By the leaves of the ivy vme. Coverefl with snow in winter. Baked by the Summer sun. Glorified by the sunset. Starlit when day is done. And a constant inspiration May it be for you and me, To live up to its standards ' Till time shall cease to be. — H. B. I. S BETHMIAH sF hat ttB to ICouf. Out of a heart conies love, Pure as a snow white dove, A love, kind, holy, sane. It soars up high above, In return for God ' s own love, A love that does not feign. A love so kind and true. That it e ' er seeks to do. To help this sorrowful world. A love of man for man That serveth as it can, A love that is unfurled. -H. D. D. 10 w u z w u w o O 11 President T. E. Cramblet. 12 . ' l§ BETHMIM in ir. Sljnmas IE. Qlrambbt Within tlie past ten years or so Bethany College has enjoyed a high degree of prosperity. Her debts have been cleared, her endowment has been greatly increased and her equipment has been augmented. We are glad to say that no small part of this development has been due to the untiring efforts of our president. Dr. T. E. Cramblet. He has worked steadily to put Bethany among the forefront in the Disciple brotherhood and among the colleges of West A ' irginia. Thomas E. Cramblet was born September 17, 1862, upon a farm in Harri- son County, Ohio. His education was obtained at Scio College ' 77-80; Ohio vState University, ' 80- ' 82, and Mt. Union College, from which he graduatcfl in 1883 with first honors. Desiring to study for ministry he entered Kentucky Uni- versity at Lexington in ' 87. Inl888 he was honored with the degree of A.M. from his Alma Mater at Alliance, Ohio, and in 1902 he received the degree of L.L.D. from the University of Pittsburgh. From 1888, the next fourteen years of his life, were devoted exclusively to preaching the word. His first ministry was spent with the little church at Mentor, the home of the Garfield family. His next ministry was at Salem, Ohio. After three years of successful labor here he was called to the First Church at Omaha, Neb. In May, 1896, he was called to the pulpit of the East End Church, Pittsburgh. Mr. Cramblet has also engaged actively in evangelistic work, holding successful meetings in Knoxville, Lawrenceville and New Castle and other places. In the spring of 1901 he made an extensive trip of observation and study through Europe and the Holy Land, conducting a party of nine. That same year he was unanimously chosen to become president of Bethany College and was inaugurated on December 10th, 1901. Fie at once won the confidence of both students and citizens of the town and began that series of improvements which has established Bethany as a leader among the colleges of the Christian Clim-ch. The best wishes of the student body and friends go with Dr. Cramblet in his work. May he have still greater success in improving this the mother of our colleges. 13 14 JOllX MlLTuX HOVER ALUERT C.

And oh. how real were all my dreams And oh, how bright your future seems. Long have I dreamed, and fond, for thee, Oh, Class o ' mine. I sat by the side of a murmuring sea. And a little wave whispered a tale to me. Told of a trip from a far, far land. Through storm and calm to this peaceful strand. To tell me fame waits even there for thee. Oh, class o ' mine. I sat and gazed at a star one night. In its canopy blue it seemed so bright, How many a long, long night von shine. Your presence there is a beacon sign, And I prayed, oh star, will you guide us right? ' This class o ' mine. Oh, class o mine, I ' ve thought of thee. Thought of your fate in years to be. And I thought if God would be your guide, And that love of man might sorrow hide. Then would my dreams be true for thee, Oh. class o ' mine. Oh, Seventeen. — H. D. DARSIE. J8 19 Malcolm S.

During the four years of our travels in liethany the clas of ' 17 have ma ' e many changes in membership. We have regretted the loss of those who started the journey with us but have greatly rejoiced over the additions of those who have joined us along the wav. Our defeat in ' 14 was met with disappointment, but it nnlv spnrrcil us o:i to work harder, and we are proud to say that we have been victorious in all our activities since. Net only have we been successful on the field hut in the chss- room, and best of all we are proud of our talent on the platform. There is no doubt in the minds of those who attended the chapel orations and debates this year that the class of ' 17 have excelled previous classes along these lines. Our class is most unusual in many respects. The most conspicuous being the minority of girls compared to the large number of boys, but we are fortunate in having several married (male) members who are entitled to bring their wives to our social functions who help us out. Then we have some dignified preachers and teachers who add much to the solemnity of the class behavior. ' e still have others not far removed from their childhood days who are most nobly shoul lering many duties and responsibilities of Senior life. The three commencements we have witnessed have been looked upon v ith great joy and happiness, but as the time for our departure draws near it does not appear so joyful, ' c realize that the way has been rough and we have often been discourage l, but it is only the beginning of a more rugge l way which we are about to explore. But the class of ' 17 will always be loyal to her Alma : later and cherish the good times and values received in the classroom forever. N. x FuRH.w ' 17. si .

It is interesting to note that with the grow th of the Xew Bethany. along other lines, that the School of Education has grown, not only in number and qual- ity of students, but in amount and quality of work. In the history of the depart- ment there has been only one class (1912 i which has graduated the same mmiber of students. The worth of this school is being noted and the influence of its diploma extends through many more states.

The broad, green campus, ribboned with white walks: The sun-baked ball field, rimmed with weathered bleachers; The ancient walls of our beloved college, Xh many narrow windows and spires pointing e -er upward: The great still classrooms, the dark resounding corridor; The frat-houses and gleaming dormitories ; The crooked paving of the antique streets That lead to pleasant roads among the hills ; The cheerful murmur of the wondering rills; Three Falls, the Dam, and other picnic places. These things we leave forever ; we must pass. Before us j ' awns the world of unknown things. Where everyone must feel his wa - alone. And all the light that guides our groping fingers.

The shadows flicker o ' er the waving leaves. Three years of living with such vivid nature, Three years of study, joy and yet of care. How close our eyes have scanned each lovely feature, That helps to make this campus seem so fair. Swiftly will this remaining year pass by, For, oh, so happily have the three been spent. Time hastens, pausing not for smile or sigh. And says, spend well that last year 1 will lend. May this class be ever strong, true and fair. As in old llethany the mendiers take their place. Juniors, stand undaunted, ready to do and dare, Then it can be said, you have won the race. Nature is radiant, the world challenges all. Be loval to faculty, friends, classmates. Hark the challenge, heed the ringing, clear call. Then will all Juniors stand fearless, undaunted by fate. — KATHRYN MAXSELL. Ml 41 J. Monroe Sweeney. Behold, the Juniors ' Kentucky Colonel, far from home and like most Kentuckians, forever raving about his native state. When you meet J. Monroe call him Bud , for he will call you Tom or Dick or whatever your first name is, as soon as he learns it. Bud is a stickler for a square deal from everyone. It he lias dealings with you. expect to be met half way on most any proposition. We would predict for him a political career such as his sire enjoyed should he become inter- ested in that line of acliievement. However, we deduce from the class activities in early Decem- ber, 1916, that he is temperamentally unfit to be a barber. Fr.WK ISowsER. Here is another indi idual who owes a great deal to Ford. He hails from Ford City, Pa., known throughout the world liccause it happens to have the same name as the man who made $395 famous. He declares he is going to be a physician, but wc would advise him to be law- yer because of his fearlessness in delivering liis message to the public. Xevertheless, there are great tilings in Brainy, liut whether he ever gets them out or not reniaiiis to be seen. K. Tin;Ri.

Her one great ambition is to be a school teacher and this ' led her to Bethany for preparation. Since coming here, however, it seems that she has found it quite delightful just to teach one. .Anyway, Raymond seems to like the system and says that she is a most excellent instructor. 42 Hazrl Hknrv. HjLzil Henry, wlm came to our class of ' 18 in licr Sophomore year, hails from Hudson, a quiet and peaceful little town in Northern Ohio, which seems to have transmitted some of its quietness and peacefulness into Hazel ' s personality.

' We didn ' t think you could do as good as that : but we gladly and clieerfiilly admit you are some orator. Conny is a good fellow and we all like him. We feel safe in predicting , in spite of the handicap of Verona, Pa., that he will rise to heights of use- fulness and we hope, greatness. How.vRD Thomas. Howard, alias Had, alias Pinkey, is one of our l)right and shining lights. He is on hand at every occasion and if he cannot be found by the peal of his laughter, he has other characteristics which make him distinctive even in a crowd. His a(l entures in P.iz, however, are varied and a little uncertain. John ' . n SrsE. Who told that story? asked a verdant Fresh- man, when the laughter subsided.

Calm and dignified, yet possessing a rare good ln;mor, thus have we come to know our beloved Class President, Paul Newcomer Miley. He has shown great interest in all college activities. On rare occasions he has even been known to step forth On Biz. U. G. Palmer, Jr. No one but a rank outsider would ever ques- tion what tliis criptogram stands for. Pope tands si.x feet one inch tall, has hair, eyes, mouth, etc. Pope hails from Verona. Pa., and is strong for the old home town. His spe- cialties are peanuts and logic. Hli;LEX lR ' rx. Haste thee, nymph, and bring with thee Jest and youthful jollity. Come and trip it as you go On the light fantastic toe. Thus we know Helen, tho ' she has been with us liut a short time. Her sweet and charming manner has won for her many friends. She has taken and extensive course in Biz tho ' as j-et we know not where her true aft ' ections lie. 45 Donald ] Iann. Piehold my countenance. I liail from the fair land of Florida. I have a fine disposition which you can tell by looking at my face. I will help anybody, anywhere if — there is a girl concerned. I ' m not so fond of orations as the rest of the family but I think, perhaps by April 12th, I shall have faced you. I am always hopeful and have great plans for the future ; to bring honor to my Alma Mater and the class of 1918. Allene Scott. A quiet, modest little girl, who came to Beth- any to learn to teach the young idea how to sprout, she has taught us all to like her sweet and winning ways. We predict good things for you, when you leave us, Allene. JOHX Ka.s ' IKIS. This Junior, born in the land of Greece, has liecome well known and admired among his [Sethany friends for his earnestness and deter- mination. In spite of the handicap of foreign birth, Mr. Kasvikis has attained an excellency in the oratorical field. Not only has he climbed Mt. Parnassus in reality in his native land, but in like manner has he climbed the more difficult mountains of work and study until he is reaching a summit of reward for his persistence and dili- gence. The future of this young man will doulit- Icss hold many honors and prove that the years spent in Bethany have fitted him for a life-work in the world. 46 Pkrcy Thomas. Percy Thomas, who hails from Follansbee, some place in West Virginia, is one of our prize orators. He is not much for Biz Init we have been told that he landed in Bethany whistling The Girl I Left Behind. Percy is a hard worker, a diligent student, a good fellow and a friend to all. We feel sure that he will be a success wherever he goes. Martha Harris. Martha is one of the quiet, studious, serious kind of girls that made little ado, but do much. She is a staunch member of the Volunteer Mission Band. Martha seems to be looking forward to a happy future ; she is always smiling and smiling. I wonder if the mysterious ring on the left hand explains why. Perhaps the secret also lies in these words : All skies are fair to trusting hearts. Ethel Cumpston. If you don ' t know your lesson well, why, just ask Ethel — she can tell ' most anything you learn in class. Of knowledge she has quite a mass. She ' s everybody ' s quiet friend — a helping hand she ' ll gladly lend. To help the Banquet get a start, our Ethel took a leading part. 47 Charlrs Elder. Doc ' s a iiicnilicr of whom we nre proud. On his arrival here. Doc seemed not very much incHned toward the intellectual side of college life, but was recognized from the tir st as a foot- ball star. Of late, it seems, Doc, not being sat- isfied with foot-ball laurels, has directed his energies toward class-room work and is making a fair bid to repeat his foot-ball record there. F.MRv Remfeldt. We have a little fairy in our school: have you ever seen her? A maid as demiTe and tiny as her name typifies — and sucli a Rood student. W ' lm wiirld ever imagine that si ' ch a small girl could know so much. How wise she looks. VVc thought her a Senior when she lirst came to Beth,-iny. We are proud of you, Fairy; you hold up our class average. LoRETT. Johnson. Lorcila. known to her friends as Polly, did nut join us until our second year in college, but her ready smile, her sunny disposition and her modest mien have won for her a place in the liearts of all her classmates and of at least one lucky Sophomore. Adelia Hobbs. Everyl)ody ' s friend! This fits tlic original of ihc picture you are now beholding — for ' •Deal is a friend of everyone in Old Betliany. She al- ways has a cheery word and a friendly smile for those who pass her way and Deal ' s smile can lie seen even across the Campus. The best we can hope for Deal is that her friendly spirit and her gloom-dispelling smile will increase and grow and that its sunshine may still remain in iicthany even after Deal has left us. W. W. TlLOCK. Frank Lappin. Xot every preacher ' s son is bad, for Frank ' s a quiet, steady lad. The Bookstore never fared so well as when into Frank ' s hands it fell, for to the store fare but ymi will find Frank Lappin, there. In all his studies he ' s a shark but still, they say, be likes a lark. In music, too, he knows some things — he sure can make that ' cello sing! He iravels down the devious ways to reach the place Aliss Morgan stays. 49 ' iRGiNiA Dudley. No place on earth do I love more sincerely Than Old Virginia, the state where I was born. However, Ohio is a close second in her aflections or so we assnme. Virginia has done much for her class, and our team by her great persuasive powers. Russell Schiveley. Guess, ye Juniors — tried and true. This riddle I have made for you ! Who with a tall girl doth adore To walk upon the corridor? Upon whose face is e ' er a smile For in his heart there is no guile? Who journies forth whene ' er he may To call — down Doctor Booher ' s way? Who is a Sig. — but more than that, Is very skilled with a b;isc-l)all hat? In case this riddle is hard for you, I ' ll tell the answer to you true — ' Tis Shive! S. Todd Bull. rd. Behold the noble brow of the popular Presi- dent of our little old well-known . Vg. Club. Can he milk a cow? He can! Can he milk two cows? .Also he can! But not at once, we hope, for Todd has a future before him : and any self- respecting cow or any two self-respecting cows would seriously object to any such apparent dis- regard of the customs and traditions of cow land. But do not get the idea that all L. T. B. can do is milk cows. He can deliver a Phillipic against the Kaiser with such vigorous denuncia- tion, with fists clenched and eyes ablaze that were he to use such energy and power on an unsus- pecting Lady Lillian of . Xvondale No. 34972 (2,346 lbs. per year) that the above mentioned Lady would do to Todd what the Kaiser did to Belgium. SO J. Mitchell Hoye. Mr. Hoye, our Aiuniinum Boy, has been with us since his Sophomore year. At first he was aUrt. and became quite a flirt. His foremost stunt was to go on a hunt for a pretty Httle maiden, so fair, with curley hair. But, alas I time brought a separation which at first we tliought was imagination, but wliicli to our great horror and J. Mitcliell ' s great sorrow proved to be true. He tried it once again; to church he wended his way, with a maiden so gay, but she liome went her way, alone. He decided there and then, never to try again. It is talked about of late, that he will take a pastorate and settling down forever, think only of Wear Ever. Almcix AL x. -, Quite popular is this K. A., quite a Mann: His name, to all who hear, firings gladness to the heart, and music to the ear. At least so say the girls of this tall, handsome Mann. Franklin Payne. After roaming about the state of Xew York for several years, Franklin decided to come to Bethany and we have never regretted his deci- sion. In feminine circles Franklin is a very well-known figure and it is said that he has to use a slide-rule in order to answer his volum- nous correspondence. Besides all this he holds down a steady job in a church at Xcwton Falls, Ohio, is a member of College Orchestra, an ora- tor and would do more if he were not so busy witli his duties as Assistant Business Manager of the Bethanian. 51 Mazie; McDonald. Two years ago last fall, there came a wee little girl from Aspenwall. She is not very big and not very tall, but Cliarlie says — she sure beats them all. This little lass is a star in her class (Bizology). If asked what she likes more than Biz she promptly replies More Biz, In work and in play our Mazie is always jolly and gay. Rah ! for Mazie. Maukixe Lappin. Here ' s to Birdie, the wittiest Who ever has a smile Here ' s to Birdie, the shortest Who every once in a while, Does with a tall one, walk the corridor. Here ' s to Birdie, the cleverest Who teaches Doinestic Classes ; Here ' s to the one who is truest The one who is sweetest — and bizziest May her present be ever merry Her future be bright and cheery For here ' s to the finest, the fairest, — Our Birdie ! Mary Talbott. Can you think of anything Mary cannot do? She can make the toast and toasts, lead Y. W., teach school, make good grades, and also friends, still she finds time to learn something of the Pastrnaster ' s arts. 52 BETHMIAH Leiv Moore- Lee is studying to be a minister. He will be a sucess if we may judge from his previous records in football or track. He goes after things, works hard and accomplishes his purpose. He is the hero of the famous shadow-pictures on the door of Oglebay Hall. Lee is very fond of walking. What the destination of these hikes is wo do not know, but hear that West Liberty has an attraction. Emory Penhorwood. This quiet youth presented himself to the class ' 18 at the opening of this school year. We knew very little of his character, but upon being in- formed that he hailed from Ohio, we gladly opened our doors and welcomed him to our midst. Emory at once proceeded to nip ot¥ the ?0 ' s and has made himself solid. Miss Sarah AIansell. Sister is a Rechabite and is proud of it, too. But no wonder, for her brothers are so good to her that her position is the envy of all the other girls in the college. But Sister is more than a Rechabite. She is an all ' round college girl. You will find her in the Adelphian Hall, you will find her in the meetings of the Student Volunteer Band, you will find her in the C. E. Society, in short, you will find her anywhere where there is work to be done, and she can be of assistance. Sister, your genial good will and your energy assures j ' ou a brilliant future. S3 BETHMIM Clyde Bucey. Here is another new member to our class of 1918. His name is Clyde Bucey. He is a com- bination of seriousness and dignity — serious be- cause life is serious — dignity, because the pulpit demands it. He is rarely seen, excepting at classes and chapel, but his 90 ' s add much to our class average. RoiuCRT Ross. Ross comes to us from Canton. He has been with us only a short time but in th.nt time he has made his influence felt in a marked degree, es- pecially in ministerial circles. He is a splendid student and preaches regularly every Sunday. Then, too. he found his place when Junior ora- tions came around, and we believe he may be- come quite an orator. The class welcomes you, Robert, and feels that you will make a valuable addition to its numbers. 54 BETHANIAH ifi Sluntnr (HImb. President I ' ai ' i, Arn.Kv J ' icc-Prcsidciit J.

To be convinced of this, one needs only to recall Old Beth- any ' s campus, radiant with beauty and splendor, in the autumn of 1914. The sun shone in his resplendant glory, dazzling the eye, on that da} ' when a group oi students entered the college as Freshmen. The organization of this class soon took place, and Anderson D. Owens, from the Blue Grass region, was chosen as president. Soon after the class rush occurred, in which tiic unselfish spirit of the class was shown. The Sophomores were given the victory, out of respect for age. In 1913, wdien the class had attained the dignified position of Sophomores, a jolly good buckeye, from the Buckeye state. Russell Shivel} ' , was chosen as president. L ' nder his guidance the class took many progressive steps. There was another class rush this fall, and the class was so tender hearted that it permitted the delicate and verdant young, homesick Freshmen to enjoy the laurels- However, in spite of such tenderheartedness, the class shines in all other school activities. In football the name of Elder is sung abroad, while that of Shively shows up both in football and baseball. The illustrious carreer of this class as Juniors, with another buckeve, Paul Miley, as pilot, will be a source of inspiration to all the classes following. Dur- ing the sojourn of three years b_ - this class at Bethany College, it has done every- thing in its power to bring honor and glor_ - to this old institution, and may it be held in the minds of all as A thing of beauty and a joy forever. Ethel ' SI. Cumpston, Historian. 56 57 BETHMIAM oplpmnr a. SOPHOMORES. I do not sing of stately Seniors, or of Freslimen green. Or of the crew called Juniors, who on every hand are seen. I raise my voice to sing the praise of that illustrious band Who bear the name of Soph ' mores, and are known throughout the land. They shine in every gathering and star in everv class. And when they come to take exams they never fail to pass. Upon the field of sport they show a world of pluck and grit, And even on the corridor they do their little bit. Their record is upon the bonks where everyone mav read. And every passerby remarks ujaon how far thev lead. So when you have a task that needs a wit both sharp and keen. Just call for one who wears upon his breast the word nineteen. An l wlien this noble company shall leave to start the fight Against the citadels of fame, the}- ' ll scale its towering height, And through the halls of liethany for ever and a dav Will sound the honored story of the Crimson and the Grey.

Alany were the sighs when it was learned that each member was expected to wear a neat, little, green skull cap. But 1919, instead of continued resentment, organized and then con- sented to wear the cap. Then, oh then, it was learned that no Freshman was expected to be sociable with the fair se.x, and this was the most unkindest cut of all. A few of the members broke this rule. Memorable are the trials held in the chapel at the mysterious hour of twelve. However, this ban was lifted at Christmas time, and then afterwards the class plunged heart and soul into society, athletics and studies. What member will ever forget the Freshman banquet, the guarding infantry and the wonderful banquet itself? The class as a whole participated freely in literary societies and athletics. They won the Soph-Fresh football game, took high honors in track, and won the Soph-Fresh baseball game. Then, perhaps, the crowning event of the Freshman year was the winning of the class fight on December 7. Who could forget the massing of men in Cochran Hall on that memorable night, and the mad rush early in the morning? With a series of social and literary victories, the Freshmen year ended. Then they arrived at the important station of Sophomore. They en- tered the activities with the same vigor as displayed wdiile Freshies. A chain of events succeeded each other, all to the glory of the Sophs. Starting with the tie game of Fresh-Sophomore football, events followed in approximately this succession: Cutting of Freshies hair for refusal to wear caps; organization of the class and election of officers ; decision for Sophomore banquet ; the truce with the Freshies and social and literary distinction throughout. As long as Neotrophian lived she was supported by Sophomores and all the charter members of the new Karterian were Sophs- Class stunt night in the library will be re- membered by the Sophomore Humanaphone . The class has succeeded and will succeed in the future, aiul if history begets phophecy, not only Bethanv, but the world will be proud of the class of ' 19. R. Ralph H. Miller. 62 B BETHMIM i FRESHMEN STOP! LOOK ! LISTEN ! READ ! After the Sod Busters ' reunion, on Friday evening, Sept. 22nd, 1916. the following rules for all members of the Freshmai Class will be imposed : Rules for Freshmen. 1. Each Freshman entering Uethany for the first time will be required to purchase and to wear at all times a Freshman caj), which will be procurable at a day to be announced later. 2. No new male member of the first class ( or excuse for such) is allowed to go on F)iz before Christmas vacation. An} violation of tliis law is punishable by Cricking, or other grewsome and painful death. Flag Rush. This annual Sophomore vs. Fresh contest will be held al some shadowy, unknown date, at which time all Freshies seen after dark without their Mamma ' s will be sternly and hideousl)- tor- tured by the Sophomores.

Once again, in September of 1916, the halls of old Bethany resoun.le.l with the tramp of many newcomers. This time the march of the Freshmen seemed firmer, perhaps more daring than was the custom. The first indications were but a (Hm forecast of what was to follow. Doubtless those attending the College did not comprehend the lack of timidity and slowness usually attributed to Freshmen. For, without delay, the class was organized and in working order. The perfect, serene confidence of these sixty-four was shaken, just a little, when the wearers of the Gold and [ ' .lack walked with scowls and dismay through Buffalo Creek. Shaken was their confidence but not overcome. The following weeks revealed the unusual daring of 1920- A day and night passed which was filled with visions of scissors, caps, hair, indignation and amusement, and the cor- ridor resounded with excitement as was never before known. Certainl}- no Fresman has found the days dull and mav each one of the sixty-four be ever true to Bethany, the Green an l ' hite, and to 1920, the Gold and Black. .

This year we have one humlred and fifteen students enrolled ill our department. Of this number eighteen are listed as Senior Preparatory students. The Senior Class is one that would liring honor to any school. Ever) ' Senior is a hard working, conscientious student. Xot one is satisfied with medi- ocrity, hut all are striving for perfection. The addition of this noble class to the college ranks means that next year the college can expect great things from the Freshman Class. The Preparatory Dep artment has been successful in a number of oratorical contests. Two contests, including debates, orations and readings, were held with Brilliant High School. In the first our department scored seventeen points to our opponents nine: in the second our department scored fifteen points to the opponents eleven. A debate soon will be held with Xew Cumberland High- Other high schools have been challenged, but the challenges have not been accepted. Along with the other literary work, the Mexander Campbell Literary Society should be mentioned. This society was organized one yea.r ago. At that time the society did not have a room even to call its own. Now we have a beau- tifully decorated, well-lighted one. A platform has been built. The society is making its influence felt. The few Preparatory students who do not belong to the Campbell Literary Society are missing a great treat. The value of the exper- ience derived from a literary society cannot be over estimated. Lender the supervision of Prof. Sprowls and Prof. Sutton new life has been added to the department. We have now an excellent corps of teachers. Each teacher is sympathetic, kind and patient, wdiich qualities act as a stimulus to the student and cause the development of his latent powers and talents. Let the teachers of our department keep up the good work! Let each student have for his motto: Excelsior! F. W. HELPER 71 lptl|anij (flcUrgf. Bethany College was founded in 1841 by Alexander Campbell, which makes it the oldest college in West N ' irginia. It would be hard to find a more beautiful college than liethany is, in the Spring and Summer, with her long main college buildings, vine clad, built in perfect Gothic style: with her beautiful campus of some fifty acres fringed with rose bushes and dotted by valuable shade trees : with the beautiful Buflfalo creek that winds through the town. An atmosphere of soli- tude and peace and harmony hovers over a situation as lovely as God ever created- Here, nestled among the rolling hills of West ' irginia wth her inspiration, encouraged by a past as famous as a college ever had, some 358 students have spent this college year. They came from all corners of the world and nearly every state in the Union : from Australia, Japan, Honolulu. England, Canada, Greece, Sweden, Armenia, from Florida, Alabama, Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Alassachussetts. Utah, Delaware and some fifteen other states. Nineteen hundred sixteen and seventeen has been a year of successes. Never has the college enjo_ ' cd such a year of liarnidny and good feeling. The old time Bethan_ - Pep is reviving, a spirit of boosting is abroad. The outlook for the future is brilliant. Perhaps that one thing which the students have hailed with the most joy is the Irvin gymnasium, donated by the Irvin family of Big Run, Pa. Many are the eager eyes watching its erection- It is to be a beautiful building of ancient Gothic style harmonizing with the main college building and equipped as perfectly as twentieth centur}- standards will permit. ISethan} ' College buildings and campus are worth $494,000; this includes the main college building, the library, the campus of 50 acres, the Curtis field of 23 acres, the Parkinson farm of 261 acres, the Campbell farm of 205 acres, Phillips Hall, Ogelbay Gates and Cochran Hall. The endowment is estimate 1 at $429,0 6, making a total valuation of $923,076. The student activities have been more energetic this year than ever before. Bethany had one of the best football teams in several years, led by the popu ' ar Coach Heyman. The basketball team this spring is going to be equally successful. The debating team had a splendid season, defeating W. J-. Westminster and Geneva, losing only to University of Pittsbvu-gh and ' . S: J. A new Literary Society was formed, the Karterian ; and Adelphian and Campbell enjoyed their usual helpful years. One big and popular addition of the year was a real live, peppery liand ai led and abetted muchly bv the Uutz family. Professors Aliller anil Mahaffey engineered a series of monthly socials, and many and varied were these, and contributed in no small way to the best year Bethany College has ever had. Among the new organizations which this year invaded Bethanv must not be forgotten the Scientific Club and the Story Telling Club, which bid fair to become permanent organizations. The Dramatic Club closes a highly successful year with the [production of Shakespeare ' s comedy As You I ike It, this Com- mencement. . Cadet Corp of about a hundred students was organized and for the last month or two has been drilling daily. If the need comes Bethany will offer her Ijest to defend her country ' s honor. All hail to our country ' s flag! and all hail to Bethanv ' s Green and White. 72 O Iii l tltaug 1 My Father sent me to Old IScthany, Ami resolved that I should be a man. And so I settled down.

' arious professors have also brought mes.sages of inspiration and instruction at many times. These meetings are given over to the discussion of vital problems relating to the niinistr_ -. Members of the association preach o ' er a wide range of territory Stu- dents are heard at Xewton Falls, Smithfield, Morristown, lieallsville, Hunter, Stockpole, Dennis, Walhoning, Centerville, Salem, I ' crrytown and Bethesda in Ohio; at Xew Cumberland, Colliers. Antioch, Shinistown, Glen Easton. West Alexander, Pine Grove, Xew England and Sistersville in ' est X ' irginia: at West Aliddletown and Brownsville in Pennsylvania, and at many other points at intervals. The association, vhich lias a membership of about sixt}--five stu- dents, takes a prominent place in the life of the college. 79 80 BETHMIAH Unlunt r lanb The Volunteer Band meets every Thursday at 3 :30 o ' clock. We have a regular mission study class ; talks by the members of our faculty, and visiting missionaries. Our meetings are very inspiring and helpful. We have started a library this year, and by the gifts of our kind friends we have been able to secure a number of interesting books. This librarv makes a very acceptable addition to the room we are furnishing. We have some pic- tures of missionaries who have gone out from Bethany, and a very interesting collection of curios. ' e are raising money to aid Drake University to establish a printing press in Africa in memory of Frank Battson. Mr. Battson was a student, and a member of our ' olunteer Band at Bethany for two years and left to enter Drake University. He was a member of the Volunteer Band at Drake, and while at a picnic given by the ' olunteer members was drowned. Mr. Battson was held in high esteem by the students here. The church at West Liberty, in which Mr. Battson labored while here in Bethany, has given a very liberal offering for the memorial. The members of our Band have been doing some mission work in our Collegetown, and are planning to take up some work in ' ellsburg, our neigh- boring town. We have conducted some successful rallies this year, the members of the Band have worked faithfully, giving three or more talks in one day. This has been a very profitable and enjoyable feature of our work. Our present mem- bership is as follows: Miss Leona Underwood, President; Mr. Harry Martin. Vice President; Miss Wilma Snediker, Secretary and Treasurer. Miss Martha Harris, Helen Herman, Xella Miller, Sara Mansell, James Pearson, R. L. Bolen, Charles Moore, Percy Thomas and Mr. Shiplev. Wilma Snediker, Secretary. 81 L l 82 bethmiah |. m. (E- K.-Its xstar xn Irtljang. This, one of the most important and intiuential organizations in Bethany, was organized January 13, 1903, in Phillips Hall parlors. There were thirteen charter members. Elizabeth Carson was the first President, Emily Rober ts was Vice President; Secretary, Elsie Gregg Watkins ; Treasurer, Emily Roberts. Iloe Gross, Ethel Streator and Emily Roberts were members of the first com- mittee to welcome new students — that committee which has been always such a pleasant help in times of trouble: Misses Gordon, Oxer, Nellie Irvin, Blanche Harris, Charlotte Beable and Bessie Luke, were received into membership at the first meeting. The original plan of work and meetings was to have one each week, one a business meeting, one for unconverted students, one for Mission Study, one a union meeting with the Y. M. C. A. These were the Saturday evening meetings. They held also morning prayers every day at seven-fifteen, and met every Wednesday evening with Professor Hertzog to study the Sunday School lesson. There were no regular cabinet meetings ; they were called upon occasion. The social side of Y. W. C. A. life was not prominent. At the end of the year each cabinet girl wrote a letter to her successor, reporting what had been done by her committee that year, giving suggestions for the work to be carried on the next year, and ending with a little prayer. In nineteen-four Miss Julia Williams of Akron was sent to Asheville, North Carolina, as the first delegate of the Y. W. C. A. She reported in a meet- ing of December second, and her report seems to have been as enthusiastic and helpful as conference committees ' reports are today. At the end of the third year of its existence the Y. W. C. A. of Bethany had every girl in school en- rolled among its members. It was strong and daily growing stronger as a strengthening influence on the life at Phillips Hall. Today the girls hold meetings every Wednesday evening in Phillips Hall parlors and discuss questions of vital interest to girls in school, and the cabinet meets every Thursday for mutual help and Divine inspiration. The committees are all very active carrying on the work of the Association — the social side, the benevolent and spiritual sides, the financial side — and we have had splendid girls for presidents always. Aliss Fair - Rehfeldt is now the presi- dent. Miss Maurine Lappin has just closed a successful year as president, and who does not remember with love Miss Joy Taylor and Miss Claude Schultz. and before her Miss Mollic Gerke and Aliss Rodefer. 83 84 BETHMIAH |nint5 MnxB libb Ollass. When the Young Men ' s Bible Class eunvened last September, we found a promising crowd of ho_vs who seemed to be just the material needed to make the class better than in any previous year of its history, and at this time all agree that our class has been at the top of the ladder all the time. We were disap- pointed at the beginning of the year because our former teacher, Professor : Iil- ler, who so ably piloted the spiritual aims of the class for the last two years, decided that he could not teach the class regularly this year. We were all very sorry because I ' rofessor Aliller could not take the class, and we were undecided as to our teacher, until .Air. Lappin came into our community. Xo sooner had we heard him teach our class for the iirst time, than did we decide that we wanted him for our teacher. Air. Laiipin kindiv consented to take the class with Professor .Aliller as assistant teacher, and the interest the boys take in the class tells us that we made no mistake in selecting our teachers. Possibly no course in fhe college is more inspiring than the Sunday School lessons as presented by Air. Lappin in his masterful way. Our class certainly rallied to the standanl of Capt. lialch and on one occa- sion when we had seventy men on time, we nearly swampe.l the Royal Rlue, but all our efforts seem to have been in vain because the fates seem to be with Old Redy, and it is feared that the class will have to spend the summer in the Orient. The time has now come for the Y. Al. P. C. of ' le- ' i; to part and it is to be hoped that all members will carry back to their homes the inspiration which they have received with us, and thus let our light so shine that others may follow the gleam.

In many ways it was perhaps the most successful year in all her history. The excellency of the regular programs, the fine musical numbers, the few good socials, the special programs — all combined to make it a profitable year. As we look back over the deeds accomplished this year a tlirill of joy sweeps over our hearts ; the opening social was a decided success, the hal- lowe ' en program recalls pleasant memories, the Seniors out-did themselves with their program, the ' ashing■ton-Lincoln program, the Valentine pro- gram, the Musicale — all are worthy of note. In the first Senior Orations eight out of the first ten were Adelphians. In the first Junior Orations the first four were Ade!])hians or former Adel- phians. Four out of six Intercollegiate Debaters were Adelphians. Why enumerate any more? Does this not show what the .Kdelphian Literary Society can do for students in Bethany. Adelphia boasts that she has in her society one who in a tri-state contest last year between nine colleges carried off first honors with his Essay on Life Insurance and Thrift. We also have the honor of having in our society the Tri-State Orator of our college, who brought honor to Bethany by finishing third in a field of nine contestants. Are not these sufficient honors for a year ' s work? Our record speaks for it- self. We feel proud of what Adelphia has accomplished this year. We are sorry to lose a large number of our active members at the close of the year, but we feel sure that they will be heard in the world. The following are our Seniors, who graduate and we bid them Godspeed : Hugh Darsie, Simon Davidian, Ray Bolon, Rudolph Renner, Harry Smith, Violet Ho, J. R. Benjamin, Ralph Egbert, and Malcolm Norment. Ethel Cumpston, Catherine Cumpston and Ethel Spray graduate in the Normal course. Sarah Rarden, our official music committee, graduates this year in the music course. No more fitting close can be given than the new A. L. S. song written by Ethel Cumpston. It ' s fine to dream of college days and travel back in mind, Among the good old profs, so dear, who e always been so kind; To sing the songs of college dear, and all societies, Adelphia, Adelphia, is the one our hearts will please. CHORUS. So A. L. S., O, A. L. S., our good old Lit. for me ; My heart is turning there alway, and there I long to be. Though we all may wander from this town beyond the ocean bars. Our hearts revert to A. L. S. where we spent such pleasant hours. We love to praise the green and white, old Bethany ' s colors true. The colors of our Frats so dear and college classes too; But if you ask which we love best of colors, you ' ll be told We ' ll ever praise the purple of the dear old white and gold. — S. M. D. 91 92 IKart rtatt ICtt rarii ortrty. The Bethany College Literary Horizon of Septemljer, nineteen hun- dred sixteen, was almost submerged in gloom. The American Literary Insti- tute had been ailing all the previous spring and was then in too weak a condition to enter upon the arena of society action; wdiile Old Xeotrophiia, a gaunt ghost of his once brilliant self, was stalking his solitary way with but two woe-begone admirers. True, the Adelphian Literary Society was meeting and ' talking and attempting to inveigle adherents; but, with no rivals in the field, and with no impetus for intense loyalty, she bade fair to succomb to that same fatal lethargy which had destroyed her elder brother and sister. Then it was that a little band of ten earnest students conceived the idea of a new society, young and free, unchained by the old fetters of ancient constitutions and by-laws. They saw that Bethany had progressed in admit- ting the girl element, and that Xeotrophia had met his deserved fate in debar- ring that same vital element. Officers were elected pro temp. ; a new consti- tution was drafted, and adopted ; names, mottos and colors were eagerly dis- puted ; until finall} ' the name I arterians , meaning the perse ' ering ones ; the watchword, No labor, no crown ; the colors, pink and gold, and the daisy as societ} ' flower, were heartih agreed upon. A welcoming social and special meeting in Old Neotrophian Hall followed; the Adelphians began to watch with uneasy interest; new members came pouring in; enthusiasm ran riot, and Karteria was on every tongue. Prof. A ' alker, in lieu of a president, inaugurated the first term officers and the persevering literary society was at last fairly launched upon its liter- ary career. And so we are here! Why? Because you can ' t keep good men down? The faculty pessimistically predicted a failure ; the wearied Americans weakly remonstrated ; Old Neotrophians indignantly did their best ; A. L. S. tried her hardest, — but Ivarteria lives on in e ' er increasing prosperity and influence. It would fill ■olumes to tell of all her virtues. Let it suflice to sa} ' that bril- liance, studiousness, loyalty, manliness, enthusiasm and all other -irtues of the human body, mind and spirit, combine to make this the greatest literary society Bethany College has ever produced, and has been evidenced b} ' our phenomenal record this year, and as will be e ' idenced more clearly, when, in years to come, the remarkable achievements of the wearers of the black and gold, in the outside world are heralded abroad. 93 Jin ii mnrtem Ammran Sltt rary 3nHtttut N atrnptjmtt Slit rarg nrirtg 94 95 96 97 BETHMIM iramattr Club.

Aleetings were held monthly at the home of Prof. P)Ourne. The pro- grams were varied; one evening was spent in listening to an opera on the victrola ; at Christmas time an old-fashioned Christmas entertainment was held in the basement of the Library — made up of old Christmas songs, the wassail bowl, morris dancers, an angel pantomime and part of The Second Shepherd ' s Pla} ' . In February the program consisted of readings from favorite modern poets. Among those selected were Robert Service ' s Rhymes of a Red Cross Man, James ' hitcomb Riley, Alfred A ' oyse, Rupert Brooke. Tennyson, Rabindrinath Tagore and Rudj ard Kipling. In May an outdoor meeting on Mrs. Bourne ' s broad lawn is being planned. The club expects to wind up the year with a commencement play to be given on the campus. Shakespeare ' s As You Like It is the play selected. This play bids fair to be as successful as the Midsummer Night ' s Dream, given three years ago. 98 BETHMIAH (§ht tc Ml)ktUB.

The as- sembling of an aggregation of meat, together with a few stars, will not pro- duce a team that can justly hold claim to a place in the first rank. In order to produce such a team it is necessary to have a combination of spirit, cumula- tive strength and a solid foundation of experienced men who have played together for several years to build upon from the start. So it is for this rea- son that we are not disappointed as to our success the past season. For, although in the number of games won and lost we found ourseh ' es at the close of the season with a record of many defeats, Bethany scored a total of 184 points during the season to her opponents ' 198. We started the season of V G on an entirely new basis. ' e had a new coach, a new system and almost a new squad. Coach Heyman, wIkt needs no introduction at this time to the followers of athletics at Bethany, realizing all the odds confronting him, worked courageously, patiently, faithfully, un- selfishly and eft ecti ' ely to overcome them. Needless to say, he performed his duty like a hero. At the beginning of school only six old B men reported for work. These were Capt. Heyburn, Elder, Dunn, Thomas, ' an Sise, TNdock and Shively, but injuries kept two of these men out of the game most of the sea- son. Lots of football talent was discovered among the new men, which aided, greatly. The opening game was played with W. J. The score of 37-6 was very encouraging considering our opponent and the fact also that Bethany really outplayed the much heavier Red and Black warriors in the first half. The second game was played with Carnegie Tech at I ' ittsburgh and again Capt. Heyliurn ' s men made a favorable impression upon the football world. Xext came the victories over Broaddus and Muskingum. Xever was Bethany, keyed up to a higher pitch of football enthusiasm for many years. Injuries then followed in rapid succession, and the services of Elder was greatly missed. The outcome of the games that followed were not so impressive, but nothing to be ashamed of. The Geneva, Hiram and Grove City games were lost by close scores. But had we not been handicapped by misfortunes, and received our share of the breaks in the last few games, the outcome as a whole would have been still more impressive. 107 108 109 l w J J mv u li yi IS :: .

This organization has been in existence over fonr years, having been lonnded on the fourth of ]March, 1913. leetings have been held twice a month since then, for a long time in Oglebay Hall, but this has been changed and we now meet in the Club House. The purpose of this change was to bring the fellows in closer touch with one another — to make the fellows who do not room in the house feel at home there. It is also more convenient for most of the Agricultural students. Mr. E. ' . Ogleba}-, the founder of the Department of Agriculture of Bethanv College, realized the alue of the practical side of agriculture associ- ated with the theoretical, and this has ever been kept in mind. At the meet- ings practical rural problems are discussed and the students who attend obtain a great fund of information here in addition to that gained in the class room. For those who want practical experience, along with financial recompense, the College ofifers fine opportunities. Each department has its foreman who is chosen b} ' right of experience and ability. The farm is conducted chiefly by student labor with Professor Ho -er as general manager. The Clul) members were entertained this year at Professors Hover ' s and Pearson ' s residences, respecti ' el3-. Probably m(ire than anything else thi,s has promoted the interest and spirit of fellowshij) in the Club. It was very much appreciated b} every one, to say the least. The annual banquet was held February 17. This was the home-coming time for the old students and they responded to the call. The interest in the welfare of the Club shown by these men inspires the younger men to greater things. The year 1916 witnessed the graduation of the first Bethany Ags — liitner, Lewis and Rudeboch being the three to complete the required course They all deser -e praise for the mannr in which they supported the Club while in school and afterwards as well. This year there are four graduates, from all of whom great things are expected. May they remember with pleas- ure their college days and their old Piethany Ag. Club associations, and may their efforts in life be cro ncd with success. T. X.

While it has not won e ' ery contest, it has Ijeen awarded the decision in four out of six times it has appealed to the judges. These ' ictories were not hap- penings of chance, but were the fruit of much hard work and sacrifice of time on the part of the debaters and their efficient coach, Prof. H. T. Sutton. The students gave the team excellent support and every debate on the home platform was heard by a good-sized audience. Miile applause was prohibited, the team was incited to do its best by the responsive and atten- ti ' e faces before it. In every one of the debates some form of the following resolution was debated: Resolved, That the United States should adopt uni ' ersal military training. The affirmative side of the question was upheld by a team con- sisting of H. D. Darsie, R. R. Renner and K. B. Lutz. The negative team included S. Davidian, H. Cory and Id. Smith. The record of the season is as follows: Washington and Jeft ' erson (Dual) Affirmative won. Negative lost Geneva Affirmative won. Westminster (Dual) Affirmativee won Negative won.

Did you ne er notice the line of fellows extending from the main entrance on the corridor up to the Oglebay Science Hall? Well some afternoon about 3:30 just stroll up that way and notice how the line watches the door until some certain lassie appears with a carefully wrapped package. You will see a young fellow advance, striving to be the essence of politeness but never allowing his eyes to wander from that suggestive pack- age. She hands it to him. Does he eat it? Devour would be more appro- priate, i Oh, you say you met a D. S. professor? Well, which one could it have been ? We have had four this year. Aliss Armstrong did not return this year, desiring to teach the little Porto Ricans how to cook and serve rice. Miss Dulaney took her place. Just as we were getting well acquainted with her she left and the dishpans had a rest for about a week. Little Miss Lappin stepped in next and gave up her outside work to help us for a while. Hut llethany was fortunate in having a professor wdio had shown decidedly good judgment in choosing a Domestic Science graduate for a wife. We have a feeling akin to awe when we think of the vast knowledge Mrs. Coyle possessed on the subject of D. S. A ' e were honored b}- her teaching until Miss Smith arrived. Do we like her? Yes, indeed; verv much. Who teaches second } ' ear D. A. Don ' t yuu know that? ' hy, Miss AIcGee, of course. She has a Master ' s degree in the art of making the girls rip and re-sew seams.

The old World chuckled and rublied his nose. Said, Now we ' ll have fresh news I suppose, But scarce had he ended his chuckle low When the Locomotive got notice to go.

That precious gem apart. The one whose graces crystallized. Would melt your iceberg heart. See in her eyes the nebulae That spirals nerves commotion ; See in her glance the solar light That warms the frozen ocean. No difference if her hair be like The ferrous colored flint. Or if it be like white sea-sand. Or carbonaceous glint. No difference if it be the hue Of limonite ' s light yellow ; Or if her e.ves be emerald Or like the opal, mellow. No difference if her eyes be like The hues of skies or brighter, Or whether they be like the floods That flow with silt still lighter. Just so, like every youthful dream. Her brow be alabaster, Her cheeks of hematite like hue. Her lips, — invite disaster. Bask in the warm sun of her smile Like buried fossil flowers. And thus may you pass pleasantly Toward extinction bowers. And when your life ' s long aeon ' s o ' er. And work ' s weathered course is run, May you rest in an astral-zoon age In strata in the sun. 146 147 148 149 q d c=rp r n ' ■ « , ?A ' ' ' ' - .5 l  i | y 150 151 1 g 5 3 pq w o w 1-r O a 152 n BETHMIM iF iF0r5?t-mr-uotB aub mnX iltijnonpttf Down in a remote corner of the garden they grew, so far from the main path and so hidden by the foliage of larger plants that people who came to visit the garden did not even look in their direction. Every morning the forgetme-nots looked up at the blue, blue sky of spring and became a brighter deeper blue than ever forget-me-nots had been. Every evening the mig- nonettes played with the sweet west wind and grew more fragrant and more graceful than ever mignonettes had grown. E ' ery day, and many times a day, the gardener would visit that farthest corner of the garden and tenderly care for the gentle, unassuming flowers. Xever a weed was allowed to show its head above the earth in that section of the garden. The gardener toiled more diligently, more carefully, and more patiently for the forget-me-nots and the sweet mignonette than for any other flowers in the garden. A large garden it was, and marvelous: for the gardener was a noted florist, and people came from far and, near merely for the sake of walking through the picturesque paths and admiring the rare and beautiful plants displayed on every hand. The gardener took delight in showing visitors his garden ; for he loved his plants and was proud of their splendor. But there w as always one corner of the garden where strangers were not taken — one spot that was visited by the gardener alone — and that was the obscure little spot where blossomed the blue forget-me-nots and the sweet mignonette. Often the shy little plants were taunted by their larger, more gorgeous neighbors. Aha! jeered the tall American Beauty roses from their stately height. The gardener is ashamed of you. He never brings anyone to see you. You ' re so common and old-fashioned that no one with good taste would look at you a second time anyway. But the forget-me-nots and sweet mignonette only nodded to each other and smiled, and kept on gazing at the blue sky, drinking in the dew, and breathing the sweet spring air. For, although they knew that thev were little and significant, yet they also knew that the gardener loved them more dearly and cared for them more tenderly than he did for any of their neigh- bors. They were timid little flowers and were glad to be kept hidden from the unappreciative eyes of strangers. It was enough for them that the gard- ener loved them. For his sake they strove day by day to become e -er more beautiful and more perfect. One day more strangers than usual visited the garden, and through the foliage of the larger plants the forget-me-nots and sweet mignonette could hear them walking along the paths and talking together. One word which the shy little blossoms heard repeated again and again was the word Com- mencement. 153 3. BETHMIM m ■ ' You see how worthless you are now, sneered the many-colored orchids proudly. All the rest of us are being chosen for Commencement bouquets, to be sent away for beautiful maidens to wear. Don ' t you wish you were big and handsome like us? Don ' t you wish you were worthy to be sent out into the world where you could be of some use? And for the first time in their lives the delicate forget-me-nots and sweet mignonette were troubled. A great longing filled their hearts and sadly they wondered if it was indeed true that they were not worthy. Could it be that all their striving was in vain ; that they were never to be put to any use as were their neighbors? Still, the gardener had planted them and his ' love for them was sure. So, although they could not understand, the brave little blossoms smiled at each other and were still content. Then, indeed, a wonderful thing happened. After all the strangers had departed, after many rare, magnificent blossoms had been artistically arranged and sent away in many directions to take their part in that mysterious event. Commencement, the gardener himself came to the obscure corner of the garden where bloomed the forget-me-nots and the sweet mignonette. ' But this time he was not alone. By his side walked a maiden, so radiently beautiful that the shy little blossoms almost forgot their timidity and lifted ' up their heads to look at her. ' ith a cry of delight the maiden entered the sacred spot and dropped on her knees among the sweet, modest blossoms. It is the most beautiful spot I have ever seen, she said to the gardener. - nd do you mean that I may help pick them for my Commencement? Yes; let us pick them together, replied the gardener joyfully. ' ery gently, very happily they gathered every one. bunching them together finally into a bouquet so marvelously in its sweet simplicity that the neighboring plants of brilliant hue looked gaudy and unlovely beside them. I have already received many bouquets today for this mv Commence- ment, said the maiden softly to the glad little flowers which she held, but you are more beautiful by far than all the rest. You alone will I wear on my dress tonight. Of all the flowers in this wonderful garden and of all the plants m the whole wide world I love best the forget-me-not and the sweet mio-- nonette. ' ' Then in truth were the faithful little blossoms content. It had been well worth the striving, worth even the taunts and jeers of their neighbors, worth that first disappointment of their seeming uselessness, to find that at last they were in the hands of those who loved, appreciated and understood. Although they had not known why, yet day by day the blue forget-me-nots and the sweet mignonette had done their best, and now they were indeed glad because they were counted worthy. LYREL G.

He now recalled his original mission and jumping up again rushed through the door this time leaving his own key and Mr. Danford ' s behind. . hurried trip to Mr. Dan- ford revealed that there were no more keys.

The folly of which I wish to speak is not one which concerns England. France, Germany or any of the countries engaged in this jjresent titanic struggle. It is not one which concerns our own United States. It is not one which concerns princes or monarchs. governors or statesmen It is one which is of vital interest to every student and friend of Bethany College. The foll of which I s]3eak is the custom of delivering Junior and Senior orations. When we entered this college as Freshmen, filled with a desire to place our names upon the Jjages of history, we were not concerned with this ancient, time-worn and antiquated custom. But as time rolled on we came face to face with this condition and it became a matter o fserious thought. As we think of other colleges within our knowledge, such as Grove City, Allegheny, Hiram and many others of equal standing, at once we are struck with the sig- nificant fact that not one of these places put such a recpiirement u|)on their students. We go to the faculty for enlightenment. Here we learn that the custom was inaugurated here long ago by a very wise man and has been the practice, lo, these many years. As we muse upon the verses of poetry, there comes to our minds the lines of that homely, yet immortal poem, The old oaken bucket, the iron bound bucket, the moss covered bucket that hung in the well. This is a poem deav to our hearts, not because of the splendor of the verse, but because of the simple scenes of childhood which it so quaintly portrays. But because we admire that poem, is that any reason why we of this sanitary age should wish to quench our thirst from this rusty moss covered bucket? No more should we of an intellectual age wish to continue a rusty moss grown custom. As we think of the renowned men — missionaries, ministers, statesmen — who have gone forth from these classic halls to bring prosperity to themselves, joy the world, and honor to Old Bethany, we are told that they, too, followed this custom. , Because - ' ey did so is no reason why we should be victims of the same circumstances. Again, we are told that this custom should be continued because it broadens the minds of the speakers. But this will not bear a close inspection. I speak from experience and as one having authority. A student prepares his oration in one of two ways. ' Either he compiles it from ancient numbers of the Literary Digest, Saturday E ening Post or Mother ' s Magazine, or he writes upon a subject in which he is deeply interested. The first method can- not broaden his mind. The second, and I ' m proud to sa ' , the most common, does not broaden his mind because he speaks upon a subject which, being in- terested, he has previously read and thought deeph-. Therefore he has the same knowledge without delivering the oration. As a last reason, we are told that deli -ering these orations either culti- vates the art of oratory or arouses within the individual a desire for such an art. I wish to ask if you believe being compelled to deliver an oration would arouse within any red-blooded American man or woman a desire for oratory? 161 It will not ; but on the contrary it will arouse a spirit of defiance toward the authorities and an utter abhorence of public speaking. The time has come when this ancient, grey-haired, feeble custom should be placed in its coffin, its useless hands folded upon a once noble breast, and be lowered beneath the sod in the cemetery of time and be allowed to pass out of existence fore -er.

A fishing rod we held in hand, the hooks we cast below, A little fish came to the hook ; poor creature never thought Of danger lying in the bait, that he would soon be caught.

Yes, ma ' am, ' ' chorused the class. Good, said the teacher: and now tell me what animal has the greatest natural fondness for man. A small boy promptly spoke up : ' oman ! — Harper ' s Alagazine. How is this for a novelty in weather reports : It ' s so cold up here we have to build a fire under the cow to keep her from giving ice cream. Prof. Sutton — ' Sir. Martin. . histv snore was the answer. Prof. Sutton in a louder tone — Mr. Martin. Harrv (awakenino) — Esther. When Prexy said : Fifty bucks, boys, or pack your trunks, Duncan ' s expression paralleled that of liowser ' s a couple of seconds after licliad informed Professor Bourne that Carlvle was nuts. Some are on biz just for biz ' s sake; some for reasons more complex; others (judging from their facial expressions on the corridor) biz because they think it ' s their Christian duty. 162 FRIDAY, AI ' RIL 20 1917, 3:30 V.

Biz is a germ found exclusively in the College of Bethany, county of Brooke, state of West Virginia, U. S. A. This germ is so contagious that practically no person has ever attended that historic institution for any length of time without having fallen a victim to it. It driveth the faculty to destruction, it ruincth their eyesight and wrecketh their nerves — yea, it keepeth them awake b}- night, anticipating the dangers into which it may lead its innocent victims. It putteth down class gradeh and causeth many tardy marks. It leadeth voung men and maidens to take much superflous e.xercise upon the corridor. In the icy blasts of winter and the melting heat of summer step they forth. It maketh young men to carry many books beneath their arms. It necessi- tateth much prinking on thee part of the ladies. It increaseth the congrega- tion on Sunday night. It swelleth the coffers of the Y. M. C. . . No remedy has as yet been discovered for this fatal disease, although peppermint life savers are extensively used. Bethany ' s pep may have died some years back. Bethan}- ' s athletics may be in the last stage of consumption, but Bethany ' s biz lives on. May that immortal soon She ' s blushing she blushing on biz.

On biz, on biz, on biz ! echo down the corridors of time and iierish not from the earth — H.B.T It is only natural that a chicken have a chicken heart, but the way that some Bethany co-eds see football a game would queer the deal with Shakes- peare. For instance, expressions like one which was heard when Johnson was jolted in the Muskingum game : Oh ! I just know he ' s killed. She is the girl who goes to the game and worries every minute for fear one of the players will be hurt. The live, animated girl, who almost yells her head off, is alwayi there watching every play. Sometimes .she forgets herself and blurts out : Atta boy atta boy, but no one minds, for her enthusiasm is so infectious. Take Duncan ' s advice, girls, and cut out the sob stuff and get back of the team. A woodpecker sat on a Freshman ' s head. And settled down to drill. He bored away for half a dav. And finallv broke his bill. Prof. W. — If a man ga ' e all his riches to the poor, what would he be? Cain — A poor man.
