VA. FOREWORD THIS BOOK MARKS THE PASSING OF ANOTHER YEAR IN BETHANY ' S HISTORY. IT HAS BEEN THE AIM OF THE EDITORS TO RECALL THE LIFE AND SPIRIT OF 1920-21 AND IN SO DOING ADD ANOTHER VOLUME TO THOSE RECORDS WHICH EVER LOOK FORWARD TO A BETTER BETHANY. propeitj ot MMetic Deji Bethany College CONTENTS DEDICATION ADMINISTRATION CLASSES ATHLETICS ORGANIZATIONS ACTIVITIES FUN TO Mark Mordecai Cochran IN GRATEFUL APPRECIATION FOR THE CONSTANT MANIFESTATION OF HIS DEVOTION TO BETHANY, HIS ALMA MATER, THE SENIOR AND JUNIOR CLASSES DEDICATE THE BETHANIAN OF NINETEEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY-ONE Mark Mordecai Cochran Too often we are prone to give to the institutions which claim rela- tionship with great men, the entire credit for their greatness. However, institutions are man made and Bethany is the great institution she is today because she has been touched by the lives of some great men. Bethany ' s noble ideals have always existed and yet in themselves they are impotent. They must be seen by the souls that can respond and realize their great- ness. Such a man is Mark Mordecai Cochran, one of Bethany ' s noblest sons. As Clark, Lamar, Odell, Oliver and a score of others have striven mightily in the political world and McLean, McGarvey, Power, Hall and Williams have left the stamp of their greatness upon the church; so has M. M. Cochran given to the cause of Christian education the best fruits of a long and successful life, as a token of his great spirit. He has provided Bethany ' s material needs, that she may go on producing great figures in church and state and rendering her humble service to mankind. It has often been said that to Miss Campbellina Pendleton and M. M. Cochran belong the credit for Bethany ' s existence today. These two souls had faith when the stoutest of hearts seemed to have deserted. Mr. Cochran was chosen in 1882, seven years after his graduation from col- lege to take the place on the l oard of Trustees made vacant by the untimely death of James A. Garfield. From that time on he has been a faithful worker. When he was elected, affairs which concerned Bethany College were in a chaotic condition. The endowment had been spent to complete the new building and for general expenses. With painstaking care j L M. Cochran went into the details of Bethany ' s troubles. He decided that she must have endowment. He began the fund with a gift of two thousand dollars which was placed in such a manner that it could never be obtained for any purpose other than that for which it was intended. He urged his friends to give and was continually adding to the fund from his own pocket. The struggle was a long and hard one. i Ir. Cochran gave when he had to borrow to give. Each year Bethany seemed to come closer to his heart and each year it seemed that new difficulties beset the old institution. In the closing years of the last century it seemed that Bethany was doomed. She was unable to pay her professors, her debts continued to increase and her friends lost heart and many of them gave up. Not so Mr. Cochran. Each new difficulty seemed to make him more determined that Bethany should live. He stubbornly refused to allow them to close her doors. She was going to live, and he, Mark Mordecai Cochran was going to see to it that she did liv e. Finall} ' he obtained the right man to manage the affairs of the college. The first years of this century seemed to be little more than a continuation of the old struggle. To those who knew, however, it was evident that improvement was coming. The student body w-as growing, her endowment was increasing and at the end of the first decade of nineteen hundred Bethany was in good condition. She was tided over the period of danger and to the unquenchable courage of IM. M. Cochran belongs the credit. Mr. Cochran was not satisfied with this, however. He had faith in Bethany ' s ideals and tenets. Bethany should grow and spread them. He continued to add to the endowment; he built new equipment and improved living conditions; he did everything in his power to bring Bethany to the fore. The old college thrived and prospered and now she stands where few of like institutions can rival her. We, who are permitted to live in the light of her learning today, can little realize, perhaps the great travail through which she has passed, but nevertheless we experience a feeling of sincere gratefulness toward this man who has made it possible that she should live. Bethany men and Bethany women of future generations will revere the name of Mark IMordecai Cochran. His spirit of meek sincerity, his quiet unpretentiousness, his sincere loyalty, his indomitable courage, his great service and the love and Christian ideals that prompted it, will be come part and parcel of Bethany ' s rich heritage and centuries hence when students read of the early days of Bethany they will associate the names of Campbell and Cochran, the one the founder, the other the savior of Bethany. In M emoriam CHAMP CLARK A. McLEAN Champ Clark From the great mass of American statesmen there emerge a few who stand preeminent as leaders. One of the most statuesque of these prominent men has made his last contribution to this -world as his soul has passed into eternity. Champ Clark stood out in public affairs as a great man because he endeavored to fulfill the principles of his life. He seemed destined from his youth to become an outstanding figure in any of his undertakings. His massive frame gave him the necessary vitality which permitted him to perform the strenuous duties, not onlj ' of an able lawyer, but of a wide-awake and alert politician, statesman and man of religious worth. The principles of his life — loyalty, frankness and fair- ness — were manifested with sincerity in all of his endeavors. The opportunity to serve his country as a Congressman resulted from his adherence and faithfulness to the principles of the Democratic Party. His competence as a law-maker was recognized when he was elected Speaker of the House of Representatives. It is said that he was the most impartial of all the leaders of that legislative body. This honor resulted from the fulfillment of the principles of his life which were illustrated when he remarked: The worst enemies of our race are those who debauch public opinion. In religion Mr. Clark was a devout Christian. He once said: I am a Campbellite and a Democrat, and I expect to die in the faith of both. From these words, one can plainly see that Christianity was not a sham to this man, but that his convictions were rooted deep in the faith itself. One cannot help but admire such a man as Champ Clark for the splendid manner in which he endeavored to perform his obligations to the church. The principles of life expressed in the service of Champ Clark are recognized by all, but what means more to us as students of Bethany College is the pride he maintained in his relationships to his Alma Mater, since he stood so prominently in affairs of national importance. Champ Clark contributed at various times to Bethany ' s welfare. Those contribu- tions however are insignificant when compai-ed to that larger gift to his .Alma i Iater, a life of service to mankind. Archibald McLean Forty-seven years ago Bethany College graduated from her halls Archibald McLean ; on the fifteenth of last December came the sad news of the final and immortal graduation of this former student and president of Bethany College. In his death Bethany lost a loyal and noted alumnus ; the missionaries of the home and foreign fields, a companion and friend ; the world, a great leader and scholarly prophet. It is indeed fitting that the BETIIANIAN should set aside some space for a proper appreciation of the life and work of one who has come to be recognized, intellectually and spiritually as one of the outstanding leaders of the day, who has so lived and died as to cause the halo of his reflected glory to adorn his beloved Alma Alater. One, who, by his long years of service in the cause of missions has done honor to the college that trained him. Yet who is capable to pen a tribute to one so righteous in principle and so noble in living? To a man whose life of prayer and sacrifice earned for him the title of best loved of the disciples. Best loved, because through his daily actions there shone the light of an inner glory; a glory, not of man but of God; the reflection of the ] Iaker in a great and noble soul. His was the glory that comes of conse- cration. ' ell might A. McLean be proclaimed the Apostle Paul of the Twentieth Century. His was a most powerful personality. Pastors and missionaries alike turned to him for guidance; children crept instinctively into his arms; the inhospitable welcomed him; for he was the friend of man, and his were glorified ministrations. Best loved, not merely because of his wonderful personality but loved for his achievements. Thirty-nine years of life devoted to one cause alone, that of foreign missions. To this man belongs the credit of well establishing that great agency for the betterment of man, the foreign missions work of the Disciples of Christ. A ' here once there was darkness, today there is light and the credit is A. McLean ' s. When a friend once asked him why Scotland had erected no monu- ment to John Knox, Mr. McLean smiled and replied: John Knox- needs no monument, Scotland is his monument. Just as truly might it be said of A. McLean that the missionaiy enterprise is his monument. But A. McLean is gone. His great and noble soul has passed away. Yet in the passing of one so saintly and so good, whose life has been spent in so consecrated a manner, there is a reflected glory that drives the shad- ows away. For A. McLean has gone to receive the great reward, and the lesson of his life remains, a great and shining example for those who are left behind. It is beyond the power of human ingenuity to depict accurately the beau- ties of subhnie nature. Those who have visited Bethany and enjoyed the majes- ty and grandeur of her surroundings can be expected to be most appreciative of the following pages.

The Class of 1921 has its journalist. Don has shown an inherent ability to write newspaper stories. He had a little experience before com- ing to Bethany and has had ample opportunity to show his skill while here. He has served as editor of every col- lege publication and Chair- man of the Student Board ot Publications. ELIZA C. EDWARDS, A. B. Broad Ford, Pa. Z T A : A A E Adelphian Literarv Society Dramatic Club; Y. W. C. A.; Collegian (3) (4); Class Sec- retary (4). A very forlorn and home- sick lass was this member of the Class of ' 21. But that was before the Bethany pep got into her blood. She has earned the reputation of being one of the hardest workers in a hard working class. A willing spirit and a cheerful smile are the se- crets of her success. Occa- sionally she bizzes a little. Her active participation in the life here ought to leave her ell fitted for her peda- gogical calling. HELEN DAY, A. B. Brink Haven, Ohio. Z T A. Merry Masquer, Adelphian; Y. W. C.

Tillie gets her de- gree in music and has ambitions to go further in its study. CHARLES V. ELDER, A. B. Millersburg, Ohio. B ( II. Football (1)(2)(3)(4); Baseball (2) ; Y. M. C. A. Here is a man from jMillers- burg who is not continually extolling- the merits of that village. He is an exception in the long list of representa- tives from that worthy Beth- any stronghold. Doc didn ' t come to Bethany with any reputation as a student but before he left these aged halls he proved that this was an oversight on the part of his press agents. In another section of this book you can read of his great achievement on the grid. m ' CHARLES N. GWINN, A. B. Meadow Creek, W. Va. 15 H II. Football (1)(2)(3)(4). Charlie, alias Nip, has proven himself quite a versa- tile chap.

We very neai ' ly monopo- lized a page in giving Sal- ty ' s versatile list of accomp- lishments. Under that seri- ous mien, however, there is a streak of happy-go-lucky hu- mor that adds the finishing- touches to a real character. In addition to his duties here and there, Salty has be- come a confirmed Ijizzite. In spite of such handicaps, however, he stands well up near the head of his class. MARGARET T. McCOLLAM, A. B.

We would like to enumer- ate all of the activities and achievements of this faithful member of Twenty-one but we are not writing books. jMargaret is never too busy to take another task. She is a woi ' ker in every sense of the word and if the Class of ' 21 has achieved anything, you can stake your last dollar that Margaret has been right there with her shoulder to the wheel. DON. R. HERSHBERGER WilkesBaiie, Pa. 2; X. Neoti ' ophian ; Vice-Presi- dent of Class (4). Don claims the Keystone State as his home but came to the i Iountain State for his learning. He has been a faith- ful member of his class, al- ways lending- willing service. He has been known to ven- ture forth in biz, but alas he is of a fickle nature and can- not claim as much progress as some of his class-mates. However, those letters from Wilkes-Barre may explain a whole lot. MARY HELPHREY, A. B. Utica, 0. Z T A: A I ' ]. Adelphian: Y. W. C. A.

Utica, Ohio went up one hundred percent in Bethany ' s estimation when it was dis- covered that Mary came from thei ' e. Mary of the sun- ny smile and happy dis- position ; Mary the hard worker; Mary the Student and Mary the friend. To the casual observer Mary is also quite a bizzite. Well a cas- ual observer couldn ' t go far wrong in that matter. i:U; n.4l MRS. MINNIE HUNTER, A. B. Bethany, W. Va. Faculty Club; .Millersville, (Pa.) State Normal, 1909; Clark University, 1912.

A busy man indeed. Stu- dent Council, Publications, athletics, all claim a share of his attention and all his tasks are well done. Then occasion- ally he tries his hand at pub- lic speeches and again he ex- cells.

Bill has earned five B ' s and he values them highly enough that he never ap- pears on the campus with a soiled one. Bill is one of the real stars of the grid and in- cidently a star in the class room. With all of his busy life he finds time for bizz- ness and they say he has earned another B in that ac- tivity. Adelphian Literarv Soci- ety; Y. W. C. A. (4); Class Secretary (3) ; Delegate to Des Moines Convention (3) ; Literarv Editor Bethanian (4); Student Council (4). This active young miss is a wizard when it comes to making folks feel at home. She brightens things up for the homesick Freshman ; with her cheerful smile it ' s said she often makes things brighter in her entire circle. None are so capable but that she may teach them, none so energetic imd perseveiing but that they can gain some in- spiration from her work. l ' WALTER B. LACOCK, A. B. Cannonsbuig, Pa. B G II; A E.

Twenty-one is a versatile crew. There ' s Walter for in- stance. His hobby is wireless, either telephone or telegraph. He rigs up contraptions whereby we hear music from New York and baseball scores from Arlington. In addition he makes high grades and de- votes at least one-fourth of his time to Biz. Many are the potentialities of such a man. J. ALVA LINVILLE, A. B. Claysville, Pa. B e II. Y. M. C. A. Quiet, unobtrusive Alva with his studious ways and his philosophy.

Quiet and unassuming, Marie has a fund of merry humor which sparkles from her eyes and bubbles over in her laughter. When the day was long and the assignments were hard it was a tonic to go chat a while with j Iarie. Talk about the weather, the professors or other interest- ing subjects, it made no dif- ference, I Iarie has the knack of spreading happiness. She knows the meaning of good- fellowship. EVA M. NEVILLE, A. B. Peoria, III. Z T A A ' ! E Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (2); President (3) ; Honorary President (4) ; Delegate to Nt ' l Y. W. C. A. Convention (4) ; Neotrophian, Secretary (3) ; Merry Masquers. Here is our chief advocate of individuality. She scorns those weaker mortals who are . willing to follow the beaten paths. Individuality is good, but backed by such a charm- ing personality it is a hundred times better. Incidentally, Eva is quite a bizite. jj ii SiZMwiiiiaio - HELEN PORTER, A. B. New Cumbeiland, W. a. Z T A. Merry Masquers. Hail beauteous queen, stately and tall. Helen came back to Bethany after having- spent two years in Mar- garet Morrison at Pittsburgh. Her fellow students paid trib- ute to her beauty and charm when they elected her Queen of the Jubilee Carnival. Helen is quite a bizzy lady for even in this day Queens must have their Kings. JOSEPH REEVES, A. B. Bethany, W. a. A E. Rechabite ; Adelphian ; Y. M. C. A.; Debating Team (3) ( 4 ) ; Merrv Masquers ; Glee Club (2) (3); Mixed Chorus (1)(3). Joe has lately developed into a logician. Always a de- bater, never a book worm and in athletics a diletante, Joe has a happy way of getting through with social and scholarly obligations and adds a towering presence and a very good bass to the Glee Club.

Secretary (2): Merry Masquers. As an actress Ethel shows unusual ability. We thought her best is Queen Bess in the Christmas Play and then when we saw her act the part of the maid in Where But in America we thought her still better. Fact is we don ' t ex- actly know whether she ' s bet- ter as a queen or a maid. We do know, however, that she has unusual talent along that line. They say too that she has a wonderful way of teaching little tots how to read and spell. ROBERT S. TUCK, A. B. Tonawanda, N. Y. K A T K A A E Adelphian, President W. T (3); S. T. (4) ;Y. M. C. A. President (4) ; Ministerial Association, Vice-President (4); Debating Team (3) (4); Collegian Staff (4). Here ' s another of those fellows we could write a book about. But he wearily in- forms us that the A. B. after his name indicates that he has spent four years at Bethany. As a debater he is an unusual figure. Just be- cause Bob ' s a preacher does- n ' t indicate that he is one of the sanctimonious type. He can preach straight from the shoulder with the same ease that he can convince a trio of Judges that the Government should own the coal mines or that Madagascar is a volcano in Texas. iL![ : J m Jill JOHN W. VAN SISE Cuyhoga Falls, Ohio. Boll Football (1)(2); Base- ball (2) (3); Manager Base- ball (3). A real wit is John. His view of life is from the hu- morous side and no matter how dark things look there is always something that causes Jeff to come forward with a suggestion that things are not as dark as they might be. Jeff spent a year or two in France and then was sent into Germany with the Army of Occupation. Even through all this he saw many funny things with which he can en- tertain by the hour. E. LINDSAY BEMIS, A. B. W. Middletown, Pa. K A Tennis (3); BasebaU (2) ; Assistant Business Manager Bethanian (3) ; Y. M. C. A. Pete is one of the campus landmarks. He took his prep work in the old Beth- any Academy and has contin- ued on through his college cai ' eer. He is somewhat of an athlete having been one of the mainstays of Bethany ' s first tennis team. Pete ' s quite a Latin shark and has been known to biz occasionally, but she ' s not in college now so Pete has taken member- ship in the Bachelor ' s Club. --±1 J. ifVffi nS - Ag- jJGinanian SI, Senior Class History The Senior Class of 1921 of Bethany College has spread its fame o ' er all the land; we have truly crowned our goblets high with the hopes of bye and l ye. We are interested in the past only as it helped furnish a guide to the future. ' hat we have accomplished of service, in our four years that are gone, points to greater service out in life. With a backward look we discover that as Juniors we were leaders in most every College activity. From the beginning of the organization of the Student Council the class has realized the importance of Student Government to the student body and has promoted its interests in every way and to further student government the Seniors have taken the initia- tive in rousing interest in the Honor System. But what of this? Alerely this one fact, as we look forward into Bethany ' s future we see a better, greater Bethany and in this Bethany we glimpse the intluence of the class of ' 21. In the changes and improvements which have taken place we trace many of their beginnings back to our four years stay in Bethany. Again as we look for •ard to our own future we see two of our women and three men giving themselves to definite Christian service and the other members of the class planning to teach and occupy important posi- tions in the world ' s work. And just as we see our influence in Bethany ' s future, so we see Bethany ' s imprint in our future — the spirit of Bethany in our lives. The 78th Commencement dawns and Bethany again sees her sons and daughter ' s go forth into the world — prepared for service. )enior )ong We sing of thee, Betliany, And of the White and Green; Whate ' er l)etide, thou ' lt ever be Our hearts beloved queen. The mountams holding thee so still Within their warm embrace ; The halls that crown the college hill- Each memory waking place ; The Buffalo, that laughs to go Past banks of sunlight green, Or dance beneath the ice and snow — We love each tranquil scene. 1 And sing we, too, from hearts true-blue. Of thy best, noblest son ; The class that ' s strong and brave and true, The Class of twenty-one. So soon have passed the few swift yeai ' s That we have spent with thee. And we must say, with tender tears, Farewell, dear Bethany! And proudly we, in years to be, j Iay scale Fame ' s mountain height To plant where all the world may see, The Crimson and the White. ■ 1 lll.- i ir l ,p The Class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-Two Colors Flower Pink and Gray White Rose Motto: Let us, then, be up and doing With a heart for any fate.

MARGARET ANDERSON V ' hen it comes to pep this little lass from the Smoky City is there and g ' oing ' strong. Peg has a smile warm enough to melt the North Pole. Her big ambition in life is to rival Schumann- Heink. ELIZABETH BAKER Everyone from the humblest Fresh- man to the most dignified Senior knows Bake. She has a cheery smile and a happy greeting for all. Bake ' s only failing is her fondness for left-handed people. HAROLD ANDERSON Yes, Andy ' s first name is Harold. The only way we would ever know is an occasional glimpse of his signature on the college books, for to all Bethany folks, he is just Andy. When some- one wants to stage a theatrical per- formance, whether it be tragedy or slapstick, Andy is always chosen for an important part. For he can take the tragic pose of a Hamlet or shuffle like Charlie Chaplin. In spite of all this activity, however, Andy still has time for biz. Bothanian MAUDE BALSINGER Maude is always in a hurry. Seeing this for the first time one could easily imagine a whole yard of A ' s on her re- port card. Don ' t be misled. She is a student but by no means a grind, nor a book-worm. She is quite an athletic miss and enjoys hiking — especially to three falls. Ihese walks are seldom taken alone, however. VINSON H. BIXLER Bix goes quietly about his busi- ness, always accomplishing that which he sets out to do. There is a time for work and a time for play has been his motto since coming to Bethany but within the last few months he has re- vised the last portion so that it reads a time for biz. BRACE B. BOONE Dan annexed another B to his name this year when he won his letter as manager of the eleven. He says he will be satisfied when he gets a fifth B. We presume he means his A. B. Dan comes to us from Florida and he can hardly decide between catching al- ligators and preaching as his life work. -.•X r -■-- •-- ' Beth DONALD H. BROMLEY Don is a man with a great career, both behind him and before him. Any time after eleven o ' clock P. M. you may hear the warbling of his melodious voice. He is especially popular among the fair sex and our only advice to him is that if he must go into the lumber business to steer clear of rolling-pin stock. MRS. CLIFFORD BUCY Where else can be found such a com- bination of industry and persevering determination ? Mrs. Bucy is one whose ability is marked by indomitable pur- pose; she knows not defeat. We never find her on the loafer ' s bench or the gossiper ' s corner. She improves each shining moment and prepares her les- sons day by day. CLIFFORD BUCY Cliff is a big man. He also has a big voice with a hearty tone which spreads cheer. We love to hear him rumble forth on the deep bass in the choir. Incidently he has a heart in pro- portion to his frame and his voice. He always has time to do the little favors asked of him and no one has more friends than has he. ETHEL BURDETTE Ethel is indeed a talented young- lady. She is accomplished in both instru- mental and vocal music. She has been neglecting music of late, however, for more important things occupy her at- tention. Biz cannot be considered lightly. GRACE CAMPBELL In this fair lass from Illinois we have a splendid student and a faithful and loyal worker. She is a member of that high and mighty body, The Student Council. Not all of her time is spent in work, however, for she gives a gen- erous portion of the hours to biz. FLOYD CARLISLE Lefty came to us in his Sophomore year and has been a booster ever since. He has taken active part in all student activities, athletics, social and business. One of the most noticeable things about him is his cheerful disposition. As his life ' s calling. Lefty has chosen the Bizness of Baker. rn laib ! MARVIN COOPER Who said nobody loves a fat man ? If you will notice the smiles and cheery greeting ' s evoked by the presence of Coop you will understand why, in Bethany, everybody loves a fat man. Cooper is quite a weather prophet and either assures good weather or rain for any big day. His predictions seldom go amiss. He has chosen pedagogy for his life woi ' k and already has much ex- perience. MIRIAM DARBYSHIRE Here is a young lady that is all lousi- ness and bizness. When Miriam heads anything it goes through for she just puts herself behind it and though she is not very large physically, she makes things travel. Miriam is quite a biz- ite and also quite a student. RUSSELL COX Like all people with red hair, Rus- sell has pep. He does not have com- bined with it, however, that common trait of the brick-top, an unruly tem- per. Coxy is the possessor of a pair of twinkling blue eyes from which shines forth the good humor that char- acterizes their owner. The man that makes Coxey flare up has to travel some. But Oh, Boy! when he once gets riled! KATHERINE DORSEY Katherine of the contagious laugh and the winning ways. She is quite a busy young lady in college affairs. Es- pecially does she excell in domestic art. When there is a party or social, Kather- ine is always Johnny-on-the-spot with suggestions for good things to eat. W. R. ELLIS Another of our preachers. Ellis has a regular pastorate and, in addition, carries his classes, dispenses know- ledge wholesale at the bookstore and takes great interest in literary work. Ellis, you can see, is no idle pei ' son. His kindly courtesy and quiet unassuming manner have won him a place in the heart of all his fellow students. LOTTIE GRIFFITH Kind and good-natured at all times, helping the tired and encouraging the down-hearted or discouraged one, working for others, unmindful of self Lottie reminds us of that allusion : He who would be great must be the servant of all. nian KATE HURT Kate is not one who lets her plans for a thing interfere with their com- pletion. While most of us are still talk- ing of what is to be done and how it ought to be done ; lo and behold, Kate has done it. At preparing a lesson, an appetizing meal or entertaining picnic; in fact anything at all, Kate is the same example of efliciency. And did you ever notice those eyes? One young gentle- man has expressed it when he said, they are wonderful. HELEN HAGEDORN Helen is our student. It may take the hard work and the midnight oil to get all of those A ' s but Helen seems to think it ' s worth it. Hard work does not make her a grouch, however, as she is a pleasant, good-natured lass with a cheeriness that makes her a favorite. MARY HURT Mary is Kate ' s twin sister, yet they are not very much alike in either ap- pearance or disposition. Do not take from that that i Iary has any bad traits. It ' s not true. She is just not inclined as much to businesslike efficiency. She spends a great deal of her time in pla — especially playing the piano. i Iary is always ready to go anywhere and we ' re always glad to have her because she is such jolly good company. ALFRED HYATT This young g ' entleman is better known by just Ham. Everybody knows him and everybody likes him. He will do most anything one asks of him in the way of a favor and seems to be doing himself a great honor in doing it. In work, Ham finds pleas- ure. He is steady and good-natured, jolly and sympathetic and has a count- less number of friends. GRACE KAGARISE Gi ' ace hails from the Keystone State. Capable should be her middle name, since she is equal to any task which she may be called upon to perform. She is also an excellent basketball player. OLIVE MURPHY Those who do not know this attrac- tive young Irish miss often accuse her of being painfully dignified, unsympa- thetic, unconcerned and at times sar- castic. Those who know, however, claim that she is a peppy and studious college lass. Her two weaknesses are a craving for coffee and a liking for buds. QTb LAWTON MARSH IMarsh is our class president. His middle initial is and stands for ' ork. He sings tenor in the Glee Club and plays football and basketball. Marsh has a ready smile and a way of creating- fun that makes him popular wherever he .eoes. CAMERON MEACHAM Here come I, Beelzebub, Under my arm I carry a club, Under my chin I carry a pan Don ' t I look like a nice young man ? MANUEL NAVARRO This Argentinan with his sunny smile and his sunnier disposition has won the friendship of all his fellow stu- dents. He has decided to be a veterin- arian, but is working- for his B. S. in Agriculture, and is a familiar figure about the college farm. -t- :2 0 HARRY RANDOLPH This In-awny athlete hails from Dick- erson Run, Pa., whence he came with a great reputation as an athlete and a student. Since he has been in Bethany he has lived up faithfully to his repu- tation and has been busy making B ' s in football, basketball, baseball, biz and studies. Among the latter, how- ever, he often obtains an A or so to bring up his quality points. MRS. S. O. REDACRE Mrs. Redacre is termed Ma- tron. That is not because of the num- ber of years that she bears upon her shoulders, however, but because she is house mother at the Alpha Xi domi- cile. Mrs. Redacre is an excellent stu- dent and the girls term her a good sport. ERNEST REINHOLD Up Oakmont way, n old P-A., When I think of it, it seems. That his father runs a chocolate shop. You tell ' em, Doc, I scream. Ionian CLARENCE GOETTLING Get hails from Follansbee and rings as true as the steel for which that city has become famous. Get is a hard and consistent worker and never leaves a task until it is finished. He is a sincere and earnest friend and makes an ideal chum. Get ' s favorite song- is Alice Blue Gown. AUDREY SPRINGER In spite of the fact that she is major- ing in biz, Audrey has time for col- lege activities and even for studies. Her special hobljy is neck-cracking, more politely termed osteopathy. ELTON SCHWINGER This young man has chosen the min- istry for his life work and is obtaining some real experience by putting into practice the doctrines and methods learned in the class room. His faith- ful Lizzie carries him to and fro from his charge and many are the tales he tells of the wild rides over muddy Pennsylvania roads. We have to stretch our imaginations to get some of them but then Schwinger has always been honest and we can ' t doubt his word. Ok a: JENNIE STEINDORF Quiet and unassuming ' , Jennie goes about her work with tiie air of an ex- pert. She instructs in art and is always ready to lend willing- aid in anything that requires a good poster or a neat sketch. The pages of this book give ample testimony as to her skill. FRED STEWART Everyone knows Fred a.s an athlete. Those who have classes with him I ' ealize that he is also somewhat of a student. Fred has a pleasant smile that just nat- urally chases gloom off the earth. Tie never pets the least bit ruffled and his even temper seldom boils over. He has a host of friends on the campus. ELV OOD STiiOBEL Someone has characterized George as the most willing chap in Bethany. They didn ' t go far wrong. He just has a way of getting things done. He seldom drops below a B in his work though he doesn ' t claim to be a student. Occa- sionally he throws in an A just to show folks that he can. ' ihaniaw PAUL B. SUTTON ' ' ' ' Sutty, alias Baldy, is one of tlie industrious business men of the college. He has his hands in athletics, publica- tions and Student Council. Paul also has some bizness affairs of his own and almost any evening- can be seen wending his way to the Alpha Xi House find a ray of sunshine. HORATIO PEASE A most versatile fellow is Horatio. He can play the violin, sing, preach, de- bate or play basketball. Occasionally he has been known to biz. We may depend upon Horatio to carry his full quota of the college activities. SUE WACHTEL Everyone knows Sue. She is one of the busiest and biziest girls in college but if you need her help she ' ll never refuse a favor. Her great failing is her liking for the opposite sex, especi- ally those of scarlet locks. MARGARET WATSON This precise and dignified maiden hails from the mountains of western Pennsylvania. Officially the inhabitants of her town are known as The Frosty Sons of Thunder. Margaret doesn ' t live up to that name, however, for she has a warm greeting and certainly she in no wise resembles thunder. She is an excellent student and an earnest worker in all her undertakings. ALBERT WILLIAMS Oh, he ' s little, but he ' s wise. He ' s a terror for his size. What words are more expressive of this sorrel-topped demon, Red Wil- liams. As the author of Under The Tower, he drops us an occasional rap, but in spite of that, he has gained a real place in the affections of all. And as for his wit, he is truly Bethany ' s Court Jester. CAMPBELL WATSON The first man to see Dr. Goodnight when he returns from a trip is Cam. He doesn ' t leave the President ' s office until he has had an interview, for when it come to getting news for the Collegian, Cam is the most per- sistent man you ever met. When he asks you to write an article for a col- lege publication you just can ' t refuse that winning smile and persuasive voice. That ' s the reason Cam is so successful. ' ' GUlO-Th SIMON R. SMITH Old Hard Luck Si has a great time in this Kfe. When Si has a lucl y day, however, he is real lucky. But nine chances out of ten if he hits a ball to middle field the fielder is playniii ' .lust deep enough to catch it; if the forward pass had just been a fraction of an inch to the right or left it would have been in Si ' s hands. With Ibe ladies, how- ever, it ' s different. Theie goes a say- ing like this: If a young lady once looks into those dreamy eves — she ' s Si ' s. BERIGNO BERUIALES Birdy halls from far-ofl[ Cuba. That ' s why all the boys want to accom- pany him this coming vacation. Birdy ' s chief indoor sport is sleep- ing in. It is said that he possesses much of the W. B. W. stock by virtue of being its main patron. FINIS DUNN Hello, Buck! Everyone knows Buck. His name indicates quit. To one who has seen him perform on the gi-idiron, however, it means fight till the other fellow quits. Buck has been chosen to lead the Green and Miite to victory on the gridiron in 1921. He is big of heart as well as frame and is the possessor of a good- natured laugh that is very contagious. O C 35 ' RUBY ELSAM Ruby came to us this year from In- dia, where her father and mother are missionaries. In the short time that she has been in Bethany she has proven lier woi ' th. Her exceptional abilities her willing-ness and her far-sightedness have won the confidence of her fellow students. Especially do they seek her hen they want a siviker. Iler subtle humor, pleasing accent, and poetic power, insure the success of any pro- WILLIAM .JOHNSON Johnson is another who departed from Bethany after spending a year with us and then returning, having found no place any better. He has added a great deal of strength to the 1921 baseball squad and has earned the name of Home-Run Johnson. l f History of Nineteen Twenty-Two And now we ' ve passed throu.u ' h all these trials nobly. This line of our colleg ' e song applies in many respects to the Junior Class, for we have had many trials. The first was in the form of the S. A. T. C. in our Freshman year. We were hindered by the army in the college and perhaps it took us longer to assim.ilate some of the important spirit of college life. But we have survived the trials and they are past; we have at last gotten oui- full quota of that spii ' it which marks the Bethany man and woman and we are filling our place to the best of our ability. We are now entering our third year with forty-eight of our original roll. From all indications the Class of Twenty-Two should be a record breaker in the number graduated. We have not been ungrateful recipients of all of the good things offered us by our college life. We have contributed to every phase. Our athletes are among the best that Bethany has ever turned out; our journalists are boosting Bethany publications to better things; our dramatists, singers and debaters are each giving the best of their abilities to raise the standards of their respective fields. It is difficult to write a histo] ' y of such a body as ours. It must be toid as a pjut of the great history of Bethany and only in years hence when the men and women of Twenty-Two have become famous can we fully appreciate her worth. unior oem Hail! to the class which in triumph advances, Rulers in peace time and conquerors in war; Glory her fair name already enhances — Let her praises be sung from now evermore. Genius g ' leams out of our ranks ever steady, Love, Honor and Truth make our motto I ' ing- true. No foe ever daunts our strong shield of wisdom. And honors we ' ve won are gained by but few. Our ' enus de I lilo and Helens of Troy Bequeath us a name for marvelous beauty ; Our athletes all, the first place enjoy. And stand firm ever ready for duty. In society ' s realm we I ' ank with the highest. In studies our class, ever loyal, leads the ivay. In Bethany ' s halls our lamp shines the brightest, And cove] ' s with glory, the Pink and the Gray. On field or in class-room, at work or at play. Our ranks win for Bethany, honors anew. And you ' ll search through the world for many a day To find a class like our own ' 22. A. R. W. ' 22. The Class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-Three Flower: The V ' ayside Thistle.

Officers President Wayne Mason Vice President Denton McCormick Secretary Frances Underwood Treasurer Grace Lee Faculty Advisor Professor Homer Carney Members of the Student Council Wayne Mason Anna Carr Ligon Frank Helme OQinoninri History of Nineteen Twenty- Three There is a great book known as the History of Bethany, on whose time-yellowed pages are recorded the happenings of the days gone by, bringing- from the haze distant memories of those who have passed from the portals of these noble halls. Stern old chroniclers have written of the deeds that time has in a measure censored to such an extent that they are presentable as examples to inspire the students of the future to excell all glory of the past. ' e have but reached the second year of our life and can be expected to add but little of interest at the present time to that host of records. However we can tell of our achievement and that with- out boasting-; a matter of mere record as it were, of the two years of the Class of Nineteen and Twenty-Three. In numbers the class is one of the largest that ever enrolled in the college. In the second year a greater percentage of ' 23 returned than ever of any preceding class. But we do not boast of superiority in numbers as our only claim to distinction. We have our representatives in all branches of College activity. Football, baseball, basketball, track, debate, publications, in fact everywhere our class has shown itself to be awake and doing. We have striven, not foi the honor of the individual, but to make our contribution as a class to the Better Bethany. We have directed the wavering- footsteps of the Freshmen with a competency here-to-fore unknown. We provided them with a head-dress that blended especially well with our verdant campus. The Freshmen boys were our unwilling guests at an all-nocturnal stag party, held in a deserted house a few miles from town, on the eve of the flag rush. The expenses of the party were easily cared for by selling the Fresh sandwiches. We further delegated the yearlings to a secondary place by winning the annual class scrap and the Soph-Fresh football game. We have accomplished many other things, but because of our mod- esty we relate no more. D. Mc. C. x i: Sophomore Class Roll SAMUEL ALLEN ..Bellevue, Pa. Who pepper ' d the highest was sure to please.

Who but the Soph.? Thursday of the first week, we had a treat, Sophs, sent a notice, for us to meet. Til inking- they were handing out some rules, F ut, treated us worse than in most schools. When locked in the Fi-ench room, ' lound us did dance. Our noble classmen saved us from the prance. On September twenty-eighth, this year, Organized the class we hold so dear, ' Lected officers, chose colors too. Now black and gold is our emblem true. A day of bliss for some of the girls, ' hen five pig-tails displaced our curls. Ate with our left hands; courtsied just so; Caii ' ied umbrellas — needed or no. The night before the Soph ' mores so gay Had carried our Freshmen miles away. At eight that morning, girls so brave. Shouldered our muskets, class-mates to save. Our boys undaunted, came on the dot. The fight for fame, heroicallv fought. We lost the I ' ush, as everyone knows. So hopes of a party, then did close. But moral vict ' ry in football gained, Though Sophs., they, in supremacy reigned. Our varsity stars displayed such speed. That Beth ' ny ' s athletics took the lead. In basketball too, took foremost part. It required our boys to show the art. Our gii ' ls with the Sophs., played but one game; But just ask, on top, came out whose name? Now let us tell how much we like you, Since our number next year lacks a few; The rest will return, resume the work; Our duties well done — never to shirk. To strive to come out better next time. With a fond adieu, I end this rhyme. H. T. D. ' 24. The College And now we leave these venerated halls Where oft ' the echoes answered to our tread — Our task is done, and duty stei ' nly calls To fields of labor stretching on ahead. And as we journey on our homeward ways, We carry back the lessons dearly gained By toilsome work by which shall be attained Our Cherished goals far — bathed in distant haze. ' ith thoughts such as this, their poem written by Karl B. Lutz, ex- presses the class of 1920 entered upon their Commencement. Junior — Senior Reception May 7 — May 7th was one of the first of the great days in these last days of the Seniors seniority. On the evening of this day the Juniors held a Reception in honor of their superior classmen. The Faculty, the Seniors and the Juniors gathered in the social room of the Library, and really the affair was not quite so dignified as the personell of the group would imply. Commencement June 12th — The Facult ' and graduates marched in academic parade from the Heights to the Bethany Memorial Church for the Baccalaureate service. President Goodnight delivered a very inspiring address to the class. Since this was the first occaion upon which our new President ap- peared before Bethany ' s friends in his academic costume, it was a memor- able day for all Bethanians. In the evening of the same day, June 12th, Rev. Clyde Darsie, of Mt. Sterling, Ky., delivered the annual sei ' mon. The Tempest — The Annual Campus Day was presented on June 14th, when the Alerry Masquers dramatized Shakespeare ' s Tempest. The weather, the natural amphitheatre and the enthusiasm of the players all combined to make the play a great success. Yokohoma Maid — The Choral Society of The College made its debut before Commencement visitors on Tuesday night, June 15th, when it pre- sented the Musical Comedy, Yokohoma Maid. The operetta showing the conquest of the West over the East was presented in a pleasing way and added much to the success of the 1920 Commencement. June 16th — June 16th was the date of two important events of the Commencement week program — the Ivy Planting and the President ' s re- ception. fc-h QPAQTh The Annual Ivy Planting- took place on the College Campus early in the afternoon of Wednesday, June 16th, at which time the Seniors in word and symbol entrusted to the Class of 1921, the traditions of Bethany. Standing in a semi-circle about a branch of ivy to be planted, Beatrice Perry, class historian, gave a brief history of the Class about to be grad- uated; Harold Beatty delivered the Ivy Oration, and Lewis Perry, the Class President, after making an impressive speech of farewell, handed over to Walter Lacock, President of the Junior Class, the cap and gown, the symbols of seniority. The event of the day, the planting of the ivy, followed and the Ceremony closed with the singing of Alma Mater. The President ' s Reception, which followed the Ivy Planting, deserves particular notice since it was the first one given since Dr. Cloyd Goodnight became our chief executive. Students, faculty, and friends visited the Heights and enjoyed the hospitality and fellowship which the Goodnight ' s extended to all their guests. Commencement Day — Conmiencement Day, that day which signifies so much to young men and women about to enter the world as graduates, came June 17th. As the College clock tolled the hour of ten, the Faculty in full academic costume followed by the thirty-five graduates clad in cap and gown, marched from the Pleights, around the Campus and into the Chapel. Slowly they filed into the Chapel to the strains of soft music. The salutatory given by Sallie Clairborne PJubank, and the validictory, delivered by Karl B. Lutz, began the Commencement exercises. Following these, Prof. E. W. iMcDiarmid, of Fort ' orth, Texas, delivered a scholarly and in- spiring address to the Class on Making the Universe Friendlier. Then came the conferring of degrees and the presentation of diplomas. THE COLLEGE YEAR May Day — The greatest spring event, aside from Commencement, is the May Day Festivity. By the action of the Student Council, the second Thursday of May has been made a College holiday. j Iay 13th, 1920, was the first of these days of College fun, and the hours were ci ' owded with events. In the morning the students conducted a j Iock Chapel, and so cleverly did they imitate the members of our Faculty that the professors had a chance to see themselves as others saw them. The Campus had donned its spring garb in honor of the Queen of May. Little flower girls tripped across the grass leading Queen Sue and her at- tendant. At the throne the Queen was crowned by the Maid of Honor, Princess Sallie. Girls in white with garlands about their heads, danced the May-Pole dance, thus closing the coronation ceremony. The Merry Makers then followed their guides to the Buffalo, to watch the tug-o ' -war betv. ' een the Sophomores and Freshmen. The younger boys proved the stronger, and had the pleasure of giving their opponents a rather damp defeat. Because of the rain the Campus picnic had to be turned into a corridor Cafateria. The Students and the Faculty entered heartily into the affair and the six o ' clock supper was a decided success. The rain, too, altered the plans for the evening. Instead of a bon-fire on the Athletic Field, the fire in the large open fire-place in the Social Room of the Library proved a place to toast the hundreds of marshmel- lows ; instead of a snake dance, we had yells and songs before the students departed from this last event of the first Bethany May Day. Y. VV. C. A. Reception — Sept. 23, 1920 — Following close upon Ma- triculation Day came the first Social event of the Fall Term. In the after- noon of September 23rd. the Y. W. C. A. gave an informal reception to wel- come the new girls into the student life. Formalities were dispensed with, and each girl added many names to her list of fi-iends. Y. M. C. A. Hot Dog Social — The men wei ' e not to be out-done by their college sisters. In the evening of the same day, September 23rd, the Y. M. C. A. entertained the new men. This stag social was also very informal since it was not unlike the Old Fashioned weiner roast. Opening Social — The traditional opening social was held in the Social Room of the Library, Friday evening, September 24th. The function was n similar to the previous opening- socials, in that the Magic Circle was used to mix ' the crowd. But the Committee had arranged some ice breakers, and the event as a whole, was very successful. P ' ' ootbalI Season — In another section of the Bethanian, Athletics will be given its due notice, but here it should be mentioned as it proved a series of events that added greatly to Bethany ' s social life and spirit. The game with W. J. September 2-5th, opened the season and the game with Georgetown, December 5th, closed the greatest football year Bethany has ever had. Flag Rush — The night before the rush, the Sophomore, fearing the strength of Tiny Tots, tried to imprison the Freshman in a deserted farm, two or three miles out from Bethany. But the prisoners were too much for the captors and were on the field at 10:20, the time set for the rush. Of course, the Sophs won over the disorganized Freshmen, but they had an exceedingly hard time preventing t ' leir opponents fruin se- curing the Sophomore Purple and White Hag, tied to the top of tlie poii. The class spirit ran so high that some Freshmen Girls even tried to aid their classmen in the hand to hand tustle. October 26th, Football Celebration — The team ' s victory over Detroit University on October 23rd, was considered great enough to de(;lare a holiday. In very quick order, a committee arranged a great celebration. A student parade was the feature of the afteinoon. Each class tried to out-do the other in costumes and stunts. Automobiles, lavishly decorated with Gi ' een and White, carried the team; a float for the football; the band; the Seni ors garbed in white and the Juniors and Sophomores with their colors and the Freshmen with their donkey cart, and freshmen Baby briefly describes the procession. The parado formed on the Ath- letic Field and marched around the Campus, through the village and back to the Corridor, where the students made the main l uilding ring with yells and songs. A mass meeting with speeches from members of the team and the coach, and with songs, yells, and eats, was held in the evening, and thus closed the first celebration of the Victory of the 1920 team. Hallowe ' en Part} ' — The Y. W. C. A. supervised a Hallowe ' en Party, given October 28th. Games and amusements suitable to the Hallowe ' en season were enjoyed by those pi-esent. The tubs for apple bobbing were constantly surrounded; the abihty of the Gypsy fortune tellers were great- ly praised and the students and faculty entirely forgot their dignity in enjoyment of these Hallowe ' en stunts. Y. W. C. A. Candle-lJght Service — One of the prettiest affairs of the Y. W. C. A. year is the Candle-Light Service. On November 14th, this service was held in the Library, when sixty girls duly became members of the association. To the strains of soft music the Cabinet Girls marched on the platform. Mrs. E. P. ise gave a talk on the ' ell-rounded Christian Girl. Then as music was again played, the members passed in front of the Cabinet, lighted their candles from the flame of the burning candles of the Cabinet, and marched back into the center of the room, ' hen the procession had ended, there had been foi ' med a triangle with the Cab- inet forming the base, and the other girls the other two sides. The meet- ing was closed with the Y. W. C. A. benediction. Armistice Day — The Student Council co-operated with the College Post of the Amei ' ican Legion, planned Chapel exercises fitting for No- vember 11th, commemorating the signing of the Armistice. After devota- tions, led by Chaplin of the Post, Fred W. Heifer, youngest Chaplin in the A. E. F., George Kidder sang sevei ' al popular war songs. Mr. W. B. Taylor then gave an address recalling the ideals of the war, and urging young Americans to hold fast to those ideals. Fall Homecoming — The Bethany Fall Home-Coming was held in Wheeling, Saturday, November 13th. The football Victory over Carnegie Tech in the afternoon filled every Bethanian with pride. And when in the evening, they all came to the Christian Church for the Banquet, it was in- deed a Great gathering. John Marshall acted as toastmaster, and with Captain Hughes, Coach Buland, President Goodnight, William Turner and other prominent Alumni responding to toasts, the Home-Coming was a suc- cess in arousing interest in Bethany ' life and future. Football Celebration No. 2 — November 16th — A celebration, similar to the one held after the Detroit game, but much more extensive, was held on Tuesday, November 16th, to appropriately celebrate the Victory over Carnegie Tech. Special Chapel, Hot Dogs, served on the corridor by the ' ' CyAo Bo i Q n i ' aih Senior girls, class stunts and a big- social in the evening briefly tells the story of the days happenings. A part of this second football celebration did not come until a week later, Tuesday, November 23rd, when the faculty and students planned an evening of appreciation for the splendid work of the team during the season. The seven-act vaudeville, which the talented students put on, would have done credit to Keith or any other circuit. At the close of this Show, ' each man on the Varsity and second teams was given a box of candy, made by the girls of the student body. The program was con- jj eluded by the crowning of the Athletics. This ceremony was carried out ;t with pretty symbolism. A girl in flowing white robes, accompanied by figures representing the religious and literary activities, all crowned witli Green and White, placed a similar crown upon the head of Athletics. Carnival — Biggest Affair of Kind Held in Bethany, was the verdict of the old inhabitants and Alumni, and there seems no dissenting voice in the concensus of opinion. And big it was. The whole Chapel was cleared and a pink lemonade booth set up at the far end, a long Publication booth on one side, a Green and White Souvineer counter dispensed balloons, whistles, caps and favors, and witches held sway in a dark tent in one corner. Neotrophia yielded her sacred hall to the need of a variety show, and Adelphia shrank from witnessing the rough usage of her platform by the wardens of a very profital)le jail, in which all disorderly mortals were placed, until able to pay a suital)le money forfeit. Hot weiners did a rushing trade. On the other side let us look in the Philosophy room. Why it did not know itself with its gi ' eat red and white candy booth, and piles of boxes of home made candy. The Japanese tea room was a dainty crea- tion of artistic skill, and the tired Cai ' nivalite could sit down to a hot lunch or cold, and drink in the soft lights and blent-colors of the quiet nook in Japan. Of course no Carnival is a success without a Carnival King and [ Queen. The grace with which Miss Helen Porter reigned over this festivity [ might well have been spoken of at the first, but our literary taste com- pelled us to keep this until the last. Seated beside the Carnival King, Fred Helfei ' , she watched with becoming interest, the performers as they came forward to please her with music and dance. And then she stood and spoke the word. Clapping, cheering, clouds of confetti, music and jest, broke forth and kept itself going pretty steadily until the wee small hours of the morning. To say the Carnival was a success is putting it mildh-. The whole two days of Jubilee were equallv successful, and for numerical results, we will add $900.00 to the Athletic fund. Tri-State Ba.sketball Toui ' iiament — In accordance with our new Ath- letic Program, Bethany held a high school tournament in the Irvin Gym- nasium, March 11th and 12th. High schools from sixteen surrounding towns of the tri-state district sent theii- teams and cheering sections to compete for honors. The spirit and rivalry among the delegations added materially in making the event successful. On Saturday night, at the -- N close of the last game, President Goodnight presented to the Linsly M. I., the winning team of the tournament, a large silver loving cup; Warwood, the runners-up, was presented with a similar cup — the gift of Coach Bu- land — and Wellsburg high was given a lai ' ge Bethany Banner for having the best cheering delegation. The tournament was a wonderful success and promises well for future events which will be held annually. Bethany Lyceum Course — Bethany enjoyed an unusually good lyceum course this year. Under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., and with Fred Heifer as chairman of the committee, four numbers were secured through the Coits Lyceum Company. The course was such a decided success that an extra number was secured. The schedule was as follows: Oct. 22 — Freeman-Hammond Company. Dec. 3 — Viccoci Musical Company. Jan. 3 — Tomilson, Lecturer. Mar. 11 — Dr. George Alden, Lecturer. Apr. 12 — Miss Roselth Knapp Breed, Humorous entertainer. - Apr. 13 — Francesha Kasper Lawson, Soprano. Poverty Social — One of the most successful of the mid-winter Col- lege social events was the Poverty Social held in the Library, February 5th. The committee in chai ' ge had so arranged that everything carried out the name of the social, and in appearance and actions the students and faculty indeed gave the impression of very very poor people. Miss Anna Carr Ligon, who impersonated a Black Mammy, was awarded the prize for being the most appropriately dressed person, and several times during the evening she furnished amusement for the gathering by danc- ing the clog. The refreshments which were served at the close of the program, were better than expected from such a poverty-stricken group. Million Dollar Jubilee — February 18-19 February 18th — Sam Average and Where but in America. The Million Dollar Jubilee, so-called because it mai ' ked the passing of the $1,000,000 mark in the College Endowment Fund, opened by the pre- sentation of two plays acted by the students. The one act comedy, Where But in America, was interpretated by Miss Ethel Spray, Sarah Cannon and Paul Shafer. Sam Average, a silhouette, closed the entertainment sending the audience away in a thoughtful mood. Miss Miriam Darbyshire, Milton Hanna, Russell Cox and Harold Anderson made up the cast. ; J Kg The Alumni Athletic Committee W. D. Turner Edwin Wells George Hettler L. D. Mercer Robert Brooks W. S.

MILLER Athletic Director Carl V. Miller is Bethany ' s first Ath- letic Director. The Alumni Committee chose Miller in the spring of 1920 to pilot Bethany ' s enlarged athletic pro- gj-ain. He has had marked success with the undertaking and has brought Beth- any to the fi ' ont in all branches of ath- letics. jMiller is a graduate of W. Va. Wes- leyan, where he took part in all athletics during his four years in college. He is well known in athletic circles of the Tri- State district and has proved himself not only a good Athletic Director but a good coach, especially in baseball. HARRY M. BULAND Head Coach Much of the success of any undertak- ing depends upon the hand that guides the wheel. Buland came to Bethany with a record as a coach ; he has proved that his abilities were all that were claimed foi ' him. Buland may perhaps be called a driver. The man who loafs on the lloor or field has no sympathy from him. His success lies in his ability to make the teams work. It is said that he eats, drinks, thinks, lives and dreams athlet- ics. Buland coached at Jacksonville, 111.; Jamestown, N. D. ; Parkersburg, W. Va. ; and Cleary College (Mich.) before coming to Bethany. OLIVER W. HUGHES Captain Captain Denny hung up an enviable record as leader of the 1920 eleven. Denny began the game at guard position. Before the middle of the season he v ' as called upon to fill the center position. To say that he played a great game is to only half state the case. The center position is not advantageous for one who desires to hang up scoring records. Den- ny however led the team with 47 points. He scored the first and last touchdowns of the season and kicked all of of the goals except the one from the last touchdown. Pootball critics, who saw him perform in the Carnegie Tech and Detroit games, hailed him as one of the greatest centers in the game. He was under every play and fighting till the last whistle. Den- ny ' s pep and experience will be sadly missed next year. Denny was All-State center this year. FINIS W. DUNN Captain-Elect The captain of the 1921 squad was indeed a wise choice. Buck has had more experience than any man on next year ' s team and should prove an eflicient leader. He has always been a hard player, full of spirit and life and fight. Buck has played three years on the Bethany eleven and his last season was better than any of those previous. He should be still better next year and will undoubtedly prove a strong leader. :!r=r Q I nan law C. V. ELDER Ex-Captain Doc played his first year of football in Bethany back in 1915. He served as captain of the 1917 squad and was called into the service of Uncle Sam during .that season. He decided to complete the few remaining hours necessary for his degree and returned last fall. Much has been said of Doc; much more can be said but to every Bethany supporter who has seen him in action, words do not tell of his work. To see him charge and tear through the opposing team is a fond memory in the heart of every Bethany fan; for Doc is through with football. He completed the re- quired work for his degree at Christmas time. Doc was All-State in 1916. WILLIAM T. LATTO Ex-Captain Bill played his first year in 1917. He was elected to lead the 1918 squad. The S. A. T. C. however ruined the plans for a team that year and he was selected to lead the 1919 team. Bill played guard and was switched to half-back on defense because of his ability in running back punts. He bettered his record of 1917 by playing every minute of every game last year. In the former season he played all but ten minutes of the entire playing time. He is another experienced player whose abilities are sure to be missed. Bill was All-State guard in 1917. He graduates this June. CHARLES N. GWINN The worth of a four-year man is hard to estimate. Charlie came to Bethany with Chambers in 1917 and has played on the varsity ever since. Charlie could always be depended upon to put up some game. Injuries hindeied him quite often but his knowledge of football, his ability to get under the plays, his great bulk and bull-dog tenacKy made the supporters of the team feel easier when he v as in the game. ' e can remember the great game he put up against Pitt in 1917 when he was pitted against the great Siedel the right paw of the Panther; or the way in which he stopped the much touted ' eirman in Mieeling last fall. Charlie graduates this June. HARRY F. RANDOLPH Here is a fellow that should be a bear -cat in 1921. Harry came to Bethany in ' 18 but did not play any football that year on account of the S. A. T. C. A marked improve- ment has characterized his work. With his two years of experience much can be expected of him in the coming- season. LAWTON W. MARSH j Iarsh substituted at center on the 1920 squad. He has a great task before him in 1921 when he will be given a chance to fill the bei ' th regularly. Marsh ' s genial nature and ever present optimism have made him the favorite of the team. OQinaniG GEORGE KIDDER George carne to Bethany after the season was weU un- der way but just in time to fill a big vacancy. He soon made it known that he was a football player of no mean ability and did much to contribute to Bethany ' s greatest grid season. FRED K. STEWART Here is the general. Fred made a name for himself this last fall. Never was better generalship shown in a football contest than that which characterized the Tech game. Every play was cori-ectly called and executed, all this in spite of a great physical handicap. Fred ' s experience and good work during the past season puts all worries for the quarter position in the back-ground SIMON R. SMITH Here is an end who could fill the bill on almost any ag- gregation. They call him Hard Luck and occasionally Si but those two peculiar nick-names do not detract from his ability. He was one of the outstanding stars of the season. Much is expected of him next year. He is a Junior. RUSSEL ROSENBERG Rosy was a substitute lineman during- the 1920 season. No one dares predict a sub position for him in 1921. He played in the back-field in 1917 but was shifted to the line upon entering- college again last fall. Rosy is a gTeat fighter and can be depended upon to fill the position in which he is placed. FLOYD A. COLLER Floyd v as a sub half-back, full back, guard or tackle as the occasion demanded. Ever a hard player, he can fill any of these positions. The experience he has gained will help him greatly in the future. He is a Sophomore. GEORGE W. ROARK George was selected by H. A. Stansbury as an end on his All-State aggregation. To dispute this selection would be folly. To have seen him play is only to agree with Mr. Stansbury, George should do some great work for Bethany in the future. i- ji O g. ei hail I an DOUGLAS RIBLET Doug did not get the preliminary training which the rest of the squad received but in spite of the lack of conditioning he proved himself a valuaijle man subbing at both quarter-back and end. ARLAN S. KELLY Here is one of Kethany ' s real satellites. Playing his first year Kelly won himself a place in the hearts of the grid fans of the Ohio ' alley. He is the smallest man on the team and in many ways the most dangerous. Speed is his middle name and his side-stepping and receiving of passes; his open field running and his punting make him a valuable man indeed. If Kelley keeps on improving it is not too much to predict that ere long he will be one of the best in the great college game. JOSEPH W. LIDDERDALE Here is another terminal man that any opponent can well reckon with seriously. Joe is Ijut a youngster but has had a great deal of experience which should make him valu- able in the remainder of his football career. A:- JOHN W. ARMSTRONG Jack was hindered dm ' ing the early part of the season by injuries. He did not reach form until the middle of the season and those who have seen his prep school performances claim that he never did reach form. However he has sat- isfied Bethany fans that he will be a valuable man during the remainder of his football career. BRACE B. BOONE Manager The Florida Cracker made a first class manager. He couldn ' t be hurried and hence was never fussed. He handled his numerous duties in a creditable manner. That sun- browned face set off with an immaculate stiff collar and a fifteen center, that soft southern drawl and easy debon- aire maner make an ensemble that is hard to beat.

It was not expected however that any miraculous results would be obtained. Coach Pluland and his methods were new to Bethany men ; many new and comparatively inexperienced faces were seen in the training camp. Many of these latter had been stars of their prep school elevens, Isut they had never been under the rigorous strain of a college season. The one apparent handicap was the small number of men. Buland had one good team with a good substitute for each position. This however is considered by football authorities as a small margin. Injuries in foot- ball are generally numerous and one substitute for each position is seldom considei ' ed sufficient. In addition the men were light; averaging 163 pounds. Of course many of them were experienced and knew every depart- ment of the game. The chief reason for their great success however lay more in their spirit and fight, which was never excelled by any team they met. The training camp opened on September 3rd. It was Bethany ' s first attempt at anything of this kind and its value was well demonstrated be- fore the season closed. It gave the men three full weeks to condition and perfect their play and liy the time that the season opened the team was in better condition than any Bison team has ever been at the same time of the year. It is true that the Green did not win every game but a successful season is not always marked that way. Bethany went far out of her usual field and played many teams generally considered out of her class. What she did to some of her larger opponents forms a page of Bethany ' s athletic history which will never be forgotten. Washington and Jefferson, 28; Bethany,0 The first game of the season was with W. J. at Washington. The score does not indicate the brand of ball played by the Bisons. In the first quarter the Presidents were held scoreless and the ball was in their territory all of the time. Bethany carried the oval the entire length of the field from the kick-olf, but lacked the necessary punch to put it over. W. J. scored two touchdowns in the second quarter; one on an inter- cepted pass. In the third quarter the Presidents again succeeded in reg- istering twice. One of these was on a fumble. The team showed that it was of championship material but still lacked the proper co-ordination and smoothness in its playing which marked the successes later in the season As Dick Guy said in the LEADEPt: Bethany is not a championship team but it will take a championship team to beat tliem. Ohio University, 7; Bethany, This game was the real sad feature of the 1920 season. It was played in Parkersburg, W. Va. All things pointed to a Bison victory, but The Nineteen-Twenty Season — Continued for some reason the men could not get started. Over-confidence can be blamed for the catastrophe. All credit however is due the Ohio U. lads, for the lesson they taught was not forgotten and Bethany played differently after that fracas. Marietta, 14; Bethany, Marietta had not been defeated since the first game of the 1919 season. They guaged Bethany as easy money and thought they would easily add another victory to the string. Five minutes of the contest had not passed however until the Ohioans saw that Bethany was not going to be an easy nut to crack. The half ended and neither side had scored. Doc, Randy and Kelley had made a brave effort in the early minutes and had carried the ball right down the field ; first five, then ten and fifteen yards at a crack. Doc broke the entire opposing team once with the exception of Whiting, who in tackling him caused him to part company with that most important article of apparel, his trousers. His teammates rescued him but meanwhile Marietta got together and stopped the onrush. Early in the third quarter Whiting opened up with some beautiful aerial work which netted two touchdowns. Neither team scored in the last quarter. Bethany, 84; Salem, Bethany ' s first victory was from Salem College. The down-staters proved easy prey and ere the slaughter ended Bethany had rolled up 12 counters. Captain Hughes made the first touchdown of the season. The entire squad was used in this game and all played good ball. The last two periods were shortened but the onslaught continued right up to the last minute. Bethany had gotten the touchdown habit. Bethany, 9; Detroit Univ., 6 The mighty Univ. of Deroit team came to Wheeling to give the Buffaloes a whipping to put it in their own gentle terms. They had been defeated but once in the 1919 season and had not up to the Bethany game been scored on in the 1920 season. The husky westerners averaged 190 pounds from end to end of their mighty line and boasted of a couple of men of Ail-American calibre. It is little wonder that they called the Bethany team grasshoppers when they saw them trot onto the field. The first two minutes of the fray proved that the Auto City boys had mis-judged affairs and they were convinced that they were in for a tough afternoon. Stewart opened up as soon as he got into the enemy ' s territory and advanced the ball rapidly. With a first down on the six-yard line Doc took the ball in an off-tackle play and, conipletely laying out one of the opposing huskies, by the force of his impact, laid the pigskin safely on the other side of the last parallel. The crowd went wild and the players cut capers seldom seen outside of a circus. Hughes kicked a per- fect goal. In the second quarter a Detroit back failed to get a bad pass The Nineteen-Twenty Season — Continued from the center and Smith tackled him behind his own goal line scoring- two more points for Bethany. Detroit scored in the third quarter. Beth- any was almost worn out in the last period but managed to hold the Tigers scoreless. Never was a greater spirit of fight exhibited on a football field. The Buffalo had defeated the Tiger and Bethany fans for many a day will boast of the feat. Bethany, 27; George Washington Univ., 3 Bethany traveled the following Saturday to the Nation ' s capital to meet G. W. U. The Bisons were robbed of at least five touchdowns in this game, for after Latto stai ' ted things with a touchdown from a re- turned punt, the Green decided to turn the affair into a track meet. Cap- tain Hughes was out on account of injuries and Buland used all of the substitutes that he had with him. The team made for itself a great repu- tation in Washington and it was as a result of the fine spirit and great foot- ball played that Georgetown chose Bethany for her opponent later in the season. Bethany, S6; Westminster, The Bufi ' alo continued to stampede when they met Westminster in Wheeling on the following Saturday. A rather tough contest was expected but Randolph set matters m good shape when he went tearing through the Pennsylvanians in the first three minutes of iilay for a touchdown. After that it was an easy matter and the Bison scored two counters in each period. Bethany, 14; Carnegie Tech, November 13th was set aside as a red letter day on the Bethany calendar. It was the date of the Tech game and the Alumni Reunion. The affair was staged in Wheeling with results highly satisfactory to Bethany followers. Things began to happen about noon. Several hundred Alunnii and former students were on hand to witness the Skibo try his wares against the Buffalo. Tech brought several hundred rooters to wit- ness the affair as Tech had the best team in their history and were set to make it the fourth consecutive victory over the Bethany gridders. They even went so far as to bring a dozen or so of new brooms to clean up Wheeling after the aft ' air was over. The game was called at ' ) P. .M. and the best crowd of the year was present. Randolph, Kelley and Elder carried the ball into the enemy ' s teii ' itory right from the kick-off by a series of end runs and successful plunges. Stewart opened up w ith passes and annexed some additional terri- tory. Kelley took the ball on the thirty-yard line and by one of the most brilliant bits of open field running ever seen on the ' heeling field went through the entire Tech team for a touchdown. There was no more scor- ing until the fourth tjuarter when Randolph took the ball over from the ten-yard line where it had been placed by a number of successful passes. Captain Hughes made both of the free boots count and the score remained The Nineteen-Twenty Season — Continued .. at fourteen. To pick out individual satellites in this fracas was impossi- | ' ble. Gwinn stopped the much touted ' eirnlan in his tracks time after jj time, generally throwing him for a loss. ; ' The Techites were the cleanest and most sportsmanlike bunch Beth- I any met and the game was characterized by fair hard playing. ij West Va. Unl., 20; Bethany, li The Mountaineers stopped the Buffaloes ' victorious onrus h on No- [i vember 20th when they left them on the small end of a 20-0 score. In- :■} ability to stop the famous Beck is the reason given. Bethany however I did not play up to her usual standard. The fight was there but the field .-j was heavy and slowed the lighter team up considerably. West Virginia had ! ' feared the Buft ' aloes and Coach Alclntyre had pointed his proteges for that ij game rather than the one with Wash. Jeff, a week later. It was the [j unanimous statement of West Virginia followers that Bethany had the jj best team which appeared in Morgantown last fall. Georgetown Uni., 14; Bethany, 6 The season as it was originally planned was to end on November 20th with the W. V. U. game. Georgetown University offered Bethany the chance to come and play them at the Golden Jubilee Celebration of the Law School of that University which ended on December 5th. The sport writers of Washington who had seen Bethany perform in the G. W. U. game were largely responsible for this. Bethany was not really in trim ; having broken training from the day of W. V. U. game until the 28th. However they practiced diligently in snow and sleet and went to the Capi- tal City to stack up with the Hill Toppers. The Buifalo again gave a good account and held Georgetown to 14 points, while they succeeded in scoring- one counter themselves. Thus ended Bethany ' s most successful grid season.

U. Game 2 Grand Total 196 mKMi The Basket Ball Season The 1921 basketball season though not a great success was not what could be termed a total failure. Seventeen games were played and of the seventeen, ten were lost. Four of the games were lost on the western trip with the team playing every night. Coach Buland was confrontd with diihculties at the opening of the season. Captain Randolph, Roark, Blue, Allen, Coller and Marsh were the men from last year ' s varsity. Randolph, Coller and Roark fit into Buland ' s new combination. The team started off well, holding the powerful Wes- leyan combination within four points and leading them for a great part of the game. The W. V. U. game was the next stumbling block. However the Buffaloes would have recovered from that had not probation taken Roark and Dorsey, the star forward and guard respectively, off the team. Roark was removed on the eve of the western trip and Buland was left without a man to fill his place. He picked eight men however and they took the schedule as planned, losing all but one of the games played. Though as we said before Bethany ' s 1921 team did not hang up any remarkable record we can live in the bright prospects for 1922. With the entire 1921 varsity as a nucleus Buland should be able to build a great combination for the floor next winter. ' ells is a comer in every respect, Dorsey is as good a guard as trots the court, Kelley ' s game improved all through the season and all of the men showed progress in their game. From all indications the 1922 floor season should be one of the greatest in Bethany ' s athletic history. QUI ail ' f :m F. P. JONES Manager Jones was the efficient manager of the 1921 varsity. Efficient is a -word used to describe all managers, yet that doesn ' t mean we ' ve used it here because its the first word that occurs to us for Frank was efficient. CAPTAIN H. F. RANDOLPH Center Captain Randolph played his usual fast, clean game. In spite of his size Randy moves over the floor with remark- able quickness and plays a wonderful passing game. It is his second year in the captaincy, having been elected to the first team after the revival of the floor game in Bethanj last year. He has been a good leader and his consistency and hard work have won the well deserved confidence of his team-mates. Randy is a Junior. G. W. ROARK Forward Roark hung up an enviable record on the 1920 team and had ambitions to better it in 1921. The new Probation System met him howevei ' in the middle of the season and cut his work short. However his accurate shooting and wonderful floor work won the recognition of all the teams Bethany met. George has the ability to adapt himself readily to the playing of the opposite forward and hence shows well in any contest. He has firmly resolved however that he does not want Probation College to be on next year ' s schedule. Roark is a Sophomore. K. STEWART Forward Stewart is another of those dependable players whose game can always be counted upon. Stewail played forward or guard with equal ability. Injuries early in the season prevented him from reaching top form until the last few games. Stew is a Junior. F. A. COLLER Guard Coller is another hard worker who is largely responsi- ble for Bethany ' s success. He looks like a hard-boiled char- acter w hen he is in the play for Floyd doesn ' t play the game according to ladies rules. However neither the referee nor the opponents can ever complain, for with all his rough- ness, little of it is unnecessary when it is considered how much Coller plays for the love of the game. Coller is only a Sophomore and should be a tower of strength on next year ' s varsity. NEWTON DORSE Y Guard Here is the stellar guard of the Bethany combination. He seldom resorts to a toss at the basket until the team needs it, then he drops them in from anywhere in the op- ponents territory. The common comment of the spectator who sees Fig perform for the first time is, How does he do it? He can take the ball the length of the floor with ease against the entire opposing team. Fig also had a battle with Probation and was cut out of the last couple of, weeks of the season. He is a Freshman. , IKe 3o th o n ia u. illililiri— R. L. PATTERSON Guard Although small in size Patterson was g ' reat in deeds on the Bethany basketball liooi ' . Patty is always a hard player and a consistent scorer. In Patterson and Dorsey the Green had a great guarding combination. Patterson is but a Freshman and can be expected to add great strength to the 1922 varsity. A. S. KELLEY Forward Here is the real speed merchant of the team. Kelley made the varsity in his Freshman year and is another of the combination from which Bethany fans expect great things in time to come. His shooting was not as consistent as some of the members of the team, but he did excellent work from the foul line during the entire season. E. L. WELLS Center Wells has a promising future before him in basketball. His rapid improvement in scoring and general floor work during the past season brings this prediction. He is six feet three in height and plays an excellent game at either center or guard. s=Qa_ Basketball Results Bethany 39- Bethany .--.46- Bethany 28- Bethany 30- Bethany 25- Bethany 51- Bethany 53- Bethany 20- Bethany 42- Bethany 32- Bethany 18- Bethany 20- Bethany 8- Bethany 20- jjethany .18- Bethany 20- Bethany 23- Won 7. -Steubenville Y 20 -Theta Mu 17 -Wesleyan 33 -Glenville S.

Bethany was handi- capped by the disciplinary measures used on several of the players but in spite of this managed to hold her own in a creditable manner. High hopes for the state championship were held early in the season, but these were blasted by the Wesleyan aggiegation, who succeded in annexing three of the four games played. The Buffaloes split even with West Vir- ginia University and JMarshall. One of the peculiar features of the season was the number of extra inning games. In four of the extra inning games Bethany tied the score in the eighth inning and won in one of the added frames. HERMAN R. BECKELHEIMER Coach Coach Beckelheimer was eminently successful with the 1920 baseball squad. He had hvX little old material with which to strive for a winning combination, but nevertheless it can be truthfully said that Bethany had one of the best baseball teams of her history. One of Beckelheimer ' s great- est qualities was his infinite patience. He worked hard to bring the team to form and stood the brunt of the criticism for many of its failures with- out complaint. CARL V. MILLER Beckelheimer had as his assistant in the tutoring of the 1920 squad. Director Carl V. Miller, who donned his togs every day and worked with the team. Miller knows baseball and with Beck they made a pair of coaches that were hard to beat. 4: 0 0 - -n , ra laii ' P:DMUND a. MARSHALL Acting Captain Due to the fact that Bethany had had no team in the spring of 1921 they were left without a captain. Marshall was the vet of the squad and was appointed to act as captain during the 1921 season. Tiny romped over the left garden and harvested everything in his territory. In addition he led the team in hitting and made a capable and well liked leader. Tiny pitched occasionally. ROBERT COOK Captain Elect When the matter of elections to the leadership came up, Robert Cook was chosen to fill the shoes of the captain for the 1921 season. Cookie has played every position on the diamond including both ends of the bat- tery and knows the game from A to Z. His fielding leaves little to be de- sired and he can generally be depended upon for some good work with the war club. Cook also pitched a game or two last season, though short-stop is his regular position. D. H. BROMLEY | The team was robbed of the third member of the hurl- I ing stafl: soon after the return from the Southern trip. }. Bromley took sick and was not able to participate in any {; more games during the season. He is a steady pitcher with j; lots of experience and a good head. ii h 1 .! sa -:- t5d: i .- i. -- i- i - V •i ' ' ' ' ; c yj jCi e Ginaniaih H. F. RANDOLPH This husky was the mainstay of the pitching- staff. Randy is as good as are generally found in college circles and proved that fact throughout the season. lie has lots of speed and twists and though he has days when his con- trol is not of the best he can generally be depended upon to put the ball where the enemy can ' t touch it. A. D. WOLFE Deacon held down the hot corner in a manner credita- ble to himself and the team. No matter what the score he never admits defeat until the last man is out. He has lots of chatter and pep and is an all-round ball player. ROBERT McCONNELL Bob, the long boy from Moundsville held down the initial sack like a veteran. He is a steady player and a consistant hitter. 1 jtSV G. W. ROARK George was the receiving end of the battery. He is a consistant, heady player, with whom baseball seems to be a natural gift. Roark is a better first-baseman than back- stop. r A. R. REZZONICO Rezzy held down every infield position on the team save first base. He also romped around in the outer gar- dens occasionally. He is ecjually adept at most any position and rendered valuable service by virtue of his versatility. L. T. LEWIS Lefty was another of the hurlers of the 1921 sea- son. He pitched nice ball throughout the season and many of the victories are credited to him. .,:r- 0 Bo am an J. B. REYNOLDS Johnny was another of the outfielders that made Bethany ' s outer gardens ahiiost invuhierable. John was also a big- man with the stick and hit consistently throughout the entire season. - FRED WEYMAN Here is Bethany ' s pepper-box. When Minnie can ' t kid the pitcher he starts telling the batter what he thinks of the opposing hurler. His clown-like antics on the coaching lines are not his IMg claim to superiority for he catches most anything that happens to land in the right corner of the lot. He is an excellent hitter and an experi- enced man. R. G. CALAHAN Cal played second and did his share of the stick- work. His cheerful optimism and never-say-die spirit helped win more than one game.

Although no matches were won it must be considered that Bethany was meeting teams that had been playing the game for some time. Some excellent material showed up and we should have real tennis teams in years to come. The student body is taking more interest in the sport and six tennis courts have been fixed up and put in condition to play. This is a great boon to the court game in Bethany and should mean rapid development of a number of good players. This year ' s team was captained by W. B. Lacock. W. R. Ford, E. L. Bemis, Cameron jNIeacham, John Budke, and W. B. La- cock made their letters last vear. TF7A K Track Bethany has made no stellar record in Track in the past. Track work of all kinds previous to this year received little or no attention either from the student body or those in charge of athletics. It was there- fore an innovation when last fall there was an attempt to organize a Cross- Country- team. Due to an insufficient number of candidates and the fact that only two had ever competed in inter-collegiate o}- inter-scholastic contests the attempt was a failure. In spite of this set-back, however, all the Track candidates clad jn the scanty raiment necessitated by the sport, worked faithfully during the winter months, keeping in trim by daily circumventing the athletic field. The material in college is of the vei ' y highest calibre. Arlan Kelly is a wizard with the hammer as well as a star in the pole vault and the run- ning high jump. Harold Anderson won many laurels in the running high jump during his high school days. Douglas Riblet is a high jumper and a pole vaulter. Manager Frank Ilelme is a distance runner who has quite a record in the mile and half ]nile. In the dashes John Seely and Don Hart are the real performers, while a relay team composed of Riblet, Wilhelm and Kelley showed promising form. There were no scheduled meets this year but Bethany has a nucleus of track men who will put her on the map in days to come.

Helme Freshmen Members ■ Glen Carpenter Ruth Netting ■ The Student Council I ' llill ' V! We, the students of Bethany College, desiring to promote a more homogeneous student body, to organize and encourage student activities, to promote a feeling of individual responsibility in the heart of each stu- dent for the welfare of his, or her, Alma Mater, and to contribute in every way possible to a fuller and richer student life, do hereby adopt the follow- ing constitution, — thus reads the preamble to the constitution of the Student Government, which now exists in Bethany College. One form of Student Government existed in the early days of our Alma I Iater — while Alexander Campbell was president — but the present system was not organized until January, 13iii. At this tjme a student com.iiittee composed of Irvin Green, Ray Miller, Geoige Sutton and Ade- laide McCollom from the Senior class; James Hurst, Louis Perry and Gladys Hays from the Junior class; with Milton Hanna, John Scott and Royal Robeson from the Sophomore class, met to consider a system of Student Government which would prove feasible for Bethany. From this committee Messrs. Miller, Hurst, Hanna and Miss Hays were selected to meet with Dean Cramblet and draft a constitution, with bv-iaws. The resulting constitution was but slightly altered and upon being pre- sented to the student body, was adopted by a vote of 121-9. A Student Council to which representatives from all classes are elected is the governing body of the w hole system. Because the Constitution was adopted in the spring of the year there was no time lost the following fall in the election of representatives. Since it ' s installation the Council has formed the Student Board of Publications and created an annual May Day. A most important work has been the laying of the foundation upon which an honor system may be erected. In addition to accomplishing these paramount duties the council has arranged a schedule of the regular meeting of all our collegiate organ- izations in such a manner that many undue conflicts were abolished. It in- stituted an annual Spring Clean-Up-Day; it appointed the Pep commit- tee, the student members of the Athletic Board of Control and the com- mittee for alumni entertainment at Commencement time; and has created many other committees which have rendered valuable service in adding to our College life. This system of Student Government is by no means perfect but it is helping to gradually unite the students of Bethany in Activity and Spirit. iSTUDENTi mu-i - A- O Tp History of Bethany Publications The history of Ijethany publications is a long ' and interesting story. The Millenial Harbinger, The Styhis, The Guardian, The Collegian, The Meteor, The Kodak, The Bethanian and now the Bethany Harbinger are the life stories that must be told ere the history is complete. The most important of the above named publications was of course never a student enterprise, but it was so inseparably connected with Beth- any ' s founding and consequent progress, that it is considered a Bethany publication. This was the Millenial Harbinger, first edited by Ale xander Campbell in the year 1830. Mr. Campbell continued the little monthly magazine until his death in 1860. In it he set forth the principles of the Restoration Movement; wrote long dissertations on points of theological dispute and penned numerous moral essays. Through its columns he con- tinually exhorted the followers of his beliefs to support Bethany College and the great work she was doing in training ministers for the church. After Mr. Campbell ' s death the editorship passed to President Y. K. Pendleton and was discontinued entirely in the year 1870. It had done a great work however and today we can look upon the voluminous writings of the founder of our college and realize the plans that he had for Bethany and incidentally wonder at his great perseverance, ability and capacity. The first actual student publication was the Stylus, published first in 1853. It was a magazine of more or less literary style, containing also the items of news about the college. This was suspended after everal years, but was revived again in 1869, under the name of The Guardian. The Guardian was quite alive for several years, Init diflnculties of printing- caused its discontinuance in the early eighties. The Collegian was the next publication and was published jointly by the three literary societies of the college. The Collegian is today the college news-sheet and is no longer under my obligation to the literary societies. The Meteor was Bethany ' s first annual. It was published in 1896, ' 97 and ' 98. There was not another annual published until 1905, when the Kodak made its first appearance. The annual went under this name until 1909, when it was changed to the Bethanian. Since that time The Beth- anian has appeared each year. The year 1921 has seen the introduction of a new member to Beth- any ' s family of publications; The Bethany Harbinger. The fate of the new publication rests largely with the alumni of the college. The story of its infancy can be found on one of the following pages. iCX- r CjAe ' haniaiv Tomorrow Just what does tomoiTow hold for Bethany Pubhcations is a question which occurs to every undergraduate and graduate interested in this branch of activity. Our publications have proved themselves necessary to our well being as a college student body. They have not had the influence among the alumni that they should have had because of the dearth of sub- scribers among- the Bethany folks who have gone before. The publications are in excellent shape at the present time. This is due largely to the work done by the students. A program which entailed expenditures of three thousand dollars has been successfully carried out. Next year ' s program should call for more but the student body is taxing itself to the limit in these matters. The remedy is, more whole-hearted support on the part of alumni. If five hundred alumni subscribed to The Collegian and The Harbinger the financial problem would be a simple mat- ter. In addition Bethany would be better off for the spirit engendered by these papers and ma.o ' azines making their regular appearance in the Beth- any homes. The future of Bethany publications is by no means dark. In fact plans are complete for next year ' s program and already the students who have such matters in hand are busv at the task. Student Board of Publications Chairman . Donald L. Boyd Business Manager Frank P. Jones Assistant Business jManager Alfred H. Hyatt Advei ' tising- Manager Paul B. Sutton Assistant Advertising Manager Russell S. Cox Circulation Manager Mac Ryan The student body of the college officially took over the management of the pub ' rications last spring when the Student Council created the Stu- dent Board of Publications. The plan called for a board of seven mem- bers to handle all subscription, advertising and general management of funds for the publication of college periodicals. The plan has been eminently successful. The editors of the publica- tions have had no financial worries and have been enabled to turn all of their efforts to their respective editorial duties with beneficial results. The Board has had many experiences this year which will increase its effi- ciency in years to come and enable them to tackle larger things as -ears go by. — ' ft :— ;J13( ' c J Kg y - — -- The Bethany Collegian Staff CAMPBELL WATSON Editor ALBERT WILLIAMS Associate Editor MARGARET McCOLLAM Associate Editor BOB TUCK Exchange Editor MAUDE BALSINGER Social Editor ELIZA EDWARDS Alumni Editor Reporters BRACE BOONE— Athletics LYNN ROSINO— Athletics FLOYD CARLISLE— Fraternities CHARLES GOETTLING— Athlet; s DON HART— Athletics FRANK HELjM— Activitiea STELLA WELLS— Local X $f( The Collegian It is with something of a sense of pride that the Bethany Collegian revie s its history of the past. It was but a year ago last January that this, the bi-weekly news sheet of Bethany College, was resurrected from oblivion after an absence of over a year. At that time, the future of the publications of Bethany college was entirely without anything that resembled a silver lining. It was only after over-coming the greatest of difficulties that the Collegian was revived and was once more able to stand upon its own feet. Published far from Bethany, the appearance of the Collegian during the first days of its revival were irregular indeed. It was only the super!) confidence of its restorers that resulted in the final achievement of the Collegian of today. The New Collegian was not permitted to lapse into its former posi- tion in oblivion. Promptly upon the fii ' st day of the Fall term of 1920-21 it appeared, twice its former size. To-date, the Collegian has succeeded in appearing on time regularly. Earnest eftorts have been put forth to realize the aim of the Collegian — the publication in the best possible form of all of the news promoting the best interests of Bethany College. One of the most powerful factors aiding in the re-creation of the col- lege newspaper has been the establishment of the Student Board of Publi- cations. This board, assuming, as it does, all of the responsibiliy for the business management of the paper, has left the editorial staff free for un- hindered development. Though viewing with a feeling akin to satisfaction the past accom- plishments of the college paper, the Collegian realizes its deficiencies. Looking to the future, the attempt is to remedy these. Among the most important, it is earnestly to l)e hoped that the paper may be published weekly next year. With eyes wide to its possibilities, the Collegian faces the future, confident of a banner vear in the session of ' 21- ' 22. ' : j( G e lIQJh ■ The Bethany Harbinger THE EDITORIAL STAFF Mrs. A. R. Bourne G. Ehvood Strobel Donald L. Boyd This year the pubhcations of Bethany College have had cause to re- joice over the addition of a magazine, the need of which has long been felt. The newcomer is the literary quarterly, and has been named the Beth- any Harbinger. As yet, the immaturity of the publication is a hinderance to its use- fulness; For the Harbinger is not yet well enough established to as- sume the place of prominence that it should have in the life of Bethany College. It is not with undue optimism, however, that we predict that this publication will soon grow by leaps and bounds. Although the magazine is primarily an alumni publication, the Stu- dent Board of Publications have assumed the guardianship of this young- ster. Although the Harbinger had a puny beginning, we believe that the future will see the Hajbinger thriving, a credit to Bethany, and a source of pride to its founders. As to the purpose of this magazine, the Harbinger finds its rea- son for existence in the theory that the college owes its alumni more than mere athletic scores and accounts of social functions ; it owes them more than an occasional banquet and the request for dues. In addition, it owes them a little intellectual stimulant; differing from that they receive from the ordinary literary papers of the day; a stimulant which carries in it the atmosphere of the place where they spent their college days; a stim- ulant which carries their minds back to the plastic stage where an im- pression can be made. It is with such aims and ideals that the Bethany Harbinger comes into existence. It is believed that the future will more than justify its creation ; that it will ever prove a orthy magazine, emanating the true Bethany spirit from every line. 1111 K ■ A ' Tllxe ' Bethan ' i ' ' ;. )enior Beth anian Staff Editor-in-Chief Donald L.

The Merry Masquers The Merry Masquers The Merry Masquers, the dramatic ckib of Bethany CoUege, was or- ganized in the year 1913. Through their organization much interest has been created in dramatic art and Hterature and much talent developed. The club is just closing one of the most interesting and helpful years of its history. The officers have given their best efforts to the club, and this coupled with the untiring aid of Pi ' of. liourne and the enthusiasm and hearty response of the members, has enabled the production of a number of unusually interesting programs. These have included papers on modern poets followed by readings from their poetry, and a presentation of the development of the Outdoor Theatre. The February meeting was given over to a study of Authors born in that month and concluded with a dramatization of The Courtship of Miles Standish. On the evening of December 16, the club presented to the public Ye Old English Christmas. This was given in the social room of the Library and all who were present, felt that they had been carried back to days which they knew only from the pages of history. There were the old Druid Priests, with their queer chant, who lighted candles in preparation for the Christmas festivities of the court ; there was Queen Elizabeth, herself, surrounded by gay courtiers, lords and ladies in festive array. Then came the Lord of Misrule, who turned the dignity of the court into a scene of gayest merriment. The Yule log, the Wassail bowl, the fiery dragon, the Christmas pie. the boar ' s head bedecked with holly, and the merry hobby-horse riders, all added to the festivities and the air resounded with merry Christmas songs. This was followed by a very good presentation of The Second Shepard ' s Play. The proceeds from this entertainment were used in the purchase of reading lights for the north reading room of the library. The activities of the club are now centered upon the preparation of a play to be given conunencement week. Milton ' s Comus has been se- lected and, following the custom of other commencement plays of Beth- any, will be presented on the Campus. Intercollegiate Debate AFFIRMATIVE TEAM Perry J. Cook — First Speaker John W. Seely — Second Speaker Robert S. Tuck— Third Speaker Frank G. Hehne — Alternate Resolved: ' That the Government should own and operate the Coal Mines; Transportation waived; Constitutionality ranted. ' Bethany ' s Affirmative Debating team hotly and fluently contested the same question with two diff erent collegiate rivals this year. It met West Virginia Wesleyan ' s Negative team at Buchannon, W. Va., on April 22nd, and after a gruelling battle of words the decision was given to Wesleyan. Nothing daunted, the team immediately returned to Bethany and despite the long, tedious journey home, debated the Negative team from Mt. Union College on April 23rd. In this debate also, victory was granted our op- ponents despite Cook ' s convincing argumentation, Seely ' s passionate appeal and Tuck ' s silver-tongued oratory and impressive delivery. The Fates were inexorable. This is the first year that either Cook, Seely or Helme have participated in inter-collegiate debate. Robert Tuck, a Senior and the only experienced member of the team, will be greatly missed next year, but the remaining three will form a nucleus for a team which ought to prove itself invincible before all comers. ™1 Intercollegiate Debate NEGATIVE TEAM Horatio T. Pease — First Speaker Frank Donaldson — Second Speakei ' Joseph A. Reeves — Third Speaker Flovd L. Carhsle — -Alternate Resolved: ' That the Governinent should own and operate the Coal Mines ; Transportation waived ; Constitutionality granted. ' The Negative team from Bethany was apparently more fortunate than the Affirmative team in the past year — losing only one out of its two con- tests. In its first debate — at Bethany on April 22nd, with Marietta Col- lege — through Pease ' s incomparable rheortic, Donaldson ' s eloquent, per- suasive oratory, and Reeves ' onslaught of facts, it was gloriously victorious. Traveling to Alliance, Ohio, the team met Mt. Union ' s Affirmative team on the following evening, April 23id. Alas ! the victory was accorded to the Home team. No man on this team had hitherto debated in inter-collegiate circles and yet they made a very fine showing. Only one man — Joseph Reeves — will be lost this year through graduation. The other three men will undoubtedly return to Bethany next year and will help give Bethany that supremacy in Debating which she is so rapidly attaining in her other collegiate activities. ir I r Glee Club CyixQ Bq (h a n ia n Glee Club Personnel First Tenor Anderson, H.

The Glee Club this year was late in organizing-, but since, in January, the Club went into training they have been working under full pressure, having two regular weekly rehearsals, within the last few weeks even daily practice. The result, as evinced at the initial home appearance, which took place on the evening of May loth, was a really artistic rendition of a wide range of modei ' n a capella songs. The balance and blending of voices and the shading was such as is not often heard from amateur or- ganizations. Two clarinet solos by Paul Mason likewise added materially to the variety and enjoyment of the occasion which was further enhanced by the natty appearance of the boys in their faultless tuxedos. A trip extending over ten days scheduled by the active manager, Paul Shafer, was undertaken beginning Friday, May 13th. The itinerary in- cluded Pittsburgh, Beaver, Uniontown and other cities of Western Penn- sylvania. The boys in every respect upheld the high traditions of the col- lege and the trip served as a means to maintain cordial contact between our Alma Mater and its alunmi and friends. We salute the club as one of the many enlarging influences that increasingly emanate from our beloved institution. i i OLX) - ETTHANY ' ' mm - ' ih. Words b E.J.

Tuck Vice President H. T. Pease Secretary Cliff. Bucy Treasurer Lee Darsie iManager Lecture Course Fred Heifer This year the Y started olf with the slog-an Every student a mem- ber of the ' Y ' . In this the organization proved very successful, for witliin a week after the opening- of the school there were more than one hundred names entered upon the roll of the Y. AL C. A. This made a good beginning 3 for the Vv ' ork of the year. The Y. M. C. A. in Bethany holds a peculiar position. In the large university there is plentj of worlc for this organization. There are Bible I classes to be organized, general student morals to be looked after, and I the general up-keep of student discipline and the students spiritual life. This is the task in a large school, but in Bethany the situation is somewhat different. We have our Bible class, vre have a high standard of morality, and the spiritual life of the school is looked after both by the church and by the administration, thus it places the Y. jM. C. A. in a different position than in other schools. However, the Y has done a constructive work during the past year. The lecture course has been very efficiently managed and some very good numbers have been presented. This is due to the work of the Y under the leadership of the manager of the lecture course. Aside from this a great number of men of prominence in business life have been brought in to speak to the student body. Although not supported as they should be the meetings have been very interesting and these men have brought inspira- tion and vision to those who have heard them speak. The social life has been cultivated. At the beginning of the school year the male students got together and got acquainted and from time to time during the year the boys have gotten together for many good times. These to- gether with the work done by the committees on the Y on opening day, which like the trolley meets all the trains. has caused the Y to do a silent and constructive work although it has been on a small scale. The future of the Y looks good. The incoming president will be sent to the Conference at Silver Bay, where he will receive great inspiration for the coming year ' s work. By the careful organization of the work at the beginning of the school year a very good program can be carried out. However, one thing is essential and that is that the student body give their whole-hearted support to the Y. M. C. A. in this program. ' ith- out the student l)ody it can do nothing. So with a firm president and a loyal support of the men of the school the Y is certain to have great suc- cess and do a great work within the gates of Old Bethany. 1 ■liijll ' -•fTllll;?.: Young Women ' s Christian Association laih Young Women ' s Christian Association CABINET OFFICERS President Ruth Leslie Vice President Margaret IMcColIam Secretaiy Grace Lee Treasurer Helen Day Lois Arnold Elizalieth Baker Sara Baker Maud Balsinger Thelma Bates Virginia Barclay Charline Bebout Elizabeth Bente Ethel Burdette Caroline Bullard Carmen Calvert Grace Campbell Sara Cannon Xantha Cook Margaret Lukens Grace Lee Ruth Leslie Bertha jMcCollam Margaret McCollam Cora McConnell Irene McDermott Alice ] Iarsh Estella Meyer Dorothy IMunger Alatis Mullen Olive Murphy Clarice Oaks Iris Owings Cora Palmer iMEMBERSHIP ROLL Miriam Darbyshire Helen Day Helen Deemer Katherine Dorsey Ethel Earlywine Eliza Edwards Ruby Elsam Lottie Griffith Olive Gedeohn Helen Gilfillan Rosemary Gillette Helen Hagedorn Mary Helphrey Anna Hibler Helen Porte) ' Mabel Powelson Nancy Ray Mrs. Redacre Elizabeth Robbins Alice Rogers Mrs. Russell Nelle Sammons Martha Slee Beatrice Scott Mildred Spragg Audrey Springer Mildred Sproul Margaret Steindorf Jennie Steindorf Ethel Spray i Iariam Hibler Edna Higby Mary Hurt Kate Hurt Helen Hussey Marie Holloway Gayle Johnston Dot Joseph Nelle Lancaster Edith Langtltt Eathel Langfitt Anna Carr Ligon Mary Hardy Ligon Mary Love Francis Underwood Julia Warren Sue Wachtel IMargaret ' atson Emilv ' oods Matis Mullen Florence Farabee Blanche Kagarice Grace Kagarice Margaret Ryan Eva Neville Faculty Members ilrs.

Such successful and well-known men as, E. P. Mse, John R. Clark, Dr. S. M. Martin, W. B.

Meeting ' s have been held every alternate Friday for Mission Study and Consecration, our object being three-fold: 1. To study matters pertaining- to our future work as missionaries in the foreign field. 2. To aid spiritual and intellectual growth. 3. To create and foster missionary spirit among our fellow students. The band has been inspired throughout the year by the close fellow- ship it has enjoyed with Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Elsam, our missionaries from India, who have brought us many instructive and helpful messages right from the Field. In March Bethany was visited by the Recruitment Committee of the United Christian Missionary Society. By public addresses and private in- terviews the Committee benefited us gi ' eatly. ' e look forward with strong hope towards even greater things in the future. The Literary Societies From the first year of our college, throughout its illustrious history the training offered by the literary societies has been considered among the great advantages offered by Uethany. The college and the societies grew up together. Each society is a distinct social and literary group within the larger college group. It is an honor to have membership in a group al- ready famous, because of the work of its distinguished sons and daughters — a distinction to cite them as member of my society and an inspiration to follow their lead. No activity apart from the class-room work has helped Bethany stu- dents more than the work of the literary societies. These privileges are open to all. Here the Freshman may make his oratorical debut, the Sopho- more may declaim his high and lofty standing, the Junior may paint the picture of hope and ambition and the Senior may point his eager listeners to the grave and serious responsibilities of life. From the literary platform the right of free speech is always prac- tised. The societies offer the opportunity for mental gymnastics which give the needed practice for the development of latent mental abilities. Up- on the platforms of Bethany ' s societies many noted men have received their first training in public expression and have gone forth with abilities developed to do service to man-kind and in so doing honor their Alma Mater. It is regretable that the societies have lost much of that wonderful enthusiasm and the fine old traditions of former years. These things should again become an integral part of our college spirit and do their part in instilling into Bethany ' s sons of future days the real culture and breadth of vision which characterized her sons of the past. noth anian m n , Neotrophian Literary Society OFFICERS Spring Term President Donald L.

I ' ' ii Neotrophian Literary Society Neotrophia Onward, upward, ever marching, Toward the truth we richly pi ' ize. Light descends, but genius soars. Where her constellations burn. And the stars of Neotrophia ' s glory rise. — and ni ti ' ue accordance with the spirit of its song, Neotrophia has been going proudly onward and upward since the year 1841. It was on the fifth of November in this, the year of the founding of Bethany Col- lege, that the Neotrophian Literary Society held its first meeting. Eight years later the society received its charter from the legislature of Virginia. In ' 51, Bethany College burned to the ground, and the society ' s library, consisting of twelve hundred volumes, perished in the flames. But this did not serve to discourage the members, for they were given another hall that was elegantly furnished and appropriately decorated, and through- their friends were able to replace their library with a much better one. Distaster in the shape of fire again overtook the organization in the fall of 1878. Undaunted, the Neotrophians again established themselves in new quarters. They continue to occupy the same hall to which they moved after this last conflagration. From that time on the history of Bethany College has teen the history of Neotrophia. ' hen the college prospei ' ed, Neotrophia pi ' ospered; when the college met with misfortune, it was shared by Neotrophia. It was not until 1918 that girls were admitted to membership in Neotrophia; they have proved themselves most true and worthy members of the society. The session of 1920-21 has seen the achieving of much that goes for the improvement of this historic organization. Under the capable leadership of Presidents Carlisle, Williams and Boyd, the society has enjoyed a prosperous year. Chief among the changes made have been those in the constitution of the society. Many wise meas- ures have been passed that seek the raising of the standards of literary excellence required by the organization of its members. Fifty niembers are now on the society roll and all are most active and enthusiatic Neotro- phians. Having accomplished much for the increase of the merit of the or- ganization, Neotrophia now looks toward her material suri ' oundings. The hope of the leaders of the society is that Neotrophia may celeiirate her eightieth birthday in a newly renovated hall. With such aspii-ations in view, the society now plans a campaign for funds for the complete restora- tion of the meeting room, for it is hoped that the 80th year of the organization may be begun in an auspicious manner. i :)ii£ ' vUi Jiiiii- ,1 ' Adelphian Literary Society 211 Adelphian Literary Society f President Mr. W.

The Society be- gan its marked career under the guidance of J. E. Pounds, who served as its first president, and Burris A. Jenkins, as its first secretary. Realizing that the society could broaden it scope of usefulness by ad- mitting other than ministerial students, this provision was made and the membership is no longer liinited to those who are studying for the minis- try. The society has always had a definite aim and has had a great in- Huence upon the literary endeavor of Bethany students. Under the present regime it has flourished and at the present time over fifty young men and women meet each Monday evening to listen to programs of real literary merit. The society has been a real training school in literary matters for all college students. It is a real, live organization fulfilling its mission and in- stilling into its members the high and lofty ideals of our dear Alma Mater. The motto of the society speaks for itself: Neglect not the gift that is in thee. The result of the years work has proven that Adelphia is luiilt upon a solid foundation. It voices the hope and determination of the future. Adelphia, Adelphia Forever ; Fraternal society ' s hymn. Alay the wreaths it has won never wither Nor the star of its glory grow dim. With lives that are burnished and golden. We ' ll ever be true to our colors. And shout for Adelphians true.

Balsinger George E. Strol)el j t Eliza Edwards C. Campbell Watson I Ruth R. Leslie ADjert R. Williams i I In the belief that the establishment of an Honorary Journalistic Fra- t ternity will prove an incentive for faithful work on the publications of Bethany College, and in the knowledge that the mutual association of those interested in the growth and the development of Bethany publica- tions would prove of advantage to Bethany ' s journalistic endeavors, this organization was established on the ninth day of May, nineteen hundred and twenty-one. Because the value of an honor depends upon the difficulty of its at- tainment, the members of Alpha Alpha Epsilon have set their entrance re- quirements on a high plane. At least one year of work upon the staff of one of the student publications, and the appointment to an editorship, are necessary before one will be consido ' ed as a candidate. In addition, the members are required to have made some definite contribution to th wel- fare of the student publications.

AN EXALTED CAUSE We feel that the Bethanian would be unsuccessful were we not to include in these pages a report of the remarkable work of Mr. Brace B. Boone, a philanthropic son of the sunny south. Mr. Boone has proven himself one of the most remarkable benefactors of mankind by the estab- lishing of what is undoubtedly one of the most munificent beneficient insti- tutions extant. This nolile and gifted progen - of the Reverend J. T. Boone of Jacksonville, Fla., is indeed foliowhig in his father ' s footsteps. It is to Dan alone that there belongs the distinction of having founded the Professor ' s Sons Relief. In the belief that our already over-burdened pro- fessors can be assisted, and that their progeny will benefit, by big brother- ship with the Bethany students, he has adopted Max Gay. Boone now calls upon every ti ' ue and loyal son of Bethany to share in this noble en- terprise. For further information, phone No. L-O. FOUR REASONS FOR ABOLISHING CLASSES They are an age-old custom and hence a stumbling block in the path of progress. Because the student body has never been consulted in the matter of their establishment. Because those foolish mortals who attend generally sleep through them. Because the Faculty don ' t want them abolished. HUSCROFT ' S FLORAL SHOP CUT FLOWERS FOR ALL OCCASIONS 173 N.

STIFEL CO., STORE FOR MEN Wheeling, West Virginia WELLSBURG BANKING AND TRUST CO. Will Appreciate Your Patronage Wellsburg, West Virginia COLLEGE DEFINITIONS SENIOR — A small group in college for the sole purpose of admonish- ing the faculty. JUNIOR — A little larger group in college for the sole puipose of quarreling ' with the Seniors. SOPHOjMORE — A very important group of physically robust mental nonentities whose importance is all in their ov n eyes. FRESHMEN — A group who aspire to be Seniors. They don ' t know much and haven ' t very high aspirations. BIZ — A college activity which always has plenty of candidates. The word is derived from BUZZ and is an imitative word meaning to make a low droning or humming sound. The constant practice of such rash folly often results in love-sickness. BIZOLOGY — The study of biz. Very much indulged in by most Beth- any students. Even the faculty have been known to dabble in the affairs and otter advice in such matters. The advice is generally useless as Love Will Find a Way. FLUNK — A polite way the faculty has of notifying you that you are smoking too much and spending too many evenings in front of the Sorority houses or out the Castleman ' s Run Road. PROBATION — A system of elimination of athletes and otherwise active students. The systemjs gloried in b ' the faculty, detested by the student body, appreciated by Bethany ' s opponents and tolerated by her alunnii.

VA., JUNE 1921 No. 5 w. W. PAYS DIVIDENDS The Wfll hurtr, ] (tli;iny and Washington Traction Com- pany, more commonly known as the Walk Back and Wait recently declared a stock di ' i- dend of 2%. The shock of the announcement of this fact caused several fatalities among the stockholders and there has been an unprecedented rush to obtain the holdings of the deceased. The W. B. and W. was incor- porated in 1909, with a capital- ization of S22i.n59.i7. Since that time no repairs have been- made on the road, no new roll ing stock has been purchased and no dividends paid. As we understand the proposition, the W. B. W. has only been twelve years accumulating the necessary S4,421.18 3 10 cents necessary to pay the recent dividend. The enormous prof- its of the road total S36S.43 1M2 cents per year. Treasurer McElvoy ha.s urged the stock-holders to rein- vest the divident that a much needed cattle car may be added to the rolling stock. STUDENT COUNCIL ELECTED The elections to the Student Council were held last Tuesday after Chapel. Candidates for the offices were as numerous as fleas after a penkinese and the meetings of the various classes were as noisy as a fiat-wheeled trolley with three Bolshevike brass bands. The politicians were as busy as a one-armed paperhanger with a thoroughly organized regiment of cooties and t he information spilled concerning their various candidates would fill about six sets of old man Brittanica ' s encyc. After several hours of useless argument, the dark horses began to appear and there was much consternation among the politicians. After several hours of haggling, the Juniors finally elected their members. The President of the Sophomore class resigned to be able to serve up his oration on Politics in College Circles. He put his listeners to sleep and proceeded with the election single-handed. All in all, however, the elec- tion results were highly satis- factory. BETHANIAN STAFF HOLDS INTERESTING MEETING The Bethaniau Staff held a meeting in the Publication ' s office last week. The editor voiced the opinion that if Bethanians sold for fifteen cents a piece there would be six persons in Bethany who could find an excuse for not purchas- ing a book. About the middle of the meeting, the goboon fan over and assistant Athletic Editor Boone was asked to remove it to a more convenient position, or take it out and empty it. Boone was asleep and Hersh- berger suggested that the edi- tors spit behind the radiator. After a lengthy discussion in which nothing was accom- plished, the editors discussed baseball. Athletic Editor Latto tliat the present team wuukl be a good one if they weren ' t so temper mental. Ass ' t Editor- in-chief Williams looked up the word in the new dictionary and satisfying his curiosity, lit a cigarette. Ass ' t funny ' edi- tor Cos moved the meeting adjourn and his immediate funny superior Hershberger seconded. The vote was unan- imous. The lady members of the staff were not present at this meeting as some of the language used in the last regu- lar gathering was unfit for female ears. Boone was acting as secretary of the meeting and as he slept throughout, there was no written report to sub- mit to the absentees. FACULTY UP IN THE AIR Claiming that the Seniors pitched an ineligible man in the annual Faculty Senior game last,week, the Faculty has pro- tested the annual mix-up. Bill Latto pitched for the Seniors and had Prof. Calhoun, bitmg so many healthy chunks out of the atmosphere that he didn ' t know whether he was comin ' or goin ' . Finally when the Fac- ulty were hopelessly walloped in about the eighth inning. Prof. Carney rushed up to Doc. Cramblet ' s office and destroyed three of Bill ' s chapel slips which put him on proba- tion. He then called a meeting of the attendance Committee and declared Bill ineligible. Doc. looked up the slips and claimed that figures didn ' t he. Bill said no but somebody else did and things looked like they were going to resolve them- selves into a general free-for- all something like the balmy days of The Little Texas League. Finally, one student re- minded the Doc that you couldn ' t put any one out of intra-mural sports because of probation. Wilhams main- tained that it wasn ' t intra- GLEE CLUB PERFORMS The Bethany College Glee Club made its debut before the student body on May 10th. The performance was espe- cially auspicious in that it marked the appearance of six- teen brand new Tuxedos on the Chapel platform. The program consisted of numerous musical renditions and a touching dramatization of Woodyard Kindling ' s master- piece, The Shooting of Dan, the Jew. Easy Divorce Lizzie took the role of Nell and looked the part. As a dramatic organiza- tion, our Gleekers would make excellent Plumbers. mural as the faculty didn ' t participate in intra-murals . But the spectators began howl- ing about that time and the game was resumed under threat of protest. The Seniors were at bat in their half of the eighth and by this time they were quite peeved over the faculty ' s action . They started clouting the apple and before the frame ended it was necessary to call the game on account of darkness. The Seniors quit keeping tally after the fifth inning of the alTair.

The pictures are of a strikingly conventional character; at least those ;e have seen are. The head of the department ventured some rather risque affairs but they were ruled out by faculty action. We believe in art for art ' s sake but if we want to see bare limbs we ' ll go to a zoo. Some of the subjects which have already been put on exhibition are indeed wonder- ful.

Professor of Psychology and Philosophy, the Bethany Freshmen rank above the average. We knew that they were rank alright but we can ' t quite believe yet that they are ranker than we thought. Professor Leitch gave the Children the Army Alpha test. The same one that normal people took in the army to let the government know how bright they were. The result was highly edifying — especially to the Freshmen. Such ques- tions as these predominated. Q. How many fingers have Q. What ' s the difference between Bevo and Boch. A. Quite a little.
