p wextwHt OOLUEQQ UBRAWD THE BETHANIAN 19 23 PUBLISHED BY The Senior and Junior Classes OF I BETHANY COLLEGE In] BETHANY, WEST VIRGINIA T HIS volume has b en compiled with the desire to give true ex- pression to the traditions, the character and the ideals of Old Bethany. That this work may in some small way strengthen the bonds between students, alumni, and friends of our Alma Mater, is our hope; if it does this, our satis- faction will be complete. DEDICATION THE CAMPUS ADMINISTRATION CLASSES ATHLETICS ACTIVITIES FRATERNITIES ADVERTISEMENTS 47142 It is with pleasure, that we, the Classes of and ' 24, take this opportunity of expressing our appreciation to Professor H. Newton Miller, lor the varied services he has rendered to our Alma Mater, and for the friendship he extends to us all. Graduating in the class of 1897, he left Bethany to follow other lines of work, returning in 1914, to take a chair on her faculty where he has since served as Moninger Professor of Bible School Pedagogy. 1 le is among the few fortunate ones who have seen the development of a better Bethany over that of other days — an improvement brought about through the untiring efforts of men like him. Whether it be the planning of a program for Hallowe ' en or decorations for a masquerade. Professor Miller i in the forefront of the fun and vet works with tireless energy to make the occasion a success. His interest is felt in every college activity. Life in Bethany would not seem right without his sunny smile and cherry word. DEAR OLD BETH ' NY Ob Beth ' ny, Dear Old Betb ' ny, We love thy bills so green, Where thou dost sit in beauty A fair and graceful queen. We love thy golden sun. We love thy skies so blue, We love thy twinkling starlight, Thy silver moonlight too. We love thy stately buildings, Thy graceful Gothic tow ' rs, We love thy dear old Cor ' dor Where passed such happy hours. « H£ We love thy spacious campus, Thy grass and blooming flow ' rs, Tby winding walks and gateway, Thy lovely leafy bow ' rs. We love the bands that built thee. We love the souls that planned, And those who now sustain thee With means and heart and hand. , «ffi The Board of Trustees Ci.ovd Goodnight, President. II.

Since that time the wearers of the purple and white have prov- ed their worth by living up to the expectations of the other three classes. The beginning of our career marked the beginning of the career of Dr. Goodnight as President of Bethany College; so it has been our privilege to have a share in all new enterprises for the upbuilding of t he school, in order to give the classes following in our train a greater knowledge of the abilities of the class of 1923 we wish to tell, not boast- fully but with a justifiable pride, of some of our accomplishments for the glory of our Alma .Mater. The class of 1923 has had a part in every phase of college life. Prom our number has come one of the foremost athletes in the collegiate world. As a Sophomore he held the place of captain of the basket- ball team, as a Junior he led the baseball nine and as a Senior he was captain of Bethany ' s greatest football team, hour members of last year ' s debating squad, including the captain, came from our class. We have always been well represented on the staffs of the various publica- tions. Our members have taken their places in the work of the literary societies, the honorary fraternities, and the religious organizations of the school. As Freshmen we distinguished ourselves by defeating the Sophs in the Tug-of-war, a battle seldom won by the Freshman class. To further demonstrate our prowess we again claimed the same victory as Sophomores. Socially, our reputation was crowned by establishing the custom ol an annual Junior-Senior banquet. It is with a feeling of mingled satisfaction and regret that we stand at the threshold of the world ' s wide door having turned our backs upon Bethany. We feel our indebtedness to her and know that our love and devotion for our Alma Mater will increase with the coming vears. 192 3 THE BE THAN AN — 19 2 3 JUNIORS PRESIDENT SECRETARY The Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Four Colors: Orange and Black OFFICERS President ---------- Arlan S.

Merritt is a care-free chap, who cares little whether the world stands or falls. His greatest ambition is to co-operate with Pitkin and Com- pany to keep Bethany clean and sweet He confides to close friends that he may some day be an engineer. Merritt is a big hearted fel- low and especially fond of domestic animals ot the canine family. JOHN N. ADAMS At the opening of school, lack surprised his many friends by blowing in irom the Pacific Coast, rather unexpectedly. During the summer vacation he bummed his way to the Coast and returned in two months time. In his humorous manner, he frequently amuses his friends with interesting accounts of his adven- tures as a hobo. Jack ' s insusceptibility to the customary Bethany blues ' portrays his cheerful and jovial disposition He is always willing to assist in any student enterprise, and this willingness has gained him the cordial friendship of the entire student body. ROBERT WADE BELL Wade, we are quite sure attended Bethany College and lived here with us most of the week, although most any time you could find him in the ole home town of West Aleck. Every one knows he is quite likeable, but he didn ' t like the country club here, so decided to change before the year was out. We have hopes of seeing him back again lor next year. SARA BAKER Sara was awarded the highest number of votes in the popularity contest. She is so popu- lar because she is such an all-around girl. When the faculty wishes the students to take fold of. and do something, Sara is usually made chairman of the committee, and it is sure to be done well. Through her three years at Bethany, she has been an able leader not only in class work, but in athletics and all social activities. The Junior class could not get along without Sara. 192 3 THE BE T H A N I A N — 19 2 3 I III I MA BA I ES [ helma is auiet and unassuming when one firsl knows her, but half her charm lies in the fact that the more you know her the more you wanl to know her She is clever and witty and her attractive impersonations have amused the student body many limes A ' l II. WASH S BOYADJIS A ureal deal of credit is due Boyadjis for his earnest efforts He is laboring under many difficulties unknown to most of the student body. The war deprived him of his home and friends m Greece, so he came to America in search of an education, lie talks but very little, but works hard and some day he is hound to attain success through his valiant endeavors. He played football and made the regular guards hustle to make their positions secure. SARA M. CANNON Sez is a cannon of the highest order I n- like most of these dangerous weapons, no loud noise accompanies her works. Quiet and re- served, she penetrates the most difficult tasks and finishes before others have well begun. Serenely unmoved, calmly self-possessed, this cannon stands out as a leader With charming graciousness she occupies the position of secre- tary of her class, secretary of Neotrophian Lit- erary Society, Social editor of the Collegian, and a consistant worker in student activities. However, she is never too busy to have some fun, and of the jolly, she is the jolliest. GLENN CARPENTER From the time Glenn matriculated in Bethany College as a Freshman, he has been a successful leader in his class and in student activities in general. This may be attributed to the fact that if anyone assigns a task to him, that per- son can feel satisfied that it will be promptly and fully completed. Although Carp is al- ways agreeable and jovial, he is never exuber- antly frivolous. Glenn ' s activities are varied, as he is connected with the Bank. Y. M. C. A., Ministerial Association, Board of Publications and other lesser student organizations. All in ali. Glenn is one of the big men on the campus. 192 3 THE B ET H A N I A N 19 2 3 GOLDEN CLAY Golden entered our class at the beginning of our second year ana had to leave in tiie middle of this year on account of illness. While a member of the class she proved to he of great worth. Her ability to write for publications is one of her strong points. For a vear she served faithfully on the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. Her charming manner won for her a host of friends and we hope to see her in school again next year. XANTHA COOK Jolly, whole smiled, sincere and true, efficient jnA ambitious — that is Xantha. With ideals that extend infinitely high, with ambitions that know no limit, with sympathy and kindness that has no bounds, she is a girl well worth knowing. As a real cook, as a most efficient librarian, as a fine all around college girl Xantha cannot be outdone. FRANK DORNBUSH Doc. the shining light of Steubenville, alias the Steubenville Flash. Frank is big and round, and just as full of humor and fun as his size. His ambition is medicine and his recreation basket-ball. He is a jolly good hearted fellow with a warm greeting for all. FLORENCE FaRABEE Gentle and refined. Florence, like Pandora of old, possesses all the womanly graces. Good to look upon, pleasant to know, she has un- consciously taken a big place in the hearts of her class-mates. She is a willing and able worker and no task is ever too unpleasant or hard for her to do. 192 3 THE B ET H A N I A N — 19 2 3 I MM I I I FITZGERALD I it always has a smile and a cheery salu- tation for every one, I lis pleasant disposition has won lor him many friends.

YERE E. GILLESPI Gillespi is another one of Bethany ' s promis- ing ministerial students, lie is a man with a warm cheerv greeting, a broad smile, and a hearty Hello lor all whom he meets His voice has the very essence of kindness and sym- pathy. ROSEMARY GILLETTE Rosemary ' s sunny disposition and cheers ' greetings have won for her the friendship of almost everyone in school including the faculty. There ire two things characteristic of her and they ai°. that she is never seen walking alone, even f ■ om one class to another, and that she is never in a had humor. No task is ever set before her that she does not do willingly and well. She is the popular Junior who is invited to every function and always enjoys herself heartily. Mingled with all her good times. Rosemary occasionally finds time to study and is ever ready to help anyone out ol a difficulty. 192 3 — THE BE T H A N I A N — 192 3 HENRY GOEHRING Hen was so unfortunate as not to have the privilege of taking his Freshman work at Bethany, as he did not matriculate here until about the middle of his Sophomore year. This does not seem to have lessened his Bethany spirit. Although he has only been here about a year, his sincere loyalty to Bethany is un- questioned. Besides being a candidate for the baseball nine and representing his class on the basket-ball floor, Goehring has found time to tarn the reputation of being a premier math student. We predict a bright future for Henry as an engineer. DONOVAN 1 HAR I Though not as yet the editor of the New York limes or the Chicago Tribune, his efforts are bent that direction, for he already is the boss writer of the Bethany Collegian. You can see Don jogging gaily along in his Fordette most any time of the day or night, hunting up news for the most noted of bi-weeklies. It is true that his newspaper work occupies most of his time, although his achievements along other lines are not to he laughed at. WALTER HELFER Walt has decided upon the ministry for his life work and every Sunday he leaves to deliver a sermon to the church people in the surrounding villages. He is also a singer, and a member of the College Glee Club. His time is not all devoted to studies for he is a willing worker at anything he is asked to do. EDNA HIGBEE Although quiet and reserved Edna has not gone through three years of college unnoticed. She is a good student, a persistent and careful worker and never leaves undone the task she sets out to do. In basket-ball Edna had no trouble making the team and easily won her numerals. 19 2 3 THE BET H A N I AN — 19 2 3 AGNES llll DRE I II Agnes has a temperament and an individu- ality which In those who do nol know her may make her seem a little distant or bored; hut in those who know the real Agnes they find in her a heart of real gold, radiating sympathy and love al every turn. She is an outdoor girl too, and enjoys nothing better than a good swim or a rule mi her pony or a game ol basket-ball. She is a girl who is bound to achieve success ai whatever she attempts. ROBER I I) III KM Bob is small in stature, but he has a big mind, He is a great student and is dissatisfied with any grade below a B . However, he doesn ' t let his studies interfere with his social life and when there is a party to attend. Bob is right there ready for a good time His activities are not limited to studies and society, for he was a member of the Glee Club and Student Council and his ability as a leader is I el t along main lines ELIZABETH III K.IIINSOX Elizabeth is dignity and reserve personified and yet no one enjoys a good time better than she does. For two years she has served willing- ly and faithfully on the V W. C. A. Cabinet and with the Student Volunteers. We know that in the mission held lili abeth will do a splendid work and the class of ' 24 wishes her the best of success. ESTARRIS JARAS This Junior brother comes to us from the Philippine Islands. When he completes his studies in this country, he hopes to take up the ministry in his native land. Jaras always has a pleasant word and smile for every one and al- though small in sature is mighty in his work. 1 9 2 3 THE BETHANIAN 19 2 3 Fifty-seven MINNIE HEASLETT Minnie i one of the off and on students, coming to school when time permits. She is seldom seen away from her work, and almost never heard, that is unless in a quiet, hut cheery manner ARLAN S. KELLEY Arlan is the most prominent member of our class, possessing all the qualities to he desired in a student and an athlete. His big sport is football and in this branch he is a star as is shown by the fact that he is Bethany ' s l ( 2i football captain. Kelley is active in all branches of college activities. He is assistant editor of the Bethanian, a member of the Student Council, a member of the basket-ball and track teams and is president of the Junior class. Added to all these, Arlan is very popu- lar with the fair sex and with everyone who knows him EERDINAND L. KENDLE Eerdinand has returned to us after a year ' s absence. He claims Paden City as his home and is thus a native of the Mountain State. Eerdie may he seen at any time in White ' s store, where he is a very efficient worker. His ambition is to follow in the footsteps of his brother, Ernest, and become a preacher. LEWIS W. KNAPP This young man has already shown his ability in the teaching profession. After com- ing to Bethany he made good as principal of tne village school. Lewis is a wide reader, an earnest student and is ready to take part in any worthy enterprise. We predict further success- es for him 1 92 3 — THE BETHANIAN — 1923 Fifty -eight SO 11 ' RA1 I ' ll I l l I K Not athletic, not musical, but a prince in the realm of dramatics and theologies, Ralph is a real college man. Ambitious as was Caesar; but lacking the weakness ol Mark Anthony, he is going to reach the highest rungs on the lad- der of success Possessing the heart to con- ceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute. Bethany will miss him when the class of ' 24 passes into history M l i HARDY 1 ICON Mary Hardy returned to Bethany the middle of this year after having been away a year and a half, attending the University of Wis- consin. Everyone welcomed the jolly little Kentuckian and she was able to take up the position she had two years ago as one ol the most popular girls in school. I ler Million Dollar Smile has won for her a host of friends and no one enjoys a good time like Mary 1 lardy does. FRANCIS LOVE The one bright and glaring feature which characterizes Francis and distinguishes him from the common run of mortals is his flaming thatch of red hair. I ' nlike the typical red head he possesses a well governed temper. ' Red is primarily a good student ; hut he has not allowed his academic work to prevent him from justly earning the title of the handiest man to local histrionic attempts in Bethany, because whenever any kind of a play is to be given Red is always consulted about scenery and its making. His constant willingness has gained for him the admiration of all who come into contact with him. MARY I OVE Whether to know Mary in the class room or on the campus, to associate with her in the life of the college is indeed a pleasure. I ler jolly nature, her true friendliness, her ever present willingness to do her share has won her many friends. A girl with high ambitions and noble aspirations, Mary has proven herself a worthy member of the class of ' 24 19 2 3 — THE BE THA N I A N — 19 2 3 GEORGE MASSEY George supposedly has it all figured out that the man who makes the biggest noise is not alwavs the smartest, and so to be on the sate side. goes about his work in a rather quiet fash- ion. Yes, he is a student also a ministerial, so that makes him a real ministerial student, does it not? He isn ' t much of an agitator of new enterprises, but give him something to do, and watch him go. WILLIAM MATHEWS Bill is the handy man of the athletics. When it comes to fixing up sprains and bruises. Bill is right there. He is dependable and may be seen any afternoon with his little satchel of linament and gauze, ready to fix up an in- jury of anv kind. Bill ' s only failing is his affinity for Wellsburg, but there ' s a reason. However he is a hard, conscientious worker and is bound to succeed. MARY JANE MILLER Marv lane and sunshine are closely connect- ed in our minds for her bright hair and Irish smile soon dispel gloom. Since to be seen and not heard, is her motto we see her name more frequently on the honor roll than we hear her voice in college activities. She is a true and loyal friend and the better we know her the better we like her. HARRIET MORRIS When we think of Harriet majoring in Chemistry it makes us smile, but when it comes to making an A on an exam she is right there. When asked to characterize her, the usual reply is she ' s full of pep. Just to hear her jazz Lovin ' Sam will affirm this state- ment. When it comes to playing basket-ball. Hattie makes the underclass girls sit up and take notice. 1923 THE BETH A NIA N — 192 3 Gi ft Cl A.RENCE I) Mil KIN This budding genius will no doubt some day blossom forth as a greal musician, for he is already the Paderewski of our class As pian- ist tor the Glee Club, he aroused the favorable comment of musical critics everywhere he went This is not all. lor he has a wide range of inter- ests winch till his lite loo lull lor entangling alliances and may lead to a hie of single bless- edness si I PHI N Ml R.RAY Though his stature may In- little Still his iiiniil can net be small - Work and study is his slogan, Belo-u.- a B hi- must not tail. tin! do not think he is a bookwo ' that would never do at all; — fust an all around good fellow, Who said doctor ' — that ' s his call IRENE E.

As for delicious meals few persons excel Irene in her power to concoct dainty dishes A diligent worker in whatever falls to her lot to do. she is a girl to be counted on. Rl ill M KINNIS Although seemingly very quiet and dignified. Ruth is just as full of fun as she can be. She came from Kansas and knows all about shoot- ing and horse-back riding. Ruth has taken a very active part in all college work, especially in the religious line. She was elected president of the Student Volunteer Band and proved an able leader. We know that she will make a success of her chosen work, which is to be a medical missionary. 1 92 3 — THE BETHANIAN 19 2 3 liSmmWrnm Wm BERNARDO NEC RON Our friend Bernardo comes to us from Porto Rico. He is one of our earnest, hard working students, and expects to follow the teaching pro- fession. He takes part in all college activities, especially the college band and Christian En- deavor KENNETH REED He brings his good nature, concentration, and business-like way from Northwestern Ohio. Kenneth is an honorable member of Cochran Hall and an earnest student, and a gentleman. His ambition is the ministry and we wish him success and happiness in his chosen work. DAVID ERVIN SHEETS Collegiately speaking. D. Ervin seems some- what of an enigma. A ministerial student and with apparently no care under the sun. 1 hat light-hearted exterior that makes him popular on the stage, at the party or at home , hides a nature that has found the real truths of life. His vocal aspirations cause us to think he is musically inclined, so that we are almost sure that whatever the Shimmying Parson under- takes is bound to end with a grand finale. MAYNARD SHIPLEY Ship comes to us from Old Baltimore. His favorite song used to be Floating Down the Chesapeake Bay. but more recently he has been emploving his tuneful art in singing lullabys. Ship is an earnest student, and though a bit sober is very likable and is ap- preciated most by those who know him best. We are both wishing and expecting some fine things from this member of the class of ' 24. 1923 — THE B ET H A N I A N — 1923 M K I HA M SLEE Martha is the dreamer of the class but we ' ve heard it said that it is the dreamer who amounts to something. Her fairy stories have fascinated many people when they have appeared in different publications. Besides writing idealistic tilings, she enjoys writing amusing incidents and her poems on the Map- per delighted many readers of the Collegian. No one enjoys a good time more than Martha and as a forward on the basket-ball team she helped the upper classmen win many games I.. B. STEVENSON Born aid reared in the same neighborhood as the late A. McLean, Mr. Stevenson, or Steve, as a few dare to call him, came to Bethany a few years ago from Western Canada. Always studying or preaching, we haven ' t seen much of him, and although quiet and unassum- ing, he has won a host of friends because of the strength of his Christian character. As a minister we are sure he will be an effective ser- vant of Christ, whether m this country or in his native land. Hold. IS TURLEY Hollis has been with us but two years, having had some work in college previous to coming here, but he is now making an effort to make up for lost time. When the hand needed a real mellophone player, Turley was summoned and as in everything else, he came through with the necessary goods. WILLIAM ITRNBULL Bill hails from Patterson, New Jersey. Early and late he is constantly on the go com- pleting his numerous tasks, but he is never too busy for a clever bit of humor, lie hopes to go to Johns Hopkins after graduation. We know he will be successful because of the zeal and vim he puts into all of his work. 19 2 3 — THE BETHANIAN 19 2 3 JULIA C. WARREN What would we do without Judy? Her artis- tic talent may he seen in almost every phase of college work. It was Judy who helped make the Japanese scene for the Home-Coming pro- duction, it was she who made the big football posters and her work may be seen throughout this book. Not only does her talent lie in an artistic line, but there is never a Collegian pub- lished but what it contains some of Judy ' s work. She is never too busy or tired to say yes when asked to do anything. She is a staunch guard mi the basket-ball team and a member of the Woman ' s Athletic Association ALLAN RLID ILHLL.M Athletic Willie is that big silver-topped boy who hails from Cameron, that struts about the campus. If he and Prof. Weimer don ' t fall out. and if the remainder of the faculty feels kindly disposed, it is likely Allan will graduate with a B.S. degree at some time. We know that he is always blowing off or else he could not be the solo cornetist of the band. Just the same, hours of work that this pep kid has to put in are not a source of worry to him. for he is planning to become an exponent of the medical profession. EDWIN WELLS Last September, Eddie ' s many friends regret- ted to hear that he had entered Yale instead ot returning to Bethany, but ' ere many weeks passed, his better judgment prevailed and he returned to Bethany. All hail the power of our Alma Mater because Ed is a valuable part of our student body. He is an industrious student and a high class athlete. He enters whole-heartedly into any task set before him, be it in studies or athletics, and this has gained the admiration of both students and faculty. NOEL WELLS Noel is one of Bethany ' s own products, hav- ing spent just about all of his life, so far here, but that seems to be more of a boost than a drawback to our friend. Though still quite young, he is making a real showing in basket- ball and in his class work, so that success seemingly can ' t be taken from his grasp. 192 3 — THE BETH AN I AN 192 3 K U W01 FORD Ray comes from .1 little town in Ohio, with the Bible name oi Ml Gilead lie is loyal i the did home town and is planning to give his life to the ministry. Ray is .1 busy fellow. always working; he ' s never too busy to oblige or give a helping hand. He is a reliable, lik- able fellow, a consistent bizzer and an earnest industrious student. EARI ZOOK Earl is another outstanding man in school and is a good student as well as an athlete. He displays his versatility by being a member of the Harbinger Staff, member of the Student Council, Captain of the Bison ' s 1923 baseball team as well as displaying great ability in foot- ball, basket-ball and track. Earl is very popu- lar with the students and people of Bethany and his little character sketches in the Har- binger have attained a high point of popularity. It is very seldom one finds such a wide range of talents in one person, but Zook is one ol the few exceptions. I I 92 3 — THE BETH A N I A N 19 2 3 Sixty-five History of the Class of 1924 In the fall of 1 1 2() a group of Freshmen, full of enthusiasm and pep came to old Bethany ' s halls. We were characteristic of all such classes, green as the campus to which we came. We were defeated in both the (lag rush and tug of war by the domineering Sophomores, as all Freshmen classes should be. However, we took our defeat like thev took victory and went on to prove our worth as both scholars anil athletes. At the end of our first year we parted with high hopes and an earnest resolve to return the next year and give our best to Bethany. We realized that the college had taken on new life and new spirit. As Sophomores we added to this by being well represented on all varsity teams and in all student activities. We won the intramural basket-ball tournament and the track meet just to pro e that the class of 1 924 was a real class, ever up and doing. We are now Juniors. Some of our classmates have deserted us and others have come to take their places, but one has gone whose place can never be filled by another. We are still striving to give our Alma .Mater our best and in so doing have contributed four members to the debating teams, the captain-elect of the football team, besides those on the various staffs of the college papers and in all other college activities. Our three years in Bethany have gone quickly and next year we will return to take the place of the class of 1023. It is our desire to fill as well as they have, the roll of Seniors. 19 2 3 — THE BE T H A N I A N — 192 3 Sophomores f ' i ■ ' ■■ I PRESIDENT SECRETARY The Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Five Colors: Gold and White.

Distinctly we remember that drear September day, 1921, when with fear and trembling just tinged with excitement we made our way for the first time tip the hill. Though we were green to the Sophomores, still we carried in our hearts the satisfying assurance that no previous class had entered under such high requirements and consequently, though fresh , we were not to be despised. The Sophs soon learned this fact for we gave them a royal battle in the annual flag rush. Even after they had enter- tained our largest boys with one of those famous stag parties the night before, they won only with great difficulty. On May Day, although we were defeated in the Tug-of-War, we made a very credit- able showing in the track meet. This year the class won very easily the new contest which has supplanted the flag-rush and we feel we have done our duty in regard to the discipline of the present Freshman class. As a class we have been interested in all phases of college life. Both years our members have filled places in the College Glee Club. The Band, too. has drawn from our ranks. Dramatically, we have some of the school artists. In athletics, many a valiant wearer of the green on Bethany ' s teams is of the class of ' 25. In these two eventful years in Bethany we have learned many lessons both in and out of our class rooms. The spirit of Bethany ' s founders, the loyalty of all her sons and the high principles for which she has always stood are lasting things which we will take with us. Mav we throughout our lives be true to them and to our Alma .Mater. 1 92 3 THE B ET H A N I A N — 19 2 3 ' • FRESHMEN % SECRE ' The Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Six OFFICERS President -------- Edgar L.

Being a modest class we determined to let time prove our worth rather than to pour our praises upon the empty air. Our importance as a class was soon shown for the Sophomores early in our career provided us much pleasant entertainment. Attempts to re- taliate, on account of inexperience, were vain. Realizing the need for organization, we elected officers which in- cluded our representatives in the Student Council. Grievous were the tribulations which followed these elections. With a feeling of might and strength we entered the field of battle but alas ' we were vanquished. Bravely we championed woman but lost our scalps for the trouble. Twelve worthy men became shorn lambs . Though defeated on the field of battle we shone in athletics. On the football squad we were represented by Neel, Walther, Barr, Kidder, Lacock and Loppacker; in basket-ball by Neel and Loppacker. But the greatest victory of all was the winning of the Intramural Basket- ball Cup from the proud and haughty Sophs. The College Glee Club could not exist this year without the mem- bers furnished by 1926 — Ward, Stimmel, Kidder, Saler, 1 lemington, Moore and Sala. Our members also have found prominent places on the College Band, among them being Grace Farabee, Ben Stimmel, Francis Hibler, Jack Harrison, David I lemington, and Conwell lliggins. Looking back over this, our first year in Bethany, we feel justly proud of the place our class has taken in college activities. 19 2 3 THE BETH AN AN 1 9 2 3 19 2 3 =_ THE BE T H A N I A N — 192 3 Seventy-tour mmcs Athletic Board of Control Chairman --------- W.

To Easterday goes the entire credit for the spectacular performance of the back field. Although the squad was hindered constantly from the first of the season by injuries, Katy instilled into the men that spirit that often caused their opponents to think them irresistible. Katy seems to have acquired that traditional Bethany spirit and works long hours to produce teams worthy of representing Bethany. MORROW One ol the players expressed the sentiment of everyone around Bethany who knew Dave Morrow when he said ' Dave ' Morrow is the cleanest, squarest, brainest football coach I have ever played under. To Coach Morrow goes the credit of mould- ing and developing the greatest line that ever represented Bethany, lie put his whole-souled enthusiasm into his teaching; and although he is a strict disciplinarian, he possessed the unanimous good will of the men under him. lie is also a firm believer in clean athletics, and at all times, impressed the fact on the players that there is more to a football game than just winning it. Every- one wishes him the best of luck in his new position, except when Bethany and YV. J. clash. 19 2 3 THE BETHANIAN — 19 2 3 Seventy-se ven Seventy-eight BCl I) Since assuming the duties of Graduate Manager, Boyd has also assumed several other positions, of varying difficulties, i. e. those of matrimony and of Alumni Secretary. Bui in no way did these interfere with his duties as Athletic Director, Under his management the Bisons played through the most difficult schedule any Bethany team has ever undertaken, fhrough his hard work, we were able to schedule and defeat high class representative East- ern and Central-western institutions, which greatly boosted our standing and reputation. We regret thai he has deckled to cast his lot elsewhere, and both Alumni and students join in wishing him the best of luck in any enterprise he may undertake DARS1E The fact that this was Leigh ' s .second successive year as football manager is a testimonial of his ability It is probably no exaggeration to say that Darsie handled his position just a bit more capably than any other student might have done, because of his previous ex- perience, lie was constantly on the job; and while on trips he willingly took care of all the slight details, that usually discommode the players. Doubtlessly his suc- cessor will have a difficult time filling Leigh ' s place as efficiently as he did. RANDOLPH Randy , like tobacco, seems to improve with age. Playing his fourth and last year on the squad. Randy displayed a brand of football that gained the attention of national football critics, including Walter Camp. As Captain, he was an ideal leader — always fighting hard and exhorting his team-mates to greater effort. Mis work was perhaps described best by Pat Page, coach of the Butler team, whose team was defeated largely through Randy ' s ' wonderful running. Page said, That boy Randolph could make any team in the country, not even barring the ' Big Three ' . 192 3 — THE BE T H A N I A N — 19 2 3 KELLY For the third successive year. Kelly brought his admirers to their feet time and time again, by his sensational running. If Arlan stands out in any one particular phase of offensive work, it is running back punts and catching passes. Arlan is smaller than the majority of college back-field stars, but his size seems to be an asset because he fairly skims over the ground, eluding all oppon- ents. The success of the 1923 team under his leadership is practi- cally assured G. KIDDER Pop is a veteran of three years experience; this was notice- able, not through any loss of youthful pep, but through the finished way in which he played his position. He was constantly fighting and never knew when to stop tearing up the opposing line. 1 lis absence from the 1923 squad will he a distinct loss; but the mem- ory of his fighting spirit will he an example for young linemen of the future. COLLER Floyd must absolutely he a close relative of Old Man Hard Luck, because just about the time Coller hit his stride at end, his knee was severely injured. Although unable to stand the strain of a whole game, Floyd gave his best to Bethany, when he was in there. ADKINS Dave belongs to that class of athletes who get hurt, but never mention it until they fall. Built close to the ground, Roy was probably the hardest man on the line to take out of a play. Although seldom spectacular, he was very consistent. Dave played some of the best games of his career while suffering from, and handicapped by a broken jaw. 192 3 THE BETHANIAN 19 2 3 GEPFORD To Ski belongs a large share of some of the most notable victories of the season. Playing the quarter-hack position, he did not have much opportunity for starring, but he played the game that kills , i. e. running, and breaking up interference, like a star. While directing the team, he displayed a judgment of right plays and general knowledge of the game rarely seen. Sunshine ' s experience will be a valuable asset in building a win- ning team next vear. SHOEMAKE Shoe has rightfully been termed the Most finished line- man ever produced in Bethany College . To watch Hub play was a keen delight and revelation. He always seemed to take out his man with apparent ease. And his long distance and accurate placing, in punts, decided the breaks in more than one game With his experience, he certainly ought to be a bulwark of strength on next vear ' s team. ZOOK For the second year in succession, Earl was forced to quit football early in the season because of injuries. During the first few games. Zook was displaying a clever and hard game at the terminal position, but received a fractured shoulder in the Grove City game, that incapacitated him for the rest of the schedule. Earl showed great promise as an end because of his extraordinary speed and his rangy build. Great things can be expected of him next year if he is successful in escaping Old Man Jinx. FITZGERALD As a field general, Fit , has few superiors. Although diminu- tive in stature, he possesses a keen knowledge of football tactics, which makes him a successful and dependable man to direct the team. He also possesses that quality of leadership which enables him to make the men under him play to their utmost capacity. His cheerfulness and encouragement aid much to lessen the hard- ships of the daily practice. 192 3 — THE BETHANIAN 19 2 3 Eighty-one BROADLEY II first impression means anything, the first sight of Broadley must have weakened many an opponent ' s morale. Being only six feet four inches tall, he is the giant of our squad. Karl was handicapped the greater part of the season by injuries. But he found himself the last two games. And certainly anyone who saw the Bethany-Wesleyan game at Clarksburg will not forget the wonderful brand of football he put up there, even in defeat. V KIA Mack did not say much on the football field, but he could always he counted on to do his part when it came to action, lie was a veritable tower of strength on the defense, and a very hard man to stop on the offense. Ills willingness and plugging spout made him a valuable asset to the squad. CRANF1LL Pats certainly lived up to his advance reputation as a real find in the backfield. His defensive work, in backing up the line, left little to be desired. And everyone was so sure of his ground-gaining ability, that when we needed a few yards to com- plete downs, the cry was Give it to Cranny . And Cranny invariably came through Ills tackling might be termed fero- cious, yet it was clean; while his line-plunging ability makes him almost irresistible. Great things are looked for from Cranny next fall. MAYER Mayer was one of the most consistent fighters for the termi- nal positions. He always played a hard, heady game; but it was in his defensive work that he excelled, because he turned in some ol the hardest and cleanest tackles ever seen on the local gridirons. And always proved a hard man for the opposing team ' s inter- ference to take out of a play. i-W( ' 19 2 3 — T HE BET H AN I AN — 19 2 3 Eighty-two PR] [ CHARD Ted came to lis originally as a backfield candidate, but when at the beginning of the season, the team lacked a center, Ted ' s fighting qualities recommended him for that position. and he rapidly developed into a very capable center. I lis passing was snappy and accurate and his defensive work was of the highest order While playing roving center, he broke up or inter- cepted many forward passes. With tins year ' s experience, he should be a valuable nucleus to build next year ' s team around. LIDDERDALE Joe, after a year ' s absence from school, certainly displayed a delightful brand of football at the end position Throughout the season he always played a consistent game. His defensive work was of the hard, smashing type, and was always of the highest calibre. While his ability to grab in forward passes was almost uncanny; as was also his aggressiveness and success in blocking and recovering punts. TOWNSEND By was the lightest lineman to earn his B , but he re- ceived it because of his fighting spirit. He showed just as much stamina and aggressiveness as any man on the squad. What he lacked in avoirdupois, he made up in skill. And he covered himself with glory by his wonderful playing against Wesleyan in the last game of the season. With two years more to play, he should prove himself a bulwark of strength LOPPACKER .Midge is not heavily built but the way he stopped the W. lV J. backs and others, by his cool headed shoe-string tackling was a revelation, and a pleasure to see. But he did not excel alone in defensive work, because against Rutgers he electrified the crowd by an eighty-yard return of a punt. That did much to turn the victory toward Bethany. As Loppy is a first-year man. he should contribute much to Bethany ' s name through his athletic prowess. 1 9 2 3 THE BETHANIAN — 19 2 3 Eighty-thre STOBBS That Stobbs is like a stone-wall, was a comment frequently heard in early season practice. And Hugh fully justified this judgment in the first games. He was playing a stellar game against . cv J . when he received a fractured arm which kept him out the rest of the season. If his injury completely heals by next season, Hugie should he able to hold down a backfield berth regularly. Personnel of 1922 Football Squad Name Position Heigh Randolph H B 5 ' 11 Kidder, Geo. ...

I hen success m this undertaking may be judged from the following resume: HI- I ll.WY 2S MORRIS-HARYhY The Bisons got off to a good start in the first game of the season and defeated Morris-Harvey 25-0. The victors were limited to the use of only a few plays as numerous scouts from other teams were present. I he Bison team gave evidence of gieat latent power; and many of the new men showed up particularly well WASHINGTON JEFFERSON 19— BETHANY 7 Before an estimated crowd of 9,000 spectators, Bethany went down to a glorious defeat before W. J. by a score of l u -7. The game was a hotly contested battle throughout and at times it looked as though Bethany would emerge the victor. Randy ' s long runs and the blocking of one oi Brenkert ' s punts by Shoemake were the high lights of the game. In the final period West made a thirty yard gain thai cinched the game for W. J. and took the pep out of the lighting Bisons. BETHANY 14 -GROVE CITY On October 14th the powerful Grove City team fell before the Bison machine 14-0. Both teams were nearly equal in strength and Bethany won only t ' lrou.h a better ability to follow the ball. It was in this game that the Bison team first hit its stride. The first touchdown came as a result of Lidderdale ' s recovery ol two fumbles, followed by powerful plunging by the backfield. I he second touch- down resulted directly from a spectacular sixty yard run by Kelly. Shoemake kicked two perfect goals following the touchdowns. There were no outstanding stars as the whole team played a wonderful game. BETHANY 14— Rutgers 7 This glorious victory, which added so materially in spreading our lame throughout the East, was accomplished only through the defeat of the large .t college team in the East. It was achieved because the Bisons outfought, out- charged, outran and outscored a lighting Rutgers. Such a crushing defeat had newer been seen on Neilson (Rutgers ' ) Field before. At the end of the firsl hall Rutgers led 7-0; and it was only in the last five minutes of play that Bethany staged a magnificent rally and won the game by adding another touchdown and safety. The credit for the victory does not belong to the backfield alone, for the line throughout the game displayed a stonewall defense and a spectacular offen e BETHANY 52— GEORGE WASHINGTON On their fust appearance in Wellsburg, the Bisons delighted an enthusiastic Home-coming crowd and clearly outclassed the team from George Washington University. Although several of our regulars were injured and not able to play, never once did the Capitol team threaten Bethany ' ; goal line. George Washington piesented a well-drilled team, game and lighting, hut they were completely over- whelmed by the superior work of the Bisons. Kelley was the star of the game, advancing the ball about 200 yards, although he was hard pressed lor honors by Neel, who made 160 yards. BETHANY 12— WAYNESBURG 10 Due to the decisive victories of the two previous Saturdays, Bethany entered the Waynesburg contest greatly overconfident. But our squad was quickly dis- illusioned as they truly met a tartar in the Wolf-pack . At the end of the first period, the score was Waynesburg 10-Bethany 0. And it was only through supreme 192 3 THE BETHANIAN — 19 2 3 efforts in the second half that the Bisons finally emerged the victors bv the close margin 12-10. Cranfill, Randolph, and Adkins played a wonderful game despite their serious injuries. BETHANY 7— OHIO UNIVERSITY In one of the hardest, most thrilling games seen at the Wheeling field in several seasons. Bethany triumphed over the strong Ohio University team 7-0. On two different occasions the Bisons marched nearly the entire length of the field but Ohio, with their backs to the goal posts, turned our team back both times. In the last half our team became desperate; and, after completing a thirty yard pass to Kelley, Cranfill. Randolph and Kelley plunged their way almost to the goal line, where Cranny took it over. The Buckeyes displayed one of the most adept forward passing games of any used against Bethany this season: and our victory was in i.leed well earned. BETHANY 20— MARIETTA 7 Although crippled by the t wo previous games, Bethany presented a lineup sufficiently strong to defeat Marietta 20-7. The game was played in a field of mud and water but this did not prevent spectacular open field running by Neel and Kelley. Morrow held the Bisons in leash; and, after allowing the Varsity to make three touchdowns, sent in the substitutes, who all displayed a good brand of foot- ball. Marietta was not able to score until the last two minutes of play when the breaks of the game paved the way for their only touchdown. BETHANY 20— BUTLER 7 On November _2 t h . Betham spread her fame throughoul the Middle West In crushing Butler College 29-7. Butler had defeated some of the strongest teams in that section, losing only to Notre Dame. The ultimate outcome of the game was never in doubt after the first five minutes of play because of Bethany ' s superiority in teamwork and field generalship. No team ever went into a game with the odds so against them and yet won such a smashing victory as Bethany did against Butler. Randolph, in his last home appearance for the Green and White, played the best game of his career. The Bisons would have gained a shut-out victory if Butler, aided by darkness, had not slipped a touchdown over in the last five seconds of play. WESLEYAN 3— BETHANY 2 Wesleyan, largely assisted by Bethany ' s overconfidence, defeated the Bisons 3-2, in the final game of Bethany ' s most glorious season. Bethany played only mediocre footfall; Wesleyan won. not through a superior team or superior play- ing, but, because the Bison team hit a decided slump. It was a post-season game and its consequent effects, coupled with overconfidence. accounts tor Bethany ' s defeat.

Nineteen games were played and although ten of these were lost, eight were lost by less than six points and two by one point. The big feature of this season was the comeback of our squad following the loss of eight consecutive games during a period when the team seemed unable to throw off the jinx . Our men fought hard but the breaks of the games seemed to go against them, particularly in those games played on foreign floors. The first call for candidates brought to Coach Easterday thirty men, among them several of last year inter-class basket-ball players. There were five letter- men back from last year, namely, Captain Gepford, Zook, Wells, Shoemake, and Kellev, to again fight for their B . These five with Patterson, a letterman of the 1921 squad, and Gill, were the seven men to make their letters this year. 1 he team started off bad. But in every game in every way the squad got better and better, under the tutelage of Coach Easterday. The schedule arranged for this year was the most difficult ever attempted by any Bethany five. The Bison floormen were pitted against such quintets as Penn State, Pitt, Duquesne, Gr ove City, Bucknell, Carnegie Tech. and YV. Va. Wesleyan. Bethany ' s most notable victories were over Carnegie Tech and W. Va Wesleyan, and Bucknell. The opening of this season saw Bethany in the newly organized Tri-State Intercollegiate Basket-ball League. The colleges in it are Grove City, Duquesne. Westminster, Waynesburg, Thiel, Geneva and Bethany. Bethany played only a few of these teams, her schedule having been arranged before the league was organ- ized. We finished in fourth place with two of our men being given special honor; Gill being placed on the first all Tri-State team and Gepford on the second. Though this year ' s five did not hang up any remarkable record, we can live in bright prospects for l c 24. Gill is the only one to be lost by graduation as all the rest are Juniors except Patterson, who is a Sophomore. Around this nucleus, with the development of several inter-class stars. Coach Easterday should be able to build a great combination for the floor next year; a team which will be up near the top, if not at the top of the league. 19 2 3 — THEBETHANIAN — 19 2 3 192 3 — TH E BETH AN I AN — 19 2 3 Eighty-eight II o I) A C0L1 ER Coller, a veteran ol two years on the basket-ball squad, decided to let someone else play in his place, but unwilling to entirely cease his athletic activities, he be- came the efficient manager of the 1923 varsity. Our boys thought that Floyd was a jinx on their trips, so they left linn al home for one game, and they won. But our hats are oil to Floyd, who always had the best interests of the college and team at heart. SIDNEY GEP FORD Captain Gepford, of Bethany, plays a fast and clean game. He is a good leader, and his consistent and hard work has won for him the well deserved confidence of his team-mates. Gep managed to make one or more field goals in every game, which is indeed an enviable record for a guard, lie was selected as guard and captain on the second Tri-State team. ROBERT PATTERSON Patty , a steady, clean and aggressive point getter, was al- ways in the game and always following the hall 1 lis floor work was one of the outstanding features of every game played on the home floor. However. Bob ' s greatest contribution to the team was in his foul shooting, where he accurately and consistently registered points for Bethany; and incidentally, he often kept his team in the running, through this ability. Pat was second highest scorer for Bethany. As captain of the l u 24 team. Pat should lead his team through one of Bethany ' s most successful basket-ball seasons. 19 2 3 THE BETH AN I AN — 19 2 3 EARL ZOOK Although hindered by football injuries, Zookie was far above par. Earl was one of Bethany ' s greatest floormen as he was an accurate passer and started many a play which resulted in a basket. It was very seldom that he shot for the basket that the scorer failed to register two more points for Bethany. He was an expert diagnostician of the opponent ' s plays and dis- played great ability in breaking them up RUSSELL GILL Another one of the cagemen who came Last, fall and lanky, he was an exceptionally good floorman, beside being chief point-maker for the team Hank was the eighth highest scorer m the Tri-State league, which was an honor, as Bethany played the least number of games with league teams of anv college in the league. This is Gill ' s first and last year and his graduation will be a distinct loss to the team. He was chosen as center on the First All- 1 ri-State League team. HLBBARD SHOEMAKE Hub , the other guard, again proved his worth as a basket- ball player. When it came to breaking up plays, he had no equal on the team. He usually held his man to few if any field goals, and to break the monotony of stationary guard, Shoe would occasionally add two points to our score with a long shot. 19 2 3 THE BE THA N I A N 192 3 - y I: 11 I S Fortunately for the basket-ball team, the call of Old Bethany was too strong lor Eddie and he returned from Yale Due to his rangy build, he apparently covers the whole floor at one time and is the main cog around which Bethany ' s is built. Frequently Eddie has a very desirable habit of looping in field goals from all parts of the door, as m the Duquesne game Ed, also has the distinction of out-jumping practically every opposing center whom he met this year. ARLAN KELLEV Although Arlan was handicapped by football injuries and only played in a few games this season, he showed the same fight and speed which characterizes all his playing. His aggressiveness and endurance were a deciding factor in more than one important victory this year. As he is only a Junior, he has another oppor- tunity to again earn his B next year.

But during the season many things seemed to militate against the squad which hindered it from again becoming collegiate state champions. Bad weather deprived the squad of a chance lor earls practice and the consequent lack of condition was particularly noticeable throughout the first hall of the season. Also there was a dearth of material for the infield positions and an extra catcher had to be developed into an infield plaver. So that the season was almost half over before the Bisons really got started. After winning the first two games by decisive scores, over-confidence seemed to take possession of their destiny and they lost five successive games before they were able to pull out of the slump. But after they finally started to light and to play the ball the men were capable of play- ing, they won eleven out oi the remaining fifteen games, defeating such teams as W. a. Wesleyan (4 games), Duquesne University (2 games), Michigan Aggies (2 games). Waynesburg, Grove City and Pittsburgh Collegians. During Com- mencement Week the squad finished the season in a brilliant fashion by over- coming the strong Michigan Aggies twice and the Pittsburgh Collegians once. Also, by winning eight out of the thirteen tri-state on her schedule, Bethany was given third place in the Tri-State ranking. In Randolph. Wells, Pritchard and Pour, the 1022 squad possessed four moundsmen who were on a par with any collegiate hurlers in the country. Ran- dolph and Wells alternately played first base when not pitching and along with Laporte, Roark, Brown and Elliott formed a fast and experienced infield. While Zook, Smith and C. Gehring very satisfactorily took care of the outfield positions. 19 2 3 — THE BET H AN I A N 19 2 3 Track Last year saw the first inter-class track meet in Bethany, the Sophomores win- ning with the Seniors a close second. The outstanding men were Zook in the dashes, and hurdles, Kelley with the hammer, Broadley with the shot-put, Hess with the javelin, W ' ilhelm in distance, and Riblet in jumping. Equipment was later purchased and the men practic ed faithfully for the coming meets. A team composed of Zook, Riblet, Kelley, Broadley and Idleman was sent to Pittsburgh to participate in the University of Pittsburgh Inter-collegiate meet. In the hundred and two twenty dashes Zook took first place, winning from the fastest sprinters in the Tri-State District, two of whom had taken part in the Olympic games. The other men placed in various events. In the fall, a cross country meet was held with Carnegie Tech. Our men lost to a team which was superior only because of training and coaching. This spring, one or more inter-class meets will be held, preparatory to a duel meet which is scheduled with W. Va. University. A team will also be sent to the Pitt and W. J. Inter-collegiate meets. The material in college is of the very highest calibre and with a little training and coaching, a squad can be rounded out which will bring honor and glory to Old Bethanv. 19 2 3 — THE B ET H A N I A N — 1923 FRESHMEN CHAMPIONS i , ' ' J J. 3U. - % - TJ ilN ' iis Licet lj. Inter-Class Basket-Ball— Men This year the inter-class basket-ball league surpassed that of last season. The schedule started before the football season was over and men on the football squad were barred. The class teams practiced regularly and attained the best possible results. There were two rounds of games. In the first round the Seniors, Juniors and Freshmen tied for first place. The second round saw the Sophomores at the head, the Seniors and Freshmen tied for second, and the Juniors at the foot. The teams were fairly evenly matched, and no one knew the result of any game until the whistle blew. This inter-mural league is annually gaining for itself a larger place in the winter activities of the school as it provides both entertainment and recreation for a large majority of the students. 19 2 3 — THE BE T H A N I A N 19 2 Inter-Class Basket-Ball — Women The women ' s inter-class basket-ball games, though not open to the general student body, were conducted with much enthusiasm. The Junior and Senior girls combined forces and carried away the honors. The majority of the mem- bers of the championship team were veterans from the Sophomore team ol 1921- l ' )22. that won the cup for that year. 19 2 3 — THE B ET H A N I A N 19 2 3 ejt Jfe M Women ' s Athletic Association The Women ' s Athletic Association of Bethany College was founded in 1921 bv a few courageous girls who believed in better womanhood and consequently a better student body. The organization, being comparatively new. has had little time in which to become effective but in the short time since its founding it has accomplished great things. Every member is expected to live daily the kind of life that will enable her to live up to her fullest capacity in both work and play. The opening of the swimming pool was followed by the organization of girls ' classes and much friendly rivalry has been the impetus in helping girls to become accustomed to water. During the last half of the semester the Association concerned itself mostly with the hiking club, baseball, tennis tournaments, and to some extent, with track. These few girls are the pioneers of what they hope will be a great organization and one that will play a large part in Bethany student life in the future.

It has been our aim to portray the everyday life of the College year, as faithfully and completely as possible; we have made some few changes in the compilation of the material, which we hope will aid in doing this. The College can be seen from many viewpoints, our vision is limited, therefore we beg consider- ation in your criticism.

To the casual observer the results of the organization ' s efforts have not been so evident, but those closely connected with the conduct of affairs about the college are aware of many improvements that have come about at the instigation of the Council. The work has been divided among three main committees, — Educational, Social, and Athletic. The Educational Committee has considered many problems from the student standpoint, and has brought these matters to the attention of the administration. Steps have been taken toward the installation of Phi Beta Kappa, an honorary national scholastic fraternity. The calendar of activities has been under the supervision of this committee with the result that an orderly schedule of meetings has been arranged. The Social Committee has made and carried out plans for the opening social, the Masquerade, Home-coming, and May Day, all of which have been very successful from the social viewpoint. The Athletic Committee has supervised inter-class activities, and has organized Pep for athletic contests so that Bethany has earned the appellation of The Howling Three Hundred. The Student Council has not accomplished everything its members desired, nor all that many others have expected, yet these short-comings cannot be ascribed to any lack of effort on the part of Council Members. 19 2 3 — THE BETHANIAN 19 2 3 Ninety-nine The Student Council President ---------- Frank Helme Vice-President -------- Arlan Kelly Secretary -------- - Lois Springer Grace Lee Arlan Kelly Mae Yoho Earl Zook Margaret Ryan Lois Springer Frank Helme Fred Ellis Denton McCormick Normal Ward Sara Baker Allan Devitt Julia Warren Everett Loppacker 1 9 2 3 THE BETH AN I AN 192 3 40 19 2 3 — THE BET H AN I AN — 19 2 3 One hundred one Bethany Pep Green and White, Fight, fight; Green and White.

Former boards of publication have undertaken a more pretensive program with the result that the 1922-23 board faced a financial limitation, upon its inauguration. Soon after the organization of the board, last fall, an entire financial program was laid out and specific amounts of funds allotted to each publication. Each publication has thereby en- deavored to live within its means this year. We feel that in spite of our financial handicap, we have given a set of publications which, in a fair way, at least is representative of Bethany College. We hope that by our economy the succeeding board and staffs may be able to expend much more next year and may be able to enlarge our papers. The Bethanian. an almost wholly student body publication, is subscribed to one hundred per cent by the student body and faculty. Unfortunately the alumni subscriptions are very few. The Harbinger, which should be an Alumni publication, is still being supported by the student body and a few loyal alumni. The Collegian reaches more readers than either of the other two publications. Besides reaching all the faculty and students, it is sent to a larger number of alumni and friends, and is kept in the exchange files of many of our sister institutions as well as on the mailing lists for a number of daily papers of this district.

These organizations are the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., and the Min isterial Association. In many of the larger schools the Y. M. C. A. has played a distinct role in the direction of the religious thought of the college student. In Bethany — being a small school, and at the same time a church college — the field of its activity has been of necessity very limited. An outstanding work of the Y , however is that of making incoming students welcome from the time they arrive in Wellsburg — where the Y facilitates the necessary transfer of baggage, furnishes all informa- tion and answers all queries — until they are safely piloted through the maze of preliminaries to their appointed dormitory homes. The friendly and fraternal atmosphere thus created, is fostered by the meetings of the Y . These meetings are both social and educational. Outsiders are brought in to speak, frequently from long distances to address the men on subjects vital to every college man in the preparation for his post-college career. The educational program also includes the supervision, through t he Cabinet, of the Lecture Course which brings many famous entertainers, dramatists, and lecturers to the Bethany platform. The Y. M. C. A. this year attained a long-sought goal. It now has its own club rooms, equipped with reading stands, and all manner of games — from pocket billiards to dominoes. The rooms are as yet inadequately furnished but will, by the end of the coming year, be complete in every detail. The Y. W. C. A. is the only general women ' s organization on the hill. It. too, has brought content with Bethany , to the heart of the incoming girls through 192 3 THE BETH A N I A N 19 2 3 ( ne hundred nine the efficient management of the Big Sister plan. This sisterly relationship quickly makes Bethany a home to these erstwhile homeless ones. The Y. W. holds its meetings more regularly than any other student group. Every Thursday evening it meets for an hour of discussion of topics which tend to develop in college women those potentialities which will enable them later on to take their rightful place in the world ' s work — in missonary activity, in political ministrations, in social ser- vice undertakings, and in the building of the home. Delegates sent every year to the National Convention at Eaglesmere and the State Convention at Salem have kept the college association in intimate touch with the national and international work among college women. A unique feature of the local work in the past year — although the first movement in this direction began last year — has been along the line of Industrial Y. W. C. A. work. Conventions were held in Wheeling and Bethany to which both industrial and college girls were delegates and in which they were co-laborers. This is a distinctly forward step in the march of progress which has always characterized our Y, W. C. A. Although usually working in two widely separate fields here in Bethany, the local Y. M., and Y. ' .. united in one meeting this year at the invitation of the Y. M. Besides this, both organizations united as one in contributing liberally toward the Student Friendship bund, which was gathered for the relief of our college brothers and sisters in war-stricken Europe. In conjunction with the Y. M. and Y. ' .. the .Ministerial Association has ever held a unique place in the life ol the student body. It has a membership of about fifty — including faculty members — all of whom have dedicated their lives to the work of the Master. A close fellowship has been preserved through the medium of the bi-monthly meetings, and the Annual Banquet. The meetings are given over entirely to the discussion of problems vital to the Christian minister in his public ministry. Discussions are led by both students and professors, and men of approved apostolic valor are frequently brought to Bethany lor the sole purpose of instructing in the work. About twenty-three of the members hold regular pul- pits. Twelve are on the waiting list, looking for a call to serve. The secretary of the Association has acted as a Ministerial Appointment Bureau — through him the Association has succeeded in locating several ministerial students in churches needing and requesting pastoral guidance. The influence of this group in uplifting and guiding the life of the student body has never ceased to be a potent factor in Bethany ' s progress. In fact, the contribution of either of these organizations to our student life may never be rightly ascertained. It is to be hoped that ensuing years may see in them as much progress as has characterized their movements in the year just passed. 19 2 3 THE BET H AN I AN — 19 2 3 Young Women ' s Christian Association President ---------- Grace Lee Vice-President and Treasurer ----- Frances Run k Secretary ------- Elizabeth Hutchinson CABINET CHAIRMEN Social Service -------- Clara Schneider Membership --------- Martha Slee Religions Meetings -------- Sara Baker Social ---------- Sue Watch el Social ----------- Jane Luce Publicity -------- Margaret Steindorf Prayer Meeting -------- Olive Gedeohn Conference - - Katharine Wilfley Conference --------- Dorothy Davis Undergraduate Representative ----- Mae Yoho 1923 — THE BET H A N I AN One hundred eleven 19 2 3 Young Men ' s Christian Association President ---------- J A y Booth Secretary ---------- Robert Hurl Treasurer --------- Harold Elsam CABINET Earl Zook Frank Donaldson Denton McCormick Frank Helme Harold Elsam Stephen Murray Glenn Carpenter Robert Hurl Jay Booth 192 3 THE BETH AN I AN 192 3 Ministerial Association President - - - A.

These societies in the past have been the training ground for many of Bethany ' s orators, and even now. in the busy rush of life, when it is said a student hasn ' t time to think, we find that in the literary society young people are once more practicing the tine old arts of oratory and debate and essay-writing as well as the more modern arts of book reviewing and the discussion of current events, national and world-wide in their significance. I he literary society of today partakes of the nature of an open forum in which students may voice their opinions on almost any subject and match intellects in the keenest discussions. To promote an interest in things literary, two years ago a chapter of Alpha Phi Epsilon, a national honorary literary fraternity, was installed in Bethany. The requirements for entrance are high enough that only the best members of a literary society can hope to be admitted to membership in the honorary organization. It has proved as an incentive to many a student to do a higher degree of work than he would have thought himself capable of doing. 19 2 3 — THE BETHANIAN — 19 2 3 One hundred fifteen Neotrophian Literary Society Neotrophia is the oldest literary society on the campus, ft was founded in 1841, the same year Bethany College was founded and has been a great help in building up this institution. The society at one time owned a collection of twelve hundred books, but this library along with all the other Neotrophian property, was destroyed by fire in 1839. A similar disaster occurred in 187°, but in spite of these and several other mishaps, the society has been Onward, Upward, ever marching. In 1918, women were admitted to membership, and have proved to be of the greatest help in the society. A few years ago a beautiful Neotrophian badge was given by William G. Walton, This badge is worn by the President during his term of office and is then passed on to his successor. Last year Neotrophian Hall was completely remodeled, making it a most pleasant place to hold meetings. This society has contributed men of leadership in political, religious and commercial fields, not only in our own country, but in foreign lands, and each member endeavors to live up to the motto, which adorns the Neotrophian Hall, — As one lamp lights another nor grows less, So nobleness enkindles nobleness. 19 2 3 — THE BETHANIAN — 19 2 3 One hundred sixteen .■afS| r- ; ' ■ ■ ■ .■.

In the beginning, the society was organized to meet the literary needs of ministerial students and its membership was wholly students preparing for the ministery. Later, however, it opened its doors to every student desiring to gain literary training. By able leadership and by the united efforts of all the members Adelphia has contributed some worth while things in the life of the college. Adelphia was instrumental in bringing Alpha Phi Epsilon to the notice of the literary element in the college. Debating has been given a large place in Adelphian programmes. The emphasis placed on this field of literal) ' activity has brought marked results — of the eight members on the varsity debating team, six are Adelphians. Debating is not, however, the only field which has been emphasized. Interesting subjects dealing with poetry, fiction, his- tory and science have been studied and have been presented in the form of ten minute talks, papers, and orations. Adelphia can boast of the win- ner of the oratorical contest of last year. In spite of the increase in academic work the members have been regular in attendance. They have not disappointed the programme committees by failing to respond when called upon. Only ten mem- bers have failed to come prepared when placed on the programme this year. These things point to the responsibility each member of Adelphia feels in working out the motto. Neglect not the gift which in you is. 1 9 2 3 THE BETH AN I AN 1923 hundred eighteen Adelphian Literary Society FIRST SIMIS I P.R President ---------- Frank I III. me Vice-President --------- Gladys Snyder Secretary --------- Xantha Cooke Treasurer ----------- Chairman of Programme Committee - MARGARET Ryan SECOND SEMESTER President -------- - Harold Elsam Vice-President --------- Normai rd Secretary -------- Elizabeth Hutchinson Treasurer ..........

In February, 1 L 22, the society was re- organized and since that lime its members have been striving to make its work beneficial to themselves and others. Two of the elements that are frequently lacking in college graduates of today are originality and the power of expression. Realizing that it is the special province of the iiterary society to supply these elements the program committee of our society gives due place to essays, debates, extemporaneous speeches, etc. The aim of A. L. I. is to co-operate with the college in producing men and women of outstanding character and ability, who will be equipped and inspired to be of definite service to humanity. Time and effort are necessary in order to realize our aim and every one who joins this society pledges himself to devote some time and energy to the furtherance of its plans. Because it does require time and effort our policy is to invite to join us only those who have an earnest desire for self-improvement and who are capable of criticizing self and others. Believing that intensive practice is necessary for achievement our policy has been, and will continue to be, to restrict our number so that frequent appearance before the society will give us the ease and grace of manner that is one of the first requirements of a pleasing and persuasive speaker. With the glorious past of the society as an inspiration and with the demands of present day citizenship as a challenge we hope that the American Literary Institute will go on to a still more glorious future. 1 9 2 3 — THE BE T H A N I A N 192 3 One humlrL ' tl twenty r£?P ' American Literary Institute FIRST SEMESTER President --------- .

Alternate Negative Team — I |UGH McGlJIRE Mae Voiio I Iarold Elsam William Noland, Alternate The 1922-23 debating differed from the usual in two respects. First, only one college was met. This was due to the fact that two proposed triangles failed at a very late date. Second, tor the first time young women represented our school in regular inter-collegiate debate. Both Miss Yoho and .Miss Baker thoroughly deserved their place on the team and were effective above the average in the heat of debate. That each member of the team did his work conscientiously and well is evidenced by the fact that both teams won. The question was, Resolved: that the application of the principle of the closed union shop would serve the best interest of the .American people. I he strength of the affirmative was in a powerful attack. They consistently and vigorously developed an offensive. They were never on the defense. An observer reported that the opponents were startled by the power and vigor of that approach to the problem. The negative team develop- ed strong defense by the means of a versatile rebuttal, combined with an attack on the general weakness of the affirmative side. This probably was what won the victory. Albert Wilson won the privilege of representing Bethany in the Tri-State Oratorical Contest at Geneva. Although he gained third place in the contest yet it can be said that Bethany was fittingly and finely represented. W ' e are proud of our representative and his ability. A word of appreciation is due Prof. Calhoun. He has the ability to turn out winning teams. W ' e appreciate him and his methods. 1 92 3 — THE BET H AN I AN 19 2 3 One hundred twenty-twi Debating Squad Prof. Buchanan, Coach lph Lankler Hugh McGuire Frank Helme Harold Elsam Sara Baker Edward Russell Mae Yoho Francis Love 19 2 3 — THE BETHANIAN — 1923 i: ' • : ' ■; - ' ii j-S : i- a 1,, 192 3 THE BETHANIAN 19 2 3 hundred twenty-four Every good college has its artistic tendencies, which, in Bethany are expressed through a Dramatic Club, Glee Club, and Band. These organizations have come to fill such a prominent place in the activities of the school that special mention must be made of the work they do. The Merry Masquers Dramatic Club keeps us in touch with the world of the drama, presenting plays from time to time during the school year which not only afford entertainment to the audience, but experience and training to the students participating. This work has always been encouraged by the English Department and has been especially aided by the untiring efforts of Airs. Bourne. The Glee Club is an organization with a three-fold achievement: it gives a valuable vocal training to the individual, provides entertainment of a high type for its audiences, and advertises the college in a better way than almost any other organization could as it draws the best class of people interested in colleges. The College Band has just completed its second year, greatly increased in numbers and more deeply appreciated than ever before. Composed of men and women of the college and of some of the high school students of the village, it more completely represents the community than any other organization. In all kinds of weather at all times and on all occasions this most enthusiastic group of young folks with their very wide-awake leader may be relied upon to provide anything musical from Solomon Levi to Home Sweet Home and back again.

With success in the fundamental purpose, combined with the social features, membership in the club has become more and more desirable. A large measure of success has been enjoyed during the year 1922-23 due to the definite purpose of the officers, the hearty co-operation of the members, and the wise counsel of the faculty members. The adoption of the try-nut for admission was a forward step, pointing to an organization with a more selective membership. One act plays have been given at each meeting — carrying out the year- program of their study and presentation. Casts have been selected mi that every member could have opportunity to gain experience as actors or play directors. A dramatization of Dicken ' s Christmas Carol was presented with marked success, on December 12. The energies of the club are now directed upon the plays to be given Commencement Week. Three one-act modern plays will be presented this year, which is a departure from the established custom of giving classical plays. 19 2 3 — THE BETH A N I AN 19 2 3 One huniln-.l twenty l lffM ?

Those who could not he recognized on account ol their masks were Mrs. Anne Arborn, President Allnight, and the hootch dealer that broke up the party. The last named object has sure got our hats oil to him. as you will see that he should. Right in the midst of a hilarious outburst of energy nicknamed, Virginia Reel. the archduchess of Phillips Reformitory for Women informed the administration that she had most assuredly smelled spiritual liquids on somebody ' s breath. Mere indeed was a good chance to catch someone anil to humilate her or him if caught. All the administration had to do was to have the breaths of all suspicious persons investigated. And so the fun began. The archduchess, because of her youthful agility and large nostrils, was allowed to take charge of the probe. Reasoning that the most likely to have partaken of the hot drops was the delegation from Wheeling which were the judges, she de- cided to begin with them, which she did. The ladies didn ' t show any signs of foul play, but the gentleman which was the third member of the judiciary was immediately charged with internal possession of kayo lemonade. I le loudly de- fended himself by declaring that her majesty had smelled Life Savers on his breath. The point was argued pro and con till the administration decided that it had probably been a long time since her grace had tasted any corn broth which made it necessary to find a substitute for her. We all agree that a wise choice was made when the Iota representative of the lappa Nu Keg fraternity was nominated the substitute. This baby can scent the sleeping tea if it ' s within two leagues. The results were almost immediate. Willis Huff was found outside the building peeping in through an open window. As the wind was coming from that direction, a large part of the mystery was solved. In an interview with the reporters, how- ever. .Mr. Huff refused to divulge the identitv of the offending hootch dealer. 19 2 3 — THE BETHANIAN 19 2 3 m humliu.l SENIOR CLASS PRESENTS OGLEBAY GATE LIGHTS Highly Appreciated by Nobody The Senior Class has been presented with a large juicy over-ripe raspberry. The donor of the gift was anonymous, but the honor has been affixed to the patient and long suffering beau brummels who feel that more lights on the already over-lighted campus is a fitting parallel in the blow that killed father. The said lights have a large and generous appearance which leads most of us to believe that at least the fourth year Barneys had good intentions. In preparation lor the gift, all the useless scrap iron and tinware was melted into two huge lamp posts. As these are mounted on stone pedestals, they have come to serve a double purpose. Not only will the entire campus and class rooms be lighted at night. hut during the day students may point with pride to these objects as statues of former presidents of the college, which anyone could be made to believe with a little coaxing. Even now as these lines are going to press, a committee of confirmed benedicts and vestal votaresses are working on a plan to give the new equipment individual names. Patriotic Bethanians await with breathless interest the outcome of this session of the committee. BETHANY GETS NEW STADIUM This is really just a joke. Doc Gimblet, the well known specialist in boring holes in pocketbooks, has discovered a new means of grafting the innocent public. As a result, we ' ve almost got what would be a real stadium if it was shaped like a soup bowl instead of like a victrola record, neither of which it resembles very much, fhe new improvement means that Old Bethany will have as trim a covey of track hounds as ever graced a race track. Smith Owens and Sons, City Highway engi- neers, have been given the contract to make the athletic field a combination of football and baseball gridirons surrounded by a race track, with a hundred-yard runaway. A regular new style baseball cage is already finished behind the catcher, fhe purpose of this affix is to prevent an angry batsman from throwing his stick at an over-confident fan — you know the kind of guy that couldn ' t play jumping- the-rope without hanging himself, but who always insists that the right to tell the pill-dodgers what to do was included in the admission layout, which it probably is. Connard — The dentist said I have a large cavity to be filled. Sheets — Did he recommend any special course of study? 19 2 3 — THEBETHAISIAN — 19 2 3 One hundred sixty-eight BAN PLACED ON MALTREATMENT OF YOUNG MEN AND BOYS Ancient Evil Tabooed No more will anxious mothers and fathers await dubiously the return of their sons from their first year at Bethany College, said President Allnight in a recent address to the largest crowd that has ever attended a Ladies ' Aid Meeting in Bethany College. If the young ladies are not allowed to he roughed up by upper- class beau brummels. why should the young men be so subjected, continued the chief executive. During the past four years we have had as main as a do en young men reported completely out of breath after the various class lights, flag rushes, and tug-of-wars that have so cursed our student activities. From hence- forth, the hideous and nefarious procedure of hair-cutting will be eliminated from the college calendar. I and the faculty have decided, after considerable deliber- ation and advice from the powers that be, that hair-cutting is somewhat antiquated, and because of this it has no place in the program of this college. Furthermore, after decoying and enticing students to this institution, it is quite unfair to increase their agony after they arrive. (We presume that being here is enough.) NEOTROPIIIA LEAPS INTO PROMINENCE Presidents ' Names to be Published in Bethanian With much blaring of trumpets and mutilating of tin cans and wash tubs, the otherwise silent mob of literary dark equines known as Neotrophian Literary Society has become a menace to the campus bv their brand new wail entitled, We have wakened up and we don ' t care who knows it. The organization was founded not more than a dozen times during the last half century for the sole purpose of electing a president, which dignitary was to have the honor of having his name published in the year book. The presidents have been so prolific in the past that the practice of publishing their names was discon- tinued for some time. This year, however, the time-honored custom is to be re- vived and the presidents ' names are once more to grace the pages of our annual. The dues from the organization are to be used in paving for the extra pages. SOME MISTAKE Grace — What ' s the score? Frank — Seven to six. Grace — You ' re surely mistaken. 1 haven ' t seen more than lour men carried off the field. 192 3 — THE BETHANIAN — 19 2 3 One hundred CHAPEL NOTES Percy Cross, athlete, preacher, high jumper, hurdler, boxer, revolutionist, wrestler, football, tennis, pocket billiard, baseball and basket-ball player, presented a large and attentive chapel audience with a speech on What I ' ve Done in Life. It sounded more like the Sunday sport page than a chapel talk: Hereafter we would prefer good sound serious talks, such as any member of our faculty can reel off by heart at the slightest provocation. The Y. W. C. A. soloist thrilled the ten o ' clock assemblage to the souls of their feet with a harrowing ditty, entitled. Somebody Needs Some Lovin ' , and That Somebody ' s Me This appeal was answered with a landslide of candidates, who offered their humble assistance in the providing of a long-felt need. Dean VYorklittle has entered an order for a large pair of opera glasses for the purpose of sighting the numbers on empty chapel seats at long distance. Hereto- fore the dean has been forced to use an ordinary surveyor ' s transit, but the con- tinual annoyance of having to shift the instrument from one part of the platform in another has led him to hit upon the simpler method of using binoculars. Professor E. Bookstore Perish delighted a multitude of chapel admirers with a piquant sermonette on. 1 he Part Played by Latin in the Discovery of King Tut-ank-amen. It is only to be regretted that the news oi Dean Worklittle ' s ill- ness had been broadcasted previous to the chapel hour, which of course prevented a larger number from hearing the discourse.

Or call it a Museum of Antique Jokes? For example, we consign to the .Museum the following jokes, which deserve honorable mention and highest praise for having served long and faithfully - a rough and weary period of unceasing service in the hands, or rather in the mouths, of countless dumb-bells, who because of their un-originalitv and low brain power have used them time after time in vain and unsuccessful efforts to be proficient in the zippy comeback and in the so-called art of parlor entertain- ment. This could be elaborated largely. For instance, all bizz jokes; the ones about ponies in exams; the one about opening gates at exam time; the one about the student whose landlady thought he was a night watchman; and the ones about absent-minded profs. Also, all jokes pertaining to or alluding to prohibition, Volstead, Eighteenth Amendment, hootch, wine, bevo, or home brew. Yours truly. A Subscriber. BAND CONCERT THRILLS HUGE AUDIENCE ' Fhe annual attempt of the college band to play Home Sweet Home as It Is Heard In All Lands was greeted with great enthusiasm by Bethany star-gazers and dark corner turtle doves. An overwhelming appreciation was manifested by the fact that many couples unable to obtain seats in the chapel, displayed noble courage and loyalty by remaining on the campus during the fusillade of high powered bugle notes and sharp warnings of klaxonettes, which issued recklessly and pitilessly from the windows of the spacious auditorium last Thursday night. The mob which was turned away strolled hither and thither about the campus seeking relief from the noise by hiding beneath shrubbery and in the various class- rooms of professors, who, through indifferent benevolence or sheer absent-minded- ness had left said havens unlocked. For those who were so unfortunate as to obtain seating the trap was unusually successful. Just before the grand rattle began all doors were securely locked in order to prevent the general exit which would surely have followed. As the final selection Home Sweet Flome was rendered as it is whistled by the Tahiti maids along the River Styx. In commenting upon the quality of the program the Wells- burg Morning Flerald said, It was undoubtedly the best band that has been heard at Bethany during the entire season. 19 2 3 THE BETHANIAN 19 2 3 ( )ne hundred seventy-Jo The initials of a friend You will find these letters on many tools by which electricity works. They are on great generators used by electric light and power companies ; and on lamps that light millions of homes. They are on big motors that pull railway trains ; and on tiny motors that make hard housework easy. By such tools electricity dispels the dark and lifts heavy burdens from human shoulders. Hence the letters G-E are more than a trademark. They are an emblem of service— the initials of a friend. GENERAL ELECTRIC 192 3 THE BETHANIAN — 19 2 3 THE DOPE CORNER The |inx which has followed on the tails of the basket-ball team all over the gymnasium floors of this and surrounding districts is still on it. The jinx which is expected to follow on the tail of the track team is not on it yet. The tennis team is not expecting to have the jinx camping on its trail this year as there are not enough candidates to make a team. Willis Huff, while hunting along the Buffalo Creek the other night, treed and shot a full-grown jinx. It is thought to he the same one that harassed the horse- shoe throwing team for some time.

The purpose of this assemblage of insect devourers is to keep from being shot by the hunting enthusiasts of the college. Their method of protection is singular indeed. Here it is. Early in the morning Professor Weiner leads his band out into the deep forests where the feathered friends remain concealed until the sporting Nimrods have ceased their persecution. It is suspected and indeed whispered quite loudly that a squirrel club will join in with the already successful bird club for the purpose of mutual protection. The motto of the new club is, If you like harmful insects, kill us. IN FUTURE YEARS Leigh Darsie — President of National League of Redheads. Irene McDermott — U. S. food commissioner.

All loyal Bethanians are expected to attend, and the unsuspecting frosli will attend anyway, which makes a singularly appreciative audience. Those unfortunates who are engaged in the miser- ies of imbibing said languages but who are physically unfit to participate in the stunts are to be found sitting as far front as possible so that their presence will not go unnoticed by the various professors of the department. This year ' s program kept the audience in tears of laughter from beginning to end, except the end, which was greeted with a huge shout of delight. The program presented by the Spanish acrobats was entitled, Eos explosiones de un toro pedigreedo. while the Erench troubedours participated in a very amusing indoor track meet, christened, L n pomme un jour pfohibitione le median. Professor Whalebone was requested to commemorate the previous perform- ance by singing a Spanish folksong entitled, What the Picador Shot. How- ever, after ignoring much coaxing and teasing, the stern pedagogue won the day by a brilliant smile which completely captivated the audience and also relieved him of further annoyance. The circus was hailed as another great mile stone along the path of modern language efficiency. Scene — Lecture in class. Time — Twelve-twenty A. M. Shuffling and talking resound from the corridor, a spirit of restlessness sweeps the class. Arise audible remarks of Whadyuh say?
