His early death blighted many hopes, but his far-sighted Vision and aggressive action had already fore- shadowed the greater Bethany of to-day. FOREWORD Tl J ITHIN this book lies a theme that is local in color, sym- bolical of all that is beautiful in the life of eVer$ Bethany student. May We look upon the task of those who have gone before us as a real ac- complishment and eVer keep sacred the traditions which are ours, and which remind us of the many chal- lenges of the future. If this book can recall memo- ries which will renew a loVe and de- votion to our Alma Mater for her invaluable gifts to us, We haVe suc- ceeded. Then We seek no praise, We desire no commendation — We haVe only accomplished that which We set out to do, and the joy of service is ours. CONTENTS ONE ADMINISTRATION TWO CLASSES THREE ORGANIZATIONS FOUR BEAUTY FIVE ATHLETICS six THE BETHANIAN Alma Mater All hail to thee, hail to thee, bright Alma Mater! Our heart ' s true affections twine closely to thee; How dear to our hearts are the scenes of old Bethany, Cod speed Alma Mater and Old Bethany. We ' ll honor and crown thee, O bright Alma Mater, For thou art the regent of our destiny; We ' ll bring thee the gems and the treasures of memory. Cod speed Alma Mater and Old Bethany. High up on the scroll of honor and fame, Thy sons, strong and manly, have written thy name; But now we must leave thee, with hearts overflowing; Farewell, Alma Mater and Old Bethany. We ' ll honor and crown thee, O bright Alma Mater, For thou art the regent of our destiny; We ' ll bring thee the gems and the treasures of memory. Cod speed Alma Mater and Old Bethany. i4 The grates of memory Are ever open wide. - II w a, — r. Dreamy like the far-off chimes of angels ' bells from out the highest heaven. ' J ■BiHiil ' ■ ■ fl Wi M« «C— : QjQdilWlU bP UoXs Presidents Message v --j- r IS WITH PLEASURE that I extend the greeting of the administration of Bethany College to the friends and readers -■H— of the Bethanian for 1927. For a number of years the annual has been a creditable publication, and we feel sure that the cur- rent number maintains the standards and traditions of its predecessors. Bethany College has been known for its beautiful environs, the architecture of its main buildings, and the general attractiveness of its campus. These items afford fine material for the view section of the Bethanian as it seeks to portray Bethany as a college well located and equipped. In these days many things are being written concerning colleges and a college education ; suffice it to say that, regardless of criticism, the col- lege graduate continues to take the usual place in the public life of the times. More than ever the professional man is coming to his specialized training with a college background. The great corporations of our day are asking for the college-trained young man who can be put in depart- ments that will ultimately lead to administrative responsibilities. Basic in all of the above is the fact that the greatest contribution of a college education is still to be found in the good that it does one ' s own soul. To these items Bethany College stands committed. Cloyd Goodnight, President. 18 11 Cloyd Goodnight, President W. J. Herbster Frank J. Kent The Board of Trustees Executive Committee M. M.

The school and college must be more than a mere giver of information ; it must be a builder of character, a maker of men and women. Educators today realize that the college must save young men and young women from narrowness and pettiness and bring them out into a larger world of vision and service; that only then will it justify the title of Alma Mater, the fostering mother of men and women. As a result of this new vision extra-curricular activities have taken a real place in our college life. It is possible to say that their right to ex- istence antedates formal education and finds its birth certificate in human life needs of young men and young women. Here at Bethany we have supported organizations of various types through many years. They have served the students well, and they have served the college well. These organizations have been like mirrors to students in reflecting the problems and the opportunities, the joys and the sorrows, the virtues and the evils of life as it must be met when college days are over. Bethany ' s student organizations are under the direction and super- vision of the Student Board of Governors, and they are being used to give the broader social, vocational, civic, physical, moral and avocational training so essential for a successful, well-rounded modern life. The Student Board of Governors Founded in 1926 The Student Board of Governors was created by the student body to replace the Student Council which had ceased to function in an efficient manner. The organization was carefully planned and executed and there is no question but that the Student Board of Governors built a firm foundation for itself. All this, it has strengthened by a year ' s active program in the super- vision and control of student life, student welfare, and student activities. The Board has been earnest and persistent in its efforts to contribute in every way possible to a fuller and richer student life and to promote the best interests of the college. Officers Edward S.

Such was the reason for the formation of the Current History Club in 1922. To those students who demanded it, and to those members of the fac- ulty who welcomed it, this club has been a valued forum for the pooling of information and viewpoints. The club is unique in its organization. It has none. There are no officers, no committees, no dues or fees. Its energies, so its founders believed, should be expended on things, not on personal preferments. And its corresponding policy is its deliberate democracy. Meetings are characterized by a lack of form; interest in affairs whose import is larger than any one campus admits a student, and by the same token he may have the floor. During the present year the range of subjects has spread over a considerably wider territory than ever before. From the five-day week for laborers to the results of prize offers in literature; from the Nicaraguan policy of the United States to riots in China and the coal strike in England, inquisitive minds have followed the march of events. The most attractive subject was Who Run the Colleges, a discussion of the proper influence on college administration of trustees, president, faculty, and students, with which was coupled an attack on, and defense of, fraternities. A distinctive, creative impression on student thinking and attitudes is a result of the meetings of this club, for by the simplicity and sincerity of discussion, the timeliness of the subjects, and the home-like surroundings of the parlors of Phillips Hall, scenes are created which will not soon fade from the college record nor from the students ' remembrance. A History of the Literary Societies x HE NEED of some type of literary organization was felt as soon as Bethany Cj College was opened in 1 841. So November 5, 1841, the Neotrophian Lit- X erary Society was organized, having an enrollment of thirty-one members at the first session. The society was incorporated by the state of Virginia, March 16, 1849. On November 10, 1841, a group of fourteen young men discussed the possibility of forming a second society. And so the second organization at Bethany was founded. At first it was called the Bethany Institute, but soon the name was changed to the American Literary Institute, or A. L. I. In 1 85 1 the two literary societies jointly edited a college paper, The Stylus. After this publication had passed out of existence, another was published. This paper. The Guardian, a bi-monthly school paper, was started in 1869, and was carried on until the Collegian, the present college paper, was started. The Guardian, although on the order of a newspaper, was edited essentially for literary purposes. An inter- esting serial on The History of Bethany College ran in the paper. In 1852 a third society was formed. The purpose of this organization, called the Adelphian, was to promote and carry out the purposes contemplated in the de- partment of Bible literature. The next mention that we find of literary efforts at Bethany was the organization of a girls ' society, the Ossolian, in 1890. It was impossible to find just when this society ceased functioning, but by 1905 it had entirely disappeared. By that time girls were admitted to the other literary organizations. Adelphian was the first to open its doors to the ladies. In the 1908 catalogue the statement was made that all students must be a member of some literary society, and must take part at least twice a term. By 1916 the students were urged to become members of the societies. Ossolian reappeared for a short time during the year 1912-1913. In 1916 a society for preparatory students, the Campbell, was organized. In 191 7-18 the Kar- terian was started and functioned for about a year. During the period of 1917-23, A. L. I. also did not function. Again in 1923 both societies passed from existence and have not since been unearthed. It is one of the few tragedies of Bethany that literary work should so deteriorate. The students of today are interested in other lines, and other activities take the place of the old societies. But some day, and we hope it is soon, the literary societies of Bethany College will again be active organizations. 6S m mJ Adelphian Literary Society Founded in 1852 Officers Elbert Starn President Dwtcht Stevenson Vice-President DeLoris Ray Secretary Thorley Johnson Treasurer Members Leonard Beyer Marjorie Cox Herman Patton Emily Jones Helen Cotton Tudelle Wilson Ursula Thompson Ruth Miller Grace Dennis Oliver Loer William Barber Effie Stickley- Gene Carpenter Clayton Goe Dorothy Beyer Mabel Metze Hope Rem; Lorena Pease Cecil Fetters Allen Reed Ruth Erskine Helen Morss Ruth Tawney Morton Miller Arthur Markley Ellen Kinsey Elizabeth Green Henry Shallenbercer Garnet Helmey Margaret Cunningham Laura Cathon Carl Woodrum Beatrice McMillan Florence Wolfe Harriet Mumper Margaret Laughery John Goodnight Larue Brown- Lee Svviger Sarah Thomas Ethel Houston Martha McCorkle Emma Cook Cleo Mumper Earl Eppling Paul Wadell Ira Sayre Ruth Smith Marian Latimer Martha Quick Alice Eberley Edna Hilling Rosalie Stutzman Cromwell Cleveland Martha Quinlin Edgar McDonald Clarence Schnards Howard Omer Robert Probst Y.

Only men and women participating in debate or oratory may become mem- bers. At the annual convention, the topic for debate decided upon was, Resolved, that the United States should cancel the debts owing to it by the allied nations. This year the association is sponsoring an oratorical contest to be held in May. The winner of this contest will be awarded a gold medal. It is hoped that such a contest will further greater interest in the college in forensics. Deb ate With the best schedule in several years, it appears that debating in Bethanv will experience a most interesting and successful season. Contests have 1 already been arranged with Waynesburg, Geneva, Westminster, and Johns Hopkins, and other schools may be added before the close of the year. The teams are being coached by Professor Bennett, who is an old debater himself. From the comparatively large number of candidates, Mr. Bennett selected Herman Patton, Dwight Stevenson and Virgil Elliot to represent the negative; and John Berry, Ward Stalnaker and Ellsworth Richardson the affirmative. Patton, Stevenson and Berry have debated for Bethanv before, and are the mainstays of the teams this year. Elliot and Richardson are debating for their first time, but are making good. Stalnaker has had previous experience, but is new in Bethany debating. The chief topic for debate is one being widely discussed by colleges throughout the United States, namely, Resolved, that the United States should cancel the debts owing to it bv the allied nations. With Johns Hopkins, the question is, Resolved, that the United States should adopt a uniform marriage and divorce law through national legislation.

Elder gjt On the first day oi Sepl mber, [927, some thirty aspiring candidates for the varsity football squad assembled in Bethany and began preparations for the coming season, under the able and ever careful guidance of Coach Nuss and Manager Red McLean. Faced with the difficult problem of replacing such stars as Loppacker, Barlowe, Rhine, Rice Serafini, and with a nine-game schedule containing anything but easy games, Coach Nuss en- countered a rather severe job. However, Coach grimly set him- self at the hard task of building a machine to withstand the test of the season. In spite of his hard work, our varsity did not seem to hit its stride until the latter part of the season, when he managed to get the machine organized, and it finished with a rush, winning two of the last three games, and playing the cham- pionship Geneva team to a standstill for three quarters. Those Graduate Mqr. of Athletics last three games were a fitting tribute to the ' ' never say die spirit of our coach. The season opened on October 2 with West Virginia Weslevan at Buckhannon, and the Green met with defeat, 19 to 7, after having secured a 7 to o lead in the first quarter. Then Westminster invaded Bethany to return with a 7 to 7 tie in our first Conference game. The Green lost its second game in three starts at Erie, Pa., when Allegheny College was returned the victor, 14 to 7, after a gruelling struggle. Salem College completely upset predictions by trouncing our varsity 20 to o at Wellsburg, in the next game. On the following Friday, October 29, Duquesne and Bethany fought four quarters to a o to c tie on the Bluff in Pittsburg. Our old rival, W. and J., was more successful this year than in several past, turning our varsity back at Washington, Pa., 26 to o. The following Saturday the Bisons turned in their first victory by defeating Thiel College 10 to o. A touchdown by Neel and the resultant goal by Fiers and a beautiful drop kick from the toe of Kinsey accounted for the total. A varsity with a renewed spirit soundly trounced Waynes- burg on the following Saturday by the score of 7 to o. Our last game resulted in a 20 to o defeat at the hands of Geneva, the conquerors of Harvard. From the standpoint of games won, our 1927 football season can hardly be considered a succ ess, but still we can not consider it a failure, for the reason that we placed second in the Tri-State Conference standing, with a record of two won, two tied, and only one game lost. Another successful angle of the season was that it served to uncover several promising new men in the per- sons of Fiers at fullback, Baker, Roe, Hagberg, Gilgan, Burwell, Bates, Imel, Keating and Stewart. W. O. MacLeax, Manager CAREY (Captain), End .V-10 Senior 165 pounds No better or more respected leader than Al could have been round Tor the 1926 eleven. Playing his position steadily and fighting hard, with his heart in the game every minute, he made his last year his best, We ' re sorry that Al can not be with us next year, HAMILL (Captain-Elect), Quarterback S ' -ll Sophomore 170 pounds Few players more popular than Carl have ever worn the Green and White. II is selection as captain is sure to meet with the approval of the tans. He is equally great on offense and defense, a good passer, and has that football sense which makes him so valuable as a field general. -8 Hump Neel, Bethany ' s fleet runnln ponents. There was scarcely a game through an open field. Wesleyan, Allegheny his speed. Hump is an All-Conference man.

West Virginia Wesleyan and our varsity en- gaged in a struggle that, in spite of the elements, was good to look upon. The Bison started with a bang by receiving the kickofF and scoring in three plays. Halfback Neel on the third play of the game took a twenty-yard pass from Carey and carried it to completion by sprinting sixty yards in a beautiful run for a touchdown. Fiers accurately booted the goal, and the Bison led 7 to o. Shortly after the next kickoff, a had punt placed the ball deep in Bethany territory, and Wesleyan succeeded in scoring by recovering a fumble over the goal line. Wesleyan again ob- tained possession of the ball deep in Bison territory, due to a fumble, and pushed another touch- down across on straight line play. The second half was evenly fought, with Wesleyan scoring 119 w TINSON, Tackle 6 ' -l Junior ' 200 pounds Bis: John is always to be recognized anywhere on the field because of the height and breadth of his frame. Running in the interference on almost every play, he was responsible for many gaps in the opposing line, and on the defense he was a tower of strength. STOBBS, Halfback 6 ' .Junior 170 pounds Bobby seldom carried the ball. It was his place to clear the way, and at this he is a master. On defense he backs up the line, and its is doubtful if the Tri-5tate district can claim his equal at diagnosing plays and breaking them up. KIXSEY. Halfback 5 ' -7 Senior 153 pounds After four years of faithful labor. Earl finally got a chance to show what he could do. and he came through wonderfully. Called upon to fill Sfcobbs shoes, he played the position like the master he is. His field goal against Thiel cinched the victory that day. The school loses a real football player when Earl graduates. BRANDON ' .

He has proved to be a valuable man to the team when called upon, and he will always be remembered as a clean and courageous fighter. again on a thirty-yard run after a short forward pass. The game ended shortly after Wes- leyan ' s third score, 19 to 7. Before a homecoming crowd and in our first Conference game, our varsity played a 7 to 7 tie game with Westminster College. The first quarter found Bethany again holding the ad- vantage in ground gained, and this period ended with the ball on Westminster ' s two-yard line. Just after the second quarter opened, Fiers, who incidentally gave a very nice exhibition of full- back play that afternoon, cut through tackle for a score and completed the play by kicking a per- fect goal after touchdown. Westminster, using the very deceptive Carnegie Tech system, opened up with a barrage cf forward passes that were not to be denied. A wide pass to Westminster ' s right end resulted in a forty-yard run to a touchdown, and as the goal was successfully kicked, a 7 to 7 tie. The second half found Bethany gaining ground throughout, but lacking in the final thrust. A frantic drive in the last minutes of the fourth quarter fell just inches and seconds short of a 120 A. S4? FIERS, Fullback o ' -lliA Sophomore 17o pounds Dale relinquished a position at end this year for the task of gamins; yardage through .,: ■ ■ lines. He was the heaviest man in the baokfiold. and the hardest to stop with a . lean tackle. When Dale hits the line under full steam, something is bound to crack. He has two more years of service. GRIFFITH, Guard and Tackle G ' - ' l Junior 175 pounds Griff is our big. steady lineman; quiet, but always in the thick of the fray. During the first half of the season he held down the position in the center of the line, and later, when called upon, proved his ability as a tackle. All year he was handicapped by a shoulder injury- which would keep many men on the bench. PRICE, Center 5 ' -8M: sophomore 169 pounds Bucky ' s chief asset is his dependability. The accuracy of his passing is characteristic of all his work. Although not heavy as linemen go. he is able to hold his own with the heavy fellows. Alle- gheny picked him as the best center opposing them during the season. BURWELL, Center 5 ' -7 Freshman 1X4 pounds This was Fat ' s first year on the squad, and he came through with a bang. Although constantly opposed to larger men, he was never once forced out of a game through injury. Like many of the other linemen, he uses the submarine style of getting through the line, and as a result much of his fine work is hidden from the stands. Bethany victory. The game ended with the ball in Bethany ' s possession on Westminster ' s half- yard line. October 16 found our varsity at Erie, Pa., ' vhere Allegheny College, in the new municipal stadium, met and defeated our Bisons 14 to 7. after a heart-breaking struggle. A bad pass from center on the first play after the opening kickoff placed the varsity in a decidedly unfortunate position. Allegheny ' s right end picked up this misdirected pass and continued, unmolested, thirty ards to a touchdown. The goal was kicked and our opponents held a 7 to o advantage. Trying desperately, the Bisons kept pounding at a much heavier Allegheny line, and in the second quarter Fiers, on a delayed pass, placed a pretty spiral in Xeel ' s arms. Hump completed it by a beauti- ful dodging run to score. Fiers sailed the extra point kick squarely between the posts and the score stood 7 to 7. The third quarter was evenly fought with neither team scoring, but late in the fourth period Allegheny succeeded in scoring again by means of a long forward pass and GILGAN, Tackle 6 ' ]-rc-linia:i 174 pounds Chuck was one of the freshmen on the squad. Although he arrived late and so got off to a bad start, he developed quickly and became one of the mainstays of the line. Next year Gilly ought to go even better, so we are hoping that fall will find him back at school. ROE, Quarterback o ' -S Fre liniaa ISO pounds another of the freshmen who wore the Green and White this year. He was up against impossibility when it came to breaking into the regular backfield. but nevertheless, he of action. He is stocky and fast, can tear hole? in any line, and also has ability as a field Roe is an almost saw plenty general. George injured. H vantage FICKLEV. Tackle and Guard 5 ' -10 Freshman 185 pound began the season as a tackle, but later got a chance at guard when another player was ere he remained until the close of the season. His weight and build were of great ad- the center of the line, and opponents found him a hard man to get out of the road. HAGBERG, End 6 ' -2 Freshman ISO pounds This was Swede ' s first year on the squad, and he showed plenty of stuff to mak? us enthusiastic about his possibilities for the next three years. He is big, fast, and a hard and sure tackier. All the qualifications for an end — and he can also play tackle when called upon. 13AKER, Halfback 5 ' -3 Freshman 150 puunds ■Bake is the fleet youngster who alternates at Hump Neel ' s position when that gentleman is not in the game — and Bake can run in an open field with any of them. He has three years of varsity competition at Bethany, and should make football history. a twenty-five yard run off tackle. But for the bad luck at the start of the game the worst we could have received would have been a - to 7 tie, but such is football. Our varsity suffered a complete let-down against Salem and gave it; worst exhibition of football cf the season. Starting the game without the usual snap and scrap of a Bison team, the varsity did not find itself throughout the whole afternoon ' s play. Due credit must be given to Salem. They presented a well coached offense combined with a tenacious defense and a perfect execution of the huddle system of signals. The Seventh Day Adventists succeeded in pushing over a touchdown in each of the first two quarters, and one in the third, missing the final goal kick. Only in the closing minutes of 3.

During this time three forward passes were completed for as many first downs. The following Friday afternoon, October 29, on the Bluff Field in Pittsburg, the Green was forced to accept a o to o tie with Duquesne in a game that certainly should have resulted in a Bethany victory. On no less lhan four occasions did we have the ball in our possession inside of Duquesne ' s two-yard line, only to see something go amiss and have them punt out of danger. Velar, negro halfback, featured for Duquesne, and the playing of Hamill, Stobbs, Fiers, Neel, and Shives stood out for the Bisons. A very muddy field and a slippery ball greatly hindered our open style of attack and prevented our scoring at least once. To quote a sport writer of the Pittsburg Gazette Times, The Bisons were undoubtedly handicapped bv the slip- pery condition of the field, and under other conditions would probably have been victorious. The game ended o to o in favor of Jupiter Pluvius. Against the best W. and J. team in several vears, our much lighter varsity gave a very nice exhibition. The Presidents scored one of their four touchdowns on an eightv-vard run from a Bethany fumble, after the Bisons had carried the hall deep into W. and f. territory. The broken field running of Neel and the playing of Hamill and Fiers, coupled with the defensive play of Stobbs until he was injured in the fourth quarter, were the high spots in the Bison plav.

Facing great odds, the Bisons fought with dogged determination, but the opposition was just a little too strong to permit any scoring on our part, although Fiers and Neel both broke away for runs of between twenty-five and thirty-five yards. Next year we are going back again with the ever-present hope of — why say it? It ' s in the heart and blood of every true Bethanian. November 13 proved to be a lucky day, in spite of its sinister date, for our varsity was re- turned on the correct side of a 10 to o score with our third Conference rival, Thiel. Entering the game minus the service of our old standby, Stobbs, the Bisons hit their stride when Hamill placed a neat pass in Neel ' s arms as he stepped over the goal line in the second quarter. Fiers maintained his perfect record by kicking the resultant goal. Our other points were the result of a beautiful kick of thirty yards by Kinsey late in the second half. A word must be said here concerning Earl.

BASKETBALL F. L. NusSj Coach From the standpoint of material, the pre-season in- dications pointed to a very successful basketball campaign at Bethany. Coach Nuss had six varsity letter man and several promising new aspirants from which to pick a varsity. Two weeks of preliminary training before Christmas vacation served to condition the squad of ten men that engaged in a barnstorming trip during the last week before the opening of school. Five games were played on this trip, and three were turned in as victories; the two defeats were by close scores. All the games were with independent teams with the exception of that with Adrian College of Michigan, which administered a de- feat in Steubenville, Ohio, by a score of 40 to 23. The Saturday following our return from vacation saw the Bisons open their home schedule by defeating Waynesburg in a Conference game, 46 to 35. Beckwith featured this game by drop- ping eleven two-point shots through the hoop. Fairmount College gave the varsity a hard struggle, but the Green came out on top by a 39 to 32 score. In the return game at Waynesburg, the Bisons received their first defeat, 38 to 20, at the hands of a much improved Yellow jacket team. Our second consecutive defeat was administered by Geneva at Beaver Falls on the following Wednesday, 48 to 36. A two-day trip to Thiel and Westminster resulted in an even break. Thiel was defeated on Friday night, 61 to 36, and Westminster was victorious the next evening by a 46 to 26 score. Westminster, incidentally, had an impressive team this year, with four of their five men standing well over six feet in height. St. Francis, our next opponent, was de- feated by the close count of 39 to 37 in an exciting game, while West Virginia Wes- leyan was added to our list of victims by a 58 to 34 margin. Carl Hamill featured this game by caging nine baskets from the running guard position. Captain Beckwith, C. Hamill, Tinson, Segiel, Herr- man, Markley, Baker, J. Hamill, Ryan, Neel and Rush comprise the squad that has so far turned in six victories and three defeats. Hanna, after a promising start, was forced to retire from competition because of the recurrence of an old knee injury. With Duquesne, Westminster, Geneva and Thiel yet to be played at home, and with return games with Duquesne, Fairmont, and Wesleyan, we do not hesitate to predict a successful season, with a majority of victories in the seven remaining encounters. E. L. Kemp, Manager iius a Beckwith (Captain) Forward Junior His third season of intercollegiate basketball finds Lee at his best. Charley ' s floor work is always fast, and he has an uncannily accurate eye for the basket. His ability as a point- maker is attested by his eleven field goals in the Waynesburg game. TlNSON Guard Junior Big John, playing stationary guard, was a tower of strength to the Bison defense. A constant threat to the opposing forwards, he was able to break up more than one highly touted attack. Jack has only one more year of college basketball. SEGIEL Guard Sophomore Eddie entered school last year after the season was half gone, but jumped into the running guard position and made good with a bang. This year finds him in his old position as a regular, and holding it to the satisfaction of everyone. Although one of the smallest men on the squad, he is very fast, and can hold his own with much larger men. C. Hamill F orward Sophomore Carl started the season as a running guard, but was soon switched to his favorite position of forward. He is a great all-round man, his shooting being only exceeded by his excellent and dependable floorwork. As a running mate for Captain Beckwith, he constitutes the other half of the greatest pair of forwards in the Tri-State district. Carl still has two years of basketball before him. 129 A«3$ i i rea ■m ' y.- ■ ■ • : - -, I ( ' .Oil ?, ' ( ' • ' ■ r- ' w ! .Vr ' .9. i Herrmax Center Junior Sam returned to us after a year ' s absence to play his best season of basketball. Of ideal build for the center position, Sam -was at his best in the tussle under the baskets. A fine shot, he was able to convert many missed shots into points. Fo d Raker Freshman ' Kenneth Baker, who won statewide fame as a high school forward last year, found himself confronted with the almost impossible task of beating out one of Bethany ' s two regular forwards. Nevertheless, Baker got into a good number of games, and proved that all the nice things said about him were not exaggerations. J. Hamill Guard Freshman Jack was captain of the championship Linsly team of 1925. After remaining out of scholastic basketball for a season, he came to Bethany and tried out for the stationary guard position. Al- though handicapped by an old injury and by sickness, he won through to a letter after an uphill fight. Jack is an excellent shot, and runs up a surprising total of field goals for a still guard. MARKLEY Forward Sophomore This is Marklev ' s second year, he having played last year as a substitute. The first part of this year he was used as a reserve man, but his ability soon earned him a regular berth. He made quite a sensation when he made seven goals in the Geneva game. Since then he has been high point man in several games. Not only does he rate high as a point maker, but he handles the ball nicely and mixes in the game every minute. With two more years in college, he should become the talk of the district before leaving Bethany. 130 ;gh • ... ;•• i ' Jgfi, Nuss, Coach; Carey, Herrmann Rush, Hamii.l, Baker, Kemp, Mgr.; Marki.ev, C.

Kalbaugh, Captain Baseball, always a popular and successful sport in Bethany, seems due for a comeback after a comparatively poor season in 1926. Following the winning of the Tri- State championship in 1925, the team was riddled by grad- uation, and a let down was naturally expected. In addi- tion it was impossible to arrange a satisfactory schedule, most colleges in the district having given up baseball as a branch of intercollegiate athletics. This year a better schedule has been arranged and it will be possible for the team to play regularly. The most auspicious omen for this year ' s team is the fact that not a single letter man from last year has been lost by graduation. The pitching staff will be intact for the third year in succession, and in consequence should be stronger than an} ' preceding one. Ex-Captain Herrman. the best hurler Bethany has had since the time of Eddie Wells, completes his fourth year of mound duty. We hope it will be better than the others. Harry Kalbaugh and Beckwith, the junior members of the staff, have enough stuff to puzzle any of the batters they may be called upon to face. All three members of the mound corps have a punch at the plate which is far above the average for pitchers. Last year ' s infield, composed of Carey, Peckman, Fiers, Cochran and Price, is augmented by the return of Hartley Jaycox, third-baseman, who did not see service last year because of illness. All of the men are fine fielders and good hitters, and an additional season together will work wonders in team play. Segiel, a freshman last year, quickly won a regular berth at catcher. He comes from McKeesport High, the school which has given us so many of our ball players. .With him behind the bat, the receiving end will be well taken care of. The outfield is doubtful. Crawford ' s place must be filled, but it is probable that Hamill will be out for base- ball again tin ' s spring, and will hold down center- field. The other jobs are open. Nevertheless, it seems assured that Coach Nuss will have a trio of fast, hard- hitting outfielders. The outlook is bright for a successful season in our best sport. A. R.

TRACK V. T. Latto. Coach The track team of 1927 appears to have the brightest out- look of any which has yet represented the school. Bethany has made rapid progress in this line of sport since its inauguration here a few short years ago, but this year ' s squad hopes to surpass all previous performances. Bethany hopes rest, to a great extent, on Captain Virgil El- liott, who has been the sensation of every meet in which he has participated. Elliott is versatile as well as sensational, and is the holder of several Tri-State records which will probably stand for years to come. He is the representative of the squad in the pole vault and high jump, and can always be counted on for a few- points in these events. The broad jump finds him at his best; it was in this event that he broke the Decathlon record at Phila- delphia last spring. In addition, he is a sprinter of marked abil- ity, competing in the 100-yard dash, the 220-yard dash, and the relay. Paul Neel, senior, is another man who is widely known for his speed on the track. Due to injury, he was not at his best last season, but this year we are counting on him in the dashes and the relay. Tarr, who was the fastest man on the squad in 1925, is back again this year in the finest of condition. He can be counted on to outstep most men in the Tri-State district in the hundred, and is another member of the relay team. Morris, the fourth man of the relay, was a freshman last year, and is the youngster of the squad. Nevertheless, his time in the hundred speaks for itself; he can keep pace with his three running mates. In the weight events, Cameron and Elliott are the outstanding performers. In the hammer and discus, Cameron was capable of bringing home a good many points last spring, and he should improve this year. The javelin throw is another event in which Elliot stars; he can make the going hard for any competitor. Coach Latto deserves a great deal of credit for the footing on which he has placed track athletics at Bethany. Under his able tutelage we should have a banner season in 1927.

Olsey and Hibler, alternate captains last spring, and mainstays of the squad, have been lost by graduation. Harry Jones, who won a large number of his matches, and toward the end of th; schedule showed signs of a return to his top form, is not in school this semester. This leaves Captain Ryan as the only remaining letter man from last year. How- ever, the presence of Kirby, a star of the 1925 squad, compensates in a measure for the losses by graduation. Mutchler, who broke into several matches last spring, and who is reputed to have the best service in school, is a sure bet for another of the open positions. This leaves the fourth place to the freshmen, and the battle is likely to be a hot one, for several of the underclassmen have shown ability. It would be hardly fair to expect a team of championship caliber. Indeed, it is hard to see how this year ' s squad can even equal last year ' s. Nevertheless, we can hope for the best, and it is possible that Coach Cramblet may uncover a couple of Tildens. Tennis Schedule, 1927 April 16 April 22 April 26 April 30 May 7 . May 13 . May 14 .

This 5r conference is organized and is in existence for the purpose of stand- ardizing small college athletics in this section of the country. Its principal objective is to eliminate professionalism that in past years has characterized all branches of college sports throughout this district. It has been in existence only two years, this being the third, but it has accomplished, in a large measure, the purpose for which it was created. Our Alma Mater is a prominent member of this collegiate body. Our athletic director, C. V. Elder, serving in the capacity of secretary, has discharged the duties of his office in such an excellent fashion that we have rightfully attained to this prominence. For the purpose of stimulating the correct type of college ath- letes, the Tri-State Conference presents each year to one graduating senior of each institution having membership in the Conference, a beautiful gold medal. This medal is emblematic of efficiency in scholastic attainment as well as athletic prowess. Two of our sons have received this distinction, and we are proud to honor them in this 1927 Year Book. The two men to whom we have reference are Hubbard Shoemake and Ronald Crawford. Both of these men are known to upperclassmen of Bethany, each carrying the same spirit into the classroom that characterized his play upon the athletic field. Hub departed with the Class of 1925, leaving behind him an enviable record as a student and fine college man, as well as an athlete. He is, unquestionably the greatest tackle ever produced in the football history of our institution. Our rivals, W. and J., picked him in 1924 as the greatest tackle to oppose them in the course of the season, and Army also made overtures towards getting him after witnessing his play in the Bethany-Army game of 1924. He captained the 1925 teams in football and basket- ball, being an excellent standing guard in the latter sport. We add here, incidentally, that he was selected as an All-Conference basketball guard of that season. Speedo graduated last year. His achievements are in the minds of every fol- lower of Bethany athletics. He earned the varsity B in three major sports during his school career here. In the spring of 1925, he captained our track squad. His senior year he held down the regular position as running guard on our varsity bas- ketball quintet ' as well as covering centerfield on the Green and White nine of that spring. In spite of all these activities, he managed to compete in two track meets that same spring, and made a very creditable showing in both. He specialized in the middle distances, also competing in the javelin. At present he is in charge of athletics at Bethany High School, acting in the capacity of coach. His basketball team of this season has enjoyed an outstanding record, and we wish him every possible degree of success. •44 dl Women ' s Athletic Association Some hid and sought in the orange thickets; ot Iters tossed a ball above the fountain jets, and back again — with laughter. TENNYSON: THE PRINCESS. Women ' s Athletic Association Founded in 1922 The purpose of the Women ' s Athletic Association is to foster athletics and sports among the women of Bethany College, and to act as a pep organization among the students. The Association is limited to fifteen members, chosen from among those who seem the most vitally interested in promoting sports here, and who have met the requirements for entrance.

Today we do not mourn, but revel in the interest we have been able to arouse among the Bethany girls. We rejoice in four basketball teams, a vital interest in swimming, and, in general, the accelerated enthusiasm we find among the girls of this college in all sports. We have attained no great efficiency, but our aspirations are high. Xo less than forty girls went out for the interclass basketball teams, and great numbers attended the swimming classes regularly. In fact, the swimming team should be a vital part of the seasons to come, although it was only a novelty this season. In short, we may boast of the desire for physical perfection as well as mental de- velopment. As a natural result, our opportunities have increased and our goals have come closer. As an evidence of this new zeal, we may note the training schedule which the girls kept in order to obtain the letter given by the Women ' s Athletic Association. The realization that all this is but a beginning is quite obvious, but what great- ness has not come from small beginnings? We are proud of our aspirations, and hope that they will not be lost by the future co-eds of Bethany. We bequeath to them our enthusiasm and our ideal of physical perfection, and expect these small attempts to be furthered. 1+7 ATHLETICS Athletics, properly conducted, have a value quite apart from the field of physical development. It has, both to the group and to the individual, a moral and social sig- nificance as well. The first athletes of whom we have any certain knowledge were the ancient Greeks. If we are to judge their physique as depicted in sculpture and art, we must admit that they had an advantage over the modern patterns of Mercury and Hercules. Could anyone compare the mighty son of Atlas to the lithe, supple figure of the youth serenading his lady fair? Indeed, the print appearing at the front of this section bears little enough resemblance to our ideas of the famous Hellenic hero. Yet, the accusa- tion remains that most of the present day athletes are of the parlor variety. Is it just? Let us hope that it is not at Bethany. It is the aim of our athletics to approach as nearly as possible the Greek ideal, without including all its faults. The Greeks were not always fair. Victory was the primary consideration. Bethany be- lieves in the ethics of clean sportsmanship. Bethany places the making of men ahead of the winning of victories. J V.

Instead of parking your orbs on the pellet, you let the globule take a tour by its lonesome. You ' re so cuckoo about the ' Collegiate ' that the prolate spheroid oozes through your dukes. Johnny Cramer, whose syndicated sport articles have made him famous because of his pure diction, was speaking. If you would glom onto the hot dope, you would know that nothing but a morbid blot will wear knickers except when he is swinging a midiron. Your intentions are noble, but you follow them up the way that catfish purr. Take a tip from me. I ' m the bivalve ' s dust cap. It ' s just like I told Eliot when I was up at Harvard, I ' d rather wear a wooden overcoat than a yellow slicker. These woofs that buy the pash vests affect me the way a ruby banner hits a calf ' s papa. It is the bunk. A hammock-hopper with a plaid sweater makes me glad I ' m a Queef-Queef. The loud-mouthed Lillies have no more reticence than beefsteak has horns. Why net try to be nice and conservative? Then you can grow up and be an English prof. Turn the lamps on one who knows, and knock off a bit of wisdom for yourselves. You act like a flock of bleachers hollering for Case. Gashouse Johnny paused for breath, and C. Willhad Stage eye-eye busted off. You ' re saying words but they don ' t track. Be funny, you ' re all wet. I got an artistic temperament. Read my column in the Semi-Fortnightly and be convinced. The evidence is plaim to be seen. Notice the kindness with which I treat the herculean efforts of the Fifth Avenue Female Sem- inary. Did you read ray masterly criticism of ' Jurgen ' — the play, not the soap — and then decide whether I must be trammelled with convention? My soul demands the right to wear a dinner jacket with riding breeches and a raccoon coat in August. I must feed my ego. I am young, pitifully young, and I must follow the natural course of development which distinguishes genius from the ' hoi polloi. ' I demand an investigation. Investigate everything. And I point with pride to my wonderful work as technical director of ' Merry Masquers. ' I understand ' Jurgen. ' The Pride of the Mountains smiled his famous smile. In his delicious drawl, he expressed a well-considered opinion. I have been in college as long as any of you guys. It doesn ' t make a whole lot of difference when you wear what if you can call every girl 1 on the East Side by her first name. That is what really means something. After all, we come to college to pick out some woman to support us for the balance of our lives. They have classes so that the fellows can meet each other and then each other ' s Femsem friends. No objection to town girls. So are fraternities. I have belonged to enough of them to know. The Student Council is another de- vice for the benefit of college men. It was designed to support the worthy poor. It has done well by me. But that is just incidental. If you ' re a knockout with the ladies, why worry about the profs? I love the ladies and the ladies all love me. ATHLETICS All-College Teams With the death of Walter Camp, the responsibility of picking the following athletic teams has fallen upon our shoulders, necks and all that is up in that section of the anatomy, and since it is up to us, we have figured that we will add the following departments: All-College Necking Team WOMEN First Team Position Evabelle Viets Standing Gladys Beery Sitting Frances White . .

The evening was spent in bridge, checkers, dominos, and at linguistic games, followed by a fourteen- course luncheon. The house was decorated in ermine and gold. Favors consisted of sable coats, and silver lamps were given to the women, together with snappy little sport model Packards as a mere re- minder of what they had gone through. It is said that the party was an expensive one — costing only approximately $50,000, and was not entirely up to standard as set by the social leaders of this vicinity. A jazz orchestra made up of members of the fraternity furnished the incentive for a struggle that was not permitted. Confetti chewing furnished part of the pastime. A police raid inter- rupted the solemnity of the occasion, but it was only a part of the program. A nice time was had by all. As the Women Saw It The worst flop of the ages was attended by some who could find nothing to do Friday night at the I Slamba Guy frat house. Favors consisting of opportunities to walk to and from the house were given to the women, who showed their house spirit by attending. The house was decorated in patched wall paper, sorted house skins, dusty chairs and what nots (lots of what nots). Rotten chow was served, and no likker allowed, with the exception of a few whiskey bottle corks which were chained to the fireplace. The guests were permitted to smell the corks, although the odor was weak, having been mostly all absorbed by the brothers previous to the fracas. Fifty per cent of the faculty were present to act as chaperons, and special high-powered lights had been installed in all corners and over all davenports. Tacks were in the davenports so that occupancy would not be for too long a time. A good time was had by all (after leaving). As the Faculty S aw It Friday morning and night saw one of the most damnable orgies ever staged under our watch- ful eye. Early morning rising disturbed the tranquility of the community, dancing broke the rules of the institution, and rubber boots were worn by all present. The outrage w as one of the promo- tions of the I Slamba Guy fraternity. The upstairs had previously been fixed up in hospital style, and a physician and nurse were in attendance. Many cases of tonsilitis had been imported, and, according to our scoutical in- formation, which had proved reliable in the past, many of the participants are under the weather. For those who could do nothing else dancing was permitted by the Morons in charge, the music for which was furnished by the sub-normals of the group. An investigation will follow. A deplorable time was indulged in by all. 153 Home-Coming Girls ' Orchestral Home- Comind Chorus © Freshman Day- -Parties Senior Kid Party Zeta.3ra.wl A Retrospect September Dear Diary: So this is college ' T know I shall like it. The White Cargo arrived on the twentieth, with John Paul as motorman. I noticed two bathing beauties on the dean ' s list of new students- Miss Cleveland and Miss Washington. Such competition will be trying for a new freshman, I m afraid There have been several novel social events— the annual Sod-busters Reunion, a Y. W. C A ' kid party, a church reception, and girl ' s sorority parties no end. Oh, Diary! I wish you could see the clever looking fellows! Someone told me the Sigs got so many pledges that Alt Carey has to carrv a typewritten list to remember them. Everyone has been talking about Kirk being on biz. What can this mean? October Dear Diary: It makes me so proud to belong to the Class of 1930. Prexy says it ' s such an unusual group of freshmen. But the Sophs won ' t give us a chance! I shall never forget how stupid, we felt on Freshman Day, the fourteenth. Bethany ' s athletic program has been rather disappointing this month, showing no victories, tied games with Westminster and Duquesne, and a defeat at the hands of Geneva. However, the student body, including the co-eds, has lots of spirit. I have never seen Babe Dowden, but everyone has been telling, since his death a few days ago, that he was a character no Bethany grad can ever forget. Mary Ann Crowe confused him with Bebe Daniels, and her home town paper reported the death of the actress in a West Virginia village. There was another funeral this month— that of the Student Council. Forrest Kirkpatrick deserves credit for the organization of a Student Board of Governors. There have been many social engagements. The Betas put on the dernier cri in parties when they made us girls cook the dinner for their weekly Saturday at home. The K. A. ' s, Alpha Xi ' s and Phi Tau ' s also entertained. November Dear Diary: This has been a hectically busy month, considering two football victories, pep demonstra- tions, studies, and parties. From the 1 6th to the 19th everybody joined in the week of prayer for exams. Two new engagements were announced — Lucille and Ottie; Jane and Al. In the social world, the Alpha Xi Delta party at Campbell Mansion, the Zeta Hobo party, and the Beta Masqued Carnival were of interest to all, particularly to the gold diggers. There was a wedding on Thanksgiving— that of Miss Lois White and Mr. John Adams, Bethany graduates. The Arrival of Kitty, was presented in Commencement Hall on Armistice Day. When Ruth Dye was going through her Athletic Club initiation, Prof. Workman remarked, Two more dumb-bells in class this morning. He would. All the keyholes were stuffed with mud when I went to class today (November 16), and Mrs. Bourne ' s chairs were missing. Boys will be children ! I wondered what Prexy meant by saving that the Student Board of Governors seemed to be functioning! ! ! December Dfar Diary: It was announced in chapel that anyone wishing to arrange dates should see Kirk, and I was about to ask him to try to fix me up with that high-hatting Stuart fellow, when I learned that the announcement referred to social dates for organizations, and that the calendar was al- ready full. We had the unusual privilege, in a single week, of entertaining two famous men, and in listening to them in chapel — Mr. Black of China and Mr. Black of England — Lloyd George with a hair cut, as he was called. Another enjoyable experience was the Marionette ' s performance of A Midsummer Night ' s Dream, the first number of the lecture course. Vacation is here at last! As I think back over the last week, a thrill sweeps over me. How can I ever forget singing Christmas carols in the light of a clear, cool moon, or fail to remember the Sigma Nu party at the Henry Clay Tavern, where Don Salmon was presented with a fur coat by his fraternity brothers! Merry Christmas! January Dear Diary: Happy New Year! I have resolved to follow the dictates of Dame Fashion, no matter how ended the fourth, and signs of prosperity high she says to wear them. Christmas vacation have been visible on the campus ever since. Lee Beckwith ' s five have been showing wonderful floor work in the seven games this month, winning all the home games. Besides, there have been two lecture course numbers — Harriet Eells, mezzo-soprano, and the Sitting Trio, which was exceptionally fine. The Merry Masquers Dramatic Club presented The Stone Lady under the direction of John Paul Pack. In the world of society there was a Phi Kappa Tau Underworld Party, a Senior Class re- ception, a Zeta Tau Alpha party. The marriage of Mr. Frank Stuck was announced. Lent was unduly harsh this year because of the iron hand of judgment, which put all Sigma Nu girls off biz. Examinations! O Lord of Hosts, be with me yet, Lest I forget; lest I forget. February Dear Diary: The Lord of Hosts was with me not, For I forgot, for I forgot. February 8, 1927, A. C. (After Charleston) was registration day. Like turning over a new leaf — this chance to begin again. Mable Arnold has decided to major in Economics, since she is so interested in Prices. The annual mid-year party was a Pirate Brawl, beginning with a movie, continuing by a scene on board the good ship Damfino, and closing by a typical pirate lunch in the basement of the library. The Pro and Conn of the program brought a lot of applause. The 1 8th and r9th were home-coming, and every minute was full of x-citement. First was the big game with Geneva, then banquets, receptions, fraternity initiations, and finally, the daz- zling home-coming revue. The sport program showed only one disappointment — a loss of 19 to 21 at the hands of Duquesne. All seven of the others were thrilling games. Ln Workman came back again, and everyone was so glad to see her. The basketball team took a week-end trip into West Virginia. Helen Thompson haunts the postnffice looking for a letter from Carl. Everyone is speculating as to how the new boys will go. Two former Bethanians, Dutch Idleman and Richard Dungari, were here for flying visits. March Dear Diary: The almanac says that if March comes in like a lion it goes out like a lamb, but if it comes in like a Iamb, it ' s still a lyin ' . The basketball season closed gloriously. Jack Hamill and Bake formed the Red Grange Club (One Minute to Play). They ' ve decided to take Hartley Jaycox as a pledge. Saint Patrick ' s Day was observed with much show of green and white. Red MacLean doesn ' t seem to be able to forget that Memphis girl of his, and keeps the post- office busy and the telephone wires hot. The other day George Kirby lost his hat as he was going up the hill in the March breeze. Someone reported that the creek would be dragged in an effort to recover the valuable article. A reward is also offered for its return. April Dear Diary: Stew has been out every day working on the college, farm. His father wants him to be a pharmacist, so he ' s taking agriculture this semester. This month is all very discouraging to me. First, there was the Reign of Terror — exams week, and, second, mid-semester reports came out on the eighth. We all came back on the sist to rest up after Easter vacation, which began on the fifteenth. Aunt Pearl held a meeting of the girls to tell them that muddy shoes would be taken as proof that the walking rules were being broken again. Now I ' m frightened to death, because I always seem to have a date who loves the Beta walk. May Dear Diary: It ' s so much fun going to the baseball games and wearing great big straw hats because the sun is so bright. Our fellows certa inly know how to play baseball. I can ' t decide which sport I like best; the fellows are all so good looking. The Bethanian has now gone to press. Would that, with the eyes of a prophet, I might look into the future and see what will happen here when two more months have rolled around. Will Bill put his pin on Tic? Will our baseball team score its usual number of victories? Will we beat W. and J. again in track? June Dear Diary: June, the month of roses, and our campus will be a haven of beauty. Well, it deserves the distinction of being one of the ten most beautiful in America. If all other memories of my college days should leave me, surely the inspiration which came with gazing at the loveliness of Nature here will follow me all the days of my life. June 12 is the date set for the Baccalaureate Sermon; June 13 the sorority banquets will be given; June 15, annual commencement and fraternity banquets.

FOOTBALL REVIEW (Continued from Page 126) of success in the offensive as well as the defensive play of the team. The whole Bison machine functioned as a unit and gave promise of better things in the two remaining games. Katy Easterdav, a former Bethanv coach, but now directing the football destiny of closest Conference rivals, ' received a distinct shock on the Saturday following the Thiel game when a scrappy varsity of the Green blasted his Conference aspirations by defeating Waynesburg 7 to o. When Carl drove over the goal line from the one-yard line in the second quarter, after Shives had carried the ball into striking distance on a forward pass from Carey, the game, as far as scoring was concerned, was over. Not so, however, from another angle, as the ensuing three periods witnessed a terrific defensive game by both elevens. No other scoring opportunities pre- sented themselves for either team, in spite of Waynesburg once being dangerously close to the Bison goal as a result of a poor punt. Again the whole varsity featured with its team play, and returned to the George Washington Hotel that evening for a belated Thanksgiving dinner, a happy, even though a tired and battered squad. Dame Fortune, in the form of two unfortunate fumbles and a much sought after blocked kick, presented the Conference champs, Geneva, with a football game on November 27. All of the above happened in a few short minutes in the first quarter of our game with Geneva, and re- sulted in a 20 to o score. For three quarters following this orgy of scoring, the Bisons fought a very good Geneva team to the proverbial standstill, but could not succeed in scoring. This last game of our schedule was played on a very cold, muddy field, and, although defeated, our varsity gave a very good account of itself after that disastrous first quarter. Two unfortunate incidents marred the game. Stobbs and Neel were both rather badly injured late in the second half. The final whistle dropped the curtain on the 1926 football season, and witnessed the passing of Neel, Shives, Kinsey and Carey from active football service for Old Bethany. 163 BETHANY COLLEGE Founded by Alexander Campbell in 1840 A STANDARD COLLEGE LITERARY SOCIETIES ATHLETICS CLOYD GOODNIGHT President BETHANY COLLEGE BOOK STORE Books, Stationery, and College Supplies College Jewelry, Pennants, Jewelry, etc. Athletic Goods, Kodaks and Supplies EAT STORCK ' S BREAD It is as Good as the Best ROLLS, CAKES, COOKIES W.
