CRAMBLET 18 Ttom I ne. - te6Lclent It is a pleasure to greet the students and friends of Bethany through the pages of the 1938 Bethanian. We hope that this record of a year ' s life at Bethany will become more precious to you with passing years. Memories of lessons learned, of friendships formed, become increasingly dear as they grow old along with you. The traditions and purposes of the college are to be a reflection of your own spirit and purposes. Your interest in the college and its undertakings may well be one of your important if not your chief concerns. With your help and support, those who direct the affairs at Bethany in future years will be able to build a college which you will be proud to praise in song and story. As you turn the pages of this book may the spirit move you to return often to the college on the hill which has become your college. Old Bethany, thou fairest of all . Sincerely yours, W. H.

Who can forget the feelings we had as we dro ' e into Bethany that cold, rainy Sunday almost four ' ears ago For five short days we were the center of attraction, and then . poof ' . , came the sophomores ' It wasn ' t long before we learned that wc were only Frosh , and we had better watch our step. We had hardly recovered from rushing week w hen we were notified by the sophomores that we would ha e to purchase dinks and handbooks . . . price — 50c each. Result — meeting of the F reshman class in Commencement Hall under cover of darkness, and a de- cision to pay only 55c for both Outnumbered almost three to one, our tormenters gave way- Remember the snake dance all over town that followed our foot- ball victory over Fairmont . , the only one of the season How im- portant and grown-tip we felt when we went home for Christmas vacation ' How young and inexperienced those high school kids seemed ' Hardly had we settled down to sttidying again w hen c.xams were upon us, and being only breshmen, most of us burned the pro- erbial midnight oil ho w ill forget the row that followed the stealing of that notorious look from the Phillips Hall cloor Remember how the young males surged up the hill in protest when dates were prohibited ' ' And how skillfully Prexie Cramblet broke up the famous pajama party that followed The Prom, Arbor Day, and exams followed in swift succession and we found ourselves no longer Freshmen Stich a grand ' n ' glorious feelin . What a difference a few months made! We w,ere now Sophomores with all the rights and privileges thereof. We showed the incoming class our power in a tug-o-war across the Buffalo that ended in a free-for-all in mid-stream, after the rope broke the third time. Plenty of excitement for all when the Buffalo thawed out and covered the surrounding countryside with ice and excitement. It wasn ' t very long after this that the beatitiful Ohio went on a ram- page, and everyone cut classes to walk into Wellsburg to see the flood . . . yes, even the faculty! 24 Dr W ' eimer became our new Dean, but his promotion didn ' t change his pun frequenc ' one bit. All of us have fleeting memories of the Freshman-Sophomore Prom, and still more fleeting memories of those Sophomore Comprehensives we sweated o er on that beautiful day in May. Remember the swell Inter-Fraternity Ball with Sammy Kaye! ' A perfect finish to a perfect year It doesn ' t seem possible, but o er si.xty of us became Juniors. We won ' t forget how gloriously some of our members battled on the gridiron to bring Bethany si.x ' ictories during the season, and the fun we had at the first annual All-College Christmas Party Re- member Dr. oolery in that yellow wig in the faculty play Spring came again to Bethany and the annual pilgrimages to the swinging bridge and Three Falls became the main attraction on Sunday after- noons. Some of us felt that way enough to put our pins out, and others felt that way enough to accept them. Another mo ' e-up day passed and we w ere no loiiger Juniors. How time has flown ' . Seniors at last! How strange the old school seemed with the new- rooms in under the corridor, and old Freshman alley painted and plastered. We couldn ' t quite get used to the new athletic field across the way either. Such progress ' Half of the famous corridor had been done o er in tile. too. The jin.x seemed to follow our football team wherever it went, and the infimiary was filled to overflowing with battered warriors. E en the Moo Moo Moo demonstrations didn ' t seem to help. Lots of ice skating on the Buffalo with plenty of thrills, chills, and spills. Those darn semester exams again ! They didn ' t worry us much because we had become hardened to them after four years. Only Freshmen worr ' about such things. Well, well ' We seniors held a class meeting and decided to present a bronze plaque to the school ... as our gift. It will be a long time before we forget how the mouse stole the show at the Penny Carnival, and how we threw peanut shells and pennies during the mellodrammer in Commencement Hall. A few more dances, comprehensives, and then graduation. The four most eventful years in our lives have passed. To those who are to follow we leave our school with its ideals and traditions. Mav thev come to love Bethany as we have! 25 SENIORS Marjorie Aldrich Y W. C. A. 1. 2; V. A, A. 2. Treble Clef 2, 3, 4. Church Choi r 3 . 4 Bethespian Club 3 ; Education Club 4.

One stacks the rooms — a dastard trick; They throw him in the icy crick . These aspirants for lasting lame Must fittingly engrave their name In letters bold in some high place Where jealous hands can not efface. Accordingly, one frosty morn. Defying threats with lolty scorn. The numbers nineteen thrity nine Across the gym root proudly shine. Of course, these greenhorn trusting gekes Espouse the cause o( warring Greeks. They wear some glittering de ice And guard it well at any price. ' f The Freshman-Sophomore formal dance I Affords the co-ed her first chance j To reign supreme in formal gown, And bring herself to sweet renown. i Semester finals came at last. !l A few have flunked but more ha e passed. ' !i The six score Freshmen now can feel ' 1 That college life is something real. But soon the warmth of long spring days j Bathes all the campus in a haze. i That blinds their eyes to book and pen |j And life is just a dream again. || E ' er long the Frosh are Frosh no more ij They take the name of Sophomore; l ' Sophisticated Sophomores. Who sleep through class with raucous snore. They paint themscKes with fame and gore On football field and hardwood floor; Or ace the stage with pompous speech And fail their tests from Shaw and Leitch. These Sophomores now take their place As Juniors blithe with fitting grace. ' S These Juniors blithe, yet dignified. Their former selves they now would hide. Though dignity is theirs, we yet I ' heir former seKes can not forget. For still across the gym roof shine The numbers nineteen thrity nine. 41 spencer Adamson Betty AlJerman Ralph Burgtrr Read C:halfani Jane Cluss Thomas Crcmblet Kenneth Crawford Gerald Crou hore Joe Dornbn Hildreth Elwell John Erskine irginia horsythe Joe Funk June GaMcv Vivian Gilbert Patty Grimn John Haudenshield Joseph Hauner Margaret Heckle illiani 1 lettler Betty Hough Doroth Johnson 1 hfodt.rt- Jiihnson Ruth Knuwits Lillian Mallory Irma Moats Raymond Moore Robert Morrow I 42 j H JI P P k Vil m ' ' ii l k 4 hM O R S Bcuy Mullen Leo Mullman Janet Murray Norma McAdams Raymond McAllister I rene McCrory Jack McGinty Jean McKenna Andrew Noland Richard Porter Thomas Rogers Ethel Schafit: James Shank Clarence Sloss Bessie Southard Robert Spray James Steele Robert laslor Clifford Thomas Virginia Tidwcll George Irickett Jean Vetter Bertha Weaver Betty Werner Fred West wood George Whitehead Victor Wicks Dellc Williams 43 iiLitotu Perhaps it was the paradox of our being, as freshmen, simultane- ously the baby elass of the Bethany campus and the centenarians of 1940 that accounted for the return of only 104 of our original 154 this year. Or could it be this paradox that made the class so enter- prising — full of the vitality of infancy and the resolute determination of maturity Bethany students still tread daily upon the remains of our once garishly yellow numerals 1 40 on the Main Walk, deposited there during our Freshman Hazing Week, before our boys won the skirmish in the Buffalo that November Saturday in dribbling snow. We did accomplish two things our freshman year: the presentation of A A. Milne ' s The Romantic Age, and, smiling at our rivals the sophs, cooperated in the achievement of the Freshman-Sophomore Prom This year as sophomores, however successful or unsuccessful we might have been we decided to haze the frosh w ith a little more vigor than we had received Organizing Oct. 7 for this pui ' pose we elected Kenneth Underwood, president ; Harry Clemens, vice president . Marilyn Roberts, secretary; and Mary Jane South, treasurer. Stimulated with the echoes of class spirit created by rivalry with the frosh, our class cheered long and loud at the Intcrclass Volley- ball Tournament this winter. (Note: We only took thiixl place ) However the class members have achieved honor antl attaine l prominence in practically every Bethany activity with the FX- CEPTION of volleyball. Ken Underwood, class president, won the third prize of twenty dollars at the annual West Virginia Collegiate Peace Oration Contest ; two of the new l - elected sororit presidents and the chairman of the non-sorority group are sophomores; also fi e of the nine models in the April Flower and Fashion Revue were sophomores. The class of 1940 has been well represented in athletics, social service work in McKinleyville, musical activities anei dramatic productions. Undaunted by those perspiration-producing Sophomore Com- prehensives, we of 1940 are ready to wiggle our toes in the Junior class shoes and step off a few more worthwhile paces on the road of college experience.

The club ' s purpose is to acquaint Bethany pre-medical students w ith various phases of medicine and surgery and w ith the requirements for a good prac- titioner. This information is derived from speakers, outstanding in various phases of the medical profession in the tri-state area, and from papers written and presented by members of the club.

This year the specific aim of the Physical Science Club has been to increase the students ' know- ledge of the Ocations based upon the practical applications of the sciences, and of the place of college-trained men in industry ' . Accordingly, most of its programs this ear ha e been motion pictures pertaining to some industry, and talks b - men in industry, Sexeral ' ery interesting speakers w ere secured through the cooperation of the eirton Steel Company.

We have made an honest effort with the re- sources at hand to make the book as representa- tive a record of the school year as possible. A curtailed budget added quite a few hours of toil and several gray hairs for the Business Manager and Editor. In planning the 1Q38 Bethanian the staff de- cided that there should be no special theme, but that the book should be as informal as possible. We hope it meets with your appro ' al. Should the plans of the Board of Publications now under way be accepted, this may be our last Bethanian as a year book.

During the past school year, the staff, working on the assumption that a bi-weekly paper in a small college can publish little of essential news value placed greater em- phasis on the function of the Collegian as an organ of student opinion, al- though its position as a record of student e ents was not minimized In its editorial columns and especially in the Agenda, from the Editor ' s desk, were printed pertinent criticisms of student problems Particular stress was placed on the interfraternit spirit and the appropriation of student funds and consideration of student interests by the Student Board of Gover- nors, 65 rii rs •fff-rf EetkcLnLf (-oLUqe l iLnbtetLdL -fiidocL tlon The Bethany College Ministerial Association is composed of students who are interested in religious training for work in the ministry and other related fields The group meets at various stated times for discussion meet- ings, papers, and speakers.

Besides gi ' ing quite a bit of their time to the regular Sunday church services, the choir has presented three major performances to the college. These three highlights in the history of the 1Q37-38 choir were the pre- sentations of Gounod ' s Gallia at fall homecoming.

The Glee Cluh completed a successful season during the school year of 1 37-38 The members of the organization and the college have profited from the preparation and presentation of the repertoire The annual tour afforded an opportunity to present the Glee Club in a considerable number of both formal and informal appearances. If enthusiasm on the part of the performers can be used as a measure of excellence, the programs presented on this tour were worthwhile The complete program included a group of tenor solos, a clarinet solo and a group of numbers by the Varsity Male Quartet in addition to several groups of numbers presented by the entire organization. The director of the Glee Club, Professor Rush Carter, merits the sincere appreciation of his work during the season which the group has expressed by splenciid cooperation in the work of the club.

Hlet ' -QikUtlc KocLtcl oh (lonttoL This board is comprised of the various athletic coaches, both male and female; a female student representative, and a male representa- tive from each class. Professor Booth is the president o( the club. As indicated by its name, the function of the club is to regulate the athletic program of the college from a financial angle Among it ' s minor functions, it designates the reciuirements necessary before an athlete may receive his varsity B , It also exerts its control over all athletic banquets, dances and other entertainments. Among the decisions handed down by the club this year were: an appropriation for boxing to help that sport in it ' s first year at Bethany, a decision to establish inter-class baseball — this was re- voked because of improper facilities However, with our new ath- letic field shaping up, baseball seems certain to begin it ' s come- back to the position it once held at Bethany Among less important decisions were: to enter our basketball team in the State Tourna- ment at Clarksburg, shift the scene of our track meet with West Virginia University to K4organtown due to lack of equipment, and to pass on students eligible for the Varsit - IV letter, (Pete) 94 Iietka.nu toowcllL Back row Da e Rodefer.

Misfortune took a hand, however, when a much heavier W J team had to cripple most of our first team before they could assert their 9-0 superiority Strangely enough, it was the Bisons belief that a w in in this game would have changed the season ' s record. With our key men out of the lineup, Kenyon further demoralized our troops by winning in a manner that was hard to explain They just won ' 14-0 With several more injured men we took the field against Morris Harvey, a team that we had beaten 5Q-0 the pre ious year It was at this point that we had si.x ailing halfbacks on the bench, I ' hey blocked practically every punt we tried, to wallop us 27-b in our own back yard. At Hiram our third quarterback was put out of action The first was forced to play from the sidelines with an internal inji.ir His successor, a transformed fullback, badly sprained his ankle necessi- tating the transfer of one of our regular tackles to the quarterback post. When his nose was broken. Coach was ready to throw in a towel. We ran all over Hiram in view of these handicaps with 22 first downs, but games are won on touchdowns . . . we lost 14-12, 96 i? Gene a was the lion, we were the crippled lamb . . a perfect set-up; hut our almost super-human efforts netted us exactly a 13-0 loss. By this time the injured members began to come around one by one. Unfortunately. Glen ille proxed to be better sw immers and with se eral timeh ' breaks the ' won I ' -Z in a sea of mud and water The last w eek of practice, saw for the first time since the beginning of the season enough men to form two teams. Throughout the season there were only about eighteen men able to appear on the field. The only chance we had to work plays was in the games themseh ' es. It was great to ha e the whole team again ith onl - a week of practice we at last, showed our true form by decisi ely pushing back a pesk - Fairmont team 12-0. This ictory supplied a fitting tribute to Captain Milan Blistan and Seniors James E erhart, Arch Kinsey. and Harr ' Sykes who are lea ' ing behind them a- cancies that will be difficult to fill. 97 IlcL LtUtl In looking over the results of the past season we see that from a schedule of 20 games 13 were dropped to worthy opponents while the other se en were won b the Kni htmen The boys got off to a good start by copping four straight from Hol- brook, Hiram, Kenyon, and Gene a but hit a snag when they bumped up against Westminster and came out of the skirmish on the losing end of the score, bO to 40 The Bisons returned to the home floor and took a game from Fairmont s Fighting Teachers. Next they traveled to Marietta, Ohio, where they suffered their worst defeat of the season, 71- 0 Returning home a victory was taken from a strong St. Vincent team. Following this game the boys hit a streak of bad kick and as a result 10 straight games were dropped to opponents in the order of Salem, Geneva, Wesleyan, St Vincent, Westminster, W J., Fairmont, Glenville, Wesleyan, and Glenville The team finally snapped OLit of it by conquering Salem at Salem by the score of 47-45, The curtain dropped on the M- ' ' ' basketball season for the (jreen and White when the Bisons journeyed to W . ' J antl were handled a defeat 1 to 33. In totaling up the scores for the season we find that Bethany scored a total of 972 points against lOd for opponents. Scoring honors for the season went to Ralph Burger who had a total of 241 , but he was followed close by George Petroff who had a sum of 230 points to his record. Burger also led the team in the number of foul shots made with a record of 41 out of 74. Petroff also ran a close second with 44 out of 83. With Coach Knight losing only two men, Harry Sykes and Jack Chorpenning, from the squad we should look forward to a very suc- cessful season for 38-3 ' 3 The basketball team entcrcLl the W V ' a.

The lact that only a few of last years men were lost and there is much new material should make the team a winning one Coach Boettcher has succeeded in lining up a more rounded team than Bethany has had in recent years, with material for the field events as well as the running e ' ents. The schedule this year is a heavy one with all of the meets being held in a three week period. The team opens their season at the Penn Relays at Philadelphia, and follows in dual meets with Wash- ington and Jefferson, University of West Virginia, Ohio University and the University of Pittsburgh. They also plan to enter the Cri- state meet to be held at Geneva. 100 oii (2ountti The 1 ' 337 squad began working out under its new mentor, Professor Walter Boettcher, with a good group of runners. From the teams of the past two years returned arsity lettermen J, Brown, D. Fultz, A, Kuti and D. Mcllroy. Incoming freshmen were a valuable asset to the team In dual meets with Carnegie Tech, Farlham, Pitt J. V., and Pitt Varsity, the team won all but the latter Hopes for an excellent team next fall are very promising, and with just a little more interest and support cross-country will be one of Bethany ' s winning teams. For The Bethanian (Don Mcllroy) I ennli The tennis team, coached h Dr. W ' m Frskine, was a more formidable outfit than in the past few years. Though not a consistent winner, the team, did as well as could be expected. Varsity lettermen W. Callendine, J. Frskine, S Gibson, R, Camp and D. Mcllroy of 1 ' 537 ' s team, were augmented by Nelson Ward, a former student, and freshmen T. Cullison, D. Rosensteele and Jim Campbell. For The Bethanian (Don Mcllroy) 101 liox-Lna I (l CLfn Early this year a new athletic organization was formed on this campus; namely, the arsity boxing team Under the able direction of Joe Gaynor and Mr Boettcher the small group of men trained hard until they were in shape for some real bouts In a short time they had arranged a fine schedule with a number of the district schools, and then the jinx that seemed to follow our other athletic teams struck them, placing a large number of the squad on the sick list. Most of the matches had to be postponed. Finally, after most of them had recovered, they went over to Wash-Jeff and gave the Presidents a real lesson in fisticuffs, losing by the close score of 3-4 This match pro ed to be the onl inter- scholastic one of the season, but that single match was sufficient to show everyone that we have an interest in boxing here at Bethany, and that we have some real reasons lor being interested. This coming college year should prove to be a real event for our boxers, as a number of exciting matches have already been planned. With a few more men to choose from and a precedent to follow this organization will really go places next year. 102 -(-Icknou Uclamen t6 The staff of the nineteen hundred and thirty-eight Bethanian annual wish to express their sincere ap- preciation and thanks to the students, faculty, and organizations for their splendid cooperation in helping to make this ear s annual a success. Due to misinterpretation of information received from the College, Joe Hauner, Fred estwood and George W hitehead were placed by mistake in the Junior section instead of the Senior section. 103 The Modern Aid To Modern Education MODERN LIGHTING If you do not have an I. E. S. Lamp which is scientifically de- signed for reading and study, you are making your work hard- er and possibly endangering your eyesight. In extended school experiments it has been shown definitely that students who study under proper lighting conditions make progress faster than others who study where lighting is poor. Get an I. E. S.
