Composite of Bethany ' s Beauty sketch by Frank Zecca And perhaps this, rri) ' boys, is why you haven ' t been dating, for this is Bethany ' s most beautiful girl — compositelv speaking. Frank Zecca, our annual class photographer, is the artist, and his sketch was not a determined at- tempt to catalogue collegiate beauty, but merely the result of an idle, sub- conscious file of Bethany ' s beautiful features — Being interviewed during his latest visit to the campus, Zecca stated definitely and without reser- vation that our co-eds are, generally speaking, the most beautiful of any he has seen. I ' m only sorry I can ' t be as complimentary to the boys. But this beauty, — it ' s deeper than that — it ' s a sociability, a genuine character about the girls — that I appreciate. Bryn Mawr, Cornell, Cedarcrest, Elmira, — I photograph them all, and they can ' t compare. (And perhaps you didn ' t believe the remark in this month ' s editorial.) And the boys? They ' re nice too, but can ' t you girls make them shareV (Ah! Out of the mouth of an Out- sider, male at that!) Zecca thought it wiser to with- hold the possessor of the individual features, and besides, guessing won ' t be that hard — or unpleasant. The hair, he admitted, is a little unusual, it is rather idealized or styled in the manner proper for Interfratcrnity. And make-up? The great majority of the girls use the correct amount. Our beauty? It merely needed the words of an expert to verify our opinion and is worthy, editorially speaking, of a weekly shaved male.

trips planned when the weather is pcrmissable, and these expeditions are complete with lectures by either Dr. Weimcr or Professor Sumptine. Dr. B. R. Wcimer obtained his degree of Dr. of Philo- sophy from the University of Chicago in 192 8, seven years after he became a professor at Bethany Col- lege. In addition to his duties as head of the de- partment. Dr. Weimer is the Dean of the Faculty ' , and serves on the County School Board. The text- book for General Biology now in use at Bethany, was written by Dr. Weimer in collaboration with P. D. Strausbough, Professor of Botany at Morgantown, Professor W. J. Sump- stine holds a Masters de- gree which was given him in 1930, and since then he has completed most of his work on the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Pitts- burgh under Dr. Jennings. Professor Sumpstine is also kept busy as Mayor of Bethany and as an amateur radio en- thusiast. In the past four years there have been thirty-five stu- dents graduated with majors in Biology. Among the most notable of these is William Montagna who provided most of the drawings in the textbook now used for Gen- eral Biology. Dorothy Reynolds used the micrograph, an instrument for taking pictures of microscopic biological specimens, to take a picture of an amphioxus. The amphioxus is the lowest form of cordate and, if Darwin be correct, may be considered the ancestor of the fish and as such would be the ancestor of birds, reptiles, animals of all types, and, of course, the genus homo.

' f - it r. This noon at lunch Hutch announced an Open Season on All Eligible Males for the week-end of the twenty- fourth. Oh, joy! Now I can grab me a real live male. But whom shall I grab? I think I ' ll be particular and ask only one man. This afternoon I seized my opportunity and asked the man of my choice for a date. Of course I was very subtle. His arm will never be the same where I grabbed him. Play hard to get is my motto. (Just think— A REAL LIVE MAN WITH MUSCLES!) When I came in tonight, I tried to get upstairs past the phone booth. The first time I tried, I couldn ' t get past the first step. Well, thought I, I ' ll wait a few minutes and then try again. Soon there was no person in sight. Seizing my chance I sneaked quietly around the corner and start- ed up the stairs. Brrrr-ing! went the phone. I lay quietly on the stairs as the thundering herd pounded over me. Then I weakly dragged my mangled body up to the third floor, and decid- ed to join the throng. But who were the lucky men to be? Ah! Inspiration! That handsome Ray Rappaport, the Biology Lab. assistant whom everyone was simply gaga about. I called the Beta House and was told by the gentleman (?) who answered the phone, that if all the ladies, who were calling Rap, would form a line his secretary would take care of them. Finally I located this popular young man and got a date with him. Then I con- templated on other fortunate males. Oh, happy thought! The one and only Monty Stratton. You know, the fel- low who comes over to the swimming pool and sits around in his trunks and dis- plays his magnificent physi- PAGE EIGHT
