We ask, College — What is it? College is many things. But the true worth of the institution will e -er rest upon the shoulders of the professors who lead us down the academic corridor and open the doors to knowledge and intellectual awareness. To them, the professors of Bethany College, we dedicate this publication. More especially, we single out a man to represent their group, Professor Emmett E. Roberts, Head of the Department of Journalism. Teacher, writer, scholar, a man well aware of and responsive to his collegiate and worldly environ- ments, he has contributed much to Bethany College and a generation of aspirant undergraduates. This year of 1948 marks his twentieth year as a member of the Bethany faculty — twenty years of endeavor, that the question asked on the pages of this annual, College — What is x.V shall always receive a respectful reply. -. s. Professor E, E. Roberts OtUfUtt You are about to look at a work which in the final analysis is really an experi- ment, and certainly a new experience for the entire staff of this Bctluiuian of 1948. For over eight months our small group has attempted to produce approxi- mately one-hundred and forty-four pages of the history of Bethany College stu- dents m the academic year 1947-48. Although our efforts have brought forth results, the overall collection of memorabilia is an example to some degree of naivete on our behalves about publication schedules and procedures, production c osts, methods of photography, etc. However, again taken as a whole, the entire staff sincerely hopes that this issue of the Bethanian of 1948 will provide for all of you readers many future enjoyable hours of entertainment that will forever remind } ' ou of your friends, your campus activities, and above all your college. The Editors and Staff Editor. Robert Boyd Business Manager, Robert Riedkl Managing Editor, Frank Leach Art Editor, Ronnie Weissman Associate Editor, William Bonville Ttom Pkksidi£N ' t W ' ilrlr H. Cramblet We are pleased to have this oppditiiiiiry to bring greetings to the students and friends of Bethany College in the year 1948. The college is moving forward in Its several undertakings. Future growth of the college will be dependent upon the interest and support of those who ha e enioyed the Bethany experience. We welcome to the campus the Bttluinidn of 194.S with its record of the niter- ests, activities, and accomplishments of the student body of Bethany College during the year ending in June, 1948. Ihe first year book of the college, known as the Meteor, was published in 1898, just fifty years ago. Except for two periods, 1900 to 1904 inclusive, and more recently 1945 to 1947, when none were published, these year books turmsh a valuable record of student life at Bethan ' for half a century. They are read with curiosity and interest by Ireshmen and are referred to and treasured by ahimni. A book such as this may not give a complete answer to the (juesnon, College — What is it. ' , but it furnishes a record oi college friends ami experiences that will become increasingly precious from year to year, it will ser e to remind you of your place in the family of Bethamans and will call you to her serxiee as ymi arc able. Workmg together we shall Iniikl Betliany into the future and come to sing to our Alma .Mater with a deepening sense of purpose: High up on the scroll of honor and fame. Thy sons, strong and manly, have written th name. olL aae i leairtn u ofna A nil Diiik ' nii II nr:c homr; I ' lfhaps that first going crwiiy.

Name please, roared the Judge. Bethany Graduate of 1948, snapped back the answer in a brave tone. Bethany Graduate of 1948? The Judge laughed, in fact he almost exploded with hiLighter. Bethany Graduate of 1948.? Hah! Again he doubled up in mirth. How old are vou. ' he asked when his laughing had subsided. Pick a number trom nineteen to thirt - or more, candidh ' replied the Grad- Scowhng down at the Graduate now, the Judge waggled a finger at the lone figure. Don ' t get fresh with me, youngster. Answer the questions. Whatever you say. Now, tell me this. What is your race and sex. Iben he added, And no smart answers. There was no answer at all. Well.? asked the Judge. The Graduate looked blandl - back at the Jutlge. ' ou can just about take vour pick of any of them, Judge. Humph. The Judge snorted in disgust as he sat back and wiped his glasses. Humph, he reiterated. Let ' s try another tack, snorted the Judge, and mind you, now, no more of those indefinite answers. O.K., answered the Graduate. Now then, and the Judge leaned forward over the bench. What degree did you receive in college. ' Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science. Then you received two degrees, pressed the Judge, beginning to see an end to the inquisition. That ' s not what I said, replied the Graduate. I recened about 80 of them. Youngster, do you realize that you are upsetting the dignity of this high court. Sitting back in his chair, the Judge mopped his brow with his handker- chief and twirled the pince-nez around in the air. Finally he stopped and leaned forward again. His voice was weaker this time. I suppose that it is probably futile to ask, but, try to tell me simpl_ ' just where is j ' our home. Bethany Graduate of 1948 took the upper hand now. Leaning on the Judge ' s bench, and in a confidential tone, the Graduate said, Well, Judge, it ' s like this. Let ' s not kid each other. My home is about ten or twelve different states, five or six times as many cities and towns. 16 ' I ' lu ' Jiulj r sat with his hrad in his hands, lit- looked np once to stare at the Kfadnatr with a blank gaze, ' ou wui, yonnj;stei-, ciii win. ICII oin- story in X ' oiir own wa , hut please try to tell it so I ' ll understand. With the situation now ni complete eontrol, the (!ra(hi.ile pnshed hniiself ii]i on one corner ol the Jndjie ' s lunch and propped a easiialK chid loot on the expensive wood. Glad to do this little thint; lor yon, Pop. (!lad to do it. B, G. of 194S mused a moment and scratched fiirtivelv at its chin. Where to begin. ' W ' here to begin ' Let ' s start it this way. We came to this college slaiting about the year 1938 with a few ot the people in this group, added a few more in the following years until the gi ' eat year of 1944 when the bulk of the class dropped in on the college. Of course, more came in from time to time, some tiropping in as late as 1946. Of course you realize that the reason that some of the students started so earl ' antl finished so late was that there was a recess for some of them lasting for tour or five years. But while they were away the class at home had their hands full. You see, the Navy had occupation forces at Bethany. Ah yes, when the Navy was at Bethany. But that story belongs to another t pe of history. We ' re really a hardy lot. Judge, for so many of us to stick through thick and thin for all these years. We took every subject the college had to ofTer and then e -eii added some extra ones that the college didn ' t offer. There were some stu- dents in Our Outdoors 50 who really learned something. This wasn ' t strictly an tipperclass course or a lower class course, nor did the class of 194H initiate it, but we did do our bit to bring it up to date. Our class comes from many different states and localities. West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey are our strongholds, but other states are represented also. There ' s Indiana, California, Missouri, (the president ' s home town, no less), Ohto, Michigan, Connecticut, and several foreign countries as the Canal Zone, Ontario, Staten Island, and Brooklyn. And some of the towns that we come from! Did you ever hear of Eighty-four, or Red Cloud, Ashtabula, Con- fluence, Wanamassa, Elyria, Great Neck, Rudolph, Leonia, Ben ' s Run, Rahway, Short Hills, Linthicum Heights, Secausus, Tenafly and Independence. ' And as for race or sex, as I said, you can just about take your pick. We graduated students with just about every degree in the books. Bachelor of .Arts in just about everything a bachelor would ha ' e anything to do with, and a Bache- lor of Science in everything a bachelor wouldn ' t have anything to do with. Maybe we didn ' t add anvthing concrete to the school other than to help keep it going in its lean years and then to give a big hand in bringing it back to normal. We saw the change of Bethany from a war-time school to a peace-time school, and a fairly good one at that. We saw the faciilt - come and go, the students come and go, but we stayed in there and fought our way to the end. .And we have just reached the end. The Judge gazed up in awe at the Bethany Graduate of 1948 perched on the bench, cockv and self-sure now that the first test was proceeding on its way. You — you — did all of that? he asked incredulously. Oh, that and more too, boasted the Graduate. Pass on then Bethany Graduate, ordered the Judge banging the ga el dow n on the bench. If you can boast a record like that, you are entitled to join the sixteen million other unemployed college graduates. 17 SENIORS I ' mkicia Ann Allen — Edgewood, Pa. — Zeta Tau Alpha, Treas. 3 — Gamma Sifjma Kappa — Assistant Language Dcpt. — P ' rench Club — Spanish Club, Scc ' y 4 — Future Teachers of America, I ' res. .1 — International Relations (, ' lub, Sec ' y 4 — Student Christian ssociation — Y.

The imdergradiiates are an integral part of both. Some have made history at Nor- mandy, Okinawa, and Cassino; all have been stirred by the importance of the tmies. Bethany is building and changing to meet the demands of progress. Ihe students are more world-wise, and minded of the comple.xitv of the problems and advancements ot the day.

J ' f M  t J 46 DEAN FORREST H. KIRKPATRICK deserves the full credit for giving the 194S Bcthan ' uin its theme and main topic, and for supplying the tiuestion which we seek to answer in this annual, What is College? At a Chapel Program presented ahout two years ago. Dean Kirkpatrick very aptl - answered that question with the poem, part of which yf)u ha -e read, and wdl he reading, on the pages of this hook. Throughout the years the (juestions of college — What it is? What does it mean? What is its value? — have oftentmies gone unanswered in the minds of many of our Bethany Students. With that thought in mind, and with the aid of Dean Kirkpatrick ' s poem, an attempt has been made to answer the questions. In the words of his poem and in the pictures of you, may ' ou find your own reply. 47 College Ul Pap Pallia and TootUU Qame± Crisp brown dfternoous, Marching bands And cheerleaders splashing their green and zvhite Against the hills and hues in October; Shouts and touchdowns and zvild cheering, Always rooting, always hopeftd, For it is our team!

ATHLETICS . . . l947- ' 48 During ' the intLT al ot the 1947-4.S sports seasons the upswing ot the athletic programs, varsit ' and mtraniural, has contmued unabated after the war-time slump, ' lth what now appears to he a more aggressive policy of varsity athletics and a more comprehensive schedule ot intramural sports, added to the improved facilities which will result with the completion of Rine Field and the new Field House, the upward trend can be expected to continue to greater lieights next year. Varsity teams of football, baseball, tennis, basketball, and cross-country were entered mto competition, with more or less success, details of which will be covered on the following pages. Tabulation of the complete record of varsity wins and losses in all sports gives the teams an overall .500 average. Fudging into the arsity-ball picture was an increased student interest in improving the teams, the qtiality ot the conditions imder which they ]ilayed, anil the sup]iort gix ' en them by the stu deiits-at-large. Inter-fraternit ' and sororit ' s]iorts gathered new interest and importance with the addition of ping-pong, hand-ball, ami track, to an already fine men ' s schedule including touch football, basketball, volleyball, Softball, golf, and swim- ming. The program, operating under the Inter-fraternity Council of Athletic Managers, is regulated according to a point system which will tabulate the winner of the sport ' s troph ' at the end ot the ear. Beta I beta Pi won the honor m June of 1947. Sorority sports included Softball, volleyball, badminton, bowling, ping-pong, and basketball on an inter-sorority basis. The Women ' s Athletic Association fur- ther sponsors events of an athletic nature for women in cooperation with the De- partment of Physical Fducation.

The Green Wave jumped off to a good .start against the vaunted Dan Idw let and Co., from Washington and Jefferson. Deacon Dan was the factor which de- cided the one-touchdown loss. The remainder of the season included two drub- bings at the hands of Geneva and the University of Buffalo, and a string of heart- breaking losses to inferior teams who capitalized on an inconsistent Bethany pass defense- — with the exception of the game with the Wildcats of Y. Va. who got a break on a punt in the mud at Wellsburg. The team was good with an iron line which only hatl real trouble w ith Deacon Dan, and Middlesleadt of Buffalo. Jim Collins and his back-field mates used the line power well in using their speed to make phenomenal ground-gains. Everyone has a different idea about the reasons for the poor record in the win column — but harassing injuries and the absence of a consistent passing attack and defense were probably the differences between a very successful season and the one that occurred.

The game provided innumerable thrills and tense mo- men ts as the two teams battled it out. Few who saw the game will forget the number of times the lead changed hands, the terrific scoring of Martin and Me- whirter, and the desperate struggle the team made in the last overtime to almost reach another tie. The game attracted nation-wide attention since it was one of the highest scoring games of the intercollegiate season. On the basis of the 1947 season, we all expected better results than were de- rived in the past campaign. We had the same team back, with the exception of Marty until the Carnegie Tech game. But breaks as well as the opposition were against us, and the same team which tallied seventeen points in the final two minutes to defeat Marietta was unable to hold a better than twenty-point first period lead against Westminister. one-handed set-shot in the 105-103 against Bethany.

Lost from this year ' s team are Crawford Hoppy Cameron, who finished m January, Captain Bill Dumbaugh, Hank Brown, and Perry Bowden, who was forced out in midseason due to a heart condition. So went the fortunes of a team which advanced to the semi-finals of the W. Va. Conference tournament by virtue of an upset victory over Fairmont, the season champs. Marty Martin broke his own scoring record of 39 points in one game which he set last year, by swishing m 43 points in the wild game against D L. 1947-48 Basketball Summary (ll ' PONEXTS California 52 Geneva 70 V.

CROSS COUNTRY With Cross-Country competition returning this year for the first time since the war, Bethany fielded a team which took three of the four meets It engaged in, and showed well against the best squads in the area in the AAU run at SchenJey Park, Pittsburgh, of 4.5 miles. In the latter run the Bethany Harriers, though they had never run the course before, compared more than favorably with the other competitors. LaTourette was eighth, Dick, fourteenth; Hite, twenty-fifth; Liedke, twenty-ninth; Huhn, thirty- toLirth; and Captain Hank Brown, thirty-ninth. During the regular season the following results were tabbed: Bethany 26 Mount Union 29 (2 mile course) Bethany 29 Westminster 26 (5.75 miles) Bethany 22 Geneva 3 (4.1 miles) Bethany 22 Mount Union 33 (4.1 miles) TENNIS Bklow: Members of the 1947 Tennis Team are: Front Row: Jerry Warshaw, Phil Hall, Auggie StoefHer; Back Row: John McKin- nev, Karl Wassman, and Ed Kulawiec. In 1947 Bethany fielded a tennis squad which participated in four matches out of a schedule which originally called for eight contests. The weather in this area was such that several colleges cancelled their matches and did not even have teams. With what little practice the requeteers could hold and the scarcity of materials at hand, the Bisons managed to play four contests. Of the games played, two were with Fairmont State Teachers College, and the remainder con- tested against California State Teachers College. In the former the team won the first series at Fairmont by 5-2. The second group held at Bethany was 4-2 in favor of the Bisons when the rains washed out the finish of the match. The Fairmont coach conceded the match. The squad fared worse against California, drop- ping the opening round 7-2 at California, and having the second round rained out. 56 %.

In Ken, Hook Lawrence, one of the best southpaws to appear on the Bethany mound in some years, was foimd the main-stay of the pitching staff. The potent bats of Hoppie Cameron, Phil Silcock, Earl Roper, Bill Makris, and Pat Santarelli were tough on opposing moundsmen, making a combination of pitching and hit- ting that made Bethany difficult to beat. Lawrence won all five games, against a losing record on two, compiling an earned-run average of 2.54 which is extra-fine in collegiate ball. He pitched 59 innings, gave 56 hits, struck out 50, and only walked 17, These figures do not include the last W : J game. 1947 Season Summary Opponents Bethany Fairmont 2 Marietta 14 5 Geneva 1 10 Wash.

The Varsity B Club, the instigator of Fresh Rule this year, started only a few years before the war and in- active during the war, is stirring to new activity. The purpose of the club is to provide athletic scholar- ships for the major sports, to better athletic conditions, and to bring together some of the men on the varsity teams. In order to become a club-member, a student must do more than just win his letter. He must also be approved by the Athletic Board and then be voted in by the entire club after he has undergone an initiation period. 58 Frosh IiKiiiisition IN ACTION Peanut Penalty. f Vr : - Candy!

As a result it is almost impossible for a college annual to gi e each and every happening the pictorial coverage it deserves. However, several of the outstanding college events that have not been recorded by the camera, should be mentioned if only to record for the sake of permanence their significance, and contribution to the life at Bethan ' during the academic year 1947-48. Listed below are some of the unpictured highlights of this year: October 8th — Freshmen rule instituted for first time m six years. Varsity B held responsible for damages. October 31st — All-college Halloween parade presented. Winning groups were picked for most uni(]ue idea. The Kappa Deltas and Sigma Nu s won the first and second prizes respectivelv. November 11th — Melhado elected to the presidency of the Student Board of Governors. November l.uh — Students at mass-meeting demand Administration take action to better equipment of football team. Jim Angelis and Julian Mel- hado present plans for action. November 15th — Beverly Maynard chosen as Homecoming Oueen. Jo Smith and Elbe Stanton act as attendants. November 21st — Cochran Hall freshmen ordered home for a week by the State Health Dept. because of illness of Henry Wruble ski. December l.ith — Faculty looks silly in annual jilay given before annual Christmas recess. February ,ird — New Bee-Hive opened tor business.

Under President Pro-tem Bill Nottingham a new constitution was dr.iwii up and approved by a committee of William Kennedy and I urk Bierau ;issisted by Bill Borniile. I ;ulic.d cli;inges in the new con- stitution were provisions lor popular election of the bo;ird presi- dent, elimination of the Student Board of Publications m tavor of Pi Delta Epsilon, and the election of S.B.O.G. representatives from their respective social groups both by individual group vote and sanction of the student body by popular vote. Committees were strengthened in a mo e to promote smoother executive function- ing and better f;iciilty-student, administration-student relations. P . ' in Julian Melhado became the first po|iularly ;te(l officer in the school ' s history, edging nominee Donald Mulgrew in the November elections. Bill Nottingham was elected vice-presi- dent; Key Grizzell, treasurer; and Peg Strehan, secretary, m b();ird votes. Aside from normal tunctiomng problems of the group, ad- vances were made in varied directions tow;irds greater co-ordin;i- tion between faculty and student thought and the raising ol the level of the academic standard to new highs. John Clopine headed a committee which investigated the worth and opportunities of the academic curricula, and turned in a report which both criticized and complemented the present set- up. Attempts to chart student feeling on instituting an honor system here, and to suggest an operational plan for the system, were made by another committee headed by Bob Boyd. Athletics, the operation of the new student union, faculty-relations, and an investigation of the dining rooms were other projects covered by the board ' s committees.

The Radio Workshop, operating under the call letters WWBN, was intro- duced onto the campus by Miss Blandina A. Foster, former Speech and Dramatics Instructor. After Miss Foster left, the idea of a campus radio station was not continued until the fall of 1946 when Alvin Singer began experimenting with Army Surplus radio equipment, and revived the idea of installing and operating a local radio station. Collaborating with David Perry the two have managed to secure special membership with the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System and have practically completed construction of a new transmitter which will use the call letters WWBN. When completed the station will have a broadcasting schedule that will in- clude programs from 7 to 11 p. m., Monday through Friday. As far as program planning is concerned it will be the policy of station WWBN and the members of the workshop to try and reflect the tastes of the students. 90 v ' ,: .J(: ?

Part of a Stiidv Haliit Phin. Sigma Nu was tounded at the Virginia Military Institute in the year 1869. Epsilon Chapter of Sigma Nu was founded at Bethany m 1883. The chapter, fifth to be chartered in the national fraternity, has had several difficult periods in ex- pansion. Twice forced into sub-rosa activity, it emerged stronger each time. With a past and present membership of over 38,000 men, the fraternity maintains active chapters in forty-six of the forty-eight states of the nation. Their fraternity song, The White Star of Sigma Nu, is perhaps the best known fraternity song in the United States.

A chapter of Alpha Psi Omega National Dramatics FVaternity was founded at Bethany College in 1928 as the Beta Gamma Chapter. It was formed from a dramatics club organized in May of 1927, known as the Merry Masquers. Alpha Psi became inactive here from 1929 through May 31st, 19. 2. At that time a few of the actives still attendmg Bethany reformed the chapter. Later that same year, on October 10, a junior organization, called the Bethes- pians (from a name contributed by Charlotte Rich), was organized. The practise of having potential members of Alpha Psi work with the Bethespians for 200 hours of stage work was then begun. In recent years the junior group has been better known as the Theatre Guild. The purpose of Alpha Psi Omega has been to organize College students into a body for developing the theatre in college life, and for furthering the ideas and talents of the non-professional collegiate individuals who have a sincere interest in the department of dramatics.

FINISH 127 SJn -Hppteclation When one attempts to produce a college annual with little or no experience upon which to reply, one encounters many difficulties and details which can be overcome only with the assistance of a small group of people who unselfishly give their time and technical talents in a sincere effort to produce the best book pos- sible. It is these sort of indi ' idiials that we wish to publicly express Our grateful thanks for their invaluable assistance at a time when we needed it most. For the fine help in the printing of Tlu- Bctlunuau we arc indebted to Mr. Lee Murphy of King-Murphy Press in GreensbLirg, Pennsylvania. Our sincere thanks especially go to Mr. Charles Sprankle of the Robert Rawsthorne Company for his immeasurable aid in managing (with great success) our engraving problem. Our photographic i)rk came trom se ' eral sources. J- ' erhaps the greatest con- tribution came from I onald .Mulgrew, who ably pinch-hitted for us at the last moment and solved our photographic |iroblems in less than five weeks. Glen Miller, Paul Rhodes, and Ted Camp also contributed several photographs to this year ' s annual. Finally, we must give grateful thanks to our very generous advertisers and especially to Mr. Thomas E. Millsop, President of the Weirton Steel Company wbose welcomed contribution made it possible for us to add many extra pages and features to this book. Our sincere thanks to all you people. The BctluniitDi of 1948 owes much to you. The Editor and Staff 128 A D V E R T S N G BETHANY COLLEGE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Though ' round the girdled earth they roam.
