T}] 1952 B L)l_ LID L BETHANY COLLEGE BETHANY • WEST VIRGINIA FOREWORD Soon begins the June exodus through the Oglebay gates which was so rigidly forbidden in the days of haz- ing. Since then we have learned to look beyond the bounds of the campus into a future which, to most of us, seems more distinct. To the class of ' 52, as well as the many who have graduated for over a century before, Bethany has signified not only a firmer footing in that vast field known as knowledge, but a means of showing an appreciation and understanding for our fellow men. It is up to the individual to apply the benefits gained by such valuable experience to the years which lie in wait, so that he may enrich his life and overcome all obstacles that may arise. P- J , t Wi memm m IJIJI m DD uE n a ■ This familiar sight will long be remembered by every Bethanian . . . whether it be in two years or in fifty. During our four years in Bethany we have walked through these gates many times.

' -■,. .v ' - BEHIND THE ADMINISTRATION OF BETHANY COLLEGE IS A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE IN EDUCATION .fc i ' ¥ . i Without Old Main Bethany College would be quite incomplete. Lecture classes, labs, club meetings, etc. are all held here and every- one will agree that more hours are spent here while attending Bethany than in any other place. While in the college town we go by Bethany time which is that of the front face of the TOWER clock. The administrative offices can all be found in Old Main, also ... so you all can see just w-hat an important part this building does play in our Bethany lives. Bethany ' s ' ' Old Main ' ' Bethany Is Primarily An Educational Institution ' so the saying goes. Bethanians will all agree that during four years at the college on the hill much of their time is spent in this building gaining knowledge in every possible way. Without a doubt, the administration building is very impor- tant in college life. traditional scene . . . The Great White Father giving one of his famous lectures in Biology. This is a very familiar sight every Tuesday and Thursday. Compulsary attendance at Chapel and Convacation isn ' t nearly as bad as everyone ex- pects it to be. Bethany ' s President We are pleased to greet our fellow Bethanians through the pages of the 1952 Bethanian and to wish them well. The emphasis in this Yearbook is upon student life at Bethany and we are pleased to give a special word of greeting to the present members of the Bethany Yamily. You have learned to cal l this College your Alma Mater. This is your College Home. We trust that the pages of this book will serve to recall to you pleasam experiences shared together at Bethany. May they grow with the passing of the yeirs. We will be glad to welcome you back to your College Home whenever it is pos- sible for you to come this way. Our best wishes go with you always. We are con- fident that as Bethany ' s Sons and Daughters you will write your names . . . High on the scroll of honor and fame. W. H. CRAMBLET, PRESIDENT Dean of Students Every college takes so much pride in past history and long-established traditions that I sometimes fear there is the danger of overlooking the richness and significance of the present. . . . This year of 1951-1952 has been one of the most important years in the history of Bethany Col- lege because YOU have been here. . . . YOU are the Bethany College of the present — as the living, breathing, reality of Alma Mater. The next year will also be im- portant because another group of students — some from this year, of course, remaining — will be here. The joy and the glory of a college rests in the fact that it is a place where young men and young women, mindful of the past, but living happily and eagerly in the present, are preparing to march with strong confidence and purpose into the future. I salute the student body of 1951-1952 because YOU ARE BETHANY COLLEGE this year— and I pledge again my sincere devotion to your best interests and your highest ideals. FORREST H. KIRKPATRICK Dean of Students Dean of Faculty Dr. B. R. Weimer, Dean of the Faculty and head of the Department of Biology; also known as the Great White Father. He believes in the small college and that at Bethany the job is so to teach and to advise that young men and young women shall be fitted not only for making a living but for living a well-rounded full life. He delights to point with pride to the number of Bethanians who are High on the Scroll of Honor and Fame. MISS ELEANOR TYLER is one of the most efficient associate deans of students any college ever had. She is always more than willing to please every Bethanian when possible. MISS ELIZ. ' VBETH BELT is the mainstay of Kirk ' s office. She and her efficient staff tabulate quality points, number of hours, grades, etc. These are but a few of her many, many jobs. We all marvel at the efficiency with which Miss Belt runs the office. In Meinoriatn The passing of Mr. Newton W. Evans on Febru- ary 4, 1952, saddened the hearts of each and every Bethanian. He had spent quite a few years as Bursar and was just recently elected Treasurer of Bethany College. Although all those who know and loved Mr. Evans were saddened and bereived by his death, they all know that: He is not dead ... he is just away. Behind the Administration ♦ ♦ ♦ Erwin C.

Draper c I Bethany House The Bethany House, which is the Student Union, is one of the most popular buildings on campus. On the second floor it contains dining facilities for all college men while a large lounge, meeting rooms, small dining rooms and a faculty lounge are all located on the main floor. The ever-popular Bee Hive and Bookstore are found on the bottom floor of the Bethany House. LLEGE Just taking a few minutes out from studying. Looks like they posed for this, doesn ' t it? Keith seems to be entertaining a few of the boys while tickling the ivories. Loafing in the Bee Hive, playing the piano in the lounge or just listening while someone else plays ... all of these are favorite forms of relaxation for every Bethany student. In the Bethany House we find many forms of diversion and relaxation from classes and studying. Upon entering you will generally find large groups of students enjoying some phase of the facilities in the Bethany House. An apple a day keeps the doctor away ... so Jerry and Jim test this philosophy. Leisure Hours As stated before, the Bethany House serves the student body in many ways. It contains many club rooms aside from the dining rooms and also serves for dancing pur- poses. Located on the bottom of this building are the Bee Hive and Bookstore. Many hours are idled away over a coke, bridge game or ' bull session in the Bee Hive. The TV set always has a group of busy onlookers. Informal dancing is held in the Hive on various evenings after dinner. Ping pong tables are set up in the back room to provide for more recreation. As shown in the picture below many club meetings take place in the rooms thus provided. The Bookstore is one of the handi- est stores around Bethany in that we can purchase every- thing from school supplies to clothing from Mr. Van and his assistants. The Economics Club keeping up witli the world situation as they listen to a guest speaker. Just as we have stated previously . . . bridge is one of the most popular forms of recreation in Bethany. Lunch in the Bethany House which is a familiar scene every week-day at 12; 10. Some work is involved with the Bethany House but these boys look as though they ' re enjoying it. Dick looks as if he is enjoying his lunch as do all of the other fellows. The entrance to Phillips Hall which is the home of all freshmen women and a few upperclassmen. On the following page s you will view a few of the scenes of the interior. Lunch in the women ' s dining hall. Breakfast is served cafeteria style but lunch and dinner are served individually. The dining hall is often used for dances also. Phillips Hall . , . Home of Frosh Women Dormitory life is quite different from what most people are used to at home. Living together in a group fosters mutual understanding and this seems very positive in Phillips Hall. It ' s still a man ' s world, though, and it really is evident at Bethany. Male students living in dorms don ' t have the little problems of hours or even a few of the many other rules for women, but after all, someone has to observe the rules around here, or every- one would be ending up with .S ' s. It ' s sign in, sign out and . . . don ' t get caught in blue jeans! Your room- mate borrows your clothes, gets you to join in a bull session or a good bridge game and then mourns with you when you flunk an exam the next day. You have no idea but .... dorm life is wonderful I More dates mean better marks and being with her favorite boy friend is a wonderful form of enter- tainment of every Bethany co-ed, as is shown here. This is another familiar sight as the gong rings for lunch. Many gather downstairs while others wait until the last minute before going downstairs. 0 n , Tired of studying, tired of talking, tired of sleeping . . . these gals gather for a bridge game in room 204, Phillips Hall . . . cutting convo, maybe! Cochran Hall for Frosh Men To every incoming freshman that old line is heard, t his is your home away from home. Everyone laughs at the time and wonders how it ever could be true, but strangely enough, it is. After long hours of studying there was always the lounge for that much needed break. And after leaving Cochran Hall it will be missed by all who lived there. Canasta anyone?? Neil seems to be quite pleased with the progress of the game. He probably happens to be on the winning side. Just loafing or getting ready to go to convo? They must not be going to classes because they don ' t have any books with them. The lounge in Cochran Hall is quite a gathering place . . . both for studying and relaxing. At the present time these boys seem to be relaxing for a good bull session. Cliff and Xeil showing their muiical ability while the others join in with the singing. Dick probably got off key trying to watch the photographer snap the picture. Everything that goes on in Cochran is not all relaxation. A great deal of time is spent on studies as you all can well see here. Chuck is getting the Spanish assignment from Larrv. Still loafing . . . but the photographer can snap more pictures when the fellows aren ' t busy studying. Wonder what they ' re all looking for . . . Phillips Hall is up the other way ! Irvin Gymnasium Irvin Gym is the center for all the women ' s physical education courses and intramural contests. This build- ing, with a good-sized basketball court, volleyball facilities and a fine indoor pool, offers plenty of opportunities for the sports-minded girl. Often the scene of parties and dances, Irvin Gym was put to a new and different use this year when the dramatics department under the direction of Albert Bluem staged two very successful performances of the Greek production Antigone. Intra- mural basketball and volleyball highlight the sports season in Irvin Gym but swimming meets, badminton tournaments, etc., also draw large crowds. Pictured at the right is one of the sophomore physical education classes. Miss Bradford is giving some valuable instruction in badminton. •M iV Bethany ' s new modern Field House is used for all the men ' s physical education courses and is the scene for all the home basketball games. With its modern lighting, it ' s large gleaming floor and a seating capacity of 1500, the Field House ranks as one of the best basketball courts in the Ohio Valley. It is often the scene of many high school sectional tournaments which draw crowds from the entire Northern Panhandle. Without a doubt, Bethany ' s Field House is one of the finest in this part of the country. Mr. Knight giving a few pointers to his P.E. 75 class which was held at the Field House every Tuesday and Thursday last semester.

Student Board of Governors The Student Board of Governors is the most important organization on the cam- pus. They are elected by the student body and act as a legislative and executive body. They have charge of the allocation of student funds to the different organiza- tions on campus, athletics, faculty relations, appointments to positions of responsibility, and attempts to settle problems noteworthy of SBOG attention. Each fraternity and sorority has two representatives in this organization. The independent group has representation also. The board ' s first aim is to coordinate faculty and student thought.

It was formed to better the quality of the student publications. It is under the direction of students who have proved themselves capable in working with the campus publications.. Alpha Psi Omega In 1928 the Beta Gamma Chapter of Alpha Psi Omega, national dramatics fra- ternity, was formed at Bethany. Definite acting and backstage ability are necessary requirements for membership in the fra- ternity. The purpose of this group is to organize college students into a body for the development of the theater in college life. The members have been responsible for staging very fine plays during the 1951- 52 college year. Theatre Guild The FTA is an organization for prospective teachers. It was organized in 1938 as an Education club. In 1942 it was affiliated with the Future Teachers of America organi- zation, which is a branch of the National Education As- sociation of the United States. The Bethany chapter is in honor of a deceased member of the Bethany faculty, H. T. McKinney. All students interested in dramatics are welcomed into membership of the Theater Guild. There are usually about three plays produced each year and the members of this club supply the cast, scenery and stage crew. These people all work together to make the plays as successful as they always are.

Marc Dallanegra, the star for- ward, set a new scoring record for the Field House as he scored il points against VVaynesburg. He, along with the many others, gave Bethany the fighting spirit which led to such a successful season.

Joan Lallone is the head cheerleader of the group. tit I -c . • t V - THE 19 5 1 FOOT The small football squad of the Bethany Bisons was hindered throughout the season as certain key men saw only limited service because of costly injuries. The result was that the Bisons were able to win only one out of the first six games. The Bisons were almost at full strength for the last two games on their schedule and the result was a well-rounded T formation attack which spelled victory for the Bisons . . . and their best football record in 10 years. In the opening game of the season, a veteran Davis and Elkins team met an inexperienced Bethany team using the T formation for the first time in four years. A Decker to Etter pass for 50 yards was the only scor- ing power the Bisons could muster. D. E. scored 39 points. Zucchelli ' s defensive play was outstanding for Bethany. Bethany failed to capitalize on several scoring oppor- tunities in the Marietta contest. Decker scored from the Marietta one yard line in the second quarter. Rozan- ski ' s try for extra point was good and this proved to be the margin of victory for the Bisons as Marietta later scored and failed to convert its extra point. Ed Murphy played an outstanding game and was selected on IMariettas All-Opponent team at the end of the season. Carnegie Tech displayed a devasting ground attack as they scored 47 points. Bob Decker, a Bethany quarter- back, put on a fine aerial display which was responsible for the Bisons scoring 20 points . . . more points than any other Bethany team has ever scored against Tecli in previous years. Taibi, Boyer, Altemese and Etter were Decker ' s receivers for sizeable gains throughout the game. Two long runs and a long pass were sufficient for Westminster to score three times to Bethany ' s one fur a 21-7 contest. A Decker to Etter pass for a 20 yard TD saw the score tied 7-7 at half time. Waynesburg, selected as the best small college team in the district, saw Bob Decker hit Irvin Etter for a 30 yard gain on the first scrimmage play of the game . . . and a certain TD. However, Etter had sustained a knee injury previously in the Westminster game and could not run at full speed. Waynesburg caught Etter on their own 19 yard line. Bethany could not penetrate the Waynesburg defense. After Waynesburg scored, Zuc- chelli intercepted a pass and lateralled to Don LeVine who went 70 yards for a TD. The score was nullified I BALL RECAP ft ' o because of defensive holding. Thereafter, Bethany lost its scoring punch and the result . . . Waynesburg 31 — Bethany 0. This was the only time during the season that the Bisons failed to score at least once against the opposition. A large Homecoming crowd saw an aerial duel between Kingzett of Hiram and Decker of Bethany. The Bisons were defeated at their own game as the final score was 26-21. An exciting highlight of the game was Bob Boyer ' s 63 yard TD dash off tackle in the third quarter. Bethany ' s battered Bisons prepared for the final two contests of the season after enjoying an open date in the schedule on November 3. The Bisons were almost at full strength when they met Geneva College the following week. Both the ground and air attack of the Bisons was devastating as they defeated Geneva, 14-0, for the first football victory over the Conventers in 12 years. While the Bisons failed to take advantage of several other scoring opportunities, they did not fail to convert two passes . . . Decker LeVine and Decker to Taibi . . . into touchdowns. The Bisons dominated the entire game both offensively and defensively. Two hundred loyal shivering fans sat through rain and snow flurries to see the Bisons defeat Grove City in ti.eir final game of the season. GC scored first. Coach Fuoss got his charges organized and Decker threw touch- down passes to Taibi, Boyer and ' alot in the second quarter. In the second half, Rapp scored on ground plays. All of Bethany ' s reserves saw action and GC scored again late in the fourth quarter. Final score: Bethany 33 — Grove City 13. The play of the Bisons improved with each game. They scored a total of 68 points in the last three games alone, and Bethany set several W. Va. SIC records this year which are impressive. Student morale and en- thusiasm is the highest it has been in a number of years. Everyone is talking about next year ! Go get ' em. Bisons!

Elmer and Hank are really proud of all the tro- phies the brothers have brought home for various athletic tournaments. It looks as though they have come out on top in quite a few of them. Nobody seems to be studying but Rich and he isn ' t making too great an attempt. He and Bill are probably dis- cussing Embryology. Variety is the spice of life. Studying, playing the radio and arranging pin-ups. The atmosphere isn ' t too con- ducive to studying, but Scotty isn ' t having too much trouble. Beta Theta Pi Almost everyone reads the Tower. Every Monday after dinner practically all Bethanians gather round to read the weekly newspaper. Some of the Betas pose to show how true this is.

College Plays Under the capable direction of IMr. Bluem we have been given the pleasure of seeing fine plays this year. The cast of the first, Letters to Lucerne is shown on the left at practice. Ruth Thompson and Gerry Forbes played the leading roles in Antigone which was presented in Febru- ary. Many, many hours were spent in practice by the casts of the plays and they deserve a big hand for the fine job they did. Mr. Bluem spends long hours making sure that the cast of each production has its lines learned to perfection. Shown here is the cast of Letters to Lucerne during drew rehersal. The members of the Theatre Guild also have to work very hard preparing materials for the props. They also spend a great deal of time preparing the set for the stage and seeing that everything is in good order. Watch it now Ann or you ' ll get some make-up in your eye. . 11 kidding aside . . . make-up takes a lot of hard work and patience. Without their work the plays could not be staged. Remember ♦ ♦ ♦ ? College life is rich with memories . . . besides the dances, bull sessions, banquets, parties and lasting friendships, we have the unforgettable plays. Below are pic- tured some of the scenes from Antigone. These and the pictures which are to follow all remind us of things which we shall never forget for they have become a part of us and they will live with us throughout the years. Recreational swimming is held in Irvin Gym every week-day afternoon from 4:00 to S:30.

Fond Memories The Inter-Fraternity Ball, long walks in the snow, the hours we have spent looking at the bulletin board and attending ath- letic events at the Field House ... all these things we will long remember as part of our life here at Bethany. College does not consist merely of attending classes and studying, but the extra-curricular things we have done constitute a great part of our college life. The Varsity B has the concession booth at the basket- ball games. They don ' t look like they were working too hard at the time this picture was taken, though. Ray Anthony giving out with one of his hit tunes during intermission at the IFC Ball. Does this bring back memories?
