Bethany College - Bethanian Yearbook (Bethany, WV)

Page 8 text:

Foreword As you leaf through the pages of this annual, while listening to the strains of the Alma Mater or the Bell Song, ' the 1953 Bethanian staff hopes that you may relive something of your year at Bethany. Of the many events which now remain only as memO ' ries of the past; some are more vivid than others, but they are all a part of the friendly atmosphere and the traditional heritage that are typical of life here at the college on the hill. The enthusiasm of the Freshmen, the noise and color of their parades, all the thrills of football games in early fall, the crowded Homecoming weekend; the excitement of the pre-Christmas season with the choir ' s presentation of The Messiah, the gaiety of the all-college Christmas dinner, the faculty play; the intensity of Joan of Lorraine and Darkness at Noon; the welcome for the new President; the festivities of Founders Day; and finally, what is the most vivid for Seniors — all the Pomp and Circumstance of the seventh day of June. All this is Bethany — from the brilliant hues of Fall to the fleecy down of Winter and the green magic of Springtime . . . Bethany as kept within the covers of The Bethanian.
