- m w M ' The 1954 BETHANIAN Presented by The Senior Class Bethany College, Bethany, W. Va. Editor, Ray Griffiths Business Manager, Marinus Macolino A university should be a place of light, of liberty, and of learning. Foreword The staff of the 1954 Bethanian has prepared what we hope is a Good year- book for the students, facult - alumni, and friends of the College on the Hill. In saying that it is a good book, we do not mean to infer that the pictures, layout, and writing are exceptionalh outstanding, but we hope that we have done a good job of presenting Bethan - College. The tangibles of Bethany are easy to present, but it is the unseeable, the untouchable, the really good things of Bethany that make the college mean all that it does to us. We believe that such scenes as the inauguration, the home- coming, the Christmas season, Through the year shots, athletics, and the facult ' at leisure, will make each page a Good page by our definition. Editor. Dr. Perry Epler Gresham President DEDICATION A college is a state of mind. This state of mind is the resultant of many thousands of opinions held b ' many thousands of people: students, facult}-, alumni, friends and — enemies. No two of these hold e.xactly the same opinion about any single phase of college work or college life. Xo single person likes ever ' thing about the college ecjually well or dislikes everything about it with uniform rancor. So a college actualK ' is the resultant of millions of separate opinions. No single person influences and colors these millions of separate opinions as strongly as the President of the College. Even though he do noth- ing, he still influences opinion strongly — and adverseh-. If he do wrong, he alienates his would be supporters. If he do right in a quiet, unaggres- sive way, opinion will grant him a quiet, unaggres- sive administrat ion. If he do right in a positive, aggressive wa ' , thousands take renewed interest and revise their opinions of the college — upward. Dr. Gresham has had this positive effect upon Bethany College. To date he has changed nothing 3 ' et has changed everything. The state of mind which is Bethany College has suddenly become buoyant, hopeful, aggressive. People still say much the same things about Bethan -, but their tone of assurance is new. A slightly disgruntled Social Ps cholog ' pro- fessor said recently, The great college presidents of this country can be counted on the fingers and toes of — a quadruple amputee . This is an exaggeration, of course. A triple amputee would be about right, and Bethanians have increasing suspicions that one of the five is now located in Oglebay Hall. There ' s A Charm About Old Bethany Strange, Mysterious Spell w ' S m That We Know But Cannot Tell. FACULTY One of Bethany ' s greatest assets is the close student-faculty relationship that is encouraged to a great extent by both groups, and is a part of Bethany tradition that will never die. The college prides itself on the fact that there is one facult ' member to ever}- nine students, an enviable ratio for any American college. The stud- ent ' s major professor is much more to him than the instructor he has for more classes than any other. He is a counselor and a close friend, whom the student admires and trusts. This relationship is emphasized in the student ' s senior year, at which time he spends many hours studying under his major professor in seminars, honors courses and the like. While graduation may end this close association, the friendships that have grown between Bethany students and professors continue and last. 13 ' A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. — Adam.

Guvs and Dolls SENIORS We don ' t know if it will be a war or a depression, but the world ' s bound to have something unpleasant for us to cope with , was the wa one member of the class of 1954 saw the future. His observation is rather typical of this class of depression babies , who have seen very little except war and depression in their lives. With a future such as this, it would seem that this year ' s graduates could be too discouraged to start out in a world that offers them so little happiness and so much trouble. There are, however, more Stoics than pessi- mists in the class of 1954, who realize that it could be worse, and that they have at least as much future as any of their pre- decessors of the last twent ' years. The seniors will meet the future and try to improve upon it as much as the ' possibly can. The ' might make it. 22 :?lt - ii lSill FW ««_ iwjr jjgj ' .A ' T- f ! .

Everyone belongs to something at Bethany, with opportunit - provided to belong to anything from .the International Relations Club to the Physcial Education Club. Due to this tendency to belong to an organization, colleges like Beth- any can and do provide good background for a liberal arts education through fostering and supporting these clubs, while the students attain both a sense of belonging, and more important, intellectual stimulation. The goal of many of Bethany ' s clubs is to appl - what is learned in the classroom to modern life, and in many wa ' s, this goal is reached. 40 ' Diverse men have diverse recreations and exercises .

Although a small staff, it is a closely knit one which, aided by Corbin Carnell, facult advisor, has tried to capture the feeling and spirit of Bethany ' s campus and its people. Some have told us that earbooks are a thing of the past on Bethan ' s campus, but we hope that the book is a beginning for a better future and not the end of a poor past.

To the freshman, fratern- ities mean parties, prestige and pins, while to the graduating senior, they mean much more.

The highlights of the year included the annual Spring Formal and the Founder ' s Da - Open House. Mary Jane (iast served as president of the chapter, and was elected to a second term in Febriiarv.

Kappa Delta Sigma Xi of Kappa Delta started the year off socially- with the annual wiener roast, followed later b ' an all-campus serenade. Homecoming brought new honors when Patt ' Siimijstine was crowned queen and June Montgomery was named to the court. The Christmas season found everyone giving and attending parties, including a party for the patronesses, one for the alumn.ie, and numerous slumber parties. Following semester exams, Sigma Xi retained the leadership along scholarly lines, while a very agile basketball team retired the basketball cup. A typical Bethany spring brought out the best in everyone and resulted in another all-campus serenade. The best of all possible endings, the Spring Formal, closed the ear. 84 OFF ' ICERS, Left to Right: June Montgonier ' . Ruth Lychkoff, Susie Hill, Barbara Acker. 5 .V little KD ' s, all in a row.

A giant bird ' s nest was put on the roof with a cardboard bird sitting in it. In the Halloween parade the chapter ap- peared as Cinderella. Several of the sisters walked inside a crepe paper pumpkin while the rest of the chapter dressed as mice and other characters in the popular fairy tale. The chapter continued the Halloween spirit on the following evening with a party in the basement of the house. Other activities in the Fall were the all-campus serenade under the direction of Vonnie Brehm, the rush parties and the rush serenade. In February the chapter gave its -early Hoedown, a square dance, which was followed in the Spring by a formal, called Melody Manor .

Ne.xt on the agenda was the Open House at Christmastime, and a serenade for Zeta patronesses claimed the chapter ' s attention soon afterward. Two winter activities were in honor of this year ' s pledge class; the informal dance in Februar - and a spaghetti dinner in March.

ATHLETICS Emphasizing the idea that athletics are a sport and not a business, Bethany College has retained standards set in the past b - not subsidizing its athletes. Although this has undeniably hurt Bethany ' s record in sports, it has added to the knowledge that Bethany is distinctive in every aspect. Plans have been made, however, encouraging outstanding Tri- State athletes to attend Bethany for both its athletics and its curriculum. Looking good, even in defeat, the Bisons look to the future with optimism under the new administration. 90 : ' He marks — not that yon won or lost — but how you played the game .

The football season opened on an inauspicious note with the resignation of Coach Don Fuoss two weeks before the start of practice sessions and the subsecjuent water shortage which forced the Bisons to travel to Wellsburg daily for their workouts. Coach John J. Knight, director of athletics, took over the vacant post and invoked a split T s stem for the first time in Bethany football history. Coupled with the return to the single platoon the new system brought a new spirit of optimism to the team. Practice injuries claimed Dick Lash, freshman halfback and potential first stringer, but the squad, molded about fourteen re- turning lettermen, approached the open- ing game in good physical condition. And that ' s how I broke my nose. ' • f M IRV ETTER Captain, End CLYDE GEORGE Guard HAXK LAZASZ Tackle ED KAKIK Center Bethany travelled to Buchannon, W. Va. for a night contest with W. Va.

Bob Bo er carried for all three touchdowns and rolled u[) 129 of the 212 yards gained rushing bv the Bisons. The following week Bethany ran up against Westminster ' s Titans on their way to an undefeated season and a Tri-State Championship and was soundK ' trounced by a 32 to 6 score.

Thiel College provided the oppc- sition for Bethany ' s third consecu- tive away game and the strain of plaving on the road seemed to tell on the Bisons as they dropped a 21 to 2 decision, and failed to show much in the wa - of offensive power. Even more disheartening was a knee injurx- suffered b - Bob Bo er which kept him from peakefficienc - through the remainder of the season.

Hiram fumbles at Homecoming game. 94 The Bisons evened their record at the expense of Hiram College, sub- duing the Terriers by a 24 to 21 score before a large Homecoming crowd at Rine Field. Halfback Bob Spenski ' s two scoring plunges gave Bethany a 12 to 7 halftime lead but the Bisons were forced to come from behind in the last quarter to gain the win. John Palafoutas ' scoring passes to Irv Etter and Art Gheen provided the victory margin. The first athletic meeting between Bethany and Capital University saw Capital victorious by a 6 to score. The Lutherans made a third period touchdown stand up, as fumbles and interceptions cost the Bisons what might have been an upset victory over a highly favored visiting team.

Apparently saving their best for the finish, Bethany treated the home fans to a tremendous second half comeback and topped Grove City by a 19 to 13 score in the final game of the season. Trailing at the half by 13-0, the Bisons returned to score three times. Boyer and Archie Pollock capped the first two drives with scoring plunges and Karr converted the extra point. A Palafoutas to Bo -er aerial for 14 yards with onl - three minutes remaining provided the winning touchdown and Bethan - ' s best season record in many years. Si.K grad- uating seniors.

The Bisons compiled an unimpressive 6 and 15 won and lost record throughout the regular 1953-o4 basketball season and bowed out of the S.I.C. Championships in the opening round. A closer anahsis of the record seems to provide a ke ' to the poor showing for the team was able to win only two of fourteen away games while splitting even in eight home con- tests. Extended road trips were most disastrous with the Bisons dropping seven of eight games while on tour. Offsetting this bleak picture to some extent were the record shattering win over Va ' nesburg, the fine team efTorts against Muskingum and Marietta, and the upset victory over Davis and Elkins. Coach John J. Knight ' s starting five showed letterman Bob Hettler at center and veteran guard Bill McClay teaming with John Palafoutas. Jack Wheatley returned to his forward post and Gene Beisel and Art Gheen alternated in the fifth spot, giving the Green a seemingh ' well bal- anced and experienced quintet. Top reserves were Hank Lazasz, Ed Kakuk, Jack Prater, and freshman Ed Johnson. Bethany opened the season and Grove City ' s brand new field house with a 71-.54: triumph over the Crimson.

McCla ' s twenty-five points were tops for the night with tour other men, Wheatley, Hett- ler, Gheen, and Prater, hitting in the double figures. The Presidents of W J again took the measure of the Bisons, 56-52, but the locals squared their record at three and three with a 82-78 win over W. Va. Wesleyan on the home floor. Lazasz showed the way with seventeen points. Temporarily atop the S.LC. with a 1 and rec- ord the Bisons embarked on a three da ' road engagement and dropped three games in suc- cession to Fairmont, 80-78, Morris Harvey, 74-60, and W. Va.

Again, however, the team returned to poor form and was soundly trounced by W ' esleyan 90-78. Continuing on their away trip, the Bisons journeyed to Thiel and Alie- ghen a nd bowed on successive nights by scores of 66-59, and 78-65. Returning home they displayed a fine team performance in subduing a stubborn Mus- kingum team, 88-8.3. Gheen battles for ball; Wheatley gives encouragement. 100 Bison prays for two points. Marietta ' s unbeaten Pioneers had their hands full in nipping the Bisons 80-76, and hopes were high that the team had finally begun to click. An 83-57 walloping at the hands of Alderson- Broaddus, however, closed out the regular sea- son. Bethan ' drew a first round bye in the tour- nament and met Alderson-Broaddus in the second round. In what was almost a repeat performance of their last meeting the eventual champions eliminated the Bisons in an 83-69 tilt.

The veterans included distance men John DePew, Nick Linn, and Chuck McKee while Les Sechler, in the dashes, and weight man Bob Bo er and versatile hurdler Toksen Chin gave power and adequate support in rounding out the rest of the team. The team was hampered, however, by the absence of several veterans who were not able to participate. The schedule was much the same that it has been for the past lew ears with the Bison cindermen facing squads as Slippery Rock, W J, Hiram, and of course, the climax of the season, the S.I.C. and Tri State Meet.

Intercollegiate tennis, which lor a variet ' of reasons had been in a low period for several ears started moving forward in 1953 and kept in that same direction this past season. Although without the services of Dan Renner, who captured the state Singles Championship a year ago, and who is now ending his first year at medical school, the squad continued to make strides toward Bethany becoming a tennis power in the Tri State. With veterans Bruce Robeson, Robert Syme, Bruce Bearden, Robert Hettler, Robert -Snelsire, and Herbert Friedman, plus frosh Joel Bickel, Richard Kirchner and Steve Serman, comprising the squad, the Green and White again was a threat for the State Championship. Again on this season ' s schedule were such teams as Ohio Xorthern, Carnegie Tech, Bowling Green, W J, California, Pitt, and one new addition, WVU. Credit for the fine improvement shown this past season of course goes to Mr. Peterson, who has made the team and the sport outstanding on Bethany ' s campus.

Freshman Daze They called themselves Magnanimous, and in some ways the ' were. Like all freshmen, they were hazed, or persecuted, according to their point of view until Homecoming. Then things reversed themselves, and they were rushed and complimented until the - really thought that they were magnanimous. It takes a while for freshmen to become accustomed to a school, and for the school to accept the freshmen. This group made it in record time. ■« i CAMPUS LIFE As a new professor once said, I never knew of a place in which so few people could keep each other so bus ' so much of the time. This statement could be con- sidered an exaggeration, but to those who know Bethanx ' and its students and facult ' , it is not a surprising statement at all. From the first week of Freshman orientation in September, to Commence- ment in June, Bethany abounds with an extraordinary amount and variety of activities. College life to Bethanians includes everything from Tuesday, ' morn- ing chapel services to impromptu bridge games in the Hive. While those activities organized and sponsored b - the college will never be forgotten, the informal, spontaneous parties and get-togethers will also mean much to the Bethanian as he looks back at his lite in college. T12 ' is ... a small college, atid yel there are those that love it . Webster, 113 Homecoming Homecoming, 1953 was typical of so many other celebrations of this kind in the past, with one notable exception. That exception was the fact that Bethany defeated Hiram in the game this jear, the first time in eighteen years that the Bisons came out on top in a Homecoming contest. As usual, Homecoming was charac- terized b - the jo - of seeing the alumni return on the student ' s part, and the thrill of returning on the part ot the alumni. r. '  - 2.

The climax of the season is reached the night before the students leave for home, with the annual Christmas bantjuet, facult pla ' . senior sing, and the Bee Hive party. The combinatic:)n of Bethany and Christ- mas would be difficult to surpass anywhere. It is a time when we realh feel and act as a large and devoted family. New Fashions. New Celebrations. THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE YEAR While tradition reigns in man - quarters, there are always events each ear which have a chance of becoming tradition. A good example is the first Robert Burns dinner, which was held in February, and promises to become a greatly appreciated annual event. In the concert-lecture series modern sculpturing was featured, and showed that Bethany will investigate the new, while still appreciating the traditional. One fea- ture of the year which does not promise to become traditional was the Bermuda shorts craze, of which enough has already been said. But through it all, the Tower never changes, and the Tower bell rings on — except on rare occasions when a student prankster steals a part. New Ideas in Sculptoring.
