THE 1956 BETHANIAN Presented by THE SENIOR CLASS BETHANY COLLEGE, Bethany, W. Va. Editor, SYLVIA KUNDIG Business Manager. ROBERT KRAMER Foreword In the years to come, when other experiences encroach upon the memories of those good old college days, the 1956 Bethanian will serve to remind us of many happy times, warm friendships, and helpful professors. Each has played an important part in shaping our lives through four short years at Bethany — On the Banks of the Old Buffalo. rodij F j. ►• pQ 9e Jnj . IO4 1 Dedication Dr. Daniel Sommer Robinson Professor of Philosophy His friendly and unassuming manner has won for Dr. Robinson the ad- miration and affection of the students, the faculty, and all the college com- munity. We are grateful for the honor he has brought to Bethany and for the inspiration he has given in his classes. Most of all we are grateful for the compliment he has paid us by becoming so much a part of our Alma Mater. This Bethanian is dedicated by the class of 1956 to Dr. Robinson as a great teacher, a respected scholar, and a sincere friend.

The Tradition Class of 1959, having survived hazing are fast making their mark on the Bethany campus. The dance sponsored by the class was one of the social highlights of the year. The 180 students in the class chose Louis Fuchs to lead them as president. Great things are expected from this group as they progress through their college days. 13 Fraternities 14 ran Pan-Hellenic Council Left to Right: M. Boyd, P. Miller, J. Noll, S. Kundig, Booth, S. Jordan, S. Allen. M. Carr, Mrs. Webster, A. Rush season is always the most hectic time for these girls. They have the big job of planning the Pan-Hell Teas, keeping rushing as fair as possible, and meeting with the freshman women to explain the rules and regulations. However, this is not their only jobs. All ar- rangements for the combined Help Week are made by this group. A constant review of the rush pro- gram is undertaken each year to improve our existing system. Mary Carr served as president. ' Help Week in action. 16 In ter-Fra tern ity Council These representatives from each of Bethany ' s five fra- ternities decide rush policies and take action when viola- tions occur. Not only do they act as a governing body, but they also plan the biggest so- cial function of the year — the IFC Ball. This year under the leadership of Stan Wilson, the annual event was held out at Oglebay, and was the most successful and best attended formal of the year.

Alpha Xi Delta In the early part of the school year the actives honored their nineteen new pledges by treating them to din- ner in Wheeling. Some of the more important activities included the Black and White Pledge Dance, the Annual Christmas Party for the first graders at Bethany, the traditional dinner-dance, Open House, and Spring Serenade. With seven mem- bers in positions of leadership on cam- pus, Delta chapter does not lack in campus honors nor beauty queens or court members. The president for this year was Sylvia Kundig.

Informal parties for freshman girls highlighted the fall activities. The Dixie Ball and Convivium Ban- quet, both annual events, proved to be the year ' s best for these Southern Gentlemen. Other important func- tions included a Christmas party, an annual open house, and serenades. These serenades are real treats since a large number of the group belong to the Male Chorus. 26 OFFICERS, Left to Right: G. Helme, M. Campbell, D. Richmond, B. Wilson. This is really a dog ' s life.

Kappa Delta This year found the girls at Shady Lawn with their president, Janet Noll, as busy as ever practicing for serenades, planning for their spring formal, polish- ing the scholarship cup the first semes- ter, and keeping up with campus ac- tivities. Homecoming Queen, Sara Hawk, brought royalty to the KD ' s. The pledges displayed their talents and ambition by giving an Alice in Won- derland slumber party and fixing the front walk as their pledge project. ooOh, men! 29 Sigma Nu Sigma Nu enjoyed another highly suc- cessful year. Besides such traditional events as the Bowery Brawl, Pledge Dance, White Rose Formal, and Father ' s Day Weekend, there were numerous other informal parties and sweater dances. The Sigs were well represented on all varsity athletic teams, and the summer of 1955 saw Bruce Robeson win the West Virginia SIC tennis singles championship, joining another chapter member, Elmo Baker, who set a new SIC track record in the 220 yard dash the previous year. Skip Bushon was Commander, succeeded by S. Michael John. OFFICERS. Left to Right: D. Sloan, D. Neubert, G. Bushon, J. Kratz. Do girls ignore you? Are you a 98 pound weakling?

Gerry Fredericksen, presi- dent, led the chapter through a very successful year. On campus Phil Wag- ner was Junior class president, and Bill Ramsey served as College Social Chairman, bringing more honor to the chapter.

Its activities for the year included the playing at home football games, the presentation of several convocation programs, and an appearance on television. Later on in the year more time is de- voted to wind ensemble music which is played in chapel. Concert Choir The Concert Choir, directed by Mr. Hauptfuehrer, is the finest choral group on campus.

Much time, thought, patience, and hard work has gone into these pages, and we hope we have captured the many things about Bethany that will recall pleasant mem- ories in the years to come. There may be a few sad memories as well, but for the most part we feel that the 1956 Bethanian repre- sents the true spirit found on this campus. Seated, Left to Right: J. Dressier, T. Furman, M.

Although many students grim- ace at the thought of this word, they must admit that Bethany provides a relatively pleasing atmosphere for the pursuit of knowledge. The students who ascend the hill daily for their classes meet amidst the gargoyles and arched windows which char- acterize Old Main. It is an old building, and most of its classrooms and classes are small, allowing the students to participate freely in discussions. Practical experience is an important part of many departments and enables the student to gain confidence in his chosen field. Mark holds a biology seminar.

A promin- ent physician was also among those dignitaries present. Bob Wilson officially opens CLEW. The Whole Town ' s Talking The first of two plays for this year was presented on December 1st and 2nd. The Whole Town ' s Talking, a comedy, was directed by Dr. Clyde Yarbrough of the Fine Arts Department. There were four starring and eight supporting roles with the leads being handled by Peggy Campbell, Malcolm Campbell, Steffanie Jones, and Doug Richmond. The second play planned is to be of a more serious and dramatic nature. A dramatic moment in The Whole Town ' s Talking. 85 The Faculty Play When all is said and done, one of the most enjoyable times at Bethany is the night before Christmas vacation of- ficially begins. Not only be- cause a holiday is in sight, but most of the work is at an end, and because the faculty is put- ting on one of the funniest events of the year — the Fac- ulty Play. Just to see some of them let their hair down for a few moments is more hilar- ious than anything they could say. It is a time when the stu- dents can really say, they ' re human too .

Annually, on a date as near March 2 as possible, Founder ' s Day is held. This year. Dr. Arthur Meyer Schlesinger Jr. made an address on The Age of Campbell to the students, faculty, and guests assembled in Commencement Hall. A new fund furnished by the late Oreon E. Scott will pro- vide for future Founder ' s Day speakers, as it did for Dr. Schlesinger. Ohio Valley Hospital Nurses The Ohio Valley Hospital in Steubenville, Ohio, is not only a fine hos- pital but serves also as a center for the education of young women and men who wish to prepare themselves as team members in the field of the healing arts. We, the thirty young women who entered the School of Nursing of this hospital in September, 1954, were pioneers, in that we were going to attend college while studying nursing. We felt exclusive as we got aboard our chartered bus which carried us to Bethany twice a week. At Bethany, we took courses in Chemistry, Anatomy Physiology, Microbiology, and Psychology. The campus enthralled us and we were much impressed by the corridors of Ogleby Hall. We absorbed as much basic science as we could and tried to use it as a background for studying our many other subjects, some of which are Nurs- ing Arts, Nutrition, Pharmacology, Sociology, and special Nursing subjects. We regret that we had very little time to become acquainted with the Bethany students. We feel that this year ' s class will help build stronger bonds and that in time the joint nursing education program of the Ohio Valley Hospital School of Nursing and Bethany College will become a tradition. 88 n i, i Mary Jane Angel Educational Director George B.

Yarussi, Football The 1955 Bethany gridders turned in the best won and lost record in the school ' s history, losing only to Thiel in seven starts, while rolling up 258 points to the opposition ' s 58. Throughout the season the Bisons showed a powerful offense and a new spirit of determination. Freshman end Andy Urbanik was the only new face in an otherwise veteran line, composed of Jack Mox, Lee Irvine and Harry Caldwell, Tiger Ed Joyce and Bull Fredericksen, with Ron Whitt at center. Les Sechler, Bud Phillips, Tony Rackie, and Gerald Duffee also saw consid- erable action as part of the Big Green forward wall. Co-Captains, Left to Right: Fuzzy Karr and Jack Mox.

It was in the backfield, where a major rebuilding job was thought to be necessary, that the big surprise came about. Max Homer stepped cap- ably into the quarterback spot, Dick Lash and Gary Gaydick were the half- backs, and Fuzzy Karr returned to his familiar fullback slot. This four- some accounted for over forty touchdowns in the course of the season. The Bisons opened at home by topping West Virginia Wesleyan 28 to 6, with Lash scoring three times. Traveling to Davis and Elkins the following week the Big Green ripped the Senators 45 to 0. Irvine kicks off for Bisons. It Gaydick is T. D. bound. Ronald Whitt Center Dick Lash Halfback Max Homer Quarterback Harry Caldwell Tackle Homer was the offensive standout of the day and Caldwell led the spirit- ed line play. Hiram ' s Terriers, thought to be a big threat to an all-winning season, were overwhelmed by a 61 to score. Allegheny and Marietta fell before the Green onslaught by identical 27 to 13 scores, both games being tough contests until the closing minutes. With five wins under their belt Bethany traveled to Greenville to meet a highly regarded Thiel team and came away on the short end of a 20 to 14 count. Starting Eleven. Left to Right: J. Mox. L.

Lee Irvine Tackle Though it was naturally a big disappointment for the men, they did not lose heart as they came back strong the following week to whip Grove City 33 to 12, and establish themselves as the best Bethany football team in history. Though the Bisons had their individual stars it was teamwork and spirit that made them a winner. Fullback Fuzzy Karr closed out four years of varsity play by being named to the All-District team. Max Homer and Bull Fredericksen were named to the second team. As a fitting climax to the successful season the team and coaching staff were honored at a banquet, highlighted by the presentation of a trophy from Sammy Baugh by Wayne Millner.

Knox, R. Ciripompa, A. Losso, E. Martin. After a slow start losing eight consecutive games, Bethany finally clicked to win their first at Fairmont St. 85-77. With the aid of Bob Goin second semester freshman and Augie Losso returning from absence during first semester, they rolled to win 7 of the remaining 15 games. Rudy Yaksich proved last year ' s pre-season predictions by scoring a total of 609 points this season and compiling an average of 25.1 points per game. Johnson also was one of the leading rebounders with an average of 15 per game which was good enough to place him fifth in the conference. The season ' s highlight was undoubtedly the game with Westminister. Bethany which led through most of the game, baffled Westmin- ister with an all court press. The Titans seemed to lose all composure, making bad passes and hurrying their shots. Bethany ' s lead at the half was whittled down as West- minister ' s depth in reserves proved too strong. Hard, continuous driving finally cracked Bethany ' s defense. With just about no 10 minutes left the Titans dunked baskets rapidly to give them a 7 point lead at the final buzzer — the score, 102-95.

Tennis The 1955 Bison tennis team compiled the finest record in inter-collegiate tennis history at Bethany. The squad climaxed an 11 win 2 loss season by win- ning Bethany ' s first West Virginia State Intercolleg- iate team championship and Captain Bruce Robeson took the State Intercolleg- iate Singles title.

Four letter men are back from 1955 and with replace- ments including Norm Leb- har, Les Leonetti and Ira Goldwasser showing well, the 1956 squad should be strong and balanced. The ' 56 schedule lists 15 matches, with Pitt, Case and Muskingum added to last year ' s opponents. Coach Peterson and Captain Robeson tell about Florida training.

Veteran pitcher Dick Blakely has returned along with Lash and LeMatty who are in the outfield. Also back from last year ' s team are infielders Hays, Sechler, and Homer. Among the rookies whom Coach Knight ex- pects great things from are catch- ers Shriver, Cocco, Goin, and Mc- Beth; Huffman, an outfielder, Otey and Ridenauer, pitchers; and Carneval, Urbanic, and Yarussi, in- fielders. The crop is made up pre- dominantly of underclassmen which is good building material for the coming years. Left co Right: Edgar Martin, Assistant Coach; D. Lash, M. Homer. Co-Captains; John J.

Track Looking toward another suc- cessful season, the Bison thin- clads have returned to the cin- ders for their yearly calisthen- ics. Sporting the green and white the Bethany men will en- counter their annual opponents in the form of W.V.U., Slippery Rock, W. and J., and others. Under the watchful eye of Coach T. J. Hill, returning let- termen and new cindermen have been in earnest training for the season; and the big one , the W.V.I.A.C. Lettermen John De- Pew, Bill Fields, and Don Neu- bert in the distances, Sheldon Downes in the 440, and Elmo Baker in the dashes form a strong foundation for the team. Baker is the holder of the West Virginia 220 yard dash record. Although weak in the field events, the big green will hold their own again this year.

Swim Team Embarking on its first season of intercol- legiate swimming competition, Bethany built a team that should make quite a splash in Ohio Valley swimming circles next year. Un- der the guidance of Dean Robert Preston, Tony Furman, and Judy Dressier, the strong, young team practiced hard and gave Fair- mont a good race in the Bisons ' initial con- test. Left to Right: J. Vinci, D. Evans, R. Golomb, L. Phillips. F. Payne. Golf Team Coach and sponsor Dr. Lester McAllister had three veterans returning from Bethany ' s first golf team which was formed last year. Enthus- iasm and prospects were bright as the season opened. Captain Lee Phillips was backed by sophomores Joe Vinci, Bob Campbell, and Frank Payne and freshman Bob Golomb. The team played a seven match schedule and par- ticipated in the state tournament played at Oglebay, home course for the Bisons. Bethany dives into a new sport. Captain Phillips tees off. Intramurals Boys and girls both have an opportunity to take part in some type of athletics here at Bethany. Fraternity spirit makes competition to win quite keen, and puts added vim into games which otherwise might be boring. The Phi Tau ' s are the undisputed winners of both the basketball and football contests. The Zeta ' s captured first place in basketball and the Alpha Xi ' s in volleyball.

Cheerleaders The cheerleaders deserve the praise and gratitude of the student body for their ability and untiring effort. Cheering the team on to victories and through de- feats, they did much for the college spirit. They could always be found at the games leading the not al- ways enthusiastic students in school yells. This group of girls and their captain, Jane Charlton, truly de- serve a vote of thanks by all. First Row. Left to Right: R. Cacchio. P. Kirk, S. Sloas. Second Row: S. Jones, E. Ekas. Third Row: B.

While enhancing the humor of the games with their mimicry and gymnastic stunts, they have also done a great deal to- wards raising school spirit.

Your education may very well be the perfect background for one of the more than 20 well-paying positions in a bank. One of every five and a half banking employees is an officer. A greater portion of graduates who pursue a banking career attain the $7500 to $10,000 per year bracket than those in any other business. These statistics apply in many cases to both men and women in banking, since 10% of banking officials are women. Banking is out ahead of most other fields in the important matter of fringe benefits. The average bank employee receives an additional $24 in fringe benefits for every $100 in salary. A career in banking offers the opportunity to further your education if you so desire. Many banks offer free courses in money, credit, banking, economics, and other allied subjects. Banking is a profession of prestige and respect. Few fields offer the college graduate such opportunities. Look ahead, weighing your talents and ambitions, and then answer this question: What about a banking career . . . for you ?
