Its true beauty tran- scends the mere bounds of brick structure and green ivy upon a wall. It is the sun through the leaves upon the walks where hundreds have trod before. It is the moon in the eyes of a young girl in love, trusting with all her heart. It is fall and winter and spring, the chance to study and read and play in a quietly beautiful corner of creation, a heritage deep and rich with meaning waiting under every silent tree, in each page-worn book, in every peaceful walk into the soft twi- light, with each stroke of the church chimes in the coolness of early evening on the way to supper. It is time to pause and be thankful, a time to gather with a friend and laugh, a time to study and learn. It is a time to fall in love, unmindful of the rain and the snow and the sun, the world exciting and alive, fresh with all the promise of the wind and the stars and the nig ht, hands linking tight, eyes shining true. S ?4 r .V It is a time of old mixing with new, youth meeting age, generations passing in between, sons following in fathers ' footsteps. It is a time of great minds being reborn, speaking out to any who will listen all it is that they have to say, then retiring softly to dusty shelves, waiting patiently until they are called upon to speak again. 10 It is a time of guidance, growth and slow appreciation, realization of basic thruths born first from doubts, cradled in the womb of uncertainties, brought thrilling ly to life by the caress of culture. It is professors and the council they give. It is life and the doors now suddenly open. It is exams and cramming and homework, patterns and activities and play, sun and sky and trees and walking, the Tower and the Gates and the President ' s home on the hill, friends and classes graduating and the memories they take with them, football games and dances and chapel at ten in the morning on Tuesday and Thursday. It is all this, four or five buildings of brick, an Old Main where hundreds have walked, a Tower sticking up high enough to be seen for miles around, a tiny town and 1 1 6 years of tradition. It is all this . . . A segment of eternity, a part of your life you will never forget, a part of your life you will forever remember and love. w - «fej W v- J I i. l Hf ft LV President Dr. Perry Epler Gresham Treasurer and Business Manager Warner Peterson Provost of External Affairs Dr. Lester McAllister Dean of the Faculty Dr. Bernal Weimer Dean of the Students Robert Preston Dean of Women Winifred Webster Administration Andrew Leitch Registrar Robert Sykes Assistant to the Publicity Director Harry Myers Accountant Perry Bowden Director of Admissions Lucile Shaw Assistant Librarian Edna W.

What ' s this, a revolt? 56 Inter-Fraternity Council The Inter-Fraternity Council is the central governing body of Bethany ' s five fraternities. Their primary con- cern is the establishment and en- forcement of rushing policies, but they are also called upon to rule on any other inter-fraternity prob- lems. The president of the I. F.

FOOTBALL With five faces gone from last year ' s starting eleven which led the ' 55 squad to Bethany ' s best won and lost record in the school ' s history, the Green and White faced a big rebuilding job to put together a team that would compare favorably with the previous one. The ' 56 Bisons accomplished their task and turned in six wins against only two losses compared to last year ' s 6-1 showing. The Big Green forward wall was comparatively young but was not lacking in experience or deter- mination. Gerald Duffee, C. T. George, Lee Irvine, Ed Tiger Joyce, Abbie Urbanic, and Ron Whitt were the regular starters with Arne Anderson, Del Carneval, and Bill Lindley alternating at right end. Co-Captains Bob and Dick, talk things over with C. T. and Gary. Bison Mentors:W. Hanna, J. J. Knight, Edgar Martin. IK - . -t rMm } Franky goes for extra yardage. The Bisons score again. Gary Gaydick and Dick Lash were the regular Bison half-backs again while another senior, Bob Spenski, and a sophomore, Paul Hoffman, filled the big shoes at full and quarter-back exceedingly well. Bob Goin did a very capable job as number two quarterback and freshman Spike Baran and shifty little sophomore Frank Yarussi did some fine running from the halves. The Big Green started the season impressively by trouncing W. VA. Wesleyan 27-6 at Buckhannon with Gaydick scoring three T-D ' s. Bethany squared off against Thiel on Homecoming Day determined to avenge the one defeat they suffered last year. They did so in fine style with a 31-6 rout of the Tomcats.

George, Guard Ed Joyce, Guard A very highly rated Westminster team was almost upset by the Green, who led 16-13 going into the last quarter. But the Titans had the reserves, the breaks, and the victory — 40 to 1 6. On the next Saturday the Bisons rolled over Davis and Elkins 34-7, but they were upset by Allegheny 33-19 one week later at Meadville. Bethany won their first game at Hiram in twenty-one years when they came from behind to score a 1 9-7 victory over the Terriors with two fourth period touchdowns. The Big Green put on a real show Dads Day, smearing Marietta 53-0 with eight players, including 240 lb. tackle Sam McMahom, scoring T-D ' s. Grove City was the Bison ' s final victim, bowing 40-34 at Grove City. Bethany certainly had its stars this year. Quarterback Hoffman ranked fourth in the nation among small First row — W. Lindley, L Irvine, H. Joyce, R.. Whitt, C. George, J. Duffee, A. Urbanic. Second row — G. Gaydick, R. Spenski, P. Hoffman, R. Lash. _. J Bill Lindley, End Dick Lash, and Gary Gaydick, Halfbacks college leaders in total offence. He gained 365 yards rushing and 881 passing for a total of 1,246. In the passing department he was number seven with 50 completions in 93 tries for a 53.7 percentage. His favorite target, Abbie Urbanic, was unsurpassed as a pass receiver in the country ' s small colleges. He gained 675 yards on 36 catches, six for touchdowns. Gary Gaydick was the team ' s rushing leader with 544 yards and top scorer with 42 points. Every member of the team would insist, though, that it was team- work and an indomitable spirit that accounted for the Bisons ' success. Thomas Davies, a past All-American, spoke at the annual Football Banquet in honor of the team, and next year ' s captain, Lee Irvine, was introduced. Abbey goes over for six points. It must be another touchdown for the Bisons. BASKETBALL Bob Goin Jim Wralten Co-Captain Dick Lash Dave Reidenouer Co-Captain Ed Johnson 112 Rudy Yaksich Auggie Losso First row — Jr. Mgr. J.

Ringler, A. Anderson, J. Brown, J. Stetsko, J. Shoen, Coach Madtin. The Bison cagers showed much improvement over last year despite its 10 win and 10 loss record. They won their first three games before losing a tough one to A. B. C. 65-63. The best of the year was un- doubtedly down at Marietta where the Bisons buffaloed the Pioneers 101-81 with seven men hitting in the double figures. Three men are leaving the team this year. They are: Ed Johnson and Dick Lash (Co-captains), and Jimmy Wratten. Rudy Yaksich, captain elect for next year, again led the Bethany scoring attack with a total of 490 points, an average of 24.5 points per game. Another of the reasons for the Bison ' s improvement was its depth. Bob Melott and Dave Reidenouer added strength to the starting five while freshmen John Brown, John Stetsko, Bruce Ringler, and sophomore Dick Hill put some potential on the bench. Auggie Losso and Bob Goin also continued to add strength to the squad. The season next year looks very optimistic even with such additions to the schedule as Western Reserve and Wayne University. E.

Hoffman, W. Lindley, Coach Knight. Improving on last year ' s 2-7 record the Bisons managed to compile a 4-5 record this year. Auggie Losso proved to be the club ' s leading hitter while sparkling at second base. Losso, hitting .346 was closely followed by Urbanic and Lash with .343 and .310 respectively. Hays, Hoffman, and Carneval also came through with some fine clutch hitting and fielding. Pitchers Otey and Reidenouer chalked up the four Bethany victories, backed up strongly behind the plate by Phil Cocco. Coach Knight has high hopes for next year as Dick Lash is his only senior on the club. He feels that the team has progressed tremendously over last year ' s showing and should be a real tough ball club, come next spring. Coach E. Martin, Captain R. Lash, Coach J. J. Knight. 117 The Bison track squad did not fair as well as expected in preseason analysis but never- theless the Bethany thinclads were able to gain third place in the state meet. Injuries and cold weather were the toughest opponents the team encountered. There were several bright spots however on the squad coached by Tom Hill. One of these was distance man John Schaffer who in the state meet broke his own record in the 880 yard run. Another encouraging factor concerns the number of freshmen who will be returning next year with a year of experience under their belt. The co-captains of this year ' s team were Elmo Baker and Donald Neubert. These two men will be the only men lost to the team via graduation. r f z£ v ' i ,tH % Co-Captain D.

The Bethany College tennis team hit a new high in 1 957 as it was the first team in history to make a clean sweep of all titles in the West Virginia State Intercollegiate Champion- ships. Les Leonetti took the singles crown, Captain Jim Breen and Russ Saunders the doubles and the squad scored 24 points to six for its nearest competitor to take the team trophy. As four top men were lost from the 1 956 squad the team lacked experience and started slowly, but developed fast. The addition of two freshmen, Russ Saunders and Dave Dun- ham, helped fill the gaps and the team climaxed a seven win-four loss season with its third consecutive State Cham- pionship.

The Hilltoppers retained their title, however, with Bethany finishing third despite freshman Tom Giesey ' s individual low score of 147.

These six boosted the mo- rale of the students and teams, winning or losing, with their peppy Bethany fight cheers, songs, and chants. On the social calendar, the cheer- leaders sponsored a reverse week- end, participated in convocation programs, held pep rallies in the Bee Hive and bonfired in the Coal Bowl. x: Harry Lane Riker Steffanie Jones Sandy Hubacher Carol Jenkins Barbara Wolff 124 Charlotte Nelson J.

Boys intramural sports have expanded with the addition of new contests and a final trophy, to be presented to the fraternity having accumulated the most points throughout the year. The Phi Tau ' s lost their football crown to the Beta ' s but went on to win the majority of the remaining contests and the new trophy. Both basket- ball and volleyball laurels changed hands, with the K.D. ' s winning basketball, and the Alpha Xi ' s champions in volleyball. Intramurals BASKETBALL: First row — F. Yarussi, A.
