But to record all the memories of a year is a difficult task, for it must be remembered that year after year students do not wish to see the same type of material. This year the staff has attempted to organize the book according to seasons. The three seasons that we see at Bethany are fall, winter, and spring. Fall brings us to Bethanv. The first thing that we encounter is registra- tion, a confusing and complicated task for the freshmen. But for the fresh- men there is more than just registration — there is hazing. The purpose of hazing, which comes to a climax with homecoming, is to acquaint the upperclassmen with the freshmen. Undoubtedly this is a most memorable time and as the freshmen become adjusted, they are allowed to join sorori- ties and fraternities. These social organizations help for a more closely knit school. Along with school work and clubs we have cross country and football, for sports are very important to the students throughout the year; and as we move from season to season, our interests in sports change. Both football and cross country create enthusiasm and provide entertaining diversions to start off the year. Then as the leaves begin to fall we find the beautiful season of winter creeping upon us. Winter is the most memorable of seasons at Bethany. As we get into full swing with classes, the campus organizations are formed. Students join and elect officers who make plans for the coming year. Before Christmas vaca- tion we have Christian Living Emphasis Week where speakers are invited and the students have a chance to ask questions which may be puzzling to them. Then comes Christmas which is celebrated early in Bethanv and terminates back at school after a long vacation. During the week before vacation there is a hive party and other activities including the Messiah. The Messiah is two hours of music presented by the students. Although everyone is busy with activities and studies, they also find time for basket- ball and swimming which have their hayday in winter. These sports provide diversification from the normal. A ' fe WINTER Finally Spring breaks through the hills and brings warmth and happiness to Bethany. Because of the beautiful weather there are many outdoor activi- ties, such as the Coal Bowl Picnic, the Association of Women Students Carnival, and the Annual Buffalo Creek Regatta. However, the social high- light for this time of year is the Greek Sing, in which all the fraternities and sororities compete in group singing. And then at last after the long year and the three before it. there is graduation. This is the high spot of the whole year and certainly the most important in the lives of the students of the senior class. After all the hard work and fun. the graduates are ready to go out into the world and leave their friends and their beautiful school behind.

RICHARD SCHANCK IS HONORED BY THE BETHANIAN With deep admiration the class of 1961 has chosen to dedicate this year ' s Bethanian to Profes- sor Schanck, chairman of the Sociology Depart- ment. Doctor Schanck. a nationally known figure in the field of Sociology, earned the A.B. and A.M. degrees from Northwestern University and com- pleted his Doctorate at Syracuse University in the field of Social Psychology. Before coming to Bethany Dr. Schanck was quite active in the field of city planning, having served as a planning consultant for the cities of Philadelphia, Wheeling, and Cleveland. Doctor Schanck at present is quite active in com- munity affairs. He is on the board of Directors of the Weirton Christian Center and is a member of the Bethany Kiwanis Club. As a writer. Doctor Schanck has had varied publications, including Social Psychology, Community and its Groups and Institutions. and ' ' The Permanent Revolution in Science. Doctor Schanck, the class of 1961 is proud to dedicate this Bethanian to you. Your interest in us as individual students, your respect for your fellow man, and your participation in civic and scholastic affairs are worthy of great merit. We, as students, thank you for helping to guide us during our undergraduate years and for your con- tributions to Bethany College. IN MEMORY OF HARRY M. MYERS A football game, basketball game, baseball game, a board meeting of the school, community, church, or service organization ... he was always there. Harry M. Myers was a loyal supporter of not only the college but the college community as well. He was the man who was always there, did his part detail perfect, but never seemed to say much. Mr. Myers didn ' t have to speak much, he went ahead and did his job the best way possible. His great love was sports and he supported all the college teams to the fullest. He became an ac- complished golfer and coached the college golf team. He approached the game the same as any- thing else he did, with a desire for perfection. Harry M. Myers was a true Bethanian. His life centered around the college and its activities. It is to this dedicated man that we, the students of Bethany College, pay tribute. 1 ,. M. e THE COLLEGE Jl A ' 4 ' ' ' r£k;-- BETHANY, WEST VIRGINIA a Small College of Distmction l WELCOME TO BETHANY Displayed in front of Cochran Hall, this marker serves to welcome new students, visitors, and pass- ers-by to Bethany. In accordance with tradition, the class of 1957 donated this gift to the college upon their graduation, using funds accumulated from various class projects. White letters set off by a green background attract attention to the friendly atmosphere of Bethany, offering welcome to all who seek education. PHI TAU BRIDGE The Phi Tau Bridge, named for the fraternity claiming exclusive rights to it, is located one mile out of Bethany on Route 67. Emblazoned with Greek letters, this bridge is a favorite landmark to Bethanians. BETHANY 1 MILE This road marker gives an inclusive view of the location of the college. Historical and intellectual significance are evidenced by the proximity of Alexander Cambell mansion and West Liberty CoUege. 10 CAMPBELL HALL Campbell Hall ' s modernistic design superimposes advancement upon the historical foundation of Beth- any ' s campus. This futuristic, low-slung residence is grafted to the Gothic charm of such buildings as Old Main and Phillips Hall, complementing them while contrasting between the past and the future. The dormitory is located next to the church and it provides housing for 100 men. It was dedicated on April I. 1956. COCHRAN HALL BETHANY HOUSE Facing the old cobblestone road and Main Street. Cochran Hall, built in 1910. is constructed of white brick. This four-storied men ' s residence features a lounge and head residence suite. The Bethany House occupies the terrace at the lower entrance to the campus. Completed in 1948, it contains the Bee Hive, men ' s dining hall, lounge, meeting rooms, and guest and facultv lounges. OGLEBAY GATES Tradition surrounds Oglebay Gates, lending an atmosphere of reverence to the red-brick pillars and iron grilhvork. Complementing the architecture of Old Main, the gates frame the tower clock in the distance, pointing to the main feature of Bethany ' s campus. The main entrance to the college has al- ways centered around Oglebay Gates and the pillars add a dignity to the hillside. Freshmen become acquainted with this entrance early in the year, since, during Hazing, they are forbidden to walk down the steps or through the archways. Seniors hold their annually step sing ' there, also. Adding to tradition, the gates are opened when final exami- nations are being given on the hill. This is supposedly to let the ponies through. They are closed at all other times. PHILLIPS HALL A residence for women students, Phillips Hall is adjacent to Old Main and is also of Gothic archi- tecture, featuring pointed spires and arches. The original building was a gift of Mr. Thomas W. Phillips in 1890. while the present dormitory was completed in 1930, replacing and including the older one. 112 women occupy rooms on three floors of the hall and share the spacious lounge on the first floor. The dormitory also contains the women ' s dining hall, drawing rooms, guest rooms, and housing for administrative personnel. Both the lounge and the dining hall are used for various social functions, such as jazz concerts and dances. OLD MAIN Old Main is the center of Bethany College com- bining historical significance with Gothic beauty. It stands in the center of the upper campus, flanked on either side by Commencement Hall and Oglebay Hall. Work was begun on this building in 1858, but was not completed until the 1870 ' s, due to the intervention of the Civil War and other delays. Old Main, as it now stands, was constructed to replace the original college building which had been destroyed by fire. Running the entire length of the building along the west side is the corridor, an open hall about 300 feet long. Old Main contains 40 rooms used for classrooms and offices, and features a Bulletin Board on which all important college notices are posted. 12 GATEWAY HALL Gateway Hall, a residence for upperclass women, IS conveniently located on Pendleton Street, over- looking the Bethany House. Large shade trees and a spacious lawn area create a pleasant environment for studying or socializing. Gateway Hall provides a very home-like atmosphere for the girls who occupy its three floors of living quarters. A large television lounge on the first floor offers pleasant diversion from studying. When the warm weather rolls around, many Bethany bathing beauties may be caught leisurely soaking up the sun on Gateway ' s lawn. IVABELL HARLAN HALL Behind Phillips Hall is the newest addition to the campus living quarters. Ivabell Harlan Hall. This dormitory, just completed in September of 1960, was dedicated with Mr. C. Allen Harlan and his wife, Ivabell, present at a formal convocation. Its role as a residence for upperclass women is two- fold: one half being occupied by the Phi Mus. just moved this year from down the hill. ' Immediately opposite the front doors of Harlan Hall are the tennis courts which provide pleasant distraction from studying. PHILLIPS LIBRARY The T. W. Phillips Memorial Library was dedi- cated on June 4, 1960. It is designed to accommo- date 150,000 volumes. One of its attractive features is the Campbell Room which contains original ma- terials pertinent to the founding of the Churches of Christ. The library is a teaching institution with ample provision for such modern devices as audio- visual equipment and microfibn facilities. Classes using films meet frequently in the 200- seat audio-visual center on the first floor of the library. This small auditorium is used for special lectures and chamber concerts. Adjoining is the faculty lounge opening onto terrazzo terraces. Com- plete kitchen facilities are available for receptions and teas. IRVIN GYM From the corridor between Old Main and Ogle- bay Hall, one is able to see Irvin Gym, the center, of women ' s physical education since 1948. It is, also the scene of folk and social dancing classes. Below the gym is the swimming pool, used for col- lege meets. Above and around the insides of the gym is the running track, which is used during the winter by the men getting in shape for spring sports. OFFICE BUILDING This barrack-like structure of semi-permanent construction, was given to the college in 1947. Inferior as it may be to the rest of the buildings, its function is to house a rather superior group of beings: the faculty. Soon they will be moved to new, more spacious offices in the renovated old library. PENDLETON HEIGHTS Gabled and Gothic, Pendleton Heights has re- sided over the campus since 1841. This is the year William K. Pendleton built the house on the Hill to serve as a home for future presidents. Its im- pressiveness is complemented by the great sloping hill on which it is situated: strewn with crinkling leaves in autumn, blanketed with unmarked snow in winter, and covered with spikes of awakening grass in spring. 14 -. COLLEGE BOOK STORE Occupying the same building as the town ' s only federal institution is the College Bookstore. Within are those cherished instruments of knowledge we must buy at the beginning of each semester and the money we try to get back for those used books at the end of each semester. Gleaming in glass cases are the relics to remind us of our years spent at Bethany: sweatshirts, mugs, and class rings. COLLEGE INN The College Inn is a colorful establishment just beyond Chamber ' s. It is a confectioner ' s store of some sort with the added attraction of a pinball machine. Agonizing hours and wasted nickels are spent trying to beat the odds and the townsfolk who are highly proficient at this questionable sport. The place does have one cultural attraction, though; newspapers with news from the outside world. FIELD HOUSE Since 1948, the Alumni Field House has been the enter of many of Bethany ' s intercollegiate skir- nishes. As you walk through the doors in the glass acade. you see before you Bethany ' s full trophy ase. You then come upon the spacious gym, lanked by bleachers with two balconies above hem. Adjacent to the Field House are the Rine lecreation Fields. 15 .N f) DR. PERRY EPLER GRESHAM, PRESIDENT Dr. Perry Epler Gresham. author, lecturer, and internationally known scholar and churchman, may rightly be called the modern Sage of Bethany. As president of Bethany College, Dr. Gresham serves not only as administrator, but also as an ambas- sador to insure the position and progress of Bethany. Dr. Greshams contributions to society are widely varied. As an author. Dr. Gresham has written The Disciplines of the High Calling and edited The Sage of Bethany. He has also served as a professor of philosophy and as a minister of various pastor- The honors that have been conferred upon Presi- dent Gresham reveal the high esteem in which he is held across the country. Texas Christian Univer- sity awarded Dr. Gresham a citation for his con- tribution to higher learning and he was recently elected president of the International Churches of Christ. Dr. Gresham ' s versatility and personality com- bined with his devotion to Bethany characterize a President who is admired by all Bethanians. WARNER G. PETERSON VICE-PRESIDENT DR. BERNAL R. WEIMER VICE-PRESIDENT Dr. Bernal R. Weimer ' s service to Bethany Col- lege throughout the years is immeasurable in terms of hard work and self-sacrifice. As Vice-President and Dean of the Faculty, he is a capable adminis- trator, working out the difficult problems of his responsibility with great efficiency. To students, however. Dean Weimer is more than a college official; he is a respected teacher, humorist, and understanding counsellor. Most freshmen come under the tutelage of Dean Weimer in his course in freshman biology and throughout their years at Bethany can affectionately recall his famous puns and jokes. Dr. Weimer is also a writer, hav- ing co-authored a general biology textbook and laboratory manual and also compiled a book of scientific humor. Although Dr. Weimer will retire as Dean of the Faculty after this year, he will con- tinue teaching and guiding students in his inimitable way. Thus, Bethany pays tribute to a great edu- cator, administrator, and humorist, and is grateful for his many years of support, planning, and counselling. functi jthl-v No college would be able to tunclion smootmy without an efficient Business Manager. Mr. Warner G. Peterson ably fills this position, and carries the added duties of Vice-President and Treasurer of Bethany College, as well. Due to Mr. Peterson ' s expert management, many financial problems have been resolved and the mechanics of the college have continued to operate successfully. Mr. Peterson may be found not only in the business offices, but also on the tennis courts. An excellent tennis player himself. Mr. Peterson has coached the tennis team to several successful seasons, and. greatly due to his coaching, the team was able to win the state tournament in 1960. In an administrative capacity, Mr. Peterson has worked closely with the plan f(jr a Student Activity Fee. Mr. Peterson has been rightly called one of the most versatile men in Bethany ' s administration. His varied interests and capable planning have won hini a place of regard at Bethany. 19 ADMINISTR Dean Ridgely Park has taken over the all-encom- passing position of Dean of Women. Although this job carries heavy responsibility, Dean Park ' s experience is so greatly varied and centered in personnel work that she is well-equipped to handle the task. This experience ranges from college test- ing, counseling, teaching, and speech therapy to national research for a television network. Most important. Dean Park favors change and expansion. Her new ideas could have an important impact on student life at Bethany, affecting both social and academic areas. Dean Park ' s experience and ideas have already produced outstanding results and we are grateful for the energv and enthusiasm she has added to our campus. E. RIDGELY PARK. A.M. Dean of Women Instructor in English Dean Robert A. Preston. Dean of Students, con- tinually proves himself to be a friend and advisor to all who ask for his counsel. With his capable guidance, the life of the average student assumes the qualities of responsibility and leadership which are necessary for a Bethany student to be a true Betha ' nian. Besides his duties as Dean of Students. Dean Preston teaches some classes in the psychology department for which he is also well-qualified. ROBERT A. PRESTON, A.M. Dean of Students Miss Luta M. Gordon. Registrar of Bethany Col- lege, is busy for countless hours with her many duties. She answers rilany letters from prospective Bethanians about the school and its curriculum. Miss Gordon is also helpful to any student wJio comes to her to discuss problems of study, curric- ulum, and class absences. Miss Gordon seems to know the correct solution to any academic problem and her prompt advice is always forthcoming and helpful to all who seek it of her. Registration days find her particularly busy, straightening out endless class schedules for the students and arranging class meetings for the bene- fit of all. With an able staff. Miss Gordon carries out her many duties with a cheerful smile. LUTA M. GORDON, M.A. Registrar 20 ATION Mr. Robert H. Yockey. Head Librarian of the Bethany College Library, is an extremely busy per- son; especially since moying into the new library. His duties haye almost doubled since that time. Assisted by an able staff. Mr. Yockey spends end- less hours cataloging books, filing cards, setting up displays, and arranging and re-arranging the well-stocked library sheKes. Mr. Yockey is also helpful to students who seek his adyice about books or studies. In addition to all these duties, come those countless little, every- day tasks to which he must apply himself. Mr. Yockey also teaches classes in library science so that he might help pattern the lives of f uture librarians. ROBERT II. YOCKEY. M.S. Hpdd Librarian Mr. Robert A. Sandercox. Provost of External Affairs, is one of the men responsible for Bethany ' s high and ever-growing reputation in America. To achieve this goal. Mr. Sandercox must spend some of his time away from Bethany, talking and coun- seling with high school students from all over the country about their various future plans. Bethany College ' s continued academic progress is certainly dependent upon Mr. Sandercox. ROBERT A. SAXDERCOX, B.D. Assistant Provost Mr. J. Allan Watson faithfully serves Bethany College as its Director of Development. Mr. Watson is an important man to the college for he has helped Bethany College gain national prominence, and is always directing his efforts so that Bethany will remain in its prominent position. The recent build- ing of the new Phillips Memorial Library and Harlan Hall, the new residence for upperclass women, were projects into which Mr. Watson put endless hours of thought and planning. Mr. Wat- son ' s job will not stop here for it is ever-growing. Currently Mr. Watson, along with other college officials, is studying and supervising plans and rais- ing funds for the construction of a new science building. J. ALLAN WATSON, A.B. Director of Development 21 ADMINIST PAUL D. PURSGLOVE, A.B. Assistant Director of Admissions We should learn to appreciate the qualified men and women behind the scenes, who keep Bethany College running at its top level. Mr. Pursglove, a new addition to the administra- tive staff, has served this year as Assistant Provost, and has helped Bethany College to continue to grow. Of course the progress has been greatly aided by Mr. Myers. Accountant at Bethany. Mr. White, Manager of Bethany College Stores, and Mr. Dunham. Director of Buildings and Grounds. Our beautiful new library is a welcome addition to Bethany ' s campus. All of us who study there certainly know that it would be quite ineffective were it not staffed by well-qualified and helpful PAUL E. WHITE, A.i Manager of Bethany College Stores HARLIE B.

The Political Science Department, headed by Dr. Marcus, has reached new heights of activity and merit this year. The aim of the department is to acquaint the students with the political institutions and political problems in the United States and the world today.

Therefore, one of the col- lege ' s aims is the undertaking of providing higher education in the atmosphere of Christian ideals and Christian faith and to assist in the development of the moral character and religious life of its students. The aims of the department of religion, which is headed by Dr. McAllister, are to provide a focus of religious meanings for the guidance of life and the integration of knowledge, and to prepare stu- dents, planning to enter the various branches of the Christian Ministry, for graduate study in profes- sional schools in religion. The department also provides a basic religious background for the gen- eral student of Bethany College. Dr. McAllister is assisted by Dr. Booth. Rev. Lemon, minister of the Disciples of Christ Church in Bethany, and this year ' s new member of the religious department ' s staff. Mr. Doster. LESTER G. McAllister, Th.D.

During the first 9 months the freshman students are required to attend Bethany on Monday of each week. Here courses in Psychology, Chemis- try, and Microbiology are studied. Along with general nursing care, a student will begin her special service in surgery, obstetrics, pediatrics, blood bank, and psychiatric nursing at the Columbus State Hospital. These courses make up the largest amount of her junior and senior years. Nursing is by no means all work. Some of the many activities include: chorus, picnics, monthly dances, formals, and a recently organized basket- ball team. In her first year every student has the week-ends free, but in her junior year she only receives days off when it does not interfere with her class schedule.

The next day in the Beehive, the freshmen re- ceived their handbooks, nick-names, beanies, and demerit books.

ALPHA XIS SHINE IN Alpha Xi Delta ' s contribution to Bethany ' s cam- pus this year can best be summarized in three words — versatility, vanity, activity. Its members have pervaded all aspects of college life and have been awarded membership in honorary societies, offices in student clubs, distinction in scholarship, and trophies for outstanding achievement. The year started out well for the chapter when Pat O ' Nasch was crowned Homecoming Queen and Mary McConnell assuined the position of head cheerleader. The majority of the cheerleading squad was also composed of Alpha Xis. This year ' s pledge class immediately demonstrated leadership ability, becoming active in A.W.S., cheerleading, publications and many clubs and organizations. One of the highlights of the year was the annual shoe-shine and pizza party. In order to raise money for their national philanthropy, the Alpha Xis took over the Hive on a Saturday afternoon in March, shining shoes for 25c a pair. The following night a pizza dinner was given by the chapter in the Bethany House. 78 First Row: N. Renipke, M. Lamont, D. Prandine, B. Schriver, S. Johns, J. Fastie, J. Isner, S. Blanchet, P.

ZETAS ACTIVE Theta chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha was organized at Bethany College on October 15. 1905 and since has worked hard to fulfill the goals of service to others, scholarship, high standards, and social ac- tiveness, within the Fraternity and the comipunity. The national Fraternity supports the Crippled Children of America. Working to help in this cause, Theta chapter collected money for the annual Easter Seal campaign. In the spring they held an auction, selling pledge classes, cakes, and car washes to help the mentally retarded children. Several members served in the Bethany Memorial Church nursery. At the close of formal rush, twenty freshmen became Zeta Tau Alph ' a pledges and the chapter added three more pledges during the year. A spaghetti dinner, pledge dance, and the annual White Violet Banquet for Big and Little Sisters was held in their honor. The forinal was held this 84 Zeta pledges try their hand in the kitchen.

Since its inception in 1955, the Asso- ciation could not have achieved its present position on the Bethany College Campus without Tom ' s leadership and devotion to the organization. He served not only as the first President of the Inde- pendent Association, but also was President of Gamma Sigma Kappa and the International Rela- tions Club. He was in Kalon and on the Student Board of Publications. His scholastic index for his four years at Bethany was 3.96; Tom maintained a four point average during his semester at American University. His founding of the Independent group was to facilitate those students wishing representa- tion on the S.B.O.G., but not being a member of a fraternal group. OFFICERS: M. Mishkin, T. Waddel, J.

Fulfillment of this purpose comes through representation on the Student Board of Governors, the Women ' s Recreation Association, the Social Committee and the Association of Women Students. A cause of great satisfaction within the A.I.W. this year was receiving the Anna Bourne Scholar- ship Cup on Honor ' s Day for the first time in its history.

It provides full representation of the student body in school affairs. The S.B.O.G., now fashioned after the United States Government with a cabinet, congress, and student court, serves as a link between the students and the administration to promote better relationships and cooperation. This governing body is composed of two representatives from each fraternal organization and independent association. It meets bi-monthly to discuss matters of concern to student and faculty. In annual elections in February, Herb Berman suc- ceeded Jack Aupperle as President. This year some of the accomplishments of the S.B.O.G. were modernizing the Student Body Con- stitution and By-Laws, revising the library hours, extending the cha])el programs, continuing Beehive renovation, and improving the general student ser- vices.

The tasit of or- ganizing events and activities is delegated to the Social Committee members and the Social Chair- man. At the start of the 1960-61 academic year Paul Neal was the Social Chairman. Through his efforts and through the efforts of his successor, Andy Mullins. the year ' s social program was very suc- cessful. The first college social event for the year was the Homecoming Dance. Pat Onash was crowned as queen by Dr. Gresham at the Pine Room. The Queen of Hearts Dance, held in Phillips Hall, was the next affair on campus. Millie Deleeuw was chosen as our Queen of Hearts. In the spring many social events take place. There is the A.W.S. Carnival, the Regatta, and the Chicken in the Coal Bowl, which had to be held in the Bethany House because of rain. 89 First Rotv: B.

The A.W.S. Executive Board is composed of repre- sentatives from each residence hall who meet reg- ularly to plan activities and to discuss questions concerning women ' s government. Activities during the year sponsored by A.W.S. were the Lodge Party, Style Show, A.W.S. Carnival, and the May Morning Breakfast honoring the senior women. The Women ' s Recreation Association this year joined the Varsity ' B in selling the freshman beanies and handbooks. With Nora Rempke hold- ing the position of president, they held intramural basketball, volleyball, softball and badminton tour- naments. The point system was revised for lettering and a handbook for the or ganization will be pub- lished containing the constitution, rules and regula- tions of the membership and earning letters.

The student serv- ice organization took a census in cooperation with the town council, and a drive for better fire pro- tection in cooperation with the other town service organizations. The Javcees have elected a student of the month for each month of the spring semester and elected Rich Reddington as Student of the ear. ' Campaigning for President Kennedy constituted the most rewarding part of the club ' s activity, as the Young Democrats hosted speakers and distrib- uted campaign literature. Under the direction of President S. K. Schonberg and Vice-President B. Kershner. the Democrats continued their efforts to stimulate student interest in practical politics throughout the school vear.

Creativity ' was the theme for this year ' s Student ational Education Association at Bethany College. The program was designed to include workshops, discussions and several guest speakers. The club is associated with the National Educa- tion Association, but membership is not restricted to education majors. It is open to any interested students and it is hoped that the organization will give them a broader outlook on the educational field. This year ' s President was Sally Richardson and Jayne Cooley was elected to succeed her as next year ' s President. LANGUAGE CLUB The Modern Language Club was organized for the purpose of creating and stimulating a better interest and understanding of the language, culture, and customs of Spain, Russia, Germany, and France. The club drew up a new constitution in the fall semester of 1960. Under the new plan, business meetings were limited to three a year. The primary activities of the club consisted in presenting a series of foreign films. Other programs included the traditional Christmas Serenade, caroling throughout Bethany familiar Spanish, French, Latin, and German songs. The club officers include: Thomas R. Waddell, President; Myrna Yost, Vice-President; Emily Leyenberger, Secretary and Treasurer. 101 NEWMAN CLUB The Newman Club is a Catholic Club that is designed to help foster the spiritual, intellectual, and social interests of the Catholic students on Bethany ' s campus.

TOPLIFFE IS NEW The Tower relocated by taking over new head- quarters in the Faculty Office Building, having been dispossessed from their old home in the barracks. Other innovations were the reduction of the size of the newspaper to make the printing of added and special editions possible. In a further effort to change old ways and finish the year in the black, the newspaper conducted an extensive subscription campaign and the Voice of West Virginia ' s College began to make itself be heard in homes throughout the nation. Following the precedent set the year before, The Tower published two special editions, one dealing with Homecoming, and the other devoted to the S.B.O.G. elections. An effort was made to give more thorough coverage to student government in order to stimulate interest in this phase of college fe. The writing of Letters to the Editor was encouraged and a column in each edition was de- ANN MALONEY, the Lois Lane of the Tower. NEIL TOPLIFFE, next year ' s editor, goes over copy with Betty Schriver. SAM SCHONBERG, the Tower Business Manager. TOWER EDITOR voted to this form of criticism. Marilynn Walliser rose to the position of Editor- in-Chief and spent every second Tuesday evening squeezing four pages of news out of activities of the great metropolis of Bethany. Departmental Editors included Neil Topliffe, Features; Betty Schriver, News; Frank Payne, Sports; and Ann Maloney, the Lois Lane of the Tower. Behind the scenes workers for the publication were S. K. Schonberg, Business Manager, EUene Kinney, Of- fice Manager, and Stanley Faigin, Circulation Man- ager. A continuation of the year ' s improvements is expected, as the staff has joined in conferences, with Wheeling and West Liberty Colleges, which they hope will aid in solving some of the problems which will confront them. The new Editor-in-Chief will be Neil Topliffe, while financial responsibilities will go to Ann Maloney. JULIE FRANKEL, Editor-in-Chief. 1961 BETHANIAN CONTINUES The 1961 Bethanian continued to carry on the newly set tradition of a well organized book. Com- piling a college annual is certainly not a one man task. Naturally the Business Manager and the Ed- itor-in-Chief do the bulk of the work, but other staff members are also necessary. This year ' s staff was composed of Barbara Stwigerwaldt, Feature Editor; Jim Compagnone, Sports Editor; Bruce Barnett, Photography Editor; Dana Fuller, Art Editor; Deanie Waldeland.

Stermer, J. Nolan, J. Addy, J. Casto. 1960 saw the birth of the Bethany College Orch- estra. It is one of the few collegiate orchestras in West Virginia, and is probably unique in having the serious intention of developing into a first class symphony. During the Spring Festival, held on Mothers Day at Bethany, the organization made its debut. It played Wagner ' s overture to Die Meistersinger and Beethoven ' s First Syinphony. Next year a regular class will be scheduled to promote the program of the orchestra, and will be open to all those students interested in professional orchestral training. LITERARY HARBINGER The Literary Harbinger is the representative of the literary art on Bethany ' s campus. Serving as a creative outlet for any students, faculty, or alumni who wish to contribute literary material, the Harbinger appears each academic year.

Worship and Ritual, Science and Religion, and Church and State. The varied topics of C.L.E.W. this year were se- lected because they seem to deal with a variety of problems confronting all of today ' s college students. Barbara Benson and Carl Trosch were the co- chairmen and Dr. J. S. V. Allen and Mr. Robert Lemon were the faculty advisors for C.L.E.W. C.L.E.W. guest speakers included Father Stephen Al Leytham looks over C.L.E.W. Book Display.

FACULTY SHOW IS The Christmas season is one filled with many varied activities for Bethany students and faculty. Students and professors are invited to sing in the annual presentation of Handel ' s Messiah. and all are welcome to attend the Christmas dinner. Mr. Ervin J. Cassell. manager of the Slater food service, planned a delicious and attractively served menu. Each table of eight was served an entire roasted turkev. However, students and faculty did assume dif- ferent roles December 15th, when the annual Fac- ulty Christmas Show was presented after many top- secret rehearsals. Students were hilariously enter- tained by the antics of their professors and sur- Dr. Slavin, playing the role again The faculty t ivc- their imaginative interpre- tation of Emily ' s.

The Facuhy Club, in planning this year ' s edition of their annual show, adopted more realistic lines than those of the past by abandoning the slapstick approach. The planning committee, headed by Miss Rosemarie Pysh. assistant Dean of Women, con- tained the talents of Mrs. P. E. Gresham, Mr. Greggory Fowler. Mr. J. C. Forbes, and Mr. George Hauptfuehrer. The residents of Phillips Hall conducted Christ- mas Open House and prizes were awarded to the best-decorated rooms. Students were again enter- tained at the informal party and the Christmas Formal dance which was held in Phillips Hall. Look, Ma, no hands. The seniors uphold a Bethany tradition. 115 High School was never like this. The Queen of Hearts, Millie Deleeuv QUEEN OF HEARTS One of the most delightful features on Bethany ' s social calendar is the annual Queen of Hearts Ball. Phillips Hall lounge was colorfully transformed into a cupid ' s paradise in honor of St. Val entine ' s Day. Large crimson hearts, chubby cherubs armed with the sometimes fatal bows and arrows of love, and a ceiling of red and white paper streamers created an ideal atmosphere for Cupid ' s arrow to find its mark. The queen and her court, with escorts. Paul Niel, the social chairman, crowns If only Tom were here. CROWNED AT DANCE Unaware of Cupid ' s intentions. Bethany students enjoyed a pleasant evening dancing to the music of Billy James. The tension began to mount when the moment arrived for the crowning of Bethany ' s Queen of Hearts. Which one of the three very lovely candidates. Millie Deleeuw, Beverly Guthrie, and Barbara Roggan. would be this year ' s queen?

The Social Committee sponsors several main attractions every year and a variety of smaller affairs. This year the Slater System sponsored many Bee Hive parties for students on holidays such as Halloween, and St. Patrick ' s Day. One of the most enjoyable functions this year was the Benny Bennack Jazz Show. Benny Bennack and his dixieland band played for students at Phillips Hall.

Beta Theta Pi made a strong bid towards the end of the year to overtake the Sigsr but fell short by failing to win the horseshoes tournament, the final event of the year. During 1960-61. the five fraternities, the fresh- men, and a group of unaffiliated who called them- selves the Ironmen participated in the competition. By mutual agreement the freshmen and Ironmen were allowed to compete but could not share in the point distribution. Men who lettered in varsity sports at Bethany were ineligible to participate in the events in which they had earned a letter. Sigma Nu compiled many of its points by taking firsts in basketball, swimming, and Softball. Al- though the Ironmen won the football championship, the Sigs received the first-place points by taking second. Beta Theta Pi won the turkey-day trot, volleyball, track, golf, and ping pong and took the doubles Bernie Kerscliner returns a slam in the ping pong tournanienl. match in the horseshoe contest.

PICNIC RAINED OUT Because of the long rainy season and inclement weather Bethanians ex])erienced this spring, the an- nual (-hicken-in-the-Coal Bowl harhecue had to be held indoors. The Bethany House was the scene of this year ' s indoor picnic. Each student and guest received one half of a delicious barbecued chicken and all of the appropriate trimmings. Although the weather spoiled the outdoor tradition of the bar- becue, students rationalized by claiming that this year they didn ' t have to contend with the usual picnic ants and flies.

THIRD ANNUAL REGATTA Three years ago some of the ambitious male collegians on our campus, obviously victims of spring fever, decided they needed a project to fill their idle moments. After much deliberation, their brain waves produced an idea which is becoming another Bethany tradition.

BDELD AT BETHANY This year ' s Regatta was held on May 20th and very well attended bv students and faculty. Partici- pation was at an all-time high. This may have been due to the fact that girls were allowed to enter rafts for the first time. Entries included row-boats, a paddle-wheel boat, several inner-tube rafts, and a craft constructed from steel barrels. Dale McNinch and Chuck Witzberger proved to be this year ' s most skillful nauticals. Pension mounted, as the Regatta was about to start. ' ' • -- iMm ,A. The girls gave it a game try.

Several Bethanians live in Fort Lauderdale and extended hospitality to their classmates. Others resided in motels when not sunning on the crowded beaches or engaging in some of Lauderdale ' s many attractions. Miami, Daytona Beach, and Fort Meyers were other Florida cities visited by Bethanians. Room in the background. Bruce Barnett looks around for a good place to lie down.

ATHLETES HONORED AT BANQUET Bethany College drew the final curtain on its 1960-61 athletic prograin with the annual sports banquet, May 25. Varsity athletes were treated with a steak dinner and were given shaving mugs as a token of appreciation from the athletic depart- ment. At the banquet Al Hammond was named Beth- any ' s most valuable football player. Hammond was also voted as the outstanding senior athlete by the coaches. Don Dodge received a trophy for being the most valuable basketball player. He also was given an award for being the most accurate foul shooter for Bethany. Some of the squads expressed their grati- tude for the coaching and guidance they received by presenting gifts to the various coaches. Athletes are treated with steak dinners at banquet held in their honor. 162 Moos liven up half-time of Bethany-Fenn basketball game. MOOS MAINTAIN COLLEGE SPIRIT The Moo Moo Moo was organized in 1923 as an honorary pep organization for the purpose of maintaining college spirit and student morale. With their activity clothed in secrecy, the bulls of the Moo select their calves and train them in the obscure ways of keeping ever high the name of dear old Bethany. The official garb of the organization is any old dilapidated hat and bathrobe, curiously ornamented with a wide variety of beverage advertisements. The three moos. led this year bv Andy Mullins, added much color to the home football and basket- ball games. They helped raise school spirit by entering humor into the events with mimicry and gyinnastic stunts. They also put life into the Bee Hive pep rallies with their humorous skits.

In the fall of our freshman year, we survived the agonizing period of hazing and rush and elected as our class officers Dave Roomey, Pete White, Sue Kuhn, and Dean Chadwell. The Bethany Bisons had one of their best seasons with Wills Young filling in as quarterback. The freshman class also contributed to the varsity basketball, track, and baseball teams. During the summer we awaited our return as confident upperclassmen. As sophomores, Lou Trosch led our class. He also won the Bachelor of the Year award, while Sue Kuhn reigned as A.W.S. Queen. Sophomores were elected to Beta Beta Beta and Alpha Psi Omega, participated in varsity sports, and were represented in almost every club on campus. The winter of our junior year brought the snow carnival. During this year. John Haniford, Bar- bara Mitchell, and Rick Reddington headed a prom- inent class. Juniors presided over all the fraternities and sororities, ran the Tower, the Bethanian, and the Social Committee, and helped form a Junior Chamber of Commerce. Pat Muckley was chosen as A.W.S. Carnival Queen, while Jack Aupperle and Linda Lewis were selected as the Outstanding Junior Man and Woman. Jack was also selected to head the Student Board of Governors. Our senior year was a hectic one, and as we look back on it, many of us are probably wondering how we ever survived. Lhider the direction of Art Tanenbaum, Bill Fainglass, Linda Lewis, and John Graham, the Senior Class presented Bethany Col- lege with a gold mace to be used in academic processions. Pat Onasch was our Homecoming Queen, with Nancy Fischer, Valdeane Waldeland, Mary McConnell, and Barbara Mitchell as her at- tendants. Selected to Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities were Nancy Fischer, Roberta Holt, Linda Lewis, Barbara Mitchell, Mary McConnell, Anne Adkins, Marilynn Waliser, Andy Celestin, Jack Aupperle, Shelly Lisker, Rick Red- dington, Carl Trosch, and Julie Frankel. Charlotte Myers headed Gamma Sigma Kappa, and Barbara Mitchell, Kalon, while Lou Trosch and Barbara Benson were the co-chairmen of CLEW. Seniors presided over A.W.S., Beta Beta Beta, Alpha Psi Omega, W.R.A.. Ministerial Association, and S.N.E.A. In the sports department, the track team won the PAC title and the W.V.I.A.C, the tennis team captured the W.V.I.A.C. championship and came in second in the PAC, and the basketball squad tied for second in the PAC. Thus, 1960-61 was a year in which we could take pride. It was climaxed by graduation and the receiving of the diplomas which symbolized four years of dreams, work, and fun. The future is uncertain, but the past will always remain in our hearts.

When they first came to school here, Seniors studying for comps Gus Devine still has time to play games. lK-«4 Dupie, our Sweet Tuxedo Girl. FROLICS no doubt they had a growing hatred for the place, but as the years pass by. thev find themselves becoming more and more attached and very few- are annoved with the decision they made in choos- ing a college and in the friends that they met while thev were here, at their long-to-be-remembered Alma Mater. iii i Formal cnnvo els .Scnicirs all deckcil out.

A college senior once remarked to a Bell System inter- viewer: A telephone career must be a mirage. I hear talk about fabulous training, fascinating work, grade-A job se- curity, and rapid advancement in management. Sounds a bit too rosy. What ' s the real story? The interviewer knew mere talk wouldn ' t sell a skeptic. So he showed him some profiles of recent college graduates who Jiad enjoyed that fabulous training, had worked at intriguing jobs, and had won early management promotions. Our once-skeptical friend has been with the Bell System 3 years now — and is currently supervising the work of 55 other telephone people. We ' ve converted a host of Doubting Thomases. Whether doubtful or not, you ' ll learn a lot about rewarding telephone careers by talking with our interviewer when he visits your campus.
