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

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.

-. 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
