Text from Pages 1 - 230 of the 1962 volume:

THE o T N Bethany College Bethany, West Virginia FOREWORD In presenting the 1962 Bethanian to the students of Bethany College, we have sought not merely to chronicle the events of the year, but to capture the essential spirit of the College — the spirit which distinguishes Bethany from all other schools. If in the f uture this Bethanian recalls for you those qualities of sincerity and enthusiasm which were the dominant features of life at Bethany, it will mean that our selection of material was truly interpretive, and that our purpose has been success- fully accomplished.

Mr. Martin, himself a product of Bethany Col- lege, has taught his players to play the game fairly, win or lose. During his four years here as a student, Coach Martin set innumerable rec- ords on the basketball courts which to this day have not been broken. Likewise, during his coach- ing years here, his teams have followed suit. In the past two years, Bethany has had the honor of capturing three championships, one each in basketball. Cross Country, and Track. All three teams have been under the leadership of Coach Martin. While dedicated to athletics, Mr. Martin has not downgraded our academic standards, but on the contrary, has stressed that scholarship should be of prime interest to the athlete. We should be proud of our athletes, for their deportment, away from as well as on campus, as fitting for a Beth- anian. We dedicate this yearbook to you, Coach Mar- tin, because you have brought us something that we can be proud of. THE 1962 BETHA NIAN DEDICATION MR. HAROLD E. MARTIN, JR. IN MEMORIAM NANCY ASHCRAFT Nancy Ashcraft was devoted to her studies. Those who were acquainted with her realized that she was an extraordinary girl and a student in the actual sense of the word. Nancy graduated valedictorian of her high school class. During her two years at Bethany, Nancy ' s main interests were in the field of science, although she pur- sued all of her subjects with intense enthusiasm, and was consistently a Dean ' s List student. With her subtle sense of humor, her never-ending perseverance, and her ever-increasing knowledge of science, Nancy would have been successful in realizing her ambition — to become a prominent space physicist. Even though she will never be able to attain her de- sired position. Nancy Ashcraft will always be remem- bered by Bethany students, her memory challenging them to lead worthy, more productive lives. « « ' Efficiency and Competence ' ADMINISTRATION Any Bethany alumni of the last eight years will associate the name of Bethany College with Dr. Perry Epler Gresham. His contribution to the fields of literature, administration, and church re- lations have brought him into the limelight of state, national, and international affairs. Dr. Gresham, a versatile and personable presi- dent, embodies the ideals of Bethany College. No other Bethanian in recent years, has so absorbed the true spirit of the College, upholding the pre- cepts upon which this institution was founded. President Gresham has been universally honored. He was awarded a citation for his contributions to higher learning by Texas Christian University, and is at the present time President of the Inter- national Churches of Christ. In addition, he holds various degrees conferred upon him from schools throughout the country. DR. PERRY EPLER GRESHAM, President 10 MR. FRANK DUNN Assistant to the President Mr. Frank Dunn, Assistant to the President of Bethany College, has the intellectual and practical affairs back- ground that makes him a welcome addition to the ad- ministrative staff. Mr. Dunn ' s wide experience in politics and adminis- trative affairs well qualifies him to assume the important position of a presidential assistant. His chief duty is to represent our college in the absence of President Gresham. It is most fortunate for us to have Mr. Dunn as an integral part of our administration, and he has in a short time proved his value. MR. WARNER G.

It is his job to see that all accounts and payments are made and all responsibilities concerning financial affairs of our college are duly met. Mr. Peterson handles these duties most efficiently and effectively and is in part re- sponsible for the growth and present status of our school. Aside from his many functions as administrator, he manages to find time to coach a Conference winning Tennis Team, which won the West Virginia State Cham- pionship in 1961. His varied interests and capable planning have won him a place of regard at Bethany College. DR. DAVID F. ROSS, Ph.D. Dean of the Faculty MR. ROBERT A. SANDERCOX, B.D. Director of Admission and Alumni Relations MR. R. MONROE SELLERS, M.A. Dean of Students Dr. David F.

Through his firm and in- telligent leadership, Bethany continues to draw fine students. Mr. R. Monroe Sellers, Dean of Students, shows a great interest in the students and traditions of the college.

Krieger was the first unit tackle in his last two years of var- sity competition. Lettering for the fourth year, Schmidt worked at a tackle slot for Coach John J. Knight. Junior Halfback Lou Partazana suffered a twisted knee in the Thiel encounter and was forced out of action for the remainder of the year. Coach Knight praised Partazana for performing better and more con- sistently than any of his other backs during the past season.

Harrison, at 6 ' 3 , controlled the boards in most of the Bison encounters as he grabbed almost 18 rebounds per game. Making most of his shots in the area under the basket, he outjumped many opposing players for lay-ups and tip-ins. He was also able to drive and make baskets by outmaneuvering his opponents. Serving as playmaker for Bethany, Cipullo was ac- curate from any place on the floor. He was deadly with the right-hand push shot or jump shot and ex- celled at ball handling, driving, and leading the fast break. Senior Joe Kurey concluded his cage career at Beth- any while serving as team captain. Kurey was a steady and dependable performer who played forward or guard.

Henne served as co-captain and played the left field posi- tion. Batting in the clean-up position, Henne, in his fourth year as a starter, suffered a slump midway through the season but then regained last year ' s form in which he hit at a .330 clip.

I For the second consecutive year, the Sigma Nu ' s won the Intramural Championship. This year the competition was between the Sig ' s and the Ironmen, a group of unaffiliated men. The Ironmen made a strong bid during spring sports, winning the horseshoes and track tournaments. However, in order to win the over-all championship, they had to win the Softball league. In a close game, the Beta ' s outscored them and thereby ruined any chances the Ironmen had. Beta went on to become the Softball champs, staying undefeated in six games. Sigma Nu compiled the majority of its points by winning firsts in football, A and B league basketball, and seconds in the majority of the other sports. For the third year in a row, Sigma Nu also won the Varsity Participation Trophy for the best representation among the fraternities in varsity athletic competition. miii litn. a 172 The high jump event of the intramural track meet. - - Denny Raihall at bat in a Softball game vs. the sophomore team.

PANHELLENIC COUNCIL The Panhellenic Council is an organization composed of two representatives from each sorority. The main function of the group is to govern all doctrines concern- ing freshman women and to be in charge of all rushing rules. They also strive to maintain good inter-sorority relation on the campus. The Council begins the year with the annual Pan- hellenic Tea given for all new women students. This is followed bv coke parties and rush parties, with the girls attending the different sororitv houses in order to be- come better acquainted with the house and the girls in it. This is followed by Help Week for all pledges. The first order of business is the placing of the Greek letters on Greek Letter Hill overlooking the campus. The re- mainder of the week is of a more constructive nature, with the girls working not only in their own houses, but in the other sorority houses and in professors ' homes around town, cleaning, washing, and helping out where needed. 192 W£ - Cy P a lS r :- t  «? ?rt ,..o° ? - - 0c J tT , U iV v a QV M OO-A - v - .

Oldsmobile — Rambler 211 Galvanized Steel Look for the Steelmark when you buy When the STEELMARK appears on a product in a store, it means that the product is a good buy, that you will get your money ' s worth because it is made of steel produced in the United States by American men and women. It has become a symbol of a progressive industry. The STEELMARKS at right show the types of fine steel produced by men and women who work atWeirton Steel. These people have demonstrated their awareness of the relationship between the company ' s sales and their jobs. The security of their jobs de- pends upon the success of Weirton Steel in competing with foreign steels and other American products. The STEELMARK is helping Weir- ton Steel sell American steel. The people of Weirton, both company employees and other residents, are also helping the nation ' s economy when they look for the STEELMARK when they buy. WEIRTON STEEL COMPANY C.
