.. 01 ' Theme Introduction Finally, a captive audience, sighs Bob Coffield I wished to live . . . deliberately. — Thoreau Theme Introduction A Good Life I went to the woods, says Thoreau, because I wished to live deliberately, This is the key to Bethany living. From the moment we enter as freshmen, we want to try everything. We experience every party, join too many clubs, and see one too many sunrises over long procrastinated term papers. This is the attitude for the Bethanian . . . one that allows us to live deliberately — to adapt to change and not hold back. Dr. Richard B. Kenney, long-loved professor of Religious Studies and Chairman of the Department, is a model for us all. Far beyond the sense of great loss, he has given us something very important. He loved life, and he has shown us to live for it oil. And we did in 1987. Opposite page, Harold Fortis, weary, calls for a time out in class. Top, Oh — this?

Theme Introduction A GOOD FACE Old Main stands prominently in the background as Oglebay Gates crumble down. Theme Introduction Spring of ' 86 brought the sounds of Oglebay Gates swinging shut for the lost time and the clanging of the bolts which would weld them together for the next year. For the class of ' 86 it meant the end of a tradition . . . they weren ' t able to march through the gates for Bac- calureate. Fall of ' 86 swept in the closing of an- other set of doors, with the onset of the Old Main Quadrangle renovations. Both the stairs to the Phillips Johnson Visual Arts Center and the back of Old Main were closed off, resulting in detours for all of us. Bethany Memorial Church lost its main en- tranceway and steps as well. It looked as if the church was being torn down, but it was yet an other renovation project. At f irst we grumbled about all the refur- bishing and the looks of the campus, but we hod to trust that Bethany ' s facelift would speak for itself, once completed. Slowly, day by day, with the signs of spring, improvements became visible. Seniors had hopes of marching through the gates. Old Main Quad was relands- caped with shrubs and walkways re- paved and the church steps were com- pleted. Just as sculpters unveil their work, Bethanions experienced the new facelift, growing together toward a new attitude ... of appreciation. Oglebay gates were finally opened in early March but only to thie workmen reconstructing ttiem in time for ttie seniors. Decorating closed gates witti frestimon enthusiasm are Gina Mediate and Debby Finfrock. Theme Introduction FACE IIP. X X Harry Balk absorbed in Buying the Night Flight , a bool by a favorite author of his. Georgie Ann Geyer. The new computers are a definite asset in helping Mitch Barnes with an advertising creativity project. Walking from class outside Old Main, Paula Robinson and Pattye Kubina are surprised by a photographer. Theme Introduction Photocopied notes are the next best thing to being there for Deidre Thiele as she studies for a test. L ooking up to a renewed sense of excellence is a description of ttie 1986-87 ocodennic year in Bethiony. With the arrival of the class of 1990, marl ing the 150th commencement of the college, Bethanians strived for academic and athletic achievement. President Dullard ' s Second Century Capital Cam- paign was iniciated and was an inspiration to us to face the next hundred years with the ongoing dedi- cation exemplified in our enthusiastic attitude. Bethany hosted divisional playoffs in soccer; don- ated the most blood for a college of its size during the fall blood drive; sponsored various speakers on drug and alcohol abuse and received new comput- ers for the communication department. WVBC ' s programming was geared toward a larger audi- ence; TVS introduced new programs; the Origins courses were expanded and students selected their first woman S.B.O.G. president. We remembered the special years with Dr. Rich- ard Kenny and Dean Cobb, while setting our sites on what we could do for the Bethany of tomorrow, determined that nothing ' s gonna stop us now! Spring weather doesn ' t limit studying to the classroom for Bryan Baker. . TO EXCELLENCE Theme Introduction CATCH THE SPIRIT Football cheerleaders ' perfect formation rallies Bethany fans. Sunlight is motivation to study for Freshman Dana Braun. Bear in mind that togas are in style for Alison Jur- om ' s hall during Spirit Week. Theme Introduction Sophomores showing their green and white are John Hauber and Matt Per- kins, B ethany has always had pride, involvement and enthusi- asm. This year, these attitudes are more openly ex- pressed, The compact, major renovations around campus, and modernization of media facilities and dorms ex- press physical change. At the same time, we remember that it is people who make the difference. The excitement of the NCAA men ' s soccer playoff, hearing all radios tuned to the game on WVBC gave us a unified feeling. Involvement rallied our Freshmen for Spirit Week and helped us adjust to new policies, great new attitudell! The bottom Alpha Sig pride shows in Gary Mui- hern and Tim Vittorio.

Classes were drawing to an end, especially for those of us who took comps in May. Senior women were hon- ored at the annual May Morning Breakfast. Lt. Donald Dominic Ross complet- ed his military training, as well as his college career. Dr. Nelson congratulates Cory Henne- man after commencement. Senior class president, Dave Boogar Mal- lino after receiving his diploma All of a sudden It was May 1st! Where hod the last semester gone, or for that matter the past four years? There was a last minute rush to make sure we had completed all of our graduation requirements and then we could finaliy relax. With each passing day we watched the progress of the gates but the tradition continued for the class of 87, we were able to march through the half-finished gates ... a time of new begin- nings, a time to rejoice!

Founders, Doug DeWitt, Jen Kottler, Curt Neel and Sandy Tunanidas organized this idea which resulted in the Academic dorm. It was es- tablished in the fall of 1986 as an alternative to the campus housing situation. We all put great efforts into improving the house which was in bad condition. Carpets were redone, walls painted, the patio fixed up and plants hung for a homey atmosphere. Some social get togethers included a faculty tea and Christmas party. Under a contract of self-government, we agreed to extend quiet hours and set rules con- cerning parties. We would like to thank the faculty and administration for their support.

At the beginning of the 1986-87 year, social life at Bethany wasn ' t exactly what we had re- menribered it to be. Greel houses were concerned about the limitation on parties that could be registered, Many students were packing for home on the weekends due to the drinking policy. It was time to take on a new attitude, and we did! Housing units had non-alcoholic parties, took greater interest in intramurals, and planned other types of activities. Inde- pendents learned to live under the same roof as Greeks. A co-ed housing unit got a chance to prove its success to the adminis- tration, and renovations were made in Morion, Campbell and Heritage. Maybe there weren ' t as many parties, and more fines given out, but the housing units, which contribute to our social life, adapted and the fun never ended. 64 Candids Housing J Those fashionable Phi Mu seniors J cheer to Mother Earth on bid day, KD, Alpha Xi, Phi Mu, Zeta come - ' together as one.

Other productions during the year included Androcles and The Lion, Antigone, The Long Christmas Dinner, Every- man, and Once Upon A Mattress. The traditional one acts also began the second semester.

Spring Weekend Events 75 f ' }. - A Spring Toast M ay Morning Breakfast once again gave the women of Bethany College good company, good food, and good service. This year at the 40th Annual breakfast honoring the senior women, Sandy Solomon of Solomon Associates in Pittsburgh, spoke. She convinced the women of today that things ore definitely differ- ent, and these changes give women a definite advantage. Ms, Solo- man discussed the positive and negative aspects of being a superwo- man, giving everyone a lift when she completed her speech. After listening to Ms. Solomon speak, we were more informed and more self-confident about our futures as career women as well as mothers, said Ponhellenic president Amy Zobrucky. So far that solves good company and good food, but what about good service? To answer that, those handsome men of Bethany pro- vided pampering for every whim. Don Darragh added musical accom- ponyment on the piano. The breakfast also included the debut of the Aleece C. Gresham award for the most involved senior woman. The award, which will now be given annually by the Ponhellenic Council, was presented to Dede Rogers and Cory Hennemon. r ' •«:l- Jamie Hamm cautiously serves breakfast to a ta- ble of young women. 76 May Morning Breakfast Events ' ' After listening to iVIs.

They succeeded in captur- ing the P.A.C. championship by detecting CMU. The Bison defeated Christopher-New- port in the first round of the NCAA regionals which were held at Rine Field in Bethany. Be- cause of this win, they advanced to the semi-finals against the University of North Carolina Greensboro at Greensboro, N.C. They lost a close contest by a score of 2-3. Although everyone put forth 110% effort, Greensboro proved to be the better team. The team had several members that earned conference honors: Harold Fortis — All P.A.C. midfielder; Graeme Tanner — All P.A.C. midfielder. All American; Kosmos Mouratidis — All P.A.C. midfielder. All Ameri- can; Gunther Schuhmonn — All P.A.C. de- fensive bock; Milo Orsini — Honorable men- tion defense.

The beginning of the season looked promising but the Bison took a heartbreaking loss to Capital in the opening contest. Hampered by numerous injuries, the team did not cap- ture a win until Parent ' s Weekend when they beat Thiel with conviction. They could not continue winning though, and lost their final home game against CMU by a dissatisfying score of 24-17. The Bison team did produce some out- standing athletes with many team members selected to various honors from the P.A.C. These players included: Tony Perella and Mike Belardia — 1st team All P.A.C; Curt Neel, Doug Marshall, Bob Peters and Don Vandeborne — 2nd team All P.A.C; Tracey Finchum and Jim Stokes — Honorable Men- tion.

Football Sports 97 Field Hockey The women ' s Field Hockey team pulled off another victorious season. They had a rough road ahead of them, but they worked to- gether and came through the season shin- ing. With this unity they captured the presti- gious P.A.C. title with a winning record of 6- 0. Their overall record was 12-4-1. The game against the Division II team of Slippery Rock University proved to be the victory that wound up the season for wom- en ' s Field Hockey. No goal was scored until the end of the first half, when junior, Jenny Gruesser, put in a shot with a straight, offen- sive corner shot. The Bison held the Slippery Rock team off until they were able to score a goal during the second half. The game went into a ten minute overtime period. The final score of the game was 2-1. Despite having the same record as last year, we hove improved tremendously. Even though we lost to the same nationally ranked teams as we did last year, the scores were much closer this season. — Captain Beth Thomas. R1: P, Pertz.

The most memorable game was the Carlow College Tournament. They finished in third place in the tournament and this result gave them the confidence they needed to be a win- ning team with a final record of 22-19. Coach Campanell commented on the season, The team has improved 100% this year; from being last in the conference last year, to being tied for third this year.

As Jen Masters stated, Our newest members added much strength and helped to carry our team.

Even though the team was fairly inex- perienced, both Kevin Desharnais and Moni- que Rambo took 12th place overall. Coach McGowon summed up his ideas on his team ' s performance, It was a good year because we hod a young team which will form the nucleus to which we will build our team around in the future.

With an impressive compilation of ten wins, two losses, and one tie, the girls aspired to be- come a varsity team, but they were denied and remained a club team and had their finest season since the club was initiated. Behind captains Tami Taylor, Kelly Stoner, and Renee Fornodel and faculty adviser John Cunningham, the team practiced daily and defeated some of the finest area teams most of which were varsity. Also notable for the season, the team adopted a campaign to become a varsity team and it was termed, Quest for Goal, This quest finally became a reality in April, when the adminis- tration gave women ' s soccer varsity status.

Co-captains Bob Bek and Harold Fortis led the team against West Liberty, WVU, and Wheeling Men ' s teams. According to Paul Huston, the season went very well, with the obtaining of a 7-4-1 record. The year consisted of much enthusiasm and support and dedication due to the fact that practices consisted of a drive to Wheel- ing Park Rink. The 17 members, though missing the sup- port they would have seen hod they held practices closer to home, showed a real de- sire to play.

Men ' s Basketball T he Bison Basketball team charged through for a successful season. Improving on last season ' s record, the song Lean on Me increased the pride and spirit of the team. Playing in o unified manner, the team endured through numerous practices and the January doldrumo where crowd support dwindled. Many individuals for the team played in an outstanding way and dedicated them- selves to the team. Senior captain Scott Doak led the team with support while Ron Bozick, and Carl Allison, and Chris Pashke surged with a devastating offensive attack. Freshmen Brian Sims and Don McFarland also performed with style as they contributed markedly to the offensive and defensive as- pects of the game. From the final statistics for the season, Ron Bozick was the leading scorer with 16.6 points per game, Carl Allison had the highest field goal percentage — 49%, Joe Pustover hod the best free-throw percentage — 86%, Ron Bozick had the best 3-point goal percentage — 46%, Chris Pashke had the most rebounds — 141, Don McFarland had the most assists — 149, and Brian Sims had the most blocked shots — 25. Although they did not have a winning sea- son, all of the Bison contests were thrillers and the players entertained the crowd with their impressive abilities. Their last away game against CMU proved to be a difficult defeat for they overcame a deficit of 15 points in the fourth quarter only to end the game by a loss of one point. This setback did not dampen their spirits, however, for they defeated Grove City in the final contest by a convincing margin. To sum up their season, cheerleader Chris Schwartzel stated, They were very unified, always worked hard, and appreciated all of the crowd ' s support and enthusiasm.

Through the guidance and leadership of senior captains Bill Huff and Keith Roth, the entire team produced for new head coach Meyer and defeated many leaders in the PAC conference. About the improvement from last year, Dave Fry stated, Everything is much better — differ- ent — everyone is more knowledgeable about the game. The team also accomplished some long sought goals as they had o convincing win- ning streak of seven games and had their first sweep of a doubleheader away against PAC rival Hiram. As for outstanding players, John Aguiar led a tenacious defense, Tom Jingoli and Chris Rice come off the mound with winning records, and Mike Lucey, Bill Huff, and Mike Duplago led the team in home runs. Always striving for victory, the Bison showed their true talent during a double- header against Grove City. The Bison took a 4-0 lead in the fifth inning but Grove City made the score 4-6 in the bottom of the seventh inning. Bethany battled back, win- ning the game 8-6 in the final inning.

The result — a theme of A New Attitude — seemed to answer our questions about all the angles occurring at Beth- any. We also picked up innova- tive graphic and color ideas and some enthusiasm to do as great a book as two some- what priorly inexperienced edi- tors could do. September was here and we were already worried about deadlines. We hod a great re- sponse for staff positions — 60 people, thanks to advisor Ms. Elaine Baer who hod the orga- nizational and motivational skills to keep up on top of ev- erything. The first deadlines were rough, including several all- nighters, learning how to type at least 30 words per minute, and mastering mathematics skills for copy-fitting. The staff was run ragged at times, but always came through, — even people who weren ' t on staff contributed to the 5 am proof- ing parties. We soon realized that our original creative ideas were too big for the budget so we made some sacrifices rather than be in debt to Bethany for life. We have tried, in 168 pages. to capture a year ' s worth of feelings and attitudes. We find it hard to believe how the year flew by, but feel the book has helped us to see what Bethan- ians really share. Ms. Baer left for California and we were on our own — until Mr. Lesem offered to be advisor. His artistic and photo- graphic skills helped us out of many binds. Putting together a book that depicts Bethany campus life in a year is not an easy undertak- ing. We feel that we have summed up the New Atti- tude of Bethany this year.

FAC introduced the idea of a Spirit Week as on opportunity for the entire student body to have some fun and boost its spirit level for Homecoming Weekend. The Council deco- rated the campus, held a ban- ner contest, and threw a toga party in conjunction with dress- up days. By collecting a $10 fee from each freshman, FAC increased the size of its budget, greatly enabling it to plan more easily for the Spirit Week and regular activities such as Freshman Christmas Formal and Parents Weekend Talent Show.

While under Harry Balk ' s lead- ership, SBOG provided forums so that students could become more informed of opportunities for them and administration and officials could become aware of students ' wants and needs. Richard Pil e, manager of Aladdin Food Service, and President Todd Bullard were present at separate forums held after regular Monday night meetings to answer ques- tions. Students benefitted from SBOG ' s generosity when it paid admission price for all Bethany students who wished to attend the first round game of the NCCA Division III Soccer Cham- pionship. Corbett and Mines say they would like to build on the ac- complishment of the previous administration in order to lend continuity to the growth of the SBOG. They hope to hold bi- monthly forum series, bring top administrators to meetings and forums and place an SBOG in- formation board in the cafete- ria.

In the past, Bethany looked much different from what it is now. Mr. Cooey describes a Bethany in the sixties with no Benedum Commons, Morion or Harlan Hall, Phillips Library, or swimming pool, Richard- son Hall was in the process of being built, and a dormitory named Gateway Hall stood where the Commons park- ing lot is, Although Bethany has changed, he relates. there is still a strong tradi- tion in the liberal arts, Mr, Cooey, Doctors Allison, and Grimes speak of a Bethany with many rules and regula- tions. Men and women ate separately, the men in what is now Renner Union and the women in the basement of Phillips Hall. Men had to wear coats and ties to dinner. There were Saturday in- spections of rooms, curfews, required chapel services and convocations. With the departure of these customs went some productive things. Upon reflection. Dr. Grimes believes that learn- ing Bethany tradition (cent, next page) Feature Administration 143 They ' ve Been Here Before (cont) and songs, as well as eating separately by gender, cre- ated a common bond that is hard to find today. Mr. Taylor views Bethany as needing more character building opportunities. ' ' Each Greek house had well de- fined personalities, he says, and were more concerned with character molding. Among the Greek houses was a greater awareness that the house was judged by the way each individual behaved. Enriching faculty — student relationships are an essential to the Bethany experience. Professors often find that the student — teacher relationships goes beyond the four years. Another contributing aspect is the small-town community of Bethany itself. Nearly ev- ery professor agrees on this issue. The smallness of Beth- any fosters the student. Essentially, the new attitude Bethanians try to realize must incorporate the Beth- any tradition. Both Bethany and I have changed, says Dr. Davis, but Bedrock val- ues remain. If we ignore these values, we ignore what makes Bethany unique. Conversing with fellow alumnus is Dr. Allison, Drs.

It ' s a place with a warm atmosphere, filled with friendly people who are always willing to lend a hand. Head Librarian, Dr, Bar- ciauskas, can be consulted when looking for a work- study job or when trying to locate information in the li- brary. Mrs. Olshan and Mrs. Buckelew, reference librar- ians, will also help when there is difficulty locating a source. If something is need- ed that the library does not have, it can be obtained through inter-library loan by Mrs. Counselman. This often is not necessary, however, because the library is well- equipped. Besides having three floors lined with books, the library also houses an ex- tensive reference room, the Archives which is organized by Mrs. Shaver, and the Me- dia Center which is run by Mrs, Paull. On the top floor, there is one room that most people do not even know about — a small chapel. Mrs. I. Mr. J Counselman, Mrs, S, Buckelew, Mrs, A.

When students gra- duate with a major in chemistry, they have a thorough and practical education in chemistry which is useful in industrial, technical, and graduate work. The chem- istry program maintains the standards set by the American Chemical Society, Change aptly describes the Communica- tions department. Many changes have made Bethany ' s Comm. department one of the best to be found. Communications majors are often busy at one of the eight new Apple Macintosh computer termi- nals. The Tower staff used the Apples to write stories, taking advantage of easy editing and desktop publishing abilities. WVBC also acquired new equipment this year.

In their new headquarters in the Office of Career and Professional Development, Mr. Cooey and Davis adopted additional roles as career counselors. For the first time, a freshmen seminar was added to the department. The Entrepreneurial Spirit involved freshmen in the business curriculum, while adding on adventurous twist to the traditional fore. The Education department is designed to train students to be self-directed decision makers in the classroom. This is achieved by placing the student into on actual teaching position as soon as possible. This is also achieved by letting the student en- gage in self-evaluation and teach with his or her own teaching style. Education ma- jors are often hard to find around Beth- any, because they are so involved either with observing for Human Development or student teaching. E hk . Dr. A.

Aithough there is noth- ing new about comps, sen- iors have a new attitude to- wards them. Being an under- classman was easy; no worries of senior project, comps, and finding a job after graduation. But seniors have a new insight into one of the toughest graduation requirements. To most, hours of written ex- ams and an hour-long oral session seems criminal, but seniors realize comps are a fact, and those who have made it this far are deter- mined to face them. Wheth- er comps are taken in Janu- ary or May, they loom in the nightmares of seniors. Thou- sands of others hove faced comps and survived, and this mal es them feel better. All they have to do is stay locked in their rooms with piles of textbooks and notes. Comps are the time for sen- iors to recall past lessons. Al- though they will not die in the middle of an oral with the likes of Mr. Taylor, Drs.

Although its theatrical productions are highly visible, the depart- ment actively pursues excel- lence in many less visible, but equally important areas. Throughout each semester, members of the choir shar- pen their skills, while the string ensemble perfects its talent. Students of two — and three-dimensional art, as well as potters at the wheel, continue to express themselves. Performance also involves intense study and careful planning of each moment or detail that composes a production or a work. Each Bethany student has a part in actively shap- ing the art, guided by the departmental staff. The new emphasis on performance and hands-on experience gives the student the edge in bettering him or herself, and enriches the observer by exposing the innermost message of the student.

In the major, the student develops a knowledge and appreciation of the na- ture and uses of mathematics. The Philos- ophy department is small, but its size should not be interpreted as a sign of ina- dequacy. The curriculum for a philosophy major is based on recommendation from the American Philosophical Association. A philosopher does not suffer from the dis- advantages of overspecialization, thus employers are looking to philosophers for their ability to analyze situations from dif- ferent perspectives and choose the most workable solutions.

Kenney Out- standing Faculty Award is given to the professor whom the student body elects as representing the ideal quali- ties in in teaching at Beth- any, Mr. Allison says that he came . to Bethany partly due to his own schooling. He received a B.S. from Bethany College, a Masters at WVU and did graduate work at Texas Christian University. Beth- any ' s small size was an ap- pealing factor, as was the familiarity of the students to Allison. I lil e the college age-group, the environ- ment and the passing of knowledge, he said. It is for this unselfish desire to share an understanding of mathematics that students recognized and honored him with this special award. Congratulations Mr. Allison!

Feature 160 Administration Religious Studies Dr. R. Kenney, Head of Religion; Religion staff: Dr. H. Lester. The Religious Studies department does not teacin a particular point of view, it tielps the student in learning how to ac- quire, evaluate, and use religious knowl- edge. Religious Studies majors are given the chance to examine the relationship be- tween religion and culture, This can be done in courses such as the Religions of India, the Religions of China, and Islamic Civilization. A goal of the department is the personal integration of knowledge and faith for an understanding and ap- preciation of value systems. By majoring in sociology, one establishes a building block for professional work in education, law enforcement, and legal fields along with social service professions. While in the department, students learn the basic theories, research techniques, and applied practices in sociology. Social Work gives students professional compe- tence for various agencies, such as public welfare, day care, health core, prisons, schools, and community and institutional mental health. s Dr. L.

Wright, Mr, J. Giesmonn, Dr. G. Thompson. With all of the work that piles up over the years at Bethany, students tend to procrostinate about resumes and jobs until the last minute. Those who take advantage of The Office of Career and Pro- fessional Development early ore ahead of the ' Yat race, James Speegle, Executive Fellow of the Leadership Center, heads this office with Gwendolyn Allen, Coordinator of Placement Ser- vices and Campus Employment. Their objective is to help students in their job search, whether a career, summer internship or campus employ- ment. Prior to senior year, students turned to Fran Gior- dano, Coordinator of Counseling Services, for ad- vice regarding what fields to explore. Mr. Cooey and Mr. Davis, professors of the Eco- nomics dept., worked as motivators for this year ' s seniors to get those resumes done, This task is not easy.

Our small town has many lively characters whom we will associate with Bethany forever. These familiar faces can be seen day to day, contributing to the betterment of the college community and adding to the flavor of the town in general. Smiles and caring gestures are i proof of small town hospi- tality. When not busy keeping dorms clean, maids can be found watching tv with : students. Pogie, when not caring for the campus ' appearance, or raising the flag with patriotic en- thusiasm, devotes much time to fratenizing with students at Sigma Nu par- ties and to faithful work with the Catholic commu- nity. Also among favorite town figures is Pete, found al- most anywhere on cam- pus delivering mail. Pete Patterson may be shaky but that doesn ' t slow his pace for delivering campus mail. Pogie lends a tiand to a frosh seminar recalling some Bethany ghost stories. Mr. Ctiambers ' smile makes a P.O. trip worthwhile even it your box is empty.

We may complain about meals, but Aladdin per- sonalities shiow genuine concern for students, Mr, Pike boosts sucti favorites as special holiday dinners and exam snacks. It ' s all a part of the program, but catering to specific needs is evident in his meeting with S.B.O.G, Vi hich lead to the implementation of chocolate milk (o definite plus.) Pike can also be found at Drovers hanging out with the students, Linda Mosier, another Aladdin employee, also goes out of her way to bake cookies or send flowers to housing units for holidays. The joking and kidding seems to reflect the friendly spirit toward the student body — after all, the school is the town, is it not? The friendly talk con- tinues, stemming from Chambers ' and the Col- lege Inn ' s willingness to lend boxes and even wood for bunks right down to the bar, where Bubba and the Bison Inn crew provide the main haven for socializing.

The following excerpts from a letter writ te by Forrest H. Kirkpatrick two days before C Kenney ' s death, sum the feelings of Bethar ians quite simply, ... you will never leav Bethany. So much of you is there to stay o and on . . , Most of all, the good influenc that has passed from your life into the lives c hundreds of young men and young wome will be for each of them a continuing blessin . . . You shall never leave Bethany, and fc that we shall be forever grateful. ... wtiat Bettiany will be and will become will mostly depend on those few who reall care . . . on you who are here and on thos( who will surely follow after you. — Richard B.
