THE MEN's HALL WrTH THE NEWLY CoMPLETED SouTH Wr G

One of our buildings grew larger last summer. It all happened because our college is growing and one doesn't expect students just to camp on the campus. The merger of Bresee 'vith BethanyPeniel will open the way to further growth and create the need of exira housing facilities. In characteristic style , Bethany-Peniel College with the support of its loyal constituen c y is adding a third floor to Bud Robinson Hall this summer and making plans for Lhe erection of a new administration building in the near future.

FAITH OF OUR FATHERS

Faith of our fathers! living still, In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword; 0 how our hearts beat high with joy Whene' er we hear that glorious word Faith of our fathers! Holy faith!

We will be true to Thee till death!

Our fathers, chained in prisons dark, Were still in heart and conscience free; How sweet would be their children's fate, If they, like them, could die for Thee!

Faith of our fathers! we will love Both friend and foe in all our st rif e; And preach Thee, too, as love knows how, By kindly wo rds and vi rtuous lif e : Faith of onr fathers! Holy faith! We will be true to Thee till death!

His Message

The outstanding event of the year 1939-40 has been the merger with Bresee College at Hutchinson, Kansas. The history of Bethany-Peniel Co ll ege has been one of progress almost from the very start.

The st ud ents of Peniel College, Central Nazarene College, and Arkansas Holiness Co ll ege ha ve been received and assimilated into the fellowship of our institution. Bresee Co ll ege, r i ch in traditi ons and having done most honorable service, unites with our group at Bethany.

Every s tep i s being taken by the Board of Trustees, the administration, th e faculty and s tud en ts of Bethany-Peniel College to preserve th e best in Bresee and h er past and to hand it down to com in g generations I am s ur e we sha ll a ll join together in this worthy task.

B. M. HALL, A.B.

His Message

Th e very existence of Bethany-P enie l College and it s s uccesses attain ed as repr ese nted in this volume of the ARROW are properly attributed in a large part t o student bodies that ha ve assembled h ere year after year. The a sse mblin g of every g r o up for a year of study h as been a mo st si gnific ant fa c tor in the history of Be than yPeni el College and ha s pla ye d ju st a s sign ificant a part in th e building of this institution.

The contribution s made by th e student body of 1939-40, though not complet e at thi s writing, will evidently mak e an outstand in g chapt er in co ll ege building

It is to the consti tu e n cy of this in s tituti on and to it s many fri e nd s that we ar e acknowledging a debt of gratitude for the s ubstantial as si stan ce given in building Bethany-PenieL With the prevalent sp irit of cooperat ion on the part of all college unit s and the proven loyalty of our co n stituency, the future i s faced with courage and g reat expectancy for an ever-growing in s titution and its resultant expand ing serv ice.

From th e p o int of expenence, it s tand s that the Seniors should occupy th e Lop notch in school activities. But such things can not be taken for gra nt e d , and eve r y class must stand on th e bottom of its own tub.

Throughout its hi s tory in Bethan y -Peniel College, the class has experienced a s tead y g rowth in its attitude, abilities , and lea d er ship . From fi ery freshmen they passed throu g h th e mis chi evo us sophomore stage to be co me prominent as a Juni or class-distinguished by th eir perfect presentation of "The Trail of th e Lonesome Pine", and famed for their far-flung Lrip to Carlsbad Caverns. It was th ese same Juniors who gave th eir Freshman fri ends a s well party when the Sophomores s tood them up durin g Freshman week

Thi s year th ey climaxed th e ir co ll ege careers by ca pturing the crown in the horse shoe tournam ent-a distinction an y class would b e glad to claim. They presented "Wrecka ge" t o a packed hous e on a rainy night. The y broke all mileage reco rds for Senior trips with a tour to th e Pac ifi c Coast via Phoeni x, vi sitin g San Di ego, Los Angeles, Mt. Wilson Observatory, and returning via Boulder Dam and Grand Canyon. Th ey left to the school a gift that shall long stand as a memorial to their co ll egiate success. They are g raduatin g thi s yea r, supposedly to te rminat e their careers as students in Bethany-Peniel College. But we wonder how many will be unable to tak e it , and will co nsequently return for another degree and anything el se they can ge t.

In th e same analogy that c alls the Fr es hman th e infant of th e co ll ege famil y, th e Sophomo r e is imm e diat ely re cog nized to b e th e awkward a dol escent. The student emerging from his Fr es hman ye ar , durin g whi c h he ha s b een trodden in th e dust b y lordly upp erclassmen and h erded th rough hi s class a c tivities b y hi s l ong-suffering professors, fa ces th e many p erpl ex ities whi ch are in c ident to the pr ocess of l ea rnin g t o s tand on his own feet.

The first impul se of the Sop homor e i s to d o unto o th ers as was don e unto hi m, an impulse which finds exp r ess i o n in th e initiation of th e Fr es hman . This year's init i ation was co ndu c ted in a most unique ma nn e r , particularly wh e n th e zea l of a few exceeded th eir powers of discre tion . But th ey paid well for th e ir err or a nd "a goo d time was had by a ll "

Even adolescents grow up , and eve ntuall y th e Sophomores se ttl e d d ow n to make some distin g ui shin g records for them sel ves. Many of th eir number began to make th e thr ee -p oi nt li s t, and three of them rat e d membership in th e h on or soc i e ty They we r e represented on the inter -co ll egia t e d ebate tea m , pla ce d a member on th e all -sc h oo l basketball team, ca ptur ed the champion ship in th e men's s in gl es in tenni s, and h ad a Sop homor e on the winning d ouble s team in wom e n 's ten ni s

As th e yea r closes, th e So phomores seem to hav e adj u st e d th emse lves Lo th e ex tent that the y are qualifi e d co mp e tentl y to tak e th e pla ce of the Juniors. H encefor th they ca n be expected to wa lk in th e li g ht of our co ll ege motto : Chara c ter - Cu ltur eC hrist.

Perhaps the most difficult year of a student' s college life is his first. At least that has been the experience of the class of 1943 thus far-through many dangers , toils, and snares it has already come.

It started off with a riotous election which thoroughly astonished many hometown high school favorites come to college. Then, a group of people took over the plush-lined positions with a look of being equally as dazed as those who we re not elected Brainiest storm: giving Dr. Corlett his debut as a class sponsor.

Freshman Week (open season with no game refuge) followed close behind , and Frosh and Sophomores alike learned that enough ' s enough. From then on through the year the cooperative class spirit displayed by the Freshmen was monumental.

The Frosh wrote more out-of-bounds pub licity letters, confused the largest number of people as to when Sunday school started, and had more class meetings than any other class.

In athletics, the basket-ball crown is set at a decidedly Freshman angle, and a good percentage of the all-school soft-ball team were Freshmen. The Freshmen are versatile. Athletics , quartet work, orchestra , dramatics , a cappella choir , gospel teams, debate, and even the theology department have all been influenced by the Freshmen at work. These achievements, and many less known, were reached, not by any person, or committee , but by the Freshman class They give promise of making history.

THE HEARTFELT DECLARATION OF THE 130 WEARY FRESHMEN OF BETHANY -PENIEL COLLEGE

by CATHERINE C UNNINGHAM

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for the Freshmen to assume among the powers of the campus, the exalted and profound status of Sophomore, to which the Laws of the College, the Board of Trustees , and the Freshman English Course entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of th eir Parents and Upper Classmen requires that they should declare the causes which entitle them to the promotion.

We hold these Truths to be self -evident: that all Freshmen are enrolled equally; that they are endowed by the Dean with cer tain inalienable Rights; that among these are Life; Liberty until 10:30 on Friday and Saturday nights, and the Pursuit of Knowledge, Dates, and a 1.00 Average.

The history of the pres ent upper classmen and faculty is one of repeated in juries and usurpations , all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyrann y over the Freshmen.

We, th er efore, the Freshman Class of 1940, having clone th e best we can with the brains we have, do solemnly publish and declare that we are, and of Right ought to be (af ter we have passed our Semester Exams), Free and Independent Upper Classmen, having full power to look down upon next year's freshmen as befits their mean and lowly position.

Signed, We the Feeble

- Apologies to Thomas Jefferson.

A DAY

A new and a better day is before us. The merger with Bresee College , being consummated at this time, promises to be another step in the progress and enlargement of Bethany-Peniel College. It is one that will strengthen our standing among our Nazarene colleges and place us in a better position among the leading institutions of learning throughout the Southwest.

We are justly proud of the history of the past. Many recall with pleasure the moving of Beulah Heights College to Bethany in 1909 and the changing of the name to Oklahoma Holiness College. In 1920 another advance step was made by the merger with Peniel College of Peniel, Texas. Shortly following this, our present name of Bethany-Peniel College was adopted. In 1929 yet another very happy union took place with Central Nazarene Academy of Hamlin, Texas. Then a year later Arkansas Holiness Academy of Vilonia, Arkansas, united with the college.

Each of these additions in turn played an important part in building a larger and stronger institution for our West Central Educational Zone. Today, with the coming of Bresee College into this happy fellowship of schools, we are in a position to serve our entire constituency in a larger way.

It is with unusual pleasure that we look forward to the coming school year. As pastor of the college church, it is my happy privilege to extend words of greeting and welcome to all who shall be with us as members of the faculty and student body. We want you to join us in making the year outstanding in every way for Christ and the church.

REV. H. B MACRORY

Men's Gospel Team

Organized to promote the spiritual life of the s tud ent body and to afford opportunities for Christian service , the Men 's Gospel Team during its history has made a con tribution of timeless worth to th e general welfare of the college. It meets each Thursday evening for an in spiring devotional period usually characterized by enthusiasm and freedom of spirit. At these meetings , a brief message is brought by one of the studen t preachers. The membership , however, is not limited to pr eac her s, many la y students participating active ly in the f un ctio n s of th e group.

Under the lead ership of Clyde Owensby and th e helpful co un sel of the sponsor, Dr. Corlett, the team this year has soug ht to expand opportuni· ties for service on the camp u s and in nearby chur che s

Women's Gospel Team

The sole purpose of the Women ' s Gospel Team is to promote the devotional life of the young women in th e co lleg e. Regular meetings have been held each Thursday evening under the leadership of Augusta Terry. Besides holding th ese weekly meetings , the young women assist in religious services in nearby churches, sponsor prayer meetings during the revivals, and visit those who are unable to attend church. The sponsor , Mrs. Alice Crill, has been very ent hu siastic in promoting the activities of th e organization.

During the year the gospel team suffered the loss of one of its most active members, Florrie wheeler. Because of her sterlin g chara c ter and devotion to Christian service, this group ha s been named lhe \Vheeler Gospel Team.

The Mi nisterial Associat ion

The Ministerial Association i s not an organized group , s in ce the two gospel teams perform th e functions one would ordinarily expec t of such a group. But for a numb er of ye ar s it ha s b ee n a c u s tom t o picture in a group a ll of the s tud en ts and facu l ty members who are ca ll e d to definite religious work. There i s an unu s ual bond whi ch ti es thi s gro up to geth er in sp irit , and it would be unr eprese ntati ve not to give th em a place in our a nnual. During th e Aycock L ec tur es an af ternoon sess i o n i s h eld for th e spec ial benefit of this g r o up of Christian workers , at whi ch tim e s u ccessf ul men of experien ce pass o n t o th em practical sugges t i ons re l ating t o Christian serv i ce.

Prayer and Fasting League

Each Friday noon Room Sl03 becomes a retreat for a group of from thirty to forty studen ts and faculty members who forego the noon meal to meet in prayer. This year the group has been under the leadership of Audrey Edwards, who says, "During the hour when the group is meeting, burdens are prayed or praised away_ Some have suggested that the group be ca lled the Prayer and Feasting League, and that would b e quite appropriate , for Christ is always there_ His presence means spiritua l food_"

The contribu tion made t o spiri tual lif e o n the c ampu s by this organization is invaluable_ During revival meetings it is of spec ial helpfulness with the prayer meetings it sponsors_

AYCOCK LECTURES

Among the many helpful and intere s ting occasions of the school yea r at BethanyPeniel College , none are more valuable than the Aycock Lectures. Twice each year leaders in Christian service and prominent men in th e Church of th e Nazarene brin g to th e college, and more particularl y to the ministerial students , messages c on ce rnin g th e doctrin es and basi c principles of the church. Lesson s in th e va riou s phas es of Christian work gained from years of experience and observation are in thi s way made available to the students by the lecturers. Two sessions are held dail y, th e morning messages being of an inspirational nature and the afternoon messag es directed to· ward doing efficient Christian work.

The Aycock Le c tures were founded s1x ye ar s ago by Reverend Jan e tte Aycock, nationall y known evangelist in the Church of the Naz arene , who i s vitally intereste d in yo uth , especially those preparing for Christian service. Since the b eg inning o f th e lecture series, Rev. I. C. Mathis and Rev. Mack Anderson have also assisted in providing the speakers, and this year Rev. Whitcomb Harding assisted the Rev. Mr. Aycock.

The fall lectures were conducted b y Re v. Holland London , superintendent of the Arkansas district , who had just returned from the N ational Youth Conference in Holland. Before re ce iving his present position he was a nationally known evangelist and is the author of several books , the most important of which is "Pentecostal Possi· bilities of Youth."

The second semester series brought to the college Dr. James B. Chapman, General Superintendent of the Church of the Naz arene, former editor of " The H e rald of Holi· ness," and a former pastor of the local church. Dr. Chapman delighted the s tudent s with his broad field of knowledge and his abilit y to present deep truths in a simple manner. His afternoon lectures to Christian workers were full of practical instruction s and inspiring examples of service.

Two hi g hli ght s of th e school year which hold much interest for the st ud ents of Bethany-Peniel College are th e spring and fall revivals. Anxious to see a great reviva l, many of th e students gathered in prayer meetings for days preceding the meeting, so that a spiri tual zeal prevailed on th e campus when th e evange li st arrived.

The revivals of this year helped the sc hool imm easurab ly. Ideals were lifted; spiri tu alit y intensified; and almost th e entire student body were aligned on the side of God.

Rev Jarrette and Dell Aycock co ndu cted the first semester revival in a manner that met the requ ir emen ts of every s tandard of measurement. Rev. Mr. Aycock represented the finest type of Christian scho l arship combined with spiritual power and compass ion . His philosophy of religion unf olded to hi s audience an appeal to achieve a we ll-round ed , balanced, Christian character. The afternoon forum discuss i ons conducted among Christian workers we r e of great benefit to all who attended, as were a lso Mrs . Aycock 's "List en, Girls" talk s.

Rev Bona Fleming was the evangeli s t for the second semeste r revival. Outstanding for his unique illustrations and appeal, the Rev. Mr. F leming's messages were of grea t interest. Victory spread over th e camp us m an old-fash i oned revival and many st ud ents were definitely saved or sanctifie d .

RECITALS

Bethany-P eniel College Department of Fine Arts has presented an unusual group of individual recita ls this y ear.

The piano department presented five stud ents, the vo i ce department two , and the speech department two. In all re c itals , industr y and talent were evidenced in a marked degree.

With regard to these programs, specia l words of commendation sh ould be said for the w ork of A llin e Swann, head of the piano Gertrude Taylor, h ead of the speech departm ent , and Ches t er Crill , head of th e voice departm ent , as we ll as for the advan ce d students who assisted in th ese program s.

Fine Arts Programs

Hard upon the he els of c ulture follow the fin e arts. Thou g h b y no means synonymous, th e two are clos el y related , the latt er b e in g a chief contributing force to the former. In Bethany-P eni el Coll ege, along with character and Christian virtues, c ulture holds its place among th e objective aims of th e sc hool and the man y pha ses of fine arts are emphasized

The Fine Arts Hall is th e fr e quent scene of re c itals , dramati c produ c tion s, and mis cellan eo us fine arts pro g rams, and man y gather to enjoy and benefit from th ese presentations.

In th e realm of dramati cs th e r e were this ye ar three outstanding productions. U nd er th e dir ec tion of Prof. and Mrs. Delbert Gish , the Junior Class pres e nt ed Sidney Howard 's c omed y, " The Lat e Christopher Bean ," with Paul Corlett and Maxine Cha se in th e leading rol es. The Senior Class brou g ht a return pr ese ntation of Manner's famous pla y, "The \Vr ec ka ge," with Charles Smith in an exce ll ent c hara c ter ization of th e d ope. "Carro ts May Be Golden" wa s th e departm e ntal pla y und er th e direction of :IVIrs Gertrude Taylor with th e ass i s tanc e o f J oe Yar br o ug h.

Pictured in th e panel of degree s tud en ts on page seve nt y -one are tho se who , with th e assistance of o th ers from th e department, appeared in recita l s . Typical of su ch r ec itals wa s that of Charl es V/i lson, pictured on the opposite page. With Mr. Wilson appeared Crai g Blan chard with voca l se l ec ti on s and Joe Van Ars del with dr ama ti c readings. Acting as u sh er s at this recital were A li ce and M ar garet Stegall, Ada na Moore, and Laura Gra ce R ober ts .

Ou tstanding for th e hi gh quality of their performances , th e a cappe lla ch oir i s pictured voici n g the rousing stra in s of "Hall eluj ah! Wha t A SaYior" as th e fin a l e to one of their programs.

A Cappella Choir

The Bethany-Peniel College Choir was organized in the fall of 1939 by Chester c_ Crill, the present conductor. With this n e w choir, the a capella system displaced the traditional glee clubs. Since its beginning the choir has enjoyed a steady growth in popularity and appeaL

"A Cappella''-'unaccompanied'-is the term generally appli e d to chorus singing without instrum ental s upport_ But the real idea of the A Cappella choir transcends the import of the name: th e choir does n o t sing unac co mpanied- it accompanies itself.

According to Dr. Bain of Denton, Texas, it is undoubtedly true that the properly trained human voice is basically the supreme musical instrument_ In point of mere tonal quality , it is the warm and vibrantly living original which is to be imitate d but never fully equaled. It remained , then , for th e A Cappella organization to combine and harmonize individual voices of all grades and shades of tonal quality into one incomparable instrument. Ea ch voice is ca pable in itself of entire scales and va r ying shades of meaning. Also, be ca use the entire choir is swayed not alone by the hand of the dire c tor but by an emo tional "esprit d e co rps" co mpellingl y human , it is small wonder that A Cappella renditions of familiar music are unpr ece dented in the fr es hness and richnes s of their moving qualities Th e choir no more n ee ds accompaniment than does the organ itself. It is its own accompaniment.

To the above unique characteristics may b e added, in the singing of the Bethan y -Peniel College Choir, the o utstanding factor of earnest spiritual interpretation . Beca use the members of the choir are ge nuin el y Christian, the church choir music of which their program is composed is not merely an aggreg ation of words and music - it is an expression of spiritual truth in whi ch the singers believe. Th e selections, th e refore , co me from the heart-" with the spirit and with the understandin g also."

This ye ar two tours ar e being planned , with appearances in various high school, church , and c ity auditoriums. Th e first tour will be made in April through Arkansas, Louisiana , Texas , and Oklahoma , and th e second in May through Missouri , Kansas, and Ne braska. Arrangements are also being made for the appearance of the choir at the General Assembly of the Church of the Nazarene to be held in Oklahoma City in Jun e.

The Student Council this ye ar has so ught to maintain and perpetuate the high ideals for which the college has been ju st ly proud and to promote th e common interests and genera l welfare of our co llege commun ity. In carrying out such a program, we ha ve centered our activities in developing a co ntributing and cooperating attitude, seeking to strenghten the feelings of individual responsibility. We feel that our program has been aggressive and helpful. We are particularly pleased with the s uc cess of the publicity campaign and expect it to become an an· nual feature.

I ha ve appreciated a great deal the opportunity of working with the Student Council this year in their man y fine endeavors. Their unselfish effor ts to give to the students of our co llege a clean, constructive, and helpful student activity program has been most impre ssive to me.

American Universities and Colleges

Bethany-Peniel College is permitted to select from the junior and senior classes each year six students to represent the school in the pub l ication. The specified basis for selec tion is scholarship , character, leadership in extra-curricular ac tivi t ies , and the possibi lit y of future usefulness to busine ss and society. To th ese requirement s our own co ll ege has added another - that of spirituality and Chri stian service.

"The Reveill e E c ho ," published bi-weekl y b y th e s tudents of B e than y -Penie l College, ha s endeavored this year to pr esent a clear picture of stud e nt activities and to express and mold s tud ent opinion. It ha s been ve rsatil e in its inclu sio n of all phases of the co ll ege as an institution. Cuts picturing co ll ege lif e ha ve been an outstanding asset to th e pap er this ye ar , for news throu g h th e medium of pictures i s as effec ti ve a s throu gh th e printe d word.

Th e Student Forum was established as a feature of " Th e R eve ill e Echo" that s tudent s int erested in curr ent campus issues mi ght express their opinion to th e editor. Through membership in a co operative poll of college newspapers in the U nited States, our paper ha s receiv e d th e opinion of American co ll ege yo uth on i ss ues of soc ial , economic, and politi ca l conce rn. We, in addition, have co ntributed our opinion on th e qu es tion s of the poll.

"The R eve ille Echo" has attempted to give the st udent s, fac ult y, and alumni a com ple te coverage of new s events in a journalisti c manner. The prevailing atmosphere of o ur co lle ge-scholarship , sportsmanship, friendship, and spiritualit y-has b ee n upheld in every issue.

With the h elp of the excellent staff and fa c ult y sponsor, I have enjoyed editing " The Rev e ille E c ho" this yea r. We were glad to give our time and effort to publish the paper , and we s incerel y hope yo u liked it.

To get tog e ther a few pi c tur es and sc ribbl e a few lines is co mparati vel y easy; but to publish a yea rbook worthy and representative of Bethany -Peniel College is a difficult task. There is a spirit , an atmosphere , and a beauty about the campus that ca nnot be full y represented b y engraved pictures and co ld type, particularly when even these means are limited. Despite these limitations , it has been our constant objective to preserve faithfull y the memories of the ye ar.

I want to ca ll yo ur attention to the staff on th e opposite page. Tradition has it that a staff never do es anything; but I ris e to object on the basis that I know of one exception. The staff of 1940 was eager and d epe ndabl e, few in number but definite in responsibility.

We have sought to fill the book with inter es tin g detail worthy of careful study, knowing that such detail will recall more vividly the pleasant experiences of the yea r. We have tried to make the book modern in design and content. \Ve know , however, that in a very short time it will have become old -fashioned - an odd-looking sort of thing that time comes, lau gh if you will at its strange app ea ran ce but r emember that in its time it did its best to r ep r ese nt the Bethan y -Peni el co ll ege which gave it birth.

Sigma Theta Phi

In the second semester of 1938-39 an honor society was organized for the purpose of stimulating interest in high scholastic achievement and uniting for social and cultural advantages all students who exhibit marked ability in their studies. Through the efforts of the Student Council tentative rules for membership were drawn up and the following charter members were selected: Lawrence Fish, Edward Gilbert, Virginia Groff, Glenn Hicks, Juanita Haley, Samuel House, Lewis Ingle, Margaret Kirby, Evelyn Littrell, Bobbie Merrill, Paul Moore, Clyde Owensby, Dorothy Voigt, and Margaret Wiman.

Early in the present year the society perfected a more permanent organization, selecting for a name Sigma Theta Phi. New members are received into the society each semester. Membership is conditioned upon the attainment of an average of at least 2.50 grade points for all work completed in two consecutive semesters_ (This necessitates that one have an average equivalent to half-way between the grades A and B.)

At present, under the leadership of Bobbie Merrill, president, Sigma Theta Phi is taking the initiative in organizing a national honor society to include chapters in all senior Nazarene colleges. If the proposed national honor society can be established during the General Assembly of the church in June, the local society will have added prestige and usefulness in the years to come.

Pi c tured here in the left foreground is the college gymnasium housing indoor sports and athletic classes , while dire c tly behind stands the Fine Arts Hall. Along this popular span students are prone to wander and find freedom from the irksome yoke of class routine.

B Clubs

The B Club s cons titut e the centralizin g, directive force in th e ath letic program. Composed of th ose who hav e lettered in eith er basketball, track, or tennis, the organizations are not only the a dmini stra tive medium for intramural athletics but they stand also for th e id ea l in spor tsmanship, seeking to bring th e Christian spirit to the playground . Elevated as objec ti ves are the ideals of fair play, good 'viii, and clean fun. Not least among th eir contributions h as been the es tabli shm ent of an adequate merit system by wh i ch awards and recognitions are given to outstanding a thl etes

Now in th e si xth year of its organiza ti on, the men's club, und er th e l eadership of Alfred Su lli va n as president and D R. Gish as sponsor, has been eff i ciently active in promoting an unu sua ll y good athletic program this year.

The women's club has been organ iz ed only two years but under the guidance of Mrs. Alice Crill, it has already brou gh t women's athletics to th e front. The president this year was Joy Eagan.

He's there to razz the pitcher. He's there to boo the umpire. He's there to hound the batter. He 's there to irritate the coach. He's there to irk the runner. He 's there for the initial pitch. He 's there for the final out. H e's there for the third·inning slump. He's there for the seventh-inning stretch. He's there to holl er. He's there to shout. He's there to push. He's there to pull. He's there to boost. He 's ther e to kno ck. He 's there to laugh. He's there to cry . He's there in wet weather. He 's th ere in dr y. He 's there all the time-anytime- and every time. He's the typi c al American guy. H e s the college softball fan.

All-School Softball

Softball stands unchallenged in the school where he is king. Each year this popular American figure brings recreation and entertainment to the students and faculty of Bethany-Peniel. This year was no exception and the king was crowned anew.

Getting away to a slow beginning but winding up in a blinding blaze of speed and power, the Junior nine rode high into the championship. Pushed hard from behind and hard on their heels was a fast Senior team, doped by pre-season critics to repeat and retain their title of the past season. Battling over a tie for the third position standing came a brave Freshman club to push an unsteady Sophomore nine into the ce llar with five victories and four defeats. Handicapped by a weak pitching staff, both these clubs were constantly on the defensive and rocked on their heels from the blasting barrage of the upper-classmen sluggers

As a merit for superior performance and ability a combined committee of judges was appointed and selected what is known as an all-school team. Miniature gold softballs were presented to each of the following for his berth on the team: Paul Corlett, Junior; Russell Anderson, Senior; Frank Keesee , Senior; Milford Sadowsky, Senior; Junior Moore, Sophomore; Alfred Sullivan, Senior; Milton Parrish, Freshman; Robert Corley, Freshman; Marvin Stockett, Junior; and Charles Smith, Senior.

All-School Basketball

The basketball season for 1939-40 featured four evenly-matched teams as the y romped through their schedule on the hardwood. Class loyalty and a keen spirit of rivalry among the players resulted in many hard-fought and closely-contested battles which made the gymnasium resound with lusty cheers from the spectators.

Under the able supervision of the athletic director , Professor D. R. Gish, and the B Club , the games were run off on due schedule. Intense competition among the classes was responsible for unusually large crowds at all performances.

A flashy junior team seemed to be the boys to watch, but with the experience of one defeat under their belts, the freshmen launched a winning streak that was not halted for the remainder of the season. When the final statistics had been drawn up, the sophomores occupied the cellar position , with the juniors and seniors in a deadlock for second place.

After the season's finale the "B " Club with the class representatives elected eight men to comprise the All-School Basketball team. The qualifications for these positions were based on sportsmanship, team work , and actual performance on the court. Those receiving this distinction were as follows: seniors , Charles Smith, Russell Anderson, Alfred Sullivan ; juniors, Marvin Stockett and Daniel Yarbrough; sophomore, Richard Littrell; freshmen, Glen Newsom and Cozzens.

Track Meet 1940

Bethany-Peniel College track meet is sti ll a young institution, but it is a growing one Ski ll and speed ha ve steadi ly increased over a period of more than a dozen years. In that time we have seen th e record for the shot put raised to 47' 10", the time for the 100-yard dash has been l owered to 10. 3", and the distance in the broad jump extended to 20' 1/2 "· For a number of years th ere ha ve been occasional increases in the heights of the pole vau lt and of the high jump, as well as reductions in the times of the 1-mile, 2-mile , and half mile runs. The present marks of 52.5" for the 440 -yard dash, and of 22 .2" for th e 220-yard dash wi ll probably stand for this year at least, but there is th e possibility of new records in the hammer th row, the pole vault, the broad jump, th e discus, and the 880 -ya rd run. It is possible the time for the mile run wi ll be brought below the five-minute mark for the first time in the history of our co ll ege meet. Raymond Hantla should better th e old mark for the hamm er thr ow, Milford Sadowsky and Russell Anderson will be pushed by the freshman vau lters, and either may surpass th e mark of 10' 10" made in 1937 by Sadowsky. Charles Smith of the seniors shou ld top the old distance of 106 ' 2" in the discus th row; Wayne Sears may excel his old mark in th e broad jump , and Ellis Gi lbr eath of the sophomores may reduce his own time of 2' 17 .5 " in the half-mile run. With good wea th er and track conditions, these predictions shou ld hardly fail to be rea li zed.

For the first time this year, Bethany-Peniel College wi ll have the 120-yard high hurdles and the 440-yard l ow hurdles. These events will add considerab le competitive interest to the meet and will fill the vacancy left by th e javelin throw , which was omitted because of the danger to spectators.

The old grads are jealously watching the marks they made in former years, but the fledglings are rapid l y learning to fly. On Apri l 19 we sha ll see what a day ca n bring forth.

-D. R Gish

New champions were crowned in each division this year. The former title-holders found the competition too keen and were not able to repeaL Much interest was shown and many exciting matches were played.

Roy Parks defeated the former title -holder, Allen Miller, for the singles crown. He was of a bombastic type, combining a driving fore-hand with a sound net game that raised him to the highest pinnacle this year.

Alfred Sullivan and Daniel Yarbrough teamed up to capture the doubles title, vacated by the graduating champions of last year_ This duo was not flashy but played consistently good tennis at all times.

Juretta Lovejoy defeated the former champion, Laura Grace Roberts, to keep the title in the freshman class_ Miss Lovejoy combined a hard service with strong ability in placing shots.

Laura Grace Roberts , a member of last year's winning doubles duo, teamed with Rhoda Spruce to capture the doubles title. They made a well balanced pair and were very superior to their competition.
