Greensboro College - Echo Yearbook (Greensboro, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 28 of the 1985 volume:

We are proud to offer the 1985 Greensboro College Seniors this small remembrance of their senior year. Although this is not the Echo you expected, we hope this will establish, in print, a record of your year. The contents include as many pictures of the seniors and events as we could find. Hopefully, each of you have your own special memories. In Memorandum H Dr. Kemper L. Callahan Dedicated, loyal, and devoted are all words that describe a wonder- ful professor and man. Dr. Callahan was a true teacher who cared for his profession and especially his students. His last message sent to the faculty and staff at GC said, May you appreciate, as I always have, the jo y of a new day born into the light on the song of a bird. ■ Dr. Yancey Ted Medlin Dr. Y.L. Medlin was an active staff person, counselor and friend to the Greensboro College community. Serving as Academic Dean at G.C. for many years. Dean Medlin did more than his share of respon- sibilities. Besides making the final decisions in Academic Affairs, he was once found behind the cafeteria counter serving the students and quite often seen conversing with the students because he cared. In the beginning of the 1983 Spring Semester, Dean Medlin became the Chairman of the Education Department, teaching several courses. During his class, one could see the humor and care in this man. One word describes Dr. Medlin— DEVOTED. Thank you Dr. Medlin! Greensboro College Campus Main Building James A.

The Greatest Year In GC Sports DIAC CHAMPIONS The GC Men ' s Tennis Team won it ' s first ever DIAC regular season and tournament championships. The Hor- nets posted a 9-6 overall record and 7-0 in the conference. The Hornets were ranked second in the region. Several players were also ranked regionally: Andy Bakas was 5 and Bryan Humphries 9 in singles and Andy and Bryan teamed to be the 4 doubles team. Several players received All Conference honors: Andy, Bryan, Steve Grimm, and Tom Blanno. Other team members included John Waugh, Eddie Smith, John Creech, and Jim Murray. WOMEN ' S TENNIS The GC Women ' s Tennis Team has continued to improve eachyearwiththisyearbeing one of the best. The Hornets ended the season with a 2-8 overall record. Several players had fine seasons with Captain Kim Melton receiving MVP honors. Members of the team included Debbie Shutt, Laurie Portzline, Tamara Swanson, Lee Hadlock, Maggie Michaelian, Beth Sweeley, and Sondra Christy. •£ W SOCCER Coach Jack Poland ' s soccer team ended their season with three consecutive wins. The Hornets defeated St. Andrews, Wingate and Piedmont Bible College to finish 5- 1 1 over and 1 -6 in the Dixie. The team showed vast improvement over its 0-9 campaign a year ago. The young Hornet team, starting ten freshmen, was competitive in every game they played, except two. Greensboro College played nationally-ranked N.C. Wesleyan and regionally-ranked Averett to 3-0 games. For many teams a 5-1 1 mark would beamajor disappointment; however, for the second year head coach, Poland, it was a major accomplishment. Without a doubt, the Hornet soccer program, is well on its way to reestablishing itself in the tough Dixie Conference. The Hornet ' s hard work was rewarded as several players received individual honors. Mike Thorn, a sweeperback from Syracuse, N. Y., was selected as Freshman of the Week in the Dixie Conference twice during the season. Tony Bowan, a freshman forward from Oxford, N.C, was also picked as Freshman of the Week. The Dixie Conference coaches picked Thorn and freshman Saulo Martinez from Deerfield Beach, Fla. to it ' s Honorable Mention All Conference Team. Thorn and Martinez were also selected to the All South Regional Team. Golf The GC Golf team finished the season in second place in the conference and placing 15th in the National Tournament. The Hornets had several top finishes, including 6th at the James Madison Invitational. 7th at the Maxward Elon Invitational and 5th at the District III Invitational. Two players received All-Conference Honors, Ricky Carter and Donnie Vanderbeck. The other members of the team were Bruce Stone, John Zurick, Kenny Smythe and Eric MacCluen. Spikers Post Third Consecutive Twenty Win Season The Greensboro College Volleyball Team was impressive again in 1984, winning twenty-three of thirty-five matches. Coach Jean Lojko ' s team was good enough to be ranked third in the South Region by the NCAA Division III. The Hornets finished third in the Dixie Conference race, behind UNC-G and St. Andrews. There were many highlights to the volleyball team ' s season. The team participated in the prestigious Juniata College Invitational and played the number one team in the nation (Juniata) in October. Elaine Penn, a senior from Madison, N.C., had an outstanding 1984 campaign. The 5 ' 3 setter was selected as the Dixie Conference Player of the Week twice. In addition, she was one of only six players to be named to the All- Tournament Team at the Juniata Tournament. Over 1 50 players participated in that tournament. Penn was also named All-Conference (First Team) and All-Tournament. Wendy Shope (Sanford, N.C.) was selected to the first team All-Conference squad for the second consecutive year. For the third consecutive year, Lisa Prillaman (Bassett, Va.), was named to the second team All- Conference squad. Lot ' s Of Firsts For Women ' s Basketball The GC Women ' s Basketball Team had their first winning season in the school ' s history with a 1 4- 1 overall record and a third place finish in the DIAC. The Hornets also defeated cross-town rival UNC-G 76-69 for the first time. The UNC-G win was tremendous for the Hornets because it exemplified where the program has come from and where it is headed. Several Hornet players recieved individual honors: Elaine Penn was voted Second Team All Conference, DIAC All Tournament, DIAC Player of the Week, and AWSF All American; Lorraine Orr received Second Team All Conference; DIAC Freshman of the Week (three times), and AWSF All American; and Donna Christy and Pam Benton received Hon- orable Mention All Conference. Coach Jean Lojko also receive DIAC Coach of the Year honors.

Ron Mikel ' s Hornets produced a 1 5 consecutive game winning streak resulting in their first ever appearance in the NCAA Division III national tournament. It was also the third longest winning streak in the nation and the first amoung Divi- sion III schools. After a nebulous beginning including a 62-59 overtime loss at home to North Carolina Wesleyan, the Hornets were facing a 5-6 overall record. Resting 1-2 in conference play, the Hornets looked like anyting but contenders for the DIAC championship. The shaky start may have defeated many teams, but the determined Hornets refused to bow out of the conference race. This talented, hard-working team com- bined well-executed, aggressive play with cool confidence to give Greensboro College supporters something to get excited about. The Hornets never lost again in the regular season and won the regular season conference title outright with a 12-2 record following a 65-63 defeat of neigh- bor rival UNC-Greensboro. Greensboro won the first two rounds of the DIAC tour- nament starting with a 78-77 win over Averett and then beating Christopher Newport 68-65 to advance to the finals. In an emotional four overtime game, said by many to be the greatest game in conference history, Greensboro College defeated St. Andrews 85-81 to secure the South Regional berth in the NCAA national tournament. The Hornets were derailed by Centre College of Ken- tucky 66-52 in the first round of the NCAA South Regionals hosted by Greensboro. The Greensboro Hor- nets came back the next night to drop fifth ranked Augsburg of Minnesota 83-69 to finish the 1984-1985 season with 21 wins, the most victories in the school ' s history. Steve Bowser and Marcus Keith were named First Team All Conference, and Calvin Hunt was named to the Second Team. Shannon Pulliam was voted the MVP of the DIAC Tournament. Coach Ron Mikels received DIAC Coach of the Year. tri National Awards a Make it BIG at our smal l college STEPHANIE PAUSELL (Lexington, KY) Stephanie received one of ten national internships funded by the National Conference of Christians and Jews. Because of the guidance of a challenging faculty and the support of the GC community, I feel well-equipped to continue participating in the process of learning and the struggle for a just world. ELAINE PENN (Madison, NC) Elaine was awarded the prestigious Olympia Award by the Southland Cor- poration. The award is presented to amateur athletes who excel in academics and athletics. Because Greensboro College is little in size, the stu- dent is able to receive a tremendous amount of individual instruction and guidance; thus, the student is assured an opportunity for achievement. Not only does Greensboro College portray a caring atmosphere from its faculty, staff, and student body, but is also pro- vides a substantial amount of activities for partici- pation. ROBERT STANLEY (Raleigh, NC) Robert was elec- ted one of two Student Directors of the National Educa- tion Association. Don ' t let the price tag fool you at GC. The Financial Aid Office will help you in everyway. You also have to look at the personal attention that you ' re getting at GC and realize that its worth the extra money. You cannot find a more caring faculty and staff to work with for four years. Presidential Inauguration One of the biggest events on campus was Dr. Likins ' inauguration. GC faculty, staff, students, and alumni along with invited members of all the colleges in North Carolina celebrated together. 1985 Homecoming sets a historical moment by selecting a King and Queen. ■cue 5sssi3 j i Iffifjji MF o •Si mU wV T V S I a Queen Mary Rainey gives flowers to King Kirk Rothrock.
