Text from Pages 1 - 166 of the 1985 volume:

The Highlander Baretta Casey, Editor Susan Huffman, Advisor l Title Page How Do You Spend Your m College life is only what you make it and Pikeville College students had their share of good times. Whether it be renting movies, sleigh riding down High Street or Kentucky Avenue, or participating in college-sponsored ac- tivities, week ends were always ac- tion-packed at PC. The college bill- board (top) announced upcoming ac- tivities (club meetings, S.G.A. officer elections. Convocations, Phonathon, etc.). Phi Eta Sigma (right) held its annual initiation in April, inducting 10 new members. Dr. Hall reviewed the agenda with chapter members. 2 Student Life SPECIAL COLLECTIONS ihkiiiriiffi LrBR Y- PIKFVILLE COLLEGe PIKEVILLE KY Come Alive in ' 85 was the theme for the Phonathon campaign. Dianna Abshire and Pam Michaels (top) called with other volunteers to secure support in reaching the $30,000 goal. The Spring Formal dance was held at the Landmark Inn in April. Laura Hall (bottom, left) requested a song from DJ Mark Harlowe. When spring finally ar- rived, students enjoyed the warm weather by spending time on the infamous Administration Building steps (bottom, right). Eddie Kelly, Dewey Jamerson and Sissy Scaggs wait- ed until the last possible minute before going to class. IP 3 Student Life n J % The best things in life aren ' t always fun at the time (like giving blood or tooting horns all night during basketball games). It is afterwards that you realize how special these times were, how good you felt about possibly saving someone ' s life by donating blood or giving a good performance during halftime. Teresa Robinson and Derenda Dye (right) completed forms for the PC Suggestion Program. Individuals whose suggestions were used and judged by the committee to be the most cost-effective won $100! The Alumni Association and the Ameri- can Red Cross co-sponsored a bloodmobile drive on campus. Alysia Turner (bottom, left) was one of 105 people who donated blood. Regis- tration is always a hectic time, but it is good to see friends again. Randy Conley and Kim Robinson (bottom, right) checked the schedule of classes during spring registration. Basketball games just would not be the same without the music of the pep band, led by Jim Andy Caudill (opposite page, top). Their tunes always boosted the crowd and the team ' s enthusiasm. Students went to the polls in April to choose new leadership for the S.G.A. Voter turn-out was fairly good, and the winning ticket was Chuck Newman and Terry Epling, billed as the Team You Can Trust (opposite page, bottom left). The men ' s basket- ball coach, Greg White ' s wizards (opposite page, bottom right) may look ' tough and mean ' , but they still enjoyed the cook-out during Founders ' Day. Floyd Crawford, Chuck Cleckley, Hoskins Carroll, Jeff Mullins and Jon Smith were members of the up and coming Bears team. The Best Things In Life J 4 -k V iPl X v. 6 Student 7 Student Life Webster ' s New World Dictionary of the American Language defines friend (frend) 1. a person whom one knows well and is fond of 2. a person on the same side in a struggle; one who is not an enemy or foe; ally 3. a supporter or sym- pathizer. Pikeville College students formed special friendships during their years at PC; most of these will last a life time. % Trena Hensley and Melanie Dedden (top, right) added a comical touch to bas- ketball practice when they shared their Halloween masks with other teammates. Pikey (alias Paul Keen), the college mas- cot, (top, left) made lots of friends dur- ing his performances at basketball games. Graduation was both a sad and happy time for PC students. Many would begin exciting careers that would take them far away from old classmates. Steve Priode (kneeling), Carm Keen, Rachel Dotson, Sissy Scaggs and Terry Epling (right) enjoyed the reception fol- lowing Commencement. Good Friends Are Forever The Epsilon Theta Sorority felt one of their greatest opportunities was being able to support local charities and orga- nizations. Laura Hall (top), treasurer of her chapter, presented a donation to Dr. Maurice Bailey, President, Pike County Unit, American Cancer Society. With autumn came football season, sweaters, falling leaves and students who could not wait to get out and enjoy the cool evenings (left). From bottom, left to right, John Norris, Carm Keen, Mary Ann Stanley, Sissy Scaggs, Gwen Ad- dington, Bucky Hall, Tonya Blackburn, Patsy Blankenship, Pam Taylor and Sandra Gomez spent those lazy after- noons building pyramids. 9 Student Life In The Good Some students began to unwind as summer approached while others pre- pared anxiously for finals. Howard Roberts (opposite page, top) was sur- prised with a party from his Account- ing II class. When the pool opened (opposite page, middle left) the girls put on as little as possible to begin their tans. Carmella McGurie (oppo- site page, middle right) found a quiet place to study in the Science Building. Ole Summer Time Paul Keen, Carm Keen, Bucky Hall and Sherri Sawyers (oppo- site page, bottom) enjoyed a break from class during a bomb scare. Sissy Scaggs, Jennifer Greene and Hagan Bush (top) rested at pool-side while others swam. The dreaded parking ticket! Johnny Shortridge (middle, left) didn ' t find it to be such an exciting job, but somebody had to do it. For the past few years the American Association of University Women (AAUW) have hosted a luncheon reception for graduating women. This gives the group an opportunity to meet the seniors and introduce them to the AAUW goals and objectives (middle, right). Jennifer Lockhart, Katherine Coleman, Judy Adkins, Karen Martin, Jane Branham and Denise Newsom listened as club members explained their organization. 11 Student Life To Honor Our Athletes, The Alumni Association Hosts Party It ' s an annual affair! Every year the Alumni Association sponsors a party honoring the college basketball players, cheerleaders and coaches. All students, faculty and staff are invited. Trena Hens- ley, Lisa Hall, Melanie Dedden (hidden), Bethe Hall, Pam Tay- lor, Lynn Perry and Terry Spears (top) do ' the Bird ' . Pam Taylor (insert) demonstrates the proper wing technique. The food was good, too. John Norris, Troy Rutherford, Sandra Gomez, and John Coombes (middle, Left) took a break between dances. John Norris, Bernie Burke and Lynn Perry (middle, right) were only three of several students attending the dance at Graham Station. 12 Student Life m Robert Staggs and John Coombes (top, right) were members of the men ' s basketball team. They seemed to be having a good time! Steve Priode, Karen Griffith and Melissa York (middle, left) waited on the sidelines before tackling the dance floor. President Jack Hall and his wife, Kathe, (mid- dle, right) were active supporters of student activities. 1 Sfo ' ' -nt Life 4 La Fille Mai Gardee The Pikeville College Dance Com- pany ' s spring highlight was the produc- tion of La Fille Mai Garde (The Badly Guarded Daughter), a ballet in three acts. The performance, choreographed by Frederick Ashton, was adapted by Peggy Davis and Claire Olson. Lise, the only daughter of prosperous farm owner. Widow Simone, is in love with peasant farmer Colas. Alas, Widow Simone has bigger plans for her dau gh- ter. Colas and Lise were played by Mike Potter and Misty Rowe (top). ACT I THE FARMYARD The dawn of a busy day on the farm is heralded by the cock and his attendant hens. Lise disappointed at not seeing Colas, leaves a ribbon (tied in a lover ' s knot) as a token of her devotion. He finds it and binds it to his staff. The lovers meet, but are interrupted by Si- mone, who sets her daughter to churn- ing butter. Colas, who is hiding in the loft, joins her. The work is shared and then forgotten as they declare their love. Farm girls summon Lise to play, but her mind is elsewhere. Her suspicious and ever-watchful mother chastises her. Just then Thomas, the pompous and wealthy proprietor of a vineyard, arrives with his son Alain. Simone, aware of their mission, dismissed Lise. Thomas asks for Lise ' s hand in marriage to his son, Alain. When Lise returns, Alain, coy and clumsy, shows off his paces. She is amused and a little shocked by his antics, but definitely not interested. They set off for the harvest. Sherry Thompson (right), one of the peasant women, dances in the cornfield as the villagers celebrate harvest time. 14 Student Life After working in the fields, the harvesters (top) relax in a joyful dance. Lise is repremanded by her mother (bottom, right) after dancing with Colas. The peasant girls (bottom, left) join in the dance during harvest. ACT II THE CORNFIELD It is harvest time and, after working in the fields, the harvesters, led by Colas, relax in a joyful dance. Lise and Alain dance, but Colas intervenes, and the young girl makes it clear where her preference lies. One of the har- vesters plays the flute to everybody ' s general merriment, and Alain thinks he will take a turn. The harvesters mock him and he is rescued from their horseplay by his indig- nant father. The field is now left clear for the triumphant Colas, who dances with Lise. Si- mone joins in the merriment of the harvest- ers. Suddenly they are interrupted by a storm that drenches them, scattering them far and wide. 15 Student Life ' H After a hard day ' s work, the harvesters come to Simone for their pay (top, left). Lise and Colas (top, right) emerge to meet her mother as husband and wife. Alain, played by Gary McCown, (bottom) enjoyed showing off to Lise. ACT III INTERIOR OF THE FARM- HOUSE Mother and daughter, soaked by the storm, return to the farmhouse to spin. Work, thinks the mother, should keep Lise out of mischief. As her mother falls asleep, Lise tries to take the house key from her to escape and join Colas, whom she has seen through the gate. Simone awakes and, in order to remain watchful, plays the tambourine for Lise to dance. But as the taps grow feebler, she be- gins to nod, and now she is fast asleep. Lise runs to the door and flirts with Colas who is still outside. The tapping of the harvesters, coming for their pay, awakens Simone. Si- mone tells her daughter to get on with her chores as she leaves to give the harvesters a drink. Lise, thinking she is alone, dreams of the delights of married life. Colas cannot re- sist and comes out from hiding. She is bashful at having been taken by surprise, but once again they declare their love, exchanging scarves as a token. Life ' s Not Easy I love being a part of Pikeville College ' de- clared Kim Robinson of Pikeville, a senior ac- counting major. I have had the opportunity to make so many friends. I ' m glad I decided to come here to graduate (Kim is a transfer from the Uni- versity of Kentucky.) I feel that Pikeville College has helped me adjust to my ' new home ' . Kim HAS made a big adjustment during the past year. She was married in May, 1984, carried an 18 hour class load, maintains an A average and works part-time at Dawahare ' s. It would have been easy to stay out of school for awhile, but completing her education was a primary goal in her life. I really enjoy staying so busy. It gives me the chance to interact with people all the time, whether I ' m at school or at work. If I do well on a test or paper, I feel like I ' ve accomplished something . . . and it ' s a good feel- ing to make Wes (husband) proud of me by doing so much without slighting my repsonsibilities as a wife. There ARE times when things get hectic . . . trying to study, cook dinner, keep the laundry from running out the door . . . biit given the choice, I would probably do everything exactly as I am now.

Elementary age children are eager to begin the best part of their day while they wait for parents to pick them up after work. John Norris of Clintwood, a senior music education major, meets them to lead the boys and girls to their classroom. We have a good time together. We watch educational films, read books, play games outside (weather permitting) and inside, and sometimes have parties, John says. I love working with children, I always have. I was counselor, state representative and national representative in the 4-H program in high school. John also stays busy throughout the year working with the Johns Creek High School Flag and Rifle squads as their instructor (this is his fourth year!) During the past three years his squads have captured eight first place trophies, one at the Citrus Bowl in Florida. Pikeville College has meant alot to me. Many opportunities have opened up for me here. And I have made many, many friends during these past four years. I guess they ' ve been my second family. These things will be what I most remember about Pikeville College. 21 People Students Accepted, Med.

Miss Culton attended Wheaton College for one year before joining the Women ' s Army Corps in World War II and was in service two and one- half years. She took basic train- ing in Florida and was sta- tioned two years in Colorado Springs. Ten days after leaving mili- tary service, in January 1946, she returned to Wheaton Col- lege in Illinois. In June 1948, she graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Sci- ence degree in Christian educa- tion and theology and received the Orlinda Childs Pierce di- ploma in Bible. By June 1950, two years later, she had earned her Master of Religious Educa- tion degree from the New York Theological Seminary. In the summer of 1954, she returned for further study. Miss Alma Culton posed with Mary Evelyn and Lon Rogers (top) after receiving the Doctor of Humane Letters degree during Founders ' Day Convocation October 5, 1978. During her earlier years at the college (bottom) . . . Miss Culton dined with faculty and students in the cafeteria. 78 Faculty To A Great Lady She began her life career at Pike- ville College as assistant professor in the department of religion in 1950 and was soon involved in teaching, the church, and other activities. When Dr. Hansen, her pastor in Colorado Springs, offered her a job she sent a refusal. She knew her heart was being entwined with the Kentucky youth and she would re- main in the hills. Looking back over her career. Miss Culton remembered early days in the army building as she became acquainted with the other teachers and students, members in the Pres- byterian Church and people of the town. She recalled her experience of staying in the girls ' dormitory a year before moving into the newly erected Spilman Apartments build- ing October 6, 1964. She has taught under five college presidents — Dr. A.A. Page, Dr. Burnice H. Jarman, Dr. Thomas A. Johns, Dr. Robert S. Cope and Dr. Jackson Hall, also un- der Dr. Raymond J. Bradley and Dr. Rediford Damron, acting presi- dents. Miss Culton was given special rec- ognition at a college community forum November 27, 1984, in Faith Chapel (top) for her 34 years of service at Pikeville College. The Alumni Association honored her as Honorary Alumna at the Alumni Senior Banquet May 18, 1985 (bot- tom). Terry Spears, president-elect, presented her award. 79 Faculty • tm tmm Dr. Jackson Hall conferred the degree of Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters during Founders ' Day Convocation October 5, 1978. This is the highest recognition granted by colleges. As Miss Culton herself looked back on her teaching career she reflected, What means most is all the students I ' ve had over the years. Not all of them appreciated the courses natural- ly, but all have made it more than worthwhile. On February 5, 1978, before receiving her doctorate on October 5, that year, she was made an elder of the First Presbyterian Church in Pikeville. She said in this period, First, I ' m glad to be a Christian, then a Bible teacher, then an elder. Through the years Miss Culton has been a member of the American Association of Uni- versity Professors; the America Academy of Re- ligion; the American Association of University Women; and the Society of Bible Literature. Since coming to Pikeville she has played an active role in church and community work. 80 Faculty Among the active labor she has done she feels that the work she gave the Student Christian Fel- lowship groups from 1950 until 1975, when a campus minister as- sumed duties at the college, has perhaps been the most important along with her teaching career. In these groups students were moti- vated to Christian service and to putting Christ ' s principles into practice. Our student groups first met in the log cabin on the hill, re- membered Miss Culton. We met in the Student Center and the Open Doors rooms in the dormi- tory. Finally I just had the stu- dents come to my apartment. Miss Culton began her life career at Pikeville College as assis- tant professor in the religion department in 1950. She has indeed played an important role in the lives of many during those years. 81 Faculty I 18 9 lO n 12 13 14 IS le 8 9 lO II 12 13 14 15 le r 8 9 lO n 12 13 14 15 te 17 ti  b W( ' ul ' ty S TFaqsTTy- i tt- 23 m - I M 20 8 9 to 11 12 13 14 IS te 17 -)« Students Remember Their Heritage Peggy Davis ' Appalachian Education class spent a day remembering their Appalachian heritage.

This was also the founding of the Pres- byterian Church in Pikeville. In 1932, Founders ' Day was extended to a week and has been ob- served regularly since. Pikeville College cele- brated the 95th anniversary of its founding Oc- tober 4, 1984, with the highlight of the week the Founders ' Day Convocation. Honorary degrees were awarded to David Zegeer, Assistant Secre- tary of Labor (MSHA), who gave the Convoca- tion address, and Wilfred S.

Rudy Baldwin and Lynn Perry (bottom) celebrated the college ' s 95th ' birthday ' . (The following history on Pikeville College was obtained from an article written by Alice Kinder in the Octo- ber 1, 1984, issue of the Appalachian News-Express.) In 1925, with 25 years recorded in the new 20th century, Pi- keville College was 36 years old. The new Administration Building would be ready for use the next year and with more room would come increased enrollment, more teachers and an en- larged curriculum. Dr. Record, the trustees, and others felt the founders of the school and others who had con- tributed greatly to the school ' s growth deserved honor and recognition. They made plans, therefore, for a Founders ' Day program. The first Founders ' Day at Pikeville College was held Wednes- day, October 21, 1925, according to Margaret Bell Record. (One source listed the date as October 28.) Excitement abounded at the school and in town as trustees and other dis- tinguished visitors began arriving in Pikeville on Tuesday. Some who re- membered the occasion said October had never been as golden and crimson before as colored leaves sifted from the trees in October wind. 102 Founders ' Day H The main Founders ' Day program was held in the afternoon at the First Presbyterian Church in Pikeville. The program there started with the singing of Holy, Holy, Holy by the group. Rev. J.V. Koontz, pastor of the church, gave the invocation. When Dr. Record rose to speak all listened in quiet reverence to the lead- er who played such an important role in guiding the college to its present moment. He said the date chosen for the first Founders ' Day was the time of the founding of the Presbyterian Church. The founding of the church and school had been a two-fold aim of the early founders sent by the Eben- ezer Presbytery into the hills in the early 1880s. Dr. Record noted that the only shadow on the joyful occasion was the recent death of that faithful, loyal and helpful friend, C.C. Bowles. He commented, too, on the helpful role played by the Connolly family in the school ' s growth. He introduced Mr. W.M. Connolly, grandson of W.M. Connolly, an original trustee whose home always threw out the welcome mat to Pikeville College visitors. iisi Greg and Marian (assistant professor of physical edu- cation) (top) enjoyed the dance. Russ Halsey, Bernie Burke, Lynn Perry and Hoskins Carroll (bottom) found a table where to re- lax between dances. 103 Founders ' Day 104 Activities The excitement and anticipation of the annual Homecom- ing celebration was shown during the presentation of the court at halftime of the men ' s game Friday, November 30.

Diana Abshire, Terry Epling, Baretta Casey, Brenda Trivette, Sherry Penning- ton and Lorinda Greer. It begins with freshmen orientation week, when another year is beginning at Pikeville College. Members of the yearbook staff worked with various campus organizations to place ac- tivities on the yearbook calendar so, hopefully, all events could be recorded in the Highlander. Much time, planning, organization and dedica- tion goes into an effort of this magnitude. The first step is recording the layout on a 3R Planner. When the final design details are com- pleted, the image is transferred to the 3R Lay- out Form. But there are also the photographs and copy. The yearbook staff, with advisor Susan Huff- man, worked to record those special moments during 1984-85 for all who were a part of Pike- ville College. 119 Organizations Students Take Top Honors, Phi Beta Lambda Conference Two Pikeville College business students walked away with top honors at the spring Phi Beta Lambda Kentucky Leadership Conference held in Louisville February 21-23.

I will never, for the rest of my coaching career, have another year quite like this one. I learned a lot about myself and my players, as well as people in general. ' ' My goal this year was to set a foundation. I think we accom- plished this effort. I knew when I took the job as head coach that the player personel was down and that it would be a long year. Our season record, 5-19, was very deceiving. Anyone who saw the Bears play know we could have easily won, with a break or two, eight or nine more games. We lost so many close ones. In 23 of 24 games I was extremely proud of our effort. Regardless of our record I feel we won this year. I saw a team of young men stick together through some tough times. At 0- 12 I saw signs of players doubting themselves. And then we started to win, five games in a row. Three were played at home and two on the road. The fact is, we changed the streak, from losing to win- ning. This is where the founda- tion was laid. 122 Sports A Touch Of Class 1984-85 MEN ' S BASKETBALL TEAM.

Despite early season injuries and tough class schedules, the Pikeville College cheerleaders overcame their handi- caps. They cheered at all home basketball games and most of the away games. They were one of the few squads in the K.I.A.C. conference to travel. Under the sponsorship of Susan Huffman, the yell leaders not only performed at games, but also supported the men ' s and women ' s teams in season ticket sales, showing basketball recruits around campus, making signs and painting basketballs for games.

Hacker expressed these beliefs in concluding his remarks to a crowd of around 100 people at the Pikeville College Sports Banquet held in the college cafeteria. Hacker is the color commentator on the University of Kentucky radio net- work, one of the largest and most re- spected networks of its kind in the nation. He sprinkled his address to the Pikeville College athletes and boosters with stories and quotes from Adolph Rupp, Vince Lombardi, Cawood Led- ford, Joe B. Hall and even an occasion- al mention of Larry Webster. There is no room on a team, or in real life, for pessimists. You have to be an optimist, you have to believe it ' s gonna happen good, said the success- ful radio producer and administrator. The purpose of the banquet was to present awards to the PC men ' s and women ' s basketball teams. Athletic di- rector Paul Butcher was extremely op- timistic about the direction of the men ' s and women ' s programs at the college. I ' m excited, exclaimed Butcher. We ' ve got something started — and it ' s going to continue, said the veteran of 27 years at Pikeville Col- lege.

People are starting to talk about the program again. But, White tempered the optimism with realism, saying, It takes time, it doesn ' t happen overnight. But, you can expect the win-loss column to change next year, added the 26-year-old coach. White, like Hacker, stressed the importance of athletics to an institution, saying that he was recruited out of high school in Mullens, West Virginia by Pikeville College, before deciding on Marshall University. It ' s a free means of publicity, he commented, it ' s a winner ' s world. If you lose, no one comes around, he stated. White said that he saw good signs in his team this year. We walked out of the locker room 24 times thinking we could win. I think we did win, said the all-time assist leader at Marshall University. He expressed his appreciation to the people that backed the program this season, saying, You can go all over the earth, and some of the finest people in the world are right in this room. The men ' s program honored seniors Rodney Rowe and Jeff Simon; the women ' s program Trena Hensley; and the cheerleaders Lisa Hall.

In 1889, three acres of land were pur- chased from Arch Huffman for $1000. This land was used to erect the first school building. The purpose of the col- lege was to develop a Christian leader- ship through education which, in turn, would be the salvation of the mountain- eers. David Blythe, pastor of the mission church in Pikeville, was the first presi- dent of the school. His contributions helped to open the doors of the four room, $6000, brick building on Septem- ber 16, 1889. Its enrollment was 125 pu- pils. The tuition, in the amount of $8, was to be paid in advance. The school ' s first circular stated that the school ' s purpose was to supply the long felt need of a higher education for extreme eastern Kentucky. Dr. David Blythe (top), 28, was the first principal of Pi- keville Collegiate Institute. The band performed a con- cert in front of the Adminis- tration Building (1938) (bot- tom). 148 History Perfectly Preserved . fi '  ' - S - ■ ' i, ii ' ■ Members of the women ' s Glee Club (1935-36) posed for a picture (top).

One of the highlights of the year was the May Pole dance (middle). Two cheerleaders posed for a picture (bottom). In the early 1900s, there was a need for teacher educa- tion for the public schools. Pikeville Collegiate Institute established its first teacher training class at this time. With the year of 1902, at- tendance at the school began to increase. An addition to the original building was re- quired to accommodate the enrollment. Four rooms were added at that time with stu- dents on campus making the bricks. After the enlarge- ment, one of the trustees said, Now we have all the build- ings we will ever need. Only a few years later he was proven wrong. 150 History Miss Mary Spilman (top), who served the college first as a teacher and then as alumni secretary, since 1918, was the first to occupy an apartment in the Gillespie Apartment Building. Students gathered in the wood cottage (bottom) where the Marvin Student Center now stands. The girls dormitory, Hendrick Hall, had 10 rooms added in 1905, but this still did not meet the need for larger facilities for the girls. The college trustees realized that due to transportation distances, the girls were not being educated while the boys wer€. This led to the acquistion of land which over looked the town and on which was built the larger girls dormitory. The work on the dormitory began in 1906 and was completed in 1908. It was named The Derriana. With the completion of Derriana Hall, Hendrick Hall, located on the lower campus, became the institute ' s first boys ' dormitory. 151 History Robert Staggs and a friend built a snowman (top, left). During Freshmen Orientation in 1956, a Welcome Wagon served refresh- ments (top, right). Trustees posed for a pic- ture after a May Board meeting (bottom). The school year of 1905-06, saw the tuition rates at $16 and $20 per year, and $2 per month for the teacher courses. Until 1909, students ' education only went through the high school grades. However, after a new dormitory was erected the trustees decid- ed to expand the school ' s scope and to increase the curriculum. The school became chartered as a Junior College at that time. For the first time, the college catalogue for 1909-10 used the name of Pikeville College in- stead of Pikeville Collegiate Institute. In 1909, Pikeville College received the privi- lege of granting State Teacher ' s Certificates, two years after the legislature passed a bill enpowering the granting of this privilege to certain colleges within the state. Dr. A. A. Page (top) served as president of Pikeville College from October, 1941 through December 31, 1962. During his administra- tion, in 1955, the wom- en of the Presbyterian Church made Pikeville College the recipient for their ' opportunity giv- ing. ' Their gift of $100,000 was used in erecting the $750,590 Record Memorial Build- ing (bottom). Although the school attempted to extend college courses in 1909, it was 1916 before actual college work began. One student enrolled that year. The following year, three students enrolled. In 1918, a gymnasium was built on the lower campus. The labor was done mainly by the students. The school ' s Administration Building was built in 1926 with funds given by several benevolent donors. Wickham Hall was built in 1929 and housed 96 young men. It contained a dining room which had a capacity for 250 persons. The first college yearbook. The Highlander, was published in 1926-27. As Academy senior, Carl. Hatcher suggested the name for the yearbook. 153 History •I- The women living in Derriana Hall in 1958 posed for a picture (top).

There were literary societies, debating teams, a Latin Club, Christian Endeavor Society, an orchestra, basketball and tennis teams, and a Glee Club. The college had its first PC Bears basketball and baseball teams in 1927-28. The academic program in 1927-28 included Latin, Greek, Bible, education, psychology, English, history, economics, home economics, French, German, Spanish, mathematics, biol- ogy, chemistry and physics. By 1929, the college was emphasizing its goal of becoming a four year college. This goal was not reached until 1955. Pikeville College ' s first four-year graduate proudly received her diploma (top, left). Work began on the Record Memorial Building (top, right) in 1955. Stu- dents in typing class (bottom) were hard at work on an assignment. Two hundred and twenty seven dollars and fifty cents would finance an entire year at Pikeville College in 1929. That same year, the college plant was valued at $600,000. The faculty consisted of 22 members, including its admin- istrative officers and faculties from the academy, the training school and the college. Enrollment at that time included more than 100 students in the academy, 100 students in the training school and 101 students in the college. 155 History Campus-Community One Big Family Students found that college life extended beyond the campus to the community during their day to day meanderings ' down- town ' . The local churches pro- vided a special home for stu- dents. Many were active as Sun- day School teachers or in the choir. The Presbyterian Church (opposite page, bottom, left) was honored when its pastor, the Rev. Eddie Grigsby, was named a college trustee beginning with the 1985-86 year. 156 Community The Citizens Bank (opposite page, top). First National Bank (top, right) and Pikeville National Bank (opposite page, bottom, right) were places where students found a safe home for their monies, part-time jobs and the opportuni- ty to attend college with student loans. For a night of dancing and fun students only had to walk down the 99 steps to Graham Station. One of the owners, Gary Thrash, an alum of the college, was always working with different organizations on campus to co ordinate activities at ' the Station ' . The Wedding- ton Theater (bottom) provided another form of intertainment for students by showing the newest releases for movie goers. 157 Connimunity J r U QJ .o . 9 •j H u CD 158 Closing (Xrrri i h y 0. f ' .
