It was the first weeks of school. The college was operating under the leadership of a new (interim) presi- dent. Enrollment had increased some 30 per- cent. There was re- newed spirit among the faculty, staff and stu- dents. The college was receiving a face-lift (buildings were painted, new concrete was poured, and it was nice having the president living on campus.)

Christian, businessman, and benefactor to many spoke to graduating seniors, their family and friends during Commencement ceremonies Sunday, May 4, 1986, in Faith Chapel. ... What 1 will say to you today are things that I have learned from experience that are important in life — anyone ' s life . First, I would like to share with you some of my thoughts about success. Success is any field of endeavor that you might choose. Success means different things to different people and this is as it should be. It would be rather difficult to accomodate our wishes if we all chose to be doctors, lawyers, or bankers, or even coal miners. ... We must set our goals and we must always strive to reach those goals, but reaching a goal is not a sure recipe for happiness. Neither will happiness be found by our contin- ually searching for it. Happiness is a by-product of an unselfish and caring way of life, putting forth your best efforts always, trampling on no one, seeking your own personal goals without envying the success of others. ... John Kennedy said in his inaugural address, Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. It is terribly important that you begin early in life by being a contributor to society and always put in just a little more than you take out. ... I do not believe that it was ever intended for our lives to be a continual bed of roses. It is the rough times that we face that build character and a determination to over- come the obstacles with which we are confronted. To fail in a task or an undertaking is nothing to be ashamed of. Never to have tried is a sad thing indeed. Buck Harless was awarded a Doctor of Humane Letters degree during Commencement (top and inset). The pomp and circumstance prior to the walk down the aisle for graduation is always exciting for graduating seniors.

Bobby Sullivan (top, left), a freshman ma- joring in business education, has learned to work around his handicap. Following an accident at an early age, the doctors surgi- cally placed part of his hip bone and rib bone on his back to help to brace himself. He chose Pikeville College because it was close to home, his parents wouldn ' t worry so much about him, and I really like the stu- dents and faculty. Mastering those ac- counting problems was no easy feat for Julie Justice (top, right) so she got a little help from her instructor, Howard Roberts. Prin- ciples of Economics II dealt with the theor- ies of production, the determination of prices, and distribution of income in regu- lated and unregulated industries. Robert Staggs, Sandra Gomez and Jennifer Greene (bottom) discussed a problem with their in- structor, Gene Lovel. 96 Academics Programming the computer using the BASIC language was the main objective in Introduction to Programming — BASIC. Pikeville College students (top) worked on a program dealing with mathematical and business applications. Sophomore Kathy Howell (bottom, left) was born with her right leg 1% inches shorter than her left, and was restricted to a cane a little later in life. Her one dream was to get a college education which she has been able to do at Pikeville College. Besides being a full-time student, Kathy is married, the mother of two boys and is a tutor at the college (she tutors 33 V2 hours a week). She worked with John Stanley on an English grammar lesson. Advanced typewriting emphasis increased speed, accuracy and advanced type- writing problems. Brenda Hicks, instructor, (bottom, right) explained a lesson to her class. 97 Academics Mining Technology Program Sponsors Varied Degrees The Department of Mining Technology is dedicated to ad- vancing the knowledge and skills of those people employed in coal mining and related industries so they can pursue careers in this field of work.

Mining technology students and their instructors visited a coal preperation plant as part of the requirement for the program (top). Earl Coleman and Jeff Dotson listened as their instructor, Ben Ward, (bottom) explained the equip- ment in the Basic Surveying class. 98 Academics 99 Activities It was the largest crowd I had seen at Convocation in the last 30 years, declared Charles Spears, a 1937 alum, of the 1985 Founders ' Day. Faith Chapel was filled with students, faculty and staff, Rotarians, Kiwanians, and friends who came to share in an hour of fellowship and history. Nearly 200 people joined together afterwards for an indoor picnic in the college cafeteria. Unlike previous Founders ' Day Convocations, this years ' celebration centered on recognizing corporate, civic and private donors responsible for expanding its parking facilities between Huffman and Elm Streets. Through the collective effort of these individuals, the five year effort came to fruition. In reviewing the complexity and extent of this effort, former president Jackson O. Hall (top) stated, When I came here 10 years ago, parking was the priority concern of almost everyone here at this institution. It is so gratifying for me to see the community of Pike- ville rally around this effort and bring it to closure. In recognition of his service and devotion to the college, trustees presented Dr. and Mrs. Hall a silver tray, while the students and staff recognized him with a framed photograph of Dr. Hall and students posed beside the college ' s newest van, a gift from the First Presbyterian Church, Birmingham, Michigan, and its former minister, Morgan Rob- erts. Pikeville College students served faculty and staff a special steak dinner (bottom) as part of Founders ' Day activities. College employees returned the favor a few nights later, serving the students. Chuck Newman, Sharon Held, Renate Stingl, Chris Miller, Teresa Frazier, Paul Keen and Kennith Black- burn volunteered their time to wait on tables and serve meals. 100 Founders ' Day Founders 7 Day, HH A Change In Tradition Although Convocation was the highlight of the week- long celebration, special events were scheduled each day. A reception was hosted by the Alumni Association prior to the traditonal Founders ' Day dance. The students challenged the faculty and staff to a football game (top). The faculty were the victors (but they had help from a few students). Perhaps one of the more majestic sights of Founders ' Week was the lighting of approximately 400 luminarios on campus. Those attending the concert featuring Guy Lombardo ' s Royal Canadians, under the direction of Art Mooney, were treated to a spectacular view of the cam- pus. Recognizing Founders ' Day to be an appropriate time to reminisce on the founding of Pikeville College, President Bill Owens (bottom) re- viewed important periods in the 96 years of its existance. 101 Founders ' Day In Keeping With A Tradition, Homecoming Celebration Coming home for Pikeville Col- lege alumni meant sharing in the present pomp and circumstance as well as remembering good times long past. Faded scrapbooks record- ed special times for those with good experiences as a former student, faculty or staff member, while those currently enrolled were just beginning their collection of ticket stubs, matchbook covers, shakers and corsages. Alumni and friends returned to the college November 11-16 in celebration of its thirty-third Homecoming festivities. We ' ve had fun! Marty Childers, Misty Rowe, Penny Childers and Robert Staggs (top) seemed to be saying. The food was good, the music sensational and the company best of all.

Dr. Thomas Walker of Virginia came through the Cumberland Gap in the spring of 1750 and camped in what is now Pine Mountain State Resort Park. The prettiest women from all of Kentucky ' s colleges and universities vie for the laurel crown, and the queen is crowned in a breath-takingly beautiful ceremony staged in a natural amphitheater on the side of Pine Mountain. The festival is a three-day affair offering a parade, princess ball, queen ' s ball, arts and craft fairs, golf and tennis tournaments, mountain marathon, dinners, receptions, and entertainments, but the main event is the cornation pageant in Laurel Cove. Sandra Gomez represented Pikeville College and was escort- ed by Todd May. Sandra Gomez and other candidates (top, left) dressed in white gowns as part of the cornation pagentry.

The jingle was introduced at the They ' re Off Luncheon, the traditional kick-off to Derby Week on Friday, April 25. Kathe McBride, Pikeville College ' s representative, the four other princess candidates, and approximately 2000 peo- ple enjoyed the affair. The 1986 Kentucky Derby Festival saw the debut of several new events. Some of these included the Running Wild Spaghetti Dinner, Take it to the Bucket — A West End Shoot-out bas- ketball competition, Derby Gospel Fest, and Ramble for the Roses. The traditional events also returned with the favored the 31st Annual Pega- sus Parade. It included twenty-one floats and twenty-three high school marching bands. 126 Ky. Derby Interviewed For Ky. Derby Princess The Fillies Club, which organizes the Derby Queen coronation, was formed in January, 1959 by seventeen civic-minded women. They planned a sparkling addition to Kentucky Derby festivities: a lavish ball culmi- nating in the coronation of the Ky. Derby Queen and her court. In an elaborate setting of red roses, five Kentucky beauties were presented to the assembled company. A spin of the wheel sent one to the throne to rule over the Derby Week spectacle. 127 Ky.

The drama group, made up of college students, faculty, staff, community people and high school students, performed Trifles, by Susan Glaspell, I ' m Herbert, taken from the full-length comedy by Robert Anderson entitled You Know I Can ' t Hear You with the Water Running, and Cagebirds, by David Compton. Trifles is a murder story. A woman has been accused of murdering her husband in his sleep, and the crew followed the conversations of two of her female peers as they attempt to decide for themselves whether she actually committed the crime and if there was justifi- able cause for ending her husband ' s life. I ' m Herbert is a Sunday afternoon-type conversation between two senior citizens who have led rather active lives. They have at least five marriages, possibly two children, and some wild times bet ween them. Cagebirds explores the relationship between a free spirit and a group of complacent individuals who are more concerned with their particular interests than living to the fullest. The vehicle for this exploration is a birdcage filled with self-satisfied, egocentric ' birds ' who are very happy with their place in the world. Their ' mistress ' adds one more to their number, the wild one, whose only intent is to break the bars of the cage and experience the real world again. The Peach Orchard Players were advised by (top) Alvin Stinnett, Laurie Lindberg, Cindy Price and Peggy Davis. The Peach Orchard Players (bottom).

The fellowship tries to make a positive contribution to the religious life of the college. During the fall the Christian Fellowship participated in the Oxfam American Fast. Each individual gave up food for one day and gave the money that would have been spent on food to help the starving. The regular meetings are held in the chapel on Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. The format was simply a song and informal discussions on issues of interest to the college community. The fellowship was sponsored by Reverend Brain Stratton, campus minister. 133 Christian Fellowship Highlander Staff Preserves Special Moments 1985-86 Yearbook Staff. Sandy Coleman, Roberta Adkins, Mi- chele Boyd, Missy York and Dianna Abshire. Members of the Highlander (yearbook) staff, sponsored by Susan Huffman, worked throughout the year to record and preserve special activities, sport events and historical moments for the faculty, staff and student body. They agreed that, even though it was a tremendous undertaking, it was essential that the 1985-86 be recorded. The group spent many hours taking pictures, writing copy, creating lay-outs, and meeting dead- lines, and as Susan Huffman stated, Like dreams, the pages of this yearbook will hopefully offer a magical route for every individual who had a spe- cial year at Pikeville College during the 1985-86 year. Sandy Coleman and Dianna Abshire (bottom) served as co-editors of the Highlander. 134 Yearbook Staff Phi Beta Lambda Participates In State Competition 1985-86 Phi Beta Lambda.

May scored 53 points, a school record for a single game, and wound up the season with 982 points, 20 better than the old school record. His 53-point performance bested by one the single game record, set by John Lee Butcher in 1956-57. His 982 points for the season broke Butcher ' s old record of 962, set in the 1957-58 season. The 6-8 junior wound up hitting 22 of 36 field goals (61 percent) and nine of 12 free throws (75 percent).

According to Peggy Davis, artistic director of the Pike- ville College Dance Theatre, this was an idea she has had some time. It was a joint performance with the dance program and the Pikeville College Community Chorus. It consisted of religious dancing, liturgical dancing, mixed with ballet and jazz. The different religions interpreted in the show included Catholic, Jewish and Old Regular Baptist. The community chorus sang such moving selections as No More Auction Block for Me , I ' m Going to Sit at the Welcome Table , Got to Have that True Religion , and Tis a Gift to be Simple . 172 Closing Dance Theatre Performs Interpretation Of Old Testament Verse Members of the Pikeville College Dance Theatre showcased this special pro- duction April 24 and April 27 in Faith Chapel at the college. Men and women of the Old Regular Baptist faith (opposite page, top, left) enjoyed their hand- shaking and dancing tradition. During the selection I ' m Going to Sit at the Welcome Table Leigh Ann Branham (opposite page, bottom, left) and other dancers brought in chairs and used them in the dance, as well as sat on them. This particular dance was a combination of ballet modern dance jazz move- ments to interpret the spirit of the song. Donisa Burgess (opposite page, bottom, right) performed a solo dance to the song No More Auction Block for Me . The Pikeville Community Chorus (top, right) was under the direction of Jerry Waddell. Vanessa Stewart (bottom) also danced to the song I ' m Going to Sit at the Welcome Table . 173 Closing Stress For Success, Students Prepare For Finals Week As finals week grew closer and closer, Pikeville College students discovered the best, most produc- tive way for them to study. Some crawled into cor- ners, others depended on organized group sessions, and still some enjoyed the Bears ' Den to the sound of video games and televisions. One student summed up his feelings on how im- portant study time is by sharing, Since I am very busy going to school and working, my study time is very precious. I find myself locking myself in my room at times, however, there are occassions when it ' s more beneficial to study in groups. Whatever the setting, though, I decided to call that time my own. Whether there be no phones, no people, no hus- tle, I have that time of quiet and solitude. It ' s pri- vate and delightful. I even look forward to it at times. 174 Closing 22 Students Discover Their Own Special Places To Study James Hensley and Bill Collins (opposite page, top) found the best place to study for an organic chemistry test to be the Bears Den. The sounds of video games, people talking and television didn ' t seem to bother their concentration. Group sessions sometimes provide the best feed back when you want help on examinations. Several stu- dents met in the library for a study session (opposite page, bottom, left). Steve Ruffing and Karen Gibson (bottom, middle) escaped to a corner to review notes. Margaret McCulley (top) was one of several students who took advantage of the warm, spring weather, and spent time outdoors preparing for tests. A nice, cool place for Tom- my Adkins to review for his exams was the lobby of Record Memo- rial. Very little traffic passed through that area so he enjoyed the comfort of stretching out on a bench (bottom). 175 Closing As the spring semester drew to a close, students took special notice of all things around them. For many of them, this was the final episode of an important part of their lives. Many spent free time around the pool. Colette Jarrell, Caroline Harlowe and friends (top, left) took in the sun. Sharon Smith and Sabrina Samllwood (top, right) spent their lunch hour at pool side. Anita Thacker and Dean Hutchinson (middle, left) worked on their tans. Chris Epling (bottom, right) had the ' fun ' job, of cleaning out the pool. Bernie Burke and Sandra Gomez (middle, right) remembered good times as they packed up their be- longings. Chris Bartley (bottom, left) worked in the bookstore as students returned their books. 176 Closing —■ ' ■■ ' WM : ■■ ' •■■ IB is • . I I
