29401 TH TAST w 3 11,05 r TENNESSEE WESLEYAN Merner - Pfeiffer Library Tennessee Wesleyan College Athens, Tennessee As Tennessee Wesleyan College envisions an even greater future as a senior liberal arts college, it is fitting to recall the services of those who are no longer officially asso- ciated with the institution. Although he was unable to see the fruition of the new Wesleyan during his own administration, to Dr. James L. Robb, President Emeritus, must go much of the tribute for Wesleyan ' s survival during the years of the first World War and of the depression of 1929. Because he is symbolic of the sacrificial labor of administrations, faculties, student bodies, alumni, and friends of the College during its first one hundred years, this section of the 1957 Centennial yearbook is gratefully dedicated to Dr. James L. Robb. MES I- ROBB Mr. John Withers, Editor Nocatula, 1957 Box 120, Tennessee Wesleyan College Athens, Tennessee Dear Mr. Witherst During itB first one hundred years Tennessee Wesleyan has withstood many difficulties - low enrollments, financial criseB, wars, and other discourag- ing and disheartening circumstances. Yet, through every challenge it has found increased strength and enhanced hope for the future. The College haa gained from these trials because the lives of many God-fearing and fellow- man-loving people are linked interminably with its own. These loyal servants of Christian higher education know, even as we know, Han ' s extremity becomes God ' s opportunity, The College hat had a wealth of friends. Would that time and space per- mitted my naming many of those whose love for the College and devotion to it have played a large part in its growth and development. One such friend, in making provision that all of the residue of his estate should go to the Col- lege, told his pastor and me that he counted it his privilege to provide that the substance with which he and his wife have been blessed would continue to do good through all years ahead in helping to train youth for Christian liv- ing. This same thought was in the minds of other benefactors, whether their gifts were large or small. Without the support of the members of the Holston Conference of The Methodist Church, the College would not now be beginning its second century. I would pay tribute to three other factors that have played a vital part in the life of the College. One is the exceptionally fine type of American youth that has made up the student bodies. Another is the group of faculty members who have given of themselves without reserve and often with small financial reward. The third is the quality of membership of the various boards of trustees. No college can boast of a finer or more consecrated group of business and professional men and women to serve as trustees than has served Tennessee Wesleyan. The members of these groups constitute a large part of what we know as Tennessee Wesleyan College. I count it a happy privilege to have known and worked with so many of these people, and I say, Congratulations and God-speed to those who, both now and in the years to come, continue the fine tradition of leadership and service of the first one hundred years of Tennessee Wesleyan College. Sincerely, . ££ PRINT OF OLD COLLEGE Old College Hall Considered a fine example of early American archi- tecture, Old College Hall is rich in tradition and service. Although one source indicated that the build- ing was erected in 1853, the date most frequently given is 1858. During the War between the States, it was used as a hospital for the wounded. Among the distinguished alumni and contributors to the Col- lege who studied here are Bishop R. J. Cooke, whose library was given to the College; The Reverend Mr. John J. Manker, a former President of the College and one of those for whom Petty-Manker Hall is named; and Professor David A. Bolton, a graduate of 1872 and a member of the faculty from that time until his retirement in 1920, in whose memory Bolton Hall is named. A historic print of Old College, original building on the Tennes- see Wesleyan College campus, erected in 1858 and recently reconditioned. In eighteen hundred seventy-two This hell began its summons true: Lad and lass! Come to class! And still each hour we hear its call Echoing from ' Old College ' Hall. Those who are summoned to classes with electric buzzers miss the charm and tradi- tion of the college bell, still a landmark on many campuses. This bell, now in the tower of the library, was in service for many years. In looking for historical material to be used in the Centennial yearbook, a member of the staff found an album which con- tained this picture. Under the picture were these lines, probably penned by a student of another day: Old College Chapel In the Bulletin of Tennessee Wesleyan College (a monthly publication no longer issued) for May, 1928, an account is given of the razing of the old college chapel and the construction of the auditorium-gymnasium, re- dedicated in 1951 as Townsend Memorial Hall in honor of Colonel W. B. Townsend, generous benefactor of the College: The old college chapel held memories sacred to many students during the more than forty years of its ex- istence. It served its day and served it well. Onlv be- cause of the need for a larger and more adequate building was the decision finally made to tear away the old chapel. The final, farewell chapel service on Wednesday, November 14, 1923, was an impressive one. Prof. D. A. Bolton, who had been present at the laying of the cornerstone in 1882, was the chief speaker. The new auditorium-gymnasium is a real delight. . . The building was dedicated by Bishop W. P. Thirkiekl on October 28th, 1924. All who had any part in pro- viding this beautiful and serviceable building for the College have just cause to rejoice in the achievement. These two buildings, the old chapel on the one hand and the new auditorium on the other, are typical of the linking of the old and the new in Tennessee Wesleyan College. Just as the new building is built on the founda- tions of the old, so the new Tennessee Wesleyan is being built on the foundations— the history, the traditions, the ideals, the lovalties — of the old. Elizabeth Ritter Hall Through the years the Holston Conference of The Meth- odist Church has been joined in its support of the College by individuals and organizations both within and without the church. The Elizabeth Ritter Hall, erected in 1891, is owned and supported by the Woman ' s Society of Christian Service of the Board of Missions of The Methodist Church. The McMinn County Sentinel for May 17, 1907, carried a full and interesting story of the close of the year at Grant University. Included in the article was this statement con- cerning the first major improvement to Ritter after 1891: During the past few months a $12,000 addition to Ritter Home has been under construction. It is not yet complete, but it will be before the opening of the next year, and the old part is to be repaired. The new addi- tion provides new and more commodious rooms for dining and study rooms, and rooms for the accommoda- tion of thirty-two more girls. Banfield Hall C. H. Banfield Memorial Hall was erected in 1901, a gift of a long-time trustee and liberal contributor to the College. r cscfesxst nfesxsa ' ? :I9 H JKSh I I ' - ft jfc,. 3 ' -US SP 1 Ek M ill James Lindsey Robb, A.M., was inaugurated President of Tennessee Wesley an College j October 2}, 1926. Interesting excerpts are given in this issue from his inaugural address. oaafKa B ir?M !Jii« ffisawwM wi!P«Ti4ti ' idMJui, The Southeastern Christian Advocate for November 11, 1926, carried an account of the inauguration of Dr. James L. Robb, Emeritus, to the presidency of the College: James Lindsey Robb, A.M., was inaugurated president of Tennessee Wesleyan College, Athens, Tennessee, October 25. A large crowd of friends and students assembled in the beauti- ful auditorium for the impressive exercises, which were opened with prayer by Bishop R. J. Cooke. The presentation was made by Prof. David A. Bolton, and the installation by Bishop W. P. Thirkield. Greetings for the Methodist Episcopal Church were presented by Bishop W. O. Shepard; for Tennessee, by Presi- dent Morgan, of the University of Tennesee; for the Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church, by Secretary Bovard; for denominational colleges, by President Wilson, of Maryville College; for Holston and other Conferences, by the Rev. R. M. Millard; for friends in general, by Dr. John H. Race. The benediction was by President Brown, of the Uni- versity of Chattanooga. A large number of educational in- stitutions sent representatives, and many of the members of Holston Conference attended in a body. ' President Robb, in a timely and appropriate address, among many good things, said: ' The chief reason for maintaining denominational colleges is that they shall be great character-building institutions. . . We have seen that education is a science and is rapidly de- veloping as such, but teaching is an art. This has ever been true, is now and will continue to be. This calls for the artist — the teacher. . . Our section is facing an economic and in- dustrial development that is apt to be unprecedented in our nation . . . May this institution be used of Almighty God in helping to build an intelligent, honest, capable, and God- fearing people. . . In conclusion, my friends, may I remind you that we have a noble heritage, a glorious present, and an inspiring future!

Donner 1894-1956 During her first one hundred years, Tennessee Wesleyan College has been enriched through the conscientious and capable service of instructors who represent the finest traditions of scholarship and teaching. Thomas B. Donner, Associate Professor of Modern Languages (1951-56), brought to his classroom a genuine love of learning and a sincere desire to share his enthusiasm with others. The administration, faculty, and students of the College are fortunate to have known Thomas B. Donner — scholar, teacher, and Christian gentleman. 10 TH NT ESSEE WESLEYAN 11 Institutions, like people, are often tempted to live in the past and to rest on their laurels. To yield to such a temptation is tragic and, eventually, fatal. The Class of 1957 has been privileged to participate in and contribute to what many regard as the most crucial and formative year in the life of the College. Their intelligent understanding of the problems of the administration and faculty, their loyalty to the traditions and ideals of the College, and their enthusiasm for the total program have made possible the success of many constructive activities. In grateful acknowledgment of their contribution to a creative present, this section of the Centennial yearbook is dedicated to the Class of 1957. 12 Senior Class Officers Paul M.

Jasper Dallas Anderson, Jr. was such a student. A member of Theta Sigma Chi Fraternity, Phi Theta Kappa Scholastic Fraternity, and the Student Christian Association, he earned many honors as well as the respect and love of his fellow students and teachers. President of the student body in 1953, he received the W. B. Townsend award as the most representative member of the senior class in 1954 and the H. J. Wilson award, given to the man and woman graduated with the highest academic average. As a second-year student in the University of Tennessee College of Medicine, Dallas was continuing this enviable record. Tennessee Wesleyan College is proud to number Dallas Anderson, Jr. among her finest alumni. 21 Swing your partner! 22 September Old College 23 Student Council Left to right, SEATED -.Shirley Hixson, Dolores Mijnatt, Secretary; ]im McQuain, Presi- dent; Ronnie Knight, Vice President; Billie Dean Haley, Treasurer.

Under the leadership of Jim McQuain, the Student Council has been unusually active in pro- moting cooperation between the students and the administration and faculty and in encouraging social activities for all students. They have sponsored an informal dance after each basketball game and purchased equipment for use in the student center, including ping pong balls, paddles and nets and a record player and records. Reflecting the concern of the students for worthwhile causes beyond the campus, they have assisted in drives for the World Student Service Fund, The Red Cross, and the fight against polio. 24 Student Council Dance 1 September 24, 1956 To begin the school year, freshmen and upperclassmen danced to the music of Adair Clarke, in the College dining room. The dance was a success, both financially and in build- ing a fresher and stronger school spirit. 25 Freshmen Initiation Under the able leadership of the Student Council, Fresh- men initiation created many unforgettable moments.

Although dropping three tough games to Emory and Henry (15-0), Carson-Newman (34-12), and Maryville (21-6), Wesleyan topped a great season with victories over Marion Institute (19-0), Middle Tennessee State Freshmen (13-7), Gordon Military College (20-12), Georgetown (33-0) and Howard College (19-12). Under the spirited leadership of Coaches Rankin Hudson, Junie Graves, and LeRoy Anderson, and co-captains Claude Catron and Hugh Reynolds, Wesleyan amassed 114 points to their opponents ' 109. Offensive leaders were Charles Morgan, Carl Price, Bubba May, Harold Lamb, James Ackerman, Tojo Stephens, and Bobby Thompson. Morgan was the high scorer with four touchdowns, closely followed by Price and Acker- man with three each. Defensively, Hugh Reynolds, Denton Scott, Jack Henderson, James Crigger, and John Boughton were stalwarts. At the annual football banquet, Carl Price and Jack Henderson were elected co- captains of next year ' s squad. With most of the veterans returning, Wesleyan is looking forward to an even greater season. 36 JIMMY ACKER MAN Halfback LEONARD ARNOLD Center DAVID LEE CLINE Fullback ALAN CULPEPPER Quarterback %J JOHN ALISE Guard JOHN BOUGHTON End JAMES CRIGGER End V BOB ALLEN Guard 4 i CLAUDE CATRON Center (Captain) JERRY CROWE Halfback JAMES DUNCAN Fullback KING ENSMINGER End 37 Bl 1 ■ MIKE GILBREATH End JACKIE HENDERSON Center L i i? «li ' ■ :,. 4 T HAROLD LAMB Quarterback HUGH BUBBA MAY Halfback m r-. ■ ¥ CLYDE GRUBB Guard BILLY HICKS Tackle : ' - .- -r JACK LIDDY Guard DAVID MORGAN Halfback JOE HARRISON Guard BENNIE POTEET Tackle BUDDY LONG End ROBERT COTTON ' JACKSON Halfback 38 CARL PRICE Fullback DENTON SCOTT Guard BOBBY THOMPSON End ' X ' -W - ■-..

It has also made possible more adequate recognition of superior students. The first major step was the request that students from Ten- nessee Wesleyan be nominated for Who ' s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges.

This year three groups - the KAPPAS, ZETAS, and HITS combined to sponsor this dance. Perhaps no students could have met with more unanimous approval than Joe Sherrod and Tina Moses. So long as Wesleyan has students of this calibre and personality, the fu- ture of the institution is promising indeed.

No other words could describe the fine efforts of Coach Tip Smith and his Wesleyan quintet. Sparked by such men as Pat Gorman, Dwain Farmer, Joe Crabtree, Ronnie Knight, and Elbert Prewitt, Wesleyan made an excellent showing in its first year of big-time basketball, with a 16-7 record. Acceptance into the Smoky Mountain Athletic Conference presented a challenge to the Bulldogs which they met with a 6-4 Con- ference record. The team won their first tournament game, defeating Union College with an 18-point margin, and were eliminated from the tournament by a loss to Carson- Newman.

A cheerleader has various duties. In order to lead student cheering at football and basketball games and to direct pep meetings in chapel, the members of the squad must spend considerable time in practice. While being a cheerleader is not an easy job, it is fun to do your part in helping the team. 72 March A« . I 73 i Z2$. MMJiM i mittljt p College is more than classrooms, pro- fessors, and books. It is more than games, dances, and romance. It is an experience in beauty, especially the beauty of a snow-covered campus early in March. These pictures capture both the wonder of nature and the beautiful scenery of the campus. 74 pTiSSk I Religious Activities Committee Phyllis Fox, Don Carter, Shirley Hixson, The Reverend Mr. William R. Smith, III, Mr. William McGill, Dr. F. Heisse Johnson, The Reverend Mr. Wilmer Rohbins, Mary Baugh, Pati May, Barbara Huffaker, Nancy Huff, Richard Rapacioli. This year the Religious Activities Committee has undertaken a more ambitious program in keeping with the growth of the College. They have considered the nature and scope of the religious organizations on the campus and have attempted to re-vitalize these groups. Their outstanding project for the year was Religion-in-Life Week, the most comprehensive activity of its kind ever attempted on the campus. 76 Religion-in-Life March 27-29 Knowledge, Truth, and Freedom: An Adventure in the Christian Faith. With this theme, Dr. George Claude Baker, Jr., McCreless Professor of Evangelism, Southern Methodist University, led the students and faculty of the College in the most ambitious program of religious emphasis and study in the recent history of the institution. With penetrating insight and compelling force, Dr. Baker established the relationship between knowledge, faith, and commitment, always keeping central the meaning and purpose of knowledge within the Christian interpretation of life and history. 77 flHy Mr m a 1 C Ml ; ■ A new feature of the program this year was a group of four seminars led by outstanding leaders in their respective fields on topics chosen by the stu- dents. Professors Myron S. McCay and Robert L. Wilson, of the Departments of Physics and Geology, University of Chattanooga, directed a discussion on Science and the Christian Faith. Dr. Paul E. Brown, Minister, St. Paul Methodist Church, Knoxville, seems to be enjoying an informal discussion with a group of co-eds in Ritter Hall. Each evening members of the team alternated in directing these groups in the principal residence halls. Dr. Brown also conducted a seminar on Basic Christian Beliefs. Perhaps one of the most lively discussions during the week was held in Petty-Manker Hall, following the showing of a film by Mrs. Robert H. Duncan, in connection with her seminar on Christianity and Race Relations. 78 Here Mrs. Duncan emphasizes a point as the stu- dents listen attentively. The Devotional Life is the topic of The Reverend Mr. William S. Steele, Minister, Munsey Memorial Methodist Church, Johnson City, Tennessee. Religion-in-Life Week was under the direction of a student-faculty committee. On Thursday and Fri- day mornings the members of the committee and the visitors met for breakfast, at which time they con- sidered how they might make the program more effective. 79 Student Christian Association First Row: Jo Williams, Nancy Huff, Virginia Lady, Phyllis Fox, Mary Baugh, Barbara Denton, Peggy Burgan, Danes Pelfrey, Carole Lee.

Several new features were added, including tributes to outstanding members of the faculty and staff and stories concerning student leaders on the campus, especially the first students from Tennessee Weselyan elected to Who ' s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. Coverage of Religion-in-Life Week was also unusually effective. 86 Nocatula Staff First Row: Mr. William McGill, Sponsor; Jimmy Bowers, Billy Dean Haley, Barbara Denton, Frank Kennedy, Audrey Wise.

In trying to catch the spirit of the College during this year and to understand the personalities, ideas, and ideals that have brought Tennessee Wesleyan to this high hour, the staff of Nocatula has been given a deeper appreciation of the College and a more exciting vision of her future. If those who see these pages are given a more grateful vision, the staff is happy indeed. 87 Alpha Beta u Tf Front Row: Billie Dean Haley, Dolores Mynatt, Secretary; Nancy Harrison, President; Dwain Farmer, Vice President; Doris Ann Crowell, Treasurer; Louise Orr, Reporter.

Poems on the opposite page were written by members of the Club. 90 College Breezes There cometh forth a mighty wind, It stirs, and lifts, and changes; It plunges us to worlds unknown, It grabs our heart and lets it fall. Our breath it snatches from our lips, Our heart, our lungs, our brain are none — they ' re all Entangled, and bewildered are we, As a leaf blown from a tree. The wind blows so strong, I ' d say It holds us back, turns us away, but For his guidance we do pray As in this game of life we try To reach and reach up to the sky, but We tremble as we saunter down So slowly, slowly, to the ground; but In this college whirlwind, we do not cry As we watch our dreams rise and die. For just a leaf is all we should be; Since, remember — We ' re only a part of the tree. Mary C. Feezell The Sea Night The sea has such a restless soul, Forever sighing, moaning, tossing. It seems in constant fear of losing Its precious contact with the shore. It rushes madly to my feet And sends spray along high rocks. Reaching — trying for those rocks That lie afar, beyond its reach. Then, admitting its defeat, It hurries back to ocean ' s floor. To sob and cry and rise once more To try to kiss the rocks again. Nancy Holman Beyond the dark horizon, Yonder, by those deep blue hills, There shines a bright, defiant star. And the iridescent moon spills Her silver splendor o ' er the sleeping earth. Outside this quiet prison, Without these walls of blackest clouds, The night is beauty . . . invitation . . . And beckons from its misty shroud Of crumbs of twilight and hors d ' oeuvres of morn.

This year the choir was one of twelve choral groups in Methodist churches and colleges of the nation to record for The Prot- estant Hour. 96 Left to Right, First Row: Elizabeth Ann Watkins, Nancy French, Nancy Ball.

The trio has made many such appearances this year and has sung at student functions from time to time. 102 MUSICAL DRAMA -THE LEGEND OF NOCATULA - THURSDAY-FRIDAY, MAY 30-31 r B V - B , J8 i B f H ™ij N : Lull i « Mary Greenhoe and Jack Houts confer with Dr. Claude Almand, Dean, School of Music, Stetson University, Deland, Florida, concerning the orig- inal score for the musical drama based upon the legend of Nocatula. As students, alumni, and friends of the College know, one of the rich traditions of the institution is the legend of Nocatula. This year, as part of the Centennial celebration, the departments of music and drama combined to write and produce an original musical drama based upon the legend. The original play was written by Harry Coble, whose first year as a member of the. faculty of the College has proved unusually demanding and challenging. Music was composed by Mary Greenhoe and Jack Houts, with lyrics by Charlotte Houts. Those who wrote and produced the show were given loyal and en- thusiastic support by students who typed and assembled pages and pages of script and score. The cast was made up of members of the college choir and sets, lighting and other technical work was handled by drama students. Left: Charlotte Houts implores the lyric muse. Right: Harry Coble — playwright, choreog- rapher, director. 103 Members of the cast wrestle with lines and plot as the nights of performance draw nearer — and nearer — and nearer. Dancers work hard as curtain time approaches. 104 Honors Convocation — Alumni Dinner Among the distinguished friends of Tennessee Wesleyan Col- lege is President Edward W. Seay, Pd. D., Centenary College, Hackettstown, New Jersey. A native of Nashville, Tennessee, Dr. Seay was graduated from Peabody College, from which he also received his Master ' s degree. He did additional graduate work at Scarritt College for Christian Workers. In 1951 he was awarded an honorary doctorate by West Virginia Wesleyan Col- lege. He is active in the educational program of the Newark Annual Conference of The Methodist Church, and he is a mem- ber of many professional and honorary societies. During the years that Tennessee Wesleyan has been building the senior college program, President Martin has been encouraged by Dr. Seay ' s constructive interest in the problems and possibilities of the College. Dr. Myron F. Wicke, Associate Director, Section of Secondary and Higher Education, Division of Educational Institutions, Board of Education of The Methodist Church, is no stranger to the campus. Formerly Professor of English, Dean of Men, and Dean of Baldwin-Wallace College, Dr. Wicke has twice lead faculty conferences prior to the opening of the new college year, and he has counseled with members of the administration and faculty on other occasions. He received advanced degrees from Western Reserve University and has done further graduate study at Oberlin College, Columbia University, and the University of Chicago. The College is grateful for the concern of those in posi- tions of leadership in the church and in education as we enter upon a new century of challenge and opportunity. 105 Commencement Baccalaureate Bishop F. Gerald Ensley, of the Iowa Area of The Methodist Church, has earned degrees from Ohio Wesleyan and Boston University and honorary degrees from Ohio Wesleyan, Iowa Wesleyan, and Simpson College. Ordained in 1936, he has served pastorates in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Ohio, and he has been Professor of Homiletics and Systematic Theology in the School of Theology, Boston University. He has been Bishop in the Iowa Area since 1952. He has been a delegate to Jurisdic- tional Conferences, General Conferences, Methodist Ecumenical Conferences, and World Conferences of Methodism, frequently appearing as program speaker. He is a member of several na- tional and international committees on church and educational affairs and the author of John Wesley, Evangelist and Paul ' s Let- ters to Local Churches. He is a member of Omicron Delta Kappa and a 32° Mason. The Honorable Bradshaw Mintener is a graduate of Yale Uni- versity and the University of Minnesota Law School, having studied also at Oxford University and Harvard Law School. He has had a distinguished career in the practice of law and has served in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. He is a member of several civic and religious organizations dedi- cated to the promotion of brotherhood, and he has been honored by B ' nai B ' rith, the University of Minnesota, Macalester College, and Ohio Wesleyan University. An active layman in Hennepin Avenue Methodist Church, he has contributed articles to church and professional journals and has been special lecturer at New York University Law School, University of Minnesota Law School, and the University of Southern California Law School. 106 TH ESSEE WESLEYAN 107 In large measure the story of Tennessee Wesleyan College during the past six years is the story of the faith, the vision, and the courage of President LeRoy A. Martin. Those who have worked with Dr. Martin — faculty, students, and friends of the College — have been challenged and inspired by his leadership. Upon Dr. Martin ' s election to the presidency of the College on March 24, 1950, Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam, then of the New York area of The Methodist Church, made the following statement in a letter to the late Paul B. Kern, Bishop of the Tennessee and Holston Conferences: Dr. Martin is one of the few men whom one can speak about with enthusiasm and without reserva- tion. You will find him thoroughly loyal to your own program and to that of the church, and an individual who will put everything he has into the institution itself. Bishop Oxnam was indeed prophetic, and Tennessee Wesleyan College looks forward to a dis- tinguished future as a senior college. In appreciation, this section of the 1957 Nocatula is dedicated to President LeRoy A. Martin.

The Division welcomed two new instructors and added several courses this year. The Inter-Board Council of the Holston Conference worked with the department in teach- ing a concentrated seminar in Christian Education during the winter quarter. Visiting instructors were members of the Conference particularly qualified in the various areas of Christian Education. The Reverend Mr. Wilmer Rob- bins became a part-time instructor in Bible, and President LeRoy A. Martin taught the course in Christian Ethics and Moral Philosophy, offered this year for the first time. An unusual and valuable addition was the course in Judaism taught by Rabbi Abraham Feinstein of Chatta- nooga. Although new as a lecturer in our classroom, Rabbi Feinstein is no stranger to the campus, since he was for several years the speaker during our observance of Brotherhood Week. F.

Courses in English above the sopho- more level have been added during the past three years and have been worked out by the staff in order to offer a sound and stimulating major in this department. This year, for the first time, a minor is offered in speech and dramatics. Two years of German, French and Spanish are offered, and it is hoped that the addition of another in- structor will soon make it possible to offer a minor in one of the modern languages. A valuable addition to the faculty is Dr. T. G. Richner, formerly of Brothers College, Drew University. The divi- sion is also happy to welcome Mr. Harry Coble, who has had excellent training and wide experience in the fields of drama, speech, and dance. He has worked in the pro- duction, performance, and choreography of several out- standing historical dramas, including Horn in the West and The Lost Colony.

Hutson, the social sciences division was able to expand its curriculum and to look forward to further growth as the College continues to implement the senior program. The division now offers majors in social science, history and government, and business administration and economics. A variety of minors are available within the division. Courses have been added in the fields of general business and accounting. For the benefit of interested persons in Athens and surrounding communities, courses are offered in the Evening College in marketing, statistics and economics. Arthur H. Myers, Ph.B., A.M., B.D.

With the advent of the senior college program, the division has instituted courses leading to majors and minors in chemistry and biology. A special course in physical science has been added for students working toward the bach- elor ' s degree in education. During Mr. Honaker ' s leave of absence, in which he is completing the doctoral degree, the College is fortunate to have Dr. L. C. Jordy, formerly of Brothers College, Drew University, as Professor of Chemistry. Pro- fessor McCoy is another welcome addition to the faculty of this division. Richard M. Johnson, B.S.,M.S.

The curriculum for the bachelor ' s degree in both elementary and secondary education has been approved for teacher certification by the Tennessee Department of Education. The Department of Music offers a minor in voice, organ, or piano. It is planned that construction of the Laura T. Sherman Fine Arts Building will begin in the near future. This building will provide facilities for music, drama, and speech and will make possible an expanded program in these departments. As a part of the Centennial Week activities, the departments of drama and music are collaborating in the writing and perform- ance of an original production based on the legend of Nocatula. In keeping with the aim of administration and faculty to serve the community, the art department offers classes for interested adults and young people of pre-college age, as well as courses and individual instruction for college students. Although no degree program is offered in home economics, there is a wide selection of courses. The department is well equipped, and its enrollment has grown steadily. Rankin Hudson, B.S.

However, no successful project is possible without the encouragement and cooperation of many individuals and groups. To our photographer, Mr. Lavon Riley, we are especially grateful for his enthusiasm, time, and talent, often beyond the call of contract. To our advertisers, who have supported the College in so many ways during the years, we are in real debt. Finally, for the unique personal interest and work of the management and personnel of both Syracuse Lithographing Company and Syracuse Typesetting Company, we say simply, Thank you. 141 2 1 J WSmt £¥ 142 THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK ATHENS TE RILEY ' S STUDIO THE FIN IN PHOTOGRAPHY 143 to ow l u u A1W Jqmmj.
