TENNESSEE WESLEYAN ji .b IVI£.;Nt ' FEIFFER LIBRARY TENNESSEE WESLEYAN COLLEQI iTHENS,TN. 37303 DOUBLE DEDICATION: DORIS BURRUS Dr. Doris Burrus, a native of Tennessee, received her doctoral degree from the University of Tennessee. She attended previous- ly the University of Texas and the University of Kentucky. She decided to return to East Tennessee and wrote her dissertation on Child Development and Attachment. Right now she is putting this dissertation into a short book form. Dr. Burrus has her husband and three dogs, two cats, and one horse, Charlie Dancer, Living with her. She has four children — Scott, Steven, Laura, and Nell. She and her husband, Ross also have one grandson, named Steven. Her hobbies are sailing, horses, needlepoint, and ballet. An important part of her life is her church, the Episcopal Church in Knoxville. She is a lay-reader and a Chalice Bearer. Very few women are allowed to give the communion; but she is one of them and she considers this a high honor. She is a member of the Order of St. Luke which is a study of healing in the church, based on the use of scriptures. At Tennessee Wesleyan she is teaching her sixth year. She teaches Introductory, Abnormal, Child, and Personality Psychology. She began the counseling center the school now has. She and Ross began a small computer corporation called Tennessee Computer Specialties. It is a woman-owned corporation; Dr. Burrus owns more than half of the percentage of the stock. The company provides computers and software for large East Ten- nessee corporations; e.g. Eastman Kodak, Alcoa, and Martin Marietta. It is three years old and doing very well. She calls it Ross ' brain child. She claims to have only intended to stay one year at Tennessee Wesleyan. She now is in her sixth; fortunately for students and staff, her one year has lasted quite a while. OCT 2 . 8? 7- BOTH WOMEN ARE OUTSTANDING! LOUISE HARMS Mrs. Harms was born in Birmingham, Alabama on June 25, 1924. She has earned a B.S. in Library Science from George Peabody College for Teachers. Mrs. Harms first came to Tennessee Wesleyan in September of 1964, as the assistant to the Librarian. July of 1965, she became the director of the Mernier Pfeiffer Library. From the very start, Mrs. Harms has always dreamed of expanding the library. Mrs. Harms stated, We can always use more room, because the school is growing in number, so therefore we are growing and we need all of the extra space that we can muster up. Tennessee Wesleyan is an excellent college. I ' m proud of the education that we give our students. It is staffed with a dedicated faculty and staff, and I am also proud of the success rate our graduates have out in the job market. Mrs. Harms feels that she is leaving at the right time. We are sure that she will miss Wesleyan, but her dream of seeing the remodeling of the Library has become reality now. Mrs. Harms is known for establishing the first audio-visual program at Wesleyan. Future plans for Mrs. Harms will include many changes. I feel good about the new changes, and it is time for me to step down and I wish the new Librarian even greater success in her career than that which I have seen. In my heart, I will miss the students the most of all. Thank you. Mrs. Haims for your dedication and hard worki WE WISH YOU BOTH THE BEST! LADY DAWGS HAVE AN ' Yi - ' Si- y ' A ' m . H: (i„ %m f OUTSTANDING FIRST SEASON — ' ■ .t -■ ' A-; • - ' ,.1 - ' r Coaches Comments: I feel we had an OUTSTANDING first year. Putting together a team from scratch is very difficult, and it is a credit to the determination and hard work of the girls that we were able to post a winning record. Considering the lack of playing expertise of many of our players, I feel that we did very well. All of the women gave their best every game and showed much improvement over the course of the season. With a year to recruit, I can see no reason why next season could not be considerably better. The attitude and hustle of our players combined with the spirit of the fans and support of the administration will make the Lady Bulldogs an exciting part of T.W.C. ' S program for years to come.

The most exciting event of the 1986 Homecoming was the election of Tony Lotti for the representative of the sophomore class. Because of a closed mind at the head of the coaching staff, this historic event never took place. Clearly, it was evident to see that certain influential staff faculty members felt that their precious male egos were in some sort of jeopardy by this coup. Maybe next year, Tonyl Tears of joy filled Karen Campbell ' s eyes as Marty Wild cannot believe that they won. SENIORS Kim Arnold Harrison, Tenn. Chemistry Keith Bailey Etowah, Term.

The Baptist Student Union is open to all denominations. The B.S.U. meets every Thursday for a Home-cooked meal and a devotion. The B.S.U. has participated in several retreats and mis- sion projects. The Fall Convention was held in Knoxville where all of the Baptist Student Unions around Tennessee got together and shared devotions and ideas concerning their beliefs. The Winter retreat was held at Camp Carson where the East Tennessee B.S.U.s got together, and the Spring Convention was held in Nashville. T.W.C.s B.S.U. directed by Lajuana Alexander, prepared a mission trip to New Orleans. Several areas of interest on the trip were the mission project at the Rachel Sims Center where different chores were accomplished and the primary interest was our chance to Street witness on Bourbon Street. The 1986-87 B.S.U. officers were: Pres. T. Bradley, Vice- Pres. Karen Peavyhouse, Treas. Nancy Bowerman, and Fund Raising Coordinator Sarah McCallie. WESLEYAN CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP — FUN Wesleyan Christian Fellowship giew in size and in activities. They went on a retreat to Wesley Woods, started Amnesty International letter writing and heard several guest speakers, including Dr. Doris Burrus and Dr. James Cheek. The Fellowship met every Tuesday evening in the Day Student Lounge. Sometimes movies were shown at Dr. Roberts ' home and once a quarter they have eaten out at a nice restaurant. Dr. Roberts has sent out a schedule of events and colorful posters have helped let everyone know the WCF happenings. TOP; Lisa Stone suffers the ef- fects of low chocolate levels. BOTTOM: Chaplain Sam Roberts took the Activities Night volleyball game seriously. AN ANSWERED PRAYER 46 Fall quarter, Jim Wright prayed that God would use him in some sort of ministry on campus. A short time after his prayer. Jim was in an accident while riding his motorcycle. Life Star was called in to take Jim to U.T. Hospital. For weeks and weeks, what seemed like an eternity, Jim was in a coma. In the short time of merely M of a quarter, Jim touched the lives of many students at Wesleyan. Upon hearing of his accident, a wave of prayer took over the campus. There was constant prayer, but also special group prayer times during the day and In the evening. During many days while Jim remained In the coma, students went to ICnorville to visit him, along with several faculty members too. Through the constant prayers, a miracle brought Jim out of the coma. But the prayers did not stop. Now, we had to pray for recovery. Gradually, Jim ' s strength grew. But, his strength was not the only thing that grew, he had an enormous appetite. Now the road that was ahead of Jim was a long and hard one. He started into therapy after he left the U.T. hospital. The therapy was long and tough. Eventually Jim was given the privilege of leaving the center for the weekend. Many faithful student friends and other friends were able to visit him more often. The visits were a funny sort of thing. Usual- ly, when one goes to visit someone, they expect to bless that per- son. This was not the case when we visited Jim. We all left Jim ' s house after each visit, richly blessed. The warmth and deter- mination in Jims eyes would be enough to mell one ' s heart. Jim ' s mother. Carmen, is and will continue to be a major driv- ing force In Jim ' s recovery. Jim soys, Mom makes me work harder than therapy. Jim ' s sister, Debbie is totally devoted to the recovery of her brother. After her semester at E.T.S.U. end- ed, she transferred to T.W.C. so that she could be here for him. But, let ' s not forget the ever -sensitive Ernie. From the entire Nocotula Staff, we would like to say to Jim, Thanks for the blessing, and hang in there.! Blessing, Jim! SIGMA KAPPA DOUBLES MEMBERSHIP Gamma Psi Chapter of Sigma Kappa is the only national sorority on TWC campus. Sigma Kappa ' s colors are lavender and maroon; their flower is the violet, and theii jewel is the pearl. Officers this year included President, Mary K. Farmer, V-President, Beth Trotter; Secretary, Lisa Baker. Sigma Kappa started off great this year by more than doubling its membership! They also got hold of the best sweetheart on campus — Andy Hightl Other big brothers included: Kevin O ' Shields, Steve Curley, John Duffit, Tom Griffon, Greg Dobbs, Greg Cunningham, Scott Wilkinson, Jeff Rudolph, and Dan Smith. Being a service sorority, Sigma Kappa was involved in many projects dealing with the campus and the community. Some of these involved: going to the nursing home, helping with bloodmobiles, and raising money to help fight Alzheimer ' s Disease. They also sponsored the Salute to the Athletes Dance and helped run the foot- ball concession stand. If you want a great time and a sister for life, join the sisterhood of Sigma Kappa. 47 LITERARY FESTIVAL The literature festival sounded like an English musical this fall. There was a rap session, a bird dance, as well as a visit from God. All of Dr. Wiggins English classes and Pat Water ' s freshman comp. classes per- formed. The freshman class read a poem with Ms. Waters directing in the audience. Dr. Wig- gin ' s freshman class dogged it with classical mythology. The Chorus of the play rapped on about the wall between the two lovers. Pyramic and Thisbe. The Festival closed with a visit by God performing with Dr. Wiggins ' Milton class. They sermonized on how Eve tempted Adam. It was tender and instructive to see how they lost the Pair ' a dice. The afternoon event, a convocation, showed the lighter comic view of the English classes. It helped teach, but it also was very amusing. « WELLNESS DAY: HOW FIT WERE YOU?

There were field events such as the Wheelbarrow race. One night the participants were required to dress for dinner. The men ' s soccer team dressed as the singing raisins, the women ' s basketball team dressed as the football team, the cheerleaders came in Hawaiian attire, and the Sigma Kappa sorority dressed in army outfits. Another event was the ice cream eating contest. Participants were Betsy Fronk, Kathy Pennington, Scott Trigg, Sixtu Su, and Duane Fields. Naturally the men ran away with the title. And finally, who could forget the lip-sink contest. Tim Spitler made an excellent Pee Wee Herman. All of the guys got a real treat when Janine Helle stripped down to her bikini, and the Alpha Xi sorority looked like ladies of the evening while the Sigma performed in boxer shorts. It was a fun filled week which we are sure that no one will ever forget. -n o THE DANCING RAISINS T.W.C. COLLEGE CHOIR This year, the 1986-87 Tennessee Wesleyan Choir sang in several concerts, periormed in Spring Radio program and spent their Spring break visitirtg Nashville, northern east Georgia, and ending up in Panama City. Other concerts performed in the year were a benefit at Ten- nessee Wesleyan College, a convocation at Martin College, and chapel convocations at T.W.C. Their concerts included a variety of hymns, classical secular pieces, re vival music, and show tunes. The group includes a larger variety of people. It is larger than last year and has had to work much harder. In April, they performed a difficult Brahmes requiem with the corrmiunity choir. During the year, the choir has tried to perform for many au- diences as well as help ambassador, in a way for Tennessee Weslayan. The group has enjoyed an eventful and fudl schedule of activities — rehearsals for two hours, secret pals on tour. Spring show, and expected and unexpected road trips. 54 CONSOLIDATION The Consolidation is a group of what is thought to be the most talented students of the College choir. These students are picked by auditions. They sing contemporary pop, rock, jazz, and religious music. Under the leadership of Darnell Chance, the Consolidation has become a household word not only in Athens, but around the mideastem states as well. Members of the Consolidation this year were: Beth Loftis, Angela Lane, Carl Warmouth, Anita Head, Kim Arnold, Keith Bailey, Angle King, Roger Higgins, Bobby Earls, Steve Owens, Mike Hood, Lisa Baker, and Lisa Hunt. -T --, INHERIT THE WIND — WAS IT UNFAIR READ YOUR BIBLE 56 ! 1 1 CAST Rachel Brown Lisa Weaver Meeker Steve Kerley Bertram Gates Andy Might Rev.

The choir hit Nashville, Chattanooga, and Panama City this year. They began the tour with three concerts in Nashville and then moved southeast. The choir toured the capital building and went shopping in Atlanta. The day in Panama City ar- rived with rain; nevertheless, they did get to walk along the beaches, wade in the ocean, and play hackysack. The students gave up their spring breaks to recruit for the school and perform. They also got to see Nashville, Chattanooga, Atlanta, and Panama City. The possible recruiting make one bear giving up spring break. All in all, this year ' s tour went well in representing TWC and in sightseeing Georgia and Florida. It made sing- ing in the rain a memorable experience. Physical Education Majors and Minors The Physical Educational Majors and Minors Club was started in the fall of 1985. This club was designed in order for majors and minors of Physical Educa- tion to get together and share their techniques and their experiences. Their faculty advisor is Betty Keim. The of- ficers were: President: Karen Saffles, Vice president: Kathy Pennington, Treasurer: Paul Ehrenfeld, and S.G.A. Representative: Sammy Perkinson. The Physical Education Majors and Minors worked all winter quarter in order to prepare for the annual HiUbilly Ho-Down. BAPTIST STUDENT UNION SCORES HIGH WITH GOD!

Don Winham coached the team Wednesday afternoons reading practice sets of questions. During the year, the team attended three tournaments. Two of these turned out to be very successful; the first, they came out the best new team of and In the last tournament, they came out fifth. Both successful tournaments were held in Atlanta — Emory and Georgia Tech Universities. The College Bowl sponsored a high school tournament held at TWC during visitation weekend. This tournament was a good op- portunity for future college bowl recruiting for TWC. The first year of buzzers, minus 5 ' s, bonus questions and toss- ups has given the team a humorous, yet revealing glimpse into the world of algebra to zoology. The team earned bonus points for the school and met some very unforgettable people. % ' ' ' m Back Row: Keith Murphy, Betsy Fronk, Gary Butler, Morris Melton, and Jennifer Sutton.

According to the charter, the purpose of the club is to help to meet the needs of the adult student in and on- campus in such areas as student loans, grants, and child care, and also to work as a basic support group for the older student. New officers were: David Schenck, president; Priscilla Gregory, vice-president, student representative; Brenda Norman, vice-president of student activities; Sherri Govan, vice-president of student issues; Yvorme King, secretary; Resa Byrd, treasurer; Dr. Genevieve Wiggins, faculty advisor.

MAC FRAMPTON VISITS WESLEYAN MAC FRAMPTON CONCERT Mac Frampton, the renowned South Carolina pianist, played in Townsend Auditorium April 3. Mr. Frampton has the three talents of composer, arranger, and definitely performer. He gave his all for the audience as he played classical and popular music. He says he enjoys both kinds of music and offers to give the best of the two. Some of the songs he played were: To Music — I Write the Songs, Bolero, Ain ' t Misbehaving and a medley of Disney tunes. He bases each concert on his audience. In the second half, he took requests from the audience. The concert gave the students of Tennessee Wesleyan and the residents of Athens a chance to enjoy a versatile and talented performer. After a snow ' s postponement, he was worth the wait. 68 S.G.A. — THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS The Student Government Association is the legislative student body which is made up of student officers and student representatives. This governing body tries to decide each year how to best spend the fees which are collected. This year the S.G.A. supported the Alpha XI Christmas shopping for needy local children, bought microwaves for the Girl ' s dorm, helped finance the shrub arrangement at the new baseball field, and sponsored many dances as well as the annual trip to Six Flags. The S.G.A. officers were: President — Marty Wild, Treasurer — Karen Campbell, and Secretary — Dawn Johnson. 69 THE AMBASSADORS 5 9 V  . ■ - iIUp r ,-- ' ' i:j . -• f :? 70 THE MASOUED PLAYERS There is no group picture of the Masqued Players due to the fact that Mr. Whiting did not feel that he could get the entire membership together at one time. It is apathy such as this which takes away from the final effect of an an- nual. Maybe next year the sponsor will try to get at least some of the group and settle for a little rather than the whole. 71 1 . -■•iiS:.- V .-« ta i RECONSTRUCTION Hammers hammering . . . saws buzzing . . . cranes lifting . . . dirt mov- ing ... Is Tennessee Wesleyan being moved? Is it being rebuilt? Everyone on campus as well as off campus has probably noticed the renovations on some of the buildings, the new fields and the Memer- Pfeiifer Library. The library now has beautiful purple carpet, an elevator, and two spiral staircases. All of the construction presently finished has been done in lightening speed. Hopefully the downstairs will be finished as quickly and look just as nice. Durham Hall has had minor, needed repairs. A new window and new air conditioner have been installed. Also a classroom on the fourth floor has been renovated. Outside, improvements have been made: the old football field, a NEW one and a new baseball field past Centennial Hall on the hiH. The wall by the administration building was repaired and College Street was black-topped, giving that part of the campus a needed boost. The many repairs and remodelings cause much excitement from faciilty and students; things are happening at Tennessee WesleyanI Despite some inconveniences, the many improvements help en- courage new students and show the more experienced students the college is making progress. 72 THE RETURN OF THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN JUST A WORD FROM JIM AND HIS FAMILY, TO ALL Dear Fellow Students: As you all know, I was in a severe motorcycle wreck November 1 0th, and sustained bad head injuries and a broken back. I know now that I am thankful just to be alive. This whole fight has been more psychological than physical, and 1 thank you aU for accepting me just the way 1 am. I know that now 1 am slower and forgetful, but that will all come in time. I can ' t wait till next year either! I ' ve got a lot to talk about! Love, Jim (Wright) A NOTE FROM THE FAMILY We, the family of Jim, want to extend our deepest and warmest thanks to aU of you, the students, faculty and staff, who, through love, support, and prayers have helped not only Jim but us as a family get through this period of our lives. Jim made the comment last night that he now had a handle on this situa- tion. What he was saying was that he had been trying to shoulder the burden himself, instead of letting God do the heavy work. With faith like that, com- bined with sheer hardheadedness and support from all of you, how can he lose! GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU JIM ' S FAMILY (Carmen, Ernie and Debbie) 74 FINALLY — JUSTIFIED WINNERS!

WESLEYAN FOOTBALL TEAM FALLS SHORT -«J e Once again, the Football team had a rough season. Led by Ken Henry, the football team had a losing season of 0-10. Players that were specifically recognized were John Allen for his great defense and as a leader. John Arnwine played both on the offense and the defense, and proved to be an outstanding player at all capacities. Tab Carpenter was also noted as playing outstanding in all capacities especially his offense. But, as always, all of the players who stayed with the team and gave it their all deserve to be recognized. Maybe if there had not been so many injuries, the team could have had more accomplishments.

The 1986-87 Bulldogs won 18 and lost 16 with a very young team. The season had many ups and downs. The Bulldogs were led by senior guard David Scott and senior post Ken Burse. Scott, who averaged 19 points per game, made the All-Conference, All-District, and All-Conference All Star Teams. He also led the Con- ference and District in free throw percentage, making 87.3%. Ken Burse averaged 18.1 points per game. Juniors Derrick Akal and Mike Wilson also led the team in points. Akal averaged 13.5 points per game and Wilson averaged 12.5 points per game. 94 Front Row: Coach Dodgen, David Scott, Terry Browder, Phil Pipp enger, Elston Beal, James Whitson, Cassius Watkins, Steve Lewis, Derrick Akal, and Marty Wild. Back Row: Christopher Cheek, Gary Amos, Tim McConnell, Mike Wilson, Ken Burse, Chris Moore, Ronnie Woods, and Sammy Perkinson. LADY DOGS FINALLY TOP C.N. EAGLES! Back: Mgr. Kathy Pennington, Stacy Hutsell, Janine Helle, Karen Saffles, Flhonda Pickett, T. Rene Howard, Karen Campbell, and Coach Stan Harrison. Front: Connye Crockett, Candy Kirkland, Jackie Barnhart, Jayne Wallin, Karen Meeks, Sharmin Rot erts, Denise Borden, and Susan Laws. The Lady Bulldogs had a slow start, but had a very successful season. They won a total of twenty games which is a great ac- complishment no matter what college it is. The team qualified for the district playoffs, only to be beaten by Carson Newman in a very poorly refereed game. Outstanding players included: Stacy Hutsell with 16 pts. per game, 4 rebounds, and an 80% free throw record. Stacy made her mark as the second all time leading scorer with 1417 career points. Karen Camp- bell averaged 14 pts. per game, 8 rebounds, and averaged 59 percent from the field. Karen Saffles averaged 12 pts. per game with 6 rebounds. Senior Rhonda Pickett put in an excellent Senior season, and would have done even better if she had been given the chance to prove herself. That is the problem with keep- ing so many players, the players that have the potential never get their chance because of the coach ' s favorites. We think you did a great job Rhondal The Season was highlighted by the electric win over Carson Newman with a tight score of 66-65. The Lady Dogs finished with a 13-5 district record which is the third best ever. 96 WOMEN ' S TENNIS: A FIGHTING EFFORT ' III t f f r wLTWtt It r t ' ■ -i- J , • i • uw i t rf4-  - t--t r: . -•««??• •- ♦-• ■ — f- f ■■ 98 The members of the fightin g Lady Bulldog ' s Tennis team were: Rebecca Morgan, Mary Farmer, Jayne Wallin, Pamela Barefield, Janine HeUe, and Malinda Tate.

This was the first time in 1 years that the Bulldogs did not make the playoffs. The Bulldogs could not put it all together for any extended period of time. They had no winning streak of more than 2 games at any time this season. The BuUdogs played qxiite well, usually losing by only one or two runs. In this tough season there were some highlights. The biggest being an 8-5 victory over The University of Tennessee. This was the first time in 5 years that the Bulldogs beat the Vols. Other bright spots were senior Ed Terzek ' s no-hitter against Milligan College, junior catcher Tom Griffon hitting .351, junior first baseman Rob Holt hit .312, with 6 homeruns, 29 RBl ' s, junior Jim Janzen hit .318 and scored 24 runs, and junior Ron Hayes hit .3 1 with 3 homers. Three Bulldogs made the All Conference Team, they were: Rob Holt, Tom Grilfen, and Ed Terzek ( 1 st base. Catcher, and Pitcher resp)ectively ). Off the field the Bulldog Baseball Team hosted the first ever, Baseball Card Show featuring ex-BuUdog and present Cincirmati Red pitcher, Tom Browning. The show was a huge success with over 500 people in attendance. The baseball team made enough money to sod the infield and foul areas on their new baseball field which is still under construction. It Doesn ' t Matter If You Win Or Lose, It ' s How You Look Doing It!!! . ' , ' A s A The Lady Bulldogs suffered a disappointing 1-26 season in 1987. However, there were several reasons for optimism in future seasons. Freshman Mandy Gutridge, who pitched aU 27 games, had several good outings, including a no-hitter in the victory over The University of the South. Freshman LaDonna Clemmer saw duty at both shortstop and Catcher, and led the team in hitting with a .277 average. Freshman Becky Myatt played solidly all season, and led the team in runs scored. Freshman centerfielder Vicki English developed into an outstanding defensive outfielder, and senior in- fielder Teresa Gardner displayed great hustle and spirit all season. Coach Geeter and the Lady BuDdogs hope that the lessons learned this season, combined with a good recruiting year, will bring success in the future. 103 BULLDOG SOFTBALL From Row Kimaiee Jones.

PUBLICATIONS SPRINGS OF HELICON NEW EXPONENT NOCATULA — . T rr - r T7-VA ]VJ . xxN The Springs of Helicon: Photography, Art, Poetry and Short Stories Springs of Helicon is the campus literary magazine and annually publishes original poetry, fiction, essays, art work, and photography by students at Ten- nessee Wesleyan. This magazine is compUed and edited by students and has as its chief purpose the recognition and encouragement of creativity. The 1986-87 editor was Beth Trotter Loftis. Dr. Genevieve Wiggins serves as advisor. The Annual staff would like to apologize for the fact that there is no picture for the Springs of Helicon. Due to conflicting times of the students schedules, we were unable to get everyone together for a staff picture. Sorry! We will be more efficient next year. Dr. Wiggin ' s Baby — The New Exponent The New Exponent is the official student newspaper of Tennessee Wesleyan. This publication covers campus events and serves as a forum for the expression of student opinion. News stories, editorials, and features are written by students. Don Chance was the 1986-1987 editor. Dr. Genevieve Wiggins serves as advisor. Once again, the annual staff would like to apologize for the fact that no picture of the New Exponent staff appears on their page this year. Maybe next year, Dr. Wiggins! 109 THE NOCATULA STAFF THE FEARLESS LEADER JENNE BEACH SOME PEOPLE NEVER CHANGE GARY BURGESS AND NANCY BOWERMAN r i ' 1 TIJUANA BRADLEY KELLI CAMPBELL BECKY MYATT no BETSY FRONK ONE BIG SIGH OF RELIEF — GRADUATION On June 6, those four (or more) years of hard work finaUy came to an end for the Wesleyan class of 1987. Now, they have all headed off into the real world, following their own separate paths. Some of them have more schooling to look forward to. Others see the cold, cruel 9:00 to 5:00 looming over the horizon. Whatever lies ahead for the class of ' 87, let ' s hope that they can always look back on their time at Wesleyan with warm feelings. They can remember those close, special moments that they shared at Teeny Weeny Col- lege, like Thursday nights at the bowling alley and ' Dawgin it ' at the basketball games. Sure, there were times that weren ' t so good (dinner time, for instance) but those memories will fade with time. The good times will remain forever in the form of a twinkle in the eye or an unexplainable grin that flashes across the face and then disappears. Whatever may become of the members of the class of ' 87, they will always have their memories of the good times at Wesleyan to guide them onward to bigger and better things. Good luck and God be with yo u all. Ill THE FINAL NOTE FROM THE EDITOR Boy, last year ' s Editor ' s note sure created a stir! It seems as if the truth hurts, so why print it? The three years that I have been editor, I have made a point of keeping honest and preserving the memory. Why should I have to stop now because a few toes have been stepped on? At the beginning of the year, I heard a very recent TWC graduate say to another student, Don ' t let this year ' s Editor ' s note turn out like last year ' s! Well, that ' s too bad, I ' m still honest this year! I would like to thank all of those faculty members who helped the staff with their difficult job: George Miller — our advisor, Louise Trotter — for lots of advice and for handing out last year ' s an- nuals, Vicki Blair and Melin da HiUman — for providing negatives which we needed, and all of the rest of the faculty and staff who cooperated with us. I would also like to thank the students who were always there when they were scheduled to be. This past year, as well as serving as Annual Editor, I was also a staff writer for the New Expo- nent. I wrote the famous news from Keith Hall, as well as several letters to the editor. It was not my intention, nor was it my desire to embarrass the college as an institution or the higher ups. However shocking the conditions might have been, I felt that it was my right as well as my duty to report the events that were in question. I would like to apologize to the higher ups for putting them in an awkward position. However, I refuse to apologize for being blunt and out spoken in my honest y. For the sake of Tennessee Wesleyan College, I sincerely hope that some other student will follow in my footsteps and keep the college on it ' s toes — Literally!! Was that too negative?
