Abilene Christian College - Prickly Pear Yearbook (Abilene, TX)

Text from Pages 1 - 326 of the 1973 volume:

Home is not a place. nigh which and can never, ne ver go back Prickly Pear Abilene Christian College Editor's Note There are many people who should be given special recognition for their contributions to this book; but the man who influenced me most was Lynn Anderson, then minister of the Highland Church of Christ. The thoughts developed r around his ideas. We tried to put together a yearbook, the value of which would increase as the years passed. We felt the basic purpose of a year- book was to help stimulate the reader's memories of that year. As a result, we chose not to divide the book into traditional sections. Therefore the book is arranged in four cycles which, at the time, seemed to closely parallel the four years of a college experience. The opening sec- tion is a chronological presentation of activities in which all students, but most especially freshmen, participated. The second section is predominately devoted to the social clubs and their related activities since it was not until the sophomore year that a student could become a part of a social club. The next section contains depart- mental activities and areas of student involvement. It was the junior year when students became actively in- volved in their major fields and often it was only then that they started branching out into other areas of involve- ment. The last major section includes those people who made a significant contribution by excelling in their chosen areas. The faculty and senior class can be found in this section. Homecoming is presented in a special section near the close of the book. We felt that this would be most appropriate because it is a unique part of a col- lege experience and it is of great significance to the alum- ni, who are not an active segment of the college com- munity. Our work on the book in the spring of '73 re- volved around these ideas. Our only measure of success is if this book helps you to remember 1972-73 as the spe- cial year it was; or if this book is more meaningful each time you take it from its shelf, wipe the dust from the cover and relive those moments ih your lifetime which we shared together.

My dad shook my hand and squeezed my shoulders; tears filled his eyes and he couldn’t say anything. He drove off and as I boarded the train 1 knew he was crying. I sat there as we pulled out of the station and cried like a child because somehow I knew I was leaving and would never live at home again. I returned during the summers while I was in college and I’ve blown through for short visits when we said hello to each other, but I’ve never really gone back until last summer. Long before I reached the old farm, things began to look wrong. Gravel roads had been replaced and many of the old familiar landmarks had vanished. The old house was in ruins. Standing there in the yard surrounded by weeds was a devasting experience. Blank gaping windows seemed to mock me with empty whispers of the laughter that used to be ... of the simple love that made us one ... of the home that would never be again. For even if the buildings had not decayed it would still have been impossible to go home again. 246 258 272 292 302 314 “Home is no longer a place. It is a spirit, a mem- ory, an experience ...” Every fall young men and women put behind them the secure familiarity of home, never to return again. Destined for a place far from the home they love, they enter the confusion of the college campus. I- STUDENT LIFE Registration: Fragments of a New Experience Are you my roommate?

Now all I have to do is wait in line at the bookstore. Then finally, registration was over. Runoffs HighlightRace; Dean Toney HostsGirls Runoffs in each of the three major Freshman races Allison became President in a closely contested race that also resulted in the election of Pattie Brazell as Vice President, and Jeanine Baker as Secretary. Tim Williamson, Debbie Faulkner, and Cindy Blanton were elected to serve as Freshman senators for the year. Dean Ann Toney's annual reception for girls was held at the beginning of the year. Invitations were sent re- questing all girls to be present for this required” activity. Attendance was checked, the doors locked, and the yearly chit-chat with Dean Toney began. Linda Petty and Joyce Stevens sang to the acid piano of Mike Showalter, while former Miss ACC, Zoe Conner, tripped among the crowded coeds sharing thoughts of her student days. 6-STUDENT STUDENT Pep Rallies Spark Football Optimism With the arrival of the fall semester came the excit- ment of football activity. Home games drew large crowds for weekend fun, while the weekly pep rallies helped carry school spirit right up until, game time. ACC’s first football outing of the year ended in victory, as the Wildcats, in a display of controlled defense, de- STUDENT I - FOOTBALL FOOTBALL- Outstanding Wildcats Earn Individual Honors The Wildcats concluded the football season with a 3-8 record. However the cats could boast the number six passer in the national college dividion - Clint Longley. Senior Sonny Kennedy was named all Conference cen- ter, and received Honorable Mention as a kicker. End Greg Stirman was named to the second team offense, and Phil Martin was named to the second team defense as a linebacker. The cats slid past Arkansas State and provided Homecoming fans an exciting afternoon in spite of the rain which made the game a battle against the mud. The only score, a field goal, gave ACC three points and a long-sought victory. FootbalkSpecialCause of Players andCoaches ORGANIZATIONS- Big Purple A major force in the lives of the students of Abilene Christian College was the sound of the Big Purple. The ACC band directed by Charles Traylor provided spirit and excitement at various events. The Big Purple was characterized by a love for playing music and the shar- ing of fun by the members of the band who came from all areas of the college community. 18-ORGANIZATIONS Stage Band Under the direction of Ed George, the ACC Stage Band delighted the students of the college at several per- formances during the year. Their most remembered performance was at Sing-Song '73 (Lower Right), as they provided accompaniment for the hosts and hostesses. Choralaires and Varsity Chorus Members of Choralaires were selected by audition. Members of this chorus expressed a serious interest Choralaires performed on many occasions during the Many freshmen coming from strong musical back- grounds in high school became members of the large varsity chorus. In it they were able to continue their choral interest. The Varsity Chorus (Lower Middle) is pictured in rehersal for graduation exercises. 24-STUDENT 1971-72 Hilltoppers Give Final Show for ISCC Party Ed George and the 1971-72 Hilltop Singers were guests at the ISCC get-acquainted party for new students and transfers. Performing tunes from their USO show the since disbanded Hilltoppers regrouped for one special concert only. Appearances by the Mabee West Athletic Association, as well other student groups, added an extra bit of excitement to a colorful ISCC get-together. STUDENT i-25 Fall High School Day Highlighted by Cat Claw Derby Bike Races Sunny skies and a bustling crowd of high school stu- dents characterized the annual fall High School Day. Large groups of students attended the running of the Cat Claw Derby, annual bicycle races held in the mall and fountain area of the campus. KACC furnished the music for a lawn gathering and following the day's ac- tivities, a football game with UTA spelled defeat for ACC. The recently chosen Hilltoppers made their debut per- formance on High School Day. They also presented other special concerts on campus throughout the school year. Performing for many area civic groups, business clubs, and community activities the Hilltop Singers provided year-round entertainment both on and off the campus. Members of the group were Dale Martin, Cindy Blanton, Sara Winkles, David Broom, Mark Sorrells, Brown Bannister, Jim Templeton, Alan Wilkerson, Mary Minna, Gary Pigg, Beth Kruse, Susan Compton, and Cindy Lipford. Director for the Hilltop- pers was Ed George. 26-STUDENT teHi 3-ORGANIZATIONS Dormitory Councils Upper Left: Zellner Dormitory Council. Upper Right: McDonald Dormitory Council.

Students returning from Thanksgiving holiday quickly launched a mass effort to complete term papers, late assignments, and last minute tests. Finals week was a mixture of both enjoy- ment and anguish. For some students, as testing schedules permitted, the Christmas adventure began early while others had to suffer through the long and tiresome week until that final Thursday exam. As the dorms closed and the campus emptied, there came a subtle realization that half of the year was over. 40-STUDENT LIFE STUDENT !-STUDENT Snowfall Brings Abilene Belated Christmas Joy Christmas-time on the ACC campus was hardly no- ticed. There was the usual yuletide fanfare and ex- change of seasonal greeting. The Home Economics Club, in an effort to shed Christmas cheer, devised a plan for distribution of gift sacks of goodies for the students on the campus. Through the cooperation of parents, this endeavor helped to finance other projects by the organization. Sultry pre-Christmas weather took a lot out of the season to be jolly. An ice storm dur- ing the vacation period produced a record breaking ten inches of snow for the Abilene area. This did little to excite students living in other parts of the country, particularly the north, where little or no snow fall was reported during the break.

Seventeen dedicated young men worked throughout tha year to organize and acquire the club charter. The to serve others. Freshmen who earned advanced placement in English or made an 'A' in their first English course were invited to become members of Omega Rho Alpha (Upper Right). This honorary Freshmen English society at- tempted to promote the field of English and give its members an opportunity to meet new people. 52-ORGANIZATIONS ORGANIZATIONS-53 1-STUDENT Students Travel Widely During Spring Break Spring break, falling between Sing-Song and finals week, was a welcome nine day pause from the long semester schedule. Vacationing students in search of sunshine or snow were to be found relaxing in Florida, California, and various mountain resorts. Boating, skiing, and sleeping occupied the interests of many students, while the return for the long stretch into finals renewed daydreams of summer and sun. STUDENT LIFE-55 Dinner Theatre Presents “Spoon River”, “Apple Tree” The second in the series of dinner theatre productions was a double feature presentation of The Diary of Adam and Eve” from “Apple Tree , and Edgar Lee Mas- ter's Spoon River Anthology. The performances of- fered a unique entertainment situation in the form of two contrasting dramatic viewpoints, and the dinner- dessert arrangement made for an enjoyable evening. Apple Tree , a humorous account of man's first days on earth, starred Kim Martin as Adam, Jan Kyker as Eve, and Mark Faulkner as the snake. Written from a story by Mark Twain, the play takes a comic look at creation. Spoon River Anthology”, a musical and dramatic adaption of Master's narrative work, portrayed the lives of the dead citizens of a small midwestern town. The play was a serious attempt to describe the mis- Short character sketches in individual roles many times told an entire life story. Portraying a wide variety of characters were Lindy Kyker, Randy Foreman, Becky Palmer, and Wayne Gurley. Musicians for Spoon River included Linda Petty, Lloyd Warner, Danny Jackson, Tanis Lugar, and Curt Cloninger. Directors for both productions were Lewis Fulks. Ted Starnes, and as- sistant director John Duty for “Spoon River” and Jana Sneed for Apple Tree.” 56-STUDENT LIFE STUDENT Freshmen Class Officers: Steve Allison (pres), Jeanine Baker (sec), Patty Brazell (vp), Debby Faulkner (treas), Cindy Blanton (sen), Tim Williamson (sen).

The vacation from the busy college schedule left time for summer jobs, traveling, and relaxation.

INDEX-301 Ilii Alumni Arrive to Rain-Soaked City STUDENT LI 304-STUDENT LI Familiar Faces, Reunions, and Old Friends; the Essence of Homecoming Class reunions and club breakfasts were among the many morning activities of a Homecoming Saturday, as old acquaintances and new faces were greeted with an air of nostalgia. The afternoon football game capped off the day's activities, and Fiddler on the Roof,” ACC’s musical pro- duction, provided evening entertainment. The Freshman class on both Friday and Saturday night produced the highly successful “Freshman Revue,” a musical talent variety show featuring the rock group “Jubal. As weekend guests remi- nised, laughed, and enjoyed themselves, the homecoming experience of 1972 slowly passed into history. Marla Named Queen in Coronation Ceremonies Marla Shahan. Homecoming Queen of 1972, was crowned in traditional ceremonies in Moody Coliseum on Saturday, a senior biology major from Paris exas, became Queen by popular vote of the students. The Homecoming Court in- cluded Martha Connel, Vicki Lale, Karen Swenson, Ginger Cunningham, Janet Warren, Judy Yates, Becky Hindslev. Mary McCaleb, and Ellen Shotts. A halftime presentation in Shotwell Stadium during the ACC-Arkansas State foot- ball game was cancelled due to rain. The game was won by an inspired Wildcate effort with the score ACC, 3, ASU, O. STUDENT LI “Fiddler on the Roof Was Homecoming Musical Abilene's Civic Center Theatre provided the setting for ACC’s fifteenth Homecoming Musical, “Fiddler on the Roof. Long hours of preparation and rehearsal contributed to what was to become the most successful homecoming pro- duction in the history of ACC. The internationally acclaimed and longest running Broadway show was presented to Abilene audiences for a brief three night engagement. October 19-21. Providing the foundation for the play's touching storyline was the part of Tevye, a poor Jewish milkman whose life becomes characterized by challenges to his beliefs and tra- ditions. His wife. Golde, and their three oldest daughters create many problems in the Russian village of Anatevka. as time-honored traditions are defied with new thoughts and notions about life. Director and designer of the production was Lewis Fulks. Technical Director was Ted Starnes. Preparatory work and casting for Fiddler on the Roof took place in the spring of 1972, with set construction and design continuing throughout the summer months. The cast, including princi- pals, dancers, and chorus opened rehearsal two weeks prior to registration in anticipation of an early performance date. was conducted bv Ed George. STUDENT LIFE-309 Stage Newcomers Thrill Record Breaking Crowds Although known for his technical achievements in “Came- l°t • The Sound of Music , and his work on several Sing- Song crews, Jim Vaughan had never before appeared on the ACC stage in a major role in any production. Kris Johnson had similar qualifications. She also had never appeared in an ACC production of any kind, but unlike Jim. had rela- tively little experience in theatre as a whole. Yet, as Tevve, and Golde. the poor Jewish milkman and his wife, these two virtual unknowns to ACC audiences presented three color- ful performances to a warm and receptive sell-out Home- Other newcomers, along with a host of experienced perform- ers, contributed to a smooth and exciting production. The cast, one of the largest ever assembled for an ACC musical, was characterized by a spirit of cooperation and determi- is 312-STUDENT STUDENT Abilene Christian College became home for us. It became a common experience through which we passed and can never, never return. If we try we ll never reach our destination. That elusive El Dorado . . . that memory, which is always better than the reality really was . . . that peace . . . that simplicity of life . . . that wonderful feeling of being at home . . . will never be recaptured. The only experience of the past which makes any sense is the reality of the One who is also of the future, and is now; the One who said “I am the Alpha and the Omega. And we’ll never reach Him by looking back. He shows us the way as we move forward to the outstretched hands of our Lord, waiting to welcome us home. We often long for the “good old days” as we try to take that “sentimental journey” back home to ‘the hill’. But our attempts are futile. The nostalgic sorrow of our visits to an ACC campus, changed by the years of progress, sometimes overshadow the pleasant memories those visits stir with- in us. For we have only memories in the deep recesses of our minds to warm our hearts as the years speed on. This book can only help to refresh these memories, but even it is inadequate to recapture what we experienced together. The year which passed was filled with spe- cial memories which we will cherish for many years to come. We developed close friends who will be valued for the rest of our lives and whose memory and love span the gulf between what is and what might have been. We took the time to share the knowledge and love of God which provides each of us with a hope and an assurance of being together through Him in this life and throughout eternity. He cares and He shows concern. And because He shows concern, we. His people have an obligation to show concern as well. The spirit of our Lord should not evoke in us a sentimental journey back home. Rather it demands that we take a bold and visionary path toward our Christian destiny. God’s call to Christians today is not simply a formal confession of doctrines. What He asks of us is a quality of life that demonstrates to this world that for this brief moment in eternity we are walking with Jesus.
