The staff is composed of any students who do conscientious work in journalism and who wish to work on the staff. This year, stepped up to a bi-weekly publication, the editor and staff have done a commendable job on presenting the current campus news to the student body and presenting previews of the de- velopments that are rapidly carrying the college forward.

The four Ionic columns bear the names Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Athens Female Academy was established in 1822, three years after the admission of Alabama into the Union. In 1844 it was expanded to a four year college. In 1843 the Alabama legislature granted a charter incorporating the Athens Female Institute of the Tennessee Annual Conference of the Method- ist Church. In 1870 the college was transferred to the North Alabama Con- ference. The institution became co-educational in 1931 and the name was changed to Athens College. Athens College is one of the oldest institutions in the South and has operated uninterrupted through epidemics, depres- sions and wars. As Athens College continues to grow, we truly have a tra- dition and history to keep and one of which we can be equally proud. p 1 M I ' e - IS ¥i r -. •■- ■ ■H i- k d McCandless Hall, erected in 1912 and named for Miss Kate Leslie McCandless.

Future construction plans are still in the embryo stage. But ever dynamic Ath- ens College meets demands with action and expansion. A welcome complement to the campus is a bulletin board donated by the class of 1964. This board provides an ex- cellent media for communicating pertinent information. In the future a bookstore will be established in the basement of Naylor Hall that will have available paperback books in addition to textbooks. 1 4 The Storehouse of Knowledge . . . The Library The present library is located in Founders Hall and although it is well equipped its facilities are not adequate. Under the guidance of Miss Carson and Mrs. Horn, librarians, students find abundant material for ref- erence and research. !22 Plans are being made for a completely renovated and expanded library in which students will be able to research material under more favorable conditions. Separ- ate study rooms will be provided in the library for such subjects as: art, music, history, math, science and philosophy. 123 «) «6 i ' . m ' % toj wSt REDI- ' Waters Hall, a modern structure at the east end of the campus, contains the math and science class- rooms and the laboratories. Each of the labora- tories is well supplied with the equipment needed for observation, examination, experimentation, and research. The department of math and science is headed by Dr. W. A. Short. Mrs. J. D. Rosenau Rev. Louis H. Evans Chapel Senator John D. Sparkman 126 Athens College, being a church related institution and having numerous active Christian organizations on campus, considers the spiritual life of the student as important as the social. In order to provide a forum the students convene one hour each week on Wednesday mornings between classes in McCandless Hall auditorium for a Chapel program. The weekly program is opened with prayer and a brief word of inspiration. A hymn may or may not be sung. The guest speaker is then introduced and the lec- tern is his for the subsequ ent thirty or forty minutes. Included on the Chapel agenda for the previous year were political addresses, musical renditions, inspira- tional messages, and various speeches covering subjects from health to future employment. 127 Athens College not only caters to every facet of the student ' s personality, she also proudly confronts her students with a wrath of academic opportunity. Each department boasts qualified and competent professors, modern equipment, and up-to-date materials. Here at Athens College the needs of the whole man are recognized and filled. 128 129 1 r r ■ t i fl 1 ' :___■ r ' •3 BP Tli y ™ ™™ W B V fllV ____ . B ' ' -«!«M!l 4Bfli r, -T -.

THE BEARS IN ACTION The Athens College Bears are winners in the Alabama Col- legiate Conference this year and are hoping to enter the NAIA tournament . in Kansas City. Two years ago the basketball team made an impressive showing in the NAIA competition. The excellent sportsmanship evidenced by the boys and the spirit of cooperation among the players are prominent factors contributing to the team ' s phenomenal success this season. Inspired by the accomplishments of the Bears the Athens Col- lege students have rallied behind them and cheered the team on to further victories.

This, endurance test taxes not only one ' s resourcefulness as in schedule manipulation and one ' s ingenuity as in divining where to go and when but also one ' s patience, stamina, and general state of health. If a naive, unsophisticated freshman can survive the trial of registration, he has cleared his first hurdle in preparing himself for life in which one may expect the unexpected. Rats as the freshmen are traditionally and affectionately known are the lowest form of life on a campus. To them are assigned the commonest and most menial tasks which they are compelled to cany out without complaint and occasionally with expressions of joy at being able to sei ve. A rat ' s excuse for being is to entertain his betters, the upperclassmen. Any reason- able request must be fulfilled upon demand — regardless of how embarrassing it may be for the participant. To the relief of the freshmen RAT WEEK lasts only 7 days and is climaxed by a sock hop in honor of the newly initiated freshmen. 156 Shine those shoes rat! At one minute after 12:00 rat week begins.

On one day the Rats came to classes dressed as their favorite fairy tale character. Another memorable evening was devoted to the pajama parade. ju .z: . 2ab£a Pajama Parade and Shaving Cream Battle Many times a Freshman may wonder if it ' s really worth it but any upperclass- man with a good memory can assure him that it is.

RAT WEEK participation is carried out on a strictly voluntary basis and is governed by strict rules formulated by the SGA. Although a rat may be on call twenty- four hours a day, it is all in fun and a part of college adjustment and orientation. Toward the end of the week a Mr. and Miss Rat are elected as best representative of the freshman in RAT WEEK. When all is over but the shouting any RAT will tell you it was really fun. Congratulations Rat, you made it. Plays The dramatic department has not been idle. First major production of 1964 was All the Way Home, a prize winning play adapted from the Pulitzer prize winning book A DEATH IN THE FAMILY by James Agee. The most am- bitious and successful production of the year was a Robert Mulder version of Learner and Lowe ' s musical Camelot. This musical featured both amateur and professional actors and musi- cians. Doggone costume. 162 Lefs Dance From sockhops to Sadie Hawkins dance the campus rocks with music. Dances, seemingly weird and ecstatic interpretations of tribal rites, include the DOG, the MONKEY, and the WATUSI. All that is needed for a swinging evening is a stack of platters, a turn table, and a room full of students abounding with energy. 163 164 166 The Beauty Ball The most formal and most impressive dance of the year is the Beauty Ball held at Christmas. At this time the Beauties and favorites which will be pictured in the annual are presented. For this occasion an orchestra plays, a leadout is staged, and all the girls wear floor length gowns. The decorations for the Beauty Ball are always most elaborate and may or may not feature the Christmas motif. 167 Those who do much work and reap little glory are the students on the social committee. Laborers to decorate the Armory must be recruited and since materials are at a premium talent is an important factor. This is one quality which Athens College has an abundance of. 168 The Judges, Judy Short, Mrs. Redden, and Mrs. O ' Neal. The Beauty Review The girls who are represented in the Beauty Review are elected from the various classes and organi- zations on the campus. The girls are then eliminated through interviews and careful scru- tiny until the elect few that remain are the Beauty and the Favorite rep- resentatives for the annual, and are presented at the ball which is in their honor. What question did they ask you? The Beauties!

Falling in the latter category are the teas given each quarter at the president ' s home hosted by Dr. and Mrs. McCain. These teas afford an occasion for students to become better acquainted with the faculty, administration and their fel- low students. U ' l iif v ■ 180 «!«S!aBPrT — ' ■ ai y. i Dr. Pabts?

The time must eventually come when the bridge cards are carefully packed away and the students dis- engage themselves from their social obligations and en- gage in more serious pursuits. Only when the student has tired of bridge, gossip, dances, and day- dreams will he have occasion to complain of boredom. This is a dangerous confession, however, for it is a dull, shallow man who becomes bored with himself. Not hotdogs again. 184 I !86 W} ■44 , f % I 187 This is the end. 188 Where to Look.
