In 1822 the citizens of Athens purchased from Judge McKinley a five- acre plot of ground to be used for a female academy. In 1831 Judge Mckinley deeded another five-acre lot to Robert Beaty. All this land was later to become a part of Athens College campus. As the academy prospered, leading Methodists in the area encouraged its enlarge- ment to a four-year college. A Methodist Conference in 1842 adopted a resolution calling for the establishment of a female institute of high grade. The town of Athens enthusiastically donated in less than three weeks, the required $10, 000 to be- gin work on the building - today known as FOUNDERS HALL. Athens CoUege students today, in this moon- walking era, accept enthusiasm as a powerful force in life and greet the davv n with enthusiasm and expect satisfaction at sunset. How much is a sunset worth? A sunrise? These are things that have no price. Their only value is what they do for us. Each of us has just so many sunsets and sunrises. Let us learn to appreciate them each day. Education, Ph. D ' s, varsity sports - national criteria for college selection; yet, professors, texts, and buildings are not sufficient. All colleges offer these; Athens College challenges the student to use them. GATEWAY TO REDSTONE ARSENAL ... a proving ground for Athens College community where learning reaches beyond the classroom and facts and theories pre- sented in formal discussions demand application to surrounding life. NEW LIBRARY ADDITION Our belief at the beginning of a doubtful undertaking is the one thing that assures the successful outcome of that adventure. (i A comrade breathed a breath of life into a friendly corner, began Dr. Luther Gobbel at ground breaking ceremonies for the new library building, thus encouraging this growing Christian institution of higher education. Dr. Gobbel and Mr. Dick Martin, chairman of the construction committee for the building, smile their appreciation with a hundred other enthusiastic bystanders. Weatherworn bricks stand as a monument to our past; our everchanging face with its additional 75, 000 volume capacity library building, girls new dorm complex, and contracts in hand for other expansions, signals the presence of our growing college I II Is m J THE PRESIDENT ' S HOME Built in 1822 by an Athens founder Colonel Beaty, the President ' s Home stands tall, spacious, and classic on tree- lined South Beaty. As generations changed and elm plants grew to towering beauties and magnolia sprouts reached lofty summits, the Beaty structure became known as the Mary Mason House. From this source, Athens College became owner, and today after a job of landscaping, redecorating, and modernizing, The President ' s Home proudly lifts its prestigious head among its historical peers. Students and faculty share punch and tea at receptions and dinner parties. Dr. and Mrs. Carl Martin greet students at the reception for summer graduates. Students, rushing from the giant College Union building housing post office, bookstore, publications offices, billiard room, television salon, art gallery, college offices, lobbies, cafeteria, snack bar with luncheon area, quiet room for coffee breaks, banquet rooms, and conference rooms, students enter McCandless Hall where they study music, drama, or art and hear dramatic productions, music concerts, and guest artists ' lectures. McCandles is another four-storied, brick structure encompassing auditorium, balcony, stage, concert organ, concert grand, studios, offices, and basement for craftsmen. Leaving the library building, students, faculty, and secretaries stride across shade, shadow, and sunlight to the post office or tssEirtSsa s? ' to the busy cafeteria building where its huge dining and serving areas and offices are undergoing repainting and rew axing. WATERS HALL A new three-story red- brick building housing the physics, the chemistry, the biology, and the math departments with laborator- ies, classrooms, and offices for all. BROWN HALL, built in 1909 in memory of Miss Sara Frances Brown, with its Corinthian columns is another historical landmark in Alabama. This famous structure has been remodeled into a modern office building for campus connected personnel. II i MlksSa Athens College Dorm Complex includes North, South, East, and West dorms. Each of these dorms has spacious living areas as well as air conditioning. 12 McCAIN HALL is a girls ' dorm with twenty-five two-room suites. McCain is of contemporary colonial design. SUMMER TREE Springtime SANDERS HALL is another dorm for girls. It can accommodate seventy- five women and was built as a memorial to W. T. Sanders, former president of the Board of Trust. 13 The Health and Physical Education Center boasts a seating capacity for over 3, 000 persons, as well as a dance studio, and an official competitive-sized swimming pool with specta- tor gallery. The College has an athletic field and all-weather tennis courts adjacent to the center. smm....i;:---m m« ' .- ' - i ' ' i---. -;;Ttv, - ' BEAR DAY PROCLAIMED Mayor Bobby Higgins, seated, hands Coach Oba Belcher, left, a pen after signing a proclamation de- signating Saturday, Nov. 22, BEAR DAY in Athens.

ALVIN DOW POWERS WING OF THE COLLEGE LIBRARY DR, ALVIN DOW POWERS Occasions arise, began Dr. Gobbel as Alvin Wilson, grandson of the late Dr. Powers, unveiled the brass marker, when colleges like Athens have the rare opportunity to express appreciation for benefactions and to honor the memory of a distinguished benefactor. First, he gave himself, identifying himself with the services and well-being of a great and undying institution - the church, and one of its revered educational institutions. He invested his substance where his heart was. His professional achievements are attested by his membership in the county, state, American, and world medical associations. So Athens College expresses appreciation and names the new unit of its library building for the one whose benefactions made it possible: Dr. Alvin Dow Powers. A salute to the Friends of the Athens College Library Committee, under the leadership of Mrs. LeGrand C. Wilson, Jr., who has contrib- uted, since its organization on October 21, 1969, books and money amounting to over $11, 000. 16 Dr. Gobbel, Mrs. A. D. Powers and daughters Mrs. Stanley Ames of Rochester, New York, and Mrs. LeGrand Wilson, Jr. , of Athens, receive standing ovation from the audience. Mrs. Ben Peck pours punch for guests after the dedication. Dr. and Mrs. Gobbel greet friends and guests for tea in Founders Parlor. 17 ACADEMICS 18 THE INTERIM PRESIDENT DR. LUTHER L. GOBBEL THE LOOK AHEAD That Athens College is now set up well for the future appears not to b e a too optomistic assessment, for Dr. Gobbel has concluded a most active year as interim president of Athens College. Aside from the exacting duties of his position, Dr. Gobbel has been called upon to perform pre- stigious services on significant occassions. One of the highlights of the year was Dr. Gobbel ' s attendance, as ' President of Athens College, at the annual meeting of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in December of 1969, at which time Athens College accredi- tation was reaffirmed. Still other achievements for Athens College as a result of this man ' s determined zeal is the construction and furnish- ing of the DR. A, D. POWERS wing of the library building and the founding of Friends of the Athens College Library. This Look Ahead of Athens College may help recall the words of Charles F. Kettering: Nothing ever built arose to touch the skies unless some man dreamed that it should some man believed that it could and some man willed that it should. MARTHA PORTER Secretary to the President 20 Dr. and Mrs. Gobbel enjoy student entertainment with Dean Rankin, Mrs. York, and Prof, and Mrs. Colane. President Gobbel participates in Athens College award winning excitement when Linda Miller is named Miss Friendship of Athens College. 21 THE INTERIM DEAN COL. THOMAS A. RODGERS A NEW CHALLENGE Col. Thomas A. Rodgers assumed responsibili- ties as interim dean of Athens College with renewed vigor and interest. His fields are administration and mathematics. But please God they are unfenced fields and are tangential to a hundred others, as valid educational fields should be. Today as never before in the history of man the extremes touch each other, and no single field can exist in isolation. As an expert in his fields, Dean Rodgers is an inspiration to students and to faculty with the door to his office open for creative ideas in which students, faculty, and administrators together turn textbook knowledge into valuable, viable concepts to use long after semesters end. Under the efficient leadership of Dean Rodgers, ranking scholarship has been maintained in the academic program at Athens College. BECKY BUTLER Secretary to the Dean 22 The Dean aids Bob Harris with the buttons and tassels of his cap and gown. Col. and Mrs. Rodgers enjoy the student concert and entertainment for the Beauty Ball. Dean Rodgers, Mr. Ballew, Col. Holmes, Mr. Young, and Mr. Nichols along with about two luuidred other enthusiasti onlookers smile their appreciation for Mr. Hendricks ' groundbreaking technique. 23 DR.

It is being curious, observant, imagina- tive, that they may build an ever in- creasing fund of knowledge of the universe . . . for EDUCATION is a companion which no misfortune can depress; no crime can destroy; no enemy can alienate. It is the Senior who knows that at home, edu- cation is a friend; abroad, an introduction; in solitude, a solace. They have learned, too, that education chastens vice and guides virture.

Waters Building, a modern three-story structure of red brick housing the biology, the chemistry, the physics, and the math departments, where engineering enthusiasts hear A, C. science experts an d Redstone specialists thunder that there will always be a frontier where there is an open mind and a willing hand. A pre-freshman contestant at the Fiddlers Convention relaxes to tunes of old time music. Freshmen share the contemporary classics of music greats and dramatic unforgettables of McCandless Hall, erected in 1912 by local citizens and the North Alabama Conference of the Methodist Church as a memorial to a former director of music Miss Leslie McCandless. McCandless boasts an audi- torium equipped with pipe organ and full, profes- sional stage. Studies and classrooms are provided for the drama, the art, and the music departments. 72 PRESIDENT ' S HOME: In 1822 Colonel Beaty, one of the founders of Athens, built a magnificent brick building on South Beaty Street for a plantation homestead. As the seasons passed and generations changed, the Beary homestead became known as the Mary Mason house. From this family source, Athens College became owner; and through a complete job of redecorating, modernizing, and landscaping, it has become the spacious, classic home of the president. Here under the spreading magnolias, chestnuts, and elms freshmen are presented to Athens College ' s society. This is not history-making, yet freshmen learn at Athens College that great men in all fields of human endeavor have been known for their mental receptivity. General as well as social knowledge is essential to creative achievement. Too, the open mind, free from prejudice and self-centeredness, is the well-informed mind because it is ready to view a subject from any angle, to accept demonstrable truth from any source. SCHOLARSHIP AWARDED Athens College Women ' s Club presented their 1969-1970 scholarship to Miss Delores Hogan, left, a freshman at Athens College. Making the presentation is Miss Angeline Nazaretian, presi- dent, and Mrs. Charles West, chairm an of the scholarship committee. 73 Stuart Adams Robert Altman Jane Ayers Jim Baldino Charles Bartlett Linda Belcher Clifford Bradford Greg Brockunier Karen Bruch Freda Burgreen Steven Campbell Christopher Cane David Cerota Susan Cory David Coyle Judy Creekmore Rita Cristinziano Lennie Dennis Joe DiPietro William Dobbs 74 w © Mark Dome David Drowlette Dominic Ezzi Jacque Findley Carol Finkenstadt Dennis Fisler Adelyn Garnett Malcolm Forst Mark Freiser David Freas t Linda French Richard Galante Harold Garner Robert Goodman Patricia Goodloe ' Paul Grassman Walter Goeke Leonard Gossett James Hays Oliver Harris Mary Harvey Nancy Hendrix Larry Hereford Alan Herman Ann Hess Edward Hewitt Deletes Hogan Deborah Home Jeffrey Horton Robert Johnston 75 George Jones Kirk Kendall Abdulrehman Khalidi Gail Kopec Frank LaMagna Larry Lawrence Arthur Levine Richard Linsenmaier Lyndon Lloyd Mark Losben Frank Mammano Kathleen Mangan James Mantz Debbie Marshall Chris McBee Jimmie McElyea Robert McGonagle Eveline McGowan Thomas McSwiney Jean Meadows diMfhMk 76 I« ' ' ..M  M Nancy Metzler Douglas Mikell Sharon Miller Thomas Miller William Moloney . ii i Virginia Morgan Glenda Mount Mike MuUer Ricky MuUins Sherry Parsons y Kim Parkins Star Plunk Marilyn Polsky Douglas Randahl Thomas Reinke Philip Reyer Jan Richter Bror Rosenquist Christian Ruoff Ralph Sanzari 77 Daryl Saylor Gary Sennett Roger Smith Randolph Snapp Yvonne Spraque John Stanley Steve Staff Walter Sweatlock Scott Walker James Wendling Leslee Wiisow Diane Wiswell Steve Yarbrough Paul Zemsky 78 COFFEE BREAK AND FUN TIME 79 Time for being entertained and for trying the new 80 A TIME FOR DANCING 81 TIME FOR REMINISCING 82 TIME . . . for getting to know each other. 83 NEW COLLEGE ALTAR Mrs. Eunice McDonnald Meadows, Miami, Florida, puts the finishing touches on an altar of the New Testament, carved of tulip wood valued at $17,000, which the Meadows family donated to Athens College.

There are weekly vespers, devotionals, and special services. 94 With Executive Director Chaplain Curtis Coleman are Cliffie Gibson, Mary Jane Smith, and Caroline Page. METHODIST STUDENT MOVEMENT Sensitivity and diversity are two key words in the Methodist Student Movement at Athens College. Sensitivity might apply to any of several programs designed to increase the student ' s awareness of him- self and the world around him. Diversity applies to the Methodist student body and faculty. UMYF Day is an annual project of the Athens College Methodist Student Movement and about 500 students from Methodist churches in the North Alabama Conference were here January 10. Again they were given the red carpet treatment, includ- ing activities in the physical education center, steak dinner in the college dining hall, and special honor guests ' recognition at a varsity basketball game. 95 Good books, like good food, keep us healthy, wealthy, and wise. THE BAPTIST STUDENT UNION The Baptist Student Union in all functions and purposes, is Southern Baptist sponsored, oriented, and direct- ed. It is intended to be the primary structure for the Baptist student in es- tablishing his place in their religious activities at Athens College. Beyond this basic tenet it is intended that all students are invited and encouraged to participate and to share in the full fellowship and program of religious activities at the college and in the city. The B. S. U. at Athens College provides religious services on campus and aids other religious organizations in their functions. OFFICERS: Janet Payne, vice-president; Alan Pope, historian. Patsy Stewart, secretary-treasurer, and John McDowell, president. 96 Members of the First Methodist Church, Athens, give $300 to the Athens College Library Fund for the purchase of religious books.

Imagine yourself at a choral concert where the singers were heard not only from the stage, but also from the sides and back of the auditorium, and even from the midst of the audience. Athens College community shared this treat with city, county, and state guests. 97 BUSINESS CLUB Officers Lloyd Morgenstein, William Bubenick, and Gordon Stables talk with their advisors concerning business opportunities in Alabama. In the conversation they learn that the Business Admin- istration Club of Athens College takes advantage of the excellent location of the city of Athens for a school of business since Athens is in a financial, insurance, and distribution area of the Southeast. To publicize the role of business education in a modem world the Athens College Business Adminis- tration Club presents programs, exhibits, and lecturers which, draw visitors to our campus regularly.

How deeply cherished? How callous-strengthened your hands? Athens College seniors, parents, faculty, and guests took these and other challenging queries seriously at graduation exercises on May 16 at Athens College. Whether we are building or compet- ing, the emphasis is on What have 1 done , to do with my life. It is the effort of all that makes the vision of one so important ... the flowers , . . the sun ... a window . . . the writing in the snow. Each is all- significant, all important. And love of God is the true measure of greatness. Bishop W. Kenneth Goodson hoisted that question to over 230 Athens College graduating seniors. Then he challenged: If you are a real good boy or a real good girl, you will probably end up on a cross . . . the best boy did. Suddenly Bishop Goodson had offered each an opportunity for self-examination, and he posed three choices for shaping life. i Faculty members listen and then check programs. 214 You can try to run away from it, Bishop Goodson thundered, but non- involvement today is no longer an option. 215 You may use it for frustra- tion or you may use it for opportunity. You can take your life and do something with it. You put your life in His hands, if you ' ve got the nerve, and He will run it for you. The experience of a lifetime is complete. What more can we say? How long ago did we start on this gradua- tion idea? Three years four years of fall, winter, and spring planning . . . advisory conference . . . more plans . . . some carried out others shot to pieces. Times were when we were just a face in the crowd, but significance pictures so clearly that only through one ' s own efforts to step above the mediocrity and excel can progress be made. 216 Seniors get set, march in and Too, we know that next to knowing when to seize an opportunity, the most important thing in life is to know when to forgo an advantage . . . and that while striving for new abilities, strive to develop abilities we already have lying dormant within us. Dr. Sidney Sandridge touched on this in his in- troductory speech at convocation when he said: You ' ve never tested the resources of God until you have challenged the A J impossible. then sit to hear speakers and to see awardees recognized. 217 And so, in these times of challenge, joy, and change, we shall research often in the Bible, for the Scriptures teach us the best way of living, the noblest way of suffering, and the most comfortable way of dying; furthermore. nobody ever outgrows Scripture; the book widens and deepens with our age. 218 Father Arthur E. Swinea and twin sons Ronald and Donald receive degrees at the same graduation exercises. And so, graduates clutch their d egrees accept special salutes stand for benediction AND GRADUATION IS OVER, 219 PRESIDENTIAL RECEPTION FOR SENIORS President and Mrs. Gobbel greet seniors, family, and friends.
