A log fort had been built in 1735, immediately after a handful of people had pulled their pirogues up the slick sides of the blue Savannah River at the present site of St. Paul ' s Episcopal Church. The first fortification had been called Fort Augusta. However, after several battles during the Revolu- tionary War, the old fort was destroyed. When, after the Treaty of Paris in 1783, the United States of America began to feel the growing pains of a free and independent country, it beca me necessary to construct permanent fortifications, Augusta Arsenal was one of the first to be built. As the city was growing so rapidly, it was consid- ered desirable to move the guns and other equipment for protection to a site several miles northwest of the old fort (but still on the Savannah River), the location selected being the place where the Sibley Mills now stand. The property there was approximately 48- 14 16 acres. The new site was given the name Augusta Arsenal and by 1819 many buildings had been erected, at a cost of $163,905.45, and a detachment of thirty en- listed men, two lieutenants and a surgeon, all under the command of Captain Matthew M. Payne, Corps of Artillery, were assigned to duty there. The next year an epidemic of swamp, or yellow fever wiped out the entire garrison. Twenty-three of the enlisted men, one lieutenant and the surgeon were buried in the Arsenal enclosure. The other lieu- tenant and the remaining seven enlisted men were moved to a camp near Miliedge Spring and died there. Captain Payne alone survived. He was visiting the Walkers at their summer place called Bellevue. tV - ,„„„, „.,,,,J till • I ' • ' • ' •• ' II • ' '  ' J J r ' HEADQUARTERS y . .

The 70-acre tract was bought by Act of Congress, May 26, 1826, from Freeman Walker. The land was part of the Bellevue tract in the village of Summerville. One acre was excluded as a grave- yard for the Walker family. The G overnment paid $6,000.00 and received a deed dated November 9, 1826. There were two houses on the land, one called Bellevue (which is still standing), and the other build- ing was marked on a plat as Mrs. Walker ' s house, but no reference as to which Mrs. Walker. After the purchase of the Walker site, some of the arsenal buildings were moved from the Savannah River place, and other new buildings were con- structed. Initially the buildings moved and rebuilt, as well as some new additions, were: Headquarters (now the Administration building), two magnificent sets of officer ' s quarters, a barracks building, and a con- necting thick brick loopholed wall. The loopholes were to be used in the event of attack by invaders. There was an arched sally port under the middle of the Headquarters buildi.ig,- heavy wooden gates per- mitted access to the enclosure within the brick wall, and a wooden picket fence was set all around the place as a boundary. Water was supplied from a deep well. Years later a wooden-pipe line for sewer and water was laid and connected to Augusta ' s sys- tem. When the old wooden pipes were dug up to make way for the modern supply lines, workmen found unidentified human bones. The bones were buried in the military cemetery and marked Un- known. During the first several decades of the Nineteenth century, soldiers from the arsenal, with members of the Richmond Blues, a local home guard, fought against the enemy in the Seminole and Creek Indian wars to the south. In addition to training fighting men, the arsenal stored, repaired and cleaned guns and issued supplies to troops, including Charleston Depot, Mount Vernon and Apalachicola arsenals, Gary ' s Ferry Depot, and the Ordnance at Tampa Bay. • -: - V I ARLY in 1844, a young lieutenant who had ' imbibed too freely of spiritous liquors and behaved in such a manner as to bring dis- credit to the uniform of the United States Army, was imprisoned in a dungeon under the Headquarters building. A letter was sent to Wash- ington, D.C. requesting disposition of the young man. Washington officials sent Lieutenant William Tecumseh Sherman, of the Corps of Artillery, on the delicate diplomatic mission to Augusta with orders to handle the situation for the good of the Army. Sherman came, captured the admiration of Augustans, was entertained extensively by them, and stayed six months. When he left, he took the young lieutenant with him. The first recorded ghost seems to have arrived soon after Sherman ' s departure. He was a young man whose uncle (the arsenal commander) had em- ployed him as a clerk at the unheard of salary of $2.00 per day. The young clerk had been on his new job but a short time when he was killed by a cowardly assassin and was buried in the Walker cemetery. Legend has it that the young man had hoped that the family would have deep apple pie for dinner. He was shot to death on his way home. His ghost prowled the commander ' s quarters, open- ing oven and food pantry doors in search of pie! Two other ghosts, a lady and a former soldier, moved in later and were still around not too long ago. Transportation was by horse and mule. Walton Way was laid with heavy planks from Fifteenth Street up to Summerville. It was called a toll turnpike, for the use of which the arsenal paid $76.00 a year. That was in 1849 when the arsenal hired slaves as hostlers at $1.00 a day. The superintendent of the guards was paid $1.25 a day. But as the restless days preceding the Civil War approached, even small things seemed of great moment, according to reports. For instance, much was made of the fact that the commanding officer ' s cookstove had worn out. After considerable cor- respondence, a new stove was bought and installed. 0N September, 1860, the Mayor and Common Council of Augusta passed a resolution re- questing that a sufficient force be stationed at the arsenal for the protection of the arms stored there. The Secretary of War had sent 22,000 muskets and rifles to the arsenal in pursuance of his policy to fill the southern arsenals with large quantities of arms and ammunition. Accordingly, in October, Company E, Second Ar- tillery, under command of Captain Arnold Elzey, came to the arsenal with a lieutenant and eighty- two enlisted men. It was Captain Elzey who sur- rendered the arsenal to the Confederate Army Colonel W. H. Walker, after Georgia seceded from the Union. Early in 1861, a large brick building was con- structed near the eastern boundary. It was used as foundry, machine shops and storehouse. During the Civil War, part of the building was used as a hospital, part as a blacksmith shop, a tin shop and a harness shop and equipment department for field artillery. Lieutenant-Colonel W. G. Gill was the first Confed- erate commander. He was a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, class of 1848. He died June 7, 1862, and was succeeded by Lt. Col. George W. Rains. Under the direction of Col. Rains, a powder works was built on the old arsenal site. It was rated as the second largest in the world and supplied all powder and ammunition to the Confederate armies. All that now remains of it is an obelisk ch imney 1 15 feet tall. Upon the approach of Sherman ' s army, the powder works and machine shops were dismantled and sent to Columbia, S.C, but were returned to the arsenal and put back into use when it was found that Sher- man had by-passed Augusta. «( v mR.rtv 0URING the Civil War period, the arsenal man- ufactured (among other items): 174 gun car- riages; 115 caissons; 343 limbers; 110 guns (mostly bronze 12-pounder); 21 battery wag- ons; 10,575 powder boxes (for gun-powder, of course!); 73,521 horse shoes; 3455 saddles; 2535 sets of harness; 2477 signal rockets; 85,800 rounds of fixed ammunition; 136,642 cartridge bags (women made these); 200,113 time fuses; 476,207 pounds of projectiles; 4,580,000 buck shot; 4,626,000 lead balls; and 10,760,000 cartridges for small arms. When the war ended, the arsenal was surrendered by the Confederates to Brigadier General Emery Upton, U.S. Army, after which United States Army troops again occupied the arsenal. Colonel D. W. Flagler, of the Ordnance Department, was ordered to command, it was he who designed the famous sundial, a replica of which now stands in the garden to the rear of the Headquarters building. The records do not show any exciting activity at the arsenal during the period of Reconstruction. A double brick cottage was built for married enlisted men in 1872 and several other buildings still stand- ing. The old arsenal site and the powder works were given by the Government to the Freedmen ' s Bureau but later sold by them to the City of Augusta for approximately $42,000.00. Although in 1874 the commanding officer of the arsenal. Captain R. M. Hill, reported that the value of the arsenal ' s land and buildings was approxi- mately $305,200.00; that Augusta, with a popula- tion of 20,000, was considered by Washington officials to be an excellent location for an arsenal, it was just a few years later that Congress, in discussing appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1885, inserted a clause in the appropriation bill for sundry civil expenses, to sell Augusta Arsenal. This was agreed to by the House, but the Senate refused to assent, so the bill failed to become a law and the arsenal remained a storage and repair point for ordnance equipment. At the turn of the twentieth century the arsenal became quite active. In addition to repair and stor- age, it manufactured large quantities of cavalry equipment and seacoast targets and served the en- tire South Atlantic District. . J ORESHADOWING World War I, activity in- creased rapidly. Colonel J. Walker Benet was 1 U commander and had the heavy responsibility of expanding the arsenal to serve the troops. He set up new departments, trained additional per- sonnel, and leased land on the Georgia Railroad where warehouses were built. It was during this period that Stephen Vincent Benet, who later became famous, was writing prose and poetry in the house now occupied by the president of Augusta College. Following World War I, and during the great de- pression hundreds of unemployed persons were given work assignments at the arsenal through the Works Progress Administration. Buildings were painted, roads repaired and paved, grounds dug up, graded and replanted. When the dark clouds of World War II began to gather, new buildings mushroomed. Approximately fifty were erected, bringing the total to 101 buildings valued at $100,000,000.00 Thousands of persons were trained, civilian and military, in new occupa- tions. At the peak of the war there were 2152 civilians employed and the arsenal was operating on a 24- hour, daily, 3-shift basis. Material was shipped abroad under lease-lend agreements. The arsenal ' s mission included main- tenance, overhaul, manufacture and storage of ordinance. The optical and fire-control section re- paired intricately-wired director systems similar to present day computers. It occupied an entire four- story building and the upper floor of another large brick building. Coating of optics to reduce reflection and intensify light transmission, which was a new and interesting development in science, was accom- plished here. After more than a century and a half of continuous service, the arsenal finally bowed to the advancing age of space. Once considered a large arsenal, in 1955 it was considered too small to be of effectual use to the United States, and it was closed. Even be- fore the government-owned property was removed from buildings, influential citizens of Augusta were taking steps to acquire the site and buildings for Augusta College. They were successful; the college occupied the site in 1957. IS 16 i jaaSk . — - v i. , 0he walls of the fort are still sturdy, but they surround a peaceful garden for displays of academic life. The building that once housed designers of weapons now houses interpreters of music and teachers of art. The transition took almost one hundred and thirty years, but it came abruptly in 1957 when the Army relinquished the arsenal to the county, then to the State of Georgia for the expanding junior college. Within seven years, Augusta College grew into a senior institution of the University System of Georgia. The junior college already had a tradition of performance and achievement dating from 1925, but the expansion of the community and the state and the demands for higher education resulted in the Board of Regents in 1963 authorizing Augusta Col- lege to grant the Bachelor of Arts, the Bachelor of Science, and the Bachelor of Business Administration degrees. It was now up to the people of the state. Through their elected officials, they responded immediately and $1,500,000 was granted. The already sturdy buildings that once housed machines for the manu- facture of weapons were converted into classrooms, laboratories, and a library. Every year the face of Augusta College changes— sometimes slowly, sometimes rapidly. The classrooms and laboratories provide the method for improvement of the mind. The library is a place for the hard work of intense concentration and study. The social realm gives us an outlet and a chance for close rela- t ionships—all forming a special purpose. This, integrated with the pride of the best of a heritage steeped in history, is Augusta College today. m mmj i 17 Those who have been a part of Augusta College for numerous years look back at the cracked mortar, the crumbling bricks, the Civil and World War relics, and the chipped, faded paint with a touch of nostalgia. A few steps ahead our hearts fill with pride as stately brick buildings rise from the ground, expansive tennis courts are laid, and parking lots are shaved out of once-wooded lawns. A C continues to achieve a more advanced and varied academic program to meet the vast demands of higher education. 18 ■t . ■ T rt iS ' ' - .T v •M . . r- ... -.M V ■ •.•• wMiMsr i rSPH ( - w  .

The imposition of labs, seminars, lectures, and homework is a rigid one. demanding much. The AC students are faced with continuous demands of competition and achievement. We experience the despair and frustration that accompany the learning process, the suffocating bitterness of doubt, the anguish of life ' s harsh realities, the victory of having reached a goal . the strength of an exciting young ideal, and the utter awareness that is knowledge. 21 iv : ■w 1 ,?-, [ li f ' - jp ' •?i ' . rril i SJ ' - ...- ; This is a place where we spend so brief a part of our life. Perhaps we have conie here with no definite quest. Vet as Augusta College reaches a new plateau of development, we may strive to realize our individual dreams. As self-knowledge is the fulfillment of life, we become anxious to venture into the vary midst of this surging stream. We begin to wonder just who we are. Moments of joy, disappointment, and success combine into past, the present, and give rise to the future. The brief moments of life are so urgent, each a fragmentary glimpse of immortality.

We long for a brief interim when we can be at peace with ourselves. We are confused and struggling, yet excited. We could betray ourselves by being allowed to be molded into a pattern, to lose ourselves in the crowd, and. therefore, destory the very essence of our being. Yet. something pulls us apart from the turbulence, and we begin to embrace all the characteristics which have been suspend ed from our physical being. There is a painful ecstacy as the inner depth evolves giving birth to individuality. S V 25 26 u i r 1 I c ■—Trv fTK i - milpiiiM rr- l sr.

Its radiance pays tribute to our glorious past, illumines the present, and endeavors to make the future even more dynamic. It is evident that this spirit plays a vital part in every phase of our educational development. Inspired by our heritage, we take great pride in the growth and aspirations of A C today. We are in love with life, devoted to living. The boldness of our age may frighten others. But through the unique expression of our enthusiasm, we infuse a part of ourselves to the honor of those before us. creating a true, living spirit. 27 This year is a time different from preceding years, yet strangely similar. We discover new ideas, new knowledge through expanded curriculum. Rendering service vital to campus life, we attain new honors through organizations. We reach new heights of physical prowess and new glory through our athletic program. However. Augusta College is faced with the complex problems of a growing institution. While it must be designed for educational, economic, esthetic. and cultural value, it must also be a source of pride to the people of the community as a center of their growth and aspirations. To meet these needs and aspirations, we incorporate our proud heritage with hard work and a spirit of sincere dedication. Emerging from all this are the makers of tomorrow — our student leaders. 28 iiimAnu M AUGUSTA COLLEGt CONC ERT TOUR OF twopg 29 It is impossible to mention here all the tangible improvements made at Augusta College, much less the intangible but equally important influences and spirit that has been fused into the student body during the past forty years of remarkable progress. Our debt to the past can be remembered and will be seen in every facet of our future lives. As 1967 marks the fortieth anniversary of Augusta College and the first g raduation as a senior institution, it also marks the end of forty years of teaching by a man whose career serves as a pattern for others to emulate. The WHITE COL JW staff takes great honor in extending to him our most sincere gratitude for the fountain of guidance and beneficial influence he has been and most certainly will continue to be. For these years of devotion and service to Augusta College, we humbly extend this dedication of the 1967 WHITE COLUMNS to Mr. Joseph Talley.

Now that you are an alumni, we know that you are filled with mingled emotions. The sadness of beloved memories contrast with the joy of a goal attained. A diploma is the symbol of what has been and what is to be. With the knowledge and guidance that you have gained during your four years here. you are well-prepared to meet, challenge, and solve the problems of the world in which you are emerging. So it is the best of times — the worst of times. It is an age of wisdom gained through an adequate college education. And, it is an age oj the discovery of almost every emotion — joy, fear, surprise, disappointment. But most of all. it is the time of a young, expectant life — your life. Mmummi Mm d A ugusta College is a senior lib- eral arts institution. Its students are offered such courses in the liberal arts and sciences as to develop their minds and characters, therefore en- abling them to discharge their duties in their various pursuits upon graduation. Entrusted with young men and women at a critical stage in their development, the college seeks to provide whole- some activities, services, and facilities. Every stage of the aca- demic and administrative responsibility contributes to the development of students of character, physical fitness, and moral and religious principles. Each year, several hundred high school graduates enterAugusta College. Those who remain become an integral part of its ex- panding program. In the academic sense, they embark on a demanding, well-rounded curriculum that awakens in each a sense of responsibility for intense mental concentration and individual expression, thereby preparing them to meet the requirements of citizens and especially of leaders. ■I i« Dr. Gerald B.

Jr. has said, The world of hooks— is the most remarkable creation of man - nothing else that he builds ever lasts — monuments fall — nations perish - civilizations grow old and die out often in an era of darkness new races build others— but in the world of books are volumes that live on still as young and fresh as the day they were written still telling man ' s hearts of the hearts of man centuries dead. How can a student on campus broaden his knowledge if he doesn ' t have books? Augusta College lakes pride in its library which offers a wide selection of books on any subject matter. To meet the requirements of a senior institution, the library must possess a certain number of volumes. Augusta College has met this obligation and each month enlarges its stock with the arrival of a new shipment of books. This growth is typical of the AC cam- pus today. It is nt)t only beneficial to the students but to the faculty as well. The library opens new perspectives of learning reveal- ing the worlds of literature from Shakespeare to Stein- beck and O ' Neill. However, it is not only a place of learning and concentration, but a place where all students can relax in the quiet surroundings or with their favorite magazines. 43 Mr. Falanv makes an appolnlnieni for an interview with an incoming freshman.

FORT GORDON CENTER Gordon Center Offers a Full Credit Curriculum It is a mark of the progressive college, concerned with relevance to mankind ' s need, that it extends its influence consistently and significantly beyond the bounds of its campus. That criterion stamps rapidly growing Augusta Col- lege as a vigorous and enterprising institution, and the latest demonstration of its alert sense of responsiblity was the dedication of the resident center at Fort Gordon. Augusta College is the first institution in the University System of Georgia, to offer full resident credit courses on a military post. In so doing, it has recognized the need for expanding the horizons of military men who are here a few months or years, and in offering them the ed- ucational advantages which they might have found else- where had their country not needed their services. Still more significantly, Augusta College in many cases may be enlarging the educational opportunities for some men who might have been content with only a high school education had they not been in uniform. In many ways, Augusta College has become a part of the local community, and of the greater community which is the Central Savannah River Area. As time goes by, this circle of influence and service will intensify and expand. Dr. William D. Quesenbery, Jr. Chairman Thomas M. Carlson Thomas M. Riley Douglas P. Ralston Reginald F.

The writer combines his knowledge, his imagination, and his skills to convey his own impressions of human motiva- tion and behavior. By comparing and contrasting his impressions of man to our own views, we are enabled to evaluate life more significantly. At times a writer ' s work has a meaning for us; at times we are not touched by what he has to say. Thus, we attempt to determine a writer ' s competence not only as an artist but as a critic of life. It is from literature, then, that we may gain a more artistic view of life. In our study of English we see the relationship of the past, the present, and the future to ourselves. Through the realization of the relationship, our knowledge becomes qualitative as well as quantitative. We, have this and more to gain through the expanded curriculum offered at Augusta College.

By gain- ing a firm background in history, we are able to recog- nize and evaluate more significantly our own society and its relationship to current world affairs. The study of po- litical science prepares us for participation in community life. We are enabled to comprehend the workings of our own government on a national, state, and local basis as well as the political functionings of other countries. By comparing and contrasting the developement of other systems of government, we become better and more responsible citizens. Thus, a graduate of Augusta College who has completed the full complement of history courses is belter equipped to cope with and grasp problems con- fronting him in this politically-minded world. 48 FINE ARTS Harry Jacobs Vola Jacobs Keith W. Cowling Walter G.Guthrie Art Enables Expression of True, Inner Emotion Stubbornly inert things . brushes stiff with paint . . . canvasses rough and barren white paper containing lifeless words a fixed scale and a silent instrument . . . the painful ecstacy begins when a person infuses a part of himself into these objects, creating a living thing. All art is a long, arduous baptism. It is a process by which human beings give life and meaning to inanimate objects. But what composes the study of art at Augusta College? To the conscientious student, art becomes a media through which he expresses his fears, his beliefs, and his purposes. In solving the problem of expression, the artist portrays his individual emotions and creates new ideas and feelings on campus. As his reward, he receives a clearer insight into culture. Knowledge of the principles of line, form, color, and design, develops the artist -his imagination, his sensitivity. Included in the expanded curriculum are such courses as painting, music, and drama. Different techniques and media are explained to art students. Music participants are taught theory, voice, composition, piano, and organ. The drama student displays his abilities in producing plays and learning such things as staging, costuming, and make-up. Augusta College offers a wide variety of courses in the Fine Arts preparing the student for a deeper understand- ing of his culture. m¥ m 49 FOREIGN LANGUAGES A Pursuit of Languages Is Making World Small Emphasizing the importance of communication with the world Broadening our understanding of other cultures Promoting better world relations through our knowledge of modern foreign languages. With the cultivation and comprehension of French, German, or Spanish, we, the students of Augusta College, complete the circle of understanding between peoples so essential to a well rounded education. Because of the endless advances in transportation and communication system, the world is rapidly becoming smaller. To keep pace with the fast, moving trends, the members of the Augusta College modern foreign language department endeavor to acquaint us not only with these languages but also with customs, culture, and history of the countries in which these languages originate. Through the possession of a practical knowledge of a foreign language, we come to a greater understanding of the problems and ambitions of our foreign neighbors, and, thus, we surmount one of the barriers between nations. In addition to all of this, the professors of this department give us a basic foun- dation in these languages and in so doing, instill within us a deeper appreciation of the homeland. The pursuit of language study prepares us for opportunities as translators, interpreters, and language instructors. Dr. Samuel D. Duncan Chairman Colletie Avril .lane Hudson Percy Wise 50 I Dennis W.

This de- partment takes great strides in eoordinating physical and mental ability and gives the student a thorough know- ledge of various recreational sports. Coach Vanover and his stalT in the physical education department encourage all AC students to participate not only in the required activities, but also in the exten- sive program of intraiiiurals. The mind is at rest and the body as a whole is put in action with the strenuous and valuable skills in the world of sports. Although there is no academic credit given for these courses, the students benefit greatly. This physical development is basic to good mental health and forms an essential part of a well- rounded education. To broaden the Physical Education curriculum and to keep pace with AC ' s rapid growth, a swimming pool and new gymnasium are being constructed to olTer other aspects of competitive and recreational sports. 51 ia_B :3i y Mrs. Martha K.

With the ever expanding growth of American business arises a need for young men and women with a sound knowledge of business tech- niques and theories. To meet this increasing demand. The Augusta College Business Department strives to prepare the student for a professional future in the business world. The study of business is not only appealing to women with secretarial interests, but also to men who desire careers in management, business law or certificai public accounting. The business department oilers a varied selection of courses, included among them are such studies as typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, business math, business law, accounting, economics and oHice machines. Where else can a student become better qual- ified to meet the challenges of the outside world and the phases of business than in the Augusta College business department. When a student graduates with a BBA from Augusta College, he is better prepared to enter the rapid- ly growing world of business administration with an excellent foundation. 53 EDUCATION Education Courses Offer a Teaching Experience Ernest O. Melby has said, In comparison with other professions, education has a peculiar quaHty. Compare it with architecture and building construction. In the construction of a building it makes some difference what is done. It makes some difference how that something is done, but it makes relatively little difference who does it, as long as the plans and specifications are followed. In teaching, also, it does make some difference what you do, and it makes some difference how you do it, but it makes an enormous difference who does it. The question of who does the teaching is probably the most important question in the quality of any individual ' s education. The individual teacher places his signature on his work just as truly as the painter who writes his in the lower corner of his painting. Seeing that prospective teachers at Augusta College get a sound foundation in the techniques and principles of American education is the goal of the department bearing that name. The maintenance of high standards and ideals is demanded by the Education Department in order that students may come to the realization that they, in their chosen profession, are not just people working hard to make a living, but builders of future generations.

A sound understanding of man ' s behavior in his social and cultural environment is becoming increasingly im- portant in all professions and fields. Those in the field of the behavioral sciences have taken vast steps in com- bating social disorders, progressing toward a firmer understanding of mental problems and alleviating society of delinquency. Through the intensified study of man ' s behavior and his environment, the knowledge gained in the Augusta College F sychology and Sociology depart- ments, enable us to have a clearer insight into the society and its structure. Such courses as Contemporary Social Problems, Ab- normal Psychology, Marriage and the lamily, L.xperi- mental Psychology, and .Social Statistics make up the extended curriculum oll ' ercd by the department. The Augusta College Behavioral Science Department encour- ages further research in man ' s pattern of behavior and more critical evaluations of certain facts and principles included in this field. Dr. Horace F. Stewart Marion R. Mueller 55 MATH AND PHYSICS Math and Physics Offer Challenges to AC Today Mathmatics is one of the most challenging and useful divisions of human knowledge. Though math is one of the oldest of man ' s scientific endeavors, we find that it is rapidly becoming of great importance in our own com- plex society. With the vast advances that are being made in all fields of science there has risen an urgent need for well trained mathematicians and engineers. Where else but the field of mathematics is the student exposed to the practical applications of theories? Where else but in the field of mathematics can the student truly acquire the reasoning ability that will be so vital to him in his future occupations and professions? At Augusta College students are offered a wide vari- ety of subjects ranging from freshman algebra, trigonom- etry, and calculus to differential equations, modern alge- bra, and abstract math. The mathematics department prepares the student to analyze any problem which he might encounter and to relate his knowledge to the de- mands of the growing society. From there he must make his contribution and, in so doing, make a useful place for himself. Mrs. Elizabeth H. Howard Miss Jerry Townsend Mrs. Anna J. Turner Grover B. Williams Chairman Dr. Harry F.

Stirewalt Dr. E. F. Walkowiak BIOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY 1 Scientific Studies Are Essential to Education Undergoing strenuous lab sessions . . comprehending class lectures encountering the world of nature through field trips witnessing the disassociation of mixtures into elements Through the focused micro- scope, the Biology student sees a portion of the world unknown. He strains to make his mysterious world a part of his knowledge and, therefore, makes his contribution to the welfare of humanity. The Chemistry student, too, is an investigator of an unknown, unfathomable world. He sees the awesome unfolding of the elements of nature in his laboratory experiments. He gains insight into the chemical workings of the universe, and in doing so, he becomes an indispensible part of the scientific world. With increasing emphasis on scientific training, it becomes obvious that preparation for a career as a chem- ist or biologist must be the best and most up to date pos- sible. The Augusta College Biology and Chemistry De- partments create an awareness of our scientific environ- ment, and provide us with the knowledge essential to understand its workings. Courses in Zoology, Botany, Inorganic and Organic Chemistry, Cytology, Qualitative Analysis, J ' cology, and Physical Chemistry are offered by these departments. Through lecture, demonstration, and laboratory experience, the Biology and chemistry student at Augusta College receives the tools that will help him discover new worlds and further his scientific studs. 57 Bernice Collins R.

These are just some of the many indispensible duties of the men in Plant Operations at Augusta College. Through the painstaking efforts of many capable hands, the campus grounds are kept in beautiful condition the year round. Plant Operations is also responsible for the maintenance of the buildings. Light bulbs are replaced by precautious hands. Air conditioning and heating systems are checked periodically to insure maximum comfort on cool and warm days. The Pinkerton, a newly- acquired member of the plant operations staff, makes the campus a safer place for pedestrians by helping to control traffic and parking situations. The maintenance men go unobserved about their thank- less tasks around campus. Even though their finished work goes unappreciated at times, the mark of their handiwork is seen in all phases of campus life. i-fm W George Moore Charles Buskiak 59 STUDENT CENTER Every Phase of Activity Cited in Student Center The laughter of the students the cries of excite- ment . the silence of disappointment the ring of the cash register the aromas of good food. Where else does one room comprise all the characteristics of campus activity but in the Student Center? This is a place where students gather for a moment of gossiping about their tests, expressing their personal problems over the opposite sexes, and the rushing of the hungry ones to be fed. The Student Center is a complex with a book store, a cafeteria, a series of game rooms, a number of student assembly rooms, and a main social room. Each quarter, the Student Center becomes a more favorite place— and sometimes a refuge - for students of every class. As one enters the massive room, his eyes will focus on the elec- tion posters for Student Government or the announce- ment of coming student activities. But without the post- ers or announcements, he will remember most the fun and friendships shared here the good times. As the college is the people that comprise it, the Stu- dent Center would be a lonely, lifeless place without AC ' S personable students. To cope with the needs and aspirations of the growing campus, there are plans for a new three-story center to be completed within the next year. Ida Friedman Elease M.

They offer diversion from the rigorous academic pro- gram by availing to the study an opportunity to partici- pate in new areas of interest as well as broaden old ones. These organizations include areas of student interest from campus publications to reli- gious group meetings, the interim being filled by various other professi onal, honorary, and social groups. Each of these is designed to extend to the participant some manner of recreation, experience, learn- ing, and fraternalism. Participation in these extra- curricular activities allows us. the students, a chance to form new friendships and share in the co-operative spirit of these groups-and their activities.

Representatives are selected by popular vote from each class on the basis of conduct, integrity, and scholastic average. Its purpose is to encourage student participation in measures that promote the prestige and usefulness of the college and to initiate and sponsor stu- dent activities for the betterment of student life. This year Student Government is a member of Southern Uni- versities Student Government Association. It serves as the voice of the students at Augusta College and welcomes all suggesti ons for the improvement of any college activities, facilities, or functions. As a result of these suggestions, many improvements have been made during the past years. Student Government also plays a vital part in Augusta College ' s social life. It sponsored several dances, includ- ing the Confusion Dance, the Christmas Belle Ball, the Homecoming Dance, the Jagland Dance and for the first time as a senior college, the Graduation Dance. Homecoming week was a week of excitement at Augusta College and Student Government did its part to contrib- ute to the excitement by conducting a bonfire and a Homecoming Project Contest. It also sponsored Field Day which is an annual event held during Spring Quarter. 98 New members: Cookie Sikes. Judy Hamilton. Sandi Brooks. Ray Meyers. Frank Smith. .4llen Cole.

The Choir traveled through Scotland, England, France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Germany and Holland. They gave concerts in London, Paris, Bad Poerschach, Vienna, Murich, Nuernberg, Wersbaden, Zurich, Cologne, and Hoensbroek Castle. Performances were given in Churches, United States military bases, a Rotary Club, a police banquet, NATO headquarters and even a castle. Selections were prepared for both sacred and secular programs. The choir, as ambassadors of good will, carried souvenirs to Europe. The students and chaperones re- turned to Augusta, September 19. With the trip over, the Choir began to prepare for a full schedule of performances in the Augusta area. Under the direction of Mrs. Emily Remington, the Choir sang at the opening and dedication of the Augusta College Resident Center at Fort Gordon, at Honors Night, at the Miss Richmond County Green Pageant at Butler High School Auditorium, at a special Christmas program at the Second Baptist Church, and made many other regional performances.

The club promotes the dramatic arts on campus by performing complete plays, which are presented in the campus playhouse, the Cha- teau. This year the Theatre provided the Augusta Area with two successful plays. It opened its 1966-67 season with Edward Albee ' s The American Dream. Directed by Walter D. Guthrie, the play was a caustically funny look at modern American values, American manhood, and the American family. The play was performed October 14, 15, 20, 21, and 22. This play, one of Albee ' s earlier dramas, was presented in conjunction with the second annual meeting of the Georgia Theatre Conference. The second play, Diary of Anne Frank by Francis Goodrich and Albert Hackett, is based on the book Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl. The story is told through the eyes of a fourteen year old girl, Anne Frank. She and her Jewish family lived in a three room attic in Amsterdam during the occupation of the Netherlands by the Nazi. Anne Frank proved to be one of the biggest successes ever staged by the group. Matt Stoval, Vicki Gavalas, Mr. Guthrie. (L-R) A. Cole, R. Priestman, H. Evans, M. Stovall. L. Basford, W. Gu- thrie, P.

It brings the Christian community into meaningful fel- lowship and sends the students who are members of the club back into the school more involved in its life than ever before. Its aim is to communicate the gospel to those who are outside the community of faith. This year the club presented guest speakers at several of the meetings. Representatives from the club attended a convention at Rock Eagle from October 28 to October 30. Members also attended a retreat at Camp Daniel Marshell near Clark Hill from February 3 to February 4. All of the club ' s activities are centered around the needs of the students at the College and around the reli- gion on the campus. Baptist Student Union is a very active club on the College ' s campus. This year the club sponsored candi- dates for Miss White Columns and Christmas Belle. Since it was originated on campus, the club has grown and has now become an important part of campus life. David Speering. Linda Harrison. Tim Calloway.

Anne Hanson, Hazel Hill Inter- Varsity Members Share in Campus Life Inter- Varsity is a non-denominational Christian fellow- ship for Augusta College students. Its purpose is to deepen and strengthen the spiritual life of its members and to present the Christian witness on campus. Speakers, discussions, and Bible studies are held to accomplish these purposes. Throughout the year. Inter- Varsity has invited guest speakers from various fields to share their ideas on dif- ferent subjects with the members of the group. Inter- Varsity hopes to stimulate interest in the Christian life and strengthen the conviction of its members. Subjects shared in the meetings range from theological philosophies to the problems facing today ' s student in campus life. With the help of these meetings, discussions, and the clubs other activities, the members come closer to sharing in the life of Christ. FIRST ROW (I. to r.)

This year the club sent representatives to a state con- vention in order that it might come to know what other similar clubs are doing. Problems of religion on campus were discussed thoroughly at this meeting. Under the leadership of Father Ray Cox, the club members analyze problems in all fields of study and stu- dent relations and try to solve them. By doing this, the members of the club become more involved in school affairs and learn how to harmonize with the other stu- dents at the College. Several members of the club volun- teered their services at Gracewood so that they could be a useful part of society. The club had guest speakers and films to fill their program. The theme of these were man ' s inhumanity to man. Newman Club is very active at Augusta College. It sponsored candidates for all contests, and the Club has the honor of having its candidates win both the Christ- mas Belle title and the Homecoming title. The club also had an entry in the Homecoming Project Contest. loe YOUNG REPUBLICANS Young Republicans Move Toward Better Politics The goal of the Young Republican Party at Augusta College is to interest the student body in the basic principles of the G.O.P. and to encourage the support of its candidates. This year the Young Republicans opened Campus Headquarters from October 1 until the November General Election to acquaint the candidates. Republican candi- dates from the Tenth District were the guests of the Young Republican throughout the campaign period. They sought votes from the student body. Representatives from Young Republicans attended the annual state Republican convention in Atlanta during April, 1967. The Young Republicans believe that even though the student may not agree with the G.O.P. platform and may not endorse their candidates, he or she will benefit from the exchange of ideas and find the discussions mentally stimulating. An upsurge of interest in governmental activities could only lead to more active participation in civic affairs and should be an influence for good. The club does not try to force its ideas on the students of Au- gusta College; it merely tries to let the students be aware of its party ' s platform. Sue Johnson.

It provides an additional vehicle tor participation by the college students in the Young Demo- crats and Democratic party. The Young Democrats on the College ' s Campus do not try to push their ideas on any student. Instead, they try to bring a better understanding of their party ' s plat- form in order that the students of the school may be better informed on important local and national issues. It is their belief that the student who is well informed will become a better citizen, using his right to vote whether it be for or against the Democratic party. 110 HISTORY CLUB Club Delves Further in Our Past — Our Future The History Club was first organized at the beginning of fall quarter and offers to all history majors and minors a chance to delve further into problems of the past. The purpose of the History Club is to stimulate interest in the study of man ' s progress and its relation to the future. This objective is achieved in one way by inviting guest speakers to talk to the club. At one meeting an AC his- tory professor told members about graduate school— the requirements, the courses to take, where to obtain ap- plications, and the better colleges that house graduate schools. Another way the club stimulates interest in the study of history is by holding group discussions on the proud heritage of the United States and other nations. A topic is chosen beforehand to give the members a chance to investigate the subject matter. Most of these discussions result in a debate of two sides arguing a his- torical point. During a meeting one might merely make a statement and immediately be forced to defend his point. The History Club, which spent many of its early meetings drawing up a constitution, hopes soon to be- come a member of the National History Club Association. Pictured :ib()vc, (iuy Kent, president.

STUDENT EDUCATION ASSOCIATION SEA Sponsors College Day for Freshmen The Student Education Association was renamed this year as the Geraidine W. Hargrove Chapter of the Au- gusta College SEA. This organization offers to ail educa- tion majors and minors an idea of the fields and facets of the teaching profession by presenting various speakers in the education field at meetings. Three area educators spoke at meetings this year. A local guidance conselor spoke on entering the field of guidance; a principal and a teacher spoke on the qualities that today ' s teacher must possess. SEA began their year with a membership tea. This initiation set off the year ' s series of events which in- cluded the annual Christmas Tea honoring the faculty, as well as a party entertaining the children of the faculty. The four major club officers attended the SGEA Leader- ship Convention at Rock Eagle in October. At the state convention in Atlanta during February. Karen Brown was elected historian of the State SGEA. SEA sponsored College Day in February to acquaint high school seniors with the vastly different college atmosphere and explain major fields and courses of study offered at Augusta College. Students were divided into groups and taken on a tour of the campus. As College Day did much to introduce upcoming freshmen into the college world, SEA acquaints AC education students with the problems and benefits of the future profession. Officers oj SEA.(L-R).

The Rho Iota chapter of Alpha Phi Omega at Augusta College works with worth- while organizations in the community. Each member vol- unteers twenty hours a quarter to help with such proj- ects as collecting for the March of Dimes and the Easter Seal Foundation, helping with conservation projects at Camp Linwood Hayne, giving Christmas parties for underprivileged children, and donating food to the needy at Thanksgiving. The group has adopted an orphan in India and spon- sors a speaker at the college twice a month. Members serve as assistant Scout masters and advisors in the sum- mer program for Scouts. To raise funds APOs conduct car washes, cake sales, a comic clave auction, a dance, and a campus sweet- heart contest. All proceeds from these drives go toward some service project. During the school year the boys run polls for student elections, assist with registration in September, and help visitors from organizations such as VISTA and the Peace Corps set up booths. In the future the fraternity hopes to sponsor a Korean orphan, a blood drive, and a beautification project at school. FIRST ROW, L-R; T. Howard, R. Crout, J. Latimer, D. Buck, B. Cool, SECOND ROW: J.

PHI BETA LAMBDA B A Members Pursue Problems of Business Phi Beta Lambda teaches its members the ways of the business world before they are actually thrust into the world of buying and selling. Open to students in the field of business at Augusta College, Phi Beta Lambda, a pro- fessional organization, began the year with an informal party to greet new members and organize the club and its officers. They also held a barbecue and published the school ' s little black book, the student directories. However, the main purpose of the club is to acquaint business majors with real companies and real bosses. This purpose was accomplished through programs on management and talks presented by men of prominence in business around the community. A tour was conducted of the Procter and Gamble plant where the employees presented demonstrations on conducting interviews. This served as the Augusta College club ' s state project this year. Early in spring quarter, local businessmen con- ducted interviews with members of the club interested in acquiring jobs in the near future. KNEELING (L to R). K. Stanton, J. McClatchy, R. Knight, B.

CIVITANS Civitans Give Money for the Athletic Scholarship The Collegiate Civitans are sponsored by the Augusta Civitan Club. Girls who wished to join the club attended a membership tea in September at the First Federal Pent- house. New members were then invited to join the Club and increased the membership to fifty-five. The Civitans sponsored several activities to raise money for their scholarship fund. These events were put into full swing with a cake sale at the beginning of the year. One of the events was the annual Powder Puff football game in which the girls played football and several boys competed for the title of homecoming queen at half time. In March Civitans held the Student Faculty basket- ball game and during spring quarter, a barbecue was held to climax the year ' s activities. The Civitans also gave a Christmas party for children of the faculty and collected for the Heart Fund. They may best be remembered, however, not as well-dressed coeds but as the little people dancing to music at half- time at the basketball games, trying to keep with the tempo of advisor Keith Cowling.

CIRCLE K Club Donates Scholarship Towards School Athletics Circle K, a service organization dedicated to the bet- terment of the college, the membcr.s, and the community, is atliliated with the Augusta Kiwanis Club, it is part of a national federation of similar clubs. Circle K. spon- sored .several events this year to earn money toward an athletic scholarship. Hopefully this is to be increased to a full scholarship and presented to Coach Vanover for the athletic department. A car wash began what Circle K hoped to be their most active year. At the beginning of the quarter. Circle K held a get- acquainted party for prospective members. This year the membership quota was upped to sixty becau.se of the increased number of qualilied boys. Circle K spon- sored quite a few dances for the student body. The Miss K-F)eb Ball, held during spring quarter, .selected the new club sweetheart to succeed Miss Linda Harrison, 1966 Miss K-Deb. Circle K is very active in intramurals and other school-sponsored activities. Their float cap- tured first place during Homecoming, and they hosted the state C ircle-K convention in May. The club provided transportation for crippled children to therapy to add to ihcir participation in the March of Dimes Campaign. 121 OFKICK FRONT ROW, kneeling.

BELL RINGER BELL RINGER Published Every Two Weeks THE BELL RINGER is published every two weeks and distributed free to Augusta College students. The news- paper staff stands behind their chief, the editor. He hands out the assignments, and each staff member is expected to contact the persons involved in that story to get the required information. Then the staffer has the task of writing the story in such a way that the readers will be interested in what the writer is saying. So, at last, the story is finished, but there is much more to getting a newspaper out than that. Someone has to proof- read all the stories and then they must be typed. Every newspaper must be laid out and sent to the publishers in enough time to be back in time for distribution. A newspaper assignment is not something that can be put off. Running a newspaper means giving time, patience, and talent — time because for some reason interviews keep getting postponed, patience because col lege students want to read stories that aren ' t too difficult yet not too simple, and talent because it does take talent to be orig- inal and to keep things running in order. 122 Reporters Marilyn Cliell.

BIOLOGY CLUB The Biology Club Brings a Greater Understanding The Biology Club at Augusta College is a relatively new club on the campus. Since its origination in 1965, the club has grown remarkably. It is open to those students who are majoring or minoring in the field. This year, with Mr. Harvey Stirewalt and Mrs. Barbara Shipes, both assistant professors of Biology at Augusta College, as advisors and tour guides, the club took a field trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The trip, which lasted from April 14 to April 16, was sponsored to let members see and collect flora and fauna of the mountain area. Mrs, Shipes led the botany enthusiasts who found several relatively rare flowers, some of which were col- lected for the school herbarium. The most rare ones were left so as not to wipe out the entire population. Mr. Stirewalt led the zoology enthusiasts who found many types of newts, salamanders, and crayfish, some of which were collected for further study in lab. Many were caught, identified and freed, but the general policy to leave the native inhabitants unharmed. Augusta College is now listed as a depository for these specimens. 124 George Dawson, Nancv LeZolle, Claude Miller. Freddie Williamson. PSYCHOLOGY CLUB Psychology Club Is Progressive Organization The Psychology Club at Augusta College was founded for the purpose of bringing together all students inter- ested in or majoring in psychology. With the expansion of the Augusta College Psychology facilities, the club has also expanded. Under the leadership of Dr. Stewart, the club met twice monthly. During the past year, the club had guest speakers to complement its programs. On January 24, Dr. Harvey Cleckley, internationally known psychi- atrist, was the guest speaker, and at the club ' s final meeting of winter quarter, Mr. John Williams, a compara- tive psychologist from the University of Florida, discussed his doctoral dissertation concerning the learning process in Caymens a dangerous animal similar to the alligator. During the 1966-67 school year, the Psychology Club proved to be one of Augusta College ' s most progressive organizations. They sponsored candidates for every contest and constructed an attractive Homecoming proj- ect. With the rapid growth of our campus and the Psy- chology Department, this organization has met the demands of our student body. FIRST ROW (L to R) George Dawson, Nancy LeZoUe, Linda Carpourtz.

WHITE COLUMNS STAFF Annual Is Story of AC — Past, Present and Future The White Columns for 1967 most nearly approaches the original purpose for a yearbook an historical account of the year. In the annual is featured a surprise opening section consisting of a history of Augusta College from the Civil War Days to the 1966-1967 school year. A true spirit of the campus is the ultimate goal of the staff. Hours were spent on the drudgery of initial and last minute planning, such as trying to assign appointments for individual class portraits, organizing group shots, and most of all the last minute surging of drawing proper lay- outs and composing copy. During the spring quarter eight representatives from the annual staff attended the Southern College and Uni- versities seminar at Stone Mountain Inn. New techniques and dimensions in yearbook production were discussed and illustrated by experts in the various yearbook fields, thus giving the staff a better insight to yearbook planning. Although the staff strives for originality, correctness, and appeal, its quality of work would be far less without the advice of Mr. Dan Troy, representative of the Ameri- can Yearbook Company. All of these things and much more went into the pro- duction of the best Augusta College Yearbook ever.

ACTIVITIES SSfT • fM. ' ■At- ' CSi STUDENT LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE SGA Held First Annual Leadership Conference Before the fall quarter of 1966 more than sixty Augus- ta College students convened at the campus student center and conducted a two-day student leadership con- ference. William Tate the Dean of Men at the University of Georgia opened the conference. The primary objective of the conference was to encourage the principal leaders to strive for better unification of the four-year educational institution and to instill the importance of elected posi- tion in student leaders. Officers of all clubs, the two pub- lications, and the faculty advisors of the clubs partici- pated. The theme of the conference was Leadership Through Understanding. The challenge was presented by the Rev. Daniel Munn, chaplain at the Medical College of Georgia. Sam L. Bodie, student body president, brought all campus leaders together to discuss questions pertaining to student life, to unify the student campus leaders toward a central goal, to hear from noted state leaders about their views of the attitudes of a leader, to demonstrate that Augusta College is striving to encourage campus leaders to be leaders before their fellow students, and to establish a precedent for the Augusta College Student Government Association in the first year of the leader ' s conference. ip4 130 Sammie Bodie adjusts microphone for Mr. Thompson Mike (iigandel.

It all started with a day of orientation for the approximately 900 bewildered freshmen. This program featured the college administration and faculty members. Augusta College President Gerald B. Robins began the orienta- tion with a welcome address. Others who participated in the freshman program were Dean John H. Gleason, Reg- istrar Martin, Dr. Frank Chou, Billy B. Thompson, and others representing the administration. Much information was given to the freshmen about school policies and other general topics. Registration, as always, was quite hectic. This year was more confusing than ever due to the over 2,000 students who enrolled. Many students finished reg- istering in a little worse shape than they started, but all managed somehow to make it through to the end — the parking permit! By winter quarter all students were skilled in the art of registering. Orientation and registra- tion were climaxed by the getting-to-know-you-dance. The dance was sponsored by the Augusta College Student Government and held in the Student Center on Septem- ber 30. The music was provided by the Vikings from Birmi: gham, Alabama. By this time Augusta College life w23 in full swing. 132 Mrs. Hobbs strives to help sliidents register. Nursing students join the mad confusion of registration.

Julian Smith Casino was the scene for the activity in October of 1966. The students danced to the current hits provided by Lewis Jones and his band The Pall- bearers. The Circle K Dance and Decoration Committee put much effort into the success of the dance. The Casino was decorated in royal blue and white, the school colors. Streamers hung across the arch windows and from the ceiling. The stage for the band was also gaily decorated. Other members enthusiastically sold their quota of tickets for the dance. Willis Roland, president, reported that La Bachanale was a great success for Circle K and that those attending enjoyed the dance very much. Barbara B and her date enjoy a little logelherness. Carol Haskell and Diane Meyers dance to the music of the Pagans. Several students wait patiently during Pagan ' s break. 134 SENIOR DAY SEA Sponsor Senior Day for High School Seniors Representatives from some ten or twelve area high schools flooded the Augusta College campus on January 12, 1967. Their purpose was to attend the College Day Program sponsored by the Student Education Associa- tion. The proceedings were held in the gymnasium. Gen- eral questions concerning the basic entrance requirements and academic standards were answered for the benefit of the high school seniors. Panel moderator and college counselor, Mr. Floyd Falany presented the various ad- ministrative divisions. Other members of the panel were George Martin, Registrar; Elizabeth deBeaugrine, Fac- ulty Co-ordinator of Student Activities; Dean John H. Gleason; Dr. Frank Chou, Director of Extended Services; Mike Gigandet, vice-president of student council; Sam- mie Bodie, president of student council; and S. Lee Wal- lace, Director of Student Services. After this informative hour the coeds were taken on a tour of the campus by SEA members. Included in the general tour were the library, gymn. Student Center, music and art buildings and the administrative complex. Each tour concluded with a meeting in the major department of the students pref- erence, with department heads in charge.

They may not have been professionals, but they had lots of spirit! Of course, the football team referred to was the Collegiate Civitans ' team actually two teams. Mem- bers of Civitans donned football apparatus and took over the role of pigskin players. Civitan members of the senior and junior classes were pitted against the greener members of the sophomore and freshman classes. Both teams combined what they had of skill and determination to make quite a battle of it. The elTorls of the spunky sophomores and freshmen proved to be too much of a handful for the decrepit seniors and juniors. The younger players won out, too! Due to the hard work of the cheerleaders, both teams were inspired to play their best. These cheerleaders, of course, were none other ' han H. I). Salterwhile and l.onnic llollitiay. Their cheers ' ,vcre recogni ed by spectators to be some of the most unusual ever presented. Highlighting the half- time of the game was the announcing of the 1966 Big Civie . Nominations were made by the Civitans and then presented to the student body for voting. Ciinger Walker, president of Civitans, announced Jimmy 1 indley to be this year ' s Big Civie. 143 SLAVE SELL Slave Market in Student Center Was Real Bargain Anyone visiting the AC campus for the first time on February 16, would have been quite surprised if they had gone into the Student Center about noon. It would seem that the student body had gone bacic in time to the old tradition of selling slaves. Actually, it had, in the form of Alpha Phi Omega ' s Slave Sell. Seven of Augusta College ' s bravest and prettiest co-eds were auctioned off to the lucky males with the highest bids. Many of the slaves proved to be quite expensive, but a lot of AC males seemed to get real bargains. Professor Keith Cowling forced himself to serve as the auctioneer for the day and did quite a good job ot it. The slaves were every- thing from shy and embarrassed to giggly and hammy. The slaves and their masters were as follows: Baby Brenda Rabun to the choir; Kissable Karen Cross to Keith Cowling; Vivacious Vickie Horn to Mike Grover; Petulant Pam Davis to Art Benton, DulTy Brandon, and Bobby Auvenshire; Delerious Dianne Dorn to Wayne Pulliam; Hot Lips Holly ShurtlefT to Bill Coal, Phil Corly, Ray Ganaway, Jon Davis, and Chuck Nel- son; and Roudy Ruthie Whaley to David Nuno. 144 Hut Lips Hully Shiirtleff goes for $6,251 Mr. Cowling lakes bids jur Kissahle Karen Cross. .4 C men eye the slaves.

The Augusta College Collegiate Civitans spon- sored the event in order to raise money for their annual project, a basketball scholarship, presented to the Ath- letic Department. The winning faculty team skinned by the Civitans with a thirty-three to twenty-seven score. The co-ordinated faculty players were Mr. Birdseye, Dr. Frank. Mr. Freeman. Mrs. Hudson, Mr. Quesenberry, Mr. Slirewalt, Miss Townsend, and Coach Vanover. The most unvaluable player award was given to Mr. Stirewalt for his co-ordination and skill in leading his team to victory. A squad consisting of Keith Cowling and members of various organizations on AC campus cheered the faculty team ty their victory against the AC red, night-shirted team. H. D. Satterwhite and .limmy Thomp- son refereed the game as Coach Burau kept the score. Nancy Le otte, chairman of the Civitan ' s Student Faculty Game Committee, reported that the event had the best turnout ever and that the proceeds benefitted greatly to the basketball scholarship. 146 P5r T«?

These elections were numerous and played an important role in the life of the campus. The student body chose two queens, Miss Christmas Belle and Miss Homecoming to reign over the two big dances of the year. Augusta College students also expressed themselves through voting for class officers and repre- sentatives-at-large for the Student Government Associa- tion. During fall quarter, there was much campaigning and sign posting for the new freshman class officers and representatives, also for positions vacated by upper classes. At the beginning of the spring quarter, cam- paigning began again for the 1967-1968 class officers and representatives for the up-coming senior, junior, and sophomore classes. Probably the most important election of the year was the adoption of the new constitution for Augusta College. Although the old one was completely out of date, there was much dispute and interest in the adoption of the new one written by members of Student Government, Faculty, Administration, and approved by the Faculty Committee and Dr. Robins.

The Town Criers In Con- cert appeared at eight o ' clock p.m. before a capacity crowd of students and faculty in the college gym. Not only did the group of four young men display great talent in the field of music, but also they proved to be great entertainers in the field of comedy. Each young vocalist was introduced to the audience by one of their fellow workers. Presenting a great variety of music, they sang songs from the soft, romantic Go Away Little Girl to the jazz of When the Saints Go Marching In to many types of the popular folk music. The audience was also greatly enriched by the presentation of Them Poems, a highly cultural type of literature, written and recited by one of the members of the group. The two-hour show was the result of much hard work on the part of the Convocations Committee which was headed by Phyllis Reese. The Convocations Program was spon- sored by the Student Government Association and was certainly a treat for all who attended. I 154 A Csludenls anxiouslv await the appearance l the Town Criers.

After announcing that Diane Meyers was chosen Miss K-Deb Willis Rowland presents her with red roses. Circle K Club Chose Diane Meyers K-Deb On the Friday evening of May 12, 1967, Miss Diane Meyers was named Miss K-Deb 1967-1968, at a dance in her honor sponsored by the Augusta College Circle K Club. She was selected by the club from a bevy of beau- ties which included Bonnie Britton, Elizabeth Cordes, Pam Davis, Brenda Gardner, and Mary Lynn Hummel. Each of the contestants was sponsored by a Circle K Club Member. Willis Rowland, president of Circle K announced that Miss Meyers had been chosen Miss K-Deb over the other five contestants and presented her with a half-dozen red roses. During her reign Miss Meyers will be the club ' s sponsor in any campus events during the 1967-1968 school year. Also at the dance, the most uncoveted title on campus, The Ugly Man was bestowed on Walter Garrett. He was chosen from the following: Keith Cowling, Bill Do- men, Walter Garrett, Walter D. Worsham. Mr. Garrett was chosen by the penney motes of the Student Body. Miss Meyers, her court.

The event took place at Julian Smith Casino and featured the New Breeds and Mr. Bare- footin ' himself, Robert Parker. Highlighting the evening was the announcement of Alpha Phi Omega ' s outstand- ing brother of the year and also its sweetheart for 1967. Five brothers had been nominated for this first award and were voted on by the fraternity members. He was chosen on the basis of his service to his fraternity, school, and community. This year ' s award was given to Ken Badke, president of the fraternity. The sweetheart for 1967 was chosen from a field of seven candidates. Each of the girls were introduced to the fraternity brothers at a tea and fashion show several weeks before the ballots were cast. The candidates were as follows: Phyllis Cadle, Marie D ' Antignac, Pam Davis, Sharon Day, Dianne Dorn, Sheila Hummel, and Brenda Rabun. Ray Ganaway, chairman of the dance committee, finally revealed the name of the 1967 APO Sweetheart to be Marie D ' Antig- nac. After being congratulated with roses, her pin, and a kiss, Marie led otT the next dance with Ken Badke, presi- dent and brother of the year. 15S Alpha Phi Omega Sweetheart 1967 Miss Marie D ' Antienac 159 FIELD DAY Field Day Was Fun Day for Spectators and Crowd Spirits were high and the sun shone brightly over the AC campus on May 3. Field Day 1967. The day, spon- sored each year by the Student Government Association, was, as usual, a highlight of the spring quarter. Partici- pants and spectators alike all left for home a little dirtier, but happier, than when thev arrived. With the request of Dr. Robins, classes were dismissed at the end of third period for the rest of the day so students could com- pletely enjoy the activities of the day. Activities were many and points were given to the classes along with each victory. Rivalry grew as the highest class juggled between freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. But in the end, the proved to be the most versa- tile. And versatility was certainly the desired trait, for events were numerous. Skills were needed for water- melon eating, leap frogging, sawdust hunting, and three- legged racing. Circle K ' s Little 500 tricycle race proved to be quite an endurance test. David Nuno was crowned to reign as Miss Field Day 1967. The pie eating contest ended up as a pie throwing contest, and there were many more contestants than were planned on. The fun-filled day was the product of much hard work on the part of Phyllis Cadle and her Field Day Committee. 160 s -  ¥ | -fc . • Marie DA ntignac may not win. hut she gives it a good try.

At a convention held at Stone Mountain, Georgia, four of the top men in the American Yearbook Company chose Carol over eleven other beauties. These men judged the three pictures of each girl, and, therefore, the contest was mainly photogenic. Each of the candidates were spon- sored by different organizations on campus. Miss Haskell was sponsored by the Biology Club. The other candidates and their sponsors were as follows: Miss Pam Davis — Alpha Phi Omega; Miss Linda Harrison —Circle K; Miss Annette Hebbard — Psychology Club; Miss Lanie Jones — Phi Beta Lambda; Miss Charlotte Morris — Inter- Varsity; Miss Beverly Mulherin-Augusta College Choir; Miss Judy Samples — Young Republicans; Miss Linda Sible — Baptist Student Union — 1st Runner-up; Miss Cookie Sikes — Student Education Association; Miss Har- riett Story — Newman Club; and Mrs. Nancy Tabb — Collegiate Civitans.

Dr. Robins conferred the first degrees ever given by Augusta College as a senior insti- tution on these students. Dr. Lewis Webster Jones, chair- man of the Joint Council on Economic Education and the main speaker advised that the graduates not to limit themselves to formal education, whether in college or graduate school. Colleges cannot teach everything, he said but you can, by your own selection from ail the rich and varied and available resources of the world you live in, continue to educate yourself in relevant knowl- edge, in appreciation, understanding and enjoyment. Professor Joseph Le Conte Talley became an emeritus professor of physics during the ceremony. Since the college began as a junior college, Talley has devoted forty years to its growth. Greetings and congratulations were also given by Roy V. Harris for the Board of Regents, Dr. Harry B. O ' Rear pr. ' sident from the Medical College of Georgia, William Morris, member of Board of Regents, and Henry Neal, Executive Secretary, Board of Regents. 72 Mr. and Mrs. Davis seem lo enjoy getting the chance lo dress formally.

A high school graduate suddenly becomes a college norm. Students encount- er newjrontiers as they face the challenge of greater learning. There are attentive, enthusiastic ones, but there are the apathetic, disinter- ested ones, too. There are teachers provoking thoughts-a mind is awakened. Each in its own way is a brief , fragmentary glimpse of life at college-always challenging, always progressing. And so a year has passed: peo- ple, events, all memories recorded on the pages of this, our yearbook. The memories may go unattended, the pages unobserved. But the awareness of a year passed invests itself somewhere in our lives. The in- tense reality of the present excludes the relevance of that which has passed. But in a day far hence, when the dreams have taken form, when the hopes have been realized, it will be well to look back and say: these were the hopes and dreams . . . these were the PEOPLE.

Editor 209 Editor ' s Epitaph The story of a year — the conflicts, confrontations, contributions, and conquests could not possibly be revealed between the covers of a simple book. For each individual at Augusta College, the story is different and the scope is varied. The degrees of feelings of devotion, effort, and spirit will all differ in intensity from time to time, situation to situation. However, as the WHITE COLUMNS tries to bring you what is considered a new dimension in yearbook production, I sincerely hope that we have captured Augusta College 1967 as you would like to remember it. Many long hours of planning and production have been given by a most dedicated staff in hopes that we could bring to you the story of a most important year. Not only is 1967 the Fortieth Anniversary of Augusta College, but it marks the beginning of many rich and fulfilling lives. In the years to come when each of us has left the campus to realize our individual dreams, I hope that we can look back at this edition and give it the honor and respect it so deserves. So, on behalf of the White Columns Staff, I extend our most sincere congratulations to the Stu- dents, Faculty, and Administration for a very progressive and memorable year — a year that is now part of the proud heritage of Augusta College. Best Wishes, 77 AY ( ctAdJ 210 Mary Jo Rivers Editor-in-Chief r?;) ; , ' ' ,
