For instance, there are a lot of new cars rolling of the assembly line these days, but none can match that special quality found in, say, a '57 Chevy. There were a lot of schools larger and more modern, but Bacone had that special quality. After 106 'fears Bacone College is a classic. Opening 3 .run i Q, 'Wff Zfggkmww' ,, eg, CD3 ?

I Q 12 M --S iii- Throughout the years, there have been many changes at Bacone. While Bacone students reflected the fashions, customs, and attitudes of the late 1980s, their basic reasons for attending Bacone were the same as those of the students that preceeded them - to gain the skills and knowledge to make a way in life.

Over 40 Bacone students helped Muskogee County Civil Defense officials prepare for the worst, by par- ticipating as victims and medical personnel in a mock disaster drill. The scenario for the mock disaster involved an airplane crashing into a crowded grandstand at Hat- box Field airport. State civil defense officials were on hand to grade the Muskogee agencies on response time and how well the various emergency services cooperated. For the disaster victims, the drillinvolved several hours of sitting while a make-up artist applied latex burns and scars. It also meant a sometimes painful removal of the make-up after the drill was over. The students involved in the drill were primarily nursing students. Some of the nursing students assisted medical teams in treating victims of the crash. 1. Going to Pieces - Teresa Spradlin and a mannequin arm create a grisly simulation. 2.

It was a day of contrasts. The sun was bright and the weather warm outside as the Rev. Charles Comfort, of Community Baptist Church of Tulsa, delivered the Bac- calaureate address on the morning of May 23, 1987. About 2 p.m. rain moved into the area, and the tradi- tional processional of faculty and graduates was moved inside the chapel basement. There were also contrasts in emotion between the solemn pomp and circumstance of the graduation ceremony, and the outrush ofjubilation afterwards when graduates realized the years of hard work and study were truly over. Laura Duncan, an accounting major from Chouteau, was named valedictorian of the Class of 1987, and Charles Dunlap, a math major from Broken Arrow, received the salutatorian award. Dion Washington, a business major from El Reno, and Souad Sultani, a nurs- ing major from Muskogee, were named Outstanding Male and Female Graduates. Wilma Mankiller, principal chief of the Cherokee Na- tion, and a member of the Bacone Board of Trustees, delivered the Commencement address. Mankiller urged students to believe in their own abilities and not to believe negative stereotypes others may try to impose upon them. 1.

Pinning Marks A Goal Reached or Bacone nursing students, the pinning ceremony is the culmination of a great deal of hard work and sacrifice. Forty-three graduates participated in the ceremony, which was held on the evening of May 22 at Memorial Chapel. Dr. Constance M. Baker, associate dean and director of the graduate program, College of Nurs- ing, at the University of Oklahoma, delivered the address. Anita Mathews received the Florence Nightingale Award, having been selected by a vote of nursing faculty as being the student who most exemplifed the standards set forth by the pioneer nurse. Souad Sultani and Cheryl Washington were named Student Nurses of the Year. They were selected by a vote of their fellow nursing students for the award. 1.

Upon entering Bacone, most of us seriously dread the thought of living in the dorms. By the end of the year everyone realized that it wasn't all that bad, that they survived, and that they might have a memory or two. Living on campus was probably how most of us met our friends. We got to know each other, mostly because we were forced to live together, and found out that we could share some good times. -3 fi .

Sometimes all we had to do was walk down to the lobby of our dorms to find swarms of companionship. After hours, friends moved to their separate dorms, but not always floors. Occasionally, there would be a group of friends together talking until the wee hours of the morning or until a dorm director warned them that they were too loud. Once friends were made, it became important to go places together. Since one of the reasons we live on campus is the lack of transportation, we set out on foot. There is probably hardly a person that didn't walk to 7-eleven or the mall at least once, or the mall. Even walking about campus seemed to give us the illusion of getting out. 24 Campus Life .,,. fi , y., vw Q, IP- A-Ifiifo' wfjy 's ,f-.. ,ff w..............-- 4-miwk . A 04 lr. .,, 1.

Photos by Kevin Watson. 26 Bacone students and faculty were discovering new ap- proaches to some areas of instruction as the concept of Writing Across the Curriculum was incorporated into many classes that previously had not required a great deal of writing. Also, students found that personal com- puters were becoming more and more a part of their lives, as the number of pcs grew across campus. Nursing, radiologic technology, computer science, business and art were the most popular majors for Bacone students. For many students, the advantage of attending Bacone was that the college classes were small, and most teachers were ready to help students. , K , 1 af' h 1 K if -sf! g I Academics 27 842 an J-mad' N., . is xg, mir, Sophomore Class Officers- Members of the Sophomore Class elected Jay Seymour, treasurerg Dave Asetoyer, secretaryg and Robbie Belcher, president.

While there were some minor problems, such as student being listed on the wrong class roll, for the most part the transition was a smooth one, and the enroll- ment ordeal was made a little easier for everyone concerned.

The group was the fourth group of graduates to complete the program. The occasion was the last pinning ceremony for Linda Pearson, director of the radiologic technology program since its inception six years ago. Pearson an- nounced that she was accepting a position with the University of Oklahoma. Unlike the Commencement Exercises held in May, the rad tech pinning ceremony is a smaller, more in- timate affair. That is not to say that it is less impor- tant, because for six graduates and their families it marked the end of several years of hard work and sacrifice. :A 'Q I for W. tl , Z .4 , U, my Qt sier eff, .M u,li, .,-J 2. 98 Radiologic Technology Pinning 5. 1.

Even for the students who will return next fall, things will have changed. No year will ever be quite like the one just finished. We will carry with us the memories of good times and the friends we have made. S57 ,- s X 1 fm , 'Y . ' Wwfz, ,. .,. ,A -, 4 fund, .w A .

I will always remember the days spent here. I have enjoyed working on the newspaper and yearbook, and as always we have ex- perienced the usual old problems: bad photo chemicals, retakes, late hours and deadlines. I hope you enjoy this yearbook just as much as we enjoyed making it. In the course of the past year, the year- book staff received a great deal of help, and many thanks are in order. Thanks to God, our Creator. Thanks to our parents for believing in us. Thanks to Doug Stephen for his help with making the transition to computers. Thanks to Dana for your help in the photo lab. Special thanks to our good friend Jon Smythe for his time and wit. To Baby Love, for all the late nights. And finally, to none other than Steve Kinder, our advisor. This book would not have been possible without your advice and guidance. Thank you. Kevin W.
