1985 BLUEPRINT Bluefield State College Bluefield, West Virginia Oransitions The theme of the 1985 Blueprint is “Transitions.” Each of us experi- ence changes in our lives. We begin changing from the very moment we are born, and the transitions continue for the remainder of our lives. So it is with Bluefield State College. From the small beginnings of Bluefield Colored Institute, it has steadily progressed into the institution as we know it today. The 1985 Blueprint reflects these changes, as it is experi- encing changes itself. Under the capable leadership of Jim Worsham, the new advisor, the 1985 staff will attempt to take you through the college transitions from the past to the present. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Faculty and Staff Campus Candids Organizations Individuals Student Life Sports Student Activities BLUEFIELD STATE COLLEGE BLUEFIELD STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE BLUEFIELD COLORED INSTITUTE “TRANSITIONS” Since the beginning, the institute now known as Bluefield State College has been an institute full of change. In 1905, while operat- ing under the title of Bluefield Colored Institute, the college was not actually a college, but rather a high school. With the aid of the Negro Advisory Council, the school was raised to Junior College status in 1920 with R.P. Sims acting as the first president of the advancing institute. Then on August 20, 1922, Bluefield Colored Institute was authorized by the state board to offer full college courses. Seven years later, the class of 1929, consisting of four men and four women, graduated with Bachelor of Science degrees. From there the institute trudged on assuming new titles and add- ing to its college curriculum. aR Pass aes ohee Saba ri ae S43 The Blue Demons fade into the background.

Floats would adorn the streets of downtown Bluefield. Marching bands and clowns joined in the fun. Unfor- tunately, when the football team faded into the background — the parade ended and Bluefield State saw the last of marching bands and paper flowers. +8 J bt iets dS mae ee ae ae Ee vila a i i (} Aue ait pEee mt itt ane inh fant : ine er it , mig iS Lannea We Pant Above: Conley Hall the oldest building on campus.

Later the school.became’ an institu- tion of higher learning for Negroes. Renamed and given its apace Ue i a In 1931, the name of the institute was changed to Bluefield State Teachers College. Bluefield State be- gan to expand its campus. Construction on the campus: In 1930 Conley Hall was erected. It then housed the Science Department and its labs, English Department, Business Depart- ment, Administrative offices, and the business of- fices. The library was located in Mahood Hall. On the morning of April 23, 1937, a fire raged through the building virtually consuming the entire library col- lection. Construction of a new library began next to Conley Hall and on December 3, 1938, the new building was dedicated. On January 10, 1970, an addition to the library was approved. Dickason Hall was dedicated in 1952 with an addi- tion being approved in the fall of 1970. The addition now houses the computer center and nurses center. Construction of the Student Union began in 1962 and was finished by the 1963-64 academic year. In 1966, the Health and Physical Education Build- ing was built. In 1970, construction of the Basic Science Build- ing began. Before 1970, the site was occupied by Arter Hall, the old gymnasium, which was demol- ished. The building was opened for use in the fall of 1971. The Science Department was moved to Basic Science after a chemist almost destroyed Conley Hall when he combined the wrong ingredients. Ma- hood Hall was remodeled and the Business Depart- ment was moved from Conley Hall to Mahood Hall. A picture of Payne Hall that served as the men’s dorm.

Then in 1916 it was decided by a council to retain the present site and purchase additional acreage. As a re- sult of this, Mahood Hall, Lewis Hall, and Payne Hall were erected.

Dugger, President BSC Bluefield State College has over the years established itself as a reputable and effective college. It has fulfilled its mission very well. The successes of the past, as impressive as they have been, do not guarantee the college’s role in the future. The college will have to provide a high quality education and make it accessible to the citizens of the service area and beyond. This is going to require dedication, flexibility and hard work beyond what most of us have known. The model that was effective in the past will not necessarily be the right one for the future. The future of Bluefield State College will depend upon its ability to provide a solid academic background for students, equip them with occupational competencies, and attend to their social, cultural and personal develop- ment. This must all be done within an intellectually stimulating atmosphere. The college must always be out on the cutting edge of the future but must never lose its firm grasp on the past. The ingredients for future success are present. With students, faculty, and staff working together to assure a high quality education geared to the realities of the 1990's, I predict that the future of Bluefield State College will be bright indeed. 5 Earl S. Whiteley, Admin. Welch Hospital “The RBA Degree Program at “BSC” has offered me the oppor- tunity to address an occupation that I would not have normally had. Asa result of this program, I have been able to contribute to my own benefit and work in a very exciting and rewarding field of health care.” Rama Cardwell Graduated from BSC in 1982 with an A.S. degree in elementary edu. Rama now teaches special education at both Cumberland Heights and Ceres Elementary Schools. “The instructors guid- ance gave me an air of professionalism and enthusiasm toward education.” Steve Bourne Graduated from BSC in 1974 with an A.S. degree in Mining and a B.S. degree in Business Administration. Steve received his M.S. degree in Business from Radford University and came back to BSC in 1978 as coach of the football team and instructor of business. While continuing to teach, Steve is working on his doctorate at VPI. “BSC does an excellent job of making educa- tion practical and useful.” J. Franklin Long, Attorney “I found that the academic background that I received at BSC enabled me to compete in law school with all types of students, including those who received undergratuate degrees from such prestigious institutions as Harvard and Yale.” NO FOOD DRINKS OR SMOKING ¥ N POOL DOL LW Lere of Guest Pass Required The Deore Win Be Locked Aftee AOD po % ‘a Bank er Closed: June 1% + uy 8 PHYSICAL EDUCATION Education at Bluefield State College has been enhanced through the construction on campus.

SPECIAL THINGS FOR Bluefield State College is making the transition into the future to aid the Disabled Students. Alma Gibson and Aar on Poff are only two of our several disabled students. B.S.C. provides tutors, tapes and tape recorders for the visually impaired students, and whatever the students need to aid in the learning process. B.S.C. is planning to install an elevator in Dickason Hall, and a lift at the Library to make these buildings accessible to all students. If you can see what I hear. EE EEE ETE EEE Ee SPECIAL PEOPLE These changes around campus will give these students more independence. If you have a disability or a special need arises let Special Services or Academic Vice Presi- dent James O’Hara know about your need. They are willing to help in any possible way. The High School Model Unit- ed Nations Security Council Ses- sion is based on the notion of “learning by doing.” It is believed that by slipping into the role of a delegate from the country you are representing, you will learn about that country, the issues involved, the Security Council of the U.N., and the complexity of contempo- rary international relations.

Honorable Mention All-American and WVIAC Player-of-the- Year Lynne Kelly returned for her Junior year and her counter part, 3 time all conference player Pam Lucado, should lead the Lady Blues to their best season ever. A cast of experienced players, including 4 year starter Kim Townley and Robin Goings, and junior college standout Angie Fields anchored a lineup with much speed and offensive power with extraordinary reserve play from seniors Cindy Bowling and Sandra Fisher underneath the basket, and guard play of the sensational Dee Dee Hill and Sheila Huckleberry, the bench was rich and deep for the Lady Blues. Freshmen making notice on the squad were forwards Karen Morgan and Sherri Asbury and pesky point guard Angie Overbaugh. Sheila Hubleberry will split time with others as a Freshman wing also. At press time the Ladies were ranked No. 2 in the WVIAC with a 9-1 conference record and a 15-2 overall record. The foundation was set for the first women’s conference championship and Coach Kenny Mandeville said, “We have played with consistency and desire so far this season. Hopefully these same elements will enable us to win the next six conference games to claim the conference title.” Lynne Kelly was heading the Lady Blues in scoring and rebounding with 19.0 pts game and 11.5 reb game. Second in scoring and rebounding was Pam Lucado at 15.8 pts game and 6.4 rebounds. Kim Townley was a balanced offensive and defensive player with 5.0 assists and 3.1 steals per game and an average 7 pts game. Angie Fields, at point guard, was also averaging in double figures at 10.5 pts game. The enforcing Robin Goings had her best state of the year at 8.0 pts game and 6 reb game. Overall the Ladies were first in offensive scoring in the conference and third in defense. Uae Lady Blues have the magic touch for making points. Is someone sliding into home plate? Here’s a girl who can make a jump shot. 116 Sophomores SGA Senators. First Row (on floor): David Bryant, Becky Smith.

Even though the winners were not announced then, the candidates felt a little more relieved. On Feb. 1, the coronation ceremonies were held in the Basic-Science Auditorium. David Kellerman was emcee, and Donald Kensinger provided music. After the organizational queens were introduced, Patti Street (escorted by Jeff Handy) was announced as Miss Congeniality. The candidates were introduced next. The title of Miss Freshman went to Mary Gaminde. Tammy Devor (escorted by Tommy Harrison) was chosen as Miss Sophomore. Miss Junior was Ruth Ann Sharrock, escorted by Don Sharrock. Cookie Eastburn (escorted by Randy Colvard) was chosen as Miss Senior. The title of Miss BSC went to Vicki Jamison (escorted by John Haynes). Betty Underwood (Miss BSC-1984) was present to crown all of the winners. Cameras were flashing and the audience cheered as the homecoming ceremonies came to an end.
