«s The YONCOJPIN JAN HANSON Editor KENNON MOODY Business Manager ' ■0P. S £ ■ H FOREWORD Perhaps the most important element in modern art is balance of color, design, and perspective. A perfect harmony of the three will produce a lasting and pleasing memory in the mind of the artist and his public. Our school life can be compared to a modern composition and is equally as dependent on the element of balance. Campus days are colorful and, while we are in college, a great deal depends on the perspective from which we view friends and events. We begin with a fresh canvas, weave our own designs, and are free to determine whether our individual patterns will be pleasing at the end of our college years. Your 1955 YONCOPIN has served as a large canvas to record the designs of Centenary College during the past year. The YONCOPIN, in the same manner, acts as a mobile. The balancing staff is composed of the delightful individuals— both faculty and students— on our campus. At measured intervals on this rod we have added the elements of athletics, organizations, activities, features, and Greeks. After long hours of debate, planning, and hard work, the whole creation —your YONCOPIN— is set into motion and maintains an ideal balance. From our studios, we present to you, with satisfaction and pride, your YONCOPIN, and dedicate it to the Centenary students of the past, who have done so much to give us this balance which we strive to maintain.

Models of Motion x s The PRESIDENT This year marks the tenth anniversary of Dr. Joe J. AAickle as president of Centenary College and this page is devoted to saying a word of thanks for all he has done for our beloved alma mater. Since Dr. AAickle has been on the campus, both our physical plant and our academic rating have soared. Realizing that lovely surround- ings are of grea t importance to school spirit, Dr. AAickle has done much to add such buildings as the modern Science Building, the Brown Chapel, the new T. L. James Memorial Dormitory, and the Rotary Hall addition. All types of beauti- fication projects have served to make our campus a pleasure to the eye as well as to the mind. In addition to enhancing the physical aspect of our campus, Dr. AAickle has added many learned men to the roster of our faculty, thus improving our scholastic rating. . • To you we say a heartfelt thank-you, Dr. AAickle, for bringing our school many steps closer to the realization of the plans for the Greater Centenary.

Members of the Honor Court are nominated by the student body and the twenty students with the greatest number of nomina- tions are submitted to the faculty. From these twenty, the faculty select eight names for further consider- ation. The Student Sencte then names the five students who will serve as the Court for the following year. Centenary has had the honor system for only two years, but it has added much to the atmosphere of our campus. Pete Harbuck is Chief Justice, John D. Baker is Associate Justice, and Barbara Hood served as Clerk of the Court. After Barbara ' s graduation, Carol Norwood served as Clerk for the Spring Semester. 61 Jan Hanson, Editor ' 55 YONCOPIN STAFF Editor JAN HANSON Business Manager KENNON MOODY Assistant Business Manager OSCAR CLOYD Photographer WAYNE ALFRED Activities Editor MARION GREELY Features Editor MARTHA STEPHENSON Organizations Editor MARION DAVIS Greeks Editor CAROL NORWOOD R.O.T.C.

This coop- eration exists between administration, faculty, staff, student body, business manager, local merchants, and editor. It attempts to picture for you the entire school year, its many phases with their sorrows and joys. It is your concrete memento of your school days and, no matter what path you may take in life, we hope that it will always arouse poignant memories of your years spent at Centenary College. Every moment of time that is spent on the yearbook is a sincere attempt on the part of the staff to please the members of the student body. The only hope of the staff is that you will appreciate and be proud of our finished product. The Yoncopin Activity and Cooperation Awards this year went to Martha Stephenson, Jerry Orr, and Carol Norwood. Lawrence, Orr, McClure, Donaldson, Thornton. 63 Bill Corrington, Editor Often it seems to the editor of the Conglomerate that he will have to put out a blank paper because of lack of time and cooperation, but he seems to perform a miracle and the finished product is at last available. For completing a tiresome and never-ending job, the editor de- serves a hearty vote of thanks.
