- •- — ■ • ' ■ ■ t --h - r Tm iT st niim YONCOPIN 1986 V ,.- . w HSP The 1985-86 academic year will always be remembered as a stellar season at Centenary College. A new core curriculum and computer lab were shining stars in this year ' s academic program. Two professors were installed in endowed chairs: Dr. Barrie Richardson, Sample Professor of Busi- ness Administration, and Dr. Austin Sartin, Class of ' 59, Woolf Professor of Geology. We saw great improvements in buildings and grounds includ- ing Haynes Gymnasium and the Weight Room, the lobbies of Sexton and James dorms and Jackson Hall, and the Green Room in the CAF, which is not green any more at all. Our Freshman class — the largest in a long time — was exuberant and exciting. The sophomores and juniors provided much of the leadership, and the seniors enjoyed being seniors. It was the Year of the Rising Spirit, and everyone got in on the fun. It was the brightest and best year ever. Ours are the Brightest and the Best — 3 Greeks One of the most colorful days on the Centenary Calen- der is Bid Day. After a hectic week called rush partici- pants learn which of the two sororities has offered them a bid. Besides these two sororities there are two fraterni- ties. All greeks take part in service projects to the com- munity and wonderful social lives. 4 — Brightest and Best Athletics From the basketball court to the rifle range, athletic Ladies and Gentlemen are shining stars for Centenary College. We win and lose on the field of competition, but we always win in teamwork. .

The favorite hangout facelifts took place in James, Sexton, and Cline dorms, Haynes Gymnasi- um, Jackson Hall and the cafeteria. Haynes Gymnasium received an addition to the weight room-the Universal Gym, Jackson Hall and Sexton got new lobbies, James and Cline dorms received additions to the lobby and new paint jobs, and the CAF no longer had a Green Room. Ours are the Brightest and the Best — 7 Student Life l I ■ ■■■■■■■■■■■ ft r The free time spent away from studies is very special to students, and very much deserved. Though some students sit back and relax when free time is presented to them, most submerge themselves in the numerous activities Centenary offers. This year got off to a spirited start, with a pep rally honoring the athletes. The theme, Year of the Rising Spirit was appropriate as students, faculty, and administration stood beside their athletes to cheer them on to victory. Attending Fall Ball, watching VCR movies in the SUB, and going to various fraternity and sorority parties on the weekends are just a sampling of the activities students participated in. Many students kept tradition and headed for Mama Mia ' s on Thursday nights, or visited MurrelPs to stop the hunger pains, or dance the night away at Stars. Wherever Centenary students go, and no matter what is done, it is done with style and class, and why shouldn ' t it be? For The shine ' s on them. Centenary Classics For the first time in many years, peo- ple were excited about Fall Ball. The Student Government Association, which plans this annual event, worked very hard to make it a success. Gnder the direction of Entertainment Chairperson Karen Mulling, Fall Ball re- ceived renewed interest and enthusi- asm. For the first time, it was not just a formal dance, but a semi-formal cos- tume ball. The theme of Fall Ball ' 85 was ' Come as you Were ' and students did just that. People came dressed as Mickey Mouses, pirates, gypsies, wall flowers, babies, M. and M. ' s and even the Jolly Green Giant. Another new addition to Fall Ball this year was its location, the Strand The- atre. The Strand stage was the perfect place to dance to the music of Dorsey Summerfield and the Polyphonies or sample the hor d ' oevures and free Champagne. A good time was had by all. When the party was over people took with them more than Champagne glass- es and masquerade masks. They left with memories of a night well-spent. Chris Keating, Mary Jo Monzingo, Lori Simmons, Eudora Kent, and Johnny Myles enjoy Fall Ball. The Best Costume contest was one of the Highlights of the evening. ■ 10 — Fall Ball 1985 A man of a right spirit is not a man of narrow and private views, but is great- ly interested and con- cerned for the good of the community to which he belongs, and particularly of the city or village in which he resides, and for the true welfare of the society of which he is a member. Jonathan Edwards SUB Time For A Change o © c We are the last classes to remember the 1985-86 version of the Student Union Building. By the time we get this yearbook, our fundraising efforts during SUB Week will have paid off . . . literally. The SCJB has undergone a new paint job, has new wallpaper and furniture. The SUB is a place to play . . . pool, ping-pong, and electronic games; to relax ... in the coffee- house with the big-screen TV, and to work ... in the SGA office or media rooms. In the basement are housed the post office and bookstore, and plans call for the addition of post offices boxes for all the students. 12 The Caf: Hub Of Campus Leaky Roof Tries Patience The Cafeteria is probably the most popular place on campus. Al- most all of Centenary ' s students come here two or three times a day to eat their meals. The Caf, as it is fondly called, is where students meet friends they haven ' t seen all day. It ' s also a great place just to relax. Some students study for ex- ams or catch up on reading assign- ments while eating their meal. Some organizations have their own tables at which the members come together to eat, talk, and have a good time. The Cafeteria staff works hard to give students good and nutritious meals. The Caf sponsors cook-outs in the Bandshell where students can enjoy a different and informal setting. A big thank-you goes out to our Caf Staff for all their hard work. The 1985-86 school year will best be remembered for the times that the Caf roof leaked. This caused students to eat in the S outh Dining Hall and have lunches in the SUB. We were all inconvenienced; how- ever, students, faculty, and staff proved that we could handle any disaster with patience and under- standing ... a trait which is domi- nant at Centenary College. 13 Where To Study? College and studying just seem to go together. The students at Centenary can find some of the most interesting places to study. Some find it easier to study in their dorm rooms amidst their dirty clothes and messy room and others find studying in the library the place for peace and quiet. However, if you look hard you may even see a walkman or two for those who must have their music. Some enjoy studying on Centenary ' s beauti- ful grounds whether it be on the steps of the dorm, in the bandshell, or under a shady tree. Wit h studying comes test and papers. Centenary has a unique system by which we as students show honor in taking exams and writing papers. I have neither given nor received any aid on this exam or paper as 1 shall report to the honor court is a common statement found on students ' papers. Students are trusted by the faculty to use good judgement and common sense when taking exams or writing papers. Centena- ry ' s system is as unique as its study places. 1 % 14 15 Dorm Life: Are We Having Fun Yet? What exactly is dorm life at Centenary Dorm life is popcorn; hauling laundry dowr stairs only to discover all the washers are ful fire drills at 3:00 a.m.; soap opera crowds. ii James Lobby; roommates; waiting by th mail box; making friends; keeping old frienc ships; Home! Another aspect of dorm life is the parkin lots. Each student who purchases a parkim permit is issued a lot in which to park. Thi sounds simple, but with the large number c students owning vechicles, it is usually a bi difficult to find a place to park. Many sti dents are forced to park in another parkin lot, and upon walking to their car the nex day, discover Smitty ' s memento. Once a pei son is lucky enough to find a parking spac they may retreat into their rooms and forge about the world if need be. For many students, the dorm room is thei own little apartment. Students here put extn effort into making their rooms comfortable Many have purchased carpets, some have refrigerators, some even microwaves, and o: course, the usual paraphernalia is hung fron the walls. Rooms range from many differen styles. Some are neat, some messy, color cc ordinated, or very individualistic. Many houn of a student ' s life are spent within the walls o the dorm. Studying, socializing and sleepinj are some of the basic activities employed b] students. Studying, one of the main activities stu dents partake in, causes many feelings Around 10:30 p.m. the most usual strikes — hunger. Some go to Murrell ' s while most tak advantage of free deliveries and order pizz from Domino ' s, Pizza King, and Mr. Gatti ' s. Making the dorms more comfortable an more like home, the College did some exten sive repair work over the summer. Thougl Rotary and Hardin received no repairs, Jame; got a new paint job in all its rooms, nev additions to the lobby, and some rooms ir Proper received the long-awaited doors. Sex ton got a facelift when its lobby was remod eled and carpet put down. Cline receivec doors and freshly painted walls.- Also helpinj to make the dorms more like home are th resident directors, dorm staffs, dorm coun cils, and maintenance staff. Without thes« people the dorms would not run so smoothly A dorm is interpreted differently by manj different students, but for nine months it re mains a sanctuary and prison, but most of all home. 16 ©eo© if C3 ZZi !mZ!

Student Life — 19 Intramurals- Fun For All From football to ping pong, basketball to volleyball, the Intramural program has something to interest everyone. The pro- gram offers organized, highly structured competition for all Centenary students and faculty. Each year over 200 people partici- pate in Intramural activities. The entire In- tramural program is an excellent way for students to get involved, meet people, and stay in shape all at the same time. With the variety of sporting events offered, there is an Intramural event for everyone. 20 — Student Life kidited Student Life — 21 THE PRIDE IS CATCHING Centenary ranked among best in U.S. News poll Centenary College has been named one of America ' s best colleges in a na- tionwide poll of college presidents. The survey by U.S. News World Report asked the presidents of 1,318 four-year colleges and universities to pick the top five undergraduate schools from a list of institutions simi- lar to their own. according to size and academic offerings. About 60 percent, or 788, presidents responded. Centenary was ranked sixth among 168 smaller comprehensive schools in the South. In making their selections, the of- ficials were asked to consider factors such as curriculum strength, teaching quality and learning atmosphere. The survey results were published in an article in the magazine ' s Nov. 25 issue. When combining this U.S. News with last months New York Times assessment on the best buys in colleg e education, it shows Centenary is outstanding. I applaud U.S. News World Report ' s judgment. Dr. Donald Webb, Centenary president, said Monday. Centenary listed in ' Best Buys ' By LARRY BURTON Times Education Writer I ' d like to go to Centenary, but I can ' t afford it. That comment is heard fairly often by Centenary College recruiters, says John Lambert, the private school ' s di rector of admissions. But the ex- perience is worth the money, accord- ing to a new consumer ' s guide to high- er education. Centenary is among 221 public and private institutions to be featured in The Best Buys in College Educa- tion. The 400-page paperback by Ed- ward B. Fiske, education editor of The New York Times, is to hit bookstores in October. Loyola University in New Orleans and LSU-Baton Rouge will also ap- pear In Best Buys. This (publication) is one we really wanted to get in, says Lambert, who plans to seize it as a marketing tool. This kind of information is usually picked up by newspapers and national magazines, and that will give us some good exposure. It also goes along with our big theme this year, ' Centenary, the affordable college in the South. ' In compiling the book, Fiske sent questionnaires to hundreds, of schools nationwide. I have a previous book that has a lot of the better-known schools. But since people are so concerned about cost these days, I thought it would be helpful to list schools that might not be that well known, but still have rich and diverse programs and have managed to keep their costs down, said Fiske during a phone interview. In other words, those schools providing a quali- ty education in relation to the cost. Per-semester tuition at Centenary is 12,100 for full-time students, said. Lambert, who estimates that room and board, meals, books and day-to- day expenses bring that to $4,000. Tui- tion at Loyola, also a private school, is $2,414, while LSU-Baton Rouge charges $637, tops among Louisiana public universities. The price of Centenary has not de- terred top students from enrolling, ac- cording to another publication, Peterson ' s Competitive Colleges. That guide lists Centenary among 316 schools that consistently have more above-average undergraduate appli- cants than they can accept Reprinted With Permission From The Times. JML.

For the first time, many new adults are away from home. Their new independence may be somewhat overwhelming as they must learn crash courses in financial and time management. Study- ing is another new aspect of college life most new students aren ' t prepared for. This year ' s freshman class had over two hundred members, making it the largest class at Centenary. From the very beginning, they werre involved. Many freshman became pledges to Greek fraterni- ties or sororities; others joined media, religious, musical, and athletic groups. With guidance from the upperclassmen, fresh- men soon learned the places to be after classes were through. Mama Mia ' s was almost a must on Thursday where the beer flowed in the beer garden for twenty-five cents. Happy Hour at Cadillac Grill and Ladies ' Night at Star ' s were other weekday hot spots. For the late night study crowd, Murrell ' s and George ' s Grill were popular places to be. The Freshman Reception was hosted by President Webb.

The paper became The Conglomerate in 1923, and today, nearly a century after its inception, the now weekly publication is still an intergral part of Centenary ' s media system. The 1985-86 Conglomerate began with new writers and fresh ideas. The new Conglomerate added color to every other issue and there was never a lack of articles. In fact, a surplus of writing was common. Editor Tom CJfert brought bold ideas and much-needed enthusiasm to the newspaper. Laura Glaze handled the business to make the budget. Scott C. Andrews, as news editor, reported all the news that ' s fit to print. Alex Beam held the job of keeping up with sports activities and Blythe Lee kept us laughing and amused as entertainment editor. Photographers Kim Caldwell and Ann Beatty added their pictures, especially in the new weekly picture p age. Members of the staff were: Larry and Tina Morse, Wesley Garrison, David Mayer, Kathy Scherer, Theresa Wiggins, Charles Brierre, Eric Brock, Lindy Scarborough, Lisa Kelly, and Brian Leach. With so much new freshman talent and experienced members to put it all together, The Conglomerate took stands on world, as well as college situations. With the improvement, it has become exactly what the slogan says, Better Read Than Dead, An Eighty Year Tradition . Members of The Conglomerate staff include (standing, left to right) Scott Andrews, Wesly Garrison, Gina Gilliland, David Mayer, Lisa Kelly, Larry Morse, Laura Glaze, Kim Caldwell, Stuart Graham, and (seated, left to right) Amy Belleau, Blythe Lee, Tom (Jfert, and Tina Hackett-Morse.

It was Elizabeth Burgess who suggested the winning name for Centenary ' s first Shreveport- campus yearbook in 1921. it is the Indian name for the particular water lily that grows almost exclusively in the shal- low lakes and rivers of North Louisiana . . . and which may soon grow in our own Louisiana native garden pond. Did Mother Nature mean that the combina- ton of strength and beauty in this largest lotus would be emblemat- ic of a co-educational institution? As the 1921 announcement ar- ticle in The Conglomerate report- ed (and times have not really changed) We know we are mak- ing tradition and want you to be proud of your annual, as a per- manent record of Centenary. The fundamentals of the school, the very p ops of Centenary will be set down in black and white so that you may turn back and point out he reasons for her greatness.

Is it just wild parties and kegs of beer? Is it no more than a facade of friendship? The answer to these questions is a definite NO! The Greek system is much more. When Greek organizations were first started, they were founded on principles of service, love, brotherhood, and loyalty. These ideas are still evident in the system today. While non-Greeks may see only the social aspect, those inside can tell of another dimension -special times, special friends, self-confidence, esteem, and unfaltering support. It is these principles that make the Greek system successful. Members of Greek organizations take pride in being Greek and strive to make the system the best it can be.

They are involved in Alpha Epsilon Delta, Alpha Chi, Who ' s Who, Omicron Delta Kappa, Centenary Choir, IFC, Dorm Council and ZTA Big Brothers. Annual Social events include Geek Party, Mafia Party, Christmas Party and the infamous Florida road trip. 103 Greeks: A Viewpoint Patrick Sewell - There is a quality present in all fraternities, an indispensible property which allows faternities to work. It is the most valua ble, most visible, and the most plentiful property a fraternity possesses. It has many names: comradery, brotherhood, togetheress. It is this quality for which I joined a fraternity. Rene Poole - I think the Greek System is an integral part of Centenary. The Greeks ' as well as the Independents ' social systems seem to revolve around the Greek System. This gives a feeling of unity to the whole campus, and I don ' t know of any other college ' s Greek System that has that kind of a positive effect. Ron Scott - The Greek System at Centena- ry is a vital component of the social and intramural atmosphere. I find it hard to picture Centenary without the Greek sys- tem. Matt Robinson - The Greek experience at Centenary is truly unique. With relatively small chapter sizes, the sense of closeness among the brotherhoods and sisterhoods is amplified considerably. Fraternities allow their members to build lifelong friendships while gathering many wonderful memo- ries. Ann Beaty - The Greek system contri- butes to the total Centenary community in several ways. Greeks participate on cam- pus by promoting school spirit at athletic events and sponsoring all-campus parties. Aside from the parties, the Greek organiza- tions are geared toward scholarship and high academic success. Jeff Wider- The Centenary Greek System has a lot to offer. Anyone can make some- thing of himself in the system if he wants. It ' s unique because it ' s small enough for everyone to know each other-unlike larger schools where it is impossible to know ev- eryone in other organizations. 104 The Other Side Service is the other side of Greek life. To be a faternity, an organization must have service as one of its foundations. Groups at Centenary offer service to the college and com- munity through campus cleanups, parties for handicapped children and retarded adults, canned food drives and the Great Teachers-Scholars Phonathon. It is this side of the Greek life that proves the Greek organizations are a vital part of this campus. 105 Greek Councils The Greek system is governed by the Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Council. They serve as a connection between the individual Greek organizations and between the Greeks and the administration. The goal of these governing bodies is to preserve harmony within the Greek system. The members of the Panhellenic Council are (seated, left to right) Paula Gault; Miriam Goins, President; Lynri Hanson; (standing, left to right) Susan Beaubouef; Kendall Lloyd. Members of IFC are (front row) Bubba Prestwood; Mark Terry, President; Joe Bisquerra; Jeff Goins; Matt Robinson; Patrick Sewell; Marvin Bennett, Advisor; (back row) Frank Carroll; Jeff Hilder; Alex Beam; Chris Jensen; Leonard Ratley. 106 ' -. .  Vw- -N ' : wr. .

Over two-thirds of the faculty hold terminal degrees. Eleven members of the faculty and staff have earned the coveted key of Phi Beta Kappa. Thirteen have the honor of membership in Omicron Delta Kapp. Within the past decade Centenary professors have been awarded an impressive number of research fellowships and study grants by the American Council of Learned Societies, the American Philosophical Society, the Henry E. Huntington Library, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. (There have been ten NEH awards to Centenary professors.) During that same period, Centenary faculty members have also been honored as Danforth Associates, Fulbright lecturers, national officers in professional associations, and visiting professors in American and European universities. With a student professor ratio of twelve to one, the classes at Centenary range in size from 30 students in popular introductory courses to 6 to 10 students in junior and senior seminars. 109 President Donald Webb The Shine ' s on the President of Centenary College, Dr. Donald Webb. As the president of this institution of higher learning, Dr. Webb has promoted Centenary and has increased its endowment fund. Without this man ' s sincere character, our school might not be as presti- gious as it is. A very warm thank you goes to Dr. Webb for keeping our college shining! 110 Vice President Darrell Loyless .c ' Dean Of The College Dorothy Gwin in Dean Of Students Office Dick Anders Dean of Students Joy Jeffers Assistant Dean of Students Leah Volentine Secretary Placement Coordinator Emily McWilliams Secretary and Facilities Coordinator Nancy Harner Director of Student Activities Bruce Allen Assistant Professor of Art Assistant Curator Meadows Museum Bert Scott Director of Church Careers David Bedard Assistant Professor Of Physical Education Betsy Boze Assistant Professor of Business Anne Rogers Instructor of English Robert R.

A strength in the student body filled the shell with cheers of support, and the year ' s opening pep assembly began a rising spirit. Not only was competition heated between the teams themselves, but also, among campus organizations. Who would win the spirit stick? Being on top didn ' t matter. What made the win was being there. The soccer field had its bleachers filled early in the year, and seemed to maintain its audience throughout the season. With new talented strengths on the squad like Tommy Poole and Allen Higgins, fans were sure to show even on the grey days. Who would miss Albert ' Bobo ' Thomas in his final year? The basketball team ' s sharp improvement from the previous year drew a crowd of enthusiasts. Along with the cheerleading squad and Phil Howell, the Homecoming Classic forced tense competition among basketball fans which developed naturally into an overwhelming feeling of spirited power. The baseball team played to a large attraction. Proud of the squad ' s home record of 17-11, students never regreted sitting in the heat of March and April ' s sun. Just pulled out the sun glasses, and cheered the team on to victory. These seasons were only examples of the influence sports had on campus unity. Intramurals were one of the greatest forces in the spirit pull. Centenary was an explosion of involvement with a filled schedule and roster in nine different athletic groups: soccer, basketball, tennis, golf, baseball, riflery, gymnastics, cross country and volleyball. Though, of course, where would the screams and cheers be had Phil Howell not struck his gentlemanly pose or Susan Beauboeuf taken so well to Danny Gleason ' s shoulders. Their spirit-leadership livened up many poor attempts at It ' s Hot in Here. Triumphantly, the year won many championships in the eyes of the faithful, vivacious sports fans. 131 Intramurals Over the traffic, the ball is passed to With one jerk, Laura Sullivan grabs the flag. %% « Giving her all, pulls back for the throw. 132 W¥ ■•VAV.V AW, W AV.V.V. .VV, In blocking position, Tammy Courville and Jennifer Jones await Sue Joiners rush.

Hardin field was orna- ntally decorated with torn red and yellow gs from the previous game. It was a tense  ment for all involved. Zentenary has not had a football team ce the forties. Remarkably, the spirit of the rt has continued with the support of cam- s organizations. Each organization must fill appropriate roster in order to represented the game. The outcome of involvement lintained its success and during those fall •nths, competition grew stiff, rhe champions would leave the field with a  se of accomplishment as well as a t-shirt, mething like a super bowl ring, t-shirts re awarded to the winning team. This ac- knowledgement became an added incentive to participate not to mention win. Participa- tion became the key especially with onlook- ers. For example, a male player, after his game, might have remained to watch his fa- vorite female on the field. At the moment the game whistle blew, the players for the female championships were intent and serious on winning. With the loss of their play book, the CHOR team suffered sev- eral set-backs. The huddle became an anxious and confusing den. The God Squad, thus, found its chance to turn the game to its favor. In the heat of the game, the CHOR quarter- back, Tami Anderson, turned her ankle. She continued to play, but soon after her accident the game was over. The God Squad became the year ' s champions. Intramural sports flourished as a means to provide social interaction. Football was only one out of several competitive sports. Also making their season was volleyball, basket- ball and coed baseball. If students weren ' t watching a game, they were often playing one. So, football, in addition to the other sports, continued to maintain its exciting place among Centenary ' s long list of activities. Even though the teams had names such as Chi Omega, Kappa Alpha and God Squad instead of Gents and Ladies, undoubtedly they proved important to campus life. 133 BASKETBALL Tommy Vardeman Larry Bagley Tommy Canterbury Moving The Ball Past Midcourt, Gents Improve Record The sound of stomping feet filled the Gold Dome. As the volume grew, the fever rose. All eyes watched the ball travel from one end of the court to the next and back again. Time out was called, and Mr. Centenary took the floor. In the midst of the heated tension, the Gent began to peel off his clothes. The crowd stomped for more as their team headed, with strong determination, back on the court. We were there to win. Last season was not at all memorable. The Gents saw their worst season since the sixties with an overall record of 7-21. The weakness was in the guard position which ended up placing the pressure on (Albert) ' Bobo ' Thom- as. Failure often occured in the backcourt, and it became a challenge to get the ball past midcourt. In hopes of improving the record, strong guards were recruited for both point and wing. Blanton Hill, Gene Vandenlangenberg and Pete Scalia gave relief to the previous year ' s suffering backcourt. Another plus for the team was the addition of forward, Fred McNealey, the number one high school pros- pect. Together with the many returnees, these four newcomers helped build the team ' s performance. The loss for the 1986-87 season will be the graduation of ' Bobo ' Thomas and Randall Da- vis, both very strong forwards. Thomas earned first team All-TAAC honors a year ago on the strength of 16 double digit scoring and rebounding performances. Davis was brilliant last year with his 20-point, 20-rebound ganr against Mercer, an occurance that had peared only three times before in Centenary! history. Both players added polish and sty to the team. As a whole, the team improved in its gua position. According to Canterbury, tit coaching staff relationship is as comfortafci and positive as there is anywhere. The spi of a strong team developed this year: Thorrt maintained his brilliance as leading scorer as rebounder followed closely by the strength newcomers Vandenlangenberg and McN« ley. (They will be the next year ' s hope.) TT results were an overall record of 13-17 witri TAAC record of 6-8. 134 il row, L to R): Blanton !!•!, Albert Thomas, (Second row): Winfred Jones, Troy Sewell, Rodney Martin ' Fred .

Having the most impressive batting average, in- fielder Lance Barnett led with a .357 as a result of the fifty-five game season. Another strong talent on the team was Darrell Storey who averaged a .325 out of 39 games. At bat 114 times, Storey made 37 hits, 27 runs and managed to bat in 22 runs. Other fielders with sig- nificant contributions to the season were Mark Alstot (at bat 173, .306 AVQ), center Louis Parker (at bat 155, .290 AVG), Tim Navarro (AB 152, .289 AVG) and Richard Tuite (AB 186, .306 AVG). Barnett was again remarkable with a field average of .970 (390 put-outs) fol- lowed closely by Louis Parker (.967 FLD AVG, 222 PO). With a high record of stolen bases, Roy Gilbert had a field average of .911, stealing 17 bases (2 CS.) Ranking tough in the same cate- gory, Mark Alstot stole 13 bases (5 CS, .936 FLD AVG) followed by Navarro (1 1 SB, 8 CS, .910 FLD AVG). Mean on the pitcher ' s mound, Ste- phen Koeppen pulled the highest, win- ning percentage (.778) with a win-loss record of 7-2. Ricky Bryant carried the second highest percentage (.750) with a win-loss-save of 3-1-1 followed by the strength of Byron Copeland (.667, 6-3). Due to the poor road record of 10-17, the Gents suffered from an overall of 27- 28. o 2 27 Louisiana College 2 28 •■ North western 3 1 McNeese 3. 4 Henderson State University 3 7-8 University of Arkansas Little Rock 2 23 Jaivis Ji ColK].- 2 27 Louisiana College 2 Northwestern 3 I McNeese 3 ' 4 Henderson Stale University 3.7 8 Univeisity of Arkansas Little Rock 3 10 East Texas Baptist University 3 1 1.14 Southern Arkansas University 3 15 LeTourneau Colleae 3 17 GramMinSgljf J ' JO mjMlieaM 3 21 22 Hardin Simmons 3 24 Jarvis Jr College 3 25 Grambbng ; 3 26 Louisiana State University 3 27 South Dakota State 3 28 Henderson State 3 31 East Texas; Baptist University 4.- 4 LeTourneau C ll ..je 4 b Tenas College 4 7 Louisiana College 4 9 LoufSianB Vr University 4, III?

The Centenary soccer team posted its final overall record of 14-61 which moved them into their second winning sea- son. In 1984, the record was 13-8 and this year proved even more successful. They have won the East Texas Shootout for the fourth consecutive year, a winning streak of five games at midsemester and played well against nationally ranked teams such as Albama A M, SMU and Houston Baptist. At the end of the hard season, Tom- my Poole remained Centenary ' s leading scor- er with 26 points (12 goals and 2 assists). Following close behind was Allen Higgins with 24 points (6 goals and 12 assists). Higgins led the team over twice its average on assists. Steve Fath (18 pts, 7 goals, 4 asst) and Jeff Patterson (14 pts, 7 goals) proved to be strong midfielders. Close in competition with points, Mike Alumbaugh, Chris Golden and Carlos Cantu prided the squad ' s performance. Goalkeeper Damin Hall guarded the net with a touch of expertise, allowing just 24 goals on the year, his average was 1.4 per game and magnificently, he also recorded seven shutouts in the season. 1 9 6 9 8 Sam Houston State 9 13 9 14 LeTourneau Colege Ouachita Baptist 9 15 9 17 St. Mary ' s University Southern Methodist 9 JH 9 2.2 University University of Tulsa Northeastern Oklahoma State 9 27 Austin College 9 29 Trinity University 10 4-5 East Texas Shootout 10 8 Northeast Louisiana 10 12 |BHJ||l| BfSW ■ ■ SCHEDULE _l 141 TENNIS ,: !

The first year of Ladies ' Volley- ball had discouraging results, however, ac- cording to Larry Bagley, They played hard, were competitive, and had a good time. The team ' s failure was most likely due to the fact that it consisted of volunteer players who had little or no experience. This year they were represented at the Northeast Invitational Tournament and the Centenary Invitational. The Gents attribute their loses this season to the fact that several key players were in- jured throughout the season. Bagley said, The only time they were all together was during TAAC. The need for players became exceedingly important as a few basketball players were recruited for the team. Their tournaments this year were the Centenary In- vitational, University of Texas at San Anto- nio, University of Alabama at Birmingham and TAAC. (Front row. L to R): Denise Bedard, Donna Ball.

Parading home from the Southern Methodist Universi- ty campus where cheerleading camp is held each year, the group was decorated with rib- bons of all colors. They tagged one blue rib- bon (superior), two reds (excellent), and one white (outstanding). As if that weren ' t enough, the squad also walked away with the spirit stick. This was only the beginning of a year full of hard work. Intense practice began early the fall semester pushing two to three nights a week at two hours a shot on the team. In keeping up this pep and work, the squad held several fund raisers. We have a small budget. Most of it pays for the camp, and then, well, there ' s not enough for supplies. We have to raise money for things like shoes, said cheerleading captain Danny Gleason. The group judged cheerleading try- outs at local high schools, held car washes and sold Homecoming sweat shirts. The mon- ey helped to suit them up for their seasonal performances in the Gold Dome and the open- ing pep rally. Not only did the cheerleaders pull together a good show, but also formed strong team work. In the Homecoming competition, the squad fought neck and neck with the Student Activities Committee. Clntil the very last day, the championship was promising. They admi- rably placed fourth. iiium ' :■ - -: -■:-■ RY G 156 L WlKil MOKGMCS JANUARY 16 MERCER IHEHRM SO ' CRtOC IARKUTTU a VISITOR 3 ?2% m 5 PLAYER FOULS t HARDIN SIM « HOUSTON BAPTIST 10 NORTHWEST 20 SAMFORO 22 6E0RCIAST Gr p ' Susan Beaubouef Shannon Corley Becca Lang Dana Phillips Dee Ann Williams Rick Anders ' Jim Andrews Danny Gleason Phil Howell, Gent Ron Scott Craig Spence ROSTER 157 Commencement Held May 18 Some 158 undergraduates and 31 gra- duate students were awarded degrees at Centenary ' s 161st Commencement exer- cises Sunday, May 18.
