— Central Weslevan College Central. South Carolina Nineteen Hundred and Sixtv-Six Sandra Day Mike Hill Editor Business Manager f?Look to This Day! For it is Life, the very Life of Life. n its brief Course lie all the Verities and Realities of your Existence: The Bliss of Growth, The Glory of Action, The Splendour of Beauty; For Yesterday is but a Dream And Tomorrow is only a Vision: But Today well-lived makes Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness, And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope. Look well therefore to this Day!” Taken from the Sanskrit 2 3 Dedicated to DR. ROY S. NICHOLSON “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he de- lighteth in his way.” (Psalm 37:23) With his very life ordered by the Lord, Dr. Roy S. Nicholson has made an extremely valuable contribution to Central Wesleyan College, his alma mater, and to Wesleyan Methodism as a whole. It is a distinct honor to have him on our faculty to serve as the chairman of the Division of Religion. Dr. Nicholson is a teacher, a lecturer, a learned scholar, an out- standing speaker, and a world traveler. At Central Wesleyan we never cease to be amazed at his accomplishments and at the way in which he meets the demands made upon him from all over the world. During the first semester of this school year he made an important trip to Japan delivering lectures on holiness and supplying literary material for the evangelical movement there. A man of God, a man of prayer. Dr. Nicholson possesses wisdom far exceeding that of merely an educated man. Courteous and under- standing, he lends a helping hand to anyone in need regardless of person or position. As a personal advisor and counselor, he deals very tenderly and always seems to know just what to do and say. His unlimited sense of humor is a tonic to all those with whom he comes in contact. In the classroom he strives not only to teach his students knowledge of the Bible but also to instill within them a de- sire to experience what the Bible teaches. Just as we think of the administration building as a landmark of Central Wesleyan College, we consider you. Dr. Nicholson, a vital part of our college. Because you help to make Central Wesleyan College a better institution of learning, we dedicate to you this sixtieth anniversary edition of our yearbook, the 1966 Centrclian. 5 LOOK TO THIS DAY! For it is Life, the very Life of Life. 6 In its brief Course lie all the Verities and Realities of your Existence:... i The Splendor of Beauty;. . ' Action, . . . For Yesterday is but a Dream At Central Wesleyan College the dreams of yesterday linger, but the past is fast fading. As old conventionalities fade and newer ones appear on the horizon, our campus continuously takes on a new look—new buildings, new styles, new faces, new inventions. When one looks backward from 1966 to 1906 when our college was founded, he sees a vast amount of progress in every area. May this sixtieth anniversary Centralian display in some manner the glory of the past and the vision of a bright future for Central Wesleyan College. 10 II PHYSICAL ED. - STUDENT UNION BLDG.

I he son of a Wesleyan Methodist minister, Bev Shea began his singing career in the choir of his father’s church. According to him, it was when he came to know the Lord as his Saviour that he discovered the messages in hymns. This familiar voice has presented the true gospel of Christ to millions. As his songs touched the hearts of those present, we considered it a distinct honor to have him minister to us in song. Music Department The Music Department at Central Wesleyan College includes various musical groups. A regular feature of Central W esleyan, the College Choir is directed by Professor Leonard Brank. The melodies of the Male Chorus, a newly formed group on our campus, have been enjoyed this year. From the freshman class the College Male Quartet of 1966 draws its talented members.

The purchase of new equipment, which enabled the two teams to play tackle, made football more exciting than ever. In the first game of the season the Kee- wanis Rams slaughtered the Philomathian Falcons by un unmentionable score. The KAS were led by Jack Brooks and Allen Gilbert as everything went right for them and nothing worked for the Philomathians. 56 Graham leads DeBrule on end sweep which picked big yardage. 1965 Special thanks is extended to those who contributed to the purchase of this equip- ment. especially to Mr. Charles Ellenburg and Mr. George Newton of Easley. S. C., who were responsible for a large sum of the money that was donated. In the second game of the season, the KAS caught in the first half to gain 32 points against the Philomathians only to stop there and allow the PAS to score 14 points to their nothing in the second half. The PAS were led by Don Milstead and Eugene Bradley. 57 One of ihe inanv pass interceptions made bv the alert defensive backs of the KAS. Teams in Action Brank runs option around end for a big first down. Starting off with a sense of victory the KAS rompcrl to their third consecutive vic- tory of the season. A stuhhorn defense proved the difference as Rob Allred. Doug King, and Tommy Moore proved loo much for the PAS offense. Milslcad catches a Bradley pass for good yardage. DeBrule is pulled down from behind by PAS tacklers. The freshmen on the KAS took no back seat in the fourth game of the season. Larry DeBrule gained 71 vards in carrying the ball eight times. Eugene Bradley led the PAS without much success as many of his passes were baited down or picked off by alert KAS defensive backs. 58 DeBrule makes good yardage up the middle. Homecoming PAS dose in lo swamp DeBrule under. Wallace makes catch over PAS defender. The biggest Hay of the season finally rolled around. It was the annual Homecoming at Central Wesleyan College. The crowds gathered early at the J. B. Childs Athletic Field only to watch the KAS plod over the “Phillies” by the score of 320. There was action throughout the game as the PAS fought hard to score. The KAS with their heads high kept right on rolling as they scored once in each quarter. As the athletic societies took a breather for half-time, the activities started. With the Daniel High School Band playing softly in the background, the queen's court filed onto the field escorted by KAS and PAS players. Then last year’s queen. Miss Vinelle Phillips, crowned the new queen, Miss Geneva Staley, a senior from Ashe- boro. North Carolina. 59 Brooks kicks off for the KAS. Football All Stars 1965 Tomm Boys Basketball 1966 Boys’ basketball season again fount! the KAS Rams the favorites for the third straight year. The BAS hopes were higli because all their starters were returning plus some freshmen who were felt to give the PAS a lift. As the first game rolled around, the KAS rolled to their thirteenth straight victory since some of the fresh- men for the FAS failed to come through. The KAS led by Hearn, Brooks, Thompson, Wallace, Belk. Black, Slaughter, Cole, and Rush went through their third straight season undefeated. 62 Barrett drives around Slaughter. Brank scores two on snow bird. Thompson controls tap. Everhart drives on allace. 63 Graham scores two on lay-up. Hearn scores two on follow-up shot. Milstead grabs rebound.

They had four of their six starters re- turning in addition to some outstanding freshmen. The games were elose; but the PAS Falcons led by Ginny Johnson, their high scorer, were just too much for the KAS Rams as the Falcons went through the season undefeated.

C. MULLINAX President Wise and dependable. Dr. R. C. Mullinax has rendered invaluable service as President of Central Wesleyan College. We appreciate his Christian leadership and his concern for our growth in every area. Varied duties are the lot of our adminis- tration. In addition to their responsibilities here at the college Dr. C. R. Rickman, Aca- demic Dean, and Dr. P. B. Wood, Dean of Students, represented the administration, the faculty, and the student body this year on a two-week missionary tour in the Caribbean. All have served well, but outstanding service has been rendered by Dr. J. W'alden Tysinger, Director of Public Relations, in reaching the goal of the Five-Year Advancement Campaign. We are grateful for all our administrative per- sonnel and for their dedication to God and Christian education. Composed of Christian business leaders and ministers, the Board of Trustees has representa- tives from each conference in the Southern Area.

Applications for jobs have been made. The future meets the seniors face to face. How swiftly these years have passed! The quiet talks, supper at the lake, a few snowball battles, chapel programs, revivals, dorm prayer meetings, con- centrated study, choir trips, and Friday nights all combine to make “yesterday a dream of happiness.” The seniors are ex- posed to the first responsibilities of their major fields. Those preparing to be teachers have tried their ability by practice teaching for eight weeks. Ministerial students have served on gospel teams sent out from the college. A challenging phase of life lies just ahead. We have experienced the “bliss of growth. and “the glory of action,” and we view tomorrow as “a vision of hope.” And as every tomorrow approaches, may we pray, “0 God, grant us Thy wisdom, courage, and strength to live ‘this day’ for Thee.” 86 Prof, and Mrs. James Hill SPONSORS ALICE M.

Secretary JUNIOR Cl SS OFFICERS Class of 1967 “Action’' is characteristic of the juniors. By observing them at work with their many money-making projects, one would think they were training for a degree in salesmanship! Re- ceipts from doughnut sales, a car wash, football programs, and candy all go toward presenting one of the highlights of the year the Junior-Senior Banquet. Planning this event reminds them that in one year they will he the guests of honor instead of the hosts and hostesses, As they shoulder more responsibilities, they catch a vague vision of the future and realize that they must live each day at it best in order to prepare for tomorrow'. The branches of general knowledge must now bear leaves—de- tailed knowledge in major fields to build intelligent graduates for tomorrow. 94 . Dr. and Mrs. J. W.

President SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Class of 1968 Experiencing the “bliss of growth,” the sophomores reach the stage of a somewhat substantial plant ready to produce depend- able branches. As they advance toward the halfway mark, they assume greater responsibilities and make many important de- cisions. “Where do I go from here?” “Will 1 choose the right direction? These questions come to each mind as the decision to branch out and choose a major faces each sophomore. With leaders and followers in numerous fields, the sophomore class is vital to the strengthening and the growth of Central Wesleyan College. 100 Dr. and Mrs. C.

The first few weeks were lived in anticipation of the first weekend freshmen could go home. Initiation Day proved to be very amusing as freshmen humbly obeyed upperclassmen. After their introduction to college life with its fascination and its perplexities, they were gradually absorbed into the world of their home away from home as yesterday became a “dream.” With limitless energy the class has contributed in the athletic, aesthetic, academic, social, and spiritual aspects of life at C.W.C. The seeds of knowledge, planted in the yesterdays of elementary school and nurtured through the years of high school, have now begun their growth as a young tree in the realm of higher education. 106 Dr. Martin LaBar SPONSOR Philip Baily—“Phil” Sussex, N, J.

At this season commemorating the birth of Christ, we listened again to the story which never grows old. Our beautiful float, de- signed by Ray Barnwell, carried out the theme “Isaiah ’twas foretold it.” It won prizes including several first places. In order to accommodate guests two Christmas Banquets were en- joyed instead of the one traditional banquet—one for outside guests and faculty with the students serving and the other for students with the faculty serving. Entertainment was furnished both nights by the students. Christmas came to the entire campus. Separate class parties were held just before the holidays. The dormitories were beauti- fully decorated. Angels and Cherubs in the girls’ dorm secretly aided in carrying out the spirit of the season. 114 . Tse a little colored gal... Yes?

Relieved and thankful, the Editor and the Business Manager can finally relax- at least until the long-anticipated hut fearful moment when the yearbook arrives in its final form. Dead- lines have been met, last-minute tasks completed, and other minute details settled. A prayer of gratitude escapes the lips as the final shipment is mailed. There have been bad times and good times—failures and successes—disappoint- ments and thrills—sorrows and joys. Thoughts of the troubles and trials of being an editor or a business manager bring a sigh of relief that the end has come; however, thoughts of the responsibilities and rewards of these posi- tions bring a feeling of remorse. Just to think that it is almost over! Eong hours of toil have been spent. From a large group of staff members “the faithful few bate emerged to labor unceasingly to make possible this yearbook. The editorial staff has faithfully performed a multiplicity of tasks large and small, making plans and executing them. Perhaps the business staff has carried the biggest responsibility—selling enough advertisements to finance the book. Mrs. Helen Calhoon. our Advisor, has spent long hours approving lay- outs and copy; she has somehow remained patient with us through it all. To all these and to others who have helped, each in his own wray, saying “thank you” is not enough. Without dependable and conscientious staff members, the challenge of editing and financing a yearbook would be overwhelming. May this 1966 Centralian mean to you what it has meant to us. Today is the day for each of us to be concerned about our well-being—physically, spiritually, socially, emotionally, and academically. Only as w'e live today to its fullest and best, can our yesterdays be dreams of happiness and satis- faction and our tomorrows be visions of true, well-founded hope. May each receive a challenge from these thoughts, and learn to live well a day at a time. W'e realize that it is impossible to please everyone with a publication. Although some will be dissatisfied, we hope that we have pleased the majority. There will definitely be mistakes as we are human; however, some of the com- plaints will be invalid. Now the book has left our hands, and it is yours. Much prayer has gone into its planning, editing, and financing. God has blessed and helped; we feel that, with His blessing and our hard work, we have done our best. May the book express to you a true picture of the todays, yesterdays, and tomorrows at Central Wesleyan College. As the Hill looked over the Day, he said, It’s finished!
