Central Wesleyan College - Centralian Yearbook (Central, SC)

Text from Pages 1 - 184 of the 1968 volume:

Dedicated to Dr. R. C. Mullinax for his years of service and dedication to make Central Wesleyan College a better institution of learning. The 1968 Centralian is presented by The Yearbook Staff of Central Wesleyan College at Central, South Carolina Volume 34 3 Hold high the torch of beauty, truth and love! You did not light its glow— 'Twas given you by other hands, you know. 'Tis yours to keep it burning bright, Yours to pass on when you no more need light; 4 For there are other feet that we must guide, And other forms go marching by our side; Their eyes are watching every tear and smile, And efforts which we think are not worthwhile Are sometimes just the very helps they need, Actions to which their souls would give most heed; 7 8 So that in turn they’ll hold it high, and say, “I watched someone else carry it on this way.” If brighter paths should beckon you to choose, Would your small gain compare with all you’d lose? 9 ■ Hold high the torch of beauty, truth and love! You did not light its glow— 'Twas given you by other hands, you know. I think it started down its pathway bright, The day our Maker said: “Let there be light. And He once said, who hung on Calvary’s tree— “Ye are the light of the world.” Go! .. . Shine—for me. 15 distinction 17 18 Homecoming 1967 Miss Elizabeth Joiner, Queen 19 Frances Brooks—Phil Grubbs sponsor Gerald Warren Barbara Mullinax—David Durham sponsor John Mullinax Lera Smith—Joe Williams represent Junior Class 20 Kay Carter—Steve Byrd represent Sophomore Class Sandy White—Bill DuBose sponsor Toy Head Louise Lee—Mike Green sponsor Bill Tilton Myra Alexander—John Kelly sponsor Reggie Gentry Katie Brank—Dan Taylor sponsor Ronnie Brank Homecoming Court 21 Elizabeth Joiner—Charles Joiner represent Senior Class Joan Bell—Bill Taylor represent Freshman Class v' H- ■' Centralian Each year the Centralian Staff selects two people from the faculty, staff, or student body for special honors. This honor is bestowed upon those who have rendered services beneficial to the school beyond the duties obligated to their office. For their high character and personality, for their unlimited giving of them- selves, the 1968 Centralian staff has chosen two men whose influence will be felt for many years. Dr. R. S. Nicholson 22 Honors Ronnie Brank Who’s Who in American Colleges Leon Fowler Elizabeth Joiner and Universities Scholarship stems from the desire for knowledge and the curiosity to find the truth. Service proceeds from an inner longing to benefit mankind. Leadership is marked by self-confidence and poise. Character is the quality which blends the preceding three into an integrated whole to make unique, outstanding in- dividuals meriting this honor. 25 26 Miss Elizabeth Joiner 1968 Valentine Queen 1968 Valentine Court «•V-' 1 ‘ ; 1 •) ” JiJ I' ■f' o. ■ '“t f . % f; Joe Lusk, Prince; Kay Carter, Princess; Elizabeth Joiner, Queen; Rick Sims, King. participation 28 29 Christian Service Organization The Christian Service Organization guides young Christians toward greater spiritual maturity. Students, whether they plan to go into full time Christian service or to do lay work, can participate in gospel teams, jail teams, and visitation teams, thereby serving the com- munity and the church. Many of the ministerial stu- dents travel to churches of the Southern Area to hold youth services. Their ministry is a blessing to many as well as preparation for life's work.

This question need not be asked of our retiring President, Dr. R. C. Mullinax, for by his life he has proved willing. Willing to serve our Lord through serving Central Wesleyan College. Through twenty years, through changing times, he has upheld the principles which have kept Christ in every aspect of Central’s life— academic, financial, spiritual, and social. Under this godly man’s leadership Central Wesleyan has experienced many forward changes. Academically, she had advanced from a high school and junior col- lege to a four-year liberal arts college: the faculty, student body, and courses offered have increased greatly. Financially, Dr. Mullinax has offered much as- sistance in acquiring loans, grants, and gifts. Folger Fine Arts, Stuart-Bennett Dorm, and the Classroom- Science Building are monumental to his service here. Spiritually and socially no one can doubt the Christian influence spread upon the faculty, students and visitors. And now he is stepping down from his honored post. As a token of our appreciation for his twenty years of dedicated service, the Centralian staff dedicates the 1968 Centralian to a unique leader—Dr. R. C. Mullinax. Paul B.

Seniors Put New Importance on Old Events Four years ago, they arrived on Central's campus— naive and gullible. Sometimes with tears, sometimes with smiles, they have struggled through numerous exams, papers, and books, turning ignorance into wisdom. All possessed a vision; all had a goal. Some lost sight of their vision; others strove on to obtain it through two, three, four years. With naiveness lost and maturity gained, they have achieved their goal. Now, as seniors, they stand poised with increased character and knowledge, ready to take the first step toward applying what they have learned; ready to change what they have always thought of as their future into their present; ready to obtain fulfillment. 74 Myra Alexander Bob Allred Donna Baker Glenda Barker Ray Barnwell Ronnie Brank Carol Brewer Peggy Butler Steve Byrd 75 Satisfaction?

Not only stiff competition, but also an ample supply of spirit, steam, and sportsmanship combined to make the season one of which the students can be proud. Half-time pep talk increases the Savages' spirit. Sportsmanship exhibited in pre-game handshake. I V f Ill Savages meet Headhunters head-on. Paul Mullinax, Athletic Director It looks like another squeeze play. Homecoming Game Decides Season The fifth and final game of the season, played on Homecoming Day, resulted in the season’s title being awarded to the Savages, with the final score being 20-8. 113 Brank turns another corner.

The classes of '71 and '68 were the most impressive. The winners of the championship are to be highly commended and should be proud of their achieve- ment. 120 122 Class of '71 shows promise for this and future seasons. Class of ’7 I Captures Title Three teams sought the softball championship this year. The Freshman and Sophomore classes each produced a team with the third team being composed of Junior and Senior students. Each team played with spirit and enthusiasm, but when the dust cleared at the end of the season, it was the Class of '71 who triumphed.

They had many doubts as to their capability to fulfill the positions given them and also felt the doubts and questioning feelings other had as to whether they would be able to finish the job successfully. We want to thank those who doubted us, because their doubts kept us going when nothing else could. Also our sincere appreciation goes to the student body for giving us this opportuity to serve, learn, and grow. The following merit our deepest gratitude and appreciation: The faculty and student body for their patient understanding when we needed their help. Mr. Bob Allred for his willingness to take pictures any time and any place on such short notice. Also Mr. David McDonald and Mr. Buddy Rampey for their valuable service as photographers. Mr. Bill Morgan our Newsfoto representative and good friend. Mrs. Calhoun our sponsor who was always ready to help. The Staff, for the many hours spent working to make a good yearbook. The publishers for permission to use the poem that appears in the opening pages of the book. With great pride and gratitude we present to you the 1968 CENTRALIAN.

Tis yours to keep it burning bright. Yours to pass on when you no more need light; For there are other feet that we must guide. And other forms go marching by our side; Their eyes are watching every tear and smile. And efforts which we think are not worthwhile, Are sometimes just the very helps they need, Actions to which their souls would give most heed. 168 Autographs 169 F NEWSFOTO Your Yearbook Publisher
