CLAUDE R RICKMAN —PRESIDENT Dr. Claude R. Rickman. B.S., M.D.. Th.D. On July 23, 1978, Dr. Claude R. Rickman began his tenth, and possible Ins last year as President of Central Wesleyan College. It was at the Sept. Board of Trustees meeting that Dr. Rickman asked and was granted his request to step down as President to return to the classroom. During the past ten years Dr. Rickman has set many goals that has improved the quality of education here at CWC. One of these goals was the school’s accreditation, which came about in 1973. In December of 1978, the school was re-accredited for the next ten years, something we all can be thankful for. A second project was the completion of the library-learning center. Dr. Rickman travels a great deal representing the college throughout the South, and thus he is not on campus as much as he would like to be. When he is here, though, his “open door” policy makes it possible for any student to go and talk with him. As the adequately qualified leader of our school, Dr. Rickman is a man, first of all dedicated to Christ, and secondly- dedicated to his purpose of training men and women. Dr. Rickman has a deep love and concern for all the students, so that could be one reason why the students will be seeing more of Dr. Rickman in the near future. 10 DEANS New faces were seen in both the Academic Dean and the Dean of Student’s office, as they assume duties this fall. Filling the position of Academic Dean was Stephen Calhoon, Jr. He earned his B.S. from Houghton. After a short stay in the army, Dr. Calhoon assumed a position as prof, of chemistry at Houghton. After teaching for several years, he took a leave of absence at which time he came to Central to set up its chemistry major. Dr. Calhoon stated that, “a wide range of committee work at the college level” and “the responsibilities in governance development and the administrative aspects of being a department head” were qualities that helped him to become Dean. His duties include setting up the curriculum, scheduling of classes and offering assistance to both student and faculty concerning academic problems. Stepping into the office of Dean of Students was Dr. Don Wood. He received his B.S. from Central and his Th.D. from Fuller Theological Seminary. Dr. Wood has been a part-time faculty member at John Wesley College. He has had experience and training in working with young people most of his life. He has served as President of the Southern Area Youth of the Wesleyan Church which should help him in this challenging new position. As Dean his duties include being responsible for all student affairs on campus, ind seeing that all students abide by the schools rules and regulations. Dr. Don Wood, Dean of Students 11 Ken Whitner - Business Manager BUSINESS MANAGER Mr. Ken Whitner, Business Manager, has as his main job the responsibility of keeping the school’s budget in order and to take care of any business dealings of the school, such as with maintenance of the buildings, the grounds and any new materials needed. Mr. Whitner works closely with the Financial Aid Officer and Accountant and has a concern for each student and their need. BUSINESS OFFICE Auzela Carey - Financial Aid Deanna Tegen Controller When that bill comes at the end of the semester and you ask yourself, “Who me, I don’t owe this’’, or maybe your club needs money from your account for expenses, then you go see one of these three people in the business office. Between Deanna Tegen Controller, Azela V. Carey Financial Aid Officer and Wes Coekman Accountant, any financial matter can be taken care of. These three people work hard keeping each students account straight and help each meet their financial obligation. 12 Wes Coekman Accountant REGISTRAR t' Jimmy Kimble Registrar PUBLIC RELATIONS Another new appointee this year was ot' Duane Janssen as Director of Development. Mr. Janssen is a graduate of Marion College. His past experience in public relations is extensive as he has attended numerous conferences and seminars. He is well experienced in the field as well, serving ten years as Director of Public Relations at Bartlesville Wesleyan College in Oklahoma. His results speak lor themselve, as stated by the Vice-President of Development who said. “Bartlesville is where it is today largely due to Mr. Jansen. He added, “since 1972 our enrollment has grown from under 200 to over 600.” In assuming his new duties. Mr. Janssen said, “I am looking forward to my association with CWC. .. ” At Urbana last Christmas, Mr. Janssen was the head of news service. We are really glad to have him join our staff. Assisting him is Mrs. Lillian Robbins, who will work with churches, missionary societies, alumni, etc., principly as fund raiser. Duane Jansen - Director of Development Mr. Jimmy Kimble, Registrar, is seen a lot on the first day of each new semester because he is the man responsible for each student registering properly. At first glance of all the papers handed to you when you begin, this could be your thoughts,... “15 things to do” . . . “look at how long that line is” .. . ‘Til be here all day registering” ... It may look bad at first, but actually it doesn't take all day. The procedure runs very smoothly, Mr. Kimble is also responsible for sending out the good grades at the end of each semester. ADMISSIONS David Jennings, Admission Counselor, is under the direction of Academic Dean, Stephen Calhoon. Mr. Jennings main job is to travel throughout the southern states talking to high schools, church groups, and civic organizations about CWC and talk to prospective students.

The concert choir went The beginning of March brought the Annual SGA sponsored ‘Basketball Marathon' on March 2 3 with continuous basketball action around the clock from Friday afternoon to Saturday midnight. Many students were seen dragging around the rest of the week from staying up all night. On the evening of the 9th we were treated to a special concert, the group being Re-Generation. It was nice to see our CWC friends who are part of this marvelous group. On March 16 through 25 most of the students enjoyed the time of being oul in the sun, as it was Spring Break, that is all except student teachers who did not get a break. Oh, well, only six more weeks. March ended with a day of entertainment on the soccer field followed by □ cook-out. on a tour somewhere during the month. The Jr. Sr. took place on the 14th and was held at Stone Mountain in Atlanta, Georgia. It sure was a shame that a certain person fell off the boat. Most students were starting to go crazy thinking about three months of vacation, while the seniors thought of what, when, where, how and why? The long awaited day finally came. May 3, the last day of classes for another school year As underclassman packed and went their seperate ways, seniors were busy practicing for their big day of glory When they would be awarded for four years of listening to lectures, writing term papers, reading collateral and for attending countless number of classes with a diploma. The big day Baccalureate and Commencement was Sunday May 6.___________________________________________________________________________________________ ACTIVITIES “Everyone Needs Someone.” How much wc enjoy these special events throughout the school year. These activities need us as the audience, for if nobody watches, their time is wasted. We need these events to set aside our work and worries and refresh our minds as we are entertained. SPIRTUAL EMPHASIS WEEKS To start off our new year students, staff and faculty set aside usual duties and obligations and gathered into the college church to hear Dr. William Coker from Asbury College who was the speaker for first semester Spiritual Emphasis Week. Dr. Coker spoke to each of us openly and really brought out new insights from God’s word. Music for tins week of services was provided by many students on campus. Though the week was short, it proved to be inspirational and many met with God and had their needs met. 66 Rev, Don Bray, Director of Recruitment, General Dept, ol World Missions, Marion Indiana, was the leader of the 2nd semester week of special services. Rev. Bray was a very sincere man who had a burden for our campus and the community. The highlight service was held on Friday morning in chapel, when he urged each to seek forgiveness, not only from God, but also from each other. He emphasized that we must be willing to forgive our fellow man and to make any resfatutions that the Holy Spirit lays on our heart, whether it be teacher, classmate or someone else. Rev. Bray was an honest man and was available throughout the day his week with us to help individual needs. Helping in the services was Greg Reynolds, who lead the song service each night and helped with special music. Those in attendance know that God moved in these meetings and would have to say that God used Rev. Bray to reach each of us. 67 STUDENTS ARE ADOPTED What, students calling their professors — Dad, and are those kids ’-eally Miss Buels'? The truth is that a new program undertaken within the last couple of years from the college church has actually allowed students to adopt moms and dads professors and church families to adopt sons and daughters. It's known as the Adopted Parents program and is open to any student attending CWC that would like to have a mom and dad here at school. Under the direction of Mrs. Patty Hudson, with help from Mrs. Oleta Freeze and Deanna Tegen, the programs purpose is to aquaint the students with each teacher and draw them closer together. Each student has a choice of parents and then it is the duty of the parents to invite their children over several times a year for fellowship. Twice a year all families gather for a time of togetherness, each family setting at one table. On Jan. 19 such an event took place in the basement of the church. Homemade chili - salad - apple pie - a good time of singing and fellowship - that’s what took place at this supper, as depicted in these photos. r 68 TOM KEY-AN EVENING WITH C.S. LEWIS On Tuesday evening, September 19, CWC sludcnts attended a special performance. Tom Key, a gifted and well traveled young man from Atlanta, Ga., came to our campus and presented “An Evening With C. S. Lewis.” Mr. Key, who has bookings all over the country, presented his two and a half hour performance before a packed Folger Auditorium. Mr. Key who does an outstanding job of his enactment of the character, C. S. Lewis, has been commented by some outstanding people in their own sense. Here’s a lew: Clyde Kilby, Author A Mind Awake An Anothology of C S. Lewis, “Your presentation of C. S. Lewis was excellent, a fact which was apparent by the standing ovation at the end ot your program!” Jeannette Clift George, Star of The Hiding Place said. “Tom Key's nobility of lire character lead us to honest drama.” Dr. Mel Lorentzen, Professor of Communication. Wheaton College, says, “Was it Theatre or were we actually in the lodgings of C. S. Lewis for an evening . . . such stimulating conversation is too rare these days. We must ask Key to let us visit Lewis again soon.” We were honored and entertained, “we must ask Key to let us visit Lewis again soon.” The long awaited day finally came, and when n was over some freshman were glad that the long day had finally come to a close. Many say that the freshman never looked better, but there was some disagreement with this statement. Although each went through some trying times by the upperclassmen, all enjoyed being the center of attention. The day ended with a gathering around the fountain, and everyone agreed that the day was successful in coining together and to become acquainted and make new friends. 70 TAL O The annual Missionary Convention, sponsored by Foreign Missions Fellowship, was held on Oct. 23 25, 1078. Tire purpose of the convention is to present missionaries from various fields to share their work of different cultures with the student body. This year the theme was “TOT AI IN VOL VEMENT” and the theme song was “AVAIL AULE”. Students were challenged and greatly informed for three days in both lectures and seminars ranging in topics from, “The ABCD of Total Involvement” to “Missions, What Does It Cost Me’’ . The speakers, who were all enjoyable, were: Miss Daisy Buby and Miss Flora Belle Slater, co-workers for more than 50 years in Mexico, Puerto Rico. Peru and the Phillippines; Reverend Pierre St. Ferdinard from Haifa, now involved in inner-city evangelism in Brooklyn, New York; and Reverend and Mrs. Alton Shea Christian radio workers in Sierra Leon, West Africa. 71 72 It was a dark and scary night Oct. 28ih as spooks, ghosts, monsters, witches, and other wierd looking creatures invaded CWC's student center and transformed it into a “Haunted Mouse '. Many of those that came were afraid. Let’s meet them. As wc enter we hear a ghost playing the theme from “The Pink Panther on a piano. As wc pass on we meet two “mummies” who rise to the occasion. Look at who got caught? They don’t look scared- As we go on wc see that Dracula is lying around. Who are those two things standing beside him. Could they be encouraging us to come closer. I wonder why'1 wc finally leave wc find the Incredible Hulk sale in his cage, or is lie? Next wc come upon two lidirhrain witches who are cooking something up. Here’s one of the couples who joined us. Aren’t they a handsome twosome. As we continue we find a live girl being boiled, wild what’s next, a baby having a head transplant' V, we decide to leave these four musketeers greet us Hunchback, Frankenstein. The Devil and the Blob. I wonder why this girl is sad. tliar guy looks like a real cutup? Well, I guess it's time to go. we leave these insanies pop up, but only to thank us for coming, I think ’ Tins couple seems to want to go bavk. All in all it was a very enjoyable experience. 1' ’ V ip?

Dr. Routley, who is currently Professor of Church Music at Westminister Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey, conducted two chapel services, presided at two informal question and answer sessions and presented a lecture during his two day stay. At the chapel hour on Thursday the !6th. Dr. Routley conducted the service in the manner of the English worship, which was a unique experience to be a part of. That evening lie presented Iris lecture on John Wesley hymns and continued with that subject at the chapel service on Friday morning using the story of the Prodical Son as a reference. All who was a part of any of these services could see that Dr. Routley was a very educated man who realty enjoyed his work. His presentations were unique and showed enthusiasm throughout. Between his humorous delivery and mannerisms and his accent most received a chuckle which helped to keep the audiences attention. “SAINT JOAN” PRESENTED Was Joan of Arc truely a saint? Or was she a constant thorn in the side of her state and the church, both of which finally were forced to consign her to be burned at the stake to regain their own authority? This question has been pondered in a drama by George Bernard Shaw, “Saint Joan,” which was presented to the faculty and students of Central Wesleyan College on Feb. 1 in Folger Auditorium by the Repertory Theater of American Alpha Omega Players. “Saint Joan” is the stirring story of Joan of Arc’s faith and inspiration, and it vividly depicts her rnultifacted career from simple peaseant girl to great heights to her final consummation in Rouen. The Alpha-Omega Players have a national reputation for its project of offering great drama in the church, school, college and club. Each year its three touring companies present more than 600 performances in virtually every state in the nation. These players have been credited for an inspirational and compelling picture of the moving episodes in the life of this young woman who changed the history of France. Ii was an honor to have them perform before us. 74 II I) (It I OTHER EVENTS • • • presents � � � � I mT MONDAY NIGHT LIVE On Thursday evening February 8th a movie sponsored hy Campus Crusades for Christ was shown on our campus. “II I Should Die . . focuses on a young couple who are very much in love and have a very wholesome, but unconcerned attitude about life and death. They enjoy the experience of life, but have not pursued the deeper issues of life and death. The backbone of the 45-minute show comes from the lyrics song by Blood, Sweat, and Tears, called, “And When 1 Die.” But despite the mindset, the couple’s carefree lifestyle is all at once interrupted by a car accident. Both the guy and girl die and suddenly we are confronted by the Devil in which he tells ol the tactics he uses on people, then we are shown the alternative, the claim that Jesus has power over death. A very thought provoking movie. On February 2-4, 1979 at Central Second Wesleyan Church Pastor James Wiggins welcomed two Missionaries to tfien Missionary Convention. The two speakers were, Rev. William Morgan from South Africa, and Miss L. Roberta Swauger, teacher at Tocca Bible College and former missionary to Sierra Leon, West Africa. The theme for this convention was THE WORLD ON OUR HEARTS. On Monday evening January 22, 1979 live from Folger Fine Arts Auditorium SONRISE productions presented MONDAY NIGHT LIVH (well almost). At exactly 10:02 p.m the show was under way with the host for the evening, none other than the director of SONRISE, Ken Dupin. The show was started on a serious note with the group singing one of their songs. Other performances of the night were: the Blues Brothers featuring John Belushi singing, “I'm A Soul Man”; solos f rom Diana Gillard, Diana Martin and Margrete Pardue;a visit witli our professors produced by Pete Wood, a poem written and delivered by Dean Wood; a skit written and starring Keith Naylor; and last Weekend Update with Ken Dupin and Ken Dill who brought us up to date with all the latest news around campus and the world. What more can be said? Nothing. •••an experience you’ll never forget! I thurs. feb qw MISSIONARY CONVENTION FEBRUARY 2 4.1979 THE WORLD ON OUR HEARTS 75 CHRISTMAS BANQUET One highlight of each fall semester is the annual Christmas Dinner. This year was no exception. Students, under the leadership of Prof. Weston Warren, worked hard and made the usual cafeteria setting into a beautifully decorated room, complete with Christmas trees, wreaths and stars overhead. Candlelight meals, made memorable by delicious food and by seeing our friends in formal apperal, were enjoyed by the students on Thursday Dec. 7 and by guest and alumni of the college the following evening. 76 Dr. Claude Rickman. President, along with the executive members of SGA were seated at the head table. The program for the evening included remarks by Dr. Rickman and Terry Cordell and also many selections for the holiday season sung by the College Concert Choir. Everyone would have to agree that it was a refreshing evening and that it set the atmosphere for the journey home for the holiday break to enjoy the Christmas season filled with special spiritual meaning. HOMECOMING QUEEN 79 VICKY SUZANNE MARTIN Vicky Martin and her escort Joey Hamper THE NEW QUEEN The day has come and gone and now Central Wesleyan has a new queen who will represent the school for the next year. The date was February 3 and during halftime of the WARRIORS game with Wofford College, VICKY SUZANNE MARTIN was crowned the ’79 Homecoming Queen. Vicky is the daughter of Mr. Mrs. James Martin of Ashville, NC, and is a senior Christian Education and Psychology major. She has been very active in Christian Service Organization all four years and was treasurer her senior year. She was also involved in Girls’ Athletic Association, Baptist Student Union and Girls Dorm Council. Vickys hobbies include playing the piano, traveling and creating. Her ambition in life is to be “in an area of counselorirtg which will able me to give myself to others so that they may see the love of Christ in my life.” Her plans after graduation is to continue her education by pursuing a career in eounseloring and “to live to the fullest with the Lord’s love and guidance.” Vicky wished to share this to her fellow students: ‘‘I would like to say THANK YOU to all mv friends for this one year that (he Lord has blessed me with. As I became the Homecoming Queen I realized how many friends I really do have.” The day was a busy one for all the Homecoming Court starting with a breakfast at the Holiday Inn in Clemson. Dr. Stephen Calhoon was the guest speaker in which he urged each to feel proud of where we are. Also present was the reiging queen Debra Powell who shared a little of her trip to the Orange Bowl. She urged each girl to pursue each opportunity to it’s fullest. The day continued with practice in the gym, pictures and getting prepared for the big night. The day ended with a reception in the Blue and Gold room for the new queen. 79 SENIOR REPRESENTATIVES Pam Lane and her escort Bradford Fipps Diane Smith and her escort Randy Evans 80 JUNIOR REPRESENTATIVES 81 Rachel Pruesz and her escort Dwayne Smith Sheila Suttles - Director of HC Activities SOPHOMORE REPERSENTATIVES Cathy Hibner and her escort Dan Wood Robin Whitlow and her escort James Duff FRESHMAN REPERSENTATIVES 82 Diana Giltard and her escort Pete Wood Sharon Walker and her escort Steve Brown BASKETBALL REPERSENTATIVES Theresa Duncan Sponsored by Keith Saylor Escort Tim Wiikerson__________ Joanne White Sponsored by Willie Strobhart Darlene Todd - Sponsored be Odis Rhodes Charlene Witcher - Sponsored by Curtis Brown - Escort Ronald Witcher Joyce Rhodes Sponsored by Melvin Williams Escort Kenny Rhodes 83 Grey Reynolds - Emcee 77-78 HOMECOMING QUEEN VISITS ORANGE BOWL What an honor and priviledge it must have heen lor Deborah I Powell, CWC’s 1978 Homecoming Queen, to represent the school and South Carolina at the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida. The story begins about one year ago when Deborah Powell, a senior Elementary Education from West Union, SC, was crowned the 1978 Homecoming Queen by Brenda Karris. Deborah then began a year of reconition and honors as the new queen as selected by her classmates. Around the beginning of Dec. Deborah was informed ol her being selected, from homecoming queens all over the state, to be tire one to represent South Carolina. Deborah, along with 50 other young women selected from each state rode on a 15 1 foot float, chosen for this year’s Agree All-American Homecoming Queens program. Each queen was selected for the national recognition program sponsored by Johnson Wax, for her academic achievements, extracurricula activities, personal interest and good grooming. To recognize the honor that Deborah received, the school set aside a chapel time to recognize her. Mrs. Lillian Robbins, along with Di. Hal Robbins and Dr. Ted Jennings, her Pastor from Welcome Wesleyan Church and her principle from Walhalla Elementary School where she teaches, each came to the platform and expressed their feelings to Deborah. Afterwords Deborah came to the microphone and replied that she felt very honored to have been selected and that she wasn’t going only to represent South Carolina and Central Wesleyan College, but most of all Jesus Christ. On Dec. 29 many people saw' Deborah as she rode on that float and I'm sure that most would have to agree that selecting her was no mistake. 84 the RE’GENERATION 79 Students, faculty and those in the community were all priviliged to attend a performance given on Friday March 9th by Nationally acclaimed RE' GENERATION, held in T singer Gymnasium. The group, which is composed of 15 multi-talented musicians, come from all across our nation. Four members of the group were not new to the campus.

I'acli of us need a I it lie break now and then, some | lay a game ol pool or looshall, others just goof around. In reality, the activities that wc each do around campus every day is what means most to ns as students, and with whom we share that time with. o 7 It is hard to express in words what Student Life really is, for it is the activities that we Jo each day. The following photos reflect some of the times for this year, which includes studies, recreational activities, and just goofing off. 89 92 93 94 95 SPORTS “Everyone Needs Someone. As talented men and women who participates in a sport needs each other and also their coach, to lead and train them to be their best. As players, they need us as fans to cheer them on to victory. And as fans, we need these athletes to provide the fun and excitement that each game brings us as we support our teams. Paul Agu David iMney Jim Fleming Les Gregory Trainer Antonio Jimenez Hank Williams Alex Herrador James Duff Don Karns Coach Keith Connor When this years soccer season started, many wondered what kind of season the WARRIORS would iiave losing five starters to graduation, ft was felt that this might be a rebuilding year, but those on the team tius year proved their ability. Jx Coach Keith Connor had return Jo assist him, George Burahona, who was such an outstanding player his four years of competition with CWC. The WARRIORS strength was both offensively and defensively. On the offensive. Don Karns, out Iasi season with knee problems, returned, and along with Paul Agu and Ale Herrador provided a lot of goals for the WARRIORS. On defensive, Goalie Keith Hibner took control after playing second man for three years, and handled himself quite well. He proved his desire to play with hustle every minute he was on the field, covering the goalie’s box and saving numerous attempts on goal. Next year could prove to be a challenge, for once again graduation will eliminate four competotors; Dun Karns, Keith Hibner, Paul Agu and Randy Evans, There will be 14 returnees next year to vie for those starting positions. CWC’s soccer program is a good one, because even though graduation cuts out several a year, the team bounces back again the next year with the underclassmen players coming into their own. 13 SEPTEMBER Western Carolina (L) 16 Benedict College (W) 20 Wofford College (W) 23 Allen University (W) 25 Winthrop College (W) 29 Byran College (L) 30 Tennessee Temple (W) 4 OCTOBER UNC-Asheville (U 17 Tocca Falls (W) 98 Keith Hibner Dan Loggias Pete Wood Herman Marline: Dan Wood Asit.

Everyone who attended the game on Nov. 4lh against Tennessee Temple would have to agree that it was one of the most exciting games played on that field for some time. With the winner in this NCAA Area Playoff game advancing to the regjonals, it was a must win. CWC fans saw and felt the tension that was present as the W VRRIORS refused to give up, finally winning 2y6. hrs. later in sudden death after playing two overtime periods. This would have to be one of the most happiest wins for the team as they worked for and won it. 103 Noleen Hathaway Theresa Duncan Joyce Rhodes The Lady Warriors seemed lo want to get a point across this year - We are Winners - and I think they got the point across well to many of their competitors. Last year was a learning experience for both Coach Dee Wells and her players, but it could be seen this year that they had things worked out and they showed true competitiness. With four veterns and four new comers, the team looked the strongest it has in it’s short three year history. Seniors Theresa Duncan and Noleen Hathaway gave the team the leadership it needed. Playing in their first season were Joyce Rhodes, Susan Booth, Debbie Sherriff and Pam Williams. These four added a lot to the team as a whole and to the final outcome of a 1 2-9 season. Did they get their point across? I think they did. though they are always winners whether they win or not. Pam Maddox Front row Noleen. Joyce, Cindy, Pam, Theresa.

Why? you ask, well it is because they are CWC’s 1978-79 Cheerleader squad. This squad constantly thought up cheers and practiced them each week to motivate the fans into cheering our WARRIORS onto victory. Elected by the student body, their desire was to get as much of that student body involved more so they came up with a blue and a gold team concept, with students placed on each to compete against each other. It served as a good spirit builder that exploded at the Homecoming game. Rachel Prusez Jill Lappin Darlene Todd Teresa Pearson Vicky Cox Kathy Bruce 108 PEP BAND ADDS SPIRIT Helping at each basketball game again this year to add spirit was the WARRIOR Pep Hand. Under the leadership of Dr. Joel Reed these talented musicians lent their time and ability to each game, along with devoting time each week for practice. The interest in playing in the pep band has increased and strengthen with more members joining each new year. I heir desire to add the necessary spark to ignite our team when the going got tough, made them a vital part of the excitement of each game. 109 Curtis Brown Don Osborne Keith Navior Morriss Black Tony Madden Harvey Morton Odis Rhodes Will Strobhart Elaine Plummer.

They attended classes four and one-half hours per day for two years, spent up to two hours each day in round trips to Belmont, worked their full-time jobs at Cannon, and met their family responsibilities. One of the graduates made straight A's. These graduates are representative of the many people at Cannon who seek more knowledge and better opportunities through education and self-improvement. Cannon people and the company believe in the value of education. There are many productive relationships with public schools, technical institutes, colleges and universities. Cannon recently began a new scholarship program to help employees and or their children attend college, and to encourage more high school graduates to study for careers in textiles. The scholarships, each with a value of $6,000, offer to the qualified applicant an open door to a college degree in textiles, textile design, computer science, chemistry, business administration, accounting, mathematics and engineering. The American textile industry is modern, computerized, electronic, climate-controlled, scientific and artistic. It requires far more education, training and skills than ever before. There are many opportunities for qualified people. Cannon Mills is, of course, an Equal Opportunity Employer.

You can't believe how many times I thought I wouldn't make it to this day and if we would have an annual. T he theme seems to be the best way to say what I want to say. because it was my friends, Dan and especially God, who encouraged and helped me to make it to the end. In some regards the time flew by, especially between all the miles walked, telephone calls made and many late hours spent to meet deadlines. I hope that when this book returns as the finish product of many peoples hard work that the majority will be pleased, because I know that it is impossible to satisfy everyone. Father way I’m glad for the opportunity I’ve had to work as the co-editor this year and for the experience I’ve gained from it. Many thanks have to be said, because many people helped Dan and I pul this yearbook together. First of all I have to thank the other Co-editor, Dan, who w-ith everything else kept up with all the bills, something I would not have been able to handle. Next I want to thank each staff member and the super work that they did on their section. The next thanks goes to our Advisor, Prof. Warren, who guided me and provided me with endless amount of information throughout the year. A man on campus who was a big help was David Jennings, who captured some of the photo’s displayed in this book. If I needed a picture I would come to David and lie would say, “See if you can use any of these. lastly, two gentlemen who had a large part was Mike Brown, our representative from Keys and Jerry Bridges, who helped in taking pictures on several occasions. Both of these guys went out of their way on several occasions to help and 1 appreciate it. To all these people and all those who had a part but are not mentioned, I want to say to each from my heart as warmly as I can — THANKS. I would like to leave with each who reads or looks through this book I he meaning I’ve received in putting the theme together, Everyone Needs Someone”. We as human beings sometimes think that one person is better than another when really wc are all equal, whether we are white or black, foreign or anierican, young or old. Nobody is less of a person because they have needs, for we all have needs. It is our particular needs that separates us, and as an individual we need to reach out to each other in love, friendship and a helping hand. More importantly though, we all need God. In Romans 3:23 it says, “All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God”, and continues two chapters on with the thought that though we all have sinned, God has made a provision for us in Ills Son Jesus Christ and can he summed up in John 3:16 which says, “For God so loved the world that He sent Ills only begotten Son that whosoever (thal includes everyone) believeth on Him shall not perish hut have eternal life.” We all need God as our Saviour and Friend. God the best friend a person can have and if lie is. lie has promised that He “shall supply all our needs (Phil. 4:19) My prayer is that each will be challenged by the thoughts presented in ibis book and remember that just as we have needs, so does all who we meet each day and ihat we should be sensitive to these people, be a blessing if we can and most of all remember that God can meet any need. There has been many prayers offered up these past few months and I know without a dpibt tj.it God has blessed and helped. I hope each will remember the memories of this year, the strides made forward and that each will look into the new year with a new hope and determination. 172 With God’s Blessings To Each, Gary Hutchinson In August I anticipated a few months of enjoyable work i times it was lun, but I am glad the task is over. It seems like the annual struggles from yeai to year, but somehow it is complete thanks to a select group that cared enough to say. 'TII do it” Gary has mentioned those that went the extra mile and deserve the credit except for one himself. Gary and I were titled Co-editors, but let me clarify that. Gary was the 78 79CFNTRAI IAN editor I hough things looked dim at times, Gary's desire to give the college a hook to he proud of never stumbled I am ama cd of Ins ability to be so creative, precise, and thoughtful. He is eager to satisfy and has a special nack for putting things together in a way that we might call “classy . He was just plain devoted. Gary, I thank you From Adam, today, and forever, wc are not Independent people. We all need someone and I’m glad God made it that was Let’s not separate ourselves from those people that make life complete For me. I need Christ first, next. I need you. and the more of you the better. See You, funky Dan Dees It has been a pleasure to work with Gary and Dan in putting together this edition of the (I AIR LJAV I would like to express appreciation to each member «if the staff who worked diligently to do his or her share of the work involved in getting the annual to press. I hope that this annual will help you to hold dear the memories of the year 1978-79 at Central Wesleyan College. Remember that I veryonc Veds Someone , and Central Wesleyan College needs you.
