Coker College - Milestone Yearbook (Hartsville, SC)

It all began second semester of last year. A pebble of of an idea was Cast in an unpretentious pool of ordinary minds. The ripples floating out into the pool made this little pebble so important that it became a MILESTONE. The initial ripple gently lapped at the minds of Annual Editor Lib Plowden as soon as she was elected. Throughout the summer she gathered ideas and made notes. In the fall, the pool was agitated by new pebbles and the ripples spread out to include other members of the staff. Some stones quickly sank to the bottom; other were kept afloat by Lib and Assistant Editor Sara Rodgers, until they, too, became a part of this growing MILESTONE. One of these ripples carried some revolutionary ideas which were to become the crest of the wave. Organizational Editor Sally Banks and Activities Editor Sylvia Graham were called in to discuss these changes in style, and the addition of more copy to the annual. Soon other pebbles were caught up in this flow of ideas. Art Editor Nancy Stevens worked on layouts with Mr. Brum- baugh, Advisor; Liz Degenhardt took charge of photography; Carolyn Allsbrook and Peggy Cantey added their secretarial talents. The ripples gained momentum when Business Manager Charlotte Reaves and her staff took over annual finances. How many trips they made to Hartsville and the surrounding area for those important ads! How many headaches were theirs be- cause of bills that had to be paid! Sometimes the pebbles got mighty heavy and the ripples on the pond could barely be distinguished. There were troubled moments in the little office under North Dorm, as picture schedules met seemingly impossible conflicts, lay outs had to be re-planned, picture angles decided on, deadlines met. But somehow a little breeze always came along at the right moment, and the pebbles drifted along toward that all-important Mile- stone, Elizabeth Plowden, Editor Charlotte Reaves, Business Manager But just a few pebbles and a few little ripples can’t get very far without help. Thus the students themselves became the crest of this wave of ideas and gave it the momentum it needed. Clubs cooperated, when information was needed or pic- tures had to be taken. Faculty members made allowances for occasional class cuts in order to work on the annual. “Ghost writers’ helped with write-ups of their classes, and the pebbles were on their way. Finally the waves subsided, the last ripple lapped the shore, and all was calm. The humble little pebble had become a proud Milestone. Frances Gurley, Reaves, Harper, Powers, Connor, McCracken.
