Milestone COKER COLLEGE Hartsville, South Carolina IMA, me .SZnlf0r5, Jakarta file W5 9 Winona fo one 0 om, lr. jadrner His is not just a polite smile, but an honest, if bash- ful, grin for all who can sense the special excitement that life itself shares with this faculty member. He has so successfully bridged the distance between teacher and student that he has gained the beloved nickname, Daddy Fahrnerf' This relationship between student and teacher found in the class and out is based on a mutual feeling of respect and friendship. It is for this respect and treatment as adults that we are so indebted and for which words are so inadequate. As a teacher of freshman Civilization, and United States and world history and government, he has often boasted, I never get off the subject! With history de- fined by him as the story of man including every phase of his society, and everything that has ever happened before this very moment-is it any wonder that history is not dull, that a class under Dr. Fahrner is an edu- cation in itself? Although dedicated to teaching Cand his Seniors J he nevertheless has a big place in his heart and life for the protection of the nation about which he teaches. He bears two titles with equal distinction-Doctor of History and Captain in the Naval Reserve, a living example of a philosophy being backed up with posi- tive actions. Along with his obligations to the Naval Reserve, his devotion to his wife Evie and his sons Bill and Arthur, and his teaching, Dr. Fahrner has found time to serve as Freshman advisor, counselor to the men stu- dents, sponsor of day students, Chairman of Dad's Day, and Sponsor of the class of '59. We think his willing- ness to listen to student problems and offer advice is the essence of friendship and is an example of Coker's tradition of interest in each student. No matter how many throng to the gym, nor how loud the cheers are, no game seems complete unless Dr. Fahrnet is there. During hockey season he wears a path down the sidelines, and has been so excited at crew races that, aided by a gentle push, he has ended up in the lake fully clothed, but still grinning. It is with utmost sincerity that we dedicate this ilflilestone to our own Dr. Fahrner. No matter where the future finds us, nor what fate plans, we, the class of 1959, will always remember him with love and esteem. 'I a xv, Dr. Alvin A. Fahrner 0148 DUO! We, the staff, offer you the 1959 Milestone in the hope that it will always be a reminder of this year at Coker . . . a reminder of your classmates, the girls you have lived with and gotten to know so well . . . a reminder of your courses, the subjects which have taught you more than you yet realize . . . a reminder of the faculty, those teachers who are real people with a great personal interest in you as students and as friends . . . a reminder of Our College, a campus which is not only beautiful but is a second home to all of us. Through pictures, taken especially to stir some memory in your heart, and articles, written in such a way as to become readable, we have tried to bring Coker back as you would like to remember it in the years to come.

When one approaches Coker College through the main gate, the Administration Building is the first building seen on campus. Because of the important activities carried on within it, the location of this build- ing has become significant. The president's ofiice is the heart of any college. Certainly it is at Coker. Directing, supervising, con- stantly making decisions . . . these are but a few of the many duties of Coker's president, Dr. J. A. Barry, Jr. The business ofhce which handles Coker's financial affairs is also situated in this building. The students' bank constitutes an important part of this ofiice. Another important office found in the Administra- tion Building is that of the academic dean. One of the vital functions of this office is the scheduling and re- arranging of courses. The combined public relations and alumnae ofiices complete the administrative activities carried on in this building. Foreign languages are a necessary part of many majors. French and Spanish are taught in the two classrooms of this building. In the library, supplements to the curriculum help students with their regular work. Its supply of books, periodicals and records is a well chosen collection. The auditorium is the most well known part of the administration building. Its semi-circular shape seats many visitors as well as the student body. B ILDI Whether one is entering or leaving the college, the Gates will ,al- ways remain a symbol of all that Coker holds dear. The Reading Room of the library contains most current periodicals and newspapers as well as an excellent collection of reference books. Studying in the library sometimes doesn't turn out quite the way it's planned. A familiar landmark on our campus is the Science Building, which was completed in 195l.'It was dedicated in memory of William Chambers Coker, an outstanding and eminent figure in the field of botany. The beautiful shrubbery surrounding this building highlights its spacious, well-kept lawns. Bordering the paved walks are a variety of lovely flowers consisting chiefly of camellias and azaleas. The interior of this building is as interesting and fascinating as the exterior. Here are found Civ. lecture rooms, a convenient and charmingly furnished day students' lounge, a biology mu- seum with its display of plants and animals, biology and chem- istry libraries, general and advanced biology and chemistry labs, a greenhouse filled with a choice variety of plants, various fac- ulty oiiices, and a physics supply room. At the top of this build- ing is the observatory for those interested in astronomy. Perhaps the most popular and modern feature of the building is the ele- vator, a welcome relief for many weary feet. This majestic and stately building beautifies our campus and is a standing and lasting symbol to all seeking higher intel- E lectual attainment.

Greenhouse from Dr. Ezda Deviney. in 6 9 The Margaret Coker Lawton Music Building is one of the loveliest and most modern buildings on our campus. It is detailed in beauty of lawns and shrub- bery, with the interior designed for comfort and use- fulness. Since the completion of the Music Building in 1952, it has been the scene of many campus activities. The most familiar room to Coker students is a central re- cital hall in which are held the music majors' recitals, concerts by visiting artists, glee club rehearsals, and Civilization music lectures. Flanking this hall are the studios and practice rooms, busily engaged during the day by students, professors, and ntunerous young chil- dren of H artsville who take regular lessons during the week. Classes in music theory, history and literature are conducted in the theory room, which is also used for octet practice. Not only is the Music Building home to all Coker music students, but it is also the frequent gathering place for many cultural functions of the community. THE MUSIC The Recital Hall is used for both student and visiting artists' re citals and for the Civ. music lectures. - A ev' -, - was .aaa -J-si M.

SOUTH--where the other wise old sophomores find their lodgings. 13 The College Club is the ideal spot for sunbathing, swimming or canoeing. Noted for its intellectual opportunities and its efliciency as a college, Coker is also known for the beauty of its campus. The rose garden is one outstanding beauty spot. Awe-inspiring as the garden is Spivey chapel. The simple, humble atmosphere invites students who sometimes need to get away from school activities. The amphitheater is in the center of the campus, and is also the center of many college activities. Annually the May Day crowning is held here, after which the queen is feted with a colorful modern dance program. At the end of the year, class day also is held here. The last days of every school year bring with them a love of sunbathing. This is made even more enjoyable by the college club. The attractive green clubhouse overlooks Prestwood Lake and is furnished with a kitchen and even bunks so that girls can have spend-the-night parties as well as picnics. Every winter morning, coffee breaks at the canteen are eagerly anticipated by both students and faculty. Rushing through to get mail from the post oiiice, one is always tempted to sit, eat and talk. 14 SO DE R TO The Rose Garden is one of the loveliest and most relaxing places of the Coker campus. .- M-33 1 f- li' ft y lgwir I For coffee breaks, between meal snacks, getting the mail or dancing, just step right into the Canteen.

'lf 11 'lui' BILLIE JEWELL KISSANE, President A senior is many things to many people. To other students, a senior is a state for which to work. With a load of nine hours, and seven Civ. exams behind her, she represents the Nirvana of college life which she lives as it should be lived-self- approval on sign-out cards and bridge eighteen hours a day Csleep is necessary! D. Though sometimes an un- derclassman will throw up her hands in exasperation at the many uncanny plans made in senior dorm, she, too, has a desire-however faint-to hold one day that title-SENIOR! The faculty sees a senior more realistically, for it has endured many seniors. The faculty sees a senior in view of achievement. It has seen these students grow, worry, play, mature, and sometimes even study. This achievement makes the faculty realize that it has suc- ceeded in developing and training others. A senior sees herself as a composite of moods, ex- periences, and people. According to theory, she knows she should be surrounded by an air of dignity, but she knows that her devilish grin is only exceeded by the joke lurking in het mind. And regardless of her claim, a senior like: to be considered with awe and wonder, for although only a freshman with four years' experi- ence, she has survived biology and all the rules in the handbook. She possesses a cap and gown, a much-used demitasse, and those wonderful senior privileges such as orchestra pit seats for chapel. -E PAYE GURLEY, Secretary-Treasurer A senior it many things. Who loves the seniors most? Who would venture to say? But be it student body, faculty, or senior herself, a senior is a neces- sity-perhaps even a necessary evil of college life. DR. A. A.

In- stead of picks and shovels We were equipped with teddy bears and heating pads, and instead of gold in them that hills we found potato chips and strawberry jam! Our slogan was not California or Bust but merely Bust Cout-dated traditions of coursej. Not only did we develop our cerebral hemispheres in small groups sometimes called classes, but We developed originality. For after all, what other class had a Siamese twin hobo queen better known as Fran Moore and Pam Penning- ton? Their king was Stinky Segars! Other outstanding Freshmen included Dr. Barry and a Smith fellow, not Sterling Smith of the Clemson football fame, but just Sterling Smith. Well, back to the subject of originality. Who else but we would have attempted to sell stamps with pictures on them Cwe sold eightj or to make Christmas tags? We blame these brainstorms on our chairmen: Betty Crawford, Patsy Maxwell and Cynthia Sullivan. It really paid off to be in the Beauty-Cutie Court our Freshman year, for all six of our representatives, are now married-heading the list was our HIS! cutie queen Sara jean Long, who is equally famous for the quotation . . but I thought we got three cuts per quarter! We were the class that opened our Christmas presents be- fore the Christmas party-under the friendly guidance of our own gestapo Calias student councilb-for that was the year of the Big Search. Mary Alma Gee's room looked better after the search than before! Another accomplishment of Stu- dent Council was the death of Dunbar as a result of our being allowed to smoke in our rooms. Cigars thus became the undoing of Patricia Crawford. April came . . . the upstart Freshmen pulled another first, completely fooling the other three classes with an edition of the school newspaper featuring headlines abolishing exams. This infamous literary feat was entitled The Microscope. The same month we became the first class not to parade in white dresses to the graveyard on Founders Day. On May Day we were represented by two wonderful smiles. One belonged to Betty Crawforda the other to Donna Davis. Later in the month we produced the first of our musi- cals for our big sisters at the College Club. Also we made and sold many baskets. Enough said. The fact that we had won the Alma Mater contest was cancelled by the fact that we lost every single hockey game that fall. This explains why we only tied for the Presidents cup. Our jubilation was complete with the acquisition of our notorious class sponsor, Dr. A. A. Fahrner. Now the verdant Freshmen Cor as Sara J. Long thought, virgin freshmen J became the wise old Sophomoresf' de- scribed as cocky and better known as the Rebels of South! And we were truly the Rebels of South, for we rebelled just as much against tradition as Momma Woody would allow. We were determined to have fun-to make up for no one loving us. Our first brainstorm was to sell Coker mugs and jackets, one of our more successfulC?j business ventures. We soon began work on our pep song, and under the direction of Laurens McMaster and Ann Davis, we sang our way into the pep song championship. Has there ever been a class to teach everyone the pep song--even before the contest? The cutie contest came and went, and we supplied Cutie Queen number two in the form of Fran Moore. Our class could produce cutie queens, but were rather unfortunate in securing dates for the dances. Those posts do get lonely, don't they, Faye Gurley? While racking up victories on the hockey field, the gam- bling casino was going full speed ahead in the rec room. This seemed to be a twenty-four-hour-a-day business-except, of course, during exams when operation was limited to only twenty hours daily! After finishing our third civ. exam, we could think of only one thing-the three short weeks before our big production. Our tap class Canother firstj had rehearsed a few times pre- viously, and soon everyone was saying . . And Away We Go! ! -and no one had even heard of jackie Gleason! Find- ing staging facilities on campus rather limited, we looked for new horizons and found Thornwell, the big stage in front of the curtain. Taking the show off campus and running it for two nights were both Coker firsts. Finally the scenery that couldn't be done was done, Sylvia Pennell learned to throw her rose, Dr. Fahrner became addicted to grapes, and our second big production was opened to the public. As the final curtain went down to a standing ovation, we swelled with pride. Afterwards, the offers from TV stations looked mighty tempting, but we succumbed to only one offer -from some school called Clemson or something like that! Sylvia Pennell was thrilled to get to go, saying I can't say no, and Billie Kissane, Sylvia was not on A.P. Cor did you check?D Gessner Snowden was a top in Martha's girls, and it seems that she renewed some old acquaintances on that trip. Many will always note and long remember these experiences, most of all poor Billie Kissane, who made ar- rangements instead of studying Renaissance art. We certainly could not be accused of allowing education to interfere with our good times! But one day we heard a sad story about a little dormitory that was as good as good could be, until one night . . But crawling out on the roof was fun, especially for Mary Holmes and Elizabeth Whittle, even if the aftermath wasn't. Had we not been completely successful in all our athletic attempts, we might not have won the President's Cup that year- but we did! We had a very strange feeling. The casino was doing quite a business, everyone was playing bridge-and then we real- ized why. Exams were at us again! Of course, some people are quite industrious and study until 4 AM-only to sleep through the exam the next day! Now we were on the verge of being JUNIORS-those dignified upperclassmen. We made our daisy chain and placed it around the pool. In a few minutes we became jolly juniors. But if juniors are any jollier than sophomores .... In September the most loved class in Coker's history re- turned to Hartsville with heads filled with wonderful ideas for changes in our beloved institution. We decided that it might even be necessary to break some of our own traditions just to keep in character. Barbara Roney was our president, Mary Alma Gee paid the bills and jumbled the books. On returning to school, those of us in South found our- selves without a house mother, since Mrs. Woodward had taken over the inhrmary. Someone suggested that maybe we could get a house daddy, but for some reason the sugges- tion never got anywhere. In a few days our new mother arrived and it was not long before Mrs. Cain become very dear to each of us. One of the first traditions that we managed to break was our own of winning the song contest. In order to overcome the sorrow of losing, we busied ourselves with our first semester money-makingf?J project. For some reason the market for octupi and felt Christmas stockings was not very strong, but we had fun anyway. Was it two thousand, two hundred, or twenty dollars that we made on this adventure? Will we ever forget the influenza epidemic? Everyone on campus seemed to be excited over the situation except Mrs. Woodward. And who was it that said Coker was too back- ward to get the Asiatic flu? It couldn't have been Lynnette Brinson who enjoyed a week's vacation as a result of the flu. At the Christmas dance we were very proud of our Barbara Dibble, who became the third in our line of Cutie queens. Soon after Christmas we began rehearsals for our produc- tion, Redskins to Rockets. After two successful presenta- tions at Thornwell, we journeyed to Florence to give a com- mand performance for thirty-two select guests. The spring brought Ray Anthony to the Coker campus. What a dance! Mary Alma, did you and Sylvia plan to keep all of those wild promises you made to two of the band members? Many traditions were broken when we treated the senior class to a gala banquet and dance at the Sonoco Club. First of all, we were the first class to give the Junior-Senior at the beautiful Sonoco Clubg and second, ir was the first time the president of the college had to pay for the band. We had a very successful year in sports-winning the hockey, volleyball, and deck tennis tournaments and also the crew races. On May Day we beamed with pride as we watched our attendants, Barbara Roney, Barbara Dibble, Bonnie Cone and Shirley Land, take their places in the May Court. It was not until Class Day when we received our rings and robes that we realized that we were about to leave our junior year behind and become sophisticatedC?D seniors. And were we sophisticated seniors? Well, anyway we were seniors. You might say we were vogue on the outside and vague on the inside. It seems that the fad of hoola-hooping had overtaken the entire class, nobody could outdo champs Shirley Land and Molly Creadick. Billie Kissane was elected our president for the second time and Faye Gurley was secretary-treasurer. We really kept senior hall alive, which was no easy job, as our little class of twenty-two who lived on the two fioors of Central didn't quite fill it up. We were small in number, but our spirits were higher than ever-dampened only slightly when we were met by that big fat senior syllabus. We immediately started thinking about a show for the early spring. Shirley, what inspired that number you sug- gested . . . Somebody Touched Me in the Dark Last Night ? The big thought in everybody's mind was practice teaching and writing seminars. A few of us started on our teaching, but we just kept thinking about seminars. We scored two firsts in the hockey tournament, tying with our sister class for the championship. We were the first hockey team to elect a homecoming queen and the first to hold the record of being unscored against in three years. For the song contest we had a hard time choosing between a pep song with a Latin beat or one with a march rhythm. We finally decided on the latter. It didn't win, but we won the alma mater prize for the second time. One day in December it snowed, and snowed, and snowed, and stayed for a week. We were happy as a roach about it . . . especially the table girls, who gleefully jumped out of bed at 6:00 every morning that week to Hx breakfast for the entire school while the cooks were snowbound at home. When time came to select our senior superlatives we couldn't break the tie between Faye and Sylvia for class wit, so we named each one a half-wit and everybody was happy. Cynthia continued to gain fame by winning golf tourna- ments. We predicted that she'd be our first class member to become a celebrity. One night we had a leg contest-not an ordinary one, but one to select the most bowed pair of legs. There was a large number of contestants and the decision was such a diffi- cult one that a tie was finally declared between a certain threesome. After Christmas we really sparkled-third fingers, left hands, that is. Our class set a record for bringing back dia- monds. Faye set a little record of her own by bringing back the most unusual fraternity pin we'd ever seen-from a boy we'd never heard of. After we were all convinced that the situation was on the level, she admitted it was just a joke. You know the story of the boy who cried Wolf, Faye. We were still thinking about a class production, and finally came up with a very original musical fashion show. We were proud and thrilled over our bonnie'l May Queen, Bonnie Cone. Dottie Harvey was elected maid of honor and Betty Crawford, crowner. Our attendants were Pat Crawford, Faye Gurley, Martha jackson, Billie Kissane, Shirley Land and Nancy Phillips. And all of a sudden it's over.,In caps and gowns we smile sophisticated and confident smiles, but inside we wish so much that we could have just a little while longer together. We want to be on our own, you understand, but just for one more day . . . It's over-but we have enough memories and friendships to last a lifetime, though the years may scatter us aprt.

She is gaity, charm, wit, poise, sincerity. She is the link between yesterdays dreams and tomorrow's fulfillments. A junior, the essence of laughter and good times, returns in September as an upperclassman. She shows her sparkling and winsome personality as she wel- comes her little sisters, greets old friends, and makes New Central dorm the jolliest morgue ever. In the midst of this busy life, she accepts new responsibilities and begins specialization in her major field. Earnestly she-a Junior of '58-'59-begins practice for the hockey tournament and song contest hoping to excel her past performances. Her ability and talent are rewarded as her class jubilantly accepts the pep song trophy for the second time. A junior is confidence as she tackles various class projects. Diligently she and her classmates first mem- orize, then practice, and at last perform Blithe Spirit, the junior play. This taste of success leads to more achievements, as her class enters its most beautiful in the Beauty-Cutie Contest and wins both recognition and honor. A jolly junior is a many-sided personality. In addi- tion to her other abilities, she is a perfect hostess to the seniors at the junior-Senior Banquet and Dance. This is an exciting event for all, but most especially for a junior-it is the result of her plans, her work, her hopes. NELL GARDNER, Secretary-treasurer On Class Day, as cap and gown are donned for the first time and Coker ring is worn at last, a junior is more jolly than ever as she Hnds herself safe now in the Senior Class.

Not only for the song contest, but during the entire yearg we were the SOPHOMORES of Coker. As sophs we accepted all the responsibilities and privileges of our newly-acquired status. We used our midweeks and class cuts without fear, but with some discretion. Our biggest undertaking was the sophomore show. Not even exams interrupted the important work for the skit. The cry was All Aboard as the sophomore Loco-motive came roaring in, right on schedule. The class of '61 was on the stage at last! Membership in departmental clubs became impor- tant as we were admitted to Sigma Tau Delta, Interna- tional Relations Club, and the Biology Club. Class members were appointed to Athletic and Christian Councils. Student government heard our voices as our representatives upheld the mighty sophomore spiritg we had a finger in every pie! Upperclassmen, the administration, and the faculty became pleasant acquaintances Cmost of the time, that isb rather than the awesome figures of the preceding year. Off to a good start we continued throughout the year with the Beauty Queen and representatives in the beauty and cutie courts from our class. Why, we even won more prizes in the Boyd-Powe drug store drawing than any other class!

Q' QQ' I- 1 ,pw 3, The first day of college is always Sl milestone in the life of a freshman. THE FRESHME - CLASS OF 1962 Studying Civ. becomes a matter of daily importance W eVefY0n0- Checking the post oflice twice a day is one of the first routines established at college. 60 JEAN FRANKLIN, President In September, l958, a new Freshman class enrolled at Coker. After being entertained by old Cockernuts for four days, these Freshmen settled down to learn the meanings of countless Coker terms-Civ., demerits, mass meetings, required functions. Getting acquainted with Coker involved many new experiences for these new students. They had fun dis- guising themselves at the hobo party, going swimming in their pajamas at initiation, practicing for the song contest, and Calas! D losing all their hockey games. They proved themselves to be imaginative individuals when they decorated Richardson Porch with giant contemporary Christmas cards. With the help of Mrs. C. A. Sisson, their class spon- sor, they made Christmas package tags for their first class project. Their other projects, letters which an- nounced coming holiday visits to their parents and date applications, were successful and surprising. Get- ting demerits, having all-night parties, being on open restriction-these, too, figured into their activities. As their lirst college year drew to a close, the most important phase of their education had become a part of each of them. Character, Culture, and Christian Service had become more than words on a Coker em- blem, these guiding principles of life at Coker had become real goals for the members of the new class. f 1 'sf BONNIE MURRAY, Secretary- Treasurer By May, 1959, these Freshmen had put away the scared rat feeling, they had become an integral part of Coker College.

CIVILIZATION Pyramids, chivalry, French revolution-the past. Synthetics, atomic energy, Sputniks-the present. Sun energy for heat, man on the moon-the future. Past, present and future-all a part of the continu- ously growing Civilization course at Coker. Civ. is more than factual pages in a syllabus, it is an alive, ever-changing review of man in his world. Each year new facts are assimilated with the old and the syllabus keeps a present-day attitude. Dr. Elizabeth Davidson, head of the Civilization de- partment, is responsible for the development of and primary research on Civ. at Coker. Assisted by Mrs. Elizabeth Reynolds, Dr. A. A. Fahrner, and Mr. Ben- jamin Bray, the gates of knowledge are flung wide open--entrance down the path left to the student. Civ. is a complete survey of the people who have made up the world. Their influence on the present is seen as the philosophy and religion, natural science and mathematics, art, literature, and music of the past stand up for comparison and study. Lectures are delivered by professors who are special- ists in the various Helds covered. Class discussions an- alyze and coordinate ideas and explain points of con- fusion. The value of Civ. is apparent when political, social and philosophical events begin repeating themselves- the past expressed by a new people and a new age. CIVILIZATION-a look to the past and a predic- tion of the future. 72 ART Oh, I wish I could take art, but . . . I can't even draw a straight line. W7 e art majors, to our horror, usually get this comment when another learns that we take art. Really, the straight line is something that most art students don't claim to be able to do since we can use rulers too. We do, however, learn to be more adept in designing and painting after such courses as Basic Design, Wfater Color and Oil Painting. By the time she is a senior, an art student can tell you many things ranging from art history to how to print her own Christmas cards. However, these are just a few of the many things that an art major learns. Maybe you would like to make many posters in a hurry. Well, Graphic Arts would be just the class for you. Most art students take this course in their sopho- more year. Did you ever design your own ash trays? We do in the ceramics class along with making cups, costume jewelry and even planters. So you see art is even fun for art majors with such things to look for- ward to. We also take field trips out into the sun to paint from nature. Mr. R. Nickey Brumbaugh, professor of art, is always willing to give his students a helping hand but is also willing to let them experiment on their own until they get stuck and call for his aid. Climaxing the four year study of art is the one in a lifetime senior art exhibit . . . there will never be another like it. Mr. R. N. Brumbaugh gives a few pointers to his class in Basic Representation. BUSINESS EDUCATION One of the largest and fastest growing departments at Coker is the Business Department. A larger number of two year secretarial certificates and B.S. degrees in Business Education are presented at graduation each year. There are also many students who take business courses as electives because they are useful in all pro- fessions. To get students and Mr. Business Education prop- erly introduced, Coker offers a course called Introduc- tion to Business. This course gives students a picture of the applications and promising careers of a business education. As the structures and operational features of the different types of businesses are learned, the Way is paved to further study of specific fields of business. If one passed by a Consumer Economics class taught by Mr. james E. Colbert, Associate Professor of busi- ness education, he may hear Now class, should Ger- trude pay 3535 for a pair of I. Miller shoes rather than . . .? Or maybe in a Methods of Teaching Busi- ness Subjects class one may hear You must be pre- pared for anything-I know! In this illustrative and interesting way Mr. Colbert also teaches Accounting, Olhce Management, Business Law, and many other valuable courses. Mrs. Anita Colbert, assistant professor of business education, has grown accustomed to the puzzled looks and frowns that creep across the faces of her students on the Hrst day of Shorthand class. With the skillful and sincere instruction of Mrs. Colbert, these frowns are soon replaced with smiles of accomplishment and glee, for soon she is able to announce, That letter was dictated at 80 words per minute. Mrs. Colbert also teaches Business English. Upon completing this course In the Office Machines course students are taught to operate vari- ous business machines. Students learn Accounting under the able direction of Mr. James Colbert. one knows exactly how to write that special letter of application for a job in the wide, wide world. The rapid clicking of keys and ringing of bells on typewriters are all in a day's work to Mrs. Jeanne Byetly Wilhelm, instructor in business education. In her course a student learns the techniques and skills of typing and many helpful and time-saving hints. Be- sides her typing classes, Mrs. Wilhelm teaches an Of- Hce Machines course. Here one learns to operate many machines he never knew existedg but upon completion of the course, he realizes the value and importance of each machine. Coker is proud of its Business Department and ap- preciates the work of its instructors. As this department continues to grow, it will continue to make skilled business majors out of hard working, eager students. Mrs. Jeanne B. Wilhelm gives her beginning typing class instructions. 73 Both the Old and New Testament take on new meaning under the teaching of Dr. Ben Ingram. CHRISTIAN EDUCATION Most every Coker student can quote the familiar ad- vice Dr. Ben Ingram invariably gives to each of his classes: Set yourself up an ideal and then look for the young man who fits that ideal. As a freshman at Coker, one learns that she is re- quired to take both Old and New Testaments, and most students choose to take it their Freshman year. Dr. Ben and Miss Seymour, who is new this year at Coker, makes the lives of Christ and the apostles live for us again with their clever teaching methods. If a student wishes, she may go even deeper into Christian Education with the Life ami Iourneyr of Paul, Chrirtifzn Doctrines, or many other courses that are offered. Maybe it is good if a Freshman finds it hard to sleep at night. Memorizing the Kings made immortal by Dr. Ben will take both night and day, at least for the first three months of school. Look out for those block questions. Dr. Ben is famous for those too . . . that is, in addition to the 100 true-false questions. Would it not be absurd for a student to graduate from Coker without being able to wake up in the middle of the night and recite the Kings or be able to say true or false when the ques- tion is asked, Caanan is 10 miles due-east of the Dead Sea? Seriously, every student loves and admires Dr. Ben for the person he is, and each of them gets a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction from the study of Chris- tian Education. 74 ENGLISH AND LITERATURE Many is the night one can walk down Freshman Hall, and see a freshman furiously composing a theme for next day's English class or maybemaking one up for the week before, This could be attributed to spring fever and procrastination, but during the year, under the constructive criticism of Dr. and Mrs. Sisson, they learn to write clear, correct and effective English. The second year the Sophomores turn Pro and ad- vance to Dr. Haynes' immortal Literature classes. There we learn of the greats of England as well as of our own country. A more creative soul might venture into Mr. Bray's creative writing class. Still others might go farther into the literary field by studying drama, novel, or poetry and prose of the Romantic and Victorian Ages. For those aspiring to teach English in high schools the English Department allows for method courses. Children's Literature, which proves to be quite an en- joyable course, is offered for the Elementary Educa- tion Majors. 7 Mary Anne Wickliffe, Ginny Ricker and Ann Dalrymple start toward their English composition classes taught by Dr. and Mrs. Charles A. Sisson. HISTORY AND SOCIAL SCIENCE History and social science students leave Coker well- educated and prepared to enter their post-college ca- reers, whether in graduate school or in the teaching profession. The background offered in Civilization plus the instruction and guidance of the professors in this department make this field an interesting and chal- lenging one. Social science students gain insight into the culture of man-his skills, beliefs, attitudes and customs. This knowledge enables them to affirm their places in so- ciety and to guide the environment they are personally associated with. The comprehension of the world be- comes prevalent in the field of social science as the economic bases, social customs, standards and influ- ences of the background of all peoples are analyzed and discussed. Dr. A. A. Fahrner, professor of history, leads the way for Coker history majors. His specialized and sometimes personal knowledge of world events makes him a capable and interesting professor. A recognition of present activities correlated with this knowledge of the past brings the world into focus and brings under- standing and patience. History and social science do not necessarily make the individuals of today the leaders of tomorrow. They do, however, bring about an educated public to hold up the principles of government in every field. Dr. A. A. Farhner gives his students a test in the American History class. Mr. Frank Saunders helps student Vance Williams with a difficult math problem. MATHEMATICS One of the things omitted during the week of fresh- men orientation, and yet one of the early discoveries made by the new student, is that two semesters of math can replace one of the lab sciences required for graduation. With this thought foremost in mind, the student enters the Department of Mathematics. To the student who has an inexhaustable curiosity to find X, college algebra is a genuine delight. How- ever, with the introduction of 9 in trigonometry, math assumes a new look, and it becomes Greek in more ways than one. And now those two semesters are completed. But since there are always those who are gluttons for pun- ishment, plane and solid analytical geometry become a challenge. But the mysteries are soon solved under the soft-spoken Mr. Saunders. The largest hurdle one must attempt in the pursuit of this, the purest of all science, is that of the Cal- culus. First semester finds students wrestling with changes. NW hen the problem has water going in at a certain rate and emptying at the same time at a second date, the exasperated scholar may attempt to use her own bathtub as a working example, only to find that this complicates the problem even further and that math is really less difficult when left on paper. Second semester brings new hope, for this student is now undoing all that she spent first semester doing. But with many hours of work and deep concentration, she finds that calculus was really funn-even when she spent hours trying to find the volume of a dough- nut. Theory of equations takes the form of a game and the student again searches for X, but now with a better understanding and a greater knowledge of this evasive character. Geometry further interests those with an understanding of congruence and symmetry. 75 QR! Embryology is only one of the fascinating courses encountered by a biology major. SCIENCE 'Tve found the strangest looking animal under my microscope. Do you suppose I've discovered some new form of life? And so the General Biology student be- gins her study of nature. Mr. John D. Reynolds, assist- ant professor of biology, patiently helps the bewil- dered student adjust the slide and the objective on the microscope revealing that the discovery of new life is just a piece of dust. This general course includes a two semester study of plant and animal life after which a student is apt to agree that nothing is impossible. Advanced biology courses offer many opportunities to those who wish to specialize. The anatomy and Zoology students under the instruction of Dr. Ezda Deviney, professor of biol- ogy, have accomplished the feat of dissecting doglish and cats while drinking cokes. Field trips and outdoor classes are factors contributing to the increasing popu- larity of botany, which is also taught by Dr. Deviney. General Chemistry proves to be an interesting course to the student who desires to learn about the physical make-up of various elements. Stained hands, burned fingers and acid burned aprons are a few of the usual characteristics of the General Chemistry student. Advanced chemistry courses are not without their mishaps and strange experiences. In Organic Chem- istry, the study of carbon compounds, a minor explo- sion is nor infrequent especially if one forgets to add boiling stones to a solution before heating it. Dr. Ernest McCullough, professor of the physical sci- ences, is always understanding as he listens to the Qualitative Analysis student explain that she had a precipitate of sulfate and not sulfite. In Quantitative Analysis it seems that the analytical balance receives the blame from those students who find errors in their chemical calculations. Mechanics and electricity are the main topics dis- cussed in General Physics. Dr. McCullough gains an idea of the student's mathematical background in the various problems encountered in the course. Students learn many new and different things in the General Biol- Jane Strader and Bill Humphrey prepare for a titration in the ogy labs, Quantitative Analysis lab. 76 MODERN LANGUAGES The college catalogue lists a modern language as a requirement, and by virtue of this fact, the verdant freshman lunges into either French or Spanish. She soon is aware that these are two of the most complete and thorough courses taught and that they require in- tense concentration and work. To the student who is not a veteran of any foreign language, this new study becomes a labyrinth of nouns, direct objects and subjunctive moods, terms not under- stood clearly even in English. However, each day and each lesson brings the student closer to the second year and the conclusion of the requirements. Now she feels she has a firmer foundation and attacks noun clauses and intricate idioms with relative ease. If these first two years of either French or Spanish may be considered as the main course then literature is, beyond a doubt, the dessert. Classes have become more informal and even though the work is more ad- vanced, the student feels that she is acquiring skill in composition and reading as well as a deeper knowledge of the language and general evolution of the literature. She now can smile knowingly when a lecturer men- tions Bruyere or Espronceda for it was perhaps only yesterday that this author was the topic of discussion. Dr. Grannis and Miss Floyd spend many hours se- lecting records and other materials to aid their students and add interest to the course. It is no wonder that a student will brag on a good grade in her language class, for she is sure that she has earned it! Dr. Valleria Grannis brings Paris to life for her French students through pictures and the accounts of her own travels there. .fi Jane McCreight practices for one of the four annual music major recitals. MUSIC Mr. Smith nodded his head. A girl walked rather shakily to the stage and sat down at the piano. Wiping her hands nervously she began to play her recital piece, hoping her fingers would somehow find the right keys. The ordeal was miracuously over after what seemed an eternity, and the girl smiled with outward poise as she walked swiftly off the stage and collapsed into her seat. Other girls followed in her footsteps, some calm, some more nervous than the first but all with a look of slight wonder when they finally reached their seats again. The occasion was one of the four annual music major recitalsg at this time the voice, organ and piano majors display their improving talent and growing confidence. Back in the dormitory once more, one worn-out per- former said, It's so late now that I'll never finish my Music Theory homework. That's nothing, said another, It's my turn to direct the glee club tomorrow for Choral Conducting class, and I've lost my glee club folder! A voice student muttered while gargling with salt water, I needed a ladder to reach that high G in my piece tonight. Before going to sleep that night, one distraught organ student suddenly thought, Oh gosh, I left my shoes on the organ bench. The next day normalcy returned. Students went to their regular music classes and then began work on pieces for their next recital. Miss Washington referees a basketball gameg this is one of the major sports at Coker. PHYSICAL EDUCATION But Mrs. Saunders, I just can't keep my back straight, and my legs tight, my toes pointed, and do the exercise too! One poor girl has decided that modern dancing isn't so easy as it looks. Everybody is introduced to this feeling sometime during their stay at Coker as modern dancing is one of the requirements for a degree. If they don't acquire social grace in this course, they may have a try at square, tap or social dancing. There's a hockey game today, someone shouts. Let's go and give our team moral support. Down at the athletic field some girls are strapping on shin- guards and trying to find a hockey stick the right length. Others are running up and down the field try- ing to connect the stick with the ball. Another familiar sight to everyone is a group of girls heading to or from the stables in their riding out- fits. The discussions heard among these groups of equestriannes are strictly for the horsey set, for who else would know what is meant by posting on the correct diagonal, and ucantering on the right or left lead? Coker offers a variety of competitive team sports, such as basketball, volleyball and softball, in the phys- ical education curriculum. During the fall and spring, the tennis courts are always full, and a carload of girls may usually be seen heading for the golf-course. Also offered are archery, recreational games, gymnastics and swimming. 78 PSYCHOLOGY AND EDUCATION Psychology and Education help prepare students for the teaching profession. In order to be a good teacher one must understand the personalities of others and know how to handle all classroom situations. Standard deviation and central tendency are familiar terms to the Psychology student. Various tech- niques and methods in the solution of emotional prob- lems prove an interesting study to many students. The study of Developmental Psychology under Miss Helen Mills, associate professor of Education and Psychology, is informative and interesting. Many of these students feel almost capable of applying their newly acquired knowledge in a child guidance clinic. Philosophy of Education and Methods of Teaching prepare students for practice teaching. These two courses are under the instruction of Mr. Benjamin Bray, assistant professor of education and speech, and Dean Kenneth Kuehner, professor of education and psychology. Education students are aided in formu- lating their philosophies of education and in under- standing the objectives and techniques of teaching. They learn that enthusiasm is the basic essential for a good teacher. Dr. Kenneth Kuehner reminds students that children need a firm hand as well as love. ii QU' 15:1- Benjamin Bray R.

This is to prevent the amassing of too much power in any single body. Coker democracy is no exception. JOINT COUNCIL, the judici- ary branch of our col- lege government, has as one of its main func- tions the duty of checking on major decisions made by Student Council. These decisions include changes in the rules governing campus life and disciplinary actions. BONNIE CONE Chairman As the name implies, Joint Council is composed of both faculty and students. Students on joint Council include the president, vice-presidents and secretary of Student Council, house president of Memorial Dorm, and a representative from the Sophomore class. Faculty representatives include members of the Advisory Board which is composed this year of chairman Helen Mills, Dr. Kenneth Kuehner, Mrs. J. D. Reynolds, Dr. Ezda Deviney and ex-ofiicio member Dr. john A. Barry, jr. As president of Coker, Dr. Barry has the power of veto. Bonnie Cone, first vice-president of Student Council, serves as chairman of -joint Council. Some of the many duties of joint Council include the determination of student elegibility for participa- tion in extra-curricular activities. The approval of class and club projects also comes under the auspices of Joint Council. This council, for example, made it pos- sible for Coker students to give vent to their sup- pressed desires on a day designated by Christian Council. Any issue which is important enough to warrant ap- proval by joint Council receives the most careful con- sideration of each member. Nothing is considered hap- hazardly, no decision is made hastily. joint Council presents an excellent opportunity for an interchange of ideas and feelings between the faculty and student body. COKER'S 'CSUPREME COURT Fzrst row: Dr. Deviney, Baughman, Crawford, Binnicker, McLeod, Com+chairman. Second raw: Harvey, Bouknight, Dean Mills, Dr. Barry, Mrs. Reynolds. 15 88 Q' gy, , Every student at Coker College is a member of the Student Government Association. The association is an organization through which all activities of the college are coordinated, STUDENT COUNCIL, the executive branch of the association, is an elective group chosen by the students to represent them. Student Council formulated and puts into effect all needed regulations which must cover every phase of our college life. The council gives each student's opin- ion a means of expression through the representatives. At least once each week Student Council meets to discuss problems concerning our regulations. Various members have different jobs. President Betty Crawford conducts all meetings of the association and council, gives certain permissions and serves as ex-oliicio mem- ber of all student committees. First vice-president Bonnie Cone grants certain permissions and presides in Betty's absence. Second vice-presidents Martha Nell Bouknight and Pam Binnicker make dining room table assignments and grant permissions in their respective dormitories. Secretary Laura McLeod keeps a record of all action taken by Student and Joint Councils and takes care of correspondence. Treasurer Louise Atkin- son is in charge of all financial matters pertaining to the association. House Council is a vital part of the Student Gov- ernment Association. It is set up by Student Council to implement Student Council's work in carrying out the terms of the con- stitution regulations. House Councils consist ofthe House President in each dormitory, a house secre- tary, and representatives from each hall. A written report of all action taken by House Council is given to the Student Council secre- tary by the House secretary. Other deputations of Stu- dent Council are the Fresh- man Commissioner, the Chapel Committee, the fire drill committee, the Ushers and the Dance Committee. Student government exists because of each student's ideals and her willingness to carry her responsibilities toward herself, her fellow students and her college. The Council is strengthened by personal honor and student cooperation and participation in government. Council members try to set the best example possible and to instill in their fellow students a loyalty to our virtues of Character, Culture and Christian Service.

Third row: Baughman, Kissane, Land, Jordan, Mathis, Atkinson, Maxwell, Boukniglmt. 'g A means, not an end, is the idea expressed by Coker's CHRISTIAN COUNCIL. A means to what? To many things . . . to the completion of the ideals expressed SHIRLEY LAND on the Coker seal, Char- Pmidmt acter, Culture and Chris- tian Service . . . to the culmination of the integrated personality . . . to the projection of the fact that no life in which spiritual development is absent is a whole life. To implement these means, Christian Council spon- sors morning and evening watch, a vespers program on Wednesday night, hall prayer groups, and an an- nual Religious Emphasis Week. This year, the week was centered around the theme, How can I, as a stu- dent, formulate a philosophy of religion? There were talks by faculty members, and a panel discussion by a Jewish rabbi, a Catholic priest and a Protestant minis- ter. The climax was reached in a series of talks by Dr. Roy McLain. These are the means. What are their results? That can be determined by the quality of the girls who call Coker College their Alma Mater. UGO Ye Therefore . . .

Miss Elizabeth Newell, sponsor, was absent when the picture was made. if X Our Religious Emphasis Week was brought to a climax through the messages of Dr. Roy McClain. Many long hours of planning lay behind every aspect of our Religious Emphasis Week. As a. forerunner to our World University Service drive, Morgan Thomas, a representative from WUS, gave a talk stressing the needs of foreign students. Shirley Land and Molly Creadick check on the progress of the World University Service drive. One of the main purposes of Christian Council is to sponsor morning and evening watch.

Year of Memories rfrw' -i- E a amass ami aa TRICIA FISHER IEUEL GILLAM Editor Business Manage-r Lest we forget our college experiences, the Mile- stone staff works every year to create an annual picture and story book of memories. The Milestone photographer, Mr. E. E. Ashcraft, is led on a merry whirl for several months every year as he takes pictures of buildings, of games, of favorite spots, of classes, of girls and especially of girls. The originality required in deciding the angle of a picture, the arrangement of people in a group shot and the time of day to take a more dramatic photograph provide 92 a challenge for many of the Milestone staff members. Others enjoy the creative writing opportunities of an annual. This field is wide and varied, for an annual in- cludes anything from the deeply touching type of writing needed in the yearbook's dedication to the hu- morous, joking cutline which will be just right to go under a photo in the snapshot section. Perhaps the greatest challenge, however, is in the area of descrip- tion, for our Milestone attempts to describe a year of life at Coker, the formal classes, the exciting dances, the competitive class tournaments, the relaxing after- noons of sunbathing or card playing. An annual cannot be published without an efiicienr and enthusiastic business staff. Salesmanship and that special quality of being able to make one's product ap- pear favorable to others is found in those on the Mile- stone advertising staff. Other student business-women enjoy the typing, copy writing and make-up of an an- nual. Theirs is the pleasure of taking a scramble of raw materials, namely pictures, drawings, articles, informa- tion of varied types and coming up with a finished product, a Milestone, a picture and story book of a year's 'events on a college campus in Hartsville which some 560 Cokernuts never want to forget. .-65' , A l, l 'nl Y .'.' l ' Q ' K 4?

A member of the South Carolina Collegiate Press Asso- ciation, the Periscope carried a high rating with other college newspapers and has won several awards in the annual state competition. Under the helpful guidance of Dr. Charles A. Sisson, adviser, Nancy Phillips serves as editor of the student Extra publication and is assisted by Holly Sojourner. These three spend long hours planning what goes into the newspaper. News Editor Sally Stuckey looks out for the latest scoops while feature editor Julie Poole plans original features. The articles are then assigned to a stair' of talented reporters. Aletha Bond covers the sports beat from hockey to softball. Sally Gandy keeps Coker students in the know about what goes on at other colleges. Leland Cothran, business manager, pays the bills and balances the books. Angie Odom and her adver- tising staff have quite a task selling ads to merchants in Hartsville and surrounding areas. Wheii the galley sheets have been run off, copy editor Beth Humphries makes last minute corrections. Then the editors do headlining and make-up, and the paper goes to press at the Hartsville Messenger. Circulation manager Janice Johnson sees that the students, faculty members, and outside subscribers get their copy of the paper. The newspaper is out, and staff and students rightfully beam with pleasure at the Periscope, a paper to be proud of. Extra Seated: Phillips-editor. Standing: Stuckey, Dr. C. A.

' I E. if S1 4 c E r I ii KNEE r E Do you like to spend your spare tirne writing poems, sketches or short stories? If you do, the GATEWAY, Coker's literary magazine, offers you an opportunity for the expression of your creative talents. In 1956 the first edi- tion of the Gateway was published. Since then it has been edited once each year and frequent- ly two and three times. In recent years the Gateway had been dis- tributed in the spring. Until the day of its arrival, the girls at Coker wait anxiously to discover the some- times hidden talents of their friends. The best works of Coker students are collected and presented so that everyone can enjoy them. Awards are given for the most outstanding student literary contribution. Sally Gandy, our editor, did an excellent job. Sally and her assistant editor had the task of reading and re-reading the many outstanding articles that were sub- mitted. To them was delegated the difiicult task of de- ciding which of these articles were the best, since only a limited number could be published. After these diiii- cult decisions had been made, the layout was planned. Once this was done, Mary Ann Wicklide, the art editor had to plan appropriate illustrations. When the final layout was finished, the typist fought to meet the deadline. A cover was chosen and the proof sheets corrected. At last it was in the hands of the publisher. As a finished product, the Gateway represents not only the work of the advisers and staii, but creative effort and hard work on the part of the students. Withotit the talents of the students, there would be no Gateway. A staff can rearrange the articles and plan the layout, but in the final analysis the result is a tangible proof of the beauty that lies within the stu- dents themselves.

X.. 96 A familiar event on the Coker Campus is the bi- monthly Thursday night meeting of SIGMA TAU DELTA's Pi Gamma chapter. Students desiring to foster a new interest in literature and creative writing gather after supper for informal and enlightening pro- grams conducted under the sponsorship of Dr. and Mrs. C. A. Sisson and Dr. French Haynes. The program for regular meetings varies from the reading of material written by members to the dis- cussion and analysis of great literary works. Sincerity, Truth and Design, the motto of this English fraternity, is carried out in the original writ- ings of each member. The club's activities began this year with the im- pressive initiation services for the new members. This was followed by some horseplay supplied indirectly by William Shakespeare. The Sisson's Christmas party this year was some- thing special. Dr. Sisson administered the annual ritual of the Christmas cookie while the tiny revolving angels tinkled a delicate mes- sage of good cheer. Out- side, Mother Nature had frosted the land with a generous icing of snow. Coker's literary fes- tival was a highlight of the year. Guest speaker, Margaret Webster, not- ed director and actress of Shakespearean drama, presented to Co- ker students and guests her experiences in the field of drama and a realistic picture of Shakespeare and his works. The national magazine The Rectangle has pub- lished a great deal of work submitted by merr1b61'S from the Coker chapter.

And She Shall ake Music The MUSIC CLUB is an organization with mem- bership open to students having an average of B on six semester hours or more of applied music, and a gen- eral average of C on all other subjects. It meets the first Thursday and third Friday of every month at which time programs of varying length are presented. This provides an opportunity to hear fine music and gives its members an incentive to perform composi- tions currently being studied before submitting them at regular examination. The Club's programs are especially useful to sen- iors preparing recitals, but poise and assurance may be gained by all students anticipating public appear- ances in Chapel or elsewhere through participation in the programs. By offering many opportunities to gain experience through frequent appearance before a critical audi- ence, the Music Club functions as an integral part of the music students' education. Membership in the club should be a goal for every student working seriously in the field of music. Bees in their Bonnets The BIOLOGY CLUB's aim is to stimulate inter- est in biological work. It offers to students interested in scientific matters an opportunity to study impor- tant developments in this field. Mr. Reynolds and Dr. Deviney, co-sponsors of the Biology Club, meet reg- ularly with members to aid them in discussions on the new discoveries. In many of the meetings, film- strips and slides are shown to help the students un- derstand more fully the new ideas presented. The club also visits interesting places such as dentists' and ra- diologists' offices. Once during the school year the club has a supper at which they discuss many other interesting topics as well as scientific matters. All their time is not spent in scientific activities, however. During the Christmas season members prepare and carry a bas- ket of food to some needy family in the area. The goal of the Biology Club is to make students more aware of the wonders around us and at the same time to enjoy working together. Seated: Sawyer-president. Standing: Atkinson, McCreigl1t, Bishop, Campbell, Gibbons, Parker, Foster. By participating in the INTERNATIONAL RE- LATIONS CLUB students find help in reaching a better understanding of world problems. Each year a large group of students join I.R.C. indicating that a keen interest in world affairs is prevalent among the Coker student body. In the fall the new members are invited into the club at an international banquet featuring foods from all over the world. Upon admission each member takes the following pledge: I, realizing the seriousness of war and the neces- sity for that cooperation among nations which alone can make peace possible, do solemnly promise to study the relations among nations and to promote in myself and among others attitudes of sympathy and good will towards all peoples of the world to the end that understanding may produce peace. At their meetings club members strive to uphold the ideals of this pledge by seeking to discover the facts about current news of world-wide interest. With the help of Dr. Elizabeth Davidson, sponsor for I.R.C., the students then discuss the problem from all angles and try to obtain a clear picture of the whole sit- uation. This year I.R.C. has giv- en its members much ma- terial for fruitful discus- sion through its varied programs. A review of the book The Ugly American stimulated a very interest- ing discussion on our for- eign aid policies. Cther programs which gave many members an oppor- tunity to actively partici- pate in the meetings in- cluded such timely topics as the Space Age, com- mune life in China and capitalism versus communism. Interest in world affairs is a vital part of a good education and I.R.C. continually fosters this interest in its members.

This, of course, does not consist of only on-stage work but also those in- numerable activities which must be done for the final success of a production. Member- ship in the Queen Bess Players includes those people who have participated in any area of dramatic endeavor. Any student is eligible to try out for a play after her grades have proved satisfactory for at least one semester. An all-junior cast was selected for Blythe Spirit, produced and directed by the junior Class. This farce by Noel Coward proved to be quite successful. In November, the Queen Bess Players presented a PATRICIA CRAWFORD President group of four one-act plays. Male parts were taken by men on campus and in town for a complete break with tradition of having girls play male roles. These plays, as well as the junior play, gave a large number of students the opportunity to become eligible for initiation into Queen Bess Players. The club also sponsored trips to the Florence Little Theater. Not only the club members were invited, but also other students who were interested. Membership in ALPHA PSI OMEGA, the national honor dramatic fraternity, is the highest award given in the field of dramatics. Eligibility is limited to those who have had one major role in a play, three minor roles, or the equivalent in helping in the production of any play. Initiation is more severe and certain tests of proficiency must be passed before membership is granted. The climax of the year in drama came with the performance of The Boy Friend in late May. A large undertaking, the Queen Bess Players in cooperation with the entire drama department, under the super- vision of Mr. Benjamin Bray, sponsored the Broadway musical and the performance proved the effectiveness of these two groups.

Dawn to Dusk The Day Student on the Coker campus is a special breedkrhough outwardly not unlike dormitory stu- dents. She Cor, in some cases, heb is set apart from her on-campus sisters by a group of special charac- teristics which are all her own. the possession of a set of car keys, which for her are keys to education. occasional tardiness to Civ. lecture, not because she is lazy, but because the roads were icy. . . . frequent lunches at Boyd-Powe's, where she feeds on hot dogs and pepsi-cola Cshe has to budget her al- lowance to include food and these are cheapestb. habitation during free periods of such refuges as the library, for work, the canteen, for play, and the day student's.lounge, for a little of both. . .. a sometimes frustrating ignorance of campus go- ings-on. It is this last characteristic of the day student which the DAY STUDENT CLUB is designed to combat. It is her special organization through 'which she keeps in touch with happenings all over the campus and particularly those things which most concern her. In this way, she becomes, not a breed apart, but an inte- grated member of the Coker College community. 102 Bells on their Toes Coker's MODERN DANCE CLUB this year con- sisted of nine girls who worked especially on the com- position of dances under the able supervision of Mrs. Josephine Saunders. Pre-Classic dance forms, such as the allemande, courante, minuet and gailliard, were featured in a chapel program presented to the Coker student body by the club. In the spring the club made a two day tour giving programs at Charleston and Orangeburg high schools. On this tour they presented an educational lecture-demonstration type program along with the Pre-Classic dance forms and two nn- ished dances. The Modern Dance Club also per- formed for several Alumnae Association meetings during the school year. One of the most important functions of this club is to form the nucleus of the dancers who present the dances at the May Day fes- tivities. It is at this time that everyone can see the re- sults of long, hard hours of practice . . . results in the form of grace, poise and beautiful dances. First row: Kittrell, Eddings, Cobb, Gainey.

I N. f Coker's synchronized swim club adopted a new name this year. We are now the DOLPHIN-ETTES. All members soon agreed that the name was very ap- propriate. Under the close observation and gentle urg- ing of our sponsor, Miss Martha Washington, the club grew fins fast. Strokes and stunts were practiced and practiced until near perfection was achieved by May Day. Eight of our Dolphin-ettes performed a rigid march number for the fall high school weekend. Uncle Sam costumes swam to the martial tune Stars and Stripes Forever. A second performance of the Dolphin-ettes was given on Coke-r's annual May Day. The theme for this year's show was centered around the various sea- sons of the year. With apparent ease and grace, the girls glided through concise, synchronized numbers. Everyone agreed that the day's performance was well worth the many hours spent learning, practicing and perfecting strokes, stunts and routines. Every Monday night at 7: 15 one could see a crowd of girls heading for the pool with the traditional at- tire of raincoat and towel. During the third quarter the girls decided to meet three times a week to add extra hours of preparation for May Day. Though the club is seemingly centered around the May Day program, that is not its only purpose. Swim- ming gives grace, poise and excellent coordina- tion. All the girls will agree they have extra spunk when they swim a couple hours a week. The Dolphin-ettes also participate in swim meets, entering girls for racing, form and free style. Every girl in the Dolphin-ettes feels her importance as a member of a club whose main purpose is working together. Be- sides swimming like mermaids, the girls also fashion their own costumes, paint their own scenery and cho- reographed their own numbers. All these little drop- lets of imagination go into the big splash called the Dolphin-ettes.

Tryouts are held in the fall for those girls wishing to join. Twice each week H the girls meet in the au- ditorium of the Mar- garet Coker Lawton Music Building for reg- ular class sessions. At the end of the year members of the Glee Club receive one hour's credit. Q H I MOLLY CREADICK. President During this year the Glee Club prepared for and presented its annual concert in March. Included on the program were classical works such as Debussy's The Blessed Damozel and Brahm's Ave Maria. In contrast, more modern works as Paul Hindemith's The Harp That 0nce Thro' Tara's Halls and Isa- dore Freed's rollicking collection Postscripts were included. Soloists for the concert were Sara Ann Baughman and Molly Creadick, and the accompa- nists were Louise Atkinson and Janice Campbell. Complementing the Glee Club is the college octet under the direction of Miss Lavaughn Robinson. Be- sides its regular appearances with the Glee Club, the octet also performs at luncheons, banquets and church services throughout the state. Members of the octet this year were Sara Ann Baughman, Sharon Bennett, Molly Creadick, Mary Kay Huggins, Doris Kirk, jane McCreight, Caroline Quick and Mildred Wells. In the spring the Glee Club from the University of North Carolina appeared on campus and the Coker College Glee Club performed three numbers with them.

Every student at Coker College is automatically a member of the campus Athletic Association which is under the direction of ATHLETIC COUNCIL. Every Tuesday night Athletic Council meets to plan many of the good times we all have at Coker. Every fall there is an all-school picnic at the Country Club so that the new students will have an opportu- nity to get acquainted with the old students and the faculty. Athletic Council also sponsors the hockey, basketball, archery, recreational games and tennis tournaments which never fail to provide plenty of fun, excitement and keen competition. At the close of the hockey tournament there is the hockey banquet which is eagerly anticipated for it is at this time that the members of the Honor Hockey Team are an- nounced. This council al- so directs several week- ends when high school girls from all parts of the state meet at Coker for Play Days. A highlight of each year is the presentation of athletic awards to stu- dents who have made outstanding achieve- ments in athletics. This spring Athletic Council purchased bi- cycles which have pro- vided a form of recreation PATSY MAXWELL President very popular with Coker students. Two other special projects of the year were the sale of Coker blazers on a non-profit basis and the sponsoring of a faculty-student basketball game.

PLAY HOCKEY-Wliether winning or losing, hockey play- ers enjoy their sport and display outstanding coopera- tion and sportsmanship in each game. When hockey season rolls around, each class proudly shows off its own hockey team. Backed by cheering class members each team competes against every other team. The group which wins the hockey tournament is awarded honor points which aid that team's class in the year long inter-class competition for the President's Cup. At the annual hockey banquet which closes the season, those who played best in the tournament are selected to be on the honor team. This is a fitting award and an appropriate ending to a popular and exciting sport.

Spring brings the time to play tennis to Molly Creadick and other girls who like to be outside. inor Sports It seems that everything except tic tac toe is offered in the held of sports at Coker: golf, tennis, horseback riding, crewing, dancing, swimming, archery and even more. This versatility is essential to the physical educa- tion program because individual interests are so varied and the training of mind and body are important. Archery and horseback riding are among the most popular sports. Robin Hood might even find tough competition in the girls who have taken these courses. All the activities have their own qualities and mer- its but of more value is the fact that each one teaches patience and sportsmanship as well as co-ordination and skill. Horseback riding will always remain a favorite sport with the girls of Coker. . ' ' -...' -5 M '-n.4'x.'1- -1 -C. N- - : l' ,'-' '.P4'i'4'--- . 1- '. ,.

Juniors and seniors who have shown outstanding qualities and abilities are eligible for the honored po- sitions. The junior and senior classes nominate a group of girls whom they believe have best exemplified the qualities of scholarship, leadership and future useful- ness. This is based on all phases of Coker life, intel- lectual, social and religious. They are judged on both their interest and participation in all aspects of col- lege life. Each girl must show promise of future use- fulness to her state, nation and world. After being nominated by their classmates, the girls are recommended to the faculty.

Membership is further restricted to one-sixth of each graduating class, and not more than 50 per cent of the eligible juniors. Con- tribution to college life is also a consideration in the selection of members. Members are elected at the end of the first semester of the junior or senior year. In general, two and one- half years of work at Coker are required for eligibil- ityg but students who transfer from other institutions may become eligible after one and one-half years. Those who have been selected to become Sophiades' new members are received into the organization in a tapping ceremony. As the old members of Sophiades, wearing caps and gowns, remain seated on the stage, the president goes into the audience. She carries a rod wrapped in blue and gold ribbon. This is an exciting and suspenseful occasion as each new member is tapped on the shoulder and knows, for the first time, that she has been selected for membership in Sophia- des. That night a banquet is held in honor of the new members who are presented with corsages. Also at- tending dinner are old members of Sophiades and those faculty mem- bers who belong to hon- orary scholastic societies. Annually on Class we Day there is a meeting on the Coker campus of all old and new mem- bers of Sophiades. At this time many alumnae who were active in the Coker chapter meet the new student members of Sophiades and take part in settling of'the business of the organ- ization. Sophiades offers two awards annuallyg one for the best piece of student re- search work and the other for the best student cre- ative work of the year. The honor society also sponsors the regular Founder's Day address by a woman of distinction. 111 MARTHA NELLE BOUKNIGHT President Their Light Shines Forth First row: Harvey, Maxwell, Gee, Bouknight-president, Fisher, Miss Floyd, Sojourner.

To Lend a Helping Hand Did I hear you say that Coker girls wear plaid pinafores? Yes, you heard right. At least certain Coker girls at certain times of the year can be found in this attire. These girls are the FRESHMAN COMMIS- SIONERS. Honored by being chosen from the rising sophomore class as one of the sixteen commissioners, each girl cheerfully and enthusiastically performs her duties throughout the school year. The first and most important responsibility of the commissioners is to help the freshmen get settled in their new home. These are fun and action-packed times-that linger long in memory. During Orienta- tion Week the commissioners find themselves in con- stant demand. Although the commissioners take off their pina- fores after the first week of school, their job is by no means over. They are always around to give a helping hand to a puzzled freshman or a kind word to a home- sick little sister. It is considered a great honor to be chosen as a commissioner, and the responsibility that comes with the cherished title is very large. However, the reward is the greatest thrill of all for with the honor comes the satisfaction of helping others. Hail, Mighty Commissioner, and so Cmnmissioners at last.

Coker displayed her share of these superlatives in this year's annual BEAUTY-CUTIE CONTEST. The con- testants vying for the beauty and cutie laurels were selected by the four classes, various clubs and the or- ganizations of the college. The student body, through popular vote, selects the cutie queen and her six attendants. The beauty queen and her court of six are chosen by out-of-town judges. Appearing first on the stage of the auditorium be- fore a large audience were the cuties attired in casual dress or street clothes. Each girl was introduced with a catchy little rhyme dedicated to her worthy attri- Dr. Kermeth Kuel-mer crowns Beauty Queen Susan Martin and Cutie Queen Marianna Moon. oy Forever butesf, After the cuties there appeared a bevy of beautiful hopefuls bedecked in graceful formals and glittering rhinestones. Each girl was announced and presented to the audience and the judges. Linda Gibson supplied a musical atmosphere for the contestants. Additional entertainment was pro- vided by the golden voice of Sara Ann Baughman ac- companied by Frances Gray. The decision of the judges and the choice of the students were kept secret until the Christmas dance. It was here that Marianna Moon was crowned Cutie Queen and the crown of beauty was placed on the head of lovely Susan Martin.

Shakespearean drama. Drama, Past and Present Coker's twenty-first LITERARY FESTIVAL, No- vember 15 and 17, 1959, has been hailed as one of the school's most successful. Three one-act plays by Tennessee Williams and one one-act play by Eugene O'Neill presented by the Queen Bess Players began the festivities this year. Next on the agenda was a chapel talk by Miss Mar- garet Webster, noted director and actress of Shake- spearean drama, and guest speaker for the festival. That afternoon a panel discussion headed by A. D. G. Wiles of The Citadel on the subject The Shakespearean Character I Should Like To Play, ar- tracted a large audience. Coker students discovered that Mrs. J. D. Reynolds harbored a secret desire to portray Lady MacBeth while Mr. Benjamin Bray sought to play the part of Iago in Othello. Two guest panelists were Mr. Howard Monroe, of Florence, and Mrs. Carol jones Carlisle, a native of Alabama. As each one of the panelists unveiled his reasons for wishing to portray a certain character, the other members were given the chance to present their own opinions and remarks concerning that character. Many interesting views were brought forth from the panel- ists and from people in the audience. The highlight of the literary festival was the eve- ning program presented by Miss Webster. The statu- esque gray-haired actress-director gave a two hour presentation of some of Shakespeare's most outstand- ing characters. These were inspiring moments when mere names on a page were given life and meaning by her warmth and true understanding of the char- acter types. Miss Websters latest book, Shakespeare Without Team, found its way into many dormitory rooms after the sparkling personality and quick wit of the author prodded the curiosity of the students and made them want to know more about the great bard of Avon. A. D. G. Wiles meets Mrs. Elizabeth Boatwright Coker at the reception held in the drawing room. 131 Community Concerts Students of Coker College are very fortunate in that Coker takes full advantage of the Community Concert Service which is alliliated with Columbia Artists Man- agement, Inc. Dr. G. J. Lawhon, jr., of Hartsville, is the presi- dent of the Hartsville Community Concert Associa- tion and always strives to obtain the very best for his town. This year we were extremely fortunate to have three outstanding artists come to Hartsville. The opening concert presented Mildred Miller who is a mezzo soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Asso- ciation. Miss Miller won acclaim for her Octavian in Richard Strauss's Der Rosenkavaliern and as Cheru- bina in The Marriage of Figaro. She has also ap- peared on both television and radio on the Ed Sullivan Show and as a regular on the Voice of Firestone. In 1953 -she gave twelve performances as Carmen at Colorado's Central City Festival. julian Olevsky, violinist, presented the second con- MISS MILD RED MILLER ,X A Ag 4 Qi f an 2 1 .

He ranks as one of the top violinists in both the United States and in Europe. In January, 1958, he gave his fifth New York re- cital at Carnegie Hall. He has also appeared at the Empire State Music Festival as guest soloist with the Symphony of the Air and at Ravinia with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. In April, 1959, our last concert gave us Mme. Nicole Henriot-Schweitzer, pianist. She was the first French pianist heard in England after the World War II armistice and made her American debut in 1949 with the New York Philharmonic. Mme. Hen- riot-Schweitzer has also appeared with the Concert- gebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam and The Hague and has recorded for RCA-Victor with the Boston Sym- phony under Charles Munch. MME. NICOLE HENRIOT-SCHWEITZER 132 i Education in Art The ART EXHIBITS sponsored by the Art De- partment plav a vital part in the cultural education of students at Coker. Throughout the year the corridors outside the li- brary are a center of interest, here the paintings of various artists are displayed. These paintings are the recipients of many different criticisms from students who have various, opinions. The exhibits this year have been exceptionally well prepared and have had excellent variety of content. Some etchings of Isabella Bank Markell and some watercolors by Nell Choate Jones caused much evalu- ation and discussion among the students. The Click Club, a new organization for amateur photographers, presented a very interesting display of pictures taken by the members. The senior art exhibit . . . Mary Miller, Tricia Fisher and Julie Blocker seem to be anticipating the day when their picture will hang in this hall. 91' YQ m Lw, ,ggi 1 6212231 'fi' ' Coker students eagerly await exhibits by their friends, such as this one by the first year water color students. The Sophomore watercolor show was proved most interesting since the exhibitors were Coker students. Many comments were made for and against the exhibit Brazil in Pastels which was painted by Carl Berndtson. The colorful works of Edythe Ferris and Everett Misunas were presented under the title Prints in Color. The Senior show was displayed in May. This ex- hibit represents the final product of four years of study and hard work on the part of Coker's only senior art major, Patricia Fisher. She displayed a selection of prints, oils, water colors, sculpture and ceramics. Without the constant effort and interest of Mr. Nickey Brumbaugh, professor of art, these exhibits would never have been possible. He worked hard to obtain exhibits so that Coker students might enlarge their appreciation of art through the observation of new art forms. 133 :1': A ' DANCE COMMIT- TEE.

MARY ALMA GEE Chairman Serenade to Au- tumn, Coker's tribute to one of the loveliest seasons, was the theme for out first dance of the year. The dining room was transformed into a woodland paradise with Vermillion, ochre and russel leaves floating under a gold and orange crepe canopy. Music, by the Clemson jungaleers, was such as you might hear from the pipes of Pan. The Christmas season was ushered in by a mantle of white. The theme of the dance, Under the Mistle- toe, was carried out by Kissing Bells hung at stra- tegic points. One of the highlights of the dance was the crowning of the Beauty and Cutie Queens and the announcement of their courts. The climax of the school year came in an ingenious idea to combine the annual big-name dance with the May Day festivities. Our name guests for this year were the Four Lads and everyone agreed they made this dance one of our best.

This year, four one-act plays were presented, three by Tennessee Williams and the fourth, a monologue, by Eugene O'Neill. The success of these performances further stimulated the interest in the theater--the area of concentration of the 1958 literary event. The juniors, however, had no monopoly on the stage. February is always the month of productions, and February, 1959 proved to be no exception. The sophomores displayed all their dramatic acuity as they presented the original musicale The Loco-Motive and proudly bowed to the compliments paid them for a fine success. The seniors, a small but active group of hams, presented Fashions 'n Rhythm, to complete their trilogy of productions. In song and dance fashion, stores from Hartsville and Florence showed their spring clothes via the Senior class. Spring brought spring house cleaning and with re- gards to drama also. Instead of the usual spring play in March, the musical The Boy Friend by Sandy Wilson was presented on May 50 to complete the schedule of events for graduation week-end. The Boy Friend, which proved to be one of the most elab- orate undertakings of the Queen Bess Players, can be of Loco-Motive. regarded for many years as another perfected play in the repertoire of Mr. Bray. The student director shar- ing the honors was jeuel Gillam, who served the same capacity in the group of plays in the fall. And with this, the final curtain was lowered for 1959-a year of a succession of successes in drama. Nancy Bishop and Shirley Land performed in Something Un- spoken as a part of the literary festival. 137 THE SENIOR RECORD SHARON PATRICIA BENNETT Transferred from Furman University 2, Beauty Court 2, 3, 4, And Away We Go 2, Redskins to Rockets 3: Fashions 'n Rhythm 4, Ten Best Dressed 3, Best Dressed at Coker College 4, Glee Club 2, 3, President 3, B.S.U.
