B. Martin, Laban Lacy Rice, and our own Ernest Stockton . . . Justin Potter Hall now completed, W. P. Bone Hall completely renovated, the faculty enlarged to handle the influx of freshmen, and the campus loaded with more activity than when the first Phoenix came out in 1895. The sole objective of a yearbook is to represent the academic year — one where the students, faculty, and visitors take an active part. How does one represent, in a few short pages, all the moods, activities, and people who must be captured and held for the student to enjoy both now and forever? In doing this we strive to capture the Look of Cumberland — distinctive and unique in the world of higher educa- tion. The Look of Cumberland . . . These things are Cuml erland.

STOCKTON CUMBERLAND COLLEGE OF LEBANON, TENNESSEE TENNESSEE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT To the Graduating Class of 1964: For 12Z years Cumberland has been small by choice, Christian in emphasis, and deeply concerned about the quality of the intellectual, moral, physical, and social development of the individual student. From Cumberland classrooms have come a long parade of teachers, congressmen, college presidents, missionaries, doctors, lawyers, and businessmen who became a part of this tradition for high performance through their commit- ment to permanent values. Your days in historic Memorial Hall, on the campus, and in the classrooms have brought cherished friendships, exciting and enriching experiences, and the joyous quest for truth, beauty, and goodness. Today you join us in reaffirming Cumberland ' s purposes and in rededicating ourselves to the endless pursuit of high standards in every phase of life. Thus you now become the living link between the ageless past and the tinaeless future. To you, graduates of 1964, the flaming torch we throw, be yours to hold it high. Those of us who labor to preserve Cumberland ' s traditions and sense of values give you renewed assurance of our concern for your continued growth and development and for your valiant service to humanity.

In partial fulfillment of its obligation to the student body the Council started its year with a folk and ballad singing by Al Carpenter under the trees on the Campus. The necessary transfer of one member of the Council created the need for the election of a vice-president. The Monday morning of the week of the election found the campus draped and plastered with posters blustering cam- paign slogans and platforms. Sam Kyle emerged the vic- torious aspirant with George Summers fulfilling the role of the defeatee. Another of the duties of the Council is to make the Stu- dent Council and other student organizations well-balanced and workable. The Student Council established a standard ballot type and conducted all elections for the student body organizations. It is the function of Student Council to represent the stu- dent bodv to the administration. This year the Council ap- pointed two committees, the committee on Administrative Affairs and the Committee on Social Affairs. The Commit- tee on Administrative Affairs was composed of William Bas- sett. Brown Hawle . Pam Oldfield. and Jerry Brown. The members of the Committee on Social Affairs were Wayne Ballard. Frankie Smith. Jane Denton, and Pat Hackney. The student body gathers twice a week for assembly in Baird Chapel. These meetings are presided over by the Student Council and the meetings are instrumental in in- forming the student body of campus events. Winstead Bone serving as president of this assembly spent many hours with the secretarv Judv Ross, formulating reports on the various governmental activities. These reports served as a means of informing the student body of the programs and progress made by the Student Council. In co-operation with the Lebanon Garden Clubs the Stu- dent Council participated in the planting of trees in desig- nated spots which were appointed by a plan for the land- scape of the Campus as part of the Campus Beautification Program. 52 OFFICERS Another of the projects promoted by the Council was the institution of an Honor Council, which would be designed to encourage students to develop and nurture the qualities which are held admirable by mankind. The assembly also acts as host at all social functions such as open houses, homecoming and dances, greeting guests with warm smiles and friendly welcomes to the Campus. The body functions as a voice of thanks to the Board of Trustees and townspeople who support the college. A bus was provided by the Student Council to the basket- ball tournament in Alabama. The Council was also instru- mental in sponsoring dances and other entertainment pro- grams for the enjoyment of the students. The Student Council is the most important organization on campus. All other organizations operate around it and are in some way dependent upon it. Its members are en- dowed with a great responsibility to the school and their classmates. The services it lends the students are never end- ing and the hours devoted to its work are likewise — un- ending. COMMITTEE ON ADMINISTRATIVE AFFAIRS COMMITTEE ON SOCIAL AFFAIRS 53 THE PHOENIX As school opened for the season the Phoenix staff was bus- ily working away on the second floor of Memorial Hall for the first time in a room all their own. The staff had been working for several weeks by that time, for many lazy sum- mer afternoons were spent industriously as staff members trudged highways and byways selling or attempting to sell advertisements. This year the staff had a reward in return for an advertisement — a clever stop-sign informing the public that the merchant had bought an advertisement in the Phoenix. After much deliberation it was agreed that Taylor Publishing Company of Dallas would have the publishing contract this year. After the usual delay, arguments over monev. and inter- minable confusion the staff settled down to face the long cold winter and the difficult task of preparing a record of the year. Always pressing in the mind was that excellence and quality must be achieved. A main goal was to receive an Associated Collegiate Press rating. Sam Kyle. Phoenix Business Manager, represented Cumber- land at the National Convention of the Associated Collegiate Press in New York. He brought back manv suggestions and criticisms to help the staff. Later, he presented a report in chapel of his trip and his findings. He reported that Cum- berland ' s support w as among the best for college yearbooks — and it was due in large part to a small town ' s loyalty and help in all areas of college life. Another new projecf this vear was the publication of a church directorv as a service to the churches as well as a guide for visitors and tourists passing through Lebanon. The Phoenix staff also took charge of the operation of the gym concession stand — a little work — and added funds. Winstead P. Bone, IH was editor of the 1964 Phoenix and was assisted by Julia Kay Gregory. Although certain jobs were assigned certain people it seemed that everyone found work everywhere to do and that it was necessary to be tal- ented in areas from photography to literature. 54 THE COLLEGIAN The school newspaper, The Cumberland Collegian, is pub- lished twice each quarter by the staff and is entered as sec- ond class matter at the post office at Lebanon, Tennessee, under the Act of March 3, 1897. This year, for the first time, The Collegian became a member of the Associated Collegiate Press. This credit is a mark of distinction for a school news- paper and certainly merits pride and praise. This year ' s edi- tor-in-chief was Pamela Oldfield whose leadership and per- sonal qualifications contribute to a job well done. Of course, Pam could hardly carry the load alone, and she was equipped with a very capable and hard-working staff. In the role of business manager served Sara Catherine Haynes. Jean Osborn and Ronn Button were found busy in layout, spacing, de- signing, etc. Sports writing was undertaken by George L. Summers, Jr., who also does weekly columns in the Lebanon Democrat. Ann Baker, who was an assistant to the librarian, reviewed and introduced the latest editions and additions to the library. Seeing that the fresh-off-the-press copies reached the eager hands of the students was circulation manager, Margaret Ann Hobbs. Directing, advising, supervising, help- ing, filling in gaps, proofreading and worrying was the spon- sor, Professor Robert Stone. Progress was the keyword this year. The staff changed format completely, giving more news, more variety, more spice and verve to imjjortant campus happenings in five column, mukifacct headlines. For the first time in many years, Cumberland had a new building to establish, decorate, and dedicate constituting several stories. It had a successful basketball season to support, feature, and celebrate. There was a bigger enrollment to boast and new teachers to tell about. There were also a wide variety of new courses offered to familiarize the public with, plus new and revised standards and codes to publicize and criticize. There were more news items to run and generally a bigger and better coverage of the entire area of college life as it unfolded. 55 THE COMPANY OF SCHOLARS AND ADVENTURERS The fellowship of the Company is composed of a selected group of determined members of the College who wish to assume a greater de- gree of responsibility in the development of their own personal training. An invitation to the company fellowship of- fers the opportunity for independent study for those individuals who wish to create a personal record of distinguished scholarship by pursu- ing courses that will become an adventure for the mind. Membership in the Company is determined by a group of the Faculty chosen by the Dean of the College who will select each year cer- tain students who have demonstrated excep- tional abilit) in scholarship as well as in lead- ership. The Company is concerned with creating a more intellectual atmosphere for the college and in its pursuits of culture, offers art films to the student body and townspeople. Another of the programs of the Company is the study and discussion of the great books from which the ideal of the Company is ex- tracted. The writing of Socrates, Plato, Coper- nicus, Thucydides, Spengler, Spinoza, and Einstein are but a few of the authors studied by the Company. This year marked the adoption of a new symbol for the Company. The emblem is com- posed of a Greek poet warrior ' s helmet and waves depicting the spirit of adventure and restlessness. The emblem was designed by Dean Vi illiam J. Dickinson who acts as sponsor of the organization. The men and women of this association work toward the goal presented by the great wTiters of all times. This goal takes the form of the attractive, informed wholemen who are willing and able to participate in panoramic areas. In keeping with the tradition, the sect sets forth on adventurous expeditions up the Cumberland River and vicinity stopping occa- sionally to meet the challenge offered by a towering cliff. Outstanding social events of the year are the formal dinners, during which members en- joy an evening of pleasant discussion after a festive meal. Through the Company members are taught to put their thoughts into concrete forms, and to make reasonable decisions in informal dis- cussion groups. The members carried membership and the obligations which accompany it twenty-four hours a day. 56 THE STUDENT CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION The Student Christian Association is an or- ganization comprised of those members of the College who are interested in spiritual values and the spiritual solution to contemporary problems. The S.C.A. sponsored Religious Emphasis Week held each year and also as- sisted in the chapel and assembly programs each week. One of the goals of the organization was to provide good and wholesome group activities for the students. They sponsored several ball- games between students and businessmen. They were given responsibility for the activi- ties in the Recreation Center. This year for the first time, the Cumber- land S.C.A. sponsored a delegation to the Na- tional Student Christian Association held in Miami Beach, Florida. Wayne Ballard, presi- dent of the Cumberland club, was chosen as our delegate. Don Edwards, one of the mem- bers, accompanied him. The officers were Wayne Ballard, president; Jean Osborn, Vice-President; and Pam Old- field, Secretary-Treasurer. The sponsor was Mr. Homer Sparks. Wayne made a speech in which he gave an account of his trip and mentioned some of 57 the topics of discussion. The topics under dis- cussion were: United States relations in the Cold War, especially as regards conflict with the Communist ideology, problems emerging with the Atomic Age, mass culture, the race question, and an overall theme of Is the Chris- tian Dynamic Adequate? The Mid- Winter Beach Conference was held at the Di Lido Ho- tel on Miami Beach. 348 colleges were repre- sented as the Southern Area Student YMCA. The conference featured such famous speakers as Ralph McGill, Putlizer-winning Publisher of The Atlanta Constitution; Dr. John Oliver Nel- son, Professor of Christian Vocation at Yale University Divinity School; Dr. George K. Schweitzer, Professor of Chemistry, and Dr. Nichalas T. Goncharoff. Cumberland was the first college in America to be affiliated with the YMCA. Thus the asso- ciation has become an intricate part of the life of the Cumberland student. The association is instrumental in sponsoring recreation pro- grams. The group, under the direction of Homer Sparks and Margaret Campbell was functional in instilling an atmosphere of Christian fel- lowship among the students of Cumberland. PHI BETA LAMBDA The Cumberland College Phi Beta Lambda was char- tered by the .National Chapter in Washington, D.C., and was the Zeta Omicron Chapter. Last year was the first year that Cumberland ' s chapter became recognized as Phi Beta Lambda. The grouj) met regularly each month and discussed and planned various functions for the group that would be of some benefit to them in the area which they were asso- ciating themselves, that was the field of business or re- lated areas, and that would be interesting as well as re- warding. They also iinited various businessmen to dis- cuss topics of interest such as local and national busi- ness trends, and opportunities available for the business major. Mrs. Carolyn Vanover, sponsor of the group, gave a party for the members as a sort of introductory and get- things-on-the-road-affair. One of the main events of the party was a scavenger hunt, and there seemed to be great jovialitv in the findings. Several important excur- sions were planned and executed during the }ear. Among them, field trips to some of the local industries and tours thereof. Jan Brown was the leader of the club. She was sup- ported strongly by the invaluable service of cohorts Delores Brown. Jimmie Fay oodard. Margaret Young, Betty Agee. and of course. .Mrs. Vano er. Their efforts kept the organization smooth-running and as flawless as possible. OFFICERS SCIENCE CLUB The organization of the Science Club took place during the early weeks of the fall quarter. The Science Club is open to all students interested in the field of science or related areas. A variety of programs were planned in- cluding various speakers, and tours to places of interest were conducted. The purpose of the organization is to further the students ' interest in science and to give them a basic knowledge of scientific facts. Wayne Ballard was elected presi- dent of the club and was supported by Vice-President, Ronnie Floyd; Secre- tary, Stites Ray Carter: and Treasurer, Teddy Haley. The group included sev- eral speleogists who when things be- came unbearable above ground es- caped to the depths of the underworld. The sponsor, Mr. Thomas Hardaway, and some of the members made a num- ber of expeditions through some of the local caves. These bold and daring ad- venturers reported very enjoyable times. By the end of the year they had equipped themselves professionally — if only they could have had some kind of mud-repellent! Upon departure from one of the caves they looked like mud figures walking around. Nevertheless, the trips were enjoyed without casualties. They say it is very interesting down there ! MATHEMATICS ASSOCIATION Membership in the Mathematics As- sociation requires that the student have had higher mathematics or be enrolled in a mathematics course. Stu- dents with an inquisitive mind in this area gathered early in the fall quar- ter to organize the year ' s Mathematics Association and began by electing offi- cers. Elected as President of the Asso- ciation was Joseph Hardaway, Jr. Stites Rav Carter and Walteen Carter were named Vice-President and Sec- retary-Treasurer respectively. At the regular monthly meetings the club heard interesting speakers on sub- jects related to mathematics or science. Field trips and conducted tours to points of interest were planned. The purpose of this association is to aid and encourage those students in- terested in mathematics and to give them and others a clearer insight into the realm of mathematics and related areas. The association is under the re- sponsible and capable leadership of Robert Stone and H. Lloyd Brown. One of the projects this year was to de- vise an electric computer. Col. Brown made it possible for the students to obtain parts for the machine at a nom- inal cost. Aside from the advantages and contributions of a computer of this type, the satisfaction derived from having manufactured such a machine was above all the most important achievement. Other projects were the study and working of different types of prob- lems — some were really stumpers, but most of the members ground the axe and met the challenges presented by the seemingly insoluble problems. The group also concerned itself with the modern technique and conceptions is- sued by the ever-evolving world of mathematics. The mental labor put forth by these men not only of numbers, but theory, and philosophy is exemplary of the character of the men of the field. 59 THE COLLEGE BOARD OF PUBLICATIONS Tlip Board of Publications is a group consisting of both students and faculty wlio work together and are responsible for the production of all material printed by the College. Recently, the Cumberland College Press published its first book, Laban Lacy Rice ' s A Sheaj oj Epigrams. One of Cumberland ' s regular publications was a school newspaper. The Collegian, which was published twice each quarter and was edited by Pamela Oldfield, under the sponsorship and direction of Robert Stone who also served in an advisory capacity. In the spring, the long awaited edition of the Phoenix was issued to the students. This important book which endeavored to record all events and major activities during the year, was edited and prepared by Winstead Bone and a capable staff. Advisor for this group was Comdr. Thomas Harris. Perhaps the most important of the College publications, was the annual College catalogue, an interesting and es- sential bulletin for any college. This year saw the publica- tion of a fine development brochure which was most art- fully done while still containing all the pertinent informa- tion. Faculty advisors other than the ones aforementioned who supervised, critized, and otherwise regulated publishing were: Elizabeth McDavid, Gaye Clemmons, and Dean Wil- liam J. Dickinson. CUMBERLAND WOMAN ' S CLUB The Cumberland College Woman ' s Club was an organization composed of faculty women, faculty wives, and wives of board members. These women met five times during the school year. Interesting and informative programs were planned and various projects were discussed and carried out. One of the projects this year was a contribution in the way of a decoration to the newly- built Justin Potter Hall— the addition of the woman ' s touch. The women of the club also served in various capacities at col- lege social functions. President of the organization was Margaret Campbell. Lunette Gore was Vice-President and Pauline Hard- away was Secretary-Treasurer. 60 BULLDOG BOOS TERS The Bulldog Boosters was a group of Lebanon business men who took an active interest in Cumberland and her sports, and combine forces in supporting them. At regular dinner meetings held at the College cafeteria, the men discussed and carried out plans for gaining and strengthening in- terest in the Bulldogs. The Booster chairman this year was Walt Dillard, to whom, along with everyone in the group, Cumberland is very grateful for the valuable time and energy spent. PEP CLUB Any and every student who was interested in the Cumberland Bulldogs and supported them by their attendance and noise for the team composed the Pep Club. Members also worked in other areas concerning the ballgames. Whenever a sign was needed, or decora- tions for a game were needed — so was the Pep Club. With banners waving, megaphones uplifted, and tonsils in condi- tion, the Pep Club, seated together for better broadcast, boosted the Bulldogs onward from the moment they first came on the floor to warm up, to the last seconds. Some sat, giving vent to emotions pent up all day, while others ' hands met in applause of true appreciation for a fine team. Whether the Bulldogs were twenty points ahead, two points ahead, or trailing behind the opposing team, the Pep Club was behind them all the way. 61 Dr. Sollie Folt and a group from Clarksville performed in the second concert of the Cultural Series in an absorbing display of intricately organized sounds. The concert was directed at the more intellectual forms of music with a perspicacity rarely seen or beard. Among other numbers Dr. Fott played the difficult Sonala No. 6 by Handell for violin and piano. He was accom|)anied on the piano by Thomas Conway, an accomplished musician and Head of the . uslin Pcay State College Music department. The group also effected a Brahms Opus in C Minor with Dr. Folt, Mr. Conway and Jo Ann Hackman on the Cello. .Mrs. Hackman, a renowned cellist, is regularly seen with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra. Another of the numbers played was the Trio No. 5 by Ludwig von Beethoven. The romantic theme and lucid movements made this a favorite and securely en- twined the hearts of the audience. The first production of the Cultural Series was a joint pro- pram featuring Bettie McDavid and Louise Petersen. Miss Mc- David, daughter of Dr. Elizabeth McDavid, professor of Human- ities, provided a charming commencement of the series. Miss McDavid, a coloratura soprano, showed the full range of her vocal training in a repertoire the rendition of which would have taxed even tlie most experienced soloists. Some of the de- lightful songs rendered by .Miss McDav id were: Qili la 1 ' oce by Bellini, Mondnachi, .Mandoline by Debussy, and one of the soloists favorites; Si J ' osais from the Faust opera by Gounod. The high, clear voice and the charm of this young student enthralled but did not surprise the audience for her reputation had preceded her. Miss McDavid concluded her performance with an entertain- ing group of modern English and American lyric and folk songs. 62 The David Lipscomb A Cappella Choir performed at Cumberland late in the year after a tour which included several states. Mr. David Nelson, adept director, conducted the choir through three portions of the concert beginning with Come Jesu by Bach and Haecdies by Callus. The second portion included Babalon done by Milhaud and I beheld her as a dove. The third portion of this last concert included a treat by the Madrigal Singers, a special and most talented section of the choir. They voiced Sing We Enchanted as set down by Macley. Other numbers performed were Silver Swan, Echo Song, and a last number always popular with youth, Loch Loman by Robert Burns as arranged by Kubik. This marked an excellent end to the finest cultural series ever produced at Cumberland. Louise Petersen, a concert pianist, has studied at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and has served as professor of piano at the fJetroit Conservatory. .She performed as a true artist. The rhythmic vigor and lightness with which she plays made her performance a thrilling experience. Mrs. Petersen, a native of Detroit and a recent resident of Lebanon, played a Sonata from Von Beethoven ' s middle period which consists of two move- ments. The first in E .Minor and the second in E Major. The second movement of opu 90 was accomplished with clarity and a surging tone. The second solo, Sonata No. 3 by Dello .loie, was composed in the 1940 ' s and the second movement of which shows a definite influence of the jazz age. The speed and agility with which Mrs. Petersen ' s fingers moved across the Bechstein enhanced the audience immediately. CULTURAL SERIES 63 I CUMBERLAND PLAYERS 65 Oh Blessed Brvlcream.

The photographs on these pages cannot con- vey the charm, the happy wit, or the true beauty of this Helen from .Mar- blehcad, Massachusetts. One might say that practically every girl of twenty is beautiful, but Bab ' s beauty is fresh, natural, and unmanu- factured with quiet, radiant eyes which illuminate all the tranquility and ex- citement of Greece. Her vivacity is so beguiling Mr. Allen might well have wondered if he was judging her per- sonality or her features. George Allen courteously served as judge for the annual contest. He has traveled extensively and has acted as advisor and personal friend to Presi- dent Eisenhower. Mr. Allen has oc- cupied the position of chairman of the Board of numerous companies, corpora- tions, and governmenl al ronunittees.

Even when the competition was rough or the team seemed to lack drive, the cheerleaders kept the flame of hope burning in the hearts of all the loyal fans. They also promoted good sports- manship by severely discouraging jeers toward the opposing team. In the fall the student bod) elected cheerleaders from the freshman and sophomore classes. Each candidate had to be in good academic standing and had to maintain a sufficient average in order to keep the position if elected. Judi Sadler, Julia Kay Gregory. Alice Gregory, Betty Fitch. Dusty Hurlh. and Rustv Cury were chosen as Cumber- land ' s 1963-1961 cheerleading squad. The new cheerleaders met regularly under the direction of Betty Washer to plan and practice new cheers and songs. Much time, patience, and hard work was experienced before the new yells were mastered. During the first week of practice, the new cheerleaders could be instantly recognized as the ones pitifully hobbling around and making sign language as long-forgotten muscles were brought back to use. and tonsils became accustomed to the new and vigorous exercise. 86 CHEERLEADERS Julia Ka) Gregory, a sophomore, was chosen cap- tain of the squad and proved to be an excellent and capable leader. One of the chief goals for the year vas to get more students to yell at the games. They reached this goal as was exemplified at every home game. The students were always in high spirits and willing to yell. Because of various reasons, the squad lost four of their original members during the year and con- sequently, a new election had to be held. In this election, Pamela Oldfield, sophomore, and Bobby- ette McCoy, freshman, were chosen. The cheerleaders held a bonfire before the open- ing game with Northwest Alabama which consisted of several large trees piled in the bed of a dry creek. The cheerleaders organized a caravan in which the Bulldogs led the way in open conver- tibles through the town while the cheerleaders screamed and horns echoed. Of course, there were numerous pep rallies which the cheerleaders or- ganized and executed. Betty Washer, who served as coach for the group ; and her daughter, Kim, planned a party for the vic- torious team and the cheerleaders after the ball season was over. -•i!Ss«ji rv ..WG] ,ltMi.. u ' .f lj:,y ' Basketball 1 • ' iQ--- - . ■ E J - 5 ' W v r % w r i s L-j r n m Snvder helpless as ball goes to enemy Another goal before capacity crowd Mike Phillips tips another 89 ■■ Ml ■■ N II! I Jerry, free and clear, ups score by two Dennis pushes one in Ballard is fouled during APSC jrame Winning basketball games are not built in a day or even a year. It takes time to mold talent and the forceful guid- ance of a man. Cumberland is blessed with such a man in Coach Van Washer whose patience was rewarded during the season of 1963-64. Because of the graduation of most of the starring players from the past season, Coach Washer has had to develop a team with no previous experience on a college court. Despite several costly injuries, the Bulldogs have had a successful season. In 19 regularly scheduled games, they have won 1.5: for Cumberland ' s best season! At the guard positions for the Bulldogs this year were Jerry Anderson and Dennis Snvder. Both developed good movements and an accurate eye for the basket. Supporting the guards were Wayne Ballard and Mike Phillips at for- ward. Mike, a freshman, and Wayne, a sophomore, were definite assets to the team. Tommy Head, center, used his height to claim numerous rebounds. The Bulldogs opened the season as host to Northwest Alabama Junior College with a 91-66 victory. Tommy Head proved to be an asset in his first college game as he col- lected 27 points and had control of both backboards. As- sisting Head on the boards were Wayne Ballard. Darrell Burden. Mike Grebe, and Mike Phillips. Snyder suffered 90 Anderson ' s first injury of the year Come fly with me an injured ankle but made a determined comeback with a total of 16 points. Jerry Anderson and Buddy Tubb as guards played havoc on the opposing team throughout the game. Cumberland rolled up their second straight win by de- feating a traditional rival, Martin College of Pulaski by a 94-80 decision. Mike Phillips led the team in scoring with 22 points. Phillips was closely followed by Dennis Snyder with a total of 20. The Martin cagers found it difficult to take the ball away from guards Jerry Anderson and Buddy Tubb as they moved smoothly through the full-court press. Hopkinsville, Kentucky was the scene for the Bulldogs ' third straight win, 86-76, as they challenged Bethel College. Hitting the net at a fantastic pace, Captain Wayne Ballard poured in 31 points. Assisting Ballard was Tommy Head who not only scored 27 points, but in the process pulled 29 rebounds from the boards. After experiencing a heartbreaking defeat by Hiwassee, 59-63, the Bulldogs made a pronounced comeback over the Lindsay Wilson Blue Raiders with a 19 point margin, 95- 76. Returning letterman, Wayne Ballard, sunk 26 points while freshman, Dennis Snyder, was close at his heels with 25. Jerry Anderson, masterfully handled the ball, setting up other players with wide open shots. 91 The Bulldogs swept past Snead College 96-63 and in the performance handed the Alabama College its first Dixie Conference loss of the season. Ten different Bulldogs got into the scoring column. Wayne Ballard, 6 ' 2 forward from Mar ville. paced Cumberland with a 21 marker. He was fol- lowed by Tommy Head ' s 23 and Dennis Snyder ' s 18. Cumberland won an easy but costly 117-87 victory in Alabama as they defeated Northwest Alabama. The aces, Wayne Ballard and Dennis Snyder suffered badly sprained ankles. The sensational total of points by the Bulldogs set a new single-game scoring record at Cumberland. Tommy Head led by tossing in 22. Cumberland finished the game in odd fashion with only four players on the floor, having lost eligible substitutes via fouls and injuries. What best describes the type of Cumberland team in 1963-64 is hustle and desire. The Bulldogs never gave up without a battle, as was exemplified in Pulaski where they cut the Indians ' lead from 12 to three in the final six min- utes. Martin won 75-72. Tommy Head hit a solid 27 points and Jerry Anderson scored 18 as he turned in his best all- round game. With two of their starting five still out of ac- tion, the Bulldogs sneaked by MTSC Freshmen 85-84. Wayne Ballard and Dennis Snyder were still out of action due to ankle injuries. Players hustle for loose ball No wonder I don ' t have anv hair! Grebe waits for player and rebound to come down Mike gets one in the back Tommy Head and Jerry Anderson were the one-two punch for Cumberland as they threw 27 points. Head also con- trolled the backboards by pulling off 20 rebounds. The Bulldogs calmed the Crusaders from Cattanooga with a surprising victory of 84-75. Trailing by five points with a little over three minutes to play in the ballgame, the Bull- dogs employed a full-court zone press and outscored the Chattanooga team 18 to 4, thus, pulling the game out of the fire. The Bulldogs led Temple 40 to 33 at halftime because of a hot streak of shooting just before the half ended. Be- fore Cumberland could get started in the second half, Tem- ple scored 8 straight points to take the lead 41-40. From then on until the press was used, the Chattanooga team lead most of the way. Tommy Head and Buddy Tubb lead the Bulldogs to victory with 24 and 21 marks respectively. Cumberland ' s Bulldogs had to push themselves to slip past Columbia Military Academy 65-60. The second and third quarter scoring for Cumberland did the trick against the strong prep school team. At the end of the first eight min- utes of play, the score was tied, 15-15. In the second quar- ter Cumberland outscored CM A 17 to 13 and then 14 to 10 in the third quarter of play. The Bulldogs held a 32-28 lead at the half. Dennis Snyder hit the nets for 22 points, and was followed by Tommy Head who threw 17. Wayne Ballard was the only other Bulldog in double figures with 12. The mighty Bulldogs rudely shattered Columbia Military Academy for a second straight victory of 86-62. During the first 20 minutes, the Bulldogs, shooting a high percent- age blew out in front of the prep-school team and held an 93 Darrcll ijcls fierce us opponent tries to score Bill Stpvi ' ns lct line llv Crippled captain kisses sweetheart Roger receives during; CMA game Statisticians amazing 62-29 lead at intermission. Six of the Cumber- land players scored in double digits; Tommy Head in front, Buddy Tubb, Mike Grebe, Mike Phillips, Wayne Ballard, and Jerry Anderson only a few points behind. The top-ranked Bulldogs excelled all expectations once again as they passed the century mark for their second domination of Tennessee Temple College. Tennessee Temple blew to a 6-0 lead in the first few minutes of the game. Within the next 20 minutes of play, Cumberland shot out a 36-27 lead and was not reckoned with the Crusaders in any other part of the game. The Bulldogs posted a final 101-59. Coach Van Washer feels his team ' s best games this season were against Martin (94-80), Lindsey Wilson of Columbia, Kentucky (95-76), Austin Peay State College Freshmen (80- 76 overtime), and Middle Tennessee State College Fresh- men (85-84) (88-84 overtime). Cumberland scored 80.5 points a game on the average this year while giving up 75.4 to opponents. The Bulldogs out-rebounded opponents and had a shooting percentage of 45. Top rebounder of the team was Tommy Head with 308 in 23 games with an average of 13.4. Tommy also had the best field goal percentage which was 50%. Dennis Snyder led in free throw percentage with a 77% average. Although having a good enough record to be seated in the tournament, the Bulldogs were placed fifth on the list because of an economic ruling. Snead College elevated to the host team position, which is the No. 1 position in the tournament. The Cumberland College Bulldogs felt both hurt and mis- used at the seating of teams in the Regional VH National Junior College Athletic Association Tournament at Alberts- ville, Alabama. The Bulldogs had justly expected to receive the number four seat in the tourney. A rebuilding year. Coach Van Washer, and a group of hustling boys made up a scrappy team that had moments of greatness.

J v - ' ? : %wH B A S E B A L L The 1964 baseball season opened with a large turn-out of boys who wished to play on the team. The first day of the process which was designed to select and train the members of the team for the year found the campus sprinkled with a white substance commonly known as snow. Fortunately the coach wasn ' t too hard on the boys and no cases of double pneumonia were reported. However, several boys devel oped bad colds which were probably due to the lack of clothing in the excitement. As spring burst forth in a spray of greens the team was ready to settle down to a severe training schedule and the team began to take shape with Charlie Robb as pitcher, Charles Kolbe as catcher, and Mike Phillips, Wayne Bal- lard. Buddy Tubb. and Dennis Snyder composing some of the key teammates. As is the usual course of events, several of the aspiring ballplayers were eliminated after putting forth a good effort. The team was kept busy all through training and when the season started they found themselves traveling through the states of Tennessee and Alabama to meet their anxious- Iv awaiting opponents. The influences of Spring caused a great deal of student interest and many students were found spending a pleasant Spring evening watching the games. The team, under the d irection of Van Washer, was able to meet many challenging opponents and the season was a source of great enjoyment to faculty, students, and players. 96 Cumberland Baseball Schedule April 4 Marion, Ala.

Ed. program. Some of those participating admitted that they had loads of fun — and got credit, besides! The old bowling green, now air-conditioned buildings and equipped with snack bar and hardwood floors, attracted the hardy bowling set and chal- lenged their energetic forces! Jane and Grady perhaps questioned the score-keeping of Wilson and Joyce who spent a goodly portion of the time in the gutters (in different alleys, however ) and spares slyly turned to strikes as the score sheet was left unattended — Judy and Sam just sat quietly by. seemingly satisfied. One thing about the Cumber- land bowlers is that they are in a league by themselves. Luckily, for humanitarian reasons, ' 64 had seen the advent of the automatic pinsetter and despite Sam ' s body english. it told its tale — and there were no casualties. 98 FENCING The year opened with the new members of the fencing team yelling disgustedly louche. The sounds of the agonizing cries echoed from the walls of the gymnasium and returned to the ears of the innocent victim of some second year student to rub salt into the wounded pride of the beginner. The art of fencing is a skill acquired over a period of years. It requires the development of cer- tain muscles which are never used by most people. It demands a sense of balance, like to that of a dan- cer, but above all, it requires mental concentra- tion. The brain must be able to send impulses to the body in time to stop the saber of the opponent. The vivaciousness of the beginning fencing stu- dent was sometimes difficult to control but after a few weeks of bruises and welts, the inaugurator discovered that he was not the Errol Flynn he once thought himself to be. Fencing classes were instructed by Dean Dickin- son, and were a source of vigorous exercise and exhausting combat. Perhaps the year of fencing could be condensed into three words which were so often expressed by Dusty — Oh! that smarts. Many other quaint expressions came ringing from the often-injured crusaders, but despite the suffering incurred, members continued to partici- pate and struggle against the slowly progressing accuracy of their opponent ' s sword. J ' ? ' A SOFTBALL Intramural softball was off to a fast start e eii Ijefore Phys Ed classes started when Dr. Ernest L. Stockton whipjsed off his coat and sailed a fast one out of the park at the Cedar Forest picnic for faculty and students. Bill Smart had to use all his vaunted speed to stretch his triple into a four-bajiger. His famous inverted hook-slide just eluded the stab of agressive catcher. Robert Raley. Coeds, too, played America ' s favorite sport as Mary reached too late for a high and out- side ball soon to nestle in Robert ' s protective mitt. Then -Mary wound up nearly too tight to pitch her fadeaway ball right past the bat- ter. But soon Mrs. Eskew had all running for the snacks when soup ' s on ' was the call all over the picnic grounds. Miss Margaret, as al- wa}s, won the day with her fried chicken and voluminous tid-bils. 100 BASKETBALL Basketball was perhaps the most highly emphasized sport of the Phys Ed program. During the winter months, one could go to the gym almost any afternoon and find students engaged in some rather wild games of basketball. These games were hardly to be compared with a real game — well, at least, there was a basketball involved! But strangely enough, along with sweating brows and strained muscles, there were points scored — Larry and Brown enjoyed a friendly scuffle over the ball, before teammates Rich and Stites ran in to break it up — Judy managed to break through a mighty offense zone to drive in for a lay-up, then they all stood astounded as the ball dropped safely through the net. Coach Washer allowed the Bulldogs to sit in the bleachers for a change and be entertained for a while. Had he only have been able to foresee some of the great po- tential of these amateur players — He might have said, For- get the whole thing ! TENNIS After the first spring thaw and llu ' ground was firm beneath the feet once again, there was suddenly a fevered searching and digging into closets and trunks — and the old tennis racket came on the scene, ready for another season. Coach Van Washer supplied necessary equipment and instructions and urged the students to get on the courts. Anxiously began the battle across the nets. Whether singles or doubles, the game was exciting. It seemed that Coach ' s instructions were rather vague and in- discernable as he repeated them again and again — Roger. Jan, Pete, and Ann seemed to stand frozen, waiting for orders as to what to do next. It ' s all a matter of hitting the ball back across the net when it comes sailing toward you. Bit by bit. they learned — so they didn ' t master the sjjort — but now when the sound ' Tennis, anyone? falls on their ears — they are at least familiar with the topic of conversation. One of the most important things in playing a successful game is the serve. Roger smacked a good one and watched it sail through the air as if it had been or- bited to fly to the moon. But Pete leai ed to retrieve it and sent it back in frenzied haste, much to his own and Roger ' s surprise. A call of 127 love brought Coach ' s palm to his forehead, but he w-as reassured by a resounding — thwack — as Ann, running blindly, reached suddenly to stop a ball as it soared in the blue, freely and unattached. Coach began the season with the hope of entering the best of his pupils in a tourna- ment which would be a test of his skill as an instructor, as well as a test of his stu- dents ' skill as players. Hesitantly fearful, he plunged into the attack of the mountain- ous challenge which stood in his path. The sport of kings — and queens — flourished in the spring and the fall when Coach Van Washer came out with an armful of arrows and long English bows. Mary closed her eyes as she awaited the red apple to be placed on her head for some future William Tell — not Bobby, surely, shooting off the wrong side — certainly not Jane, who couldn ' t hit a barn from that stance, or Judy who ' s just there for decora- tion anyhow. But wouldn ' t you hate to have lived over there on Cumberland row, or worse still, have been a bird flying over old Cumberland Campus — only to run into a flurry of feathered darts, guided missiles launched from our sedate seat of learning. Oh, well, anything to put in those hours for Phys Ed credit and get that A! But after long hours of practice came the big Archery Match and Jake Gwin, even without firearms, came off winner. Bull ' s Eyes were ruined, shot to shreds in the cen- ter, and hay spilled out all over the campus. The bearded one had struck again, never twice in the same place! . . . And the year of ' 64 closed for our Hollywood Injuns. ARCHERY 104 Day Much activity and excitement went on the days and nights preceding a game. When a rival was due on campus, the cheerleaders gathered to cut and paint placards which boasted victorious slogans and humorous portraits of the opposition. The girls re- turned to the dorm a little after time-in for appointments with unopened books and empty hair curlers. The morning dawned on red-eyed cheerleaders and Pep Club members tacking clever signs throughout Memorial Hall. At noon the cafeteria was filled with people who looked like refugees from limbo, but were cheerful nonetheless. Always there was something — whether an enormous bonfire, or a crepe-papered caravan. The drawn, distraught faces cheered at the sight of the colored convertibles, but when they dispersed to beauty parlors or barbers, the faces relaxed again to show fatigue. In the late afternoon, the girls ' dorm, always bedlam, was still more disrupted. Hair had to be curled, showers taken, skirts pressed before seven-thirty in case some- one might stir in the boys ' dorm soon enough to be on time. As game time drew closer, the preparation grew more hectic; the team was missing a uniform, night classes had taken away all the concession stand operators, or the photographer had not shown up. The crowd gathered slowly in the gym at first, then the Pep Club came with a bugle, a flag, a drum, and more noise than most buildings could accommodate. Young and old alike crowded into the bleachers; some to watch, while others only sipped their soda and wondered if those men running up and down the floor war- ranted so much noise. All things considered, the game became almost an anticlimax of preparations, de- pending, of course, on victory or defeat. But sixty-four was a year of few losses. Re- member the Middle Tennessee Game — 85-84. Or remember Dennis sitting in the concession room with that ankle in ice water — or Robert Dean yelling himself hoarse — or forty cars streaming through town with horns blasting — or Julia Kay forgetting how to spell Bulldogs during a pep rally — or Commander Harris correcting the grammar on the Pep Club ' s signs? Remember those things — that was a game day, Cumberland College style, 1964. 105 This, gentlemen, is a basketball A n education in rotation Student-Teacher relationship Leap vear or not — he ' s gonna ask ine first.

All laujihing. lalking. hning. hating, expressing all emotions. Here are frozen pictures void of the exulierancc llial was nali e and liuhlilcd llirough the halls and stairways, patlis and lawns. The life is stop])ed, preserved for nostalgic minutes and hours of looking hack. 1 hese are the |)layful freshmen who came to marvel and there be caught u|) in the stream of life and education. The faces changed expression and the bodies altered their posture. Nothing was so im|)ortant as life and happiness and then the classes, ballgames, and lovers came to change the visages to serious intent of making the grade or winning or loving. All these things and more too weighed on the eyes and ears. There was much to be done for so )oung a group. Some worked, some played, everywhere shadows of light and dark molded themseKes into human forms. What has ha]jpened and what will hap|)en to those who ran through the halls in the burnished fall, who sat at tables and talked deeply during the niclanchoK winter, and who wandered in pairs during the lush, fresh, lazy spring? Are the faces with you now or have they gone another wa ? Do c)u icnicndier the faces, hands, tears, laughing mouths, sparkling ejes. lean and athletic l)f)dies. soft humor, or quick wit? What place is this, where are we now? All activities recjuire people to initiate, per- petuate, and end them; from registration to gradua- tion there were people responsible for creating and carrying out. People participating in dances, card games, and off campus revelries. The college func- tions with and by active |)eople who help, who make for themselves, who want to lead and be lead. There those unalterable registrations of those who did and didn ' t, those who came to stay and those who left, and those who wanted and those who made. They all chose this for their |)lanet. their orb of (| tg|€.j i- iwi i(jrf life, some chose to scorn, some to learn. Some escaped to other planets and universes, but always they returned to begin again where the had stopped. These faces are the earth to some, while to others these faces change and the planet school verve is changed like the seasons in an unswerving pattern. But to those whose faces surround the student there is alwass tlic planet school made up uf things and principles, stolid and sound. Here is the conglomeration of other people from other earths anil universes, assembled under one solar system and lending their knowledge and per- sonalities to the wa of life the bygone student knows as Cunibci land. 152 THESE ARE THE PEOPLE. 153 Justin Potter Hall, a dormitory for male residents and housing 80 students was dedicated in a formal ceremony on November 8, 1963. The building was planned for attractive facades, its comfort, and its functional design. Rice Observatory This Women ' s Dormitory, W. P. Bone Hall, was completely renovated in the summer of 1963. The modernizations included tile baths, new furniture, refinished floors and walls, as well as a new exterior. 154 THE PLACES, Today, Cumberland is in its strongest position in history, but it is faced with a challenge of magnitude — the task of equipping itself for its role as a National College. In order to effect this step forward the Board of Trustees has resolved to seek the support of alumni and friends of the College in obtaining $2,000,- 000.00 to strengthen Cumberland ' s position. More than one-fourth of this goal will be devoted to the construction of new student housing. The entire $2,000,000.00 was alloted for new buildings. One- tenth of the total was alloted for plant modernization of Memorial Hall, which includes a large rotunda directly behind the main entrance, and a complete renovation of the building ' s interior. A new library was also put on the schedule for 1967. The most pressing of the Building Committee ' s plans was the completion of a new Student Union Building of which the cost was estimated at $275,000.00. The Board of Trustees recognized the College ' s position as stable enough, in January of 1964, to proceed with the building as scheduled. One of the major portions of the building program was an organized landscap- ing of the campus perpetuated by the Garden Clubs of Lebanon. The funds for this program were raised by an annual fashion show, a highlight of the spring- time. Cumberland ' s Building Program was considered secondary to the academic development of the College. The trustees stated that they wished to see an ever increasing and revising of the school ' s philosophy. This 827.5,000 Student Union was allocated by the College Board of Trustees on January 12, 1963. The plan, including two recreation rooms, a student lounge, and separate faculty-student dining rooms, was scheduled for completion in late August, 1964. 155 AND THE THINGS OF CUMBERLAND. ja 156 These were the things of Cumberland. Things much and little used which w ere constantly lost among the scurry and hurry of people ' s going and coming: yet they waited silently to be used again. There are also the things unnoticed in their juxtaposition with the people and places. There were little things which were the subject of some private joviality betw ' een two friends, and there are also objects w hich hung on the wall for all to see, but were often ignored. There were immovable objects, some of which were soft and comforting, others which were hard and functional, used and swiftly forgotten — never to be thought of hereafter. The observant observed once, twice, and then utilized, while others came and used but never saw. Some meant special things to certain people who used them well and wisely. An object is only as functional as its design. Cumberland ' s things were designed to be used or enjoyed by someone: the cheerleaders used megaphones, Buddy Tubb used a basketball, the science laboratories used one thingumajig after another, and all students used their books, or should have. Of course these things were found in all places and were not in- diginous to the campus or the way of Cumberland life. But there were also things, tools, devises, implements, gadgets, contraptions, and je ne sais quoi, which are remembered only from Cumberland and henceforth will connote a happy time of life. The creation of a Justin Potter Hall, the May-Westpy motorscooter combine, the poetry of Robert Stone, and the tiny little hat Dr. Stockton wore were all things distinctive of Cumberland. What was most used? Perhaps the clock that hung at the top of the stairs in Memorial Hall or even the stairs themselves. How many times did a student look at that old clock in the space of a year; it was seldom right, but we went by it anyway. How many times did a student trudge up the steps to sheepishly hand Mrs. Fly a flock of overdue books. Perhaps, however, the most unnoticed object on campus is the tower which rears its lofty peak above the dew studded grass and reigns over all Cumberland. One feels, sitting under a giant oak and looking up, that it is the one in- dominable thing and that if one returned in an- other hundred and twenty-two years it would still be there. This l30ok is a year ' s history, taken from Kves and pasted in a new volume. It represents a major chapter for the individual, and a significant part of the college. Recorded here are the faces of a studentry, some laughing, crying, toiling, playing . puzzled faces wondering where to 2:0 , and faces placid with having arrived. 158 3 l nPnr 1 Interned on these pages is a ji Hk H prodigious spectacle of .aH human life in a unique circumstance: college education. Here, then, is the catharsis, the purgation, the distillation of the look of Cumberland for your recollection of a brief sojourn. mmhr ' Hi ' t Ifil ' i ' - ' ' 111 ? still smoldering column of the first university hall the word Resurgam, We offer this book to God and whosoever shall see fit to witness: Resurrexi, ■ iz fikM:fm , K-c ' m •SM m
