Cumberland is not on architectural wasteland of faceless buildings, it is not a useless hulk of stone and steel. We have consecrated these halls with shouts of laughter and winces of sorrow. In these walls we have grown and learned and visited other lands and worlds in sleek ships of learning. Here we have felt the warm glow of fellowship and here we have loved. A part of that love and fellowship permeates the tradition which is Cumberland. We, the staff of the Phoenix, here attempt to hold an all- too-small mirror before these emotions in order that those who have experienced them may look back in years to come and laugh or perhaps weep. We hold forth for all to see this — the testament and record of a portion of our lives. 4 c Here is Cumberland ' s year . . . Justin Potter Hall . . . pumpkin-cutting par- ties . . .

True, our world has been the astounded witness to the rise of myriad self-educated men. But these spectacles are now rare indeed. We all feel a need for a guiding hand through our education, and this hand is extended by the faculty. Only as they let the light from their torches of intellectual experience shine forth may we catch a glimpse of the far corners of the luxuriously decorated room of knowledge. However, we need as well those men who are organizers, co-ordinators, administrators men who can plan and map and chart our courses through the sylvan glades of thought. Theirs shall be the astrolabe, the compass, the sextant which will give the direction to our endeavors. It has been said that leaders and teachers only bring out in students that which is already there .... that their purpose is to mold these minds. We at Cumberland cannot see that this diminishes — nay — this is the highest of callings — to administer to the heart, the soul, the mind of Youth. 13 DR. ERNEST L. STOCKTON President of the College BOARD OF TRUSTEES Since 1951, Cumberland has been con- trolled by a self-perpetuating Board of Trus- tees composed of distinguished civic, business, professional, and educational leaders. These talented and generous men support and direct the activities of the College, which is a liberal- arts institution constituted solely for the pur- pose of imparting sound learning in an at- mosphere pervaded by the principles of Chris- tianity, good citizenship, and the love of free- dom. The Board of Trustees elects the Presi- dent of Cumberland College and appoints the faculty and staff members of the College. The Board of Trustees, with unity of purpose and consistent enthusiasm, is the driving force behind Cumberland ' s growing success and brightening future.

Bassett, Margaret Young, Thomas Terry, Linda The Cumberland College Student Council is designed to represent the student body in the government of the College, to enable the students to enjoy College life to the fullest extent, and to assist the students in ge tting the most from their college education. This past year, the Student Council has been able to increase its revenues because of the diligent work of its members and leave a surplus for next year ' s officers. At the same time, expenditures have more than doubled. Port of these expenditures help finance var- ious dances and the sending of a card, a tele- vision, or flowers to ill students and friends of the College. Appointed committees are in charge of recommendations and action in their various area. Campus beautification is an important endeavor of this student governing body. Trees have been planted throughout the grounds. Often the Student Council members police the campus, besides providing an ex- ample for the entire student body. Grady Vanatta, Bill Stevens, and Bill Bas- sett were able to attend a model United Na- tions seminar for the Mid-South region at the University of Nort h Carolina during the month of February. Certainly this venture was most interesting and informative for the three dele- gates and a worthwhile project for the College. Community relations are always promoted energetically by the Student Council. Tick- ets to the March of Dimes concert featuring Boots Randolph were sold under the auspices of the Council. 56 Student Council Officers: Frances Smith, Vice President; Bill Bas- sett, President; Margaret Young, Secretary-Treasurer. The opening of the Wilson County Library was well attended by Cumberland students and faculty. To benefit the cultural activities of Lebanon, the Student Council assists in ar- ranging a cultural series, featuring talented musical artists from throughout the South. The Student Council is an organizer and host of all social functions, such as open- houses, concerts, and dances. With the Stu- dent Christian Association, chapel programs are arranged and conducted. A donation to the John F. Kennedy Library was arranged by these two organizations during one chapel as- sembly. The Student Council is essential in coordinating all student activities. All other organizations operate around and are in some way dependent upon the Student Council. Its members are endowed with a great responsibility, both to the school and to their fellow students, which they most faithfully and conscientiously perform. Large- ly because of the Student Council, Cumber- land ' s horizon is constantly widening. Student Council Committee Chair- men: Dennis Ayers, Linda Brown, David Spendiff. 57 THE PHOENIX Editor-in-Chief, Som Kyle Staff Members: Seated; Maureen Sapp, Janice Carter, Joyce Rutledge, Som Kyle, Standing: Sandra Lewis, Betty Joyce Agee, Jane Smartt, Charles Zupp, Jimmy Tilley. Deep in the year, battle fatigue end di re cas- ualty overtook the yearbook staff. Ronn Hutton, appointed editor, fell by the wayside and girl-Friday Janice Carter and Sam Johnson succumbed soon after. While these were recuperating, life and the Phoenix had to go on. Starting with Winstead Bone ' s magnificent staff and remnants of the Old Guard, Sam Kyle and Joyce Rutledge, as joint business managers, had long been compiling ad-selling records — when they were sud- denly called to greater things. Kyle was elected Editor-in-Chief and Joyce Secretary-Business-Man- ager, with aides Jimmy Tilley as photographer and Charles Zupp as artist. Swiftly closing the ranks and lending a helping hand were special writers Sandra Lewis and student leader Bill Bassett, among many others. Not least of these was company representative Tom Wilkins, who stepped in with counsel and real work when the need was greatest. To Hunter Pub- lishing Company of Winston-Salem goes much credit for patience and help beyond the call of duty. 58 Getting out a paper is not an easy job, as the staff of the Collegian well knows. Many hours of hard work have been put into each issue as the Col- legian staff members diligently worked to record the year ' s outstanding news events. Several nights have found them pounding typewriters, writing head- lines, and worrying about making the deadline. Learning how to collect facts, write stories, and assemble pages was only a part of the job. Well- informed students depended on their Collegian staff to keep them informed on current events, the latest social trends, and the bristling activities of a busy school. THE COLLEGIAN Collegian Editor, Jackie Ryan Collegian Stoff Members: Frances Smith, Beverly Jakes, Janis Ojwdy, Bobbyette McCoy, Jackie Ryan, George Summers Jr., Lowenid Brown, Ann Baker, David Sanders, and Dewey Lombdin. 59 THE PHILOMATHEAN SOCIETY i W Philomatheans: Ann Baker, Bobbyette McCoy, Jimmy Anderson, Bill Bassett, Tommy Head, Grady Vanotta, Jackie Ryan, Mar- garet Young, Jane Smortt, Ruby Lynn Smith, Deloris Brown, Carl Jones, Jan Brown, Pat Hackney. The Philomathean Society seeks to recog- nize honor students who hove also actively participated in school and community affairs. A self-perpetuating organization, it encour- ages academic endeavor and promotes a greater degree of responsibility among the stu- dents of the College. Reorganized in 1964 under the leadership of President Grady Vanatta, the Society was originally founded in 1844 and chartered by the Tennessee Legislature on January 31, 1848. The Philomathean Society occasionally elects men to honorary membership who are prominent in the affairs of Tennessee and the nation. In the past, these have included Washington Irving, Senator John Breckin- ridge, President Millard Fillmore, Chief Jus- tice Roger B. Taney, Senator Charles Sumner, Senator Robert Tombs, Senator Alexander H. Stephens, and President Andrew Johnson. Nihil Sine Labore 60 THE STUDENT CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION The Student Christian Association is an organi- zation comprised of those students of the College who ore interested in the spiritual aspects and the spiritual solutions to those problems which we face each day. This post year the Student Christian Association was very active under the excellent leadership of President, Grady Vanatta; Vice-President, Jane Den- ton; and the Secretary-Treasurer, Ruby Lynn Smith. One of the goals of the organization was to provide good and wholesome group activities for the students. They were given responsibility for the recreational facilities in the new student center. One of the most important projects of the S.C.A. was their sponsorship of Religious Emphasis Week during Spring Quarter. Chapel was held each day dur- ing this special week. Important speakers appeared before the student body and discussed topics of cur- rent interest. Cumberland was the first college in America to be affiliated with the YMCA. Over the years the as- sociation has become on integral port of the life of the Cumberland student. The association, under the direction of Mr. Sparks and Miss Campbell, has at- tempted to reach the needs of each individual stu- dent. Twice each month Mr. Sparks spoke on one of the major problems of our time. Each Sunday morning an informal College Student Sunday School Class was held. During Spring Quarter the S.C.A. sponsored a breakfast for the sophomores. Through their various projects the association endeavored to instill an atmosphere of Christian fel- lowship among all the students at Cumberland. Seated: Ruby Lynn Smith, Jane Denton, and Miss Compbell. Standing: Judy Gill, Walteen Carter, Delores Brown, Betty Joyce Agee, Gwyn Edwards, Lowenid Brown. Second Row: Jane Smartt, Janice Carter, Joe Grandstoff, Ronn Hutton, Eva Carey, and Sue Jones. 61 PHI BETA LAMBDA President: Jan Brown Seated: Jane Smartt, Ruby Lynn Smith, Jon Brown, Margaret Young, Delores Brown.

The Cumberland College Phi Beta Lambda was chartered as the Zeta Omicron Chapter, and it was first recognized as Phi Beta Lambda three years ago. The group held regular meetings each month and planned their various aims and projects. Among their numerous goals was to create more and better un- derstanding in the business world. With the help of Mrs. Vanover, sponsor, the group planned and executed their projects during the year. One of the main events was a scavenger hunt which created much enthusiasm in the student body. The club had well-known business men os their guest speakers at meetings. A special medal will be given by the club to on outstanding club member at com- mencement exercises. For the second year, Jan Brown was the leader of this aggressive club. Strong support come from her cohorts — Jane Smartt, Debris Brown, Ruby Lynn Smith, Margaret Ann Young, and definitely Mrs. Vanover. Their efforts and guidance kept this organ- ization as smooth-running as possible. 62 Seated: David Spendiff, Mary Jones. Standing: Lowenid Brown, Beverly Jakes, Janice Dowdy, Dewey Lambdin, Maureen Sopp, Sue Jones. ARCHAEOLOGY CLUB The Cumberland College Archaeology Club had its debut this year under the superb guidance of Dean Dickinson. The organization carried out and executed many goals and projects. Lectures were given by noted archaeologists at the regular meetings. Numerous field trips were undertaken in the Wilson County area by these Cumberland students. Lo- cating and recording sites were the primary objectives. The group published every other month the Cumberland College Archaeology Council Newsletter in order that those who were interested in archaeology be informed on current develop- ments in this field. These searchers of the earth for artifacts, prehistoric caves, and other remnants of buried civilizations were indeed scholarly adventurers, who were still seeking the unknown, still pursuing the uncharted, with a passion that never quite ended. These amateur archaeologists never gave a thought to the idea of getting dirty while they were collecting artifacts. David Spendiff, president of the group, gave his assistance to Dean Dickinson. Further help came from the other of- ficers — Charles Zupp, Mary Jones, and John Whipple. The group strove to prove that archaeologists dug up, not things, but people — who lived in an earlier age and culture. President: David Spendiff 63 Board of Publications: Jackie Ryan, Editor Collegian; Dean Dickinson, Academic Deon; Ronn Hut- ton, Phoenix Editor; Thomas F. Harris, Publications Chairman; Robert H. Stone, Collegian Spon- sor; Dean Brown, Dean of Students; Dr. McDavid, Professor of Humanities. THE COLLEGE BOARD OF PUBLICATIONS All student-inspired and official organs of publicity operate under the supervi- sion of a Board of Publi- cations consisting of the deans, the admissions of- ficer, the assistant to the president, a faculty repre- sentative, a faculty spon- sor, and an editor-in-chief for the college year book. The Phoenix, and a stu- dent editor for the Colle- gian newspaper. This year illness forced the retirement of Phoenix editor Ronn Hutton, who was replaced by business manager Sam Kyle. Jackie Ryan served as editor of the Collegian. Mr. Stone sponsored the Collegian and Commander Harris the Phoenix. Dean Dick- inson, Dean Brown, Dr. McDavid, and Mrs. Baird (absent from picture) com- prised the board this year. The Cumberland Wom- en ' s Club is an organiza- tion of faculty and admin- istration women and wives and wives of local board members. Their regular meetings were spiced with interesting and dynamic programs. During the year, they planned and carried out helpful projects. The women of the club also served in helpful capaci- ties at all college social functions. Heading the list of officers for this year were Mrs. Ahles, Presi- dent; Mrs. Baird, 1st Vice- President; and Mrs. Van- over, Secretary-Treasurer.

The members of this club energetically and noisily supported the team, both at home and on the road. Signs and decorations for the gymnasium and transportation for away games were provided by the Pep Club. The Pep Club, sitting in a reserved section of the bleachers, backed the squad to the hilt throughout the season. President Walteen Carter did an effective job with the able assistance of Sharon Timbs. BULLDOG BOOSTERS Alumni Banquet The Bulldog Boosters are a group of Lebanon busi- nessmen and civic leaders who take an active inter- est in Cumberland. At reg- ular dinner meetings held in the J. B, Michael Stu- dent Center, the mem- bers formulated plans for strengthening and increas- ing interest in the Bulldogs and heard guest speakers like Jack Green, football coach at Vanderbilt Uni- versity. Richard Brodhead did on excellent job of leading the Boosters after the untimely death of Dr. Frank Baddour.

All of Miss Witt ' s charm and vivacious- ness cannot be captured in a few photographs. Her twinkling eyes seem to talk, while her dimples give an accent of her hypnotic smile. Anne is a true example of Tennessee ' s South- ern Belles with her natural beauty and har- mony and is an asset of loveliness to any col- lege campus. Being a judge of many contests such as Miss Williamson County 1963, Queen of Hearts 1963, Miss East High School 1964, and Miss DeKalk County 1964, Betty Jo Welch — Mrs. Tennessee of 1962 — was ex- cellently qualified to judge the contest. As we can all see, Mrs. Welch mode a most love- ly choice for AAiss Phoenix of 1965.

Whenever or wherever that extra added zip was desperately needed, the girls were Johnnys-on-the-spot. Peggy Cooper from Auburn, Kentucky, was se- lected head knocker by the girls on the cheer- leading squad. During the early fall, the student body elected cheerleaders from the freshmen and sophomore classes. Besides Peggy Cooper, Linda Brown, Beverly Jakes, and Janie Munro were also chosen. Working closely with the Pep Club, rallies were arranged and led by these girls. Often before important gomes, the cheerleaders would lead the assembled students in a rousing yell. Neither rain nor sleet nor snow could keep these girls from their appointed rounds. Both on the rood and at home in the Bulldogs ' Domain the cheerleaders created a fervid enthusiasm among the fanatic Cumberland fans and the loyal student body. 88 Hjyi ' , ? - w| ffS ur dl vR S HH I H HMMi .

Harris, the tennis squad promises to make Cumber- land ' s re-entry into intercollegiate tennis circles a mem- orable one. Matches have been scheduled with Martin, Hiwassee, Freed-Hardeman, and other Dixie Confer- ence teams. Thirty years ago, Cumberland was the tennis pow- erhouse of the South. These great teams were coached by Professor Graves Thompson and had many indi- vidual stars including Dr. Ernest L. Stockton, Col. Lind- sey Donnell, and Wm. Kerr Bassett. Although this year ' s edition is no powerhouse, it has unusual potential for a team lacking in tourna- ment experience. Damon Beard, Bill Bassett, John Ben Cowley, and Brown Hawley are the tournament-tested players on the teem. Mac McCann, Gerald Poole, Tony Taylor, and Charles Robinette lack experience, but certainly possess the ability and have the essential de- sire. At the beginning of the Spring Quarter, formal practices were organized and a ladder was begun to determine each player ' s ranking. Being the first ten- nis team fielded in many years, the squad looks for- ward to an exciting and profitable season. TENNIS It ' s a lot more fun when you have a tennis ball 98 The 1 964 team was headed by Bruce Skeen who led in hits, runs, runs-batted-in, homers, and bases on bolls. Dennis Snyder followed leading with times at bat, singles, doubles, triples, and stolen bases. Wayne Bollard was the leading pitcher with five wins and two losses. He was assisted by Tommy Head, Pete Heodrick, and Bill Stevens. The team, under the direction of Coach Van Washer, was able to meet many challeng- ing opponents, and the season was a source of great enjoyment to faculty, students, and players.

Bruce, who is from Lebanon, was o freshman at that time. The award was based on his overall baseball playing ability. During the regular season he led the team with 20 hits, 18 runs, 21 runs-batted-in, 9 homers, and a final batting average of .377. 99 James Thomas Head Rt. 2, Clarksville, Tennessee Edward Eugene (Bud) Mayfield Rt. 1, Franklin, Tennessee Alan Richard Amburn Foch Street, Maryville, Tennessee Mork Riggins West Cedar Street, Franklin, Kentucky When Winter slowly melted into Spring, most of Cumberland ' s young men ' s thoughts turned to America ' s traditional sport, base- ball. As warm weather invaded the campus, the practice fields were soon filled with the shouts of the boys at practice. As the season progressed, the training and practice became more intense and more vig- orous. As in the usual course of events, sev- eral of the aspiring ballplayers were elimi- nat ed after putting forth a good effort. By the time the first game rolled around, the team rounded well into shape. Many of the key positions were filled with seasoned ball- players like pitcher Tommy Head, catcher Charles Kolbe, and short-stop Bruce Skeen.

Ed. courses offered this year was bowling. Each Wednesday afternoon found the bowling alley overflowing with Cumberland stu- dents. Besides the Phys. Ed. credit that the students received was the pure enjoyment of the game and the excitement of com- petition. As the quarter progressed, the compe- tition grew keener as the various team members began to show audible signs of improvement. By the end of the Fall Quar- ter, the results were as follows: In the Boys ' Division — Individual High Series, Tommy Jefferies with a 360; Individual High Game, Ronnie Jones with a 21 5; and in Team Standings, Team 2 placed first with 1 7V2 wins and 51 2 losses. There were eight teams competing in all. In the Girls ' Division — Individual High Series, Jessica Loftis with a 290; Individual High Game, Lowenid Brown with a 181; and in Team Standings, Team 2 placed first with 19 wins and 4 losses. There were also eight teams competing in the girls ' division. Both Jessica ' s and Larry ' s expressions are quite visible signs of the pleasure and enjoyment that most of the students get from bowling. And who can blame them for smiling, with all those strikes? Just the right touch 102 The Faerie Queene presides over Court Is it o hold-up or a toss-up? In the midst of the excitement of the game, some of the girls got so carried away they jumped for c ball that was not even there. The boys ' games always started quietly enough, but they usually ended in a free-for-all scramble for the ball. It was at times like this that Coach Washer had to step in and take over. By the end of the quarter some of these amateur players were able to give the varsity players a pret- ty good game. BASKETBALL Basketball was perhaps the most highly emphasized sport of the Fall Quarter Phy- sical Education program. Many of the afternoons and evenings of the winter months found the gym full of students en- gaged in some rather wild games of bas- ketball. At times, except for the use of a basketball, there was little resemblance be- tween these games and the actual varsity games. Along with all the sweating brows and strained muscles, there were moments of triumph when at long last the ball slipped quickly through the net to score those precious two points. What ' s up, Doc? Brenda hooks one Quarterback pitches out to fullback Mills FLAG FOOTBALL Each fall several of the boys team up to participate in flag football. Both the two o ' clock and the three o ' clock Phys. Ed. classes had enough boys to form four teams in each class. These teams competed against each other for the entire quarter. In the two o ' clock class, Team I placed first with 6 wins, 1 loss, and 2 ties. Jim Scott led in individual scoring with a total of 54 points. He was followed closely by Pat Hack- SOFTBALL During Spring Quarter each year. Coach Van Washer adds a little variety to the Phys. Ed. program by offering outdoor activities such as Softball. This is a sport which can be enjoyed by the girls as well as the boys. It looks as though Harold has set his mind Fastest Wells follows blockers on power sweep ney, who had 48 points. Jim and Pat tied for the lead in touchdown passes, both having a total number of 7. In the three o ' clock class, Team I also placed first with 6 wins, no losses, and 3 ties. Larry East and Kent Robinson tied for the lead in individual scoring, both having 36 points to their credit. Jerry Griswold led in touchdown passes with a total of 9. Man on a homer, but Ronnie doesn ' t seem to see things that way. Jerry doesn ' t seem to see things that way either, judging from the way he has his hands extended ready to tag Har- old out. In the World 104 TUMBLING One of the favorite Phys. Ed. classes of- fered during Winter Quarter was tumbling. Coach Van Washer taught his students such things as forward rolls, backward rolls, dive rolls, cartwheels, monkey rolls, flips, head- stands, and pyramid building. Several of the boys have been thinking about joining Ringling Brothers Circus. Phil seems to think that their Pyramid Act is ready for the center ring, but Mickey doesn ' t seem to be so sure. Bobby seems to be all up in the air about something, but on the other had Darrell seems to look a little bored. Ronnie enjoys diving over the other boys, but Larry seems to be a little uneasy about the whole thing. 105 Cha Cho Brown DANCING The Merry Dancers This year, for the first time, ballroom dancing was offered as a P.E. course. Under the very capable guidance of Dean and Mrs. Brown about forty students began to learn such things as the basic waltz and the various steps of the fox trot. Also included in the course were such steps as the Sneak, the Con- tinental, and the Conversation. For a little variety, Mrs. Brown added such dances as the Tango, the Cha-Cha, and the Rhumba. Although one encountered such things as sore feet, tired arms, and aching backs, they were quickly forgotten amidst the joy of mas- tering a new step or turn. This was one class where each day truly brought something new. Mrs, Brown, herself an Arthur Murray Gold Medalist, looks as though she was en- joying the class just as much as the students. The Basic ' Foncy Dan The Gjmplicated Conversa- tion ■■ I :mM :., .-. m Lowenid watches camera as Mary serves Ladies always show good sportsmanship TENNIS Little Stevie Wonder flys again As Spring came roaring in like a lion, the annual searching and digging into closets and trunks began. The object of these searches — those old tennis rackets, which with a few minor repairs were all ready for a new season. By following instruc- tions carefully, many of the beginners were able to make re- markable progress. Before the end of the quarter, rackets were swinging and bolls were flying with deadly accuracy. It is not hard to tell that Lowenid and Mary won their game judging by the smiles on their faces. VOLLEYBALL As those cold winter days got colder, the heat of excite- ment within the gym grew more intense. The reason — why, those fast-moving vol- leyball games, of course. From the first time the ball crossed the net, until the end of the game, the gym was filled with excited shouts of the players and the resound- ing thump of several pairs of tennis shoes as they moved quickly along the hardwood floor. This was one game in which the students certainly hod to be alert. 107 Butler spikes BADMINTON Badminton is another indoor sport that is greatly enjoyed during the cold winter months. Fred must find it hard to keep his eye on the birdie since it passes back and forth over the net with such great speed. PING PONG With the addition of the new student center, ping-pong has become one of the favorite indoor sports. It is a very rare day when you can go in and not find at least one of the tables in use. During Spring Quarter a Ping-Pong Tournament is held in which Cumber- land ' s champion ping-pong players are able to exhibit their talents. It looks as though Jimmy and Eva are planning to take top honors this year. CROQUET After the first spring thaw when the ground was firm beneath the feet once again, many of the students migrated to the open fields to play croquet. Gwyn, Mary, and Janice were among the first to grab their mallets. TRACK Each year Cumberland ' s students par- ticipate in field-day events. Included are such things as the 880-yard dash, 100- yard dash, 440-yard dash, 220-yard dash, broad jumping, softball throw, shot put, and high jumping. The 1964 individual honors went to Wayne Ballard, who placed 1st in five out of six events with a total of 27 4 points. Tommy Head led the fresh- men in the 880-yard dash, the mile relay, the high jump, and in the shot put. The boys put on a fine exhibition of skill which was thoroughly enjoyed byall those present. Bill, Gerald, Mac, and Charles have been getting in shape for this year ' s events. ARCHERY The sport of kings-and-queens flour- ished in the spring and the fall when Coach Van Washer came out with an armful of arrows and long English bows. Connie and Jane are taking perfect aim for another one of those bull ' s-eyes. H .ffSj SifSs. 1 HORSESHOES On almost any spring afternoon, you can hear the familiar sound of metal striking metal. This sound arises from metal horseshoes striking metal poles. Horseshoes is probably one of the games enjoyed most by the students at Cumber- land. Harold looks as though he is taking aim for another perfect ringer. 109 If High School Bond regales Collegians Now . . . Your Two Left Feet .

Cumberland this year observed this ancient rite. The boys ' dorm was clandestinely attacked in advance, and threat- ening notes were placed in vari- ous mail boxes by various female zealots. On this day everything was given a bit of the pastoral. The mien of the students was one of unemployed country sing- ers. Even the most dignified members of our austere faculty donned rustic garb, and some brandished tree limbs. The stu- dents also appeared in various costumes of country dress. 150 Perhaps the highlight of the en- tire affair was the official, au- thorized, legal, supervised chase of the men-folk by the women- folk. Seconds after the first step was taken, young men could be seen hanging precariously in trees, attempting to scale sheer brick walls, and burrowing into the earth. Those who were cap- tured, or at least in some way subdued, became the escorts of their captors at that evening ' s dance. The Virginia Reel was reeled, the square dance was danced, and through it all, the gentle vapors from Ki-Ka-Poo- Joy-Juize slowly corroded the rafters of the gym. HALLOWEEN 1 gea r K ' upf V lfcP 152 Local townsmen looked up in amazement when they saw the Great Pumpkin fly over with his little helpers — all of them carry- ing an offering of hoy or pump- kins to the coming festival at Cumberland. Once the raw ma- terials were assembled, they were quickly changed into ap- propriate appointments for the gymposium. The basement of the gym was converted into a dun- geon which would have delighted Bela Lugosi. Those who braved these depths witnessed various horrors including a rather pain- ful operation, a somewhat dubi- ously dead body, a headless man. and the keeper of this head, not to mention a jolly, plump hunch- back. The Phoenix Staff photog- rapher was on hand to capture some of those oddities on film. The dance entrance, a tunnel of hoy bales, sponsored a degree of togetherness, to say the least. Those who made it to the end of the tunnel found themselves in the midst of long-tailed little dev- ils, beatniks, and water-fights. It was a bacchanal truly worthy of the Great Pumpkin, only through whose beneficence could the whole affair have been possible. 153 P R fl Hi HH ri -- •• ' ♦ '  1 « i rtd 154 Main Hall of J. B.

In this year ' s Phoenix, I have tried to present the pleasant faces and phases of Cumberland during the 1964-65 academic year. If I have accom- plished this, it is because of the Cumberland students who have so willingly lended their time and energy. To Wm. Basseft, goes my sincere grati- tude for his many write-ups and proof- readings. Special thanks go to: Jimmy Tilley, our photographer who has done an excellent job of supplying the neces- sary pictures. Sandra Lewis, for the many long hours she has spent on writing and typing to meet our last deadline. Charles Zupp, who did a superb job on art work and lay-outs. Joyce Rut-ledge, for her persistent work as Business Manager and her contributions in preparing the text for the final deadline. Ann Baker, for a job well done on writing up various student organizations. Eva Corey, for a marvelous job of basket- ball coverage. Janice Carter, who spent many hours working on the lay-outs of various sections. Moureen Sopp, for her assistance with the photography and the typing. Betty Joyce Agee, for her help with the Beauty Section. Our special thanks is extended to Neol Blackburn of Blackburn ' s Studio for his pa- tience with the editor and for his excellent photography. To Commander Harris — our patient, un- derstanding, and cooperative sponsor — there are no words to express my gratitude to him. To Tom Wilkins and the Hunter Publish- ing Company for their support and assistance in solving the many problems encountered during the year. To the Businesses of Lebanon and Middle Tennessee who have so kindly and vigorously made this book possible by their placing of advertisements. To the Board of Publications for giving me the privilege of editing the 1965 Phoenix.
