Before long, however, we fell into the routine of things, and time passed more quickly. It hardly seemed as though we had gotten started before those first dreaded finals rolled around. Christmas holidays came and went, and classes resumed once more. Ball games, parties, tests, club meetings, homework, pep rallies, research papers, dances — we were soon caught up in an endless whirl of activity. Then suddenly everything came to an abrupt halt. Graduation was here, and another year of school was over. All we had left were memories. We the Plioenix Staff of 1966 have endeavored to present the activities and events of the past year in such a way that each of you will be able to stop and remember and call back yesterday.

Since 1951, the college has been controlled by a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees whose membership is comprised of distin- guished business, educational, professional, and civic leaders. The Board of Trustees elect the President of Cumberland, and upon the nomination by the President, appoint the faculty and staff members of the college. The relationship among the controlling Board and the administration and faculty is marked by unity of purpose and consistent cooperation.

Stockton, Jr., President of the College; David Sanders, Student Council Vice-President; Sandra Lewis, Phoenix Editor, Student Council Secretary; Brenda Grigg, President ot Bone Hall. Standing — Jim Farley, Student Christian Association President; Marjorie Loyd, Scholars and Adventurers President; Mickey Meguiar, Sophomore Class President; Eva Carey, Young Democrats President; Lloyd Brown, Freshman Class President; Billie Jean Allen, Pep Club President; Maureen Allison, Math Club President. The President ' s Round Table is an organi- zation wliose membership is composed of the Presidents of the various campus organi- zations, the editors of the student publica- tions, the Student Council officers, and Pres- ident Stockton. The Round Table met in the K-Room at least once each month. Each meeting was preceded by a delicious meal. The Round Table meetings presented ex- cellent opportunities for each club to voice its opinion on various aspects of campus life. One of the major projects of the Round Table was Wilson County Day which was a tremen- dous success. The prime objective of this year ' s Round Table was to unite and inte- grate the various campus activities into a well functioning whole. Before each meeting, the group enjoyed eating together and discussing current events. 60 PHILOMATHIANS Philomathian Officers: Linda Brown, Secretary- Treasurer; Mark Riggins, President; Mickey Me- guiar, Vice-President. The Philomathians spent many interesting hours at the observatory learning how to operate the various telescopes. The Philomathian Society is an organiza- tion which seeks to recognize those students who have been outstanding in the fields of both scholarship and leadership. It is a self- perpetuating organization that endeavors to promote academic excellence and encour- ages the acceptance of a greater degree of responsibility among the students of the col- lege. The Society was originally founded in 1844. It was later chartered by the Tennessee Legislature on January 31, 1848. The present Society was reorganized on campus in 1964. The club made great prog- ress this year under the leadership of Mark Riggins, President; Mickey Meguiar, Vice- President; Linda Brown, Secretary; and Com- mander Harris, Sponsor. The Society ' s main project for this year was the increased use of Rice Observatory. The various pieces of equipment were stud- ied as well as the many pictures and charts of the heavenly bodies. Philomathian Members: Sandra Lewis, David Sanders, Steve Willis, Linda Brown, Mark Riggins — President, Tommy Woodward, Mickey Meguiar. 61 STUDENT COUNCIL student Council Members: Seated — Liz Jennings, Ronnie Clem- mons, Frestiman Class Representatives; Sandra Lewis, Secre- tary-Treasurer; Jim Farley, Sophomore Class Representative; David Sanders, Vice-President; Linda Silvey, Bone Hall Repre- sentative. Standing — Bill Edwards, Commuters Representative; Steve Willis, President; Janis Dowdy, Sophomore Class Repre- sentative. The Cumberland College Student Coun- cil was des igned to represent the entire stu- dent body in the governing of the College, to enable the students to enjoy campus life to the fullest extent, and to assist the students in getting the most from their college edu- cation. This year the Student Council has really made its presence felt. Many summer nights found the officers in conference with various members of the faculty planning activities for the coming school year. One of the main pro- jects was Freshman Orientation Week. This year a group of outstanding sophomores were selected to be on the Orientation Cabinet. They assisted with such events as th Freshman Picnic, Freshman Registration, and small group conferences in which the rules and regulations of the school were ex- plained. A Hootenanny and a combo dance Steve Willis gives David Sanders a helping hand as they launch the soap drive sponsored by the Student Council. 62 student Council members enjoy a minute of relaxation during the Sadie Hawkins Day festivities. were also sponsored by the Student Council to allow the students to get to know each other. As the year progressed, the Student Council became more effective and more efficient. Some of the many goals which the Council attained were the procurement of a newspaper stand for the Student Center, campus beautification projects, regular bookstore hours, a posted Calendar of Events, posted minutes of each Student Council meeting, a more homelike atmos- phere in both Justin Potter Hall and in Bone Hall, a more liberal cut system for superior students, and more social events. The Student Council sponsored a Car Smash in the latter part of fall quarter as a money-making project. It was thoroughly en- joyed by all who participated and netted over $28.00. Another project, which was held dur- ing winter quarter, was a Soap Drive for the benefit of the soldiers in Viet-Nam. The drive was climaxed by a house-to- house canvass which was held when the snow was still knee deep. The total count of soap was close to 1500 bars which was the original goal. The Student Council is the hub of all the other organizations on campus. Its mem- bers have a great responsibility, both to the student body and to the college. By faithfully and consciously fulfilling these responsibili- ties, the Student Council has taken its right- ful place as a most vital part of our school. student Council Officers: Steve Willis, President; Sandra Lewis, Secretary; David Sanders, Vice-President. 63 The Company of Scholars and Adventurers; David Spendiff, Margaret Marler, Deane Henderson, Terry Jenkins, Julian Cooksey, Marjorle Loyd — President, Ransom Hobdy, Damon Beard, Jim Huddleston, Peggy Cooper, Patrick Flynn. COMPANY OF SCHOLARS AND ADVENTURERS One of the many projects of this year ' s club Viras blazing a trail through part of the untraveled section of the Cedar Forest. The Company was formally introduced at Cumberland College in 1962 by Dean Dickin- son and a small group of interested stu- dents. The main purpose then was and con- tinues to be taking intelligent students and allowing them to conceive and carry out ad- ventures of the mind as well as of the body, whether it be climbing Jenning ' s Knob in the snow, blazing trails at Cedar Forest State Park, discussing present-day philosophies and politics, or initiating a Foreign Film Series at the College. The membership is kept at a selective minimum in order to allow the individual to participate actively in expressing opinions and ideas. There are no dues, and the social activities are included in the various proj- ects. The company provides an effective out- let for the drives and interests of students who wish to contribute more to their edu- cation than that which is contained in the class room. 64 YOUNG DEMOCRATS The Young Democrats Club, one of the newer organizations on our campus, was organized just last year. This year they were successful in accomplishing their goal — to stimulate more interest in poli- tics in general and the Democratic party in particular. The Young Democrats had various prominent speakers at each of their monthly meetings. One of their main projects was partici- pating in the Democratic convention. The club ' s officers attended an Executive Conference at the Hermitage Hotel and later the dinner at which Vice-President Hubert H. Humphrey was the main guest speaker. This year ' s officers were: Eva Carey, President; Julian Cooksey, Vice-Presi- dent; Marjorie Loyd, Secretary; Betty Staggers, Treasurer; and Miss Carolyn Allred, their sponsor. Young Democrats: Seated — Bill McCrary, Marjorie Loyd, Julian Cooksey, Sandra Lewis, Betty Staggers, Don Graham, Sharon Timbs. Standing — Eva Carey — President, Randall Hill, Deane Henderson, Pembroke Pettit, Tom Smith, Anita Hester, Billie Jean Allen, Carol Spurling, YOUNG REPUBLICANS The Young Republicans were a group of college students interested in our government. Their main purpose was not concerned with only the promotion of their party on campus, but rather with creating interest in all phases of our government. They strove to encourage all students to realize and accept their re- sponsibilities to their student government as well as city, state, and national political institutions. Young Republicans: Annette Gann, Tom Bond, Deane Henderson, Don Graham, Charles Smith, Barney Gann, Barbara East. 65 in i I hf n Lfiw n .i!i:iM 0 il HH 1 kUMm flr Uj j f ilHIL ' JDT ' - ■C BLj M di r ' ■l P i SMQR r. ii B __ -; __ tfl mI ' ' ' I ■ IM ■ ; ] ■ H ■ in Seated: Carol Spurling, Sharon Timbs, Emily Rutherford, Betty Staggers, Maureen Allison, Nancy Hailey.

Anyone who has ever worked with lay- outs, captions, headings, copy, pictures, and advertising will realize how tremendous the task of producing a college yearbook really is. Much time and thought had to be given to each Individual page. Finding the right picture to express the wanted feeling and making the write-up help convey that feeling was quite a job. As Fall Quarter started, work began in earnest. Sandra Lewis was chosen as Editor- in-Chief, and Nancy Hailey was chosen as Assistant Editor. Soon afterwards the other staff members were selected. Then the var- ious appointments were made. The Business staff quickly came to life. Many fall after- noons were spent industriously as staff mem- bers canvassed the town selling advertise- ments. After much deliberation it was agreed that Hunter Publishing Company of Winston- Salem, North Carolina, would have the publishing contract for this year. 66 Terry Morre, Photographer; Margaret Ivy Smith, Organi- zation Staff; Paul Biel, Organization Staff; John Whipple, Artist. ag § n 1 K ' ' P ri i JA L ' f ' S| V ' - ' ' il j W -.- - ' m y Seated: Sharon Timbs, Typist; Ennily Rutherford, Business Manager. Standing: Ronnie Wicker, Har- ry Freeman, Business Staff. The next several months found the staff writing and re-writing copy, editing pictures, and trying to meet deadlines. Moving into new quarters, extra homework, and snow storms ail combined to delay work. Classes were missed, reports went undone, and meet- ings went unattended, yet the book took shape and finally was completed. Every student has his own ideas as to what a yearbook should be and what it should contain. It would be impossible for us to satisfy everyone. For that reason we have attempted to present the activities and events of the past year in such a way that they will be representative of Cumberland 1966. Jim Farley, Maureen Allison, Larry Jordan, Sports Staff. Betty Staggers, Carol Spurling, Julian Cooksey, Features Staff. COLLEGIAN Only the staff would know how many hours of hard work go into each edition of the Collegian. Receiving no reward other than self-satisfaction, staff members work enthusiastically toward improving each issue. Ordinarily a bi-quarterly publication, the Collegian this year has been reduced in size and presented tri-quarterly in order to give students and circulation readers an accurate and timely account o f news, features, and social happenings. Janis Dowdy, Collegian Editor. Collegian Stall: Lynda Miller, Nancy Hailey, Jim Webb, Janis Dowdy— Editor, Paul Biel, Gwyn Edwards, Patrick Flynn, Eva Carey, David Sanders, Maureen Allison, Harry Freeman. 68 Jim Webb, Lynda Miller, and David Sanders eagerly await the first paper as it comes off the press. The Collegian writers tried to print an un- biased college paper and at the same time exercise the right of freedom of press. They were not professionals, but they worked earnestly with one goal in mind — that Cumberland would be proud of her Collegian. The members of this year ' s staff were: Janis Dowdy, Editor; Gwyn Edwards and Eva Carey, Associate Editors; David Sanders, Business Manager; Paul Biel, Margaret Mar- ler, Nancy Hailey, Marjorie Loyd, Business Staff; Patrick Flynn, Darlene McCoy, Liz Jen- nings, Maureen Allison, Harry Freeman, Fea- ture Staff; Peggy Cooper, Feature Editor; Gary Carter, Jim Webb, Sports Editors; Lynda Miller, Organization Editor; Billie Jean Allen, Library News. Under the able supervision of Mr. George Summers, Nancy Hailey and Janis Dowdy learn the principles of setting up type. 69 STUDENT CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION SCA Members: Row 1 — Sharon Timbs, Scherland Hobbs, Carolyn Estes, Sandra Lewis, Gwyn Edwards, Eva Carey. Row 2 — -loyd Brown, Linda Oldliam, Annette Gann, Jim Farley, President. Row 3 — Pete Headricl , Gary Robinson, Bill Edwards, Patrick Flynn, Robert Roy. The Student Christian As- sociation under the able leadership of President Jim Farley, Vice-President Gwyn Edwards, and Secretary- Treasurer Ann Smith, got underway early in the Fall Quarter. The first project of the Stu- dent Christian Association was a Coffee and Conver- sation discussion group held each Sunday of the Fall Quarter. The purpose of this discussion group was to en- lighten all who attended on such subjects as Religion and the College Student; Playboy Mentalities, and Censorship. It was also hop- ed that this Sunday meeting would encourage students to attend church afterwards. One of the main projects of the Student Christian As- sociation was taking care of the devotions each Monday in Chapel. SCA Officers; Scfierl and Hobbs, Secretary-Treasurer; Jim Far- ley, President; Gwyn Edwards, Vice-President.

With the capable assistance of Ron Richardson of the First Baptist Church, the BSU was born, and started what is hoped will be another Cum- berland tradition. Under the never-failing leadership of President Mark Riggins and advisor, Mrs. Sidney Berry, the remaining officers — Tom- my Woodward, Scherland Hobbs, Carol Spurling, Betty Rains, and Emily Rutherford — fell willingly to their respective duties. One of the highlights of the year was the greatly-welcomed visit from a group of Vanderbilt BSU members. Later in the Spring Quarter, the Cumberland BSU returned the visit and thus brought to an end the first year of the new Cumberland BSU.

CHOIR The Cumberland College Choir, under the direction of Mrs. John Sellars, was greatly altered during the past year. In the fall, the choir had approximately sixty memlaers. Then with the new registration procedures, the number was reduced to forty. This called for auditions to determine who were the most musically minded in the student body. When the auditions were finished, Mrs. Sellars found herself with an almost entirely different group. Throughout the year, they practiced sight reading and harmony. The choir presented several songs in assembly during the year. Soloists were Tommy Brown, Joe Williams, Patsy Sl een, and Betty Stag- gers. Pianist was Nancy Hailey. A special group was formed containing fifteen members. They sang in several chapel programs and performed The Sound of Music for the Kiwanis Minstrel.

This was not the view of the Cumberland Players. Each member did the part that suited him best. The main phase emphasized by the Players was being and feel- ing each part. Two plays were presented during the year under the able directorship of John Whipple, who also served as President of the group. Other officers were Marjorie Loyd, Vice-President; and Maureen Allison, Secretary-Treasurer. The advisor was Dean Dickinson. The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams was pre- sented Fall Quarter with John Whipple, Eva Carey, Anita Hester, and Henry Mur- ray in the starring roles.

The Collegian, the college newspaper, a new catalog of studies, and a new picture- folder brochure depicting col- lege life in the new milieu that greeted us this year. Student editors and staffs, when selected, were also added to the Board. This year Miss Sandra Lewis, editor-in-chief of The Phoneix, and Miss Janis Dowdy, editor-in-chief of The Collegian, completed the Board ' s membership. 75 PEP CLUB Pep Club in action. Bonfires sponsored by the Pep Club helped to bolster school spirit. An athletic team is little without a coach and neither of these can display their talents and abilities unless someone sup- ports them. This is the purpose of the Pep Club, to support the team from the begin- ning of the season to the end of the season. Whenever a sign was needed, or deco- rations for a game were needed, so was the Pep Club. This year the Pep Club furnished a bus to Martin College and Hiwassee College for the tournaments. The leaders of the Pep Club this year were Billie Jean Allen, President; Larry Wetzel, Vice-President; Peggy Cooper, Secretary-Treasurer; and Linda Silvey, reporter. With banners waving, megaphones up- lifted, and tonsils in condition, the Pep Club, seated together for better broad- cast, boosted the Bulldogs onward from the moment they first came on the floor to warm up, until the last seconds. Whether the Bulldogs were twenty or two points ahead, or trailing behind the other team, the Pep Club was behind them all the way. 76 CUMBERLAND WOMEN ' S CLUB The Cumberland Woman ' s Club was or- ganized in February, 1924. Its membership is composed of the wives of the members of the faculty and administration, the wives of the local trustees, women members of the facul- ty, and all women connected with the Col- lege. Its purpose it to promote all interests of the College. A worthy school project is sponsored by this Club each year. Among the projects sponsored since its inception, this club has given a scholarship for a worthy student, furnished and redecorated rooms in the dormitories, given several volumes of books to Mitchell Library, and in many other ways have contributed to the program of Cumberland College.

CHEERLEADERS Tile ciieerleaders stril e a pose. GO — FIGHT — WIN ... The 1965- 66 Cumberland Bulldogs could certainly count on the support of the spectators due to the consistent cheers led by this years capable cheerleaders. Terry Jenkins from Nashville, Tennes- see was selected captain of the cheer- leaders. Backing her up were Linda Brown, Portland, Tennessee; Linda Mil- ler, Old Hickory, Tennessee; Sherry Krantz, Old Hickory, Tennessee; Liz Jen- nings, Goodlettsville, Tennessee, and Susan Lowber, Gallatin, Tennessee. The girls were chosen from the Freshman and Sophomore classes early in the Fall quarter. The new cheerleaders met regularly under the direction of Betty Washer to practice and to learn the new cheers. The main job of the cheerleaders was to raise the spirit of the spectators and this was certainly accompished at the home games as well as at the away games. 96 Anxious score watchers. Various pep rallies and snake dances were held each week before home ball- games. They proved to be a very effective means for rousing school spirit. The girls worked hard this year and saw their dream come true when they were al- lowed to accompany the Bulldog team to the National Junior College Tournament at Hutchinson, Kansas. This ended a great season which had been filled with triumph and victory as well as heartache and disap- pointment. Centers of attention.

Posting a 17-9 season record, ference in a four-way tie with Martin, F;reed-Hardman, Cumberland again finished second in the Dixie Con- and Snead. Although they suffered heart-breaking losses, the Bulldogs afforded fans many exciting moments. The Bulldogs took the back seat during most of the season but with a fighting spirit won nine of their last eleven games with impressive wins over Freed- Hardeman and Snead. The Bulldogs showed the true form of a champion- ship team, a form which would lead them to become champions of Region VII. By winning this tournament, the Bulldogs earnoa a berth in the National Junior College Tournaments in Hutchinson, Kansas. Cumberland represented teams from four states including Tennessee, Arkan- sas, Alabama, and Mississippi. Cumberland was the first Tennessee team to compete in the NJCAA. This final effort is a tribute to each player and to the fine coaching of Van Washer, who led them to become the ninth ranked junior college team in the United States. Biggins set for rebound against Snead. Roy Williams tries for two against Hutchinson Jr. College in NJCAA quarter-finals. 100 Southern Union vs. Cumberland College (Nov. 17) Cumberland opened its basketball season at home against the Southern Union Bisons.

Martin College vs. Cumberland College (Dec. 9) The Indians of Martin came to the Bulldog domain as opponents on Appreciation Night. Before a ca- pacity crowd, the Bulldogs proved they were a con- tender in the Dixie Conference. With the game tied most of the way, Cumberland ' s Pete Headrick with 18 points including 2 easy lay-ups proved to be too much for the Indians. Cumberland won 61-56. Pile with 14 points and 19 rebounds, and Brooks with 7 points and 13 rebounds controlled the backboards. 101 Middle Tennessee (freshmen) vs. Cumberland (Jan. 6) At home again, the Bulldogs won over a well- coached Middle Tennessee Freshmen ball squad. Middle Tennessee was not playing capably, so Cum- berland used these advantages for an 88-71 victory.

Brooks with 19 rebounds and Headrick with 13 led in that department.

Alabama Christian vs. Cumberland College (Feb. 12) Still on the road, the following night, the tired Cumberland Bulldogs suffered a heart-breaking 1 point defeat by Alabama Christian in an over time. The regulation game ended 82-82 and in the over time Cumberland was out scored 6-5 for an 88-87 victory for the Eagles of Alabama Christian. Even though Riggins came through with 19 points and Brooks with 13, the playing of Ed Rayburn, with 38 points was too much for the Bulldogs. By losing the battle on the boards, Cumberland subsequently lost its chance to win 3 straight road games. 104 Hiwassee vs. Cumberland College (Feb. 17) With a chance to seek revenge, the Bulldogs were chopped down by Bobby Ferguson, who led the Tigers with 31 points. Even though Cumberland led 40-38 at half-time, the Tigers managed easy buckets in the closing seconds to defeat Cumberland 79-75. Riggins with 19 points led the Cumberland scores.

REGION VII TOURNAMENT (March 1-5) Cumberland, seeded 7th in this Region VII tourna- ment, drew Marion Institute, with whom we had split games during the season. Playing suprisingly heads- up ball, Cumberland disposed of M. I. by a score of 101-84. Cumberland put three men in high double figures: Pile, Kirkpatrick and Brooks each scored 22 points. Other starters, Riggins and Williams, popped in 12 and 11 points respectively. Cumberland con- trolled the boards with a total of 50 rebounds. Cum- berland shot a fantastic 100 per cent from the foul line hitting 16 out of 16. Be defeating M. I., the Bulldogs advanced to the quarterfinals to meet the second seeded team, Perkinston College of Mississippi. Perkinston, being the 4th ranked defensive team in the nation, probably gave the Bulldogs early game jitters. Cumberland led at half-time 28-27, proving neither team played very well in the first half. After halftime, the Bulldogs, with tremendous determination, came back and defeated Perkinston 77-60. Tommy Pile paced the Bulldogs with 22 points. Three other starters ripped through for double fig- ures: Riggins netting 18, Brooks and Williams with 14 points each. With the tournament trimmed down to four teams, Cumberland met Mary Holmes Junior College, an all colored team from Mississippi. Everything seemed fine as Cumberland led at half-time 47-35. In the sec- ond half, the Bulldogs hit a cold spell which allowed Mary Holmes to tie up the score 66-66. With two minutes and thirty seconds left, Cumberland found themselves 3 points down. Knowing it was now or never, the Bulldogs finished out the game aggres- sively. Kenny Brooks ' s last second basket led the Cumberland Bulldogs over Mary Holmes 73-72. Roy Williams and Pete Headrick led the scoring with 17 points each. Two other players also had double fig- ures: Tommy Kirkpatrick and Mark Riggins with 12 points each. While in a rebuilding year, Cumberland seemed surprised to find themselves in the finals of the Region VII Tournament. The opponent was Fre ed- Hardman College of Henderson, Tennessee, a team with whom they had split games during the regular season. At half-time Cumberland proudly found them- selves ahead 43-32. The Bulldogs failed to take into account Freed-Hardman ' s determination to win. Fred- Hardman came out hot and succeeded in tieing the score at 58-58 with ten minutes left. The excitement and pressure were really on in the final minutes. Both swapped buckets until the final 30 seconds of the game. With 12 seconds left, Freed- Hardman tied the game, and Cumberland called time out. With just seconds left, Roy Williams fired at the basket and connected, giving Cumberland an 81-79 lead. With 3 seconds to go, Freed-Hardman threw the ball in, but it was deflected by Riggins into the hands of Tom Pile. The buzzer sounded and Cumberland was the 1966 REGION VII CHAMPIONS. Tommy Kirk- patrick led the scoring with 19 points, Kenny Brooks 18, Roy Williams and Tom Pile ripped the nets with 16 and 15 respectively. 106 NATIONAL JUNIOR COLLEGE TOURNAMENTS Hutchinson, Kansas As Region VII winner, the Cumberland College Bulldogs were representatives from Tennessee to the National Junior College Tournament in Hutchinson, Kansas. With Tommy Kirkpatrick, Kenny Brooks and Mark Riggins scoring 19, 18, and 17 points respectively, Cumberland College defeated Ferrum College of Vir- ginia 83-68 to advance into the winners bracket. The next opponent was the hometown favorite, Hutchin- son Jr. College. Cumberland, playing one of their worst games of the year, allowed Hutchinson to van- ish any hopes of winning the National Championship. Hutchinson beat Cumberland by a score of 60-46. Kirkpatrick and Pile led the Bulldog ' s scoring with 11 and 10 points respectively. The consolation game placed Cumberland oppo- site Chipola Jr. College of Marianna, Florida. The Bulldogs, however, suffered a heart-breaking loss by a score of 77-72. This second defeat eliminated the Cumberland College Bulldogs from the National Tournament but gained them the acclaim of ninth in the nation among 1500 other Junior Colleges. Tom Pile gathers in another rebound against Chipola of Florida in the NJCAA Tournament. H . As the 1966 Region VII Basketball Champions, our Bulldogs had good reason for smiling. : i Baseball For 1965 and 1966 The Cumberland College baseballers finished second in the Dixie Conference and represented Tennessee in the Regional NJ- CAA Baseball Tournament at Brevard. Cum- berland finished the season with a 14-8 record. Leading the team were Bob Raley, hitting .329; Dennis Snyder and Bruce Skeen, hitting .300; Tommy Head, Charles Kolbe, Larry Jordan, and Darrell Troutt, all hitting .250. In the pitching department, Roy Williams drew most of the tough assignments. He was backed by Tommy Head, Mark Riggins, Bud Mayfield, and Tee Clay. Starting the season with 2 losses to Freed-Hardeman, the Bulldogs bounced back to win 6 games in a row. Then a some- what disappointing trip to Campbellsville, Kentucky, cost them 2 more losses. Cumber- land finished the remainder of the season with only 2 additional losses — one to Marion Institute and one to Snead. This year Cumberland has Roy Williams, Mark Riggins, and Larry Jordan returning from last year ' s team. As Sophomores, they may be expected to lead the club. However, if the Bulldogs are going to have a winning season, the heavy load is placed on the shoulders of the Freshmen. From these Freshmen must come those who will have to replace such hitters as Skeen, Raley, Snyder, and Head.

This year, for the first time in several years, Cumberland sponsored a col- legiate golf team. The members, how- ever, had each had considerable ex- perience in the game during their high school days. The team was entered in the Dixie Conference and played the same schedule as the baseball team. The Conference tournament was held in Pulaski, Tennessee, and the two top golfers were sent there to compete with other Dixie Conference stars for school honors. This year ' s team members were David Cook, Captain; Tom Bond, Tom- my Brown, Rick Koss, and John Mack Draper. Members of the 1966 Golf Team: Brown, John Mack Draper. Rick Koss, Tom Bond, Tommy TENNIS Members of the 1966 Tennis Team: Kneeling — Edgar Anderson, David Houdeschell, Julian Gooksey, Verlin Hyder. Standing — Damon Beard, Gary Mifflin, Charles Smith, Steve Willis, Bill McCann. This year ' s tennis team was under the very qualified sponsor- ship of Commander Harris and Doctor Stockton, who were always eager to lend their services and moral support. Coach Damon Beard had very high hopes for the team this year, as they had two players returning from last year ' s team, Gerald Poole and Bill McCann. They were aided by many other promising players, the most outstanding of whom were Steve Willis and Verlin Hyder. Others who paced the court in- cluded David Sanders, Julian Cook- sey, Edgar Anderson, Joe Williams, David Houdeschell, and Gary Robinson. Again this year, tennis was one of the newer sports at Cumberland. The boys followed the same sche- dule as that of the baseball team. Although lack of experience hinder- ed the players somewhat, their interest has proven tennis to be one of the most popular sports on campus. 111 INTRAMURAL The boys ' bowling classes started the year on a little surer footing than did the girls ' . Most of the boys had had considerable pre- vious experience in this activity. There were, however, a few novices in the group, but they soon fell into the routine of things, and after a few weeks of instruction and practice they were hardly distinguishable from the others. Fall quarter was merely a refresher course compared to the competition and rivalry that raged throughout Winter quarter. Each team was positive that theirs would be the one that would win the championship. The boys settled down to work, and the averages began to rise. As the quarter drew to a close, the bowling fever was running unusually high. Members of the 1st place team for Winter Quarter were: Jim Webb, Captain; Spencer Driver, Keith Lorenz, Bob Shamblin, and Don Payne. 112 BOWLING The first two quarters of school found several of the girls migrating to the Bowling Alley once each week. A whole new world of strikes, spares, and gutters was introduced to the amateurs. Teams were chosen and the fun began. Several of the girls had trouble at first just getting their balls to roll down the entire length of the alley. Strikes were certainly a rarity, and gutter balls were in the great majority. By the end of the 1st quarter, however, several of the girls managed to pull their averages up to around 60 or 70. This was from an initial start of about 20. Although not yet in the professional range, the girls were well on their way. Continued practice week after week helped to improve individual style and raise averages. Records of each game were kept and the winning teams were selected on this basis each quarter. As the quarter progressed, the com- petition grew stiffen The girls ' champion- ship team was comprised of Cherie Henry, Captain; Sherrie Green, Lanita Lane, Janis Dowdy, and Nancy Harding. 113 GIRLS ' BASKETBALL Winter quarter found several of the girls beginning tineir first steps toward becoming accomplished basketball stars. Although Coach Washer was rather doubtful of the girls ' athletic ability, many of them came through in amazing style. Brenda Griggs, An- nette Gann, and Carol Richardson were among the select few who had had any pre- vious basketball experience. Most of the games lacked the quality of a real varsity game, but this was rarely noticed in all the confusion and noise that was usually as- sociated with each game. 114 KICKBALL Although kickball is not one of the more connplicated games included in the girls ' Physical Education program, it is probably enjoyed more than any other game. Kickball, Cumberland style, dif- fers in several respects from that play- ed at any other college. Coach is well known for his ability to invent new rules as the need arises. The girls proved their ability to put force behind those kicks and several threatened the safety of the gym windows. DODGEBALL Another one of the interesting sports included in this year ' s Physical Education program was boys ' dodgeball. The name was about the only resemblance to the original game. The boys paid little atten- tion to rules and regulations and concen- trated on running all over the gym, scream- ing loudly, and throwing the balls wildly in all directions. The highlight of each game was at the beginning when close to forty boys would rush to the center of the floor to gain possession of the balls. It was truly a rare experience to make it through the game and not be touched by the ball. 115 STUDENT Little Miss Sunbeam- Dogpatch style. How can I smile? You ' re standing on my foot!

EDWARDS CAPTAIN LEGRAND BROWN 158 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Samuel Butler once said Everyman ' s work, whether it be literature or music or pictures or achitecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself. This quotation is a very proper summation of the 1966 Phoenix. Each page reflects the personality of either one or more members of the staff. My job as editor was to combine them in such a way that they would be most effective. If I have succeeded, then my purpose has been fulfilled. My sincerest thanks are extended to my assistant-editor, Nancy Hailey who spent many long hours and several holidays writing copy, doing lay-outs and fin- ishing the extra typing; to Maureen Allison who sacrificed most of her Thanks- giving and Christmas holidays to make sure that each student had his picture in the proper place; to Margaret Ivy Smith who helped so willingly with the organi- zation write ups; to Jim Farley and Carol Sparling who spent several afternoons and nights working on the copy and lay-outs for the sports section; to Sharon Timbs who untiringly typed and retyped page after page of our copy; to Anne Smith, Emily Rutherford, Harry Freeman, Jim Webb, Ronnie Wicker, Betty Stag- gers, Julian Cooksey, Paul Biel, Larry Jordon, Tommy Brown, and Lloyd Brown who spent many summer and fall afternoons walking the streets of Lebanon and surrounding cities eagerly selling ads for this year ' s annual; to J mmy T V ey, Terry Moore, and Pembroke Pettit who all did such an excellent job of supplying us with photographs; and to John Whipple who did such a marvelous and creative job with the art work. Double thanks must also be extended to Neal Blackburn and Seat ' s Studio for both their excellent pictures and their unlimited patience; to Tom Wilkins and the Hunter Publishing Co. for their assistance and understanding which have been deeply appreciated; to Commander Harris who has always been at my side ready to lend a helping hand and a reassuring word; to the students, the faculty, and especially to Dr. Stockton who have all co-operated so willingly with this year ' s staff. Special thanks are also extended to the Businesses of Lebanon and Middle Tennessee who have so kindly and willingly made this book possible by placing advertisements in our yearbook. My strongest and sincerest-felt sentiment, however, must be given to the Board of Publications who have allowed me the privilege of editing this the 1966 Phoenix.
