Ur fountain found in the center of campus is lin attraction ' Students from many years have nemories of this body of water. Many initiations place here, and many long-lasting friendships i here — it truly is a special part of Hiwassee ' s THE HIWASSEE HIWASSEE COLLEGE HADISONVILLE, TA S7S54 SPONSOR: BARBARA ARWOOD EDITOR: SPRING WEAVER MEMORIES After spending two years at Hiwassee, most sophomores can produce a sizable amount of keepsakes, stories, and memories. Though the memories will vary from one student to the next, there are some we all can share. Homecoming, Halloween, Valentine ' s, plays, and sporting events hold speci al places in each of our memories. Many sophomores collect various keep¬ sakes — usually worthless items whose only value is that they are representative of a special time, a special place, and a special group of people who shared a mo¬ ment worth remembering. Streamers from the Homecoming Dance, a napkin from the Spring Formal, a ticket stub from a game, even a lucky penny found while walking with that special someone are all priceless items that aren’t worth a cent to anyone but their owner. As the years go by, and the memories fade slightly, people tend to lose touch with one another. Although one is always glad to hear from an old friend, it Is difficult to keep up correspondence. Those of us who have spent our years at Hiwassee and have moved on to new horizons will always hold on to the thought that friends are friends forever, because no matter where we go or what we do we will always have one thing in common — we are the class of 1987. — Ferol Howard The Halloween Dance will be a memorable event in the life of many students. CSM activities is a big part of the weekend retreat. Taking advantage of the warm sun, students walk around on campus. 2 OPENING REFLECTIONS Teddy bears are not always left behind when one goes to college. Making two points is a memorable moment to basketball player Chris Duncan. Being In the Homecoming ceremonies will always be remembered by Scarlet Grimes and Junior Boothe. The snack machines take the place of home cooking when one enters college. Students on the CSM retreat stop after a long day of activities. OPENING REFLECTIONS The Bell Tower is a place of fun” at any time of the year. It holds snowball throwers in the winter and “music box dancers” in the spring Thinking about the passing year. Junior Boothe rests on his bed. Ledford Equestrian Center holds many memories for the students who spent hours riding. The Buckner Memorial Chapel stands on the hill as a symbol of Hiwassce ' s faith. 4 OPENING REFLECTIONS REFLECTIONS Reflecting seems to be a common topic here at Hiwassee. Everyone can be caught saying ‘ Remember when . .There are so many memories to hold on to when one graduates and moves on. Some students have even planned to write books about their experiences with best friends, midnight pizza parties, trips, and love lives. If I had to choose only one thing to take with me when I leave. I would gladly pack my memories. — Peggy Hobbs OPENING REFLECTIONS HIWASSEE • • a place to discover oneself. — Susan Mazaiwana the feeling of love you have for your friends is a family-type love. — Lisa Southard a stepping stone in preparation to face the real world. — Ferol Howard a feeling of being a part of a family and a bond of love that hopefully won ' t be broken. — Julie Stookesbury friendship. the opportunity to work with students learning, gro finding out new things about themselves, and discove they want to do in life. — Carol Luther a warm, caring place. — Barbara Arwood Hiwassee means an opportunity for me to share t that have been important and rewarding in my students who might not otherwise have these experie to them. — Joe Lowry — Tammy Nichols Yasuko and MlcMhlro play tennis to relax. Taking a break from a busy day, Ferol Howard and Mike Tate horse around. Many students sit on the benches found at various spots on campus to talk about the week ' s events. 6 OPENING REFLECTIONS OPENING REFLECTIONS 8 STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS A s a Hiwassee student, one is exposed to various activities on campus. The different clubs try to cater to the different students’ interests. For those who love horses, there’s the Equestrian Club; for the dancers, there’s the dancing class on Friday; for the sports-minded, there’s the Fellowship of Christian Athletes; and so the clubs go on totaling fourteen. The highlight of the week that supercedes all is CSM (Christian Student Movement) on Wednesday nights. This gives the students iwrm Christian Fellowship. t Other than the club activities, students usually amuse themselves at the Student Center, the tennis court, the gym, the music rooms or the swimming pool. All these activities may be explored by those who are always on the go! — Susan Mazaiwana 1849 Hne s Student di£e STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS 9 TIGER VICTORY! The tension was keen, alumni and students were out for blood, and the Hiwassee Tigers came through with a win over Snead State in the 1986 Homecoming game. Captain Burk Dallas dominated the scoring and re¬ bounding. Support on defense and on the boards came from Pat Mosley. Tim Harris skillfully demonstrated his ball handling ability, while the rest of the team including Veejer Cox, Eric Rowe, and Chris Duncan, added points on the scoreboard. Thanks, fellows, for a memorable game! — Liana Ruebush and Staff 10 STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS 11 12 STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS HOMECOMING ’86 WAY TO GO KAREM! Smites, hugs, and tears were abundant after Karen Harris was named Homecoming Queen during the halftime of the basket¬ ball game with Snead State. While the crowd roared its ap¬ proval, President Curtis Schofield solved the mystery of which (iophomore woman had been selected, for all were queens in their own right. But it was Karen who received the lovely bou¬ quet, the trophy, and the coveted crown. Her escort was Robbie wgherty. Members of the court were sophomores Scarlet Grimes, escorted by Junior Boothe, and Joy Stapleton, escorted by Jeff Wadley, and freshmen Penny Moore, escorted by Bill Hutsell, and Julie McGhee, escorted by Bobby Moore. Beautiful people. A joyous night to remember! — Staff “DON’T FORGET ME” A tingling excitement was in the air as the first song began playing at the Homecoming Dance of 1986. Ladies in swirling skirts and sharply dressed men filled the gym that was beautifully decorated by the Student Government Association. The Homecoming Court in its splendor was introduced to everyone present. Freshman Russ Reynolds commented, I have lots of memories for next year while sophomore Lute Truett reflected, It was great seeing alumni from last year. With a night such as this, it was easy to fulfill the wish of the Homecoming theme, Don’t Forget Me When I’m Gone. And who could forget the beautiful blue background for the Homecoming Court? Or the delightful music Word (Jp, Take My Breath Away,” and The Glory of Love? Or the spirited dancing of Dewayne, Jerry and Tykey, Karen and Robbie, Scarlet and Junior, Liana, Laura, Michelle, Joy and Jeff, Penny and Bill, Julie, Mike, Bobby, Susan, Eric, and that special someone you were with! — Staff STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS 13 IN SPRING, A YOUNG MAN’S FANCY . . . Love songs echoed through the gym on the night of February 11, 1986. Old flames were kindled and new ones were lit as co danced through the night. Faculty member Myra Beth Slawson remarked, You know that spring is coming. Look at all these lovebirds. Even Ker Sheppard, a freshman, noticed that “Valentine s changes attitudes. Commenting on the beauty of the gym, Jerry Blanken sophomore, concluded, This is prettier than a picture.” Freshman Dave Lester summed up the Valentine s Dance by saying one of the best we had, good music and a good time all night. A special part of this special evening was the crowning of the Valentine court: King Eric Roberts, Queen Karen Harris, Princ Hutsell, and Princess Penny Moore. Cupid stayed busy shooting his arrows at unsuspecting couples throughout this romantic evening. — Staff 14 STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS Va£e tt6 te £ Dtutce t9X7 STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS 15 GHOULS GET DOWN Ghosts, goblins, gangsters, gypsies, and jailbirds crept into the gym on the night of the Halloween Dance. The full moon in the dark night served as an invitation to all creatures on H.wassee sea p to come join in the fun. AND THEY CAME! Wow! My kind of folks! was freshman Randy Hu - man ' s response to the masked students. The people are strange, but there s plenty of guys noted sophomore Michelle Wilson. A “spirited” good time was had by all. — Liana Ruebush and Staff STUDE STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS 17 PRAISING THE LORD! Chapel services are part of the “parcel and package at Hiwassee. Every Wednes¬ day at break, all Hiwassean students are required to attend each chapel session, which lasts anywhere between forty to fifty minutes. Other than the chapel messages delivered by Rev. Russell, President Scho¬ field, the Dean or other faculty members, there is always a guest speaker. This year our speakers have ranged from ex-convicts to college Presidents. We have had some very special services presented by the stu¬ dents to name but a few, Ebony and the choral groups. The chapel tradition is al¬ ways to sign an attendance card at each session and share prayer concerns for friends and family. Without these chapel services, Hiwassee would indeed fail to claim that it is really reinforcing the Chris¬ tian background it was founded on. — Susan Mazaiwana 18 STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS - ASSEMBLING Twice a month on Monday, Sophomores and Freshmen both congregate in the Butcher Auditorium and wait for the speaker, more than often, Dean Daugherty, to speak. Within the dif¬ ferent assemblies come the special announcements of trophies won, academic awards, or other special achievements. With all this comes different presentations from various organizations. Some of the most interesting meetings included presentations from Life Star, a David Moore clown act, and the slave auction. Sophomore and Freshman plans are also discussed. — Susan Mazaiwana STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS 1 FELLOWSHIP — FUN CSM Retreats Are Filled With Fellowship, Food, Fun CSM retreats are scheduled at different times throughout the year. Usually once every quarter. The locations chosen are usually secluded and very much part of nature ' s beautiful setting. These retreats are intended for fellowship and spiritual growth indi¬ vidually as well as within the group. With Rev. Russell as the sponsor and really the backbone of the group, his presence is never missed at these retreats. A guest speaker is normally present at each retreat amidst the warm fellowship, laughter and fun never fails to be included in the sports and games among the group. CSM retreats always seem to rekindle the groups spirit, and to reinforce its Christian foundation. — Susan Mazaiwana 20 STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS 21 ALL IS VANITY Hiwassee Presents Pride and Prejudice The fall quarter drama production of Pride and Prejudice placed one family ' s pride alongside another family ' s prejudice. The story centered around the Bennett family. Mr. and Mrs. Bennett, played by Kelly Jenkins and Mike Tate, were con¬ stantly juggling the affairs of their daugh¬ ters, Jane, Elizabeth, and Lydia. Jane Bennett, played by Imogene Fer¬ guson, was a shy, unassuming girl who saw the best in everyone. She fell hopelessly in love with a young neighbor named Charles Bingley, played by Paul Shockley. Lydia Bennett, played by Amy Free, was the youngest of the three daughters and by far the most anxious to be wed. Lydia loved a man in uniform and quickly fell head over heels for Mr. Wickim, played by Lute Truett, who was a sly military man. Elizabeth Bennett, played by Ferol How¬ ard, was the sophisticated daughter who refused to compromise her beliefs for any¬ one. She represented the prejudice in her family because she would not let herself love or be loved by the distinguished gen¬ tleman named Darcy, who was played by Eddie Bradford. His family came from the upper class in society, one that did not accept outsiders. Darcy was proud but not too proud to admit to his love for Elizabeth. The joining of this pair was further hin¬ dered by the fact that Darcy ' s rich and overbearing aunt. Lady Catherine Bourg, played by Traci Childress, did not think well of Elizabeth and her family because they were from a lower class. Through a series of chance meetings, lively parties, and fierce confrontations, Elizabeth was able to overcome her prej¬ udice against Darcy’s social status. In turn, Darcy was able to swallow his pride and love Elizabeth. — Traci Childress 22 STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS STUDENT UFE REFLECTIONS f THE HILLS ARE ALIVE Hiwassee Presents “The Sound of Music Voice lessons, long rehearsals, new dances, remembering lines, little sleep, and much late-night studying — all of these were ways of life for students involved in the winter pro¬ duction of THE SOUND OF MUSIC. Despite this rigorous schedule, the musical was a success. Two months worth of hard work went into THE SOUND OF MUSIC. Members of the cast had not only regular scene rehearsals but also spe¬ cial singing and choreography ses¬ sions. Special auditions had to be held for the parts of the Von Trapp children, too. The day of the first performance finally arrived. Shows were per¬ formed for two sold-out matinees and three night performances. All the built-up tension, anxiety, and ner¬ vousness were slowly put away and the play, that had been a hit as a Broadway play and as a movie, was brought to life on Hiwassee’s stage. The hard work had more than paid off. By curtain call Saturday night, one could feel that the hills were def¬ initely alive with the sound of music. — Michelle Gonzales Happy Huns! The Von-Trapp family singers perform be¬ fore their daring getaway. 24 STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS 25 26 STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS TO LIE OR NOT TO LIE Hiwassee Presents The Importance of Being Earnest Together ten Hiwassee students made up the smallest cast in eleven years for Theatre Hiwassee s production of The Im¬ portance of Being Earnest. Oscar Wilde incorporated comic deception and misun¬ derstandings in this play for hilarious re¬ sults. The leads were Jack, played by Brett Hart, who introduced the deception by pre¬ tending to be Earnest and ended up being Earnest all the time; Gwendolyn, played by Liana Ruebush, a debutante who refused to marry Jack unless he was Earnest; Al¬ gernon, played by Bobby Thompson, a playboy of the 1900’s dedicated to his fa¬ vorite hobby of Bunburing; and Cecily, played by Ferol Howard, an intelligent air¬ head who proved she could match wits with a true Bunburist. Supporting characters included Lady Bracknell, played by Traci Childress, a high class snob who believed marriage was based on money instead of love; Miss Prism, played by Kelly Jenkins, Cecily’s absentminded tutor who enjoyed discuss¬ ing , ‘fruits ,, with Dr. Chausable, played by Mike Tate, who gave up his vow of celibacy for an effervescent Miss Prism. Other characters were Lane, played by John Roberson; Merriman, played by John White; and maid (Daisy), played by Michelle Gonzales. This play was a favorite of the cast and audience alike. STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS 2 TOUR ' 87 Hiwassee College Choir Performs! Hiwassee College is extremely lucky to have a wonderful choir. This year the Hiwassee Chorale sang at chapel programs, churches, and at area schools. Before Christmas the Chorale celebrated that up¬ coming holy day by singing Handel’s Mes siah. During spring quarter the Chorale toured many places in the area including Gate City United Methodist Church in Virginia, and churches in Chattanooga, Kingsport, Whitwell, and Greeneville in Tennessee. Under the direction of Loys Jordan and accompanied by Mary Helms, the choir topped off this wonderful year by singing at graduation. It was a fitting tribute to have such a splendid group to sing at such a memorable occasion. — Staff 28 STUDENT UFE REFLECTIONS STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS 2S TALENT?! Talent Show 1987 Talent was out in full force for the 1987 Talent Show at Hiwassee. Lee Dailey hosted this evening of delight¬ ful dancers, sensational singers, and magical musicians of all sorts. The dancing ranged from breakdancing to ballet — even an unexpected toe- tapping clog during intermission. The singers, as well as the dancers, sported a variety of music. It included pop songs, religious music, and even an original rap. Other contestants dazzled the audience with their in¬ strumental acts. During intermission, entertainment was provided by Hiwassee ' s one and only bearded fat lady, Miss Folly Par- ton. Contestants waited anxiously for the distinguished judges to make their decision. When the announce¬ ment was finally made, first place deservedly went to Amy Livingston and Doyle Tallent for their Duet ‘Somewhere Out There.’’ — Ferol Howard Mr. Kirk and Dr. McCall open talent show.

Hiwassee’s Spring Formal ’87 April 24 was a magical evening for all those who attended the Spring Formal at Green Meadows Country Club. Many Hiwasseans had favorable comments such as: It was simple, but elaborate enough to be enjoyable. — Joy Stapleton The location was nice. — Kerri Pritch¬ ett I thought it was very well done. I had a fantastic time. — Mike Tate Everyone looked nice. The terrace was lovely. — Sandy Eubanks It was an unforgettable occasion. — Tony Saffles I had a really good time. Everyone looked so nice. — Tammy Kitchen It was fun! — Chris Shelton There is no doubt that the Spring Formal was a great success. Everyone agrees that it is now one of the fondest memories of the Spring of 87 at Hiwassee. — Ferol Howard 32 STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS 33 r 34 STODENT LIFE REFLECTIONS ORLANDO OR BUST! Sophomore Trip 1987 | Bghty-four sophomores spent 26 long hours on two chartered buses. The result: three days of sun, fun, and good times with good friends. While part of the group explored Epcot Center and the Magic Kingdom, others opted to take advantage of the other facilities available on Disney prop¬ erty Not surprisingly, lying out in the sun was a popular daytime activity, and there were several pools to accom¬ modate swimmers and sunbathers alike. Buses, running continually, connected the hotel to the monorail. From there one had access to restaurants of all types, gamerooms. the i jhopping village, the fitness center, and various oth � r ac¬ tivities. Golfing and boating were also available to all those staying on Disney property. There was something for eve¬ ryone. But everyone will agree that the success of the sophomore trip was the new friendships that were made and the old friendships that were cultivated. Eighty-four weary sophomores returned to Hiwassee Col¬ lege, each one glad to be home and ready to unpack their suitcases and their memories. — Ferol Howard STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS 35 Vi • I 4MeUc s4cuwieL 1986-87 Athletic awards MEN S BASKETBALL Best Offensive Chris Duncan Best Defensive Eric Rowe Best Rebounder Burk Dallas Best Shot Blocker Burk Dallas Most Improved Vejer Cox Best All-Around Jeff Lounds Most Valuable Player Burk Dallas WOMEN S BASKETBALL Best Defensive Tracey Williams Most Assists Rachel Hyatt Best Offensive Angelia Hill Most Improved Amy Livingston Best Sixth Man Stacey Heaton Best All-Around Malynda Carruth Most Valuable Player Rachel Hyatt WOMEN’S SOFTBALL Best Offensive Malynda Carruth Best Defensive Ronnie Daniel Most Improved Angel Strode 110 Percent Award Maggie Turner Lady Tiger Award Cherie Long Special Award (Captain) Sandy Hicks Most Valuable Player Rachel Hyatt MEN’S BASEBALL Best Pitcher Jeff Johnson Rookie of the Year Jeff Shelton Best All-Around Tim Willard Best Batting Average Jeff Shelton Most Valuable Player Jeff Shelton MEN’S SOCCER Most Goals Mike Mooney Best All-Around Randy Seay Hiwassee Player Andy Marambio Most Valuable Player Paul Johnson STfinFNT I IFF RFFI FCTIONS DRAMA AWARDS STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS 37 HONORS DAY HONOR S DAY PROGRAM May 22. 1987 Prelude: Special Music by the Music Department I.

After being elected Homecoming Queen and Valentine Queen, she was once again elected by her peers for the honor of Miss Hiwassee. Ka¬ ren was not only a good student and sec¬ retary of the sophomore class but obvi¬ ously very popular among her classmates, who also voted her best all-around.” Her plans are to attend the University of Ten¬ nessee, Knoxville, next fall. As a final honor, Karen was prophesied on class night to attain the title of Miss Universe! Whatever her future, we wish her good luck from Hiwassee. — Ferol Howard A Classy Lady! MR. HIWASSEE Everybody’s Mr. Nice Guy The most prestigious award a male stu¬ dent can receive at Hiwassee is that of Mr. Hiwassee. When the votes were counted, Wayne Cabbage was the people s choice. Wayne is a resident of Rutledge, Ten¬ nessee. Although he was voted Best Look¬ ing by his fellow peers, he is much more than just another pretty face and a nice body. Ranked sixth in the TJCAA for his excellent batting average of .395, he was also the captain of the Hiwassee Tigers. In addition to all of the above, Wayne is a good student and a friendly person. He was always there to lend an ear or shoulder to a friend. We would like to wish Wayne good luck next year at Carson-Newman College as well as good luck for the future. — Tracey D.

Orpheus is an ensemble of men offering a program of music ranging from sacred to show tunes, pop and novelty. Of course, there are also the ever popular barbershop favorites. The men of Orpheus sing in conjunction with choir programs and other ensembles and also perform solo engagements. — Loys Jordan SHALOM The Hebrew word “Shalom means peace, or God be with you. The vocal en¬ semble Shalom tries to give a musical meaning to this universal word by per¬ forming Christian music with an upbeat message in a format that is also eye- appealing. Shalom performs as part of the Choir’s concert program, as a solo group or with the other ensembles. In addition to performing contemporary Christian music, Shalom sings some pa¬ triotic, pop, and show tunes as well. — Loys Jordan 62 CLUBS REFLECTIONS ibony got its start when a group of Hiwassee students were lung back from a trip with Rev.

Singing in two, three, and four-part harmony, this ensemble performed in chapel, with the choir, and traveled frequently, performing entire concerts, both sacred and secular. Following the excellent leadership of Ms. Helms, this group not only improved musically but also pulled together as a group. The lessons Harmony learned from Ms. Helms, both in singing and in life, will be carried through the years. Though she stayed behind the scenes, she was the inspiration behind the group. Harmony would also like to send a special thanks to Henry and Sue Orr for all their love and support throughout the year. Thank you for being our biggest fans. — Ferol Howard CLUBS REFLECTIONS 63 AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY The American Chemical Society — Pre-professional Club is sponsored by Art Fowler and Glen Keller.

Members are able to participate in a variety of activities throughout the year. This year the club sponsored the selling of candy bags at Halloween, secret pals, a road block for Muscular Dystrophy, painting the water fountain, and vol¬ unteers to assist faculty. But the one money-making activity that students and faculty remember the most is the selling of candy bars! No one went hungry when there was a business club member around. President Gigi Flores remarked. It was fun, but a lot of hard work. It was all worth it though, when we won Club of the Year.” — Ferol Howard CIVINETTES leCivinettes, sponsored by Bettye Spurting, is traditionally an active club on campus.

Rachel Hyatt, point guard, led the region in assists and was one of the team’s leading scorers. She received a full scholarship to play basketball at Austin Peay State University. Malynda Carruth was an outstanding rebounder and a leading scorer. Ginger Barrett averaged 12 points per game. Two reserves Stacey Heaton, who will play at Milligan College, and Amy Livingston, who will play at Shorter College, contributed a lot when they were on the court. Kim Langford also played good defense and offense when in the game. Of the six freshmen to return, Tracey Williams and Angelia Hill will be out¬ standing.

Captain Wayne Cabbage summed up the baseball program by saying, “Hiwassee College baseball is a dom¬ inating powerhouse team of the fu¬ ture. Hiwassee baseball has been the best experience these last two years. I ' ve enjoyed every second.” The baseball Tigers won nineteen games overall, ten of which were di¬ vision games. They outscored their opponents by an average of seven to five and were not swept by any team in their division. Three Hiwassee batters were in the top ten in the TJCAA. They were Jeff Shelton in first place at .484, Wayne Cabbage in sixth place .395, and Bob¬ by Thompson in tenth place at .394. The team batting average was fifth in the nation (NJCAA). Two Hiwasseans were in the top five pitchers in the TJCAA. They were Jeff Johnson in third place with a 7-1 record and a 2.25 ERA, and Eddie Huffaker in fifth place with a 5- 1 record and a 2.58 ERA. Coach Rusty Melvin is certainly to be commended for leading his team to such an outstanding season. The Tigers were competing for a chance in the state playoffs and were just eliminated at the end of the season. Though they barely missed the playoffs, everyone agrees that the 1986-87 baseball Tigers had a sen¬ sational season.

Adolpho Medina commented on all the hurdles the team and college encoun¬ tered. First, no junior colleges in Tennessee play soccer, making scheduling hard as well as forcing a new team to compete with established four-year programs. Medina felt lucky to recruit quality players, those who were skilled to play soccer as well as loved the game. ‘All the team played hard RUNNING — all eleven on the field,’’ commented Medina. Their overall record was 9 wins, 12 loss¬ es, 3 ties. Their wins in the spring were over TEAM USA, INTERNATIONAL CLUB of Chattanooga, and Toccoa Falls College of Georgia. In conclusion, Medina said, “I’m very pleased with that first year. I think we are going to have a much stronger program next year.” :n crnANC SPORTS REFLECTIONS 93 ' ttyitvoteee CcUk$ 7etutt The Hiwassee Intercollegiate Rid¬ ing Team distinguished itself for be¬ ing the High Point Hunt Seat Team at both Morehead State University and at Midway College.

To one sophomore, David Huckaby, it has meant a dream come true. David came to Hiwassee as a freshman in 1984. He received his first taste of dancing while performing in the musical Oklahoma at Theatre Hiwassee. After 19 years without a single dance lesson, David began to work and prac tice at his new-found talent. In January of 1987, David and his partner, Jackie Elliot, participated in the Southern District Competition held in Atlanta. Together they walked away with second place and an invitation from a European Talent Scout to tour Moscow, Leningrad, and Denmark in the summer of 1987. We at Hiwassee have much to be proud of, and David certainly falls into this category. David s example serves as inspiration for all of us to welcome new experiences and strive for excellence. — Ferol Howard 98 SOPHOMORE REFLECTIONS SOPHOMORE REFLECTIONS 9?

One is not quite fully a member of the gang until having been dropped into the welcoming mouth of the fountain. On warm sunny days what better thing to do than get cooled off by a few caring associates. Why, you could be talking away quite contentedly staring into the water, carefree and relaxed, when strong arms would suddenly hurl you, (probably head first) into that water. Of course, the result would always a shocked, angry, but laughing, drenched Hiwasseean. Ham gone through this experience the victim would then k motivated to share his experience with other unfortunate sou And so the tradition continues.

Hiwassee campus lifestyle during freshman year becomes a mirror of yourself because it is then that one really realizes who they are as an adult and not as a a. Though our lives become immensely influenced by those of others the individual identity is never really lost but, instead it starts hg on more pieces at the willingness of the individual.

Back in high school, when you needed clean jeans or a shirt, you went and washed it yourself — right? WRONG! You yelled. “Mom, I need my clothes washed,” and you went out, leaving the washing to Mom. Then you came to college, and you had to face the reality that Mom wasn ' t here to do it for you. Now you have worn everything you own, and you realize that you must do laundry. Your mom sent you some washing powders, so you gather your clothes and head downstairs. Your mom said to separate the clothes, so you put pants in one load and everything else in another load. In the washer they go. You put in your washing powders and 50C, then take a seat in the lobby to wait until they are through. After waiting a while you go to put them in the dryer. The jeans look great, but your other clothes are all at different shades of pink. “What happened?” you ask. Well, at the bottom of the washer you find your brand new red sweatshirt.

Well, this is what we may start to write, but it never comes out that way in our letters. Most of our letters end up saying, Dear Mom and Dad, I am sorry that I have not written lately. I have been in bed for a few weeks with a stomach problem and broken arm, but I’m fine now. No, I’m not out partying all of the time and, as a matter of fact, I have been staying up every night until 3:00 or 4:00 studying — my classes are difficult, and you know how much I want to make good grades.

Her collection ranged from a huge three-foot dog to a small two-inch pink panther. “Each object has a special meaning, said Tesha. A collection of posters can be found in Peggy Hobbs ' room. She has posters of groups that she has seen in concert. These lifesize pictures remind her of the nights she spent listening to them sing as she sat in various concerthalls. As one goes to various rooms on campus, the collections of Garfield, Opus, Care Bears, posters, and other objects can be found in large numbers! Collecting has become a hobby that many people enjoy. Eve¬ rything can be collected. Even the junk piled in the closet in your room could hold some very interesting collections! — Spring Weaver 128 FRESHMEN REFLECTIONS MB V Yasushi Tsuda Terue It oh Gwen Clpton Jacqueline Upton Amy Walker Tim Willard Darashea Williams Jack Williams Shuna Williams Tim Williams Tracey Williams Scott Winkle Chip Wooldridge Michelle Woods Scott Woods Jennifer Woodward Motoyuki Yamada Tim Tarber Kuniko Yoshida FRESHMEN REFLECTIONS 129 ■■■ 130 FACULTY REFLECTIONS T he teachers at Hiwassee College are more than just instructors for many reasons. They do more than just show up to teach classes and give tests and then turn around and go back home again. At a small college such as Hiwassee, the teachers have a better opportunity to be included in student and campus activities. Most every onfe of them is the sponsor with one of the many clubs on campus, and some of them even invite students to their homes for extra help in a particular class. Sure, they could just come in the mornings and leave in the afternoons everyday like programmed robots, but many of them give of their time and talents for the student body. True, sometimes one may not be able to find a particular teacher, but for the most part they are there and willing to help students in any way possible. The Hiwassee teachers do a lot more than just teach, and we applaud them for that. For two years (and for some of us — 3 years) they have been setting examples for the sophomores, and they will continue to do so in the years to come. Thank you, Hiwassee faculty, for doing more than just what the line of duty calls for and for being not only special teachers, but also special people. — E. Bradford Dear Students: In our final chapel period for the year, Chaplain Jerry Russell had us read these words from I Corinthians 13: “When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up cfiiMish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part: then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood. So faith, hope, live abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” It seemed so appropriate to me that we read these words together at the end of a wonderful year at Hiwassee, for indeed, the ess of the Hiwassee experience is love. We have grown from childhood into a maturity, and in that fullness of life, we should follow the powerful advice of this verse Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. I know that as you sophomores go out I Hiwassee that you will carry these words in you r heart. The Hiwassee experience is a loving experience. Your teachers here have been caring, concerned persons who have taken a pen interest in you. We shall continue to care about you even after you have gone from here, and we know that you learned great tf here. We love you. Farewell, and God bless you. Sincerely yours, Curtis Schofield 132 FACULTY REFLECTIONS Dear Hiwassee, Over the many years I have served as Dean of Students a Hiwassee. I have always marveled at the energy and excitemen our students have regarding the many things that are associate with college life. It is true that some things go on that I woul prefer did not, and I question where some students really catch glimpse of what the Hiwassee spirit is really all about. However, ii the total picture, I see a group of students that are really sincen about their future. I see closer personal friendships made. I se positive interaction with faculty and staff people. I see growth an maturity and even though the true Hiwassee spirit may not b shown during the time that students are here and trying to grov up. I feel that as time passes many will see what we are trying t do here. I sincerely believe that Hiwassee is a special place madi up of special people and the students are definitely those specia people. Bill W. Daugherty Dean of Students Dear Students, The remarkable irony about Hiwassee is that you will take a great deal in your memory and in your character with you when you leave here, and yet the College will be renewed and enriched for your hav¬ ing been here. You will leave a part of yourself here, and Hiwassee will always be with you. If you keep the Hiwassee spirit — which is based on positive, caring, and holistic values — you will have a wonderful future. Best wishes always, R. J. Watson FACULTY REFLECTIONS 13 • • • 1 BEHIND THE SCENE When graduation is over and you begin to reflect back on your days at Hiwassee, I ' m sure a teacher or two or the sports program will come to mind first. We should not, however, forget some of the other people who made our Hiwassee experience possible. Th people who work in Maintenance, in the Library, the Bookstore, the Cafeteria, the Student Center, and the Post Office also deserve t be remembered. They are there day after day to try to make Hiwassee better for all of us, and they deserve some recognition as wd Out hats are off to you all for being outstanding at what you do and for providing many of the little things that make Hiwassee speda — E.

Away From Home One of the first people a student sees when he she moves onto campus is the head resident of the dorm he she will stay in. Hiwassee is fortunate to have people in these capacities who take a personal interest in each student. Mr. Ken Moser is the head resident at Brunner Hall and enjoys keeping himself in good shape by playing tennis and skipping rope. I Ms. Petita Richard is in charge of Allison Hall and, as everybody can tell, loves flowers. Planting and taking care of her flowers | around Allison are tasks she takes special pride in. I Ms. Sauls is in charge of Tom Black which, like Brock, has had a sex change over the past year and is now a woman’s dorm for the first time. She enjoys craftwork and examples of her talent may be found at various locations on campus. Ms. Turner, otherwise known as Mama T., is the head resident at Brock Hall; which is a men s dorm for the first time ever. She I is in charge of the cheerleaders and sponsors them through basketball season. I We thank the head residents for being there when we need them. i FACULTY REFLECTIONS 13 TEACHERS WEAR MANY HATS Many teachers on the Hiwassee campus are involved in extra-curricular activities that make them true individuals with distinctt personalities. Mrs. Barbara Arwood has been extremely valuable this year to the Annual Staff. This has been her first year as sponsor for the a nual, and she has done a super job. Thanks! Mr. Roger Hill has many different functions on campus. He is in charge of Industrial Education, directs the Work Study Progrt and is involved in CSM, Life Service, and BS(J. He is a busy, busy man. One of the most unique teachers on this campus is undoubtedly Mr. Kirk. He may have an identity crisis at times, but that isc thing that makes him so unique. He ' s one bearded lady” who stood on that very spot” everywhere! The L L combination of Mr. Lowry and Ms. Luther have teamed together for many years. They both teach English, and they both in charge of directing the plays and of the Drama Club. Mr. Clarence McCall is a very versatile man who does more than just teach. Every year he participates in the plays the Drama C performs and is a fine actor and singer. The Reverend Doctor Jerry Russell is a tireless person. Just thinking of all that he does makes a person tired! He is pastor at the church on campus, involved in CSM and Life Service, assis¬ tant coach for the baseball team and men ' s basketball team, and conducts the Chapel service every Wednesday morning. Another faculty member experiencing an identity crisis is Bob Smith. Mr. Smith is completing his first year as a teacher at Hiwassee, and the rumor is that he is going to try out for cheerleading next year! Good Luck, Bob! We thank these and all the other faculty members for being true originals. — E.

We tried to focus on the main events in the life of all the students: sports, drama, clubs, and many extracurricular activities. This book took many hours of hard work. My thanks goes out to all the people who helped. I would also like to thank Mrs. Barbara Arwood for her help and support. She was always there to give that extra push when things became rough. As editor of the 1987 Hiwassee, I hope I did a good job of reflecting special memories that you have of Hiwassee. The staff and I hope you are well pleased with the book and will use it in later years to help you reflect on the 1986-87 year you spent at Hiwassee. I would like to end with a word of expectation. Look forward to next year s book. The new staff and I are working hard to make it the best! Enjoy the book. Hiwassee Editor, Spring Weaver 144 CLOSING REFLECTIONS
