Hiwassee College - Hiwassee Yearbook (Madisonville, TN)

Text from Pages 1 - 138 of the 1988 volume:

hen students walked onto the campus of Hiwassee College, they had many expectations. Some were great and some were small, but nonetheless they existed: things like starting a “new life,” making special new friends, and meeting the person one would call “roommate” for the next year. One thing most did not expect to find was the diversity found on campus. These diversities make Hiwassee a special place for students to encounter the first years of their college experience. Hiwassee can “Celebrate its Diversity” in many areas ranging from aca- demics to sports. These differences can be seen in a student-teacher tutoring session in the library or when Hiwasse’s Equestrian team performs at various shows. When one looked at these diversities, he or she saw that it was the student body that caused this institution to be diverse and special — unlike any other school. “Hiwassee is different. People here are willing to lend you a hand when you need help. You feel like you are part of a big family. That is what Hiwassee is all about,” said Sophomore Matthew Eng. Trials and joys are experienced by many. Some students faced the trials of moving into unfamiliar surroundings while other students discovered the responsibility of growing up, but all shared the joys of “Celebrating Diversity” at their own Hiwassee College. — Spring Weaver SGA MEMBERS work in the gym preparing for the 1987 Homecoming Dance. s ' V t 2 CELEBRATING DIVERSITY OPENING LISA EAKINS PUTS THE FINISHING TOUCHES ON PEGGY HOBBS’ MAKEUP.

Students who were not on t college teams could participate in sporting events during the different intramural comp tition. With the variety of interest groups on campus, there were many opportunities to make friends. “Angela Duncan has been a good friend this year. Through music and her strong feelings about God, she has helped me in many ways,” says Jill Jordan. The attendance of international students was another element of diversity found on campus. Because of the different cultural backgrounds, students had the opportunity to explore diverse ways of life. Because students were able to “Celebrate Diversity,” Hiwassee became a unique learn- ing and growing experience for all. — Spring Weaver THE STAINED GLASS WINDOW, found in the little chapel, truly symbolizes the many ways that Hiwassee’s students “Celebrate Diversity.” ■ ■ ■ curing the 1988 school ye. students at Hiwassee wc found “Celebrating Dive ty.” This “celebrating” was found academics, sports, friendship, and, y even nationalities. The academic scene was truly diverse. Teacht helped students more than ever. “When I decided to major in psychology, Mrs. Ann Miller help me decide what school to attend to finish my education. She express true concern for all students,” commented Peggy Hobbs. 4 CELEBRATING DIVERSITY OPENING AS STUDENTS GO THROUGH THEIR BUSY DAYS, many enjoy stopping to look at some of the beauty God has placed on the campus, photo by Matthew £ng.

CELEBRATING niVFR sitv nDPMiwr. ; SOPHOMORE EDITOR: Lisa Eakins 6 CELEBRATING DIVERSITY SOPHOMORES Over the past two years, the sopho- mores at Hiwassee have discovered just how special this college is. Diversity among the student body was seen not only by the attendance of international students, but also by the representation of students from various states. By bringing these students together at Hiwassee College, there was a true rea- son for “Celebrating Diversity.” — Peggy Hobbs Hiwassee is unique. There is a lot that one would love to narrate in order to emphasize this fact, but it is hard to de- fend the truth. The issue about emphasis on service is the desire to serve others rather than beign served has been the major point that all the professors try to communicate to the students. Hiwassee is also different. The com- munity that goes beyond simple relation- ships into brotherhood is hard to find on a campus not like Hiwassee. Hiwassee is a family. The best brotherhood is in Brunner. — Timothy Kizito They say the friendships you make at college are the ones that last forever. I believe that’s true because the friends I’ve made here at Hiwassee are very spe- cial and I hope those friendhsips last for- ever. — Chris Shelton The Hiwassee ex- perience can be spe- cial to anyone from whatever back- ground they may come from. Those who come to Hiwas- see have every chance for spiritual, intellectual and emotional growth with the help of God, their own will- ingness and the help of their teachers. — Missi Johnson — Matthew Eng Sherry Adcox Tomoko Akazawa Michael Anderson Keith Arwine Stacie Atkins Teresa Bartleson Tony Bates Joel Batt Samuel Benthall Rob Blankenship 8 CELEBRATING DIVERSITY SOPHOMORE Kelly Bradley Barbara Bright Joey Britt David Britton Regina Britton Bary Brown Lisa Burke Hettie Burrell Rick Burton Laura Clawson Martha Cook Rhonda Cooley Teresa Daniel Ronnie Daniel Lisa Davis Ronnie Davis Eddie Denton Garner Dewey John Dixon Elena Doster Will Dougherty T ommy Doufttai DaN DucVworvYv Penny Duncan Elizabeth Duso Lisa Eakins Shannon Edmonds Matthew Eng Kim England Greg Ernsberger Sandra Eubanks Jeffrey Evans Lisa Evans Billy Farr Scott Frank CELEBRATING DIVERSITY SOPHOMORE 9 Mitchell Gambill Julie Gibbs Kimberly Gibson Ruthie Gibson Michelle Gonzales Kevin Green Lisa Greer Joe Grubb Melissa Gryder Andres Guevara Chris Hall Jennifer Hartman Keith Hicks Angelia Hill Dennis Hinkle Daniel Hinton Peggy Hobbs Chris Hodge Kenda Hodge Chad Hooper Chikako Horikoshi Brian Horton Michelle Howe Randy Huffman Cindi Huffman Michelle Hunt Susan Hunt Bill Hutsell Amy Hutton Jerry Hysinger Terue Itoh Joy Jenkins Kelly Jenkins Lee Johnson Melissa Johnson 10 CELEBRATING DIVERSITY SOPHOMORES Saying goodbye was the hardest thing to do for all of the sophomores who were graduating. Many friendships had been made. It was also sad to leave behind the many teachers who had been supportive of the class. As the members of the sophomore class separated, most were going in diverse directions. Aya Komakine said that she planned to “go back to Japan to be trained to be a stewardess on Japan’s International Airlines.” Other students had college plans. Jeff Shelton said he wanted to “play baseball at any college that I can get a good offer from.” Also, Junior Boothe planned to “attend Tennesse Wesleyan College after Hiwassee.” Many of th e students at Hiwassee College planned to get married following graduation. Katie Wentworth said, “I am anticipating that wonderful day of starting a new life with David.” — Peggy Hobbs Paul Johnson Jill Jordan Lisa Jordan Tammy Kitchen Timothy Kizito Aya Komakine Kristy Kosky Joe LaFollette Carol Lamb Kenneth Lawrence CELEBRATING DIVERSITY SOPHOMORES 11 HIKING IN THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS is considered to be a favorite hobby of Peggy Hobbs, photo by Peggy Hobbs Dorm life is filled with more than studying and sleeping. Melissa Gryder said, “I spend my spare time crocheting, cross-stitching, and writing poetry. But most of all my favorite pastime is reading.” If you go into her room you will see piles of books all around. There are many different hobbies here at Hiwassee such as with Jennifer Hartman who commented, “I enjoy music, sign language, and writing poetry.” When Amy Summey was asked what her hobbies were, she replied, “I like to sing, read, and bowl.” There were also many different pastime activities in the men’s dorm too. As Bill Hass indicated, “I enjoy soccer, reading, and skiing.” Bill was not the only one with hobbies. Greg Ryan was quoted as saying, ‘‘I enjoy all kinds of sports and singing.” Will Dougherty took the time out to say, “I like to watch T.V., sing and listen to music, and play sports.” When Tim Shubert was asked what his hobbies were, he jokingly said, “Me and Scott (Bull) Winkle enjoy catching the washing machines of Brock Hall on fire (accidentally), of course)! — Kristy Kosky and Lisa Eakins Deanna Leamon Karen Lee Monique Lequire Quentin Lewis Cherie Long Rikki Low Wendy Markwood John Martin Karen Mayfield Anesu Mazaiwana 12 CELEBRATING DIVERSITY SOPHOMORES Brian McKamey Rhonda McLemore Laura Merrell Teresa Michael Mark Mills Debra Millsaps Mike Mooney Deena Moore Lisa Moore Penny Moore Robert Moreland Pam Morgan Yoko Mori Kathy Moses Reazhonda Mullins Mitsura Muramatsu Andrew Murphy Renee Pardue Denise Pickens Karie Pritchett Chrystal Reece John Roberson Erin Rogers Susan Ross Darnell Rucker Greg Ryan Wendy Saint Ana Salazar Greg Sawyer Kristi Seaton Randy Seay Michael Shelton William Shelton Ken Shepard Janie Short CF.I FRR ATIMr. niVPRCITV CODUOunn Tim Shubert Curtis Sluss Brad Smith Ellen Smith Denise Snider Tim Stamey Johnny Stewart Alisa Stinnett Teresa Stinnett Angel Strode Yashurio Suga Amy Summey Masaki Sunayama Ricky Teffeteller Kim Thomas Randall Timko Mike Tipton Gwen Upton Jackie Upton Kristi Walker Jeff Ward Spring Weaver Angel Webb Scotty Webb Theodore Webb Kathryn Wentworth Amelia Whited Calvin Whited Tim Williams Tim Willard Ginger Wilson Scott Winkle Michelle Woods Tim Yarber 14 CELEBRATING DIVES ITY SOPHOMORES Katie Wentworth This year a program called “Hosts” was put into action for the first time. HOSTS is an acronym meaning Helping Other Students to Succeed. The program was established to help freshmen adjust to the new challenge of attending college and to being away from home for the first time. Everyone involved with Hosts thought it went well and was succesful. Several freshmen were asked what they liked most about the program. Rhonda Blevins from Wytheville, Vir- ginia, commented, “It was an easy way to make friends and made me forget about being away from home.” Other comments were that the games and activities helped them to feel comfortable around each o er and the school. We hope the Hosts P gram will continue. — Katie Went wo THE NEW HOSTS PROGRAM helped ir freshmen adjust to their first year of college, p! by Peggy Hobbs. 18 CELEBRATING DIVERSITY FRESHMEN Billy Akers Christy Alexander Sherri Alley Terri Alley Johnny Amos Lana Jo Anderson Stephanie Anderson Bill Andrews Charles Archer Jack Aris Renea Arthur Denise Atkins Jay Bacon Karen Barr Jimmy Belcher Jeff Blair Tammy Blankenship Donna Blevins Rhonda Blevins Heather Bolt Michael Bott Greg Botts Carla Bowen Leanne Bradley Lane Breeden Alex Brindel Callie Brown Eric Brown Jeff Browning James Burnette Candy Burris Andrew Card Keith Chandler Todd Charnovic Chikako Chikawa Madelon Childress Tony Chou David Clabo Kenny Clifton Glenda Coffey Cindy Collins Charmin Collis William Collis Penney Courter Mike Cox Tammy Crabtree Tommy Craig Tracy Creamer Robin Cross Paul Curtis Beth Daugherty Betty Davis Denise Davis Kelly Davis CELEBRATING DIVERSITY FRESHMEN 19 Michael Davis Tammy Deggs Kathy Delbridge Melanie Denton Angela Duncan Sophia Duncan Chuck Dunham Tammy Estes Tonya Everett Leslie Ferguson Reggie Finley Renee Fitzgerald Glen Foley Kendall Freeman Beth Gentry Janna Gentry Angie Gibby Tammatha Gibson Randy Givens Robert Gonzalez James Graham Vanessa Grimes Rachel Guthrie Joel Flackworth Nikki Hall Linda Hammer Gordon Harless Artis Harris Kimberly Harris Mark Hartzler Amy Hawk Ann Hawk Mark Haynes James Hemphill Monica Henn John Hess Teresa Hettrick Mark Hicks Shannon Holt Peggy Hooper Gregory Hope Robert Huffstetler Alfred Humphreys Wanda Hurst Marye Isbell Mike Isbell Eugene Jackson Brook Johnson Tracy Johnson Ian Jones Kimberly Jones Ricky Jones Tracie Jones Hiromi Kanai 20 CELEBRATING DIVERSITY FRESHMEN CELEBRATING DIVERSITY FRESHMEN 21 0 0$ DIVERSITY WORLDS OF WISDOM Each year lots of new faces come to- gether to make the freshman class at Hiwassee. This past fall there were sev- eral Japanese students joining the fam- ily. Coming to Hiwassee brings about many changes in their lives. They must adjust to the American ways which is not easy. Some of the changes they go through include learning to speak Eng- lish fluently, a change in diet and a ma- jor change in culture. Ask yourself: What would it be like for me as an American to go overseas and study in Japan? Maybe you’ll begin to understand the challenge they are fac- ing. I asked several Japanese students what some differences were between their colleges universities and Hiwas- see. To begin, the colleges do not have dormitories and students get to class by train each morning. The universities in Japan are very hard to enter. Each pro- spective student must take an entrance exam and make a very high score. The Japanese students studying at Hiwassee think that it’s easier to get into an American school than a Japanese one. A junior college in Japan is offered only to the women. All of the men must attend a four-year university or nothing at all. The professors do not emphasize class attendance — that responsibility is the students. As expected, if you don’t at- tend classes the test will be harder for you. These are just a few of the adjust- ments Japanese students have to make. By knowing them, we American stu- dents can better understand their chal- lenges, and maybe we can lend a helping hand. — Katie Wentworth After deciding to attend college, fresh- men were faced with the decision of find- ing a major. For some, this decision was hard; for others it was very simple; and for the majority— they didn’t know exactly what to do. When the freshmen met with their advisors at the beginning of school, their advisors tried to help them decide on that perfect field of study for them as an individual. They had to keep in mind that whatever they chose it would be with them for a long time. A survey was done to see what fields of study most freshmen were interested in. The graph reveals the various majors cho- sen by the freshmen. — Katie Wentworth MARY LOU ISBELL, a pharmacy major, spends many hours working in the chemistry lab. 22 CELEBRATING DIVERSITY FRESHMEN Mariko Katagiri Brian Keen Irvin Keenan Kathy Keeton Kevin Kenny Tammy Knight Douglas Kosier Rachelle Lackey Scott Lance Jeffery Lashley Leea Lawson Chris Lee Lance Linsel l Daniel Long Rickey Long Paul Magnan Don Maples Elizabeth Margraves Roger May Joe Maynor Pam McBride Shelly McCraw Derek McDaniel Heather McGavin Jona McKeehan Jamie McLendon Jeanne Merrell Shanna Michaels David Miller Doug Mills Rika Miura Jay Moore Rachel Moore Robbie Moore Veronica Morgan Gina Neese Darrin Nichols Scott Odom Ayumi Ogasawara Takashi Okamoto Tammy Oliver Jeffrey Oody Brent O’Tool Fumiko Ozeki Cherri Pacatte Laura Palmer Lisa Powell Karla Presley Larry Presley Kathy Pryor Susan Queen Kellie Rapking Andrea Ray Gary Reagon CELEBRATING DIVERSITY FRESHMEN 23 Angie Rowe Sandy Rowe Mince Rubin Jeanne Ruebush William Sedgwick Rickey Self Sharron Shaw Steven Skiles Patrick Smith Tony Smith Lisa Smythers John Snodderly Steven Spradlin Roger Stanley Christopher Stansell Diane Stapleton Jeanette Stouffer Erik Suffridge Mie Suzuki Barry Swift Tomomi Taniguchi Laurie Tanner Karen Thomas Richard Thomas Michelle Thornburg Theresa Tilley Kenneth Tindell David Tipton Donna Toney Angie Tucker Jackie Tuggle Melanie Turpin Robert Underwood Sheldon Upton Angela Vestal Kippi Waldon Tracy Ware Brian Warren Reed Watson Scott West Gena Whaley Robbin Whited Gena Wikle Samuel Williams Rebecca Willix James Wilson Shannon Wood Angela Wright 24 CELEBRATING DIVERSITY FRRSHMFN Robert Reagon Kevin Redding Sheri Richesin Barry Roberts Hannah Rogers Johnny Rogers al tV ese c ' $ • ' • Vve c ee ! ggsgS a o d rotoirt P e V o ! . ° bo eC ° evs 0 ' ° W o aV el a q e °, n( W e ° W( V ' eaS ‘ eek v,p vo ' w c n e d et ' V b dVde ' oto v,a %° ' n A A W v fXeW f e W ea ed; as „ u e J at d � ve sseo a 6e s a N° V Nes, ' 1 f a ' 0 c o ° W 0 trend % a vea ' m0t o6 3 ! � V� l eo .Vu Vt ' did ,he « e °L e a ' ' r et . rrvo ' ' n e •„. ba , -uP ' e ' „ cnC sd %„ ,cVvo oV S?

But even more amazing than that is that he knows everyone of us — by name! How many shcools can boast of a Dean of Students like that? And when some unfortu- nate person somehow gives him cause to summon them to his office, he is always understanding— firm, but understanding. Oh, Barbara Butler, this school couldn’t function without our reliable Registrar. It needs someone to hand out all those drop add cards! Seriously, Mrs. Butler is a great help to all students. She assists with the transcripts and class descriptions for students transferring to other colleges. She also helps students work out schedule problems. I guess she should know what to do by now, she’s been with Hiwassee for almost thirty years. Yes, Barbara Butler is a main artery in this school. We can t forget Dean France. He many be new but he sure has made an impression as new Assistant Dean of Students. Starting the HOSTS Pro- gram (Helping Others Students Succeed) was his big input for freshman week. That helped many students get a good start. He also sees that students attend class regularly. He, like the Dean and the Registrar, is receptive to hearing students’ problems and helping them do something about them. I bet we will see Dean France around here for many years to come! These three people and other administrative personnel work with the students in all kinds of ways. We all need to remember to thank them. — Beth Duso.

The instructors who continually go above and beyond the call of duty, simply out of sincere care and concern for their students, often go unthanked. Beth Slawson sends cards to people who are sick and writes to students who make the honor roll and the Dean’s list. Miss Slawson also sees that the play casts never go hungry by providing cookies and other treats during rehearsals and at showtime. Other generosities include donating books to the library in memory of friends and starting the Broken Ankle Collection. She also sponsors Phi Theta Kappa and participates in CSM. Reading voluminously and taking care of animals, especially her favorite cat Rober- ta, are her hobbies. During the 1987 Honors Day program Miss Slawson was honored by receiving the Outstanding Christian Service Award. Ann Miller is also an involved person on campus. She teaches psychology, educational psychology, and child psychology. “An excellent class,’’ says Wendy Markwood about the educational psychology class. She also coun- sels both students and faculty. Mrs. Miller is understanding, approachable and has a genuine concern for students. “She is very courteous,” says Kelly Jenkins. Roger Hill also participates in many activities. He leads the music for CSM each week, as well as accompanying them on their retreats. He directs the College Work Study program and also teaches computer science, tech- nology education, and photography. For several years he sponsored the yearbook, right now, he is working on his Ph.D in Technological and Adult Education at UTK. Clarence McCall is diverse, too. He teaches classes in different disci- plines including Marriage and Family Experience, Human Sexuality, Reli- gion and Philospophy. He is a full professor, Division Head of Humanities, and chairman of several committees. A minister, he celebrates weddings and funerals and speaks in area churches. He is very supportive of lan- guages being taught on campus, and participates in Theatre Hiwassee. Finally, Dr. McCall is friendly to everyone — even students not in his class. The greatest reward instructors at Hiwassee receive is seeing the results of their efforts manifested in the lives of their students. The faculty’s selflessness and dedication to each student is an inspiration carried by everyone who leaves Hiwassee. — Jill Jordan DR. CLARENCE MCCALL not only teaches but also participates in various school activi- ties.

DIVERSITY FACULTY If someone were to ask students here at Hiwassee who are the important people, most would answer either faculty or students. Right? Well, what about when it snowed this year? We got along okay without the faculty for two whole days! BUT we still had to have the support personnel. The good people in the cafeteria who feed us three times a day, the nice men who fixed the hot water heaters when they broke, and our supportive dorm parents who helped us through all major catastrophes. And I know if it were left to the students in dorms to clean up after themselves, they would all be living in garbage ten feet deep! So, we really owe a big thank you to all these people whom we could not get along without. — Beth Duso THE CAFETERIA STAFF provided a vital service to the students of Hiwassee College, photo by Matthew Eng.

Its main emphasis is tutoring students who need additional preparations for their coursework. Computer disks, video and audio tapes, and one-on-one tutoring are methods of learning in the lab. Two outstanding sophomores, Kelly Jenkins and Wendy Markwood, were peer tutors. Beth Stephens, a Hiwassee alumnus and a student at UT, kept the lab open until 9:00 p.m. four nights a week. Adele Miller was the professional tutor especially in charge of inventory, computer software, and tutoring. Sheldon Upton remarked, “The tutors in the learning lab are willing to help the students if the students are willing to help themselves.” The faculty teaching developmental studies courses and also tutoring include two new teachers: Kim Frank and Marsha Wright. Barbara Inscho and Barbara Arwood, Director, also teach classes and tutor in the lab. Pat Sharp is the efficient secretary. MRS.

Many students and alumni turned out for this activity. This celebration was especially exciting for the Homecoming candidates because this was their formal introduction before the crown- ing of the queen at the Homecoming game. Sponsored by the student Government Association, the dance had the theme ' ‘Never Say Goodbye.” The gymnasium was decorated in black and pink garnish- ment with streamers and balloons covering the ceiling and doorways. These trimmings made a beautiful environment for such a special event. Tim Stamey summed up the impression of the students by saying, “It was better than last year. It did not look like i gym. I did not think it would look as good is it did!” On Saturday, the Homecoming festivi- ;ies climaxed with the evening ball games. Students, family, and faculty all gathered it the gym in anticipation of the scores of he games and the crowning of the Hiwas- — Burke see Homecoming Queen. During the halftime of the men’s game the 1987 Homecoming Court was intro- duced. Anticipation mounted. After a mo- ment of tense silence, President Curtis Schofield crowned Lisa Burke queen. Smiles, hugs, and tears were abundant after this announcement as frien ds and family congratulated Lisa. Most college women do not expect to be a Homecoming Queen candidate, much less win. Until November Lisa Burke was one of these women. After winning this title, Lisa said, “I sure did not expect to win. This is a great honor.” Lisa Eakins summed up Homecoming with this remark, “I do not think you can learn the true meaning of Homecoming un- til you become a sophomore. At that time you have friends that return as alumni to Hiwassee, and you realize that next Home- coming you, too, will be a visitor return- ing.” — Pam Morgan — Spring Weaver CANDIDATES made up the court for the 1987-88 Homecoming festivities.

It is a time for friends to get together again. Happiness and sadness are always found in the air: happiness from the laughter of friends being together and sadness from saying goodbye again until next year’s Homecoming. Happiness was definitely in the air for the Hiwas- see Tigers as they defeated Clinton Junior College (South Carolina) with a score of 124-96. Tommy Brown ( 21) led the Tigers by scoring a total of 23 points, Ray Richardson ( 33) scored 18 points while Patrick Mosley scored 17 points and Reggie Finley scored 16 points. This was definitely a great game for the Tigers! The Tigerettes were faced with Lees, who was ranked fifth in the nation. At half time the score was Tigerettes 40 — Lees 47. Tracey Williams ( 40) scored 16 points while Trina Simmons ( 34) scored 14 points. The final score was Lees 90 and Hiwassee 73 — a moment of sadness for Hiwassee because of this defeat early in the season. — Pam Morgan TRINA SIMMONS attempts two points for the Tigerettes during the 1987 Homecoming game.

Freshman Christy Alexander id, “It was better than I expected — it was n. Everyone looked great dressed up and 1 were jammin to the tunes.” Adrian Rog- s said, “It was a night of fulfilled earns.” This year’s theme was “My For- er Love” and love was in the air. Lana Jo nderson said, “I can’t wait for the Spring Drmal, my ‘forever love’ will be there so.” Glen Foley said, “The gym looked eat with all the students dressed up.” Al- ough some students had dates, there were still some there without dates. Paul Morgan was quoted, “I’m glad people went stag. It made it more enjoyable.” The climax of the evening was the crown- ing of Valentine King, Queen, Prince, and Princess. These honors went to Sophomore King Chris Shelton, Sophomore Queen Penny Moore, Freshman Prince, Jeff Browning, and Freshman Princess Nikki Hall. Our thanks to the Sophomore Class.

Chapel services were conducted by Dr. Jer- ry Russell and many special guest speakers and groups. Some of the special guests in- cluded the Knoxville College Choir, Wil- liam Bell from Spring Arbor College, and Hiwassee’s own various singing groups. One of the most remembered chapel ser- vices was the concert given by the contem- porary Christian band, Bartimaeus. As stu- dents gathered in the Butcher Auditorium, the band opened with the up-beat song called “We Shall Overcome.” As the even- ing concert progressed, not only did Barti- maeus witness to the crowd through their songs, “Jesus, I Love You” and “Carry Me Away,” but they also entertained students with their own rendition of “I Heard It Through Jesus Christ” (sung to the tune of “I Heard It Through the Grapevine.”) Because of the diversity found in the chapel programs, each student had the op- portunity to experience many unique ways of worshipping the Lord. — Peggy Hobbs — Spring Weaver LEWELL MOLEN is the lead guitarist for Barti- maeus.

These programs contained announcements con- cerning student activities, academic achievements, sports victories, and often presentations given by various organization and stimulating personalities. Some of the most interesting assemblies were centered around HOSTS leaders in- troductions, semester transitions, the annu- al slave auc tion, and Honors day recipients. Another important assembly program was given by Dr. Schofield in his annual state of the college address. Although assembly was required of all students, it proved to be beneficial in many ways. It kept students aware of the activi- ties available on campus and informed stu- dents on the successes of past events. — Peggy Hobbs — Spring Weaver V v. ) j : -Peggy Hobbs CELEBRATING DIVERSITY STUDENT LIFE 47 rf- ' n cdd � TiMr. niVCDQITV QTI IHPNIT I IFF —Wendy Markwood — Wendy Markwood The fall CSM Retreat was held at Camp Wesley Woods on October 16-18, 1987.

The play dealt with the adoption abandoned child and the trials its new guardian through to keep the child, isha. a palace kitchen maid, adopted the gover- child when his mother deserted him after his s execution. She fled with the child to her broth- erne in the Caucasian Mountains across the T u Pass. In order to keep the child, she hid from race’s Ironshirts and eventually married a dying k in order to promote the image that the child ter own. Unfortunately the dying peasant uraculously cured upon learning that the war •ded and Grusha’s true love, Simon Shashava ec to find her married and with a small child. • efforts to explain the situation to Simon were ipted by Ironshirts who came to arrest the child trrv him back to the city. Unknown to Grusha, Michael’s true mother discovered that the governor’s estates could only be inherited by Michael, and Gru- sha was forced to return and go before the judge Az- dak to prove that Michael was indeed her own child. Azdak determined that the true mother of the child would be the woman who could pull him out of a chalk circle drawn on the ground. The circle was drawn and each woman took an arm, but in the end Grusha could not pull and possibly hurt Michael. By this, Azdak determined that Grusha was the true mother and a the same time divorced her from the peasant, leaving her free to marry Simmon and raise Michael as her own child. This production sported a large cast of people, most of them playing more than one role — and that led to confusion and rehearsal problems. But the end result was a play that made people think. — Kelly Jenkins — Curtis Carden — Curtis Carden CELEBRATING DIVERSITY STUDENT LIFE 51 “WOULDN’T IT BE LOVERLY?” is the song from this scene with Michelle Gonzales, Janie Short, Paul Johnson, and Tommy Douthat.

With ilv 10 people, the cast was the smallest of iy play presented at Hiwassee in many ars. The 10 people who were on the stage ong with those backstage became a close lit group, both in and out of rehearsals, id there were close friendships and even a mance or two begun in those long even- ts of blocking and learning lines. The story of the play concerns a shy, lin young lady, Catherine Sloper, who mds to inher it a great deal of money upon r father’s death. When Morris Townsend ofesses an interest in Catherine, her fa- rr immediately assumes that Catherine’s ney is the only attraction and does every- ng in his power to end the relationship, hen all of his plans fail to change Cather- fs feelings, Dr. Sloper at last tells Cath- erine what he has thought of her all along: that she is unattractive, unintelligent, and unworthy to be loved. Morris suggests that he and Catherine elope, but upon learning that it would cause her to be disinherited leaves her waiting for him. Soon afterward, Catherine discovers that her father’s death is imminent and at last is able to stand up to him and show that she is an intelligent and worthy person. Two years later Morris returns and asks Cather- ine again to marry. Catherine agrees, but this time it is she who tricks Morris, and the play ends as she leaves him knocking at the door. The play was a great success, despite the mixed feelings about the ending. It seems that nearly everyone wanted Catherine to open the door and forgive the bum! — Kelly Jenkins Catherine attempts to smooth things out.

From that point on, we crazy college stu- dents were on our own. The First night was spent in several dif- ferent ways. Some students went via Mono- rail to explore the different hotels while others stayed at our own hotel exploring its pools, beaches, and shops. While some slept, others partied and a few of us went on to Epcot Center. The next two days were filled with Dis- ney Magic. We college students became a crowd of four-year-olds ready to play! The- days were filled with the Magic Kingdom, Epcot Center, meeting new people from other lands, sightseeing, shopping, a Poly- nesian Revue, and a surprise visit from the characters behind our hotel.

Through all the difficulties we’ve had to face, we have managed to remain a family. We couldn’t do the job that we do without the love and support of Mary Helms.” Deena Moore made this comment about the outstanding women’s group, Harmony. Michelle Gonzales commented, “I enjoy working together with people who have a common goal — to perform and entertain.” “Harmony has been a very important part of my stay here. It has influenced me to be a better person around people, and I’ve learned what Harmony really means — coming together as one,” concluded Michelle Woods. — Staff Few things stir the blood more than the rich, robust sound of men singing.

To obtain membership, a student must have a minimal 3.2 GPA and in order to remain a member, a 3.0 GPA must be maintained after initiation. Members are required to participate in service projects. Some projects that PTK was in charge of this year were three Medic blood drives, clean-up after the Homecoming dance, and a spring trash pick-up around the campus. PTK also placed some flowers and shrubs around Miss Slawson’s house, the oldest building on the campus. With the help of Dean Watson and a sponsor, the club was able to send both Wendy Markwood, Presi- dent, and Barbara Bright, Vice-President, to the National Convention in Washington D.C. — a trip that both will remember for its fun, friendships, and learning. When first inititated into the club, the new members receive a membership certifi- cate. Also, on graduation day, the sopho- more members of PTK may choose to wear the fraternity’s golden graduation stoles and tassels as this year’s sophomores did. The graduating members also received a diploma with the fraternity seal and stamp on it. PTK represents a club on campus that the student is honored to be invited into and a lasting record of the excellent perfor- mance that the student has earned over their two years at Hiwassee. It is our wish that PTK will continue in its field of aca- demic achievement and service to those in our school and community. — Kerri Pritchett Reporter — Wendy Markwood, President WENDY MARKWOOD.

So we came, we saw and yes we conquered Ever ready to face whatever came our way Endurance played a very importan t part. Come let us glance back at all that we have Experienced these past few years. The friends we have Loved and grown to appreciate. The great Expanse of characters we have tapped into, so Brilliantly mingled as well all aspired to Reach those goals we all had set for ourselves. Acquiring each single day, a step at a time. Those qualities and values which, In this life we live, will mold us. Not into nothingness, but into that degree of Greatness whereby we can all contribute to this life. Discipline was a word that became reality. Inspiration, oh how fervently we searched for it and Variety never lacked in all our daily Explorations. God indeed had Reached down amongst us yet So many times we failed to acknowledge His glory.

I walked down the aisle with my diploma in hand and headed out to face a completely different world. Had it been two years already and was this really the end of our era at Hiwassee? My thoughts were interrupted by a grab from behind and within seconds the hugging and crying had begun. At that moment I longed for nonexistence. The pain of parting seemed only to increase steadily with each person I hugged. As the hours went by I was finally brought to a place of solitude. It was then my mind started retracing the path I had trod those two years. The time I first stepped onto this campus and was met with welcoming smiles and open arms. The teachers who had taught me more than just text material but lessons which I would value always. Friends who had stood by my side through it all, the pain, the joy, the downfalls, and the victories. This breed of people, teachers, and friends I realized, I would not find again so intimately bonded together at one institution. My life would never be the same, how could it when they all tugged at my heart so? Yes, so this was what Hiwassee was really all about. I had lived and experienced that Hiwassee spirit they talked about. I realized that the Hiwassee spirit was not just something intangible, it wasn’t something that floated about with the hopes of being captured by some hero. — Susan Mazaiwana MIKE ANDERSON “HANGS AROUND” before class to wait on a friend.

HETTIE AND KIPPI sit on Santa’s lap at the Halloween dance. 132 CELEBRATING DIVERSITY CLOSING he Hiwassee spirit was that which was given from the heart by students, faculty, administration and staff. It was a genuine and pure desire to love, share, and care, nothing less than giving totally of oneself to help those around you and to be a friend to them. That was what had made this college have such an impact in my life. Yet, I remember too the pity of realizing that not everyone had grabbed hold of that special quality. But it wouldn’t have been reality had there not been the bleak side of this unique family of people who came from all walks of life. Never the less I remember that we al- ways overcame the obstacles we faced because we always stood together. I crawled into bed acknowledging that without the God that created us with such love, none of this would have been possible. This was not an end, it had been a lesson we learned and I knew in my heart that though I may be far away from all of these people, but 1 would always be a part of that unity in spirit. The Hiwassee spirit was not something terminated by our good-byes. It was an opening to facing the world with love, respect, and appreciation for this great gift of life that is far too precious to waste. To all who were a part of these two very special years in my life and above all to the Almighty, words can never fully express my love and appreciation. So go and challenge the life that lies ahead and never leave a stone unturned.

Yearbooks have been an -- part of my life since I was a freshmen in high school. As I finished this book it seemed like a : charter in my life closed. I have always loved to work on this type of production, but to say that this r-r has been difficult would be an understatement. It has been one of the most difficult but also one of the most rewarding years of my life. When I was first given the opportunity to become a part of this publication two years ago, I jumped at the chance. The chance was mine to become the editor of the HIWASSEE — a dream come true. The first year that I worked on the book I was more reserved. By the second year I wanted to produce a book that Hiwassee would long remember. As the year went along things began to happen. With the help of God, family, and friends, deadlines were met and decisions were made. The most important decision that was made was to change the color of the cover. Personally, I loved the idea from the beginning. I made a rough copy of a cover and sent it to the yearbook plant artist. With his help we designed this cover. I am very proud of this book. I am proud of the accomplishments that we made. We began with many wild ideas, a plan, and much determination — we set out to produce a book that truly celebrated the diversity of Hiwassee College. YOU decide if we succeeded. Your editor, Spring Weaver 1 36 CELEBRATING DIVERSITY CLOSING
