Ranger 1987 Volume 50 Kilgore College Kilgore, Texas

Page 7 text:

Yearbook presents An eclectic review of 1987 During one of the early Ranger yearbook staff meetings the inevitable questions came up. “What’s our theme going to be this year?’’ And “Why do we have to have a theme this year? Are we laboring under the illusion that someone will read it?” “Well, yeah they’ll read it if it’s worth reading,” followed. It’s true that a theme, the use of a particular phrase, word, idea, design, etc., judiciously scattered throughout the book tends to unify, clarify and make a more interesting presentation. “BUT WHAT WILL IT BE?” The staff needed help. Brainstorming began in earnest. So, we thought, Kilgore College students have so many choices from so many activities of college life. “Choices” sounded good, but overworked. Students are involved in a myriad of activities ranging from the basics of math, science and literature to horseshoeing and flower arranging. And think about all of the technical vocational and professional programs. And the Kilgore College experience doesn’t begin and end with academics, either. There are almost 50 social, professional, and religious clubs and organizations on campus to join. “Yes, there is such an eclectic array of activities and events... .to...be...ummm..,” one thought out loud. “That’s it!” “What’s it?” “AN ECLECTIC REVIEW OF THE YEAR!” “What’s eclectic mean?” “I’m not sure. Look it up. But I think it means having many choices.” That was a close definition. The Kilgore College experience involves a large group of eclectic activities and events. That is to say, we believe that at KC students can choose the best of the best from many areas of participation. A theme was born and the 1986-87 Ranger staff chose from a large collection of happenings this year what we think is an eclectic or best of the best representation between these covers.
