Summer of ' 72 sees construction and renovation Summer on the Lambuth College campus is a season of lazy, quiet peacefulness. Blended with this calm environment is the ever-present study-atmosphere which dominates life during the regular school term. During this summer, the chapel ' s steeple was renovated, and the work on the new front gates also prog- ressed. In the social circles, the Miss Tennessee Pageant was once again held in Jackson. The pageant proved to be even more exciting than usual, as Carolyn Davis, Miss Lambuth 1972-73, took 4th place honors in the state-wide competition. Top center: Amid flashbulbs and cheers, the new Miss Tennessee, Debbie Cathey, and her court were presented at the statewide pageant held in Jackson.
