To the stu- dents of Lees-McRae it is more than just a year - more than a mere passage of time. lt's the past to be held in our minds and remembered in the future. To us it has been many things - study, fun, worry and responsibility. We are ready, now, to put these ex- periences to use, to answer the challenge of the pre- sent, while we are here and when we leave. This edition of the ONTAROGA is going to tell the story of the year 1964- 65. We hope to record for you in pictures and prose the year 1964-65 at, LEES-McRAE COLLEGE WE CREATE IN OURSELVES WHAT MONUMENTS LAST M9-HY hours are Spent in the Lab iI1D1'ePa1'3ti0f1 for Class assign' A familiar banner in front of theChaffee Center reads Welcome ments.

Here students participate in the penny-pitching booth. The smell of formaldehyde and the sight of a dead shark do not discourage anatomy students Fetzer and Lansdale. Long hours are spent in the library in preparation for class. The 1965 ONTAROGA offers a written tribute to a n ument of history and time - a year. It was a year of s - 0 life, activities, learning, and people. It was a year character ized by happiness and sadness, success and failure, athle and studies, disappointments and worry. The people, h ever, made the year -- the bright-eyed, eager freshmen the confident sophomores. These two classes together v Lees-McRae and offered the foundations for the year brought it to a close -- a year in the past. There is aunity -- a oneness among the students at Le McRae. This unity is easily seen in the spontaneous expi sions of spiritual, social, and educational activities of campus life. Lees-McRae is one school -- one student body compc of unique and original individuals, each possessing his distinctive characteristics, achieving his own rewards, expressing his own thoughts. Yet,there is at Lees-Mc a harmony of purpose to acquire, to learn, to prepare meet the challenges of the role of adulthood. The students are many, constantly shifting and divi through varied classes, clubs, and curriculum. They freshmen and sophomores, each absorbed in his own l world, in the subjects he studies, and in the people he me What of the oneness and the spirit of Lees-McRae It has made each ready for future and placed him in the thi hold of life prepared.

Pritchett Instructor, Biology Mr. Pritchett, a graduate of Duke University, began work at Grace Hospital, Banner Elk, May 15, 1933, in the Laboratory, and taught chemistry to the stu- dent nurses. He taught Biology at Lees-McRae Col- lege from 1938 to 1948, while maintaining the hos- pital laboratory. He became full-time instructor at the college in 1955. He became Chairman of the Division of Science at Lees-McRae in 1964. He is a charter member of the N. C. Society of Bacteriolo- gists and member of the American Institute of Bio- logical Sciences. A radiating smile, a willingness to listen, a keen insight into human affairs, an understanding nature, and always a desire to help -- these are some of the admirable qualities that belong to this faculty mem- ber. We, with warm regard, dedicate The 1965 ONTAR- OGA to J. B. PRITCHETT 'TF' Z E.

Offering educational opportunity in a Christian environment, its faculty strives to give meaning to its belief that Christian ideals and a trained intelligence are essentials for abundant living. The de- termination of Lees- McRae is that students shall leave this Campus in the Clouds with minds agile enough to use and with character strong enough to hold. Though instruction is the primary concern of the faculty of Lees- McRae, each faculty member finds time to be a friend to his students, to show concern and give assistance to each person as an individual, and to provide an inspiring ex- ample to follow. In this way, Lees-McRae meets the challenge of providing leadership for its students. Six new faculty members joined the Lees-McRae faculty: Robert M. Arn, History, Mrs. Marie Hicks, Instructors Whittaker, Ledford, Jessup among faculty mem- bers during processional at graduation. Dean Hall, President Chapman, and Chaplain Newman pose with guest speaker, Dr. Robert E. Lee, pastor of the Redeemer Lutheran Church of Atlanta. CII Biology, D. Edward Renegar and Robert G. Newman, Bible, Charles Ramsey, Physics, and Clyde Crump, Social Studies. Mr. Royce Shingletonjoined the Student Services Department as Dean of Men. Awell qualified faculty of thirty-one members, along with the administration, devote their time and talents to the students, both in classes and in personal conferences. Col.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Chapman take time their busy schedules to entertain students, faculty, dignitaries, and of the community in their home. Colonel Chapman accepts a grant of 3500.00 from local Sears-Roe- buck Representative, David F. Marsh of Boone. Colonel Chapman upon accepting the grant, stated, Lees-McRae is very grateful to Sears-Roebuck Foundation for its interest and support. We are in- deed fortunate that leading corporations, such as the Sears-Roebuck Company, recognize the importance of higher education and are wil- ling to provide assistance to further improve private colleges through- out the nation. 1 y H 01 J 9 Through Col. Chapman's tireless effort, the col- lege has witnessed rapid growth and progress. He has been instrumental in making changes ben- eficial to the college and its students during his term as president. Many renovations and im- provements to the present facilities have taken place as well as newfaculty homes, a new science building, and a new faculty apartment building have been completed. At the present time afour- story men's dormitory is under construction. Colonel Chapman has labored diligently to im- prove campus facilities and has provided guid- ance to the young people that attend Lees-McRae College. Colonel Chapman and Vesper Speaker, Dr. Robert E.

Young White Contractor ADMINISTRATION Lees-McRae College was filled to an overflow capacity when classes began on September 16th. The College, nicknamed more than a decade ago by a Reader's Digest writer the campus in the clouds, had an enrollment unprecedented in its thirty-four-year history. Over 522 stude nts started classes for the fall semester. We have over 200 returning sophomores and over 300 freshmen, the largest freshman class in the history of the school, Mr. Leroy McCaskey, director of Admis- sions and Student Services announced at the opening faculty meeting. The 522 students were 300 men and 222 women, some of them residents of states as distant as Con- necticut and Florida. The student body continues to grow: in 1960, 325 students enrolled, in 1961, 378 students enrolled, in 1962, 403 students en- rolled, in 1963,440 students enrolled, and now there is a record enrollment of 522. Friendliness is a keynote trait of the small campus of Lees-McRae where the compact arrangement of dorms, classrooms, and faculty homes brings about a close and cordial relationship between students and faculty. Under the guidance of Mr. Lewis Hall, Academic Dean, the faculty offers sound and competent in- struction to LMC students. To its liberal arts graduates the college awards the student an intro- ductory foundation in liberal arts and permits emphasis on any one of the sciences, the social studies, or the humanities. There are preparatory studies for those who major in religion, medicine, denistry, education, engi- neering, forestry, agriculture, law, business ad- ministration, nursing, or medical records. These programs are planned for those who continue their education at a senior college. Some 60 percent of Lees-McRae graduates continue their education. A course of terminal study is provided for those who plan a career as secretary, engineering aide, medical librarian, X- ray technician, medical secre- tary, or medical record librarian. In the medical specializations, study at Lees-McRae is followed by internship in hospitals throughout the Southeast. Expenses at Lees-McRae compare favorably with those at other private colleges in the state. Mr. Charles McKinney has the difficult task of super- vising the business affairs and management of the Business Office. Under capable leadership in the administration, and through a competent faculty, Lees-McRae sets as its goal improved junior college status.

In Shap- ing our Attitudes and Values the Faculty Helped Us Lay the Groundwork for our New Way of Life. The character and reputation of a college, its standing in the educational world, the measure of its influence on those who live and study on its campus are determined in large measure by the dedication and devotion of its facultyr For us, as for many generations of Lees-McRae. students, this spirit and quality of dedication and devotion are most fully expressed in our administration, staff, and faculty of 1964- 65. Added to the physical growth of the campus is the intellec- tual growth of each individual. New ideas are received, some conflicting with old standards, some upholding previous know- ledge. No longer is our mental world bound by the small area of our home environment, but we encounter new ideas to stim- ulate new growth and expansion. Our academic world is in- volved in a new era of maturation through contact with intel- lectual stimulus. Lees-McRae provides sound academic curricula within the plan of a junior college for the purpose of developing Christ- ian leadership. Acollege education should involve four ele- ments -- development of moral integrity, a liberal education to give a richer life, broader understanding, and to bring cit- izenship into proper perspective, acquisition of technical knowledge for professional leadership, development of phy- sical fitness. Lees-McRae tries to provide all four, with interest in students as individuals -- not merely so many minds to educate. i gl . X ' , f ' CLASSES . . . 21 ANN BEVERIDGE ABBITT Williamsburg, Va.

Happi- ness, confidence, anticipation,and melancholy-- these are the sophomore. He has sampled all Lees-McRae has to offer and has the happiness of all the people, places, and knowledge. He has the confidence from his two years of experience at Lees-McRae. He anti- cipates the future -- all his hopes are nearer the time of realization. Melancholy is reflected in him too, all the pressures of the changing, outside world are suddenly upon him. Lees-McRae will always be a part of his memories-- a monument in his life.

Activities aid in the building of stronger personalities, higher ideals, and life-time friendships. When the student leaves his books,he turns to fellowship with the other students of the campus. He finds cooperation, competition, and devotion in the clubs and organizations on campus. The individual student benefits the club, while the club benefits the student. In both cases the student and the club have an opportunity to grow. Sullivanian President Pegge Kowalski talks with De- mosthenean President Clay Mauldin and Sullivanian sponsor Mrs. Shingleton. The Sullivanians and the Demostheneans co-sponsored the Christmas Dance. ASSGCIATED STUDENT BODY Guided by Miss Eleanor Osborne, the Student Parlia- ment maintained LMC's tradition of efficient student government. The purpose of the A.S.B. is to unify the student body in the common motive of self-govern- ment, to stimulate the traditions of the college, and to strengthen co-operation among students, faculty, and administration. The year's projects included participation in the orientation program, promotion of Rat Week, bus trips to away football and basketball games, and a study of means by which to improve the academic atmosphere on campus. Under the leadership of Darrell Baker,A.S.B. Pres- ident, the student parliament has sought to lead the student body in maintaining a well-rounded scope of activities. They prepared and distributed a student directory which contained every student's name, ad- dress, and telephone number as well as information about each of the clubs and organizations on campus. Through its committees, the student body assisted in many varied ways to make the academic year a successful one. It made possible many types of social events and programs, without which the year would have been incomplete. Darrell Baker, President A.S.B. T. ,QQ A ski , if - , ' - V A -lvl., :Q 'V .

ORDER OF THE TOWER One of the most outstanding service organizations at Lees-McRae College is the Order of the Tower. The pri- mary purpose of the Order of the Tower is to serve Lees- McRae and the administration in a leadership capacity and to promote the general welfare of the college. The members of the Club assist in orientation, serve as marshals for special programs and graduation, and serve as hosts for visiting groups and dignitaries. The last service rendered by each year's outgoing members is the direction of the Awards Night program. The annual Halloween Carnival, sponsored by the Order of the Tower, provides a money-making project for the Club as well as for other clubs on campus. The club promotes good relations in all areas and serves as an advisory body to the faculty.

This organ- ation serves as the core of the Student Christian ssociation and strives to promote a better spiritual mosphere on campus. The Christian Council, acting as spiritual con- ience, stimulates Christian thought, study, and rvice within the student body, challenging each ember to understand and commit himself to the way f Christ. To promote a more active Christian fellowship, e Council encourages student participation in orship services, service projects, and community elations hips . The student Christian Association includes all tudents and functions through an elected Council hich plans and co-ordinates activities for everyone. ll students attend Sunday evening Vespers twice a onth when outstanding ministers from all over the outh visit the campus. On alternate Sundays, Vespers ncludes a variety of informal, discussion-type orship experiences. Midweek worship is every ednesday morning at 10:00. Opportunities for ecreation and service round out this largely student- ed program. Witha resident enrollment of around 500 the Stu- ent Christian Association provides opportunities for he campus community as a whole to gather together n recognition and promotion of our common faith. Another focal point acknowledges the different enominational traditions. Although a plurality of resbyterian students enroll in Lees- McRae, Baptist, ethodist, Episcopalian, Lutheran, Roman Catholic, nd several other churches are represented on ampus. The Westminister Fellowship, the Episcopal utheran Fellowship, the Baptist- Lutheran Club, and he Newman Club foster their respective Christian mphasis and provide a stimulating interchange for he community as a whole. Thus, a dialogue between common cause and diversity of interpretation characterizes Lees-McRae as sound academic curricula presented in a context hich is seeking to understand and to express the Iimplications which arise out of the event of Jesus Christ. --Robert G.

WOMAN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION With emphasis on healthful exercise and enjoyment, the Woman's Athletic Association provides girls at Lees- McRae with relaxation and fun. Any girl who participates in three intramurals is eligible for membership. Variety was the keynote in W.A.A. activities for the past year. Members participated in basketball, volleyball, tennis and ping pong tournaments. The girls learned skills in their favorite sports as well as valuable lessons in sportsmanship and team co-operation. For their money- making project the girls sold yellow mums for the Homecoming game. They also provided the students and sports fans with football programs. Highlighting the Club's activities were the May Day festivities. Each year a Citizenship Award is given by the Club to a student who is outstanding in capacity of good citizenship.

Down through the years, however, it has developed into a men's leadership organization. Maintaining a C average and possessing leader- ship in some phase of collegiate activity, wheth- er scholastic, athletic, social, or religious, qualifies a boy for membership in the Demos- theneans. Initiations into the club occur twice a year. The 1964 fall induction was climaxed bya dinner in the Pinnacle Inn. The club also co- sponsored the Christmas Dance. Annual scholarships are award- ed to outstanding rising sopho- more men at the end of the col- lege year. The Club encourages the young men to participate in all colleg- iate activities and recognized those who attain high standards in their individual fields.

Contrast is the keynote of comparison of a broad dance pro- gram at Lees-McRae College. This contrast embraces not only occasion and attire, music and decor, but extends into the very mood of the affair. Almost anything is a potential occasion for a dance, from the big campus events of Home- coming and May Day to the dances after athletic events. In between are such affairs as the Sadie Hawkins Day dance, the Christmas Dance, the Valentine Dance, and the Hallo- ween Carnival Dance. 84 ' mf.-1 C Q y2'9 i': x fs x C . y 1. fie: .,,Q..a N p g fg,-ev!-rag !

This year the Class of '39 celebrated its 25th anniversary. Each class was represented as the Alumni returned to the Campus in the Clouds. Harold Ferguson's Band played pop songs from the years 1939, 1944, 1949, 1954, and 1959, as the classes celebrated their anniversaries. For weeks campus groups had been preparing for the numerous activities. As plans materialized and projects took shape, the tension increased. Tate Dormitory and McAlister Hall won the prizes for decorations. 86 'gg-417 HOMECOMING COURT Mary Hartley, sponsored by the W.A.A., emerged triumphant from a field of five candidates. Sandy Williams, Mary Maffitt, Mary Jane Wood, and Ann Jewel, the remaining four, comprised a gracious and lovely court. The Queen was crowned by the grid-iron captains Steve Tate and Freddy Walton.

Yet, it is not among those on campus who ex- cel in such sports that a new growth in physical skills is experienced. There are various opportunities for the development of physical prowess among the men and women on campus. Under the direction of Mr. Litton, Mr. and Mrs. Whittaker a varied program is presented to the students and a knowledge of the sports may be gained through active participation or as a spectator. Victory is never really easy in the sports world, and defeat many times must be accepted. At Lees-McRae we learn to accept victory and defeat gracefully. Walt McMillan goes high in the air to snare rebound. Lees-McRae regular season winners, with a 9-3 conference record, met their old nemesis the Gardner-Webb Bull- dogs in tournament play. Gardner-Webb defeated Lees-McRae twice during the regular season and handed the Bob- cats a 73-63 defeat in the tournament finals. It was the first time in a decade, however, that Lees-McRae had ad- vanced to the finals and taken a second place trophy. It was also ten years ago that the Bobcats won the Western Carolinas Junior College Conference Championship. Below left, Earnhardt drives in for lay-up during tournament action.

Fred Walton surpassed the school passing record set by Johnny Phipps in 1955. The Sensational Quarterback from Kingsport completed 83 out of 176 passes for 1368 yds. and scored 15 touchdowns. He rushed for 240 yds. in 80 attempts. Chris Maliska from Winter Park, Florida, was the leading scorer for the Bobcats with 54 points. He broke all school records with 35 catches for 697 yds. and 9 TD's. Lees-McRae completed a very dismal season with a 3-6 record. The brightest spots of the season were in the passing game that saw Freddy Walton and Chris Maliska break the existing school records, and in the pass defense de- partment where a tough secondary, headed by Arnold Freeman, Jim McGowan, and Gary Chenevey gave up only 367 yds. passing to the op- position and allowed opponents only 37 completions out of 110 attempts. The Bobcats got off to a good start by defeating conference powers Chowan and Gardner-Webb 19-7 and 20-7. They won their Homecoming game against Davidson Frosh 26- 14. They lost to the VPI Frosh 25-18 and to the Furman Frosh 14-13. These defeats seemed to demoralize the Bobcats and coupled with injuries to key players, the 'Cats suffered defeats at the hands of Gardner-Webb, 14-0, Emory and Henry JV, 16-7, Chowan, 33-265 and Ferrum 13-0. Walton, Droke, Maliska, and Frank Wright received a berth on the Sportswriters' All-Region Ten Team. Walton was honored by his team by being voted the Most Valuable and he also won Back of the Year recognition in Region Ten. The Bobcats, despite their record, gave a good account of themselves in conference play and can be justly proud of their performances. 96 The Lees-McRae Bobcats won 12 out of their last 14 games during the second half of the season and captured the WCJC Conference regular season championship for the first time in ten years. The Bobcats posteda 9-3 conference mark to take the Conference crown for the first time in the past de- cade.

Milligan College overcame a 5-0 lead by the Lees-McRae Bobcats with a barrage of 8 runs in the last two innings to defeat the Bobcats 8-5. Danny J ackins went all the way for the Bobcats and pitched up to the loss despite an 11-hit attack by the Buffalos. The Bobcats blasted Brevard 13-6 behind the pitching of Eddie Icenhour. Icenhour was the hero as he picked up the win on the mound and also blasted a three-run homer in the 7th to provide the Bobcats fire power. Lees-McRae took an early 4-run lead and withstood a Gardner-Webb assualt to beat the Bulldogs 5-3. Butch Walker drove in the first two runs of the game. Jackins was the winning pitcher.

Chapman, President Lees-McRae College One of the most unique responsiblities and greatest pri- vileges of the staff of the 1965 ONTAROGA was to care- fully examine the past,present, and as best it might the future, seeking a particular individual that has had or will have had aprofound effect on the lives of Lees-Mc- Rae students . We chose Mr. J. B. Pritchett for the dedication of the yearbook, and we feel that it is only fitting and proper at this time to acknowledge our President Colonel Max C. Chapman. The ONTAROGA Staff is confident that Colonel Chapman will be able to lead this small liberal arts junior college to her potential position of influence in the Southeast. Through his tireless effort, Colonel Chapman has dili- gently provided guidance to young people faced with the problems of making far-reaching decisions which will affect them the remainder of their lives. He has been instrumental in making changes beneficial to the college and its students during the term he has served as Pres- ident of Lees-McRae. Colonel Max C. Chapman CUSMC retiredl assumed the duties of President of Lees-McRae College in August, 1961. Colonel Chapman, the Winner of the Legion of Merit and Bronze Star Medals, came to Lees-McRae from Washington after he retired as assistant to the Director of Naval Intelligence for Marine Corps matters. Colonel Chapman, a graduate of Clemson College, also attended the Marine Corps Command and Staff School, the Armed Forces Staff College, and the British Imperial Defense College of London, England. To the man and to the great challenge that lies before him, we offer this special recognition. He and Mrs. Chapman, the former Helen Trotman of Norfolk, Vir- ginia, have given of their time and themselves unsel- fishly for the students of the college. This is a small token of the staff's appreciation. 'wi . is-sr Mrs. Chapman . . . . and friend Fluffy. Special Recognition Col. Chapman, second from right, chats with faculty as he intro duced guest speaker Dr. William C. Plemmons ,President A.S.T C to them after his address to the student body. 4 SPECIAL RECOGNITION To Academic Dean LEWIS HALL for his fair- ness with dealing with each student as an indi- vidual and for showing unselfish interest in each one of us. We wish him the very best as he takes a leave of absence from Lees-Mc- Rae to further his education. Dean Hall has been awarded a National Science Foundation Faculty Fellowship for next year in the field of mathematics and will study at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. Dean Hall has beena member of the Lees-Mc- Ray College faculty for ten years. He came to the college in 1954 as a math instructor and then in 1961 he was appointed Academic Dean of the College. Prior to his appointment as Academic Dean, he also coached baseball, girls' basketball and was an assistant coach in football.. Dean Lewis M. Hall He was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa at the College of William and Mary, Where he receivedhis B. S. Degree. He received his Masters Degree from East Tennessee State College. He is currently spon- sor of the Phi Theta Kappa, the honorary organization on campus. He also co-sponsors The Order of the Tower, the leadership organization on campus. In 1962 when the college yearbook the ONTAROGA, was dedicated to him the statement read .. . . a man who is well knovsm on the Lees-McRae campus for his cheerful smile and kind words of encouragement . . . a man who, as Academic Dean of the College, expects the students to live up to his high expectations . . . Who adds so much to the intellectual atmosphere of LMC . . . a man who strives continually to improve the scholastic standards of the college . . . He is more than the Academic Dean, more than a teacher, he is, above all, a friend. However, the highest compliment that can be paid to Mr. Hall is the fact that the many students whom he has taught in the past ten years, that have gone on to such institutions of higher education as Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and the University of North CarolinaState at Raleigh, consider him the best academic instructor in their four years of college Work. To our basketball coach, GEORGE LITTON. Coach Litton after suffering through a dismal r'-fa. football season directed the Lees-McRae College Bobcats to their first basketball conference championship in a decade. For his good natured cheerfulness . . .his competence in the field I of athletics . . . we wish to acknowledge Mr. Litton for these assets that have made him a . success as a coach. g ,, To a team that held its head high in defeat aswell as in victory . . .these men never gave up and were tough competitors. They earned Lees-McRae its first championship in basketball 4, 'I jf L, since 1955. This team, that carriedus into the finals of the Region 10 Championship, demon- ' I ' A 5 strated sportsmanship, desire, and determination. Such super-stars as Harold Earnhardt, LQ! ,,., t as-L -A ' Jim McGowan, Bob Cox, Wayne Hall, Jerry Harr, and Dickie Liddle will surely be missed. AQ '23 Y I p As an old adage states, however, there will always be next year, and returning to the squad will be All- Conference Gary Chenevey and Randy Sills, Charlie Noe, Lynn Gardner, Walt McMillan, a and Fritz Riebe. These Bobcats posted a 9-3 record for the Conference Championship and took second place in the WCJ C Conference Tournament and second place in the Region 10 I ,.,,,, p i g. Tournament. This group of men, although they missed the bid for a trip to the national tour- . nament in a 83-81 loss to Ferrum CVa.J College, were undaunted by their defeat. They set an I example that every student at Lees-McRae should follow: to accept victory and defeat grac- iously.

Just as any large task cannot be performed successfully by any one person, this publication could not have become a reality without the help of many interested people. It is to all these people that we, the ONTAROGA staff wish to express our sin- cere appreciation. Without the help and guidance of our sponsor, Mr. Donald R. Baker, the publication of the book would have been impossible. In his preparation of the layout and design of the book and cov- er are shown his talents as well as many hours of hard work. The considerate advice of Col. and Mrs. Chapman was also greatly appreciated. Through their helpful suggestions and loan of Sweet Briar College's annual, THE BRIAR PATCH, the ONTAROGA staff this year was able to present many new im- provements and approaches in the recording of the year's events and accomplishments. By using THE BRIAR PATCH as our guideline, we have attempted to give the ONTAROGA a new look. The Student Body and Faculty's understanding and co-operation with meeting the demands of the ONTAROGA staff was appre- ciated. We wish to especially thank our own members of the staff, Gail Presson, Janis Lydick, Charles Long, Kay Adams, Linda McCormick, Herman Underwood, Ed Solesbee, and Dennis Mc Abee who contributed many hours of hard work preparing the memories of the sophomore class and completing other nu- merous tasks. Our photographer, Andy Worth, deserves a special note of thanks for his continuous, superb work with pictures and his untiring efforts and co-operation in taking and, when necessary, retaking pictures. We would like to express our appreciation to everyone who was involved in the preparation of this annual which, we hope, LMC students will be proud to possess.
