We celebrated happily, gaily, noisily, excitedly, for the year brings with it many examples of victory. Through it all runs a rib- bon of sturdy silence. Togetherness can ' t be ex- plained by pictures and words. It ' s best considered in the quietness of our after thoughts, once reviewing the year at Lees-McRae. To the ideas that clamor for attention amid the questions begging for answers and the lectures longing to be heard, above it all you can listen for the laughter. ' I Ac i orrlance And then, as suddenly as they had dawned, they faded into the less carefree days of study and routine and finally they were gone. Those happy days at Lees-McRae. The year had flown by. Accordance 3 A( firrUnr c St i :£a3 There were classes, labs and ball games to take up much of our time. But one thing we remember about Lees-McRae is that it was cold. Boy, was it cold! And the snow. Snow spirit. Familiar scenes. Familiar to anyone that ever attended Lees-McRae. Fall, with its registration lines, pep rallies, foot- ball, laughter in the dorms, crowds in the Student Center, classes, labs, College Programs, rainy, dreary days of Oc- tober give way to the white, fluffy stuff that blankets Banner Elk. Snow. Snow ushers in the real spirit of Lees-McRae. Sn ow is not a new facet to the life of this year ' s student body. Snow has belonged to each class that ever attended the campus in the clouds. The physical plant has changed. But not the unique spirit and life style that sets Lees-McRae apart from the other institutions Accordance 5 ■ v w And someone will inevitably ask, Where is Ban- ner Elk ' And instead of trying to explain, you tell them it ' s where you spent two of the happiest years of your life When there was nothing else to do you could watch the gold fish, play with children at the Halloween Carnival, walk in the snow, study any time and any place you could find the time or if this didn ' t satisfy the inquisitor, you could tell them, There is no way to get to the Elk from here. 6 Accordance Accordance 7 After the solitude of Winter, Spring sprung and Spring had it all: Spring Fling, Track. Tennis, and anything and everything anyone had wished for during those long, cold, winter months. 8 Accordance Accordance 9 1978 found new communications with faculty and staff. Ad- ministration opened new communication channels. Student government vowed to work with students. Administration was con- sulted about inovations. 10 Accordance Students and administrators came together to renew old policies and establish new ones. Curriculum changes responded to students expressed needs, some small but it was a small begin- ning for a great year, 1978-79. Accordance 11 We came to Lees-McRae to learn about a truth we can meet and witness. And, in searching for it we found a common bond which ties us together with more strength. Our instructors helped us to discover these truths through gentle persuasion and g uidance. Most of all, we helped each other by caring enough to give of our time. 12 Accordance Accordance 13 Lees-McRae is not all books and classes. Lees-McRae is aware of its students needs and wants. Social life doesn ' t run full steam at all times. But there are enough clubs and organizations sponsoring enough dances, talent shows, rap sessions, plays, hikes, pic- nics, banquets, intramurals, and service projects to keep every student just as busy as he chooses to be. 11 Accordanc «■ A student comes to Lees-McRae and finds a college. It is like other colleges: there are classes, football games, studies, and most impor- tantly, people. People sharing the same hopes dreams, and fears. People preparing to change, or try to change the world. Lees-McRae people know one another, they care about one another, and about their school. At Lees-McRae, students grow and mature and learn. When a graduate looks back at Lees-McRae. he suddenly realizes what he has gained there and what Lees-McRae is all about . . . caring . . . When he came to Lees-McRae it was just a college, like thousands of other colleges, but when he leaves, the memories of snow-covered Beech, gentle spring nights on campus with friends, instructors who helped make it a little easier, remind the student that Lees McRae was home and home was our college. Accordance 15 18 Academic When there weren ' t festivities like Homecoming or some other game, or egg tosses, or conversation around the fountain, or getting out of the hospital, we turned to classes and homework, term papers and themes. At the end of the year, Academic Dean James Stonesifer acknowledged the recipients of the Woelfel Award for Outstanding Instructors at Lees-McRae, Jenny Teagarden and Archie Smith. Janet Carroll won the Phi Theta Outstanding Instructor Award. Aside from the many things to do at Lees-McRae it all boils down to the pursuit of an education, to classes, and to hard work.

Advisors 41 ; BOARD OF TRUSTEES On these pages are represented the men and women of vision from all walks of life who are responsible for the programs, progress and per- petuation of Lees-McRae College. In a period of inflation and crunch on the economy, they have had to make far-reaching decisions in order for Lees-McRae to continue to serve In the Mountains, Of the Mountains, For the Mountains. Their actions represent the sincerity of the slogan, The College That Cares, governed by the Trustees who care. Mrs. Cynthia M. Kirkman, center.

Swank Park Lasting to Trustee Claude Swank 1908- 1979 TRUSTEE AND FRIEND OF THE COLLEGE f 1 r a 3fc ' ■t I | k! 2J ? 4iQ Trustee Claude Swank and Dr. Evans at a football game demonstrating their enthu siasm for the Bobcats. Before his sudden and serious illness in the fall of 1974, Claude Swank was deeply in- volved in the building projects on the Lees- McRae College campus. It was Claude and wife Eleanor who saw that the original garden was restored. While most organizations and individuals were tearing down existing buildings or ripping apart the landscapes to build parking lots, the college made a reversal of this situation. The college ripped up the pave- ment of one of its parking lots in the center of campus to re-establish the plaza-garden area which was the site of the old well, the rose garden and two clay tennis courts. Claude, who began work with General Motors Corporation in Dayton, Ohio in 1926, became sales manager in 1936 of Cellufoam Corporation of Chicago, a sub- sidiary of Johnson and Johnson. From 1940-43 he served as general manager of Johnson and Johnson and in 1943 became vice president of operations. He served as vice chairman of Johnson and Johnson International and was a member of the board of directors and on the executive committee until his retirement in 1968. SWANK PLAZA DEDICATED IN HONOR OF THE.fi LOVE. DEVOTION, AND SERVICE TO LEES-McRAE COLLEGE JULY, 1977 An energetic supporter of the programs and projects at Lees-McRae while he and his wife, Eleanor, were summer residents of Linville, Claude came on the Board of Trustees in the fall of 1972. Eleanor be- came a viable member of the college ' s Board of Advisors. Theirs was a familiar presence at college functions and athletic contests. Claude ' s devotion to and labors on behalf of the college will be sorely missed, stated President Evans. He was a tireless worker and it is only fitting that a long-time dream of ours that he made a reality should bear the names of the Claude Swanks. It ' s dedicated people like Claude and Eleanor that play such an important role in the life of Lees McRae. These friends have truly given of their time and talents unselfishly and the college will be eternally grateful. In Memoriam 45 Prior to the Mac Frampton concert the Blair Shannons were presented with a caricature of a Time cover acknowledging them as $2 Man and Woman of the Year. Dr. Evans (background) made the presentation. I Mb POCKTAH WW, J5SWS V M 46 Shannon Day SHANNON APPRECIATION DAY GIVEN An appreciation dinner was given in honor of Blair and Jeanette Shannon, members of the Lees-McRae Board of Ad- visors, acknowledging the Johnson City couple for their out- standing and unselfish service to Lees-McRae College over the years. Mr. Shannon, for the past several years, has worked as a consultant to the Lees-McRae College administration regarding the building program and physical plant improve- ments. In a ceremony following the dinner Dr. H. C. Evans, Jr., President of the college, presented the Shannons with $2 and $1 contracts. We are defying President Carter ' s price freeze and wage control by increasing the Shannons to double their contracts from last year. In a more serious vein Dr. Evans acknowledged the couple for their hard work and dedication to Lees-McRae and for their untiring and unselfish service in the many tasks performed on a voluntary basis. Following the testimonial dinner the Shannons were awarded a caricature by college artist Don Baker before the student body. jV iml P ' J m i r H; Jl M l m ■ M MM W ' V m ' Stem 4 fe a ' W 1 1 ilf Ik 1 K SADIE FAW MAKES GIFT TO LEES-McRAE COLLEGE When Sadie Faw, wife of long-time Trustee and alumnus, H. Jack Faw, heard that the carillon bells on the Lees-McRae College campus were not working, she chimed in with a contribution from money she had put away for a rainy day or her nest egg as she called it. Her husband, Jack, a graduate of Lees-McRae, had recently en- dowed the college with a chair in mathematics which, along with other financial pledges, became, at that time, the college ' s largest individual contributor. Jack loves Lees-McRae so much, Mrs. Faw stated, and I do, too, and I wanted to do something for the college myself. A dinner was given by Jack Faw at the Green Park Hotel in Blowing Rock, NC. for the purpose of honoring his wife, Sadie J. Faw, and dedicating the Sadie J. Faw Carillon Bells on the Lees- McRae campus. Master of Ceremonies was Mr. Sam Anderson, Jr., Chairman of the Board of Trustees, who praised Sadie for her kindness in using a nest egg for the purchase of the Bell System. Present were Jack and Sadie ' s children: Jack Faw, Jr., his wife and five children; and their daughter, Mrs. Betty von Kliest of Columbia, S.C., her husband and three children, including their two-week old daughter. Also, Mrs. R. E. Faw, stepmother of Jack Faw, and three of Sadie ' s sisters. Friends of the family were also present. A special couple, special to Sadie and Lees-McRae, Paul and Margaret Tufts Neal, were among the guests. Mrs. Neal is the daughter of the founder of Lees-McRae College, Edgar Tufts, Sr. Background music and special music was provided by tape recording of the Carillon Bells. Mr. Julian Heath of the English Division provided after-dinner entertainment by singing two songs. Dr. H. C. Evans, Jr., President of the college, officially dedicated the bells. Bill Farthing, Vice President for Developmental Affairs, stated that everywhere you go on campus and in the Banner Elk valley, the love that Sadie Faw has for Lees-McRae College is all around us through the glorious music of the Carillon Bells. We of Lees- McRae are so grateful to Sadie and Jack Faw. Dr. Evans presents Mrs. Sadie Faw with a plaque commemorating the Sadie J. Faw Carillon Bells. At left, H. Jack Faw.

Mr. Lafferty came to Lees-McRae in 1931 as an instructor of chemistry and physics after receiving his B.S. degree in chemistry in 1930 from Davidson College. He received his M.S. degree in chemistry from the University of Tennessee in 1935. From 1943-45 he served as Assistant Chemist with TVA in Knoxville, Tennessee. He returned to Lees- McRae in 1964 and served as instructor of chemistry and physics and cross country coach. From 1954-56 he was Dean of the College, and in 1957 he became Academic Dean. From 1958-61 he was Ad- ministrative Dean and served as acting president from 1958-59. He retired in 1961 to devote full time to his hardware business in Banner Elk. In 1974 the science wing of the Adam Bowman Building was named for the 30 year administrator and instructor at the college. The ceremony honored the former Dean of the College, E. L. Lafferty, for his outstanding service for Lees-McRae. Homecoming 103 CLOCKWISE: The many moods of a football game are depicted by cheerleader Sherri Pennell and Bobcat Kathy Efird.

OT Gong Show 109 The Lees-McRae Performing Arts Department presented At The Paradise, a musical comedy, in Hayes Auditorium. At The Paradise was directed by Dr. Janet Carroll with music direction by David Blackburn. Lees-McRae students, faculty and staff with guest performers from Appalachian State Univeristy presented the play based on the book and lyrics by Janet Carroll with music by David Blackburn. The story centered around Tinkerbell , the owner of a cafe truck stop, who is a loud-mouthed, coarse woman who daily deals with Josaphine (her daughter who is over the hill at 21), a motley crew of truckers (who form a truckers ' chorus). Leonard (a construction worker whom her daughter Josaphine loves), Arnold (the stock boy who loves Josaphine). Buford and The Dixie Cups (a revival preacher and his gospel singers). Sissy (a C-B tease known as Mack Truck Mama ), and a group of camp girls who despise camp. The story unfolds with many light, frivolous songs and ends with a bitter-sweet finale. Nash Shook and Kim Hecsacker rehearse their parts for AT THE PARADISE, while the dress rehearsal features typical action of the musical comedy written by Janet Carroll with music by David Blackburn. Above, Jesse Rollins makes a point with a member of AT THE PARADISE, while the Chorus Line get in their two bits. 1 If) Performing Arts Jenny Cole, with the lead as Tinkerbell, confronts Jesse Rollins, who plays Leonard (construction worker whom her daughter loves) in At The Paradise.

Performing Arts 111 112 Performing Arts The newly formed Lees-McRae Pep Band began this year playing for the football games. This organization became much more impor- tant to the life of the college, however, as they began playing for many other occasions. Along with the drama and choir students, the band performed in the Performing Arts Christmas Show. Along with the choir and clogging students, the band went on a tour which of- fered shows at several high schools in the North Carolina area, and which ended with a trip to Six Hags Over Georgia. These students helped urge the basketball team along as they were present at most every game, and offered the choir support with their Christmas music which they played at several area churches. They are more than a pep band, for these students have always been available for any area where a band is needed. The Girls from Camp Caramel go through their routine, while Tim Upchurch does his routine in AT THE PARADISE. The Cloggers and Chorus performed, along with the newly organized Lees-McRae Pep Band.

In the Fall, the students had just come to campus when they were asked to perform for the Board of Advisors. Since then, they have not stopped. The group has performed for many organizations from Kiwanis to an annual agnculture meeting. Not only does the entire group perform, but we have a girls ' quartet which has appeared in many areas and for many occasions. Since December, the Lees-McRae Singers have gone on the road every Sunday to appear in area churches. In March, the group, along with the band and doggers, went on a tour which offered shows at several high schools in the North Carolina area, and which ended with a trip to Six Flags Over Georgia. Along with the Drama students and the band, the Lees-McRae Singers performed for the Performing Arts Christmas Show. It is impossible to list every time this talented group has provided entertainment. Suffice it to say, they have had a busy year. This year we have done several produc- tions. The first was AT THE PARADISE, an original musical written by Janet Carroll and David Blackburn. This production was performed not only for the general public but for College Program as well. The second piece was the Performing Arts Christmas Show where drama students, along with the choir and band, presented THE CHOIR, a satire which was perfor- med at a February College Program. To end the year, drama students were in- volved in the production MUSIC MAN which not only performed in Boone, but was brought to Banner Elk for a special college program. Here, our theatre stu- dents worked with about 200 members of the Blue Ridge Community Theatre. Lees-McRae students appear on Good Morning Carolina at WBTV, along with Brad Lacey, host, David Blackburn of Boone, Lee Zeigler, Lees- McRae, Jenny Cole of Boone, Nancy McClaughtery.

Mis- takes were costly to the Bobcats who fumbled the ball eight times inside the 20 yard line as two of the Western Carolina touchdowns and one of the field goals resulted from the bobbles. LM got on the score board when Frankie Walker hit tight end Gary Mcintosh on a 22 yard pass.

LEES-McRAE SCALDS EAGLES, 16-13 The Lees-McRae Bobcats plucked a victory from the Eagle ' s nest at Carson-Newman as they scored early in the second and fourth periods and then held off the Eagle rally for their first win of the season. The Bobcats, behind the running of William Junior Brownlee. who scored one touchdown and rushed for 101 yards, had a good day offensively. Frankie Walker scored on an 11 yard run. John Gore converted the PAT after both touchdowns. BOBCATS HOLD OFF FURMAN RALLY, 21-19 Lees-McRae scored to go ahead 7-0 then fell behind 13-7 before storming back to take a 21-13 lead The Furman JVs then answered with an 83 yard march in ten plays to pull within 21-19, but the Paladins try for a two- pointer failed with 29 seconds remaining in the game. The win evened the Bobcats record at 2-2. The Cats got on the scoreboard with a 52 yard march as Frankie Walker hit Ken Thompson in the end zone on a 10 yard pass. The Baby Paladins responded as quarterback Jeff Johnson fired a bomb to his wide receiver who streaked 90 yards to pay dirt. The receiver had gotten behind the defenders and outraced the Bob- cat secondary to score the longest TD run, by the pass, in the history of Lees-McRae football. The previous record was held by two opponents: Chowan in 1963 covered 84 yards and WCU JVs scored on an 84 yard pass in 1976 against the Bobcats. Harold Thomas raced in from 1 1 yards out to put the Bobcats ahead 14 13 and William Brownlee brought the Bobcat fans to their feet with an electrifying 61 yard run. as he broke loose on the 39, but an offsides penalty nullified the touchdown Joe Curro crashed over from the one yard line to give the Bobcats a 20-13 lead and Peniston ' s kick gave the Bobcats breathing room at 21-13 with eight minutes remaining. Furman took to the airways and pulled within 21-19, but time ran out before they could overtake Lees- McRae.

Nassau was flagged 15 times for 151 yards. The officials threw the flag 37 times during the contest. Not only was Lees-McRae frustrated by the penalty but to add in- sult to injury, a Nassau back returned a kick-off 102 yards, for the! Lions second touchdown which set a new record for kick-offl returns against a Bobcat team The Bobcat ' s only score came on a Paul Peniston field goal with four minutes remaining in the first half, but on the ensuing kick-off the Nassau back took the ball two yards deep in his end zone and raced down the sidelines to give Nassau a 14 3 half time lead that stood up until the game ended.

LEES-McRAE DEFENSE THROTTLES CHOWAN, 141 2 The Lees-McRae defense shut down Chowans offensive machine on the ground and through the air and the Bobcats ' kicking game aided the homecoming cause as Lees-McRae shocked a highly favored Chowan, 14-12. The Braves were reeling the entire game from a determined Bobcat defense and a fired up offense. The Bobcats dominated the fourth period as the defense held Chowan ' s rushing game to minus two yards, intercepted four passes and allowed only three completions in 10 attempts. William Brownlee scored on a 49 yard pass from Frankie Walker and Rocky Beebe crashed over from the three yard line and John Gore added the extra points. The victory evened the Bobcat ' s record at 3-3 on the season. BOBCAT CLAW BULLDOGS, 36-21 Lees-McRae flexed it ' s muscles on offense and rolled up 176 yards rushing and 156 yards passing for 332 total yards and put 36 points on the board to defeat the Citadel JVs, 36-21. The fumble monster raised its ugly head though, as Lees-McRae fumbled seven times and lost five. The only fumble the JVs suffered turned into the first score of the game as Keith Montgomery pounced on the loose ball on the 39. Two plays later, Frankie Walker hit Junior Brownlee on a 39 yard pass to make the first TD. Brownlee set sail on a n electrifying 81 yard punt return for the next Bobcat rally. John Gore booted a 37 yard field goal and Wayne Dalton turned in a six yard run. Rocky Beebe scored from ten yards out and Gary Riner blocked a punt out of the end zone. Gore added another 36 yard field goal. The Bobcat defense stood out with Ron Doersam, Anthony Jones, Rick Crosby, Tommy Thompson, and Neal Musser turning in sterling performances. Football 163 FERRUM CRUSHES LEES-McRAE, 52-3 Lees-McRae scored early in the first quar- ter as John Gore kicked a 32 yard field goal but the Ferrum Panthers awoke to crush the Bobcats with a seven touchdown barrage and a field goal to earn them the Coastal Con- ference football championship. It was the Bobcats worst defeat in football history. Suf- fering a 52-3 shellacking at the hands of Ferrum it was the worst defeat ever recorded by a Bobcat team in Lees-McRae ' s storied football past. The Bobcats had lost 42-0 in 1935 and dropped a 35-0 game in 1936. The highest points scored previously in 1962 when the VPI JVs beat Lees-McRae 54-7.

BOBCATS HAND POTOMAC STATE 24-20 VICTORY Lees-McRae ended their season the way they began — turn- ing the ball over to the opponent. The Bobcats opened against Western Carolina JVs, fumbling eight times and losing seven. Ironically, against Potomac State in their finale, the Bobcats fumbled eight times and lost seven. The Catamounts converted three of the turnovers into touchdowns and, combined with a 49 yard field goal, was all they needed to defeat Lees-McRae 24-20. Lees-McRae ' s Joe Curro scored the first TD on a three yard run and Potomac State answered to make it 7-7. Wayne Dalton put the Bobcats ahead on a 14 yard run but a Potomac State 49 yard field goal made the score 14-10. Potomac State scored again to go up 17-14 and added another TD to make it 24-10. Paul Zdanek scored the final TD on a 48 yard pass from Frankie Walker but it was too little, too late for the Cats who ended their season 2-3 in the Coastal Conference and 5-5 on the year. ' ■•.

The WCJCC did not have a dominating team this year and not since 1970 has this occurred. After Gardner-Webb assumed four-year status and pulled out of the con- ference, Anderson College began to dominate for seven or eight years. But this season the topsy turvey league had seen any team on any given night, knock off the front run- ner. Spartanburg Methodist split with Anderson, Lees-McRae downed North Green- ville but lost to Spartanburg. Brevard split with North Greenville and Spartanburg. There was a three way tie for first place. The Bobcats were considered the best last place team ever in the league. With a 1-7 conference record the Bobcats averaged 87 points a game for a new offensive record. They averaged better than 60% from the floor after Christmas, and freshman Morris Thompson arose as a conference star, averaging 20 points a game. He got ample support from two promising freshmen, David Hester and Edward Timmons.

BOBCATS POINT TO NEXT YEAR Morris Thompson led the team in scoring with an 18.9 average in 25 games. David Hester in 27 games was second in scoring with a 15 point average and nine rebounds a game, followed by Ed Timmons with a 14.9 shooting average. Jeff Wilson had a 10.2 average to round out double figure scoring for the Bobcats. Following Thompson and Hester in the rebound department were Matt McCargo, Jeff Wilson and Ed Timmons. Timmons and Hester were the top percentage shooters from the floor. Hester hit 59% and Timmons 55%. Wilson shot 54%, McCargo 51%, Thompson 50%, and Burrell 46%. Burrell would be the only sophomore to be lost from this group of outstanding players. Freshman Jeff Wilson did everything for the Bob- cats: defense, offense, team work. Here he demonstrates his shooting ability and his rebounding ability. He was probably the purest shooter on the team. At far right. Ed Tim- mons. who spent most of his time above the basket, as he demonstrates the easy dunk. Below right, Morris Thompson knew only one thing and that was to score . . . and he did it well for the Bobcats, leading them all season. These talented freshmen were responsible for the 1979 Lees-McRae team setting a new offensive scoring record with an 87.1 average for the year. The old record was held by the conference cham- pionship team of 1955 who averaged 84.5 points per game. 174 Basketball Basketball 175 Kneeling: (l-r) Patti Herrema. Lisa Hampton. Terri Pullins.

Following three away matches, the Bobcat thinclads returned to their new facility to host Brevard College. Last fall Lees-McRae completed a new regulation NCAA meter track as part of their new athletic facility under the ACT campaign. The ACT campaign, conducted by friends and alumni of the college, resulted in six new tennis courts, a track and renovation to the football field. The new facility has a paved triple jump runway, paved pole vault runway, and a paved 60-foot radius fan-shaped jumping area as well as a six lane track. The track was christened for its initial match against a national junior college power in Brevard. The Tornadoes finished in the top ten and cross-country in the nation for the past several years and have dominated the Region X cham- pionships for the past ten years.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD STAY OUT OF SCHOOLS - HELMS Lees-McRae College President H. C. hvans, Jr. and Vice President for Academic Affairs James A Stonesifer conferred 126 degrees upon the 1979 graduation class at the Banner Elk institution. Dr. Sara Bernice Moseley. Moderator, General Assembly. Presbyterian Church. U S ., delivered the Baccalaureate Address at 11:00 a.m. and the Senator from North Carolina. Jesse Helms, delivered the Commencement Address. Helms Tells Grads . . . Helms told the forty-ninth graduating class at Lees McRae that the Federal Government had a poor record in trying to run schools. When I was young most of the good schools were public; now most of the good schools are private, like this one, Helms opened his at- tack against Federal intervention in education It ' s often said that private schools are new, and, as organizations most of them are. But it is the private schools that carry on the permanent traditions of genuine schooling. It is today ' s public schools that are new. Today ' s public schools are the first in America to be run by the Federal Government, the first to use forced busing, the first to outlaw prayer, the first to question the use of tests and measurements of intelligence and achievement, the first to conceal from parents what goes on in school, the first where teachers are in physical danger from attack by students. Federal School Record Poor It is interesting to note that from 1960 to 1974 juvenile delin- quency cases (excluding traffic) increased, per 1,000 population from 10 to 17 years old, by 86 ' 2 percent. During those same years, expen- ditures on public schools — theoretically intended to prevent juvenile delinquency, and adult cnminality which could be expected to follow — expenditures increased from $15.6 billion in 1960 to $56.9 billion in 1974, or 265 percent. During the same years, test scores on scholastic aptitude and achievement tests declined at an alarming rate. In other words, costs were up, juvenile delinquency was up. and juvenile scholastic achievement was down. That ' s the record of our public schools since the Federal Government began running them. And the worse thing about it is that the Federal action was not taken in rdance with the constitution and or the expressed will of the peo- ple of the United States. It was taken in federal courts and by the ral bureaucracy — too often with the silent consent of the Con- gress, but sometimes in direct defiance of laws enacted by Congress — and always against the known wishes of the overwhelming majority of the American people of every religion and all races. You would think 1 ' iH Graduation MM 1 m i mSmKBBF Among the distinguished guests at the Forty-Ninth Graduation Exercises were Mrs. and Mr. Robert G. Hayes for whom Hayes Auditorium is named. at left. Senator Helms that the educational establishment, the courts, and the bureaucracy do not want children to learn too much, for fear they might begin to understand what is going on in Washington and at Harvard. We have people in Washington who fear private schools — not because they are afraid private schools won ' t teach students what they ought to know, but because private schools might succeed in teaching what Washington doesn ' t want all and sundry to know. Like, how to think for yourself. Can ' t Separate Religion Education cannot be separated from religion, Helms pointed out. Certainly we cannot have schools without teaching history, and we can ' t teach history without discussing the great religions of mankind. Nor can any teacher honestly discuss such things without indicating his or her own attitude toward religion. This does not mean that every teacher must proselyte for his own denomination but it does mean that every serious school must have some kind of position or belief in God. on the nature of Jesus Christ, on moral questions, and on the power and limits of knowledge itself, which is also a religious question. Helms alerted the audience to the Federal Government ' s assault on UNC: Now it is fundamental that the Federal Government is not supposed to take a position on arguable religious matters, but, according to the First Amendment of the Constitution, is to leave such matters to the states and to the people. Those two facts — that education is necessarily concerned with religion, and that the Federal Government should not interfere in religious matters — show the most basic reason why the Federal Government should stay out of the school busine ss. UNC — Tragic Example The University of North Carolina and its problems with the Federal Government offer a tragic example of what I mean. 1 don ' t believe there ' s one soul in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, or connected with the Federal Courts, with any com- petency to run a great university. Graduation 199 Give ' Em Califano Look at the time and money spent in trying to resist the heavy-handedness of the Federal Government — time and money which could and should have been spent in continu- ing to build the quality of education at one of the greatest universities in our land. And when I think of the inordinate power of Secretary Califano, 1 become all the more per- suaded that we should have kept our canal in Panama, and set ' em Mr. Califano. Act Like Americans What can we. as individual Americans, do about all of our problems? The answer is: Let ' s start acting like Americans again. And the way to begin is by realizing that our nation ' s travai ' is the result of our having failed, for too long, to realize that our problems are manmade. The moral implications of our mistakes are obvious: We have been seeking easy solutions. We have been passing the buck to the government. We have avoided our personal responsibility. We have cut too many comers in hot pursuit of the fast buck. We have tried to pretend that the religious foundations on which our fore- fathers created this country are no longer important. We have been reluctant, even embarrassed, to get on our knees to pray for guidance. Well, our founding fathers weren ' t — and that ' s why they were successful. And that ' s why we are not. What insanity it is that we ignore the very principles that set our country apart from all other nations in history. Stand Firm Helms concluded, In a very few years it will be your generation that will be guiding the destiny of our country. You will find, as I have found, and as others have found, that you can ' t remedy all of the problems overnight. You wi discover that there are no instant or easy solutions. But you can chart a course for yourself that will forbid you to com- promise your principles. It ' s not an easy course, and you wi not always win your point. But you can set an example by standing firm. And if you stand on principle, you ' ll leave this world better than you found it. The Moderator of the General Assembly stated, I believe that ' walking humbly ' is trying to say to you and me that we must ' know who we are. ' We really know who we are. We know that we are people in need of help. We know that we are people who cannot live without the love that surrounds us and we know that if we really look back on it then we realize that there is love there available to us that helps us to understand who we are. Then we live a certain way. I am not talking about being pious, !■ am not talking about being prissy, I am talking about a deeper awareness that we walk a certain way because we know we are loved by the Creator of the universe, and we know that love comes to us through the people whose lives touch ours. We become a channel of love — love that comes through other people to us. Maybe it would be best to say to walk modestly or to walk obediently. When there is something to be done and we know in our bones that we are the only ones who must do that then somehow we face up to it and we are will- ing because of our own sense of who we are, to undertake things that are risky, to undertake things we may very well fail in, and because we know the security of the love that undergirds us. What then is required of us? To do justice, to hear the people who are saying, ' that ' s not fair, ' and, see if we can do something about it. What is required of us? To love mercy and kindness, knowing who we are. The prophet Jeremiah has this to say that helps us know in another way these very same things ' Thus says the Lord, let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches, but let him who glories glory in this — that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practiced steadfast love, justice and righteousness on the earth for in these things, I delight. ' Moderator Mosely concluded. And this is what 1 might interpret that as meaning: It is not of ultimate impor- tance how many hats you wear. What matters is how many people ' s shoes you can fill, how many shoes you can walk in, even if they have none. Remember: do justice, show loving kindness, and walk in obedience. The text of Sara Moseley ' s remarks came from the Book of Micah where the prophet instructed the people to do justice, love kindness and mercy, and walk humbly with thy God. She illuminated several examples of the church ' s involvement in acts of kindness and mercy. Graduation 201 The Pomp and Circumstance . . . 202 Graduation The Exuberant, the Somber, the Tearful.

Almighty and eternal God, Creator, Sustainer, and our Father God, Through whose providence we come into being, By whose sustaining power we live, Under whose judgment our days are measured. In awe and humility, we recognize Thy majesty, Thy holiness, and Thy wisdom, And we bow in adoration. On this special day, in this place, we remember before Thee, Lees-McRae, thankful for its growth and out- reach; saluting its past; grateful for its present; con- fident in our hope for its future. We who are Trustees, Advisors, Administrators, Faculty, Students, Friends, the Help (so essential), find ourselves in agreement on the worthwhileness of this college: appreciative of its resources: its classrooms, its library, its dormitories, its playing fields and courts, its student union, its dining halls, its good name in the memory of so many who have been here and do not forget. Help them to be loyal to its tradition, which seeks to line together a sound mind and a sound body. Stir up within them and us the willingness to bring past and present into a valid and fruitful partnership. So may Lees-McRae become even better and greater in the heart of the church which supports it, and in the hearts of men and women, who believe in linking common sense and faith, to the honor and glory of this academic family. Then, to Thee, God, they shall say: Thank you. For Thou hast helped them to do good things for Thee, and for not a few of the generations of students. And, when the end comes, Stay close, Lord, Abide with us. Amen and Amen. H H n M M M m M w n m M m M M BRUCE E. HATHAWAY, JR.

Lee, 71. 115. 116. 166. 191 We, the yearbook staff, have tried to record in pictures and prose the happenings at Lees-McRae in 1978-1979. EXCELLENTIA EST PRAEMIUM LABORIS is the slogan Wily Bobcat came up with in 1961. Being our inspiration and motivator over the years, we ' ve always listened to Wily and knowing what a cultured, sophisticated, intellectual Cat he is, we were determined to follow his advice and prove EXCELLENCE IS THE REWARD OF LABOR If we made mistakes, or inadvertently left something or someone out, it wasn ' t Wily ' s fault, it was ours. We ' re only human. We hope that the many hours of work by the On- t aroga staff has resulted in a book which can act as a source of reference and enjoyment both now and in the future. The Ontaroga is a story of what Lees-McRae has been and has become during the past year and we hope that it holds many special memories for you. 21H IntVx Acknowledgements Don Baker ONTAROGA STAFF Joyce Baker Joann Franklin Typist Typist Not Pictured: Ellen Buchanan Nollie Neill, Photographer lTT] O O O I would like to express my appreciation to the following people for their work on this year ' s Ontaroga: Advisor: Don Baker Photographers: Dm Bridges, Nollie Neill, Don Baker, Dr. Phil Teagarden Secretarial Assistance: Joyce Baker, Joanne Franklin General Staff Work: Charlene Pitman Class Pictures: Roger Biggerstaff Publishing: Delmar Printing Company and Leon Lewis, Representative Contributions: Ellen Buchanan, Freshman Class layouts; Nash Shook photograph of skiing action; Mary Lynn Frazier, help with class section; Grace Woody, class picture identification The Ontaroga is a reflection of the past year at Lees-McRae and also a reflection of the very talented Don Baker.
