3 Q of DR 'radford Crain Receives Warm 'Welcome Home' ne of the most candid greetings of the inaugural ceremonies of Bradford L. Crain of Lees-McRae College came from John Wilson, representing the faculty, who stated, This is sort of strange, like walking into someone's house and welcoming them homef' Wilson was referring to the fact that Dr. Crain has been here since February and had made tremendous strides in directing the programs and policies of Lees-McRae College since his arrival. We hope this inauguration will stick, Wilson went on. We don't want to do this again for a long time. As they say around here,stay with us. Bradford Lee Crain and his wife, Alice, left, stand together during inaugural ceremonies. James Garland, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, swore in the tenth president of Lees- McRae College. 2 - Inauguration Academicians from scores of educational institutions followed a kilted bagpiper through the Lees-McRae campus Friday morning, September 20, on their way to celebrate the inauguration of Bradford L. Crain as the college's tenth president. Trustee' Chairman James Jick Garland swore in the new president and presented him with the schoolis medallion and charter after a dozen greeters from the localcom- munity, alumni, student body, faculty, advisors and trustees praised contributions they said Crain had already made to the 85-year-old institution. Friday morning's inauguration was the culmination of a week of special activities held on campus to celebrate the event. In the words of Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees John Jack King, He hit the ground running and hasn't stopped yet. ,Crain called' upon faculty members to join in a grand partnership with me as 'we imaginatively and with faith carve our institutional aims into these mountains. - I-Join in a grand - Partnership I -. s-is - - 'L ,.,...as. gg... 1 Ns.- Ti Fi .t's like walking into someone s house and welcoming him home. I - John Wilson We are thankful, Dr. Crain, that you have chosen to be with us and work among us. There have been a lot of changes so far, and we've looked at these new things that happened fthese changesj. It's sort of like looking back on Vatican II. There were a lot of sweeping changes in the Roman Catholic Church at Vatican II. And as these were evaluated and analyzed, Pope John XXIII made this statement: 'This is what we intend to do. We intend to let in a little fresh air.' And, Dr. Crain, we've breathed the fresh air and we are enthused with new vigor and vitality and we are ready to go into the future. And, as we look into the future we have some hopes. One of the hopes is that this inauguration will stick. With all the fun and excite- ment and the honor of the whole thing, we don't want to do this again for a long time. We have another hope. This hope is found in Paul's second letter to the Corinthians, a familiar passage where it says that all Christians are to be agents of reconciliation. Our hope is that you will, as you work and lead us, join us together into a community with a common purpose and a unified mission so that when people leave Lees- ,McRae College they may experience success and will, very definitely, because they have been' here, go into the world with peace and spread some unity and be themselves aides of recon- ciliation and understanding. - Dr. John C. Wilson The Reverend Clernen ts E. Lamberth, Stated Clerk of Concord Presbytery, gave the inaugural prayer. Banner Elk attorney Edward R. Hardin sang the opening anthem, and Dr. John Wilson delivered greetings from the' faculty. There is an air of excitement in our college because We know where we are going. Not every college is so fortunate as We. We know where we are going, in part, because we understand and cherish where we have been. , -Bradford L. Crain Inauguration - 3 nvocation by DeWitt Farabee,Jr-, Pastor, Christ United Methodist Church, Lehigh Acres, Florida: On this occasion of the inauguration of Dr. Bradford Crain as President of Lees-McRae College, we recognize that You have created us to seek You, to love You, and to find our identity within the family of Your faithful people. We join together on this special occasion, in a setting of beauty, with scholars, friends, the community of learning, the students in this place to re- joice in the celebration of a new beginning . . . we pray that You will endow Dr. Crain and all who share with him the re- sponsible and significant task of learning, loving and living in this place, the full measure of Your grace upon them, and through the inspiration of Your Holy Spirit, direct them. For some of us, we have had the privilege of his person, his mind, his friendship, his understanding, and his skills. Today we re- joice that he has a large company of friends with whom he may share his talent and his work and his witness. In this new beginning, we celebrate, Oh God, the opportunity to live, to love, to grow, to share and care. Grant that on this occasion the vision of the past, the dream of those who have received it, will be renewed in this place today. Amen. t is a real privilege and honor and with great humility that I stand here representing those two great bodies of people that love Lees-McRae. About the time that Lees-McRae was be- coming Lees-McRae College, Archibald Rutledge wrote a little book entitled Life 's Extras. In that book he said that, 'Creation provides us with two things, necessities and extras. The necessities are light and water, shelter and food, but the extras are those things that make life special.' The other things, like spiritual qualities, the assurance that God loves us, the beauty of our mountains, the beauty of our own rhododendron, the laughter of children, the beautiful sun- rises and sunsets we have, and that extra of Lees-McRae College and what it means to us. But we, the Advisors and Alumni, are especially proud to welcome here two of life's very best extras, Brad and Alice Crainj - Roma Melton, representing the Lees-McRae Alumni and Board of Advisors he cornerstone of our continued freedom is a well- educated and enlightened populace, people enlightened enough to know how privileged it is to be involved, and not only know, but to make that involvement a contribution to the brotherhood of all. Without energetic leadership at our institutions of higher leaming the operations of towns, counties, states, and indeed our nation, will become more difficult and more inefficient. Education supplies a part of that process. I greet you, Dr. Crain, on this auspicious day and wish you creativity and energy in yolu' work for Lees- McRae College and for our nation. - David Tate, Mayor of Banner Elk, representing public officials hen Dr. Crain arrived last February I'm not sure the students real- ized the type of person Lees- McRae College was getting as president. But in two short weeks Dr. Crain had made a trip toievery dormitory on campus and they found out that this man cares about every aspect of student life. He cares about how each of us feels about the college and has instilled in us a feeling of pride. He wants to make Lees-McRae a major force among junior colleges. As stu- dents we feel that for a college the size of Lees-McRae to be successful the student should not be a number but a person. Since Dr. Crain has been here he has taken that philosophy and made the student feel he has his own identification. Dr. Crain is a special person to all the students and while he has been president the special feeling of togetherness that he has brought to us will make Lees-McRae the special place that it is. - Kirk Hitt, representing the Student Governme. tAssociation 4 - Inauguration is with a feeling of very deep pleasure and pride that I welcome you to the ceremony for the tenth president of Lees- McRae College. We are pleased and delighted to have each of you present this morning. This is an historical day in the life of the college and in the life of Dr. and Mrs. Crain. What events led up to this special day? In the early part of 1984 the ninth president of Lees-McRae College, Dr. H. C. Evans, Jr., passed away after serving this college well for over seventeen years. In May of '84 the Board of Trustees appointed the Presidential Search Committee of twelve members. Many meetings were held from May to December of that year with all members present. Two hundred and ten applications from 35 states and one foreign country fEnglandj were received. All resumes were reviewed and carefully studied byeach committee member. Ten finalists were selected for personal interviews and all were very impressive. The committee selected the number one candidate of the ten finalists and then recommended that the Board of Trustees have a special called meeting in December to hear the report. Dr. and Mrs. Crain were present at that Board meeting. The Board approved the committee's selection and Dr. Crain reported for duty 011 February 1, 1985, running hard and still running hard. It was a highlight of my life and a real joy to serve as chairman with such a Christian, dedicated and hard-working committee who gave so many hours to bring a new president to Lees-McRae College. I feel so proud of and close to these people Iwould like to introduce them to you.

' x Inauguration - 5 anford: More to Education Than Can Be Learned From Terry Sanford, former Governor of North Carolina and President of Duke University, told the crowd gathered at Lees-McRae College that there is more to education than what students may learn from textbooks. Sanford delivered the pre-inaugural address at Hayes Audi- torium at the college as part of celebrations for the installation of Dr. Bradford Crain as the new President of Lees-McRae. A former presidential candidate, Sanford stated when asked about the up- coming Senate race, I prefer not to say anything about my future political aspirations as I don't want to confuse something like that with this sort of great event. In Sanfordis opening remarks he stated, I am especially pleased to have an opportunity to be here with Bradford Crain whom I,ve observed and learned about and I believe that his intellect and integ- rity, his energy certainly have im- proved society wherever he was. I am sure that he will carry on here at Lees-McRae in the same way, contributing so much by his pre- ence and his drive and by his energy in carrying on the enduring pur- poses ofthe college. Looking back on the origin of Lees-McRae it certainly is a story of vision, a story of faith, deter- mination, a remarkable achieve- ment, and certainly it is an inspira- tion to any church-related private institution to see what Lees-McRae has done from the audacious be- ginning that Edgar Tufts brought to this institution. . . . and certainly for eighty- five years this rich heritage has been rewarded in so many ways by the faith and effort that gave it birth in the first instance. Iam sure now that with the guidance of President Crain we can be assured that Lees-McRae will continue to be a treasured part of the factor of private higher education in North Carolina. And that its influence, I know, will be felt far beyond the borders of North Carolina. In a day when there are those who question the value of higher education, often measuring it as they measure too many elements of our society, chiefly in economic terms by income earned on time and tuition invested, colleges such as Lees-McRae have continued to reach out to young people, to spark their ambitions and to en- courage their students to raise their sights, to strive for excellence, and to dedicate themselves to the highest personal and professional goals. Isuspect it is a good financial investment but I know it is an in- valuable human investment. Lees- McRae is dedicated to the concept 6 - Inauguration of a liberal education. That means an enhancement of the mind and spirit, not just the stuffing in of information. Sanford said that a college should prepare its students to make changes in the world and students should be asked what they plan to do to solve some current problems, such as malnutrition and poverty, and what the U. S. could do to eliminate the world's feeling of despair. Answers to these and other similar questions are part of education, the former governor said. It is the student's vision that your college has been and is concerned with. It is the life of students, properly guided by vision, bringing fulfillment to living that is Lees-McRae's purpose. Lives make a difference when when they are lived to a standard and the standard is also the measure of a liberal education. The en- hancement of the mind and spirit I am suggesting, without attempting fully to define liberal educa- tion, is not much if it does not include the history and the philosophy and the ambition to make its graduates, lives useful to others, not just to themselves. X i Textbooks I The inauguration of President Crain is a notable and historic time in the life of Lees-McRae and in Sanford said he was asked during activities that preceded the address what advice he would give the new president. I had been walking around the campus with Dr. Crain and I could see him stopping and talking to the students. He doesnit need any advice from me. He knows what this is all about, he said. education and religious influence. s Fl f-I s LMC Board Chairman Jick Garland, Dr. Sanford, Dr. Crain, and Hugh Morton.

Having worked closely at your side as a fellow teacher and co-laborer in the area of duties' of the academic com- munity that we took upon ourselves, and having observed with interest and affection as you climbed to this moment, I can speak with some authority about your concern for the pur- poses of these assembled delegates and guests. Having wit- nessed your concern for academic integrity, for Christian higher education, for families and for the community, both within and beyond the walls of the university, I can greet you with appreciation for your stand. We come today repre- senting our colleagues from many parts of this nation to greet you, not at the beginning of a great career but at this solemn moment in the continuation of your pursuit of those ideals for which we also stand. Our greeting holds within it the hope that Lees-McRae College, under your leadership, will prove the faith of Cardinal Newman that good is not only good but reproductive of good, that Lees-McRae,reacting to your inspira- tion, will be for all those touched by it not only excellent, beautiful, and desirable, for its own sake, but that we may watch in years to come as it overflows and spreads the likeness of itself all around. We pledge you our good will and wish you Godspeed. - Dr. Bryan Gillespie, representing the Delegates and Guests MacLeod Borders Williams Crain Stephenson i..

We read: KThere was a man sent from God whose name was John.' As we look at so many important happenings in the providence of our God we realize that we can borrow that phrase, there was a man sent from God to Banner Elk who wrote, 'When 'twas the Holy Spirit cameflnto my heart with quick 'ning power!And set aglow a sacred flamefl cannot tell 1 the day or hour,!But this I know: the work begun!BS' Thee will never cease nor wane,fAs long as God 's immortal SonfAs King of Kings, shall live and reign' Edgar Tufts, after one year of seminary and training at Hampton-Sydney, came to this area in 1895. M'And who of us, looking back over the ninety years since that time, would not agree there was a man sent from God whose name was Edgar Tufts. It's amazing how he, with his Miss Bessie, formed a team, obedient to the grace and will of God, where dreams became a reality, and the nudgings of God, and the response of that servant of God, are seen about us: a hospital that was needed, a church toproclaim the word of God, a children's home reaching out to say We care, an institution of learning that was later to be- come our beloved Lees-McRae College, The College That Cares. And we believe also in God's providence which is still at work. We believe that this college's most recent Presidential Search Committee and the Board of Trustees will agree that God is at work and was and is at work in the choice. There was a man sent from God whose name was Brad. And to his family, to Brad himself, welcome. May God's rich blessing' accompany your pilgrimage as president of this institution. - Angus R.

Melton i l t is my personal honor and privilege to bring greetings from those institutions known as founda- tions. On this day, foundations throughout the land rejoice with this college community on the occasion of the inauguration of Brad Crain as the tenth president of Lees-McRae College. Those foundations committed to the support of the highest quality of education appreciate the commitment of this institution to those same intrinsic qualities of excellence. My knowledge of Dr. Brad Crain, having served with him in years past, gives me the assurance that this excellence in all aspects of the educational process will permeate every aspect of his leadership and his administration. With his commitment to excellence, his deep and abiding Christian faith, and his love of students will serve this institution well. On this particular day of rejoicing and celebration, however, there must also be a time for selective admonition. President Crain, it is almost a certainty that your knucldes will grow a ripe, rosy red from repetitious rapping in pursuit of that elusive founda- tion dollar. My admonition to you this morning, Mr. President, is don't despair, someone is there, just keep knocking. Gillespie - Dr. George Borders, representing Foundations Inauguration - 9 William H. Wilson, Moderator of the 197th General Assembly, Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., ad- dressed a capacity crowd in Hayes Auditorium and told the honored guests, faculty, trustees, and stu- dents that he wanted to offer a better understanding for the total church which is now called the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A. The church is a peculiar in- stitution, Wilson stated. A lot of you out there, no doubt, have noticed this peculiarity, its strange- ness. But beyond these, and just as peculiar, the church is also unique among institutions to which we belong. I want to hold before you this uniqueness. When we keep well in mind the special character- istics that set us apart we will be far more faithful unto the Lord and more useful to the world. The church is called to feed the hungry, to give drink to the thirsty, to work for justice and peace. We can't be the church, finally, without doing these good works. But this is not what makes the church unique? Wilson compared other organi- zations and groups that share these goals and ideals and stated that the church cannot claim these ethical commitments as something that makes it unique. But, instead, what makes the church unique is the Gospel, the Good News. It is in God's grace that we are loved, we are forgiven and that God will use us to make a difference in the world. The Gospel, which is the uniqueness of the church, is what we need today. After illustrating the ways the church is called to announce to its people to use their gifts, Wilson stated that, Basically we are to proclaim the Good News about what God has done and is doing with you and me and each and all of us, that we are giftedhborn ser- vants and children of God, who in God's forgiving grace can make a difference. The Moderator of the Presbyterian Church is a person who is elected by the Presbyterian Church to serve as its head as far as moderating the work of the church during its needs. - O'dell Smith Wilson concluded, All these summons to service, to work for justice, and all the rest will fall on deaf ears and dead hearts with- out that Gospel. Even if we do respond with good works we won't last long. Weill burn out. But with the Gospel at its center God makes us unique, held in the spotlight of our attention and the church can be a splendid service used in the full range of gifts that God has pro- vided to do His kingdomis work, to build up the body of Christ in love so that we move out toward Christ who is our future. 10 - Inauguration S erving The World Emphasized Berea College President John Stephenson, who nominated Crain for the presidential post, said, Edgar Tufts built a school here before Avery County was founded, at a time when the illiteracy rate in the North Carolina mountains was only exceeded by that of Eastern Kentucky. The winds of change continue strong in this high place. The population of the area is now utterly changed and with all the change Lees-McRae has changed, too, and will continue to change. The only question is how to remain true to its sense of mission. fcontinued, page 14j I Winds of change continue strong in this high place . . .

The Symposium on Christian Higher Education had an array of distinguished panel members who are con- stantly on the ufiring lines of Christian higher educa- tion. Clyde Robinson did his undergraduate work at Davidson College and his graduate work at Union Theological Seminary in New York City. He is the Administrative Coordinator of United Ministries in Higher Education. Mr. Joseph Grier is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and received his Doctor of Jurisprudence from Harvard University. He is an elder in the First Presbyterian Church in Char- lotte. He is chairman emeritus of the Board of Trustees at Queens College. John Kuykendall is a graduate of Davidson College, Union Theological Seminary in Vir- ginia, Yale Divinity School.and'has his Ph. D. from Princeton University. He is President of Davidson Col-1 lege.

The keynote speaker, Cynthia Tyson, came to this country as a Fullbright Lecturer at the University of Tennessee. Her degrees, including her Ph. D. in English Literature, are taken from the University of Leeds. She is President of Mary Baldwin College. Higher education in many forms towers over every other enterprise in the church's mission as the place where more people and mission dollars are invested every year than any- where else outside of congregations. We are in colleges that historically have a purpose, have a mission, and it is that education is essential to the nature of the church. In the institutions of higher education and among the people who labor there, the church must attempt to make sense of Chris- tian faith to women and men whose vocation is the light of the mind viewing and interpreting knowledge from a Christian perspective, and, in faith seeking to understand the physical world, human nature, in the mind of God. -Dr. Cynthia Tyson At left, delegates assemble for inaugural'ceremony.

Crain hope this means that I can stay awhile. fSaid as Crain pointed to the new medallion placed around his neck by the Chairman of the Board of Trustees. J I once saw a cartoon that showed two men talking, the one saying 'Show me a man with his feet on the ground and his head in the clouds' and the other man replying, 'And I'll show you a man with a 2,000- foot insearnf Today I feel like such a man - both feet firmly ,planted ,- head touching the clouds and dreaming the collective dream that is Lees-McRae College. Greeters, I thank you. I appreciate your kind words - and to those of you who know me best I appreciate your creative uses of reality. Wasn't it Tallulah Bankhead who purportedly said: 'To hell with criticism. Praise is good enough for mel, Mr. Chairman, with enthusiasm and confidence I accept the challenge, the responsibilities - and the joys - that I ah'eady know are part of the job of serving as president of Lees-McRae College. As I do so, I invite and encourage the Trustees, the Faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends of the college to commit their full energies and imagination as well to serving in a grand partnership with me insuring not only the survival of our college but its continued renewal and growth toward excellence. Isaiah 40:31 - 'But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eaglesg they shall run and not be wearyg they shall walk and notfaint. 12 - Inauguration Mr. Chairman, Mr. Vice Chairman, distinguished platform guests, faculty and staff of Lees-McRae, Trustees, Advisors, honored guests and delegates, dear friends and family: In my professional career as an educator, I have heard four inaugural addresses and have read several others. As a somewhat obscure Subgenre of literature, inaugural speeches are intimidating by their erudition, by the very weight of their importance. Each speech with which I am familiar brought into focus the accumulated history and the envisioned future of that parti- cular college, often in the context of the current trends in higher education. And by virtue of the office,each presidential speaker was appropriately humbled and filled with under- standable pride - sometimes simultaneously, sometimes sequentially but always in combination. As I stand before you now, I understand the paradox of those competing feelings. And I understand the impossibility of marshalling together words to express all that this occasion demands. In the face of the impossible, I hope you will permit me some very personal reflections. I If you see a turtle resting on top of a fencepost, you know he had help getting there. I This has been a special week for me and for the college. So much has been done by so many that, were I to try to thank each person, I would surely miss someone and bore everyone. So may I say simply that the campus sparkles, the food has been delectable, the planning has been sensitive and precise, the programs filled with joyful noise, song, dance, prayer, purposeful talk, laughter, fellowship, flowers, and fun - a true celebration of our becoming new again. To all who made it happen, I thank you. To the community of Banner Elk and the surrounding area - you have welcomed me and my family warmly - even as we arrived here in the depth of winter. As some wag noted, it was so cold here this past winter that it got all the way down to celsius. The beauty of our community is ,knatehlessg There have been evenings as I walked from office to home when the stars and the lights of Beech Mountain touched each other, truly bringing the heavens to earth. And daylight scenes - in any season - snatch one's breath away: rime ice shimmering on trees matted against skies of Carolina blue - lush summer greens, washed clean by rains - and fall richness of colors that make Van Gogh's mad canvas experiments seem timid indeed. As Thoreau wrote: 'It would be no small ad- vantage if every college were thus located at the base of a mountain - Some will remember, no doubt, not only that they went to college, but that they went to the mountain? And, from my very personal perspective, it's good to live in a place where the word 'bald' is used as a noun meaning a place where rhododendron no longer grow. To my friends and my extended family - some of whom have journeyed far - your presence fills me with joy. To my mother who is here and to my father who is too ill to travel but who, I pray, will see this ceremony on .videotape - and to the Trustees of Lees-McRae - I thank you for nurturing me and for allowing me to be here today. To my children - Bruce and Emily g- I want publicly to say that my love for you both has been a great stimulus to my professional growth. And your love for me and pride in We know where we are going because we cherish where we have beeng we place value on memory and imagination, the past and the future. The two greatest gifts, I believe, that we can give our stu- dents are roots and wings: roots for understanding our heritage and wings for discovering our future. my accomplishments have turned my accomplishments into our accomplishments. Being the child of a college official is not easy, I know. In a book describing the lives of various college presidents, families, a book kindly lent to us by Jane Stephenson, was the story of the young children who made some use of the fact that their father was the president. Four or five-year-old twin daughters ofthe president were over- heard making the comment, 'We can do whatever we want, our daddy's the presidentf Their mother told them: 'Don't say your daddy's the president? At a party for new faculty members, the children were asked, 'Isn't your father the president?' and they replied, 'We used to think so but Mommy says he isn't.' A To Alice - my wife, my counsellor, my dearest friend, sine qua non fwithout whom nothingj - I know that all com- pliments to me during the last 22 years have simply been praises for you momentarily deflected. Nathaniel West had one of his characters say: 'She made him feel that when she straightened his tie, she straightened much more.' Alice makes me feel that way. John Stephenson shared with me a comment made by Alex Haley when he delivered the commencement address at Berea last spring. The comment was this: If you see a turtle resting' on top of a fencepost, you know he had help getting there. To all of you who influenced my life in large ways and small - I appreciate your help in hoisting me onto this fence- post. And I ask God's guidance as I go about my work. We have long been known as The College That Cares . . . we care enough to have Lees- McRae merit being called Simply the Best. Lees-McRae College has a particular genius. 'It is the genius of Edgar Tufts and those who followed him. Reaching back to the dreams and vision and dedicated work of generations of men and women, our genius has been long-nurtured. It is a genius for caring about people and for caring about quality. When these two elements get together - people and quality - all kinds of exciting things happen. We have long been known as 'The College That Cares.' And that title fits us well. We care enough to provide coun- selin and academic advisement services for each student on an i1 dividual basis. We care enough to exert massive efforts so that our students have every chance to succeed academically, rather than fail. We care enough to foster a campus environ- ment aimed at giving opportunity for our students to grow in soundness of spirit, mind and body. In short, we care enough to have Lees-McRae College merit being called 'Simply the Bestf Today there is an air of excitement at our college because we know where we are going. Not every college is so fortunate as we. We know where we are going, in part, because we understand and cherish where we have been. The two greatest gifts that we can give our students are roots and wings: roots for understanding our heritage and wings for discovering our future. What makes us so confident of our future is, in fact, our past. Our past is important to us. But as Lewis Carroll noted: 'It's a poor memory that only works backwardf We must develop a special quality of perceiving - a quality that gives us a nostalgia for the future. We must seek elegant solutions to our pressing problems of the present. Such solutions demand that we avoid the redundancy of simply copying the the past. Rather, we must adapt the beauty of the past to our present needs - and, in the process, make our new designs uniquely our own. 'Imagination is the beginning of creation,' said George Bernard Shaw. And he continued, 'You imagine what you desireg you will what you imagineg and at last you create what you will.' At Lees-McRae, there is no dearth of imagination, will power, and creativity. Here we have a community of fine minds - but not the sort of minds that T. S. Eliot accused Henry James of having when he wrote: 'He had a mind so fine that no idea could violate it.' Ours are working minds, tolerant minds, minds with convictions but free of stubbom arrogance, minds like those that have wrought this school out of chestnut and stone, minds dedicated to service and love, minds determined to impart what Alfred North Whitehead called the major aims of education: The giving of 'an intimate sense for the power of ideas, for the beauty of ideas, and for the structiue of ideas, together with a particular body of knowledge which has peculiar reference to the life of the being possessing it., And at Lees-McRae, education takes place in a context, not in a vacuum. That context is deliberately Christian, no accident about it. It is as deliberate and as solid as that stone pulpit in our Presbyterian church. That stone reaches down to the bedrock and rests there. The stone I'm told came from Beech Mountain - that peak that aspires to heaven. Indeed, the symbolism is essential: The pulpit reaches down for stability, aspires upward for faith and has a Bible resting on it. All are fitting symbols for Lees-McRae as we imaginatively, with faith, carve our educational aims into these mountains. E. B. White once wrote, 'I arise each morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.' Conflicting desires can make a powerful obstacle to planning and executing. But such conflict can also be a powerful motivation. Why must we choose and eliminate when we can combine and encompass. Mae West once said: 'When choosing between two evils, I always like the one I've never tried before.' Alternatives can be dangerous. I remember a cartoon that showed two experi- mental laboratory rats observing a third rat jumping for joy - the caption read: 'He's just been transferred from tobacco research to alcohol researchf But alternatives can be com- bined. That is one challenge of education today - to combine service and esthetics, the dignity of the labor of mind and the labor of hand. Education must develop leadership that copes successfully with ambiguity and paradox - because that is our reality. Such leadership pulls strehgth out of weakness, re- sources out of meagerness, faith out of despair, confidence out of fear. But the confidence is always moderated. Our challenge is not to find absolute certainty or to choose between improving the world or enjoying it.A Our challenge is to qualify our minds to think justlyg our challenge is to find pleasure by improving the world, our challenge is through education to recover in our souls a kind of radical innocence borne of clarity of purpose and characterized by courtesy coupled with courage, intellectual fervor tempered by grace, honor, kindness, imagination and - above alla- humility colored by understanding. As Tom Robbins has said - There are no weird people in the world - only those who need more understanding than others. In closing - G. B. Shaw wrote that 'Anybody, almost, can make a beginning. The difficulty is to make an end - to do what cannot be bettered., Edgar Tufts made what Terry Sanford termed 'an audacious beginning? It is our solemn trust to carry that beginning forward, to do what cannot be bettered. Inauguration - 13 is kim ii Dr. Crain and Dr. Tyson pose following the Symposium on Christian Higher Education.

Dubuy, Director of the Soldiers' Chorus, poses with Dr. Bradford L. Crain, Lees-McRae President, during inaugural week activities. The United States Army Field Band delighted an overflow audience in Williams Gymnasium as the opening performance for the weekis inauguration activities at Lees- McRae College. The Field Band is composed of the Army's finest soldier-musicians. Many have studied in the country's leading conservatories and schools of musicg many have performed with major symphonies and leading dance orchestras before entering the service. The band's concert repertoire appeals to all audiences, offering classical, semi-classical, and popular selections, choral arrangements, novelty numbers and military marches. The program .was a stirring mix- ture that helped all those in attend- ance to reflect not only on the per- formance but on what it means to be an American. Following a patriotic prologue and several classi- cal renditions, the Soldiers' Chorus introduced several songs from My Fair Lady, and the program con- cluded with a stirring rendition of The Battle Hymn of the Republic and the patriotic march - Stars and Stripes Forever. The last of three standing ovations for the band brought the group back for an encore of When the Saints Go Marching Inf, The Soldiers' Chorus, an integral part of the band, performed at an 1.1200 a.m. Tuesday concert in Hayes Auditorium. With Dr. Crain's interest in literature it was appropos that the group presented three madrigals with text by William Shakespeare and two selections from Frostiana: A Girl's Garden and Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening from texts by Robert Frost. Selections from The Barber of Seville were presented and the pro- gram's tone changed with a spiritual entitled Ain't Got Time to Dief' featuring tenor Sergeant First Class Jonathan E. Brown. A salute to Duke Ellington was made in the arrangement offered of the haunt- ing classic Mood Indigo. The Chorus concluded its program with the light, top-tapping, finger- snapping rendition of Save the Bones for Henry Jones. 'Sf fellow faculty member at Lees-McRae and as the son-in-law of a woman who attended fthe then Lees-McRaeJ high school and later the college and a man who was in charge of the college's business affairs for many years . . . I speak as a friend of the com- munity and the region . . . and, of course,I speak as a friend of Dr. Bradford Crain, distinguished graduate of Berea College, humanist, teacher, scholar, and academic leader whose many distinguished qualities have led him to his present achievement. I might say that while Berea cannot take credit forpall of Dr. Crain's fine qualities, many Bereans' are pleased that they might have had some small part in nurturing the excellence they could see in him early. Bereans are pleased that Brad Crain has taken the leadership of a college which has so many parallels with our own: a strong sense of Christian mission, a history of edu- cational service to the Appalachian region, a faithfulness to the past which still allows it to embrace an altered future. Dr. Stephenson continued, This institu- tion has seen almost epochal changes during its lifetime. The boarding school which was the foundation for the establishment of the college was here before Avery County was created. In the early days before the founding, good education in this area was not readily available . . . yet there were un- daunted souls who were challenged by what they found here . . . Edgar Tufts was one of these. He set aglow a sacred flame by building a church and a school . . . change continue strong in this high place. Inauguration - 15 The Lees-McRae Bluegrass Band and State Champion- ship Cloggers performed during Inauguration Week and The Soldiers' Chorus delighted pre-inaugural audiences. Loyal Jones opened his remarks, I have a warm feeling for the private institutions of the Appalachian region . . . the Appalachian mountains would not be what they are today without these private institutions. Iam extremely glad to be here at Lees-McRae which I know has served a great need here and whose graduates have done great services in Western North Carolina and elsewhere. l' For a long time I have been telling stories, singing old songs, and every once in a while some- one would say, 'You need to go to Lees- McRae'. . . well, I'm finally here. - Marilyn McCredie 16 - Inauguration would be no small advantage if every college were thus located at the base of a mountain . . . Some will remember, no doubt, not only that they went to the college, but that they went to the mountain. - Henry David Thoreau The Lees-McRae Chorus and Avery County Chorale combined on this auspicious occasion to perform in celebration of the inauguration of Cram as the I pi., vi 1 A special program, Appalachia: A Festival of Words and Music, was presented as a special event in the celebration of the inauguration of Dr. Bradford L. Crain. The program was held in Hayes Auditorium and featured Loyal Jones and Marilyn McMinn McCredie. Jones, a native of Western North Carolina, is currently the Director of the Berea Col- lege Appalachian Studies and organizes an annual Celebration of Traditional Music. He has written frequently on Appalachian culture, values, religion, humor, and music. His most recent publication is Minstrel of the Appalachians: The Story of Bascom Lamar Lunsford. McCredie is a folklorist, teacher and pro- fessional storyteller, and a native of Hender- son County, North Carolina. She teaches a course she calls Western North Carolina Folk History at Henderson County's Blue Ridge Technical College. Also in celebration of the inauguration were featured programs such as a craft show and the premier showing of Hugh Morton's latest film, Richard Evans Younger, Wild- life Artist - The Black Bear. Morton also made available his film, Americas Scottish Highland Games at Grandfather. Morton, who is a member of the Lees-McRae College Board of Advisors, is an outstanding and noted photojournalist and is the producer of three award-winning motion pictures: Masters of Hang Gliding, The Hawk and John McNeely, and America 's Scottish High- land Games at Grandfather. Morton also introduced Terry Sanford on the evening before the inauguration of President Crain, and the former Governor of North Carolina and past President of Duke University delivered a pre-inaugural address to a capacity audience in Hayes Auditorium. James flick, Garland, Chair- man of the Board of Trusteesf extended a welcome to Sanford and the audience. - , -'rd' : ,' f---gr if. ff S, Dr. Brad Crain introduced the U. S.

ROOTS AND WINGS . . . roots for understanding our heritage and wings for discov- ering our futuref' - Bradford L. Crain President Board of Trustees Chairman, John R. King, stated that 'when Brad Crain hit the campus in J, , dse February he landed running and has not stopped sincef' This best sums up the hectic agenda of Lees-McRae College's President in his first year in Banner Elk. His agenda for the year g reads like a travelog as he has journeyed the eastern United States in search of benefactors S and foundations to aid the college in its pro- grams and expansions. Dr. Crain's dedication, energy and hard work, and untiring efforts are witnessed by the refur- bishing of the buildings on campus, and with the many landscape beautification projects. He has been instrumental in expanding the educa- tional programs as well. His concern and inter- n iif A A est in the student is not only evidenced by his open door' policy to the student body but by his continuing desire to improve the programs and facilities of the college. Active in church and civic affairs, Dr. Crain is constantly in de- mand as a speaker. Educated at Berea College, receiving his B.A. degree in English in 1965, Dr. Crain received both his M.A. degree f1968l and his Ph.D. de- gree f1973l in English from Harvard University. Having served as an instructor of English at both Berea College and Harvard University, Dr. Crain began as an assistant professor of English at Stetson University in 1970. He left Stetson as a full professor in 1980 to assume the duties of professor of English and head of the Depart- ment of Languages, Literature and Dramatic Arts at Armstrong State College.

CJimJ Stonesifer assumed the duties of Academic Dean following the resignation of Lewis Hall who stepped down after ten years from that post to return to the teaching ranks at Lees-McRae. Stonesifer came to the college in 1967 and assumed the post of Chairman of the Biology Depart- ment in 1970. He served in that position until 1973 when he was named Academic Dean. Prior to coming to Lees-McRae, Stonesifer taught two and one-half years at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and also taught at Bridgewater College briefly. At the untimely death of Dr. H. C. Evans, Jr., he ably assumed the responsibilities of Acting President of the college upon the direction of the Board of Trustees.

STONESIFER May 11, 1985 WHEREAS, the illness and ultimate death of Dr. H. C. Evans, Jr. deprived Lees-McRae College of an able and dedi- cated leader: and WHEREAS, the circumstances necessitated the assump- tion of leadership duties and responsibilities by various indi- viduals during the final weeks of Dr. Evans' life and then while the search for a successor to him as President of the College was organized and conducted: and WHEREAS, the administrative team assembled by Dr. Evans performed in a commendable manner during a very difficult time in the life of the College: and WHEREAS, in his capacity as Acting President of Lees- McRae College during the period from January, 1984, through January, 1985, James A.

They are disciplines which are concerned with the rela- tionships of human beings with each other and with their natural environment. The social sciences present the story of human affairs from the past to present times. The social sciences have a definite relationship for the individual to the development, structure, and functioning of society. The subject matter of the social sciences can be analyzed and used in understanding trends, solving problems, and revealing the past as a means toward better understanding of the present. An understanding of the social sciences 38 Faculty DIVISION OF SOCIAL SCIENCES AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION gives one a broader knowledge and a more complete pic- ture of the development of civilization.

President BOBCAT GRIDDERS END SEASON ON WINNING NOTE . . . BOBCATS BATTLE BACK FOR TIE Lees-McRae, down 13-0 in the opener at Rockville, Mary- land, came from behind in the closing second of the third quar- ter and in the fourth period to knot the score at 13-all. The Bobcats had an opportunity to win the game, but Charlie Stepp's PAT was wide of its mark and Lees-McRae had to settle for a tie. V A jarring tackle by Steve Eger caused an errant pass from the Knights' quarterback and John Coker picked it off and returned it four yards to the Montgomery 12-yard line. From there Todd Daggs went to work and carried three times, hitting from six yards out to score: Charlie Stepp converted to make it 13-7 in the closing minutes of the third period. Elise Ferguson recovered a Montgomery fumble early in the fourth period on the Knights' 20-yard line and Daggs carried twice to pick up only two yards to the eighteen. Then Ryder found Eric Bynum on a 14-yard pass to the Knights' one-yard line. From there Daggs crashed over to tie the game, but Charlie Stepp's errant PAT left the Bobcats locked in a stalemate with the Knights. LEES-McRAE NIPS WCU JVS, 24-22 Lees-McRae's Todd Daggs scored three first half touchdowns to spark the Bobcats to a 24-22 win over the Western Carolina JVs at Tate Field. Daggs scored on runs of one, 55, and 29 yards and former East Henderson standout Charlie Stepp booted a 47-yard field goal to lift Lees-McRae to a 24-0 halftime lead. The Bobcats, now 1-0-1 on the season, dropped WCU to 0-1. Daggs, the Bobcats' outstanding freshman tailback, was the game's top rusher with 158 yards in 32 carries to spark the LMC ground game. gy U f . . , ' xl. 1?

HARFORD EDGES LEES-McRAE, 16-14 Quarterback Bill Creighton passed for 172 yards and two touchdowns and also kicked a 26-yard field goal as Harford edged Lees-McRae 16-14 in a Coastal Conference game in Bel Air, Maryland. The Owls 12-0, 2-OJ scored all their points after recovering Bobcat fumbles. The Bobcats grabbed a 7-0 first quarter lead when Frank Ryder tossed a 52-yard TD pass to Jerome Mitchell. Harford closed the gap to 7-3 before the half on Creighton's field goal. Creighton then tossed TD passes of 45 and three yards to Reggie Parker in the second period to give Harford a 16-7 advantage. Lees-McRae's Todd Daggs scored on a one-yard run in the fourth period to cut the lead to 16-14, but the Bobcats could get no closer. Daggs rushed for 163 yards on 37 carries to pace Lees- McRae 11-1-11. 76 Football POWELL SPARKS LEES-McRAE PAST CHOWAN Andre Powell rushed for 113 yards and two touchdowns to spark Lees-McRae to a 14-10 junior college football victory over Chowan in a Coastal Conference game. The Bobcats Q1-1, 2-1-ll took a 7-0 lead in the second quarter on Powell's two-yard plunge, then increased their advantage to 14-3 in the final period on a three-yard TD run by Powell. Jeff Goebel and Ken Davis turned in key interceptions. Steve Eger, John Champagne, Rob Patchett and Buckshot Buchanan were singled out for their defensive work. POST 6-3-1 RECORD LEES-McRAE TOPS HUDSON VALLEY Ben Billings caught a seven-yard touchdown pass from Frank Ryder in the third quarter to give Lees-McRae a 12- 7 homecoming victory over Hudson Valley in a Coastal Conference game. The Bobcats Q2-1, 3-1-ll trailed 7-6 before Ryder hit Billings with 4:58 left in the period. Andre Powell, who rushed 37 times for 137 yards, brought LMC within 7-6 on a two-yard TD run late in the first quarter. Hudson Valley dropped to 0-2, 1-3 with the loss.

Daggs carried 31 times for 62 yards against the Lion JVs and brought his total to 189 attempts for 857 yards and scored his tenth touchdown. Daggs led the Coastal Conference in rushing with 232 rushes for 1,079 yards and a 4.7 average per carry. He scored 12 TDs during the season and only played in eight games due to an injury. Daggs caught 10 passes for 113 yards and had 70 yards on punt returns, making his total offensive output 1,262 yards. s yfs Tir 6 'il .. S. GUARDS. Front row Il-rl: Chris Ledbetter, Eric Pendergraph.

POTOMAC STATE TRAPS LEES-McRAE IN ITS WEBB Pete Webb rushed 17 times for 220 yards and two touch- downs to lead Potomac State to a 35-21 victory over Lees- McRae in a Coastal Conference junior college football game in Keyser, West Virginia. The Catamounts Q2-2, 2-1-lj pulled out a 14-7 halftime lead on scoring runs of 12 and seven yards by Webb. The Bobcats Q2-2, 2-2-11 pulled within 21-15 early in the fourth quarter on a 27-yard pass from Frank Ryder to Matt Payne. But Stein's TD pass and a six-yard return of an intercepted Frank Ryder aerial by Randy Barnes put the Catamounts out of reach. Lees-McRae tied the game at 7-7 in the second quarter on Daggs' 15-yard run. Ryder passed 54 yards to Jerome Mitchell for a touchdown late in the fourth period. RECEIVERS.

The win sent Nassau to the top of the Coastal Conference standings with a 3-0 record, 6-0 overall. Lees-McRae slipped to 3-2 in the conference and evened its record for the season at 3-3-1. Nassau ran out the clock and preserved its undefeated season and the possibility of a number one ranking.

BOBCATS BLANK MARS HILL JVS, 25-0 Lees-McRae 14-3-11 did not look impressive in its 25-0 win over the Mars Hill JVs, but used a stingy defense and several new faces in winning its fourth game of the season over a lackluster Lion jayvee team. The Bobcats were plagued with penalties, being flagged for 13 for 135 yards, while the Lions were awarded nine penalties for 46 yards. The Bobcats held the Lions to 87 total yards offense, allowing only 61 yards in 45 attempts on the ground and only 26 yards through the airways as the Lions could complete only three of 13 attempts, with one interception by Bobcat John Champagne. Todd Daggs got the Bobcats on the scoreboard ln the second quarter after a scoreless first period with a three-yard rung Shannon Carter added the extra point. Charlie Stepp added a 47-yard field goal in the third period and Frank Ryder crashed over from the two, but the run for extra point failed and Lees-McRae led 16-0. In the fourth period Daniel Howell, the Bobcats' third kicker in the game, booted a 27-yard field goal and sub-quarterback Kevin Bradley ripped off a 10-yard run with only :05 seconds remaining on the clock to make the score 25-0. Carter's kick for the extra point was wide. -. g lgg fsif g A W .ttt DAGGS SPARKS LEES-McRAE BY WESLEY Tailback Todd Daggs rushed for 141 yards on 26 carries and one touchdown to lead Lees-McRae to a 27-9 win over Wesley College in a Coastal Conference contest in Dover, Delaware.

The Lady Hurricanes trailed Lees-McRae at halftime, . . Head Coach Keith Walker knew after the semester that he had lost starting point guard Jackie Lowery to the battle of the books, but he was not ready for the misfortune that hit his squad this year. Sophomore Miriam Sorrells did not return to the team for personal reasons and sub-point guard Nikki Baker under- went knee surgery and was lost for the season. Starting forward sophomore Mary Patterson had to drop out of school due to illness. Walker's Lady Bobcats were down to seven players as they faced the crux of their conference schedule. 'We had very little depth to start with, Walker said. The girls had to play forty minutes with little rest. Teams started to wear us down with substitutions. The Lady Bobcats con- tinued to play hard and despite the adversity we beat Chowan and Brevard in the tourneyf' 84 Basketball 31-24, and could never catch up until Pam Joyner hit her only two points of the night with :02 seconds left to send the game into overtime. Joyner took a 25-foot desperation shot that stripped the nets and knotted the score at 65-all. Lees-McRae was led by Angie Henderson with 31 points, followed by Jackie Lowery's 213 Kat Blackburn chipped in ten.

Kat Blackburn paced the Lady Bobcats with 22 points. Ronda Crum played an outstanding game on defense and was instrumental in keeping the Lady Hurricanes at bay in the late surge. Crum tied up the ball on an inbounds play under the Hurricanes' basket with :08 seconds remaining, then slapped the jump ball over to Pam Greene who was immediately fouled. Greene made one and one to give the Lady Bobcats their 50-48 winning margin. ,BBQ MCRAE LADY BOBCATS BLAST BREVARD IN TOURNEY Lees-McRae jumped out to an early lead, raced to a 25-21 halftime margin, and increased its lead to as many as 11 points in the second half as the Lady Bobcats won, 63-56, in the opening round of the WCJCC women's tournament in North Greenville's Hayes Gymnasium. It was the first time Lees-McRae had won an opening round in the tournament since women's basketball was rein- stated at the college in 1980. The win improved LM's record to 10-13, which is one of the best seasons the women have had since 1984 when Laura Johnson's crew posted a 16-8 season. In Johnson's first year she managed a 12-7 record but then suffered through three losing seasons in '82, '83, and '85. Kat Blackburn paced the Lees-McRae attack with 16 points, followed by Angie Henderson's fourteen. Ronda Crum and Pam Greene chipped in 11 points each, and fresh- man Shannon Credle dominated the boards, pulling down 13 rebounds and scoring nine points. Crum had 12 rebounds, Henderson had 11 and Blackburn ten as the Lady Bobcats dominated Brevard on the boards, 53-46.

Hostetter, whose team captured the regular season championship this year, surpassed the legendary Fred I. Dickerson as the winningest coach in Lees-McRae's basketball history. Dick- erson, in his 15 years at the helm of the Lees-McRae Bobcats, won 281 games THE SULTAN OF SLOW DOWN while losing 140, for a .667 winning percentage. Dickerson-coached teams captured seven conference champion- ships. Hostetter won his 200th game of his career at Lees-McRae this season and has posted a 214-101 record since com- ing to Lees-McRae in 1975. He has a .680 percentage. His teams averaged better than 19 wins a season and advanced to post- season play eight times during Hostet- ter's eleven-year tenure. The Bobcats The man who 'beat the clock' this year, in more ways than one, retired and brought the curtain down on his career at Lees-McRae by being named 'Coach of the Year' in the WCJCC. Hostetter turns the reins over to Keith Walker who will capably bring a new and fresh approach to the Bobcat basketball program. Carlisle Hostetter discusses strategy with Lees-McRae assistant Rob Gardiner. Hostetter contemplates the Bobcats' next move. Hostetter encourages Bobcats during 200th win. 98 Basketball f Q - N recorded their fourth consecutive 20- win season, having marked the sixth time in seven years in which the Bob- cats hit the magical 20-win season. His teams have been perennial lead- ers in team defense and in the last five years have given up 65 points or less per game. The 1985 team placed ninth nationally in team defense. Hostetter, often assailed by his op- ponents for his slowdown tactics and deliberate offense, won the conference championship this year under a shot clock. Had I known the shot clock was going to work to our advantage, I would have been in favor of putting it in much earlier, the amiable head coach stated. 'I still like the option of pulling the ball out and making them come after it when they pack back in the zone. But you have to adjust to any new situation and the new :45 second clock made me change my philosophy and strategy, Hostetter quipped. Those coaches who wrote us off be- cause of the shot clock were a little surprised this year? Jim Rice of the Anderson Indepen- dent stated: When the :45 second clock was added to NJCAA basketball, everyone thought Lees-McRae College was jin- ished. Lees-McRae Coach Carlisle Hostetter didn't say anything to con- test those thoughts. With the time put on every possession, Hostetter, the sul- tan of slowdown, had lost his biggest ally. It was during the semi-finals in the 1983-84 Region Ten Tournament in Chowan when Hostetter used his slow- poke strategy to upset favored Ander- son College. A year later, during the opening of the tournament at Ander- son, he shocked number one seed Chowan with the same formula. Never again, the coaches said. The :45 sec- ond clock would put an end to Lees- McRaes winning ways. It didn 't work that way. The Bobcats, despite the mandate that they had to shoot at least once every :45 seconds, prospered. In fact, instead of entering the Region Ten Tournament with their customary un- derdog tag, Lees-McRae came to An- derson as the number one team from the WCJCC. STEPS DOWN Hostetter accomplished his goals by constantly switching defenses from man-to-man to zone, or from one zone to an- other. Closeness obviously counts, stated Hostetter. The Bobcats won nine games that were decided by four points or less this season. l think it adds up to a total of 23 points in nine victories. Our ability to win the close ones, of course, has been the major thing Qthroughout the yearsjf' Hostetter was labeled by a basketball magazine as one of the outstanding recruiting gurus in the college ranks. He has turned out several outstanding Division I players at Lees-McRae and had three All-Americans under his tute- lage. With Hostetter's removal from the basketball scene at Lees-McRae and in the Western Carolinas Junior College Conference and Region Ten, the curtain comes down on another era at the tradi- tionally strong basketball school. John Mackorell had a .628 winning percent- age in the late 1930's and early '40's, and in the late'60's George Litton, in two years, directed the Bobcats to 51 wins and 29 losses for a .605 record and one conference championship. Jack Lytton, in three years, directed Lees-McRae to 59 wins and 36 losses for a .604 winning percentage and one championship. Both George Litton and Jack Lytton brought their teams to the finals of the region championships and Dickerson made eight playoffs without success. Hostetter's teams were in the regional -4 -sr . fy 1 i . 'Q' . l ey . 3 ' X finals twice, but came away the losers. No team at Lees-McRae has ever won the regional championship and gone to the nationals, so there are records wait- ing to be broken by newcomer Keith Walker. Walker had successful high school coaching positions at Stecoah High School Ckobbinsvillej, Mountain Heri- tage fBurnsvilleJ, Erwin QAshevilleD, and Lexington, South Carolina, and took a faltering women's program at Lees- McRae and turned it around in one year. The man who beat the clock this year, in more ways than one, retired and brought the curtain down on his career at Lees-McRae by being named Coach of the Year in the WCJCC. Hostetter turns the reins over to Keith Walker who will capably bring a new and fresh ap- proach to the Bobcat Basketball pro- gram. Walker has big shoes to fill. The Sul- tan of Slowdown has stepped down. Hostetter never tried to fill the shoes of any of the coaching greats at Lees- McRae. He has simply placed his shoes alongside them. Walker will make his own footsteps felt at Lees-McRae and around the league. The Bobcat basketball program is in good hands, Hostetter concluded. When it comes to basketball, the Sul- tan has seldom been wrong. The game of basketball will sorely miss this titan of the hardwood.

But any student of basketball knows that in the final analysis 'coaching' pays off. 'Coaching' wins the close ones. While emphasis is placed on talent, the major ingredient 'Many have been given the opportunity to coach in this life . . . few have been gifted enough to enrich others' lives and reap the benefits of this talent. Carlisle Hostetter is one of those gifted few, and athletes at Lees-McRae are better for itf' - Don Baker in any successful program is coaching. When the game goes down to the wire the players who are well-coached do not become 'rattled.' They do not become disorganized. They have a plan and with methodical ingenuity that plan is set into motion by the coach and the players, well- trained and disciplined in the art of offense and defense, produce. Many coaches attribute a close loss or a losing season to 'player attitudes' or 'lack of talent' or 'lack of desire and pride' on the team's part. They evade the fact that games are won and lost for the most part because the team and the individual players were not prepared. The coach was simply 'out-coached.' Instead of using motivation they flosing coaches! use alibis. It's refreshing to see a coach admit he didn't have his team prepared, and the other team and coach turned in a better peformance. Hostetter never alibis. Of course, he seldom loses.

Hostetter wears the distinctive label 'coach' with pride and lives up to the definition of that profession. Hostetter's label of coach is more than a title. He wears the label well and warrants the respect of his peers and colleagues. He 'commands' respect - not 'demands' respect - of his players, and he is genuinely the epitome of the word 'coachf' Basketball 101 102 Basketball Dr. Crain presents MVP Award in the Bobcat Classic to Lees-McRaes Peltre Williams. Lees-McRae College won the championship of the Bob- cat Booster Club Tournament by defeating Brevard Col- lege 55-53 in a nip-and-tuck contest that saw the Bobcats come back from a 12-point deficit to take their fifth victo- ry in six starts. A sticky Bobcat defense held Brevard to only 18 points in the second half, as Lees-McRae completely shut down Ricky Chatman, who had scored 13 points in the first half, and overcame a 39-29, ten-point lead to pull within three points on two buckets by Gary Strickland with 12 minutes to go, 41-38.

Nikki Baker and Tabatha Farmer were the only double win- ners of the day as they captured singles and doubles victories. Baker, down 4-2 in the first set, struggled back to 5-all, but lost her serve to go down 6-5, and senior Holly Phipps held serve to take a 7-5 first-set win. Phipps broke serve at 4-3 and Baker struggled back to break serve at 6-5 to force the second set into a tiebreaker which she won, 7-3. The two grueling sets took its toll on both players but Phipps failed to hold serve three times in the third set as Baker dominated play to post a 6-3 third-set victory. Baker, who underwent orthoscopic knee surgery for a bas- ketball injury, teamed with Humphries to win the number one doubles to complete the sweep. Baker, after playing six gruel- ling sets of tennis, began to show fatigue in the last set of the doubles, but Stephanie Humphries played inspired tennis to bolster her doubles partner to wax the final and crush their opponents, 6-0. 106 Tennis -9.7 ,, King swept four of six singles and captured all three doubles as the Lady Tornadoes recorded a 7-2 win over the Lees-McRae Lady Bobcats in tennis on the King College courts at Bristol. Stephanie Humphries and Leslie Frame were the only two Lady Bobcats to claim victories in the third and sixth singles as Nikki Baker, Tabatha Farmer, Angela Jackson and Gretchen Fearing fell in straight sets to their opponents. Nazareth College of Rochester, New York, captured four of the six singles and two of the three doubles to take a 6-3 win over the Lady Bobcat netters. The loss dropped the Lees-McRae Lady Bobcats to 2-2 on the season while Nazareth evened its record at 1-1. Helen Bernardi defeated Nikki Baker in straight sets, 6-1, 6-2, and Stephanie Humphries and Gretchen Fearing fell in straight set matches. Barbara Crawford pushed her opponent to a three-set match before dropping the third set in a tie- breaker, 7-5. Singles winners were Tabatha Farmer at number three singles and Angela Jackson at the number four singles. Both Lady Bobcats walked away with straight set victories.

BOBCATS POST 29-4 RECORD-BEST IN A DECADE Head Tennis Coach Don Baker is probably a better prognosticator than he is a coach because he predicted before the season started that Anderson and North Green- ville College could easily win the national championship in the upcoming season. The Bobcats finished with one of ..i. their best seasons in years with a 29-4 overall record and 4 posted a 17-4 spring season. Their only four losses came at the hands of Anderson and North Greenville. Both teams were ranked in the top ten when the Bobcats met the Trojans and the Mounties, with Anderson prevailing, 6-3, A 9-0, and North Greenville winning both matches, 8-1. 'We M X , fared well against four-year institutions and other junior colleges but it's difficult to play back-to-back matches with 5 Er. 1 the nation's No. 4 and No. 6 ranked teams, Baker stated after disappointing losses to the two powerhouses. 'Ander- g son or North Greenville could easily win a national cham- pionship, Baker reiterated at mid-season. When the ' Y 5 4, teams met in the Regional Tournament, Anderson pre- 'xx' Q vailed over North Greenville for the championship and M Lees-McRae placed third. Anderson went on to win the . , national title in Tyler, Texas, and North Greenville finished fourth in the nation. 'Had Lees-McRae had the opportuni- f is If E . - . ty to go to the nationals this year, we would have definitely finished in the top ten, Baker stated. 'I think our region was well represented but only two teams from each region are allowed to participate. I felt this team was as good as the '83 team and maybe not as strong as the 1977 team but we would have made a good showing in the nationals. lt's unfortunate that we had to stay at home, Baker lament- ed.

The party was deemed a major success by Dorm Director Billy Arrington who conceived the party idea. We wanted to do something different, something that the school has never done before, Something different is a mild way to describe a toga party where everyone is requested to come dressed in the original loose-fitting garment that was worn in public by the ancient Roman citizens. It was an unusual sight in MacDonald Cafeteria but it provided a delightful evening for those who participated. Jack Masters and Miss Pat certainly enjoyed the event. The object of the party was to find the most original and unusual toga. The female winner was Veronica Moretz and the male winner was Wynndell Dodson. Both students were given a free weekend at the lodge of their choice, sponsored by the Banner Elk Holiday Inn and Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Boone. Sammy Burnett, representing Coca-Cola, decided to help sponsor the event due to the fact that the students and faculty has been such good customers. Howard Felder, Manager of the Holiday Inn, was also present to give awards to the two toga contest winners. fi? 11' 144 Toga Party ff. J l ' is as -SE?

THE MIRACLE WORKER MOVED ' The Mme Wm, l LEES-MCRAE AUDIENCES . . . The Performing Arts Department presented the celebrated play The Miracle Worker, the story of Annie Sullivan's efforts to educate the blind-mute child Helen Keller. Dr. Janet Barton Carroll directed the play that originally opened on Broadway in the late '50's with Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke as Annie Sullivan and Helen Keller. For the Lees- McRae performance, Missy Richter played Annie Sullivan and Amanda Tate played Helen Keller. They had demanding roles throughout the play and two show stopping scenes - one, a confrontation fight scene between Annie and the wild, unfettered Helen in which Annie demonstrates literally that she will fight with all of her resources to teach the uunteacha- ble' child Helen Keller: the other, at the end when Helen Keller first perceives and knows and can communicate. Her signal to Annie Sullivan didn't leave a dry eye in Hayes Auditorium where The Miracle Worker' was being per- formed. In addition to Amanda Tate, other local residents of the community who participated were Kelly Watterson, Bill Watterson, Betsy Hall, Kelly Barrow, Luke Barrow, Shannon Williams, Laurie Teagarden, Todd Teagarden, Barton Carroll, Michelle Krege, Tom Michalski, Phil Zitnick and Christie Campbell. LMC students in the cast included Deidre McPheters, Mark Hargett, Sonya Robbins, Elizabeth Moss, and Missy Richter.

Head Coach Soupy Campbell and Assistants Mac Bry- an and Terry Smith awarded sophomore lettermen plaques and freshmen letter certificates to over 80 play- ers assembled in MacDonald Cafeteria. Guest speaker for the banquet was Richard Dick Pectol, LMC Class of 1958. While Pectol was at Lees-McRae he lettered in both football and basketball and upon completion of his athletic and academic career went to East Tennessee State University where he received his bachelor's de- gree. From there he attended the Law School of the University of Tennessee and was awarded the doctor of jurisprudence degree. Pectol delighted the audience with his reminiscences of Lees-McRae and the football program and after several hilarious anecdotes ad- mitted, l happened to land at a school, a college with professors and people that cared about you. I don't see any difference when I was here and what l've seen here in the past. I got a great boost, and because of the education I got here I was able to go on and play football at East Tennessee State, participate in sports, and get my degree and then go on to law school.

He lettered in football and track at Lees-McRae and played at East Tennessee State University where he received his B.S. and M.S. de- grees. Stacy challenged the student-athletes to make the most of their opportunities at Lees-McRae and to take advantage of an education which he feels is second to none and an opportunity in a strong athletic program with a great tradition. Stacy related several humorous stories Womens tennis team presents Dr. Crain with runner-up trophy for the WCJCC. and reminisced about his days at Lees-McRae, but on a more sober note told the audience how much the college meant to him and the impact it had on his life. He ex- pressed his desire to return to the institution some of the gifts that Lees-McRae had been responsible for him receiv- ing. Stacy stated, from his own personal experience, that he could guarantee every student present in the room that they would never forget their two years at Lees-McRae. Men's and women's basketball, men's and women's skiing, and men's and women's tennis were recognized with letter- men certificates, plaques and All-Conference awards. Sev- eral players were cited for special awards in each sport.

In action taken by the Lees-McRae College Board of Trustees at its Feb- ruary meeting, Trustee Chairman John Uackj R. King read the follow- ing resolution by the Board of Trust- ees: Resolved that the campus structure commonly known and re- ferred to as 'The Rock House' be re- named the LOVELL ADMISSIONS CENTER, in grateful appreciation and recognition of C. Edwin Lovell's generous personal financial support and commitment to Lees-McRae Col- lege and his continuing advocacy for and interest in the collegef' The Rock House, completed in 1920, is the first of the buildings to be built of native stone. It has served many purposes throughout the years-an industrial arts center, a summer tearoom, a gift shop display- mg craft work by the students, and a biology laboratory. It was given to the college by Misses Sue, Jessie, and Jane Hall of Wilmington, North Ed and Betty Lovell are extraordi- nary people . . . knowing that educa- tion and opportunity are close allies, they make dreams come true for oth- ers. - Bradford L. Crain 180 Lovell Dedication Q X ii 3 Carolina. Miss Sue Hall was one of the early teachers at Lees-McRae. Mr. Lovell is on the Financial Ad- visory Board of the Indian River County Commissioners. When the Lovells are residing at their summer residence at Hound Ears, they are very active with the programs and events at Lees-McRae College. 'Ed and Betty Lovell are extraor- dinary people, stated Lees-McRae President Bradford L. Crain. 'Know- ing that education and opportunity are close allies, they make dreams come true for others? 'They care deeply for young peo- ple and they care deeply for Lees- McRae College, Crain continued. 'How fitting it is to name our admis- sions and financial aid center in hon- or of the Lovells, for that building is where our future students and their opportunity to succeed in life meet each other. We are most appreciative of their generosity and hope their ex- ample will be an inspiration to many others? Before recognizing Ed Lovell, Dr. Bradford Crain, President of Lees- McRae, read an account of the back- ground of 'The Rock House' pre- served in the Carson Library at Lees- McRae College. 'The little Rock House by the Side of the Road was formally opened Au- gust 3, 1920. This service consisted of a few songs, the reading of a pas- sage of Scripture and a prayer. It is not our purpose to use this building for religious services. But it was fit- ting that the first service be one of this kind, for Lees-McRae is a Chris- tian school and we want every de- partment of it to be permeated with the Spirit of Christ. 'The object for which this little Rock House was erected is of a three- fold nature. 'First, it is to be a kind of ex- change for homemade products, es- pecially the industrial work in the school. Any person who has any- thing to sell can leave the article in the sales room and when it is sold, the owner pays the house fifteen per- cent for handling it. ln this way we hope to encourage the people to make things for sale. We hope that the exchange will be the means of creating a large business in all kinds of homemade products. 'Second, it is to be a place where at certain times visitors can find re- freshments nicely served. In other words, it is to be a kind of 'Tea Room? 'Third, it is to be a room where the Ladies Missionary Society, the Lay- men's Association, and other organi- zations can meet from time to time for social purposes. 'It is centrally located on the cor- ner where the old Industrial Building used to stand and it is the first of the permanent stone buildings that we are planning to erect. 'This department of our work is wonderfully fortunate in having for its head Miss Sue Hall. If anyone has anything to sell or wishes to buy any homemake mountain products, that person will do well to write Miss Sue Hall for particulars concerning the little 'Rock House by the Side of the Road.' While you look through the pages of the 1986 Ontaroga I hope the yearbook staff has brought back wonderful memories of your life on 'The Elkf' I would like to thank Tabatha Farmer, Angela Jackson, and all those who helped me with the class section layout and identifying photos. I would also like to thank Phil Teagarden for his help in supplying a number of needed photos, and a special thanks to all the staff in the Public Relations Office, Joyce Baker, Joanne Franklin, Paula Hughes, for their assistance and hard work on the yearbook. I would finally like to thank the man' who is the inspiration and driving force behind this yearbook and all publications at Lees-McRae. Without his diligence and hard work, guidance and inspiration, I would have never been able to produce the 1986 yearbook. To a very good friend of mine, Mr. Don Baker, I say many thanks.

The two greatest gifts, Crain stated, that we can give our students are roots and wingsg roots for un- derstanding our heritage and wings for discovering our futuref' Crain observed, The sculp- ture has a strength and character that makes it fit well into this rugged country of mountain peaks and mountain people. Probably long after a casual observer forgets its title the piece will continue to reflect - and perhaps even stimulate - its symbolic power of making us reach upward for our vision of what Lees-McRae College should be. Sculptor Wayne Tripp stated, Lees-McRae is one of probably only two colleges in the state with public sculpture. I think it's great that Lees-McRae and the Banner Elk community are sup- porting art in this way. Once people know what the sculpture represents, and the idea behind it, they usually come to like it. The entire project, with the landscaping and the placement of puddingstone rocks and shrub- bery, is a focal point for the cam- pus and community activities. A new sign, along with the sculp- ture, invites visitors to the col- lege. The new sign is made of bronze which gives the effect of liquid gold and links the histori- cal past with the present by imaging the traditional college seal next to the new Lees-McRae logo. ln the parting words of Dr. Crain, Together the new sign and sculpture form an invitation for people to stop and linger on a campus that is old but forever newf' ,xx .

Drawing on her travels to Germany, Greece and China, novelist Wilma Dy- keman told the Lees-McRae College Graduating Class to share the educa- tion they received with their commu- nities and the world. Dykeman also encouraged her au- dience to appreciate the word 'work,' a much rnaligned term todayf' Call- ing it what binds a person to himself and a community or civilization to- gether, she quoted Sir Laurence Oli- vier on 'work,' that blessed yoke without which we cannot live. She told graduates to approach their life's work with discipline and imagination. Discipline is associated in most minds with prisons, parents and professors, she said. But it is discipline that leads people to choose whether to spend their time shoddily or well. Imagination, often associated with the poet's flights of fancy, re- leases us from the prison of ourselves and is not an escape but a plunge into the reality around usf' While visiting the amphitheaters in Greece, Dykeman realized that three centuries before Christ people had been pushing and rushing and hurry- ing to go to the theater to attend there a reflection of the human experience in some of the greatest tragedies that have ever been written and some of the most lancing comedies as wellf' They shared part of the human experi- ence that is still part of our western heritage today, a common experi- ence of learning, enriching the human psychology and the human spirit. While visiting the city of Peking, the 75 acres of temples and palaces and libraries and gardens with some of the greatest artistic creations known to the oldest continuous civil- ization in the world today and realized these treasures had been contained strictly for the royal family in the For- bidden City. It became kind of a symbol for our learning and our challenge and par- ticularly your learning today because you are a part of America in the sense that you are educated. You have a vi- sion of how much more education you need, how much we all need. But it is not just learning for your own little 'forbidden city,' for your own self. It is that of the theater of the Greeks to share, to go out and reach out to oth- ers and make their experience part of the great human experience in your own relationship, not just to your own tiny community, although it must be- gin there, but also to the great broad community of people wherever they may live? sw W 5, ' L , ,E 1-, Za ,, N . ,, Dykeman related she walked through Dr. Brad Crain presents Dr. Dykeman the Lees-McRae coat of arms and a congratulatory certificate recognizing her as Graduation Speaker for 1986. ou have a vision of how much more edu- cation you need . . . , 'There is no job you will undertake that someone has not undertaken before and others will not be undertak- ing but you make that job yours because you are a unique individual and you are addressing that chal- lenge. I suggest to you that a poorly plowed field can fore- tell the downfall of a region. l suggest to you that a corruptly conceived business or industry can suggest the dryrot of a nation and a slovenly cared for home can reveal the downfall of a whole civilization, because our work lives long after we are gone. No matter how small we think our job may be, somewhere fallout occurs not just in our time and place but later on down the road. ipqffwf gig ,I Graduation 185 I Approach life's work with discipline and imagination . . . discipline that leads people to choose whether to spend their time shoddily or well . . . imagination re- leases us from the prison of ourselves and is not an escape, but a plunge into the reality around us. , into the world around usf' The imagination I refer to is a part of every human life that is well lived. It belongs to a parent who can 'imagine' the joy and the fear and the terror of being a childg it is a parent who can understand the adolescent's needs and the dis- covery of a new and challenging world. It is the 'imagination' of a man or woman who can identify with a partner's needs . . . a politi- cal leader who dreams that free men think and who writes the Declaration of Independence . . . the businessman who thinks and 'imagines' new ways to bring com- fort or ease or necessities to hu- man life around the worldf' Dr. Dykeman described a visit to the Nazi death camp of Dachau where she and her family sensed 'the depravity that is possible to the human mind. The visit was redeemed, she said, by a poorly printed pamphlet her husband found at the camp, the writings of a Dutch prisoner which argued the message of the camp was to prac- tice more humanityf' You are a part of the elite now, Dr. Dykeman said in reference to the gift of education conferred upon the students. Don't hide the knowledge away in your own little 'forbidden cityf This is the vision you face to- day, Dr. Dykeman concluded. That is the challenge that you 186 Graduation I would suggest to you that there are two ingredi- ents to making your work important and to making your work well done and enjoyed, and they are two of the most misunderstood words today. The first word is 'discipline,' discipline that makes you make choices between whether you will spend your time shoddily or whether you will spend your time well, whether you will choose the second best or whether you will choose the best. The second ingredient is 'imaginationf reflecting not strictly in the sense of the poet's imagination or the author's imagination but imagination that lets one identify with the experience of others, Dr. Dy- keman pointed out. The imagination is not an es- cape from the world, it is a plunge into the reality ?if : Q ,. , 1: Q-2fi . face with your talent, to use the disci- pline that you've learned here, to un- dergird the moral imagination to make this world a different place because you have been a part of it.

Dr. Carroll has had exten- sive experience in theatre and is noted for her Blue Ridge Commu- nity Theatre productions: Fiddler On the Roof Annie, Oliver, My Fair Lady, and Barnumg and her work at the Green Park Inn: Tin- types, I Do, I Do, Chapter Two, and her work in the outdoor dra- ma, From This Day Forward. However, she is best known for her work with the Lees-McRae Performing Arts Department which has produced many plays and musicals which include: Li'l Abner, Guys and Dolls, Annie, Get Your Gun, Dracula, The Diary of Anne Frank, The Boy Friend, and The Miracle Worker. Dr. Carroll was presented the second annual Cultural Arts Award for her work as a volunteer in community affairs and her many contributions in profession- al theatre. Dr. Carroll has established an expansive program in performing arts, adding an exciting dimension to campus activites, that provides both a creative outlet and aca- demic credit for students. She has designed a performing arts program that consists of dra- ma, two choruses, a clogging team, and a faculty bluegrass band. She has expanded the the- atre department to five produc- tions during the year, including a major musical which attracts hundreds of patrons each fall. She has produced a Christmas Show since she came to Lees-McRae and this production is followed by a non-musical drama in the spring and children's show which is per- formed throughout the area. She was responsible for reviving sum- mer theatre which was popular in the late '60's and early '70's. Her name is synonymous with performing arts at the college, in the area, and in the Southeast. This gifted lady is asomething spe- cial' to LMC students and area citizens alike. And, the 1986 Ontaroga is hon- ored to acknowledge Dr. Janet Barton Carroll for her outstanding service and contributions to Lees- McRae for the past eight years. g,faw+! wa ll xv' ' 'N fl 4? f ,'l, I up , f 5 fi -'lg 'K ff' 4 . in ' .5 K., 1 x E y .
