SYMPHONIC SOUNDS, spirited Sousa marches—nothing seems impossi Band, one of the nation’s finest. “I PRONOUNCE YOU Queen Irma Lee and King Murry, royal couple of Homecoming.” So begins the coronation speech given by President Prentice Meador at “Mock Homecoming.” WINNERS of the Press Club Talent Show are the Soph-Tones. They bring down the house with their version of “Charlie Brown.” Page 24 ble for the group of musicians banded together as the United States Navy Local and Imported Talent Entertain Campus life wouldn’t be campus life without a variety of programs to highlight the season with spar- kling talent and entertainment. Early in the school year came the annual senior-faculty basketball game. Adding new life to this lively event was the first “mock Home- coming” ceremony. Never to be forgotten is the half- time coronation of Queen Irma Lee Batey and King Murry Martin in all their regal spendor. The ceremony was complete with faculty attendants and the crowning by the balding president—Meador, that is. Preston, noted hypnotist, was sponsored jointly by the junior classes of the high school and college in a special’ show on the campus during November. The annual Press Club Talent Show was another program scheduled during fall quarter. Campus talent partici- pating included vocal groups as well as-individual artists. During February, the Press Club again provided beau- tiful entertainment—namely, the annual Festival of Hearts, at which the six Campus Beauties are named. The United States Navy Band presented matinee and evening performances in McQuiddy Gymnasium on April 11. Sponsored by the junior class, one of the world’s great bands provided a fitting climax to a season of excellent programs on campus.

Boosting the Bisons The success of any school year is directly propor- tional to the spirit and enthusiasm of the student body. According to this formula, 1959-60 can be marked off as one of the best years Lipscomb has ever known. Enthusiasm was exceptionally high during the inter- class football competition of fall quarter. Winter quar- ter was filled with the excitement of intercollegiate basketball and the VSAC tournament held on the cam- pus. Baseball games during spring quarter brought large numbers of Lipscomb fans to the bleachers on Onion Dell. A lively feature added to the year’s agenda and ac- claimed as a success was campus wide pep rallies before the football games. A group of cheering students, led by the band and class cheerleaders, moved across the campus to conclude the rally on the steps of Alumni. TENSION, excitement—then firing of a rifle, the rolling of the drum. Prentice Meador hands over the official copper torch to ’Fessor Boyce, who was the first runner on the relay to carry it to Clarksville for the traditional “Game of the Torch.” CHILLY WEATHER and overcast skies cannot quench the enthusiasm of cheering students. The senior class cheerleaders lead a large group of Lipscomb supporters in favorite cheers before the afternoon football game. BAND MUSIC, fight songs, cheers—a special pep rally during the second half of chapel is evidence of the special enthusiasm on campus during the close race for the VSAC conference championship.
