Established in 1891, the school has branched out to cover more than 30 major academic programs leading to the B.A. or B.S. degree. Under the lead- ership of President Willard Collins, the faculty of Lipscomb encom- passes Christian men and women of whom 60 percent hold doctoral de- grees. The foremost purpose of Da- vid Lipscomb is still the endeavor of a complete Christian education; with all students attending a Bible class each day just as they have for the past 87 years. With its varied program of study and opportunity, Lipscomb has steadily progressed since its begin- nings almost 100 years ago. The school was established by two gi- ants in Christian education; David Lipscomb and James A. Harding. The men reached a decision about establishing a Christian school dur- ing a meeting held by Harding at the College Street Church of Christ in 1888. They had come to the con- clusion that a serious need existed in restoring New Testament Chris- tianity for young people of that day as well as for the following genera- tions. The Bible School opened on Octo- ber 5, 1891, in a rented house on Fillmore Street in South Nashville with only nine young men in atten- dance. During the first year a total of 32 students were enrolled, in- cluding S.P. Pittman, whose life was to span the first 75 years of the in- stitution’s history. During the second year, the school held classes in rented quar- ters on Cherry Street while property on South Spruce Street was bought for further expansion. In 1901, the school was incorported under the laws of Tennessee and was given the power to confer degrees and issue diplomas. It was at this time that Lipscomb realized the school would have to move to a much larger loca- tion in order to keep up with its de- velopment. With this need in mind, he gave his own farm of 65 acres located on Granny White Pike to the school. He remodeled his home into a girls’ dormitory while raising funds for a boys’ residence. The old home, still known as Avalon Hall, is used today by the Elementary and High School. Before the boys’ dor- mitories were completed, the young 4 OPENING men could only reach the second floor by using ladders. A large number of men and wom- en contributed to the growth of Lipscomb after the original founders’ deaths. E.A. Elam, for whom a women’s dormitory is named, served as president, chair- man of the Board of Directors, and as the head of the Bible depart- ment. Dr. J.S. Ward brought admin- istrative strength to the struggling school after Elam’s death in 1929. He provided staunch leadership on several occasions when the school was between permanent presidents. H. Leo Boles, E.H. Ijams, Batsell Baxter, and Athens Clay Pullias were three administrators who also dedicated themselves to the school. Boles was successful in promoting scholarships on campus from which a large program of honor, aca- demic, special achievement and athletic scholarships has come into existence over the years. During Boles’ term, the students and facul- ty recommended the institution’s name be changed from the Nash- ville Bible School to David Lips- comb College. A serious fire and the Depression were among some of the problems that Baxter and Ijams dealt with as they led the school to- ward a solid financial position. Lips- comb made its greatest and most comprehensive strides under its longest serving president, Athens Clay Pullias. Under Pullias’ leader- ship, the school expanded from a Junior to a Senior College. Most of the buildings on campus are named for staunch supporters of the school, many of whom per- sonally saved the school from clos- ing its doors at various times. One of the most prominent of these fig- ures was A.M. Burton for whom the Burton Administration Building was named. Young Burton arrived in Nashville in 1897 without an educa- tion or a job. He managed to save half his earnings after securing a job. He accepted a position with an insurance company which later went out of business. Burton decid- ed to begin his own company in 1903 and organized the Life and Ca- sualty Insurance Company. At his retirement in 1950, the company had assets of over $118,000,000 and $700,000,000 of insurance in force. Because Burton knew the need for quality Christian education, he accepted a position on the Lips- comb Board of Directors and contri- buted much of his wealth toward the school’s progress. Burton quiet- ly administered relief to the school after fires destroyed two residence halls in 1929 and 1930. Without the help of A.F. Harlin, Truman Ward, E.A. Bergstrom, Gordon H. Turner, L.B. Corler, O.J. Davis, Hugh Dozier, William E. Fentress, I.C. Finley, S.H. Hall, E.K. Hardison, J.C. Lauderdale, Bryan Jordan, Carl Russell, Howard Youree, Sam Davis-Tatum, I.H. Gib- son, and W.E. Stephens along with Helena Johnson and J.E. Acuff, Lipscomb would not have survived the depression to dream about ex- tensive expansion. Like Burton, Helena Johnson was succesful in business and gave much to the school. Not only did she give large amounts of money for the construction of Sewell Hall, but she also supplied funds for a new women’s residence which was to be a part of the Lipscomb Expan- sion Program. She lived in an apart- ment in Johnson Hall until her death in 1959, and was affectionally known as ''Grandma”’ Johnson. Fanning Hall, which was built in 1960, was named for Tolbert and Charlotte Fall Fanning. The Fan- nings took part in the Restoration Movement from the _ beginning. They established several schools for girls around the Nashville area, one of which was located where the Me- tropolitan Airport is today. The oldest building on campus, Harding Hall, was named for James A. Harding, who was best known as a debater and preacher. Harding worked with the Nashville Bible School during its early days while continuing evangelistic preaching which carried him as far as Canada. He held meetings in Nashville which lasted for eight weeks. Har- ding Hall is now used by the Ele- mentary and High Schools. Lipscomb has changed greatly from the early years. As women are now allowed to wear blue jeans to class and stay out until 11:00 cur- few, a high contrast can be seen from the strictly supervised activi- ties of their grandmothers. Years ago, dating was restricted to Satur- day evenings when girls were es- corted to the auditorium by their matrons and boys were permitted to talk to them there — from the next row. Others events which the pupils could look forward to were the annual ‘Beautiful Day’’ at Rad- nor Hills and Sunday afternoon pic- nics with chaperones, of course. Students still had their ‘fun’ as they often came up with ingenious pranks that will always be written in Lipscomb history. The most notable of all occurred the day in which oil of winter green was put in the chairs soon to be occupied by the men of the faculty during chapel. When at last the devotional had ended, Presi- dent Boles dismissed the young la- dies and in typical fashion an- nounced: ‘Young men! There will be a packing of trunks!”’ Social clubs were also surprising- ly in existence in the early days. Al- though the activities of the first clubs were not quite the same as those of today, men and women’s clubs enjoyed intramural competi- tion and forensics. (1). An early class of young Lipscomb girls pose on the steps of the old Avalon Hall. (2). Athens Clay Pullias surveys the construction of the Science Building in 1966. (3). Charles Brewer, as Romeo, woos an unidentified ac- tress to accept his proposal of marriage in a drama production of ‘Romero and Juliet’. (4). Although they were not allowed to date without chaperones, young men and women did manage to mix without supervision in labs as the one pictured. ‘a Singular and collective, pensive and playful, the face of Lipscomb re- mains an intricate design of the con- cert effort toward Christian ele- ments which compose the school’s countenance, a unity of purpose is evidenced in both academic and so- cial features. The face of Lipscomb extends from its traditional architecture to the individual responsibilities of its staff and administration. The es- sence beneath the cultivated perso- na, however, finds its greatest ex- pression in its reason for being; the student. As a memory book, the BACKLOG has elected to perform its service by concentrating on faces, expressions and aspects of the college exper- ience. As a means of keeping vibrant a very special time in life, the year- book has further sharpened its focus upon the face of the student. And under each scrutiny a pattern of be- ing has emerged. Observable is a transformation of the student’s face from solemn angularity to cheerful roundness, determined harshness to vulnerable softness.

Collins: Christian education by definition is composed of these two definitions in my life. Christian means in the likeness of Christ and Education means bring up. (Eph 6:4) Therefore, Christian education means to bring a person in the like- ness of Jesus Christ our Lord. Backlog: Why do you believe in Da- vid Lipscomb College? Collins: | believe in Lipscomb be- cause of its purpose. The purpose is Christian education. | believe in Lips- comb because its purpose is to bring up people in the likeness of Christ, and in this way | believe Christian education is the hope of the world. We are a distinctive type school. Backlog: Is this purpose being used 100% at Lipscomb? Collins: We are always improving. Every teacher is a human being and, therefore, each can improve himself or herself. We are striving to keep the purpose of Lipscomb, but | am sure it can be improved. — Backlog: Why does David Lips- comb College need a year of renew- al? Collins: Lipscomb is an old institu- tion. It began in 1891. As the years go by, there is a tendency for Lips- comb to be taken for granted. At the beginning of a new administration, it seems to me to be a perfect time to call for a year of renewal in which we seek to really build enthusiasm for Christian education. We are striving for the spiritual and academic worth of the school and | think it can be improved. Backlog: What are the results so far? Collins: There have been four committees appointed. Reports will come to me at the beginning of the Spring Quarter. So far, the attitude of the students has been wonderful, and the faculty has worked hard. It seems to me the results of the year of renewal, so far, are great. We have a more positive attitude on the campus with the faculty and the stu- dent body. 10 OPENING Backlog: Do you believe Lipscomb prepares its graduates adequately to meet the world’s demands? Collins: Some say we have a ‘‘hot house environment” in the sense that we overly protect the people, but | think in this world with televi- sion and other communications me- dia that it is very difficult to have a “hot house environment” in the sense that we overly protect people. We do have a controlled environ- ment. | believe the business world is looking for people who are honest, who have character, and people who stand for that whichis right. We at Lipscomb are striving not only to give a good academic training but to teach a person to stand for the right and stand against the wrong. Backlog: How do you foresee the future of David Lipscomb College? Private colleges are in trouble fi- nancially. | believe the alumni at Lipscomb will rally. Lipscomb can have a bright future because of its purpose. We believe that many who have been to Lipscomb will rally be- hind the school. | do see a bleak on oF of af Bf i ES } ES | p future for private education in gen- eral, but Christian education is a wide open market. We are reaching about 12% of the young people who go to college from the church of Christ, and since we are affiliated with the churches of Christ in the sense that we depend upon the chureh for many of our students, for faculty members, and our board members, | believe that a school like Lipscomb can go forward in the fu- ture. Backlog: Do you see a greater change to bring more students to Lipscomb? Collins: According to a survey made by Reeder Oldham conducted at Freed Hardeman College at Hen- derson, Tennessee, we are only reaching about 12%, take or give one percentage point. The young people who are members of the church of Christ and go to college, in other words 12% of high school sen- iors who graduate, go to Christian colleges. That leaves a market of 88%. We have a big market to sell and | believe we can reach from 15% to 20% in the near future. Backlog: What percent of other church affiliated students come to Lipscomb? Collins: About 90% of the students who attend DLC are members of the church of Christ ... Ten percent would be with other churches. Backlog: What are your responsi- bilities to this college as it’s Presi- dent? Collins: | serve as the Chief Execu- tive. Decisions stop at my desk. | work under a Board of Directors. This board meets quarterly. We have an Executive Committee on the board. The Executive Committee meets on call. The work of the Presi- dent is to give direction to the school, to coordinate the school. Basic decisions come to my desk and final decisions have to be made. | have the Vice President for Cam- pus Affairs, Vice President for Busi- ness Affairs, and the Vice-President for Institutional Planning who report to me. This is a job of Director, Coor- dinator, and 50% of my time is given to fund raising. Whereby, we are try- ing to work in development to keep the school strong in a financial way. Backlog: Do you find any free time with the responsibilities of this job? Collins: Not as much as being Vice President. We have to arrange free time on the schedule like anything else. We do take time to relax. We are trying to work out a schedule to be with the family as much as possi- ble. We have to schedule free time as we schedule busy time. Backlog: How did you choose Christian education as your future and how did you begin? Collins: | came to Lipscomb as a student. My mother wanted me to come, and my father also had the desire for me to come. | came here. My wife and | met at Lipscomb. When the opportunity came in 1944 to return to the school to help raise money. | thought of my two daugh- ters and | wanted them to have a Christian education. | gave up local church work and evangelistic work to some extent to come back to Lipscomb. Basically, | guess because | loved the school and | wanted my two girls to have a C hristian educa- tion. | saw the opportunity of making Lipscomb a four-year college and thus | returned. Backlog: What type evangelistical work did you do? Collins: | was doing local work with the church at Old Hickory. They al- lowed me to hold a number of meet- ings which | refer to as evangelistic work. Thus, | changed the course of my life to some extent in giving up fulltime church work and a number of meetings each year. | came to Lipscomb and went to Charlotte Avenue Church of Christ on a part- time basis. Later in 1955, | gave up local work entirely and held more meetings. | enjoyed evangelistical work from 1955 to this past year when | became President. | still hold a few meetings, but | have had to cancel many of them. My life has changed to a great extent since be- coming President. Backlog: How long do you plan to stay with David Lipscomb College? Collins: | have no real plans | have always said that | would like to retire when | am in the middle sixties. That means in three or four years from now. : Backlog: We will hate to see that. Collins: Thank you. We have to re- tire from Lipscomb when we are sev- enty. | am sixty two years old and that would mean that | would have to retire in eight more years. Backlog: How much has Lipscomb changed since you first attended? Collins: The basic ideals have changed very little. We still have our required Bible, and we still have chapel as we had while | was a stu- dent. Certain customs have changed in regard to dress and cer- tain behavior patterns have changed, but the basic principles are the same. Every teacher is a Chris- tian as when | was a student. As | mentioned, we have a controlled en- vironment. There have been certain rules that have changed in regard to dating. When | was a student, if a girl and boy went to town on a date, they went in a group with a chaper- one. Things like this have changed a great deal.

OPENING 11 ‘a : Those faces — amused and mis- chievous, quizzical and kind, intense and appreciative. Remember ... ... the blush of the girl at the pro- posal of the boy. ... the benign look of the teacher who receives a ‘‘yes’’ answer to a ‘““how’’ question. the raised eyebrow of the chapel supervisor at the fifth flat tire in a month. ... the slow smile of reassurance from one friend to another. ... the nervous twitch of the freshman donating his first pint of blood. ... the proud look of the sopho- more who can distinguished be- tween red and green knights, Monta- gues and Capulets. ... the pleased expression of the junior who has finally declared his major. ... the furrowed brow of one en- tering senior seminar. the grimmace of the runner breaking the tape. ... the heavy lids of the typist as she pulls her last foot-noted page from the machine. ... the villainous grin of an active during initiation rites. the gratitude on the face of the college president at a prolonged standing ovation. eens per” aeeneS et: | 12 OPENING OPENING 13 Oo Zz LJ o O ft + oe | RENO, SOBER O ER yf H i ? ; : ; 5 i : ; if a Expressions flicker so rapidly across the screen of the student’s face that one is tempted to diagnose manic-de- pression. At no other moment in life does one seem quite as apt to swing so swiftly from the heights of hilarity to the depths of the doldrums. At no oth- er time is the urge for academic prowl- ing so novel and emotional wanderlust so exhilarating. And at no other instant is such an anthem sung in praise of fraternity and communion. Proving to be the chosen vessel for the Lipscomb experience and all its in- herent ramifications, the student is the school. As laughter, sorrow, curiosity, and satisfaction emerge and fade upon these singular faces, so the college passes through its phases of growth. The multitude of faces, once isolated and imperfect, blend to form a com- posite being, multifaceted and com- plete. Thus,, Lipscomb’s ambition is again fulfilled. Even its metaphorical face may well look pleased for it has once more found gratification in its an- nual tryst with the receptive mind in a Christlike milieu.

Le ae ee SS ny renee Bae Lee SID ae os Fae 50 JUNIORS JUNIORS FINDING It was both good and bad for a Lipscomb student to own a car in 1978. First the good reason: despite rumors to the contrary, there were a multitude of parking places within campus bounds. And now, the bad reason: day students had to arrive at school at approximately 7:35 in order to utilize one of the providen- tially ordained spots. _ The most luxurious and highly coveted parking slots were those nestled beneath the swaying branches of the trees outlining the Belmont side of the campus. The choicest of these spaces went early, only those with an excellent view of homeplate remaining available at ME S| 5 ihe eh WM at ile i ie nities eHd Mel 2s ei a Wont! eo - A PARKING SPACE ___ 8:00. And in the uncomfortably cozy domain of the compact car, a realm where all but the thinnest an- gels feared to tread, spots were equally desirous. So tempting were they, in fact, that even an occasion- al Monte Carlo or Cutlas could not resist their lure. Similarly beseiged at each new break of day were the ever popular McQuiddy Gym and li- brary lots. There were, however, several _ parking areas on the Lipscomb cam- pus that will probably always wel- come even the most frustrated driv- er with open arms.

MAYBE the smaller area across from the Granny White shopping district be- ing the other. Furthermore, it was still legal to park, sink, and be ex- humed by cranes on the ‘‘city side”’ of Belmont Boulevard. And as one can see, possibilities for parking were endless. Of course, there was that delin- quent type which displayed a per- chant for double-parking or parking on side streets adjacent to the cam- pus. But for them there existed shame, notoriety, and metro tick- ets. And for the throngs of students who struggled with the immediate campus parking dilemma, only im- provement lies in the future.

One of the most unique activities which the club mem- bers enjoyed was spelunking. with the help of alumnus Steve Goodpasture, they were able to scout and explore several caves in East Tennessee. Alpha Tau also went on a canoe trip down the Buffalo River. The party included 20 canoes and 15 miles of paddling. As a satire on all formal club banquets, Al- pha Tau members had their own ban- quet in a different style. Held at Stand- ing Stone Park, actives doned ties with their jerseys and collected wildflowers for their dates, who wore white sheets. ALPHA TAU.

The fair pro- vides freshmen and other new stu- dents the opportunity to see all social clubs individually and together at fall quarter. The fair helps many people de- cide for which club they are most suit- ed. Not only do prospective pledges see club trophies, scrap books and people, but they also get a taste of club initiative and imagination which are shown in colorful costumes and sce- neries. At the 1977 fair, a large number of cookies and other goodies were en- joyed by many as well as a long time of talk and friendship. r ms J 74 RUSH FAIR RUSH FAIR 75 76 ‘a Sara GAMMA LAMBDA Gamma Lambda spent most of the year rebuilding its ranks and organizing activites. Beginning fall quarter with only seven members, pledging and ini- tiations played a particularly important role in the club’s year. Many pledges discovered at initation that ‘‘goldfish’’ or salted peaches were not really that bad after all. One of the highlights of Gamma _ Lambda’s initiation was the plays performed by pledges. The plays put on this year ranged from clever musicals to comical mysteries. Of all intramural sports, Gamma Lamdba en- joyed softball the most.

After the banquet dinner, the club saw the play ‘‘Life’s Little Problems.

Situated on Onion Dell field for the second year, the odyssey featured many games and a lot of plain ole fashioned fun. Relays were run, human pyramids built, and other games of coordination were played. Many people lived their second childhoods for a few hours, but that was one of the good things about the evening. They could do that and get away with it wi thout people thinking they were too crazy. Later, that even- ing, a fireside devotional was held and refreshments were served afterwards. PAS EON ey ae nemeniatiet9 78 ODYSSEY — PLEDGING CLUB IMPORTANCE The social club system is a very important part of student life at Lips- comb. There are many people who believe in the social club system and there are others who do not. At Lips- comb, you have the right to choose which is best for you. You are not ostracized from social life if you do not join a club. There are a variety of activities opened for everyone in and out of the clubs. To feel the complete meaning of the social club experience you must be a part of a club. No judgment can take place fairly concerning the good and bad aspects of clubs unless the critic is personally involved with a club. Too often criticisms unnecessarly exist by persons who do not understand the clubs. The relationships of soror- ity sisters and fraternity brothers are unique, and will be treasured by the club members for a lifetime. THE QUESTION OF PLEDGING ... What exactly is pledging? The an- swer to the question depends o n your point of view. If you are outside a club looking in, it is a grueling peri- od of grinding work and play that must be done before the final initi- ation rites begin. If you are inside a club looking out, pledging is simply a process by which you as an active get to know the pledges. Watching pledges grow and develop into re- sponsible, humble, human beings as each new day passes, brings back memories of what it was like for ac- tives when they pledged. Conversa- tions among actives sometimes sound like this, ‘‘l’ll never forget that time | had to do that major duty for Miss So and So, or the time Mr. Blank sent me across town at mid- night on that errand.”’ Later, as ac- tives grow older and leave college, a talk between a former active and his son might go, “‘That night | was initi- ated, I'll never forget. Your ole Dad was actually thrown in the lake and The answer to the pledging ques- tion is simple: Do as you're told and laugh about it later. Do not do as you are told and you won't live to laugh about it later. ODYSSEY-PLEDGING 79 80 ‘a DELTA SIGMA Delta Sigma worked and played hard during the year. Beginning the year by winning second place for their theme of the ‘‘Peter Pan’s Marching band” Delta Sigma actives, won the cham- pionship in an undefeated season of powderpuff football. They also carried away the honor of volleyball champion- ship. Delta Sigma members won sec- ond place in intramural softball and Singarama. The club enjoyed a semi- formal banquet at St. Charles Restau- rant winter quarter. Members were en- tertaind by Diane and Randy Morgan of “The Saxons.’’ Eact active and her date were presented handkerchiefs with their names embroidered on them.

DELTA NU 1978 was a year of intramural suc- cess as well as general success for Delta Nu. The club tied for the first place honor in football intramurals and won second place in intramural basketball. Sports activities for Delta Nu members were highlighted spring quarter when they won soft- ball intramural competition over all the campus teams. Such parties as a Christmas celebration and an alumni homecoming with Delta Sigma gave Delta Nu a break from hard intramu- ral play. Winter quarter was an im- portant time of the year for the members of Delta Nu as they spon- sored Delta Na Na Na, a musical pro- duction for which they have become famous at Lipscomb. The singing tal- ents and showmanship of the club contributed to spring quarter’s Sin- garama. The club’s banquet was held at the Maple Fox in Franklin, Tn., followed by the attendance of the B.J. Thomas concert. A harp player entertained the club during dinner. Slides of the year were also shown to the club members and their dates. During their annual Gat- linburg trip, club members attempt- ed ice-skating and skiing. Initiation was interesting for Delta Nu and Del- ta Sigma because the ceremonies of both clubs were conducted in Gatlin- burg. Doug Rives, a Homecoming at- tendant, was accepted into medical school at the University of Southern Alabama. Charlie Lyle placed second in indoor All-American track compe- tition. Mike Thrasher hosted the Festival of Hearts, and Bob Shew- make was honored as an escort at the Homecoming ceremony.

The annual competition between social clubs again succeeded in its customary effort to bring creativity to its peak. Brilliant col- ors, driving music, and festivities ga- lore combined to effect a masterwork of student involvement and school spir- it. Climaxing the day’s events was the Lipscomb-Freed-Hardeman basketball game. At half-time came the an- nouncement of winners among the so- cial club entrants. Of the women’s clubs, Sigma Phi captured the honor of first place with the ‘‘Winnie the Pooh”’ parade. Delta Sigma’s ‘‘Peter Pan Marching Band’’ flew into second place, and Psi Alpha’s theme of ‘‘Bi- sons, you can do magic”’ was trans- formed into the third place winner. Sigma Chi Delta’s ‘‘Olympic Stars” gloried in the men’s first place position with a 135-mile relay run from Hender- son to Nashville. ‘‘Roll over ‘em Bi- sons’’ carried the wheelchaired Sigma lota Delta to second place, and the Quasimotos of Alpha Tau swung into third place with ‘‘AT has a hunce Bi- sons will win.” 86 BISON DAY BISON DAY 87 aoa i We zi a ew ee oe oa eine 3 bit nH ‘4 PI DELTA As aclub constantly moving forward, Pi Delta participated in a variety of ac- tivities during the year.

An annual canoe trip was taken on the Buf- falo River which is one of the most pop- ular canoe recreation spots in Tennes- see. The club’s journey down the river involved ten miles of paddling.

The club began the year by winning first place in Bison Day competition for its theme of ‘‘Winnie the Pooh.”’ The first place award was won over Psi Alpha, which had been in first place for three consecu- tive years. Several hayrides and a Halloween party was also enjoyed by the club members. A Valentine party was held in February as the club members took a break from the work on Homecoming and intramu- ral basketball. Sigma Phi supported the Chicago group in Singarama and held its annual banquet at the Old Hickory Country Club. Entertain- ment for the banquet was supplied by ‘Mystical Illusion,’’ a group which included Kim Schrum, Mike Schrum, Steve Kirby, and Charlie Brummit. Awards were presented and new of- ficers for the next year were an- nounced.

SIGMA CHI DELTA Beginning the year by winning first place in the men’s Bison Day com- petition, Sigma Chi Delta made an excellent start for 1978. With an ac- tual trek from Freed Hardeman Col- lege to Nashville, the club held all Bison Day fan’s in suspence as a short wait was endured before the members arrived from the long run. Sigma Chi Delta enjoyed a visit to Potter’s Orphan Home with Psi Al- pha. Later the club members partici- pated in the Thanksgiving carnival for the school. A party was held dur- ing fall quarter in a local park. First place was won by Sigma Chi Delta, along with several other clubs for the imaginative exhibit of ‘Bison En- counters of a Different Kind.’’ The club moved up the intramural scale from winning second place in foot- ball play-offs to first place in basket- ball competitions. A trip to Gatlin- burg was taken spring quarter after the club won second place in the ‘New York’’ section of Singarama. The annual banquet was held at the new Opryland Hotel where alumnus Bill McDonald spoke, and Tim Hut- son provided the musical entertain- ment, both vocal and instrumental. Afterwards, the movie Silver Streak was shown. Several members of Sig- ma Chi Delta were honored as the club remained a gathering of suc- cessful individuals. Andy Hooper re- ceived the Bachelor of Ugliness award. He was also the president of I.C.C. and was listed in Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities.

The club placed third in Bison Day competi- tion for women. The 1978 placing made the fourth year in a row that the women have won an award for creative Bison Day costumes. Psi Al- pha was also involved in the shcool bake-off, making pies and cakes that were used by students to throw at co-operative teachers during the fall drive. Psi Alpha women gained a to- tal of ten pledges over the year after deciding not to accept pledges spring quarter. The club sponsored an Italian Dinner at Harpeth Hills. Church of Christ in February. The night's entertainment centered around a Clark Gable movie, It Hap- pened One Night. The spring ban- quet for Psi Alpha was held at the Cumberland Club with another party following at a club member’s home.

A redoubtable B.J. Van- derbladder, played by Brent Wiseman, realized the gratification of the songs and movies which will always remain the oldies but goodies. With the help of the lovable ghost of Hollywood past, portrayed by Paul Nance, Vanderblad- der learned to smile once again, recog- nizing the hope for his movie empire. Making the winning combination of Hollywood were Alpha Sigma, Alpha Tau, Psi Alpha, Sigma lota Delta, and Zeta Nu. In charge of the production were director Lee Milam, assistant di- rector Allen Reynolds, music coordina- tor Denise Yeargin, stage directors John Robinson, and Margaret Hutche- son, set director Keene Bartlet, cos- tume director Pam Mclinturff, script coordinator Tom Royse, and pianist Gerald Becton.

The Queen, played by Susan Dickerson, learns a valuable les- son about enjoying living which she would have never learned at Bucking- ham Palace. Don Dotson, her royal husband, seeks the help of England's most famous sleuths: James Bond, Sherlock Holmes, and dear Watson, played by Alan Shoaf, Chris Smith, and Burt Nowers, respectively. The audi- ence viewed London through the eyes of the Queen as she watched the Bea- tles perform, saw chimney sweeps at work, and heard songs from the musi- cal, My Fair Lady. The clubs involved in the staging of the London production were Delta Delta, Kappa Chi, Omega Nu, Pi Delta, and Tau Phi.

Featuring the situations of the city at various times, such as the begin- ning of the Mafia, the controlling of business by the crime leaders, and the Chicago fire, as well as life today, the group covered everyday life by using a mixture of old and new songs. Delta Nu, Omega Chi, Phi Omega, and Sigma Phi put on the production. Leading the Chicago group were director Robert McCready, musical director Gerald Becton, staging director Mike Thrash- er, set director Lisa Lane, and costume directors Karen Cowles and Jo Ann Pittman.

Veterans of multi-medea exposure, the group lived up to its reputation as ultra professional. Sam Wellington, Glen Bates, Brent Burkett, and Gary Buck are regular members of the Grand Ole Opry and hold the Opry record of 33 consecutive encore appearances. Not surprisingly, the concert was an early sell-out. Sponsors as well as singers themselves were pleased to note such avid student support of higher quality Campus entertainment. 108 FALL EVENTS GENE COTTON With songs as sensitive as his guitar's classical e’tudes, Gene Cotton touched and ticked the fancy of listening hun- dreds. The evening concert early in Oc- tober marked the first performance of a nationally known artist at Lipscomb in several years. The audience ex- pressed pleasure as Cotton’s songs evidenced an aesthetic repertoire as extensive as that of his music. No novice to the music industry with four albums to his credit, the perform- er has recently fused his style with that of Kim Carnes to effect a hit single. It looks as if the rose-colored life is just beginning for the Nashville writer. Years hence, seeing his name in lights . ah, remember when. THE SAXONS As comfortable with pop and folk as with country and gospel, the Saxons never failed to please their listeners’ musical palates. Regularly including Lipscomb on its tour of local entertain- ment spots, the home-grown, now high-flown band performed along with the Four Guys at the December con- cert. Each member felt at home on the Lipscomb stage, having been involved in Lipscomb academics previously. Poise and talent abounding, the Sax- ons held forth in their latest contribu- tions to campus entertainment with an outdoor concert. Unhampered by nei- ther rain nor arrangements that have dulled into musical cliches’, the group offered familiar ballads with an unpre- dictable and refreshing air. Their audi- ence was duly enthralled. FALL EVENTS 109 ‘a THE FANTASTICS OPENS DRAMA The drama department's first pro- duction of the year was THE FAN- TASTICS. The plot centered around the story of two fathers who were best friends and trying to get their children to marry. (1) Dennis Milliken performed his first role on the Arena Theater stage. He showed promise in college dramatics. (2) Director Rick Moore pooled school-wide talent for the play. He laid the groundwork for the future successes of the one-act plays and the THE GLASS MENAGERIE. (3) Dirk Forrister played the part of El Gallo in the college production that he had formerly played in high school. He won the 1977 Tottie Award for Best Sup- porting Actor. The Totties are awards given 110 FALL QUARTER EVENTS each year by the drama department. (4) Larry Brown showed personal charm with the audience. His credits include THE MATCHMAKER and THE DEVIL AND DANIEL WEBSTER. (5) David McDonough demon- strated experience as well as talent as he gained even more experience with this play. (6) Richard Burton gave a poised perfor- mance in a difficult role. He has directed THE RELUCTANT DOCTOR and THE CURIOUS SAVAGE. Barry Hardy (not pictured) was also a favorite with the audience. He starred in CAROUSEL, THE RAINMAKER, and OUR TOWN. Nelson Eddy (not pictured) gave an intense performance as usual. He played in CAMELOT, and THE CHALK GARDEN. Cindy Harless (center, opposite page) showed a visi- ble feel for grasping the control of her lines. This production was her first role at Lips- comb. FALL QUARTER EVENTS 111 GATLIN Larry Gatlin, a singer to remember, brought to Lipscomb a cool blending of soft country and exciting rock. The country-western performer was popu- 112 WINTER QUARTER EVENTS lar with the Lipscomb audience at his concert in January. Although the weather was worse than usual for Lips- comb students, Gatlin’s music seemed to be better than usual. His audience appeal and love of people showed through the russed exterior of his western garb. Gatlin is a singer who will make it to the big time even more as the years progress. STEVENS Dressed in a red blazer, country sing- er Ray Stevens launched an evening of audience participation during his con- cert in March. He combined pop, no- velty songs, and spirituals as well as country for two hours of entertain- ment. The full Alumni Auditorium shook with vibration as the large audience gave the well-known performer a standing ovation. Steven's costumes were unique and enjoyable. His manner was also easy-going and interesting. The concert supplied an outlet of wholesome entertainment which could not have been topped anywhere else. WINTER QUARTER EVENTS 113 ” aaa Zz Lid = Lid oc Lid b= ac rs, oO or Lid z = SS + re re ONE ACT PLAYS MAKE FEATURE INTERESTS The main drama production for win- ter quarter was a series of interesting one act plays. The short plays provided fine entertainment which contained more variety than longer plays. Under the supervision of Drama Coach Rick Moore, the plays were individually di- rected by students. Allowing the stu- dents to direct the plays gave much valuable stage experience which can only be learned through working be- fore and with an audience. The student directors were responsible for the im- portant aspects of production. Not only were they in charge of selecting the casts, but they personally super- vised such facets as seeing that the lighting, costumes, settings and scripts were Satistactory. The first play on the agenda was “THE PUPPET MASTERS” by William Mimms. The plot involved an allegory of faith where a young puppet realizes his freedom. Julie Conyer narrated the play with Nelson Eddy playing the Boy Puppet and Cathy Shankland (who is pictured below,) portraying the Girl Puppet. The play was directed by Nel- son Eddy. Another play presented during the winter production was THE DAIRY OF ADAM AND EVE. Written by Mark Twain, the story centered around the lives of the first man and woman on earth. Kimbra Roberts, a multi-talent- ed actress, not only directed the play, but she also adapted it for stage as well as played the part of Eve. Brent Wise- man portrayed Adam. “SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY and PLAZA SUITE”’ were other plays pre- sented. Edgar Lee Master’s play was actually made up of a number of mono- logues of the citizens of Spoon River Valley. Merrie Giansante directed this play and was assisted by Missy Cos- tello. The casts of the plays consisted of Randy Davidson, Becky Collins, Pat Hatfield, Clay Walker, Nelson Eddy, An- gela Gregory, Kimbra Roberts, Jan Binkley, Larry Brown, Cathy Shank- land, and David McDonough. WINTER QUARTER EVENTS 115 THE GLASS MENAGERIE — MAY 15-19 The drama production for spring quarter was Tennessee Williams’ GLASS MENAGERIE. Directed by Rick Moore, the play’s plot centered around the story of a family who is searching for identity. Linda Sparks played the mother, Amanda Wingfield. The char- acter of Amanda was a demanding role which Miss Sparks handled beautifully. Portraying an empty life, Miss Sparks captured the sincere desperation of Amanda as she tries to control the lives of her children. Laura Wingfield was , � Fy om Z — - f Be ee ah elaine to ; “g ‘ “Ne A 116 SPRING QUARTER EVENTS played by Missy Costello, who has re- cently made a name for herself on the Lipscomb stage. Miss Costello gave a stirring performance of the innocent girl who is unable to cope with reality. The part of Tom Wingfield was played by Clay Walker, who was well known to the Lipscomb stage. Walker brought into the intense plot the hatred of Tom for his existence in the tenement of St. Louis. Ken Graham, who played Jim O'Connor, (the gentleman caller) grafi- cally held the audiences’ attention with his quiet and sincere portrayal of the young extrovert. Generally, the play was a success, having run for four per- formances. aay ea ee eS a The scenes on the opposite page and below illustrate the plot of the play.

THOMAS HEADS SPRING CONCERTS With 20 million records behind him and a musical infinity before him, B.J. Thomas flooded the campus with his special brand of energy, optimism, and rhythm. The two-performance concert was a catalyst for city-wide fervor, affording Lipscomb its first nationally acknowledged pop singer in decades. Fifteen musicians accompanied Thomas through each of his sets with preci- sion and flair, replicating his earlier hits with astounding accuracy. The stage design was simple, curtained props disguising sound equipment and allowing extended space to the band. The Saxons, a Lipscamb-based group, served as the opening act for Thom- as, taking an already excited audience to even greater anticipation. And as his concert began, the star of the show proved himself a deserving object of the minor legend that has grown up around him. The first of his two performances unfolded upon a B.J. Thomas in all his stellar splendor. Formal attire and a highly structured format contributed to the aura about him. Contrasting drastically was his later performance as it revealed a relaxed Thomas in casual dress and joking attitude. Each perfor- mance was adequately stunning to elicit back-to-back ovations from the audi- ences and twin encores from the star. TE I TIT (top) B.J. Thomas pauses briefly before singing his first encore number. (2). Every singer needs important Libscomb garb to complete his wardrobe.

The 21 and 6 rec- ord was the best winning percentage since the 1965-66 1965-66 mark of 20 and 4. In addition to the regular sea- son, the BISONS hosted two exhibition contests; the annual game against the basketball alumni, and an international game against the Olympic team of Scotland. The BISONS were victorious in both games. During the halftime of the Scotland game, a ‘‘slam dunk”’ contest between Kenny Neal, Larry Russell and James Gardner foreshad- owed things to come for the BISONS. In his third year as head coach, Don Meyer has turned a faltering program into an exciting, defensively oriented, and winning team-concept style of bas- ketball. With the assistance of Rusty McCain and Steve Davidson, Coach Meyer has compiled a 50 and 34 re- cord in his three seasons at Lipscomb. Four sen iors led the way for the BI- SONS this year. Billy Bennett, Eddie Clausel and Doug Dodge were at Lips- comb for four years, while Bernard Card played for two seasons after ity VAP g pimp vany 1 i ve a ¢ Wig ans transferring from Alabama Christian. Their leadership and abilities were prevalent in the success of the season. A fine crop of freshmen, however, pro- vided lots of excitement in the out- come of the year’s effort. James Gard- ner, Brett Harcourt, Rick Kyle, Garry Quarles, Larry Russell, and Bob Shaw saw plenty of action for the BISONS and were able to prove that the pro- gram of the future is in good hands. As a team, the BISONS hit on 51.3% of their field goal attempts and on 67.5% of their free throw attempts. Kenny Neal was the leading scorer with an 11.8 per game average. The aver- age BISON game saw Lipscomb win 71 to 66 and out-rebound the opposition 35 to 30. The leading rebounder was Ed Matlock with 4.8 boards while Eddie Clausel led in assists averaging 3.6 per contest. The District 24 games proved the nemesis for the BISONS as a 7 and 5 district record kept the squad from post-season tournament play. The team, however, was 16 and 2 in McQuiddy and is working on a 14 game winning streak at home. OPPOSITE PAGE: (1) Ralph Turner watches the ball seconds after passing it.

Besides boosting school morale at basketball games, the cheerleaders often deco- rated the team’s locker room, contri- buting to its spirit as well. On two occa- sions during the season the squad held receptions for the team members, par- ents, coaches and managers.

Cheerleaders supplied an important element in the winning of basketball games. Without their dedication and energy, the team might not have had the right kind of support it needed to make the highest record in 12 years. Cheerleaders attended all basketball games and worked hard for victory all season long. ii aia a i Oe ge ; sa inhi kamen eR A ene AER SN AE OE 4 mH SAAN Wie NENG NE i SB i, SoS RRRIRRENE GIRLS’ NET FIRST SEASON Being the first women’s basketball team at Lipscomb since 1931, the Lady Bisons performed well with a sea- son record of 6-9. The beginning of the season ran with nine consecutive losses, but the team changed the tide suddenly and won every game after- wards. One of the setbacks of the sea- son was the loss of two key players, Julie Kinser and Vickie Clark. Both women suffered injuries at the begin- ning of the season and were forced to drop out of the play line-up. Among the scoring leaders for the team were LaWanna Edwards 14.0, Rhonda Bingham 12.0, and Connie Bentley 8.1. The leading rebounders were LaWanna Edwards 7.3, Cindy Perry 6.5, and Leasa Slater 5.5. Cindy Perry, a fresh- man from Smyrna High School in Smyrna, Tn., quickly made a name for herself as she continued to play the same agressive ballgame for which she was known in high school. The women who received awards at the end of the year for their work on the team were 138 WOMEN’'S BASKETBALL Rhonda Bingham — Most Valuable Player, Karen Wallace — Sportsman- ship Award, and Heidi Overall — Most Improved Player.

Although some members suffered a few injuries, the team placed sixth in the NAIA National Championship. Bobby Seale placed fourth in floor exercise, sophomore John Schasny won seventh on the hori- zontal bar and sophomore John Dunn 140 GYMNASTICS took third place in rings, losing second in this event by only 4 100 of a point. Coach Hanvey celebrated his fif- teenth year as varsity gymnastic coach at Lipscomb. For eight of his first four- teen years as varsity coach, he was undefeated in dual meet competition. He saw the gymnastics team win countless honors over the years includ- ing a fourth place standing in the NAIA Tournament in 1969.

BADMINTON TEAM’S WORK PAYS OFF The badminton team, under the di- rection of Coach Duane Slaughter, had a successful season in 1978. The sport which is sometimes mi sunderstood by other athletes and sportsfans proved to be challenging for the team of six players. The season, which began win- ter quarter, involved five tournaments. Playing in the Tennessee State College tournament, the badminton team scored third in the state. Later, the team traveled to Arkansas, Martin, Tn., and Memphis, Tn., to other important tournaments. It was not uncommon for the team to have to win four or five matches in order to be the victors in the divisions being played. The players had to be in good condition in order to be able to play several matches contin- ously. Sometimes the players were re- quired to play eight or nine matches in five or six hours. Three of the squad lettered during the year. Yvonne Elliott received one trophy, Mike McCoy, six; Jay Gore, five; and Lynn Wilks, two. In its second year as an intercollegiate sport, in- stead of an extracurricular pastime, the team worked on important fea- tures fo the game during the year. ‘Badminton takes a great deal of conditioning and skill. If the players are well skilled but in bad condition, they can't last long enough to play the en- tire match. You have to react quicker to the birdie. You can't let it bounce. In badminton, most shots are hit over- head as opposed to tennis,’’ Coach Slaughter said. The badminton team began practic- ing fall quarter in preparation for the winter season. The team members spent one evening each week in McQuiddy Gym working for an average of two hours per session. BADMINTON TEAM.

With a unit comprised predominetely of freshmen, Coach Joey Haines led his runners through a winning season. Ten colleges of comparable size to Lipscomb sent cross country teams to the Tennessee Intercollegiate Athetic Conference in Percy Warner Park. Out- standing performances in that and suc- ceeding meets led to statewide recog- nition for several of the ‘‘thinclads.”’ Chosen for berths on the All District Team were Mark Keeley, Bobbie Mar- tin, and Jim Row. The All State Team included Kelley, Martin, Jim Busby, and Phil Rock among its ranks. Coach Haines stressed and received continual improvem ent from his novice track stars. With leadership from his few older runners, the team placed 42nd in a field of 80 schools participat- ing in the NAIA national meet. The Car- son-Newman Invitational meet held even more satisfaction for Lipscomb cross country aces as they established themselves as the victors. And in the mind of the coaching staff, if 1978's young runners continue to do as well as they have been doing, the team will continue to be successful for some time. 1978 CROSS COUNTRY TEAM.

CROSS COUNTRY 145 TRACK MAKES GOOD YEAR SHOWING Lipscomb’s track record for 1978 was high, with good showings in both the indoor and outdoor sections. Be- ginning the indoor season in January, the team, under the leadership of Coach Joey Haines, made seventeenth place in the National Indoor Meet held in Kansas City, Missouri. Several records were set during the year by members of the indoor team. Ricky Steely set team history in the shot-put category with a 55-foot, one and three-fourths inches record; four feet and one inch over the old setting. Three team members made the NAIA All America Indoor Team. Jim Bloom- ingburg came in fourth in the 440 yard dash. Steely placed fifth in the shot-put category and Charles Lamb had a fifth place standing in 600 yard run. The outdoor track season started in March with the highlight being the win- ning of the TAIC Meet which was held in Clarksville, Tennessee. Lipscomb host- ed the NAIA District 24 Championship at the Hendersonville High School track. Several new records were set during that meet. Among the outdoor records set during the year were those made by George Etheridge, Ricky Steely, Bill Bodiford, and Charles Lyle. Etheridge scored in the long jump with 23 feet, triple jump with over 46 feet, and the hurdles with 14 feet and eight inches. Steely set a record for the shot-put with 53 feet, eight inches. Bo- diford tied the district record in the high jump with six feet, eight inches. The mile relay team also set a new dis- trict record. Mark Keeley set yet an-— other district record in the 5000 meter — run. Lipscomb team worked hard in the var- ious categories. The 400-meter relay team placed fifth at the national meet held in Abilene, Texas. The mile relay At the NAIA Outdoor Track Meet, the - team placed fourth and both teams — made the All-American rating. Out of 187 teams competing at the national outdoor meet, Lipscomb finished in the thirty-first place. 146 TRACK TRACK 147 ‘4 ’ bates | SEER] A 4 j if 4 4 148 MEN’S TENNIS MEN’S TENNIS HOSTS DISTRICT GAMES The men's tennis team reached its goal of high expectations for the 1978 season. With a team record of 15- 7 as of press time in mid-May, the players were invited to host the NAIA District 24 Playoffs which were a _ stepping stone to the national tournaments. Lipscomb sported an undefeated rec- ord in the District competition, thus obtaining the advantage of hosting the playoffs, an honor which is always giv- en to the team with the best district record. Top player Phillip Lancaster was expected to qualify for the national singles. Bob Bruce and Steve Gaines completed the top three positions on the team. Lancaster and Gaines were the first doubles team of the Lipscomb squad. Beginning practice during fall quar- ter, the team members continued to work on their game whenever possible. Several hours of practice were involved in work sessions during the regular sea- son. Since the squad will be losing Lan- caster next season after he graduates, the younger players will continue work- ing toward the NAIA championship. The team showed considerable strength this year in defeating the Ten- nessee Wesleyan and Carson-Newman matches which were expected to be the toughest of the season. Lipscomb came out on top in both of these con- tests. Coach Slaughter stated the team has developed well and will continue to improve. He displayed a pleased atti- tude at the squad’s victory over the Carson-Newman and Tennessee Wes- leyan teams. He went on to emphasize that playing a good game of tennis was more important than competition for competition’s sake. Playing against teams which were close in the same ability range as the Lipscomb team, he concluded, enabled the team to im- prove during the year. OPPOSITE PAGE. (1.) John Crothers. (2.)

The season involved playing against such tough teams as the University-of the South, Southwestern, Austin Peay, and Tennessee Tech. Coach Duty, who is in her second season as the women's tennis coach, reported her satisfaction with the season. The freshmen per- formed well and should be a large asset to next year's team, according to Coach Duty. She also stated women’s tennis is up and coming across the country as well as at Lipscomb. Women who did not have interests in sports ten years ago are beginning to want the competition and the chance to play. Coach Duty went on to say that ele- mentary school programs are helpful for women’s collegiate sports because girls are becoming co-ordinated in sports earlier in life. Amy Hooper, who played the first po- sition most of the season, had a suc- cessful year. Although the freshman had a difficult position to hold, she con- sistently managed to prove her tennis ability. LaWanna Edwards and Barbara Pryor led the team in doubles play. Debby Barrett was elected the team’s most valuable player, and Kathy Han- vey was given the team’s sportsman- ship award. BELOW.

In four of the seven tournaments played, the team finished either first or sec- ond. The golfers won the Sewanee Invi- tational Tournament, and were run- ners-up in the Opryland Collegiate Classic, as well as the State Champion- ship. They were also runners-up in the NAIA District 24 Championship. Individ- ually, the golfers fared as well as they did in team formation. Ed McClellan won the Sewanee Invitational Tourna- ment and David Tudor was a runner-up in the State Tournament. As a highlight of the season, Tudor and Denis Duncan made the all-State golf team. The team traveled to Florida, Alabama, and North Carolina for several of their tour- naments. Next February, the golfers will play in the John S.

BASEBALL 157 ‘a CIVINETTES WORK ON MANY PROJECTS 160 Upholding the true meaning of their club’s purpose in building good citizen- ship, the Civinettes became involved in a large number of projects during the year. As pledging opened last fall, the membership of the service club, which works mostly with the Civitans, in- creased to fifty members. Among some of the activities in which the Ci- vinettes participated were working with a girls’ 4-H club, tutoring at Ten- nessee Orphan’s Home, visiting with the elderly at Lakeshore Home, and planning parties for the pupils at the Tennessee School for the Blind. The Civinettes were also co-sponsors with the Lipscomb Civitans in the Blood Drive and assisted their sponsoring club, the Green Hills Civitans, in raising money for more special projects. Under the leadership of president Louise Malcolm, pledges were ad- mitted to the club after fulfilling several requirements. One of the main duties which the pledges performed was mak- ing a book which contained the Civin- ettes’ creed, actives’ names, and infor- mation as well as an interesting fact about each member. The pledges also served the actives at mealtimes and had a visit with every Civinette for at least fifteen minutes. The pledging pro- cedures, which lasted for two weeks each quarter, ended when the future Civinette actives were tested on the club’s creed and the members’ inter- esting facts. Formal initiation involved a dinner with the actives of both the Civitan and Civinette Clubs at which certificates and pins showing recogni- tion of the new memberships were awarded. As the Civinettes increased the scope of their various activities over the year, they were able to fulfill more extensive community services. Mem- bers visited Mrs. Nola Markham every week at Lakeshore Home as they chose her for their ‘‘Adopted Grand- mother.’ They often brightened her days as they sent flowers and plants. They also went to Knowles Home for the Aged once a month and sang songs requested by he residents. The Civin- ettes worked steadily during the blood drive to collect 100 points of blood eacy day of the efforts. Although the school is no longer required to main- tain a definite quota at each drive, the Civinettes still participated in advertis- ing the drive and assisting those givin; blood. The women visited Cloverbot tom Hospital once each quarter to pla: with the children. They later sponsoret the Jim McMean Scholarship in mem ory of a former Lipscomb student whi died eight years ago. Taking time ot from their local projects, the Civinette attended their annual national conver tion in March where Debbie Poff wa elected ‘‘Civinette of the Year.’’ The also had a pancake breakfast with th Green Hills Civitans as they planne even more projects and communit services for the future.

CIVITANS TUTOR AT HAPPY HILLS, WORK WITH BLOOD DRIVES Varsity proved to be the spice of life as Campus members were involved in numerous activities during the year. Sponsoring the important blood drives with their sister club, the Civinettes, they helped in a time of crisis during the winter snows. Civitan members also worked with children at the Happy Hills Boys Ranch tutoring basic sub- jects. The Civitans worked with the Green Hills Civitans in sponsoring a Muscular Dystrophy Carnival for neighborhood elementary schools. Club members also collected for the Vanderbilt Chi- dren’s Hospital and the Kidney Fund. Througho ut the long winter of 1977- 1978, the Civitans put together a shut- in list and visited homes daily to help those who could not get groceries or shovel snow from their walkways. Later in the year, the Civitans partici- pated in a rockathon for Muscular Dys- trophy. Civitans from all over Tennes- see brought their rocking chairs to 100 Oaks Shopping Center and rocked for six hours to help the research of the disease. The members of the Civitan club collected money from sponsers who agreed to pay a certain amount per hour that they rocked. Much time and effort was also spent by the club collecting money for the American Cancer Society. A Civitan banquet was held at the Goose Creek Inn during spring quarter. Making plans for next year, the Civitans decided to do so at Fall Creek Falls where they went sightseeing and invit- ed The Saxons for their entertainment. Future expansion for the club will be extensive next year. The Civitan club gained a large num- ber of members during the year. Num- bers of members went from 12 to 50 before the last quarter of the year wa- sover. Pledging the Civitan club in- volved a rush party and meeting the actives. Pledges visited with Civitans and had them sign their pledge books. Afterwards, pledging periods were end- ed by formal initiations. Pledging exer- cises took place three of the year's four quarters. 1978 CIVITANS FRONT ROW: Phillip Forsythe, Steve Huff, Allen Burris, Todd Taylor, Walt Anderson, Randy Corder, |. Burton Bradford.

The enjoyment which the members of the two groups received by their fellowship together and with the people they helped is evi- 162 CIVITANS — CIVINETTES denced in the following pictures. Spending an eventful year helping oth- ers, the groups accomplished a great deal. When they were visiting the Ten- nessee Orphan Home or having an out- ing just for their own fun, the Civitans and Civinettes proved that being ina service club provided an excellent out- let for being involved in community work. CIVITANS — CIVINETTES 163 164 a K-ETTES VISIT AGED, ORPHANS; HELP MARCH OF DIMES Community work consumed the ef- forts and extra time of the K-ettes dur- ing 1978. Combining forces in enthusi- asm and general hard work with Circle K, K-ettes participated in such activi- ties as visiting at Lakeshore Home for the Aged and helping handicapped chil- dren at Outlook Nashville. Visits were conducted once a week at Lakeshore Home where the K-ettes sang and of- ten held parties for the elderly resi- dents. At Outlook Nashville, the club worked with the handicapped children through therapeutical exercises. Also children with multiple handicaps at the Murci Home were benefitted by the frequent visits of the K-ettes. Their Buva project involved bringing small black children to the movies on Lipscomb campus, giving a Christmas party, and providing an Easter Egg Hunt. Fund raising for the March of Dimes, Heart Fund, and Muscular Dys- trophy also kept the K-ettes busy. They actively participated in the Hemophilia Telethon held this spring. The K-ettes grew to include 74 mem- bers after adding 32 new members during the fall and winter quarters. In keeping with their purpose of serving others throughout the community, these new members will help to carry out the many obligations of the K- ettes. COS A RE THE 1978 K-ETTES.

CIRCLE K WORKS WITH PRISONERS, HELPS CHILDREN Circle K accomplished much during the 1977-1978 school year. Working with prisoners and children offered the club an opportunity to share their influ- ence with others. In the prisoner pro- gram, the Circle K members tutored inmates in math, English, and history. At Tennessee Preparatory school they played with the children on a regular basis. Together with K-ettes, Civitans, and Civinettes, Circle K held a work- shop for high school young people. They took them on tours of the David Lipscomb College campus and invited the young people to attend chapel with them. The Circle K Club often works in close collaboration with the local Kiwanis Club in the community. The members of Circle K ushered for a Kiwanis travel log, and at the movie presentation they sold crates of or- anges to raise money for their various projects. : Lipscomb functions as the host for the District Convention of Circle K. On ‘the international level, Jimmy Burnette serves as an officer and attended the International Convention in Kansas City. Circle K had a fall banquet and a spring picnic. Carl Seigenthaler re- ceived the highly estemmed Michael F. Adams award which is given each year to the Circle K member who shows outstanding service to the club. Circle K continued to work for the betterment of the community as mem- bers visited Outlook Nashville, Murci Home, Spencer Youth Center, and La- keshore Home for the Aged. They also did volunteer work for the Hemophilia Foundation and collected for the March of Dimes. At the Spencer Youth Center, which is a correctional school, Circle K worked with young boys who were 16 years old and older. The club was in- volved in many activities which amounted to being a friend to the boys. Club members visited the center, where they were assigned persons to help, once a week. Working with the Hemophilia Foun- dation, Circle K members participated in a planned telethon. They called many people who had pledged before and asked them if they were going to pledge again. A talent show at Lake- shore Home for the Aged was also giv- en with the help of the K-ettes. Several members of both groups sang and played the piano for the residents. Se- lections from the SOUND OF MUSIC and DOCTOR ZHIVAGO were among the works performed. Afterwards, re- freshments were served and a devo- tional was given. Fall quarter Circle K voted Willard Collins as an Outstanding Leader in the community and made him an hon- orary member of David Lipscomb’s Cir- cle K Club. CIRCLE K MEMBERS.

The pictures below and on the opposite page were taken when the clubs had a period of fellowship with the residents. Several club members sang and played the piano while others conducted a devotional afterwards. Refreshments were also served. The visitation program is impor- tant to the two clubs. Although it is good for the elderly to see young faces, much is gained for both age groups. Companionship with an el- derly person can help fill the home- sickness gap which is sometimes prevalent when away from home. CIRCLE K, K-ETTES 167 ‘4 GOOD NEWS — WHAT IT’S DOING...

Good News began in 1973 when it was Called Missions Emphasis. Working closely with Walker, a well-known cam- paign organizer, Gray took interest in the small group of students who want- ed to become involved in mission work. By spring quarter of that year, the work of the group was expanded to the concept of Christian service in various areas. The services of the group were offered to local congregations for door- knocking and other needs. Planning many weekend campaigns, the group also sponsored a newsletter which kept people informed on every happen- ing within the club. Membership at one time reached 200. During winter spring quarters of 1976, Carl McKelvey and Dr. Ralph Butler as well as Gray and Walker, dis- cussed a combining concept of bring- ing all the religious service groups into an over-lapping ‘‘umbrella’’ group where they would have contact with each other. From that idea, the con- 170 GOOD NEWS cept of the Good News Organization developed. Ten chapters which includ- ed Dac, Good News, Project Italy, Hos- pital Singers, and the Tennessee Or- phan’s Home Tutors met together and shared ideas. All groups still functioned individually of the Good News Organi- zation, but met together on Monday nights. From this move, a re-enact- ment of the Preachers’ Club and the formation of Project Good News were added. Currently, the Good News Or- ganization is being re-evaluated by its leaders to see how it can further serve everyone. “e There are many requirements which students have to meet before and dur- ing their service in the mission field. They must participate in some chapter of the Good News Organization. They must also work in an outreach program of a local congregation. They must at- tend an outreach program selected or approved by the Valdosta elders. Par- ticipation in one major campaign effort - or engagement in one summer of full time work with a church is also re- quired. Later, a supporting congrega- tion is found which will help pay the expenses of the student. missionary while he or she is an apprentice in the field up to two years. Once a support- ing congregation is found, the elders of the Valdosta congregation have no fur- ther jurisdiction. The trainee is placed in an area which is selected on the bases of need, availability, as well as where he or she wants to go. The train- ees will normally be sent in pairs though final determination will depend on need. It is understood that all ap- prenticed workers will abide by the de- cisions of the overseeing elders. The elders have the right to terminate the support and to bring the worker home for any action which they feel is unwar- ranted, or due to the development of undesirable factors in the working ar- rangements in the mission area. Length of stay can also be altered by agreement with sponsoring elders. THE WORK OF A MISSIONARY Dr. Joseph Gray along with Dr. Fred Walker has worked closely with the Good News Organization for several years. As an experienced missionary Gray teaches many clases with a mission emphasis. While a student at Lipscomb, Gray served as an edi- tor of the BACKLOG. He has partici- pated in campaigns for the church on all contents. He has also worked on a temporary basis in 65 coun- tries. Gray’s first mission work began as a survey at the request of the con- gregation in Valdosta, Ga., to deter- mine fertile fields for mission work. He looked at opportunities, govern- ment officials, and religious as well as political restrictions. After the be- ginning, Gray took an active interest in the mission field of New Zealand. He helped a 30 year goal for evange- lization of the country to the extent that 80% of the population would someday live within a 30 mile radius of a congregation of the church. 16 years into this growth period, New Zealand has exhibited a steady growth. It will soon become a mis- sion base. 1500, to 2000 people have been baptiz ed there in the past 15 years, 1000 of whom are faithful Christians. Half of the mission car- ried on in New Zealand is now done by New Zealand residents. A Bible Chair has been established in con- junction with one of the universities there. There are three congrega- tions on the verge of becoming total- ly self supporting in New Zealand. The work in New Zealand has been a source of opportunities in three South Pacific Island nations. Cam- paign groups have visited Samoa. Natives of Melanesia were convert- ed and the church was started there. Work has also begun in Fuji with the Polynesian people. STUDENT MISSIONARIES.

The chorus learned a large number of new spiritual and clas- sical songs which were met with enthu- siasm by audiences throughout the year. Participating in the Annual Spring Choral Festival, A Cappella joined with Chorale as well as a large number of high school choruses in a joint appear- ance in March. Much time and talent were devoted by A Cappella singers as special performances were given for those who may have not normally been able to attend concerts, such as the residents of the Lelah Rose Old Folks Home. Other general performances were given often at congregations in Nashville and some surrounding towns after Sunday night worship services. A Cappella members enjoyed fellow- ships and chances to become better acquainted as a retreat was attended at Standing Stone State Park in the fall and a singing tour in Georgia and Flor- ida was placed on the agenda for March. The main purpose of the fall retreat was for new members to get to know those who were no longer nov- ices. While singing for various congre- gations on the Spring Tour, the A Cap- pella Chorus visited several schools such as Boyd Buchanon Christian School and Jacksonville Christian School. During the Spring Tour, the singers enjoyed a free afternoon of sail- ing off the gulf at Panama City, FIl., as well as receptions after performances. A Cappella also took time out from a busy schedule of practices and con- certs to have a large number of picnics, banquets, and the traditional Christ- mas Party.

BAND FEATURES JAZZ, SYNTHEISER Under the direction of Steve Deasey, the Lipscomb band served a popular cause for the student body. Featuring classical as well as easy listening and rock music, the band played at basket- ball games and several concerts throughout the year. One of the most popular concerts was that of the Octo- ber Open House which was held out- side. The student body responded well to the band’s playing of a Carly Simon Medl ey and Barry Manilow songs. The themes from the movies Rocky and Star Wars were also featured. The mu- sic to the popular Broadway play, An- nie was also played by the band. The 55 instrument band met four times a week for practice during fall 176 BAND and winter quarters. Instrumental mu- sic majors who were required to be in the band were joined by non-music ma- jors who shared interest in the organi- zation. A jazz band was organized and played at many ballgames. Alan Reyn- olds and Brian Carter helped direct the jazz band. This year was the first year that an el ectric guitar with a syntheiser was used by the band. Deasey helped make possible the Middle Tennessee College Band Orga- nization, which was begun this year. Other local schools such as Vanderbilt, Peabody, Belmont, and Trebecca also took part in this endeavor. One of the most helpful services which the band supplied to the student body was its participation in singar- ama. Each director of a singarama group ordered various instruments from Deasey. The band members sup- plied and arranged most of the music with Deasey’s help. The largest order came from Lee Milam who directed the Hollywood group. Milam used 20 in- struments from the band. With a large band such as the Lips- comb one, the help of every member was important. Without that help, the perfect harmony of music could not have been possible. Much time and ef- fort were given by the band members in order to insure fine entertainment for the student body.

They were two devot- ed people whose abilities to work hard proved a success in laying the groundwork for the changes which David Sampson and Sherri Turbyfield were able to accomplish during their tenure in office. Miss Weathers, a Business Management and Modern Economics major, was urged to run for the position of secretary by former student body president, Venny Mathews. Mathews convinced her that she was Suited for the position and that she should run. With the backing of several close friends, Miss Weathers ran and won the election. “At first | was unhappy at Lipscomb because | did not get involved in what was going on. My father wanted me to come to Lipscomb so after a year and a half, | decided to make the best of it,’’ Miss Weathers stated. ‘‘l made my decision overnight to get involved and | have never regretted it. | have been able to meet so many special people that | might not have been able to meet otherwise. | had the best of two worlds because | was able to work with Dr. McKelvey and Dr. Loyd. They are both fine men, and helped us a great deal,’’ she went on to say. Trevathan and Miss Weathers first planned the Consti- tutional Committee during the summer quarter which Sampson and Miss Turbyfield would put into effect. The committee has made Lipscomb history because it has greatly changed the face of student politics. Students have more of a say in what is happening to them. As a result, students have taken a greater interest in the ad- ministration. Trevathan, a biology major, graduated in December, and was accepted into Emory Medical School. The son of Dr. Norman Trevathan, the president of the student body began. his long career at Lipscomb in kindergarten and continued his education here until college graduation. One of the main features of the work of Trevathan and Miss Weathers was the canoe trip which was taken by the student body in July. 17 people went on the trip along with Trevathan and Miss Weatheers. Tours were also giv- en by Trevathan and Miss Weathers for the benefit of high school seniors who were thinking about attending Lips- comb in the future. They had talk sessions together, lived in the dormitories, attended classes, and ate upstairs in the dining center. ‘The workshops were very meaningful to Eddie and I. Many of the kids who came in the summer did decide to come to Lipscomb in the fall. The friendships which we made are very valuable,’’ Miss Weathers stated. PRESIDENT SECRETARY — SUMMER 179 David Sampson and Sherry Turbyfill pause on the dining center steps after attending a conference dinner. PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY — WINTER David Sampson and Sherry Turbyfill were elected president and secretary in the student body elections Novem- ber 17, 1977, for winter and spring quarters. They replaced the former officers, Eddie Trevathan and Vicki Weathers, and began their term of of- fice during the winter quarter, 1978. Sampson was a political science major with History, French and Eng- lish minors. His proposals for the Stu- dent Association included the elec- tion of four executive officers: a presi- dent, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer; the formation of a student senate made up from two to four members of each class; and the for- mation of committees for boarding students, day students, entertain- ment, and academic programs. Miss Turbyfill was a native of Creve- cour, Mo., with a business manage- ment major and an economics minor. She was a member of Phi Omega, Phi Beta Lambda and Chorale. The following dialogue is excerpted from an interview conducted by the BACKLOG staff with Student Body President David Sampson and Secre- tary Sherry Turbyfill in November, 1977. BACKLOG: Why did you choose DLC? Sampson: When | graduated from high school | had no concept of where | wanted to go to school. Through the help of my parents and a graduate of Lipscomb, Roy Mclnteer, | started looking into Lipscomb, | certainly have not regretted my decision to come to Lipscomb. Miss Turbyfill: | had never heard of Lipscomb before. Living in St. Louis, everybody went to Harding. My sister came here for two years and fell in love with the school. | came down to visit with her and | liked the atmo- sphere. | love Nashville and wanted to come South. | didn’t think a state school was quite right for me at the time. When | did visit, there was a warmth and friendliness that said this is the place for you. It’s been great and | wouldn’t change anything about 1u BACKLOG: Why did you choose to run for a Student Body Office? Sampson: It had been my pleasure to work with past officers in discuss- ing the need for a revision of the orga- nization of student body officers. After the resignation of our former President, the opportunity presented itself to go to the administration with many of our ideas. | ran first because of my backgroun in Political science and secondly because my participa- tion in the committees that | had been working with in the past would be valuable in providing some con- tinuity between the administrations. | felt | had many ideas to contribute, and this is probably the greatest moti- vation | had in running. Miss Turbyfill: The idea of working with Vice-President McKelvey and President Collins was really exciting. | thought | would like the chance to work with these people and their posi- tions and | would like to serve as a go- between for the student body and the administration. | wanted to serve in the capacity of secretary because | could help in letting the administra- tion know what the students really wanted. BACKLOG: Does Lipscomb ade- quately prepare its students to face the world? Sampson: Without a question or a minute's hesitation | would say ‘‘yes.”’ | think our record proves that. The record of acceptance of medical school applicants is far above the average; our record of acceptance to law school is higher than the national average; we have graduates who have graduated from the top Ivy League schools. We have graduates from Lipscomb who are presently serving in the White House, Congress, House of Representatives, and on the state level. In the business field, Lipscomb had a great reputation. Miss Turbyfill: | agree 100%. The professors and the men and women teaching here are tremendous. They are all highly skilled and very dedi- cated to their work and that means so much. We have many people coming to Lipscomb for applications because they know the kind of quality Lips- comb puts out. BACKLOG: How has the year of Re- newal affected the Student Body as a whole? Sampson: It has given us a com- pletely new spirit. The students feel as if they are a part of Lipscomb. It has created a completely new outlook for students. Miss Turbyfill: You took the words right out of my mouth. | think it’s go- ing to be a big asset for us. We have so much to work with. So many fine peo- ple to work with. if | had to wrap the year of renewal in one word — it would be spirit. That’s the big change. It’s taking place in the faculty, in the students, and they are working to- gether. 181 The Constitutional Committee was an organization comprised of 14 stu- dents who wrote up the new guidelines for student government. The commit- tee, which was an extensive beginning of new student involvement, first be- gan meeting in December, 1977. The members were chosen from all four classes and represented a large range of student body interest. Under the leadership of Student Body President David Sampson, the committee wrote the constitution to be used by the new All Student Association. ‘Because the old constitution was fragmentary and did not meet. the needs of the student body, what we Presidents -“ e DAD UPSCOMB COLLEGE 182 CONSTITUTION COMMITTEE did, under the direction of the adminis- tration, was very necessary. | feel it has been accepted very well by students which has been shown by the fact that 70 people ran for the 14 places in the elections spring quarter. The idea of class senators has caught on very well,’’ Sampson said. Among some of the feats which have been accomplished by new student in- terest is the beautification program. Comprehensive planning for the lands- caping of the campus was begun during spring quarter. The first part of the campus to be landscaped was the area surrounding the Student Services Building.

CONSTITUTIONAL COMMITTEE 183 BABBLER CONTINUES TO WIN AWARDS The BABBLER Lipscomb’s student news publication, retained its All- American status this year under the leadership of Matt Hearn and Donna Sanders. This honor, awarded by the Associat- ed Collegiate Press has repeatedly been given to the BABBLER for its high journalistc standards. Hearn served as editor during the summer and fall quarters. He attended a journalism workshop at Ohio State University during the summer. During fall quarter he, along with managing editor Donna Sanders and features editor Joey Watson, attended a three-day Associated Collegiate Press Convention in New Orleans, Lou- isiana. Throughout the convention, journalists were instructed in elements of style, lay-out, and newspaper make- up. When Hearn graduated, Donna Sand- ers took over as editor for winter and spring quarters. In March, she attend- ed a special briefing for college editors at the White House. This session in- cluded a half-hour press conference with President Carter. Spring quarter began a new phase for the BABBLER as it became a more student-oriented newspaper. Alumni and other related features were incor- porated into a new publication, Lips- comb News. Accordingly the BABBLER is no longer mailed to the alumni. Copy for the BABBLER is set at the Review-Appeal in Franklin, Tn., and printed at Mid-South Press. Dean Dennis Loyd serves as faculty advisor for the BABBLER. BELOW: (1) Tom Morgan BABBLER STAFF. FRONT ROW: Margay Thomas, Deborah Stone, Karen Nichols, Editor Donna Sanders.

Karen Nichols, Brent EDITOR’S COMMENTS Being editor of the BABBLER is an ex- perience everyone should have at least once in their college life. It has, of course, both advantages and disadvantages. Disadvantages include late nights, last stories, no pictures, more late nights, and missed deadlines. But the advantages come first by far. The main advantage it offers is the privi- lege of working with a great staff made up of people who are dedicated to their jobs and who can handle the responsibilities placed on them. The student body itself is another ad- vantage. People whom you would pre- viously have passed with only a casual “hello’”’ soon become good friends. The interest you take in their lives and their achievements as you report for the news- paper becomes the basis for good, lasting friendships. And last but certainly not least, it offers a great opportunity for forming better student-faculty relationships. The chance to work with an adviser like Dean Loyd is well worth the work involved. And the oth- er administration and faculty members that you get to know through the BAB- BLER are most always considerate and willing to help out. 185 186 EDITOR’S COMMENTS As editor of the 1978 BACKLOG. | realized one j of the greatest challenges of my life. The work was varied and interesting, never mundane or routine to me. | enjoyed working with an efficient staff as we all met the demands of the book together. As a Christian, | relied on God’s help, which is the main component in any success the book may have. | was also priviledged to have the services of an excellent advisor, Mr. John Hut- cheson, and his wife, Mary Nelle Hutcheson. As a student who “‘grew up” at Lipscomb , having begun in the kindergarten and continuing through college, | learned more about the school during my last year than in all the other years combined. | cannot state in words my apprecia- tion to an institution which | feel will always re- main one of the giant centers of Christian educa- tion. | believe the school has made remarkable strides since its early beginning when students and materials were scare. | have tried to stress these facts in the BACKLOG to illustrate how far we have really come. | would like to offer my sincere appreciation to an administration and student body who defina- tely made the 1978 BACKLOG, a possibility. In order to produce a yearbook, the help of these two groups is vital. The development of the 1978 BACKLOG came about because of everyone’s help. | can honestly say the staff's work was made much easier. AUGUST BACKLOG PROMISED The BACKLOG continued to change in 1978 in order to meet the new de- mands of an up-coming student body. As the book was presented to the stu- dent body on August 12, 1978, instead of the previous November production dates, the trend continued for an even earlier book in 1979 which will arrive next summer shortly before the quar- ter is over. More attention was cen- tered around photography as a new darkroom was supplied to the staff and many staff members were trained un- der the eye of professional photogra- pher, Rudy Sanders. The most modern equipment including an automatic pic- ture dryer and two. new enlargers was bought out of the 1978 BACKLOG bua- get. The staff realized under the advice of Sanders that the better equipment will last longer and will be a greater asset to the staffs of the future. The format of the BACKLOG was changed in order to supply more copy, most of which involved general infor- mation. This extended factual record will aid everyone years from now as time causes fading memories of the college experience at Lipscomb in 1978. The book’s cover and theme were planned to be more traditional. The cover, which was designed by manag- ing editor, Robert Whiting, was made to be elegant and simple. The theme, ‘‘Faces’’ was chosen because of its de- velopment of all campus activities. (1) Vince Hugele looks over a roll of negatives.

John Brown, Carl McKelvey, Jacky Ray Dav Earl Dennis, 213 214 CARL MCKELVEY - — - CAMPUS AFFAIRS Dr. Carl McKelvey spent a busy year filling the new position of Vice President of Campus Affairs. As as- sociate professor of Bible, McKelvey continued to teach several Bible courses even though his time was limited. His duties were varied and extensive. McKelvey headed the ca- tagories of student behavior, chapel, student publications, athletics, and the audio visual center. He was also in charge of all public programs sponsored by the school such as lec- tureships. It was McKelvey’s respon- sibility to plan and direct chapel ser- vices and see that chapel was con- ducted properly. He also served on the Executive Council, and the Fac- ulty Council. He was the chairman of the coordinating committee on food preference, admissions committee, student affairs, campus affairs and athletics. McKelvey was also avail- able in taking care of school busi- ness during the times that President Collins was out of town. Under the category of student be- havior, which probably affected Lipscomb students the most, McKel- vey was in charge of facets of cam- pus life. He spent the year oversee- ing the clinic, off-campus residents, security, traffic committee, schedul- ing of facilities, the school calendar, withdrawal, social clubs, student body officers, entertainment, reli- gious clubs, and professional clubs. Working closely with him in the ma- jority of the areas were Dean Loyd and Dean Gamble. McKelvey, a native Nashvillian, re- ceived his B.A. degree from Lips- comb in 1953. He studied at Scarritt College, receiving his M.A. degree in 1958.

MACK WAYNE CRAIG — DEVELOPMENT Mack Wayne Craig, the Vice Presi- dent for Institutional Planning, first came to Lipscomb as a student in 1943. After graduating from Lips- comb, which was then a junior col- lege, Craig went on to Vanderbilt where he finished his degree. He re- turned to Lipscomb as a full time teacher, soon moving to the office of the high school principal, a post he would hold for eight years. The late 1950's saw his rise to Academic Dean of the college. And by the end of another decade he had expanded his talents to become a teacher of Bible and a minister of the Vultee congregation. 1977 brought Craig to the position of Vice President for Institutional Planning. Three areas of concentra- tion were engaged as the primary functions of this office: relations, in- stitutional development, and aca- demic planning. According to Craig, extensive travel is involved in his ef- forts to organize alumni support. He views his office as reflective of alum- ni, philosophy, student needs, and the college’s future. The vital facet of his work is fund-raising, drawing upon the generosity of alumni, stu- dents, and interested patrons. Con- sidered one of the most receptive and responsible leaders, Craig has become a source of love, energy, and involvement. His zeal for civic work in numerous organizations, among them, the Society of Historic Preservation and Restoration, is un- flagging. And his interest in students and their academic growth extends to an annual trip to Europe for thirty campus individuals. An inspiration to the student body, Craig continues to serve in an unselfish way in his new administrative capacity. ADMINISTRATION 215 SARAH GAMBLE — DEAN OF WOMEN 216 ADMINISTRATION ‘There are two main reasons why | like my job as Dean of Women.

Ever searching for ways to best im- plement her position, Miss Gamble worked dedicatingly with college wom- en and the affairs concerning them. Her job consisted mainly in working closely with the head residents of the women’s dormitories as well as advis- ing women students. She assisted in the development of the A.S.A. as well as lending support to the I.C.C. Miss Gamble stressed the importance of in- dividual conferences, which she stated were favorable since students’ ques- tions concerning all types of activities were better served. She went on to say that 1978 was the start of a very excit- ing future for Lipscomb and that the new possibilities for administrative s- tudent relationships were endless. Miss Gamble also assisted Dean Loyd in making suggestions for the Student Handbook. It is their responsibility to revise the book each year, although they do not write all the rules. “Being at Lipscomb and working with college students is being in a great atmosphere. It keeps you young in spir- it,'’ Miss Gamble further commented. Miss Gamble enjoys cooking as a hobby and loves to entertain. She also does needlework when she can find the time. ‘| don’t think Lipscomb has been af- fected by such outside happenings as the movement of the sixties. The homes from which our students come have not permitted their children to be involved in those events. We only had a few ripples, but nothing compared to other places,’’ Miss Gamble said. “I! think the impression Lipscomb students make on the community is favorable. The public sees in Lipscomb students what it doesn’t see in the average student from other schools. We think our students have a realistic view of society while at the same time, are striving for ideals,’’ she went on to say. Dr. Dennis Loyd, Dean of Men, worked in close contact with the stu- dent body during his first year in the administrative position. A 1958 Lips- comb graduate, Loyd taught for 18 years on both high school and college levels with M.A., Ed.S. and Ph.D. de- grees from Peabody. Loyd moved into his new responsibilities as Dean of Men last July after being appointed by Ath- ens Clay Pullias. He taught one sopho- more level English class during the fall quarter and has continued to teach at least one class each succeeding quar- ter. The choosing of Loyd for the position of Dean of Men resulted from the ad- ministration’s reorganization of various offices in order to make them more efficient. Loyd has worked closely with Vice-President McKelvey, the former Dean of Students, and Sarah Keith Gamble, the Dean of Women. The reor- ganization enabled the administrators to give more individual attention to stu- DENNIS LOYD — DEAN OF MEN dents. ‘| have learned a lot during my first year,’’ Loyd stated. “It has been a good year and the students have been very co-operative. The highlight of the year, | think, was the establishment of the ASA. ’ Loyd handles all disciplinary areas concerning men. He is amember of the Student Affairs Committee, which re- views disciplinary cases. Serving also on the traffic committee, Loyd reviews all tickets that are questioned by stu- dents. A student with a disagreement about a ticket may see Loyd before paying the fine. If a question still re- mains, after a meeting with Loyd, the student may go with Loyd to the traffic Committee and present his case there. Otherwise, the student is charged for the fine. Both Loyd and Miss Gamble initiated a new system of entertainment for the student body. With a long list of famous names such as Ray Stevens, B.J. Thomas, and the Four Guys, the cam- pus had opportunities of inviting well- known singers. Through the scheduling of concerts, and co-operation of stu- dents, the entertainment policies were very successful and received a large response. Besides his other responsibilities of working with the I.C.C., directing sin- garama activities, and sponsoring the BABBLER, Loyd was involved in many works off the college campus. He preached for the Greenstreet Church of Christ, was the chairman of AGAPE and was the Co-Vice-President of the Elementary Parents’ Club. “Our students are not fanatical and do not go of f the deep end in any direc- tion. The balanced approach of moral and ethical standards gives the stu- dents a sensitivity to society’s prob- lems. Our students are trained to do a job well, and because of their sense of responsibility, society likes our pro- ducts,’’ Loyd went on to say. ADMINISTRATION 217 218 RALPH’ BRYANT REGISTRAR Dr. Ralph Bryant entered his thirty- first year as the Registrar in 1978. When he first came to work in the reg- istration office in 1948, there were only five hundred students to keep up with as opposed to the two thousand of to- day. Transcripts were typed by hand, and grades were posted by hand. Bry- ant saw the first changes in automation when photographic equipment was ad- ded by the school to replace the te- dious typing of transcripts. Computers were added years later, and have changed the appearance of the regis- tration office. Lipscomb became a Cus- tomer of a computer service which handled grade reporting and some business work. Bryant was also instru- mental in helping the school operate its own computer center but decided to go back to the commercial comput- er because the center could not handle the growing amount of work. Bryant is an active member of the Tennessee Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers. Ev- ery year he attends the annual meeting of TACRAO and also alternates be- tween the American and Southern Divi- sions.

We also strive toward operat- ing as efficiently as possible,’’ Holman stated. He went on to say that student participation in such areas as campus beautification and dormitory renova- tions has been most helpful. “Students have helped during the last year in deciding what needs to be done in inplementing the work that is to be accomplished. The important renovations of the dormitories last summer was made possible partly be- cause of student cooperation.”’ Holman first came to Lipscomb in 1946 as a student. His interest in fol- lowing the champion Bison baseball team stems from his college days when he played third base for Lipscomb. Hol- man became the Business Manager in 1957, and Vice-President of Business Affairs in 1977. Many changes have taken place since the time he was 24 student. ‘Business men have told us that they prefer Lipscomb students be- cause they are so dependable and al- ways earn their way. Many want Lips- comb students working for and with them in the business community. EARL DENNIS ACADEMICS As part of the new administration structure, Dr. Earl Dennis worked successfully in his first year as Act- ing Dean. The mathematics profes- sor took over the responsibilities of Mack Wayne Craig. Dennis, the over- all director of the academic pro- gram, began teaching at Lipscomb in 1960. Prior to that time, he spent nine years in industrial work after graduating from Vanderbilt Universi- ty with a degree in chemical engi- neering. Dennis continued to teach one course after accepting the post of Acting Dean. ‘| have really enjoyed working as the Acting Dean. Here at Lipscomb the work is very interesting and the good days have certainly outnum- bered the bad. “The academic program is what a college is all about,’’ he went on to say. ‘“‘At Lipscomb, of course, we’re a Christian college. If we didn’t have a spiritual emphasis, we wouldn’t be here,’’ Dennis stated. RALPH SAMPLES — TESTING, COUNSELING Dr. Ralph Samples, the Director of Testing and Counseling works main- ly on a one-to-one basis with stu- dents. His job consists in considering ACT tests as well as overseeing gra- duate examinations. Samples also advises students on studying habits as well as vocational careers. He helps seniors find jobs and checks scholarships and fellowship possibili- ties. A psychology professor, Sam- ples teaches several Human Growth and Development and Adolescent Psychology classes. “If students have any kind of a problem such as depression of diffi- culty in studying, they can come to me. (I haven't advertised a lot be- cause | stay busy in counseling,”’ Samples said.) Samples came to Lipscomb as a student in 1956. Finishing his last two years of undergraduate work at Lipscomb in 1958, he did not return until 1966, when he came back as a teacher and administrator. Samples is in his twelfth year as golf coach. He was head of the psychology de- partment for four years. One year, Samples was in charge of chapel and admissions as he worked in these capacities on a temporary helping basis. Samples likes to travel with his wife. Currently they have been abroad five times and plan to return to Germany this summer. 219 ‘s Steve Adams, college store Malvin Algood, security Lester Barnard, college store Lora Barnard, college store Deanna Blakenship, cashier Robert Burt, college store Mary Carrigan, secretary to chairman of Physical Education Larry Cochran, assistant to the Vice-President for Business Affairs Debbie Coggin, secretary to Director of Testing, Counseling Edith Cook, college store Thomas Cook, manager of college store Ruth Culbertson, admissions Steve Davidson, admissions Connie Dee, business office Eugene Dickson, maintenance Allene Dillingham, secretary to registrar Harry Edwards, maintenance Dot Empson, secretary to division of Teacher Education Steve Flatt, admissions Reba Gamble, switchboard Jesse Gore, security Mary Emily Gore, secretary to Academic Dean GENERAL STAFF 220 GENERAL STAFF Jane Hardy, supervisor of admissions Mary Hargis, admissions Jackie Hassell, admissions Maurice Hassey, post office Claude Hayes, heating plant Virginia Hooper, college store Jackie Howard, accounts receivable Paul Hughey, security Nancy Hussey, development Sie Ivey, maintenance Carrie Jennings, secretary of science building Jimmy Langley, assistant supervisor of buildings and grounds Elmer McCoy, supervisor of duplicating, mailing room, post office Dora Mangrum, secretary of Audio-Visual and Education Nancy Miller, health center Jo Newson, secretary to Vice-President of Planning and Development Betty Northcut, admissions Dianne Olive, secretary to the President Dolly Patton, Development Charlie Dickson, maintenance Rick Poole, college store Mary Proctor, secretary to Dean of Men and Assistant Dean of Students GENERAL STAFF GENERAL STAFF 221 Ann Marie Robertson, development Douglas Robertson, maintenance John Sanders, audio-visual Mildred Scott, health center Mary Sherrill, administrative assistant to the president Debra Smith, secretary to registrar Lind Smith, maintenance Marie Smith, secretary to Vice-President for Business Affairs Bill Speight, admissions ¢ Shirley Stansberry, secretary to Vice-President for Student Affairs Bill Stevens, maintenance Jean Stinson, development Joan Thomas, business office Arnold Underwood, supervisor of maintenance Edith Whitehead, financial aid records Cleo Whitfield, chapel office Ruth Ann Williams, payroll Paul Wolfert, security Betty Yates, development Margaret Young, secretary to chairman of Bible Department GENERAL STAFF 222 GENERAL STAFF Shari Bickel, secretary to acquisitions library Mrs. Josephine L.

The college confers two degrees, the Backelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Sciences in well over forty fields of study. Major and minor curricula falling within these areas are available through on-campus work as well as extension and corre- spondence courses. Seventeen departments exist at Lipscomb offering twenty-five B.A. and eighteen B.S. degrees. A teacher edu- cation program is applicable to many majors, preparing the student for teaching duties in elementary and high schools. A pre-professional curricula is also open to those interested in ca- reers in dentistry, nursing, medicine, medical technology, pharmacy, veteri- nary medicine, engineering, and law. Specialized course programs in office administration are similarly in effect. In accord with Lipscomb’s primary function, each academic section is a strong proponent of its won study as it simultaneously maintains a sensitivity to doctrinal truths. Each member of the faculty and staff is of the highest order both professionally and person- ally. Daily Bible classes and chapel per- iods further emphasize the effort to- ward Christian education. The majority of the college teaching force hold doctorates in their areas of specialization. Several professors are honored by post-doctoral degrees. As an ever higher education is encour- aged for each instructor so is scholarly publication. Every department is noted for the written work of at least one of its members in either book or journal- ized form. Several departments are further distinguished by the critically outstanding efforts of its staff authors. Among their more acclaimed achiev- ments are listed popular college text- books, religious commentaries, defini- tive bibliographies, and highly touted historical documentation. Students as well as teachers play a role in college academics, however, and the responsibility for a sound edu- cational program must be shared. Within the entrance stages of colle- giate process certain specifications must be met in realms of both the aca- demic and the personal. General loans and funds are available for those who desire financial assistance in gaining admission. Scholarships and grants are also abundant for those students of high academic and civic standing. Once active in college study, ad- vanced placement and advanced cred- it standing are open to appropriate stu- dents. Lipscomb will allow a maximum of fifty quarter hours of credit based on a combination of correspondence courses, extension courses, advanced placement examinations, and equiva- lency tests. ROTC participation with departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force is also available, in the form of twenty hours credit through cross- enrollment in other local universities. All academic work at Lipscomb is graded by the letters ‘‘A’’ through ‘‘F’’, the former denoting excellence and the latter failure. Accompanying each letter grade is a corresponding number of quality points, the ‘‘A”’ receiving four points; the ‘‘B’’ three; the ‘‘C’’, two; and the ‘‘D’’, one point. A student is expected to maintain a quality point average of at least 2.00 through his 198 hours of study in order to gra- duate. Alongside student responsibilities hover student opportunities. The po- tential for growth within the scope of academics as well as extracurricular pleasures and pastimes is boundless. With a faculty which nurtures all facets of Christian education and a student body which reinforces such learning, personal development is an inherent feature of student life. 225 RECORD ENROLLMENT FOR BUSINESS With a record enrollment each quarter of 1978, the business ad- ministration department knew it must have been doing something right. During the past year over 400 students indicated a major in an area under the department’s supervision. And heightened stu- dent interest has resulted in the staff's Long-Range Planning Com- mittee decision to increase course offerings, expand the fac- ulty, and add some new majors in related fields. Primary among the faculty’s accomplishments for the aca- demic year was the department's First Annual Business Ad Lecture with guest lecturer William D. Biggs. The direction of the local chapter of the National Associ- ation of Accountants’ CPA Review and CPA Examination Critique also came under business admin- istration jurisdiction. Heading the group was Dr. Axel Swang with 30 years of teaching experience and 20 years as de- partment chairman. Filling other teaching posts were Professors Charles Fraiser, William Ingram, Patty Duggan, and Duncan Rush- ing. Farrell Gean, presently finaliz- ing his doctoral studies at Georgia State University, will complete the business administration facul- ty. David L. Adams James T.

It exists as an ac- knowledgement of superior academic work. Such an award is based on the distinction of previous achievements and the scholarly merit of proposed ef- forts. Several among the faculty members at Lipscomb were esteemed in such a tangible way during the year. Research grants originating in college funds were issued to numerous scholars. Dr. James McDonough of the history de- partment was on summer leave in or- der to explore more fully the western theater of the Civil War. McDonough was also the recipient of the presti- gious Justine Potter Award for distin- guished service. Dr. Patrick Deese of the political science staff similarly ac- quired the summer’s leave to research the political lives of three Tennessee judges who served on the U.S. Su- preme Court. Heralding from other academic areas so honored by grants were Dr. Morris Landiss of the English depart- ment, Dr. Sara Whitten of the modern languages faculty, Dr. John Netterville of the chemistry staff, and Dr. Thomas Whitfield of the education department.

The ever increasing impe- tus on academic authorship has effect- ed a growing force of writers within the college. Dr. Constance Fulmer of the English department saw the publication of her definitive bibliography of George Eliot criticism. The work considers critical articles on the novelist dating from the late 1800’s to 1970. The History department claimed two resident authors during the past year. Dr. Robert Hooper was gratified with the appearance of his book-length study of David Lipscomb, A Call to Re- member. Dr. James Lee McDonough was recognized for his critically ac- claimed interpretation of the battle of Shiloh, Shiloh: In Hell Before Night. Other departments noting profes- sors who have met with publication are the Chemistry staff, the Physical Edu- cation faculty, and the Psychology de- partment. { FACULTY 231 Contrance i | Gladys E.

The house, locat- ed on Belmont Boulavard, directly across from the campus, was built in 1958 by Mr. and Mrs. A.M. Burton. After living there for a few months, the Burtons decided to move back to their home on Hillsboro Road and dedicated the house to the home economics de- partment. The house was designated especially for use as a residence in the education of home economics stu- dents. Before the home was given to 232 FACULTY the department, a smaller house near- by was used by the students. The newer, more efficient home proved a better asset for the purposes needed by the students. Each quarter students from the up- per division Home Management Resi- dence Class live in the home while ful- filling homemaking responsibilities. The students are placed in charge of clean- ing, cooking, and gardening for the home. A maximum of seven women live in the home each quarter. The stu- dents are graded at the end of each Joseph T. Thomas E. Haines Hanvey Instructor Associate Physical Professor Education Physical Education John C. Doy O.

The home economics teachers stressed the enjoyment that the stu- dents receive while living in the home. Close friendships are formed as the students learn more than the manage- ment of a home. Sharing the home in- volves responsibility in co-operation with others. The department contin- ued to appreciate the generous gift which has made a great impact on the learning of the home economics stu- dents. OUTSTANDING YEAR FOR HISTORY MAJORS On the pinnacle of scholarship re- sides the history and political science department. An active student force combined with an energetic and recep- tive faculty has produced a depart- ment unique in its campus leadership. Under professorial encouragement, the department gave the college its 1978 student body president, Home- coming Queen, Bachelor of Ugliness, Inter-Club Council President, BABBLER editor, and nine of the thirty-four mem- bers of Who’s Who in Colleges and Uni- versities. The department also delight- ed in claiming as its own the chairman of the Tennessee College Republican Federation, the fourth place winners of a national debate tournament, and the winner of the Founders’ Day Oratorical Contest. The brilliant student achievements emanating from a single source would be astounding were it not for the cre- dentials of the department's faculty. Each educator holds a doctoral de- gree, several having advanced into post-doctoral research. Regular recipi- ents of study grants and fellowships, the staff is noted for the recognition its members have received from national organizations. As a chief priority of Drs. Robert Hooper, James Lee McDon- ough, Norman Trevathan, Patrick Deese, and Lewis Maiden is the subject of scholarly publications. Ranging from church documentation to historical re- search, each has met with published work in recent months. Equally commendable is the fact that efforts have not creased with acco- lades. Plans, already born, are finding maturity in continued student and fac- ulty action. Robert E. Hooper Professor History Political Science Robert H. Kerce Professor Math Margaret L.

Dr. Floyd, who has been at Lipsomb for twenty-five years, was honored at a dinner held at the school last winter. President Collins made a presentation to Dr. Floyd and his wife for their many years of service to the school. Dr. Floyd came to Lipscomb in 1953, after receiving a degree at Hebrew Union University. Not only is Dr. Floyd fluent in Hebrew, but he also speaks Greek as well as French. Dr. Floyd has stated many times in his classes over 234 FACULTY the years, about the importance ot go- ing back to the original Greek and He- brew for translations of the Bible. He was one of the first persons to publical- ly make the statement that the King James Version is a good version, but it should not be relied on completely for Bible study and meditation. Dr. Floyd is the father of three chil- dren and the grandfather of one. He and his wife have been married for thir- ty years. All of his children have attend- ed Lipscomb. a Clyde M.

Its numerous compo- nents are as intangible as they are inevitable. Its life may span a moment or an eternity. And so its embodiment within a singular individual is all the more awesome. Immune to dispute, however, is the contention that greatness deserves to be honored. And adhering to that conviction is the Lipscomb BACKLOG. Although many avenues of recognition are open, the highest form of praise of which the book is capable is that of formal dedication. Such an act is the gift of the yearbook itself and the student body it represents to an individual for whom is felt esteem, affection, and gratitude. It is for these reasons the 1978 BACKLOG is dedicated to Dr. Batsell Barrett Baxter. Minister, educator, author, and lecturer, Dr. Baxter is foremost a kind and compassionate man. His attitude of humility is as ever present as is his multitude of accomplishments. Having preached for many years at a local congregation as well as though multi-medea exposure, three decades of teaching in Lipscomb’s Bible Department have found their way into his life. And in addition to his efforts as chairman of the Bible faculty, Dr. Baxter has published a massive volumn of books and essays. ‘“But in each class there are born a certain number of natures with a curiosity about their best self, with a bent for seeing things as they are, for disentangling themselves from machinery, for simply concerning themselves with reason and the will of God, and doing their best to make these prevail; for the pursuit, in a word, of perfection.

Students and faucity alike look forward every year to the display of performing club, Delta Nu’s, talents. The show ventured out in the song areas of the 60’s and 70’s as well as those of the 50’s, which are traditionally performed by the club. Among some of the songs sung during the concert were ‘Suspicious Mind,’’ ‘‘Teddy Bear,’’ ‘‘Jailhouse Rock,” ‘‘Way Down,” and ‘‘Can’t Help Falling in Love.’’ The show was given an A plus rating by Lipscomb’s enter- tainment expert, Lee Milam. When a social club can perform on the stage in the manner that Delta Nu has, much team work is demonstrated. A social club at Lipscomb is a gathering of people who like to be together. Delta Nu has gone one step farther — it’s members like to work together. Other clubs also work very well together, but Delta Nu goes be- yond the call of duty. Giving the annual Delta Na Na Na show to Lipscomb is the club's gift to the school. Elaborate plans and many countless hours of practice go into the show. INDEX 242 The following is an exert from a short commentary written by Dr. Jimmy Thomas for the May 9, 1978 issue of the BABBLER. Here we are in the midst of another spring quarter at DLC — at least here some of us are. | have not seen others since the research paper was assigned and Sigarama practice began. No other quarter is quite like this one. When | remember my own undergraduate days, it is always spring. | am filled with memories of strenous campaigns to engineer a date with a coed or of some ludicrous and foolish prank, like smearing silver nitrate on the face of a friend while he slept. “April is the cruellest month,” T.S. Eliot once wrote. To an aging although not yet aged, assistant professor, ev ery April seems a little more cruel. What is grossly unfair about spring is that nature itself mocks the fact that | unlike the flowers, am not blooming again with ever returning spring. And what is grossly cruel is that you, the undergraduates, are always the same age. You wily spring quarter students never get any older. Spring makes me want time to stop or at least slow down a little. After all, before another season | will be thirty-two years old. You may not realize the absurdity of that fact, but | surely do. It is all either a fraud, joke, or a big mistake. | cannot possibly be thirty-two with all of you holding around twenty. Logically, | can appreciate and elaborate the things that have happened to me since | was twenty: the blessings | have, the accomplishments such as they are. But Sometimes — in the spring — even they do not quite seem real. Before | received the ‘‘terminal’’ graduate degree, | always expected a sudden rush of knowledge to accompany a Ph.D., a time when | would — at last — be wise. Now that | have indulged in (and imposed upon you not a little self pity), let me admit quickly that | realize your undergraduate days — as were mine — are not all roses (| omitted the wine of the allusion). Like any other romantic, | tend to remember not ‘‘the way we were,” but the way we wish we were. As Eliot says, memory mixes with desire when | view the past. | tend to forget the nights without sleep, the tests without study, the weekends without dates, the dates without money — all the agonizing over grades and social acceptance and the choice of a career, and the continual pressures from what always seemed like a thousand different directions. | recall the concern with trying through it all, to do the right thing and be the right kind of person and to turn out to be someone the people you love could point to if not with pride, at least without being ashamed. You see, | still remember all that agony amid the ecstasy too. | just have to work harder to call those details to mind because | have more than a decade of successful repression between them and me. Something else that makes me remember the difficulties of undergraduate days is that occasionally one of you will express a little envy of being in my situation or ‘‘stage in life.’’ That is, you will wonder what it is like to be ‘‘settled,’’ with your family, a home life, a vocation, and all the rest that goes along with being “established.” | suppose that what | have taken for granted is, to you, security and certainty and perhaps even success when viewed from a situation where almost everything is still in a state of flux. After all, your dreams and desires are punctuated with question marks. Mine may not always be punctuated with exclamation points, but with periods at least. (You see what teaching Freshman English can do to your mind.) If you find something to desire in my time of life, and | in yours, than logically we should both resolve to live in the present. You should resist the tendency to live in the future and should enjoy your spring. And in the meantime, | should give up my longing of the past, recover from the fit of nostalgia that is upon me, and decide, as Emerson wrote when he was sixty-four, “‘It is time to be — To take sail.'’ Of course, neither of us will be very successful in renouncing our past and future reveries, | fear, since we are human and thus have memories and dreams. The vexing springtime is what causes me to react more emotionally than logically. When | see you walking on campus, sitting on ‘‘the wall,’’ sleeping in class, cheering on the bleachers, or otherwise laughing the day away, | am almost haunted by something that Daniel Patrick Moynihan once wrote. Perfectly describing that ‘‘just over thirty’’ feeling, Moynihan said: ‘‘It’s not that we'll never laugh again; it’s just that we'll never be young again.”’ You supposedly ‘“‘young and foolish” undergraduates enrolled in the spring quarter at DLC, do not look too long in our direction — at least not in the springtime. Do not be too long desiring our accomplishments, our being settled, or knowledgeable, or established. After all, we may be wise, but we are no longer foolish. And even though we laugh, we are no longer young. This is your season. April is a cruel month for me. | am beginning to like the fall. | suspect that soon it will be my favorite season. The colors of autumn, | have noticed, are getting more beautiful every year.
